Rerir's design makes me think more ghoul than anything to take seriously. It did help that the story said he was only at 10% power but it's still a little arbitrary. I mean Surtalogi was propped up as being someone who had to leave the planet because he was so powerful that not even our main character who is a higher god can beat him.
There could be a reason why they made him seemingly the weakest of the Five Sinners though. I have had this theory that the major calamity from this game's backstory, the Cataclysm was set into motion by this guy. He might have been the weakest of the group that he brought together and is also weaker because his motivations are selfish compared to the others.
There's also this thing about him screaming "Tholindis" blow up over twitter and youtube. Tholindis isn't a real name but it looks close enough to Germanic that you might be able to translate it as a female name meaning "durable shield." But miHoYo's also messed up gender suffixes before so it could also be a guy. For example Menogias has a female suffix in Latin -ias but the character is a guy. I have a theory that Rerir was actually screaming about his son who was the point of him getting the Cataclysm started.
Anyway finally done with these videos. This one got long. I think in total it's already 8 hours long between Acts I and II and normally a full set of five acts only goes on for 15 hours. That means Acts III-V will have to be shorter than these two. I guess we'll see.
