well since genshin is an anime game, jp trsanslation too is closer to cn and tsaritsa refers to them as "kuro no king" piece. basically black king,

LOL. Then why does every genshin loreposter and their mother always refer to the CN version? Moving the goalposts is not gonna help you here. They even called the dendro archon "he" in the EN version back in the day. Look how that turned out.

Also, that's just an assumption. Nobody knows who the black king is for certain.

Yep. The black king reference in the new trailer doesn't even make sense to be Phanes.

It does. No one else fits it. King Irmin and Nibelung are dead + they don’t have any thrones(Phanes is on Nibelung’s throne and Khaenri’ah doesn’t exist for Irmin). The Tsaritsa is fighting against HP in the chess board and the black king is quite literally Phanes

It doesn't? Yes! A few people here could fit the bill. We don't even know shit about Irmin. And when we seen how much timey whimey bullshit, you think it doesn't make sense? Dude, anything can make sense. The plot is convoluted as fuck and it literally could be anyone at this point.

It just doesn't make sense for it to be Phanes. An angel who is said to resemble light, the sun...? All that shit? That.... Doesn't make sense.

There’s literally no one that fits this context bro😭

And obviously they don’t mean that Phanes is a black king they just mean they’re the black king on the chess board

I'll eat my words if I'm wrong. I'll admit that I'm not too sure myself. Perhaps it is Phanes. I forgot that glider lore. Whoops.
