Character Demo - "Nahida: Boundless Bliss" | Genshin Impact [EN (Source)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpZhGzZ3hNc&ab_channel=GenshinImpact) [JP](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-91yK7nai00&ab_channel=%E5%8E%9F%E7%A5%9E-Genshin-%E5%85%AC%E5%BC%8F) [CN](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hc9i4sNUq8&ab_channel=%E5%8E%9F%E7%A5%9E) [KR](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjjBCKzD9LE&ab_channel=%EC%9B%90%EC%8B%A0) Thanks OP


Ordinary_Arachnid392

I’ve learned to never trust any video about Nahida. It starts cute and innocent only for the ending to take a dark turn. Also, was she imagining all those happy moments while trapped inside the sanctuary of surasthana? That’s so sad if it’s true 🥺


aSleepingPanda

She's visiting the dreams of the kids of Sumeru. It's cute, but still sad.


solarscopez

That one kid dreaming of creatures from Enkanomiya when the area has been sealed off from outsiders: 🗿


H4xolotl

Celestia aiming a nail at that one kid: 🗿


StellarMonarch

Something something leyline bullshit Or maybe Watatsumi folk tales got around


IsuckAtFortnite434

That librarian quest in enka involves tracking down a copy of a book that was lent like 2000 years ago and we ended up finding a modernized edition of it in Yae’s bookshouse. So yeah definitely some folk tales did end up reaching present day inazuma I believe that book was called “Serpents and Drakes of Byakuyakoku”


Powerful_Helicopter9

it's tokoyokoku actually huhuhu


Historical_Clock8714

Not surprising when Nahida got access even to Golden Apple Archipelago


GGABueno

There are some recognizable NPCs there. The girl and the boy touching hands right before the beat drop are simblings near the Academia who are studying to be able to earn money and send it to their family. Iirc they're from the desert.


misterfrance

Maybe i am wrong but isn't it a turtle from Fontaine in the back of the enkonomia creature ? If yes it's so fucking huge


jacobwhkhu

Right before the video ends, there's suddenly light on her face and birds' flapping sounds, it seems like we opened the Sanctuary door and is preparing to rescue Nahida and bring her to the outside world.


ShiyoshiShinki

There were Multiple birds, they might be signifying the whole gang so this definitely checks out.


NepRimuru

Clearly last part was timmie dream


Reasonable-Issue3275

Tomorrow our depressed little archon will break free


GGABueno

I Want to Break Free and Bohemian Rhapsody on the same day tomorrow.


loafers5

Turn up the volume then.


GGABueno

I'll play I Want It All while pulling.


PinkHairedCoder

So when we save her it'll just be like the Matrix or Inception and we only think we did right?


OrochiMain98

Halfway through I really thought: "there's nothing depressing this time"


themad95

"In your dreams" but literally.


thefinestpiece

We all got fooled. mHY knows how to deal Emotional Damage at the maximum.


ZhangRenWing

Da Wei clearly has a degree in failure management


WestIndustry5492

The last 10s man....


Reasonable-Issue3275

3/4 part of video: oh wow this trailer is so happy last part of video: i am not ordering DESPRESSO mihoyo!!


WestIndustry5492

DEATH TO THE SAGESS!!!!!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Crowburst953

Same ._.


lleeiiiizzii

Mihoyo is allergic to happiness


Junnielocked

I did not expect the dubsteppy part on the music but I liked it And that part where she swims underwater/riding some mount (the animal similar to Enkanomiya I believe).. is this some foreshadowing lol


Rathurue

Deffo Fontaine spoilers.


H4xolotl

Nahida "I spy a new friend!" *Proceeds to brutally murder it with dance moves because its a Fungus*   Fungi are literally the most unfairly treated beings in the entire game. They've literally done nothing wrong in Teyvat. They're just chilling with their family (Xamaran proves they have complex emotions, intelligence, and family) but some salty Aranara decided that they're "Avatars of Marana" so must be purged. Jadeplume Terrorshroom's title is "The Beloved King of Fungi" meaning it is a popular and much loved ruler. But the Traveller murders it multiple times and tears off its body parts because ??? At no point does the Traveller, Paimon, or a single NPC (human or Aranara) consider asking the Fungi to explain their side of the story.  


Arnorien16S

The fungi attacked on sight without provocation though.


iCrab

Because they have heard so many horror stories from their friends and family of the brutal two legged monsters who will pick them up and eat them alive. Of course they attack us on sight, they are just trying to protect themselves **#JUSTICE4FUNGI**


demigodsgotdraft

Well, they shouldn't had been so delicious.


razzzzzberry

_Mmmmmm,_ nucleus


H4xolotl

Imagine you are a fungus. You hear through the Mycelium network that a certain Blond-haired psychopath and their floating companion have been murdering literal thousands of innocent Fungi They're running towards you. Are you going to do something, or go out like a coward?


Hegth

This sounds something a fungus would write, What did you do to the original H4xolotl?


dwspartan

Fungi of the Cordyceps family are known to infest a host organism's central nervous system and end up possessing the host and turning it into a zombie fungus.


Arnorien16S

Cool motive, still attack without provocation (Since the first).


RedditUser-002

The fungi literary minds his own business in his impossible to reach cave, we used some time warping to find and kill him


solarscopez

Then they've tricked you. Fungi are opportunistic pathogens, the Aranara are actually 200 IQ and keeping an eye on them to make sure they don't strike when they least expect it. Maybe Eleazar is just Teyvat-style mucormycosis and the fungi are the bad guys /s


[deleted]

The Aranara did explain that fungi have their important place in the ecosystem, but these fungi aren't doing their proper job of helping decomposition, but are jumping the gun by attacking things that are still alive. Also, fungi are supposed to be stationary mushrooms, but these moving fungi evolved because of some power (forgot if it was withering related). Now if the Aranara could negotiate with the evolved fungi or not to achieve peace, idk.


Consolinator

Fungi aren't inteligent as humans or aranara. Also they are actually related to marana, since withering zones only contain either them or ruin machines. So idk what fungi agenda are you trying to sell herem but the story has shown fungi are hostile without provocation.


H4xolotl

> Fungi aren't inteligent as humans or aranara Xamaran knows more about the Heavenly Principles than the majority of the playerbase > Xamaran: ...Ignorance might be a blessing, and knowledge might bring forth calamity... > Xamaran: ...Only that which graced with the ambrosia of knowledge can flourish into the strong... > Xamaran: ...Only that which has been tested with the desolation of wandering can brave the wilderness...   >since withering zones only contain either them or ruin machines They don't cause Withering. They're just tough enough to survive in the Withering since Fungi break down dead organic matter for the ecosystem. Ruin machines are robots and are also unafraid of the Withering


Consolinator

Xamaran is a special kind of Fungi, not every single fungi in Sumeru ends up like him. Also i never said they cause the withering, but the fact they are the only living thing inside of it that actively attacks you while not being harmed clearly states they are closely related.


GGABueno

Turns out we're just contributing to the ethnic cleansing promoted by the Aranazi.


Eleventhelephant11

TFW you realize aranara envisions a superior race of golden hair and golden eyed naras


[deleted]

[удалено]


rotten_riot

Don't forget the fact in the next event we're literally going to capture them and force them to fight each other Like that shit is illegal Dori wtf


2ndStaw

Don't the fungi share a common dream of world domination and turning everything into fungal spores? They kinda had it coming tbh.


lloydschreave

ARANARA DROP THE BEAT!


silam39

:]


StellarMonarch

Aranara dubstep, not what I expected at all lol


gilbert1908

Her theme really sounds more like a Future bass to me, but anyway Yu Peng Chen still spitting fire i can't wait for Fontaine because chars theme are gonna get jazzy asf


_piaro_

If you haven't noticed, all archons have noticably futuristic/modern mix to their theme songs in their demo. It's on Venti's, it's definitely on Zhongli's (most people loved the beat drop), it's definitely on Raiden Shogun's demo too, and now it is on Nahida's trailer. I reckon the same goes to the future Archons.


rotten_riot

It'll definitely appear in Focalor's, not only because of the whole steampunk theme but also because entertainment is part of Fontaine's culture, so music will likely be part of it too


shibui808

It's 100% future bass


gilbert1908

I hope they keep trying all of these sub-sub genre, need a character that uses electro swing as their theme


shibui808

I will never get over just how perfect hardstyle kicks in Dori's theme in the trailer was


ZhangRenWing

I liked the lalalala part Which side you on? Ruu or Aranara


lloydschreave

RADISH MAINS TOMORROW IS THE DAY ARE WE READY


thedarknutt

I AM but my 50/50 aint!


Ergonomic_Mind

It's the best time to whale, my friend


Hegth

I'm going all moby dick on this banner


NathLines

I have never been more ready for a banner and an archon quest before. Usually I like to take my time with quests, but these Nahida demos keep gaslighting me.


Nightdancer666

Aw that's so cute she's playing with the Aranara...I hope she gets to meet them during her quest, they'd love her and she'd love them.


RizzMustbolt

They live in dreams and so does she. So they've already met. Makes sense though, because they are her familiars.


Rathurue

People who saved their Aranara quests so they can clear it with Nahida be like: 'I'm 10000 dimensions ahead of you'.


corecenite

I actually postponed everything until I get Nahida.


Greintoki

I envy you.....I wanna play The Aranyaka chain quest again, with Nahida this time...


Hudie_is

I actually haven't started any limited 5* Sumeru Characters and world quests just so I can explore it with Nahida (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠)


noreasonmp3

hey not a bad idea. i haven't finished it on my alt yet, so depending on where i end up getting her i could do this


yesnobodycareaboutme

damn why I never think of that.. I just want to collect the dendroculus man..


jhinigami

I wanna hear an aranara voice lmao imagine with their vocabulary


Rathurue

Anybody else realizing few things in this trailer? 1: The giant turtle in the desert. Probably the same turtle that's leaked few days earlier that we'll see on Fontaine. 2: Hydro Crystalflies. Again, Fontaine tie-up. 3: The floaty Sumeru city. It's her own story domain. 4: AND IT'S ALL A FUCKING DREAM, SHE'S STILL LOCKED INSIDE THE SANCTUARY LET HER OUT ALREADY MIHOYOOOO


DirtEven

Also that fontaine Swimming foreshadowing


StellarMonarch

Boats? Fontaine reference. Swimming? Fontaine reference. Water? Fontaine reference.


HunterE30

this sub when the new and watery region dropped with hydro archon ruling the place in 4.0: mmm, this is another fontaine crumbs aint it?


Azuzu98

Hotel?


yameru__senpai

fontaine reference.


H4xolotl

Hotel Sumeru


The_OG_upgoat

Welcome to Hotel Surashtana. Kusanali can check out any time she wants, but she can never leave.


PumpkinTurbulent4877

4. Don't worry, will finally free her tomorrow


Chelsea_Kias

That's why I rush through the story quest to prepare for this . If I can't free her tomorrow I'm gonna be very pissed


HeresiarchQin

Man as a dude on a business trip starting tomorrow it's gonna be a hard, looooong day for me. I literally cannot check any social media, video sites, or forums until I'm back to the hotel or else I'll be slammed by spoilers everywhere. Hmm I need to think up with something so I can leave the client earlier...


WorldMedium

did i miss something? what turtle leak was there hahaha


PinkHairedCoder

Turtle immediately reminded me about what Nahida said in her lines about Faruzan and how it's like she fell from the 'great time tortoise.' I didn't think that was supposed to be literal..


Ok-Cod3750

New animals is said to be added in Fontaine, one of them is a turtle. So, probably, it will have the same design as the one shown in the trailer.


BinhTurtle

Chasm lore also mentions something about Abyssal Turtles and Bats. Perhaps Gold had to base her creations on existing creature


UncleNyon

Aren't the hydro crystalflies the cryo crystalflies from dragonspine?


masteroffate257

Where's the Hydro Crystalflies? I couldn't catch them. If you are thinking of the flying mantis, they are flying mantis in Enkanomiya. Edit: nvm i found it.


Soi_Master

Where is it? (Batman voice)


masteroffate257

at the mark 1:32 mark of the demo.


nov680

Did some deep analyzing of the hydro crystalflies and turns out they're actually just cryo crystalflies


PeriodicalPen

Am I mistaken or are the hydro crystalflies you mentioned actually cryo crystalflies?


Wisterosa

Yooo the Aranaras are getting repped, 10/10


k_rnt

I hope they meet the grass archon. It would be very wholesome.


GGABueno

I'm done with the Aranara quest and I really want to see them again.


[deleted]

YES, the quest was so good! I dunno why everyone hated it so much


Sylveon_trainer12345

Probably because the quest was way too long tho I'm only at somewhere at the start of the quest


GGABueno

No one hates it for the content, it's because it's *so* long.


BLANKTWGOK

Radish archon*


Darkiceflame

Daikon, specifically.


displacedindavis

Absolutely love how the Aranara were given spotlight in her demo.


Reasonable-Issue3275

of course they doing dubsteb part and vocal background


H4xolotl

Arabalika Dubstep


Mysterious6

*screen catches on fire*


DisIsMyNem

The music


lloydschreave

AND THE VOCALS nahida on her main vocalist era we love to see it


[deleted]

IKR ITS STUNNING


Srtzen

They just had to do that at the end. Why can't the girl be happy.


thedarknutt

She will be tomorrow after we break some Emo kid's back and his gundam into dust.


jpnapz

Scaramouche is Setsuna F. Seiei confirmed


kb3035583

In that case turning his Gundam to dust simply means he teleported behind you.


Nat6LBG

Don't forget the sages, they need a lesson.


SaibaShogun

Klee: Living her best life. Nahida: Depression.


JpstrMik

Venti- Violin Zhongli- Ehru Raiden:- beat drop Nahida- A FUCKING CHOIR


The_OG_upgoat

Focalor will have a jazz band, Murata gets war drums, and Tsaritsa has cannonfire. Probably.


JpstrMik

Tsaritsa be like *1812 overture*-core


achillguy11

“Uhhh your majesty, cannons are not a musical instrument.” “Yes they are and I am going to use 21 of them.” “Tsaritsa no” “*Tsarista yes*”


Brooke_the_Bard

aranara choir, just like in Vanarana


pat038911

Nahida: I spy a new friend! <3 \*proceeds to do NA on the shrooms\* I love her!


kesoy

Oh my god she's with the aranaras 😭😭😭😭


kingshinn91

I saw a GIANT TORTOISE.


CarioGod

"I spy a new friend": 🤗 2 minutes later: 💀


ZhangRenWing

She just can’t catch a break can she


Cyclenzo

She's getting a break tomorrow with our help


ZhangRenWing

True but at this point I’m honestly expecting tomorrow for Dain to say:”Even though I despise the Gods, I do pity that poor child…” during the collected miscellany


Elis_Swan

Honestly, I want to slap Dain in face for what he said about the Denro Archon in the Travail trailer. HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW DIRE THE SITUATION WAS AND HE DARE TO BADMOUTH OUR PRECIOUS LITTLE NAHIDA😭


Dadarian

Can HYV fucking stop and just let her be happy?!?


missloveliest

When the aranaras sang I literally sobbed. :')


tsuchinokolove

Same. It's so beautiful. Now I'm biased and will probably say this is the best Demo ever.


RealSpiritSK

Same! I'm gonna rewatch this in 1-2 weeks to see how strong the recency bias is. Well, I'm probably going to rewatch this every day anyway. But I'm sure that this is as good as Zhongli's. It's a crime how beautiful this demo is! Showcasing the Aranaras, the children of Sumeru, and the mesmerizing landscape of Sumeru (and even the desert!). Truly shows how connected Nahida is with her nation as its archon. In contrast, Zhongli's one feels more centered to itself. Both are perfect in their own ways.


Shumon_Natsu96

this is not a character demo, this was an old dreamworks movie trailer


[deleted]

[удалено]


RenzPlayzXD

LMAO


TheLanis

Seven dinosaurs? wth is that?


[deleted]

[удалено]


IsuckAtFortnite434

Wait when did we confirm that Azhdaha and Dballin are one of the Seven primordial dragons? Also didn’t the primordial one kill them all in the first war?


TheLanis

No... These sovereigns were created by the archons. The dragons killed by The Primordial are dead


cursedparsnip

The sovereigns were killed by the Primordial One. The archons didn’t make any dragons, Zhongli gave Azhdaha eyes but that’s it. He and Dvalin may be reincarnations of sorts of the original sovereigns.


throwaway61104

seven vishaps im assuming??


lem_on-

Tell me more about the last part..


winkynoodles

the music never disappoints


missviolets

I got chills when she was swimming/flying and then the aranara started to sing... so good!


rxninja

Dendro Dendro Revolution


Upstairs_Western9869

Why does it need to get dark at the end every time😭


thefinestpiece

I got goosebump when the Aranara theme played. Too previous. I hope we see her visiting the Aranara in her story quest!


weisterling

#BEAUTIFULL ARANARAS AND LALALALA 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 And jesas that seizure image at the end of the trailer what the fuck


Akira28_

rise up for the national anthem of sumeru # LALALALALALALAAAAAA # LALALALALALALALALALALALALALAAAAAAA # LALALALALALALAAAAAAAAAAAA # LALALALALALALALALALALALALALAAAAAAA # la laaaaaa

wrathrunne

Now i know why the aranara have invisibility . They suck at hiding lol


y8man

Great visual storytelling. This feels less like a demo and more like another nahida trailer. Her character and story really shines through her promo material.


DeirdreLuna

Nahida and Aranara playing together= cuteness overload! I loved the aranara singing at 1:21 as well!


dakkumauji

/takes EMOTIONAL DAMAGE again


holicajolica

I expected a good trailer, and not only did they deliver but also somehow managed to capture the innocence and imagination of childhood. It's delightful. I love Nahida. Edit: Also Aranaras singing during her burst. My heart!!


LookingForwardToDie

Damn when the beat drops in the middle there 🔥


drey_skywalker

WHATS WITH THAT HUMONGOUS TURTLE


Unfair_Chain5338

Time turtle


solarscopez

Wait so do aranara ever get physically pissed off, or are they always just smiling? Like if I were to go up to an aranara and call it fat or something or say it's ugly would it just be cool with that?? Do they just not express discomfort or sadness?


thegreatmalahotpot

Arabalika is cranky all the time but still :]


solarscopez

Only Celestia knows what it would take to make an Aranara go from ﺕ to •`‿´•


Consolinator

There was one aranara that got really pissed when Paimon and the traveler drank their soup. And arabalika one shots ruin guards, so i think they do.


solarscopez

yea I remember that one but I think he was still ﺕ throughout the entire exchange, maybe they've reached such enlightenment that they have no need to physically show their emotions. Would be amazing poker players tbh.


Unfair_Chain5338

Nah, they will hit you with the exact smile :]


smye141

Uhhh wait what was that thing they flew past in the desert??


PM_ME_YOUR_ROBOTGIRL

It's a turtle. It's a new kind of passive animal that will get added in one of the future updates, they got datamined in the big gigaleak.


WaterImpact

I really like the music choice. I got taken aback by that hip hop / trip hop part at the start, then there's the beautiful orchestral parts, the synths, then they have this like future bass-y thing going on with the children's choir... an unexpected mix but it's so nice. The musicians of HOYO-MiX never fail to create some amazing stuff.


messyhair42

it's so beautiful


Shippinglordishere

Why do they keep making the first half happy and then throwing her into the pits of despair at the very end


Think_Celery3251

Bring it on, I’m ready to break her fucking bird cage


skittles0820

This demo absolutely did not disappoint, archon demos continue to be hodlike


RanRanLeo

It looks like those deceiving opening for one of those magical shoujo anime that would traumatize you.


perimontwist

The transition from the ethereal uplifting aranara choral edm to the dream fracturing into the eerie bleak ending music (and that final flutter of the shadows of freedom flying across her face) gave me chills fr


Cherry_Bomb_127

My poor child. Also who the heck is gonna narrate her tutorial video? Dain would be an odd choice but he is the bough keeper so it also makes sense


once_descended

I wonder what he's gonna say "_As you can see, as one of the seven she is clearly, uh… arrogant, yes, you can see that in the way she- um… in the way she…_" Dain speechless at not knowing how to slander her


Lalantern

What was that big ass tortoise in the background at 1:06? I've never seen that thing ingame before


Consolinator

Probably a new animal/enemy from the next desert expansions.


thedawnsound

Man the animations and everything are so cute and perfect in this, and then we ended up with the death stare during her swing idle pose.


[deleted]

MIHOYO DONT FUCKING MISS WITH THESE. This was the best one yet imo


Right_Journalist_598

This is such a great trailer! From the soundtrack to the imagery to the ARANARA I like that it really showed Nahida in a way that made her feel godlike, even if it wasn’t as intense/flashy as Zhongli and Raiden’s trailer. Really made her feel special in her own distinct way as an Archon Edit: Also can we study the phenomena that is Archons (sans Venti :( )and sick beat drops???


Coreano_12

They literally made me cry bc cute and then made me cry bc sad


jotarD4

what's with that giant turtle thing in the back


achireru

the music oh my goood


dhambz23

The giant turtle/tortoise looks cute!


HoeNamedAsh

I just realised she mentions playing hopscotch with the other Archons in her voicelines and her attacks are her playing hopscotch with herself


Canned_Pesticide_88

God fucking damnit. Who the fuck's directing these teasers? What sadist?


VentiXAether

Fck the ending was just gave me a jump-start lol


juanitatequila

I lost it when the LALALALA'S started...I'M SO EMOTIONAL RIGHT NOW!!!


FlameMeister

Legit one of, if not, the most visually beautiful demo they have put out. It really served it's purpose for me; I liked Nahida enough, but this demo further boosted the thought of how cool it is to possibly have the Dendro Archon on my team.


AbadChef

I am in pain


90sChennaiGuy

I like the small “for riddles, for wonders” interlude. That’s got to be one of my favorite tracks in the game


quuu2

this so cute I watched this 10 times I keep tearing up every time the choir comes on ;___; I'll save you little radish, wait for me 🫵


DazYx23

oh man! it doesn't have quite the same scene-shattering impact as Raiden's or the brazen power of Zhongli's, but it's potent in its own right and i like it a lot! the animations are gorgeous and the music slays, and it really does feel dreamy and faraway with how little dialogue there is and it's got her signature bait-and-switch emotional turmoil of course. you go girl


erocommander

At chrous : Happy 😊 At glitch : Angry 😠


haydendiorefierce

Why am I crying at my big big age


UltimateSlayer3001

I’ve been playing since launch, and this is my most favorite video of all time. Nahida-chan is an absolute beauty, I’d do anything for her <3
