Every Monado Art 

Morag doesn't have any Monado arts probably because she’s the one party member in 2 that isn’t part blade. I think you made that point in a previous video

I used Monado speed to get here so quickly

7:43 Now I'm imagining the monado generating hundreds of Narutos and sending them at enemies as disposable fodder like his actual strategy in all of his fights

3:07 You saying ''next month'' matched up perfectly with Dickson's lip syncing.

a part of the Xenoblade the Secret Files: Monado Archives book explicitely states the symbols are Chinese, and (when translated) says "According to Tetsuya Takahashi, these symbols are vestiges of Earthly civilization, and it is possible that researchers catalogued elements of Asian cultures and people."

You know this Malos and Shulk and monados stuff makes me want to have Malos as a hidden superboss for Future Connected.

The animations of Bionis and Mechonis Buster are the finishing moves of the titans in the intro, which is a thing you didn't mention.

The symbol for Monado Speed actually appears in Xenoblade 2 during Shulk’s level 4 Special, Monado Unbound

This video could use an update now

This vid was amazing, explained perfectly and a very nice commentary. I didn't get bored once, keep up the good work

That opening joke is the best thing I've ever seen

List of all relevant arts for quick reference. Shulk: Monado Buster(Inflicts effective damage against mechon and machina. power gained from Zanza) Monado Enchant(Pierces mechon armor and lets attacks deal bonusdamage against mechon. power gained from zanza) Monado Shield(Ethershield almost nullifies talentarts. Power gained from Zanza) Monado Impulse/Speed(Ether enhances physical reflexes. Power gained from Zanza) Monado Armor(Ether enhances durability of physical matter. Power gained from Zanza after unlocking it through research) Monado Eater(The Monado absorbs ether from the targets, severly wounding them and dispelling buffs. Power gained from Zanza after unlocking it through finding lost knowledge about it) Monado Purge(The Monado fires heavy amounts of ether onto the targets, rending their auras and rendering them temporarily immobile. power gained from Zanza after being unlocked by another god) Monado Cyclone(The Monado causes an etherexplosion, inflicting topple. Power gained from zanzas monado regaining its true power unnaturally quickly) Monado Unleashed(Version of Monado buster that is able to kill gods. Power gained by becoming a god) Monado Jump(increases jumpcapabilities. noncanon for the xc multiverse as smashcharacters are implied multiple times to be copies created by master hand) Monado Smash(possibly a modified version of Monado Cyclone. Users attacks deal higher knockback. Noncanon for the xc multiverse because reason above) Zanza: Monado Buster(same as version shulk uses, used in his humanoid form) Monado Shield(renders user invincible,possibly indicating shield and armor were originally the same power but got split in half) Monado Brave(Increases attack and etherattack of allies) Monado Heal(Heals allies. Possibly gained from meyneths monado) Monado Recover(Heals allies by a great amount. Possibly gained from meyneths monado) Monado Fear(Decreases Defense and etherdefense of foes. Possibly gained from meyneths monado) Monado Cross(a crossshaped beam fired by the monado. After optaining meyneths monado, he instead attacks with the weapons themselves instead of a beam) Monado shoot(Monado creates a chain of noneffect projectiles. Possibly gained from meyneths monado) Monado Buster(Inflicts daze. Meyneths monado instead inflicts topple) Monado Eater He also likely has access to enchant, speed and purge. It is never shown tho Meyneth: Monado Buster(inflicts topple) Other monadoarts are not confirmed for her, but it could be that some of zanzas arts are actually hers. Also, it could be that she has unknown extra effects against organic life as shulk has a countereffect against gods and zanza has countereffects against mechon and machina Fiora: Final cross(this is technically a modified version of meyneths monado buster, unleashing strong surges of monado energy that inflict topple.) Malos: Monado Buster(causes blowdown) Monado Eater(Reduces Blade affinity and causes heavy injuries) Monado cyclone(creates a whirlwind of energy, causes Blowdown) Monado Armor(greatly increases durability of physical matter) Monado Jail(causes shackle blade, making them unable to act)

Maybe Monado Brave and Monado Fear are arts for Zanza’s Monado III, which Shulk never uses (Since Zanza upgrades his monado post taking it from Shulk)

16:10 This symbol is actually now used in Xenoblade 3 when you use Shadow Eye with the Monado attachment

Rolling Smash is the closest thing Rex has to Monado Buster. I mean, it slashes the ground causing flames to rise up. It's shown in the Cutscene against Patroka and Mikhail.

This is really nicely edited. Good job

The Sword of Legendariness better be the Monapo in XC DE. It says ポ(po) in it anyways so it would kinda make sense

This video boutts get an update with that Monado Rage

14:10 not to be a stickler about this, but Smash art increases knockback taken, not damage taken!

8:27 it’s actually a clone of Mythra’s Foresight, so it’s a partywide buff.

I really hope that in Xenoblade 3 we get to see Rex using Monado Arts with the Pneuma Monado. I mean, it already has what appears to be an arts ring, so it could easily work like the Ontos Monado where the core crystal and its surrounding structure slide forward to fully reveal the arts ring.

Much like Zanza's Bionis Buster and Mechonis Buster, Mythra does have Lightning Buster for her level 3 special, and well as Siren Buster used by Malos when piloting Aion. While they aren't strictly done with Monados, I still consider them as fundamentally the same thing. I'm also tempted to say the same thing about Pneuma's Infinity Blade even though it has neither "Monado" nor "Buster" in the name.

Melia's staff in Future Connected has a striking resemblance to a Monado. Not only is does it have a similar color scheme, but it has the same blade of light as the Monado. I doubt this means anything major, but I thought it was interesting.

I always thought shield was what all blades can do in xc2 as seen in multiple cutscenes, the shields have a similar design to the monado art one as well

Honestly I think it’s possible that pneuma has access to Monado arts but Rex doesn’t realize they exist. Since the third sword has a ring that monado symbols could be displayed in.

I love xenoblade and I cant wait for the definitive edition! I hope it doesnt get delayed

On Monado Shield in Smash, Competitively in Smash 4 its usage would be more comparable to Monado Armor since its used to live to insane percent in Smash Ultimate though it’s slightly more accurate since it lets you survive a killing blow or combo Monado Cyclone is also a name for a new combo in Smash Ultimate which was similar to the Monado Purge combo, although trickier to execute

Monado... CLOTHES!

I thought the symbols where based off of Chinese? I recall in chuggas video on prison island he said that the symbols had meaning

There is another Monado Art which is little well known. Monado Suicide is an all powerful Art which compels your enemy to kill themselves I have seen it’s use primarily in Smash bros.

shulk can inflict the whole break - topple - daze combo if he has the correct gems, you can also topple lock with just reyn

Nice job dude! All Xeno saga is absolutely amazing, true masterpiece! Long live to Monolith Soft! 🇧🇷

Coming here after Future Redeemed 👀

Poor lad struggling through Xenosaga II, at least the story is still on par with the Monolith Standard.

For the new DE Symbol, since it's the first half of the translation for Equipment, could it technically be implying Equip through that reading?

Monado "Smash" comes from a word 撃墜 which means to strike down, or to knock out in context of Smash Bros.

For the first kanji, its the same kanji used in the Japanese name for the Mechonis, as Mechonis is called "Kishin" (machine god), so it also has meaning in that way (although I guess its also the same meaning).

The story of 2 is great. Gameplay is another story. 3 feel like a true sequle to gears. Everything done in xs2 became good in xs2

I'm just expecting a new video on May 29th xd

Monado Wedge

Sorry if i dont hear good, but i speak spanish, but there's none about the Kanji of Zeke when he use his super duper lightining strike?

When the Monado Shield driver art is used, the Shield symbol still appears as on the Monado, so that would explain that. Not sure about god though.

I’m playing xenosaga episode 1 so I’m joining the ranks 👍

The reason Rex doesn’t use monado arts I’d obviously because Pyra/Mythra don’t have a giant ring in their guard, or he can’t read kanji, one or the other.

So, based on the opening we are not getting a play through of Xenosaga on your other channel.... OK. I’m off to find someone else’s... (Sighs sadly...)

Where to get monado replicas

Monado Unbound is not the same as Shulk’s finisher against Zanza. They look completely different

Should you do an arts showcase of Xenoblade 1 x and 2

Bro I'm so hyped for definitive edition. I texted my mom like "mother, I'm 20 years old and I dont have a credit card. I'm planning on getting a game on the 29 of may". She said yes cuz I'm trapped at my uncles' place for a bit

Every Monado Art plus Smash?

But I’m watching in April 2020 :0

Do you have a link to a guide that can show me how to get all monado arts for definitive edition?

fuck me dude i have been dodging spoilers so hard and didnt expect this video could spoil me the plot twist of xenoblade 1

I find it kind of funny that Nia, despite having no direct link to the trinity processor, has her very own completely unique Monado Art... even though _Zanza_ has a Monado Art that would've been _perfect_ for her.

why aren't you showing vids of the xeno2 dlc with shulk when talking about shulk in the game? its so confusing seeing the morag fight while talking about shulk

Muimui sword of legendaryness? thats a backwards ポ　smh

Cool

They are Kanji purge means destroy

Hows episode 2 going? I know a lot of people hate that game. Personally I think its better than the first game (but only slightly). Episode 3 is the best by far.

I don’t count the XC2 Driver arts as Monado arts because they aren’t

Playing Xenosaga 2? You poor bastard, are you alright?

why you pronounce Malos like that??? It's Mah-loes (like the same pronunciation of toes)

I thought the art symbols were Chinese?

My favorite quote in this video is subudin like narito shippuden so thanks weebs i don’t know why I find that funny

I couldn’t play saga 2 its just.....ugh........good luck💀

Haha funny

The time that I'm writing this comment the video has 69 comments and 420 likes nice
