It's time for another post! But first, let me ask you all a question. What does Genshin Impact have in common with the song Bohemian Rhapsody (made by the amazing band Queen)? The answer is one word: Scaramouche. This post will have some pretty heavy spoilers for Scaramouche's story, so proceed with caution! As many fans have noticed by now, Scaramouche has a lot of references to the song Bohemian Rhapsody. His name is the most noticeable one, but there are so many more. For example, one of his English voice lines mentions he's no fan of dango, which is a reference to Fandango. His mother is also Ei, who is known as Beelzebub (or Beelzebul, depending on who you ask). Scaramouche also wishes he had never been born at all, and he feels like nobody loves him. These are all things that can be found in the song. Along with this, he used the electro gnosis in his boss fight; giving him access to "thunderbolts and lightning". When he gained a vision, it was an anemo vision. Which would be a reference to "any way the wind blows". There are so many more references than this, so I'll be including the link for Bohemian Rhapsody below so you all can see for yourselves. I know other fans have noticed the similarities, but I don't think anyone has realized just how far this goes. Personally I think this makes his character even better, since Bohemian Rhapsody is one of my favorite songs. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!
