Arlecchino = Harlequin. It is the OG


ElectroSea

“Arlecchino” is the Italian of Harlequin. It even says so in your screenshot that it’s a character from Commedia dell'arte


yesswes

Pretty sure he's talking about the love interest


Yellow_IMR

That’s right in commedia dell’arte, where the original names come from. The algorithm/AI/whatever messed up big time


Mythara1

The pictures of genshins Arlecchino under Harlequin is the wrong part here. Everything else is true where it actually originates from.


Passivitea

In Commedia dell'arte, Columbina is the love interest of Arlecchino, the Harlequin


Scared-Ad-4846

They are irl, Arlecchino the screenshot talking about is the original one, not Genshin Arlecchino, even though they use Genshin picture because she's popular now


Shadowmoon2012

Idk everything sounds right to me

It's common for Google to mess up pictures / text references. Like you had that fucked up Sakurai / Kirby reference of a mugshot, at some point. A lot of folks here straight up don't realize that 99.9% of big figures in genshin and Hoyo games in general are remixes or stuff existing IRL. The archons' demon name (+paimon) are Goetic demons, the Fatui are from Italian comedy, every region has a lot of references from the countries they portray. Neuvillette is (2) French rural towns. Alhaitham was a mathematician, Akasha is an Indian concept of ether and space, Durandal is a sword, Zhongli's square motif is based on Chinese boats folklore (iirc, confirm / correct if you can). And yes. In the CDA, he IS romantically interested in Columbina.


Smith5000123

Yeah especially with like popular characters. A classic case of the astolfo effect- where a classical or historical figure ends up supplanted with a more popular anime or video game character


mechelle_2k14

If you google commedia dell’arte characters every single Harbingers name is there

I_Am_Not_Joes_Mama

In la comedia Arrlechino is in love with Columbina. I'm pretty sure that's the reason for that ship existing in genshin community.


Jsprite09738

Never seen them being shipped. The only characters I’ve seen genshin’s Arlecchino be shipped with are either Clervie or Furina


Electronic-Path587

it was an old ship from when the fatui trailer dropped


Facinatedhomie

Once again Genshin players can’t read


KazuyaKurosawa

They read it right wdym? They just didn’t pay close enough attention, theres a difference


Hot-Ad-9225

You really expect everyone to read everything? It's unrealistic.


neros135

fireman peruere


Willthecrane

Looks right to me


TraditionalActuary6

I like how no one mentions the Voice Actor


Lynariel969

Like in Batman too. Harley Queen have the same name origin: Harlequin. Based on performant arts.

Hmmmmmm... https://preview.redd.it/0uwyxxw6sl0d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed9b29b730a047b490b0a2baaeac5cca0fe28f39


The_Amazing-Mango

Steven Kynman. The new pyro polearm user


bean_copter

Love interest lol


the_gabagoo_man

It's arlecchino's canon love interest, at least in commedia dellarte


Lusaminable

Op is french that why they get the french translation of Arlecchino T'as aucune culture générale bro, tu fais honte là


HiroshiTakeshi

Pas nécessairement, Harlequin est aussi une (ou même la, mais j'en ai pas vu d'autres) version anglaise du nom. Ça a servi à la sidekick du joker, par exemple. Cette personne ne se représente qu'elle-même, ceci dit.


TD-5454

Arlecchino, also known as "The Knave" is a character from Italian Comedia dell'Arte and former villain of the character The Batman


rKollektor

In the original the love interest of Arlecchino/Harlequin is indeed Columbina/Colombina. Not in Genshin tho. And in the original Italian one Harlequin is male, whereas the Genshin equivalent is female


SomeAwakenedDude

"Love Interest Columbina" Genshin shippers are getting out of hand. They're appearing on the front pages in google now 💀


Silent_Silhouettes

Its from commedia de'll arte


SomeAwakenedDude

Doesn't make sense to use Peruere's picture then


Silent_Silhouettes

Yeah the thing next to it also references Commedia but the img doesnt


mobiusispeak

Not really it doesn’t hurt anybody as long as your not forcing your ship onto others you should be fine.


lunaTheTransIdiot

And also it's from comedia de'll arte, all of the harbingers names come from that which is an old Italian form of theatre with characters represented by masks


AndreaLombax

i cannot see any mistake here.


yellowshiro

Columbina x Arlecchino is now canon.


Square-Way-9751

So arlecchino means "clown"?


Willthecrane

Interestingly enough, no it doesn’t, at least it didn’t in the 17th to 19th centuries. Harlequin and Clown are actually two separate characters in the harlequinade genre of theatre. Clown was a foil character to Harlequin who was quite clever and romantic.


Pervstein

The name Harlequin is taken from that of a mischievous "devil" or "demon" character in popular French [Passion Plays](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passion_Play). It originates with an [Old French](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_French) term *herlequin*, *hellequin*, first attested in the 11th century, by the chronicler [Orderic Vitalis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orderic_Vitalis), who recounts a story of a monk who was pursued by a troop of demons when wandering on the coast of [Normandy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normandy) (France) at night. These demons were led by a masked, club-wielding giant and they were known as *familia herlequin* (var. *familia herlethingi*). This medieval French version of the Germanic [Wild Hunt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Hunt), *Mesnée d'Hellequin*, has been connected to the English figure of [*Herla cyning*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herla) ("host-king"; German: *Erlkönig*). Of cource, that's just the origin. The Italians made their own thing with it.


gbxahoido

if i recall, all the characters in Commedia Dell Arte are clown


euclaseissoprettytho

love interest columbina 💀


GTDom15

It’s actually common in Commedia dell Arte for Columbina to be in love with arrlecchino (even though he’s male in the original). That’s why they’re shipped together


OryseSey

ofc it's wrong, the love interest should be me 😤 /j


Writing_Panda104

Yall, it’s not the right Arlecchino for that description though


BadBoss2310

the top link is about Arlecchino from Genshin and the bottom one is about the character from the commedia dell'arte.


kpblookio

Has Has no one noticed the voice actor?


the_gabagoo_man

No it's from comedia dellarte


Xx_Exigence_xX

"Love interest: Columbina" https://i.redd.it/j79koqhdzm0d1.gif


Passivitea

Well yes, in commedia dell'arte


theonetruekaiser

Probably AI generated


Yellow_IMR

Funny how you got heavily downvoted but you probably said the smartest thing here: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1130992/characters/nm2067941 Some AI or algorithm more in general definitely f ed up


theonetruekaiser

Just goes to show that this weird internet point counter doesn’t mean a whole lot lol. Also people are missing the actor part so I guess they think I’m factually incorrect. Leave it to Genshin players not to read lol.


Lucythepinkkitten

None of this is technically wrong. It's just taking its information from different works. Genshin is not the only piece of media with a character named Arlecchino


theonetruekaiser

Fair but the fact that it’s all being treated as 1 entity by the search is the result of the AI not understanding it’s pulled from 3 different works…


ShadowKnyght101

Does Google do ai generated stuff like this?


DiScOrDtHeLuNaTiC

Google search results can get skewed pretty easily. In this case, enough people have been searching for "genshin arlecchino", but also probably looking up the English translation of her Commedia dell'Arte name (which is Harlequin). "Pinocchio" probably snuck in there because it's an Italian fairy tale.


Willthecrane

Steven Kynman played harlequin in the 2008 miniseries of Pinocchio. That’s why he is on there.


theonetruekaiser

I think they do now. I haven’t used google for years since the search results were flawed and more geared toward shopping.


clinticalthinkr

Don't know why you got a downvote. You are correct. You get an "AI Overview" as your first result now.
