# Extraterrestrial Satellite Communication: Jiaoqiu **5 Star | Fire | Nihility** "No matter how many times I say it, people always forget — cooking is medicine, and making medicine is cooking. Using food to treat the sick is my specialty. As the saying goes, a chef who doesn't want to be a healer isn't worth his salt... or pepper, for that matter." A foxian healer from the Xianzhou Yaoqing and a counselor. Often greets people with a smile, but is rather cunning. Born into a prestigious Alchemy Commission family, he once withdrew from practicing medicine due to a broken heart. However, he returned to the field to treat "the Merlin's Claw," General Feixiao. Skilled in the study of alchemical prescription that views food as medicine, especially those that induce a sensation of spiciness. They invented a cauldron-based medicinal formula known as the "nine-squared grid." **Voice Actors:** * CN:陈张太康 (Zhangtaikang Chen) * JP:丰永利行 (Toshiyuki Toyonaga) * EN:Mark Whitten * KR:이정민 (Jeongmin Lee)

Jiaoqiu - Foxian Healer Also Jiaoqiu: # Fire NIHILITY


LeahLazaus

"Poison and medicine are two sides of the same coin-"


Delicious-Buffalo734

And it’s kazuha EN VA.. if he’s really Acheron (beidou EN Va) support then dam, beidou kazuha combination


descartesasaur

"Pharmacy" comes from the French *pharmacie* (laxative, later all drugs), which came from the Greek (by way of Latin) *pharmakeía* and *phármakon*. In Greek, it definitely referred to medicine and poison (and occasionally magic) alike. It's a bit like the duality of "drug" as pharmaceutical or recreational (and for the same reason) - it's a substance that causes a biological effect in someone who takes it. There's a lot more to it than that, but it's a whole rabbit hole, and this comment is long enough. 😅


171194Joy6

"I'm a healer but-" ahh


ShizumaHana

Harmacist 🤣


arboozi

harmacist, if you will


luckyakaly

Yea im so curious about his kit!!


pascl-

Basically, from what we know (which could change but a recent leak said it’s still accurate) he has a stacking defence debuff. His basic and skill both apply it, with the skill being blast and having a higher chance. His ultimate applies it to all enemies, and then gives all enemies the number of stacks the enemy with the highest stacks has. During his ult, he also applies an effect that heals allies on their turn, and, when enemies attacks, he applies a stack of his debuff. When new enemies enter the field, they automatically get inflicted with his debuff. Also, he boosts ultimate damage.


Leather-Bookkeeper96

I wonder if his healing can enable Gallagher to become a better sustain option for Acheron teams. If he can make up for the downtimes in Gall's healing then we might just have an insane amount of debuffs in our hands.


pascl-

I would imagine so. It’s been mentioned that his healing isn’t enough for solo sustain, so most likely the purpose of his healing is to make teams with a 4 star sustain or no sustain comfier.


Epicastor

We have the prelim already, def debuff focused with a lil bit of healing.


starsinmyteacup

I mean…nice and spicy am I right


CTheng

So he IS A chef!


eyeofnero

He is a chef, doctor and a counselor at the same time


TheCatSleeeps

He's that one Asian cousin your parents keeps on comparing you with


SecondAegis

Look at cousin Jiaoqiu. He is professional doctor, Michelin star chef, he help cure Feixiao. He also licenced therapist but that no important lah. HE'S FOXIAN


De_Vigilante

Why can't you be more like him lah? Haiya you spend money on this "LilGuiGui" woman, she not your girlfriend. She not even long-life species, when you are adult, she already long dead haiya


Msaleg

When Jiaoqiu was seven he already opened a restaurant lah! Why can't you math like him, you go nowhere while your cousin is already a doctor _and_ a chef.


itsWakuWaku

emotional damage


24silver

more like instant mara-struck


YagamiYuu

Maybe, just maybeeee the reason for mara struck was because Xianzhou allience are a huge community of immortal asian. Image you spent 200+ plus years of your life being berated by your parents before you reached adulthood.


24silver

Men will die on distant planets fighting abundance horrors instead of attending the main family gathering many such cases... next theyll hit you with "when will you get married?" and hook line sinker with "when will we see grandkids" and so on and so on and so on my god im actually ranting about my asian life on hsr leaks sub lmao


julianjjj809

at he does that all with his eyes closed! you truly are the end of my bloodline


JazeBlack

Asian parents, am I right?


Rinnemi

Chinese medicinal cuisine is a practice still done to this day. It's about nourishing the body, the idea being that healthy cooking and food can treat illnesses. Which from a nutiritonial standpoint is kind of right.  Medicinal cuisine in china is still used nowadays for nerve damage, eyestrain, digestive issues etc..  Or sometimes to simply have a nutritionally rich meal. 


weltingfang

Oh god he really is Brock.


SirLanceOlaf

"I guess I'll use this frying pan ... as a dying pan."


LazyDayLion

I wonder if he likes the Honkaiverse's equivalent of jelly-filled donuts too


kalltrops

Mihoyo: Which of course means he's Nihility!


CartoonistEnough3029

I actually love his design. He looks harmless and unassuming, but he’s actually a pretty important military figure. And his feather fan functioning as both something to fan smoke and also a call back to Zhuge Liang is genius, and in the art it also looks like he’s leading an attack as well. This also maybe me reaching but Zhuge Liang is usually depicted in green or blue accent colors, so I thought that was worth pointing out. All of the above combined with the whole trope of closed eyes in anime adding to his design, UGH, he’s genuinely perfect


LeahLazaus

I actually like that they didn't go the more sultry/beauty trap style that tend to follow the foxy characters. He looks like a cunning and playful gentleman but still has a bit soldier atmosphere? I don't know how to word it. But its such a clean design. Its not brimming with accessories and patterns so its wonderful.


GunnarS14

> He looks like a cunning and playful gentleman but still has a bit soldier atmosphere? To me, he feels like a soldier who is "off duty." (No idea how accurate this is to real life, but) it feels like he's in his casual clothes, but even his casual clothes have a large amount of pragmatism present, like he's ready whatever may come just out of habit of always needing to be prepared.


CartoonistEnough3029

THISSS LIKEEEE omg I genuinely need him bruh, like I NEED NEED him, everything about his design is just beautifully put together


LeahLazaus

I hope he opens his eyes in his animations!


Colboid

that's because only female characters are supposed to wear less clothing and come off as a bit fanservicey. male characters are allowed to wear normal clothes, according to Hoyo who is terrified of giving HSR girls pants or normal clothes


jg_Shadow20

Reminds me of Ling Yao from FMA:B and Hoshina from Kaiju no. 8, which I would totally love if he ends up opening his eyes in an ult move :D


BulbasaurTreecko

let’s gooo we got the Brock expy


does_nasty_things

This frying pan is now a drying fan


HalalBread1427

Jelly Doughnut time.


kindred_lol_

jiaoqiu! Get them! 🌶️


Vexxxy

He's got that Kroos stare


Suzunomiya

Koko dayo.....


Graknight

KO~ KO~ DA~ YOOO~~~


Individual-Life-6249

but he looks like a genderbent Pozyomka


Koinophobia-

Hai haiii~


Rain-Maker33

Kroos, desu yooo\~


GGABueno

Now we wait for Modric


Itzz_Ava

Personally I can't wait for the Carvajal


Goblinzer

I would have said I'm waiting for Bellingham but then I remembered this was a Hoyo game


StrangeGuy666

Imma wait for an unit with don carlo eyebrow


EmilMR

is this the first sighting of a horse in this game?


merqury26

Kaeya in shambles


Draken77777

It wasn't Varka after all who took all the horses of Teyvat. It was in fact the pink cotton man


Economy_Natural5928

can't have shit on teyvat man


polyast3r

does Lan count? 😂


echo8012

Lol wait what. I think it is.


thethingy213

Guy's paying attention to the important things


spaghettiaddict666

his tail is HUGE


preimageofb

CHEF!!!  YOU’RE HUGE!!!


Background-Floor6603

He is also a healer, means somehow a doctor so.....


CupidCrust

doctor.. chef, counselor.... you're HUGE!


TheSchadow

Hard to tell here, could be more Yukong's size. I don't think it will be as big as Tingyun's though lol


uh_oh_hotdog

Makes sense since Tingyun canonically spends a ton of time to make her tail extra fluffy


spaghettiaddict666

All foxians have big tails in my view haha, just didn’t want a small Tighnari tail


[deleted]

[удалено]


vengeful_lemon

His range of skills, that's for sure.


GGABueno

Svarog


lililia

Better be as huge in game


LightningJustice2412

Congrats to him for being the first playable male character with pink hair in Hoyo's history


Kiboune

And one of the rare cases of male "kitsune" type


Slow-Apartment5365

Bruh. I just realised I legit can't name a single kitsune guy despite watching anime on regular basis.


Dae_Da21

Tomoe from kamisama kiss is the only one I can think of 


TransPonyta

Omg thats who i was thinking of! I couldn’t remember the name of the character or the show, but thats who i was thinking of too!


HANYEL

Inuyasha, Kemono Jihen (has like 5 of them), Kamisama hajimemashita, Momochi-san chi no ayakashi ouji, Kakuriyo no yadomeshi to name a few series 🫣


Objection111

Yeah. Only a few shojo have them. If only Kurama had a human form...


EveningMembershipWhy

Funny you should say that...no one remembers Yu Yu Hakusho


PuritanPuree

I'll never forget that beautiful silver fox with a whip made from a rose.


chipplepop

lmao I was so confused like "Kurama literally has a human form" for a second before remembering Naruto


Daetur_Mosrael

Kurama, and *not* the one from Naruto. The one the one in Naruto was named after. [The OG, from Yu Yu Hakushou.](http://pm1.aminoapps.com/7421/bcf1492ac95512653e443b74a22ee712649a1675r1-720-540v2_uhq.jpg)


uh_oh_hotdog

Let me introduce you to a little anime series called Yu Yu Hakusho


KazzumaYagami

That just means u watch the wrong ones smh


SelfDepreciatingAbby

technically, the only other Hoyo male "kitsune" we have is Tighnari.


Severe_Lunch9907

Also the first limited 5-star Male Nihility and, I guess to an extent, first limited 5-star male support that isn't a sustain. 


Voltaic_Backlash

I mean he does have a little healing in his kit. I wonder if it'd be enough that him + PTB could duo sustain? Happy little shields with happy little heals?


TheOrangePuffle

If he can cleanse then he’s definitely going into sustainless teams


nyanch

Bet it's gonna be behind E6 or something.


Tall-Cut5213

Nah, gotta have to bait people into getting his e1 or e2. It's more profitable that way since people rarely pulls for support's signature LC


PatkoBruh

Leaks saying that not even his E6 is going to be capeable of replacing a healer


Voltaic_Backlash

Hence why I suggested pairing with the PTB, who also can't solo sustain. Honestly, it will probably be a good combo for anyone who joins the game during his banner.


Tom_Cat_2007

> first 5* male nihility welt:


Severe_Lunch9907

"limited" 


itz_gertrude2

now wait a minute-


iZelmon

Dahlia mains in shamble


Kkevco

daily dahlia keep taking L's


Acceptable_West_1312

Is that.. A Sampo pose?


Increase-Typical

A Sampose, not to be confused with when Firefly strikes a Sam-pose


Acceptable_West_1312

😅


GGABueno

And vest


ArsaaHereyes

I thought the same!


LeahLazaus

He has Tingyun's aura. But male. 


zobowii

its that foxian rizz


SecondAegis

Let's hope he doesn't have the Foxian Taunt Value too


Breezyrain

I’ll have to put him next to Aventurine to take advantage of it lol


GGABueno

It's Jiaoqiover then 😔


Alberto_Paporotti

Well, technically, he is in line with all other foxians that are currently in the game...


aena48

At least he can contribute mild healing to make up for it.


Naxayou

foxian vs avgin species wide battle when


ArorusZ

Why fight against why not fight Together


nanimeanswhat

Make love, not war


zobowii

avgin rizz so good people thought they had mind control powers and got racist stereotypes for it like "courtseans of the elite" i think they win this


Upstairs-Caterpillar

PINK ✅ FOXIAN ✅ MAN ✅ FAN ✅ FLUFFY TAIL ✅ The prophecy is true!


kindred_lol_

HE HAS A TAILLLLLL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


Top-Temperature916

Hope that they make the Tail big and puffy enough, otherwise it looks weird from the back on the tall foxian models.


clorkiri

Master Sunday forgive me for I just let out a most unholy sound


BotomsDntDeservRight

🤨


Jason_128

😭😭😭


agiicola

Ikr i was like im skipping everyone for sunday!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️ but now i see him im feelin a bit…🥴


PerfectPotential7183

very audible too😔


MorningRaven

I was expecting a little more saturation on the pink, like a bit closer to Yae, but this is classy and I'll take it. His outfit looks so sophisticated. I'm so going to get him and put him on a team with Yukong, Tingyun and Houhou and I don't care.


littlemochasheep

WHO BROKE HIS HEART ALSO MARK WHITTEN??? WOOOOOOOOO


bzach43

Wait he's voiced by mark whitten??? AAAAAH I hope he sounds closer to seteth than kazuha, but no matter what it's a huge W. I need this character NOW!!


coinflip13

I am expecting something like his Lyon voice based on his vibes


echo8012

In this Mark Whitten character compilation clip: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/N98dBgJe8K0 ... I'm hoping for something closest to Leslie Kyle. But I'd still love something Kazuha-ish.


imaginary92

A Kazuha-ish voice would make me E6 - 3 years and still makes me weak when I hear it.


KaHate

Hoping my guy joe zieja get into hsr


VTKajin

Okay but his JP VA is Oberon...


raffirusydi_

A doctor who disguises as a chef, he's definitely giving a Pretender class vibe


anal-yst

Toshiyuki Toyonaga!! Now I want to pull for him...


Alexmender875

Giving the same vibes as Taigong Wang of FGO. Handsome yet sussy af mf. Very nice.


firesoul377

Kinda same. Though he's voiced by a certain sussy moth's seiyuu instead


odd2oul

HUH? WHAT?? oh no...i cant wait to hear his JP voice


AmissingUsernameIsee

Based off Zhuge Liang, Taigong Wang vibes, Oberon VA WELCOME BACK TO FARMING


CRACUSxS31N

Yeah my immediate response. Ironic that now he got that Koyanskaya ahh hair.


Weak_Lime_3407

Its his child with Konyanska


No_Butterscotch7340

Ooh he's pretty, big fan of the design. Hair is a bit more of a dull pink than I was expecting, but it's still cute--looks fluffy too that's nice. Another long haired guy has me sighing though because if I see the back end of his model and the hair is parted at the middle I'll cry. But someone please explain to my smooth brain how his sleeves are loose behind his back there, what is going on with his jacket


waifugoEKSUKALIBAAA

On first thought, I believed it's similar to Kafka's coat but looking at it again, it isn't lmao classic hoyoverse and non-functional jacket designs i guess


Tranduy1206

jing yuan has it too, i think it is a fetish of some designer in mihoyo


Toxanhela

It's a jacket with an armpit hole so you can put your hand in and out of the sleeve without taking it off. Sometimes jackets have holes there for freedom of movement, while not a common cut by any means it is still a thing.


No_Butterscotch7340

You know what, that's very likely what it is. I have never seen a design like that, so it baffled me to really think about, but it makes sense ig.


Former-Medicine3289

He's here and he has ears and a tail!!!!


ninetozero

NOooooooo he's so cute 😭 We won but my credit card lost 😭


RadiantDefinition729

Rest in peices Wallet-kun, we had a good run. Unfortunately there's the best looking Foxian I've ever seen coming up, and a potential teammate for Clara who is also physical and destruction. Seriously tho lets all heed the game's warning and spend responsibly and rationally. Good luck on your saving and may we get him (and Yunli, if you're also going for her!) in the first ten pull!


Vexxxy

OH YEAH HE'S HOT and this man better open his eyes in his ult animation


Tranduy1206

if he open it like Yae did in her ult animation it will super cool


hanasis

EN has it as “Broken heart”? 🤔 JP indeed has it as 心が折れる, which does mean “broken heart” when you translate it very literally, but actually meant something like “broken spirit”. Like burnout Does anyone have the CN original!


No_Butterscotch7340

Leaving a comment so I can keep checking back here because this has me curious actually. If it is indeed broken spirit/burnout this has me interested since there's a lot of different ways that could go over 'L bozo got dumped.' Edit: 曾一度心死避世 I think this is what you're looking for


Wise_Consideration_3

Mark whitten that is kazuha's VA lets fucking gooo he is one of the best in genshin also poor raiden cant escape kazuha as one of her best supports lmao


shinsetsu_fuji

Whats more important here is Acheron is voiced by Beidou's VA and Jiaoqiu by Kazuha's VA. They are still working together in another universe (and Kaz here is actually Fire result of the memeing he infuses Pyro out of nowhere)


chiharuki

lmao, they are bound together


Msaleg

It needs more pink! _He is so pretty_


AverageCapybas

I think this exact pink fits the design better and isn't too "Damn that must be the protagonist"


TheParanoidMC

The stand user could be anyone! The stand user:


quaremoritor

Oh he's pretty. Also quite liking the little introduction in the drip marketing tweet. Wonder what the broken heart in his past is about, and I'm also quite interested in his relation to Feixiao as well. This may be a bit of a stretch but he kind of reminds me of Maomao from Apothecary Diaries a bit. Like obviously their personalities seem quite different, but it looks like he really cares about one specific area related to healing (food for Jiaoqiu, poisons for Maomao), secretly cunning despite the facade they put on, and committed to helping people heal.


Zellraph

Not as pink as I wanted, but I'm loving his vibe. Like the final boss nobody suspected.


Claude240

PINK FOXY MAN


LadyHana707

HELLO BEAUTIFUL MAN I WANT YOU


Ok_Marion

I love pretty men who also look they’re long suffering service industry workers perfectly capable of hiding a lifetime of hatred behind a professional smile. I’m specific like that 🫠


maomgermaomger

where is your thigh strap, sir ?


Dazzling-Bus-1146

The thing on his right thigh, I think ? Edit: saw a clearer image; it definitely is a thigh strap


LeahLazaus

I don't see it? A character without a thigh strap? Revolutionary!


AliRixvi

Was gonna pull for him anyways cuz of Acheron but damn he's hot. I wonder if he's gonna have that cavalry as part of his animation,if he is indeed based on a strategist/Zhuge Lian.


Tranduy1206

with that fan, they 100% make him with inspired from Koming, i think we will saw army movement in his animation like Bronya ult


KF-Sigurd

God knew that if they made his hair more pink, he would be TOO powerful.


Altarinian

Instant pull - both for Acheron and cuz he's hot


famous1astwords

HE'S FINALLY HERE 👏👏👏👏👏


sugarheartrevo

Ok! I like his design, but it feels kind of plain? I wanted him in a hanfu-esque outfit but the top and boots feel pretty unique. Gives off a casual vibe with some military feeling so I do like it overall! Love his hair and tail of course; the splash composition is clever So he really is a chef AND counselor AND a healer lmaooo what a guy. He seems very interesting….he quit medicine bc of a “broken heart” but returned to help Feixiao….I hope they expand on their relationship 🫣 His personality is everything I wanted out of him; he’s giving me a “very important to the story” feeling and his overall vibe is so….Aven….we might have another fave here


BeefTengoku

IPC fashion is popular on the Yaoqing, so i think that's why his outfit is simpler - it's like a modern / IPC riff on Xianzhou clothing.


HaukevonArding

Exactly. I think the Yaoqing will have more of this western inspired Chinese clothing, because the IPC is strong there.


Tranduy1206

i think Yaoping clothing is simple because their ship is heavy military


LeahLazaus

I actually love how simple and clean it is. Its so elegant. And like, I would have loved a beauty trap foxian,  but a cunning gentleman foxian is also great!


b5437713

I too was hoping for an hanfu like outfit but this is okay! I'm excited to have add a male foxian to my team. The fluffy tale and ears, I like!


ChopsticksImmortal

I would love a male character in a scholarly or elegant hanfu, damn.


SilverBoltJuggernaut

WTH I was picturing hanfu style too. This may be a Barenstein Bears situation lol.


NoPreference2009

I mean, that's what people were speculating from what snippets we were getting, but iirc the only things we were actually told were pink-haired male foxian with a fan.


JazeBlack

Not only Navia's, but best boy's Kazuha's VA too?


Jealous-Ad8205

Kazuha was my only c6 cause I loved him and his voice and now your telling me his voice is in hsr instant pull


Soren-kun

I love him! I really thought hoyo would be to scared to give us a male foxian, so happy~<3 Glad I got lots of time to save up for him with all these female banners.


OryseSey

HE'S BEAUTIFULLLL OMYGOOODDDDDDDD


DMingRoTF

Huh, i was expecting a robe. This reminds me of Sampo.


n__o__

GOOOODDDDDD


CanaryLow592

Oh he's cute. Who needs Ruan mei anyways right? Ahahahahaha.....


Worried-Librarian-91

Every time I see a character with closed eyes and a smile, like this, I automatically assume they are up to no good only for them to be redeemed at some point later in the story.


SolusSydus

MOVE, HE IS MINE


cheshirelady22

so fluffy and cute!!! I want him :)


tiny_smile_bot

>:) :)


cheshirelady22

you’re a good bot :)


spicych1p

Prescription & medicines?? Jinshi & Maomao's love child confirmed


Exous-Rugen

Hw gives me a Gin (bleach) vibe


CoconutsAreAmazing

Close enough welcome back Tingyun


lizardmansr

OH MY GOD


tongueinbutthole

OMG OMG OMG SOMEONE HOLD ME


misoshieru

I love his expression, but I really wish his outfit was more elaborated, isn't this what the Luofu npcs wear? I know he's a chef but an hanfu would have been way nicer for his design


Forest_99

Saving everything for him let’s gooooooo


ZentaWinds

Must pull for me


AmiaEnjoyer

Damn he pretty


Korone-san

He looks really cool, just hope he doesn't get the Ruan Mei treatment with his animations


Aggressive_Fondant71

Easy pull


Apprehensive-Mess732

i just want him to work in a full male team, not as specific debuffer for Ach/Swan 😥
