It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Kuki Shinobu mix-up. For those of you who don't know, there was a fan art floating around that everyone claimed was the new Genshin Impact character Kuki Shinobu. It showed a little oni girl in a red outfit, and everyone used this picture when talking about her. Obviously this wasn't her, since she was supposed to be a human with a taller model. However, everyone still assumed this was her. Despite all of the leaks saying otherwise, everyone hoped this little oni girl was her. To no one's surprise, those hopes were crushed. The fan art in question was made by an artist on Twitter, who made a Genshin Impact original character named Sayo. It's unclear where the confusion started, but after the first few times, the confusion spread like wildfire. Of course this was eventually put to rest after the actual Kuki Shinobu was released, but many people were disappointed to find out it wasn't actually the little oni girl. Maybe Mihoyo (or Hoyoverse) will work with the creator of the art to actually make this character a reality. But as for now, I'll be including the link for the artwork below so you guys can check it out for yourselves. Enjoy!
