Thanks for writing down these band names so I could look them up easier.

Indeed, I appreciate the toss out to FF10 but it definitely has more of a doom sound.

just commenting as a reminder so i can come back for these music reccomendations

Xanatrix Zadare woah... the demon killers soundtracks inspired the demon hunters soundtracks.... That is aLmost poetic, if only any of the hunters actually liked poetry

Celldweller and Blue Stahli are both good, but I think they both started becoming too prolific, producing too much too quickly. Their work just started sounding bland and uniform. That being said, both of their first albums are great, and Live Upon a Blackstar is a fantastic way to do live music.

Thats why i think its combo 3 in 5 is nero's coolest sequence. He just sorta violently slaps his sword down like hes venting is pent up angst

He's 20 something in dmc5 though. He was 19 in dmc4 iirc.

Whereas Dante's Subhuman just tells you "it is what it is." It imposes power without effort.

@@returnedtomonkey8886 dont matter the age....he still angsty hot headed. Thats how the creators made him. Even at his most mature age, hes still the same hot headed fool.

Holy shit 666 updoots

He reminds me of me.

WHY DID THEY HAVE TO MAKE NERO GO TO CHURCH EVERY SATURDAY

@@ryanlorenzo5003 To be fair, Nero's girlfriend is one of the church girls who if you fake being into God long enough, the sex is amazing. There's another slew of reasons as well.

He does have headphones around his neck in Dmc4

@@solarwarlock8144 It's like Alex didn't know he was accidentally cosplaying as (DMC4) Nero down to the hood of the jacket.

I second this notion. The soundtrack for Revengeance is fantastic.

I third this notion.

Is this a fourth I hear? Yes it is.

I fifth. Also you got hearthed, is this foreshadowing?

I sixth this as well

Tbh I read this in a comment on a Devils Never Cry video

My eyes...are open

@@catlady4858 super lel

I love the petty insults in all of dmc3's songs. Calls you something but only if something is nothing

@@darkpuppetlordful Another one of my favorite with the same energy as the line above is "THE FLINCH IN YOUR EYE CALLS YOUR BLUFF, FEEL FREE TO DIE WHEN YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH" The beauty of the lyrics in DMC3's tracks is that they can apply both to the enemies when you're styling, but also to the player when you're sucking hardcore, lol.

That's the best summary for DMC I think I've ever heard. And even the side-characters all have sad demon shit that has happened to them.

Devil May Cry 5 is a good point in both Dante and Vergil's arcs, as it shows how much both of them have changed. Dante has gone from a style-focused goofball to a gruff and serious mentor, whilst still having that quintessential dante humour, but it sounds more like he's using the humour as a coping mechanism. Vergil, however, we see his arc occurring via V, wherein we see him confront his past, and work through the singular event that fuelled his entire quest for power, and the trauma after that reinforced that perceived need for power. Plus, the fact that Vergil's metaphorical demons take the form of literal boss demons you fight in earlier DMC games is such a good foreshadowing for how Vergil switches from antagonist to a deuteragonist and antihero. Meanwhile there's Nero, the frustrated kid who never knew his father, was raised to be a warrior, and throughout the entire game he is fuelled by a desire to get even with the guy who stole his arm. But when he figures out who it was, and why they did it, that moment, which is combined with him recalling the events of DMC 4, is when Nero awakens to his Devil Trigger, which normally in the series requires intense training or it's awakened in immediate response to intense damage, so the fact Nero accomplished it through sheer emotion and determination speaks to how much he's been subconsciously holding back, because he does not think he's able to achieve such a level of power.

"wait, hold up! I thought DMC had no story AND that while not having it, it was also shit as well! What do you mean? HUH?" Dear lord, I've seen so many people reduce this game to what they experience MOST, which is dying and button mashing, trying to do combos and relishing in it's mask - the over the top nature. Im forever malding over these sleepers that end up lying and gaslighting anyone who is new to the series. (BiG aNimE sWoRDs aND KiLlInG dEmONs!!!) Thank you for that insightful comment!

same, i love drawing and writing to it.

SAY MY NAME SAY MY NAME SE-PHI-ROT!

i forgot about that track, i remember back then everyone was arguing about that song vs powerman5000, loved both tracks lol

Good times, Sephirot Ex. The Edge called a lot of Dragoons on farm nights for sure back then

I think he should keep react in the title. The youtube algorithm likes it. And people look for reaction videos. But he should add "analysis" into the title too for the points you brought up.

ChefPK and ScruFace does the same thing tho

In Germany was actually a guy who wrote "analysis" instead of reaction in the title because he was/is a small professional music producer. Another "non professional" producer who has apparently way more knowledge about the whole thing showed all his mistakes in a really long video. He also showed that his analysis is nothing more of a more music based reaction and the "professional" got much hate for it. (It was a bit more extreme than what I described here) So I think "analysis" is a bad idea but breakdown sounds good to me. (although you're nothing like the german guy) The source is 'Die Zerstörung von 2bough' - translates to "The destruction of 2bough" - by the youtuber 'Rezo'.

Still he’s reacting to it to

I almost expected a KMDMF or Ministry mention at some point, but those Alex and you cited are great as well :p

Plus, Nero is the only one of the sparda family shown to reload his gun, and the "step aside, reload, time to go" is the exact time it takes for you to chamber 3 charged shots in blue rose to prepare for the "bang, bang, bang"

Yep, I just saw both next to each other in my sub box today!

Dante, Nero and Vergil's fighting styles reflect them as characters. Dante uses a lot of flourish with his weapons, oftentimes doing stuff that's straight out of a movie because he's a bit of a smartass, but he knows when to get serious, which is what his attacks with the sword weapons are. Quick, to the point, and serious. Vergil, on the other hand, fights with finesse, technique and speed. His attacks are focused on two aspects above all: power and efficiency. He doesn't do a spinning axe kick just coz it's cool, but ot allows him to deliver as much force with Beowulf as possible. And when he uses the Yamato, it shows not only his intelligence, but also how ruthless he can be. Nero's fighting style, however, is very crude and violent, because he swings around what's basically a motorcycle with one hand. Dante uses two for that, and he swings Red Queen with one. But that sheer force also conveys what drives Nero's attacks, emotion. He is very emotional, as we can see, and he wears his heart on his sleeve. Sometimes his good nature screws him over, but when he fights all of his pent up rage is unleashed. And when you get tier 3 exceed on some attacks that really shows. Like when he repeatedly slams red queen into an enemy, or when he just slashes them four times while charging forwards, sending them flying when it's over

trudat... tho I find subhuman to be just generic super heavy metal (forgot the actual sub-genre of metal it falls under). Crimson Cloud on the other hand, at least to me, is a bit more blurred and unusual.

I’d rather get Crimson Cloud and Devils Never Cry

@@aaron4832 that sounds like V in a nutshell

I really want him to analyze the three tracks that we have the vocals for! Especially Fight Like a Tiger!
