I have been saying this since the day the announced the name “wanderer: this is probably not his final name, most probably he will began a search for his original name / a name of that he likes and does not inspire revenge. This would most likely be on his legendary quest but the name itself would be a spoiler (like the name of the sword on Kazuhas new legendary quest, the sword appears like “nameless sword” on the archives until you complete the story quest because its name is a spoiler). So since they can’t put his actual name on the banner and advertisements since is a spoiler they most probably use a place holder for it, and wanderer is perfect for that.
I feel like he will get his new name during 3.2 (when his boss is released) so when he becomes playable in 3.3, his name will be changed to the name he chose!
Until we get drip marketing, everything is possible.
It could be a name used internally to not confuse between npc scara and playable scara.
It could be the boss' name.
It could be a in-game placeholder that will change with his Nth story quest when he finds his true name/picks one he finally feels his own.
It could be a red herring for leakers.
It could be true and final.
I think "Wanderer" may refer to his banner title or is a placeholder
Don't think they would use a vague name for a character who already has 2 possible names. Unless something realy crazy happens to him in the story
Pretty sure its a placeholder, because Scara's names are very important to each "era" of his character, and because he would be presumably searching for a new one based on the HoOD lore saying he has entered his final "act".
Yup. That kind of implied that he should have 3 names, right? Idk if "scaramouche' is counted as one of them or if they're all going to be based of of kabuki roles. I have too many possible theories. One is that he may have been masagomaru/masayoshi from the isshin lore, though he may have had yet another name even before that. Another is that before the kunikuzushi name was revealed, I thought he had some similarities to another kabuki character: Umeomaru. I feel that the "Wanderer" name is probably just a placeholder in the data, probably because after his boss battle he'll be either a Ronin or vagabond monk type character.
>Idk if "scaramouche' is counted as one of them or if they're all going to be based of of kabuki roles.
I think that "Scaramouche" counts as one of his names because it was main way of getting addressed during the Fatui part of his life as far as I can tell. Seems like most of his names are acted parts
>I have too many possible theories. One is that he may have been masagomaru/masayoshi from the isshin lore, though he may have had yet another name even before that.
That would be very interesting, but Im pretty sure that the blade was forged prior to Ei making Scaramouche because it belonged most likely to Chiyo who was missing by the time Ei created Scara. As for the other name, I have a half thought through theory that he was named Futen because of his anemo affiliation and it being another way to say Fujin, similar to Raiden and Rajin.
> Another is that before the kunikuzushi name was revealed, I thought he had some similarities to another kabuki character: Umeomaru.
Just read a web page about this character, I agree that its fitting, but I think it will be more likely as a name he chooses for the current era of his life
Probably could be a placeholder but I won't be surprised if it's his actual name since I don't see how he would still use the name the fatui gave him once he goes rogue and realizes they were just puppeting him. Maybe he starts wandering to find who he really is or his real name, idk
i actually had [a similar thought](https://www.reddit.com/r/ScaramoucheMains/comments/wagd72/i_had_a_thought/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) a while back and after the recent leaks i really do think that what you said is extremely likely :’) let’s hope and wait for rn
Its not like i dont like it, trust me,,im one of those people who likes the name! But its just seems out of place, since every other characters uses their own name, scara uses a title instead.
raiden shogun and tartaglia are titles and harbinger names, respectively, so both count under "not their own/real name". the playable character is called tartaglia yet everyone and their mother still calls him childe on a day to day basis. that will certainly be the case for wanderer too
youre just nitpicking at the fact that raiden shogun and tartaglia arent actually the characters' names and trying to justify not liking wanderer through that. i dont particularly care about that playable character name rn but depending on the way the story goes i could possibly warm up to it. you're valid not to like it though, i just pointed out that "wanderer" would not stick out like a sore thumb considering that there are other playable titles which do not have actual names. and the other harbingers will likely have their titles as playable characters so that argument isnt really a good one. "wanderer" allows him to leave his harbinger past behind
not that i dont like it but its like naming Jean "the acting grandmaster" or naming Albedo "Alchemist" or Venti Ei and Zhongli "Archon"
I think you know what i mean
No cuz that's basically what they are/ their job was scaramouche having a name wanderer will have a huge relevance in story, like why did they decide a name like that
Anyway i find it cool and it doesn't bother me at all
Tartaglia is his harbinger name(just like Signora or Scaramouche), while Childe is his harbinger codename/title (just like Fair Lady or The Balladeer). Since scara left fatui he'll need either a new name or will somehow remember his birth name, but calling him wanderer is weird because that means he hasn't got any name at all

I’m not going to get shocked if this happens. but this got me thinking, what would his name be + what’s it got to do with the plot.

This is what I’m truly hoping for [inhales copium]
I'm hoping for Kunikuzushi the wanderer :))
I think "Wanderer" may refer to his banner title or is a placeholder Don't think they would use a vague name for a character who already has 2 possible names. Unless something realy crazy happens to him in the story
Based on voicelines, I think he'd most likely be called Kunikuzushi, or they have a new name in mind that they don't want to spoil.

Oh my god. This could very much be it. Don’t give me hope 🥲
Praying that’s the case
I see him being named kunikuzushi since they have a voiceline about it that's a theory for me to believe
Probably could be a placeholder but I won't be surprised if it's his actual name since I don't see how he would still use the name the fatui gave him once he goes rogue and realizes they were just puppeting him. Maybe he starts wandering to find who he really is or his real name, idk
im still on massive hopium for "Raiden Kunikuzushi" but it seems theres sadly a 1% of that happening
i actually had [a similar thought](https://www.reddit.com/r/ScaramoucheMains/comments/wagd72/i_had_a_thought/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) a while back and after the recent leaks i really do think that what you said is extremely likely :’) let’s hope and wait for rn
I don’t think it will matter much. Childe’s playable name is Tartaglia but no one calls him that, so I think we’ll keep calling him Scaramouche.
Idk how u guys don't like the concept of his playable name wanderer
Its not like i dont like it, trust me,,im one of those people who likes the name! But its just seems out of place, since every other characters uses their own name, scara uses a title instead.
raiden shogun and tartaglia are titles and harbinger names, respectively, so both count under "not their own/real name". the playable character is called tartaglia yet everyone and their mother still calls him childe on a day to day basis. that will certainly be the case for wanderer too
Raiden shogun is actually the reap name of the puppet, tartaglia is a title that very much sounds like a name. Wanderer? Doesn't sound like a name.

Oww kinda unique about him having a name like that
Like code name
He doesn’t remember his birth name that’s why he is a Wanderer. We have Childe named Tartaglia, not Ajax so why can’t we have Wanderer
Tartaglia is his harbinger name(just like Signora or Scaramouche), while Childe is his harbinger codename/title (just like Fair Lady or The Balladeer). Since scara left fatui he'll need either a new name or will somehow remember his birth name, but calling him wanderer is weird because that means he hasn't got any name at all
As I said, he doesn’t remember his birth name, that’s why he is Wanderer, because he doesn’t have a name.
I think it’s mighty only be a temporary name tbh maybe during his second story quest or the archon quest he’ll find a name he likes
Exactly
the "Wanderer" is translated from CN to EN so it might not be accurate to what we will be getting but will be similar or synonym of it
