A Lil Fatui Harbinger Rant (SPOILER)

Why do they keep getting culled T-T ??

>!Signora, Capitano, and Dottore's dead. Well Capitano's unresponsive at least let's leave it at that. Scaramouche is now a wandering scholar with a goofy ass name, and Columbina's the Welkin Moon.!< What happened to the cvntiest brigade in all of Teyvat T-T ??

I'm sad we're never seeing all 11 of them and the Tsaritsa in their full glory, with the winter coats and everything. I hope Arlecchino, Pantalone, and Pierro give enough chique for the rest of em.

When a group pick a fight with the rest of the world losing a few member is inevitable.

Grouchy_Gap452026-01-22 09:57

The rest of the world... Yeah right, when they spend more time destroying themselves that that fucking world you mean. How can someone wants to transcend fate and everyone of his colleagues just outright to kill him for just "doing what the fatui was supposed to do in the first place*"?

When a group is built not based on trust and loyalty, but based on using each other they bound to turn against each other sooner or later.

Grouchy_Gap452026-01-22 10:01

I mean, the akatsuki in Naruto didn't to that, while being also a group not based on trust and loyalty. But more importantly, they werent siding with the fucking hero, except one, itachi

Adblock_Only2026-01-22 10:06

Wow, a different group from a different franchise didn't do the exact same thing. Mind-boggling.

Riersa2026-01-22 10:13

> they werent siding with the fucking hero, except one, itachi

Are we just going to conveniently ignore Nagato? The leader trust Naruto in the end and revive everyone in Konoha.

Grouchy_Gap452026-01-22 10:18

They fought him, he died and got resurrected via edo tensei, it's basically the same as wanderer, he is no longer an akatsuki now that he's dead. He revived the village through death

Riersa2026-01-22 10:36

Bro Nagato already on Naruto side before his death, it's at the end of Pain raid arc. Long before the war arc.

Spieds2026-01-22 11:25

Didn't Orochimaru LITERALLY turned of Itachi cuz he wanted his eyes? Because of which Itachi needed a new teammate in Kisame

And didn't Hidan kill all his partners till he got paired up with Kakuzu, which didn't really fix Hidan's behavior, he just couldn't do much (TBH, been a while, might be mixing Hidan and Kakuzu for who killed their teammates but point remains that it was an akatsuki member)

And people already brought up Nagato that, in literal Tobi words, fcked over the initial plan by betraying him and trusting in Naruto

And if we're bringing up other franchises, didn't half of Espada (which majority of people first linked Harbingers to thx to the portrayal in Lazzo) in Bleach used to fck each other over?

20st_century_person2026-01-22 09:52

kinda off topic but if you ever watch some anime like naruto or bleach, villan group always die one by one like akatsuki or espada

Grouchy_Gap452026-01-22 09:58

The akatsuki die one by one, but still remains loyal to their mission and against the MC till the end with one exception (itachi)

Xirtie2026-01-22 18:23

Nagato, Konan, and Obito, technically too.

Nagato and Obito changed their beliefs after the talk with Naruto, and sided with him, mainly Obito, while Nagato reversed what he did. And Konan is only loyal to Nagato and seeing what he did, she switched sides to be with Naruto.

Itachi, the one you mentioned technically doesn't count with being "against the MC", as all his subplot is with Sasuke. But yeah, I get your point about him.

I'll answer this in a more general sense as to why it feels like cracks are forming:

Their work, background, or personal interests are naturally dangerous or invite the possibility of death. Some of them are bound to die or be harmed along the way.

It feels like the Harbingers as a whole never had a common or collective goal to truly aspire to. Most joined for personal reasons and only serve the Tsaritsa to a point before then pursuing personal interests a lot more (that can lead to harming other members). Is this immediately bad? No, because look what Sandrone or Capitano did. But all it amounts to is when your organization's members have personal agendas they focus on rather than focusing on a common goal, it's easier to get them into these situations where they get picked off.

Story-wise, it's an interesting direction. Of the 12, Capitano, Marionette, and Signora are dead, Dottore's whereabouts are unknown, and Scaramouche and Damslette have left. That's half of them gone. So long term it's likely going to make things more difficult for the remaining 6 just as the Traveler is about to go to Snezhnaya

Chai_pheebs2026-01-23 19:06

yes i agree it's an interesting direction, bcs wdym the strongest harbinger is not there anymore? also i feel more intrigued by the tsaritsa even allowing them to have such strong individualism when her goal is really ambitious

however with fewer members there's more opportunity to focus on pierro so i hope he gives the traveler a bit of trouble in the future

Xirtie2026-01-22 15:39

This is like fate of every "evil organizations". They are introduced to be part of the stories of the game, and for whatever they do, get consequences for it, and not meant be aura farmers who do nothing to the plot.

It's like complaining Akatsuki (Naruto), Warlords (One Piece), or Espada (Bleach) members are slowly losing members as the story goes on.

Even Archons are losing members (in some ways), so why this is only a deal when it comes to the Harbingers?

Chai_pheebs2026-01-23 05:26

because we never actually see them with the tsaritsa, and it took away my enjoyment of the story because i know when we got in a fight with them they'll either die or become buddy buddy with the traveler

also the warlords in one piece does not have a general director or a boss, so from the start i know they're strong as hell with their own unique interests, while the harbingers still have their interests while serving the tsaritsa too? i find that dynamic weird and its a shame we've never seen all of them work together before their numbers dwindle down, except if genshin decided to make a cutscene of it later in version 7.x

Xirtie2026-01-23 08:42

From the start, Harbingers are stated to be doing their own thing, and has their own agendas. So the chances of them working together is extremely low to begin with. As long as their goals don't clash with the Tsaritsa, they're free to move independently.

And Warlords do have a "boss", that is the World Government. Though in official manner, they mainly answer to the Fleet Admiral but just like the Harbingers, they have their own independent goals to do whatever they want, as long as the higher ups didn't find out.

Chai_pheebs2026-01-23 18:51

well yea ig, it's just unfortunate that the 1st and 3rd harbinger is out of the equation, and as for the 4th one idk i hope she somehow stands opposite us in snezh but i dont see that happening, so there's no sense of impending doom going into snezhnaya but we'll have to see
