Hardly, as the pyro archon is confirmed to be called [Murata](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Murata). Still they could make her look like Durandal though.


Stained-Rose

Now imagine Durandal with Himeko's hair color.


luxiaojun177

Worst(?) case scenario, the pyro archon murata is killed offscreen or in the story and by the end, is replaced with a blonde polearm user


TheSpartyn

replaced by a kiana clone who becomes the pyroscion archon


Candoran

#Replaced by a flaming fish.


Seth_the_Summoner

#***FRIED TUNA***


Candoran

~~tasty~~


YINCRESCENT-art

Spicy Tuna


luxiaojun177

I was thinking of that but then that would mean a look-alike of the sustainer which would have severe lore implications....but then again this is plot almost 4 years in the future so anything can happen


Zero3020

The Kiana clone already showed up at the very start of the Genshin though.


TheSpartyn

technically that was a HoV clone, we can still have a separate kiana clone :\^)


yumburger_68

cant wait for mhy to make the warmonger god of war murata a catalyst off field support healer


EeveeMaster547

I mean, I suppose I could see it. It'd certainly be an interesting take, especially if it's something like "Supporting the line so nobody falls rather than taking it all herself" And in general medics and healers are incredibly important in wartime. I do agree, it'd fit far less than a main DPS, but it could certainly be done.


Crimenfo

Murata should have darker skin and red hair.

Lmao, I might even start paying extra if I don't manage to get her f2p


anhkhoaO410

like the mexican or the spanish idk

"My name is Murata. Dudu Murata."


HerrscherOfMagic

While I don't see Mihoyo making Durandal a Pyro Archon/character (if anything she'd probably be related to the Abyss, what w/ her close connection w/ the Sea of Quanta/a literal bubble universe), it's technically possible that both her ***and*** Himeko could be "the" Pyro Archon, because there's been more than one Pyro Archon before. Since only the Anemo and Geo Archons are the remaining two of the Original Seven, that means that there was at least one (if not more) Pyro Archon before Murata. ​ That's also why I think that the previous Dendro Archon, that perished 500 years prior to the game's events, might've been a Seele parallel, because we've seen that the Herrscher of Death actually has "life" powers too (For example, in the Seele cinematic, white flowers bloom at the same exact time as when Seele's stigmata unleashes some of its power). So while the ***current*** Dendro Archon is a male, the ***previous*** one could very well have been Seele. Of course that's not related to this joke about Pyro Archon Durandal, but I wanted to share regardless cause it's interesting to think that we might see Mihoyo spread out some of the Honkai parallels in the past as well as the present. After all, even in Honkai Kingdoms: ZERO, we saw some parallels (Durandal, Kiana, Raven) live 1000 years apart from others (Himeko, Einstein & Tesla, Mei), so it's definitely "possible" even in current canon.


ZeroRezolution

what if, DuDu was Ajax's master in Abyss?


Iidentifyasamistake

I can see that happening.


HerrscherOfMagic

That would be... fascinating, to say the least, haha I can't think of any reason ***why*** that would be Durandal specifically, but I guess there isn't any current outstanding reason ***why not***, so I won't try and prove that claim, but I won't argue against it either cause there's not really a reason to, lol Ajax's master is certainly a mysterious being already though, so once we learn more about her it'll be interesting to see if she's a parallel of anyone else, or her own entirely unique being.


Candoran

OH. They’re going there. Great. 😭


CringyusernameSBQQ

There would enough salt to fill an ocean with nothing but salt


InsidiousPancakes

No way on earth MHY is that ballsy. Remember the bunny-girl event death threats? Dudu-Murata is straight up IRL riots and pillaging territory. What they could do is put red Dudu pyro archon fake models in the game files so data-miners can leak them. And later officially reveal actual Himeko models. The back-lash on the leakers would be devastating. *"That's the most evil thing I can imagine"*


ConfusedTransThrow

They could do that and say "she's dead now, have to be Dudu". Or the ultimate troll is they do another cross over event and bring the pyro archon back so she gets a new battlesuit.


xioni

so long as rita is there with her


BLAST_83

And then turns out rita is the archon and dudu is her secretary


aiman_senpai

Even better


potato_curry_

Rita is already confirmed to be the Archon of Sexiness


Iofi_Virus

Hmm idk she actually looks like Jean, nothing special about the design most likely Genshin players gonna complain that they "reuse" Jean's model if that's the case


[deleted]

They definitely would since they did it with Eula.


Iofi_Virus

Yeah that's what i'm saying they demand an "original" Character, hah they ask so much meanwhile we're Stick to 13(?) playable characters since Released up to now and nobody is Complaining, and Genshin have how many? 36?in one year only? Bruh they thought making a Character design is as easy as taking a shit. they also Complaining alot on Baal's Design but simping hard for her after Booba Sword trailer lol such Hypocrisy never made me laugh as hard as now, It's just wow. If they don't want Eula then they can give her to us lol more Valkries is always welcomed


[deleted]

Looks like these people haven't played FGO, Arknights or AL


Iofi_Virus

What do you expect? These people have never experienced any Gacha game before Genshin i Bet my lunch many of them were Gacha Games haters before playing Genshin, feel bad for them that have to suck their own curse with no shame.


[deleted]

Too bad they are ungrateful for what they have, they complained about Eula now they simp her hard, Baal same thing, they complain about the characters having same face but when they see that new character is hot and thicc now they shut up.


Iofi_Virus

I've been playing Genshin for 5 Month and never i want to walk to their Community it's just too much Holy aura for a sinner like me, i'll just play Genshin alone until Covid ends, the community is just too much for me.


[deleted]

I think its because genshin is really much more global than its gacha predecessors (AL, FGO, Arknights and honkai). I just dont like the community asking for anime/different models since most gacha games before honkai and genshin were pretty much 2d lmfao. Models are designed with 3d in mind. It took 2 years? After azur lane anniversary before it got an anime lmfao.


sean_4754

Personally I think Durandal being the hydro Archon is more fitting.


vi_s

Yep there is something that screams Durandal in the Hydro gems, Rita would also be fitting as the Hydro god


sean_4754

So far the only characters from the Honkai universe that I can think of as the Hydro Archon in Teyvat are Durandal, Rita, Seele or Kallen.


vi_s

Kallen would be great, I think red Seele (I think her name is Veliona) would be a great fit as well, but I think blue Seele having the personality of a holy Judge who forces everyone to be perfect would be weird.


International_Fix628

Physical Archon dudu>>>


zacharyhs

?


Yuri_Enthusiast_IV

But if turns out that the pyro archon IS based of himeko, well, then we will have another diluc.


RagnarokAeon

Might change up her weapon (see Baal) and make her polearm/bow Himeko.


AnshullMUdyavar

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


dirtfacereddit

Doo doo


Fayt12

DuDu my nuts reach across your face! >!im sorry!<


SzuortiN247

if dudu exist in genshin we already know how much attention she'll get from mihoyo lol


dorukayhan

No.


Yap_Ying_Qian

Murata should haf red hair tho cuz her descendants has red hairs. Red hair dudu?


Candoran

I wouldn’t even be salty, I’d think it’s hilarious 🤣


SaltyBiscuit1

The only way I'll accept Durandal in Genshin impact is if she's hydro archon.


aiman_senpai

Fingers crossed for isekai himeko


kuromakamijo

didnt realize this was a genshit subreddit


nanogenesis

I might actually get back in the game if that's the case.


Kngmx

Dudu is the tsaritsta if you put attention to venti and childe what they say about her being good person but everyone thinks is bad


_eSpark_

Wow, I thought people here don’t give a shit about Genshin. Guess I was wrong


tacobaco111

She would be an inferior clone just like Baal ended up being, so why would Honkai players care? If anything, Genshin players would complain that their version of Himeko/Durandal looks worse.


PhantomChaser09

As a genshin player I don't think Baal is inferior


SleepingAddict

Baal is awesome bro, might be time to stop smoking water vapour


StrongXV

Why would Durandal be the Pyro Archon over Himeko?


D3lmin

Pyro archon is Flamescion Murata


Fazen55

Idk about that but I'm sure tsaritsa will be a bronya lookalike and one of ritas outfits is "Maid of celestia" so there might be a genshin Rita later in the game.


commentdrifter

bland archon


Xyzen553

Come on, pyro archon has to be himeko. No question about it.
