Capitano is very likely the First of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, and he seems to be the strongest Harbinger of them all. In this video, I decided to go over what we know about him, as well as speculate on his role in the future stories of the game.

    Seriously, this guy is being hyped so much that when he finally appears it will be like when Madara finally appeared in person in Naruto
  • @karmaselim9319
    Capitano being the bloodstained night is probably my favorite Capitano theory
  • @apaws2
    He is honestly the coolest Harbringer for me. I’m just praying he keeps his mask and shadowy face in his playable form
  • @aeso3555
    CHADHIMTANO, CAPEAKTANO, GOATHIMTANO, the Strongest, no 1 Harbinger, the glorious blue eyed king, the Gigachad of Teyvat. HIM.
  • Capitano as a playable character would definitely have no element, and uses physical as the main damage, given the lore mention that he has incredible brute strength.
  • @dplayer2693
    I'm excited to not only meet the captain but also varka, a man who's not afraid of the captain but rather wants to duel him, described as the titan of the knights of favonius, even childe wants to fight varka, eula couldn't even get him to stop holding back in their duels. I'm really hoping we get to see him soon. Along with the captain.
  • @p.b.and.jay13
    I can’t wait to meet Capitano! He seems like he’s going to be another harbinger like Arlecchino, who isn’t necessarily against the traveler and doesn’t see a reason to fight them until he has to. Maybe he doesn’t help the Traveler like Arlecchino does in some instances but he at least thinks they have the same goal and/or he doesn’t see them as a threat to his goal
  • @leongwaikit6658
    As you enter to nation of Natlan, there you see Capitano defeating the Pyro archon and now you have face him.😂😂😂
  • @BrotherGodhand
    Capitano being the Bloodstained Knight works from another thematic perspective, too. Ages ago Vennessa and her people fled the constant war of Natlan to Mondstadt, where they were enslaved by the Tyrannical noble government. Vennessa would later co-lead the rebellion that overthrew the nobility and established the modern freedom-loving state of Mondstadt, becoming deified as the West Wind Favonius and founding the Knights of Favonius to continue those ideals. Il Capitano, as the Bloodstained Knight and thus a Knight of Favonius, would thus, bearing the legacy of Vennessa, return to Natlan and end the ceaseless war that forced her and her people to flee in the first place.

    If we train with Capitano I faint

    Boy oh boy where do I even begin. Capitano, first of the Fatui Harbingers... honey, my pookie bear. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you take command of the battle and strike fear into your enemies eyes. Your silky smooth touch around your sword, and that gorgeous boss fight animation. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so I would never have to watch the hoyoverse writers butcher your story. You had a rough childhood, but you never gave up hope. You are even amazing off the battlefield, you're a great husband and father, sometimes I even call you dad. I forvever dread and weep, thinking of the day you will one day retire. I would sacrifice my own life it were the only thing that could put a smile on your beautiful face. You have given me so much joy, and heartbreak over the years. I remember when you first left snezhnaya and it’s like my heart got broken into a million pieces. But a tear still fell from my right eye when I watched you win your first battle in Natlan, because deep down, my glorious king deserved it. I just wanted you to return home. Then allas, you did, my sweet baby boy came home and I rejoiced. 2023 was a hard year for us baby, but in 2024 you made history happen. You came back from two years of being irrelevant to the story and I couldn't believe it. I was crying, bawling even, and I heard my glorious king exclaim these words, "Snezhnaya, THIS IS FOR YOU!" Not only have you changed the game of Genshin Impact and the world forever, but you've eternally changed my world. And now you're not the main Fatui of the story anymore, but still the goat, my goat. I love you pookie bear, my glorious king, Capitano.
  • @lugchug8304
    I wonder how the big climax will happen in Naltan. I think the idea that people have of Capitano killing the Pyro archon is insane, mostly because she would f*cking explode and melt the entire reigon which would kill everything..
  • @itav5523
    Waiting for a small Natlan teaser in the livestream tomorrow. Natlan is getting close.
  • The EN downplays him by a lot, in the cn he’s called the absolute apex/pinnacle of strength and power, leaks also stated he’s the strongest single individual in tevyat. In the CN nahida states demon gods which means archons, meaning capitano will more than likely be even a harder enemy than raiden, I think he will just challenge the pyro archon for the gnosis directly. If he is the blood stained knight, he could had gained immense power through the amount beings he slaughtered, and the theorized abyssal power.
  • @Zeke1460
    If he has abyssal power, then that could explain the dark blue eyes. Dain’s abyssal power is also dark blue.
