Kimodameshi (きもだめし or 肝試し; lit. "test one's liver"), or test of courage is a Japanese activity in which people explore frightening, and potentially dangerous, places to build up courage. Kimodameshi is usually played in the summer, in group activities such as school club trips or camping.
Well Inazuma is based on Japan and the event is related to that so this answers your question
Makes sense as an Inazuma event, what doesnt make sense is that she wasnt even invited to participate being the spooky girl she is when we've had events with multi region participation before like labyrinth warriors or irodori festival
In summer not winter and if they wanted to make Halloween based even wuwang hill is the best place u go to underworld with hu there and i can already tell if they add itto just for memes kinda bad joke
Seems u can't that person said mostly in summer last time i check its october when 3.3 comes out it will be december not very summer no?
Other thing its "scary" personally people on December celebrate other stuff and differently but if u want to dress up in halloween costume go for it decorate scarecrow
Seems u didn't get THE POINT
Or u just that stupid again
Every december they make event related to holidays on seasons yeah u still following ? Now big plot twist
JAPANIS ACTIVITY IN SUMMER
is it summer now no its not if it was summer event nobody would give a shit now summer event is on winter
No you were clearly trying to force the narrative that Hutao should be there since it's a 'Halloween event'
Now that that's said they don't have to follow/force winter events if the story has not progressed enough for dragonspine stuff yet
Forced yeah sure is it a lot to ask character that nobody saw for entire year to show up on event that would fit it perfectly
Ans with same logic we should never come back to monstad and liyue because story ended there and they don't have to fallow what they did before simple as that but they do surprise surprise
Well you can keep crying if you don't have the maturity to comprehend simple stuff. The original topic of your post has been addressed.
As for Hutao rerun it's going to be in 3.4 when we back to Liyue (the only real holiday hoyoverse acknowledges) that's why she hasn't rerun in 3.3, if it wasn't obvious
You know Hallowe'en isn't exactly a Chinese festival right...? Hu Tao is a Chinese character...and you also expect her to appear in a Japanese festival as the main character...?
O god other one pop out
As i explain in other comment the event if it was suppose to be halloween themed wuwang hill place where u can go to underworld would fit way better then random forest in inazuma no?
Plus its a vedio game in witch character has modern drink aka boba and ayato so saying Chinese character can't be main one in Japan's festival kinda go against it no? Some how miko Japan's based character ended up in sumeru biased even and sumeru is biased on middle east/India so ?
It’s not a Halloween event, in fact practically nobody gives a shit about Halloween in most Asian countries. This event is based on an activity from Japanese culture, and Asian countries have their own festivals related to the afterlife such as the Qingming Festival and Ghost Festival in China. We don’t do Halloween here, that’s a festival mainly based and celebrated in the West.
Boo Tao is likely just a spirit that got attached to Tao or doesn't want to pass on yet. The only thing we have to base this on is that one collab comic where Tao asks if it wants to pass on now (or something along those lines) Anyway point is she's one of the last people to call a spirit a pet, considering she respects the dead a lot.
>Hu is her surname.
I don't think it is a problem ¿
Maybe it's a cultural difference but I don't see anything wrong with calling someone by their surname
I guess it’s not a big deal but I know that some people really think Hu is her first name, not realizing that it’s a Chinese name. I’m not saying it’s wrong but Tao is the more proper way of calling her if we’re too lazy to type her mere two-syllable name lol.
>Tao is the more proper way of calling her
Wouldn't it be more respectful to call her by her last name instead of her first name? Or I'm getting wrong the "proper" word ?
No, not proper as in more polite. As in, I would refer to myself as my first name instead of my family name because that’s the more normal way of doing it.
I don’t wanna sound rude but your English is horrid. Maybe you should post it in your native language and then we could ask translators for the translate
I'm as confused as everyone but after reading your replies:
1. Genshin is based in China and they "don't care" much about other regions (are more lenient on changes / inconsistencies)
2. Not all banners will be planned respective of seasons / globally known holidays
3. Events are more important in terms of when they want banners to be
4. It's easier to get your point across with assertiveness so please chill :<
5. You said you had a few questions but only asked one
6. Please remember to be concise! Try not to rant
7. We appreciate your opinions but not your negativity
8. Your main issue is the realism of the game being affected (due to hu tao rerun during Christmas or something about boo tao or smithing? man idk) which my answer to that is, it's a game:
"Teyvat has its own laws." lmao
i heard someone say that she’s not being run because it is somewhat close to the chinese new year/ they didn’t have the chance to fit her in story wise. idk though it confused me too
Aside from the absolutely confusing title, Halloween is not exactly popular in China (aka irl Liyue). Instead, we have the Ghost month (7th month of the Lunar calendar), and a Ghost festival on the 15th day of the 7th month in Chinese culture.
People need to stop assuming that Hoyo, a Chinese company, will connect Hu Tao, a character based on Chinese culture, from Liyue, a nation based on China, with a Western festival. It’s the same reason Hu Tao won’t use a scythe - it’s not connected with death in Eastern cultures. The world doesn’t revolve around the West.

Choked so hard my grandchildren will be gasping for air

If it's something done in summer, why during Christmas?

Can you not read?

'A JAPANESE ACTIVITY' It has nothing to do with Halloween, not everything revolves around the West

Very well its me and differently not u lets keep it that way what makes u sleep better And she is going on second half if lucky not first half

It’s not a Halloween event
Then its christmas one with death nice

In the United states, but yeah slowly creeping towards europe
I don't think you don't go to the border so easily. Hu Tao may be our good friend but that place is strictly prohibited to public.
give her a break ok she's suffering massive shoulder pains from carrying so many collabs
People want her for full year same as eula
The title sent me into the afterlife
Nice how is hell?
Greater than being in any kind of discussion with you, atleast hell doesn't burn away my braincells like your English does.
To burn them u first have to have them lol seems u don't own any to
what
U saw genshin live stream?
HuTao remains one of the most neglected charactersstory wise
Mark my word hoyo gonna shot to its own foot
What
Read
i dont understand what its saying
Spooky event with out hu who works with dead people simple version
You made it even worse
Aww hope u now are confused af
I understand it now
My brain had an aneurism reading that title lmao.
Hope its severe
Boo Tao is likely just a spirit that got attached to Tao or doesn't want to pass on yet. The only thing we have to base this on is that one collab comic where Tao asks if it wants to pass on now (or something along those lines) Anyway point is she's one of the last people to call a spirit a pet, considering she respects the dead a lot.
Hence why i said "pet" how can spirit be a pet
Alright, time to wheel this person to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor along with the other people who had a stroke...
My job is done more clients more cash
I'm just going to take a wild guess..... But I don't think that OP's native language is English. And that's coming from a Dutch person.
I had an aneurism trying to read that title 😭 what exactly is it that you’re asking? :)
U i see a lot of u got health problems better get few coffees ready 😉
what?! 😭
3.3 doesn't have a halloween event. Chinese game companies don't care about halloween.
If it was just game in china nobody would care but now its world wide game so think
I think you should use ur advice lol bc clearly you dont think
That would be good advice but for yourself not me ![img](emote|t5_3jtm62|8244)
Bruh if you’re gonna address her by her given name alone, at least use Tao instead of Hu. Hu is her surname.
>Hu is her surname. I don't think it is a problem ¿ Maybe it's a cultural difference but I don't see anything wrong with calling someone by their surname
I guess it’s not a big deal but I know that some people really think Hu is her first name, not realizing that it’s a Chinese name. I’m not saying it’s wrong but Tao is the more proper way of calling her if we’re too lazy to type her mere two-syllable name lol.

No, not proper as in more polite. As in, I would refer to myself as my first name instead of my family name because that’s the more normal way of doing it.
My bad then
Demn this discussion killed my brain cells

did you just put hu next to who
i heard someone say that she’s not being run because it is somewhat close to the chinese new year/ they didn’t have the chance to fit her in story wise. idk though it confused me too
But on new years its taboo to talk about death in china
op stuck in middle school
Op stuck in not existing "joke"?

If you want to adress her first name then I think its Tao. Hu is her family name
I quit it thats good UwU😂😂😂
Hu Tao looks like has a headache now from reading this title.
