As Genshin Impact continues to receive updates, with its ever-expanding world-building and increasingly complex mechanics, I’ve found myself struggling to keep up—each new patch leaves me feeling more and more unfamiliar with the game. On top of that, becoming a father has further distanced me from Genshin.

Yet among all the versions, the one that truly etched itself into my memory remains 2.1, titled “Time Flies, Moonlight Illuminates All Worlds.” That particular Inazuma storyline—the portrayal of Raiden Shogun, her unwavering convictions, and her inner conflicts—still stands as one of the most compelling characterizations in my mind.

Even her weapons reflect this: compared to her signature weapon, “Kamisato’s Reflection,” the Narukami Katana feels far more aligned with the essence I associate with the Thunder God—its sharp purple hues and somber golden accents evoke both the beliefs and burdens she carries, as well as the unbreakable bonds and past she cannot let go of.

The finished model measures 80 cm in length. To ensure durability and playability, load-bearing components were printed horizontally; this approach not only minimizes warping but also yields structural strength several times greater than vertical printing.

If you enjoy it, I’ll take some time later to develop an illuminated version.
