No time to mourn the comment section turning into a power level discussion for Kachina.
The next one to arrive on the battlefield is Chuychu's comment on the Pyro Archon.
[Chuychu]
Chuychu: You're asking about the Pyro Archon? Hmm... I haven't had many chances to interact with the Pyro Archon, so I don't really know what kind of person he is.
Chuychu: Though, I can share one fun story. After getting my Vision, the Pyro Archon told me to learn from my big sister, saying it might improve our relationship as sisters.
Chuychu: But big sis really doesn't know how to teach people. Every time, she says stuff like "this is super simple, you can figure it out right away."
Chuychu: When you all were heading to the Night Kingdom, I complained about this to the Pyro Archon. He smiled and told me that back then, he taught Mualani even more perfunctorily than that.
Chuychu: You're saying Kachina was taught by the Pyro Archon in that way too? Looks like that kid and I have quite a few common topics.
[Finally getting to see Chuychu's character voice-over]
[Yeah... Chuychu is a vacuum drop character—not only no story, but even a bunch of her voice-overs can't be unlocked]
[So many character evaluations—even if you hit the friendship level, you can't unlock them. Gotta wait until 5.0 launch]
[Chuychu's Vision was given by the Pyro Archon, Kinich's Vision was given by the Pyro Archon... From now on, miHoYo doesn't need to think about personality or Vision origins for Natlan characters—just say the Pyro Archon gave it, done]
[That's only for Pyro characters, probably]
[Wait, the Pyro Archon's Visions—didn't say only Natlan people can have them, right? If she gives them to people from other regions, can they use Elemental Power too?]
[Yeah, bro (referring to the Traveler) can use Pyro because of the Vision from the Pyro Archon. Giving to other regions should work too]
[Sigh... too bad Natlan's story is after Inazuma's—otherwise we could've just given Thoma a Vision directly]
[I'm thinking about giving one to the Rich Guy. Maybe next time we fight the Fatui, give him a Vision and he'll side with us]
[No way. If the Rich Guy wants an imitation Vision, wouldn't he just use an Evil Eye?]
[You guys think the Pyro Archon's way of giving Visions is like Zhongli's? Like how he thought Yun Jin's opera was to his taste and gave her a Vision?]
[Don't let headcanons get to you up front—Zhongli wouldn't just give Visions like that. Even his own Vision is fake. Last event, it was like Venti's glass bead—couldn't glow, while others could]
[But the Pyro Archon really might. By lore, anyone can use his imitation Visions. Maybe he hands them out whenever someone's made him happy]
[Question: Which characters do you hope get a Vision?]
[Ying'er sis—I remember her spices need fire-roasting. Perfect for Pyro]
[Could even be Liyue's perfumer, counterpart to Fontaine]
[Lan sis fits too. I recall she took quests to find her brother and ended up becoming the Adventurers' Guild president through quests—combat strength is definitely top-tier]
[If Lan sis gets a Vision, she'd at least be a 4-star main DPS]
[I vote for Mao Shifu]
[???]
[Mao Shifu... tastes a bit heavy, huh]
[Feels inferior to Dugushuo]
[Speaking of which, why pick only Liyue people? No thoughts on selecting Pyro from other regions besides Liyue?]
[For Pyro, gotta be Liyue]
[Yeah, Liyue really has a ton of Pyro: Xiangling, Hu Tao, Yanfei, Xinyan, Gaming, plus Amber with Liyue blood—Liyue has 6 Pyro characters]
[Even the Nation of Fire Natlan—with Chuychu, Kinich, Mavuika, and the Pyro Archon—only has four Pyro characters, a third less than Liyue]
[And Chuychu and Kinich's Visions are imitations—strictly speaking, Natlan only has two true Pyro characters, not even half of Liyue's]
[Looking at it this way, Liyue is the real Nation of Fire]
[I thought before, seeing Liyue with so many Pyro characters—does the Pyro Archon like Liyue?]
[Fake Nation of Fire: Only 4 Pyro characters, two fake Visions, the other two aren't ordinary people but the Pyro Archon]
[True Nation of Fire: 5 Pyro characters, all with real Visions, genuine article]
[Thinking about it, Natlan is kinda awkward—it's the Nation of Fire, but has fewer Pyro characters than Liyue]
[No biggie—next door in Naruto, tons of Fire ninjas, but only Third and Sixth Hokage know Fire Style?]
[People from the Nation of Fire not using fire much is totally normal]
Finally, it's Mualani's evaluation.
[Mualani]
Mualani: You want to ask about Rios?
Mualani: Rios and I grew up playing together since we were kids—there's so many fun stories between us that it couldn't be finished in three days and nights.
Mualani: Where should I start? Like how, to win at hide-and-seek, I pretended I was going to where Abyss monsters appear, then quietly hid myself, but Rios went to the Abyss monsters' side alone and wiped them all out?
Mualani: Or how, when racing Rios to see who could run faster, the moment I blinked, he was almost at the finish line, but then this guy deliberately took a nap, and only when I was about to overtake him did he sprint to the finish line with his eyes closed?
Mualani: You're asking my view on Rios?
Mualani: Well... I don't really know how to put it right now. Rios rarely played with kids his age growing up—he only really talks more with me.
Paimon: Anyone would talk more with Mualani, right?
Mualani: Haha, I think so too.
Paimon: Saying it like that, is the Pyro Archon actually the aloof type?
Mualani: I don't think so—I feel like Rios is really good at finding joy.
Mualani: Though his jokes aren't that funny, I think that's his way of pursuing happiness too—it's just that maybe no one else really gets it. Perhaps that's why he doesn't interact much with others.
Mualani (laughing): Don't think just because he's always alone that he's not happy—maybe he's having the time of his life. I really admire him for that—being able to be so cheerful by himself. I couldn't do it.
Mualani: However, Rios always likes to keep things bottled up inside. Like this time becoming the Pyro Archon and pausing the Returnfire Sacred Night Pilgrimage. If he'd told us the reason ahead of time, we wouldn't have had to worry so much.
Traveler: But maybe he just didn't want you all to panic about Natlan's situation, so he deliberately didn't say.
Mualani: You're right—maybe that's the consideration of being the Pyro Archon.
Mualani: Still, not telling me about something this important and bearing it alone... I do feel a bit mad about it. He could've at least told just me.
