This is because, until now, his name has only been mentioned within character dialogs in Genshin Impact. However, there has not been any significant story implication of his.It seems that miHoYo has finalized his release in 2.3 itself and will probably release a corresponding story quest as well. Arataki Itto is set to be a Geo Claymore user and is part of the Arataki Gang.Genshin Impact@GenshinImpact"Hello, I'm the deputy of the Arataki Gang.
