I love Chadicus and Bradicus. I know they're initially presented as stereotypical meatheads in the first few arcs, but you REALLY get to see their softer, more vulnerable sides come out during the Dogfight arc. They're just two lovable himbos and I can't get enough of them.
Oh! And remember their completely *awesome* arc in Ho! Tell d.u.s.k?! Back to back for three straight days against the armies of hell, all to haul Vegitalo back to life? Talk about badasses! "What, you think we'll let you quit on us, bro?" 😢 Tears to my eyes!

I like to think that this is Braddicus and Chaddicus’ canonical backstory in the wider King Dragon saga. That when you would recruit them to your party in that one, all of the flavor text makes this all seem really tragic and dramatic, like: “Braddicus and Chaddicus have watched countless comrades fall in battle. Through it all, they have managed to survive by sticking by one another’s side.” Which even makes it sound like the game WANTS you to keep them together in the party.
Chadicus and Braddicus fought alongside of many comrades that have fallen in battle by giant armys of monsters and henchman of King Dragon. These two brothers survived no matter how hopeless the battles were or how many of their beloved comrades have fallen. They have become legend like heroes in the eyes of the people. It is an honour to have such heroes to travel with you. Also they are really cool.
You forgot the part where they accidently find out that overstacking a singular class actually breaks the game and then the entire playerbase only runs that composition instead of a normal one.
Realllly depends on the class and game, and sharing the limited equipment can get really annoying ^ ^' A good composition's usually lots of fun anyway~
And yet the fanbase still recommends well rounded comps for novices because you need experience to know which enemies to avoid and because the comp doesn't work on it and which gimmicks the bosses have.
Reminds me of one game where an entire party of clerics was overpowered because a lot of the enemies were undead and you could cast smite on them. Also had resurrection spells too.
I absolutely love how one of them still has a gun taped to his sword, just like back then in the good old days of King Dragon sending his regards and all that.
This is the prequel before they met the main party and finally had a strong team with them. This is also before the other one gets nunchucks with a gun on it.
Nah, nah, nah, you miss understand. This is the prequel where they learn the value of other people. The gun chucks are only received after they fight an encounter way above there level and Bradicus uses his knowledge of his teammates to outwit the encounter and the gun chucks are a metaphors for that since they work as fast long range weapons as well as slow but powerful melee weapons but they're also hard to use and can hurt your team if you don't use them properly. It's quite simple actually
Yeah they gotta work around the whole "don't use nunchucks or the kids will try to mimic it" thing TMNT had ages ago. Its fine the adaptations doing its best with what it got.
"think the key word there is 'challenge'..." "wanna tell them what you're doing then?" "uh, no" "this fuck's doing an all bug run in pokemon sword" "hey they put some sweet ass bugs in this game, it's actually not that bad. not that pokemon's super difficult to begin with..."
The swords chanting is honestly so relatable. If they were referencing the German landsknecht mercenaries, I don't blame them for wanting three more of them. Those guys were awesome.

As a Darkest Dungeon vet, normally you’d need a balanced squad for every mission, ooooooor you can take the advice of Chadicus and Bradicus and just run 4 crusaders and retake the holy land no problem!
Crusaders are a generalist class, able to do a bit of everything... so the logical conclusion is 4 of them can do a lot of everything! Perfect! Time for a crusade!
At the very least, crusaders can be healers, tanks, and damage dealers at the same time. And can function in the front or back row depending on their moveset. So they do seem like a great pick for having an entire party consisting of one class.
This is why I love subclasses. You can make a diverse and interesting party even if they're all the same core thing. Five Druids can be someone throwing crazy fire, someone doing debilitating debuffs with mushrooms, someone who's always a goddamn bear, someone who has a pet dinosaur and someone who can live inside dreams
I'm happy the series could be continuing since they are doing remasters on the Switch and PC. It sort of felt like Nexus was the last one, and it was going to die with the 3DS.
Once y’all mentioned Landsknechts I was like “This is an Etrian Odyssey plug” and I am SO GLAD I WAS RIGHT it’s fr such a good game collection!!! Please try it out EO is such an underrated gem by the makers of Persona it’s very cool 😎
Congrats on getting sponsored by Atlus! The second you mentioned front and back row, I knew something was up with Etrian Odyssey! Love how you make your sponsorships super hilarious!
I love the ongoing saga of Bradicus and Chadicus. Bradicus and Chadicus: The Five Ronin Bradicus and Chadicus: The Three Medicks Bradicus and Chadicus and the Lonza Necklaces of Power The stories aren't long but are violent.
Reminds me of when a game asks you what stats you want to start with when you have no idea how relevant or fun any of the stats you choose are going to be in the game. I usually just funnel my points in to strength 😅
"How hard can I gimp myself before my character's utterly useless?" My first playthrough of Tyranny playing as a barehanded atrophy specialist. The sheer number of RPGs I've started where I had to immediately gen a new character because I found the one build that had no attack options to speak of and so couldn't beat the first encounter...
Reminds me of back in the days when I started Baldur's Gate 2 and gave my Knight Bastard Sword proficiency because how the hell am I supposed to know that Two Handed swords is the way to go?
This is why I prefer to cheat and leaf through a few guides before making any early stat allocating decisions. "You can choose whatever you-" no, shush, I want to peek at the upcoming early quests first. Later I will probably commit to becoming as close to invisible as I can while also bashing enemies very hard, but practicality comes first.
The quality of a fantasy game is proportional to how viable my first playthrough is, which is invariably a dude with a sword in a suit of armor. I am a creature of habit.
If you think about it, these Ronins survived what should have been three full team wipes. They're clearly overleveled for the combat encounters and are just being let down by their party.
@@aegisScale You can't read scrolls unless you're a magic user or you put skill points in the right areas, both of which require a high intelligence that barbarians wouldn't have.
Fun Fact: while newbie medics may be fragile, Medics with full investment in HP Up ends up being one of the tankiest classes in EO1. Coincidentally, they can also hit very hard with ATK Up and Caduceus. And Immunize (buff skill for the party) makes the whole party basically invincible.
medic is literally the best class in eo1 they can do everything on their own: they can buff, attack, and heal all at the same time. Second best is Survivalist because they have the highest DPS in the game, so high that they got nerfed to the ground in all later games.
There are so many lines that made me actually laugh out loud, but standing the back so as to not get in the way of the medics healing the part deserves a mention since the bleeding line already got quoted
I mean, honestly DnD subclasses make a lot of all same class parties viable. A billion times more so if the chosen class is cleric. That class can do whatever the fuck it wants (mostly because Wizards of the Coast seemingly wanted to make more people chose a "healer" class). Want to be a dedicated healer? Sure thing. Dedicated damage? Oh you betcha. Dedicated tank? Mhm!
All cleric? Literally unstoppable. All bard? Stun hell. All wizard? The nuking will spare you from having to worry about your health pool. All barbarian? The only healing you need is sleep, and the damage resistance.
I swear to god this is the first youtube sponsorship in my life that I'm genuinely interested in. Etrian Odyssey is legendary NDS series but I never tried it. I had no idea there's a collection coming out. Also, great funny video. I missed these skits.
Love that you made a skit with one of my favorite series. Party composition and positioning is crucial to survival, but a meme run with all ronins might be fun too.
Normal Fire Emblem 3H players: trains every student by focusing on their strengths and crests, and accounting for their weaknesses Me: trains every student into a bow knight because Mongol horde is best horde
dunno what youre talking about. every fire emblem player I know agrees that mounted units are superior to unmounted units. a general or even a swordmaster may have all the stats in the world, but a bow knight or paladin will always mete out more actual damage thanks to their insane mobility. and wyvern lords and falcon knights are even more insane because they dont even have to deal with terrain
When I saw this and heard ronin as dps I immediately thought of etrian odyssey then i got even more excited to see that it actually was !!! I love EO so much
The best part is that it was half German half English. He said Land with a more german sounding 'a' but then he got to the skn and all hell broke loose.
It took me a while to realize this is one of my favourite game series being advertised. I am so happy it's becoming popular again! ; w; Here's hoping IV comes too!
@@nodot17 Paralysis was one of the status ailments you could use, but I don't remember if it was what was *the* status used in 5 NS teams. Iirc (it's been a decade) it was mostly useful for either farming F.O.E.s or fighting F.O.E.s at lower levels because their damage scaling off of hitting enemies with status ailments was so high.
And loading up on Ronin was also genuinely pretty viable in vanilla EO2 since they could hit all 6 physical and elemental damage types and Tsubame Gaeshi scaled up absurdly well. There were few scenarios that couldn't straight up rush down, and that's what the Hexer + War Mage combo dealt with as backup
@@gtf234 U2 had a similar cheese in the remake with ronin's force break. It had insta kill on it so you could just open the battle with 5 of them back to back and it'll probably kill a FOE even if you were underleveled.

Congrats on getting sponsored by Atlus! The second you mentioned front and back row, I knew something was up with Etrian Odyssey! Love how you make your sponsorships super hilarious!
ProZD may not always do skits, but when he does, he creates perfection
I love the ongoing saga of Bradicus and Chadicus.
Bradicus and Chadicus: The Five Ronin
Bradicus and Chadicus: The Three Medicks
Bradicus and Chadicus and the Lonza Necklaces of Power
The stories aren't long but are violent.
I really love how they aren't scared to kill off important characters
@@jaspernemo1825 It's refreshing
So how many more sagas until we get to the king dragon plot line?
There’s something oddly pleasing about him chanting “SWORDS” with himself.
Blue Lock syndrome. Who needs a team of balanced classes when you can just go all strikers?
This may have actually been the only time ever that I have seen sponsored content and gone "oh shit, really? I need to buy that immediately"
Y'know, its nice to come back to the king dragon universe every once in a while.
I love that Bradicus and Chadicus got their own spinoff series
You know who didn't love it? Ronins, me-dics, and landsknechts.
It's great to see Etrian finally breaking into the market more, I've played and loved the games for years. F.O.E!
Even voiced by ProZD, F.O.E.!
Even in 2023! F.O.E!
F.O.E.? “Fuck off Ethan”? What did Ethan do to you?
@@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai He knows what he did.
@@RetroFrequency 😳
I didn't read the caption and I went "hmm that feels awfully similar to EO's classes", when he mentioned landies I lost it HAHAHAH
I am reminded of 8-bit theater. Those 2 guys would totally chat with Warrior about swords.
Reminds me of when a game asks you what stats you want to start with when you have no idea how relevant or fun any of the stats you choose are going to be in the game. I usually just funnel my points in to strength 😅
"How hard can I gimp myself before my character's utterly useless?" My first playthrough of Tyranny playing as a barehanded atrophy specialist.
The sheer number of RPGs I've started where I had to immediately gen a new character because I found the one build that had no attack options to speak of and so couldn't beat the first encounter...
Reminds me of back in the days when I started Baldur's Gate 2 and gave my Knight Bastard Sword proficiency because how the hell am I supposed to know that Two Handed swords is the way to go?
I always go with magic and then pump vigor to the sky as well.
This is why I prefer to cheat and leaf through a few guides before making any early stat allocating decisions. "You can choose whatever you-" no, shush, I want to peek at the upcoming early quests first. Later I will probably commit to becoming as close to invisible as I can while also bashing enemies very hard, but practicality comes first.
The quality of a fantasy game is proportional to how viable my first playthrough is, which is invariably a dude with a sword in a suit of armor.
I am a creature of habit.
I instantly thought of the story about the all-barbarian D&D party, which surprisingly worked out a lot better than the ronins in this video haha
Too bad that only Babarians fall of after level 8 and later.
@@Mendoza-yi6qknah mate roll an all zealot barb high level party. The "literally unkillable" gang.
@@TheBerylfly just grab a few Resurrection scrolls and you're all set
If you think about it, these Ronins survived what should have been three full team wipes. They're clearly overleveled for the combat encounters and are just being let down by their party.
@@aegisScale You can't read scrolls unless you're a magic user or you put skill points in the right areas, both of which require a high intelligence that barbarians wouldn't have.
I immediately thought of Etrian Odyssey, then he started listing the classes.
had no idea what class you said until I saw "Landsknecht" in the ad lol
-signed, german dude
That cameo of Archibald was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
"Do we really have to go with them?" "I'm so sorry"
Dude you absolutely killed it voicing Mordecai in Lackadaisy. You got the tone and enunciation perfectly. It was an epic performance.
enunciation*
Fun Fact: while newbie medics may be fragile, Medics with full investment in HP Up ends up being one of the tankiest classes in EO1. Coincidentally, they can also hit very hard with ATK Up and Caduceus. And Immunize (buff skill for the party) makes the whole party basically invincible.
medic is literally the best class in eo1 they can do everything on their own: they can buff, attack, and heal all at the same time. Second best is Survivalist because they have the highest DPS in the game, so high that they got nerfed to the ground in all later games.
Immunize? Good.
Morale-boost Immunize? Perfection.
Caduceus? You mean Chadicus?
im pretty sure it is Me Dicks
EO1 Medic's ATK Up is for some reason a 300% Damage boost, unlike literally everyone else's ATK Up passive
I love EO, it's so cool you were sponsored by ATLUS, I can't wait to create a new story on the switch
There are so many lines that made me actually laugh out loud, but standing the back so as to not get in the way of the medics healing the part deserves a mention since the bleeding line already got quoted
every dnd party ever
I mean, honestly DnD subclasses make a lot of all same class parties viable. A billion times more so if the chosen class is cleric. That class can do whatever the fuck it wants (mostly because Wizards of the Coast seemingly wanted to make more people chose a "healer" class). Want to be a dedicated healer? Sure thing. Dedicated damage? Oh you betcha. Dedicated tank? Mhm!
All cleric? Literally unstoppable. All bard? Stun hell. All wizard? The nuking will spare you from having to worry about your health pool. All barbarian? The only healing you need is sleep, and the damage resistance.
The real question: EO1 or EO2? If it's EO2, yeah, Ronin is very viable. EO1 Ronin? Not even God can save you at that point
Me: "Wonder what mobile silliness SungWon is advertising this time"
Old Man: "Landsknecht"
My Ears: *visibly perk up*
Etrian odyssey was such a fun time! Im so glad they're being brought back
(Or at least the first three)
I recognize that same music used in Magic the Gathering: Forge. Based taste. Also surprised you've so much energy after going to Momocon. Right on.
I swear to god this is the first youtube sponsorship in my life that I'm genuinely interested in. Etrian Odyssey is legendary NDS series but I never tried it. I had no idea there's a collection coming out.
Also, great funny video. I missed these skits.
Dude I freaking love Etrian Odyssey and was literally counting down the hours to play it again on stream
Love that you made a skit with one of my favorite series. Party composition and positioning is crucial to survival, but a meme run with all ronins might be fun too.
That is the most badass looking gunblade I have ever seen.
The “I’m so sorry” at the end just hits different. X’D
I heard "5 Ronins" and "backrow" and i was already suspecting EO.
LETS GOOOOO SERIES REVIVAL WOOOOO
Awesome to see this beloved RPG series get another thrilling entry 👏😂 💖
I played an Etrian Odyssey game. The guides I found for it basically said "4 of these and a healer" and they were very accurate.
Not worth $40, the devs are smoking crack.
So close. We were so close to being able to say, “Even in a ProZD skit, F.O.E.!”
Chadicus and Bradicus, the epic prequel to King Dragon.
Normal Fire Emblem 3H players: trains every student by focusing on their strengths and crests, and accounting for their weaknesses
Me: trains every student into a bow knight because Mongol horde is best horde
I dunno man, last time I checked the optimal 3H strat was "EVERYBODY GETS WYVERNS (except Lysithea she doesn't need that shit)"
I don't have to worry about archers if I just attack first!
And sometimes I make Hilda an Armored Knight for the memes
@@TheDancerMacabre I can only answer with the following:
HILDA
HILDA
HILDA
HILDA
HILDA
HILDA
*cheerful girly laughing over dead enemy bodies*
@@lorenzomeulli750I have Hilda as a wyvern lord. She carries my campaign.
dunno what youre talking about. every fire emblem player I know agrees that mounted units are superior to unmounted units. a general or even a swordmaster may have all the stats in the world, but a bow knight or paladin will always mete out more actual damage thanks to their insane mobility. and wyvern lords and falcon knights are even more insane because they dont even have to deal with terrain
When I saw this and heard ronin as dps I immediately thought of etrian odyssey then i got even more excited to see that it actually was !!! I love EO so much
It’s so good to find another Etrian Odyssey enjoyer. Also all damage, all the time, NOTHING could possibly go wrong there
1:39 One of those Me-Dicks must have brought Archibald back to life.
0:06 I really thought the gun is floating for a second lol
THE BOYS RETURN!!! 💚
LOVE BRADICUS & CHADICUS! 😁
Too bad Gumby didn’t make the cut
@@troggdorthesecond Nobody cares about Gumdy.
@@InquisitorThomas Is that that annoying brother of Lysanderoth? Yeah, Gumgli can take a hike...
@@troggdorthesecond It's Gunther!
@@Udgrasil13 How dare you insult him, he is important to the plot, he is the brother of lysanderoth after all.
Also It's Gunther!
Glad to see that Bradicus and Chadicus got their own spinoff game
As a German, hearing the word Landsknecht being said in English is too funny xD
What does that word even translate to?
@@Chickenbreast9 It's a type of German mercenary from the Renaissance. They're known for fancy clothes and big weapons, including swords.
@@raziyatheseeker Swords! Swords! Swords!
Haha yeah the company really should have told him how that word is pronounced.
The best part is that it was half German half English. He said Land with a more german sounding 'a' but then he got to the skn and all hell broke loose.
Lysanderoth is a wizard who evokes his deadly pink magic through guns made of that energy
Been a fan of EO for like 10 years, love the attention they're getting!
I dont need to say this but, Bradicus and Chadicus need their own show.
The continuity with the sword with a gun on it is legendary
It took me a while to realize this is one of my favourite game series being advertised. I am so happy it's becoming popular again! ; w; Here's hoping IV comes too!
Been a while since I saw one of your videos. I'm really impressed with your range of voices and humor. Well done sir!
“My guy didn’t have artillery in his back row”
It's funny because 5 Nightseekers was actually a strat in EO4
Stunlock?
@@nodot17 Paralysis was one of the status ailments you could use, but I don't remember if it was what was *the* status used in 5 NS teams.
Iirc (it's been a decade) it was mostly useful for either farming F.O.E.s or fighting F.O.E.s at lower levels because their damage scaling off of hitting enemies with status ailments was so high.
And loading up on Ronin was also genuinely pretty viable in vanilla EO2 since they could hit all 6 physical and elemental damage types and Tsubame Gaeshi scaled up absurdly well. There were few scenarios that couldn't straight up rush down, and that's what the Hexer + War Mage combo dealt with as backup
@@gtf234 U2 had a similar cheese in the remake with ronin's force break. It had insta kill on it so you could just open the battle with 5 of them back to back and it'll probably kill a FOE even if you were underleveled.
It was obvious that this was Etrian Odyssey right away as a fan of the series, but I couldn’t be happier it’s getting some more attention this way.
This is by far my favorite skit you've put out lately. The tearing the eyes out was clever, and I couldn't stop laughing!
So Archibald's class is a Landsknect? Cool lore drop.
0:07 Bradicus casually scratches his temple with the pointed edge of his sword 😂😂😂 They didn't have to speak, and from that we know their intelligence (or lack there of) 🤣
