Hello Death Knight. You're not very good at this being the scary antagonist thing. All you do you flee and drop that seal I'm never going to use. Black Knight you are not.
Tbh its not just 3H, its been absurdly annoying in Fates and somewhat Echoes aswell - Awakening feels like they started it there but didnt commit too much into the "haha not this time young man" and mostly kept people alive for the missions shortly before endgame only. It is absurdly annoying tho.

Hubert doesn't pick fights he can't retreat from. I mean I was kinda ok with him retreating since he is Edelgard's right hand man but for a game that punches you in the gut if you kill any other student it doesn't really do that with Hubert, probably just cause he's not recruitable and so is basically Iago 2.0 in terms of gameplay albeit much better written.
Trish Doyle Edelgard says in the map that the people of Brigid need her but then again she can die on Hubert's map, although is out of the way a bit and I'm not sure if she rushes you later on in the map since I killed her early. If she does do that then it's kinda stupid that she was even brought back besides being a challenge.
Trish Doyle Yeah I'm in agreement, honestly I wouldn't have minded if you killed Hubert in Dimitri's paralogue he'd stay dead and be replaced by a slightly easier boss, things like that would be cool to have implemented. Although I know it's a story based game so it wouldn't have the same impact so really I don't know what else they could've done.
that Julius theme at the end got me good. Reminded me of a Certain character in FE4 who you literally fight three times, but gets teleported away by Julius, TWICE :)

This made me remember a dream I had. In my dream, I saw a cutscene in Three Houses where Hubert strangled one of my units to death (I think it was Sylvain). I don't know how I made up a game cutscene in a dream, but I did. I think it was on the Blue Lions route, because I think Dimitri was there, and he and a few others reacted to his death.
it's a dream, so hopefully you were able to actually finish Hubert off also Hubert might've been strangling Sylvain because he looks like Ferdinand von Aegir, legitimate heir of House Aegir, the Empire's foremost house
secret after credits scene where sylvain, after finally coming to terms with his trauma and bitterness towards society, is abruptly strangeled to death by a not actually dead hubert in front of his horrified wife and/or felix
Committing to shit means less characters they can put in heroes as advertisement, and also demands less *haha sexy handsome pretty* characters they can use to sell the game
Should have done that thing where Hubert leaves a note after defeating him s as ms it says, “Ah, I’ve been defeated. But I cannot expire here, I must retreat with haste.”
Byleth: How many times are you gonna run? We've defeated you seventeen different times! Hubert: ... I feel like it's going to be at least eighteen. *Awkward silence* Byleth: The caucasity of this bitch...
Abyme, Engage Chapter 3 Boss: "Damn, I've been defeated, but I can't fall here. I must make my retreat." The Player on the Chapter 18 Boss: "Wait, your face and name look familiar. Who are you again?"
The truth is characters only die when they’re ready to play dead and yell out loud with the most depressing monologue possible. Hubert doesn’t think that suits him so instead of tapping out for good, he runs away hesitantly.

Nothing will ever outlive the maximum number of times you can defeat Hubert in Three Houses only for him to retreat. My theory is that he retreats at the end of the game as well, but just says that he was dying to get you to stop hurting him.

This made me remember a dream I had. In my dream, I saw a cutscene in Three Houses where Hubert strangled one of my units to death (I think it was Sylvain). I don't know how I made up a game cutscene in a dream, but I did. I think it was on the Blue Lions route, because I think Dimitri was there, and he and a few others reacted to his death.
Did you then get the chance to kill the bastard in your dream, only for him to retreat?
it's a dream, so hopefully you were able to actually finish Hubert off
also Hubert might've been strangling Sylvain because he looks like Ferdinand von Aegir, legitimate heir of House Aegir, the Empire's foremost house
secret after credits scene where sylvain, after finally coming to terms with his trauma and bitterness towards society, is abruptly strangeled to death by a not actually dead hubert in front of his horrified wife and/or felix

"...I must make a tactical retreat."
"Hehehehe.... IS THIS SOME KIND OF TWISTED JOKE?!"
DLC pack 1: Hubert's Retreat
Four Hounds made Hubert look tame, lmao
The fact that three hopes straight up as retreating enemies that never show up again, is just sad
Aaaah another bisquick video, I must retreat, I will defeat you next time and not laugh! You will not win! Next time it’ll be differen
I love how starting with Corrin, nobody in this series knows how to kill people anymore
Because the writers don't know how to keep the story if the main Lord just keeps offing all the antagonists.
Committing to shit means less characters they can put in heroes as advertisement, and also demands less *haha sexy handsome pretty* characters they can use to sell the game
Should have done that thing where Hubert leaves a note after defeating him s as ms it says,
“Ah, I’ve been defeated. But I cannot expire here, I must retreat with haste.”
Byleth: How many times are you gonna run? We've defeated you seventeen different times!
Hubert: ... I feel like it's going to be at least eighteen.
*Awkward silence*
Byleth: The caucasity of this bitch...
Death Knight on Verdant Wind in a nutshell. Damn fool was cannon fodder for Lysithea every damn time
Abyme, Engage Chapter 3 Boss: "Damn, I've been defeated, but I can't fall here. I must make my retreat."
The Player on the Chapter 18 Boss: "Wait, your face and name look familiar. Who are you again?"
I can't believe Bisquick actually managed to guess that a certain unit comes back in the Ashen Wolves DLC to fight you.
The truth is characters only die when they’re ready to play dead and yell out loud with the most depressing monologue possible.
Hubert doesn’t think that suits him so instead of tapping out for good, he runs away hesitantly.
They really did Hubert like a cartoon villain. They might as well have made his retreat quote "I'll get you next time, Gadget"

Can't wait for the DLC where you force Hubert to retreat.
Lysithea vs the Death Knight in a nutshell.
This reminds me of playing games against my little brother.
He just refuses to admit defeat.
This is Engage Villains in a nutshell.
All 8 of them. 9 if you count Sombron himself if you count his defeat 1,000 years ago/The Prologue a "I must retreat" moment.

"Tuck my tail between my legs Retreat"
Can we talk about the absurd stat inflation especially on maddening mode characters who instantly stat deflate when you re-recruit them?
When your DM creates a villain they like just too much
Your know that paralogue where you have to NOT kill Death Knight?
Yeah, that was the best
"How do you keep getting away?!"
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Warp Powder?"
1st guy You're dead
2nd guy no
Apparently this is the best way to avoid death, just by saying the word no.
Hubert and death knight had that argarthan technology. That’s why they were able to YEET themselves outta there
Plot armor shouldn't exist.
Akame Ga Kill: *(Really, nigga? sound plays)*
@@rainierdanredondo1278 I felt Akame ga kill, was kinda sucky in it's implmentation of no plot armor.
I diden't feel all the deaths were earned and some characters potential was wasted/not fleshed out enough before there deaths
10 months later and this is still funny
ah yes, my units are subject to permadeath in the "training exercise" chapter, but the enemy gets to be the boss of 7 different chapters , seems legit
When a player unit dies : so ... This is ...where I die ...
When the enemy dies : I shall return

"To live... to DIE... To know one without the other would be maddening..!"
Finally killing Hubert at the end of the BL route was so damn satisfying.
Death Knight
🤝 Damn I've been defeated, but I can't fall here. I must make my retreat.🤝
Hubert
The 4 Hounds in a Nutshell
Nothing will ever outlive the maximum number of times you can defeat Hubert in Three Houses only for him to retreat. My theory is that he retreats at the end of the game as well, but just says that he was dying to get you to stop hurting him.
Except despite being twice as many in numbers, they appeared less times than Hubert and DK combo
This is how Anakin was negotiating after I cut off his legs and he caught on fire.
I prefer calling it, “Advancing in the opposite direction”.
It's like you've destroyed the empire and Hubert is still retreating even now.
Dude - when Hubert does die (on the Blue Lions route) it was cool. I teleported straight up to his face and brought that gauntlet action to his crotch.
ORAORAORA!
