Dottore is getting killed in a VERY specific way at the end of Luna 4

Hello there boys and girls, I was a bit bored because I am sick so I decided to rewatch the special program and I think I have landed on a crack theory that I know how Dottore will end up.

Obviously we fight him and half the fanbase hates his guts but I think *we* won't be the ones defeating him.

What do I mean by that?

Well, indulge me for a moment.

In the trailer at the very end of it we see the shot of a massive explosion.

So what am I saying here?

There is one in Dragonspine, there is one in the Chasm, there is one in Sumeru and it's also the reason half of Sumeru is a desert.

Yes, I am saying that - #Dottore will be killed by Celestia with the final remaining Divine Nail.

Let me drive this home for you.

Firstly, we know from the end of the Shades trailer that HP still has one left.

Secondly, the fire is blue. Correct me if I am wrong but in almost 5.5 years of Genshin we've only known Flins to be able to create this type of fire, and assuming the color also the Divine Nails.

Thirdly, in that shot in Luna 4 there is a clear trail of light coming from above down and if you go frame by frame you can see the shading indicate that it comes from above downwards.

Fourtly, in the Shades trailer Ronova also said it is time we intervened. Remeber that he opened the firmament as well and we know from that trsiler as well that the Shades reside above the firmament, indicated by that shot of Ronova looking down towards Pierro. We also see the red there as the camera zooms down.

And to drive the point further home:

In the Luna 4 trailer Dottore says: *"The world is informed of the arrival of their new God."*

And what did Pierro ask us in the Shades trailer?

*"What is the price of killing a God? The God stays silent, as if the thought never crossed his mind."*

And the shot pans up to show us the final nail.

So yeah, I think Ronova is nailing his ass at the end of Luna 4.

Pics are like this because of Reddit formatting so apologies.

Crackhead maybe, but thoughts?

It is pretty likely that we will not kill Dottore, but the Shades. We do not even closely have the power it needs. So it's not that far off. Also, if the shades know about fate, they knew this will happen and hence it would explain why we got the trailer. It was to introduce the characters, with their models.

Honestly, watching a celestial nail do to him what Neuvi did to Childe(aka owned him so hard it wasnt even funny) would be cool as hell for the lore.

Dottore ain't dying he will somehow retreat but dying doesn't make any sense give how much of a mastermind he is . He directly challanging shades and phanes is a big thing. Dottore isn't the kind of guy who just ragebaits the big dogs of teyvats without a solid plan. He has a solid plan even if he gets defeated. Maybe phanes has to intervene now I don't think shades can work together really . tbh if it's just one shade dottore will not be defeated. Dottore is the best thing happened on genshin so far so he will be here for a while

"I left this life but I also stayed in this life."

Crack theory maybe, but seeing a nail just *slam* into Dottore would be genuinely so freaking hilarious.

Dudo mucho que lo matemos. El objetivo del Doctor es llevar a la humanidad a desatar su máximo potencial y trascender a la divinidad, sin embargo, aunque lo consiguiera, seguiría limitado a las leyes del mundo, por eso estudió a las lunas, para trascenderlas, sin embargo, su destino sigue atado al mundo, ¿y dónde exactamente? Sí, en el Irminsul. Quemar el Irminsul representa liberar a la humanidad de sus cadenas mediante un acto profano. Para mí, el Doctor va a escapar como la rata que es y en un futuro quemará el Irminsul.

I thought about that, but it's not just the nails that are blue, Columbina and Dottore's power is too, since it's based on the kuuvahki, which is also blue. You can see it in Act 6, but also in the Luna IV trailer.

Furthermore, with HP asleep, I don't know if it's possible for a shade to use a divine nail. We mustn't forget that they can only intervene if they follow the rules.

But that doesn't mean they won't intervene, just not directly. And tte one who I think is currently pulling the strings is Istaroth.

In my opinion, Columbina will succeed in defeating Dottore. Her powers are also blue since they are based on kuuvahki, and she is still alive. She has been teleported to the past, where she will meet the ancient moons. The goal is for these moons to remain on Teyvat, so that Columbina can stay too, because the world will not reject her. That's why when we purify the marrow of the iridescent moon, she calls Columbina, Hypo (for Hyposelenia), because she has already seen her, but Columbina doesn't remember because it's in two different timelines.

But this meeting in the past could have an impact on what is happening now, like the Sakura tree. That would explain why in her burst, Columbina has the three moons behind her but also wings, whereas in the current timeline, there is only one moon and she has no wings. She changed something in the past that made this possible.

As for what Pierrot says, I think it's Dottore's motivation: “Can we kill a god?” Dottore is a scientist who puts science and experimentation above all else. If he asks himself a question about a subject, he will do everything in his power to find the answer, even if it means killing or destroying a nation. For him, all of that is futile; only knowledge matters.

And when you look at what he's done so far, becoming a god by using the primary power of Teyvat is the logical next step. And that's also why he talks so much about experimenting with what he's doing. Because for him, that's all it is: an experiment.

Which leads me to believe that Tsaritsa and Pierrot are aware of everything Dottore is doing, but the other Harbingers aren't. Especially if we remember that before leaving the Fatui, Columbina gave up a large part of her power, and therefore the kuuvahki that Dottore had to use for his current experiment.

I'm fairly confident that is Pulonia's death, not Dottore's

natiewow2026-01-04 18:04

I think the pieces fall in place pretty nicely. Pierro talks about a specific male god, and there is no reason he would target a random one like Zhongli or Venti. The Divine Nail is obviously a Chekov's gun.

It could be just a ploy to... deprive Celestia of their final Nail? Provoke the explosion to do... something? Who knows. For all we know, another segment of Dottore could have orchestrated all this (we've seen him sacrificing his segments before).

Whatever happens has to advance the plot. Just like before, when we technically won but lost the Gnosis, this could very well advance the Fatui's goals.

Jilanow2026-01-04 18:15

Dainsleif also has blue fire, but your theory sounds very funny to see happening.

E17Omm2026-01-04 18:26

Having Dottore be killed by a Nail and having the Heavenly Principles waking up from Dottore just trashing on its supposed laws or whatever would be sweet ngl.

Neospanner2026-01-04 19:06

Celestial Nails are not weapons, and they have never been used as weapons. They are vacuum cleaners for Abyssal energy. Deploying them caused a lot of collateral damage, but the damage was not the intention of dropping them, just an unfortunate side effect.

If Celestia is involved in defeating Dottore, it won't be by dropping a vacuum cleaner on him.

OutsideIntropid17642026-01-05 04:05

Honestly I think that people forget that the Nails' primary usage is to cleanse Abyssal filth, not deliver punishment.

If the Nail is used in this case, that'd be quite strange. I feel that if the Shades do intervene, they won't be using a nail.

Dawyken2026-01-06 02:24

I don't think it will happen, but something that supports the theory and was repeated in this patch is that Teyvat is surrounded by the Abyss, which is constantly trying to enter. Alice and Nicole are dealing with that throughout the entire patch. Dottore opens the biggest hole in the sky we've ever seen; it will probably have consequences. Maybe a nail? If the nail system is automatic, it could be.

ibeeeeeechan2026-01-05 06:59

Don’t think this will happen but it would be hilarious if Dotorre was in the middle of his grand villain speech and then he just gets flattened by a Celestial nuke lol

Successful_Benefit982026-01-09 02:56

In my opinion he might die because maybe Pantalone will be the next big antagonist. I can't believe that Dottore can advance the plot in Snezhnaya, And having 3 evil Fatui all at once will be a bit too much most likely even if I think that Pulcinella will help us for his own benefit while Pantalone will be the next major antagonist.

PriorityFlaky95292026-01-10 05:44

I think Arlechinno will be sad because she doesn't get to do it

But will join in the applause of fans and characters alike when it happens
