FREMONT IS WHAT HO'OLHEYAK SHOULD BE 

Best Fremont moment for me is when he went: "I literally left Leithanien for a single day and what in the ever loving fuck happened here?!" - (Witch King boutta return in the background) I love this dude

Reading Lessings files and voice lines and hearing how Fremont acts behind closed doors and literally just being a sarcasm charged Dr. Doofenshmirtz is weirdly wholesome when tied together with the event's storyline.

I did enjoy federico just going in guns blazing half the time. While everyone is wondering wtf is going on, he's just thinking about getting his distant relative back to jail and solving the case of a girl that got sent to the shadow realm

At the very least....at tHEVERYLEASTSHEISN'TASBLANDTEXA-

I shall proceed to go play hopscotch on the freeway.

And this video summarized why I no longer consider Fremont a comedy option when speculating about who could be IS5's Welfare Unit...

Well yes, there's a reason why he is called the 'Lich King' and not 'Lich Fraud'

Sad things is, I doubt we will get the Litch King as a character... His daughter though

If you wanna talk about characters that give a more blunt reprieve from the other dialogue, Id definitely mention federico. Love his dynamic with most characters but especially to arturia

00:29 I agree except replace Viviana with Arturia. All the parts with Viviana and the blind lady and the guard guy were extremely sleep inducing, and I don’t think the event did well in terms of explaining the entire family dynamic and history, and then that death scene comes out of fucking nowhere it did not hit at all. And what is my reward for defeating the Witch King in Zt-10? Zt-10 After: Here’s Viviana still stuck on the stairs resolving her psychological problems completely separate from the main plot.

I wish I enjoyed the story of Zwillingstürme more as a lore fanatic and orchestra member, but gosh it really dragged on and on. Like half way through I forgot what we were even doing or what the obective was. The arknights version of the shadow realm was pretty dope though and Fremont did indeed also catch my attention. Everything before that (minus the ones you mentioned) however... Man it could have been so great. Thanks for the awesome video

No way Ho'olheyak can be on par with Fremont. Well for one, she doesn't rock such an awesome beard that make him look like a Dr Seuss's character

Good video! Fremont was a great character, and I loved the way he was portrayed in the story. As little as he really had to work with and all. I do want to mention Arturia as a highlight though, as for me she was easily the second most interesting character in Zwillingsturme. Though she doesn't immediately present herself as one, she's essentially an addict, and I found her to be an incredibly interesting portrayal of one. Her arts essentially make her a blank canvas for other people to paint their emotions onto, but doing so seems to her abandoning or stifling her own emotions and personality. The witch king called her out on this during one of the cutscenes near the end. There's also another cutscene with a young Executor and Arturia. During the cutscene, she's clearly scared of what her arts are capable of, likely realizing what they are doing to others and to herself at this point, but for some reason or another, whether she couldn't bring herself to stop already, or she was pressured to continue playing her music by someone else, she continued and slowly eroded at her own sense of self. Now, as deep as she's gone, the only emotions Arturia seems to be able to experience are other people's emotions, and so to escape what's essentially an emotional death, she has to commit more and more extreme atrocities in order to get her "hits" and feel anything at all. From what I'd heard from some friends (I'm not caught up in the story, and this was my first meeting with Arturia), I'd assumed she'd just be a generic psycho, but I have to say that I am impressed by what I actually saw of her.

This was a very educational form of media Mr.Rain, thank you

I still dont understand what was the point of Viviana in the event

A fellow Dorothy's enjoyer, instant like.

I actually really liked the ideas behind Hool once I got over hatred for her eyenumbing design and really meh implementation into plot; mainly thanks to the nuclear seiyuu, good base skill, and building her out of spite so I could actually rant about her place in balance ladder This curse and its effects on their race, the why its there and what it leads her to, the ultimate understanding that her whole race's quest is pointless but it still leads them to physical and mental degradation,... even this obsession with you, a literal relic of the past, potentially last of a whole race just like her and yet opposite in actually being your truest self, drilling in just how unfair is the situation surrounding the kukulkan Shit's amazing ground for very cool person-level tragedy IMO And yet we have what we have. A booba bait who had no time to be properly explored even if the implementation was actually good. Which is one of reasons for why I hate all those expositions through faceless npcs arknights loves to do these days. All of that text space could've instead been used for meaningful characters. Well, fuck

Counterpoint: snake mommy hot

Very succinctly put video. Enjoyed it. Though i gotta say this first so it's outta the way, after all the arguments you presented, i feel like you are trying to compare apples to strawberries. Yes they are red sweet fruits and yes some comparisons are fairly logical, but others aren't quite so in my opinion. On your point about influence and power (not physical), they are quite distinctly different. Fremont is currying favors to everybody since he's got all the capital a lich could ever gather and need to exchange it for something else like knowledge and leniency, but Ho'ol is just a nobody snake with very limited lifespan and been scraping the barrels to even get to a relevant position prior to Doro's Vision, and even then her puzzle pieces that she seeks are scattered across antagonistic factions. She needs entry access from Ferdinand, she has to go up in ranks with Maylander to gain clues in the archives, she needs to do the Military's bidding to be let to stay on track, yet she needs to not go all the way since Ferdinand's route is a dead end and it's actually Kirsten's she gotta follow to progress, and even then she is not home free because in the end Dokutah, an entirely different third party holds the true key after all, just for her to see the progenitor of her life's goal disintegrate right before her eyes. In this hindsight, Fremont's influence and power that he uses as an immortal lich is wholly different from Ho'ol's barrel-scrapping double agent acting. And another point is goal, both the character's and the writer's. Fremont's written to be a good-siding character even despite his self-serving nature, only his stinging words present to show he is not a grandiose savior and to be the red herring for Gerhard Hoffman's twist villain reveal. Even when he is offered to have Ludwig University rebuilt for his stead and his autonomy returned like before, he chooses to do the greater good and not attract anymore unwanted attention for Leithanien. Another point, Leithanien is written like this mysterious land full of conspiracy but the only unknowns are between the obvious good guys twin empresses and the slightly veiled sadistic King loyalists, so Fremont has no need to scheme, he just have to lay not too high and his wishes are granted, imo he has no need to do bad things. Compare this to Ho'ol. First, she is definitely written as a foil to characters, most noticeably Mumu, both at the end of their short ropes. Second, Columbia has this mask of civility, yet is full of snakes ready to backstab each other the moment they have to share clout and profit, and ironically Ho'ol is dropped into this den. Even before Doro's Vision, you can read up that Science Firms are at cold war, the Military waging an auction for their support in exchange for R&D for weapons, the Maylander and Government hand in hand to suppress anyone trying to usurp excessive power. Fremont's baddassery and nonchalance that captivates all is simply not possible and not intended in Ho'ol's endless Columbian rat race that demand morality be damned. Which makes me appreciate Ho'ol as a distinct character rather than comparing her to Fremont. Though Ho'ol having her ass bailed is definitely bull lmao, Hypergryph definitely grasping at straws to make her join Rhodes as an Op at the last second.

Oh no you butchered Zwillingstürme I'm Herbst. But regardless of that, nice video pal

As a newer player I’ll say I didn’t find Zweig amazing but not terrible. However those three characters made the event better.

>thumbnail has Ho'olheyak as a fraud This video is peak hands down

As someone with bias towards the sui siblings and their story line I shall deny such slander of ever existing and after living for over thousands of years Ling has every right to do as she please and is one of the more unique immortals I've seen that doesn't whine or complain about their immortality 24/7.

Harmonie just like me there fr fr.

We need more of ling's story to know what the fuck she did in the past it's like they refuse to put anything from her past on the story

Well, Ho'olheyak is an operator and Fremont isn't sooooooo. As much as I love her, her whole "I am trying to find my ancestors true form" thing didn't go anywhere. She didn't quite arrive in time to ask Friston about it, at least he grabbed his consciousness, not going to question how she did that. AND I ABOUT THAT, I still don't understand why she had to join Rhodes Island that way, they really couldn't do anything more interesting than that??? HG could have done more of course, but for now she is in Rhodes Island where a lot can be possible. Her second module also has some weird lore involving robot Friston. . Mean girl? Implies that she is a teenager or acts like one which I don't think its the case. She is sassy and playful, in like a mature older woman kind of way. I'd also dare say that her insults are pretty good. She literally said to Muelsyse, and I quote: "I've got to be careful. A kid who just lost her parents might have a pretty bad temper." That is absolutely hilarious when you take into account the context. Its a type of humor I don't expect people to get, like how I don't get Matt Rife's jokes. I love Muelsyse, but she gets dog walked by Ho'olheyak on a constant basis. Aside from the lore, Fremont and her are pretty similar. He is just more of a serious character which is more "cool" I suppose. She is the more fun character between them. I think her being a loner makes her character more interesting. She doesn't care much for most people, she seems to only interact with people she can get something out of, which makes total sense for her character. A history type of gal with a sense a humor and an adventurous past, nothing boring about that. Also the only K'uk'ulkan we know of. Pretty sure there should be more to say here and I would if I can recall correctly. Sifting through all that yapping to find the good parts is such a chore, because to get a better understanding of them, you need to read through a lot of those. . . I am sure her lore can be more interesting if they tie her actions to something more concrete and/or relevant. Her race is super unique, but its giving nothing. She still slays though. 💛✨

*strongest froud today vs strongest froud in history*

I mean, considering she has brain damage(her backstory and the origin of her single motivation) and a shorter than most lifespan, I wouldn't say her being impulsive doesn't fit with her. That aside, yeah, besides a couple of things and her character themes and some setbacks, she could have been removed from the Rhine Labs saga and the results would probably maybe have been the same like the only reason she is there is because Kristen has Friston which makes it somewhat hilarious Ho'olheyak did everything she did just to not even be able to talk with the sole reason she helped Kristen.

Fremont is my fav Sarkaz Lord. He is fun to read. Unlike Damazti Cluster and Draqual or even Theresa.

Genuinely the only character that makes it bearable for me to read and maybe federico too which is ironic that as a side character he is much more entertaining than in his own event PLAYABLE FREMONT WHEN!?!?

Did you just make a comparison video about two different characters, telling them why they are different and should not be compared?

Ok rain, now that you've actually articulated why you think ling is a mid character, fair point I'll give you that. I will get around to writing a fic that does show her doing those things and the progression from that to her current state as a jaded drunk immortal.

Absolutely nothing in the world couldve prepared a man for that Freudian slip at 1:28 , and you giving us the same illustrations that caused it aren't helping

Ling is supposed to be a drunken hazbin though, the dragon god equivalent of peaking in highschool. She executes that role very well.

Snek redemption arc? Doctor should:🍞🌭🍦 happy end😉🤭

The moment you mischaractarized hoolheyak i immediately said yeah, this video's gonna suck ass 😂😂😂

Holheyak is as bland as the generic gacha player cc trying to find sustain in a gacha game's story lol the stories are just baits to make certain people pull for it, and I say certain majority of players dgaf about that just look at how much money they got out of that banner lol. Judging the gacha games as a normal game is a flaw However is a good video it reminds me to supah in his old days of doomposting an 8th grade level storytelling

PLANS WITHIN PLANS THAT ALREADY HAVE A PLAN INSIDE OF THAT PLANS PLAN OF PLANS

The transitions are a bit loud compared to the rest of the video, good video nonetheless

Yes the lich is top tier and nobody should disagree!

I really liked his part

Nice.

ahhhh my weekly dose of snake hate

Huh tbh, I thought the event was really interesting

This video is like comparing old SUPAH video with this.. Similar but two different person. "I like Fremont than Ho'olheyak" That's cool. "So Fremont has long beard and Ho'olheyak has snake tail so they're different" Yep different. "Since they have different characters, that's why the way they are!" Exactly, so what's this again? "I like Fremont" Bruh Keyword "different character" _Why everyone isn't the same as Amiya as a character? We could bring peace to Terra, but why?_ in short: This video is Ho'olheyak.

Argh stop that the truth hurts!!

I watched the whole thing and... All I got out of this is "I like Fremont more than the snake." That's cool but they are still different characters?? I don't get why this video exists...

So ye, Hool plus Fremont = Mantra hear me out

Thank god youtube has added the "don't recommend me this channel" option.
