Only in Metal Gear will you witness a Brazillian samurai duel a white African cyborg ninja who's foster father was the president and clone of the greatest soldier in history
@@Rorschach003 really? Why does look all japanese like though? The only mgs game i played was mgs4 and i didn't play any mgs games cause i was too young and not ready for puzzle solving / espionage games.
Truth be told, it's best to have NO obstruction of your view. Raiden is a cyborg and had upgrades, including to his eyes... But a visor like the cyborgs all used on Sam's eyes would probably be like wearing night vision goggles- you can see, but your depth perception is FUCKED up.
Actualy it has phases: -Start phase: sam does default attacks -Disarmed phase: ( sam attacks using it's fists by doing barrages ) -Final phase: triggers when sam gets back his sword. Attacks with stronger attacks and using it's weapon "charging" ability
@SEJI_Works I love the DLC for this reason. Sam's own fight with Armstrong is similar, but he wasn't strong enough to finish the job. He fights Raiden because he wants to see if Raiden is strong enough to finish his original mission. Sam isn't just lying when he spouts Armstrong's ideology tho, he wants to know who's ideals are truly stronger, and if it really was the right decision for him to abandon his previous ideals.
Sam is a Samurai who died like a Cowboy. He died with a bitter-sweet lesson yet leaving his ideals, morals and a successor will better the future. Knowing Jack will bring Armstrong to an end, he can die in peace.
well, since sam had the samurai vibe, it's actually a reference that a samurai respected his enemy. If he die, that mean he failed his mission and the enemy finished it, so sometime some samurai give his personal armory as an congratulation gift for the victory
Most bosses in the game have some sort of cheating involved, which makes them feel unfair sometimes. Here’s all of the examples: - Metal Gear Ray is the tutorial boss, but even it comes back once after you should’ve beat it. It isn’t really cheating, but it does feel like it’s trying to. - LQ-84i sends in backup at some points - the first Hammerhead has strange geometry around the battlefield that is hard to scale, which makes it hard to get the chance to attack - Mistral has the tripods, and some of her attacks are unfair, like when you’re behind her and she re-equips her tripods, which comes out faster than usual and has 2 tripods at once - the first GRAD has many explosive barrels strewn about, and in Very Hard and Revengeance, there’s 2 of them - Monsoon can become completely immune to almost all attacks and often jumps up where you can’t hit him - Sundowner has shields, helicopters, and cyborgs that he calls in his second phase - Metal Gear Excelsus is too big to be fun, summons Gekkos, and has an attack where you can’t hurt him but he can hurt you (which is his laser attack) - Armstrong can get free hits that aren’t fair and aren’t avoidable, and if he has his back to a wall while he heals, there’s nothing you can do until he’s done Okay, every boss has some sort of way that they cheat. Let’s see Sam now… - uhhh… his unarmed phase takes a bit to long??? Sam has no major way that he cheats, and every minor way is completely subjective. If everybody in the game fought eachother at once without cheats, Sam would win damn near instantly.
One of the coolest fluke I ever did was when I disarmed him once, the sword landed on one of those breakable boulders. So it looks like the sword destroyed a boulder when it landed.
@@c4datimebomb392 Konami is rumored to be outsourcing the Metal Gear IP. I'd assume it will fall into the hands of Sony and thus allowing Kojima to do as he pleases with his long lost child. One can only hope though.
@@RaptorsHood ohh god yes...!! Metal gear is a masterpiece and if kojima gets his child back he will probably most likely get help from platinum games to make more matal gear games
That is actually the kind of thing you say in a fight to the death. One is an insult. Two it could piss your opponent off do bad it makes them do something stupid.
Its interesting how Wolf tries to be the voice of reason here, trying to convince the other two to put aside their differences without the need to fight, and he is an AI robot of all things
I love how he winks at bladewolf right before he dies at 8:11, as if he's telling bladewolf "well, whatever happens to my blade is up to you now, wolfy"
kind of more like "Well it's up to you now" given how Sam talked to Blade Wolf before the fight (as seen by the audio recording before Raiden got Sam's sword)
I just realized that Raiden "becomes" Sam in the final fight between him and Armstrong. Holds the sword the same way, says "lets dance" to start the fight, uses Sam's sword, and uses his weapon for killing not for justice.
Despite having the strength to compete with cyborgs due to his suit, Sam still human. Underneath the powered exoskeleton he wears, he has a real human body that requires food and water to survive, as well as organs. Raiden was stabbed in the chest and nothing happened to him because it’s all machinery, get the exact same wound killed Sam. He’s strong because he’s an amazing swordsman, if not the best in the world. He’s such a well written character
his badassery doesn't end there, he manages to beat raiden's ass the first time they meet also he gets his own DLC where he faces off against cyborgs, mechs and shit. the guy even manages to knock Armstrong out and cut his hand off. it backfires on him and armstrong stabs him with the stump but the developers said that if Sam chose to take things slowly and slowly whittle armstrong down instead of rushing the fight he would have actually won.
@@swolewalker His evasion gets ramped up and the linearity of his attacks also means his openings go down. It's moreso just really tedious, and first timers will have an unpleasant experience getting faceplanted for whiffing or getting flipped for coming too close
@@swolewalker it causes him to lose his McFucking Marbles, which somehow makes the fight harder because he straight-up punches you like he's in goddamn Yakuza.

It's an unspoken law that you must do this boss fight with only the standard sword, no secondary weapons, no utility weapons, and no support/healing items whatsoever. To do otherwise dishonors the entire fight!
Imagine you're driving down that highway just trying to get to your local Safeway or something and you see these two superhuman cyborgs trying to murder each other by the side of the road.
the fact that in TWO of this guy's boss playthroughs (this, and Monsoon) he lines the music-change up perfectly with the final 'kill' sequence is so unbelievably cool to me
@@pilky_boooi they both much respect each other. when armstrong was about to die it was way more respectful. jack let him say his stuff and he took his words after at the very end
This scene is more significant in the Japanese version cause all the cyborgs have white blood when you kill them like bishop from Aliens but when you kill sam his blood is red further symbolising how human he was
+Parker Gilbert In the japanese version, cyborgs have either white or blue blood, which is why the stab at the end is supposed to be a reveal, that sam has normal red blood. His only cyborg part is his right arm, which he looses when you play as him in dlc.
Sam’s death symbolizes more than initially thought. It symbolizes the player getting strong enough and skilled enough to match him on an equal footing. It means the death of an entire bloodline and it’s history. And it means the death of the samurai ideology as a whole. Sam was the last samurai after Millar died. In his final moments he was the one thing he hated, a dishonorable man who helped a morally wrong organization, and surrendered to Armstrong after the two fought, not comiting suicide as is tradition for samurai.
The way I see it, Sam was a Ronin before joining up with Armstrong. Samurai have always adhered to the superior power, and their loyalty to that higher power is meant to be absolute. While Sam was forced into joining, and wanted to bring down Armstrong just as much as Raiden did, he couldn’t simply just betray Armstrong for Raiden’s cause. It’s as he said: “History will decide who’s right. End of story.” If there’s one thing that defined true Samurai, it was loyalty. Sam was loyal to Desperado even after everything he went through under them.
It should also be noted that Sam is full of cowboy motifs, too. Not only is his death the death of the samurai, but also the death of the cowboy, two ends of an era basically finishing the same.
I wonder how that relates to the game's ending. If Raiden carries on Armstrong's legacy and creates a world where people would "fight their own wars" it would create more people like Sam
@@seamusthatsthedog4819 Which is also what Sam would've wanted for all the people he fought: Fight for what they believe in, fight for themselves, not for a nation or someone superior than them. It seems like these ideologies were just keep on looping to other people.
The dichotomy that a Samurai/Cowboy was the most symbolic opponent for a Ninja/Hollywood Action Hero. There’s an obvious reality to the samurai but the cowboy has its own movie myth. The ninja has historical myth whereas the 80’s action hero is grounded in (debatably) realistic fiction
@kelvinyeo9165 No, the music will just abruptly cut to the end regardless of what point the song is at. It's just that here the player managed to sync the end of the music with the end of the boss fight.
I know it's been 7 years since this was published.. But in case you don't know, if you avoid fighting for quite a while, just blocking and evading, Sam will taunt by saying: "How did you beat Sundowner like that?" Makes you wonder, cause Sam recognizes Sundowner's strength
@@yeheywotmakonen3647 not exactly "Monsoon 2.0" but more of a "anti-Monsoon" Meme Lord is relying on speed, agility, multiple combinations of attacks, while Sundowner is a literal tank - strength, endurance, attacks are slow but powerful and precise. (talking about canon, not the in-game version)
The best part is, at this point, Sam is still mostly human, save for his right arm - A right arm that he had to get replaced after his fight with Armstrong. He's basically been a dude in a power suit the entire game.
I just realized something. In 8:32, it shows that Samuel's sheathe is right next to Sam's body. But when you get to 9:28, Samuel's body isn't there but the sheathe only.
@@beansboggy6337 Yes, because of all the things out there, Sam was Blade Wolf's first best friend and the very first person to ever give him an ability to reason and think logically for itself, without being programmed. I think they said something in the game that both Sam and Blade Wolf has been fighting side by side ever since Sam joined the Desperados, they must've a strong bond that's why we don't see Blade Wolf being hostile towards Sam even after being programmed by Doktor to be Raiden's ally, and also Blade Wolf was doing everything he can to reason with both Raiden and Sam to stop fighting.
"I don't really care who thinks I'm right, and I've got cause enough for killing you." "Good! That's very good! I like that!" Sam is impressed here because of how different Raiden is from when they first met. Raiden was essentially just a hired mercenary, doing what other people asked him to do because he didn't know what he wanted himself. Sam didn't win that first fight because he was physically stronger, Sam won because he was ideologically stronger, and thus could fight with more confidence and proficiency than Raiden, who was fighting for the shaky idea of 'Justice' he had at the time. At this point in the game, especially after the Monsoon fight and adopting the Ripper persona again, Raiden has begun adopting his own ideals and thus can fight with more proficiency. Sam knew he was going to lose the moment Raiden said this, meaning he likely knew he would beat Armstrong as well. This is why Wolf can't decipher his intentions because despite literally fighting FOR Armstrong, he's actually setting Raiden up to be able to defeat him. This game is prime meme material and filled to the brim with stupid jokes, one-liners, and cheezy dialogue. But it actually has a pretty great story and morals to it once you look deeper into it.
Platinum knew the Metal Gear franchise and they knew its hallmarks. MGR: R's story is essentially a distillation of a standard Metal Gear Solid game. It accentuates both the absurd and deep elements of Metal Gear in one stroke.
@@destroyercreater98 omg ikr i literally miss his sword on purpose so he doesn't fight with his fists i mean im up for a challenge yes but cmon his choke slam is way too powerfull and there is no way of predicting when hes gonna do it so you can avoid it
@@mladenperic6041 You can parry the chokeslam charge. In fact you can parry every single one of Sam's moves except for when he throws rocks at you. There's actually very little in the game you can't parry. For example, you can parry Ray's stomping attacks, and the gigantic debris pinwheel Monsoon throws at you.
At 7:29, I love how the song goes "Looking downward from this deadly height..." as Sam is critically wounded and attempts a final attack. Beautiful timing.
One little detail I like that really sells how Sam is just a _really_ skilled normal human: he's got REALLY low health - only 100%, and he loses a lot of it per hit unlike, say, Monsoon - but the fight still takes a while to win just down to how aggressive he is, keeping you on the defensive for most of it.
Every bit of this fight is masterful. My favorite is when you knock Sam's sword away and he says "show me a good time Jack!" That line alone is Sam slightly acknowledging Jack's skill, but also demanding more of him, as if to say "you've disarmed me huh? Good job! Now take advantage of it!!". Almost like Sam is teaching Jack how to fight for real.
"He barely had any cyborg enhancements" What a madlad. Basically surpassing most other villains despite not using the most powerful tool they all have access to
Sam actually dons a powered suit / exoskeleton suit that is boosting his strength and speed to superhuman level on par with Cyborgs like Raiden, however, enhanced power alone isn't why Sam's so powerful It's Sam's impressive skills in both wielding the sword and his hand-to-hand combat, being the epitomy of an entire Generation of Samurai swordsman
Fun fact: the motorcycle Raiden was using is actually Sam's, at the beginning of his DLC he arrives using that exact motorcycle (or at least an identical one)
After playing MGR, I can say for sure that Sam's boss fight was the boss fight I loved the most. He had no minions to cover up for him, no shields to help him block Raiden's sword and no ranged attacks to shoot from afar. He was the most respectful and loveable character. To top it off, he barely had any cybernetic enhancements making him more scarier that the fact he was that strong as a human. This fight was a perfect duel of 2 swordsmen in the sunset with an amazing ost. Everything about him is just perfect.
In the Japanese release, normal cyborgs and the three bosses you fight all bleed white blood, which IRL is due to censorship reasons but ingame is explained as them having artificial blood in their bodies. Sam is the only boss that bleeds red blood like Raiden, because the only artificial part of his body was his arm.
When Sam looses his sword during this fight - the lyrics stops till he regains it back, the same happen during Armstrong vs Raiden fight, when Raiden looses Sam's sword - the lyrics stops till he regains it. Absolutely love the attention to details in this game.
There's also the difference in that the song starts right off the bat, meaning he was serious from the get-go. Every other boss don't get the vocals until they get serious.
Whats interesting about this fight and really fun is that the boss practically does same things you do. He dodges, does a parry, even does a multi swing like you would. Oh yeah, music is awesome too.
thats the best part about sam in this game, he isn't in a giant mech doesnt have tons of robots swarming around you. Hes just like you, just a dude with a katana going up against building sized robots and the greatest cyborgs on earth
@@anarking5764 Yep true tho! But what made Raiden and Sam different is that one had full cyborg enhancement. While the other one is in a powersuit with lots of experience and very well trained with his style of fighting.
@@leonel392 The "canon" fight would've been much likely both Raiden and Sam parrying and dodging each other's attacks rather than actually hitting each other, like a fight between two equal samurai-like warriors, leading up to the end where Raiden manages to finally find an opening and finish Sam off. Remember too that Raiden had a full cyborg body while the only technology Sam really had were his exosuit and his cyborg arm which (according to his own words) was more detrimental than beneficial, so the fact that Raiden managed to win was due to both him having a complete cyborg body and Sam having lost his sword arm, you can only imagine how Sam would've performed with an enhanced cyborg body like Raiden's.
I like how Wolfie says that He is unable to acertain Sam's motivations, underlining the fact that he has none, and spites himself for havnig no reason for him fighting other than the fact its the only thing he can do.

@@BreMeows Well usually the game just jumps to the end immediately, but when he did the qte it's already in the end of the song. So it perfectly blend in with the cut
When I played this, I went through almost the whole game without blocking or countering. It wasn't because I was trying to be a badass, it was because I didn't know how to block or counter up until I got to the end of the game.
This guy accidentally became an absolute chad without him knowing. Like.....How in the fuck do you beat sundowner and monsoon without blocking? Only chads can do that
Still the best playthrough of this boss battles to date: >Music is on point no matter what >barely flubs any of his attacks >always compliments Sam's moveset with his own >demonstrates a good degree of skills, but not too much to seem too overpowered >actually takes damage, makes the fight more engaging >somehow makes it feel as if this is how the fight would actually go down You did a good job, LegendaryPeelz. If I could marry this video, I would.
@@bruhman5829 it’s a reference to the “mountain” one has to climb to achieve success. In pursuit of something like that, as you “climb” you have to give up things, and they are different for every individual. Some give up their free time, some give up their ideals, some give up their families. However, once you reach the “summit” (if you even reach it) and you look back on your journey and the things you gave up, you realize you are not you anymore. The person who reached the summit is not the same one who had the dream of reaching it. If that wasn’t cruel enough, sometimes you give up so much that you even give up the dream itself so that you can achieve it. If you listen to the lyrics, it talks about how Sam doesn’t even know who he is anymore. The song is all about Samuel.
I LOVED this fight for multiple reasons. This one was extra special for me because For one thing, it feels like a match of equals. No cheap tactics are being used, no silly gimmicks or reliance on mooks. This duel feels completely fair. This is not a duel between good and evil but just a clash of ideals and beliefs with two men putting their lives on the line to see whose path is the right one. It's especially good when you know Sam's whole story and one way of interpreting this fight was that Sam is testing Raiden, to see if he has the strength and conviction necessary to do what Sam could not do, even leaving behind his sword for Raiden. This is just me but I notice during the duel whenever you get Dazed status, Sam DOESN'T attack you but gives you the chance to get your bearings before going at it again. A truly honourable individual to the very end, and one I am proud to admit I fought using ONLY Raiden's primary sword. A great fight and I really hope Sam comes back for Metal Gear Rising 2.
It's a murasama, based on the real life muramasa. It's a "demon" sword forged for evil and has a bad history. As mentioned, Sam inherited it from his father, then upgraded it.
He is since all he really cared about was fighting. I hope he comes back in the sequel. It would be cool to see him and Raiden team up against Armstrong.
his " phase 2" is the section of the fight after he gets his sword back from that point onward he start doing his dashing Draws and becomes impossible ot air combo as he just catchres you and throws you back down.
Also the implication that he was going all out is that the lyrics start at the very beginning of the fight, instead of kicking in when hitting a certain percentage, and hell, it even flips the idea on its head. His theme cuts out when he loses his sword and it reappears when he gets his sword back.
I can only agree with the guy who said it before me: *The fact that Sam managed to absolutely shit on and keep up with a guy who can suplex a goddamn Metal Gear, while having nearly to no cybernetic enhancements whatsoever, just makes my day. Makes me sad that we never got to see more of him*
I'm pretty sure the exoskeleton brings to roughly the same level of strength as Raiden. The real difference is that Raiden is much more of a tank since he's a cyborg.
I mean his theme literally says MEMORIES BROKEN THE TRUTH GOES UNSPOKEN I EVEN FORGOTTEN THE NAME ;( Even in the dlc there's not much about his backstory
“Two years, I’ve been working towards this, and on the last day, Blondie has me doubting the whole thing. We’ll leave it up to fate, then, shall we, Wolfy? A duel to the death. May the best man win. I cut him down, and that’s that. Back to our regularly scheduled international incident. But if he beats me… if I die here… the lock on my blade will disable after a couple hours. What happens after that… is up to you, Wolfy.”
3:58 Memories broken The truth goes unspoken I’ve even forgotten my name I don’t know the season Or what is the reason I’m standing here holding my blade A desolate place Without any trace It’s only the cold wind I feel It’s me that I spite As I stand up and fight The only thing I know for real There will be blood-shed The man in the mirror nods his head The only one left Will ride upon the dragon’s back Because the mountains don’t give back what they take Oh no There will be blood-shed It’s the only thing I’ve ever known Losing my identity Wondering have I gone insane To find the truth in front of me I must climb this mountain range Looking downward from this deadly height And never realizing why I fight
They are both the same. Except Sam's sword is specially crafted using high quality metals/alloy. It was ALREADY strong in it's original form. The HF further amplified it's already superior quality.
What I love about this bossfight is the respect they both have for each other. Unlike other bosses, Raiden didn't slice Sam into a million pieces, and he even took Sam's sword (which also helped Raiden defeat Armstrong). It wasn't a fight of "you're a bad guy so I will kill you", it was a duel for ideals. Unlike other bossfights, Sam didn't use any minions, or other items to help him. It was just a duel between two skilled swordsmen, that's it.

Wash away the anger Here I stand beneath the warm and soothing rain The droplets falling gently down on the terrain Wash away the sorrow all the stains of time But there’s no memory it’s only dry inside In the mud and sinking deeper Into a peaceful life And it will come like a flood of pain Pouring down on me And it will not let up Until the end is here And it will come through the darkest day In my final hour And it will never rest until the clouds are clear Until it finds my dreams have disappeared My dreams disappear
it would be a very super revengeance hard extra mega very very extra hard in easy mode and extra super mega duper super cooper fucking revengeance very too hard
Wouldn't be too farfetched to say that Sam put a tracker on his bike. He probably realised there was a launch site nearby as well, and could've killed everyone.
‘Anyone looking for work should consider the fighters guild. I hear they’re always looking for new recruits.’ ‘Raiden, you ran over a child 9 miles back! What are you going to do?!’
"History will decide who's right" I dont know about you guys, but this quote hits different, in a fight both side will declare themselves to be the right, once the fight is over and time passes, we started to realize which one is right.
Vergil would probably shit stomp Raiden. Him and Dante basically are immortal with their stamina and regenerative abilities, plus their reaction and combat speeds are insane. Vergil also had judgment cut... it's just an OP franchise lol Hopefully in MGR2 Raiden has new upgrades that make him legit planet buster level coz that'd be FUN
I like how the vocals start playing at the beginning of the boss fight indicating that there won't be any second phase and Sam won't hold back. Edit: I just noticed that the vocals are silenced when Sam drops his sword lol
The fact that the lyrics end when he drops his sword makes it even better, since the song is basically about him only knowing how to fight after he forgot who he used to be, without his sword he is basically nothing, a shell of his former self, a regular person.
3 phases, technically. the 1st phase, second phase when he loses his sword, and third when he gets it back. yes, thats a different phase, he has new attacks
I am pretty sure you cant do dash and charge attack with normal muscle and i am also sure that he has bio enchantments that increases his muscles strength there is no way a normal human can do that things (theory)
@@flynntaggart7216 He uses an exosuit that gives him all these boosts. The only cybernetic "enhancement" he possesses is his arm, which was actually not a decision of his but actually because Armstrong, y'know.. paralyzed that
@@flufferusgoobusThe Cybernetic Enhancement on his arm actually restrained him as well, as it didn't feel like an actual "Arm", it felt restraining to Sam and he couldn't move his arm as skillfully as before.
Honestly Sam was the only boss I respected enough to remove the Mariachi costume and unique weapon to fight... Gotta honor a real swordsman by fighting him with the weapon he wields best
