@YMFF_ @zeekndfilms Bet he'd whoop you with one hand though😭

[jeha @jxharai]

Deji fought people he was supposed to beat or at the very least, people who had the same time as him to train and lost convincingly each time. Vinny Hacker, Alex Wassabi beat him badly and he performed poorly.

JJ fought someone who had been boxing his entire life and the fight was close. He felt robbed. Deji was battered. There's a huge difference.

Genshin Theory: Capitano Becomes King Of New Khaenri'ah

I genuinely think there is way too much king/crown/throne imagery surrounding Capitano for all of it to be accidental. Any one of these things by itself could just be cool symbolism, but when you put all of them together, it starts to look like Capitano is deliberately being framed as some kind of uncrowned king.

There are five things that really stick out to me: his name, the possible Sefirot connections with the Harbingers, the fact that he ends up sitting on a throne, the really weird wording about there being nobody "worthy of granting him a crown," who I think it will ending being granting him that crown, and the almost Lich King-like imagery surrounding his character.

1. His name: Thrain
Starting with the simplest one, Capitano's real name is Thrain. I don't want to claim the name literally translates to "king," because the actual etymology is more complicated than that, but it does have some pretty obvious royal associations in modern fantasy, especially because of Tolkien's Dwarven kings named Thráin.

Normally I wouldn't think much of that. Genshin takes names from all over the place and a name having some royal association isn't enough to build a theory on. It becomes more interesting when the character they gave that name to is also associated with a crown and a throne, is ranked First among the Harbingers, and is constantly presented with this very kingly sense of authority. So I'm putting the name in the "possibly intentional" pile rather than treating it as proof.

5. The "Lich King" imagery
here's also the Lich King comparison, which honestly becomes pretty hard to unsee once Capitano ends up on the throne. I'm not saying he's literally based on the Lich King, but the imagery is weirdly similar. They're both ancient armored warriors associated with death, kingship and a fallen kingdom, and Capitano's whole situation with the curse already makes him something close to an undead character anyway.

The throne imagery is probably the most obvious part. Capitano and the Lich King are sitting in basically the same pose, facing forward on their thrones with the sword held by the hilt in their right hand and the blade pointing downward. It's a pretty specific resemblance, especially when the character being put in that pose already has all of this king/crown/throne imagery surrounding him. Obviously two armored characters holding swords in a similar way isn't proof of anything by itself, but together with everything else it feels worth mentioning.

There's also the resurrection angle. Capitano has already existed for centuries beyond when he should have died because of the curse, and his current situation on the Throne of the Primal Fire leaves open the possibility of him eventually returning or being resurrected. If that does happen, then the Lich King comparison becomes even more fitting: an ancient, death-associated warrior from a destroyed kingdom, sitting on a throne in basically the same pose, who eventually returns from death.

Again, I don't think this means HoYoverse is literally making Capitano into Genshin's version of the Lich King. It could just be overlapping imagery, and none of this is strong enough to prove a direct reference. I just think it's interesting how well the comparison fits with everything else surrounding him. You already have the crown, the throne, the fallen kingdom, the deathless warrior and even the possibility of resurrection, and then on top of that he's visually posed on his throne in almost the same way.

And if Capitano does eventually return, that brings it straight back to the wording from the previous section. The uncrowned king would be back, but still without the one thing all of this imagery keeps pointing toward: an actual crown. And if the Tsaritsa has overthrown the Heavenly Principles by then, maybe she would finally be the person

4. Capitano ends up sitting on a throne
Then there's the fact that Capitano literally ends up seated on the Throne of the Primal Fire after what happens in Natlan.

Obviously there is an actual plot reason for this, so the existence of the throne isn't proof by itself. It's the imagery that interests me. This is a character already potentially associated with Keter/the Crown, with a name carrying royal associations, ranked First among the Harbingers, and his story leaves him seated on a throne.

It's just another kingly image added to an already weirdly long list of them.

[jeha @jxharai]

3. "There remains none worthy of granting him a crown."
This is by far the biggest thing for me. In the official description for Capitano's story teaser "Honor," they say:

"His struggle has lasted for too long, and there remains none worthy of granting him a crown."

The fact that they specifically chose crown is already interesting considering everything above, but the wording is even stranger. They don't say Capitano isn't worthy of a crown. They say that nobody else is worthy of granting him one.

That's a completely different idea.

If you grant someone a crown, you're essentially crowning them. You're recognizing them as a ruler. Normally the person performing a coronation has the authority to legitimize the person receiving the crown, but here the problem has been reversed. Capitano is apparently worthy of receiving it; it's everyone else who fails the test. There is nobody left with enough worth or authority to be the one who places it on his head.

That actually works really well with the Keter connection. If Capitano is symbolically the Crown at the top of the Tree, then who exactly is above him to crown him? In that reading, he is basically an uncrowned king: someone who possesses the qualities and authority associated with kingship without ever needing the title itself.

But I also wonder whether the wording is intentionally leaving something open for later. They didn't say "he needs no crown" or "no crown is worthy of him." They specifically introduced the idea of someone granting him one, and then said that there currently "remains none worthy" of doing it.

Maybe that's just poetic language about his honor. But if Capitano eventually returns, what happens if he finally encounters someone who is worthy of granting him that crown?

And I think there is one person who makes almost too much sense for that role: the Tsaritsa.

The Tsaritsa being the Mother of Khaenri'ah makes the possibility of her crowning Capitano much more meaningful than simply his Archon rewarding her First Harbinger. She has a direct connection to the civilization Capitano came from. If Khaenri'ah is eventually restored or reborn after the current divine order is destroyed, then the Mother of Khaenri'ah would arguably be the most fitting person imaginable to decide who should lead that new kingdom.

Right now, though, even the Tsaritsa exists within the divine order of Teyvat. She is an Archon, but there is still an authority above the Archons in the form of Celestia and the Heavenly Principles. The entire Fatui project seems to be building toward a confrontation with that order.

So what if the wording is important specifically because even the Tsaritsa is not yet in the position to grant Capitano his crown?

If the Tsaritsa eventually succeeds in overthrowing the Heavenly Principles, her position would fundamentally change. She would no longer simply be one of the Seven ruling beneath a higher divine authority. She would be the god who successfully challenged and overthrew the authority that stood above the Archons.

And because she is the Mother of Khaenri'ah, she wouldn't merely possess the power to crown Capitano. She would possess a kind of historical legitimacy to do so as well.

That makes me wonder whether Capitano's crown could eventually be something much more literal than I've been assuming: what if Capitano becomes the king of a new Khaenri'ah?

This is where his real name suddenly becomes relevant again.

Capitano's name is Thrain, and in Tolkien, Thráin I was the founder of the Kingdom under the Mountain and its first King under the Mountain, while Thráin II was another king of that same line. Obviously Genshin's Thrain doesn't have to be a direct reference to either of them, and the name itself has older origins than Tolkien. But it's hard not to notice the association when Genshin gives that particular name to a man from Khaenri'ah, which was itself an underground kingdom, and then surrounds him with imagery of crowns, kingship and thrones.

If Khaenri'ah is eventually rebuilt, Capitano could therefore become something remarkably close to Genshin's own "King under the Mountain."

And importantly, I don't think this would mean Capitano was secretly the rightful king of the old Khaenri'ah or that he has some hidden royal bloodline. I actually think it works better if he doesn't.

The old Khaenri'ah is gone. Its dynasty, its civilization and the world it existed within were destroyed five hundred years ago. If something rises from those ruins after the Heavenly Principles are defeated, it wouldn't necessarily be a simple restoration of what existed before.

It could be a new Khaenri'ah.

And Capitano could become its new king.

That fits his character much better than the idea of him simply seizing a throne. Capitano doesn't strike me as someone who would declare himself king because he believes he deserves power. But being chosen to lead the reborn nation of his people is completely different. He survived the destruction of Khaenri'ah, carried its memory for five hundred years, continued fighting despite his curse and became defined above almost everything else by his honor.

He could essentially represent the bridge between the two Khaenri'ahs: one of the last great warriors of the old kingdom becoming the first king of the new one.

And that would make the Tsaritsa's role incredibly fitting.

The Mother of Khaenri'ah crowns one of the last surviving heroes of the old Khaenri'ah as the ruler of the civilization that succeeds it.

In that interpretation, the crown isn't merely a reward for Capitano's service to her. It's almost a transfer of responsibility. The Mother of Khaenri'ah entrusts its future to Thrain.

And suddenly his name becomes almost ridiculously appropriate.

Thrain.

A man bearing a name famously associated with Tolkien's Kings under the Mountain, originating from Genshin's own underground kingdom, occupying the First position among the Harbingers, potentially corresponding to Keter—the Crown—described as someone whom nobody is worthy of granting a crown, and ultimately left sitting upon a throne.

There are a lot of coincidences piling up there.

It could even explain why HoYoverse worded the teaser description in such a strangely specific way.

"There remains none worthy of granting him a crown" doesn't necessarily mean that nobody will ever be worthy.

It could mean there is nobody worthy yet.

Because perhaps the person who will eventually crown him hasn't reached the position necessary to do it.

The Tsaritsa still has to overthrow the Heavenly Principles. The old order still has to fall. Khaenri'ah still has to be given the opportunity to exist again. And Capitano himself, obviously, would have to return.

Only after all of that would the circumstances exist for the crown to actually mean something.

And if that happens, then someone granting Capitano a crown wouldn't merely be symbolic. It would basically be a coronation.

The Tsaritsa, Mother of Khaenri'ah, crowning Thrain as the first king of a new Khaenri'ah—a new King under the Mountain.

At that point, all of the crown/throne imagery surrounding Capitano wouldn't just have been telling us what he is.

It may have been telling us what he is eventually going to become.
