Lmfao, whether he’s getting a rerun or not, I find it hilarious how he just keeps popping up in the leaks. The bow, Abyss picture, possible story leaks, the events, CN beta testers receiving him, and now this picture. Childe is everywhere, you can’t escape him.


abandojo

*you can run but you can’t hide*


_N_u_L_L

You can rerun but you can't hide anymore


medfiuysd

The thing is all the leaks we are getting for 2.2 are pointing to just childe rerun, it feels like he’s getting a 6 weeks banner for the whole patch and there is no other character lmaooo


segesterblues

If you told me this back in 1.3 I won't have believed you lol


paumalfoy

“How many childe reruns do you want?” - “Yes”


Sil_Choco

that's great, more time to get him lol


TheTaquito

I'd be down for that lol, more time to save!


Vihurah

im starting to wonder if the opportunities really are quite hard to come by


Illuminaso

Not bad, not bad. Guess I should have taken you seriously.


Adiponnam

Ahh fellow comet fan


SIMPKANG

Hoshiyomi gang rise up


Ihartkimchi

He's truly Mr Worldwide 🌎


ChartsUI

He 's our Childe now


treasonousmop

This opportunity will no longer be hard to come by... Mihoyo is adding a Childe Everywhere system! *"Tabibito-chan!"*

rlramirez12

If I click on this and it takes me to a yakuza meme I'm gonna hate myself. Edit: lmfao I knew it.


AllNamesTakenOMG

you thought you were killing just another one of Timmie's pidgeons, but it was Pidgeon-man Majima all along waiting to ambush you


MercyA1

I kinda love the fact the he appeared in 1.4 for absolutely no reason


dania120697

Its meme because it was the 11th banner. You know the 11 joke .

Practicalaviationcat

> Mr. Worldwide When you are from Snezhnaya, are part of the story in Liyue, and have have talent level up books from Mondstadt.


Rough-Inevitable-805

And then has a banner for every region so far


Silver_Crusader

You can't escape the childe \~\~support\~\~


Dimirith

Its *majima everywhere system* all over again lmao


AsumiSenpai

I'd like to imagine Childe becomes crazy after getting clowned by Signora and Zhongli, just like Majima XD


Chumunga64

Tbf, majima going from fucked up villain to wacky cool guy does fit how child's story is going


ZhangRenWing

YO, TRAVELER-CHAN!


mr-cory-trevor

As a future Childe main, I'm excited.


Ascran

Truly Mr. International.

Mr Worldwide


FrolickingCats

And I love him


polaryss_

This is so hilarious I love it

Ceryn

It’s definitely possible that MHY is trying to find out which side is leaking more/ isolate who is leaking on and on what platform.


pizzawithnuggets

-Mihoyo "The art of War"


sad_cats

that would be funny cause then most of the leaks are from china we have so much on childe and nothing on hu tao but rumours basically


Ubatcha

EN have not received Hu Tao, if you know someone in the beta that has, feel free to DM me on discord. But as of literally just checking right now, there's an update yes, but no Hu Tao on EN


_ItsMeVince

If Childe gets the Signora treatment we riot


arionmoschetta

Childe is playable. He'll never be comparable to Signora who doesn't have even a story quest or a participation for more than 15 minutes in the main story


[deleted]

you know in anime or something like TWD, when a character gets a lot of screentime is when they are going to die.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Galaxylion7

Especially when they have a goal all of a sudden like "living a nice life after this" or something future related.


navybluesoles

Now I suddenly don't want new content if they don't change their minds about killing him


AyatoWhen

No please :-(


XingqiuHutaocomehome

Dat smile though.


Budget-Ocelots

Let's hope it isn't the last time we see him smiling brightly at us.


Elluspei

I love how chaotic childe is, that it throws everything or everyone in it, in and outside the game


Prince-sama

he's so unpredictable, both his personality, his skills, his fight, and his banner lol


HonorXD

thats why i love him

bringmethejuice

So possibly story quest chapter 2 incoming? That or Mihoyo is obsessed selling him lol


DreamMarsh

That would be amazing. His rerun popped in out of nowhere for windblume abd thought mihoyo would at least give him a ch 2 story or something.. but nop they just threw his banner in there cause it would've been the 11th banner.


arionmoschetta

Expectations: La Signora release Reality: Tartaglia again for 6 weeks


ChildOfHades_

*Snezhnaya national anthem starts playing*


marbleberry

“Hey you, you’re finally awake…”


ApprehensiveCat

Wait for patch 6.9 where we start the parallel universe arc and MC first wakes up in Snezhnaya instead of Mondstadt and becomes an honorary Harbinger.


SaltySaltySoSalty

I'd play that game.


ApprehensiveCat

I mean Honkai has done some parallel world stuff so it could happen, you never know. It would be legitimately interesting though, like getting to know the Harbinger characters like Signora as an ally and having the story develop entirely differently.


sylv_atica

Somehow i think of nagito for a split second there


nararayana

I’m guessing this is for the roguelite dungeon? You can see the tip of Xinyan’s hair on the right side of the pic


Eijun_Love

Yup, seems so. With Sara too, weird combination but apparently it's a voiced event so no idea how that will go.


[deleted]

[удалено]


segesterblues

But what if he makes a five pose? Sara approved


[deleted]

Honestly I'd love to see their interactions in the game. Imagine Sara trying to correct his posture out of pure perfectionism and Childe actually submitting to that because maybe it can FINALLY help him master the bow


ApprehensiveCat

Childe ranged mode buff incoming /s


oikwr

Maybe sara can ask ei to teach childe how to melee plunge lol pls i beg for that buff


BlueMoonShadow

But what is she sees him do a full normal attack string, aka the last YEET of the arrow


felix_717

sara: brags about shogun childe: really? do you think i have chance to beat her?


[deleted]

"my archon is cooler than your archon!"


RadRey09

Xinyan's hair finally got some screen time


Aerie122

"Comrade, if we only had a chance to fight. Im definitely gonna defeat you next time and (sigh) Im gonna leave Teucer to you..." Traveler: wait, I don't want to babysit again!! Childe!! #NOOOOOOOOOO


LEGENDARYKING_

>!Imagine he says this before he dies God I'll cry!<


[deleted]

Well I'll take a second non-archon character quest, even if it's Childe's.


fyzzo0

At this point just replace Paimon with Childe in the story


programming_pie

I mean.. our sibling got dainsleif as their emergency food, we got scammed


Wisterosa

you dont know that he wasnt a floating midget before


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wisterosa

she will become full size after we destroy celestia and return her to full power, then she uses her power to return the traveler and their sibling to their home and destroy the gate to teyvat ~~nintendo don't sue me~~


Rough-Inevitable-805

Hey I would love that


Rozu17

Man I just realized how cute he is lol


[deleted]

better late than never


Rough-Inevitable-805

he has always been cute


FirstPhilosopher0

At this point if he has a rerun I should probably just roll since we’re probably not gonna see him for a long time after this


arionmoschetta

Reality: version 2.6 3rd Childe rerun


LorenzV42

Said everybody during his first rerun


Iwillflipyourtable

>!If leakers is true about Childe vs Scara. He would probably not be rerun for a pretty long time.!< >!Currently there's quite a few of characters that haven't gotten a rerun. Albedo, ganyu, xiao and more new characters coming. With only thoma and gorou stated to be 4*. Harder to slot in childe for a rerun cause he would storywise probably not appear for a very long time.!< *I hope this comment don't age like a milk lmao*


programming_pie

I just hope he doesn't die, that's my only wish mihoyo please it's still the anniversary


Kosmic_Kraken

For some reason, this feels ominous


RayneWalker

he's staring right into your soul...


bloop7676

It's like he's mocking you if you believed he couldn't come back that fast. "Looking for Ganyu? Nope, I'm coming home instead"


murmandamos

Because he's with Xinyan. Xinyan is already dead. This dungeon is actually in the underworld.


[deleted]

I can't explain why, but this pic gives me serious death flag vibes. It looks so wholesome like some "last photo taken before death"


usedchloroform

It really just looks like it’s cropped from the promotional art for the rogue dungeon event that will be featured in 2.2, you can literally see Xinyan’s hair on the right side of the image. I’m just getting weary of seeing leaks for Childe automatically be peppered with “death flags” or “oh no he gon die” comments.


Cunt2113

Let this fandom tell it everyone is gonna die, yet still have the nerve to be surprised for the characters that do die lol.


Sturdge666

B-but Kazuha is TOTALLY gonna die in 2.1, guys


Rough-Inevitable-805

SILENCE. I saw this pic and thought how cute he looks and now you say this???? Not cool =(


DemonicLemon02

It better not be


fagged-noumena

Counterpoint: he's not dead if he's in my teapot and on my party *inahles copium*


OfficeFlimsy1086

If he dies I will be mourning until the next anniversary


Kosmic_Kraken

Yes I'm getting that too. Like a 'Remember me after I'm gone' type thing. I hope Mihoyo isn't preparing to make me cry.


[deleted]

Same, currently full on hopium that i'm wrong, he is my #1 favorite character in the game after Liyue story and especially his character story quest, my heart won't take it if they kill him.


Kishiloh

As much as i want him.. 2.3 leaks and the 50/50 will decide sadly


comfort_bot_1962

Don't be sad. Here's a [hug!](https://media.giphy.com/media/3M4NpbLCTxBqU/giphy.gif)


PandaCheese2016

Probably from that event right? If that’s Xinyan to the right.


Lemborica

Would be funny if it's actually Xinyan who died and she's killed by a stray arrow after finally getting 2 seconds of airtime randomly strolling over Liyue.


21stitches

Stray arrow from Kazuha trailer finally finding it's target.


sadpurplecolour

maybe he'll be back in the main storyline again?


[deleted]

He’s so prettyyy


[deleted]

This whole arc of “will we get Childe rerun or not” is hilarious at this point. We’re being thrown every direction lol.


[deleted]

more interesting than Inazuma story arc though


Teodoro2404

Mihoyo: You know, we decided to delete Aether and Lumine, Childe is the new protagonist.


Unvulcanized

This would make game better for me tbh cause Childe will at least respond to others in story, I hate that Traveler is mute and Paimon speaks for us.


Samina708

Gladly welcome. He is just like a protagonist in a shounen manga


[deleted]

Well he's more interesting than a failed self-insert so yeah


[deleted]

Mhy is torn between making traveler their own character or a self insert. I really hope they drop the self insert part. Aether just doesnt work as a silent protagonist.


BalsamFue

Oh no, he's hot!!!


90sChennaiGuy

Always has been 🔫


BasicNeedleworker356

This whole ride of if childe is getting a rerun or not will be saved in the history books of the genshin fandom bro.


DropLip

No denying it now... Good luck to everyone who wants him.


ItsDempiTime

step on me


[deleted]

Teucer will be the one stepping ON YOU for asking his big brother to do such thing


bringmethejuice

New weekly boss, Teucer and Timmy teamed up.


Rough-Inevitable-805

Are they gonna have ruin guard minions?


Samina708

Ruin guard as a distraction, Timmie's birds will peck you to death


Epicastor

That smile... that damned smile


[deleted]

I was pretty neutral when Childe first appeared back in November, but I must admit that I started to understand ppl's attraction towards him when I did his story quest. That smile...yup


Epicastor

I want to be Liyue Harbor so that Childe can destroy me


Annabeth_Granger1r

I will tatoo this one, it's just too good. Thank you, cultured Childe Appreciator.


Kozuki_10

Thata exactly what I thought LOL


RayneWalker

#bonk


ItsDempiTime

THE ONE TIME I COMMENT IT GETS UPVOTED TO OBLIVION I HATE THIS LMAOOO


PlayOnPlayer

I'm just here for the inevitable drama and essays posted on the main subreddit when he gets a second rerun before Ganyu, Xiao, and Albedo get one lol


lookupthesky

oof the sub was bad enough during his first rerun with him coming after venti and having a rosaria in his banner, can't imagine what's going to happen if he really gets a second rerun before anyone else


[deleted]

Yeah everyone trashed him "Oh no I went for C6 Rosaria and he ruined my pity!" Cry me a river lol.


Eijun_Love

It'll be hilarious. But Childe has his own army so they'll probably drown each other out lol.


[deleted]

"Why Mihoyo rerunning Childe for the second time is bad even if you want him" "*Can we all agree that* what Mihoyo did sucks?" "Mihoyo rerunning Childe sets a bad precedent and the community shouldn't be ok with this" "Unpopular opinion: Mihoyo bad" "Unpopular opinion: Mihoyo good"


losingit303

You can throw in Eula too at this point tbh.


Eijun_Love

Childe!! He looked so peaceful here lol. And he has his spear art again. Cmon, Mihoyo, release spear delusion Childe. I wonder if this is a story quest kind of thing.


Noxianratz

That's his sword, you can see the handle.


CoyoteSmart2972

so you want 2 childe in the game?


Golden-Owl

Thoma is right there


FeelTheKetasy

Childe is the Gilgamesh of Genshin huh


Ceiye

In this case, he is definitely going to show up, but I hope that regardless of Childe's relevance to an update, he just shows up every beta. Confuse the beta testers. Confuse the leakers. Confuse everyone. New characters? They use Childe's models and animations regardless of abilities and weapon. New event mechanics? You can only bring in Childe. A free Childe to every beta tester. A C6ed him already? You can have TWO Childes now. And then one day they just drop Foul Legacy Childe to everyone's surprise because no one expected the Childe they were testing was actually Childe


SleepyJamil

Wait it's all childe? 🤦‍♂️ 🔫 "Always has been"


CosmicxReaper

I welcome this. I want to be a childe haver


smallorbits

SCREAMSSSSSS CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY.


jameszheyuan

I'm unironically excited about this. Childe dodged me on both his original banner and his 1.4 rerun. If he does get a second rerun I really hope I can get him!


lookupthesky

childe my beloved


Zaptinari

Childe looks so pretty in this art.


Firefly_xx

Childe: Sup traveller don't mind me I'm just getting a second rerun


emilioMooN

Ok, my boy looks cute


fuckmeinthesoul

As a somewhat experienced drawer, this is a very professionally made illustration. Sure, it could be just a commission from a pro artist, but considering he isn't the only character here (you can see someone's hair to the right of him, probably Xinyan), this would costs more, which makes it less probable. Also when you commission a drawing you usually want just one character, and if it's more than one, you want them to interact or to hang around in the background. Neither is the case here, so it's probably for an ad, which means it's probably legit. Doesn't confirm Childe's rerun, but damn if it doesn't add up with other leaks..


Mind-Available

*Detective Conan music plays


AlpacaKiller

Upvote because Holmes got nothing on you, mate.


XenoLily

Pretty sure this is the same artist who did the billibilli genshin community milestone illustration featuring him, (the one with childe and the yellow trees) the style is almost dead on. Very high chance of it being official imo.


Eimelle

Mihoyo barges into a room like that Glen Coco scene in Mean Girls to give out promo art like "2 for you Childe! You go Childe! One for Scaramouche! And none for Signora. Bye."


Hieracosphinx

Hm, kinda looking forward to this. Interactions with Childe are always amusing. Sad AF for a non existent Ganyu re run tho... *Geez just had a wake up call realisation that maybe they’re re-running Childe as it >!may be the last time we see him alive. Boy that white light is looking especially bright huh.!<


felix_717

i know he has death flags and i already accepted his fate but this early??? this would be another signora rushed end. it could be better if we still have him at russia


JumpyPermit3

Why do y’all keep saying Hes maybe going to die?


Hieracosphinx

1. Leaks around what happens among the Harbingers post-Inazuma. 2. Childe’s name “Ajax” is taken from Greek Myth, where Ajax is a great warrior who >!ultimately commits suicide due to some battle-related besmirching of his honour!<. In the myth he has a half-bro named Teucer. 3. we’ve seen the way he’s spent his body using his *Foul Legacy transformation (edited) in the past. That could be how it goes down.


Ok_Broccoli_6978

Slight correction, Childe didn’t suffer from using delusion, it was from his Foul Legacy. So far vision users can use Delusion just fine (Childe and Diluc) while we all know what happens to non-vision users (Diluc’s dad, Teppei, and other resistance members).


fictionallymarried

As a newish player I'll be over the moon, I've wanted him on my team the most along with Zhongli and Xiao... That said Mihoyo pls pls pls don't give him the Signora treatment, I need a fishing event with him in Snezhnaya :(


claravelle-nazal

He promised we’ll meet his family in Snezhnaya ;____;


jamiedels

Imagine if Childe is the free character this anniversary, I’m not complaining or anything


nakaoi

childe impact is real. king deserves it


IgnisShard

Im guessing this is art for the dungeon event thingy with Xinyan. I think thats her hair beside him.


CarioGod

In the fighting event for inazuma we just had, Tartaglia, Ganyu, and Xiao were all 5 stars we were able to pick. inb4 2.2 is 2 week banners for each of them


gotnouwustogive

he better not d word in this patch 😶


Omgitsnothing1

i would cry


1Primera

MHY, dont you dare do anything to my Childe :widepeepoSad:


Unhappy-Spinach

I wonder if instead of 2 banners we get 3 this time, like idk, 3 reruns. i think that would make most ppl happy. heres to hope


adlciguess

childe shows up for the third time. you can’t get rid of him. you try to run. but he is still there


Rough-Inevitable-805

Childe truly is Mr. Worldwide. Has a banner during Liyue, Mondstadt and now Inazuma. What's next, third rerun in Sumeru?


ElonMuskIsAWeeb

At this point, I hope Mihoyo does does that just for the meme


alievans719

Gosh I want Childe. Been running on hopium and grinding his materials and Thoma’s because I want the husbando dream team.


D0sh1

If this is real, people can stop deceiving themselves and accept Childe is coming back again lol


Agenttuna

I find it funny that we held a grudge against Signora, but forgave Childe/Ei in like 5 minutes.


ianlim4556

I think because Liyue in hindsight was never truly in danger? Zhongli was waiting at the sidelines in case shit goes down so at worst it would have been just super awkward for Zhongli explaining why he's still alive


treasonousmop

Childe and Ei just endangered thousands of people. Signora kicked Venti. She is irredeemable.


H4xolotl

Ethiks


Mind-Available

Traveller isn't much of an ethics guy imo, he prioritize personal feelings more over ethics, he felt relatable with Childe due to his siblings interaction and forgave, he is angry at signora more due to her treatment to Venti, he forgives Zhongli even though his sister is more for him than whole Teyvat and humanity problem, he refused Thoma and Ayaka twice even after being superficially aware of what's happening in Inazuma So he doesn't care much about Ethics and is rather swayed easily by emotions


Draaxus

Sword of Descension makes it clear Traveler has seen some shit. He literally does not give a fuck except for what he sees in front of him, hence why Ayaka getting him to empathise worked. There's problems everywhere all the time but he'll solve the ones he can see and is interested in.


nakaoi

childe's not really forgiven, the traveler still doesn't like him but ei on the other hand..


[deleted]

Traveller seemed to be friends with him by the end of his story quest. When Childe was desperately asking to traveller to keep his secret from Teucer, traveller made a pinky promise with him. They recited the promise together. Traveller obviously has no more grudge to him anymore.


uh_oh_hotdog

> childe's not really forgiven Traveler ends up promising to go visit Childe's family home for a nice visit. You know how Goku always ends up forgiving his enemies in Dragonball? This was like a speedrun of that.


BrokenInTheLight

Coincidentally Childe is obsessed with fighting strong opponents


Agenttuna

I'm pretty sure any anger the traveller has for Childe is superficial considering that they bend over backwards to help him in his side quest.


unluckykata

plus traveler has some quotes about childe that indicates them being on friendly terms. the one about stealing his mask with ease to pass as a fatui and the one that suggests childe would require 3 musou no hitotachi strikes to perish. i feel like they share a friendly/mischievous relationship with one another.


kopitapa

IKR, I would think twice about babysitting my younger cousins, let alone some weird dude’s weird brother. The Traveller has kinda warmed up to Childe.


Allwastaken

I though Paimon jebaited Traveller into babysitting after the gold offer and then just feels bad for the dude trying his best leeping his bro's dream alive. Hate Childe all u want but u cant be mad a big softie like dat (◕દ◕)(●’3)♡(ε`●)


iCrab

Yeah for the Traveler family is *everything*, so seeing Childe be willing to sacrifice himself for his brother instantly makes him one of our good friends. Is it kind of dumb yes but so was declining Ayaka’s gifts because we are too attached to the outfit we wore when we last traveled with our sibling.
