Red Vs Blue Season 13 Finale - (Church's Goodbye Speech) 

I love how each characters’ last words are... just the summation of their character arcs. Sarge: “Gentlemen, looks like this is it.” No insults, no prejudice against the blues, just that true leader he had inside him all along, shining out as he inspires his men one last time. Simmons: “Sir, it’s been an honor.” No longer brown-nosing, a genuine sense of camaraderie and respect. Lopez: “If I die, Make sure my parts are recycled.” Still the practical one, but now having come to peace with himself. He no longer wishes to simply exist. He’s ready to become more than what he is. Donut: “I love you too Lopez.” Donut does his gay thing and misunderstands Lopez, yeah, but he also shows how close he’s come with his team. Remember how not so long before, no one liked Donut, and he didn’t care for anyone on either team more than peripherally. Doc: “Aw, that’s so sweet.” O’Malley: “Now, let us strike fear into the hearts of our enemies!” Doc’s finally become a member of the team, as well as bringing O’Malley’s desires of mass destruction down to fighting for his friends. He finally cares about them more than just because of orders. Grif: “That’s the smartest thing you’ve ever said.” Sassing like usual, but no longer maliciously. Just taking someone else’s fighting words, so he doesn’t have to think up his own. But it isn’t laziness now. He already gave his fighting words when he drew the Grif Shot again. He doesn’t have to say anything more. He has nothing left to prove. Caboose: “YEAH! Let’s get ‘em!” Dear Caboose... still so innocent and happy, finally able to fight with his friends in a way he understands. He has his buddies, and they care about him like he’s always wanted. Tucker: “See you on the other side, Church.” He has faith in his best friend. It’s no longer coincidental friendship, he actually cares about and trusts Church. And in those words, he says all he needs to. Faith in the plan, in Epsilon running the suit, in keeping him safe... Church: “Ain’t that a bitch?” Do I even have to say anything? Well, I suppose there’s one think I can say: “Run it again FLISS.”

This hits infinitely harder now knowing that this is essentially the last piece of intended canon in Red vs Blue, ain't that a bitch?

I don't care what anyone says. This is the true ending of Red Vs Blue. Edit: It's been two years and suddenly getting way too many more comments on this so... I should clarify... The final season looks promising. But I can't say that I have my hopes up to much. It's not too unlike Rooster Teeth to fumble the ball nowadays. Second Edit: I am broke. And have not watched it yet. Pls no spoilers. I have heard it's good. Just waiting to be able to see it myself.

This not only hurts at church's death but when you start to realize this is one of the last time all the OG Actors were together

Church made me realize that the heroes at the end of stories really don't see the happy ending. That really makes me think, I'm also super depressed now but whatever

church isn't gone...he's just...not here right now...

'See you on the other side, Church!' *Sigh* 'Not this time, buddy.' Lie down, try not to cry. Cry a Lot.

It has indeed been an honor, everyone. May all of our childhoods and Rooster Teeth rest well.

_"But sometimes, you will lose a friend. Sometimes, even your best friend. Maybe you grow apart. Maybe you get into a fight. Maybe they're destroyed in an electromagnetic pulse. These things happen. It's just a sad, sad, sad, saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad part of life."_ _"But you know, I think the very best things about friends, well the thing most people forget about anyways, is that no matter how many friends you do lose... you can always make more."_

I have an mp4 of this downloaded. Every time it finishes I mutter, "Play it again Fillis."

This scene is more sad when Burnie Burns has officialy left Rooster Teeth

The end of an era. The end of it all. 2003-2024 🐓

This unit has a soul.

I'm not the only who cried, Right? Right? *sniffle* RIGHT?!

The meta's end goal, in uniting the fragments of the AI, was to become human, to restore themself to what they should be, but they were always missing the most crucial part. He can have logic, creativity, pride, anger, any of the other parts of the human psyche that coincide with the other fragments, and still fall short, still be a monster. The meta failed, both in his attempts to unite the fragments, and to become human. One fragment however, became as close to human as it was possible, growing and learning and truly finding friends. Epsilon, the memory of alpha, was the only one to truly achieve any sense of humanity, through his memories. both of what was left of his past, and the ones he made in his experiences. The memories of his friends, the relationships they formed, and the challenges they overcame. That is what made Church, human. After all, memory is the key.

If anyone is here due to the recent controversy around Rooster Teeth I'm glad you're here to honor the true finale of the greatest show that Rooster Teeth ever created. While RT crumbles and decays from its it's own corruption let's just remember the good times when they actually had passionate people in charge who despite initially making this show for shits and giggles transformed it to a story that many will remember for the rest of their lives. Memory is the Key

Church: I just want you all to know... out of everyone I've ever met... I hate you all the least... Tucker: See you on the other side Church. [and time stops] Church: Not this time buddy. [Church's sniper rifle disappears. Delta appears next to Church.] Delta: are you sure about this? Church: I'm sure. Start a recording for me D. Delta: Recording [Delta disappears] Church: Hey guys If you're hearing this it means you did it. You won. You kicked the shit out of Hargrove's forces. I knew you could. But this is my last stop. See when I came into this world I was really just a collection of somebody else's memories. But with your help, these memories they... they took form. They became my voice, my personality. And after a while I began to make brand new memories of my own. All of these things are what make me who I am. But they're also holding me back. I can't run this suit as Epsilon. But if I erase my memories, if I deconstruct myself, the fragments I leave behind will have the strength to get you through this, I believe that. I wish there was another way, but I'm leaving this message as well as others in the hopes that you'll understand why I have to go this time. [Church laughs] It was... it was actually Doyle who made me realize something I never thought of before. There are so many stories where some brave hero decides to give their life to save the day, and because of their sacrifice the good guys win, the survivors all cheer, and everybody lives happily ever after. But the hero never gets to see that ending. They'll never know if their sacrifice actually made a difference. They'll never know if the day was really saved. In the end they just have to have faith. Ain't that a bitch

You know...I started RVB only a few weeks ago. Before that, though, I knew it existed; I would see on so many sad songs comments quoting Agent Carolina's "never say goodbye" and, mostly, lamenting the death of Church. After starting and finding out Church died in the first few episodes, I began to think it was some running joke. And, indeed, Church kept "dying" over and over, only to be revived in some shape or form. It got to the point where I didn't truly worry about Church dying...until a few episode before this, when he deconstructed due to the pressure Carolina was putting on him during the battle with Sharkface. It suddenly hit me that, despite all his previous "deaths," Church was still a very vulnerable, very relatable character who had grown incredible amounts throughout the series. And when I finally reached this scene. I understood every one of those comments. Sure, Church may have died in the first few episodes, but his life wasn't truly felt until the end of the show. Ain't that a b**ch.

Everyone except Tucker and Caboose: H-He's gone. Caboose: C-Church? Tucker: Caboose...h-he's gone...he isn't coming back... Caboose: No...he didnt say goodbye...so that means...he just isn't here right now...right? Tucker and the Reds: *hugs Caboose* Tucker: ...sure buddy... *When Wash and Carolina find out* Wash: ...god...fucking...damn it Church. Carolina: *Doesnt shed a tear* Tucker: How are you not torn about this! CHURCH IS GONE CAROLINA! Carolina: No...Church didn't die today...he died a while ago...I said my Good bye, that was just the memory of Church. Caboose: but, even if it was just the memory...doesnt that still make him Church. He had the same memory, and even made new ones. Doesn't that make him Church. Grif: *mumbling* holy shit, he said something smart. Carolina: *takes off helmet to reveal her tears* I know, I just didnt want to hear it.

I think the most touching part of the finale is that we see every character together, with allvtheir personalities. We see them finally united, putting their petty fights behind them and finally becoming a team. Man, if this really is the end of the main story and season 15 doesnt bring it back, im glad it ended on such a high note.

this show went from being just a bunch of jokes to a show with that makes you crie and has so much depth.

This right here is where RvB ended for me. It was such a great finale. Story felt like it had truly fleshed out everything it needed to, characters felt well developed and rounded, and a nice good heartfelt goodbye speech from Church that felt like a goodbye to the fans, just as much as it was to his friends. Everything after this was just random filler plot garbage imo.

This is actually one of the best voice acting scenes i’ve ever heard. You can actually hear pain in his voice as he talks. Maybe Burnie was drawing some emotions into this script reading, because, holy shit it actually is amazing. Maybe he’s drawing his emotions knowing that he’ll never be Church again.

Did anyone notice from left to right it's Grif, Simmons, and Sarge and near the middle is Sarge, Tucker and Caboose. and as it slowly goes right all the Reds and Blue are slowly mixing into one team. And did anyone else notice that in this epic scene, it's all the originals cast: including the memory of their first enemy O'Malley in their first Medic while one of their friends wear one of their greatest enemy's armor into battle and their first AI they kept around for a while is someone they've known since the beginning who's saying goodbye. And the AI fragments are still apart of Epsilon/Church, he's still leaving parts of himself behind to let them know he's not really gone even after he says goodbye. but imagine how'd they find out that Epsilon isn't with them anymore. As they rush into battle, everyone is surprised on how the armor is working without the AIs to work it but even forget about it as they start fighting. And when Tucker gets in a jam, he calls for Epsilon/Church, but it's Delta or some other AI to assist him. After they're done with the battle, tired and bleeding, the AIs play the recording of Church's goodbye speech. They all react in their own way, grieving. but then Grif looks up and says, "Who's going to tell Carolina?"

Anybody remember the old character jerseys they sold in the rooster teeth store. Tex's number was 10 and 10 was her final season, and 13 was Church and is his final season.

This was the last Red vs Blue episode I watched. I had a feeling that what followed was not going to be what I was used too. And now, today I heard Rooster Teeth has shut down, "Ain't that a B?%©h."

Out of all the series I've ever watched... I hate this one the least... Good-bye Red vs Blue... Good-bye Rooster Teeth. It's been a pleasure to know you. You made my awkward teenage years and young adulthood just a little less shitty. Thank you for making such a kickass series. Rest in Piece, Rooster Teeth. You're not gone... you're just not here right now.

if they wanted to make this even worse for us, they shouldve let caboose say : Church? after the credits :3

Caboose's "Let's get them!" just kills me

I'm not gonna give y'all some bullshit "this is where it all should have ended." But I just wanna say. If your here you remember how impactful this was to the show. This arc was a masterpiece. Enjoy the speech, enjoy the tears. This was a hell of a childhood.

First death "I've always hated you the most" Last death "out of everyone I've ever met I've hates you all the least" And I love how even in the end while he was all self sacrificing and all he still was egotistical enough to be referred to as the hero even in sad stories

Man I'm gonna hate to see how Carolina and caboose react to this

Church had always been my favourite character from the start of season 1. This made me cry

It’s been real Rooster Teeth

I’m crying, and if you see the date, you know why

An end of an era has come to pass...

Epsilon may have been a memory of a man, based on a man...but that memory will always be remembered. As Delta once said, "Memory is the key." And you know what? That's damn right.

Anyone still watching this in 2020? *Sniffs* Spartans never die... They only go missing in action

anyone else coming back to this still? I can't stand where the show has gone. Honestly, it should've all ended here. This could've been the perfect ending but it droned into the mess it is now. I've watched this show since I was a kid and I don't think the song Contact will ever leave me. I still remember the day I came home from school when this episode was put out, I watched it on my phone and I remember crying when this happened. Church really had such a deep story bro. And to think they gave us the possibility of him being put back together but just sorta swept that under the rug -.-

I get shivers every time I watch this. Especially when I then go to watch 'Caboose's Guide to Making Friends'.

R.I.P. Church/Epsilon "Aint that a bitch."

Church’s final speech here hits so much harder now after restoration…

Man this was 7 years ago?! I still remember watching this when I was like 14 and feeling like such a dork for crying for like 5 minutes as the credits rolled lmao. Still makes me teary eyed today.

The way his voice subtly wavers at "deconstruct" gets me every time. Really, REALLY good voice acting.

I can't help but think Tucker is gonna take this the hardest.

Goodbye Sarge and Doc.

This hits different after restoration. Love ya Doc.😢😢😢

The reason that I'm now currently laying on my couch, wiping tears from my burning cheeks, sniffling snot so I can breathe, is because these two teams...they hated each other in the beginning. They were "supposed" to be enemies. When I watched the first season I though this was just going to be a comedy show, but it developed in to so much more. This ending shows how far these two teams has gone. It shows how much they have been through and it shows the REAL power of friendships. The ones that are built on trust and belief in one another. It shows how strong the bond between a team can be. That these two teams who were set to hate each other, are now best friends. They're a family. They fight together and they stand together. As. A. Team. It absolutely crushes me imagining their reactions (especially Tucker & CABOOSE) knowing that Church is gone. They have been through the worst shit together and yet, this ending is so powerful at capturing who they have really become. This show, reveals that no matter what situation you are in, no matter how hard the opponent is, no matter if you're an inch from death, as long as you have your friends, your family by your side. Then you don't have a single thing to worry about.

And with today, Roosterteeth drew its last breath… Thank you, RT, for giving us what you did.

Not me crying at 5 am 10 years later as my childhood shuts down after having spent the last decade watching it become a perversion of itself. Rest in peace, Rooster Teeth. You were something sick and twisted at the end, but.... you also wrote my childhood. Thank you for living long enough to become the villain. Before you guys go, i only have one more question for you: Do you ever wonder why we're here?

This has always felt like the official Canon ending to RVB to me. I know there's seasons after but... this was really the end.

Came back here after watching Restoration. This hits even harder than last time

Church's speech really hit deep, perhaps this can also be a lesson for us all, this show was one of my favorites.

This hit so much harder after the closing news…

This hit's harder now that Rooster Teeth is being shut down, RvB was a big part of my childhood and seeing RvB's final season being in limbo and Rooster Teeth shutting down is quite sad and I'll never forget what Burnie Burns left behind.

o7, it's been honor boys. Rooster Teeth will live on in our hearts.

This speech echoes everyone's feelings after Rooster Teeth's closing. As a fan since season 3 it really is a bitch to see it end

Rooster Teeth… it’s been an honor.

Man this speech hits different now

My heart breaks each time I watch this

Its funny, I remember for my Theater class, they wanted us to tell a speech that is inspiring or something in that area, and we did that twice, and both of mine were from this series. One was Sarge when he went after Carolina and church to the abandon location for the director, and this one.

Well boys... Let's run one more.

Just needed it watch this today. RT was my Childhood, and while they may not have always been the best, they are one of the heroes in my story, and I'm sad to see them go.

I’m here after the announcement of the closure of Rooster Teeth literally in tears. So many memories associated with the show and this episode… this was the end of Red vs Blue, kinda the end of Rooster Teeth… I’m happy to have shared this experience with you all over the years. I love you all.

This is the second time I cried from a movie or a show. Ever

This moment was the end of Rooster Teeth

Reading this 6 years later, still makes me tear up... don't say goodbye, I hate goodbyes...

This hits different after the news came out today of Rooster Teeth shutting down. We're gonna miss you Rooster Teeth. Well see if this supposed final season of RvB ever comes out. I guess we'll just "Have to have faith... Ain't that a bitch."

Goodbye RvB, goodbye RT. Thank you

"name a character that has went through more pain than her I'll wait" Me:

This would have been the perfect ending to RVB

After the latest announcement, I’m happy I still had faith. Can’t wait for the true finale.

Church's final statement about heroic sacrifices makes me think about the scene in Reach where Jorge sacrifices himself to destroy the supercarrier, but ultimately doesn't stop Reach from being destroyed. Like Carter said, "He just gave his life thinking he'd saved the planet. We should all be so lucky."

Anyone else watching this after hearing the Rooster Teeth news? 😢

The beauty of Church/epsilon’s speech is that he’s saying thank you to his friends who gave him freedom. They were the ones who pushed him to become better, and they were his true friends, the true family that his previous self didn’t have. With him being the literal Ai of memory, the problem he had was that he was being held back in the past. And now, to truly say his feelings to his friends. He can now let go of the past and be free. sadly, the only freedom for church was Death, but he never feared death to the very end. What a god damn legend

Hey RoosterTeeth, If you do get a chance by reading this, you guys did it... You guys finally came along way since from the very beginning in 2003... You guys have evolved from Ever wondering Why Are We Here? to our explanation culture phomention to our lives... From Achievement Hunter to Let's Play, Versus, Go!, Ray departures, Between The Games, Minecraft, CHEESE, Gavin kept on losing and winning, screw things up that kept me laughing, Fan-mails and the rest you already know... But let sometimes, they'll always Controversies on the Internet, departures of Ray and Ryan's offscreen departure that let Jack and Michael depressed and tears, people moved on from RoosterTeeth despite some dark and unoffical secrets that spread on Twitter, RU-vid and Communities and Geoff's heartbreaking words to this announcement of the closure... We (meaning I) would wish there was another way, we would have helped you guys to carry your touch till the very end... I would've have help you guys to kept on entertaining the fans alike (despite they calling it Woke on RYWB and the rest) (Chuckles) It was in fact, Burnie's Idea, he have made his Church's final departure words has really inspire me, when the time is right, I would have made this choice as well, create your own team, bring your bunch of friends (who which, you haven't seen them for a long time), work as a team, follow your dreams, dedicated fans and communities will have their points of view, criticize our issues, we'll fix the problems, create new things and kept on changing to entertain our people, fans or maybe yet, everyone around the world with the power of laughter, tears, smile, falling in love, have a family and everyone lives happily ever after. But for sooner or later, the Rooster finally learns how to fly, the smile turns to sadness, and the Teeth would never laugh again... Always hide our tears within our eyes and watching our childhood and our success flies away and ended with our waves goodbye to our beloved years of success 👋 And in the end, we have accept for only one thing... *Ain't that a b*tch!* RoosterTeeth 2003 - 2024

Back after seeing the news, One last run To restore what was lost

Glad im not the only one going through the feels with the recent news...

And we back. Season 19

"Don't say goodbyes, I hate goodbyes, after all, we tough space marines, right?"

don't say goodbye I hates goodbyes

This is when RVB truly ended. In a way I’m glad Rooster Teeth is gone, at least now it can live in my memories

Who’s watching in 2020?😪

Restoration was alright, but I still prefer this as the real ending.

We all know why we're back here.

That speech hits so much harder after watching Restoration.

This is where Red vs Blue should have ended. It would've been perfect. I have refused to watch it sense this scene and erveryone tells me I'm lucky I didn't. The true and best ending. Glad I got to see this show come to such a spectacular end. RIP Church. This is why we're here.

This should have been it. Everyone had matured, grown close, and became a family. Church found what he wanted, a home he wanted to go back to. Tucker had become the leader he was always capable of being. Sarge came to respect his men. Caboose finally got his friend he always wanted. Washington was finally respected for the skills he knew he had. Carolina got her closure. Griff and Simmons were finally friends and soldiers to be respected. But corporate greed is stronger than a happy ending.

This is the best written speech of any series I have ever heard or seen in my entire life.

This kinda feels like foreshadowing to Burnie leaving the company. He gradually phased out, and in advance Church was gradually phased out. "Loved my time here, but it's time to go. I'd like to think I left you with the pieces to continue. Goodbye."

It's kinda sad now, knowing exactly what happened in Restoration.

Thank you for all the memories, laughs, and good times, Rooster Teeth. Without your videos there to relieve some stress and get me through those long nights, I don't know if I would've made it to where I am today. Maaaaarrk Nuuuuttt!!

This is the true end of RvB, and no one will convince me otherwise. Seeing a bunch of idiots and assholes gradually growing a bond to the point where they can be considered a family, albeit a dysfunctional one but still a family. Now faced with the likely possibility of death they face towards death together as a team more close then any team a professional army could mold. Nothing will ever surpass this scene. Whether the Reds and Blues made it out alive or died actually doesn't matter. You can choose to have faith they made it out, or believe this is the best goodbye to these beloved characters. The choice is left to the audience, not the studio, and that's why this is so good. Frankly, the following seasons just couldn't live up to the greatness the first 13 season progressively gave us so to me there's no point for the show to go on besides making money, but when one puts money over passion the story always fails. If you truly love this series and respect it's characters. This is the perfect place to stop

RT community: See you on the other side Roosterteeth. RT: Not this time buddy

Thanks for all the great memories to whoever worked in the golden days of Red vs Blue! Cruising down Blood Gulch avenue forever!

I almost cant believe we're back. Burnie is fixing this. Matt is fixing this. It's happening boys. Maybe Church can do it.

Now apply this speech to RWBY season 3 and cry forever

Man crazy how an episode called "The End" isn't actually the end of a series.

The best part about this clip is that neither of the badass freelancers were anywhere nearby. This was just the original group of guys that started in that box canyon in the middle of nowhere, and it was Tucker that got to wear the amazing suit and be the badass who I can only assume killed most of Charon's forces. Church gave his life to allow his best friend be the badass he always deserved to be. In this moment they weren't Reds and Blues, they were a family.... In the immortal words of the Epsilon unit Church, "Ain't that a bitch"

After the movie, this hits way harder than it did years ago man…
