@@R-XI_Sulla Because Osea and Yuktobania would have retaliated with their own nukes. Belka would have been annihilated. So they nuked themselves like you amputate a gangrened member from a body.
AND he's fighting someone who actually pulled it off. He is witnessing the effects of what V2 would have done, and I imagine he is all the more pissed about it.
Imagine if Monarch got caught in the cordium explosion and Cipher take his place as Crimson 1's opponent Mercenary: 《Beautiful! With them gone, all of their payments belongs to me!》《And this wasteland you made, this will be a perfect scene for your final dance with The Demon Lord!》 Soldier: 《Well done! How does it feel sacrificing an entire city just to kill one person who had no bounds or loyalty to any nation to begin with?》《I'm not here for a quota. Just like how you feel for him, your existence is a threat!》 Knight: 《You called yourself a peacekeeper but look what you have done! Does this look like peace to you?!》《A small sacrifice you say?! Then you've lost your honor! I WILL STOP YOU! RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!》 - - CAUTION - - \\ GALM 1 - CIPHER \\ 6th Air Division 66th Air Force Unit
Basically Cipher Mercenary: greedy Soldier: submissive Knight: honourable and no matter how good his morale is his image will always be a Hellhound because he's that good at fighting
Su-27 vs a Morgan with either an SAAs and MLAAs or both on the loadout and an F-15C vs Project Wingman which is a macross plane which throws the one of the most bullshit attack patterns ever. Seems like a legit isekai plot
@@corvus9359 i honestly think it's the V2 since it's literally "sleeping" inside the Avalon dam. I think they refer to the V2 as the king metaphorically because it will bring about their revolution
@@Jusuff But the V2 is just the tool, the means by which AWWNB would change the world. The one who is in control of that weapon in the end is Pixy, their final warrior, theoretically also their best pilot since he was assigned to pilot their most advanced aircraft, who waits for you at Avalon. Sorcerer 1 calls Cipher "The False Hero." The "New Hero" that Sorcerer 1 is referring to would have to be someone who opposes Cipher and also has the skill to be considered his rival. The only one who fits that criteria is Pixy. In Arthurian legend, or at least the variation that AWWNB seems to be based on, Arthur is led to believe that borders are the cause of war, just like Pixy.
@@corvus9359 That does make a lot of sense. A lot more sense than the V2 actually. I originally thought that it would make more sense for it to be the V2 since the place where it rests or sleeps is the Avalon dam. Pixy does fit the king description better than the V2 though.
@@Jusuff Now that I think about it, Pixy's story also contains some allusions to Morgan le Fay. "Fay" means "fairy", and some interpretations of Arthurian legend portray her as a fairy goddess, and pixies and fairies are basically the same thing. Pixy also pilots a plane called the "Morgan." Although as far as I can tell, that's where the connections end. Building on what I was saying earlier though, the fact Pixy pilots a plane called "Morgan" could also reference how Morgan le Fay heals Arthur when he arrives at Avalon after being gravely wounded, much like how the ADFX-02 Morgan allows Pixy, after his period of "slumber," to fight AWWNB's final battle at Avalon. Also in the mission where Pixy defects to AWWNB, Wizard 1 tells him "Your fairy godmother is here," and while Morgan le Fay is not Arthur's fairy godmother, her role in the legend is similar enough for the analogy to fit.
"What do you have to show for yourself, merc? *Blood,* *Gold,* *A broken throne?* I don't know why but this truly does sound like Crimson attempting to get on Cipher's last nerve, referencing all those civilians he killed/helped kill at Hoffnung, PJ, and Pixy, of whom he likely thinks is still dead. Hell, it works on Pixy aswell as "A broken throne" references his betrayal of his king title, his status as Cipher's only canonical "friend", and the fact how he failed in AWWNB. I love these (Zero character) vs. Crimson 1 videos because every character in Zero has lore. They have their triumphs and their losses, their excitement and their sadness.
There is little difference between a king and a demon lord when it comes to aces like Cipher. The lines blur in the middle. Thus is the definition that makes Galm 1 the "Demon Lord of the Roundtable:" The King of B7R. Pretty ironic to still be one of the dogs fighting the last battle, right Buddy? Pixy would say ya still got the touch. ;)
Some people get entirely screwed, but crimson 1 just got he's whole life beaten the shit out by someone from an alternate universe, and then there's the lesson, if you hear flamenco after a nuke launching, scream for help and pray for God
@@m4rionettealastor702 Crimson was like: God has forgotten me And meanwhile God was eating popcorn while watching Crimson 1 getting a PTSD, and being killed
It’s sad that Cipher isn’t a much more popular considerations when it comes to the top aces in Ace Combat. Like Mobius 1 is always considered the greatest, but Mobius 1 didn’t take on countless Belken Ace squadrons, destroy a Belken air mega ship, destroy a tower that shoots precision lasers, take on and shoot down his wing man, who was flying a much more advanced aircraft that had mini nuke missiles and a frickin laser attached to it- like Cipher should have been mentioned a lot more then he was. If Ace Combat 5 would have made made Cipher the “Dark Demon” as the metaphor to the Razgrize story and then made the War Dog Squadron the reincarnated great hero, then the story would have been so much more interesting
The reason I speculate for Mobius 1’s notoriety is because Mobius was the first protagonist of the Ace Combat series, what all the other characters will come to be. A voiceless, nameless character who starts off essentially as a no one or a “mysterious individual” who suddenly rises above the challenges thrown at them to become a legendary Ace.
Mobius 1’s alright, in my own opinion, but Cipher’s the Demon Lord of the Round Table. Also, if I’m right to assume this, he’s probably the aforementioned “Dark Demon” in Nagase’s book- the one that “rains down death and destruction upon the land, and then it dies”
Just imagine the lead up Presidia is in ruins, the man responsible is flying an Airframe like no other. Victory seems far off but even so, Monarch closes in fully prepped for the final showdown when out of nowhere an F-15C painted with odd markings and a crest borne by no nation he knows of adorning it's wings appears, on it's tail an image of a hound biting its own chain. The pilot speaks not a word but his presence exerts a certain pressure, and for the first time since he first faced off against Crimson squadron, every fiber of his being is trembling, telling him "get the hell out, NOW." Prez pipes up from the back seat to ask "who is that" and without so much as a second thought he mutters one word: *"demon"*
Alternate ending where V2 is successfully launched and Cipher must end Pixy once and for all over the world burned to a crisp... a war torn.... borderless world!
I love Zero, such a powerful music. I grew up listening to spanish guitar but it still manages to mix very wel with the atmosphere of a joust between fighter jets.
"You're a slave to history. Even after Calamity, you fight against the only order that can guarantee the safety of your people You soley, are responsible for this" "...Coming from a Traitor like you, destroying the City and breaking the Ceasefire agreement is your sole responsibility. Me? I'm just doing whatever the contract requires"
Out of curiosity, why the reupload? Edit: Nvm, found out the change in music. Still, I think Galm 2 could've been timed a little better when Crimson 1 finally dies.
Thanks! I tried that out, but the result didn't feel right, so I went with the change in music around the same time "Kings" changed to "Coronation" in the original Mission.
Somehow this video made Zero sound like a somber, depressive soundtrack for the first 1:49 minutes. Amazing. Well, the OST fighting to stand out through the thunderclap and explosions are a perfect description of the situation, too. But man, when 4:02 mixes with the orange, that's a pretty thing.
