Jean's charged attack
I might be overanalyzing things, but hear me out... Jean's charged attack... It looks like:
"Liberty leading the People". Which thematically would make a lot of sense and I think it echoes quite well her constellations "People's Aegis" and "Fair Protector of Mondstadt"! That and also the entire Gunnhildr backtory. They've been liberty leading the people for generations.
Also the boy on the right of the painting is quite reminiscent of Venti/Nameless Bard...
That or it's just that Jean is Anemo so she yeets things up in the air, it's a possibility too :v
Bonus:
*Freedom intensifies*

Me creating an OC: Wouldn't it be messed up if they were mind-controlled for years with no memory of life before the mind control started. Wouldn't it be messed up if they weren't sure who they are now after they broke the spell. Wouldn't it be so interesting to watch them struggle with figuring out how to live now that they make their own decisions.
Me creating another OC: Wouldn't it be messed up if they were mind-controlled their entire life. Wouldn't it be messed up if they genuinely didn't know which character traits are theirs and which were installed by mind control. Wouldn't it be so interesting to watch them slowly regain control and break away from the spell and rebuild their personality.
Me creating another another OC: Wouldn't it-
Reasonable part of my mind: No.
Me: I haven't said anything!
Reasonable part of my mind: I know what you're gonna do. Don't. We have enough characters who went through mind control.
Me:
Reasonable part of my mind: Do. Not.
Me:
Reasonable part of my mind: Don't you dare.
Me: Okay but like A LITTLE BIT of mind control-

I've wanted to write a dissertation on the localization differences in Sawashiro's Chapter 13 scenes FOREVER you have NO idea, thank you so much for pointing that out.
I did experience the full game back when it was only out in Japanese so I've certainly got Thoughts on both in comparison to the original as well. Although it's not exactly what you were talking about, I do personally think the playfulness is 100% purposeful and the more accurate take in this case! Not just in a literal sense, but in terms of authorial intent.
Chapters 1, 2, and 13 specifically are full of homages to and subversions of his character as seen in RGGO. Playfulness, unpredictability, and an off-putting sense of humor are central to RGGO!Sawashiro. He also happens to be particularly fond of fake-outs like that.
Obviously a lot has changed between games, but there's a lot of fascinating interplay as well, even with 7!Sawashiro's much more subdued presentation. Yokoyama has said he was going for a story that doesn't require RGGO's context to understand or enjoy, but a story that's nonetheless made more interesting by taking RGGO's context into account. The effects of that approach are of course going to be apparent in RGGO's main antagonist.
So I don't think it's far-fetched at all to say there's a sense of humor there we just don't get to see much of, being Ichi and being in the situations we're in when we encounter him. I think that kind of works for him as a character whose idiosyncrasies are conveyed equally by what we see and what we don't see.
... I guess I kind of ended up writing a dissertation anyway lol sorry
this is like getting a letter from the president thank you so much for your dissertation and your work in general im actually framing this on my brain walls
