I know its been a few months since you posted this comment, but i just wanted to clarify: In hebrew, Met(מת) means dead, as in "he is dead" and Emet(אמת) means truth, and theyre both just normal words in the language. Both words end with a hard T, but since theyre singing in japanese theyre adding that h at the end, im guessing. Sorry to bother you
@@InfiniteDrillWorks Thank you for that clarification! I saw online (mainly wikipedia) that both T ending and TH endings are used. Idk Herbew though so the reason is lost on me. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emeth
@@translating_cat From what I can find online in the past the letter tav used to be pronounced th and with a dot inside as t, but now in modern Hebrew it is always pronounced as t. Since the story is old, it was pronounced emeth and meth back then and not emet and met.
@@andrewstevenson4511 Yep, and adding to the complexity, historic forms of Hebrew, and the related Aramaic, had a lot of lenition/weakening of consonants (begadkefat). You can see it in "eloi eloi lama sabachthani", and remnants in Modern Hebrew words like "katav" (vs Modern Arabic "kataba" ("he wrote"), which doesn't have the same phenomenon). Out of those, v, f and kh/ch survived the most intact, where as th was largely lost to history.
For a ~6 stage bullet hell game, WBaWC has an incredibly thought provoking premise that I love entertaining. This song does a fantastic job expanding on it, and I find myself revisiting it. 'I created you,' feels like such a powerful affirmation. I had always assumed listening to it, Keiki was talking to her sculpted followers. The image shown however makes me think a human is affirming their adoration for the idol that they created. Thought of Nietzsche's quote ''Is man merely a mistake of God's? Or God merely a mistake of man?"
@@Dan-gs3kg On the contrary, he means the latter. The song does well to illustrate Keiki, and despite the seeming good she brings, even from just the lyrics and the video, there is certainly something more sinister at large. Is the light of this goddess akin one that saves? or is it one that burns? Seeing as humanity outsourced their faith to an idol of their own to find salvation, only to turn into idols themselves, I'm inclined to say that it burned them. Faith in a power beyond themselves, which Nietzsche derided, was their undoing, even granting the circumstances in which they called upon Keiki.
this song really invokes the thought process of realizing the 'enemy' might not actually be a bad person, but the line is too blurry to definitively answer in wbawc, keiki saves the human spirits by creating haniwa, soldiers that never get tired and are immune to the animal spirits' opression and attacks, however the player is misled into thinking the animal spirits are the victims in this song, keiki is summoned to save the humans, so she gives them imagination, the ability to shape their world. she also creates haniwa, but its not clear if she made them independent of the humans, or if she made the humans into haniwa. the line "I created you!" are probably the rebellious humans keiki turned into haniwa because they didnt expect this outcome
Marisa:"There is no truth in flesh, only betrayal.There is no strength in flesh, only weakness.There is no constancy in flesh, only decay.There is no certainty in flesh but death."
You've ruined this for me. This was my first real exposure to the character and now this is gonna be permanently etched into my brain whenever I see her. I hope you're happy.

This song is fantastic. The lyrics literally gave me chills, the last refrain especially. Sorry, I just had to write this long rambling thing, you can ignore it. - "This power permitted from humans is a gift from god. This imagination that lets you express, create, and shape your world shall be your light of salvation. Go forth and create the future, oh earthborn children of Adam who look to the heavens" Pottery/ceramics - what the goddess Keiki Haniyasushin represents - is one of the earliest technologies developed by human societies, and a key one that helped improve their living conditions and standards, setting them apart from the rest of the animal world. Keiki being a goddess of sculpting by extension makes her a goddess of human innovation and technology, a force that the beast families simply cannot fathom or withstand on their own. - "Your prayers have reached me, and I shall grant them. I will manifest for you, the power to change reality, Idola Deus." The collective cries for salvation by the tormented human spirits eventually allowed the goddess Keiki to be made manifest in the Beast Realm. Her presence there gave the human spirits a means to overcome the law of the jungle, as humanity once did in the mortal world In exchange for their comforts, however, the Primate Garden becomes isolated from "nature" and enslaved to the technology that Keiki provides. -
Ultimately, the human spirits are not "saved" by their own will or innovation, but by their complete devotion to the goddess Keiki (regardless of her good intentions) and her creations - hence "Entrusting this World to Idols." Is that a good thing or a bad thing, though, when their alternative under the beast spirits is the other extreme, a return to a survival of the fittest? - a "Shining Law of the Strong Eating the Weak," represented by the beasts spirits organized into mafia/yakuza-like "families." All these details make WBaWC one of my favorite Touhou stories. And Akatsuki really did its main "antagonist" justice with this one.
That part where the human spirits have to choose either a survival of the fittest scenario in a law of the jungle setting where most of them are enslaved by the beasts, or choose being enslaved by God and her strict divine will reminds me a lot of the Megami Tensei Series. Either way, the human souls have no free will of their own whatsoever since both ways are flawed.
It's really striking how the protagonists are just used by the animal spirits and are actually the baddies in this game. Or at least a morally grey force re-establishing the old status quo... The Touhou-series really shines due to the moral ambiguity of the characters and setting.
@@RainbowDevourer The status quo is Reimu taking it easy. Anything that impedes it shall to be eliminated with extreme prejudice. It's the perfect moral system!
