History Characters / GenshinImpactWatatsumi

** Both of Gorou's "General" fields generate up to three buffs depending on the number of additional Geo Vision holders in the party. If there is one other such holder, the field is in "Standing Firm" grade, which adds a boost to Defense; if two, "Impregnable," which adds to flinching resistance; and if three (and hence the party is all-Geo), "Crunch," which adds a 15% boost to Geo Damage Bonus.

* AreaOfEffect: Gorou specializes in generating fields that provide up to three different buffs depending on the number of Geo-elemental allies in the party--stationary with General's War Banner, and around the active character with General's Glory.

* CooldownManipulation: His first Constellation upgrade, ''Rushing Hour: Swift as the Wind'', shaves two seconds off the ten-second cooldown time of ''Inuzaka All-Round Defense'' (with at least a ten-second interval) whenever allies deal Geo-elemental damage within the radii of either of his "General" fields; and in a variant, his second, ''Sitting Hound: Steady as a Clock'', adds a second to the duration of General's Glory whenever an ally within the field's radius picks up an elemental shard (within a 0.1-second interval and to a maximum of three seconds).

* StatusBuff: Both of Gorou's "General" fields generate up to three buffs depending on the number of Geo Vision holders in the party. If Gorou is the only one, the field is in "Standing Firm" grade, which provides a Defense buff; if there is another, it reaches "Impregnable" grade, which adds a buff to interruption resistance; and if two or three other such holders are present, it reaches "Crunch" grade, which provides a 15% Geo damage boost. In addition, his first-ascension passive, ''Heedless of the Wind and Weather'', gives ''Juuga: Forward to Victory'' the ability to boost the party's Defense by 25% for twelve seconds, while that for his fourth, ''A Favor Repaid'', adds a damage boost to both his Elemental Talents based on 15.6% of his Defense stat; finally, his sixth Constellation upgrade, ''Valiant Hound: Mountainous Fealty'', adds to both fields a Geo Critical damage buff (in increasing grade, 10%, 20%, or 40%).

** She bases her motivation to do things on "Energy Points" (reminiscent of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoon_theory spoon theory]]), and even keeps a diary of incidents and happenings that either increase or decrease her energy based on this point scale.

* CombatMedic: Her moveset is oriented around providing damage and healing in equal measure.
** ''Kurage's Oath'' creates a phantasmal jellyfish that periodically deals wide-ranging Hydro damage like Mona's Skill, but instead of a taunt it will also heal nearby allies
** ''Nereid's Ascension'', similarly to Barbara's Skill, bestows Kokomi with the Ceremonial Garb, allowing her to heal her allies with each normal attack while it's active, while also increasing the damage of her attacks based on her Max HP and Healing Bonus, from which her healing potency also scales off of. Her fourth-ascension passive, ''Song of Pearls'', further increases the damage potency of normal and charged attacks enhanced with the Ceremonial Garb by 15% of her Healing Bonus stat.

** In addition, the combination of her flowing clothing and the Ceremonial Garb brings to mind the ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennin tennyo]]'', divine maidens and messengers of the gods in Japanese UsefulNotes/{{Buddhism}}, whose most notable article of clothing is a ''hagoromo'', a featherweight shawl that seemingly floats above their head and shoulders, befitting a divine priestess such as Kokomi.

* ShapingYourAttacks: Kokomi applies her Catalyst powers in the form of phantasmal fish "swimming" towards her enemies. Her first Constellation passive, ''At Water's Edge'', adds an extra phantasmal fish to her final combat attack, which deals damage based on 30% of her Max HP, while the Ceremonial Garment is active.
* SituationalDamageAttack: Her sixth Constellation upgrade, ''Sango Isshin'', bestows her a 40% Hydro Damage Bonus buff for four seconds whenever her normal or charged attacks enhanced with the Ceremonial Garb heal at least one ally with at least 80% HP.

[[Characters/GenshinImpactSumeru Sumeru]] ([[Characters/GenshinImpactAkademiya Akademiya]] | [[Characters/GenshinImpactEremites Eremites]] | [[Characters/GenshinImpactNahida Nahida]] | [[Characters/GenshinImpactWanderer The Wanderer]])\\

The holiest temple in Watatsumi, dedicated to the worship of Orbashi centuries after its passing.

As a seasoned general of the Resistance, Gorou specializes in supporting his allies, with both his Elemental Talents having the ability to generate areas-of-effect which deal Geo damage as well as provide up to three buffs depending on the number of Geo-elemental allies in the party, wherein he can unlease, in increasing levels, either "Standing Firm", "Impregnable", and "Crunch", which respectively add boosts to Defense, interruption resistance, and Geo Damage Bonus. His Skill, ''Inuzaka All-Round Defense'', has Gorou plant a "General's War Banner" on a fixed location (around Gorou in its tapped form, anywhere if held), while his Burst, ''Juuga: Forward Unto Victory'', summons a "General's Glory" around the active character which, in addition, periodically deals wide-ranging ''Crystal Collapse'' attacks and draws in generated Crystallize shards in regular intervals.\\

* CleanupCrew: A benevolent example. She was assigned by Kokomi to weed out [[spoiler:Fatui stragglers in Watatsumi]], and has sought out the Traveler to assist her. In addition, she is gathering evidence of [[spoiler:such activities as agitating radicals within the Resistance and recruiting corrupt ex-Kanjou samurai]].

* ThisIsUnforgivable: Amongst the many sins committed by [[spoiler:the Fatui in Watatsumi that she has recorded]], Shizuru takes particular umbrage at [[spoiler:Borenka humiliating one of her fellow shrine maidens]].

His Skill, ''Inuzaka All-Round Defense'', has Gorou plant a "General's War Banner" on a fixed location (around Gorou in its tapped form, anywhere if held), while his Burst, ''Juuga: Forward Unto Victory'', summons a "General's Glory" which, besides moving around the active character, additionally deals wide-ranging ''Crystal Collapse'' attacks and draws in generated Crystallize shards in regular intervals.\\

Gorou holding true to his convictions grants both his Elemental Talents the ability to boost his damage output based on a fraction of his Defense stat, as well as those of his allies' Geo attacks depending on the level of their generated "General" fields; ''Juuga: Forward Unto Victory'' gains a Defense buff; both "General" fields gain the ability to cut into the cooldown time of ''Inuzaka All-Round Defense'' whenever any of Gorou's allies deal Geo-elemental damage within its radius; and General's Glory in particular sees an extension to its duration whenever an ally picks up elemental crystals, as well as gains the ability to periodically heal allies within its radius based on a fraction of Gorou's Defense stat at "Impregnable" stage and up.\\

Divine Priestess of Watatsumi, scion to a distinguished clan of clergy who continue to propagate worship of Orobashi even centuries after its death, and leader and strategist of the Sangonomiya Resistance. She provides shelter to people who fear losing, or already lost, their Visions and people who chose to fight back against Inazuma's state of affairs, even as she struggles to take on so many responsibilities for a girl of her age.\\

As leader of Watatsumi, Her Excellency is capable of supporting her allies through healing and defensive support in exchange for a near-total inability to land critical hits. Her Elemental Skill, ''Kurage's Oath'', has her summon a "Bake-Kurage", a jellyfish-shaped being which continually deals Hydro damage on surrounding enemies and heals surrounding allies. Her Elemental Burst, ''Nereid's Ascension'', sees Kokomi don a "Ceremonial Garment," a raiment made of water, which increases the damage of her normal attacks and of the Bake-Kurage, gives her the ability to heal her allies with her normal attacks, and allows her to walk on water.\\

As Kokomi formulates her best winning strategy, the healing potency of both the Bake-Kurage and normal/charged attacks enhanced with Ceremonial Garb increase for allies with less than half their HP; triggering ''Nereid's Ascension'' resets the duration of a Bake-Kurage present; and the Ceremonial Garb gains the ability to add a fish-shaped extra hit at the end of her standard combo and augment her normal attacks with a speed boost and low Energy restoration, as well as a Hydro damage buff whenever her attacks heal allies with over 80% HP.\\

* YamatoNadeshiko: Not unlike Ayaka, her eastern counterpart, apart from her pink hair (instead of the traditional black) Kokomi almost entirely fits the standards of a traditional Japanese beauty (again befitting Inazuma's Japanese cultural aesthetic)—graceful, soft-spoken, and, should the need arise, a competent leader.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Kokomi ''loves'' diving to unwind, and while this might seems normal at first, Serenitea Pot conversation with her at Friendship Level 7 implies that she can breathe underwater (she came up with a solution to the Traveler not being able to breathe underwater on the spot, implying she doesn't need to), making it likely that [[ApparentlyHumanMerfolk she (or even the entire Sangonomiya Clan) is not fully human]].

'''Utility Passive 1:''' Flawless Strategy (Increases Healing Bonus by 25% at the cos of a 100% Critical rate penalty)\\

* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: It's evident that everyone on Watatsumi highly reveres and respects her for both her kind demeanour, dutiful personality, and military brilliance. This adoration gets tested, however, during her Story Quest, when many of her soldiers are incredulous to her willingness to engage in peace talks with the Shogunate (represented by Kujou Sara), causing them to question her behind her back and [[spoiler:spread rumors about the Commission being in league with the Fatui in hopes of sabotaging the talks. Once she caught wind of their plot, however, she calls them out on their belligerence and prioritizing their vendetta against the Shogunate over the wellbeing of people from both sides, causing them to contemplate on their actions and eventually stand down]].

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: [[TheDreaded Yae Miko]]. When Kokomi and Miko meet each other during the festival, Gorou makes a stealthy [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere but quick retreat]]. Thanks to her, Gorou becomes terrified at even a ''plush'' of a fox. His luck gets even worse during the Irodori festival where he keeps winning items from Yae Publishing House, and even wins the grand prize of receiving a handshake and photo of himself next to Yae Miko herseñf. Paimon lampshades this, wondering if Gorou was both lucky and unlucky.

On the westernmost end of the Inazuman archipelago are the islands of Watatsumi. Ruled autonomously by the Sangonomiya Clan, currently led by Kokomi, the people of Watatsumi are worshippers of the serpentine deity Orobashi - who, according to legends, rescued the ancestors of the islanders from the underground nation of Enkanomiya, and whose death at the hands of the Raiden Shogun centuries ago lies at the root of centuries-old tensions with the Shogunate to the east. In the present, these tensions would erupt into civil war following the Shogun ratifying the oppressive Sakoku and Vision Hunt Decrees, with the ensuing resistance from Watatsumi having grown their ranks with dissidents from Shogunate-ruled territory.\\\

* GoodCounterpart: To the Raiden Shogun.

'''Birthday:''' May 18th\\

'''Introduced:''' November 24, 2021 (v2.3 "Shadows Amidst Snowstorms")

As a seasoned general of the Resistance, Gorou is a dedicated SupportPartyMember, with both his Elemental Skill and Burst generating areas-of-effect which immediately damage enemies and provide up to three buffs depending on the number of Geo-elemental allies in the party: in increasing levels, "Standing Firm", "Impregnable", and "Crunch", which respectively add buffs to Defense, interruption resistance, and Geo damage. His Elemental Skill, ''Inuzaka All-Round Defense'', has Gorou plant a "General's War Banner" on a fixed location (around Gorou in its tapped form, can be aimed when held), while his Elemental Burst, ''Juuga: Forward Unto Victory'', summons a "General's Glory", which, besides moving around the active character, additionally deals wide-ranging ''Crystal Collapse'' attacks and draws in generated Crystallize shards in regular intervals.\\

** [[spoiler:Yae Miko fashioned an alter ego for him named Ms. Hina as he was working anonymously for the Yae Publishing House's periodical. This gained enough popularity that Ms. Hina got herself a fan club. Miko then took it a step further and created a character design for Hina based on Gorou's appearance and placed a standee of her in front of the publishing house on the same day Gorou is supposed to visit for the current issue of his column. The Traveler had to keep him away from seeing it, despite the crowd noting how similar Gorou and Ms. Hina looks.]]
** [[spoiler:Yae Miko does it again at the end of the final "Legend of the Kasen" Festival Deeds quest; she tells Gorou from a letter that next month he will cosplay a character from a popular light novel and attend a fan meeting later on. Miko also made a tailor made outfit made specifically for him... And it's a woman's outfit much to his annoyance. The character he is going to portray is implied to be Guuji from "Pretty Please, Kitsune Guuji".]]

* CripplingOverspecialization: As a support-oriented unit, Gorou only truly shines if you have at least three other Geo units (particularly ones whose offensive power scales off of the [=DEF=] stat, like Albedo or Itto). Otherwise there's very little that he can provide to a team.
* DamageOverTime: ''General's Glory'' periodically deals Geo-elemental ''Crystal Collapse'' attacks on enemies around the active character every 1.5 seconds.

* EpicFail: In one of his Hangout routes, he accuses [[TheGadfly Yae Miko]] of hugging her tail in her sleep and daydreaming of someone grooming her tail, [[PsychologicalProjection just like himself]]. Not only this means he just bared his entire hand to her, it fails because ''[[FailedASpotCheck she doesn't have a tail]]''. He and the Traveler can only slink back, dejected and defeated.
* EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes: Although he's usually a friendly guy who does his best to support both his men and the readers of "That's Life", the war has left him with a very low opinion of the Shogunate. Even after [[spoiler:the war comes to an end and the Vision Hunt Decree is abolished]], he makes it clear that he won't easily forgive Raiden Shogun for her actions regardless of her reasons.

** Passionately declares that he will never abandon the Resistance's own, and backs this up [[spoiler: when Sara offers a temporary truce in exchange for taking the Traveler into custody. In spite of not knowing that Kokomi was gathering reinforcements, he stands his ground and refuses to let the Shogun have them.]]
** Kokomi's character quest has him state that his men have always been willing to share their troubles with him before, making their secretiveness during the quest all the more odd. [[spoiler: This is because they're conspiring to disrupt the Peace Talks and continue the war, and knew that he'd be opposed due to his UndyingLoyalty to Kokomi.]]

** It's not quite as extreme with Kokomi, who can at least serve as an effective healer for the party and can help in dealing extra damage to enemies with her Elemental Skill, but aside from that, there's likely not much else she can help with. Another potential use for her is making it easier cause a Hydro Crystalise reaction to create shields to defend against Hydro attacks, but it'd likely be possible to cause that reaction anyway without her if you're fighting enemies who use Hydro attacks in the first place.
** With Kazuha, the both of them are part of the game's respective neutral elements, Anemo which synergises with other elements to cause Swirl reactions to deal greater damage, and Geo which synergises with other to cause Crystalize, which characters can use to gain elemental shields to defend from attacks of the element it reacted with. As a result, neither element will be able to cause a reaction with the other, giving the two friends little elemental reaction potential. And since an optimal Gorou team will likely lack room for any Pyro, Cryo, Hydro or Electro characters if you were to include Kazuha, the most help the {{Ronin}} will be is to use his Elemental Skill to gather up enemies in one place.

* MeaningfulName: ゴ (''go'') is a homophone for 護 (usually read as ''mamoru'', [[AlternateCharacterReading but can also be read]] as ''go''), meaning "to protect".
** Gorou is also a very old-fashioned Japanese name that quite literally means "5th son", and his name in Chinese uses the usual kanji spelling for Gorou (五郎）as opposed to the katakana alphabet used in the Japanese translation. And, well, he's the 5th son in his family.

* NumberTwo: He is the second in command after Kokomi's leadership. He is in charge of training and directing the troops during battle, following Kokomi's directions to the letter.
* OddFriendship: He immediately makes good friends with Itto at the ''Akitsu Kimodameshi'' event, with Gorou being calm and polite, and Itto extroverted and impulsive. While they both discuss their shared love for fishing, their methods are very different: Gorou likes fishing by hand, while Itto finds it more fun using a fishing rod. [[spoiler:Also Itto can’t tell Gorou is Ms. Hina (Gorou doesn’t even know about the Ms. Hina stunt) despite all the contrived coincidences.]] In Itto’s words about Gorou, he can sense a familiar feeling from Gorou just talking to him.
* OddNameOut: Unlike the other important Inazuma characters (except for Thoma), Gorou's name in Japanese is spelled with katakana (ゴロー), despite having usable kanji from his Chinese name, Wulang (五郎).

* SlidingScaleOfGameplayAndStoryIntegration: Itto has good synergy Gorou, who usually share banners together. They make good friends once they meet during the ''Akitsu Kimodameshi'' event, and in Itto’s lines about Gorou, he can feel a familiar vibe, as if Gorou can understand his most inner feelings, [[spoiler:not knowing that his favorite advice columnist, Ms. Hina, is actually Gorou.]] Since Itto’s buff scales with his defense, Gorou’s skills further improve his defense stats.

* StatusBuff: Both of Gorou's "General" fields generate up to three buffs depending on the number of Geo-elemental allies. If Gorou is the only Geo unit, the field is in "Standing Firm" stage, which provides a Defense buff; if there are two Geo units, "Impregnable" gets stacked, which adds a buff to interruption resistance; and if three Geo units are present, "Crunch" is issued, providing a 15% Geo damage boost. In addition, his first passive, ''Heedless of the Wind and Weather'', adds a twelve-second-long 25% Defense buff for the party to ''Juuga: Forward to Victory''; his second, ''A Favor Repaid'', adds a damage boost to both his Elemental Talents based on 15.6% of his Defense stat; and his sixth Constellation upgrade, ''Valiant Hound: Mountainous Fealty'', adds to both fields a Geo Critical damage buff (in increasing grade, 10%, 20%, or 40%).
* SupportPartyMember: Gorou's skillset revolves around powering up Geo-oriented teams, with both his Elemental Skill and Burst dealing wide-ranging damage and generating fields that provide diverse buffs depending on the number of Geo allies in the team, with the latter having the additional ability to draw elemental shards towards the active character and deal damage at regular intervals.
* SweetTooth: He loves sweets, with his top favorites being cake and dango, because he rarely gets to enjoy them at war.
* TakingYouWithMe: Attempts to embarrass Yae Miko by revealing his entire hand, banking on his own PsychologicalProjection. It [[EpicFail failed spectacularly]]. [[spoiler:Unbeknownst to him at the time, Miko actually does have a tail. 5 of them.]]

* VirtualCelebrity: The effect of him being an [[spoiler:anonymous correspondent for Yae Publishing House is this. Yae Miko fashioned a female alter-ego for him named Ms. Hina, and this became a full blown example of this trope after Miko went all the way and designed an image of Ms. Hina to put an actual face behind his now popular advice column, based on Gorou's features. This effectively makes him a sort of prototype [=VTuber=] in a medieval setting.]]

!Sangonomiya Shrine

!Sangonomiya Resistance
A rebellion organized by Watatsumi islanders in opposition to the Vision Hunt Decree, reinforced with dissidents from all corners of Inazuma who either lost their Visions or opposed the Shogunate's excesses.

[[folder:General Tropes]]
* BadassArmy: Despite the clear numerical inferiority and the fact that the enemy army is in the service of a PhysicalGod. Thanks to Kokomi's strategies and Gorou's leadership, they were able to win some battles against the Shogunate Army, though by the time of the Traveler's recruitment, they are still in a desperate enough situation to [[spoiler:unwittingly allow the Fatui to infiltrate their ranks and take advantage of it]].
* BloodKnight: Swordfish Unit is a division within the Watatsumi Army, and are all very eager for a good fight. Some of the Watatsumi soldiers have shades of this as well. [[spoiler:In a deconstruction, this made them unable to let go of their grudges, and are very willing to spread false info just so they can restart the war against the Shogunate's army and avenge their fallen comrades.]]
* BlueIsHeroic: Their banner is blue, and they oppose the Vision Hunt Decree that endangers innocents.
* LaResistance: They banded together when the Vision Hunt Decree is in effect and wanted to end the Shogun's tyranny.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: They are noticeably [[MildlyMilitary less disciplined]] compared to their Shogunate counterparts (and that includes mercenaries within their ranks), moreso the Swordfish Unit, as they have a tendency to argue and get on each other's throats.
* ResistanceAsPlanned: [[spoiler:In the last third of the Inazuma Archon Quest, the Traveler discovers that, as part of the Fatui PlayingBothSides of the civil war, they supplied the Resistance with Delusions, ostensibly to help their efforts, but in reality to make them test subjects. By the time Kokomi discovers it, several of her soldiers have suffered ill effects, with a few, including Teppei, having rapidly aged to death from overuse.]]
* RightForTheWrongReasons: When Heizou arrived at Watatsumi, the Resistance was put on high alert and kept tabs on him on the suspicion of espionage despite stating that he was on vacation; the fact that he had the audacity to walk around in full Tenryou Commission uniform did not help, either. [[spoiler:On one hand, the Resistance's caution was warranted, as Heizou was sent by Kujou Takayuki on a reconnaissance mission; on the other hand, Heizou had so little respect for the Tenryou Commissioner that he simply abandoned it.]]

[[folder:Tsuyuko]]
!!Tsuyuko
A Sangonomiya shrine maiden who according to Kokomi is one of the most dependable of her disciples. She is the NPC who The Traveler must interact with to begin the quest chain which unlocks Enkanomiya.

* ContraltoOfDanger: In contrast to the breathy quality of Kokomi, Tsuyuko has a significantly deeper voice.
* DeadpanSnarker: She slips in a lot more irreverence than you'd expect out of a devoted shrine maiden, snarking heavily about the trials and ceremonies she has The Traveler go through, their role as a hero, and even some digs at ''Kokomi'' herself.
* ShipperOnDeck: She quite obviously thinks Kokomi and The Traveler (whether Aether or Lumine) make a cute couple. At one point she refers to them talking to her together as a date, and giggles when Paimon refers to Kokomi by name instead of her title. Kokomi actually has to threaten to reassign her to Specter watching to force her to shut up.

On the westernmost end of the Inazuman archipelago lay the island of Watatsumi, ruled autonomously by the Sangonomiya Clan, currently led by Kokomi, worshippers of the serpentine deity Orobashi who, according to legends, rescued the ancestors of the islanders from the underground nation of Enkanomiya, and whose death at the hands of the Raiden Shogun centuries ago lay at the root of centuries-old tensions with the Shogunate to the east. In the present, these tensions would erupt into civil war following the Shogun ratifying the repressive Sakoku and Vision Hunt Decrees, with the ensuing resistance from Watatsumi having grown their ranks with dissidents from Shogunate-ruled territory.

One of the farthest islands of Inazuma and homeland of most of the members of the resistance army, led by priestess Sangonomiya Kokomi. It's rumoured that most of the people of Watatsumi descend from the original inhabitants of Enkanomiya.\\\

[[folder:Sangonomiya Resistance]]
A band of resistance forces based on Watatsumi Island. They are formed specifically to oppose the Vision Hunt Decree and consist of members who either has their Visions confiscated or those that want to protect the innocents from further harm.

* RightForTheWrongReasons: When Heizou set his foot on Watatsumi Island, the entire military force is put on high alert and kept surveillance on him out of fear that he might be conducting an investigation (him being on full uniform doesn't help the issue) despite insistence that he is simply enjoying his tour there. [[spoiler:In a way they're right, as it turns out, Heizou was tasked by Kujou Takayuki to conduct a covert investigation on the island to gather intelligence during the war. What they didn't know was that he eventually got tired of the old man and simply abandoned the mission. Not that he would admit this to the Watatsumi soldiers though.]]

'''Utility Passive 1:''' Flawless Strategy (Confers a 25% Healing Bonus buff in exchange for a -100% Critical rate penalty)\\

Divine Priestess of Watasumi Island and namesake leader and strategist of the Resistance against the Vision Hunt Decree. As leader of both the island and the rebellion, she provides shelter to people who fear losing, or already lost, their Visions and people who chose to fight back against the nation's state of affairs, even as she struggles to take on so many responsibilities for a girl of her age.\\

As Kokomi formulates her best strategy for a decisive victory, the healing potency of both the Bake-Kurage and normal/charged attacks enhanced with Ceremonial Garb increase for allies with less than half their HP; triggering ''Nereid's Ascension'' resets the duration of a Bake-Kurage present; and the Ceremonial Garb gains the ability to add a fish-shaped extra hit at the end of her standard combo and augment her normal attacks with a speed boost and low Energy restoration, as well as a Hydro damage buff whenever her attacks heal allies with over 80% HP.\\

** While she's certainly gifted for it, running the Resistance doesn't lessen her woes. While she's doing a good job all things considered, the Resistance is still vastly disadvantaged against the Shogunate and in turn requires all the help they can get, such as when they're forced to accept help from a mysterious backer despite her concerns, [[spoiler:which prove justified when it's revealed that they're the Fatui, who are [[NotInThisForYourRevolution not so much invested in their cause as much as interested in using the rebels as test subjects for their mass-produced Delusions]].]] And even after the war ground to a ceasefire, she has to deal with [[spoiler:hot-blooded soldiers actively sabotaging peace talks with the Shogunate to continue the war out of lingering resentment]].

* CombatMedic: Her moveset is oriented around providing damage and healing in equal measure. Her Elemental Skill creates a jellyfish that deals wide-ranging Hydro damage at intervals like Mona's, but instead of a taunt it will also heal nearby allies. Her Burst, in a similar vein to Barbara's Skill, allows her to heal her allies with each normal attack while it's active, while also increasing the damage of her attacks based on her Max HP and Healing Bonus, which are the stats used for her heals.

** Both are lead opposing sides of Inazuma's civil war. Near the climax of the Inazuma Archon Quest, Kokomi also orders [[spoiler:the seizure of all Delusions distributed to the Resistance by the Fatui, not unlike the Raiden Shogun's Vision Hunt Decree, albeit for a more justifiable cause that the Delusions are quickly killing off their users]]. Finally, similar to how Kokomi will sometimes hole herself up in her home to unwind, [[spoiler:the real Raiden Shogun, Ei, is often ensorcelled in the Plane of Euthymia and away from the real world]].

** Upon discovering [[spoiler:the peace talk saboteurs and [[ShamingTheMob making the weight of their actions clear]], [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone causing them to rethink their actions]]]], she decides that their punishment is to go through grueling training to become the island's security force, recognizing that while both sides need to be more open, neither can afford to let their guard, especially with [[spoiler:still-existing corruption in the Tenryou Commission]], with the added benefit of allowing them to let out their pent-up aggression. She then however states in no uncertain terms that she won't let them off next time for any acts of insubordination.

** Gorou is also a very old-fashioned Japanese name that quite literally means "5th son". And, well, he's the 5th son in his family.

* OddFriendship: He immediately makes good friends with Itto at the ''Akitsu Kimodameshi'' event, with Gorou being calm and polite, and Itto extroverted and impulsive. While they both discuss their shared love for fishing, their methods are very different: Gorou likes fishing by hand, while Itto finds it more fun using a fishing rod. [[spoiler:Also Itto can’t tell Gorou is Ms. Hina (Gorou doesn’t even know about the Ms. Hina stunt) despite all the contrived coincidences.]] In Itto’s words about Gorou, he can feel a familiar feeling from Gorou just talking to him.
