headcannon: Luna decapitated Sombra, that's why we mostly see his face in the shadows, until he can gather enough shadow, or parts of his body, to gain it back.
Or he was gathering "power/magic" to re-heal himself. As we saw, he was searching for the heart, which is apparently full of really powerful magic.
@@Book_Thoughts He was also responsible for the calamity that struck the Crystal Empire's greatest ally!
Every time I watch this, I still get a thrill. I love princess Luna. She's my favourite princess. I still think they should have done more with Celestia than kill her in the first minute or so. But this was EPIC. Thanks blank for reacting to this. You, my friend, have made my day.
Glad I could be of service. :D
They didn't kill her. They just temporRily knocked her out.
Luna is my favourite character overall
She's so pretty and mysterious!
Luna is best princess
"Sister, is Sombra dead?" "No he's, er, resting." "Resting? Luna, he's dead." "No he isn't, look he moved." "Luna, you just kicked him." "Well he's a very heavy sleeper." "His head just rolled across the floor." "He turned into smoke, is it surprising he can separate parts of himself." "Luna, there is blood all over the floor." "I'm sure he will be fine."
......................................A true melon lord.......
Celestia:......BOI
Lol
Celestia:what did you do luna
@@serhoipong3785 Celestia: LUUUUUUNNNAA!! (inspired by llamas with hats
Nightmare Moon has always been there in the back of Luna's mind and manifested itself as a defense mechanism to protect Luna's mind from Sombra's attack Sombra in his desperate haste to evade Nightmare Moon's killing stroke ended up banishing the Crystal Kingdom at least that's how I see it
Jarod Wolff Or maybe Sombra linked his essence to the empire somehow, so that it would vanish if he was killed and return with him once his soul regained enough strength.
I was thinking more of a blind jump
Grau Wolff given Luna's reaction to what celestia said at the end, I think it's implied that nightmare moon is at least partially to blame for the empire's banishment
And this Is why Luna is best princess
YESSHHH
Yes she is the best princess not the best princess the best pony
Eh.... I like all of them...
Yes
YES YES YES YES YES
It was the shadows vs the Moon and her night. LUNA had it in the bag.
As she says. Where do you think the shadows go to hide from the light? The dark side of the moon off course.
Ashaira ah I see that Pink Floyd reference you did there lol
You mean me XD
FINALY!! Someone realizes that Luna banished the empire and not sombra!!! Thank you so much for pointing that out. It's been driving me insane that almost no one else caught that detail. I can end my search in peace...
Oh, I'm surprised to hear that. Well, glad I could be of service. :p
Actually sombra cursed the empire
In my opinion, it's more like Sombra cursed himself, so if he would be gone, the empire would be gone as well. So when Luna killed him, she activated the trap, which led to banishment.
Arguments:
1. Luna, just like Celestia, wasn't aware about the possibility of banishment.
2. Luna was visibly regretful and terrified to tell about the incident (as well as for admitting to murder someone)
So basically I'm against the argument, that Luna banished the Empire. To prove my point, i ask a question:
1: Why Luna would do this? This wasn't her plan at all.
Wait, does this mean that, Nightmare Moon did good? And, were talking the real Nightmare Moon, right? Like, the REAL Nightmare Moon? NIGHTMARE MOON!!!!
I wouldn't say she did good, really. She took out a threat and then banished an entire kingdom that would have been peaceful with Sombra out of the way.
+Blank Slate if you could reply to this comment my life will be complete and I will laugh and cry for like 5 minutes 😋😂😂😂
Actually, Nightmare Moon *IS* Luna in this. So Luna did all of that.
This is nightmare moon's birth/origin
@@blankslate6364actually, it was sombre who made the empire disappear. Listen to whT Celestia said after defeating sombra.
Luna must be a schnee cause she uses glyphs (that's right, I made a RWBY reference)
OMG YES😱
I know right! That's what I was thinking!!!
Luna is the origin of the schnee line. They started out as faunus
chara dreams thats what i thought
Y E S
7:52
"haAHAHAH! AHAHAHAA!"
"You think you found an ally in darkness?"
"Do you comprehend the powers you were gifted with?"
"The same powers I was *BORN* into?"
"Where do you think the shadows all go to hide from the *precious* light?"
"Just who do you think stands against them?"
"What you possess is a mere fraction of their *might."*
"The same might I stand unhealing against,"
"Each and *every* night."
"STAY BACK!"
"You are *nothing* compared to *them,"*
"You are *NOTHING* COMPARED TO *ME!"*
"YOU CLAIM TO KNOW FEAR?!"
"I SHALL SHOW YOU TRUE TERROR!"
"What.. are you..?"
*"chuckle* I.. am a Nightmare."
Who else thinks Celestia was not afraid of her sister, but simply losing Luna to evil, or etc?
I think that makes more sense
Both
I liked how this animation tied together two seemingly unconnected pieces of lore, and adds a huge amount of weight to the story of the Crystal Empire when it comes back in season 3.
Bud Charles has been a lot more fun with his family
Luna isn’t SEING her fear, she BECOMES her fear
Sombra is the true nightmare... Yet Luna was punished for it... Nightmare Moon will never truly die... The night will live on... I believe this could have been the true story of how the Crystal Empire was banished... Luna will forever be... A shadow...
Celestia in her mind, “Why isn’t this hurting when I stab his heart?” Blank, “I have no heart”
celestia's weapon is called a poleaxe
the proper term is halberd
Josh Lee no a halberd is different
Josh Lee nevermind there actually the same thing
ah ok good to know thank you for the fact of my day
+Josh Lee your welcome
Hey if you have an hour to waste you can Always react to. " Fall of An Empire - Royal Canterlot Symphonic Metal Orchestra. " Its like this but an other version of the story. But in Music form
Why do people find it so hard so comprehend that at this point, Luna had already been fighting the Shadow (Nightmare Moon) for a long time? She even says so.
This is not a thing that only just happened because of Sombra. In fact, the reason why his attack didn't faze her was because she's used to much darker attacks, and because she can still channel and use it at this point without losing control.
...Not for much longer though.
Hello Blank Check. good reaction and I think I can help a bit. Celestia's weapon is a form of Halberd, think of a large battle axe on a pole. Luna has a lovely winged cross guard on her sword.
We all know about Luna's 'go to' use of magic to fix things... Her making the Tantabus to punish herself is just one example. So, seeing her using spells like this in the video makes perfect sense.
Poor Sombra... He tried so hard to sway Luna and then got 'full of himself' and forgot who he was dealing with. Luna without restraint would have been bad enough, but add in a proto Nightmare Moon?? He was toast.
This video leaves one wondering if it was really Sombra that cursed the Empire, or Luna while under the influence of NM.
the music, voice acting, and animation are all done very well, which is why this one is in my Top Ten Pony videos list.
enough from me,
the Frank Pony
Oh, I forgot to mention to your question.... that was NOT a horn on her helmet... it's a blade to intercept anything sharp attempting to slash at Luna's horn.
If you could see from the tip down, it would appear to be a triangle with the flat side towards Luna's horn, thus stiffening the blade to aid it's function of deflection.
Such deflection tech was used in old armors, but usually a flat scalloped design instead of a short blade. But, the bladed deflector works for the composite multi-piece armor sets they are wearing.
Did you note the change in Sombra's weapon once Luna got it? His was flat on the outer face with a scythe inner surface. While she transformed it into a more traditional Sickle shape, almost like one long arm of a Moon's Crescent.
I really loved Luna's use of spells to enhance her performance. This makes perfect sense, since we see her resort to spells often in the MLP series.
Case in point: her use of a spell to create the Tantabus. The one that she used to punish herself for becoming Nightmare Moon.
enough from me,
the Frank Pony
"I was born in the darkness!' I laughed so hard XD.
I'm still surprised that you haven't seen so many great fan-creations. Did you avoid them on purpose, even before you created your channel, because you knew you wanted to react to them at some point?
Oh, and you read "The Immortal Game"? That's a fantastic fanfic, one of my favorites =)
Not so much, but there was a lull in my fandom activity for a while between school and other things. And I was just never totally on top of the TH-cam material prior the the channel- the music is what piqued my curiosity, and the fiction grabbed more of my focus.
Seeing that I had so many fan productions to work with was part of the reason that I started the channel, really.
But yeah, "The Immortal Game" is definitely in my top five. Some fantastic villains in there!
+Blank Slate could you react to My Little Dashie, it is a moving and powerful animation, I would really like to see your reaction on that. I don't know if you'll see this commment but if you do I would like to congratulate you on how much you have grown your channel.
CountMonsparkle I see you everywhere... when I watch count of monte cristo stuff
+Blank Slate One fanfic that I can really recommend is "Twilight's Inferno" (www.fimfiction.net/story/192047/twilights-inferno). It's really well-written, I can safely say that no other fanfic I've read so far has moved me so much. I have to warn you though, it's extremely sad/dark, but I hope you can give it a read when you can find the time =)
What he doesn’t understand is that Luna doesn’t want ponies to fear the night, she wants ponies to like the night :P
he made a pokemon reference when he said clesteia used solor beam
#clesteiaisapokemon
this is after luna's banishment. You can tell by celestia's hair and her nightmare of nightmare moon returning.
Considering the video opens with "1000 years ago" I highly doubt that's the case.
The vision could easily be Celestia's fear of her sister turning because she already knows the darkness dwelling inside Luna.
The exact reason for the hair change isn't canon so that doesn't necessarily tell us anything.
I totally agree btw. This was far more than awesome, Though it makes me wonder how Hasbro would present this exact scene. We've seen fights all ready in MLP but would they make one out of the banishment of the Crystal Empire? Like the banishment of Luna?
It would be great to see this 'canon' apply to MLP, in my opinion. Adds some great Plot potential.
Now; after the formalities are done, Fancolt time.
Oh my holy Mare, you really read the Immortal game? Oh I love this Fiction so much! Now I can't help but imagining an animation of the badass scenes described there.. Thanks for putting that into my head. xD
You need to watch Luna's Banishment...
Grenadiel I know the banishment...I just thought it was after it from what I saw. I have now watched the comic and I know know it was before so sorry I made a misjudgement. :)
faith hughes its cool :)
Luna is a savage XD
Luna=Weiss Schnee from Rwby.
Yea curetly. i hate those peaple what says shes from undertale you too?
THANK YOU
And that is the borth of nightmare moon.
Holy crap, don't know why I didn't watch this until now, that was awesome!
Yeah, it's a fantastic animation.
celestia is using a halberd Luna is using a longsword
James K or maybe a katana
SAVAGE LUNA DAME GURL (love it mate)
Wow, how did you make it this long without seeing that video? I enjoyed your review, and it reminded me how epic these animations can be. You mentioned Immortal Game a couple times. I think if you liked that story, I have a recommendation for you that you would truly enjoy.
The origins of Nightmare Moon as depicted here are very intriguing. At first glance, one might think it is incompatible with MLP's take on Nightmare Moon. But I have reconciled the two and expanded upon the lore to make it sync with the show. I don't absolve Luna of responsibility for becoming Nightmare Moon, but she _did_ have an external corrupting influence from Sombra which played a big part.
Check out these metaphysics ideas. Maybe you'll like what you see. :)

Looks interesting, bookmarked the page. Thanks!
Yep. And if you're ever in the mood for another epic adventure story, check out my author page on fimfiction. If you liked Immortal Game at all, you'll love this. ;)
Wished Luna got to use those dark powers again in the show.
Like using them to protect Equestria.
Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaassssseeee do A tale of one shadow. It's one of my favorite animations!!!
YES YES YES YES YES
That one is real sad. It made me cry.
Oh, you're reacting to "Fall of the Crystal Empire." I haven't seen it myself, but I have heard some great things about it. And now I will get to see it along with you!
I agree with you regarding the empire's banishment. Based on Luna's responses to Celestia after it was all over, I definitely felt that Luna herself was at least partially to blame for the empire disappearing. Possibly even all to blame.
Yeah, it seems pretty implied that Nightmare Moon was the one who did the banishing.
luna is night mare moon but i like nightmare moon because i just do.
Glad to see you react to one of my favorite fan animations. (Second only to Lullaby for a Princess, because there's no beating that.) Incorporated this into the history for one of my own fanfics, the concept is so good.
halberd like weapon.
Awesome I have seen the video by my sis she showed me I was AMAZED as well :O
Good job I'm always up for watching ur reactions
Glad you enjoy ^^
Blank Slate hi
she fiunuleaye use n it mer moon for good😁😁😯😯😯
Thank you for that info.
I have a theory that this is why Nightmare Moon even exist. The strange letters around Luna was a spell to tie Nightmare Moon to Luna.
2:26 IT'S A HALBERD!!!!!
LUNA the true embodiment of Darkness *daemonic red eyes start glowing with a blood soaked teeth smile* my empress
Jimmy Roth Luna, my Mistress *bows down*
And this is why Luna is the best!
I tired don't hate meh ._.
Yaay another one who have reacted to this awesome piece! SOMBRA FOR THE FREAKING WIN!
Also great reaction dude :D
This is my favorite interpretation of Sombra. I wish they did this in the show.
Thanks, man! Yeah, this was an awesome portrayal of the Crystal King
+Blank Slate
I wonder if they'll use him again, they're definitely going to use chrysalis again due to the writers featuring a changeling in the premiere. Maybe they'll have her revive him. Who knows.
Yo, Blank Check! This is some amazing content here. Listen, mate, I really gotta say something.
Blank Check is Best Princess.
+John Driskell I would love it if they brought back sombra, and he killed chrysalis for control of the changelings
can u react to mlp turnabout storm?
sorry Phoenix Wright turnabout storm
This reminds me of fairy tailYou have celestia which to me sounds like Erza and you have the swords which erza uses and the power of the swords like multiple swords/weapons and the magic circle like things, anyone else feel the same?
have u ever reacted to children of the night? if u have not then plz react to it ;)
I've seen the video, no reaction, sorry
Blank Slate nooooo! Do a reaction plzzzzzzzzz!
Blank Slate Wait ur video post IS So new!That's means we got more blind commentaryes!Thank u!
ITS NOT FINAL FANTASY ITS RWBY
I believe you would call celestia's weapon a Halberd
i think battle axe instead of that?😀
Battle axes aren't that long plus she stabbed Sombra with it. Battle axes are ment for swinging not stabbing automatically making it a halberd
Yeah, it's a halberd. I had only noticed part of it when I made that comment
Foolish Hooves can u tell me WAT A HALBERD plz i dont know 😭😒😡
It is a combination of a battle axe and a spear(not a battleaxe) search it up on google
I think Luna is stronger than Celestia
OMG is Luna from Undertale I swear she's Undyne with all those swords appearing out of nowhere
I get it nightmare, night mare
ughh
Not everything is undertale
+Danielle Martin 😑😒
But Undyne used spears! Not swords.
Кейта Линда it means that luna is kind of like undyne dude
I'm extied too ! YOU KNOW!
i was expecting nightmare moon to say "i... am your best nightmare"
+BlankSlate, could you react Rainbow Dash Presents videos please?
OMG! YES!
Yeah. I have plans.
Oh my gosh! Yes please react to it! It's hilarious! XD.
Yay! I love that series.
Have you seen Moonrise Animatic by Firelight Animations? If you haven't, can you do a commentary on that?
I've missed the one off reactions, I think they're more fun! P.S. Can react to this please? It's a series called "the best of mlp voice actor panels" I forget who made it but it's hilarious!
maby you can do The Confrontation of Luna and Night from Dragonfoxgirl, it is amazing

Oh, neat! Not too surprised about that.
Blank Slate
Yeah 2014 was a lot more competitive lol. I wanted Beat It PMV to win that year but it got 2nd. I think some of the combat style here was inspired by the online series Ruby, especially Luna's parts.
Blank check i know it was a while Ago but i LOVED LITERLY LOVED AND IS STILL MY FAVORITE VID OF YOU IS WHEN YOU REACTED TO...lullaby of a princess...i cried and could not sleep later that Night...please look at this comment
I am a complete nightmare moon girl and I was like YES GO NIGHTMARE and au love it when she says “I am a Nightmare”
You know "A tale of one shadow"? It is a short animation. This video just reminded me of it, because it was an interesting concept of how Sombra became what he was.
Sombra have the power of fear that every pony fears
Celestia have the fear of Nightmare moon.
Luna fear is... ???
Well i don't fear sombra he is just a fool, he is running from his... Fear that he don't now how to Defend him self well.. He make a big... Mistake... hehe....
I think the whole... Sombra showing Luna her fears only for her to turn that on him as Nightmare Moon... was more of a "I showed them their fears, and they turned that against me." sorta deal. She saw how much power she'd have as Nightmare Moon and felt she needed it to defeat Sombra so she gave in, on the condition that the Nightmare stayed away. Perhaps a few years into the future, Luna felt that nagging jealousy of Celestia being worshiped as the "Goddess of the Sun" and the Nightmare used that as it's door to take over.
Blank: No ur helmet!!
U can’t ride a bike now!!!
I like the way they put so much animations and credit into this along with Luna's transformation into Nightmare Moon and eventually she lost control and then just let it go let the darkness within her take care of what the fighting going on for finishing off the fight
What I think happened was that when she atacked sombra she banished him to see all his fears. And she over did it to make sure he did not escape and accidentally banished the whole empire.
I wonder if there was an fanmade animation of Queen Chrysalis and her back story
Hasbro should have hired the dude that voices this sombra cuz season 9 could have had a better first villian in the season intro
How did this animation predict that the elements would not work the first time on sombra!
OMG I JUST NOTICED EPIC V ON YOUR COVER HIDING OMG...........meanwhile my sister said "so can I now ship them" how do I answer?
Tell her yes ;D
This time luna did it all no celestia 😇😇😇😇🤣😚😚😚😚😋😜😝
Can you like stop talking!!!! I can’t hear 👂
Am I the only Sombra x Luna shipper?
It is so annoying when you're talking during the? 😡
Celestia wise ruler meanwhile luna badass warrior princess
STOP TALKING AND WACH IT'S ANNOYING AND STOP PAUSING!
They have another evil sister named messtel they’re older sister
I don’t know that his head Was off of him how does he know if you didn’t see
dam, ._. luna roasted sombra or wth his name is.
Sobras faces like oh shit LOL
I'm so happy I
andddd, 1000 years ago?!?! dang dere old.
I chose to believe this is cannon
Yes this is the best Sombra. Hasbro had a second chance to make something good come out of this amazing character in season 9 but noooo they made him look and sound dumb af
I see what you mean.
Luna is da best 😉
"Magic to see your fears" me: OH RIIIIIIIIIIGHT! Now I get that part.
get over here

Why Couldn't Sombra in Season 9 by like this Sombra?... from his voice, to his personality, this Sombra makes that joke of villain in season 9 look pathetic😒
Do you think he should've been the leader of the Legion of Doom
@@silversmoke4159 if Sombra in Season 9 was like this Sombra, then yes... he could of made a great leader for a group of villains.
@@Draconicus702 okay
You should read "Sweet Celestia" by rusty on Fimfiction. I think you would like it!
OMG I wish they had this kind of fighting on the show
Do a reaction to Children of the Night, pls! That would be cool!
2019?
This seems like it belongs in a movie theater because of how good the dialogue is! 🎞️
When Luna breaks the cage she's in I wanted her to say "fool. I want ponies to love the night. Not fear" like or comment if you agree
JESUS U DIDN'T WATCH SNOWDROP YET?
or did u?
I have.
