PHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
THE SPONSOR DIDNT KNEW WHAT MUJIN DID
Here we are again… I swear, Genshin has the most outlandish stories
Least you're not bored
And I didn’t think it’d get any crazier than them singlehandedly bringing down a google company/business(?).
And another one is coming
Tell a lie enough times and it becomes the truth, it's how our society works, unfortunately.
Idk why it hits different when this guy tells you about it
Impressive work how they managed to get out of that situation in a month. The 240 days Ayaka was really something all of us could not foresee. I remember praying so hard for the employees to not starved to death after seeing the news on Shanghai citizens didn’t receive any food. That was a terrifying lockdown even from outsiders perspective.
that is some kind of fake news.......don't trust every thing from western media especially about China.

Also remember that starting Patch 3.0 to 3.2 the version is shorten from 6 weeks to 5 weeks to compensate for the delay of 2.7 update and the schedule is back to normal in 3.3 version.
Edit: Also BP points 1000 --> 800 points
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, THE TRAUMA IS STILL THERE THOUGH 😭
And they did that only to have Scara drip marketing on Bohemian Rhapsody day (well, and Lantern Rite).
@@spieuer8942 that was also when the insane Scara hate happened right? Or am I remembering it wrong?
@unilastation2692 Nah. Well the Scara hate was always there. Maybe it did happen in China, but EN learned about it summer 2024, after Darshans tournament event and Scara rerun.
@@spieuer8942sir are you from the future?
I still remember the 240 days. I wasn't too aware of what madness was happening in Shanghai at the time, I just saw it as a tiny little oopsie that was going to be fixed in a few hours, and then I went to sleep.
Before this, I saw Ayaka as a sheltered but well-mannered girl who low-key has the hots for the traveler. Now imagine my surprise when I woke up and I saw dozens of yandere Ayaka fanarts out of seemingly nowhere overnight lmao
Yeah 😂... But you have to admit she have always had this yandere potential... Yanderes tend to be sophisticated young lady that's kind and supportive... She definitely fit the mold before this...
Just Ayaka.
XD
basically my experience too
Ah yes. The infamous eternal Ayaka banner. I was never there to witness it for myself. But thanks to Mujin, I can at least once again recall my time reading about it. But now, in video form. Thanks a lot Mujin.

I was there and it was funny asf 😂
@@yoriichitsugikuni3743 fr and I just pulled and pulled I have c3 ayaka now 😂 it was a great time for ayaka mains
@@oh-noe pfft I have c2 thanks to this
Just a note: right about when they had that delay, they released a new trailer for Ayaka which was probably their greatest promotional video to date, and it actually gave them a huge boost in sales.
Ayaka is just some kind of a scary entity in this fandom, she haunted us since the CBT, she is the mythical free 5* at AR42, she is the one to hold us hostage, she is the one who would probably commit acts of various crimes against other waifus in the teapot if given the chance.
I love her
What do you mean mythical? You guys didnt get free Ayaka at AR 42?
The power of her forehead is too much! AYAYA MUST BE STOPPED!
You guys didn't get your free Mew- I mean Ayaka- from under the truck?
And now Hoyo gave Ayaka a gun to get rid of all competition.
GENSHIN IS FOR THE M€NTALLY ILL, MY CHANNEL IS BETTER.
The eternal Ayaya banner was my peak. It was when I got the Queen herself. Ever since then, I poured my little f2p heart into her, with my garbage weapon, with all that time spent on artefacts, with my entire soul bleeding into her talents, and I can truly say - there’s not many f2p Ayaya’s like herself. No boss has survived the Queen.
I was thinking that timelength would help many F2P get her.
congrats on finally getting Ayaya for the teapot.
Same that was when I got her too (and C1 as well)
The Eternal Banner allowed me to get Mistsplitter because I never would have pulled on the weapons banner otherwise but it pushed it to my birthday and I was like "Why not I deserve a treat." Of course, the banner's birthday present for me was to give me two Unforged before it finally coughed up a Mistplitter but we got there in the end lol.
"No boss has survived the Queen"
Even the Cryocube in Dragonspine? You went for a melt/physical Ayaka by then?
My sibling lives in China. He was apart of the trapped in their apartments and his food was delivered to him while wearing hazmat suits. They would send me jokes of the updates of "this maybe my last entry". I remembered playing during patch. It was crazy.
it's always a good day when Mujin uploads. also, i refuse to call them "Hoyoverse". they will always be Mihoyo to me.
I still call them miHoYo too. Because tech otakus saves the world
I literally just call them Mihoyoverse. It’s longer and pretty stupid but I like it and I’ll keep using that.

@@VermyScrubs My-Hoyoverse? 😏
I remember seeing many worried comments about Genshin's future during that time, but when 2.7 update came out, people were blown away by the Archon Quest Interlude. I think that hype for the quest(and maybe Yelan) helped the game to swiftly get back on track after the delay.
The part when Itto literally punched a hole through the fabric of reality itself went hard ngl
@@savagebiker1879fr! Only good part of Inazuma Archon quest was the interlude
Chasm update is fucking insane and memorable honestly
I wanna see another video where it talks about Mihoyo's worst disaster for their game Honkai Impact 3rd.
The Bunny Girl Incident of 2021 where the CEOs literally almost get assassinated
Oh yeah, I wanna hear that story
@@ZoeCuiM
It's an event which well yeah It's basically a Global Only Event drops and well the CN community rebelled (because they didn't get the event) and so they had to stop the Event and like 2 days after the event was stopped, a guy with a knife literally goes into the Hoyoverse office and attempts to attack the CEOs probably.
they WHAT
@@jaredjosephsongheng372 Iirc it wasn't global only until someone in China complained about the outfits.
@@GhostEmblem
Really? I thought it was Global Only because the Chinese Government didn't like it
genshin was so popular that it made hoyoverse a huge amount of money, but apart from this, it also brought quite a bit of notoriety to hoyo:)
Or quite a bit large noreity to Hoyo. Genshin is the most successful and most controversial game of all time.
Anyone else still waiting for that free Ayaka at ar 42?
The copium and hopium intake of genshin players rose after they got Dr. Ratio'd
Mihoyo's fandom civil wars video when
I think it was ar 25
The timeline was corrected by the shortening of versions 3.0 to 3.4 by one week each.
GOOD POINT BUT THE TRAUMA IS STILL THERE
My experience was a little bit funny:
i started playing just the day AND some minutes before the infinite banner so when I unlocked the gacha the time was already super long and I didn't knew that the banners had less time until the next update 😅 I also got her in my first pull so I didn't knew about pity.
Since then I had a lot of luck so take some if you want 🤙
Mine when i was new i was pulling for standard banner because i want qiqi _i know_ and i pulled for ayaka because of this infinite 240 days banner
One thing you forgot was that during this time the teapot was broken and couldn't be edited for the entire patch. At that time there was supposed to be the spice event that let us feed characters to boost friendship xp but we couldn't switch out characters in the teapot and that event was delayed and replaced by liben and it them went into 2.7 when we were finally able to edit our teapot. On the bright side i was able to use all that friendship xp from food on my yelan
Oh god I remember that when 2.6 was stucked along with the teapot editing AND I FRICKING LEFT MY SHENHE IN AN ENTIRE EMPTY REALM LMAOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
this takes me back lmao, I remember staring at ayaka for so long in disbelief that she really started to morph into a yandere 😭
In other words. This is where Ayaka became the first Yandere of Genshin.
Dude that time in china was scary. I saw news of people getting their doors and gates welded shut, by the Chinese government, to keep them in. Props to hoyo for feeding taking care of their employees. I still remember the version update for HI3. The Devs were in their home doing the version update livestream.
@@AZee-cm8ciNever have I seen a 3 paragraph long CCP propaganda piece on an anime comment.
But here we are.
that is some kind of fake news.......don't trust every thing from western media especially about China.
@@luciousflorencio438 people is tired to repeate info to others, so normaly will have a file just save some passage for different situation
@@SunnySzetoSz2000 This is the first I heard about "extremist", and just flat out lie about celebrating Eid. What else the excuses/props they've been cooking up.
@@AZee-cm8ci Although I have little information about the "Uyghur genocide", it is true that medias, both Western and Eastern, are biased. They tend to, not lie, but show only part of the reality that suits their ideology.
I remember being so hyped for Yelan and saved Primos for her too. So when that happened I went crazy 💀
You forgot the most important part. The weekly Primo gifts for every player until the delay ended.
I started playing in 2.6 and thanks to these compensation primos I was able to get Yelan when she finally came out.
I actually got Ayaka on this same banner with a one pull. I didn't even realize about the time until after I got over the hype of getting her.
I have 3 accounts. the eternal banner gave me c2 c2 and c0 Ayaka lol
no i dont have a gambling problem why did you ask?
It’s a relief that banner didn’t last for 240 days, now I don’t feel so bad from not playing Genshin earlier so I could have gotten a C6 Ayaka 😅
Man even mihoyo cares about their staff and not being trapped and work to death like mappa
In one of my old high schools, we had a Chinese student. I felt a bit worried for him because he struggled with English so much and had to miss end-of-year exams because they were all in English. Topping it off, he went back to China to visit family and ended up stuck there during the lockdown. To this day, I’ve been told he isn’t back.
The fact I'm a new Genshin player and the NEXT BANNER IS HER (plus Navia) scares me A LOT
her first rerun after that banner was in 3.5 and it didnt last an eternity thank god, so we might be safe
@@bbysiea but still, even her rerun in 3.5 was a very unexpected one (probs the first time leakers were wrong about the banner) bcs everyone was expecting Eula (considering Mika got released)
china is getting a resurgence of mysterious pneumonia outbreak around this time, so yeah
This happened when I was new. I wasn't upset. To me, the delay meant time to catch up and save primos.
having this happen during the chasm release patch was lowkey a blessing for me, had more time to explore and do the quests there
they (Hoyo) actually still made a lot of money during that time though. The "eternal" Ayaka banner back then surpassed the first Raiden Shogun banner as the highest banner sales at the time, and the 1st Shogun banner was their peak back then.
later Nahida and Shogun reruns took turns to be best selling banners, and the highest currently is the Hutao & Yelan rerun on Lunar New Year this year
imagine they really were held hostage for the whole 240 days that were suggested
We'd still be in Sumeru now
One thing to keep in mind just to add to the end, that by the beginning of sumeru the first 3-4 patches i believe were shortened by a week each to make genshin's storyline realign with it's planned timeline. An amazing video nonetheless and one that brought a lot of unexpected menories and funny memes from the community 😂🎉
It’s honestly felt like so long since Ayaka and the eternal banner and I remember experiencing it like ages ago. But now realizing that it was about 1.5 years ago makes it feel like a really historical Genshin event for videos like this to document this truly unprecedented Genshin era.
honestly idk how i managed to not know the situation at all, i just assumed the 240 days thing was a bug (esp since i don’t keep track of the update schedule) this makes way more sense
Lets be honest the only reason Genshin impact makes that much is because they make you pity every character, make you buy Primos just to get a character, and make primos expensive AF.
2.7 suffered by having its "event" be pasted over an archon quest interlude. It ironically made it one of the most memorable events.
2.8 was the golden archipelago remix event. Most likely, they decided to reuse the map because of these lockdowns, and despite that, it also managed to be the best of the three summer events by far.
The beginning of the "Ayaka Yandere" meme, one of the pillars of the Genshin community
Congrats on hitting 100k mujin!
Havent watched it yet but by the title and the fact that its a Mujin video...i can tell this is gonna be a good one. 😂😂😂😂
I was apart of that dreadful 240 day banner.. I’m jealous of all the peeps that never witnessed it because it was mortifying.
And because of this from 3.0 until I think 3.3 the length of each patch become 5 weeks instead of the usual 6 weeks
Mujin coming in with another banger. I wasn’t playing Genshin at release, I was actually working as my job was deemed necessary and I didn’t have to work from home so I heard about this and I gotta say, it was hilarious
i literally remember that time where ayaka took over the genshin world 😭😭
but it becomes better
Ayaka is the true eternity archon literally hijacked the banners I fucking love her😂
My friend was happy of this delay. Actually got C4 Ayaka 😀
God, I will never forget this event.
I got c2 Ayaka in that banner. Could have gone c3 but I lost to, you know it, Qiqi.
A yes, "I got a Qiqi" 😂@@Kastor774
I had C2 from her first banner and got C4 from this banner
Definitely aiming for C6 in her upcoming banner
Mujins bedtime stories on Genshin and it's crazy things are the best
I love your vids man! I recommend you to cover the Yae Miko “de-buff” controversy as well 😂
I guess genshin IMPACT really is an IMPACT
When that entire thing happened, I ended up Rolling for Ayaka even though i wasn't planning to for years
at 1:15
for anyone who doesnt know why he said wassup beijing he actually said "I'm at beijing" (wo zai bei jing) as a chinese speaker i actually didnt understand the meme until ppl put words on it 😭
Dude I love your voice and your way of telling stories! I am in love.
Always exciting to see a new Mujin video❤
WHY 😂 LOVE YOU MUJIN 0:27
That month helped me catch up on a lot of exploration and quests.
Anyone notice genshin impact company name change more like taken over by the CCP its no longer Mihoyo or hoyoverse but cognosphere
I joined the game only a patch before it and oh boy. I lost 50/50 on Ayato and pulled Ayaka. If Iknew that she would've stayed there for so long I would've pulled on the weapon banner because now I want to Mistplitter for my Kaeya.
I mean, you can get it soon.
@@belphy205 yup, gonna try and get it this version.
@@alias_undercover Good Luck.
I JOINED AT THE END OF AYAYA'S 240D BANNER 😭
i love your videos so much! always so entertaining and i learn cool stories and facts about my favourite game 🥰
Another exciting video from Mujin! 🩵🔥
Day 21 thanking Mujin for making my day
I wish they would do the same to every banner that was, so that people could choose who to pull and not worry about time but that's just dream COPIUM
Ladies and Gentlemen, Ayaka the game's most beloved is here in the wish banner for 240 days. That's right this is a banner of a Yandere that you see in the game. So C'mon pull for her because its gone and that's the opportunity all of you no us don't want to miss.
amazing video 20/10
It's only almost a year since I played Genshin. I've heard stories (memes) like this but it's interesting and funny to know the full story. (I mean not really funny for the employees but the memes bro! XD) Hope you make more videos like this for us newbies to know the history of this anime gacha game lmao!
Honestly it's disgusting how many players who didn't have a single shred of sympathy for the victims of the chinese lockdown. I would gladly watch genshin impact shut down for a whole year if it meant the victims could seek safety. The fact that players were complaining only about a version lasting longer than usual genuinely frightens me
A guy came into a shop and shot a worker because he was asked to put on a mask in store
@@AlexPerez-tt9ru bro wtf
🙄😒
Raiden Shogun: Would you be finitude?
Kamisato Ayaka: Nah, I'd be eternity.
I started genshin in 2.0 and i expierenced most of the things you talked about in these kind of videos and it makes me so nostalgic omg the funniest thing was that i started at end first ayaka banner and she became my fav character so i had to wait 6 patches for her return. So i got her with full excitement and then to see this play out was so funny.
I started playing on the infamous eternal ayaka banner. I was glad that I started there cause I was able to get Ayaka and mistsplitter, which I really wanted that time. Ayaka carried me from early game to AR 55.
2 posts? IN ONE WEEK?
we are blessed thank you Mujin-sama
I remember being so mad because it would delay how soon we would get Scara as a character, but then I went to acceptance as I realized I could have time to save up for him. I now have him and havent looked back since
i remember when this happened 😭 i was so excited to pull for klee (who’s banner was next after yelan’s and itto’s) but when i saw THAT i almost went completely insane
At least the memes are absolutely hysterical. Like holy shit that 240 days must’ve been *jarring* to see
Nice video, Mujin cooked again, wish I was in Ayaka's dungeon for 240 days
i was there during 2.6, iridori was so fun but it gets overlooked by the entirety banner all the time
OMG 2 MUJIN VIDS?!?! THIS TO CURE MY HEARTBREAK LETS GOOOO
I remember not logging in for like more than a month and not interacting with the fandom for that time, my reaction and confusion when I saw the ayaka banner was undescribable
Now this is what i call a Tale, these irl stories be hitting harder then world quests of teyvat.
That is absolutely crazy. Glad to see the company put the supply of food and water for their worker before the game though.
My family lives in Shanghai and oh boy I can tell you the place was a mess, minimal food was provided and the food that WAS provided, like half of it was non-edible and had gone bad. Good thing its over now though
If I remember correctly that was also the time where the teapot was completely frozen and no one could place furniture. We also got some furniture in events so there were a lot of memes with traveller carrying around a lot of stuff.
I heard about the long banner but my friends didn’t tell me why, I don’t know if they knew either. Thanks for the clarification sir. I had no idea it was because of lockdown. Glad Mihoyo took care of their employees :)
5:59 I remember that meme when I was new player that was so funny I cant 👀
The problem with the delivering of food in Shanghai was another problem with "Hukou" (which is the citizen's living place registration). Basically the Shanghai government just checked the Hukou registration of the city and made a rough estimation of how much surplus of food they needed to actually suffice the citizen needs.
Guess what, the Illegal and unregistered number of people that travelled to Shanghai was kinda miscalculated, so some people didn't get their food in time.
The central government (or what you would colloquially call the CCP) actually reprimanded this misscalculation and kicked a lot of incompetent staff from the local Shanghai government for this.
Also, remember that a few loud negative voices are always louder than the positive ones; that's how internet works and at the end of the day nobody "starved to death" cmon.
And that's how babygirl Ayaya became Monika levels of yandere.
Doki Doki Genshin Club became real.
I still remember in the 2.6 update, they restricted the teapot for some updates (I have no idea what those updates were) and would give teapot currency every week in the 2.6 update. And when the 2.7 update got delayed, since Genshin was like frozen as you said, the teapot was restricted for another 1 month, and while people were getting more teapot currency (I think I got a total of 27k teapot currency), the teapot mains (i was a teapot main during that time) were going crazy. And when 2.7 arrived and the teapot was finally open, it felt very satisfying to finally be able to log in (and they didn't even fix the load which was the biggest issue of the teapot)
I had one of my normal burnouts around 2.6-3.2 but i kept up wuth genshin and boy i was shocked. Not only did the 240 ayaka banner dhock me but when i learned sumeru was only getting 15 day banners i had ptsd flashbacks to 1.3
I personally remembered this because the extended banner is the only reason I got mistsplitter after 3 unforges (I forgot to set path)
lol mujin always delivers with these man playing revelations tooo
Well, managed to finish up all my quests on that 1 month and save up lots for Klee in 2.8 so for me, it was pretty satisfying finishing the events and all my quests 😂😂😂
I read 240 and immediately knew which banner you were referring to
7:50 - I believe they fixed that month-long delay with some shorter banners following version 2.6. I think a few patches had 14-16 day banners to catch up to the original plan.
The thumbnail is pure art ✨
banger video, joining the discord asap
Its still really funny how what was most likely an integer overflow on the banner timer since it probably wasn’t a signed integer caused so much freakout!
i remember this like it was yesterday
i joined genshin around this time and was suprised to see the 240 days remaining..i wasn't used to playing games that updated so quick and just thought it was normal.Didn't know there was such a big thing going behind it
I got a genshin ad before this
I swear to god i was just searching for this literally 2 days ago. Because i started genshin when this banner was like about to end
And mujin here suddenly talks about it
i still remember that day and i lost my mind
in 2022 i remember a bunch of people in my compound asking around for food... crazy year 💀
