2:08:20 Additionally, as his mantra is melancholy, being cold and calculated isn't actually what powers him most. You can look at melancholy as "acceptance of pain". By losing the mask that dampened his emotions, he can embrace that feeling to it's fullest extent. It's like piccolo taking off his weighted cape
You did a stellar job on this video. Your past self would be proud, hell, I'm proud of your growth since your earliest videos. I'm a psychology major working on his bachelors and then going straight to his masters. You did a better job doing a mental breakdown on the importance and significance of these characters decisions than I ever could have. You did a 4 hour video essay that was entertaining the entire way through. If I was asked to do that for anything, It would be ass. You get the big okey dokey from me and an 11/10. You're passionate, honest, concise, clear, and effective with making your points. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
(weenop) Took the time to read your previous comments. Incredibly profound and insightful perspectives, and all I can say is thank you for the additional input/feedback. Means a lot when people take that much time to not just relate to my incessant gushing, but also to add their own take on to it as well 🙏.
This is what I've been waiting for. Someone to do a full analysis of Asuras Wrath, and its by the dude who's done the best ninja gaiden analysis vids. Good shit man
3:09:38 Building off a previous comment I made, yasha is "acceptance of pain". Asura is the opposite, "rejection of pain". Asura actively fights the pain, and Yasha internalizes it to drive him. The more you break them down the more opposite their answer to "yes or no". However, the idea of Nirvana is to embrace one's self to the absolute fullest with understanding and recognition of why the other paths exist. This game expresses that by using exact opposites working together. Even if they couldn't disagree more, they know what it just and understand the other. We saw Yasha's developement in this way, but Asura had to make this realization as well. If not, he wouldn't have worked with him once he achieved control from their fight. The best way I can personally express it comes from my experience as a chef. A whet stone creates the sharpest knife, despite being the roughest stone.
1:32:41 His master's death effect is also different from the others so far. While the others perished into an orange blood like mess, his master passed peacefully dispersing into a white+rainbow energy.
I also peeped the impact of Augus' death because keep in mind August saw Asura as a son to some extent. In the end, he felt Augus had nothing but love and respect for him. In his own way of course
FYI The name of the metal remix of Dovorak's Symphony No. 9 that starts at 2:00 is The Wizard's Last Rhymes by Rhapsody of Fire. Rhapsody ****ing RULES!
Oh si Weenop qué rico aprietas Weenop gracias por salvarme Weenop. (I'm watching this after being rejected by my crush, this is exactly what I need, thx Brain bros)
Asura's wrath is one of my favorite games, to learn of your channel through this long video is an honor. Seeing anyone finally thoroughly cover this is amazing
You did an incredible job, the only thing i knew about this game was its title but i feel like you manage to fully convey the appeal of the game and its story, to the point i actually cried at the end
Funny thing is that the original Thief ends with the main character (Garrett) killing one of the gods of his world (The Trickster) by doing what he does best.
I've seen (I'm pretty sure) all of your videos at this point and, while I always listen, I'm not always really watching. This video is one of the only ones that got me to pause everything else and just focus on what you were saying. Though long, I really enjoyed it---especially how everything came together towards the end (with that last hour being where I really locked in).
Dude you’ve become one of my favorite channels, ur videos are so informative and funny while flowing in a way that always keeps your attention. And above all ur music choice in this video and the ninja gaiden videos are perfect
You are a criminally underated channel. Seriously one of my favorite channels on the site, i find your vids to be very insightful and wildly entertaining. Thanks for telling me more about the art i enjoy while making me laugh, you da man!
I love deep-dive videos, Weenop. You give good commentary and insight. It makes me wish my PS3 still works, as I would love to play Asura's Wrath right now. I believe there is a secret epilogue you can unlock that shows that everyone reincarnated in the modern world with Asura being happy with his family including Yasha, Deus being a nice guy and a CEO, Argus being a buff otaku, and Wyzen getting the short straw and having a cruddy life.
Kino. Plain and simple, got way more emotionally invested in this than I thought I would at first mostly because this does my 2 most favourite things in the world Balls to the wall shonen absurdity And rich philosophical and existential catharsis Brain alert delivers again, I kneel.
really sat my ass here for nearly 4 hours and for the first time. my perspective on something was enhanced. large in part. the echoing, music choice and edit choices were really f ing good. kudos my guy. editor deserves a bajillion dollars
@fjordon87 in the end of AW they show us the future of the world and Chun li is in it. It's straight up her so it's Canon. Or I say it's canon cause I'm cool
@@fjordon87Nope, non-canon, Chun li in the ending is just a cameo, nothing more. And neither Ryu or Akuma are anywhere near as strong as shown in the DLC. Capcom just made the DLC for fun.
All the nier music just makes it that much easier to recognize Asura shares the same voice actor with Grimoire Weiss. I bet Asura is so angry because no one ever called him GRIMOIRE Weiss.
I just finished the second channel marathon yesterday. Thank you guys for the amazing content, may life give you back for what good you are doing. Sorry if cringe lol
I like these kind of videos of yours much more, where you focus on the narrative. You're so good at portraying a story I could 100% watch any game video you do like this even if I don't care or even know the franchise🙏
Great video. I was 12/13 when I played this game and it’s stuck with me all the way to 25. Best exploration of philosophy and godhood I’ve seen in a game to this day. And it’s the biggest tonal inspiration for the book series I’m writing right now
Absolutely amazing fucking video my dude. Your pacing, sense of humor, timing, and writing are both concise and explorative. This truly is, a video essay.
I love this game and i love theze long firm videos i get so excited to watch your content and the fact u picked such a gem i cant exspress how fire this is and makes me look at this game in a new light you rock bruddah i cant wait to share this with others
YESS BRAIN ALERT IS BACK 🗣️‼️ Loved the video and love the extensive background on lore and different mythologies and cultures. Maybe sometime in the future we can see some armored core or warhammer space marines or warhammer mechanicus 👀
I find it insane that Asura's Wrath has been out for over a decade and yet the first person I've seen take the time to analyse it as something more than hype footage, is the Ryu Hayabusa nut that self-identifies as a clown
The Noise i made when i saw this on my timeline has lined up suspiciously well with a certain natural disaster rapidly approaching. The man fucking delivered once again. ❤
What if instead of Asura's Wrath, it was Asura's Freak and instead of being angry and beating up everyone, he was horny and beat off everyone?
yeah this is the one
what the fuck is wrong with you man 😂😅😂😅😂
The Hot Spring scene was the real plot after all
3:00:08 Yasha edging
Just ruined my whole day and for what?
"but you will still live" one of the best games and one of the best videos on this platform hats off, cant wait for the next one

This channel is the reason why TH-cam exists, a real ninja reviewing real ninja games 👹
“I can’t right now honey weenop is back”
Weenop came back with the milk 🥛

Thanks! I was trying to search via info about song covers of the original symphony but had no luck
this channel keeps me alive 😭
Imma shut this channel down now 🥵
babe, your pregnancy can wait new brain alert! just dropped
Oh si Weenop qué rico aprietas Weenop gracias por salvarme Weenop.
(I'm watching this after being rejected by my crush, this is exactly what I need, thx Brain bros)
Asura's wrath is one of my favorite games, to learn of your channel through this long video is an honor. Seeing anyone finally thoroughly cover this is amazing
Dude what an incredible video I already loved Asura´s Wrath and you just made me appreciate it even more love your videos man
That was a good 4 hours. Im still shocked that Asura has never been in a Capcom fighting game, especially with the DLC.
I love long videos that cover some of my favorite things ever. This video didn’t disappoint. GREAT WORK!
You did an incredible job, the only thing i knew about this game was its title but i feel like you manage to fully convey the appeal of the game and its story, to the point i actually cried at the end
Honestly thought Asura’s Wrath was just a prolonged QTE turns out to be a deep and rich story.
WEEENOP Back at it again with another 🔥 video 👊🏼you guys are literally my new favorite channel
It's about time gang gang!! Glad to have u back my g. Brain alert is back for the win!!
Asura's Wrath content in the year of Lord and Saviour 2024?
Hell yeah I'm down to watch.
Funny thing is that the original Thief ends with the main character (Garrett) killing one of the gods of his world (The Trickster) by doing what he does best.
I've seen (I'm pretty sure) all of your videos at this point and, while I always listen, I'm not always really watching.

One of my favourite games covered by one of my favourite channels. My goat Weenop delivers yet again.
Yeah, after the enoormous amount of effort and quality that went into this video, I had to sub. You've earned it!
A fest for the eyes ears mouth skin organs bones and organs has truly been served
My boi you just earned yourself a new subscriber congrats I’ll be expecting more videos like this
Man, I'm watching this game again, and I can't believe how I really brushed off the incredible vocal performance of Asura
0:02 i love how you add itagaki's thumbs up at the intro lmao
Dude you’ve become one of my favorite channels, ur videos are so informative and funny while flowing in a way that always keeps your attention.
And above all ur music choice in this video and the ninja gaiden videos are perfect
another hapygourious enjoyer finally
May the feast begin
The Goats talking about more peak fiction

we finally have the answer to why that guy is so fucking mad
Kino.
Plain and simple, got way more emotionally invested in this than I thought I would at first mostly because this does my 2 most favourite things in the world
Balls to the wall shonen absurdity
And rich philosophical and existential catharsis
Brain alert delivers again, I kneel.
My favorite video game of all time. This game is PEAK, and I'm still yearning for a sequel.
THE CHAD OF CHADS WILL NOW REVIEW THE DAD OF DADS!
finished this in one sitting, love this channel to death
great presentation, great analysis, great humor, and great games
Best video yet! Keep up the good work and analyses
dear god u don’t understand how badly i needed new brain alert vids
Weenop back with another delicious video
Hah, lets go. Me and my brother were just talking about how hype we were for this to come out.
really sat my ass here for nearly 4 hours and for the first time. my perspective on something was enhanced. large in part. the echoing, music choice and edit choices were really f ing good. kudos my guy. editor deserves a bajillion dollars
YES!!! FINALLY, WE HAVE REACHED PEAK!
And somehow. This is canon to Street Fighter. Capcom is funny like that.
Sf has gill so it makes sense
It is????
@fjordon87 in the end of AW they show us the future of the world and Chun li is in it. It's straight up her so it's Canon. Or I say it's canon cause I'm cool

All the nier music just makes it that much easier to recognize Asura shares the same voice actor with Grimoire Weiss. I bet Asura is so angry because no one ever called him GRIMOIRE Weiss.
HOLY SHIT WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK BABY
Your videos keep getting better and better absolutely based 👍
This video is peak how do you not have 1 billion subscribers

i can't get enough of these vids! the DOA video is what got me into this channel keep up the good work y'all ❤️
Awesome review man. I like that you added extra material I wasn't aware of like the 2D animated episodes. Music choice was on point too
Great video. I was 12/13 when I played this game and it’s stuck with me all the way to 25. Best exploration of philosophy and godhood I’ve seen in a game to this day. And it’s the biggest tonal inspiration for the book series I’m writing right now
Absolutely amazing fucking video my dude. Your pacing, sense of humor, timing, and writing are both concise and explorative. This truly is, a video essay.
Gotta send this to my friends to make sure they know what im talking about for the next month

THIS GOATED CHANNEL CAME BACK THANK YOU GUYS
Not only did I not expect Brain to come back but to come back with one of my fav ps3 era games⁈！
What a legend this channel is
WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK
YESS BRAIN ALERT IS BACK 🗣️‼️ Loved the video and love the extensive background on lore and different mythologies and cultures. Maybe sometime in the future we can see some armored core or warhammer space marines or warhammer mechanicus 👀
Often we see people beg for miles deep lore and infinite content, but sometimes you just need to RRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
Man I never imagined Illidan Stormrage and Travis Touchdown being rivals but it works so well. Another Weenop banger.
HONEY, ABSOLUTE KINO DROPPED. WE WATCHING THIS NOW!
I like how asura and Argus were both blind but one by warmth and whonwas legitimate blind
This whole video perfectly describes how I see Asuras Wrath. I love this man, and I thank you for this.
I find it insane that Asura's Wrath has been out for over a decade and yet the first person I've seen take the time to analyse it as something more than hype footage, is the Ryu Hayabusa nut that self-identifies as a clown
I thought Hapygorious was the clown?
I swear, this channel appeared out of nowhere and decided to be peak.
The intro alone is how I feel hearing brain post again
I’ve been in such a withdrawal I’ve been watching the ninja garden vids over and over
The goat has returned
Hell yeah bud, looking forward to this.
Can you cover the Darksiders' series someday? A new one was teased a while ago.
PEAK FUCKING FICTION! ANOTHER W FROM THE BRAIN ALERT TEAM!!!!
the Xavier renegade angel reference was really good, is truly a hidden gem show !
You need to say words with the letter N more, you always sound funny when saying it
Nearly 4 hours. We eating good boys! 🔥
Well well well the kfc crusader finally managed to turn off his fire alarm long enough to make a new video
asura's wrath, my most favourite video game i dont want to play but love watching xD
2:59:35 when I saw this the first time I went: „were they cyborgs the whole time?!“
I suspect Weenop reviews this game first as a stress relief after going through Yaiba Ninja Gaiden Z 😆
Man, that was fucking beautiful. Bravo.
So one of my favorite TH-camrs did a video about one if my favorite games and TH-cam didn't recommend it to me for a month. Im genuinely pissed
Another awesome Video Essay!!!!!!
Always look forward to your videos!
The Noise i made when i saw this on my timeline has lined up suspiciously well with a certain natural disaster rapidly approaching.
The man fucking delivered once again. ❤
Gotta leave a 2nd comment just to say that this video is some of your best work. Hope you're proud!
cool video. just finished watching it
Weenop, you're so fucking funny. It makes me wanna subscribe without looking.
