Chapter 4 Completely Changed My Mind On This Character | Limbus Company 

Dongrang truly is a tragic character, he downloaded League of Legends, played once, and could never escape.

The potential has always been inside of him. All he needed to do was believe. Coming from a place of self-confidence issues, it's something that we desperately needed but didn't know what it was. We criticize ourselves, cut our own wings, believe our wings to be broken or missing compared to the million "What-ifs" versions of ourselves out there. What if we had made a different decision, what if we said this or that. In the end, what mattered was that we are still alive and trying our best everyday. And just like that, "Fly, perfect wings. Show them who I can be. For the one last time, if you will." Even if we could only fly once, at least we did try to fly. And if we did it once, we can certainly try to do it again and again until we regain our wings as long as we strive. It's a beautiful chapter, one I didn't expect to be so much more relatable than what happened in Ruina. But at this point, maybe that's just the PM-specialty, making you simp for evil men, women, and gender ambiguous people while snorting conference-table length of meth before drinking ten gallons of industrial-grade depressants and crying your heart out

Mf really accept the fact that he's evil and undistorted himself THEN manifest an EGO

“Draw me a sheep later” is a reference to the Little Prince-something Demian the character is also a reference to. In the Little Prince, the request is for the reader/narrator to stop obsessing over the exact nature of an object, and instead, look towards potential-towards possibilities. In the Little Prince, the Little Prince asks the narrator to draw him a picture of a sheep. Narrator obliges, but his meager skills in drawing could never produce a drawing of a sheep that the Little Prince was satisfied with. At his wit’s ends, the narrator draws the Little Prince a box, and claims that his sheep is inside it. The Little Prince is overjoyed, because the narrator finally drew him exactly what he wanted to see.

Carmen wanted to dongrag to to distort only for him to say FUCK IT WE BALL and manifest ego instead what a legend

Criteria to manifest E.G.O - Really strong mental fortitude - an emotional stimuli that breaks all will and pushed back into a corner - Reject Carmen, Embrace Ayin

In the ending song you can see that when the colours brighten Yi Sang looks up from the mirror to the rest of the bus crew (in particular Hong Lu whose leaning over him), in a lovely bit of symbolism for how he’s starting to fill the hole left behind with new companions rather than the mirror Also I think throughout the entire dungeon you can see a steady shift in Dongbaek’s words towards Dongrang from light-hearted ribbing to genuinely mean spirited attacks. The “sound of a crack” Yi Sang ignored came right after a round of her pulling his work apart and I think the “crack” was a crack in their friendship, and in Dongrang’s confidence. Maybe, if she hadn’t belittled his work to the point that he incinerated it, if he had been allowed to think that maybe his work could still change the world if he stayed with his friends, he wouldn’t have sold then out. Maybe. Idk it seems like there was a growing divide between people who wanted to stay true to the Leagues rules that the things they made were just for the league (Dongbaek, Sang-heo) and those who wanted either money to survive or to be able to actually do something bigger with the things they made (Dongrang, Gap-ryong), but it feels like Dongbaek had a big part in worsening that divide to breaking point

As a Yi sang simp(not the character the real-life one), chapter 3-3 was quite interesting because more than half of its scripts were about Yi-Sang's poetries and novels. And I think they did a really great job making story easy to understand without having to read his works. + Mili have nailed it once again, they always make perfect music for the scene

1:15:17 There's something i want to point out in the outro art, it has become a tradition that Vergilius will reward the Sinners with food LMAO. - In Canto I, they didn't get the Golden Bough so there weren't food. - In Canto II, Royda used the chips she stole to treat everyone. - In Canto III, Vergilius treated the Sinners with kebab - In Canto IV, Vergilius let them choose food from the menu for dinner. This is such a wholesome mentally unstable family.

Demian's sheep remark is directed at fan artists. He wants them to draw Sinclair in a sexy sheep costume or he'll sabotage everyone's gacha rolls.

6:53 "yi sang, this is your mirror self, stop taking your meds. Trust Me."

Yi sang turned from a poetry weirdo into a gigachad, and that ‘s how amazing chapter 4’s story is.

I know that lots of people have already made the joke about how Carmen has taken another L, but I think this particular L is poignant because it not only denies her from causing a distortion, it also disproves her original theory. Dongrang didn't manifest his EGO by rejecting how miserable life in the City is, but rather by embracing it and resolving to continue perpetuating the misery for his own gains. He has proven to Carmen that her "plan" to cure the City was never going to work because people like him exist, therefore completely invalidating the point of her entire character arc. I also like the detail of how Dongrang's EGO is that of a farmer, the kind of people the real life Yi Sang disliked (because he saw their lifestyle as a symbol of Korea's stagnancy) until he realised that he's a lot more similar to them than he'd like to be.

I was gonna upload two separate videos then I decided "eh, why not an hour long video" so here we are. And yes, rendering this video took years off my pc's lifespan.

I think the goons from T Corp either got their passive bugged, or somehow mistranslated, because I never got to see them heal at all when I was beating their asses. For Dongrang, he is a curious case, for on one hand he is a dick and a backstabber. On the other hand, he fell onto that pit of despair after systematically being forced to give up on his dreams, realize that you can't help people if you don't expand your ideas to the world, and also being harrassed by the time gestapo. That one in particular must be pretty scary, because they imply that if they want, they can just wind back to whichever part of your timeline you were at your most vulnerable, and then take you into custody or straight up murder you if you don't comply. At the time that happened he must have been a teenager at most, and that, alongside the promise of being able to realize his dreams if he cut ties with his past might have been too much for him to promptly decline, as it was both a life-threatening notice, and an opportunity if he decided to keep on living. That being said, the man clearly wasn't satisfied with himself, having backstabbed the only people that he cared about, rising to power and doing an aproximation of his dream by basically feed guro porn to an abnormality instead of helping people with his own hands. So he snaps and falls back to the old grindset of "if I destroy everything again, maybe I can find another chance to find true happiness this time around". I hate it, but also can't deny that me and many others could easily fall in the same result if had to live through what he had. It's also important to notice that Yi Sang learned first hand what Dongrang had done, how he directly destroyed the only thing that gave him a safe space and a reason to feel happiness, yet his reaction after hearing his story is to apologize to him, for not realizing that he had be suffering as much as the others and not doing something about it. That is some mental maturity right there

Break the cage... and fly free. I hope we can hug Yi Sang eventually. The man deserves one, at least.

I felt rather sorry for Dongrang and Dongbaek but that’s just how some people’s lives go in the city. At least they can rest in relative peace now. I wonder how Dongrang would’ve turned out if he joined when Steph was still heading the corp, probably would’ve been a lot less cynical about things. Also I feel like Dante knowing about singularities might be a massive double edged sword later

PM just destroyed it with this chapter , every character got to do or say something and yi sang is actually interesting cause of it

I like how Netzach in Library of Ruina once said that "Those who speak aloud that they want to die are brazenly lying" and that "In reality they want to live more than anybody else and that's why they express their desire in this twisted form" And Yi Sang at the end of chapter 4 says almost the same thing but instead as the reason why he made the mirror: "I made the mirror because I wished to keep on living and flapping and fluttering" It might be too stretched, but for me personally these two lines and meaning behind them seems very similar

Carmen can’t stop taking Ls.(She has taken two so far this series, well technically 14 since each of our sinners has their own egos)

Can't wait for Donqi's chapter just to hear Tsunul say "Yeah, I like Don now"

I've been a Yi Sang simp since I started playing Limbus Company, and watching his character development made me cry for how proud I am of him :") This Canto is also the first time I shed waterfall of tears when we fought Dongrang, because let's be honest... I really feel sympathy for Yi Sang and Dongrang, two friends who were torn apart because one feigned sloth in its original form (apathy) thanks to fear of getting hurt, and the other sunk himself in gluttony since he wanted more validation and fame despite it is all but nothing. Yi Sang however, managed to overcome such fear and eventually fly with the wings that have been there all along. Also interesting fact: Yi Sang's wings at the climax cutscene is filled with memories of Guinhoe and becoming full, while Dongrang's wings are broken and blank. At the end of all those storms, we can finally see Yi Sang smile again. That's enough to make a grown woman like me cry. Words cannot describe how amazing this Canto is for me, all those waitings for the past weeks really paid off. Aside from me growing to like Yi Sang even more, my respect for Hong Lu also becomes more apparent. The fact that he is one of those who noticed Yi Sang's letters as his way for calling for help made me realize that Hong Lu is also something more than just an innocently insensitive person, there's so much more beneath the surface. Maybe this is the message that Canto IV tried to convey to us: there's so much more of life than what naked eyes could see. Bravo Project Moon, and thanks for always being entertaining Tsunul!

Dante's clock face is based off the IRL Doomsday Clock, what with its lack of numbers, starting positions, and of course the two dots. And as you could probably guess, the Doomsday Clock counts down to Humanity destroying itself, which combined with the last scene in the trailer of the citys population dropping faster than peoples bank accounts when Faust who Grips was announced, Dante's clock moving one tick closer to midnight is not a good sign.

Carmen: Your path ends here, how about you fully distort now? Dongrang: No, I dont think i will. *fully manifest EGO* Carmen: Jokes on you, that was my plan all along. somewhat later... Carmen: *F*

Welcome to the Yi Sang Fan club Tsunul, I have seen the ideal light as well

1:18:33 I'm sure this is a reference to "Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry as Little Prince also asked Aviator to draw him a sheep. It also fits with the stars/space theme and the big scarf Demian has. When I read this for the first time, I was exited cus it's my fav novel both as a school reading and general. Literally a rare occurance of being grateful that I needed to read that for Polish lessons.

Demian's "Draw me a sheep" line is apparently a reference to "The Little Prince"-the book, not the mushroom Abnormality from LobCorp, though there could be a connection eventually. Because it was written in French by a French author some people think it might mean Demian is going to ratchet up in importance during Meursault's chapter.

Anyone remembers the Joke "everytime Kaiba smiles a puppy dies" for yi sang cause "everytime time Yi sang smiles Don gets more Gremlin energy"

I love how so many people (including me of course) have the exact same "Your boyfriend is inside" reaction to Demian appearing at the end.

I probably need a replay to understand it all but goddamn is it refreshing to see a story handle like...depression in a serious but uplifting way and represent it well, as a person who has also had a lifelong struggle with realizing I could fly the whole time. Like, even the fact of Yi Sang being the, "yeah he's just kinda there in the background saying odd shit lmao" character had a genuine purpose for the sake of his chapter. I like the boy, and I'll fight for the sake of that smile, on god 🔪

One thing I will say that I totally missed the first time i played through this chapter. In the conversation with Dangrang before he distorts, he says something really interesting. He says "I guess it wasn't just my work that burned away in the incinerator". Does that mean that when something is burned in the concept incinerator it also destroys any emotions or feelings one has that would lead them to inventing it again? If so that makes Dongrang much more of a tragic story. Not saying I like him, but it still makes his story alot more tragic and makes the concept incinerator even more terrifying. Since it can change your personality in a sense if it is based on what is being incinerated.

First instance of someone actually return from being distorted AND reverting it into EGO instead. Carmen cant distort you without your consent and I find that funny that Dongrang was the one to do it. EDIT: Damn is Gregor the only one who's gonna have a depressing ending to their chapter? Even Yi Sang got a happier ending than him shees.

And Dongrang is just embodiment of: "this, too, is what depression looks like. Under smile, promising career and cheerful words". Its a cry for help in plain view.

translating the second version of Yeonsim, it means 連 - to connect, lead 心 - Hearts, minds, spirits

Dongrang making a way from typical whatever villain to person who distorts and then manifest EGO chad. Its like going to hell and way back.

Im stealing from someone else's comment but i like how Dongbaek was desperate to destroy future to restore joy from past - and Dongrang wanted so desperately to cut everything that weights his mind from past to built future denying past pains. Yi Sang's victory was in acknowledgement and accepting burden of both. Also im straight from Mili's concert! They're so wholesome!

I understand Dongrang, but the fact that the guy had a mental breakdown over a cow is still hilarious to me.

soooo about Dante's clock moving, people already have a bunch of theories as to what's going on with it, the most popular theory rn is Dante being a Doomsday clock. first of all just to make sure we are all on the same page, the Doomsday clock(the real life one) is a symbolic timepiece being handled by a bunch of scientists where they adjust its arms depending on current world events, the worse things are the closer it is to midnight, with midnight symbolizing doomsday, so the clock doesn't actually do anything it's just a cool way of telling us how bad things are in the world rn and how close we are to blowing ourselves up. if Dante really is meant to be a living Doomsday clock then whenever his hand reaches midnight we will be in for one hell of a wild ride, I'd also like to also point out it's possible Dante might be the direct cause of that doomsday, or he might have nothing to do with it other than being a warning of how close it is just like the real life clock. to close this off i want to say the only real evidence we have of all this is that his head looks like the real life Doomsday clock(only the last few hours are marked with gaint dots and the rest of it is empty) and we know PM is planning to make a city builder as their fourth game so it might be set in the aftermath of whatever doomsday event Dante is ticking towards.

I think Damien might be my favorite character. He just pops in to say some cryptic ass bullshit that nobody gets and bounces before anybody can respond.

Just say No Remember, Carmen cannot legally Distort you without your consent

It was such a good chapter. Really hit me hard then it should. Im happy you vibing with your boy Yi Sang now though.❤ this chatper really went hard then it did for the other chapters. Not saying they werent great, they were in its own way. But chapter 4 just came from a left field and hit hard.

Dante saying "Screw you" is the highlight of the ending. My clock is fed up with all of these shits.

I knew it would be painful to watch since my take on Dongrang is so much different from most people. Never thought it's going to hurt me so much that I skipped most of Tsunul takes on Dongrang.

Carmen really should have known better before trying to distort someone literally called “one who denies everything” and expect not to be denied herself. On the other hand Its quite the revelation that you don’t need to be a good person in order to get EGO Distorted Dongrang: Cant believe I betrayed all my friends for hollow achievements and trophies that mean nothing EGO Dongrang: Actually all of you were holding ME back! Screw you Cow! Screw you even more Yi Sang!

I never thought I’d like dongrang, but I came to like his character, man’s got severe imposter syndrome which I understand all too well

About the sheep drawing, Demian is also referenced as a Little prince of the 'Little prince' in this game. His flying scarf resembles it.

Dante is going all around the City to collect confidential informations on each corp. singularity to end the world as it is. More seriously though : You finally saw the light. Welcome to the Yi Sang simps club!

Carmen took another L! Gotta give credit to Dongrang for telling her "Fuck that!"

Dongrang's character had more value to me than Yi Sang. Thats just the difference between an active character versus a mostly passive one. Dongrang's ego is also great for being a farmer. Its a shame you were already deadset on hating dongrang, (as were most people going into part 3) since I think he's a great character with some redeeming traits. Dongrang was the IDEAL antagonists to Yi Sang.

First, im still stuck on beating the hell out of sunshower since everyones underleveled. glad the opinion of yi sang has shafted

the clock hand moving is not gonna be memed, it's gonna be theorized about to hell and back because the implications that we're on a timer that seems to only move when a sinner face and overcomes their sin truly are rather serious

I swear if everychapter is of this quality, then my favourite sinner is gonna change ever chapter

REALLY love how Project Moon did a beautiful homage and criticism of Korea's modern literature artists, many who had tragic lives.

Honestly surprised you didn't pop Representation Emitter or Fluid Sack more often for the sanity bumps, would have solved a lot of the tails coin tosses. Edit: And then fight two it's Fluid Sack spam, I stand corrected lol.

It's interesting to see that people can distort and then manifest an e.g.o afterwards I guess that's means it's possible for distorted characters to save themselves that's cool.

Dongrang did absolutely nothing wrong. Well, there's Samjo but that's about it I swear

HOLY SHIT I JUST GOT A METAPHOR THAT (probably) NO ONE`S GONNA CARE ABOUT BUT IT`S SO COOL Ok, it`s probably a coincidence, but this is Project Moon we`re talking about so everything is possible. You see how the smoke/smog covers the sky in the background, casting a shadow over the city? Remeber how Yi Sang was responsible for making the factories, producing the smoke (being an architect)? Dongrang said that he "always yearned to escape the shadows of the League" And when he manifests EGO, the sky in the bacground lights up *in opposition to the shadow casted by the clouds of smoke* HOLY SYMBOLISM, BATMAN!

Dantes hands move everytime a chapter finishes, look at where it started and where it is now

When he checked Wishing Cairn but didn’t check corrosion it made me oof a bit because the corrosion is an AoE Regardless I just read through everything and like understanding my situation and skills as well as I can so it’s kinda funny

It's official, Tsunul became a new member of the Yi Sang Simps Fanclub.

7:18 Sang-Yi said everything will be back to normal, but I wonder if it would have just killed Yi-Sang so that he couldn't work on the mirror anymore (and N corp can't destroy Sang-Yi). Both choices then would have resulted in Sang-Yi's survival.

I cannot stop crashing on the last turn of the final fight, unfortunately, but this has been a great chapter nonetheless. Also, we got a few gems like Limbis along the way :)

Can't wait for the next chapter, the picture of Ishmael in rage really intrigue my curiosity.

It's cool to see Yi sang happy and looking on the mirror, he said clearly in the beggining that the deslikes mirrors and smoke, now I want to see how he's gonna be on Ishmael chapter. Also, K corp. needs a new executive director, Alfonso probably won't last much now.

Yi Sang spitting bars in the credits

When I first saw Distorted Dongrang, the ears looked like eyes and the crease in the hat below it like a mouth, so his head looked like some kind of goofy lion muppet. I can't unsee it, so now you get to see it too.

1:01:26 we see how Yi sang's EGO changed the environment around him. It seems that the personal EGO have become stronger

This chapter of yi sang summary - Depression = defeated - wings = regained

Fly broken wings

Last time I said Sinclair was my favorite after his chapter and getting his 3 star, however history repeats itself and now yi sangs my favorite

If we ever get a Dante chapter, I hope the thing is a choose-your-own-adventure style deal where the choices you make determines how strong or weak the end chapter boss is while we get backstory on who Dante used to be. Something that emphasizes that it's Dante's turn to protect the sinners

“oh sang yi my days just been so bad” “you can leave” “oh shit fr?”

The egos with the insane amounts of damage were battle pass's Yi Sang Sunshower and Mersault's Capote. They are retooling them in the next update to make them way less op.

I feel like The first 3 sinners got cucked during their chapters with Yi sang’s being so good

Finally the prediction came true. He truely is medival Slim Shady.

Damian becoming a very interesting and dangerous sounding character with his speech. if he wasen't alredy. i mean the only thing i could rilly get from his ramblings (though i will say that they are all heavy assumptions) where that 1. hes a multiversal entity. and 2. if his claims about you stealing from him jusing the mirror are to be believed..he owns the multiverse. witch leads me to making 2 heavy assumptions. 1. hes the president of the entire city, and all citys beyond witch i honestly whould not doubt. or 2. witch ik is the biggest assumption...the entire mutliverse is his E.G.O or some kind of creation of his. Agian i will be the first to admit that these are very heavy assumptions. and that we are still pretty early in the Whole storyline to make em. But idk. Damian is rilly giving me those vibes now of ''Multiversal enttity you rilly should not mess with''

I wonder what dante is thinking about at the ending of this chapter he seems a bit troubled about something (also outis looking unhinged and shady as per usual and it seems faust is talking to vergilious about something important)

Goes through the entire chapter and probably still thinks Sen is insane for liking Yi Sang

Tsunul try to play games at a reasonable time challenge (IMPOSSIBLE) Honestly, this is my favorite Canto, somehow beating Canto III I vibe with Yi Sang so much The Little Prince reference for Demian is cheeky ngl and Dante's clock turning was actually kinda scary, because it really resembles the Doomsday Clock

Dongrang did nothing wrong

Project moons power system is very interesting I like that people can get stronger in so many ways they can try and get stronger they can use advanced technology to make powerful weapons but I think it's really cool character development as a part of the power system I think the project moon might have one of my favorite Power systems if not my number one favorite.

The wings cutscene always makes me cry whenever i see it

reminder that there's a button in the top right that shows you where everyone's attacks are aiming.

8:25 9:26 56:00 for Yi Sang simps

Wishing Cairn was actually Yi Sang throwing rocks then, hear me out, throwing knives AT THE ROCKS.

A friend of mine once said that project moon is a treasure trove of philosophy, and I have to agree with her on that one. Also does anyone have a theory or idea what demian is foreshadowing?

The only true saddest thing in this video was this dude sanity management. Smh.

I know people like to joke and say Carmen has been taking Ls, but tbh she hasn't taken any. Based on her dialogue at the end of Ruina, whether someone distorts or develops EGO is a win for her in either situation. Her goal is to have people look at their true selves and love themselves for who they are, EGO is basically the epitome of this, as its the concept of self-actualization. And since distortion is the other side of the same coin as EGO, you could argue that either outcome is good, at least from her perspective. I imagine the reason she's trying to push people to Distortion is that its probably easier when they're in emotionally volatile states than pushing them towards EGO, and in doing so may grant that person the impetus to gain EGO that they otherwise wouldn't have had by going against her words. EGO and Distortion as concepts are honestly pretty interesting, as neither are permanent states, and its demonstrated someone can go from one side to the other in this very chapter with Dongrang, so the reverse is probably true as well. Hell, Gebura lost the ability to naturally manifest her EGO in Ruina, having to get around it via a loophole, and that probably has something to do with how she doesn't consider herself the same person as she was in her first and second lives. I'm honestly curious to learn more details about EGO and Distortion, and to see how the Sinners EGO differ, since I find it hard to believe all 12 of these people manifested their EGOs naturally before getting picked up by the company.

Here's to hoping that Fly, my wings cutscene will be his uptie IV base E.G.O

57:34 LIMBISS COMPANY

Im pretty sure rhe "draw me a sheep" is a reference to "Le Petit Prince"

Dongbaek and Dongrang are 2 sides of a coin, while Yi Sang is in the middle. Face of the fear of the past, and Embrace the future, whatever hardship it will bring.

PM always delivers

Demian talk about sheep: is reference of Little Prince. Written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. NO conection with Damien(the literature)

Funnily how Golden Time actually works is at turn end, between a certain hp threshold, which is why uh, they aren't coming back up, mostly

Oh my god. Your reaction to the flowering tree event and the way that was edited had me in stitches. (Also mood, because that happened to me too.)

The chapter 4 dungeon sure was an experience for me for several reasons. 1. I don't use Yi-Sang in my main team and only had 2 identities for him, Seven and Blade respectively, so they were underleveled and incompatible with my main team, forcing me to slow down to build another team. 2. My friend who beat the chapter before me, conveniently forgot to mention the E.G.O gift that buffs Yi-Sang to lvl 35 and max uptie which left some of my other team members underleveled(26-28), so that was a lot of tickets wasted. 3. In the 1st fight with Dongrang I accidentally started the battle with only 5 sinners, I still won though. The second fight I also took on with 5 sinners, because I found that having less sinners to manage made sanity easier to gain. The IDs I used for the entire dungeon were Seven association Yi-Sang(He's actually stronger than expected especially with his passive), Seven Association Ryoshu(Has high rolls that make clashes easier despite the lack of coins), Seven Association Outis(Good Synergy, Good overall), L Corp Remnant Faust(Actually Based, provides extra E.G.O Resources and with the right setup is capable of rolling higher than N-Corp Sinclair) and Zwei Sinclair(Served as local sandbag for Dongrang, he will be missed).

This was truly ideal

I stopped playing LCB because I don't have a pc and my phone sucks dick so I really appreciate someone posting the game content for people like me who can't play the game. Keep it up tsunul I'll be waiting for chapter 5 1:01:20 Also the cutscene of Yi sang stabbing dongrang was so good

my honest reaction: 1:19:19
