- [AQ SPOILERS] Oh boy, I just finished the latest AQ
Archon Quest Spoilers
Sometimes I forget what happened in previous archon quests (and the story in general). I'm happy I remember Caribert from the cloth tied to his arm though.
His bit with Atossa was really emotional. Especially with the dolls on the tree in his island.
I found Caribert more interesting than the twins for some reason lol. I was a bit disappointed that the traveler doesn't remember their conversation with the other sibling. I was expecting something like what happened in the Sumeru Archon Quest.
I knew there was going to be a gift/ornament though but I wasn't expecting a photograph. It was a bit funny.
Anyway, I can't wait for the next summer event. Genshin Impact's summer events are always fun.
The only screenshot I was able to take:
- Hoyoverse announced "The Road Not Taken" an animated short
When I first saw that picture I thought genshin anime is finally here but oh well. It's just a short story. Not complaining though, the last one was great.
- Hidden meaning behind Dvorak’s songnote.com 荒瀧が披露した歌の歌詞について｜原神漢字研究所
はじめに 今バージョン4.6のテーマイベント「荒瀧・生命のロックイリデッセンスビッグツアー」にて、荒瀧一斗とパイモンが舞台で「ロック」を披露した。この記事は、その圧倒的歌唱力でかき消されそうになった歌詞の意味について、読解を試みようとするものである。 まずはその歌詞の全文を掲載する。 これだけ見てもよく分からないが、ストーリーに絡んできた「狗子商会」との関係を考えることで道筋が見えてくる。 狗子商会 今回のストーリーで判明した重要な事実として、戦時中に「狗子商会」という組織が活動していた、というものがある。ここでいう戦とは、幕府軍と抵抗軍との争いを指す。 会場の端にあ
Hi all,
I’ll preface this by saying that there are spoilers ahead. If you haven’t did the music event in v4.6, you have been warned.
---
I thought something was really off with the lyrics in the song written by Dvorak in the Itto event in v4.6. The lyrics alone don’t seem to make sense, but it somehow includes a lot of animals, and somehow they match up with the list of animals mentioned in the list of treatments by the Puppy Union, left behind by Heizou. And there’s also the fact that Miko mentioned that the lyrics talked about a war, even though on the surface, there is clearly no such mention, at least directly so.
Turns out I wasn’t the only one who noticed it, at least in the Japanese sphere, cause I couldn’t find any discussions about this in English. The link I shared is someone putting all the information together to infer the whole story behind the lyrics. I’ll be basing this post on that link, and give almost all credits to them for putting that information together. I’m just bringing this info to the English-speaking community (feel free to share this on say HoYoLab).
First off, let’s look at the list of animals helped by the Puppy Union.
> ...Pets admitted for care today... > Weasel Thief No. 11: Dalang, 6 y/o. > ...Pets admitted for care today... > Weasel Thief No. 12: Chouji, 8 y/o. > ...Pets admitted for care today... > Unagi No. 8: Cocquerel, 35 y/o. > ...Pets admitted for care today... > General Crab No. 3: Koharu, 25 y/o. > ...Pets admitted for care today... > Bake-Danuki No. 5: Kusumi, 60 y/o. > ..Pets admitted for care today... > Unagi No. 9: Dvorak, 40 y/o.
This list should immediately tick something off in everyone’s head; Dvorak’s name is right there. Some of you might remember a Chouji in one of the World Quest chain in Inazuma, the boy who wanted to take some of that tainted marrow material for sale who’s stuck in Yashiori Island, who later decided to go find their mother. It should be clear that the Puppy Union wasn’t rescuing animals, but people. Dvorak probably noticed this; he was saved by the very “Union” after all. And the chances of that being true is quite high; Dvorak himself said that he was in Inazuma during the Civil War.
More importantly, there seems to be a pattern to how people are codenamed. It seems like
- Weasel Theives are meant for “young people”
- Unagi is either “foreigner”, “Fontainian”, or “middle-aged” people
- Bake-danuki is for the “elderly”
General Crab is an odd one, but there is a Koharu right in the Yashiro Commission. Interestingly, in Japanese, the name noted in the list is simply Haru. If the goal is to hide the name sufficiently so that anyone who finds this list can’t trace it to the Yashiro Commission, then it makes sense. In any case, General Crab thus has several possibilities that aren’t necessarily close in meaning: young women, or someone related to the Bakufu.
Now, by near the end of the event, Kokomi made it clear that the Puppy Union was intentionally secretive, even if that’s not their goal. It should be safe to assume that the people that were helped were told not to mention that they were helped publicly, lest it becomes something that gets ahold of the Bakufu’s attention, which would unravel the cooperation between the Yashiro Commission and Sangonomiya.
…
Now for the lyrics.
> Raven, took an arrow to the heart > And the bake-danuki, shapeshifted into dark > I, Weasel Thief, hereby bequeath all my Mora: > Two hundred goes to my pa Three hundred to dear mama > Poor little General Crab, Only a shell remains > Unagi goodbye > Now rest in peace, please don't cry > 'Cause we'll get reborn as a beetle next time > Onikabuto, raise your horns > Here's to a world beyond the storm > Of rosy skies
Let’s go through by sections. It should be noted that the nuances of the lyrics do differ quite a bit between languages, which I’ll cover below.
> Raven, took an arrow to the heart
We haven’t seen a “raven” in the list, but it’s safe to assume that it’s a person. In the Japanese lyrics, instead of “the heart”, the raven took an arrow to their “wing”. It’s thus best to read this as “someone was wounded”.
> And the bake-danuki, shapeshifted into dark
The English lyric here is really vague, but we know it has something to do with and old person. In the Japanese lyric, it goes “the bake-danuki who turned into a torch has already disappeared”. This can either mean that the old person was seen out cold, or dead.
> I, Weasel Thief, hereby bequeath all my Mora: > Two hundred goes to my pa Three hundred to dear mama
We’ll do these two lines together cause they’re related. A young person “bequeaths” their wealth to their parents. This sounds like a child has passed away before their parents.
> Poor little General Crab, Only a shell remains
The English lyric here is quite depressing — possibly hinting at more death. In the Japanese lyric, the “General Crab” lost both their legs.
> Unagi goodbye > Now rest in peace, please don't cry
These two lines are presented quite differently in Japanese. In English, it seems like Dvorak saw either another Fontainian or foreigner die in front of them. In the Japanese lyric, Dvorak seems to have seen another Fontainian/foreigner suffering while unconscious, sleeping in a dilapidated house.
> Onikabuto, raise your horns > Here's to a world beyond the storm > Of rosy skies
No reincarnation in the English lyrics, which is kind of disappointing (like, why did the title have reincarnation in it then?). Storm here being conflict and war. In Japanese, the “storm” is instead “tainted world”. The “raise your horns” here is likely a call to action. In Japanese, it’s literally translated as “with your horns, we shall make bloom”. In both cases, they probably imply the wish to flip the world upside down, just like how an onikabuto beetle would in a fight. This means that in both the languages, it seems to convey a wish to strive for a world without conflict and war.
---
The rock genre is usually associated with a spirit of rebelliousness, usually towards a society that isn’t working in someone’s favour, be it that the person wants something good or bad. In Dvorak’s case, at least according to the lyrics, he seems to be seeking peace. Also, Dvorak continued to host the event despite not being able to secure the funding he wished for. This entire event is quite possibly his attempt at presenting his thanks to the people who saved him in the Puppy Union.
On another note, several people have most probably realized Dvorak’s intentions. We already know Kokomi is probably aware of it, and so does Miko. One that’s quite a bit less obvious is Thoma, and it’s quite easily missed unless you revisit his voice lines; he suggested to the Traveller that the story of the heroic dog is a story weaved by Dvorak to convey a message. Given how close he is to the Kamisato siblings, it shouldn’t be surprising if he knew of the Puppy Union.
---
And there we go, that is what some people think is the hidden message behind the whole event. It seems like HoYoverse is trying to add more background info to the Civil War in Inazuma here, possibly suggesting that we might get more such stories down the line?
Another thing I’d like to note after seeing an English playthrough of the event. The Raiden Shogun’s lines in English are… somewhat shallow, and makes it look like all she knows is to swing a sword around. In Japanese, her answer to Miko’s question is much more nuanced. “Then I (alone) shall face it head on,” is her answer in Japanese, which was then followed by Miko’s “the attendees of today’s event will surely be your ally”. The Japanese text better reflects the Shogun’s personality, who is always ready to bear all burdens alone and to the best of her abilities.

- [Official] "Chronicled Wish" Rules & FAQ
Dear Travelers,
During Version 4.5, a new type of Event Wish: "Chronicled Wish" will become available. Here, we've gathered together some questions that you might be curious about to better explain the rules of this new type of Wish.
Q: What is "Chronicled Wish"? What can I get from it?
A: "Chronicled Wish" is a new type of Event Wish that allows you to wish for certain rerun characters and weapons.
Travelers can obtain random 5-star, 4-star, and 3-star items from "Chronicled Wish." Unlike other Event Wishes, the item list of "Chronicled Wish" includes both 5-star characters and 5-star weapons. It also includes a number of event wish-exclusive characters and weapons.
Q: What are the rules of "Chronicled Wish"? Is there a wish guarantee?
A: Wishes for "Chronicled Wish" require Intertwined Fate. Before wishing, you must choose your "Chronicled Path" by selecting a 5-star character or weapon from the list of 5-star items. If the Designated Item is a character, the 5-star items you can obtain in the Wish will all be characters; whereas if the Designated Item is a weapon, the 5-star items you can obtain in the Wish will all be weapons.
There are guarantees for both the 5-star and 4-star items in the Wish. A maximum of 90 wishes conducted will secure a 5-star item through the guarantee. When you obtain a 5-star item in this Event Wish, there is a 50.000% chance it will be the Designated Item. You are guaranteed to win a 4-star or above item at least once every 10 attempts.
"Chronicled Path" Rules:
After choosing a 5-star item as your Designated Item, if you obtain a 5-star item that was not your Designated Item, you will receive 1 Fate Point. Once you have reached the maximum amount of Fate Points (1 Fate Point), the next 5-star item you obtain through this Wish is guaranteed to be your Designated Item.
Obtaining the current Designated Item or changing your choice will reset the Fate Points to 0.
To take Version 4.5's Chronicled Wish as an example, if you chose the character "Dandelion Knight" Jean (Anemo) as your Designated Item, then the 5-star items you might receive would be limited to the characters in the image below (and would therefore not include weapons). As Jean is the Designated Item, if you were to receive the character "Dance of the Shimmering Wave" Eula (Cryo) instead, you would receive 1 Fate Point (the maximum amount). The next 5-star item that you'd obtain would then be guaranteed to be Jean.
Q: When the "Chronicled Wish" event ends, will my accumulated wishes carry over to the next "Chronicled Wish"? How about the Fate Points for "Chronicled Path"?
A: The wish guarantee count will continue to accumulate within "Chronicled Wish," and will carry over to the next "Chronicled Wish." The wish guarantee count for "Chronicled Wish" is independent of the guarantee counts for other types of Wishes.
Your Fate Points will not be carried over to the next "Chronicled Wish." Your Fate Points will be reset to 0 when the current "Chronicled Wish" ends.
E.g.:
In the current "Chronicled Wish," you chart a course towards "Dandelion Knight" Jean (Anemo) but the first 5-star character you obtain is "Fleeing Sunlight" Klee (Pyro). As this character is not Jean, you obtain 1 Fate Point for "Chronicled Path."
You make another 10 wishes during the same "Chronicled Wish," but don't receive a 5-star item, so you are still 80 wishes away from being guaranteed a 5-star item. You then don't make any other wishes during the current "Chronicled Wish."
Once the next "Chronicled Wish" begins, your accumulated wish count is carried over from the last "Chronicled Wish," but your Fate Points for "Chronicled Path" are reset to 0. In the new "Chronicled Wish," you will be guaranteed to obtain a 5-star item after 80 wishes, and there is a 50.000% chance that it will be the current Designated Item.
Q: Will the item list change between different "Chronicled Wish" periods? Are there corresponding rules for said changes?
A: The items in each different "Chronicled Wish" period may change. For details, please stay tuned for "Chronicled Wish" event notices.
Only event-exclusive 5-star characters that have already appeared in the "Character Event Wish" or "Character Event Wish-2" at least 3 times and have also not appeared in any recent Event Wishes will appear in "Chronicled Wish."
Event-exclusive 5-star characters that have already appeared in "Chronicled Wish" may still appear in future "Chronicled Wishes" or other types of Event Wishes.
Q: When will "Chronicled Wish" be available?
A: "Chronicled Wish" events will be available from time to time. Please stay tuned to our official news for detailed information about when they will be available.
That's all for this issue's FAQ. If you still have any queries about "Chronicled Wish," feel free to leave them in the comments section or stay tuned for future official announcements. For more detailed rules, please check out the "Details" section on the event page after the game is updated.
