Vision Hunt Decree

The was an order given one year prior to the current events of the game by Inazuma's Electro Archon, Ei (as the Raiden Shogun); and the Inazuma Shogunate, to seize all Visions within Inazuma's borders and inlay them upon the hands of a statue of the Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed God. The Tenryou Commission, one of the Tri-Commission, is responsible for executing the decree. In Stillness, the Sublimation of Shadow, it is the reason behind the Vision Hunt Ceremony.
By Chapter II, Act II: Amidst Stormy Judgment, 99 Visions had been seized, and as of Chapter II, Act III: The Omnipresent God, these Visions have been returned to their owners.
==History==
The Vision Hunt Decree began as a Fatui plot to generate conflict to destabilize Inazuma and create a market for their Delusions. They conspired with the Tenryou and Kanjou Commissions, promising Kujou Takayuki their support and generous rewards if he enforced it; Takayuki, believing that the Fatui could not truly pose a threat to Inazuma, agreed, deceiving the Raiden Shogun into perpetuating the decree. Ei, the Raiden Shogun's true identity, was aware of the Fatui's involvement but tacitly approved of the decree regardless, believing that the individual ambition that Visions represented would only cause loss and suffering and was incompatible with her ideal of eternity.
Those who serve the Shogun are seen as exceptions to the Decree so long as they remain useful: Kujou Sara, the general of the Tenryou Commission and the Shogun's bodyguard/aide, remained in possession of her Electro Vision. On the other hand, Kurosawa Kyounosuke, who worked with the Tenryou Commission, had his Vision seized after he was dismissed for "poor" performance.
The decree has stirred controversy across Inazuma. People who do not oppose the government but oppose the Decree have covertly created fake Visions as decoys. The Watatsumi Army, which declared war against the Shogunate, consists of members who have lost or fear losing their Visions, as well as those who oppose the Sakoku Decree that was imposed at the same time as the Vision Hunt Decree. The resistance also helps hide those who are unwilling to fight the Shogun and her army. Those who lost their Visions to the decree began suffering from a loss of ambition, apart from Arataki Itto and Kuki Shinobu, who were seemingly unaffected by the loss of their Visions.
Around the same time the Vision Hunt Decree began, Electro Visions ceased being bestowed upon anyone in Teyvat, although people in Inazuma continued to receive Visions. The matter drew the attention of researchers at the Sumeru Akademiya, who came to believe it was the will of the Electro Archon. However, Ei has denied responsibility and expressed surprise at this occurrence, stating that she is not responsible for the distribution of Visions.
The instability in Inazuma caused by the Vision Hunt and Sakoku Decrees has caused even those without Visions to avoid Inazuma for fear of the danger in the region. One such person is Alrani, who considered traveling there to research the decree, but decided against it after concluding that if those blessed with Visions are suffering, it could be even more dangerous for regular people, which is confirmed by Atsuko and Bibo. Alrani later traveled to Inazuma anyway out of desperation for a research topic, as those related to Inazuma are less popular, and she realized that not having a Vision could be advantageous for conducting research in Inazuma.
In the span of a year, 99 people have had their Visions seized. It is unknown if this includes the fake Visions.
After the Traveler defeated Ei in her realm by showing her the power of the seized Visions' aspirations, she agreed to repeal the decree. The seized Visions were also given back to their rightful owners, provided that they were still alive and/or their current location known.
==Confiscation Status==
===Seized===
* Arataki Itto
* Domon
* Iwakura Mitsunari
* Kuki Shinobu
* Kurosawa Kyounosuke
* Tejima
* Various members of the Watatsumi Army
After the Vision Hunt Decree ended, all seized Visions were reclaimed or returned to their owners, provided they were still alive and in a position to receive their Visions.
===Attempted===
* Hanshirou
* Kaedehara KazuhaYouTube: Character Teaser - "Kaedehara Kazuha: Moonlit Breeze"
* Kazuha's friendThe friend was killed, but his Vision was taken by Kazuha before it could be seized.
* Thoma
* Yoimiya
After the Vision Hunt Decree ended, those who illegally evaded seizure were presumably given amnesty or a pardon. For example, Kazuha's arrest warrant was repealed.
===Unseized===
The following individuals in Inazuma are known to have retained their Visions seemingly without incident during the Vision Hunt Decree:
* Kamisato Ayaka
* Kamisato Ayato
* Kujou Sara
* Sayu
* Thoma, prior to the Vision Hunt Ceremony
* Yae Miko
There are various reasons why these individuals could be seen in public with their Visions for a long period of time without being subjected to attempts at seizure:
* They are serving under the Shogun and enforcing her will, though this was proven to not serve as indefinite protection through the seizure of Kurosawa Kyounosuke's Vision.
* They are affiliated with a clan or organization with high social status, though this was proven to not serve as indefinite protection through the attempted seizure of Thoma's Vision.
* They have a personal relationship with the Raiden Shogun.
Based on the above, the following individuals are likely but unconfirmed to have retained their Visions without incident:
* Shikanoin Heizou
===Unknown===
It is unknown if any of the following individuals in the Watatsumi Resistance have been subjected to any attempt to take their Visions:
* Gorou
* Sangonomiya Kokomi
Additionally, it is unknown when Kirara got her Vision, if she received it before the Vision Hunt Decree ended, and whether she was subjected to any attempts to seize it. It is known that Chiori had left Inazuma for Fontaine when the decrees were enacted, yet had no trouble worth mentioning with leaving Inazuma, indicating that she coincidentally moved just before the decrees were made into law and enforced. The fact that she received her Vision before she started packing to leave the next day would have meant that only her parents, at best, would have learned that she was now a Vision bearer.
==Trivia==
* This event parallels the confiscation of weapons from lower-class Japanese during what is referred to as a throughout Japanese history.
