It Has To Be Ambiguous - Kill la Kill vs. Metal Gear Rising 

7 years later this song has made a resurgence.....memes truly are the DNA of the soul

Being immensely proud of my country, it gives me great pride that a Scottish man is voicing the most American man ever in a Japanese game.

"WHY WON'T YOU DIE?!" "LIFE FIBERS, SISTA!"

"Played college ball ya' know!" - "Yeah, at some cushy Ivy League school." "Try Honnouji Academy!"

I said my scissor was a tool of justice... Not used in anger, not used for vengeance, but now... now I'm not so sure, and besides... THIS ISN'T MY SCISSOR!

"It's kill or be killed, Jack. Honnouji Academy taught me that."

"LIFE FIBERS, SON"

Sounds like a legit opening to a bad ass anime.

SEWING MACHINES, SON!

"Played college football, ya know." "At some cushy Ivy League school." "Try Honnouji Academy!"

"It hardens in response to Nui Harime!"

I am *OBSESSED* with this mix. That's how good it is. By fusing these two songs, you've literally created something greater than the sum of its parts... Now I can't listen to _It Has To Be This Way_ without it feeling like an instrumental or something, 'cause I keep expecting to hear the _Ambiguous_ parts in it. The songs sound like they were literally made for each other.

*Satsuki draws the other Scissor Blade half* "THIS ISN'T MY SWORD"

B-b-but Ragyo is clearly the Armstrong analogue. Nui is so Monsoon it hurts

Reminder that we will never get a "MGR-quality" Kill la Kill game made by Platinum.

Lifefibers, Son.

"I'm not one of those no star pansies. I could break the Honnouji Academy president in two... with my bare hands!" EPIC MIX!!!!!

"YOU FRICKING FRICKS! WHEN WILL YOU LEARN?! WHEN WILL YOU LEARN... THAT YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES??!" - Senator SammyClassicSonicFan

"So... You think those little scissor swords can save your friends? Well, go ahead! But make no mistake, Ryuko. When I'm finished with them... You're ne-" *Slice* "MY ARMS!!! MY ARMS MY ARMS MY ARMS MY ARMS MY ARMS!!!"

Who rocks heels better: Raiden or Ryuko?

You know... A Kill la Kill Game with the MGR mechanics it's not a bad idea. Damn... Now i want that to actually exists and every second on a reality that this isnt a thing makes my life misserable.

Wow...I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed that. Like 0:52-1:10 had such a perfect flow. I'm really impressed, great work!

A platinum kill la kill game NEEDS to happen

I'M MAKING THE MOTHER OF ALL MASHUPS HERE, SIIVA! CAN'T FRET OVER EVERY NOTE!

"I could dress the President... with my BARE HANDS!"

"Why won't you DIE?!" "Heheheheheh...." *RIP* O_O "Lifefibers, girl. They harden in response to physical trauma." *SLAM* "You can't hurt me, Ryuko!"

YES RYUKO! SPLIT IT WIDE OPEN!

"Played college tennis, ya know." "At some cushy Ivy League school." "Try Honnouji Academy!"

"I was a cheerleader for Texas State, y'know!" *Blocks Ryuko's Strike.* "I could've gone pro if YOU HADN'T CUT OFF MY ARMS!"

You know what? This works so well. Kill la Kill is a parody of over the top shonens while at the same time being awesome and over the top. And Rising is a parody of over the top action games while at the same time being over the top and awesome.

It should be illegal how well they sound together.

Nui: "Born from Ragyo and the original life fiber. Became lead fashion designer of Revocs. I'm not one of those beltway pansies. I could break Satsuki in two with my bare hands. Don't fuck with this grand couturier!" Ryuko: "What the hell are you?" Nui: "Why don't you stick around and find out." Ryuko: "Why won't you die?!" Nui: "Life fibers, girl."

I love that everybody just made variations on the "Nanomcachines, Son" with a reference to kill la Kill.

Gamer: Why the plot of Metal Gear never ever be clear? Kojima: It Has To Be Ambiguous, Son

I know very little about Kill La Kill. But after listening to this, I'm imagining a fight between this chick and Armstrong, both full of nanomachines, against Raiden and a cyborg Ryuko. Am I wrong?

These two songs go so well together in every way, even the lyrics. Both songs are about finding someone - in this case, a worthy adversary - that's just like them, that can see their true selves, and can determine their own fates. Two badass sides of the same coin, meeting for one final, epic showdown.

I've got to hand it to you, fantastic flow and armony you've got going on here.

Ryuko=Raiden Satsuki=Sam Mako=Blade Wolf Nui Harime= Monsoon Ragyo=Armstrong It all makes sense

*"WHY WON'T YOU DIE ALREADY?!"* *"Why, Life Fibres, Ryūko dearest! It occurs in response to irreversible damage! Oh dear, it does appear that you cannot kill me, darling!"*

"NUI! I said my sword was a tool of justice. Not used in anger. Not used for vengeance. But now... Now I'm not so sure. And besides, this isn't my sword." - Satsuki before she uses the circular Scissor Sword to fight Nui Harime after her own sword, Bakuzan was broken by Nui.

Weird, I seem to be the only Revengeance Fan who hasn't seen Kill La Kill who really likes this.......

MAKIN' THE MOTHER OF ALL LIFE FIBERS HERE, RYUKO! CAN'T CRY OVER EVERY SPLIT SEAM!

10 years and still on top!

This...... This is is incredible. I especially like the part at 2:10 when the two songs converge.

To this day I can’t listen to “It Has to Be This Way” without hearing the lyrics from “Ambiguous” in my head

This guy is the artist of the mashups and the ARTWORKS??!!! ITS JUST AMAZING!!!

"when your making the mother of all suits ryuko, you cant fret about every thread"

God Dammit. WHY HASN'T PLATINUM GAMES MADE A KILL LA KILL GAME!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? This makes me want that to be a thing.

Ryuko and Jack are both fast anxiety swordsmen who absorb something of their enemies after cutting them up.

IF YOU NOT WITH MAMA, RYUKO-CHAN, YOU'RE AGAINST HER.

I'm really just compiling all the other comments with my own additions. (Okay it kind of got out of hand and is REALLY long now) "Designed school uniforms ya' know!" "Yeah, at some cushy Ivy League school." "Try Honnouji Academy! Coulda gone pro if I hadn't joined REVOCS. I'm not one of those runway pansies. I could dress the President for brunch... with my bare hands!" (Throws Ryuko) "Don't fuck with THIS Couturier!" "Urgh... what the hell are you?" "Why don't you stick around and find out." (Fight) "Nice knife." snaps scissor blade. "Typical fashion designer. Big dresses, but all frills." "What?" "Redesign the clothes industry? What a load of bullshit! All you care about is... sewing dresses with pockets! That, and your mass production. You have no ensembles, just like all the rest! If fashion's gone to shit, you're just another seamstress sewing up the pile!" "All right, the truth then. You're right about one thing. I do need dress sales, and models. Wanna know why? I HAVE A DREAM." "What?" "...That one day every person in the world will control their own fashion. A Land of the TRULY pretty, damnit. An industry of freedom, not vogue. Ruled by creativity, not brands! Where the trends change to suit the individual, and not the other way around. Where choice and fashion are back where they belong: In the hands of the PEOPLE! ... Where everyone is free to sew - to wear - what they want! Fuck all these Fashion-forward Labels, and these off-the-rack outfits! Fuck this 24/7 internet spew of French Haute Couture Bullshit! Fuck these Fashion Fairs. Fuck the fashionistas! Fuck all of it! "Fashion is diseased, frayed to the core. There's no patching it. We need to pull it out by the seams. Wipe the dress clean. CUT IT OUT! And from the threads a new style of fashion will be formed! Evolved but not sewn! The bland will be purged, and the creative will thrive, free to dress as they see fit. They'll make fashion great again! "What the hell are you talking about?" "You still don't get it. i'm using assembly line clothes to buy out the business! So I can end assembly line clothes. In my new industry, people will create and wear what they like! Not for labels, not for designers! Not for what they're told is beautiful. Everyone will be free to wear their OWN CLOTHES!" *Proceeds to stomp the living hell out of Ryuko* "So... what do you think?" "...How the hell did you get promoted?" "Well, I don't buy my own dresses. You should try wearing what you think is pretty sometime, Ryuko. Not for a company or social media or anything else." "Maybe i was wrong about you..." "Am I finally getting through? ... I'll rid this world of pointless clothes, Ryuko." "I was wrong... You're not greedy... Tu as perdu la tête!" "Huh?" *thrown* "Ugh. URGH!" *slam* "I'm stitching the mother of all garments here, Ryuko. Can't fret over every thread!" "Not while you're purging the bland, right? What do you know about the bland? You've never been poor. You've never dressed ugly. You don't know what its like to gather, and cut, and sew just to be dressed!" "But you were dressed! Through sheer force of will, following your own dress code. With your own two hands, you took back your clothes!" "And now, I'll take yours!" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ... "Why won't you fray!" "Heh heh! Life Fibers, son! They reform and regenerate no matter how they are sliced. You can't trim me, Ryuko."

I can see Raiden and Ryuko having an epic battle to the death with a nearly indestructible Nui using her Life Fiber infused body enhanced with nanomachines ("Nano Fibers" if you will), tearing her apart, each wielding a half of The Rending Scissors, until they tear her open and rip out her heart in a glorious display of fire and steel as this song blasts in the background.

Knitting the mother of all cardigans here Jack! Can't fret over every stitch!

200% MAD

"You Ryuuko..Dont let any illegal life fiber bullshit get in your way..Carve your own path as you see fit.."

CNT Muscle Fiber synchronise. Kamui Zandatsu.

Of course two songs from media about hitting things with swords REALLY fast would go well together.

Every time I listen to the original MGR song, I can’t unhear this version. Triple Q, you really did too well to fit this, this is a masterpiece.

8 years and still on top.

I judge songs by what they do to my body, this made my throat go numb and tingly, 10/10

Raiden-Ryuuko Sam-Satsuki Blade wolf-Mako Mistral-Nonon Jakuzure Sundowner-Ira gamagoori Moonson-Nui Harime Khamsin-Uzu Sanageyama Armstrong-Ragyou

After all these years this mashup still goes hard as hell

Life fibers, gal. They regenerate in response of physical injuries. You can't hurt me, Ryuko.

This goes way harder than it should be allowed to

Can’t unsee the connection between Nuis arms and NANOMACHINES SON

Ryuko: "WHY WON'T YOU DIE!?!" Nui: "Life fibers, son!"

And both Kill La Kill and Metal Gear Rising are both Exalted. Satsuki is a Solar, Ryuko is an Infernal, the elite four are all Lunars, and Raiden is an Abyssal. They should all ban together and take down Ragyo (Kimbry) and Nui who is clearly some sort of primordial eldritch thing. And Mako is........... Umm............... Mako is Mako.

“Making the mother of all dresses here, Ryuko! Can’t fret over every seam!”

I just had a weird little codec conversation in my head in which Ryuko and Raiden discuss their own combat attire or lack there off.

OH MY FUCKING GOD YES YES AND WHY HASNT THERE BEEN A KLK MOD YET?!?!

CAN'T FRET OVER EVERY THREAD, JACK

"Did high school sewing, you know? I could stitch the principal to a wall... with a plain applique! Don't fuck with this grand couturier!"

When I saw Nui's new arms, I immediately though of Armstrong. Are Trigger big Platinum fans or something?

Thank you RU-vid for recommending me this banger

"we are making the mother of all mashups here, Ryuko-chan. We can't fret over every note!"

Fun fact: Armstrong is actually in kill la kill

That would be quite an interesting alternative scenario. Nui, instead of following the example of Ragyō in handing over people to the covers, in secret actually hatched her own plan to unite people with threads on the terms of humanity and create in the process a more powerful and perfect world with her at the head of course. Still being a "villain" but in Armstrong like fashion.

NANOMACHINU RYUKO-CHAN!

LIFE FIBERS RYOKO-CHAN

Sound like an intro of an anime I would totally watch.

I'm not like those Honnouji Academy pansies! I could break a 3-Star Uniform in half with my BARE HANDS!

"You're shitty dream dies with you..." "Maybe not... You've guaranteed the life fibers will survive, Ryuko. For a while longer at least... Clothing, will continue as an institution, as an industry. Men will be clothed for reasons they don't understand, fashion they don't believe in... But at least I'll leave a worthy successor. You, Ryuko. You carve your own path, using whatever methods you see fit... You don't let proper attire get in the way, and if a few men get nosebleeds, so be it."

Oh my gosh, I had this in a playlist and was thinking, "Aw, it's going to be missing from the list now D: " but I was in another window and didn't really pay attention and when it started playing I was like, "Wait, how is this playing, I didn't replace it in the list...?" Haha, I'm so happy you got your account back!! Long live Triple-Q!

I actually cried when I thought I’d never be able to hear this song again.

LIFE FIBRES SON! THEY HARDEN IN RESPONSE TO PHYSICAL TRAUMA!

I've never really been into Japanese music and stuff, but 0:51-1:10 is actually pretty awesome and epic to listen to! Great work!

A Kill la Kill game made it by Platinum Games

Background makes me uncomfortable, but the songs go surprisingly well together.

I am so glad this is back up.

Standing here, I realise You are just like me, heart of flesh and fabric! But who is worn, the man or cloth? When you loose your way, I think we'll both agree: Life Fibers fight Fibers But in the end, it has to be this way

It's been seven years and I still think this mashup takes two 10/10 songs and makes an 11/10.

...Damn. The thought of mashing these songs never once crossed my mind and I thought it was a joke or something when I saw it in the related videos to something else. Of course, now that I listened to it, I now know it wasn't a joke at all and actually rather damned good. Fantastic job.

LIFEFIBERS, SON

For those interested, here are the lyrics in full English: I just want to protect this precious world That's my one and only crazy desire But my one ray of hope is for you to be with me right now No one else can wear that outfit I feel an inexplicable heat in my chest Now that we have reined in the threads of fate A new dawn comes Violence breeds violence But in the end it has to be this way All the while with numb fingers, I searched For the answer to a brilliant world But it reflected back at me From my teacup the whole time I’ve carved my own path You followed your wrath But maybe we’re both the same The world has turned And so many have burned But nobody is to blame Yet staring across this barren wasted land I feel new life will be born Beneath the blood stained sand Beneath the blood stained sand The inexplicable heat you taught me again today Falls down my cheeks as tears Now that we have intertwined our respective feelings A new dawn comes Surely that's the one thing on my mind

honestly, all these awesome remixes of the MGR soundtrack is what made me wanna play the game. when i got to the final boss fight, i kept expecting this to play. from listening to it so much

So we meet again, its been 7 years snail!

This is what Kojima would’ve wanted.

Nanomachines, son. They harden in response to scissor blades. *You can’t cut me Ryuko.*

Anna: *NANO-BOOST!* Genji : Did you just say. . . . .Nanomachines? *Nanomachines son. . . . .* Naaaaaanomachines ssssooon. . . . . *Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanoooooooooooooooooomaaaaaaaaaaaachiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinesssssssssssss sssssssssoooooooooooooooooon. . . . .* -Remembers every death- *TRIGGERED!* RULES OF NATURE AND THEY RUN WHEN SUN COMES UP!!!

Literally art.
