    I think that Childe dreams about the whale is extremely similar to what we see in the trailer with Freminet.
    Although subtle, when we see Freminet dive in the trailer, right before he start to panic, there is a huge shadow that comes toward him.
    This, I think, is the whale that Childe talks about.

    You kinda blew my mind with the triplets theory. Hoyo doesn't do anything without a reason so it is possible; it would also explain how Furina was instated as the "new" Hydro Archon. So perhaps the Lord of Amrita was the eldest of the trio, then the middle sacrificed herself - or was sacrificed - to create the Oratrice, leaving Furina, the youngest to lead Fontaine. If that's the case... fuck. Fontaine is going to break me emotionally it seems.
    Also, we kinda do know who the one from Sumeru was. In the first few shots with Furina, we see a man who looks almost the same as him give a bow with Furina in the shot, as she explains how she knew when the Traveler would arrive in Fontaine. Though someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

    To add up to the three sisters
    - always that we have seen chairs (like adeptus table in lyue or the chais in the time stop place in sumeru) those chais had owners so those three thrones must have an owner
    -the justice has also a rule of three (judge, jury and executioner) so maybe:
    The executioner was the one who fought in the archon war and died in sumeru
    The judge is the one in the machine
    And jury is focalor

      or maybe it’s possible that egeria is the one who got sacrificed into the oratrice? people have been speculating two possibilities on who egeria might be.
      1. Egeria = Lord of Amrita which was the old hydro archon
      2. Egeria is the God of Justice and in Ars Goetia, Focalor’s goal is to climb the throne so people has been speculated that she killed Egeria/former hydro archon to get to where she is now.
      However, this triplet theory thing is definitely much more believable and interesting so it’s very much possible that Egeria was the sacrificed twin to make the oratrice.

    • @walteranurantha5014
      @walteranurantha5014 Před 10 měsíci +7

      Another theory I'm speculating for Act three is that we haven't seen a hydro gnosis inside of Furina like other previous Archons, nor in the machine like the Akasha terminal powered by Nahida's dendro gnosis similar to the Oratrice's power source.
      Could the hydro gnosis inside of Furina's heart we heard from the fountain messed up the Oratrice in an uncontrollable state?
      Or could the Hydro gnosis inside the Oratrice stores conciousness of the dead Hydro Archon twins into being glitched?
      If so, I think that's the main reason why Arlecchino and her adopted magician siblings has to steal the gnosis to not only shut down the glitched Oratrice plucked out of Furina, but also make the people of Fontaine rebel against Furina's false acts in a French revolution war before putting her on trial.

That would solve the question traveler and Paimon were asking themselves how she knew about them being in Fontaine.

    Actually I haven’t seen any CZcamsrs having realised who that man side-eyeing the traveler af sumeru was? But I noticed right away (at least if I am to trust my memory, I haven’t checked to match the appearances, yet) while playing, that the same person is bowing to Furina from the side right after she says that she knew that the traveler was coming because she, as an archon, is privy to information that mortals cannot hope to have.
    The point of that man seemed to make it clear from the behinning that Furina is quite desperate to dramatize things using what she has, so when the man told her that the traveler was coming, she came in charging to appear grand and mysterious. Anyway I'll check to see if the appearance really matches, now...

    *the guy we saw in sumeru is shown the time the traveler asks how furina knew he was coming
    he's hydro archon's informent
    *Neuvillette doesn't have a vision so he's either an archon or the hydro dragon
    a theory that Arlechino setup the whole Lyney and Lynette backstory
    now you might ask why she didn't just adopt them when they were orphans, the answer to that is simple
    there is no good without bad, the worse you experience the better the things that come after feel
    doing things this way got her their fealty, a great soldier is a soldier that doesn't question his superior even more so twists reality for them.

    I like your theory, really good work! Also, I wonder about Arlecchino, is she the 10th fatui or not? If she is, well we destroyed La Ashes with 3 elements, now We have 5 elements and It isnt wise for her to fight with us, instead be with us maybe? We should see the boss fight in 4.2 so Idk who will the boss be. Also, If Arlecchino the 4th Fatui, since the way Childe and Wanderer speaks about Capitano he should be first in that theory but It doesnt make any sense to me the 10th Seat is empty or not revealed since it is not a high number seat. So what do you think? Will we see some other fatui to take the gnosis and fight w us?

    I don’t think the oritrice is a twin of furina but more so the previous Hydro Archons consciousness because in Renes investigation notes, it talks about him, finding some sort of will in the oasis in the desert it’s possible he showed this to the archon and furina created the oritrice with it if you look at the Hydro statue, it looks exactly like furina but with different similarities and nahida says as the Archon of fountaine she’s still reserves the right to influence the final verdict if I had to predict, I feel like furina is a copy of the original Hydro Archons, that was created by Celestia in some type of way we even furina crying in the fountain of lucine talking about her being alone also, I think another thing that supports the theory is the fact that a triangle is supposedly the most ordered and balanced shape the fact furina may actually have a twin could possibly mean that they were all created by celestia if you really think about it, it makes sense the previous Hydro Hwy Archon could’ve been the older sibling with the middle one being the oritrice and the youngest being furina it’s very well, a possibility that the boys were here and the fountain of lucine is actually furina not only crying about being alone but he’s also still grieving over the death of her two sisters maybe or just the two copies of herself

    My thoughts on the "Notable things"
    1. I'm surprised you missed it, the side eye-ing Fontaine man is Furina's informant who told her about our arrival in Fountaine resulting in her dramatic entrance at the start
    2. This "It" has made Childe one of the most important characters for the entire story as "It" is a mystery power of some sort that can contain/Stop abyssal erosion as mentioned by Dainsleif that it should've been impossible for Halfdan to still retain his sense of self without "It"

    Nuvilette's definitely the hydro Dragon Lord we've been waiting for.

    Wait so from what I concluded, it could be that the oratrice is run by the power of the gnosis which answers how people’s belief is turned into power, and since the gnosis is a power from celestia and childe had ‘it’ in him,an abyssal something, it could be the reason as to why he was declared guilty

  • @krys9463
    @krys9463 Před 10 měsíci +5

    I'm not 100% certain about this but Childe's dream about a whale and Skirk telling him that he had it made me wonder if the two had either merged or it just simply gave him power. Although VERY different it reminded me of the meta morph surgery from Honkai, where a soldier is basically combined with a honkai beast and after that they have enhanced abilities as well as the ability to transform. One soldier in particular Kosma actually lost control and attacked one of his allies, and with Childe being moody maybe there's a chance that he will lose control and start attacking allies.
    The Oratrice may have sensed whatever 'it' is and decided he needed to be locked away to keep other people safe. If there's a chance he does lose control then its possible that Childe dies because he asks the Traveler to kill him if he ever does, this way his family doesn't get hurt. This is just a theory, but I do feel certain that we will get a Part Two for him and that quest might tell us what might happen in the future.

    I think the guy who was eyeing the Traveler in Sumeru was just to show how Furina knew that the Travelers were heading to Fontaine; As after they said they are heading to Fontaine is when his "..." text bubble shows up. When Paimon asks Furina how she knew they were coming to Fontaine, Furina does an ego boost as usual by saying something about how smart she is, when in actuality that guy told her what he overheard what the Traveler said in Sumeru as we can see as he bows to Furina while she is doing her Ego boost.
