God what makes the ending scene of this boss hurt more is that the piano was her late father's, he shared his love of the piano with Yinu and after passing away that was all Yinu had left of him. Now its broken. Yet she continues to play on a broken piano and her mother joins her helping her play and growing closer
It shows that each boss isn’t a bad or good guy. They’re just normal musical artists expect from, the antagonist Edit: the blame can be taken off you, but not her mom
I wrote a whole paper on Yinu and NSR using music industry tropes/cliches through the game. Yinu is by far the saddest as she doesn’t have any control. The use of symbolism in the mom and through the whole fight is fantastic though
Yinu is just a kid so I'm gonna say she gets a pass, for people trying to defend the mom though, look a little closer. She treats her daughter like a puppet, the symbolism alone of her holding up the piano on strings is the biggest sign. Another part of it is how she keeps telling Yinu to play despite her trying to protest at one point, saying 'wait' but being completely ignored.
As someone who's played the game before and read through all the lore, Mama isn't treating her like a puppet at all, in fact, she loves Yinu dearly - but one of her faults is that she's overprotective, and once something endangers Yinu, she tries to stay cool, but then loses all reason if it continues.
my issue is that theme isn't consistent. If they really wanted to portray that then they failed at making the mother look selfish enough. Like yes I noticed the hints towards that theme in the symbolism, yet they failed to execute on that and instead you just have the story of some pompous brats interrupting a concert just to insult and attempt to beat up a child who's mother then tries to protect her only to also get beat up.
I do get that the mother is doing what she does with good intent and love. But that depth is precisely what makes a character like her more interesting. And does not justify her destroying the entire concert hall, further ruining her daughter’s performance (and probably career as well)
@@jellejoustra4024 that would make sense in most situations, however, where the game kinda fails to solidify that message is that the mother is protecting her young daughter from getting jumped by two hobos! It would’ve worked if they attacked the mother originally and weren’t interested in the child at all (instead feeling sorry for the daughter and trying to help), but no, they didn’t even seem to know who the mom was, they came in with the full intentions to curb stomp a child. Now yes I can see the themes and I know that’s what was intended by the writers. However, they didn’t convey that well in the story.
Mmm this game gives me all the happy chemicals Also, tbh, theyre not in the wrong. The mom is basically like "Yeah, so my daughter is in the middle of her performance, can you piss off?"
Yinu is actually right about the main characters. They talk big about music but all they do, at any point, is break things. The game presents them as heroic because we're seeing it from their side, their deluded point of view. In truth the main characters aren't valiant heroes overthrowing a corrupt system, they're immature jerks who failed at a musical career who are tearing down everyone else who succeeded where they failed out of jealousy. They're literally spending the whole game throwing a violent tantrum at 'the system' when really they were just two generic wannabe rockers who weren't actually unique enough to stand out among all the other generic wannabe rockers and get spotted and they refuse to accept that it's THEIR homogenousness that is the problem.
@@OfficialAtticus I wasn't talking about the system they are opposing but purely about our protagonists. Remember, the whole game is from THEIR deluded point of view. You have to take everything you see with a grain of salt. Is that really the way it is, pr just the way they see it?
They literally break yinus piano. They probably didnt know it was her late fathers piano but im certain if zukes or maydays instrument was destroyed they would throw a fit. If changing the system involves breaking musical instruments of children, you might not be the good guy
@OfficialAtticus Except she, uh... didn't need to be stopped. In fact, none of the artists they wreck actually needed to be stopped. And you and I both know that these two would have chosen to break her piano even if there HAD been another way. They would have chosen to break her piano even if there was another way and they KNEW what that piano meant to Yinu, in fact it's likely they just would have mocked her distress all the more if they knew it was her father's piano. Our protagonists are NOT good people.
♦️ Fighting Yinu, you'll really wonder who's the bad guy. These girl and guy just want justice for their genre, while this girl just want to play her music. So sad for the girl for losing her piano, but at least they all are in good terms in the end.
I don't think either party are good or bad in this one. Also being a child star is hard and stressful, and I weirdly connect to them in a sense. Also a little thing to add, that piano was her father's, aka someone who died. And that piano and that melody was probably the one memory they had of them left. Both parties are in the wrong in the end, lashing out and destruction of property. Also this is the only time I will use this cause this line is actually justified. Yinu is a kid, and technically did nothing wrong until they attacked, and either way by law it was self defense cause Bunk bed junction were swinging first. I'm done yapping now
I never realsed how much the music changed in this fight cause when it was just the mom, the song wasnt even recognizable to yinu's making really hit that it slowly showing how much yinu became a bystander
I have never heard of this game before but damn is this a good looking boss. goofy enough to be fun but with really sad implications (the mother literally holding the child on puppet strings and protecting her when she goes down, phase 3 looks straight up looks like a cage)
I haven’t played the game so perhaps I’m missing some context, but why are these 2 the protagonists? All I’m seeing here are 2 jackasses interrupting a piano recital they could have just ignored if they didn’t like piano music and attacking a child. What part of the story made this the right thing to do?
They were only trying to bring back rock since literally all the judges including yinu banned rock. So they are not yknow. So these two aren't in the wrong they believed that rock should come back and yeah they fought all the bosses to get there point across. At the end of the game rock was unbanned and all music was equal
basic jist. world is literally powered by magic music stuff. these two tried to sign up for joining the peeps in charge, and despite showing they could provid a lot of energy cause of their rock talents and stuff, they were denied cause rock is banned. so they started rebelling against it and kicking the asses of the peeps in charge. Yinu and her mom were just members of the organization. nothing more. there were much bigger assholes too.
@@bradleyadams5252that doesnt really make it any f cing better on account of rhw fact they destroyed Yinus beloved piano that was gifted to her by her dead father x x
The mom really reminds me of the first Darkside Heartless boss fight from THIS point forward 6:10, ESPECIALLY with the heart symbol on her forehead and the [remaining] stage design, among other things.
I don’t know who interested enough to read this but I spontaneously got the idea in a sequel game where the bosses become allies for this go round Yinu and Mayday have a bonding moment about there overbearing parents only to discover that their parents are getting married and the absolute menace they have been forced to deal with is about to become their step sister
I know nothing about this game, and click on the video because it looked cool, and without context it seems like two teenagers are trying to destroy a child's dream
I feel bad about Yinu, she was my favourite boss in No Straight Roads and all she wanted to do is play her piano in peace until Mayday and Zuke started to interfere with her melody and letting Yinu’s mother lose her anger in front of them, I feel like a bad guy in this game, at least Yinu stop her mother from going berserk again after the fight while playing her broken piano just one last time, I feel so guilty.😔
Omg- I was such a dumb kid, becuase I remember this boss fight being stupid hard..And- It looked just like this- I thimk I was accidentally putting all my levels on crazy like an idiot. It would..Explain alot I never read the CD and I honesty didnt understand how it worked, was wayy to focused on getting through thr game. I really need to replay it one of these days
People talk about the ending of the fight but the song she is playing right at the beginning is the song she played with her father. Bunkbed junction crashed her concert...dedicated to her late father, and the first thing mayday shouts is "BOOOOOO BORINGGGGG YAWWNNNN" Are we the bad guys?
Yes. Rock is the bad guy, because it's a very simple form of music, a rebellious one, that still overtakes the masses. For a comparison, examine rock itself, and rap. There is literally no music in rap, it's just speaking and rhyming without harmony, but it DOES rhyme. Now, compare that to free-verse poetry, which is also a rebellion, and which sounds like dogshit. In the game, the rebellious rock guy threatens to end Vinyl City by destroying it entirely. EDM has taken over, but EDM is also a synthesis of many sounds. Mayday and Zuke are only victorious by combining their efforts with EDM, and ultimately, reflect on their reckless actions. That's what the story and game are about, synthesis of new, old, and rebellious sounds.
Of all people for them to get into a fight with, Yuno is probably the only one I was siding with. I mean, come on, you're picking a fight with a kid to see who's better at music.
Wow, so many people in this comment section missed the point of the game plot. It wasn't ok for the city to ban all other types of music, and it wasn't ok that our protagonists attacked the rest of the other artists. It's all explained at the end.

i really want to see one of those "pianos are never animate correctly" videos on yinu
If you pause it just as Yinu glares at the camera, Mayday's sprite had the surprised pikachu face.
That’s just surprising
Ahahahahahaahahahah! Thanks mate!
Wheres the time stamp-
@@OmgHelpICantComeUpWithNames1:33 it’s when Mayday’s sprite starts to move away
it looks like a youtube reaction thumbnail
So for me, the fight with Yinu is the best in the game. Because it evokes a greater emotional response. And she gets to the rhythm of the music.
The final part absolutely sold this as the best song for me: the chaotic swinging of the sway bar as EDM and Rock enter a sort of anarchaic symphony.
I genuinely love how there's no good guys in this fight, I feel like it makes the message of Yinu's story so much greater. This game is too good @_@
If anyone could be a good guy it would probably be Yinu herself
Zuke and Mayday broke a child's piano, and Yinu's mother is controlling
I love that Yinu’s hair is made out of roses, I never noticed this until my 5th time watching her boss fight
She's the daughter of a forest/tree spirit and a human.
@@jakomioftherose2434Oh, that's what her mother is?

shes also in mourning. the piano was yinu's dead father's dream too. she's only a tree woman doing her best in this dang dong world!!

Yeah, I felt bad for Yinu and her mother here. May and Zuke were the bad guys.
1010 further proves it by Neon J taking the front of the attack to protect 1010 from most of the damage of the final attack May and Zuke do
@@nekogamer2508how? In this battle they fought a little child who got her piano from her father.
Isn’t that the point of the games story? No one was totally good or totally bad (except the main antagonist)
@@jakomioftherose2434 I'm agreeing with you that Mayday and Zuke are the bad guys because neon J tried to protect 1010 from time to end this attack
