The second I realized that they were calling Kohga, I got the biggest grin on my face because I knew I was about to experience the best character in the game yet again.
I can't wait for the inevitable frienemy relationship where he helps the player for a mutual goal to demonstrate just how actually capable this guy is. They paint him in a comedic light, but think about everything he's accomplished. He's really not a pushover.
Breath of the Wild taught me that if an NPC has an actual name, they’re legit. If they have a name that just describes what they are, you’re getting ambushed. The Researchers were no different.
I like how Kohga retains leadership over a clan of arguably far more competent and deadly assassins through sheer charisma and gusto alone. He has subordinates capable of calling down earth-shattering tornadoes, and yet the dude comes at you with a _monster truck._
I absolutely adore how for this game they turned up the ridiculousness of Kohga to 11, with how over the top his boss fights are down to even the remixed theme
He returns after a supposed death. He has a huge fanclub. He uses vehicles for attacking. I have time-related powers. You gotta be kidding me, it's DIO.
@Nicholas Thomas he was both a boss and a playable character, so are alot of other characters, great faries, monk maz koshia, revali, calamity ganon, most characters that are playable are also bosses but master kohga started as a boss aswell as the ones that I just mentioned and more.
Would explain how he survived that fall. James survived something similar once. And his final scene has to be a reference to them, not just the "blasting off" part, but the fact that it was directly caused by rockets.
i love how the yiga clan actually feel like a threat in this game, as well as kohga being an easy way for them to already know about and have bases in the depths
give kohga credit, he spent his time in the depths working the zonai tech and helping increase his and his clans capabilitys with weapon and vehcile creations
I don't know why I was worried about Kohga's so called Doomsday device. It's just an ordinary mech suit. People have made much more dangerous devices. When I saw Kohga's Rocket tip over I knew it was going to hit him. 21:31 MASTER KOHGA'S BLASTING OFF AGAIN! For someone who is over 100 years old he's surprisingly agile. He's at least 126 by my calculations. He was apparently an adult in Age of Calamity and was at least 18 in that game however Sooga's backstory shows that he's even older than that. It's unclear how old Sooga was when he joined the Yiga Clan but judging by his voice it sounds like his balls haven't dropped yet (I'm basing this off the Japanese version since he didn't sound like a kid in English). Sooga may have been around 10 years old and Kohga was still an adult apparently. If Sooga was 18 in age of Calamity, Kohga may have been around 26.
By the time I actually got to the final fight, I had a 154 dmg spear, a lv3 atk buff, and all of the sages. His fate was sealed the second he was on the ground
@@blueeyeddrago3540 well for the second one Astor could’ve died from summoning calamity Ganon and Sooga could be somewhere else like the out of bounds areas
@@acejumper1681 If you defeat the boss in Hyrule Castle before fighting Kohga the final time, then Kohga makes mention to the fact that Ganondorf has been reawakened and that his army is waiting in the depths.... So he knows about the war crimes.
@@oddassemblerI sincerely believe Kohga isn't really a bad guy deep down. He's just part of a crazy cult. In the AOC timeline it's proven that Kohga doesn't really like the evilness Ganon brings out. This Kohga hasn't experienced the actual terror that is Ganon/Ganondorf. Deep down he's basically an overgrown man child fan boi. But a funny one at that
@@Mirage475 in lore according to the book every Leader of the Yiga is named Kohga. So even if it’s not the same Kohga we’re likely to see a Kohga again just like how we always in into Impa even if it’s not the same Impa. Personally my guess is that it’s tradition to name the Master Kohga because Kohga was the one who founded the Yiga.
Also, the third and, to an extent, second fights could actually be difficult. I did not expect that from him. I remember after the first fight I was like "He's not much tougher than before."
I don't think this will be the end of Master Kohga, either. Considering he survived falling into the pit in the Yiga Clan Hideout in Breath of the Wild, there's a good chance he will be back again.
I love the fact that he survived implies that there was some sort of way down the hole in the hideout for it to break his fall.... you know what that means? THE BANANA PEELS LET HIM LAND SOFTLY! FUCK YEAH!
Perhaps the third game where you fight him on whatever planet he landed on that happens to be where you fight the next big villain he'll likely ally with?
Without a cutscene, he'll just make grunts. I've realized some characters like Purah's student and Yona got voice actors, but we don't really get to hear them speak full sentences on the plot side of things.
Let me guess. After two big open world games set in Hyrule, the third game will have a whole new world by being set on an entirely different planet... and it so happens that Kohga landed on that planet when he got launched into space. Maybe he'll knock himself into a black hole, and the fourth game will be set in an alternate dimension... and guess who will be waiting for us there?
The flowers and the motto, "you little TWERP", Kohga rocket, him blasting off... c'mon those are not coincidences, they definitely payed a tribute to Team Rocket.
got side tracked due to finding hin early on while exploring the depths one thing led yo the next and im currently fighting the 3 battle/stage with only 4 hearts and no stam upgrades… its painful
The second I realized that they were calling Kohga, I got the biggest grin on my face because I knew I was about to experience the best character in the game yet again.
Same! Just pure effing delight when this glorious doofus appeared.
The best part is that he is a side quest so we'll get to see him again
Same I don’t know why I love him so much 😂
I can't wait for the inevitable frienemy relationship where he helps the player for a mutual goal to demonstrate just how actually capable this guy is. They paint him in a comedic light, but think about everything he's accomplished. He's really not a pushover.
Same. I don't know what it is with him, but any scene with him is hilarious. The battles are fun as well.
I knew the "researchers" at the constructs were Yiga members from the dialog, but god damn did I not expect the legend to return
Breath of the Wild taught me that if an NPC has an actual name, they’re legit. If they have a name that just describes what they are, you’re getting ambushed. The Researchers were no different.
@@princesscadance197 Yeah, if they have a name they're totally legit... no exceptions at all...
I like how Kohga retains leadership over a clan of arguably far more competent and deadly assassins through sheer charisma and gusto alone.
He has subordinates capable of calling down earth-shattering tornadoes, and yet the dude comes at you with a _monster truck._
A leader who is respected will keep his throne longer than a leader who is feared.
@@kingcamelot1395sounds reasonable
Ummmm...
King Camelot, please sign in.
Nah master kohga is definitely more deadly than his assassins since you can’t actually one shot him lol
I just LOVE how the two Yiga Footsoldiers at 1:32 know that Kohga is about to start stomping, and stomp as well in perfect synchronization.
It's because they're angry.
Squeaky stomps of angy
I like how he "died" the opposite way. Instead of falling DOWN a pit, he fell UP a pit.
I noticed this too. And it is staged in a way where he could be dead, but could also easily return (again) if they wanted.
wouldn't he just be crushed into the roof of the depths pit since there's rock directly above it
@@FawfulOBrian Good point. I'm guessing if you go to that hole again there is no hole in the roof, in which case... Yeah.
Next game will have Kohga on the moon
@@baroslair9378 Maybe he'll be working for Grodus now
I absolutely adore how for this game they turned up the ridiculousness of Kohga to 11, with how over the top his boss fights are down to even the remixed theme
He returns after a supposed death.
He has a huge fanclub.
He uses vehicles for attacking.
I have time-related powers.
You gotta be kidding me, it's DIO.
Dio is also a ninja that can construct vehicles with his mind
Za Warudo!
Well, I belong to his fan club.
Parellel universe where DIO wears 'that mask' instead of stone mask...
Roada roller Da!!!!
This man will never die.
true
This guy is the sole reason why I think there will be a botw 3
If Tears of the Kingdom is to be believe, he's survived well over a century with that out of shape figure. I agree that he's basically immortal.
he's the team rocket of Zelda
*the living tombstone starts playing*
This man has been a boss fight in BotW, AoC and now TotK and has had three different completely amazing themes to go along with him
He was a player in aoc not a boss but his fights were good
@@nicholasthomas447 he’s a boss at the end of (or within) multiple levels
@Nicholas Thomas he was both a boss and a playable character, so are alot of other characters, great faries, monk maz koshia, revali, calamity ganon, most characters that are playable are also bosses but master kohga started as a boss aswell as the ones that I just mentioned and more.
@@nicholasthomas447did you even play the game?
The reason they added the depths is that Master Kohga can be in the game.
And the Yiga use vehicles like us
In BotW, he fell down a massive hole.
In this game, he flew *up* a massive hole, a la Team Rocket.
Instant karma for master kohga XD
@@aldo5663 I kind of feel bad for him. First the sheikah are exiled by the royal family and now he wants revenge
@@stitchfire15 yep, and he lost sooga
The yiga clan is blasting off again!😂
He even calls Link a twerp. Master Kohga really is the Team Rocket of LoZ!
I randomly stumbled upon the first fight and didnt suspect anything and then they yiga revealed themselves and I shouted with joy
I love how this implies he could have survived, and if they make a 4th game he could come back again.
This time he got rocketed to some sky island!
@@arkbeetle or space
@@mr.yoinkman or Skyloft
@@sentientmustache8360 or into Mario galaxy
whats the other game? (besides botw and totk)
When I fought this guy for the first time, I said to myself "Dude, you clearly don't need the autobuild."
I've never been so happy to stumble into an unexpected boss fight, unsaved and unprepared. I was giggling my ass off the whole time!
I was out of arrows, so my first fight with Kohga cost me most of my weapons.
Legends never die
Link: I thought you died!
Master Kohga: my death was... *Greatly Exaggerated.*
No mighty bananas?
Link:i beat you once and now i can't do it again
Lmao true
Calling his death greatly exaggerated seems very accurate.
@@AnAmericanMusician no Sooga?
THE ONE.
THE ONLY
THE BEST.
THE BURLY.
MASTER KOHGA RETURNS!!!!!
The stupendous chief of the Yiga Clan, Master Kohga, is going to kill you all... to death!
I love how he blamed Link for accidentally defeating himself with a weapon he summoned... again.
Legit though, I need someone to compile all of Kohga’s sounds and make a complete video of them. 1:29 and 1:34 bring me joy.
Yeah 😮
Someone did it with BotW with all his noises, so hopefully a TotK version will appear.
He is literally Team Rocket lol he even called Link a twerp
Would explain how he survived that fall. James survived something similar once. And his final scene has to be a reference to them, not just the "blasting off" part, but the fact that it was directly caused by rockets.
I love how he makes stupid car noises when he's driving his machines around lol.
i love how the yiga clan actually feel like a threat in this game, as well as kohga being an easy way for them to already know about and have bases in the depths
There’s a fun little detail where if you wear the yiga mask while in this confrontation he points out he can still recognize link with it on 😭
The Yiga Clan can see the blond hair.
I LOVE HIS NEW THEME ITS SO COOL sad that no one made an ost track where i can listen to it yet
Also banana man god smash
Yes his new theme is a absolute banger
yeah most of the songs have been great but as soon as I heard this boss theme I wanted to have the ost so bad 😭
21:30
Master Kohga: "MASTER KOHGA IS BLASTING OFF AGAIN."
🌟
give kohga credit, he spent his time in the depths working the zonai tech and helping increase his and his clans capabilitys with weapon and vehcile creations
If there’s ever a Super Mario Galaxy 3, I hope Master Kohga appears as a boss explaining that his rocket took him all the way to some random planet.
This man is an absolute trip, I loved this segment of this game, easily my favorite part so far
I knew he be back.
Goofballs are usually difficult to get rid of.
Master kohga : " has you can see i'm not dead "
I love that Link is kind of humoring Kohga. He doesn't attack him from behind when sneaking up on him.
Kohga was my first boss. I was so happy he’s still alive
I love the boat battle vs him cause of the fact Kohga and the Yigi that are helping him fight start all freaking out when Link boards their boat XD
I don't know why I was worried about Kohga's so called Doomsday device. It's just an ordinary mech suit. People have made much more dangerous devices.
When I saw Kohga's Rocket tip over I knew it was going to hit him. 21:31 MASTER KOHGA'S BLASTING OFF AGAIN!
For someone who is over 100 years old he's surprisingly agile. He's at least 126 by my calculations. He was apparently an adult in Age of Calamity and was at least 18 in that game however Sooga's backstory shows that he's even older than that.

I’m so happy he’s back!
I’m so glad they made the “infinite holes” entrances to the depths.
This was a pleasant surprise to see this guy again.
By the time I actually got to the final fight, I had a 154 dmg spear, a lv3 atk buff, and all of the sages. His fate was sealed the second he was on the ground
Well by that dialogue, I think he's still alive somewhere.
Who?
@@shums_the_rock Kohga.
I wonder where’s Sooga and Astor
@@jockson7574 Hmmm... Maybe they both either never existed or maybe one perished while the other is somewhere else.
@@blueeyeddrago3540 well for the second one Astor could’ve died from summoning calamity Ganon and Sooga could be somewhere else like the out of bounds areas
I really wish Sooga was here.
He’s just watching in the background with banana-flavored popcorn /j
He’s probably alive in the game. Maybe in dlc he and Astor will come back
@@jockson7574 I don't think Astor was a Sheikah so he's probably dead.
@@Nosretep what does him not being a sheikah have to do with his death
@@jockson7574 Sheikah can live over 100 years. Sooga might night actually be a Sheikah too.
So, does he not know Ganondorf has been freed from his time prison and is doing war crimes?
Probably not. xD
He mentions "the magnificent One" probably referring to Ganondorf. We'll have to keep playing and find out.
@@acejumper1681 If you defeat the boss in Hyrule Castle before fighting Kohga the final time, then Kohga makes mention to the fact that Ganondorf has been reawakened and that his army is waiting in the depths.... So he knows about the war crimes.

The moment TOTK trailers showed pits that goes underground, my mind instantly told me that Kohga is alive.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
lol I’m botw he dropped into the depths and survived now he’s on a trip to a great sky island
When Kohga showed up and pulled out a truck I was like oh shit are you serious 😆
I love his boss fight theme
I encountered him very early in the game and i have to confess that i actually died to Master Kohga.
2:00 ok but that theme WITH THE GUITAR?! FIRE
HE'S BACK!! THE MAN IS BACK!! HE'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS FROM BOTW AND AOC!
I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY THIS GAME!!!
fuck yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The return of Master Kohga
YES! HE’S ALIVE!
To the Yigamobile!
To the Yiga Paragilder Jet Thing!
To the Yiga Raft!
To the Yiga Bot!
*Batman 1964 music plays*
wait until this man finds out about zL targeting
Also, the third and, to an extent, second fights could actually be difficult. I did not expect that from him. I remember after the first fight I was like "He's not much tougher than before."
OH NO watching this showed me i gforgot to take a pic of him! already did his whole quest line...
Why does he need Autobuild when he can summon a truck out of thin air?
1:33 - looks like they're doing the haka dance 😂😂😂
He never dies
I've never noticed this before but goddamn, Master Kohga is freaking tall
I don't think this will be the end of Master Kohga, either. Considering he survived falling into the pit in the Yiga Clan Hideout in Breath of the Wild, there's a good chance he will be back again.
Master Kohga stomping is like so funny😂
I do want to hear his new battle theme separately.
i love how when you jump onto his vehicle while he's driving it, he freaks out like "Dude! DUDE!!"
Just not the same hearing his majestic Age of Calamity voice…
SOOGA YOU'RE LATE! I WAS ALMOST PEELED LIKE A BANANA!
TODAY
RIGHT NOW IN FACT
THE STUPENDOUS CHIEF OF THE YIGA CLAN, MASTER KOHGA!
IS GOING TO KILL YOU ALL, TO DEATH!
I love the fact that he survived implies that there was some sort of way down the hole in the hideout for it to break his fall.... you know what that means? THE BANANA PEELS LET HIM LAND SOFTLY! FUCK YEAH!
Oh I love Master Kohga. He's so funny. He's definitely been a funny distraction, that's for sure.
The music is so good on this fight!
I got rammed by Kohga hard
And now I'm into him
All because of his first fight with a spiked car that somehow actually rammed me
The first thing I did once getting the glider was go to the great plateau, I randomly came across this and it made my day
Master longs be like when link uses his rocket shield: “Where did he g- AHHHH PAIN!”
When will he become a good guy and join us like age of calamity
DLC if that ever releases?

Legendary moment, just find it a shame the AoC voice actor didn't voice his lines... T~T
Without a cutscene, he'll just make grunts. I've realized some characters like Purah's student and Yona got voice actors, but we don't really get to hear them speak full sentences on the plot side of things.
I went into this boss fight without knowing it was even gonna happen I didn’t even save or prepare😔

Link: You’re kidding me. I thought I killed this clown back at his hideout!
Kohga will MAKE NOTE if you're wearing the Yiga uniform!
Can we talk about all the cute little sound and voice actor noises that go along with both Kohga and the Yiga?
It’s adorable.
The Yiga Clan is basically the Team Rocket of Zelda games
The flowers and the motto, "you little TWERP", Kohga rocket, him blasting off... c'mon those are not coincidences, they definitely payed a tribute to Team Rocket.
The best villain in Zelda history
Am I the only one who immediately thought "Team Rocket blasting off again" when Master Kohga blasted off on that rocket?
The other two yiga assassins really made the will Smith on the red carpet pose. 😂😂
I just started my game and happened to see this im not ready!!!
I guess that means Link is going into space next
*_I knew it! I knew he's come back to us!_*
Oh my god he's actually just Eggman.
These boss fights are so funny and the music is amazing
Sooga we miss you :'(
They could have written him into the game, but I guess because AOC was made by a different team, the devs ignored him in the main games.
You're too late, Link! I am now forklift certified!
Stereotypical Japanese characters made by Japanese people are the best fictional characters in existence
21:30 "Looks like Team Yiga's blasting off agaaaain!" *ding*
Can't believe they actually did that, lol.
Is it wrong that I like Master Kohga and Im reminded of Team Rocket when he and the Yiga clan show up?
And he's blasting off again 😂 omg I hate to love him but geeze he makes me laugh
Master kohga be like: ima tell you where you need to go so dont follow me.
got side tracked due to finding hin early on while exploring the depths one thing led yo the next and im currently fighting the 3 battle/stage with only 4 hearts and no stam upgrades… its painful
I think Master Kohga could be Dr. Eggman's Nintendo Counterpart.
I’m glad I saw this video before my last fight with him, I have to take a picture!
You can't buy the picture from Robbie?
