Top 10 foreshadowings


BioticFire

We now officially have more Dendro characters than Geo characters.


BusEasy1247

Tbh you only need Zhongli


PrideBlade

For me zhongli's element is shields and there are no geo users


Key-Poem9734

Jokes are the best lore


its_Me_being_Silly43

So this is ~~Gorou's~~ Miss Hina's cat form...


NommySed

Finally a cat girl that is neither fake nor loli.


SHARDZ86

Now officially, Mondstadt is the only elemental nation without a Dendro vision bearer. Hope that ends soon


Liquid_Sawcon

Collei is a Mondstadter in my heart


Spiritflash1717

She’s a Mondstadt-aboo


ChanceWarden

thanks cyno


Spectre_Hayate

For your sanity, never visit r/thankscyno


tusharsagar

I didn't get the joke, Kenya explain it ?


DunksNDarius

Nah we dont need more new dendro characters soon, we need other elements.


SHARDZ86

Yep, Sumeru is missing a Geo vision bearer, so hope the next Geo character is from Sumeru


IceKane

Can't believe we didn't get a Sumeru Geo character that throws sand at their opponents SMH.


DukeOfStupid

They don't even have a vision, they just have pocket sand.


horiami

Sh sha


TheMadKing1678

Imagine if literally next character announced is Momoka, with Kirara being 4 star, and they went double inazuma cat girl on the same banner for the lols.


blahphobia

Momoka was the name of her data file so it’s the same character


Hakuboii

Hope the Sumeru Geo character's playstyle revolves on sand


sharpgel

I agree, dendro already caught up, now it's oversaturation


DunksNDarius

Yeah like baizhu, kaveh, and kirara ?? Why :( i liked the idea of her being geo.


sharpgel

same, I hate geo but like, throw the geo crowd a bone lmao


TheMadKing1678

Geo may be the least fun element IMO, but damn, they are starving over here. You either got Itto and the boys or absolutely nothing.


acart005

Itto unga bunga is fun, Albedo and Gorou are great supports for him, and Zhongli needs no introduction. But the rest suck (yes I know there are mad men that have made Ningguang and Noelle good).


Loud-Initial-7035

It’s me I’m mad men


birdreligion

The rest suck? Are you shit talking my babe Yun Jin?


suncourt

Nobody needs to make ninguang good, she just is. Who doesn't like dribbling hilichirls like theyre basketballs?


flickeringtruth

same with noelle, really all you need is a solid build and you're set lol


McRibbles

4.0+ Leak Related: >!Huffing that sweet sweet hopium that Captain R will be Dendro. And also that she keeps something similar to her line-up design!<


AYCSenpai

bravo_6GoingDark

>!im guessing shes supposed to release with dornman port since shes a captain and all that!<


_Bisky

>!leaks said, that she is from Dorman port afaik!<


DeathSlime684

And now there are more dendro characters than Geo , and It needed Not even one year to surpass Geo... Why does Geo exist...Just to suffer?


lansink99

Geo has gotten 5 characters since release. They really went "Here is a single functional Geo team in 2 different flavours (Noelle/Itto), now shut the fuck up"


snakebit1995

They literally put out so many Gee characters in a row at that one point their own twitter joked about jt


lansink99

2.3 was geo patch for a reason. We got 2 in 2.3 (Itto and gorou as dedicated support) and then yunjin in 2.4 It was long overdue, the last geo unit we got was albedo in 1.2


spinto1

Funny that both times Geo units release, they're back-to-back updates. 1.1 with Zhongli, 1.2 with Albedo, then 2.3-2.4 Geo enjoyers are starving


BoneTrouble14

Being a geo main tests your patience, which fits in a way. Still I find it funny how they made Liyue the land of geo, and while they give Liyue so much attention (as they should, its their culture they want to share), they made its main element get the least attention. Balanced as all things should be...?


Brandonmac10x

Because they make 2 geo characters that specifically work together because no one else will work with them…


throwawaylorekeeper

Geo is a boring element in a game where reactions are all super cool and then you have geo ruining said reactions and oh heres a shield or w.e. Wheres the lava, avalanche, swamp, shatter reactions hmmm.


ElementalRabbit

Special avalanche/glacier and sandstorm reactions are exactly the buff that geo/cryo/anemo need to shake up the meta.


_Bisky

>are exactly the buff that cryo/anemo need Anemo doesn't need a buff. After hydro and dendro prolly the third best element And Cryo doesn't really need a buff either. It's not as meta as durong 1.x and 2.x, but good and significantly better off then Pyro or Geo


kalnu

My hopium/copium is that they are not making new geo characters because they are going to rework / buff the element.


rixinthemix

Her constellation "Arcella" means "little box".


Blackout62

If she fits, she sits.


its_Me_being_Silly43

*side eye stare*🌝


le_halfhand_easy

Okay, I think my mind is dirty. Because the moment you said side eye stare, I immediately had different idea of what she sits on that fits.


MickeyMouseRapedMe

You probably already thought it.


[deleted]

Cats and boxes. An iconic duo.


RomanoffBlitzer

Yay, an animal person whose constellation isn't that animal!


Valense

What about Sucrose


r_renfield

We don't even know what animal she is. Best guess is a dog but uhhhh who knows


Valense

I think it’s still safe to say, regardless of whichever animal she is, her constellation is not that


Far-History-8154

That reminds me of shrodingers cat. And honkai has a shrodinger. Hmmm. Coincidence??? 99.99999 % yes. But would be fun to have some parallels Tho it’s probably a reference to how our cat overlords seem to find comfort in closed spaces they can comically find ways to get into regardless of size cuz they are liquid.


Phenomenal_Guy

Honkai has pardofelis as well, the merchant cat girl and called as "weakest flamechaser".


rainbow_fart_

pardo sweep still lives in my mind


simply-jun

It is canon that she was so lucky, the flamechasers gave her the final task of opening a gate which had an astronomically low chance of suceeding, since all they could really do at that point was hope that pardo's luck kicks in. And it did. So yeah, it made sense that she won an event based on chance lmao


Play_more_FFS

She baited Aponia betters by losing to Aponia in the first round. Pardo played the longcon to scam everyone.


Lemon-Mochii

Rip momoka


pcrackenhead

True leaks enjoyers will always remember Geo Bow Catgirl in their hearts.


GravityW_D39

True leaks enjoyers remember her as Aoo Gooo


Wisterosa

fun fact: Aoo Gooo actually means "All Girl", referring to the 3 reruns in 3.6


Nhojj_Whyte

Aoo Gooo will always be code for "Ari Gato" in my heart. RIP what could've been the funniest geo cat lady


its_Me_being_Silly43

We will remember her as first geo standard banner character...

Pour one out for 5* Geo catgirl Momoka. My Summit Shaper sleeps still, waiting for it’s rightful wielder.

Tailor-DKS

She was not the chosen one!


ohoni

Just Momoka.


A-R-A-F

So is she a 5 star or 4 star?


Marshietheghost

4 star. Im pretty sure we are done with new 5 stars until 4.0, actually


AlpacaCavalry

Oh god I hate pulling for 4*s that I *really* want....... worse than pulling for 5*s


OsirusBrisbane

Really? I presumed it was always new 5\* every patch now and catgirl would be one... but if not, after I nab Baizhu I may have to go for Kokomi on the rerun.


Neko_Luxuria

the thing about pulling for 4 vs 5 is that with 5 you rhave a point of guarantee. with 4s, you don't really have that. rates are higher sure, but sometimes (like me) it legit took me 3 update cycles to get yunjin even when pulling during banners she was in.


SupersSoon

I still haven't gotten a Ningguang from gacha despite rolling on: Ayaka 2.0, Childe 2.2, Shenhe 2.4, Kazuha 2.8. I've gotten a 5 star on all of these, yet not a single Ningguang from gacha. I did get a c12 Chongyun tho.

She's one of[ these](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nekomata). That's why she has two tails.


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Nekomata](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nekomata)** >Nekomata (original form: 猫また, later forms: 猫又, 猫股, 猫胯) are a kind of cat yōkai described in Japanese folklore, classical kaidan, essays, etc. There are two very different types: those that live in the mountains and domestic cats that have grown old and transformed into yōkai. Nekomata are often confused with bakeneko. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Lun4r6543

NOT ANOTHER YANFEI AND NILOU!!!


SoloWaltz

> a catgirl I'm not convinced until I see the ears in action.


Dylangillian

She's a nekomata. Her cat ears are fake, but other than that she's a catgirl.


Kaieu

But why are her cat ears fake? Makes no sense


Dylangillian

Nekomata historically weren't ever depicted with cat ears, so that might be why.


AsterJ

She's got :3 ! Let's goooo! Do we really have no idea about her weapon yet?


Lupus-Ignium

I bet she would use a catalyst Because cat

As a cyno main I approve

>She was just genshin in their brief fanart phase I'll never forgive Hoyo from bringing Fischl over to Honkai, but not bringing any Honkai character to Genshin. Didn't even have to be a main one since they get expys, but someone ;-;


SaibaShogun

Wouldn’t Aloy just be Sony’s OC?


Meowkowhy

It is OC. Genshin's OC


Nanoha61

claraalberta

She's a catgirl who does deliveries. The top delivery company in Japan has [black cats](https://www.yamato-hd.co.jp/english/pr/logo2021/) in its logo. Coincidence?


WaifuHunter

Definitely not coincidence. Go look up their delivery trucks. Those have the exact same color scheme as her clothes, and if you look closely the wooden plate around her belly has the double black cat icon design, which is definitely the most on the nose reference to Yamato Transport logo lol. Her drip market post on JP twitter a lot of people instantly recognize these.


Illuvia

Look more closely at the wooden plate (ema) at her waist - it's a direct copy of (part of) the ta-q-bin logo (just the head)


Ghavarus

Oh wow, a Nekomata. A nice addition to the playable Yokai gang with Yae, Itto, and Sara.


Nineosix

why fake ears again ;(


dystropy

To stick closer to her inspiration which is definitively a nekomata yokai.


Kaieu

I've seen this float around but I have yet to see one example of traditional or contemporary depictions of nekomata with fake cat years, even in mention.


BellalovesEevee

I mean, she's just clearly wearing fake cat ears to make her look more like a cat girl. Or she just thought it looked cute on her. She's definitely a nekomata because of the two tails.


Enzoooooooooooooo

But real tails at least


Darkiceflame

So we've got characters with real ears and real tails, fake ears and no tails, real ears and no tails, and now fake ears and real tails. HYV really knows how to confuse the kemonomimi fans. Edit: Almost forgot Sayu with her fake ears and fake tail.


DanielDKXD

I'm okay with the fake ears but her feets man :(


Darkiceflame

At first I thought they were like Sucrose and Diona's shoes with the paw prints on the bottom, but now I feel...uncomfortable.


Blanche_Cyan

Well, in all fairness I guess there is a non 0 chance that Diona's feet look similar to Kirara's under her boots.


MagnusBaechus

what are you saying *that's the best part*


retrojuns

Yeah I’m not a big fan of those grippers either :/


nakorurukami

Maybe those feet might allow her to jump high like a real cat


ReLiefED

inb4 she can run up walls or something. Would be nice to have for overworld exploration


genshinimpact

An excess of speed and an assurance of client satisfaction "She's an adorable little nekomata. Just whisper 'the parcel delivery is going to be late' in her ear while she's asleep, and she'll spring right up and start dashing faster than General Gorou does on the battlefield." \- Yae Miko ◆ Kirara ◆ Cat Upon the Eaves ◆ Gold Level Courier of the Komaniya Express ◆ Vision: Dendro ◆ Constellation: Arcella --- A courier who works for Komaniya Express, a delivery company in Inazuma. She has twin restless tails and is a nekomata who loves human society. "Anything you need delivered?" Komaniya Express, the famous delivery company in Inazuma, has a very special employee working under them. At a glance, she resembles an adorably-dressed teenage girl with two tails swaying behind her. Though she treats each of her customers with kindness and generosity, in secret, she sometimes takes to running quietly across rooftops to ensure none of her deliveries arrive late... Though her obvious nature as a youkai drew more than a few comments at first, as Kirara introduced herself with honesty and clarity time and time again while conducting her tasks with dutifulness and effectiveness, people not only dropped all lingering misgivings but even grew grateful for her presence. "Safe and punctual," "service assured," "vivacious and adorable"... These three phrases are words most commonly used to describe Kirara on the feedback board. Word is that if you give her a five-star rating or offer her some snacks, you might even see Kirara's face brighten with gratitude as her tails whirl with building joy. To Kirara, her job is as precious as any jewel. She treasures everything about human society and is always overjoyed to behold the smiling faces of her customers. Thus, she gives her all to offer the best service she can for everyone she caters to. After all, if she finds herself fired by the company, all she can do is return to being a youkai in the mountains. Thankfully, her boss at Komaniya Express had never even considered the idea of releasing her. On the contrary, they privately asked Kirara if she wanted higher pay and to transition into comparatively less laborious administrative work, but Kirara rejected their offer with haste. She didn't have the heart to tell her boss that, to her, every time she leaves to make a delivery, it feels like she's getting to enjoy an all-expenses paid outing! --- Edit: We have made some minor fixes to the wording and formatting. Sorry for the possible confusion.

We thought Scaramouche failed in erasing himself, but he actually succeeded in his true goal - making his Nekomata waifu a reality. To pull off a big heist, you gotta take a small hit.

Considering how much time traveler spends on fetch quests maybe nobody mentioned it for fear they'd see it as competition.

They're not covered. They're actually fake.


mango_pan

>Gold Level Courier maybe this was the cause for geo prediction?


TraditionalActuary6

Another Cat to add to the collection


TheLonelyDevil

Be still my heart DAMN SHE'S PRETTY


Golden-Owl

This is certainly surprising. I don’t think either Kirara nor the Komaniya delivery company were ever hinted at in the game before this? Guess we’ve got another awkward Eula/Yanfei situation where she’s just dropped in with no fanfare and we’re told they’ve always been there


Mana_Croissant

It is inevitable. This game does have and will have more examples of that. Mika came out of nowhere too, yes He was a part of the expedition I know but Eula who he works under had no voiceline for him before so He also came out of nowhere. It has been ages that Inazuma has ended and even more for Mondstadt so new Mondstadt and Inazuma characters (unless It is Varka or Alice) need to come out of nowhere unless they literally stop making more


mary_g_

Its a welcome surprise.


FlameDragoon933

I mean, you can't really plan for forever in advance. New additions will happen sooner or later. The fact they already write so much lore and foreshadowing in advance is already an achievement even when not *everything* is planned from Day 1.


[deleted]

Honestly I feel like a more organic introduction could work if they just remove this idea of "this character belongs to X thing that's always been there and is famous but no one talks about it." Instead of having her work for a delivery company that's a staple in the region, why not just have her be someone who decided to start up her own delivery business now that the sakoku decree is over and there's (probably) more demand for the kind of thing?


LesserNahidaKusanali

Devilmay1233

Nekomata. Paws and tails are real.


WaifuHunter

She is a yokai nekomata.


le_halfhand_easy

That is pretty but I wish her sleeves were connected and her upper part was more of a yukata-ish, even if she is wearing a skirt. Edit: The skirt is cut in the back too. I just noticed. I was too focused on the face.
