Dude the Goatman is so hype. Finally we get something truly horror themed after like two years. I can't wait to see how he plays. I'm also very interested in the Knight.
About hullabaloo thing and sergi, im gonna give you basic context about who is sergi Sergi: Smiley Clown (Not smiley face), abusive margie's husband Smiley face: Drug Hallucination of Margie, she mixes Joker's and Sergi's appearences when she is drugged. Joker: The weeping clown, Margie's suitor This part has more detailed info ! Basically, Joker is the Weeping clown and Sergi is the Smiley clown (not smiley face). Sergi was Margaretha's abusive husband and margie would vent to Joker, this made them turn into really close friends since Joker also hated Sergi bc he's in love with Margie and also Sergi always humiliates him. Also, Joker fell in love with Margie after this. Sergi finds out that Margie is meeting up with Joker to recieve advice from him and decides to plan a "revenge" against him in some way, so sergi puts acid in Joker's make up and when he uses it his face burns really hard. After this, Joker turns crazy and starts to plan the Hullabaloo massacre with a chainsaw (Smiley face's old weapon.) Almost everyone in Hullabaloo dies after this incident. The only known survivors are Mike, Murro, Margie, Violetta and Joker. Mike promises that he will find the killer and make him pay for what they did bc he saw hullabaloo as his family. After this, everyone goes to the oletus manor when they recieve the invitation and they recognize eachother. Joker teams up with Margie and Mike with Murro, also mikes knows the killer has to be either Joker or Margie since he trusts Murro and Violetta wasn't in the incident, so he starts a plan to kill them. Joker kills Violetta for anxiety for scaping before the hunting game even starts and Mike and Murro find out. Once the hunting phase starts, they go to the Hullabaloo circus and Mike plans on planting bombs in one certain part of the map for killing margie and joker together, however, he needs to make them to go to this specific zone. Im not really sure if this is confirmed; but there's some lore experts saying that Mike might have disguised as Sergi to lure Margie to the circus cabin he needed. (This is why in the trailer we see Mike introducing Sergi in a silent and dark circus.) After this, Mike basically gives up on his life to kill them both since he ends up noticing that Hullabaloo was never a healthy family and makes murro the only winner without him even knowing. That's basically all i have to explain for that trailer, so probably they release mike hunter with a Sergi's Disguise to finally finish this Hullabaloo arc! I think it would be really cool if they made something like this with every manor game, but probably that's too much budget idk lol
a few things to note tho! 1. margie was never in love with weepy 2. weepy actually killed violetta in an episode thinking he was sergei (as sergei was ableist against weepy too) 3. mike thought weepy was innocent and only killed him because he thought he was sergei, and he mainly blamed margie (the victim😭) for hullabaloos end and edit if anyone can tell me why violetta is even a hunter that would be great.......ik everything but that! like...if she died before the game, which survivor is appearing as her and ...why...? my theory is that maybe goatman is a way to expand on violettas past with her old circus and maybe we'll see more people from vios past? IDK...
Bro I love when they make characters that aren't "hot" because it seems that only "hot" characters seem to win deduction star 😭 I'm just salty since my lizard man didn't win
Wdym? Quite a bunch of people find Luchino attractive (in both forms), but on average characters like Norton are liked by more normal players, so it unfortunately makes it harder for other hunters.
It's crazy how a Chinese company was able to do better research for charities that actually empower and represent those they claim to more than American ones, like I'm Brazilian and I even I know that so I get befuddled whenever AS gets support.
Honestly can’t wait for all 3. I hope Faro lady and can be someone I can main. Also truthfully I feel like her base skin could be an a or b but jus and opinion. The same for the Knight.
I imagine if Faro Lady will have gambling involved in her mechanic, maybe more rewards for taking risky choices like decoding or vaulting with the hunter close by.
i wonder if she'll be rng based like lucky guy.. that would make her a bit bad honestly cause its not reliable. I feel like she might have some kind of stack system, "by observing her opponent for prolonged periods of time, faro lady begins to read their next moves" and then she just sees hunter through wall or has increased vault speed..?!
@@stalkinghereandthere oooooh that's pretty good, she does have a very "cocky" and superiority air about her, so it would make sense to have a ability based on instigating the hunter.
i know someone commented a little about it but just wanted to clear up that joker/weepy and sergi are different people! joker was obviously a weeping clown at the circus and had been there longer than sergi, but when sergi (a happy clown) joined, he gained a lot more popularity quickly than joker sergi and natalie were in some sort of relationship at the time, but joker also liked her a lot as well joker one night found scars on natalie’s back (which implies that sergi had at least physically abused her) and confronted him about it it is also mentioned how sergi would rip up any letters natalie would try to send to her family after that, jokers face was irreparably burned and had also broken his prosthetic leg the circus told the news that it was an accidental fire but in reality there was an acid bottle taken from mike’s cabinets (implying sergi had burned joker) after this sergi and natalie were supposed to perform together but that’s when disaster struck the circus, everyone was slaughtered and the circus was burned down by the “faceless carnival killer” although Sergei’s body was never found, it’s hinted that he never made it out alive it’s also hinted that joker likely stole his face and uses it as the mask for smiley and basically stole his identity which meaning that smiley is TECHNICALLY the form of sergi but exaggerated, but it’s basically just joker taking his identity for himself i love hullabaloo lore
though it IS a little confusing to what draws the line as real or a hallucination because it’s also confirmed that smiley is margie’s hallucination when she’s on drugs but yeah
For any DBD players, does anyone else think goatman looks very similar to The Unknown killer?? 😭 he also seems to be related to the hullabaloo lore?? ALSO THE KUROMI BQ SKIN ART IS SO GOODDDD!!! so excited to see all the new content and the new game mode especially!
20:09 Sergei is female dancers abusive lover i believe & smiley face is a hallucination from female dancer bc she kind of sees joker like her abusive lover. you can see sergei in weepy's lore trailer & it kind of looks like one of jokers recolors
I imagine the knight is like antiquarian but the knight can parry the hunter's hits or block them but the cost is high like maybe costs their item to lose more durability
Funfact ! Richard might not be an actual Knight, as it doesnt fit the time period of the rest of the idv cast. (Late 1800s- early 1900s) It is more likely that he is a actor, most known for playing a knight. Infact, he might be based on an actor who did alot of theatre in the late 1800s ans was name Richard Wrought. He was known for playing the black prince, but his outfit resembles that of a knigjt. It wouldnt be the first time idv has based someone off a real personcand changed the name (Amelia Dyer -> Emilu Dyer) Also! My friend theorized that Richard possibly having long bottom eyelashes on his left eye (maybe), is a reference to a film called Clockwork orange, specficallt a chr named Alex. This could also relate to Richard's introduction as it hints he might be wearing a mask, and night be a different person underneath Anyway thats my lore yap done. Great video as always !!!!!
@@thomasthetankengine9395fr I thought the same shit, I know everyone was saying dude barely has any skins but he literally just came out and already won, meanwhile character that been here for years collect dust
Bro NetEase is putting out so many new characters right now, Ivy, Florian, Richard, Evelyn and Goatman!!! All i have to say is that i cant wait to see their gameplays!!!
this is actually the first year in idv history we've managed to get 6 skins from the deduction star event, CN players made accounts in global servers to change the vote in composer's favor
Btw the e-sports gang is most likely not getting the showed skins. you can see behind them, in the background their faces faintly and they look different than the skins from the trailer
1:21 1:24 I like how in Luca’s contacts his mom is listed as Mother while his dad is just “Mr Balsa” sjxjfhrbb. Also who did he name procrastination, I wanna see their face now.
Journalist Hermit Patient W yeeeee I’m so excited for the new upcoming content. The Hullabaloo Circus storyline is one of my favorite pieces of lore, so I’m happy to see it getting more focus!
Is okay everyone, they are keeping Hunter Melly a secret because they are cooking the best design for her, trust me, manifest manifest (I like the goatman!)
The new female survivor “Faro Lady” will probably have something to do with gambling. A “faro lady” was an aristocratic woman in the 18th century England who would gamble. Despite it being illegal for women to gamble during that time. They often played the gambling Card game “Faro”. Which is why these women would be referred to as “Faro ladies”
Thank you for the review I’m really excited for the P5 crossover incoming I’ve been waiting forever💗 *quick reminder for those who care about boycotting, Sanrio supports Is*rael
The Goatman reminds me of a circus strong man! My guess is that he's similar to Antonio in the sense he's possessed by the devil. Hence the name "Goatman". Goats are common symbols of the devil. I'm guessing he's a possessed strong man, it'd be cool to see him tower over survivors! ❤
For the new characters, im the most interested for the goatman 100%, he actually is a monster and not just a tall hunter, it would be funny if goatman will be new meta LMAO
overall im kinda bummed, i want characters that are alr teased in the lore :( the cast is expanding too fast for my liking... hng 4:25 THEY CALL ME THE MERC HTZCZH if I cant get my hands on pants Anti i Will Riot!! Their stylized animation has gotten so good and charming... i'd love if we got to see it even more often 🤧 4:55 lmao the crowd. understandable, have a nice day. 5:45 i love Knight's design but I'd love it even more if it was a woman's design. that probably sounds shallow but pretty bois are fairly common in media while this type of androgenous-leaning design is rarely given to women. i know i shouldnt expect much from IDV considering CN censorship but still ;; 7:15 welp time to finally get into persona 13:00 its kinda funny that he reminds me of the teased Norton Hunter who obv they made a pretty boy instead. I am kinda meh? im glad hes not just a pretty human, but he does feel a bit in the Leo/Bane line of hunters which.... aren't as unique and abstractly horrifying. I guess I would love something even less humanoid? but its definitely still a win 🎉 20:10 Sergi is the og smiling clown, Joker is the weeping clown. Sergi is fem dancer's lover who was abusing her, and whose face Smiley Face stole / who fem dancer sees in Weepy at the manor, most likely. 20:30 ... oh. pfft. welp. 21:00 they did say in a qna that the story will not end after AoM just continue with a different cast so uhm. I guess AoM Is over for now?? I thought they meant Norton originally but... welp. But im happy circus is finally getting the lore we've been promised for about 2-3 years now!! I just hope it will be less short I guess.... i want them to focus more on the main lore for anniversaries tbh... but t&i is too established at this point. 23:00 so you're telling me i have to riot....... welp 🔪 (joking but im sad) 25:56 my apples are in shambles sgdhsjsj
Sergei is the original Smiley Face clown. He was in a relationship with Margaretha and abused her emotionally, mentally and physically. Weepy hated him and wanted to save Marg. Sergei foind out abt her affair with Weepy and decided to take revenge, so he byrned Weeping's face with the acid contained inside Mike's acrobatic balls. Weepy and Marg then decided to kill Sergei, weepy took his face off and put it on his own, he now wears it in his hunter form. They burned the ciecus dowwn to hide their crime, and mike knows that they (the only 2 survivors other than himself) are the ones to blame for destroying his home. He is after them for revenge.
