Lyrics: Alex Beckham
Mix: Marc Gardner
Count bleck : have a sad history behind the destruction. Dimentio : is just a psychopath.
But a fun psychopath with a God complex
With a family of psychopaths.
That’s basically the point. Count Bleck may seem like a heartless and destructive psychopath but deep down in that monster is a man who held love dearly but that love was taken from him, driving him insane. Dimentio is basically the opposite of Bleck as unlike the count, Dimentio doesn’t love anyone but himself and wants to destroy the multiverse and create a new one in his image. I see Dimentio as what Bleck would’ve become if he let the darkness (Dark Prognosticus) completely consume him (there are hints that he does regret what he is doing during his scenes after the chapters)
@@mikephelps9238 Count Bleck is driven by grief and loss while dimentio is empowered by the idea of death and a callous disregard for life, although it could be argued that dimentio is also empowered by grief because from the context we can assume him the son of the creator of pixels, therefore, the pixel queen in his sister and his mother died in an accident that he somehow survived. Interesting stuff tbh.
@@mikephelps9238 it is arguable which would be better: Bleck just wants to fulfill the prophecy and destroy everything, while Dimentio wants to take advantage and remake the multiverse from the remains, seeking to create perfect worlds out of them. Given the themes of the game, one is surrendering to fate while the other is trying to work around fate’s loopholes and change it entirely. But then again, we don’t have a lot of backstory for Dimentio or what exactly is a perfect world in his eyes.
everyone else: *sad, melancholic, tone singing about the inevitable doom of all, even breaking down crying at the end*
dimentio: *yo lets gooooo! destruction is on the RISE, BABY!*
@Aro lol

The line "Now destruction's on the rise" from all of the different perspectives is amazing.
-Bleck sees it as a fact. He's just stating that the end of the world is coming.
-O'Chunks and Mimi are only going along with the plan because of the Count, but in reality they're terrified.
-Nastasia is only in it for Count Bleck's sake, and despite her doubts, continues to support him.
-Dimentio is having the time of his life right now. He's all in for the end of all worlds.
So he recreate to his image and rule it

two things:
1) I love how throughout this whole thing the only one who has the biggest grin is Dimentio-a good way to show that he's the only one having fun in this plan
2) when Count Bleck goes from the evil laughing to a broken soft sob...*I felt that*
Also, did you notice there's a change in the tone of his voice while it shows him after being defeated?
I felt it too. He is a really sympathetic villain. Wouldn't you agree?
@@Orwin_Crossheart Right
Yea, and the thing with the dimentio is because his plan will overcome bleck’s plan
3:44 poor bleck
This guy’s singing about his goals to spread despair and destroy the multiverse…and I want to hug him.
Same tho...
Does he have any body though? He has a head and some fancy clothes, but other than that....
Despair you say?
Junko Enoshima would like him
Error Sans:allow to intruduce myself.
'TEAR A HOLE IN THE FABRIC OF REALITY'S DESIGN! CAST ASIDE WHAT WILL NEVER BE MINE! NEVER BE MINE! FAR BETTER STILL TO BE EMPTY INSIDE!"
Everything he says in his song is sadness. He legit is a person who believes he literally lost the sole reason to live. And because of that he sees no point in going on anymore. He wants to erase everything in the multiverse because he has nothing to gain nor lose in his mind anymore. The fact that his maniacal laughter does a full turn into miserable crying shows how much he's actually suffering.
Now im just imagining Nastasia saying: "Hey count, I just checked your vibes, and I gotta inform you, your vibes are atrocious. Sorry."
God DAMMIT, now I can't stop laughing-
Dimentio: "Vibe check!"
@@anexplosion5436 The last thing Luigi heard before being knocked unconscious by Dimento.
Feels more like a thing dimentio would say, but yeah.
@@maxdunn4756 I mean, isn't that basically what Dimentio tried to _do_ at the end after you beat Count Bleck? Nastasia stops him, sure, but it was still an attempt.
I forget sometimes how tragic Count Bleck is as a character.
@@ChaosSonic6683 you are dimentio so... shut up
Me too
I will only say, that I know why "It's far better still to be empty inside." Emptiness is great defence against lies, losses and breaking hope. Because who we are to dare to dream? What can hopes, dreams and feelings bring to us. Only pain and despair.
ParadoXal PL *makoto naegi senses a disturbance*
Best tragic villain
Dimentio: Best traitor villain
I swear, every time Count Bleck says “Never with me!”, my heart breaks even more.
Grandom Rye
My heart practically shattered at “far better still to be empty inside”...
Also that laugh at the end that sounded like it turned into a little bit of crying
:( poor bleck
@@Hadaron Mine was "Never be mine!"
If I’m truly honest, I feel for him not only because of his sad story, but because I know what a broken heart 💔 feels like, tape may put stuff back together (fixing your mental health or trying to forget) but it’s not like stitches (to completely forget) it will always remain and hurt....you learn to live with it....if your lucky, which I think I’m lucky, my heart is still broken but....my tape is duct so I think I’m safe....sorry bleck...I can’t give you my duct tape
Beware the man with a broken heart.
Beware the man who speaks in hands. Oops wrong game
Beware a man with nothing to lose.
Beware the man of fallen love.
The man who lost his light
The man of which darkness speaks.
For he’s fallen to the blight.
beware the man who has nothing to lose but everything to gain
Beware the anger of a gentle man.
The Dark Prognosticus never predicted a song that could be this good, Bleck would gladly not destroy the world to keep this song intact
I expected a joke.
And just like that the tradition continues
n
You’re in every undertale video Istgggggg
Man, I see you everywhere!
this song perfectly captures the character of count bleck. he wants to destroy the world not just because, even if he puts on a façade of that, but because his love was taken from him. bleck wasn't always evil, and his desires to destroy all is because he can never be with the one he truly loves. better to burn it all than to love again. and his evil laugh turning to crying at the end is just so approperate, because he still loves her. he hasn't gotten over his lost love, and he just wants the pain to end.
I'm. Not crying your crying
Same
He’s really just trying to commit suicide. The reason he’s trying to erase eternity is Not because he’s omnicidal its because he’s in so much anguish that he wants to kill his soul too. He’s rather not exist in any form than to be alone for eternity.
@@zacharykenniston748 exactly!
@@zacharykenniston748 and not only that, he possibly wanted to end the entire universe because he didn’t want anyone else feeling the same pain he feels inside.
Cool detail I noticed that during the "Now destruction's on the rise!" parts where the minions are echoing it back, in both illustrations Dimentio is the only one smiling. Including the one with the silhouettes of their faces. (Mimi and O'Chunks almost look concerned??)
Goes to show that Dimentio is the only one of the four that truly wants the end of the world to happen.
Or at least, he’s the only one aware of the true ramifications of this scheme....and revels in it.
"I thought Bleck wanted to destroy the worlds so they could be remade, but instead he intends to destroy them and leave them in ruin!"
@@AverageEldritchEntity well frowning is pretty much her default expression so its hard to tell if she's supposed to convey the same thing lmao
Natasha’s expression is that of a devout loyalist. No emotion, only Blek’s vision. Mimi is fearful of what can happen. O’chunks has an expression of grim determination mixed with fear on his face, and Dimentio is reveling in the thoughts of ending the universe. On his terms.
A similar detail about the game itself is that when (SPOILERS but I guess you're on a video about the end of the game but whatever this is the game I want to spoil the 2nd least ever) O' Chunks and Mimi end up taking Bowser and Peach with them, they insist that the heroes should move forward instead, and it's only fair because they won the fight. The only thing that ends up stopping them is the Castle falling apart. Dimentio, on the other hand, decides to be a sore loser and even though nothing goes wrong, he kills luigi of his own desire. Or at least, he pretends to.
This might be a small detail, but I love Tom's portrayal of Count Bleck's deranged cackle. Especially at the end where it trails off into a painful sobbing... Fantastic job on his part, bravo
Tom played him as a broken man with nothing left to loose. There is no better way to take Count Blecks charecter for that is what he is, an excellent performance.
It shows that he may seem evil, but he’s actually a man with a broken heart.
You should gone for the head, yo.
Perfectly balanced is all things should be yo....
As the song progresses he is shifting to a more and more depressed and sorrowful voice he isn’t evil he just lost faith in the world
The moment the minions all sing together are the moments where Mario last saw the those characters when going through the castle. O-Chunks and Bowser were holding the ceiling up from crushing everyone inside. Peach is holding Mimi from falling off down into a hole when the floor opened up. Dimentio was left to battle Luigi (but we all know what happens later.) Nastasha was only watching it all happen. Nice touch MOTI.
Credit goes to Juno Songs as well, since he made the art (Sorry if that sounded obnoxious I just really like everyone and hope credit is given to all of them)
I didn't knowthis that until now
White Darkness r/boneappleteeth
@AleNoConstancy Hmm... how exactly is that relevant to the conversation beyond "this is a comment about Super Paper Mario"?
@Chris Creates Online Um, buddy? It’s boneappletea. Not boneappleteeth.
Man, the irony.
Count Bleck is the literal enbodyment of this sentence that we have in an Italian movie, in which they say: "No bad is as bad as a good guy gone bad".
I really really love your song, guys. Both the lyrics and the portrayal.
The death of innocence is a small but tragic death, to see it die so thoroughly that a person becomes it’s opposite is a tragedy rarely seen but always dreaded. It’s reminds me of a line from a Pokémon game of all things when talking about the Villain N. “What has more beauty and terror than innocence?” His former caretakers explain that he’s gone through with such a terrible plan because he’s innocent he believes too purely in his plan to save Pokémon that he disregards all else
“You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”-Harvey Dent/Two-Face, The Dark Knight
To put it shortly in my way, he's the embodiment of grief and the sheer self-destruction of the heart
This is really accurate to bleck's character, and his story is even sadder with his song
Yep
Fact
True 😢
What happened to his wife?

I mean Dimentio's already had his two songs, so he probably won't be getting any songs this month.
@@BillZypher ya, plus he isn't exactly loyal to Count Bleck, sooo
@@alolanexeggutor1010 which means there is a chance for a Nastasia song. Let's be honest other than Mr. L she's the best minion. That's just my opinion.
"Count Bleck and his loyal minions and also dimentio is there too"
Laughs in betrayal
3:42 the fact he laughs before he cries is so sad
I like the lyrics in the text boxes. I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner.
Also, Tom has now played two men in suits with no legs, floaty arms, and a connection to the void.
You seem to be pulling out all the stops for this.
I guess it can't be aVOIDed with me! Thanks for watching the video! :)
What if he actually is a man in a suit, with no legs, floaty arms and has a connection to the void?
Who's the second tho? It can't be Dimentio, because he DOES have legs
(Edit: Wait nvm. it's Gaster, I see it now)

@Jane PurpleLight I like the song
By all accounts, not very good...
So depressed he is attempting universal suicide.
Haha has broken heart so pog
Count Bleck. Such a good “villain.”
Why is Villain in ""
@@Nuuk_Nuke_Nook ummm he is he is just a sympathetic Villain that eventually did the right thing but he was still the big bad in the game and still tried to kill people which makes him a villain.
@@Nuuk_Nuke_Nook also the Villain I know dementio ended up being the big bad but it doesn't stop the count from being a Villain too
Ah ha ha. How true.
I mean, is he really more redeemable than Dimentio? He tried to destroy all universes just because his girlfriend died. I mean that’s rough, but come on
HE STARTS CRYING AT THE END OH MY GOD NOW I'M GONNA CRY THIS SONG IS SO GOOD
Crying in ttue pain
Can we just acknowledge and appreciate how high pitched Mimi’s voice sang in the second part? It is so well done! I love it!
THANK YOU, SOMEONE ELSE AGREES
It was awesome
I don’t think that’s Mimi.
@@ThaCataBoi It was, Nastasia has a deeper voice
That’s not Mimi
Mimi was not taken from him he means his wife

So, anyone else a huge fan of Super Paper Mario? Seriously the story to this game was amazing!
Now I want a Super Paper Mario musical after listening to this.
This was my first paper Mario game and not to be a hater or anything, the other paper Mario games was not good, compared to this
I played this game a couple years after it came out. I am 15 years old, meaning I played this when a was about six or seven, and it was one of the first games I ever played. I fell in love with this game and got it and played it every time I could rent a game. Needless to say, this game is one of my favorite games and one of my favorite stories (Heck, maybe even my favorite story) of all time. It's got action, It's got humor, It's got heart touching and disturbing moments and It has HIGH steaks for the heroes, for if they fail the MULTIVERSE ends. Not only that, but this game has the best line up of villains in ANY video game I've played. Sure, there are problems with the game, but I think the game shines through most of them.
Also, I was hoping for a Super Paper Mario musical after MOTI finished their other musical (don't know how to spell it, so I'm not even going to try). I am still happy with getting SPM Bytes though! Hopefully, MOTI will make an SPM musical someday.
I really love the concept of a platformer RPG. The story was also top-notch, with plenty of splendid characters, including my favorite jester. My main complaint is that the game is far too easy, particularly the bosses (which go down very quickly, cause very little damage, and have very few attacks). I am in full support of any kind of remake, though, with a new difficulty mode to fix those.
I love the game, but it had wind waker syndrome- very different from what people were expecting and hyped for, but once the huge initial backlash calmed down people started realizing it was great. I was upset as well at the time, as this didn't scratch the itch I bought it to scratch. I came back to beat it when in a platform mood and I adored it.
Count Bleck is quite possibly the most tragic and sympathetic Mario villain in the franchise.
Blumiere and Timpani (Tippi) were from opposing tribes. They fell in love and wanted to marry but it was considered taboo. His father was the chief of the Tribe of Darkness and banished Timpani. Forcing her to wander dimensions until the day she dies. Blumiere steals the Dark Prognosticus and becomes Count Bleck. And destroys his own dimension.
I’d argue that he is a up there with dimentio in terms of villiany . Hear me our because yes I know his backstory.
So imagine you see some weird anomoly im the sky that look’s pretty creepy. You’re told that that thing is going to grow bigger in the sky and that once it covers the sky your dimension is going to be destroyed. Assuming that these dimensions are at least 13 (although I’d argue way more) this event could effect quadrillions at least. So you’re told that everyone you know is going to die. Oh yeah and so is the underworld thats gone too so no afterlife meaning endless sleep. One of the scariest thoughts imaginable. It’s really beyond human comprehension. And this is going to happen to your friends your family everyone you know and don’t know… and even beyond that scope. You learn that theres an actual person behind this and their reason?
oH No i lOsT mY giRlfrieNd wHat wiLL I dO?! I don’t care how mych that hurt him the sheer scale of his villanu the dread quadrillions of people would have it makes his “motive” basically be zero. I get what its up against isn’t infinite technically but its close. And besides we have no clue how many dimensions there are in this game so as far as we know it literally is infinite and he has NO motivation basically. Which is why he isn’t sympathetic in the slightest
@@krisspychissp don’t forget how he killed off the tribe of darkness which is an entire species just because of him losing his gf too
Bro’s gf dies so he attempts to destroy reality and he finds out his gf ISN’T dead so he tries to fix everything
Everyone I just wanted to say the I love the plot twist in the end
In the japanese version, blumiere's father Is the tribe leader, and It's also implied that he hurt Timpani when telling her to stay away
I love how you can tell Bleck isn't evil, he's just heartbroken and wants no one to feel like him. That's why I love this game and boss
I feel this game needs more than a musical bytes, it has a story that can’t be told through just 6 videos
But its too long to be a musical
I might be wrong, but I think Alex said in a direct that they might make musicals from musical bytes if they get enough views, just like how lyrics videos with enough views lead to musical bytes for that series.
@@Dinoman972 someone get a hacker who can add view bots and increade the view amount
Well, technically it’s 7
Yes it can
The story is ridiculously simple
I wanna make it really clear here. I fucking adore this. Super Paper Mario has always been my favourite Mario game hands down, and Tom absolutely flawlessly nails the Count's voice in literally every respect. Something I think people often fail to recognise, is not only he is doing some impressive singing, but he's also singing *in character*, which is INFINITELY harder.
Kudos to y'all on this channel for creating yet another fucking phenomenal video for me to re-watch hundreds of times.
Ciao!~
Never with, Never to be
Never again the light you see,
Wow, that song even describes my backstory
Agreed.
Tom absolutely blowing the first song of the package out of the water. He manages to sing with such emotion, incredible stuff.
Thank you! I'm sure the rest of the songs are gonna be a blast as well. :D
He legit sounds like he came off of Broadway and I adore it so much. So much emotions and high quality of voice.
@@empressofkingfishers8656 Did he? I mean, Entry Number 17 was one of the greatest things I've ever heard in my life. I can only think of a couple of lyric videos that come close to matching the sheer amount of emotion in his voice towards the end.
@@carnage0685 I didn't say he came from Broadway, I'm saying he sounds like he did
@@empressofkingfishers8656 I know, but he might as well have, lol. I've never heard someone sing that well before.
Absolutely amazing.. including the wedding.. Timpanis and Blumieres memory part.. and the story of Bleck inside the lyrics.. absolutely wonderful. I cannot wait to see the rest of this musical byte series!!!
Brings such a emotional hit D: Blumiere was the first villian who I actually felt sympathy for.
And it's an amazing birthday present for me

BRUH-
Adam Rhodes Goddammit
Your joke is in thin paper at the moment.
I live for puns like these
This sounds so freakin’ good; Tom makes for a fantastic Bleck, you can truly hear how broken the Count is as the song progresses, going from the Card Carrying Villain he wants to be seen as to the bitter and heartbroken man he truly is. Incredibly powerful, and a great tone setter for what’s to come.
I think my main question is whether or not Nastasia and Mr. L will be getting their own songs. Nastasia never really had a theme of her own, so I wonder what you’d do if she does indeed get a solo track. And hearing Mr. L’s themes (like, any of them XD) with lyrics has been a dream of mine for a long time, and I’d love to hear what Juno could bring to the role ^_^
THANK BLEH HEH HEH

Count Blek: man wanting to wipe reality, not caring if he goes with it, because his wife died, leaving him by himself
Well Count Bleck actually searched for his wife before he thought that she died, and even in the end of the game when they are reunited they have to cut their games short, in order to save reality. A truly bittersweet but loving and caring relationship.
@@goldengreenie9672 thanks for actually saying something about it instead of liking
Evan York no worries!
His wife isn't actually his wife.
Timpani was his love of his life, but they never married because it was kinda forbidden.
And she never died.
Count Blecks Father doomed her to travel between realitys and dimensions.
She was actually alive but Merlon had to turn her into a Pixl, so she wouldn't collapse because of exhaustion.
Dark Samus has nothing to do with Ridley, and not that much with Samus.
She just looks like Samus's suit and was born from her DNA, but the similarities end here
When I read in the description that the songs will be based around count bleck and his loyal minions I thought "YAY WE CAN GET DIMENTIO, CHARMING MAGICIAN"

No, that's why it'd be *WOKE.*
One detail I love about this song, besides the ones everyone's already said is how this song basically puts three songs from super paper Mario together and how fluent the lyrics are. The first part of the song being "birth of the chaos heart" where we are introduced to him and his plan to erase all worlds, the second part is "mixed memory" which shows us his past accompany by a duet with bleck or Blumiere as he was called back then and Timpani sing about their love, the final part which the song is named after is "champion of destruction" where we see count Bleck now who no longer cares for the worlds after his love was taken from him and now accepts his new destiny of being the champion of destruction with his minions, O'chunks determined to serve but fearful of the impending doom, Mimi who fears the end of the world, Nastasia who loves him but knows she can't replace his true love and his happy to serve him to her dying breath, and Dimentio who rejoices for the end of the world while setting his own plans in motion. This song really captures the story of a broken man who had the love of his life taken away from him, never to be found even in the afterlife, cast aside his feelings to love and devoted his life to a fate that tells him he will bring an end to all worlds, all while he weeps in silence for his love,Timpani.
Okay but that destructions on the rise is so good I need an hour long version. I love the super paper Mario bits coming out of here, that game doesn't get enough attention.
Christ you can feel the pain in every word tom sings, increasingly as the song goes on. Im impressed by his preformance here for sure.
Ah ha ha... I find Bleck thinking he's in control quite entertaining.
I find the fact that you think you’re even remotely liked is also entertaining.
Ah ha ha... I can understand your jealousy. But don't be! One time you'll bloom too, like a moonglow after a pink sunset...
I wish to I could be your servant Dimentio
My boy dimentio!
Casually whistles as I put in Majoras Mask
I kinda miss how the characters they played appeared at the end of the video to do the outro and tell people to subscribe and what not...
But on the topic of this video, you captured Count Bleck perfectly, and having Dimentio sing again, even if for a single line, was definitely a treat.
Well who wouldn't want to hear more of Count Bleck's most loyal minion?
Same to all of this.
@@kraymerman yeah... loyal...
as loyal as a cat!
(I tried)
Wow... You can hear Bleck's inner turmoil in a lot of these lyrics, and at the end the pain in his heart comes through so well. My own heart hurts for him..
This is my favorite PM game ever, and you've made it even better.
Says Count Bleck!
Now destruction on the rise
I felt it in my soul when Blumiere's laughter faded into sobs
Ok, time to confess I've never played Super Paper Mario so everything will be a surprise for me.
Goddamn, you've gone all out for this one!
It's been a while since we heard Tom as the leading singer, hasn't it? You sound amazing, mate! The powerful commanding voice breaks as the song goes on, showing Bleck's lost love, then rises every time when "Destruction's on the rise!". Even the last evil laugh breaks into sadness, it's wonderful. Mad props!
I'm guessing the other characters are Bleck's evil entourage and each of them sounds amazing with the few lines they had. The only one I'm familiar with is fan-favorite Dimentio. Good job you all!
Always good to hear Uprising's soft voice, brings calm to my heart before the evil storm comes.
Art, lyrics and mixing are great as always. The lyrics that appear as the speech bubble of the game are a great touch!
You've set the bar really high for this package! Hope to see you go even further beyond!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm just gonna have this song on loop for the next hours.
Well in that case you are in for a ride. I have played and seen a lp of the game more times than I can count. It is not as good as the the thousand year door but its still good

Not even a minute in and I know that I’m gonna be looping this quite a bit
Count Bleck is one of my favorite villains in the Mario universe. Thx for doing this!
This game is the only game to give motivation/personality to a Mario villain
3:23 I just noticed that Count Bleck shakes his head as the lyrics say "never".
That was a beautiful beginning to the bytes package!
GOOD LORD, THIS IS SO GOOD! AND THIS IS THE *FIRST* SONG FOR THIS SERIES!
All the characters' voices are damn perfect, and the lyrics and emotions really illustrate the pain and anguish Count Bleck's enduring and now inflicting on the universes. God, when he announces to the worlds to "hold tight to all that you love, your family and friends", the quiet moments with Blumiere and Timpani, when his laugh breaks down into sobbing at the end... A+ stuff per the norm Alex.
Count Bleck's one of my favorite characters in this whole franchise, and you really did him justice with this. So excited for the rest of the series!
1:57 I love O’Chunks, Dimentio, and Mimi+Nastasia singing in response to him. So good.
My minions sound cool don't they?
I don't usually comment on anything- but I just have to tell this. SPM was my childhood in many ways.
And the moment I heard Timpani sing in this little musical...I instantly started crying. I can't even explain it. It just took over me, I suppose.
Great voice work overall, for everyone. But thank you all so much for this. It's incredible.
I really hope Nastasia gets a song, maybe a one about the post-game where she's lamenting about the Count or something.
Aww omg that would be so sad. It was sad listening to her talk about Bleck post game let alone a whole song. That's such a good idea.
Does Nastasia have a theme tho? I don't recall one.
Calling it now, Proof of Existence
It's Castle Bleck
She has one now, and I think the project is completed! Check it out of you haven’t, because it really is fantastic!
that ending laugh/cry is so depressingly good.
I just noticed that Count Bleck’s mouth kinda looks like the chest demon’s mouths from the Thousand Year Door.
And don't forget that the magic circle that's sometimes found under his cape is the same that appears in front of the Thousand-Year Door when Mario holds up a Crystal Star.
The first 3 Paper Mario games have recurring design elements like that. Shame Sticker Star rebooted everything to be literally just the main series designs with no stylistic liberties like the first 3 games did even with existing stuff (thankfully at least Mario, Peach and Bowser kept their PM designs, they were too iconic to change)
Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
It also looks like the door guys in the underwhere

My favorite part: "Now destruction's on the riiiiiiiiiise~!" It just sounds so... AWESOME, for lack of a better word! Those harmonies, and everyone's individual voices as well. Kinda makes me sad that O'Chunks' song was really more talking than singing because he sounds just as lovely as everyone else here. Maybe I'll check out Candourlight's channel at some point, see if he's got any other songs. :)
You took the words out of my mouth.
Bleck's theme(s) are a large part of what made him my favorite character in this game, and possibly any mario game. He's just an interesting villain and you did credit to both him and the theme with this.
Getting a bit of a Phantom of the Opera vibe from the song as well. Good stuff.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate O'Chunks' accent
candour is so good at doing that accent like deadass how does he do that so well
RAININ' ON YA LIKE A-
Love that you’re doing more of super paper Mario
I only knew dimentio but i never knew that the count was so tragic
Congratulations. You've made me want to play through super paper mario for the 47th time.
Now destructions on the riiiiiiise!
words cannot describe how much i love the way bleck says that.
Undertale fans: so Count Bleck is XGaster?
SPM fans: not everything Moti does is Undertale. We exist too.
Underverse fans: Time to OVERWRITE that comment.
@@mimik173 The comment is protected by a bottle of limited edition ketchup.
bruh literally who said Bleck was Gaster.
@@dasaniwaterbottle71 I know it's the same person.
Come on we all know that bleck and black hat are the same person
I just noticed this, and it's probably just a coincidence, but when Bleck's monocle breaks, the cracks from a peace sign.
The little wheel thing, you know.
That fits perfectly with Bleck's character: Awesome Job!
The fact that you used the game’s dialogue as lyrics makes this song amazing.
If I had a nickel for every time a Nintendo RPG had a villain whose motive was "A world that can take the woman I love away from me doesn't deserve to exist!", I'd have two nickels.
Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.
What was the other one?
@@ezrasolis4195 I wouldn't want to spoil one of their greatest stories.
@@NotMyRealName6 I see, well then how about the game of this story?
The Laugh of the Count in the end shows me how much broken this man is...
If I was him I would just doomed my father for eternity because he disconnected me and my love and would be satisfied with it.
But he wanted more than that...
He wanted to kill Infinity innocent lifes.
He didn't only lost his happiness...
He lost everything good...
Even his sense of Justice
Thats deep
I like how the emotion runs so high when Bleck is singing the "Never Be Mine" verse for the second time that it becomes more yelling than singing
Oh my god I LOVE SPM the voice done for Count Bleck was absolutely perfect and fit so well! Timpani’s made me cry, genuinely it was so beautiful. You guys....you’re killing me. The minions genuinely gave me shivers! They fit so scarily well. Keep it up!
Whoa! Amazing!
At 2:31 when I saw bleck's cronies names I was like "wait what?"
And then 3:02 happened and I was like "OHMIGOSH!"
Whoops seems like I didn't hear 2:00 yet
My bad
all of us make mistakes pal.
Oh my gosh, this was so good that I started to cry. I could feel all of the emotions and it was beautiful!! Great job you guys!!!
0:35 The tune of this part sounds familiar...
"We perform, we rewrite the norm, and sing a song of nothing.
From the void, the circus horns, proclaim the power rushing."
Zachary Habart dimentio True Plan is starting to show
And here I thought that Count Bleck didn't have any good themes. How foolish of me. Makes me wish we got to see a cover of their group's interlude theme, cause _that_ song is a banger.
0:35 - 0:55 I love how this part is in tempo with "The Ultimate Show". Shows just where this plan is heading from the start.
"If this is what love can bring, wipe the tears from your eyes! Now only blackness sings! Now destruction's on the rise!" That is an amazing way to communicate Blumiere's transformation into Bleck.
"Hold tight to all that you love, before they lose their shine" Isn't a threat. It's a warning.
That's insane! I had Super Paper Mario and Count Bleck's amazing backstory in mind all morning long, and now this comes out! Truly, you're doing goodness above's work! 💙
Do you know what the difference is between a child and a villain? A child has one bad day and all they’ll do is cry about it. A villain has one bad day and everyone will pay for it.
true
I love how this starts out with Count Bleck being the intimidating and serious villain, but slowly shifts into a deeper part of him. The part that was never truly evil, but misguided and heartbroken. Then it builds into his final decision to erase all of reality as he feels without the one he loved, there's no point in anything going on any longer. I love how you guys always captivate the true emotion of these games
"Paper Mario Musical Bits: 1 video"
*The possibility of another The Ultimate Show with lyrics excites me*
TBH I just want more Dimentio
Huh.
Well.
Hmm.
@@LemonSmug yeah...
That is so amazing, and words cannot express how excited I am for the rest of the Super Paper Mario Musical Bytes. I was just re-listening to Dimentio's songs last night out of excitement and I'm so glad the time is here now.
For some reason, this song makes me emotional. Maybe because i can relate to it in some way. And when something makes you emotional - that means it is well done.
By "relate" do you mean that you too almost destroid all realities just to be stopped by a fat italian plumber?
@@justcallmeleonardo exactly
@@NeoKesha Dude, me too. Up top ✋
*oh yeah a plumber stopped me*
@@demi172 Cool story dude. But I'm still hanging ✋
Okay, I definitely need even more singing Count Bleck now. This is gonna be a GOOD month.
EDIT: I'm hearing shades of Gaster in this. I mean, obviously they're sung by the same person but it fits Bleck SO WELL!
Can I just take a moment to say that Tom has an absolutely incredible voice!!! I practically live for the songs he solos in! And he just fits Count Bleck so well… it’s breathtaking, honestly. Keep up the awesome work, Tom!!!!
Everyone else: afraid of their coming deaths
Dimentio: WOOOO, YEAH baby that's what I've been waiting for, that's what it's all about, wooo!
we're ripping a hole in the fabric of reality's design with this one 🔥🔥🔥
They say to be loved is to truly be blessed🔥🔥🔥
Your voice acting for this is beautiful. It sounds so... _genuine._ 2:49 is a beautiful example of this. It blends fury and sorrow together in such a way that you start to feel like Count Bleck.
Thank you!
I'm honestly glad at least some people appreciate this game
OMG Yes!!!!!!!
Like Alucard from Castlevania Netflix show said: "This is just the biggest suicidal note in history."
Count Bleck is by far the most depressing Mario villain of all time...
I freaking LOVE this game!!
1:43 i love how the first part was gently singing and the second one the real pain
freaking jumped onto this notification
thank you for this
"If this is what love can bring, wipe the tears from your eyes!" Love that part.
Small thing I noticed; when Bleck is defeated, his monocle is cracked in the shape of a peace sign.
3:01 my favorite part... and probably many other people's favorite part as well.
