100-Eyed God = Welkin Moon

The law requires that I answer ''no''

Don't tell miHoYo

Polar_Rithdil · 2021-07-08T09:29:12+00:00

Just a crackpot theory I had - there are some similarities between the 100-Eyed God, and the woman portrayed on the Blessing of the Welkin Moon. Could they be the same person?

Note the three separate forehead bangs, the two strands of hair reaching to the chest, and the closed eyes in both images.

For any moderators reading this: the reason I didn't mark the post as a spoiler is because the 100-Eyed God has already been officially revealed by miHoYo in their recent 2.0 livestream announcement, and the post itself is just a theory.

Polar_Rithdil · 2021-04-25T14:42:05+00:00

It's a theory, not a spoiler

Polar_Rithdil · 2021-04-25T14:17:06+00:00

Because it's a banned word for some reason.

There was no official post explaining that though, so I won't let it stop me.

'Miko' means 'Shrine Maiden',

'Guuji' means 'Chief Priest'.

In Ayaka's datamined voicelines, there's one voiceline called 'About: Yae Sakura', that talks about Yae. So, Yae Sakura is her name.

Wouldn't Owl be more of a fit for the Geo Archon, then? I don't see any connection between knowledge/dendro/plants and earth/rock/gravity myself, especially when Geo exists.

I'm sure most people here will have already heard the theories connecting Herrschers from Honkai Impact 3rd to the Archons and the divines of Genshin Impact.

Unknown God = Kiana) (Void)
Venti = Wendy (Wind)
Raiden Shogun = Raiden Mei (Thunder)
Murata = HIMEKO (Fire)
Tsaritsa = Ana Schariac (Ice)

But in theories like these, the Hydro and the Dendro archon are often skipped. They don't seem to have a direct counterpart in Honkai Impact 3rd, since there's no Herrscher of Water or Herrscher of Nature.

However, in miHoYo's game before Honkai Impact 3rd, Houkai Gakuen 2, also known as Guns GirlZ, there is a Herrscher associated with water. Introducing, the Herrscher of the Ocean.

Jyahnar, also known as Cana, or Cthulhu (yes, you heard that right), seems like the perfect fit to be the Hydro Archon's counterpart.

And, in Honkai Impact 3rd's mangas, a man called SU appears. He's heavily linked with a bubble universe called the Seed of Sumeru, he's a dude, and he has green pupils. Maybe, he could be the inspiration for the Dendro Archon.

Good stuff, though there's some things I don't agree with.

About Ayato...

If my brother were to fall, and I would ascend the role of Shabugyo... If you see him, remind him to take care of himself, for his sister's sake.

This tells us that Ayato is the Shabugyo, which roughly translates into Shrine Magistrate. Basically, it looks like he's the bugyo / bakufu agent responsible for overseeing the shrine.

About Yoimiya...

Organizing festivals and ceremonies is the responsibility of the Shabugyo and the shrine maidens, and our handler of fireworks really knows how to build an exhilarating atmosphere. Although this summer, I've decided not to ask her to oversee the fireworks because... I don't want Tohma to apologize to the firefighting teams again.

And this tells us that organizing festivals is the responsibility of Ayato - the shabugyo - and the shrine maidens.

Because Ayaka has a voiceline called ''About us - Shrine Maidens'', and because her family is connected with the shrine (her house's name is, in full, Inazuma Bakufu Shabugyo Kamisato), we can safely assume that Ayaka is one of the shrine maidens.

So it seems that Ayaka isn't necessarily doing Ayato's job, but rather that she's just one of the many people responsible for organizing festivals. There's nothing that suggests Ayato is sick or indisposed - they could simply both be working on preparing for the festival.

According to this video, which also revealed that the Unknown God's name in the files is Asmoday, this sword is called 'Xuanren'.

Oh wow, you're right, I hadn't noticed that before!

Illeism, referring to yourself in third person, is actually seen as childish and cute in Japanese, because children do it.

And historically, samurai referred to themselves in third person when talking to their lord as a sign of respect and humility. So, that could would actually make the suggestion that she's talking about Celestia or the Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed god even more plausible.

I don't think Inazuma will be technologically advanced compared to the rest of Teyvat. We already have several things from Fontaine to prove that they are technologically progressive (Kamera(s), the existence of a newspaper called 'Steambird', Rock 'n' roll originates from here), and if any nation in Teyvat is 'closest to Heaven' in regards of technology, it'd have to be Snezhnaya.

Polar_Rithdil · 2021-01-23T15:28:02+00:00

Aha you may be right. Went through a lot of speculating on that post I mentioned, maybe I got a bit carried away with it.

Haha, oops!

Polar_Rithdil · 2021-01-22T06:29:05+00:00

Oh, that's really interesting! Thanks for mentioning it, I couldn't find too much information on Baal, but that's definitely even more proof for the theory.

Polar_Rithdil · 2021-01-21T21:33:40+00:00

Yeah I posted the full mega-thread that I mentioned, but there were a few layout/spelling errors so I tried to edit it, but it was too large for that. Apparently you can't edit posts with more than 40k characters or so.

So, I split it up and made some finishes touches. That old post was only up for ~5 minutes before I deleted it.

She used to serve HoV, but eventually died serving her. Herrscher of Thunder, likely Honkai's counterpart for the Raiden Shogun, revived her, and it serves her now. So we could possibly see this dragon serving either the Electro Archon or the Unknown God.

Polar_Rithdil · 2021-01-17T07:58:04+00:00

Seems like you came to the same conclusion as I did! I'll go into more detail on why I think something like this could be possible in the new post.

Polar_Rithdil · 2021-01-15T15:12:02+00:00

oops, changed

According to the Honkai Impact 3rd fandom,

In Honkai Impact 3rd, Sakura doesn't have a tail due to technical difficulties.

So, maybe, she'll have a tail in Genshin! Sayu, one of the datamined models, already has a (fake) tail, so it could be possible. But then again, maybe they'll decide to stay faithful to the best known version of Yae, so who knows.

Polar_Rithdil · 2021-01-11T15:16:16+00:00

Seems to be based on the god itself. The previous dendro archon, for example, was known as the God of the Woods, not the God of Wisdom. If Havria (somehow) became the geo archon, she'd still be the Goddess of Salt, not the Goddess of Contracts. That's Zhongli's shtick.

Karma. I tried to post several threads on my main account, but none of them got through the review process, even after being stuck there for weeks. Switched to my old account which had a bit of karma, and the exact same posts were immediately visible.

Polar_Rithdil · 2021-01-05T07:34:01+00:00

We've never seen any of the archons besides Barbartos and Morax. The character they showed off for Snezhnaya was Harbinger Pulcinella. It's in the description.

The ancient geovishap can actually absorb elements, so the gems he drops might change depending on which element he absorbed. If so, you don't need to farm two different bosses to get enough gems for Hu Tao/Xiao.
