I don't talk about it too much since any confirmation of it is a long ways off but I've made a few theories on Murata and Natlan already.
But there is a problem I've recently discovered with it. Also there is a clarification that does end up helping my theory but even if it didn't I think it would help any of my fellow theorycrafters out as they come up with their own ideas.
So first that.
There is an idea that we actually saw which of the 3 yakshas died. If you look at the masks in the teaser as they crack you can actually see blood splash off the Geo, Pyro and Electro masks and there are blood stains left on them after. This should mean they are dead. And that leaves the Hydro mask right?
I've been seeing tons of people saying the Hydro mask doesn't have blood when it cracks but I think that's because the lighting just happens to get bright where it counts. As you can see from this image the Hydro mask also has blood at the top. So this can't be used as any hint on who's Bosacius.
So that would help my theory right? But now I found something. The Chinese for Xiao's yaksha name just means Garuda so that's really easy to connect to his Anemo element. His Latin name is Alatus and means winged. But Latin is where it gets complicated because Latin has genders. I actually used that to my advantage for disproving that Makoto is the original Electro Archon.
But this time it works against my theory. The -us at the end of Alatus makes the name masculine. Meanwhile Indarias and Menogias are feminine names. Based on that Indarias and Menogias should be the Pyro and Hydro yaksha and Bosacius and Bonanus have to be the remaining 2 male yaksha.
And no good going off the original Chinese this time. As far as I can tell they don't mean anything outside of the game. From what I could find Bosacius has the Chinese name 浮舍 that might mean something like "letting the thing you are willing to give up float away." Great for a Buddhist reference if it was even a real term.
But funny enough as I was looking all this stuff up it turns out the CN players mostly think it's Pyro that survived too.
So that's where we stand right now. According to the Latin names Alatus proves Xiao is a guy and also that Bosacius shouldn't be one of the girls. Meanwhile the stuff I pointed out last time also made it not likely that Bosacius was anybody but the Pyro yaksha. And now that I think about it my other theory on Murata works great if her Chinese yaksha name is 浮舍.
What do you guys think?
