Yes, the scythe and sickle are tools for gathering or reaping. Death is personified as the Grim Reaper or the "gatherer of souls". So, Death is depicted as a dark cloaked figure (often a skeleton underneath the cloak) with a scythe because it (he) is reaping the souls of humans in death.

@Warhawk556 9 лет назад

This game was legendary back in the day, I remember playing it when I was 6 or so and the graphics being like nothing I've ever seen. It was also terrifying at the time for a kid. The coffins coming up really upset me for some reason and I asked for someone to put a different game in, and they put in Star Fox. An I thought that was incredible for a console game since I had been brought up on PC gaming and we only owned an NES and SMB1 and SMB3. That same year Star Fox came out, we got Aces Over Europe for PC which I was much more interested in since it was about WW2 planes and utilized a flight stick. I only recently re-discovered Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts and remembered it from my youth.

@ThatBrownBat777 9 лет назад

Cinemassacre Mike, a reaper is one who harvests the crop (sometimes with a scythe). The "Grim" Reaper is supposed to "harvest" souls for the dead. So that's why in Simon's Quest, you can just walk past him, because he's too busy plowing the field for Dracula.

@sedorikkumanga4937 8 лет назад

I guess the scythe on Grim Reaper symbolizes how he harvests souls. And some people really did use them as weapons if they had nothing else. Even the 1800s.

The reason the grim reaper uses the scythe is the imagery of him "harvesting" the living. It's a symbolic thing more than a legitimate weapon.

@MrSamulai 9 лет назад

Scythe is used to harvest crops. Grim Reaper is harvesting our souls so the scythe is symbolic. Can't believe someone didn't know that.

@dradeel 9 лет назад

Right on! It's pretty damn obvious. He's not called the Reaper for nothing. Not to mention a reaper is also a machine for harvesting grain. Heck, reaper is also another word for scythe, and all other updates and inventions that does the same, so there you go.

@shinemperor8950 9 лет назад

Likely won't read this, but I imagine that the idea of the scythe and the dead comes from the idea that, the grim reaper harvests souls... and the scythe is used to harvest grain. My guess would be, that early agricultural communities envisioned death as a natural part of life... so the reaper, has his season too.. when he harvests the dead or souls.. that it has its own harvest...

@benny2.050 6 лет назад

It actually came from the weapon called a scythe which was a modified version of the farming tool a sickle it was smaller and used to rips weapons away from your opponents. Ninjas and assassins used these which they were basically a symbol of death themselves so the weapons were used for the grimm reaper.

Man, PJ, one of my favorite speedrunners was working on this game forever. He is godly using the torch (which does the most damage and the quickest when used to it's maximum potential), but even he could never get really that close to putting a torch-run in the books... The time savings would've been massive. Deathless isn't the impossible achievement for this game. It's actually completing it without taking damage would be ideal. Oh, btw, the speedrunners all do the 2 loops, there aren't 1-loop runs, gotta do both for the ending. they do it in about 40 mins give or take. I'd go pull up the actual WR (it's below 40 mins i'm practically certain), but I don't remember who even has it right now so it would be more work than it usually i for me to link the speedruns, normally I have a good idea who holds it, but no clue here right now. Maybe later on I'll reply again. If you see a reply here from me, it is because I've found it to share alright guys. adios (I'll try to figure out the craziest categories that have completed runs too... ususally interesting stuff), Later.

The reason in actuality why the scythe was adopted as deaths weapon was during the black death people said they saw a man in a black cloak outside of town before the black death game and he was holding a scythe and a lantern which put out gas. Obviously it became a myth due to that. People were paranoid or lying,but it became deaths weapon.

I gotta say, after watching your videos after watching so many other RU-vidrs: your volume levels are perfect. Not too loud, but I can hear everything perfectly at minimum volume. One thing I wish gamers would do is learn some side compression techniques to better showcase game music during pauses. An automated process to make editing simple, while keeping levels perfect. Audio is my passion, and I feel it's overlooked on a lot of channels. My preferred DAW, Studio One has a great video player to sync up audio tracks to video. Love all your work, and always come back to these 3 episodes when I need some long spooky themed gameplay. Can't wait to see future projects from ya.

@twilightzoneseinfeld 9 лет назад

The term reap is used when farmers reap rye or crops in fields. Grim is an ominous term that is often used for misfortune. The Grim Reaper idea came started during the Black Plague, when people were dropping like flies. It was as if Death itself was reaping them. Hence, the Grim Reaper

@PeteSkerritt 9 лет назад

Awesome. I'm TERRIBLE at this game, so it's pretty cool watching you guys tackle it. I must say that I wish I was better at this game-- or, at least, more patient with it. There's a lot of neat stuff that I missed out on due to my lack of skill. The rotating room, for example, is comparable to (though much harder than) the similar area in Super Castlevania IV. I had seen pictures of this in EGM way back when, but never saw it in real time until now. Then there's the really creepy stage settings; fleshy, gross, appropriate. Of course, there's also seeing all the stuff that would almost definitely kill me, over and over and over again, until I might have snapped my SNES controller in frustration. For me, this is a perfect Let's Play game, and I've really enjoyed watching you both tackle it so far. I'm also really liking the banter between you in this part. It's reminiscent of what gaming was like for me with friends back in the SNES era; we took turns playing games to their endings, and we almost always talked about really dumb stuff... most of which usually made all of us laugh. As I've noted on your other videos, they really bring back memories of what it was like playing games with buddies, where having fun was equally as important as playing and/or beating a game. That's what means a lot to me, and why I'm here almost every week, leaving mile-long comments. These videos really hit home for me and my nostalgia, and I really appreciate them.

But "get the knife" is still the best strategy in this game too. It's fast, allows 3 on screen at once, goes through enemies when you have bronze armour+, does good damage and does max damage when done after a double jump, has the most useful magic too.

@Electr0Jesus 9 лет назад

It actually is the best in the game because of it's power. Once you have gold armor and the upgraded shield, you can just keep charging the shield power over and over; most speed runners use the torch, but the knife is also a viable speed run weapon.

Both Ghouls and Ghosts (daimakaimura) and Super Ghouls and Ghosts (chou makaimura) were follow-ups to the original Ghosts n' Goblins (makaimura)

Mike just mentioned how it was used to cut down crops, the sickle is synonymous with harvesting, so in a sense giving it to the grim reaper is symbolic of him "harvesting" the souls of the dead.

@Breaker242 7 лет назад

The symbology behind the grim reaper having a scythe is that he is "reaping" the souls that were born and then are ready to be taken again just as a farmer plants a seed and then reaps the fruit when it is ripe

In the game, you gotta get the TORCH; kills most enemies in 1 or 2 shots

"why does the reaper have a scythe" is right up with "mapplethorpe was a guy who owned a lot of flowers"

@LukeOfTroy 7 лет назад

This is driving me nuts. The sickle with the gold armour completely clears the screen every time.

0:06 It's a sequel to Ghouls 'n Ghosts. Yes, there is another Ghosts 'n Goblins game called "Ghouls 'n Ghosts" (which is a sequel to Ghosts 'n Goblins) for Arcade and Sega Genesis.

So you just wanna charge or update your phone and not deal with iTunes? Android. You're welcome. Apple. Not even once.

@Harperlarp 9 лет назад

You can do that with iPhones.

@TenouHaruka0 9 лет назад

Or charge the iPhone without opening iTunes. Do a little research.

@XH1927 9 лет назад

It's what they get for having iDevices. I think APPLE is a backronym these days. Not sure what the the LE stands for yet, but I'm quite sure the APP is All Peripherals Proprietary.

Grim reaper: reaper of souls like a human who is a reaper of wheat. Kinda obvious actually....

@kylehart8829 8 лет назад

Watching them argue and not know what the word "reaper" means was pretty hilarious.

@brendanbutler332 9 лет назад

I had this game. Hard ass hell. You had to play through it twice to beat it . The second play through you had to pick up a magical wepon to defeat the end of game boss.

WOW...James also didn't beat the Turbo Tunnel in NES Battletoads? Glad I'm not the only one.

Nick Vla Hi, I'm NO ONE. Pleased to meet you.

@pepekong 9 лет назад

Nick Vla I did, with one hand. There's a video on my chanel of me doing it.

@mrkraz 9 лет назад

Nick Vla Turbo Tunnel is challenging, but after half a dozen continues you'll get the hang of it. I remember beating even the snake pit as a kid, it takes practice but once you memorize it it's not that bad. Think the furthest I've got to as a kid was that Clinger Winger (the level where you try to out-race some sort of portal thing). Good lord now THAT is a fucking difficult level, way more than Turbo Tunnel.

@XH1927 9 лет назад

mrkraz I seem to recall reading somewhere that the turbo tunnel is actually bugged such that it cannot be completed in two player mode. Maybe that's just a myth, though, I don't remember where I heard that.

@Lord_Foxy13 9 лет назад

A sickle has a much shorter handle AMD is meant to be used one handed, a scythe is longer and meant to be used with 2 hands sometimes has a horizontal handle to make it easy to control... Hope that helps

The reaper uses a Scythe
