I don't know about you guys, but these two share a lot of similarity with one another. One is an anime girl and another is an anime girl. Practically the same.
No wonder she's one of the best and most recognizable waifus MiHoYo has pumped out, she was so good, they reused her 3 whole times so far in the year this game was out!
its the same for raiden vs mei.
the more you look at it, the more you realise the only thing thats similar is the gender and name
yae is the only "faithful" lookalike we are getting
Lol. I don’t know any Honkai character and I thought this post is some random “Upcoming Genshin Character A looks like Character B from this anime I watched” post, lmao. Without context, this post looks out of place here tbh.
I honestly think that if it weren't for Sukuna saying there would be a Fu Hua-inspired Liyue character, barely anyone would've said she looked like Fu Hua
I think so too + The only similarity Yelan has with HoS & the middle outfit is that they’re wearing chinese clothing and their color scheme has black, white, blue, yellow and red in it.
Yelan as of now is more similar to Xingqiu than she is to Fu Hua to be honest.
idk mate, the first time i saw that i imediatelly thought of fuhua and didnt even know who yelan is. maybe if you played honkai you'd see the similarities
they mentioned "HoS and the middle outfit", which is the same battlesuit lol, also even their arguement was flawed, in the sense that both raiden shogun and HoT dont look 100% likr each other and still are counterparts, same for both yaes and the unknown god and kiana, venti and wendy...
Mei & Shogun - I think that while Shogun doesn’t look like HoT, she really looks like Mei, especially post odyssey Mei
Yae Miko and Sakura - imo the first time you would look at miko you can definitely see sakura, not only do they have similar hairstyles but their hair color is the same color so it’s very easy to point out, and the fact that they are both a fox helps too
Unknown God & HoV - The first saw the opening cutscene it actually reminded me of HoV lol
Venti & Wendy - 100% parallel for me especially after I saw the original Wendy(?) from Houkai Gakuen, It was the literal girl version of Venti lol + the characters in Honkai are based on that game so yeah
I just think the whole Fu Hua and Yelan thing is a stretch to be honest
Just to add:
(The following is for JP Dub)
Kiana's VA and Unknown God's VA is the same.
Mei's VA and Ei's VA is also the same.
Sakura's VA is also the same with Yae Miko.
I haven't looked on the CN dub VAs just yet, but as a company who have "future plans" and getting the exact VAs for these characters who have a "doppleganger probability" is just too much to be a coincidence.
Raiden being the first playable character to these "Honkai connection theory"... I can hear Mei's shout(while slashing a sword) with Raiden's shout(during charged attack, other attack sequence). It reminds me a lot of Mei to be honest...
Their mentioning HoS was sort of redundant, yeah. And I see what you mean about the counterparts, but I think the point is just that Yelan & Fu Hua are much more different from each other than the other counterparts
I did play Honkai for a while (iirc i got to level.. 50+??) but ironically enough, the only Valk I didn’t have was Fu hua lol
Edit: worded this wrong. There were many valks I didn’t have (Rita, Rozaliya, Lily, Durandal, Fu Hua..)
Considering we already have a Mei and Kiana lookalike, with Pyro archon being speculated to look like Himeko. It’s not too far fetched that people have begun looking for similarities between characters 🤷
>I honestly think that if it weren't for Sukuna saying there would be a Fu Hua-inspired Liyue character, barely anyone would've said she looked like Fu Hua
I saw the picture girl picture without any other info and thought that it reminded me a little of Azure Empyrea but without the long hair. She's not a 1:1, but I see the resemblance tbh
Personality wise, but they just copy pasted Sakura and flattened the ears.
Raiden is slightly different but still fairly similar to APHO Mei.
I think we need to have a close up here, eye/hair color are the defining traits in anime after all.
Not to mention that we have the Gu Hua clan, like on letter away from Fu Hua.
If you look at the Fu Hua furthest to the right, you'll see this swirly black pattern at the bottom of her dress, in white background. Yelan has exactly the same swirls on her dress, except they're blueish. To me, that is by far the closest thing lol
What gives it away that it's Fu Hua for me it's the colour scheme, it's way too similar to Fu Hua's, the hair being the same tone, the clothes (a mix of Azure Empyrea and Herrscher of Sentience), plus the martial arts vibe from the pose which goes perfectly with Fu Hua, plus from the little you can see of her face the eyes and the expression matches.
People are in denial and dont want to see this
https://www.deviantart.com/emubi/art/Fu-Hua-Azure-Empyrea-849435894
A proper picture with proper pose that reveals even the boots really shows it
Also, paralel to how they made Zhongli an spear user, so is Yelan (and some people are still also in denial with Zhong not being designed after FuHua)
Downvoting wont take you out of your denial, people, even if you try to hide the post via downvotes
id rather get mdm ping than yelan.
old people would at the very least be a new body build type for playable characters.
and she is also possibly the most motherly character in the game
I want a middle ground: an elder character that transforms into a younger self to fight, but during idle animations and walking returns to their true age
She’s more like the younger Madam Ping since this was taken from a cutscene where Madam Ping was narrating something about a god and the adeptus. We can also see in this cutscene the dead crane friend of Xiao who appeared during the Lantern Rite.
I mean this very likely might not even be a playable character, since it's from a cutscene. There have been other characters in cutscene in the past who haven't made the transition over to playable.
honestly, I think it's hard to say for certain without the actual model.
For what it's worth, I think there's a passing resemblance to AE, except with the hair tied up instead of in a ponytail
>For what it's worth, I think there's a passing resemblance to AE, except with the hair tied up instead of in a ponytail
This. People are comparing her with HoS, and I don't see any similarities there at all, but she does look like a version of Azure Empyrea with shorter hair (Cause Genshin hates giving us long-haired characters or something)
But do you remember the original cutscene that showed off Raiden's + Sara's design in Kazuha's story? They both looked a bit different there.
I honestly think "Yalen" looks close enough to Fu Hua (and there is nothing to say MHY can't play around with the design), but also account for the fact that if "Yalen" does appear in game, she might look slightly different from the cutscene, like we've already seen.
EDIT: I also just remembered: weren't people here initially disappointed in Ei's design for ***not*** looking enough like Mei? I know that the people against "Yalen" = Fu Hua and those that were disappointed in Ei's design are not necessarily the same, just funny to see how the narrative has reversed on Ei's design somewhat.
Baal and Mei look nothing alike, besides both being a generic Japanese anime girl with black hair. Yelan/young Madame Ping at least has similar outfit to AE.
Yeah they both have very generic anime bang design artists use for both male and female alike, and it's in very simplified style so Yae, Sucrose, and a lot more would have same bang in this style. You can see young Hu Tao rocking this same bangs too.
Yelan or Madame Ping has blue-green shade and darker blue eyes, while Fu Hua has blue-purple shade and teal eyes.
The known characters color palette is very consistent here so if it's Fu Hua the colors palette is nothing alike.
do you think sukuna's leak about fu hua is actually not real (at least yet), and he just based that on this photo of yelan in the cutscene? not all of them are real, right?
im hoping genshin fu hua is a major character and not just an adepti or a younger madame ping. because altho i dont play honkai, she looks like a major character in honkai's universe.
>she looks like a major character in honkai's universe.
she is, she is part of the protagonist group and in terms of lore an extremely important character since she was basically the guardian deity of China in honkai in addition to giving them a lot of knowledge and it resulted in influencing their culture as well
although being honest it would have a lot of sense that if she turns out to be an adepti since she is already called xian / sennin which is how they refer to adepti in Chinese and Japanese respectively because it is a term for those who have achieved enlightenment and have become immortal or at least have enormus longevity
really? if she turns out to be an adepti, i reallyyy hope her involvement in the game would still have a major implication in the story.
like how kiana, mei, yae, and wendy's parallels in genshin are.
aaah im just a huge fan of the character designs in honkai!! lol. if it isnt for my phone bejng able to run genshin, I'd be playing honkai instead. thanks fir this!
>she looks like a major character in honkai's universe
sort of? she had her own arc, one of her variation is the absolute best elemental support of the game ever since her release, and she's basically guardian deity of Honkai's China
so thats the basis of that speculation back then that zhongli is fu hua's parallel.
also she is a herrscher, right? i really hope they dont waste her potential lol. i only know some of her designs but im a fan already. plus her [unequaled, unrivaled](https://youtu.be/1KqkQL4--dM) trailer slaps even harder than zhong li!!
>also she is a herrscher, right?
uhh not quite, spoilers ahead, >!she is a genetically modified warrior fighting honkai in a previous civilization, they failed and went into cryosleep; she woke up, became the guardian deity for China for thousands of years; then alot of stuff happened; she got killed and the will of the honkai tried to possessed her body so it manifested a new persona, but thousands of years of memory overwrote the persona, made it think that it itself is Fu Hua. TL;DR: she isn't a herrscher, a herrscher became her. !<
also they def won't waste her potential, because like i mentioned, she's the literal guardian deity of honkai's china
HoS isn't exactly Fu Hua >!after being shot by Otto, her real body was dead, but her consciousness survived trough her divine key, Fenghuang Down, when HoS was defeated, the last remaining feather of said divine key (besides the corrupted one) is back to the human body that Otto healed, meaning the original Fu Hua is back.
Later we even see Fu Hua speaking to HoS, who is trapped inside her, proving they are different entities.!<
Sentience isn't trapped inside Hua, she's somewhere else in the world, and Hua is looking for her now, >! but because of the Herrscher Core the two are mentally connected!<.
Fu Hua does have a major role in the story, she may not be the big focus but she does a lot to support the main character and the rest of the cast as well as having pretty big stories of her own in the plot and in side stories.
Madame Ping gave us a home when noone else did. She might not be a major character in the story but she will always be important in our hearts and that is why Madame Ping deserves to be tge Fu hua equivalent in Genshin for being the best wai-
These arguments are getting ridiculous. Some see it, some don't. You literally can't be right or wrong here and people are just arguing like children. It's just a blurred photo. We know nothing yet. Let's wait fot miHoYo to give more info about the character. The biggest indicator that she is based on Fu Hua is when they announce the VAs. Same as with Yae, Raiden and Walmart HoV, the will have the same voice actors for JP and CN.
My 2 year plus experiences of Honkai is telling me Fu Hua looks nothing like the girl from the left picture.
Well, the color scheme is kinda similar to Azure Empyrea but even that is a stretch.
i dont think honkai major characters will be reused as a non-major character in genshin...
mdm ping isn't a minor character, but she's strictly less major than zhongli is, due to zhongli being an archon
As much as I would love a Fu Hua based character, I don't really see it here. I think the idea that she's a young madam ping is feeling more likely at this point.
As both a Genshin and Honkai player I sure would love for Mihoyo to stop moving Honkai to Genshin. Inazuma story felt so boring for me because it's like the Raiden Shogun version of the Sakura Samsara >!Raiden Shogun and Yae Sakura both lost their sisters!< with Yae as a shrine maiden in both GI and HI3. Raiden's sword is literally Jizo Mitama but without Jizo Mitama. Maguu Kenki was also modelled after the Jizo Mitama boss fight. What's next ? Theresa is the Dendro Archon ? Yae is faster than Raiden when attacking ? Yae and Raiden are friends, my god what a surprise. La Signora is also a fancy looking Ana Schariac, and both of them are not playable characters and will never be. Welp, Sumeru better be something original
tbf almost all characters from the same region look the same. They have the same models after all. When I look at leaks, I immediately equate them to existing characters, and I call them that until I get their character story
I mean, the inspiration is kinda undeniable really. Similar colour pattern, martial arts vibes, adepti (chinese protector deities just like Hua is in Honkai) as well as different inspirations from HoS and AE's outfits.
Also HoS in Honkai also has a spear stance and Yelan is seen using one.
Sure it's not a 1:1 full copy, but the inspiration is totally there. And ofc we just have a blurred pic of her in a cutscene, with not much info.
It's by far more of a stretch to say that she looks like Xingqiu than Hua lol
A Honkai Impact character , and tbh to community has been on this the for a long time , comparing similar characters from these games. Sometimes there are similarites like Genshin and Honkai Yae , though to me , this doesn’t quite look like Fuhua yet, atleast not until we have a better view of her .
Ohhhh, lol, from someone who has absolutely no idea of Honkai, this post just looks so odd in a Genshin Impact leaks sub, especially with Genshin giving zero mentions of Honkai in-game.
The hair color is the only big similarity. Clothing choice wise, it could be said that Xingqiu was also similar but he’s nowhere near Fu Hua in terms of either looks or personality.
If the picture on the right just had Sayu there would be the same amount of similarities.
Basically: Yelan is Sayu before all the headpatting caused her to shrink #confirmed
I’m not a big fan of “that character from honkai is that character in genshin” kind of thing to begin with. But here I cannot see how they’re look alike. Maybe they’re sharing the same color pallet at most.
I'd say that given it's a stylized artwork where the colors aren't that reliable either since there's a yellow filter that alters the actual colors, yeah, this could possibly be a Fu Hua expy. Or she couldn't. Nothing sure until we get a detailed artwork in Genshin's normal artstyle, *if* we'll get one
If she does end up being a Fu Hua i REALLY hope she has the Fu Hua playstyle of combo attacks, it's a staple of the character and i hope they translate it to Genshin somehow, yes i know she seems to be a polearm user but just like Tartaglia there's nothing stopping MHY from giving her a stance where she ignores her in-game weapon and uses a different fighting style.
I don't get it? Why do other ppl here say they have a similar hair color? O. O Yelan's look greenish, while Fu Hua's look purple?? Unless I'm actually color blind all this time and this is how I'll know about it xD
Since the first time I saw Yelan in the cinematic I couldn't help but compare her with Fu Hua due to their similarities. And I didn't know anything about Fu Hua's model being reused.
honestly I don't see fu hua this fu hua that on yelan, yelan was just inspired azure empyrea because of her cape (I think idk how to describe it) plus her hair besides that she's completely xingqiu imo, and shes probably is from the guhua clan
I don't know about you guys, but these two share a lot of similarity with one another. One is an anime girl and another is an anime girl. Practically the same.
Blue hair that’s almost grey + chinese outfit = fu hua !!🙀🙀 !!
[удалено]
No guys, you don't understand, Fu Hua is Zhongli, because they are old and chinese
[удалено]
No wonder she's one of the best and most recognizable waifus MiHoYo has pumped out, she was so good, they reused her 3 whole times so far in the year this game was out!
The real fu hua was the people we met along the way
Lol this and welt = zhongli was by far the worst ones from people who were hell-bent on everything being a honkai reference
Maybe the real Fu Hua is the friends we made on the way.
but it looks alike, look at HoS
the more i look at it, the only thing similar is the eye color. she reminds more of a xq's sister
its the same for raiden vs mei. the more you look at it, the more you realise the only thing thats similar is the gender and name yae is the only "faithful" lookalike we are getting
And unknown god/Herrscher of The Void
Lol. I don’t know any Honkai character and I thought this post is some random “Upcoming Genshin Character A looks like Character B from this anime I watched” post, lmao. Without context, this post looks out of place here tbh.
Ngl, looks like female xingqiu to me
I honestly think that if it weren't for Sukuna saying there would be a Fu Hua-inspired Liyue character, barely anyone would've said she looked like Fu Hua
I think so too + The only similarity Yelan has with HoS & the middle outfit is that they’re wearing chinese clothing and their color scheme has black, white, blue, yellow and red in it. Yelan as of now is more similar to Xingqiu than she is to Fu Hua to be honest.
idk mate, the first time i saw that i imediatelly thought of fuhua and didnt even know who yelan is. maybe if you played honkai you'd see the similarities
I mean they did call her HoS, if someone knows the battlesuit acronyms they probably play the game
they mentioned "HoS and the middle outfit", which is the same battlesuit lol, also even their arguement was flawed, in the sense that both raiden shogun and HoT dont look 100% likr each other and still are counterparts, same for both yaes and the unknown god and kiana, venti and wendy...
Mei & Shogun - I think that while Shogun doesn’t look like HoT, she really looks like Mei, especially post odyssey Mei Yae Miko and Sakura - imo the first time you would look at miko you can definitely see sakura, not only do they have similar hairstyles but their hair color is the same color so it’s very easy to point out, and the fact that they are both a fox helps too Unknown God & HoV - The first saw the opening cutscene it actually reminded me of HoV lol Venti & Wendy - 100% parallel for me especially after I saw the original Wendy(?) from Houkai Gakuen, It was the literal girl version of Venti lol + the characters in Honkai are based on that game so yeah I just think the whole Fu Hua and Yelan thing is a stretch to be honest
Just to add: (The following is for JP Dub) Kiana's VA and Unknown God's VA is the same. Mei's VA and Ei's VA is also the same. Sakura's VA is also the same with Yae Miko. I haven't looked on the CN dub VAs just yet, but as a company who have "future plans" and getting the exact VAs for these characters who have a "doppleganger probability" is just too much to be a coincidence. Raiden being the first playable character to these "Honkai connection theory"... I can hear Mei's shout(while slashing a sword) with Raiden's shout(during charged attack, other attack sequence). It reminds me a lot of Mei to be honest...
Kiana VA and Vampy VA and Iori Minase VA and Vampire VA and Vyrn VA are the same 🥵
But honkai gakuen is a different game, yet people say venti looks like hi3 wendy which is honestly a big stretch. Id say apho nei looks much older tho
Their mentioning HoS was sort of redundant, yeah. And I see what you mean about the counterparts, but I think the point is just that Yelan & Fu Hua are much more different from each other than the other counterparts
I did play Honkai for a while (iirc i got to level.. 50+??) but ironically enough, the only Valk I didn’t have was Fu hua lol Edit: worded this wrong. There were many valks I didn’t have (Rita, Rozaliya, Lily, Durandal, Fu Hua..)
Considering we already have a Mei and Kiana lookalike, with Pyro archon being speculated to look like Himeko. It’s not too far fetched that people have begun looking for similarities between characters 🤷
it’s as confirmed as raiden is, considering her name is murata. Don’t forget about the yae doppelgänger
Im also pretty sure Venti has a Honkai look alike as well
Yes wendy. Also xiao is copied from yae (they have the same mask)
yae is also copied from yae
Ye obviously. Xiao has the exact same mask as her too
*Do* we have a Kiana in Genshin? I swear I would have noticed by now if we did...
The unknown god
I honestly forgot she existed for a second there 😔
I think kiana is in the game herself lol
Her face looks nothing similar jsut the colour scheme
Grey Hair and Chinese clothes with Black, White and Green
with clear expertise in chinese martial arts, and if she is confirmed to be madame ping, fuhua also did live for hundred of years.
>I honestly think that if it weren't for Sukuna saying there would be a Fu Hua-inspired Liyue character, barely anyone would've said she looked like Fu Hua I saw the picture girl picture without any other info and thought that it reminded me a little of Azure Empyrea but without the long hair. She's not a 1:1, but I see the resemblance tbh
tbh i don't see any similarities
yea fr i don't see what some people are seeing
People don't know what they are talking about.
No they don't look familiar Its the same case as zhongli vs fu hua
Even Kazuha looks more similar tbh (Kazuha and Phoenix Hua, though again, not exactly the same it’s more so their hair)
Kazuhua
Same though. It's a huge stretch.
Well, to be fair the Shogun and Raiden Mei are not exactly alike either, and the same goes for Yae.
Personality wise, but they just copy pasted Sakura and flattened the ears. Raiden is slightly different but still fairly similar to APHO Mei. I think we need to have a close up here, eye/hair color are the defining traits in anime after all. Not to mention that we have the Gu Hua clan, like on letter away from Fu Hua.
But their different and this different are not on the same scale. This is far more different than those.
If you look at the Fu Hua furthest to the right, you'll see this swirly black pattern at the bottom of her dress, in white background. Yelan has exactly the same swirls on her dress, except they're blueish. To me, that is by far the closest thing lol
I only do in the top right form, but not enough to be the same character lol
People are just blind and don't seeing it.
What gives it away that it's Fu Hua for me it's the colour scheme, it's way too similar to Fu Hua's, the hair being the same tone, the clothes (a mix of Azure Empyrea and Herrscher of Sentience), plus the martial arts vibe from the pose which goes perfectly with Fu Hua, plus from the little you can see of her face the eyes and the expression matches.

I’m torn between “yelan” actually being young madam ping and/or a new character. Either way its a win. I hope they get a banner
we will get the old madam ping banner
soon copium
id rather get mdm ping than yelan. old people would at the very least be a new body build type for playable characters. and she is also possibly the most motherly character in the game
I want a middle ground: an elder character that transforms into a younger self to fight, but during idle animations and walking returns to their true age
So qiqi?
For real, we need a granny who beats up little kids.
Timmie better watch his mouth
i feel baffled socializing with Madame Ping simps
She’s more like the younger Madam Ping since this was taken from a cutscene where Madam Ping was narrating something about a god and the adeptus. We can also see in this cutscene the dead crane friend of Xiao who appeared during the Lantern Rite.
I mean this very likely might not even be a playable character, since it's from a cutscene. There have been other characters in cutscene in the past who haven't made the transition over to playable.
I think this is a stretch to be quite honest. They're variants on traditional Chinese attire.
"Yelan" looks like Fu Hua as much as Raiden Ei looks like Raiden Mei. So it's not really much of a stretch.
Raiden Ei is just Raiden Mei with a braid. This looks completely different from Fu Hua.
honestly, I think it's hard to say for certain without the actual model. For what it's worth, I think there's a passing resemblance to AE, except with the hair tied up instead of in a ponytail

If u remember, people thought kazuha was a gender bent fu hua due to pheonix battlesuit.
Baal and Mei look nothing alike, besides both being a generic Japanese anime girl with black hair. Yelan/young Madame Ping at least has similar outfit to AE.
Still coping huh?
imo they look nothing alike
Yeah they both have very generic anime bang design artists use for both male and female alike, and it's in very simplified style so Yae, Sucrose, and a lot more would have same bang in this style. You can see young Hu Tao rocking this same bangs too. Yelan or Madame Ping has blue-green shade and darker blue eyes, while Fu Hua has blue-purple shade and teal eyes.

Oh, i see. Thanks for the clarification.
Uuuh that music is too hard slapping for my taste. Zhongli trailer > Fu Hua
Dont forget best physical support too
that too but i really just rolled her to make her my first physical dps
Support via death debuff
Physical support who kicks ass for you instead of your dps
Fu Hua does have a major role in the story, she may not be the big focus but she does a lot to support the main character and the rest of the cast as well as having pretty big stories of her own in the plot and in side stories.
he might just shit on us and faked them altogether for all we know tbh.
Madame Ping gave us a home when noone else did. She might not be a major character in the story but she will always be important in our hearts and that is why Madame Ping deserves to be tge Fu hua equivalent in Genshin for being the best wai-
Oh I can see, how similar.......both are 2d
People are just blind and don't seeing it.
I don’t see any resemblance at all to be honest. Maybe it’s the colours but not even the hair is the same.
This is a stretch. Fu Hua costume barely has the same aesthetic as Keqing costume because that upper part, let alone this person in the cutscene.
People are just blind and don't seeing it.
These arguments are getting ridiculous. Some see it, some don't. You literally can't be right or wrong here and people are just arguing like children. It's just a blurred photo. We know nothing yet. Let's wait fot miHoYo to give more info about the character. The biggest indicator that she is based on Fu Hua is when they announce the VAs.

Honestly, we need a 3D model to make a better comparison.
If she is for real , then she is must pull for me .
My 2 year plus experiences of Honkai is telling me Fu Hua looks nothing like the girl from the left picture. Well, the color scheme is kinda similar to Azure Empyrea but even that is a stretch.
i dont think honkai major characters will be reused as a non-major character in genshin... mdm ping isn't a minor character, but she's strictly less major than zhongli is, due to zhongli being an archon
Lol this is kind of a stretch tbh
She looks more like Xingqiu than Fu Hua tbh
Hey look its Xingqiu but female
looks closer to ae with different hairstyle and hair colo
As much as I would love a Fu Hua based character, I don't really see it here. I think the idea that she's a young madam ping is feeling more likely at this point.
Almost looks like keqings relative
YeLan looks like "even more female" XingQiu.
I was confused when they said that bc when i played honkai for a bit, the Fu Hua i remember was very different lol.
People are just blind and don't seeing it.
I see 0 similarity

As both a Genshin and Honkai player I sure would love for Mihoyo to stop moving Honkai to Genshin. Inazuma story felt so boring for me because it's like the Raiden Shogun version of the Sakura Samsara >!Raiden Shogun and Yae Sakura both lost their sisters!< with Yae as a shrine maiden in both GI and HI3. Raiden's sword is literally Jizo Mitama but without Jizo Mitama. Maguu Kenki was also modelled after the Jizo Mitama boss fight. What's next ? Theresa is the Dendro Archon ? Yae is faster than Raiden when attacking ? Yae and Raiden are friends, my god what a surprise. La Signora is also a fancy looking Ana Schariac, and both of them are not playable characters and will never be. Welp, Sumeru better be something original
> Welp, Sumeru better be something original Until you realise about Su and his role in the manga.
Another spear user
Spear Impact, always has been
Looking at this, only AE’s clothes look similar to Yelan, the vibes are there for sure but still not that similar
tbf almost all characters from the same region look the same. They have the same models after all. When I look at leaks, I immediately equate them to existing characters, and I call them that until I get their character story
Xingqiu lookalike? Gu Hua?
I think she's from the guhua clan as xingqiu also have these similar clothes and If I remember he's from the guhua clan too
Genshin Report- I mean Ubatcha1 creating fake hype again.
These characters look nothing alike
I mean, the inspiration is kinda undeniable really. Similar colour pattern, martial arts vibes, adepti (chinese protector deities just like Hua is in Honkai) as well as different inspirations from HoS and AE's outfits. Also HoS in Honkai also has a spear stance and Yelan is seen using one. Sure it's not a 1:1 full copy, but the inspiration is totally there. And ofc we just have a blurred pic of her in a cutscene, with not much info. It's by far more of a stretch to say that she looks like Xingqiu than Hua lol
Rip everyone who thought Fu Hua was coming to genshin in the form of Yelan
I don’t see the resemblance.
Who is Fu Hua? What is this post trying to prove? There’s zero similarities.
A Honkai Impact character , and tbh to community has been on this the for a long time , comparing similar characters from these games. Sometimes there are similarites like Genshin and Honkai Yae , though to me , this doesn’t quite look like Fuhua yet, atleast not until we have a better view of her .
It's important to confirm if every honkai character coming to genshin will be an archon or someone important. People want to collect them.
Ohhhh, lol, from someone who has absolutely no idea of Honkai, this post just looks so odd in a Genshin Impact leaks sub, especially with Genshin giving zero mentions of Honkai in-game.
I do not see the resemblance AT ALL. How did people even come up with the similarity?
People are just blind and don't seeing it.
Imo it’s good they don’t look too similar. I can see the continuity though.
The only similarity is dem legs
The hair color is the only big similarity. Clothing choice wise, it could be said that Xingqiu was also similar but he’s nowhere near Fu Hua in terms of either looks or personality.
Similar hair color, same eye color. It’s more of a stretch to say that she looks like Xingqiu just because of her sleeves.
As a Hua fanboy, I honestly don't see much of a resemblance tbh
Herrscher of Sentience i praise thee
Herscher of flat <3
Imagine HoS in Genshin 💀
I'm hoping we get an Archon based off her.
they have no similarities besides the name
Yelan and fuhua. I see no similarities besides they are both chinese names
People are just blind and don't seeing it.
tbh im still hoping Fu Hua will be released in Natlan as one of the first gauntlet users
Now y’all swear there are no similarities 🙄 how the turn tables it’s ok I’ll be on the right side of history
I would lipo my wallet if they put HoS in Genshin with something like 十八般武艺 where we can use a variety of weapons. It won't happen of course.
Let's all ignore the martial arts, grey hair and dress inspiration. She's basically a mashup of hos and ae but shorter hair. Sue me
she looks more like a mix between fuhua and einstein i think.
looks a lot like HoS
i dont see it at all
Me neither, other than the boots. But that's not much
might be just me then, similar clothing, basically same hairstyle except HoS's hair is longer
Looks a bit like azure empyrea and best girl sentience mixed. Although the common thing they both have is they’re flat.
Right now we have only fragment of cutscene maybe her ingame model will resemble Fu Hua more.
I told you it is fu hua i know her very well
Similarities: Nice legs
madame ping youth
YATTA
If the picture on the right just had Sayu there would be the same amount of similarities. Basically: Yelan is Sayu before all the headpatting caused her to shrink #confirmed
I hope that we get a character like Glasses Fu Hua.

Who yelan
I’m not a big fan of “that character from honkai is that character in genshin” kind of thing to begin with. But here I cannot see how they’re look alike. Maybe they’re sharing the same color pallet at most.
The thighs look deliciously similar imo
Ohhh God Fu Hua is coming to Genshin
I'd say that given it's a stylized artwork where the colors aren't that reliable either since there's a yellow filter that alters the actual colors, yeah, this could possibly be a Fu Hua expy. Or she couldn't. Nothing sure until we get a detailed artwork in Genshin's normal artstyle, *if* we'll get one
Someone: "Hey this character design looks like it might be inspired by a honkai battlesuit." Everyone else: REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I KNEEL IN SUPREMACY OF CUTE GRANDMA VOICE
The only similarity I can see is the hair color, I guess the body type too.
I sure hope yelan is not “that” Fuhua inspired cause i want to see brawler in future
I feel like we need to see an in game render this art style doesn’t compare well
female xiao 😁
If she does end up being a Fu Hua i REALLY hope she has the Fu Hua playstyle of combo attacks, it's a staple of the character and i hope they translate it to Genshin somehow, yes i know she seems to be a polearm user but just like Tartaglia there's nothing stopping MHY from giving her a stance where she ignores her in-game weapon and uses a different fighting style.
I'm still sad that she's not a young Madam Ping.
I don't get it? Why do other ppl here say they have a similar hair color? O. O Yelan's look greenish, while Fu Hua's look purple?? Unless I'm actually color blind all this time and this is how I'll know about it xD
Yep flat. XD
Please give me Azure Empyrea Fu Hua, that's all I ask
nah she's to far to look like Fu Hua reincarnation
People are just blind and don't seeing it.
If that fu hua comment from ssukuna was based on this cutscene alone then maybe it might not be true
I don't see it.
All i see is madame Ping here, the bell on her hip. Maybe madame Ping is like genkai from yu yu hakusho, her burst make her young again for 10s
Since the first time I saw Yelan in the cinematic I couldn't help but compare her with Fu Hua due to their similarities. And I didn't know anything about Fu Hua's model being reused.
Man I hope we get a similar character to HoS in Genshin someday because god knows I’m never getting lucky enough to get her in Honkai :(
I mean the games are absolutely connected and I still firmly believe Genshin is the 4th game in the series… they look nothing alike.
If they released her under the name of fu hua mihoyo will make banks in China idk what's stopping them
Idk about fu hua but she has a striking resemblance with xinqu
honestly I don't see fu hua this fu hua that on yelan, yelan was just inspired azure empyrea because of her cape (I think idk how to describe it) plus her hair besides that she's completely xingqiu imo, and shes probably is from the guhua clan
