(April Fool's 2024) The Forgotten Element of Genshin (Genshin Impact Lore and Theory)

Everyone knows that the world of Teyvat is governed by the Seven Elements. However, there is potential for many more minor elements to exist throughout the world. In this video, I go over one of these minor elements and what we know about it.

Thank you so much for watching!

[@Rika_Weiss]

This is april fools prank n all but keep in mind Raiden uses Musou no Hitotachi and not Electro no hitotachi.

[@mrboatface4023]

this is genuinely the kind of prank zhongli would pull lmao

[@gustykraken]

A minute and 24 seconds in bro drops the genus name for bananas.

[@francoisnze-maure5084]

DUDE I KNEW IT, having Liyue adjacent people be named "Big Mike" and "Anthony" was too weird x)

[@readerofalltrades]

I was starting to think how the heck did I manage to miss these lore bits and voicelines. Then it hit me.

[@breadeater194]

Omg I didn’t even think twice about Big Mike because Liyue characters be named Little Liu and Childish Jiang and stuff 😭😭

[@shishirranjan2696]

You can't fool a medical student but I still watch your videos because I like em😊

[@Frazzled_Chameleon]

A banana is botanically classified as a berry. Missed opportunity to incorporate some berry lore in there. LOL

[@FrederickSkinner]

I kept thinking, I have read all the stories and listened to all the voice line and have all the new books and notes and NONE of that was in there... and then I realized what day it is...

[@caelus_]

oh my god you got me there 😂😂 i was so confused where you got all of these i was literally searching the wiki while watching 😭

[@koconnor117]

So.. no banana archon? 🥺

[@sinclaire5479]

Banana Archon lives on in our dreams

[@justincross2212]

I knew there was something amiss when I heard big Mike LMAO

[@Melotaku]

As a person named Anthony, I do in fact wield the power of banana.

[@RoryRose_]

None can contend with the supreme power of the almighty Anthrony and the Muso no Hitotachi!

[@jennycatmystique7139]

came to youtube to check out the april fools videos and was NOT dissappointed.
Gotta say tho- minor elements would be so fun. We already have characters like nilou that get a special reaction seperate from the normal elemental reaction set up... So imagining an entire mechanic that expanded upon this with characters that all have reactions that slightly deviate from the norm because they are minor elements... man that would be so fun to explore...

[@captaindanger13]

"big mike" 💀

[@kingalex105x7]

I love how much research you put into this for the joke

[@Sukiato]

I sit down, ready for another banger SiliconOneFour theory. And then I hear BIG MIKE. And then I remember what day it is.

[@kirittv]

I was just casually listening as i eat till i got to the part where you mention Zhongli has voicelines. Impossible that's my c6 baddie. I know everything about his voice lines 😂

[@Ren_rz]

You had me for a sec but then. I remembered today's date.

[@noyhyon]

"faked my death once, i'll do it again!" classic Morax.

[@DieselofAlrest]

They had us in the first half, not gonna lie. XD

[@robertmelconde8151]

april fools theory but interesting in the future lore/story/progress of genshin (the lost elements of teyvat is very interesting)

[@xenomaniagaming6461]

NOOooooo, I loved this idea so much! I wish we actually got sth like this in game

[@yaessa]

I played the video but went and did something and when my brain registered the words I went : what is this lore" and then you said Big Mike and I went "OH" 😂

[@EnchantingELK]

I was literally like 'how did i miss these notes?' whilst also like 'well i havent 100%'d Chenyu Vale yet so maybe i did' 💀 you got me LMAO

[@Kairi-ou]

It’s currently April 2 here so you got me good… and I thought I had everything in Chenyu done!! I was squinting so hard wondering where I missed a bunch of collectable notes lmaooo

[@Necrochaosium]

Great stuff for april 1st :) Keep in mind that dainsleif and the abyss sibling are wielding some sort of abyssal power that is definitely outside of the 7 teyvat elements. So we already have that to look forward to,. Likely we'll only see that when we visit khaenriah after schneznaya.

[@sortofthere]

plot twist: big mike is the founder of the abyss order

[@eli_s315]

I saw when this video was uploaded, but didn't watch it until now. You can't even imagine how confused I was to see a monkey in the thumbnail instead of the one I had seen before 😂 it would've been great to watch this on April 1st since I really love April Fool's jokes. I'm genuinely looking forward to the next one, if you ever make it!

[@Golden12500]

Anthony's trailer OST would just be Banana Man by Tally Hall

[@PakkaponPhongtawee]

At the first i think that you are talking about Dust (Guizhong) but turn out it was a BANANA.

[@Azzywrld224]

Okay you lowkey ate this one

[@Sayaahh]

You pulled this off so well or maybe I’m just gullible 😅😅 when you mentioned voicelines was when I started to doubt

[@mary_nyan]

Stuff like this is why i love april fools LMAO Great job!

[@Zongli116]

Even though he won't be playable it still would be cool if we meet anthony in the game or get more informations about him and the Muso element ❤

[@lilp5299]

Okay, so name "Mike" made me wonder if you got your regions mixed up after chasing the Easter bunny around, but I didn't suspect fake lore, until you told us. HAHAHA this was good!!

[@BoundlessChakra]

I love how Zhongli is "The Listener" in every video and he's also listening to this because as he said to traveller "he wants to record everything" and guys comeon,who better than the biggest prankster of Tevyat- "The one who took his own help to initiate his death and did all the rights of parting himself"

[@Konimisii]

I was so exited and invested

[@nabilanawrinnijhum]

RIP Big Mike

[@THEEN21]

I cant believe i got tricked up until the end,man!!!

[@stef__194]

pfff i actually believed u till that zhongli voiceline part

[@hypercube9531]

wait I've literally never heard of this at all omg

[@hypercube9531]

NOOOOOOOOO WTF

[@sinclaire5479]

Thanks man best thing to wake up to on April first made my day❤😂

[@xxmoonspellxx1801]

THE WAY I GOT 3 MINUTES INTO THE VIDEO WITHOUT REALIZING THE DATE.... 💀💀💀
I trusted u 😢
Edit: The most convincing part was even with the addition of muso, geo would still be potato ://

[@anteprs7908]

the sec i hear big mike i know

[@miathapapaya]

Ooo Im glad im up late!

[@KZ.0]

I was playing genshin while watching this...thank go.
I SO FELL FOR IT THO T-T

[@WhiteKoneko]

Somebody was monkying around eh eeh? ok I'll go poof for my bad pun.

[@despacitoking237]

😭 i fell for it, got me excited

[@bimbobomb]

Jokes aside, I would love to see new elements in Genshin. With the dichotomy of how Pneuma / Ousia work in game but like make it light / dark, celestia / abyss, imaginary / quantum

[@citoyenneteavanttout7273]

Seeing how the reaction system already is complete, and how the Abyss heralds and Childe's Foul Legacy is basically also elemental, I highly doubt there would be any new ''element'' so to speak in the game. That being said, they will for sure implement it as a mechanic similarly to how Pneuma/Ousia works.
Apart from these we can count Adeptal energy, the power of Khvarena as other variants of distinct power origins that exist in this game but do not interact with the elements (at least not in the same fashion the elements interact within themselves and with each other) One had been used to purify Abyssal corruption, the other we used to create our realm, move in the space, and gain power boosting abilities.

[@caparashon]

Missed chance to have Anthony's fake surname be Cavendish 😁

[@aayanchiron9770]

Tartglia the tortilla archon would love to be friends with big monkey

[@Relukki]

ohgosh... that's why i was so confused~😂 i just finished exploring chenyu vale and i was like ???😵‍💫 the entire video 🤣

[@perasquat7904]

I went so far into the video thinking it was legit

[@figaro5376]

can you actually do all the forgotten element ( s ) of genshin? like as soon as possible lol

[@teddyjohnmanale7506]

nice one!

[@JohnCivor]

Thank god there is still 1hr before it becomes April 2nd here.. if i watch it much more later maybe i fall for this prank 😂😂😂.. the give a way for me that this is a April fool's joke is the collectibles.. me thinking that "bruh i finished all that there is on chenyu vale what collectibles are you talking about?" Lol

[@MrDee001]

Shet. Got me. 😂

[@dina_solaire]

I wish Muso was real they could react to cryo anemo and geo 😂

[@albertoruizroman7750]

Wtf muso is the mushroom element xd imagine it is the parts of dendro that reacts to anemo o geo XD

[@KianahSaro]

How many takes did you have to do, to get through all of this without laughing? I need a blooper reel!

[@SiliconOneFour]

It actually didn't take too many! I was mostly laughing while writing it lmao

[@naphtaligarde1646]

Who the heck is Big Mike??

[@rcruzcarvalho]

😂😂😂 You got me!

[@Focalors_mainer]

Wait
What's Dainslief element?

[@SiliconOneFour]

Unknown at the moment, I do want to make a video about that though!

[@CrystalRubyMoon]

What do you mean we'll never meet Anthony? He's right there in Mondstadt XD

[@777dreamresort]

[@THET1RAMISU]

Is this supposed to be funny?

[@Bliss467]

No. It’s a prank. It’s funny for the prankster not the pranked. Unless you’re a jovial sort.

[@mikhail_fediukin]

Thank you so much for the vid! Never would have known unless you brought it up 🏔️

[@sortofthere]
