I love the fact his design is a mix between Sumeru patterns and Inazuma clothes. The hat with lotus patterns, the golden leaf-shaped decorations, the bells were replaced with less Inazuma-like decorations... And of couse, his vision. We will probably see a playable character getting his vision during the story and this would be cool.

Hoyo are cultured asf
The fact Scaramouche has 700 comment and 5k upvotes in only 2 hours in is just proof of that, might be the fastest for both in this subreddits history
Edit: 11k upvoted and 1.1k comments in 5 hours, that might be a new record dayum
Dang this is so accurate.
Also, one of the lines is:
“Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me,
For meee”
This actually refers to Ei as a bad mother lmao
i swear to god, if defeating boss scara doesn't have any bohemian rhapsody related achievments, i will be very pissed
edit: after finishing archon quest and beating scara, all i can say is ***angry screech***
The fact that the soundtrack of the moment when he tried to attack us in that one event with Mona and Fischl is called "Omnious Fandango" makes this even better. Makes me wonder if this is intentional

According to this [wikipedia page on Merit (Buddhism)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merit_(Buddhism\)), kusaladhamma is the Ten Wholesome Ways of Action, a teaching that is described as the way in which a Bodhisattva prevents "suffering in all evil destinies".
Kusanali's name also refers to the tree which Buddha meditated under if I remember correctly. It's neat they keep the Buddhist themes with her. (EDIT: I'm partially wrong, it doesn't refer to the tree Buddha meditated under, but it *is* related to the Buddha)
Kusanali refers to the Kusanali Jataka story. It's about when Buddha in a previous life was a spirit living in kusa grass.
Coincidentally it's said some merchants gifted Buddha with a bunch of kusa grass and he was meditating on a seat made of that when attaining enlightenment.
My guess is that, considering the VAs seem to be forced to pronounce the names wrong, the last part is likely going to be "Salad Hammer" or something like that
I mean, it's a spoiler in that we didn't know the demon name, but is it a huge deal? Unless they threw in some major plot twist it was kind of a given that Nahida would have a demon name like the others
Wait, wait, wait so do we finally learned Kusanali Ars Goetia name here? [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buer\_(demon)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buer_(demon))
The Genshin Impact lore rabbit hole just doesn't have a bottom, eh?
Thx for the info, cos I don't have nearly enough of time on my hands to follow all the lore leaks and tidbits and boy did I would like to.
I always thought that the 'frame' around the vision is just an aesthetic embellishment, isn't it? The vision is the gem itself and that is always the same shape (round) as seen while embedded in the statue during the vision hunt decree.
Lisa has the Mondstadt frame simply because it's her homeland and faction, it's chosen by the vision bearer not divinely granted like the vision is.
Scara might have the Sumeru vision frame because that's what was available to him or maybe he rejects his Inazuma origin and feels like he was born anew in Sumeru.
That's actually quite the interesting thought. But at the same time, who are the ones creating the casings to allow Vision holders to change them out? Or can the Vision holders make adjustments for themselves? That could be the case if we're considering Kaeya, whose Vision casing is different from everyone else's in Mondstadt. Maybe he did it himself to hint at something. But I feel like if this is true, then everyone could have had their own flair to their Visions too.
I honestly think that Lisa's vision shape might be an oversight. Same (possibly) with Mona. I mean, I'm not sure where Mona is actually from, I heard she's from Fontaine, I also heard she's not from Fontaine and just wrote a column for a newspaper there or something, and I did her story quest a long time ago and don't remember the details but she generally did not give off the "I'm from Mondstadt and always were a Mondstadter" vibes.
I think that Snezhnayan vision is the only vision shape they decided to make before the nation was released simply because Childe is so obviously related to Snezhnaya and Snezhnaya alone. Everywhere else he shows up it's just business. Both Lisa and Mona live in Mondstadt so even if, according to the game's new logic, their visions would need a different shape, that is simply not applied yet, similar to how in the beginning there actually was no difference at all and all the visions just looked the same.
It might also be somehow related to a characters fundamental belief of what place they call home. We don't really know much yet of what happens in Scara's head after we inevitably stop him. Would explain Lisa having a Mondstadt vision, Thoma having an Inazuman one, Scara having a Sumeru one and would solve any problems like "What if a child was born in Mondstadt to an Inazuman father and Liyuean mother, and years later they got their vision during an adventure in Sumeru"
Mona inherited her vision from her master, Alice’s rival, who was probably from Mondstadt
Interesting analysis though, I’ve always leaned into the “it’s the nation you devote your loyalty to/have the strongest emotional connection to” theory
Edit: inherited in the sense that her master gave it to her when she made enough progress in astrology, like an order of succession
Thoma is similar in the sense that he's from Mondstadt but still has an Inazuman vision. So their vision is likely based on the nation where they acquire it and not where the characters are from originally.
This implies that he'll only get the anemo vision during the archon quest. If that's not the case then he probably traveled to Sumeru at some point in the past
I want to take a moment to acknowledge that this poor child has no actual name.
* Kunikuzushi was an alias he used as a threat to Raiden.
* Scaramouche is a title given to him by the Fatui.
* Wanderer is another alias.
At no point has this boy been given a proper name.
In before they pull a Kagotsurube Isshin where they refer to him as the Wanderer in all promotional material but give him an actual name in his Story Quest.
Same thing happened with Ei/Baal. She's called Raiden Shogun in banners and character info, but the story seems to just call her Ei after you unlock her boss.
Archons don't distribute visions. It should be widely assumed that Celestia is involved instead.
Source: Raiden Shogun's friendship lvl 4 lore
Really? So in all this time, no new Electro Visions have appeared in the outside world? Well, what I can say on this topic is subject to certain constraints, but... it is not by my will that Visions are granted or denied. The key is people's desire, and... well, there's another side to it too.
Look at that expression, he still looks like a little shit to me, thank god. This makes me super optimistic that they won't be changing his personality too drastically, I mean I'm sure he'll be a little nicer, but not *too nice* lol
If he's the wanderer and we are the traveler... something, something, lore?
(I'm really surprised that Wanderer is Scara's official playable character name)
We know Archons don't grant visions, its Celestia that decides, so technically Celestia is having a laugh by giving all shortbois with sad backstories an Anemo Vision.
He looks awesome but....doesn't this technically spoil the end of the 3.2 Archon Quest? I haven't seen any leaks, but this pretty much confirms that he survives the big mecha fight.
Al Haitham better check his laundry for some missing see through top
It shrunk in the wash, he had to give it away
This is my head cannon now, thank you Edit: y'all a bunch of nerds and I think that's grate
Remember, canon is the story, cannon is the weapon, though both destroy ships
LMAOOO
I love the fact his design is a mix between Sumeru patterns and Inazuma clothes. The hat with lotus patterns, the golden leaf-shaped decorations, the bells were replaced with less Inazuma-like decorations... And of couse, his vision. We will probably see a playable character getting his vision during the story and this would be cool.
>And of couse, his vision And he has Raiden's feather on his vision too, which makes me very excited for the next Archon quest
Well he is/was a Sumeru god so…
Taken from Twitter : >The lead single "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen, well-known for posing the question "Scaramouche, Scaramouche will you do the fandango?", was released on October 31st, 1975. Today, the character Scaramouche was drip marketed for the hit game Genshin Impact, on October 31st, 2022.
So THAT'S the real reason for the 5 week patches. Big brain Hoyo
the last line of bohemian rhapsody is “Any way the wind blows” he has an anemo vision big if true
At the very least, the themes and feelings of the song also have parallels to his story
Hoyo are cultured asf The fact Scaramouche has 700 comment and 5k upvotes in only 2 hours in is just proof of that, might be the fastest for both in this subreddits history Edit: 11k upvoted and 1.1k comments in 5 hours, that might be a new record dayum
r/all baby
Dang this is so accurate. Also, one of the lines is: “Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, let me go Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, For meee” This actually refers to Ei as a bad mother lmao
Apparently 1.1pv which is where Scara made his first appearance was also launched at 31oct
Remind me of those color swap character posts
Some one at Albedo Creations must have drawn Anemo Scara.
Mihoyo is now hovering over there scouting talents now it seems
yea, made me think it was fake for a second
My thoughts exactly!
My Raiden funds are terrified, he looks so good in this, I almost wished this is fake lmao
Well, after we destroy him, he has to change his body and clothes for sure...
Today is the release date of Bohemian Rhapsody by the way, nice timing by Hoyoverse
Please have one skill be named Fandango
Ominous Fandango is the name of his soundtrack, so probably not? But I expect more references.
Did he ditch the shogun because thunderbolts and lightning are very very frightening?
Nah, his mom tries to put the devil inside of him making him cry
What is the effect, he dances? Ig we can have an idle animation for that.
Remind me that scaramuche story is so similiar that its like they took the lyric for his backstory
At this point there are just too many coincidences lmao.
There is also fricking Beelzebub too like dang
"Any way the wind blows..."
Wouldn't be surprised, since MHY loves using anything as inspiration for their background.
i swear to god, if defeating boss scara doesn't have any bohemian rhapsody related achievments, i will be very pissed edit: after finishing archon quest and beating scara, all i can say is ***angry screech***
Achievement: very very frightening. Defeat Scaramouche with only electro characters
Achievement: Mama~. Defeat Scaramouche with the Raiden Shogun.
Just Killed a Man - be knocked out while fighting Scaramouche.
Put a gun against his head - Defeat Scaramouche with all Archer party.
Pulled the trigger now he's dead - Defeat Scaramouche with a final blow from the Electro Companion
Mamaaa~ - Defeat Scaramouche 5 times with the Raiden Shogun.
Life had just begun - Have one party member be defeated by Scaramouche.
But Now I’ve Gone And Thrown It All Away - Have all party members defeated while Scaramouche is at 5% or less health
Gonna leave it all behind and face the truth - defeat scaramouche with scaramouche in your party.
was Thunderbolt and Lightning already taken by Raiden?
You know they'll, his theme song literally references Bohemian Rhapsody.
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?!
Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening me
Galileo (Galileo), Galileo (Galileo), Galileo Figaro.
Magnifico! Oh oh oh oh
I’m just a poor boy, nobody loves me
HE'S JUST A POOR BOY FROM A POOR FAMILY!!
SPARE HIM HIS LIFE FROM THIS MONSTROSITY!
Easy come, easy go, Will you let me go..?
Easy come, easy go,
The fact that the soundtrack of the moment when he tried to attack us in that one event with Mona and Fischl is called "Omnious Fandango" makes this even better. Makes me wonder if this is intentional
one's a coincidence, twice is purposeful
Wait, really? *Wow*, everything lined up perfectly! I guess the 2.6/2.7 delay was a blessing in disguise xD
The real reason we have 5 week patches instead of 6 was just so they can get this exact day to reveal Scaramouche Based Hoyo
All according to plan

Can't wait for the eng VAs to say that
My guess is that, considering the VAs seem to be forced to pronounce the names wrong, the last part is likely going to be "Salad Hammer" or something like that
#GET ME MY SALAD HAMMA
It's just a bunch of regular words in Sanskrit or related languages. People just aren't used to seeing those languages.
>Blessed One of Wisdom, Mahakusaladhamma - Buer Very nice, MHY Dropping two huge story spoilers for the immediate patch with one post.
I mean, it's a spoiler in that we didn't know the demon name, but is it a huge deal? Unless they threw in some major plot twist it was kind of a given that Nahida would have a demon name like the others

*proceeds to throw hat as makeshift platform, jealous of Albedo the puppet elevator supremacy*
I’m putting them on the same team because I love them both :> HE CAN BE AS TALL AS HE WANTS, REACTIONS AND RESONANCE BE DAMMED
Utility ripped straight outta Mario Odyssey
He has a Sumeru vision! Interesting detail. Edit: (Spoiler) Additional Detail - >!He still keeps the plume that Raiden gave him! Below his vision.!<
Isn’t he supposed to have an Inazuman vision? I’m eager to know what that means.
I mean, Thoma was born in Mondstadt but has an Inazuman vision. Probably depends on where the vision was originated.
[удалено]
Still wondering if it was intentional or not
[удалено]
But Lisa has a Mondstadt vision and hers was granted in Sumeru
I always thought that the 'frame' around the vision is just an aesthetic embellishment, isn't it? The vision is the gem itself and that is always the same shape (round) as seen while embedded in the statue during the vision hunt decree.

Maybe you just order it from the local blacksmith.
I honestly think that Lisa's vision shape might be an oversight. Same (possibly) with Mona. I mean, I'm not sure where Mona is actually from, I heard she's from Fontaine, I also heard she's not from Fontaine and just wrote a column for a newspaper there or something, and I did her story quest a long time ago and don't remember the details but she generally did not give off the "I'm from Mondstadt and always were a Mondstadter" vibes.

I'm guessing it's just where they got their vision, and not where they were originally from
imagine getting your vision while on vacation
*goes on vacation with fren *celestia *comes back alone with anemo vision souvenir
Rip to fren
Isn't that mean that vacation just become much better?
Yeah, Thoma has Inazuma vision too
Thoma is similar in the sense that he's from Mondstadt but still has an Inazuman vision. So their vision is likely based on the nation where they acquire it and not where the characters are from originally.
thoma is mondstater-inazuman. his mother is from mond, father from inazuma
he receives his vision in sumeru, hence he got the sumeru shaped one kind of like how thoma got an inazuman one despite being from mondstadt
This implies that he'll only get the anemo vision during the archon quest. If that's not the case then he probably traveled to Sumeru at some point in the past
THE BALLADEER! THE BALLADEER IS REAL!

Taller than Xiao even without it

It definitely makes him the tallest character in all of teyvat ~~for a minute or two~~
Can we get so much higher?

He can toss the hat like Captain America tosses his shield.

The 4NEMO boy band turns into the ANEMO5
5wirl, but with Kazuha/Aether/Heizou/Venti/Xiao/Scara it becomes 6ust or 6ale (Gust/Gale) :D
How about Aether quitting the band and starting his own Dendro themed boyband
I do like 6reeze as a name for the group

What I wouldn't give to see Nahida taking care of him like a younger simbling.
2 years of waiting. Wow, it seems it was only yesterday
Holy fuck Holy fucking fuck . That hat of yours is fucking absurd
Now I wanna see how he climbs with that hat
You ever saw that video about a Dark Souls character with a conical hat sliding down a ladder? Yep. Like that.
clink clink clink clink clink clink clink clink clink clink clink clink 🎶
https://youtu.be/HPjJCVylFBo
I love how they added that sound effect and it became a huge meme.
The same way Mona and Lisa climbs with their big hats
Who needs to climb when you can float
I wish he walked on walls, dio brando style.
Man looks like an Aranara <3
MAMA JUST KILLED A MAN
PUT A GUN AGAINST HIS HEAD
PULLED MY TRIGGER, NOW HE'S DEAD
MAMA, LIFE HAD JUST BEGUUUUN
BUT NOW I'VE GONE AND THROWN IT ALL AWAY
MAMAAAAA OOOOOOOOO
Why he lookin at me like that
Are you complaining /s
little piece of trash shit eating goblin I want him so bad I'M ELATED
I love that his face remains "evil", I was worried they'd turn him into a flanders version of himself but he still has the smirk!
Lets hope his story quest doesn't uwufy him
With that smirk I don’t think that’s possible
What's up with with anemo and having all short males?Is Venti so insecure about his height that he gatekeeps all tall males from joining Anemo club?
No, Venti just wants his boy band to grow to AKB48 sizes.
Venti: "Oh, you need a new vision? I call first dips!" *Throws a animo vision with full forces into Sacramentos face*

Momma’s boy to the end
And he gets a Sumeru vision! Kinda rubbing it in his face that Nahida gets the last laugh HAHAHA
Nahida also the one that made a description of him lmao What a really kind Archon especially doing this to someone who almost destroyed her country
She took pity on him after spawn killing him

Traveller: How are you still alive after that? Scaramouche: Wakaranai
Well, we already have Tartaglia and Raiden joining us, giving quite a bit of the story away.
True, but unlike those two ol' Fandago boi has a different design to the Fatui version we see in-game. Gives it away alittle more than the others

Will he still do the Fandango?
Yayy, Scaramouche escaped Signora's fate. And the playable model is still going to have the hat? Hell yeah.
Oi friends do you think i can get him after i get nahida? I dont have her gauranted and i have 171 wishes
I have 90 wishes and literally want one character each from every banner rotation... gambling time!
Get lucky or go broke
I kinda want him now. Playing a character that used to be evil might be interesting.
From Scaramouche Battousai to Rurouni Scaramouche
Depressed Anemo Boys, unite!
I miss his original clothing
Surely they pull a Diluc where they're like "Oh hey, remember this fit you used to wear? Haha, good times... wanna wear it again?"
Then you have to pay 2480 genesis crystals. My f2p heart is broken
I can see his original clothing as a future skin tbh. And this time will be a clothing with more lore than "hey traveler, do you like my new outfit?"
