- It's that time of the year and Hoyoverse are once again cranking up the quality AND quantity of Lore Drops in Genshin Impact. I want to share my initial thoughts and reaction to her Animated Short, "The Song Burning in the Embers", and discuss a number of potentially interesting details which caught my attention.

21:00 I kinda have an idea of what is going on here. Arlecchino summons several faries that resemble the Pari in their appearance during her boss fight. The Pari were born (partially at least) from Nabu Malikata who was Amun's Seelie lover and the 'Goddess' of Flowers. At the start of the video, I mention how Blue Fire is related to Seelies so these special children could be connected to that. This does NOT necessarily mean that they are Seelies.
I wish I said this in the video itself but whatever.
but her Pari has no face, more like a Hillichurl. Is it possible that she is supposed to represent Lilith? This is a bit out there but Cater tells a story about a girl that stole a flower in garden. Now seeing this trailer and that flowers are connected to the orphanage just increases my suspicions about this story. There is also the fact that Cater is duelling Arlecchino so there has to be a connection.
arlecchino can't be 400, she is normal human but cursed. she's mid/late 20s.
why? bc freminet backstory clearly told us he joined the house when the old knave still the leader and has bad memories about her, how he and the other children were treated back then.
29:10 just a reminder: the child is not freminet, people assume that was freminet bc of the hair color.
but the child has different eyes than freminet.
@@someoneinasia it depends if Arlecchinos story quest matches her constellation or not
@@alexanderericson8628 huh? what depends?
It seems like her arms become darker when she is around death (the spider funeral and the dead flowers).
Yeah the curse seems to activate around death, not specifically killing which is interesting, because she was beside the dying flowers it spread but it didn't appear to grow as she stabbed her friend. Maybe she absorbs the essence of things that die naturally?
In the in-game description the Lumidus Bells flowers represent departing and the desire to reunite/meet again. So seeing them wilted means there will be NO reuniting.
And the girl knave was „roommates” with had a necklace with this flower, so I think in the scene with Mother it was more representative of her. And there were 3 19:59 bells on the stem so we can assume it was to represent arlechino her friend and the knave. Also at the scene where battle took place were a lot of flowers in the foreground and the whole building went down by the arlechinos hand sooo for me it represents the deaths of children
25:55 :
why Arlecchino would not be : 16 years old when she killed "mother", and 28 years old now ?
Freminet was already in the orphanage at the change of director ; may-be he was 7 at the time, and now is 19 years old.
(12 years ago, Signora and Scaramouch were among the Fatuis.)
arlecchino cannot be 500 years old because freminet lived with the previous knave
This 👆
Yup
yes unless we do a copium theory and say that Arle was not aging like Cater and stayed as a child until recently where she started to grow up normally for some reason
but this is like super crack thought which is 99.9999999999999% not true
Not only that, there were the fatui in Inazuma who were still loyal to the previous knave who existed to the present time.
If arlecchino k*lled the previous knave around 390 something years ago the kids who were raised by the previous knave shouldn't be alive long enough for the traveller to meet them.
Wait a minute, why isn't he dead then, maybe it got retconed?
2:40 that bat creature is Il Dottore, it’s monstrous appearance and use of a stethoscope fit his description by Nahida during the Wanderer quest.
it's clearly meant to represent previous Knave it has blue eyes and colour scheme is exactly same as hers
It’s definitely not dottore. That would be random af lol. It’s clearly the previous knave
Just a small detail, but I don't think the lumidouce bells in the arena are representing all the children, rather just the pink haired girl that also appeared in the 4.6 livestream, because the girl was shown to wear one as necklace in 4:46 and basically every time she was shown as a child.
Nope his not talking about lumidouce his talking about that lumidouce around the flower and how that flower represent the children bloom 20:31
30:10 this may be related to her story quest with Freminet, however his eyes are blue not green.
I think it’s not freminet just a random kid since he knew the previous knave and have blue eyes like you said
The blonde girl with bulle fruit made me think this story is indeed somehow linked to the princess Marcotte as theories say. How every plant had a kingdom in the tale and here we have girl with bulle fruit and mother + daughter with lumidouce bell. Seems like some king of parallel, there must be some connection! Also maybe those kids with plant items are possible King candidates? As not all kids has those items.
I should add that I doubt the small boy at the end is not Freminet or the magic siblings Lyney or Lynette as all three have blue colored eyes and that child has yellow/gold/amber eyes. If there star rail adventurin material is to act as a standard they would not change a characters eye color between child and adult unless its part of there background story.
I agree with you.
One note: Lyney and Lynette have light purple eyes (lavender).
She's more likely in her late or even mid 20s than over 500 ( she's probably only about a few years older than Childe)
Freminet was a member of the house of hearth under the previous Knave before Arlecchino took over that would mean that Freminet would also be 400 + if that was the case
^This
So how did Freminet survive? Did he just get lucky?
@AndrewsMobs He was too young. The ones that were chosen to fight for the "king" position seem to all be in the same age range. This happened around 10 years ago. The girls that were fighting seem to be a minimum of 14/15/16 age range.
Arlecchino only destroyed one building.
This short really follows genshin overall theme.
Breaking the cycle.
Given how the overworld shows us basicly the failures of the last cycles,we as the players currently do everything to stop the repeat of history.
So does arlecchino with her own cycle od knave killing,she is probs trying to setup the trio(lyney,lynette,fremi)up to be the new leaders of the house of hearth
Blonde girl has a Bulle fruit, from Fontaine
I don't think the dead flowers represent all the other children. Notice how the pink/red haired girl has a necklace with the same Lumidouce Bell flower that the Mother was saying ahe should've pruned earlier. I don't think she was talking about Arle... I think she was talking about Arle's friend. That's why Arle went off when she saw the wilting flowers. Because it reminded her of her friend. In the same way the Bulle fruit is represents the blonde kid.
WAIT. I just realized, isn’t Arleccinos favorite food cake??? And in the animation the girl offered Arle cake 😭😭😭
Dottore is not present at the “welcome party” for arlecchino and we know that he was a harbinger before scaramouch (it was dottore that tricked him) so we can’t say how old arlecchino is based of the harbinger’s presence. Some might be occupied elsewhere
those flowers represent clervie, look at her necklace
Also I don’t think Arlecchino is going to have much of a relationship to Columbina.
The genshin characters are the opposite of the comedia characters in notable ways. Like Signora being ultra-loyal to her lover instead of being a cheater like in the comedia. Or Capitano actually being strong, instead of being a weakling who just boasts that he’s strong like in the comedia.
So she likely won’t have as much to do with Columbina as people like to assume. They may even hate each other. Though it’s a bit soon to theorize on that rn.
This reminded me a lot of the beautiful animation shorts Hoyoverse has been making for Honkai Star Rail. I really hope we get more shorts like these in the future to better flesh out the character's backstories or how they interact with one another (mainly thinking of that one Acheron and Black Swan short and how much that did to flesh out their characters and imply a relationship)
They cooked
A Michelin Star five course meal
Yesssssss❤❤❤
Saw your comment on GI official YT channel. So I was patiently waiting who among the lore creators will make video about the Arlecchino short film
Arlecchino is not 400 years old. Freminet was alive when the previous knave was alive. And Freminet is no older than like 16 or 18.
Also Scaramouche has been a part of the Fatui since a long time ago. That doesn’t mean he joined at the same time as Arlecchino. Nowhere is that implied.
Arlecchino was likely 16 or so during this cutscene and it’s been like another 10-15 years at most since this happened. So she’s 30 at most in the current story.
3:00 Is it possible that the House of the Hearth is some sort of replica of the orphanage in Perenheri? Maybe because the people of Fontane are inherently oceanids the Futui confused them as outlanders for having extra elemental energy
Edit - 5:30 Ah, so I wasn't alone in thinking so
12:12 I actually don't think it was the previous Knave that hurt her, she seemed to be rather unquestioning of her "Mother" and even understanding of the system of the Harth, it was Arlechino that hurt her in my opinion that hurt her in a fight she was forced to take part in by "Mother"
:O
Unrelated but in the preview for Remuria's puzzles one of the gifs showing the interaction with the dragon confirms that it Is Scylla so now I can't wait for your Zhongli video
Yep, to me this animation basically confirmed all my speculations:
1_Arlecchino is *not* a long life being like Signora/Pierro/etc. It's highly probably that she is between 30 to 40 years old *at most*, if not even younger.
2_The orphanage from where Arlecchino comes *is* from Fontaine, all those theories saying she was directly tied to Khaenriah never made any sense to begin with.
3_She is *not* a being like Caterpillar (Related to Hilichurls), the only logical relation between the two is that the black hands are due to over exposure to energy from the abyss (After all "Mother" clearly experimented with the children).
4_The orphanage that is the current House of the Hearth is probably the same place where the Narzissenkreuz Ordo did they cult like stuff, which would explain all the ties to Khaenriah in a logical way (Rene was obsesed with Khaenriah)
Basically, yes, this was peak cinema.
she is may-be a young long life being, of ~30 years old.
I noticed that the flowers the mother holds the girl with the pink hair was wearing on her necklace. That’s why arlecchino smiles when she sees the flowers at the end.
Is it just me who see random references to Made in Abyss?
Like... plush toys of Peruere and Clervie look similar to Nanachi and Mitty, and like in the manga one of them die so second can live. Peruere do a funeral at the beginning - something that Nanachi used to do a lot. Clervie have a necklace that look like a bell. Nanachi broke free from control of her "father" as well as is know to ber course of the abyss. Beyond that the entire orphanage thing also match
2:41 dottore as toy
:D
bro can probably cook up an hourlong video about the symbolism of some random dust on Arlecchino's sleeves
29:30
Arlecchino at least doesn't lie and she was one who said twins "Here betrayal isn't acceptable" or something like this. She doesn't lie, say all In face and doesn't give feeling of betrayal, what she had
in the form of Lumidus Bells pendant on a girl who was a friend Arlecchino
14:46
*cough cough* legend of saha *cough cough*
its interesting that the 2 "special" girls we focus on are wearing Bulle Fruit and Lumidouce Bell, Lumine is also wearing a flower, could this be a clue to Lumines origins?
Also when Arlecchino says "you must know spiders don't eat cake" is she implying that she is an actual spider?
Which lumine tho? The traveler or the abyss twin
I think when Mother says 'I should have pruned this flower long ago' about the dead Lumiduce Bells, those represent Arlecchino. Then when she's thrown against the wall and the dead flower is sitting there surrounded by beautiful, living flowers, that's the orphanage with her amongst the other children.
No it’s literally her friend . Her friend clervie had a pendant of those flowers and they remind her of clervie
It represents her friend more, the little girl has the Lumidouce Bell flower as a necklace. I think the kindness she speaks of is their friendship.
Very nice analysis. Thanks for pointing out the many details that I initially missed.
I hope we get more of these stunning animated backstories
the kid at the end is not freminet because he has green eyes and freminet's are blue
According to Genshin Wiki, Crucabena uses Hydro, so you were right the first time.
I think its sickening that the lumidouce Bell is Lynette's leveling material 💀
i noticed that immediately bro
lol
Knew you were cooking after that released great vid!
27:00 We know that Freminet has known the old knave so the time line extremely weird I feel
i wonder what was the point of making the children fight to death. if they all die and only the "king" remains who's going to become an agent later?
Dead seems to just be a suggestion for some beings in teyvat. Elynas being the specific example I was thinking of.
Good video! I watch every Genshin's video! Love them and you keep me company on my spare time!! thank you for this! 🥰
Although I need to point out that it's not possible the child at the end is Freminet. The eyes and the hair colour are different and what Pierro says at the end, those are the Tsaritsa's word: if you enable the captions in their video you can see the "... " meaning that he's reading those words. 🥰
There was a banner release who have her friend in it and possible the person the kids are hiding from her
Bro is the Necrit of Genshin
Omg I can hear it???
@@mndy129 OMG WTF I DO TOO NOW
HOW DID I UNSEE THIS 😭😭😭😭😭😭
The first scene really reminds me of rhinedottir and how shes described as 'a flower not from this world'
I looked up Peruer on google translate and it said it's latin for "to perish."
I can wait to see how the zhongli video finally ends up, its not like its been in the works for at least half a year? on another note since im so exited for arlecchino's release yall get to hear my ramblings
I think all the stuff going into arlecchino's release is hinting toward the tales of a snow winged goose being very important. We've already seen the fatui specifically hide history in stories in the wanderers story quest, and even in this animated short they are sharing ideologies through the media of fairytales. The tales of a show winged goose was espicially loved by freminet a kid from the house of the hearth and was even in the house under the old director(character stories 4 and 5). that book includes weird details with the sea of stars and creatures coming from the stars, as well as a story that seems weirdly similar to the traveler and paimon/abyss sibling and dainsleif. On that note i think the story of princess Marcotte is a summary of arlecchino's life, where the princess is the red haired girl and the king is the previous knave(I heard that in the original Chinese the red haired girl is the pervious knave's biological daughter but that could be wrong). This would make arlecchino the crab claw (this fits because the lore of the emperor of fie and iron has a similar story of becoming a "king" by killing all its adversaries) and while im not sure what the golden box or the mirror represent, i think the Pluie queen is the tsarista and her kingdom/ lake is the fatui. I also think it is very intentional how the princess is describe as a seed that will never grow, not unlike a kid that will never grow up due to their death. the end of the story also only describes a crab claw boat and not a princess sooooo she is very dead.
So TLDR i think this story is describing how the previous knave, upset that her daughter did not want to grow up like her and that the knave was trying to protect her innocence and kindness, set them up for failure by giving them an impossible task, which lead to the previous knave's death, and arleicchinos induction into the harbingers
i still dont know how all of it fits together because my brain likes finding concepts but not putting them together so if anyone has other ideas on these stories please share lol
The girl with the reddish hair (the one that said Arlecchino will be a great king and brought cake for the spider) wore those lumidiuse bell flowers as a necklace. So when the previous Knave said she should have gotten ridden of those flowers sooner she was rubbing salt in Arlecchino's wound after losing her friend.. Kind of makes you understand wjy she chose to be Father, when Mother was a complete monster!
Edit - also wanted to say I love your videos and analysis!!!!
The previous knave was recently killed that’s the only logical answer but then again this this Genshin
im also wondering if the black creeping up could be related to death since the first time we see it happening is with her spider and then again right before K-Oing the previous knave
Everytime I watch one of your videos i always have to think about if your mic is bad or my headphones are bad.
I don't think that's Freminet at the end especially since he was already part of the House of the Hearth before Peruere became the new Knave.
That child looks like the same one who died in today’s teaser. The same light green eyes.
lumidouce bell is representing the dead friend, the pink haired one, you can see her necklace
I am waiting for the future videos keep cooking
I saw it as the blue flames being souls that became the flower. wasn't there a story that talked about the kids from outside teyvat being seeds and were carried into teyvat on the claws of a crab?
Abt the lumidouce bells, in lyney story quest charlotte says they allude to "separations" as oposed to rainbow roses which represent "passion". The pink haired girl uses a lumidouce bell as a pendant, so maybe they represent her somehow? Or it was a form of foreshadowing for the moment arlecchino and her would confront one another. I belive that when "mother" says that she sould have pruned the flower long ago she must be refering to the pink haired girl. Personally i speculate that arlecchino and the girl were very good friends, and their friendship ruined "morther's" plan for arlecchino. On another note arlecchinos materials are rainbow roses, which charlotte uses as an oposite to lumidouce bells. Maybe there is some symbolism in there idk
If your baked potatoes look like Arle's eyes, you probably burnt it so bad it turned into charcoal. 🤣
sooo anyone else see similarities between Clervie and Columbina? The bows on the left hands, the hashes on the hem of Clervie's skirt matching with Columbina's blindfold. Not sure if just a coincidence, I also haven't finished the video, maybe its brought up
Itto was right. Arle does need therapy.
I know its a joke but therapy doesn't work unless you have nothing wrong with you in the first place.
@@Infelious good point. father mom is perfect
My jaw dropped when I saw the first knave 🤯
0:51 I know and I'm willing to listen 20 minutes about fire ✨
Btw, yes, primordial and seeles first thought
19:59 the flower has three stems but only two of them flowers, I think the one missing represents the blond girl with the orange/bulle fruit and and the other two are Arlecchino herself and possibly Arlecchino's dead friend/lover(?).
I haven't noticed anyone talk about it but as Arlecchino walks up the stairs it cuts to the kids bedroom with toys laying on the floor, a needle is right in front of the camera, its separate from the medical equipment thats in all other shots. 16:48 ish btw. I was wondering if said needle was actually used to make some of the kids fight such as the red haired girl? In the earlier part of the story with the book you see a half dead toy, could that be Dottore or is that a coincidence?
Red Haired girl looks a lot like she could be Mother’s real daughter, and has a necklace of the same flower she has in her pot
Peruere comes from Purero/perurere aka to burn up/consume
This remind me a welsh medieval legend about Ceridwen and his three childs (of the tale of taliesin),
Morfran with black skin called the black monster or crow, the most hatefil of his children
His sister Creirwy, the most beatiful of the 3 brothers.
And Gwion Bach or Taliesin, a the bard (and its said that this bard was part of King Arthur's table, so I'm very confused about Freminet's age)
Funnily enough, if you looked up Crucabena (the previous Knave's "name") before this trailer dropped, it would lead you to Ceridwen's Wikipedia article
The blue flower represents the necklace the red hair girl has for me, and not all the children.
Also Arlechinno can already wield pyro despite not having a vision, I guess it's her curser enabling this, but then what is it and where does she comes from (Teyvat even?)
Hmmmm wait a min. . .
Is the place Mother and Arle fighting the place where the Experimental Field Generator is right now??
So it was Arle that broke its roof. . . .
Then again maybe not kek
Have you noticed the flower on the necklace the little pink haired girl is wearing seems to be the same kind of flower that wilting when Mother and Arle are fighting?
Also, and I am unsure about this one, I thought somewhere in Freminets story it was mentioned that he witnessed the previous knave? Would that mean it is impossible that the litte boy in the end of the video is him and also that he is somehow incredibly old as well?
So the not a spider argument is more her boss form has 6 legs, and she has 4 of her own limbs, so 10, not 8. In reality, though, spiders have 8 legs and 2 pedipalps, used like arms to grab and hold their prey to bite them. So, she has 6 spider legs, 2 human (?) legs, and 2 arms which fits!
The kid in the end isn’t Freminet, the eyes are wrong color
I need to watch in other languages.
it supposed to be "do mother usually beat her daughter" not "arguing"
unless they're want to tone down the video.🤔
11:17 maybe the pink hair girl is the previous knave's doughter cause in Japanese arlecchino says do real mothers ...
Blue fire. Think about Gas.
if this is a kind of reveal to genshin "anime" many many years later, then they are in the right direction......😅 so good
10:33 FISH!!!
Yeah it probably doesn't mean anything.
Or does it?
6:59 or even her human legs could count to make the fourth pair.
Arlecchino used elemental powers herr without a vision or a delusion.
27:58 it's the cryo archon massge . Piero is not saying it so it's not his words
Any thoughts on Little Freminet’s eye color? Did getting his vision later lighten his eyes? 🤔
It's not Freminet at the end of the video. Freminet was given to the house by his mother under the previous director.
I'm thinking abt the the perenher book so that's why i thought thsy are outlanders
Bruh if Alice is related to the previous knave that would be great
Could arlecchino's curse be similar to furina's, in the sense that the curse grant the person great benefits with a equal penalty
11:07
Seems to me that her mother is abusing her, not that she's bloodletting.
Peruere's dialogue mixed with the lumidouce symbolism and the line Crucabena says while holding a wilted lumidouce flower later on seems to imply as much..
The original CN implies that Crucabena is Clervie's biological mother, so there's probably some weird extra layer of grooming/expectations that went on between them.
oop he mentioned it a minute later LOL
Pale flame artefact ?
7:45 you're just hungry
I don’t think the children are 100% human so giving them an age is difficult. They could be aging at a slower rate.
7:10 you wanted say 8 legs for spider or I didn't get it?
Where is dottore in the cutscene?
Did he skip the initiation and went screwing the irminsul tree????
the flower kind of looks like the necklace of the orange haired girl (idk if this is mentioned still watching)
Arlecchino in boss form has 8 legs because she has 6 on her back as well as 2 human legs.
No need to count the weapons.
No, it's her wings and her scythe. Her legs don't count because then you have to count her arms and it no longer makes sense.
@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks oh exactly
@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks Spiders have legs and "arms". The appendages by their head are called "pedipalp" it's what they use to touch and feel, so it really makes perfect sense to count her human legs because her arms are the pedipalp.
please, i want to hear about the blue fire for 20mins+ -)))
Arlecchino's timeline is weird. The units in 26:22 are old fossils to be sure... which supports Arlecchino being centuries old herself and having powers that can resist Irminsul tampering. But then what about the Inazuma fortune slip quest?
I thought the current Arlecchino identity is made by hoyo so that she wouldn't seem too pure of an evil character (wolf in sheeps clothing and/or questionable morals, sure but at least she wouldn't be evil for the sake of being evil)
My Theory is that more you are looking into ALICE powerful she becomes more people know her and she got more famous she will become also stronger
I think all the children are cursed in various ways there, and our current knave had Kahn’rehen blood which led to the hillichurl-like curse effects. Not to mention her kit leaks imply she basically hurts hurself and heals the damage, but only _she_ can do that. Only she can push back the effects of her curse? Only she can hold off hillichurlization…. _ooh the possibilities_
I think its more hydro than cryo
Nah man thats cryo
@@Sacration slowdown the video. Its more like rain swords like xingqui's. "Mother" used it to block arlechinno's pyro attacks. There's also a splashing sound when she summon her powers.
Her element is pyro but it looks like blood to me
Does she had her visions during fighting her mother or its that mysterious power ?
Its bloodfire and now its innate
I wonder if it is similar to collei where they use dead gods extract for power since we can see syringes in the video
