I thought for sure Gheb would have been the Sacred Stones pick. Orson's more memorable, sure, but he _is_ a major boss, being included as one of the Creature Campaign characters, alongside technically being a playable character. Gheb has the SIgune situation, but better since he actually does more in his own chapter, and is a significantly more dangerous boss
Mustafa was one of those characters who I felt had potential to be a secret recruitable character. Have certain enemies flagged as not wanting to fight, spare all of them. Explains that he won't join you now due to Gangrel's hold on the country being to much of a problem for him. But have him show up in the valm arc while talking with Validar, offering his assistance since Chrom spared those not willing to fight. Or something along those lines, a character that well written is someone I just did not want to kill. Sort of an FE3 Sheena recruit, where sparing all her soldiers gets her to join.
There's so many great minor bosses in sacred stones Gheb is absolutely brutal with the insinuation he brings. Carlyle a man that betrayed his queen for a chance at love that won't be requited. Morva: the lord of dragons and myrhh's caretaker, zombified. Orson too ofc
I would even add a couple more to that list. Pablo is one of three characters to be fought on multiple maps (and the other two are major). Tirado is the man who kept Ephraim pretty much locked down but couldn't beat him, and is the boss of a key chapter. Breguet is a name I'll always remember because early boss who is funny to laugh at in randomizers. More of a meme on the last one, but I think all three are memorable.
Shout out to Aias too, he's Caellach's comrade who fought Erika in chapter 13 Erika's route. The plus points are when he respected the player's skills when defeated and after you survived to the turn limit when he felt he got betrayed when Caellach let loose the Rausten Knights supposed to be stalled and shown being killed by his trusted companion's blade in the end. Extra points in Carlyle too, he was Joshua's teacher.
Orson may have few lines, but by magnitude I don't think he follows the spirit of this video, he betrays the Renais, the twins, and marks the game's shift into the endgame, little too major for the taste. My pick for Sacred Stones would be Aias, all-around a decent mercenary you face, that leans into the fourth wall to comend you, the player, as Renais tactician, should you best his formation. It also becomes his best death, for Caelach callously murders him if he survives the chapter, showing how far he is willing to go for his ambition of becoming king.
amazing video. 1000000% agreed on Mustafa for Awakening, that chapter hit so hard he's definitely one of my favorite bosses in Fire Emblem. would've been insanely cool for him to come back later in the game and join the shepherds, considering he'd probably fit right in and even has connections to a unit or two in your army. plus his design slaps.
Where's my main man Haitaka. He's like the figurehead of the capture mechanic for me being the first capturable boss and a great help in conquest with his rally defense
I'd say someone that could be thought about and probably should be for FE6 is Erik, one of the few characters in FE to be fought in multiple games. He is undeniably minor, but it's incredible that he's fought by both Roy and his father in similar situations. And to bring up FE7, if Denning/Glass didn't get absolute meme value, I wonder who would be next on the chopping block. Teodor has been mentioned as the most unique Druid color scheme we've seen and one of the few to transcend just having a normal color scheme, but we also have Eubans, a man who had the guts to invade Ostia but also a boss that shares a sprite with a Lyn mode gaiden chapter boss. Also he's a boss who actually moves, making him quite spooky.
Septimus is my choice for Radiant Dawn too. He’s just too funny. “To safety! I must escape to Mugill. The beasts… The beasts wish to… CONSUME ME!” I’d like to also point out Damian from Blazing Blade. The fact that he shows up on an otherwise innocent side quest chapter as an ambush spawn and just starts dropping the hardest boss quotes makes him completely unforgettable for anyone who (wisely) played that side quest. “Lord Eliwood of Pherae… you do not yet know to fear the Black Fang. I will teach you that fear.” Last point, I swear. PoR has possibly the most memorable unnamed NPC in the whole franchise. (Well, besides gatekeeper) “Now we’ve got you! Eat rock!!! Heh… eat rock… I’m pretty clever.”
As soon as you explained the criteria, I knew exactly who you'd pick for Awakening. Hell, I haven't played that game in about a decade, and I still remember him.
I would say for fe9 the honour goes to Gromell.. for being one of the only bosses that can be killed by his allies. He even was the first minor boss to receive a cipher because of it. And has been in 4 FEHchoose your legends route.. placing pretty high, especially for a one shot character.
This may be quite a silly reason but for me the most memorable boss unit in Fire Emblem Engage is Abyme just because when I first saw her, her design reminded me of Android 18 from Dragonball Z.
Great video, I do like the points you're exploring the series from. I'm surprised by Denning, was Teodor too major? 🤔 And if Orson counts, then I guess Perne should :P I do like when assholes are well written, blame me, but his whole chapter is also so different from the norm while tied to his character.
I think the more you think about Denning, the more tragic he becomes. Like the message he was programmed with implies Nergal made him expecting he was going to die, and sent him off on a suicide mission
I was expecting you to pick Henning for Binding Blade, because everyone going for the good ending has to fight him and he stresses me out every time I fight him
Ishtore from Genealogy gen 2 stuck with me. A high ranking noble who opposed the child hunts and had a happy marriage with Liza. His character has so much potential as the brother of the Emperor's fiance and works really well being the first good man Seliph fights.
Yes! Minor antagonists are the best. I always thought that, since they were going all out in the war in Fates, Kumagera was Rinkah's dad, but it turned out to be just a general lol The most memorable for me in the entire series have to be Mustafa and Cervantes. Both had the potential to be recruitable characters. Not to mention both are extremely hot ^^
I remember that Radiant Dawn Dudes death quote was funny because he said “I always knew it would end like this” you died by a girl riding a dragon bonking you on the head with a hammer
Id say ny choice for Engage gies for Chaoter 3's boss Abyke even though shes alsp in another chapter because even though we beat her in Elyos she somehoe managed to escape to become the boss of chaoter 18, the boat map But nsot people wont even notice its the same character because, not only she has a completely different class line, going from axe armor to Berserker she also has a bit of a distinct honor. Baring the next few fjghts with the hounds Abyme is the last human you fight in Engage. Everything else from then on is corrupted
I was going to say Gheb is more memorable, but another comment says that so I'm going to nominate Novala, for getting his actions on a Cipher card. Bonus points for the beta build where after Eirika hands over the Lunar Brace, he just kills the child right Infront of Eirika. Peak bastard behavior.
Not going to lie I would like to see the bosses from this video be added to fire emblem heroes at some point I know some are but there's still a lot that aren't hopefully in the next book they add them
You allow Mustafa but disallow Camus? Orson whos a playable character? Might as well include Rev Gunter then. No Henning for fe6 is also wack, he's even more infamous than Gomez haha. I do disagree on the fe5 characterization, its one of the games that gives characterization to most bosses, especially since you can capture them and get special quotes.
I'm very surprised that Ishtore didn't win for fe4. Wasn't he the obvious choice? Considering he openly hates the child hunts and stuff? and his death leads to Ishtar refusing to join our side? Isn't that similar to Lonato in that he's a minor boss and yet still has a connection to another important character?
You gotta be out of your mind for putting Septimus for Radiant Dawn. The most memorable boss in Radiant Dawn is obviously Djur, do you even know how much of an average player's Radiant Dawn's playtime is spent attacking Djur?!
I'm just glad Jedah isn't in this video. His daughter are memorable and he isn't? Sounds about right(in case you didn't know, i absolutly HATED Jedah after whay he did to Celica).
Chapter 9 of Shadow Dragon has always sat badly with me. Degenerating tyrant ot not, Marth's army intrudes on his kingdom and even by necessity it's an intrusion on his sovereignty. Plus the chapter is completely irrelevant to the overall story. It's as filler as non-Gaiden Fire Emblem has ever been, and we really didn't need to kill him from a story perspective. It would have been better if Dohlr or something was pursuing you and it turned into a three-way battle.
I honestly thought i was losing my mind. It took me way too long to realize Nagapedia, Pichupedia, Impapedia, and Piantapedia are the same person.
The more you know
Lmao you're not alone, I've been getting this comment a lot across all channels recently haha
They are not the same person
the duel logs moment
they're actually all identical siblings that happen to be in similar lines of work like Anna
Most rememberable of Awakening: Walhart because you can easily mistake calling him Walmart
I thought for sure Gheb would have been the Sacred Stones pick. Orson's more memorable, sure, but he _is_ a major boss, being included as one of the Creature Campaign characters, alongside technically being a playable character.

There's so many great minor bosses in sacred stones
Gheb is absolutely brutal with the insinuation he brings.
Carlyle a man that betrayed his queen for a chance at love that won't be requited.
Morva: the lord of dragons and myrhh's caretaker, zombified.
Orson too ofc

just thought about it more, and they could've even given him supports with emmeryn and gangrel. damn. missed opportunity for sure.
Where's my main man Haitaka. He's like the figurehead of the capture mechanic for me being the first capturable boss and a great help in conquest with his rally defense

Gheb is iconic for the wrong reasons 😂
As soon as you explained the criteria, I knew exactly who you'd pick for Awakening. Hell, I haven't played that game in about a decade, and I still remember him.
Suddenly, warping through time and space, Captain Padraig appears!
Guess we couldn't forget him
I would say for fe9 the honour goes to Gromell.. for being one of the only bosses that can be killed by his allies. He even was the first minor boss to receive a cipher because of it. And has been in 4 FEHchoose your legends route.. placing pretty high, especially for a one shot character.
Bro, it's GOTTA be Glass. The gods fear his name!
And his PEERLESS SKILLZ
This may be quite a silly reason but for me the most memorable boss unit in Fire Emblem Engage is Abyme just because when I first saw her, her design reminded me of Android 18 from Dragonball Z.

GLASS! hes hot 😅😅 shoutout to Igor his pallete swap. His PEERLESS skills was a nice meme
A foe once made the mistake of telling Hector he was nothing without his axe. This makes him the most memorable to me. :)
For PoR I was ready to get mad if it wasn't Gromell, but Schaeffer "I'll use babies as meat shields" actually is a superior nominee, I agree 😂
Ishtore from Genealogy gen 2 stuck with me. A high ranking noble who opposed the child hunts and had a happy marriage with Liza. His character has so much potential as the brother of the Emperor's fiance and works really well being the first good man Seliph fights.
Ishtor is great
Yes! Minor antagonists are the best.
I always thought that, since they were going all out in the war in Fates, Kumagera was Rinkah's dad, but it turned out to be just a general lol
The most memorable for me in the entire series have to be Mustafa and Cervantes. Both had the potential to be recruitable characters. Not to mention both are extremely hot ^^
Barst, the very first pirate boss in the entire series, who loves to chop woods, that’s all
"This is a message from Lord Nergal. I await you on Dread Isle."
14:53 i really thought he was gonna say "incredibly memorable rack" and i was like "true"
I remember that Radiant Dawn Dudes death quote was funny because he said “I always knew it would end like this” you died by a girl riding a dragon bonking you on the head with a hammer
Id say ny choice for Engage gies for Chaoter 3's boss Abyke even though shes alsp in another chapter because even though we beat her in Elyos she somehoe managed to escape to become the boss of chaoter 18, the boat map

Baring the next few fjghts with the hounds Abyme is the last human you fight in Engage. Everything else from then on is corrupted
Was suprised, thet for FE7 the boss wasn't Kishuna. I mean, he's barely a character, but the ability to seal/silence magic around is very memorable.
I was going to say Gheb is more memorable, but another comment says that so I'm going to nominate Novala, for getting his actions on a Cipher card. Bonus points for the beta build where after Eirika hands over the Lunar Brace, he just kills the child right Infront of Eirika. Peak bastard behavior.
Was definitely expecting Gheb for Sacred Stones. The community has memed him for too long for him not to be memorable
for me i think the guy on shitpost emblem who posts desaix memes a lot makes me really like and remember desaix
Not going to lie I would like to see the bosses from this video be added to fire emblem heroes at some point I know some are but there's still a lot that aren't hopefully in the next book they add them
Gomes the invincible
You should do story explanations for smooth brains like me lol
Mustafa makes me sad, but I don't see any in character way he could've been spared.
You allow Mustafa but disallow Camus?
Orson whos a playable character?
Might as well include Rev Gunter then.
No Henning for fe6 is also wack, he's even more infamous than Gomez haha.
I do disagree on the fe5 characterization, its one of the games that gives characterization to most bosses, especially since you can capture them and get special quotes.

Isn't that similar to Lonato in that he's a minor boss and yet still has a connection to another important character?
It’s such a shame Sonya doesn’t have any unique dialogue when fighting her sisters
In the first game the pirate boss that is way too strong so early stands really out for me
But that is just purely based of gameplay
You gotta be out of your mind for putting Septimus for Radiant Dawn. The most memorable boss in Radiant Dawn is obviously Djur, do you even know how much of an average player's Radiant Dawn's playtime is spent attacking Djur?!
I like how by not remembering his name, thought "is that the boss of the chapter Tormod joins in part 1?". And it turns out, yes, it is
I thought Linus and Loyd for fe7
Mustafa deserved better.
And so did cervantes......,s mustache
For me it is Mustafa from FE13
3 houses? Dragon Rhea of Course 😉
You dare stand up to Batta the beast!?
Gotta be Denning
I'm just glad Jedah isn't in this video. His daughter are memorable and he isn't? Sounds about right(in case you didn't know, i absolutly HATED Jedah after whay he did to Celica).
Need more Gheb
FE7 better be either Bug or Glass
Can't believe Glass got an honorable mention lol
The answer is the black knight
The only reason why Engage is a bad game is because Nelucce died and didn’t join your army. Whack.
Bro Nelucce was robbed 💀
Chapter 9 of Shadow Dragon has always sat badly with me. Degenerating tyrant ot not, Marth's army intrudes on his kingdom and even by necessity it's an intrusion on his sovereignty. Plus the chapter is completely irrelevant to the overall story. It's as filler as non-Gaiden Fire Emblem has ever been, and we really didn't need to kill him from a story perspective.
