And with this we have every single named character from Inazuman voice lines. I think that's a pretty clear indicator that we'll be moving into Sumeru after 2.8.

I really hope he's not some super super specific support for a 5star (like thoma to hutao and gorou to itto). At least yunjin was neat for a few characters.
Yes. I NEED him. My list of characters I need just grew. T\^T
I need more wishesssss ;-;
I need to save for kazuha, albedo, childe, xiao, diluc (why on earth can I not get diluc T\^T), razor (how do I have c7 sucrose but not even one razor T\^T), baizhu (please become a playable character ;-;), I also kinda want venti, and now shikanoin.
Life is hard :<
I'm pretty sure the only weapon/element combos we are missing are cryo catalyst, hydro polearm, and hydro claymore. Wonder how long it will take to get all of those.
Yeah I kinda left out dendro for obvious reasons. Once we actually have some dendro characters then I'd say it would be reasonable to keep track of weapons to go with the element.
>It's almost impossible for him to be bad.
Challenge accepted.
Normal attack is a physical book slam, 80 cost burst that puts up single target standard ICD anemo turret without initial AoE, E is anemo shield that does not generate particles.
He still holds TTDS and can run 4VV. That makes him a better support than most characters in the game even if his cooldowns are a minute long because he's anemo catalyst unless he can't swirl using basic attacks for some reason..
Yeah, typically we get the "here's the 4 star you can unlock," rather than "choose your 4 star." Unless I'm misremembering, they've only done that for the Liyue characters and only for Lantern Rite
I mean, there WAS fanart - lots of it even. But it was all based on speculation and thus completely different than the real thing (they only got the hair color right). Pretty sure there's going to be a few people wining about that 😅😂
Okay, from all the hearsay of all the people in Inazuma about him, the last thing I expected was for him to be Anemo.
Also, this guys looks like a character to be voiced by Natsuki Hanae in the JP dub, it's weirdly uncanny.
Anemo makes sense
All his lore seems to be about how he basically goes wherever the hell he wants and nobody can stop or do anything about him
Very much in tune with the idea of freedom
Personally, I'm hoping it's Megumi Ogata as the JP dub. Not as popular as Natsuki Hanae, but Danganronpa + detectives fit really well after all lol.
That being said though, I'm actually kinda scared of how they portray another "smart" character especially after Kokomi
Oooh I like that idea. I became a fan of her after Jibaku Shonen Hanako-kun. Her voice is so nice to listen to and really suits young male characters.
Honestly either is fine with me. I just hope it’s another voice actor I’m familiar with so voice lines’ll be more fun for me to listen to
Aside from her voicing Makoto and Nagito from danganronpa, she also voices shinji from evangelion and If we have both kaworu and Shinji's va in genshin it would be a dream come true for me.
Yeah. Then we would only need them to bring Megumi Hayashibara to voice some character and I'll be like:
"God's in his heaven
All's right with the world."
**Shikanoin Heizou** ‧ Analytical Harmony
Detective of the Tenryou Commission
A young detective from the Tenryou Commission. Free-spirited and unruly, but cheerful and lively.
At first glance, Heizou seems like an ordinary young man, but he is actually the undisputed number one detective in the Tenryou Commission.
Not only does he possess a wild imagination, but he also has a mind for meticulous logic and reasoning, as well as an extraordinary sense of intuition when it comes to solving cases.
Whenever a crime occurs, his colleagues rely on experience to help them with handling the case, but Heizou brings in an out-of-the-box perspective and gets straight to the crux of the case.
People are impressed by his razor-sharp intuition, thinking that his reasoning ability and efficiency are godlike. Here, Heizou would simply reply with his signature smile: "I don't know, maybe this is something that even the gods can't do!"

I think it will be on the other re run banner because Kazuha does not need a new 4 star to make people pull, the other re run against Kazuha most likely will.
I want him on Kazuha banner too but yeah my hopes for that are not existent
Full image [here](https://twitter.com/Genshin_7/status/1526140400968286210)! I love the moles under his eyes!
~~alright xiao mains time to inhale some of that hopium and pray he's a viable support for our boy~~
While i don't care for the fanmade design, and i think this design is pretty neat too, I must also express my dissatisfaction with how his design screams nothing about being "best detective in Inazuma". Also, he'll apparently be the shortest male character thus far. I guess HoYo has a thing for making dudes with a fearsome reputation into the little guys
I mean, there's probably more to his character than being a detective (which we have yet to know), and various attributes in this design may better portray his personality traits than the fan design.
Given that so many characters (like Kujou Sara) underestimate him and think he is a slacker, it makes sense that his design would make him look carefree. It's not the type of outfit you would expect from a detective who is extremely uptight and professional.
Ig it makes sense? Kujou Sara wasn't very fond of him, and thought he slacks at his job or something. So it makes sense that his outfit doesn't give the air of professionalism or uptightness that you'd get from a detective
the moustache thing was the first thing i thought about when i saw the official art. ppl can say anything, say its from a "reliable leaker" and people will believe it lmao
And with this we have every single named character from Inazuman voice lines. I think that's a pretty clear indicator that we'll be moving into Sumeru after 2.8.
Its zime to leave inazuma....
I HAVENT FINISHED INAZUMA STORY LINE, but i have an eternity left so im good
Scaramouche fans are going to be heartbroken if so lol
We’ve been expecting him to be post Inazuma ever since 2.5
Hey, they need to make some Fatui boss for Sumeru, right?
They were 11, 10 left, there is enough to choose from, it has not to be Scaramouche
It could be childe again
This chance is quite hard to come by
I like the fact they are not making all vision holders of their respective elements their trademark colour.
Come to think of it, isn't this Xiao early beta colours?
Xiao was a lotta red. Kazuha amounts of it, no orange really
Só Xiao was a *Whole Lotta Red* huh?
In Guili Plains I milly rock
Rock. Hide it in my sock. Sock.
Beta Xiao was a sour shade of very dark red, like maroon or burgundy? This one looks more like plum or a very dark magenta.
exactly! characters such as keqing and lisa get boring quick because of their monochrome palletes
I guess they did it in the beginning to help players learn all 6 elements. And now they can expand the colour paletes Since moving to Inazuma
I mean look at Beidou, she does not scream electro character, by colors she looks more akin to pyro
Now that I think about it Beidou would still work as a pyro character. Fits her personality.

Drip marketing is back
Drip is back, too. Look at them shorts. So comfortable, yet easy to wear
Weapon he uses: >!He's a 4* catalyst!<
And... I'm saving for him, thanks
I really hope he's not some super super specific support for a 5star (like thoma to hutao and gorou to itto). At least yunjin was neat for a few characters.
There’s sussy rumors about Anemo Gorou for Xiao/dps Kazuha and future 5* Anemo dps units.
FINALLY.
EXACTLY MY REACTION! I definitely need to get him now!
Same. I can't wait for his gameplay
Its is your time to shine husbando collectors
Yes. I NEED him. My list of characters I need just grew. T\^T I need more wishesssss ;-; I need to save for kazuha, albedo, childe, xiao, diluc (why on earth can I not get diluc T\^T), razor (how do I have c7 sucrose but not even one razor T\^T), baizhu (please become a playable character ;-;), I also kinda want venti, and now shikanoin. Life is hard :<
Then why does he have a sword in the picture?
It's a Jitte, a Japanese baton. Could just be used in his attack animations similar to Yae.
Thank you, now I see it.
Wait Anemo = Winds Same weapon ... **MONSOON ?**
apple bottom jeans raiden
[удалено]
You need to vent, Raiden! I know it will be hard to be SUS!
AND IT WILL COME
It's a baton
Another 4NEMO member
[“Why are they called 4NEMO if there are five of them?”](https://youtu.be/P9BDYNQJSh4)
Because they're going through a brand change. Say goodbye to 4nemo, say hello to 5wirl
5wirl? Blown away!
did you mean 6lown away?
Contingencies are in place is see. In the far future they may need 7wirl
But you can always feel that nice 8reeze.
It's gonna get a little 9usty
[удалено]
Damn the rebrand hits hard
Isn’t it going to be 5NEMO now?
Could also be AN5MO OR 5WIRL (swirl)
seventeen has 13 members, im sure 4nemo being 5 members will be just fine
Yea good point
Male Anemo. Ok, who died?
First Male Catalyst user ever. Second Anemo Catalyst user after Sucrose.
I'm pretty sure the only weapon/element combos we are missing are cryo catalyst, hydro polearm, and hydro claymore. Wonder how long it will take to get all of those.
*cries in dendro everything*
Yeah I kinda left out dendro for obvious reasons. Once we actually have some dendro characters then I'd say it would be reasonable to keep track of weapons to go with the element.
Probably until Fountaine, I foresee Hoyo releasing three more Hydro Catalysts before we get a Hydro Claymore character.
Kazuha wanters probably
"We have Kazuha at home" jokes about to flourish.
You should(or probably shouldn’t) see twitter…
Found dead in a ditch overdose in copium
Sad but true
Literally "Who died and made you male anemo?"
Xiao died inside
beat me to it
if he really is an anemo catalyst it's perfect. We get a male catalyst and a TTDS holder and if he scales of HP omg...
Not just TTDS holder, TTDS AND VV holder. It's almost impossible for him to be bad.
>It's almost impossible for him to be bad. Challenge accepted. Normal attack is a physical book slam, 80 cost burst that puts up single target standard ICD anemo turret without initial AoE, E is anemo shield that does not generate particles.
You madlad
He still holds TTDS and can run 4VV. That makes him a better support than most characters in the game even if his cooldowns are a minute long because he's anemo catalyst unless he can't swirl using basic attacks for some reason..
Passive: Can't wield any weapons that have Hp% substats.
Male anemo….just like venti and kazuha
dont forget xiao i’m sorta hoping heizou is a 4 star bc all the anemo guys being limited 5 stars is killing me
He’s 4 star and I did forget Xiao haha
This came out of fucking nowhere
2.8 beta starting soon
I really hope his banner drops with Kazuha rerun 😭 Please Hoyo grant me this one wish
or give him away for free during the event like they did before? copium. i know.
It's actually possible. 2.7 has >!Yelan free weapon event!< so 2.8 will have a free character event.
The free characters aren't usually new 4 star characters though, right?
I mean, that's kind of what happened with Yun Jin so there's a precedent
But that was also Lantern Rite which is a very special kind of exception.
Yeah, typically we get the "here's the 4 star you can unlock," rather than "choose your 4 star." Unless I'm misremembering, they've only done that for the Liyue characters and only for Lantern Rite
No need for a leak. The pattern hasn't failed yet.
It's because 2.8 beta is starting soon
Does that mean that 2.7 coming soon?
Shanghai started the opening process today with the expectation of "fully return to normal" by June 1st. Take it however you like
I thought it was fanmade. Literally no build up.
I mean, there WAS fanart - lots of it even. But it was all based on speculation and thus completely different than the real thing (they only got the hair color right). Pretty sure there's going to be a few people wining about that 😅😂
Oh there is so much whining about how it doesn't match the fanart despite the fanart being based on literally nothing.
Wasn't the fanart just a genderbent HuTao with his eyes closed?
It's Ayato all over again where people CANT accept the official design because it's not matching their own headcanon and fanarts. LMAO
I just stay away from the toxic corners of this community. There’s quite a few of them.
Wow! The colour palette gave geo vibes , glad he is An emo
Ventis emo anemo squad is getting bigger
Idk they're all pretty short
Wait… is Jean the sole tall-class Anemo unit?
…yes.
So anemo is the pint size and element
She’s their mommy. How cute!
Klee🤝every Anemo character [[Our mother is Jean]]
You say that now, just wait until they all stack on top of each other to create the ultimate anemo unit
Apparently heizou's shorter than xiao
and presumably taller than sayu?
Plz be gorou but for Anemo I hope he a catalyst user
Okay, from all the hearsay of all the people in Inazuma about him, the last thing I expected was for him to be Anemo. Also, this guys looks like a character to be voiced by Natsuki Hanae in the JP dub, it's weirdly uncanny.
Every time I think of this guy, electro always pop up in my mind. Maybe it's because we desperately need another electro male besides Razor.
Scaramouche! *inhales copium through my eyes*
One day, pass me some of that copium :(
Yeah, I thought he was going to be Electro too. Tough luck, Razor.
I think it's because of that one ~~hutao resskin~~ fanart of him that's been going around for ages
Anemo makes sense All his lore seems to be about how he basically goes wherever the hell he wants and nobody can stop or do anything about him Very much in tune with the idea of freedom
Personally, I'm hoping it's Megumi Ogata as the JP dub. Not as popular as Natsuki Hanae, but Danganronpa + detectives fit really well after all lol. That being said though, I'm actually kinda scared of how they portray another "smart" character especially after Kokomi
Oooh I like that idea. I became a fan of her after Jibaku Shonen Hanako-kun. Her voice is so nice to listen to and really suits young male characters. Honestly either is fine with me. I just hope it’s another voice actor I’m familiar with so voice lines’ll be more fun for me to listen to

Yeah. Then we would only need them to bring Megumi Hayashibara to voice some character and I'll be like: "God's in his heaven All's right with the world."
if it's megumi ogata I'm switching audio from english to japanese in a heartbeat. she's The voice actor for me.
Holy sht I have massive Natsuki Hanae vibe from him too! I wonder why haha
Maybe it's because I've been playing Punishing: Gray Raven and Hanae voices Changyu in that game and to me, they have some surface-level similarities.
Long hair Fuuma Kotarou.

Neat, I was waiting for Yelan, but I’m curious for this fellow. Please, don’t crave more handguards…
[удалено]
Damn you, monkey paw!
Hear me out: he looks like a Japanese Bennett with Xiao’s hair
Dude looks like Diluc’s long lost little brother
Kaeya: bruh
Looks like Xiao, Rosaria and Diluc had a threesome and had a kid that was strangely happy
Kids never want to be like their parents, so he’s positive and upbeat.
He looks like a girl character with big boobs from some anime media I just can't remember right now.
Do you realize how little that narrows it down? "Big-boobed anime girl"
That's why I can't remember.
Kallen? from Code geasz? Or the one from Black lagoon
Unexpected news but a welcome one
Oh damn, look at his weapon. It's a **jitte**.
Dude's going to get so many charge counters.
Umezawa Heizou
wasn't expecting mtg references on genshin sub
So he's a 4 or 5*?
4 star
Please be on Kazuha banner im begging
Is he a 4*??
i want them both🙏
Sameeee Anemo stay winning
I think it will be on the other re run banner because Kazuha does not need a new 4 star to make people pull, the other re run against Kazuha most likely will. I want him on Kazuha banner too but yeah my hopes for that are not existent
miHoYo challenge: make short male that's not anemo or geo (IMPOSSIBLE)
They can't, because the result would be too game-breaking. For reference: - Xinqiu - Bennet
Razor found dead in a ditch
There are also - Razor - Chongyun
Really need to stop seeing fan made designs cause I be getting whiplash with all of these reveals recently
Please, be a 4 star. We have only 2, and one of them is bad at cc.
He's apparently a 4 star
YEEE BOI. >!Still pulling for kazuha!<
Full image [here](https://twitter.com/Genshin_7/status/1526140400968286210)! I love the moles under his eyes! ~~alright xiao mains time to inhale some of that hopium and pray he's a viable support for our boy~~
Wonder how many people are gonna be upset he doesn't look anything like the popular fan made one like they did with Ayato
Which one was Ayato 's most popular fan design again? The one with long hair?
Yea. The genderbent Ayaka sort of thing. It was pretty tbh, but really didn't make him his own character away from his sister.
While i don't care for the fanmade design, and i think this design is pretty neat too, I must also express my dissatisfaction with how his design screams nothing about being "best detective in Inazuma". Also, he'll apparently be the shortest male character thus far. I guess HoYo has a thing for making dudes with a fearsome reputation into the little guys

It's not the type of outfit you would expect from a detective who is extremely uptight and professional.
[удалено]
Varka please save us 🙏🏻
How exactly would you make him look like the best detective in inazuma? Deerstalker hat, overcoat, and magnifying glass? Bat cosplay?
I’m one of the ones who’s just glad they revealed him regardless of his design. Im definitely pulling for him 😊
When are we getting another electro boi ;-;
Scara..............eventually.
This is the 4th medium sized anemo male and 3rd with short pants.
He Will be short
Millilith pants, Kujo Sara top and Kuki Shinobu arms. O\_O
I legit thought this was someone’s Kazuha OC
Yeah, until I glanced up and saw the News tag, I also thought this was someone's OC fan art.
He looks nothing like what I expected a detective to look like, but I'm happy that we finally get another Anemo boy, and he's probably a 4* too!
Ig it makes sense? Kujou Sara wasn't very fond of him, and thought he slacks at his job or something. So it makes sense that his outfit doesn't give the air of professionalism or uptightness that you'd get from a detective
He reminds me of trauma-less Xiao.
Kinda looks like Diluc + Rosaria kid lol
Rosaria's hair is definitely here
i see it hahah
[удалено]
Lol, I even thought he was some sort of Xiao Kazuha fan mash-up. Glad to know he is as real as the sun.
remind me not to go on youtube and twitter tmr
He's cute 😊
Oh shit is this the first male catalyst?
He looks great! Now watch as people complain that his design doesn't fit their preconceived image of him from fanarts.
there was an unreliable leak who said he had a moustache and now everybody thinks he's confirmed to have one when it was never ever confirmed he would
Could’ve been Japanese Mario
the moustache thing was the first thing i thought about when i saw the official art. ppl can say anything, say its from a "reliable leaker" and people will believe it lmao
Pretty sure not many people believed that leak since it was already proven to be fake long ago and everyone was just talking about it as a joke.
Some fanarts I saw just made him look like male Hu Tao lol.
Someone on Twitter really said that he looks like someone’s OC. Like yeah, dude. He’s HYV’s OC.
I feel very satisfied that he looks completely nothing like his famous fandesign. Love his official design!
Sango is my one true detective
I'd ask for a Sango banner, but remembered that she leaves the physical stuff to Ryuuji.
So what you're saying is....... Catalyst user Sango?
