TUONTO REACTS TO ARLECCHINO ANIMATION

i don't normally talk about these things, but lately i have been more invested in the story and it has been excited so i wanted to share it with you guys! the shorts made for other characters and fatui are only 2.5D in genshin. this animation is full fledged cool other speculations/corrections from others: docs.google.com/document/d/1mOLi1Hy0gaqyLZ6J_YRZPc… follow for updates: twitter.com/tuont0 streams: twitch.tv/tuonto join the comunity! discord.gg/tuonto

The way I understood Arlecchino taking on the title "Father" instead of "Mother" is because the previous Knave "Mother" cared for the children on the surface, but was actually really messed up and cruel to them in reality. Whilst Arlecchino is the opposite, she appears strict and uncaring but secretly does care for the children of the house.

Apparently its more apparent in the CN/JP vers but Clervie is the biological daughter of the late Mother and I think its implied that she was getting beat by her (ai. the bandage scene), probably because she was seen as too weak to be the next "King" or successor. When Mother was talking about pruning the flower she was prob talking about Clervie

One easily missable detail is that Arlecchino still has a sword in her hand when Clervie drops to the ground with the sword stuck in her body. She didn't get stabbed by Arlecchino, she stabbed herself.

Chat was spamming freminet but the kid had yellow eyes and freminet’s are blue.

I dont know why noone is mentioning this, but I always thought that you could see the Surprise in Arlechinno's eyes when her best friend is stabbed. I think she refused to kill her friend so she instead did the trope where she jumped into Arle's sword and that's why she said sorry and "youll be a great King"

Interesting Detail :- Did anyone notice how her arms slowly develop the curse and turned dark as the short progress and eventually peaked during the end of the fight against the previous harbinger?

A few things I've noticed after rewatching a few times: - Clervie is denoted by a Lumidouce Bell, which we see on her necklace as a child. Later, "Mother" is holding a wilted Lumidouce Bell, remarking how "grotesque" it is and how she should have pruned it sooner. When asked if she agrees, Peruere flies into a rage. "Mother" basically said "My own biological daughter was too weak to be the 'King' and I find that disgusting." - Furthermore, the fight turns in Peruere's favor when she glances down at a Lumidouce Bell, still planted in the ground. After this moment, she adopts a completely different approach, countering all of Mother's attacks effortlessly before abruptly kicking her straight into the ceiling and effectively nuking the whole building as it falls around her. - The shot at 3:28 includes a sword sticking out of the ground with a Bulle Fruit on its hilt, possibly a memorial to the girl whose motif in the opening scene was the same. - I think Clervie took her own life rather than fight Peruere but it's hard to tell because of the framing. (My reasoning: The time jump shows Peruere looking shocked. When it is revealed Clervie is run through with a blade, we cannot see her arms at all which could indicate they are in front of her, holding the hilt of the sword. The blade that pierced her is covered with blood. Clervie falls, with Peruere seemingly not moving at all or removing the sword from the body. The next shot shows Peruere's reflection, still holding a clean sword in her right hand. Also, Clervie's last words are "I'm sorry...thank you" which are vague but could be interpreted as "I'm sorry [that it has to end this way]...thank you [for being my friend, and not stopping me]". But I can also see the argument she may have meant "I'm sorry [that it has to end this way]...thank you [for being the one to end me]", so that's more speculation on my part.) - "Mother" raised the children to fight each other so the strongest could be "King", but Peruere's title as the new Harbinger is nearly the opposite, a lowly "Knave".

9:22 The entire reason she chose father as the title was to avoid remembering the trauma of what happened to her in her childhood with "mother", not to continue the legacy. while mother pretended to care while being abusive, father doesnt hide her intensions and wants to be transparent with what she will do as seen at the very end of the trailer. oh yeah i just saw u speculated the same thing in the docs in the pinned comment cool!

i hope chat realizes that is NOT freminet at the end lol. he was already an orphan at the hearth under the previous director before arlecchino's succession. it's one of the most important pieces of information we know about freminet's backstory. also arlecchino's real name is VERY similar to the latin word "peruro/peruere" meaning "to burn up/consume" which i think you should add to the doc instead of the tweet you referenced, or at least alongside it!

also on the trailer for 4.6 arlecchino was fighting freminet lyney and lynette which i think goes back to her carrying on the 'legacy'

Seeing a full 7 minute animation like this makes me extremely excited for the anime!! I just hope that we get a anime teaser before Natlan :]

I hope they make more shorts like this! Even if they're only for the 5 stars, ngl I like the short teasers for characters but this animated format gives them more depth and story I'm also glad the first one we got is for Arlechinno! It gives her more story, instead of people seeing only one side of her, we see how she got to be how she is now

The scythe is unbelievable tho

I am hoping Hoyoverse are able to keep doing animations for Genshin like they did with HSR

3:22 Jake, don't be quiet. We want to see your impressions and your reaction🤍

So the reason why Arlecchino's title is "Father" because she doesnt have a good "Mother" figure from the previous knave who is caring on the outside, but in actuality is pretty ruthless and abusive inside. So when Arlecchino took the throne of the House of the Hearth, she changed her ways of being cold and stern as a "Father" but still cares for her children

Super excited for the anime if its going to look like this

It seems like the person that Freminet is "hiding" as mentioned in the 4.6 trailer could be Clervie. There's also a theory that the House of the Hearth used to be an orphanage for descenders and/or outlanders before Arlecchino made it into an actual orphanage as well as a mini-task force. This fact could explain why Clervie is involved in 4.6 considering Lyney, Lynette and Freminet seem to be able to see and help her. The animation also explains why Arlecchino refers to someone she wants to be the next 'King' of the House, turns out it was a tradition from the beginning. The orphanage-is-a-home-for-outlanders/descenders theory is something I'm unsure of, as I've only heard it circling around, but it COULD explain Clervie's existence in the 4.6 quest and Arlecchino's glitches (though, that could be from her curse).

After rewatching a couple times one thing I noticed about the music is that the children’s choir only comes in after Arlecchino “locks in” aka fighting at her full power. I feel like it represents that she’s fighting for all the children.
