Theories why dottore actually might come back
This means that dottore actually already planned his death and has a back up plan in mind. That beingā his soul (moonttore/datattore) will go to the leylines while his other soul currently in the northern land bank will be released by pantalone to the leylines to meet his other soul. The backup data pantalone released in the leylines was not his other soul since "while his other soul currently in the northern land bank" this was said after.
++ dottore told pantalone in the 6.6 aq that creating a body is the most easiest thing to do
Next is this unusually big ass lizard (that's also not normal since lizards in genshin are not that big) that keeps showing/zooming up in the story. It followed us until the we met dottore and the fact that this lizard was also watching us when we gave the pyro gnosis to mavuika. It was stated in the anomalous egg III that dottore used to experiment on putting human souls to animals so there's likely a chance that this lizard may also be dottore. (blue skin and red eyes).
++ This description from the Deepwood MEMORIES artifact. It's very connected or at least similar to dottore and pantalone's conversation. The organ that governs the memory is the brain and from this we are gathering that pantalone is going to give some of his memories from his own brain to the brain the new dottore is going to have so it will not be lobotomized dottore or whatever but instead, we'll have the og zandik back.
Back to the Pyro gnosis, there's a chance that the gnosis may have been absorbed by dottore's soul? after all nahida said she also didn't know where the gnosis went and we all know the gnosis is very crucial and the last piece to the tsaritsa to overthrow the HP. I saw somewhere that the pyro gnosis can actually be absorb by the human body, it was proven. (I forgot where) so dottore coming back with the pyro gnosis might be a chance too.
++ And there's still a lot of unexplained things about dottore's backstory when he was Zandik. the cutscene was mostly focused on his segments and what happened to the og, there's still a lot of unanswered questions like if he really was the one who killed sohreh, why was he chased out as a child and what made him lose compassion on 8 yrs old. I doubt hoyo will leave it at that because that will actually be so shittyā also considering dottore is absolutely loved by CN fans, I doubt they'll want to make a big mistake again.
++ On CN dialogue, he let out a small giggle when he was getting dragged down in the fireā like he was sure he will come back. (ok william afton)
"We might consider that as one of deaths rare oversights" We WILL because due to irminsul now being burned the HP have lost their control over fate and now death isn't as powerful as it once was, which means things will slip by, things like dottores memories in the leylines.
++ In this AQ quest and dottore's bossfight is heavily centered around nirvana which means rebirth and afterlife was mentioned a lot in AQ.
anyways there are a lot more theories that proves dottore is coming back so don't lose hope dottore nation <3
