No mom! Don't! I don't want him to go! Alice, please! I would never have let ZandiCorp hurt her! Then you shouldn't have lied to us. Goodbye Al, or L-13. Whoever you really
are. D-does this mean you're not
my brother anymore? I'll always be your brother. Klee! Where are you? You always knew what I was, didn't you? But you
didn't care. I wish more organics could be like you. H-hey, it can't be that easy. You'd be asking
me to fix it every other week. Maybe next time, you'll think twice about gett
ing into a fight. I finally found you, L-13 H-hey! Relax, I'm- I'm not with ZandiCorp! It's me...see? RS... oh, General Raiden! Shhhh! Don't you have a war to fight? Yes, that's why I'm here. At this rate, ZandiCorp will outnumber us ten to one. We don't know when they'll strike, but... ...as we are now, we don't stand a chance. And so, because you missed me so much, you ran away to hide in this hellhole, New Khaenri'ah. Very funny. I'm not running anywhere. I'm here because...we've been taking
heavy losses since you left. We need you back. We need Albedo. I don't go by that name anymore. Right. L-13 then. If I came back, and made you more soldiers... You'd only have more lives to lose. But what's a life
worth when you can make a new one, right? You know I don't believe that! I just want you
to give us a fighting chance. And what if that fighting chance doesn't want to die for our
cause?! We'd be no better than ZandiCorp. We are nothing like ZandiCorp! But sometimes
one death can save
thousands of lives... Could you tell that to Sucrose? Could you tell her, for certain, that her death meant something? [Music] I'm done getting myself involved. I don't want
us to lose...but it's already cost me too much. So now, whatever happens...happens. Including the
war. You think you're not involved now? Hiding behind Organics and putting them in danger? Just so you can pretend to leave your past behind? ZandiCorp doesn't know I'm here! And organics never get more than a slap on the wrist,
anyway. They'll be fine. If we lose the war...life will never get better for synthetics like us. I know. But the way things are now...I think I can manage. So I'll take my chances. Thanks for the tea. I wouldn't bet on things staying the same. I tried it once. It didn't work. Raiden...even if I wanted to help- Get down! This is Synthetic Control! We have reports of a highly dangerous rogue synthetic in this area named L-13! Please come out with your hands up! It's ZandiCorp! And one of their ne
w L-Series Bots. I'm not quite sure they got your nose right. Here, give me your hand. There's no way...they've never come down here before! Maybe one of your organic friends reported you. You ready? F-for what? W-w-w-wait what wait wait!! Come on, let's go! Are you insane?! That's ZandiCorp property! This is gonna draw every drone in the city! I'm supposed to be lying low! Yeah? Well, it's too late for that. They already know you're here. ...I really hope you can still outrun a security drone.
Hey! I'm retired--not out of shape! [Mysterious explosion] [Music] Let's go! You know...maybe we don't have to run? Maybe we can take 'em. No. ZandiCorp vastly outnumbers us, remember? This way! Let go! I told you, I don't know where he is! Where are you taking me?? When my mom gets here... All right. It looks like we shook them off. Come on! This is our chance! L-13! Look out! Leave my brother alone! Klee! I got you! Don't you dare touch Dodoco! I thought you said you were done getting
involved
? This isn't your responsibility. You shouldn't have come back You really think you can handle them all? On your own? I have to try. No. I'll protect this organic girl with you. If you agree to join the war again. [Music]

EPISODE 2 HAS BEEN GREENLIT! I look forward to showing you guys what happens next in the world of Progenitor! Stay tuned for it later this year! UC-B06UJxJ20HYv15lzrm9mA/zjNfX-n7Gerq8gScpJSYCA
IT'S FINALLY HERE!!! I hope you all enjoy the full episode of Progenitor: The Shogunate! Anyone interested in Episode 2, let me know down below 👀 Thanks again to HoyoFair Spring 2023 for making this project possible!
I love that the fact, raiden shogun, scaramouche and albedo are the non humans in game, and now they together on one art like this.. i love it
The facial expressions exude so much humanity and warmth. Raiden's smile 10/10 thank you so much
As a Raiden stan, THIS IS AMAZING!!! I’m so happy you choose her as the character for this animation! I can’t wait for the next one
What the hell?! What is this?! Did you guys made this animation? This is amazing. It’s giving me the RWBY vibes when Monty was still alive and kicking.
this is actually leagues above any other 3d animation ive seen on youtube. the age of sfm just cant cook as hard as this quite refreshing i must say
Raiden slapping Albedo while blocking his attack with one arm is brutal 💀
i dont really know the lore of genshin, and ive never seen any of your animations before. but this animation, the choreography, the acting, with a very intriguing start to a story. I subbed so quick after watching and i will watch this story with great interest.
This is incredible on so many levels! Can't wait to see your next work! Head-canon: This story actually takes place in one of the many universes of the Honkaiverse...
Many former RWBY animators here, or at least I recognized Shane Newville's name then saw on your profile you also animated there (Dillon). Happy to see you guys working on more passion projects, may Monty rest in peace <3
I'm both Albedo and Raiden main and this is just so amazing, I'm glad i discovered thus
Albedo snapping to protect Klee and the fighting animations were SICK!! I just love this, waiting for more!
This video immediately captivates with attention to detail, lore and the World of the game Genshin Impact. I express my deep gratitude to all the team who were involved in the project! This is an incredible combination of 2D and 3D animation. The emotions and facial expressions of the characters are perfectly conveyed, where it is difficult to realize when drawing. The game of eyes, smiles and emotions all correspond to a very long and thoughtful work. The hero Shogun Raiden, Albedo and Klee are faithfully rendered and fit the idea of the original game. The manner of speech, facial expressions, character of Shogun Raiden are perfect, this applies to Albedo and Klee! Wonderfully chosen voices. And the musical accompaniment at the end is just “cherry on the cake”, just perfect! The well-designed city also draws attention, especially the moment a person descends to the air conditioning turbine. This is a trifle, but it is striking attention to such seemingly trifles. People on the street, cars, light in the windows creates the feeling of a living city. Probably, one of the keys to the success of the Genshin Impact game is the heroes! As a person who plays this game, I am very pleased to see such a gorgeous work! How many I review, the moment at the end with Shogun Raiden's speech always brings tears of joy. Although I would like her return to be associated with the rescue of Klee. But the scene came out touching and cute! Thank you for that! P.S. The plot mentions the dead Sucrose, I really don’t want the heroes to die further.
So the animators are RWBY fight guys huh? That explains the monty feelings throughout the episode, i can't wait for you guys to make it your own iconic animating style now!
This draving quality, story and movements are amazing. I love the facial expressions especially the one in the first encounter 😂
From a magical medieval setting to WAY far in the future in a cyberpunk setting. This really tingles my feelings! Inspiring! I might start crafting a Cyberpunk/Shadowrun world setting now!
3:29 i wish that was me
Wanderer using his hat as a hacking device is pretty sick
Wow, this almost feels like if Monty Oum spun Genshin with a Cyberpunk twist. And i do mean that as a compliment. Plus Albedo and Raiden surely make an interesting combination. This is genuinely pretty cool and I'd be so excited to see if this became a finished series.
