"The Fall of the Balladeer" | Full Cutscene - Genshin Impact

The voice actor of Scaramouche never fails :< he sounded so sad when the gnosis was being taken right before his eyes

It didn’t feel like a victory when we beat him. It felt like I was stealing his entire purpose and life’s work from him in an instant.

I just don't know why having the gnosis taken away from him was really sad, the fact that he wanted not for the sense of power (maybe a little) but because without it he lost a sense of purpose, like an ambition

I like how literally everyone in sumeru told paimon to shut it, even scaramouche LMAO

That last breath right before he falls and the light fading from his eyes... i can't believe we just left him there.. 😭💔

"I can't lose everything, not again" would be such a good line for him

When Nahida used her dendro powers to take the electro gnosis, you could say that the Balladeer was pretty…… aggravated 😂

Let's be honest: Scara steales our attention in that scene

He was created for that, he wanted to reach he’s purpose. That was the only important thing for him, reach the objective he was created for 😞 then he felt like a failure again…

He truly only wanted a purpose for his life, he felt betrayed after being thrown aside by his mother, he felt empty not being able to complete the purpose he was created for, it’s such a human ambition…his eyes and voice everything as Nahida was taking the gnosis away…it was all so “human” so heartbreaking…I hope he gets a resolution with Ei

Unlike the other final bosses of the nations, this one didn't give that same sweetness of the victory. It instead felt like we were just stomping him into the ground, without knowing of his past. I couldn't help but feel so sad for him after he fell to the ground.

Yes, 9:40 is extremely hurtful, but it was 9:46 image that truly pierced my heart. The image of desperation. Look how ungraceful he looks, so animalistic, so *mortal*. His scrambling forward and breaking the glass of divinity showed his true nature - that of not a god. Desperation is a very hard emotion to observe nonchalantly for many. Because it is distress and, typically, end of someone’s life/ rope. (Ha. Ironic, his ropes actually snapped)

"Reality...is pain!" - he is SOOOOOOO right about that tho... So basicly, Nahida literaly just put Scaramouche into the Matrix, didnt she?

i know hes a villain, but his backstory is probably one of the most tragic ones. this scene made me cry so badly

The way that the glow in his eyes just go when he fall..

as sad as this is, it's pretty interesting to think about his defeat is a parellel to ei's. when you fought her, you needed to use the collective ambitions of the nation's vision bearers against a god's eternal ambition. in this fight, you had to use the collective wisdom of a nation in order to defeat the everlasting lord of arcane wisdom it's interesting to think how scaramouche, the supposed new god of wisdom, was defeated by the very thing he was meant to represent. it mirrors ei's own defeat in using the people's wills to shake her own imo. like mother, like son also i want to get stepped on by both of them so theres that too

I FELT SO BAD FOR HIMMM even tho i know its right scara is one of my favorite characters and he looked genuinely pained, his voice actor is so amazing too

I’m not the only one who got CHILLS from this scene- right? And cried?

Sumeru's storyline is just chills

I love how the cutscene was done almost as if Scara's the main character in it. WE have won, but the music is sad. Because for Scara this is a sad event. Also, the music is a remixed version of the music in "The Divine Will", further pushing the emphasis on Scaramouche. The cutscene is playing his theme, and not the Balladeer's theme, HIS theme, whatever his original name was (it's not Kunikuzushi btw). The cutscene isn't meant to be triumphant or epic like how Signora's was. It's supposed to make you feel bad for him, and for you to know you should do this but to hate you're doing it too.
