Genshin Impact Leaks: What Kazuha Is Doing In Version 2.4
Genshin Impact's Kazuha has appeared in previous quests. With leaks about a new region and quests in 2.4, will Kazuha be part of the proceedings too?
Although Genshin Impact Version 2.4 is still a long way off, rumored leaks and speculations about the return of certain characters, such as Kazuha, have sparked discussions online. Kazuha is a 5-star Anemo character and was the first playable Inazuma resident introduced, and as such, he is expected to be the first Inazuma character to have a rerun Banner. Typically, a character rerun Banner means Genshin Impact will feature a story quest centered on the returning character. As a result, some players may be wondering what Kazuha's role will be in 2.4 if he returns.
As seen by the latest 2.3 update, Genshin Impact's new rerun mechanics might influence the event story quest. For instance, since Albedo and Eula are now available rerun characters, both characters appeared on the same storyline quest. Likewise, a Kazuha character rerun Banner may only happen if another 5-star Inazuma character in Genshin Impact would have a rerun Banner at the same time. Since there have been no leaks about character banners in 2.4, it is still difficult to assume the return of Kazuha and other Genshin Impact characters.
Genshin Impact's Kaedehara Kazuha first appeared in the 1.6 update. He is a wandering samurai and a well-known crew member of the Crux, an armed fleet headed by Liyue character Beidou. While Kazuha made his debut in a previous version of Genshin Impact, the Inazuma character has yet to get his own story quest. Much is already known about Kazuha's backstory, since he has previously appeared in several Archon and story quests. Nonetheless, it would be fascinating to know further about the Inazuman samurai and to look back on his history.
Kazuha rerun speculations have been fueled by leaks revealing that the 2.4 update of Genshin Impact would include a new Inazuma area, Enkanomiya. Kazuha is regarded as an ally and a friend by several Watatsumi residents such as Gorou and Sangonomiya Kokomi in Genshin Impact. Kazuha once joined the Traveler and the resistance in fighting against the Shogun army in the "Stillness, the Sublimation of Shadow" quest series. Consequently, it might be possible that Kazuha will once again join the Traveler in exploring the depths of the hidden region in Watatsumi island.
With Genshin Impact announcing the addition of two new Liyue characters, Shenhe and Yun Jin, it is reasonable to assume that the next update will take place in Liyue. Meanwhile, leaks revealing the return of the Lantern Rite event, which features Xiao and Ganyu of Genshin Impact, have shifted the majority of speculations about the rerun Banner to the two Liyue characters. Nonetheless, the leaks are subject to change as Genshin Impact has yet to confirm details regarding 2.4. Additionally, 2.4 leaks still remain of uncertain value since there have been instances with prior leaks providing incorrect claims.
According to dataminer Project Celestia, previously leaked audio data indicating Kazuha's story quest ended up being a prologue to Inazuma in the actual update. Similarly, some presently known 2.4 leaks may vary upon the release. While it may be unlikely to be included in 2.4, Kazuha's return to Genshin Impact is always a possibility to happen soon.
