this is why is is best boi. Well theres Claude too, but hes meme boi. And Edelgard is Thirsty gril. God damn It hurts having to choose between those 3!
This is funny because out of the Three House Leaders, Dimitri’s retainer is by far the strongest among them, so he should have no problems with it, but then you remember that Dimitri himself has a 60 percent strength growth and goes “bitch imma do it myself”
There’s also his Crest that makes him unnaturally strong. He easily snaps weapons like twigs and his crits literally destroy the ground like small meteors. Dimitri is the strongest character in the game(physically wise).
@@snyperguy5006 technically Edelgard is, if we go off of base stats, she’s tied for the highest base strength in the game with byleth at 13, while Dimitri’s is only 12. Also if I recall correctly Edelgards crests increase her strength too, during a lecture she comes up to you and asks to change her goals to heavy armour, something about she doesn’t feel the weight and can move around with ease which she hypothesises is due to her crests.
The issue with Claude is that it’s not really considered appropriate for a man to carry an unconscious lady around, and would likely run the risk of getting him accused of something inappropriate, hence why he has Hilda carry Femleth. That isn’t an option for Dimitri, since Dedue would likely get accused even faster, what with him being from Duscur. Edelgard, meanwhile, might be able to lift Manleth up, but because she’s so short, she’d probably just end up falling over, so she has Hubert (who probably has plenty of experience hauling others around, alive and otherwise) do it. Hilda would have the same problem, so it’s faster for Claude to do it himself.
Finally someone talking sense. Carrying Byleth themselves might be a touching gesture but you can't ignore the practical problems of transport and social conduct that this situation presents to the House Leaders. How it was handled makes perfect sense to me.
"Alive or otherwise." Lol, just last night I saw a comic about Hubert dragging a body bag to a happy carnivorous plant that Bernadetta watches, implying it's not the first time, and the plant loves the meal.
Why do I find the sudden cuts between M!Byleth and F!Byleth so hilarious?? It's like they're flickering between genders like they're a broken lightbulb or something! XD
I understand that the implication is that Edelgard and Claude feel it would be “improper” or whatever to carry back the Byleth who isn’t their gender, but I feel like Dimitri has the most appropriate response to the situation. Also, Edelgard could probably bench-press Hubert, so I don’t get why she wouldn’t ask Ferdie or Caspar instead. At least they have a strength growth, lol.
Hubert is her adjutant the same way Hilda is Claude's (won't die in story and can't ne recruited to other houses). It's also the reason Dimitri carries both Byleth, since his adjutant is also male.
@@straypaper I mean, I know why the scene is that way from a scripting perspective (your house leader's second-in-command is the only student guaranteed to not die if you're playing in Classic), even if it doesn't make as much sense from a narrative angle.
Alright, now we just need a comic of the 4 instances of Edelgard, Hubert, Claude and Hilda carrying Byleth back in 4 panels, and the 5th panel at the bottom has Dimitri carrying both Byleth's at the same time.
Edelgard: Has F!Byleth in a bridal carry. Hubert: Drags M!Byleth along while Edelgard yells at him to do it right. Claude: Drapes M!Byleth in a fireman's carry but struggles under the weight. Hilda: Makes Leonie help. Dimitri: One Byleth on each shoulder.
So many Dimitri comments... 😭💙 But let’s be honest here; Dimitri is trying to be gentle with Byleth. the funny part is that Dimitri hates fragile things. 😂 (Not saying Byleth is fragile or anything at all, but seeing Dimitri trying to be gentle with anything just makes me giggle)
exactly. fbyleth is very strong but so tiny that she actually is vulnerable in a situation like this. I suppose Dimitri with that brute strength, tried his best to be gentle so he wont hurt her that sounded...different
I would find hilarious if in some weird universe were the Ashen Wolves were chosen that they would just accidentally forget to pick the professor up and leave them exposed to the elements and unconcious for several hours.
Also love how both Edelgard and Claude are questioning the church and stuff meanwhile Dimitri : _”Yess I have the power of Goddess and anime on my side”_
[Edelgard and Claude]: i mean I would carry you back but...(blush)no no my dirty mind will get the best of me! I have to do the decent thing and let my retainer do this. [Dimitri]: (innocently disregards gender) Sorry, this might be uncomfortable but you'll get sick sleeping out here :) [Sylvain]: (Dancing somewhere in the corner while Dimitri does this)
Edelgard is downright *tiny* compared to male Byleth (which would make carrying him rather hard and awkward, regardless of her strength), while Hubert is one of the tallest characters (and has plenty of experience lugging people around, alive or otherwise). As for Claude, it'd be improper for a man to carry an unconscious woman, and Hilda is both female and capable of carrying female Byleth. But Dimitri's retainer is Dedue, who's an even bigger guy and as a foreigner would probably be looked at as even more suspicious carrying around a small woman like that, so that leaves Dimitri carrying her himself as being probably the simplest course of action.
I love how Dimitri is like "I'll just carry them and run" because carrying someone by yourself, even if you can, is not very good for the person unconscious. I just imagine him slinging Byleth over his shoulders like a sack of potatoes and just sprinting
This is one of the reasons why I love Dimitri the most of all out of all the house leaders. He doesn't hesitate to carry either Byleth on his back unlike Edelgard or Claude, who call for help on one or the other. He's such a gentleman to female Byleth especially.
byleth is as strong as dimitri (or even stronger) but i think for the fbyleth part, its a reference to the s support where he holds fbyleth hands (which is very dang tiny lol) we can all agree that dimitri can easily crush someones skull. this is him trying to be gentle with fbyleth.
i dont want to pin this because the pinned one is gold but...you guys seem to like or are interested in the gender difference dialogues. I think i can compile the ones I already have which is for Sylvain. Do you want?
Dimitri: "Time to show off my Crest-given, literally superhuman strength! Man, woman, it doesn't matter!" Claude and Edelgard: "I'm not sure I'm strong enough to carry Byleth back, and definitely improper to do so for the opposite gender." Also Claude: "An opportunity [to troll Hilda] has arisen!" Also Edelgard: "An opportunity [to let out some of this big gay energy] has arisen!"
The others are all like “ah it’s probably fine let me get someone else to do it” and then dimitris like “time is of the utmost importance, I’ll do it!”
I remember in one of Claude & Raphael's supports, it's mentioned that Claude isn't actually that physical strong which is probably why he says "easier said than done" when thinking about carrying MByleth. Dimitri is overall strong boy
@@somebodyyoudontknow3980 It's a joke. But even then, why not gay? You don't want it to be gay then kudos, but some people would have liked gay options with Claude and Dimitri like there is with Edelgard
@@YikYakTikTak it's really not the fact that it is gay tbh. It's more that I've seen many people say that because Dimitri spends alot of time with the main character and they go through alot, that they should be gay?! Claude I fully understand, but being good friends with someone doesn't make you gay, you don't just suddenly turn gay for one person because you went through alot (I also think this shouldn't be the case for many straight relationships in media too btw - basically it feels cheap if there is no real chemistry, friendship and romantic relationships are very different but have mashed together in alot of media). So really my bigger problem is making a romance out of something when it's not there, it's just I particularly see this with gay shipping. It would feel like pandering if it was in the game, and to me pandering is the most insulting thing to do. Trust me loving someone of the same gender I have no problems with at all, it's more the community as a whole (really just a vocal minorityt though which is the worst thing) wanting everything to be gay and pander to them. The individuals I'm fine with, met many lovely gay couples honestly. I honestly do apologise if it came across really badly. Tbh when I said it I instantly thought that maybe I shouldn't have. Hopefully from what I've said you can see where I'm coming from even if you don't agree at all. Also thanks for the none angry response, it was actually a very calm and respectful response and I apologise if I jumped to conclusions. It's just generally difficult to tell what's a joke and what's not atm.
My favourite part about this scene is that Edelgard 5'2" and M!Byleth is 5'9". Edie, Honey, I don't care that you're proficient in axes, you better believe you should get Hubert to do it...
Edelgard & Claude: Ask for other to carry you when the Professor is from the opposite gender. Dimitri: Will carry you without caring about your gender. Dimitri Best Lord Confirmed
I love how my boy Dimitri does not give any fricks about what gender Byleth is when they collapse. Claude and Edelgard make a bit of a fuss about carry their opposite yet Dimitri is just like "We need to get you home and stat so PIGGY BACK IT IS!" That is a man who takes action.
Still sad Edelgard is the only one to have the gay romance. Claude and Dimitri are giving me that gay energy yet I cannot romance them as Male Byleth. Heck this is one of the VERY RARE instances where the developers even decide to change dialogue and acknowledge the professor's gender and despite that change, it still comes off gay. I mean I feel like people should be more surprised that Hilda was called to help out for Female Byleth when she should be the Professor that is lighter compared to the male. Then you got Dimitri who basically Bridal carries Male Byleth and runs.
@@michaelolegario6399 I feel like this scene has something to do with cultural differences since Asia is more averse to touching (at least in public). Like how hugging is more of a romantic and intimate gesture, a (fe)male carrying somebody from the opposite sex might be inappropriate (for some reason) so they have same-sex characters do it. Or maybe they're trying to emulate mentalities of old? I'm not sure about this, so take this with a grain of salt. Since Dimitri has no female retainer, his "I have no other choice" kinda makes sense now though..
@@insertnamehere6434 I’ve also heard that. I think it’s kind of weird because anyone would do the same if it was even a family member regardless of the gender. I think it should be how they go about it
Dimitri’s and Byleth’s relationship just feels so natural and right. For both M and F Byleth. It’s a shame you can’t S support him as M Byleth. He clearly loves you no matter the gender.
Edelgard: Carrying Female Byleth and making Hubert carry Male Byleth Claude: Carrying Male Byleth and making Hilda carry Female Byleth Dimitri: CARRY BYLETH REGARDLESS OF THE GENDER. Though he felt a bit sorry when he carried Female Byleth.
Edelgard-M: Hmm. Hubert has definitely carried bodies before. I just need to remind him to treat this one with a lot of care. Edelgard-F: What's the best way to cop a feel while carrying her, that wouldn't look obvious if she wakes up or someone sees me? Claude-M: Absolutely struggles under the weight of a fireman's carry, drapes him over his back and drags him anyways, sweet man that he is. Claude-F: Shares the load with Hilda. Makes Hilda carry most of the weight. Dimitri: Throws both Byleths on his shoulders and sprints. Me, a fan of Claude and Edelgard: both these female versions are why I ship Claude/Hilda, and Edelgard/F!Byleth.
All of them assume you’ve fallen asleep out of no where. And cluade thinks you've tripped....this is exactly why the game has you command and not them.
I JUST THINK IT’S RUDE I CAN’T MARRY DIMITRI AS MALE BYLETH WHEN HE LITERALLY ACTS THE SAME AS EITHER . . . . I’m kidding I’m kidding, or am I? I’m just salty about not being able to marry Dimitri but at least I have Linhardt.
I want to marry Claude as a male 😅 I just adore my leader I don't get why El is bi 😅 I mean it's okay but why DO I NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO MARRY ALL HOUSE LEADERS NO MATTER WICH GENDER I PICK 🙄 I feel like the best gay options are Yuri and lindhahard... I do not like the other options they just picked randomly alois??? I mean hes waaaaayy older than byleth xD
Indeed. It isn't like Edelgard or Claude don't care but they are important political figures so being seen carrying their opposite-gendered professor's unconscious body could be misinterpreted in a way damaging to their reputations. In Dimitri's case, he doesn't have much of a choice except to take that risk because he's not going to make Dedue do it and he's not going to leave Byleth there.
I think Claude's dialogue is the only instance of Three Houses specifying Byleth's gender. I may have missed something, but any other time they'd be refered to as "they" or Professor/Teacher/Teach. Obviously, the reason for that is to avoid recording twice as much dialogue for both genders, but it's curious how this specific scene allows that, due to the lines of dialogue being different to begin with (:
the other replies are right!! ^_^ the death knight does acknowledge byleth's gender twice in fort merceus. 1st is pre cutscene (if lindhardt & caspar are unrecruited they appear along with death knight in that scene) he will say " that man (or woman) approaches...(he says something about the sword here and stuff)....and here you are as well mercedes." the 2nd time is during the actual battle. "trample them. all save that man (or woman)." I have a bit of this in another video :) ill link it here if you're interested. another person who acknowledges byleth's gender are sylvain & dorothea.
I played GD then BL then BE, and went male -> female -> male, so I thought Claude and Dimitri were both willing to carry you regardless but Edelgard couldn't be bothered despite being stronger than both of them. I already was kinda not liking her at that point but that actually made me dislike her for a good while. Thank you for opening my eyes
I played male all the way. Same order. I thought it was because she so smaller than the others. She would struggle to drag him along. Hubert is like 6'3
I just finished my playthrough with Dimitri and I’m tempted to just leave it there. Screw the other routes, fem!Byleth and Dimitri are perfect for each other ☺️ also the editing for this video made it even more hilarious 😂
I like how dimitri carries byleth regardless of gender but Claude and edelguard only do it themselves if heir the same gender or get the right hand man (woman for claudes right hand) to carry back when opposite gender. neat detail
