Fire Emblem Character Spotlight: Ishtar 

"Reinhardt developed feelings for her." Yeah, him and everyone else in the entire Friege army.

THE Reinhardt fell in love but was cucked by Arvis 2.0 and thus he decided that MAGIC IS EVERYTHING! Then he was summoned by Kiran and became a meme.

Ishtar met Julius before he was possessed by Lopto, right? If so, maybe she was desperate to find a way to cure him, which is why she tried to keep him alive.

"My boyfriend may be the spawn of Satan but he's sooooo hot~!"

I'll say it outright: Best-looking female character in the series. Also another fascinating character. I am glad that you touched on Ishtar's motivations for fighting in the final battle; I've always considered that to be her most interesting moment, in terms of the questions it leaves unanswered. Is she genuinely fighting to protect Julius, the one she loves more than anything else? Is she fighting out of pure anger that her entire family was killed one after the other? Did she still hope that Julius could be turned back to the way he was if she found a way to cure him, like Eirika to Lyon? Or was she effectively committing suicide-by-cop out of despair knowing that Arvis, Julius, and her family were all gone and there was nothing she could do about it? Her relationship with Julius is particularly unnerving. She is unmistakably strong, one of the strongest people on the continent, and unlike Julia is both aware of it and capable of commanding others with that power. But Julius' relationship with her seems to be extremely abusive, mentally and possibly physically, from demanding that she give up her bodyguard lest he kill him, to talking about dressing up Ishtar in pretty clothes like he would a doll, and she just sits there and takes it. Perhaps she thinks that she has to deal with it to keep Julius under control, perhaps she believes that he can be freed through the power of love, or perhaps she's simply in denial about the relationship, much like many women in that sort of awful situation. She's self-contradicting and confusing as a character, but somehow she feels so much more real than most other FE villains. On another note, I'd really like to see more of Ishtor as well in any potential FE4 remake. We see so little of him, which is a shame as he seems particularly no-nonsense and honourable, to the point where he's openly opposing the Child Hunts, despite not having nearly the same power as his little sister and probably being powerless to help her with her problems.

You know you've been playing too much substitute runs and PME's when you think Sharlow can inherit the Forseti. And yes, I know I said "brother" instead of sister, you can stop telling me now.

I want a genealogy remake so bad

Lewyn next, just to keep the interesting FE4 character train chugging along

I summoned Ishtar in Heroes! I am so happy!

"The sex was just too good to leave." -Ishtar, probably.

Damn. As much as it would be good for her to be recruitable, I hope IS won't ever allow that in a potential remake. It would just kill all the drama related to her.

emperor of flames goddess of thunder prince of darkness really liking the sobriquets

Sees the thumbnail update *SHES IN HEROES BOIS*

Let's be honest: Forseti is the solution to everything in Genealogy of The Holy War.

Ayy my favorite Fe4 character. I'm voting for her in CYL.

So apperently Ishtar is the "Brother of Ishtor" oof

And now she's coming to Heroes!

7:25 Thanks Mangs.

Yas finally, maybe with this spotlight, Ishtar will get into heroes

I love FE4's music and sound design... especially that "AERGH" when your units die. Perfect reset cue.

I'm so glad that Mangs did this review. Isthar is a great character, I say she deserves a vote! #VoteForTheGoddess

11:18 Excuse me? Don't call Hannibal a "shit" unit. Look at that man's glorious beard, respect the beard.

Would love to have Lewyn next

I love the fact you came back to the video and changed the thumbnail to the heroes art lol.

Yes, I like Ishtar. I-Mangs S-Make H-A Samto T-Spotlight A-Next R-Please Jokes aside, what the fuck does she see in Julius?

I never really thought about Ishtar, but this video made me realize how good of a villan she is, hopefully a FE4 remake lets us see more about her personality and motives

ISHTAR!!!!!! YEEEEESSSSS

Well I guess I know who to choose for the CYL event. Thanks Mangs.

YAY GENEALOGY!

Wow. I never thought I’d see the day with a video on Ishtar. This is great.

Thanks for this Mangs, I've never played(or will anytime soon) played Genology or Tharcia but a few characters have stood out since I saw them in Awakening. Her design intrigued me and still stands out, making me hope they'll consider more remakes. It is great to hear about her through one that has experienced the game and battles, I was wondering how high her stats were in comparison to others. Perhaps she'll get a vote from me in the CYL2

Killing Julius is easy in chapter 10 when you have the Forseti God Ced

Time to change the thumbnail

Characters as good as this just adds to my worries of how a Genealogy remake would turn out I know for a fact that most things would be cut out completely and I feel like a lot of the characters would get shafted or become extremely one note, especially characters like Sigurd, Arvis, and Ishtar. Yeah, we'll always have the old version to play, but still, the last thing we need is a great game getting gutted and being made into a shadow of its former self

THICCtar

I'm Irish and you're honestly the 1st person I've seen on RU-vid pronounce Deirdre correctly

If Seliph lost, Ishtar and Julius' kids would be OP as fuck.

I've never played Geneology, but I really want it to be remade because the story is so damn interesting. I hope it's remade soon for the Switch. I'll totally play it.

Please do Tailtiu next! I've ALWAYS wanted to see a Tailtiu spotlight!

Just voted for her in CYL. Coincidence?

6:11 Electric temper... Get it?

Yes! Spectacular! You amaze me Ishtar

I'm actually suprised there are so many rule 34 for Ishtar. :)

Been waiting for this

Good job Mangs. Now I want Ishtar as a Grand Hero Battle in Fire Emblem Heroes.

Mangs every mjollnir hit is secretly A DDOS strike LOL

Ishtar to me is the most memorable enemy in the game, in spite of only having a relative importance. Her situation is rather tragic, she's someone good and compassionate, stuck fighting for the wrong side of history and to the bitter end, even after losing everything.

Ishtar GHB for heroes when?

Incredibly well done Mangs! Ishtar is my favorite female character in the series, tied with Mareeta from Thracia 776. Speaking of which, what are the odds of getting that spotlight? ;) Anyway, thanks for the great video and I look forward to all your future spotlights

Oh shit I forgot about Ishtar Now I know who I'm voting for Choose Your Legends 2

I voted for Ishtar in the 2nd CYL event for FE Heroes and this video just made me feel more proud about the vote. Here's hoping she at least makes Top 100 so IS consider putting her in the game.

Whoa, is that the god of moonbow rein I see??

*MANGS YOU ARE THE GREATEST!!* I simply can’t thank you enough! I also got the notification too when you hearted my comment saying you should do an Ishtar Character Spotlight😊 Ishtar⚡️⚡️ is to me like Louise🏹🏹 is to you Mangs😊😊 I wanted a Spotlight if her because I felt she was really interesting as a character and one of the characters who leaves when they are defeated and one of the last ones you fight. In the story I felt she wasn’t really evil and upon capturing Freege you find out that she helped the children who were meant to go to Barhara get away to a safe place, Julius was using her just for her Major Holy Blood and Mjiolnir Tome, it doesn’t help that Hilda even encouraged they be lovers together all because she’s of house Velthomer, I wish you could recruit her or at least save her from Julius since she’s the only one with the Major Tordo Blood. And geez where do I begin when it comes to going against her, to me I feel like she’s a “Camus Archetype” she’s a really tough Diamond and she doesn’t fuck around and to add to the tension, those damn Pegasus Knights with Leg Rings and various skills you need to worry about are also fucking pain. The Awareness/Nihil Skill might be your best friend when going against her as well as the Peg. Knights. BTW Mangs you should do “Camus or Est Archetypes” just throwing out ideas. I’ll give your girl Louise my vote! Arigato~Gozaimasu☺️☺️☺️☺️💜💜⚡️⚡️

You know, a video on Sedgar or Wolf would be quite appropriate considering you LP. Also Wolf is a really fucking good character and is rather underated in that aspect.

Ah yes,Ishtar,also known as the annoying chick with the Mjolnr (You don't know how many times I had to reload a save state) Real talk,I really hope they go more on Ishtar's backstory or her relationship with Julius if they remake Genealogy.

Ishtar in Heroes when?

Come on guys! We need to vote Ishtar into heroes ASAP

I VOTED FOR HER IN THE CHOOSE YOUR LEGEND IN FEH XD

I can't wait until ishtar is added to heroes so she can gain the recognition she rightfully deserves

I was planning to vote for her in CYL

When a character gets added into Heroes and you’ve already done their spotlight, you go back to the video and change the thumbnail?

the thunder waifu goddess herself

Can we get Ishtar in Heroes pls? ;)

You love Ishtar so much now that you updated the video thumbnail to her new Heroes artwork.

Omg that pic of isther mangs you have to tell me where got it😍.

I didn't realize how interesting FE 4 was until I looked at your Arvis spotlight. Now I'm looking forward to more FE 4 spotlights. I'm still waiting for Nyna and Michalis though.

It would have been really helpful if we got to see Julius before he was possessed, as to show Ishtar why she loved him to begin with.

I really need to finish Geneology. I've tried playing it 3 times, but I've always ended up losing the save data in some way or form. I love what I've experienced so far, especially the narrative. I just wish that I didn't have half the story spoiled for me. Oh well. I guess the Sigurd barbecue memes were worth it.

11:17 You just triggered Ghast.

Thanks for covering one of my favorite FE characters (though she may be my flat favorite). Good stuff!

I like how you changed the chapter theme with every time you encounter Ishtar

7:23 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Please! Seliph next!

She should be a GHB in heroes.

Oliver spotlight when? Also, I feel like I should mention this was a really good spotlight. All of them are good, but this one seems particularly good.

I could die happy right now

How do you like a video more than once?

6:58 "Many children would have been speared as a result" . By whom, Travant?

Ishtar is great. Heroes when?

Do Tailtiu!

This video helped inspire me to go for getting Ishtar in FEH. She's amazing in FEH! ^_^

5/5 on design. We all know the REAL reason he gave that rating ;)

No one noticed this but you said sharlow instead of coipre as a forsetti user

Still waiting on a Matthew spotlight

She is so intresting when i saw her in awakening o wish i could play Genology of the holy war... I just reminded myself that i should vote for her in the Choose your legends round 2 her with Mjolnir as a legendary weapon could be terrifying lol

7:30 ISHTAR THICC

5:10 Indeed, those are rather complex and warrant further study.

(0:45) ROLL CALL.

That starting Mjolnir reminds me so much of gen 1 thundershock

0:48 brother lul

You really should do a FE4 LP after all the PMEs

I would love for you to do Libra, from Awakening

Great video Mangs, I enjoyed this. Could you do Lex next? We need more FE4 character spotlights.

Please do Julius next

Mangs Now You Need To Do Spotlight About Marik Ishtar

"Reinhardt served me ever since I was a child"

Dat new thumbnail tho

That's some weird footage you showed at the start How'd you rig the game so ares didn't crit?

I love your spotlights. Pls do azura I have been waiting for a year

We need an FE Echoes : FE4/5 remake

She was such a pain to deal with in the final chapter of Genealogy. 10:40 I used Seliph with a brave sword lol 11:17 I accidentally did that with Dermott. Bad thing is even despite my accident had Ishtar not used adept she might have gotten killed since she attacked him at close range.
