Suikoden Analysis - True Runes [Part 1] 

It’s great to see some Suikoden content on RU-vid. Always wanted more in depth analysis and theories on a series with so much lore and characters to explore.

I always wondered why that nameless assassin in Suikoden 4 got his own portrait.

*hears "Reminiscence" during Rune of Beginning* Legit one of my favorite pieces of music I've ever heard. So beautiful and melancholic.

Suikoden! Thanks for going over this, what a wonderful series! It makes me feel so nostalgic.

I've always been fascinated by the 28 true runes. Thanks for making this video!

Looking forward to part 2! I keep checking for it

So happy I found your channel, we need more Suikoden content!

God I love this series. The way it's been left in the dust is a travesty.

thank you so much for this, suikoden will always live on

Suikoden is a hidden gem just like your channel. Why do you have few subs and I'm several years late lol.

Thank you for this great video ! I love being reminded of my favourite saga :D

Love your content hope you get bigger soon you deserve it

Love your content Hellfire. Keep up the great work!👍

As usual, anything with Suikoden in the title get's an instant like from me. As for the Eightfold rune and Yuber, I've had a theory about this rune for over a decade and have proposed it numerous times. Buckle up, because this is going to be long.... I believe that Yuber is not human. It's stated when he's encountered that he doesn't feel human. He's a monster conjured from the World of Emptiness, possibly by Windy as a vessel for the Eightfold rune. More specifically, he's a "mirage" monster, the type fought in Suikoden 1,2 and 3. They were summoned to the final battlefield by Windy in the first game, and summoned again by Luc in Suikoden 3. They wear the same armor and have super high evasion like Yuber. Perhaps he's an evolved version of this monster type, or perhaps possessing the true rune is what changed him. Another thing that leads me to believe he is a summoned monster, he behaves like one. He lives for battle. He arrives when called upon, has no stake in the outcome, and when the fighting seems like it's over, he disappears to fight another day. As for the nature of the rune itself, it gets it name from the Noble Eightfold Path, which is a Buddhist practice to reach enlightenment and peace. This directly contradicts Yuber's nature of violence and bloodshed. I believe that Yuber, not being human, has been able to overpower the will of the rune, in order to gain it's enhancements but not follow it's will or let it influence his behavior. As a result, the rune found a way to correct it's misuse. It created Pesmerga. Pesmerga is a literal shadow of Yuber. He looks the same, only with dark hair. According to the castle detective in Suikoden 2, Pesmerga does not sleep or eat, and despite wearing what appears to be a heavy suit of armor, he moves silently. His mission is to track down Yuber and kill him, thus freeing the Eightfold Rune.

1:20 Ah, it's like the ol' "immovable object" meets "unstoppable force" paradox.

Great content, hope we can get more information about Sindar but of course we won't :(
