I know, I know, I do sound a little crazy as I'm trying to explain to you, that the Chief Justice Neuvillette is some sort of TikTok star, but hear me out! (And let's be real, I probably am.)

To be fair, I think if he would know what TikTok was, he couldn’t care less about some superficial and irrelevant social media app, yet his face is all over said platform! But how did our Hydro dragon end up being the next trendsetter?

Genshin Impact: How Neuvillette Became A TikTok Star

The answer is as simple as it is unexpected: He has a super nice voice and an even more soothing way to talk, which makes people wanting to dance to it, basically. I know, it still sounds a bit strange, doesn’t it? …

Neuvillette Makes You Want To Dance

To make this all make a bit more sense, I should probably be a bit more specific. It is important to note, that we are purely talking about the English version of Genshin Impact.

“You wouldn't exactly describe the Iudex of Fontaine as “approachable.” It's hard to say whether it's just in his nature, or because he has secrets to hide.” — About Neuvillette

Since the Hydro region Fontaine is based on the city of Paris from our real world, among other things, it is not too far off that you can repeatedly find French terms all across this part of the map.

One of said terms which is used quite frequently is the name of a machine which can be found in the Court of Fontaine's Opera Epiclese. Neuvillette as the main judge uses this overdimensional scale to verify his previously made judgments. Of course, we are speaking of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale! That's quite the tongue twister, isn’t it? — And that's exactly the point!

Since this machine's name is so hard to pronounce for non-French speaking people like most of us are, it is quite satisfying to hear Neuvillette saying this phrase over and over again without any struggles! Props to Ray Chase who is the voice actor behind Neuvillette's English version for getting this out so fluently!

Ever since players noticed how satisfying this exact name sounds, they decided t****here is just ONE logical thing to do out of this now: Let's make it a TikTok trend! — And what are they doing exactly, you may ask? They dance to it, obviously! To be precise, the point of this trend is to only dance, when Neuvillette is saying his magical words and to freeze up again, if he stops.

The Dance Is Taking Over

Even some of the biggest Genshin influencers like the YouTuber and Streamer Tuonto stared catching up on this fun little trend! Just take a look at it for yourself as Tuonto is showing us how it's done:

Look actually pretty fun, right?!

TikTok videos like this, have incredible amounts of views after a short amount of time. Tuonto reached round 500,000 people with his version of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale dance. The point is by the way not to dance in a good-looking way, you have to do it as strange and goofy as possible of course!

Would you give this little dance a try? Many others did so what's the harm, am I right? I love how Genshin players find ways to make social media trends out of their favorite game, which leave other TikTok users completely clueless what is even going on.
