To the people who don't get my bad jokes, I sometimes pronounce names wrong on purpose. So if you're gonna tell me "you're pronouncing this wrong" congrats, you fell for the bad joke so I can get 10k comments to make a video on Raiden.
I'm my own master you can't tell me what to do...but I will still like the video NOT BC YOU TOLD ME TO
I'm my own master now
*Big Chungus*
I'm my own master now! Don't tell me what to... wait a moment...
I'm My own Master now
"Who's your owner then little dog?"
"The NSA. But my handler is a white woman."
"Damn that's rough"
"I will never eat peanut butter ever again."
I pity blade swole :((((
Ah, yes, Mr. "I am pre-programmed with knowledge of EVERYONE!"
Why is Bladewolf packing a whole bakery?
I'm My Own Master Now!
for our next battle: we have bladewol- oh jesus. And let me say, if you don't know how to parry more than one attack, it'ss time to learn
I like how MG Excelsus resembles an ant - an animal known for working in masses for a common purpose where's hard to pinpoint a distinct "invidual". Also, I like how the Excelsus in the game isn't even a character on its own but just a tool used by Armstrong for his goals, just like the people/soldiers are tools for politicians irl.
If rayman can have its moment, so can Microsoft excel
It always looked like a crustacean to me
oversized stickbug
:thumpsup:
@@asimsoo291 MG Excelsus fight but the theme is just from "get stick bugged lol"
Collective Consciousness is, in a way, a perfect theme because it - gasp - subverts your expectations. When you first hear it, you believe it to be Armstrong's theme, but as Armstrong explains himself you see that this theme represents everything Armstrong opposes. I fucking love it.
But in his fight with Sam in the dlc thats his theme 🤔
I love it because of how much it beats you over the head with the lyrics about totalitarianism. It’s my third favorite boss theme too
I see it as Raiden singing the song, having a complete misunderstanding of Armstrongs true objectives and strives in life at that point; mocking him for how flawed his ideals are. Only to do the opposite once Armstrong elaborates own his goals, making Raiden come to the realization how similar they were after all through Standing Here.
@@SadMoribund armstrong final boss theme is called “It has to be this way” but i get your point
@@xthax9718 It is called 'Standing Here' in the game files. Both names are essentially correct though either way, one is the true intended name and the other is the popularized one.
14:27 Collective Consciousness is honestly a bone chilling song when you realize this game came out before the ideological struggles of today's world even began. The constant pressure to simply conform with what people want you to believe, the idea that the world is better as a collective and we need to give up individual freedoms to satisfy the needs of the masses. This isn't just a left wing thing either. There's a ton of pressure to conform with the zeitgeist on the right as well. One of Senator Armstrong's lines while he's beating up Raiden is literally "Make America Great Again." This game came out almost 2 years before Donald Trump ran for president with that very same line as his slogan, a slogan that still remains almost engraved in modern American society, whether you support it or hate it.
When left wing people say they want everyone to be equal they mean that everyone should have equal oppurtunity to be what ever they want to be. Being Born into a poor familiy should not prevent you from becoming succsesfull or achieve your dreams. There were so many people that could have become great doctor but they couldnt because they were poor and forced to work 10 hours a day to barely survive to only get laughed at by people tht could achieve theese things not by working but instead by just existing.
Metal Gear, predicting the future as usual...
I agree on most parts, but MAGA came from Ronald Reagan and Trump just adopted it. Good take anyway though
The game came out in 2013 bro. Your point is wrong
The “ideological struggles” have always existed buddy. It’s just you were probably a child or teen during the time and wasn’t aware
I'M MY OWN MASTER NOW!!
Though in all seriousness, Bladewolf's completely nails the "AI companion" character not just "human but a hologram".
Yeah, the fact he inhabits a dog like body only reinforces how subservient he was designed to be, making his eventual autonomy all the more satisfying.
I'm my own master now.
Cortana also nails the ai companion perfectly as well.....just not cortana from Halo 5 or tye Halo show.....we don't talk about those
For me MGR:R is the Kill la Kill of gaming. It's totally ridiculous but far more clever than you'd think, with layers of complexity and well integrated sociopolitical commentary. The important part is that they both understand that their plot is WTF and that's how they acheive to make something serious. Unlike other stories that take themselves too seriously and thus fail at abording serious thèmes.
Heck, Raiden has even a scisor blade.
Funny thing is, the director of metal gear rising also wanted to make a kill la kill game or berserk one.
@@feister2869 oh I didn't know that. I'd be good. The actual KlK game lacks some good storyline.
@@feister2869 you mean the one on platinums side? Man, in their prime they could’ve probably made a pretty good kill la kill game.
Both protagonists are also known for their nudity.
Raiden, Mistral, Monsoon and Sundower looks like they came straight up from Kill la Kill, lol
Collective Consciousness is probably my favorite song because of how similar it is to the current mindset of many people, following blindly what they are told to do because they think it will keep them safe. Same reason I like Human by The Killers. Too close to what we see in life.
I love it for it’s over-the-top beat-you-over-the-head style of lyrics
And because of the way it describes totalitarianism
personally I see Collective consciousness as more a theme for the patriots who Riden had fought in previous games
Like the lyrics "The unenlightened masses, they cannot make the judgement call" is the whole motive of the patriots AI
they suppressed information and acted as the decider of what information what passed on to the next generation believing humanity was not worthy of deciding for itself
"Ministry of Truth"
@@TainyaGaming They don't actually do anything. I assume you thought that was supposed to be profound?
@@wildfire9280 I assume that anyone who still defends the actions of the government, I don't care which side, doesn't realize how this can be abused.
@@wildfire9280 Any government branch that calls itself anything to do with “truth” is a giant f$cking lie. Never trust the government to regulate the truth
@@TainyaGaming what the fuck are you on about? Anything can be abused. You propose we establish anarchist society so someone would abuse it to become a dictator? And how is ministry of truth related to anything here?
I'll be honest, MGR needed Atleast two more dlc for Mystral and Monsoon, like they seem more pale and bland in comparison to Jetstream Sam or Bladewolf because they didn't get as much time to be fleshed out and explained, we only got their backstory and reason to fight and that's it, and I think there was way more potential with giving every boss a dlc story
expect sundowner. he's basically always been the same lol
Sundowner is a really simple villain and he plays that role really well. Mistral and Monsoon both hint that they have more complex backstories that we never see so I agree that they should have their own DLC story!
@@FabulousJejmaze same. I mean I guess they could show how sundowner met Armstrong and what he did before then, but I'd say Mystra and Monsoon would be better for a dlc expansion lol. glad someone agrees
Technically speaking, Sundowner was a sadistic soldier
@@Mangakamen yeah, I would've loved to see more into this lol

6:09 that's a 115 hit combo holy shit
Lyrics in MGR songs hit hard, they strike too deep to the live we're living now. It's even more prevalent in 2022
The writers of MGR are genius! Or time traveller
I'm my own master now... Wait did you just ordered us to write that? We fell into your trap :(
Just like unlighting masses.
like, if someone else forces you into freedom, it isn't really freedom
"Free will is a myth!"
"Freedom calls to all men who bend thier will"
The Metal Gear Solid series has always had deep messages and themes:
1: Everyone is bound to their genes and to fate and that the only thing that matters is passing on genes to the next generation. However genes do not define you as a person but rather, that you should enjoy your life instead of worrying about your genes.
2: At the end of the game, it is shown that good things can be passed on to the next generation, not just the genes, those things, are the memes (as in 'an element of culture or behaviour not passed on genetically').
3: That everything is not absolute or eternal and that everything changes along with the times.
4: Is a little more confusing but the main theme is 'sense', as in someone's understanding of the world that is lost when they die. Where the individual's original intent and sense of the world is questioned and unclear and seemingly is deliberately left for the audience to answer.
Peace Walker: Although true peace may be unlikely, it’s still an ideal worth striving towards.
5: Has the story touching upon the misunderstanding, prejudice, hatred, and conflict caused by the difference of language, race, custom, culture, and preference.
But i really feel something with Risings story, it just hits the notes that resonate deeper with me. Also the game being drastically shorter than previous games really helps with that.
But if you tell me to say “I’m my own master now”, would I really be my own master?
... Wait a minute... Dangit!
He gave you a suggestion, not an order, so yes
welcome to the free will discussion.
If you are instructed to do a thing, will you refuse or do the opposite simply to exercise your "free will"? If you would otherwise choose to do a thing of your own volition, but being told to do it is enough to get you to reconsider or refuse, is it even your will being exercised?
"Free will is a myth, religion is a joke"
@@superluigi6968 I have an doubt.
If biologically, there’s nothing we have that indicates free will instead, what your brain thinks is best for you or wanting to have mindless dopamine. What’s the reason to make philosophy, religion or culture? I doubt in the evolution spectrum, our genes predicted that people will become closer together because of these human concepts. Basically why was there a need for our brains to create “memes”.
@@superluigi6968 Free isn't to NOT do what you are told. It is to chose wether to do it or not, as well as find other things to do yourself.
Blade wolf is by far my favorite character in MGR aswell, his story arc of discovering and gaining his freedom is the highlight of the games narrative for me.
The desires he has and having them explored through wolf's interactions with Sam and Raiden to then declare not being afraid to be terminated and creation of his own directives. A.I.'s gaining their freedom is one of my favorite tropes and our little wolfy is my favorite of them all. And in his immortal words.
I'M MY OWN MASTER NOW!!!!!
I'm my own master now!
Blade Wolf is a character that I personally connect. I think we all struggle with the idea of freedom and sometimes "taking the lead" can feel troubling and even scary to some. I have much respect for this character and his story.
I'm my own master now!
Honestly I freaked out when playing for the first time and Blade Wolf's lyrics dropped that hard. I never knew I wanted a Metal Gear musical
By definition, a musical is a story that has its' narrative explained through song.
Due to the boss themes explaining each character, their motives, and philosophy, and how they feel (Raiden, Mistral, Bladewolf, Sam, etc.)
Technically, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a musical.
Oh yeah, that song goes hard as fuck. Between "I'm My Own Master Now" and "Collective Consciousness" there's some super high tier social commentary, especially considering the songs are opposites of each other. A song about getting independence at any cost (Own Master) and a song about selling your independence (C-Consciousness).
@@IAmGun. kinda feels like it sometimes too
“A Stranger I Remain” would be the MGR song I hold close to my heart, seeking for a purpose and a reason to live and having eventually found it, which for me would be the art of writing stories.
Your last segment about Blade Wolf really hit home for me so I’d thought I’d share this little slice of my life here.❤️
I appreciate that. I really like talking about video game music like this.
As someone who hasn't learned and wasn't taught about having your own agencies/decisions(things I did were often taken away by a helicopter-ish parent because I was deemed too slow or incompetent or not ready) and that your decisions matter, Bladewolf's story resonates with me deeply like very relatable.
I always liked Raiden back then but now as an adult I fucking adore Bladewolf.
And I too am my own master now.
i think one thing you specifically missed with MG Excelsus was the original version of Collective Conciousness; the lyrics are mostly similar, but the lyrics: "The fires will burn in their defeat, the human heart is obsolete. Breaking down the fabric of society, collective conciousness controlled as you will see."
The large departure between versions is something more primal and cutting. ultimately no matter what circumstances befall one, as long as they have the strength to endure or thrive they can obtain their own freedom; the strength of the physical, mental, or philosphical aspects of humanity; one of the perverted forms of Stoicism. But going a step further and laying flames to those you have defeated or bested, showing no mercy and you've suddenly gone from the free and strong, to a butcher and a tyrant. A clarity in the old idiom, it isnt just that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, its paved with the bones of the innocent by good meaning men. And with that your humanity, your heart is lost, and if enough people begin to act in this way. All of a sudden, an entire culture has become the very thing they once opposed.
Give a man a weapon and he'll fight to survive, give a man a purpose or cause, and he'll die for you. Give a culture its freedom, and it will use it as it damn well sees fit, even if that means removing the freedoms of others.
I like Khamsin not because he has character, it's because he doesn't really have one. Reflected in his song, Khamsin is a "faceless" soldier and an "invisible warrior". Despite being a Wind of Destruction, he's basically nothing beyond that. He's a background asset, a tool. He's just a soldier who does things because he's told to. Despite being all about freedom, ironically he is not free himself in the sense he's just pushed around. Just like in war, the death of a soldier ultimately means nothing. Just like when Khamsin dies, it's easily covered up by Mistral.
I'M MY OWN MASTER NOW!
Dang, that talk at the end about Blade Wolf and fighting for your own freedom hit pretty close to home. You're great at explaining even simple messages and ideas in a way that makes them feel like game-changing revelations. Your love for the game is a lot deeper than I've seen from anyone else, I respect you a ton for this series. 🗡🐺
Yeah it definitely hit me hard I definitely feel out of touch,I guess? I want to fight be a good soldier but everywhere I look discourages fighting in almost every way
It just sucks being born around the time of weak willed pussies not strong enough to take the gloves off every once in awhile
I'm my own master now.
I’m my own master now
I have beaten this game and its dlc on revengeance difficulty, and this video just taught me there is a lock on...
Blade cancels and dodge offsets I knew about. Not the lock on button.
I'm my own master now!
not because you told me to do so, but because i want to see the next and final part in this. These videos are very nice, and i would like to see more of your thoughts i them. Hell, the rest of the franchise even.
I'm my Own Master Now!
Is one of my all time favorites songs in this game. I actually created a whole character both based around the lyrics and with a bit of inspiration from Blade Wolf's design. Blade Wolf is a fantastic character, glad to see him get the spotlight he deserves in this video.
I’m my own master now.
I like how not a minute in and Mangen is constantly mispronouncing and misreading “Khamsin”
In addition to the points you made about The Hot Wind Blowing, I’d also like to bring up the view that the song is a mockery of Khamsin. He IS the man who believes he’s American. He’s number one. They’re willing to let people tell them everything to do and carry it out without hesitation. Sam gets a pass, because he seeks out his own justice and follows his own groove. Khamsin is just a slave.
And even a dog is more free than the self proclaimed master.
I’d argue that another aspect of why khamsin is called the hot wind is also because of him being well, full of hot air. He’s making an excuse and acting pompous believing that he knows what’s best, but it’s nothing but hot air, because of course, you can’t force freedom onto others.
15:03
This
This is exactly why I love BladeWolf's theme the most
I've struggled with freedom most of my life: I grew up in a totalitarian place, and was forced to do things I didn't believe in. I live in a radical country and my personal life growing up included a lot of brainwashing institutions and people telling me what is expected of me to do.
I almost broke free completely, and I realized in the process how society as a whole is built on brainwash, how the idea of money is perfectly designed to enslave the masses and how no one has your best interest in mind but yourself
I have a different interpretation of the "I am a wind of destruction" verse in Khamsin's theme.
I think the term here is used as a metaphor to describe soldiers in general.
In the song, he describes soldiers as "invisible warriors" and says they "fulfill their duty then vanish without a trace", both being attributes of a destructive gust of wind, arrives unseen, destroys and vanishes.
Also the "Jagged lines across the sand" is a metaphor for borders. And borders are changed by soldiers in a similar way that lines on the sand are changed by the wind.
Why is this game getting so popular? Not that im mad, im glad it’s getting as much attention as the orginal trilogy but, the sudden surge of content is a bit surprising.
A game that’s 9 years old, is so somehow trending as of now.
Ig it just aged well, meme, story, and gameplay wise
Memes Jack. The DNA of the soul

TIME TO LEAVE THEM ALL BEHIND
BREAKING OUT OF MY PAIN

if we take your description of freedom literally as something you need to earn for yourself, then Armstrong ends up becoming more correct by the end of the game by saying people like Raiden who clawed their way up from the bottom deserve to live in the world he wants to create for america, which also means that Raiden is essentially fighting for people that would be too weak to fight for themselves and "live in ignorance" but to him thats fine and I kinda agree, not everyone wants to struggle, not everyone wants "freedom" just making it to tomorrow, just because someone was born in america doesn't mean they share the same idea of freedom, to them it could just be not inslaving anyone, but even then the comforts we have are only possible by taking advantage of the vulnerable and weak, in the end real freedom, one where people are allowed to do what ever they want good or bad, it just isn't possible in a societal structure where people work with one another almost like ants working towards a cause they is better for the collective but an anarcy one only leads to destruction and collaspe
I'm my own master!!!!
Awesome character analysis and music breakdown too, it was very entertaining and filled with great information and meaning, it was splendid! Looking forward to seeing Mr. Lightning Bolt's character video!
Much appreciated
Thinking about Bladewolf's fight and the description of him as a leader of a pack.
Imagine going in to your job at World Marshall and finding out the guy who's gonna be operating above you is an intelligent robot dog with a chainsaw on its back and a chip on its shoulder.
IM MY OWN MASTER NOW!
honestly i need to replay this game, i loved it on release and i will always love this game. from its theme's, memes and gameplay. its a game that will stick with me for years
MGRR is like the Robin Williams of action games. It has a lot of qualities that you can’t help but laugh with but looking deeper, it has a lot more underneath the surface with so many complexities that it might as well be a masterpiece
yup yup
I am so unbelievably glad I decided to watch your videos. Not only do you entertain, but also give people insight into their own...
The Blade wolf segment resonated quite... Deeply with me. It actually made me want to look further into it all.
And how, familiar it all sounds; having a controlling family, never able to go anywhere or do anything.
I can't express how much your videos have helped me, and know I am grateful.
(I AM MY OWN MASTER NOW!)
I'm glad to hear that, thank you very much.
IM MY OWN MASTER NOOOOOW!!!
Awesome video as always and the way you represented wolf as the trapped, caged, beast, who want to get free from the chain of suffering, bad influences, and mindless obedience, just like real persons should was something that made me think too. Its very important to don't die between the shackles and chains of those peoples who just hold you back, and live a life the way as it should.
I'm my own master now
Really excited for the Raiden video
In my opinion Raiden is a really well developed character, like on one side he is the badass coldblooded ninja cyborg killer that basically sees every one of his victims as a lost person who has to receive consequences for their decisions, but on the other hand he has a family, and you see in his interactions with for example blade wolf, which although originally being an enemy, is still accepted by Raiden, that he does have a heart. Even without his alter ego he seems to have an inner conflict about his own motives.
This is also seen before the monsoon fight where he says that he tried to convince himself into believing that it is just what he does to the pawns of more powerful people but that he now accepts what he really is and thus settling his inner conflict by letting jack take controll.
I'm my own master now.
I love these analysis videos. They go in so much depth and expose me to things I haven't even considered. While I can scratch the surface on these topics naturally, I never go to deep in them. Thank you for providing these, and hopefully I get to see you do an analysis on Raiden.
Glad you like them, and I hope to get to him as well and hopefully cover other games in this way as well.
I would watch a video from you for raiden.
“I am my own master now” stamp of approval here
17:33
Ok to be fair though have you seen Bladewolf? That mistake isnt even half wrong, lad had more upgrades to his body than just the face thats for sure
Jokes aside, great vid, glad to see ya makin one on the trio of freedom. The freedom bringer, the freedom taker, and the freedom wanter (yes i know its not a real word but bringer taker wanter sounds better than bringer taker wanting robo doggo), all in one
Imagine having a cool robot dog, literally all I wanted as an 8 year old
22:38 also as a gameplay mechanic wolf summoning soldiers offers the player an opportunity to regain health and energy to recover
I really like the song: "I'm my own master now" of course for the lyrics without knowing the meaning behind it until now.
I’m My Own Master Now!
Besides that and Collective Consciousness, I’m not seeing much on The Hot Wind Blowing. Maybe not as relatable, but still a banger. I love how this along with other Metal Gear songs can be applied more broadly than just specific characters. For example, THWB can be applied to those who served in Operation Desert Storm like my father.
I'm my own master now
Loved this video and the deep dive into the theme songs and characters, especially Wolfs character. i always felt like the themes themselves had this meaning to them for the bosses but never could put it into words like you did. i hope to see more vids like this in the future :)
I'M MY OWN MASTER NOW!!
I love the breakdown of the bosses and themes, keep it up!
Hot wind blowing also has a lot of musical motifs that line up to Collective Conciousness which pits the two songs together which I find neat.
I'm my own master now...
But do I want to be? An interesting question that you haven't discussed yet is once one has freedom, what should one do with it? Sure one can give a simple answer of 'whatever one wants' but that's rather aimless isn't it? I hope to see that video on Raiden eventually because there's a lot to discuss about him, especially the question I just posed above.
Blade wolf and the analysize you made inspired me so much I just broke the house rules and opened my door using my foot. Thank you mgr for giving me the courage to be who I am.
Ha. I am my own master now.
Absolutely amazing analysis, this is the first I’ve seen from your channel and I’m totally subscribing to see more.
Also, wow the song lyrics during these fights really do add a lot to what’s already there.
Blade Wolf's theme and Hot wind blowing are easily my favorite themes in Rising , honestly I could've been sold on Rising with those songs alone but the entire game has a whole lot to offer if you're willing to pay attention.
Dude, nothing hits harder then when the lyrics kick in during Blade Wolf's theme.

very good video, the entire thing was entertaining, I never knew Khaism was intended for the base game that was super cool.
Ever since I finished MGR months ago, the game and bosses been living rent-free in my head and between the philosophy and memes, this is something I could strive when it comes writing that is equally entertaining and subtle.
I'm my own Master now.
I love Blade wolf conceptually, and I constantly play with the Idea of how an AI could interact with freedom in tabletop games.
I've always thought that Collective Consciousness is Armstrong's theme, whilst It Has To Be This Way is RAIDEN'S
Wholesome content as always. Keep it up the good work!
Much appreciated
i'm my own master now, finally someone who pays attentions to the really interesting themes of this game
I'm my own master now!
I was one of those people that got their ass kicked by Blade Wolf... I've heard those opening tunes of his theme so much... I will admit it's a me-problem, I've never been really good at parrying in any type of action game.
That intro for Blade Wolf was top tier.
Nice video.
Glad you liked it
I do believe the “He’s not cruel enough” comes from the fact he methodically and logically destroys opponents outside of player controlled scenarios rather than doing it because “He enjoys it”
3 years in the army and dear lord I'm My Own Master Now has never hit my soul so god damn deep in my entire life
Most of my life, I was a slave to the state and their systems. Ever since 2017, I have chosen to carve my own course, regardless of the pain it will bring. After all,
I’m my own master now!
I do hope that’s working out for you!
Liked the review, got me with the "my own master now"
Awesome video. I love how people are analysing mgr a lot now especially since I do believe it brings a bit more to the table than just a remix of previous solid game's story and thematically
Glad you enjoyed it
Honestly I believe collective consciousness is Armstrong's secondary theme song because the song portrays what we believe Armstrong's goals in the beginning ,are to eradicate everyone's freedom and Purge people of weakness and then when he finally reveals what his intentions truly are then we get standing here
I like khamsin's theme a whole lot more thinking about desperado as they go:
Here i am (mistral)
Dirty and faceless (sundowner)
Waiting to heed your instruction (wolf)
On my own (sam)
Invisible warrior (monsoon)
I am a wind of destruction (khamsin)
I am my own master now!
Great video, keep up the good work!
I'M MY OWN MASTER NOW
great video, was waiting for Blade Wolf.
Glad you enjoyed
I'm my own master now!
Honestly feels so good to see other people relating to the song like I do. Everyone has their chains. The cage they feel trapped in...me?
My Autism, my Anxiety, the fact that growing up i was the bullied one, the one everyone put down, the person who felt worthless. When I discovered MGR last year and heard that song though. It fricking reawakened something in me and I howled for my freedom just as Wolf did.
Keep howling for your freedom to the bitter end even if it hurts,life is more fulfilling that way
@@anxhelovucinaj1576 Exactly. I never wanna be silenced again. Any scars you gain, be proud of. It's proof you tried.
On the other hand however, a lot of people don't know when to stop fighting. Fight for your own freedom, but don't use it to hurt others.
@@Voltaradragoness Couldn't have said it better myself
I'm my own master now.
I honestly love this game, ever since I watched SBFP do their playthrough all those years ago, back then I loved it just for the action. Next I loved the game for how absurd it is; now I love it for its messages, action and absurdity. This game is near and dear to my heart and I'm honestly a little mad that the sequel is relegated to pachinko hell
I loved these videos though, and hope to see the follow up on saucy jack himself
Thanks for the great video.
I'm my own master now. This video has given me more motivation in life, and thus, I must thank you for lifting my spirit again in these hard times.
And yeah, Blade Wolf is also my favorite Boss in Metal Gear Rising. His action throughout the story made me realize what freedom really means. It made me grateful and sad to think of the freedom and the lock that has been inside my whole life this entire time.
To me, game is merely a tool to satisfy my own self. A tool to past times while the whole world are thrown aside behind me. But this game has teaches me that even in game, a lesson can be found. And soon after I realize there are always something that you can take a lesson from in life. You just have to accept it. It could be something so simple and ridiculous, but it might contain some hidden gem inside it
I'm glad I could lift your spirits.
I feel like there should be a DLC for armstrong to see his perspective of the game
Sadly that'll never happen due to the metal gear team disbanded in Konami, and there won't be any more metal gear solid or rising DLC ever again, nor any new games...
Raiden"WHAT HAPPENS IN THREE HOURS?!"

“What use is an intellect if you can’t use it?” Is such a badass line
I feel like to me the high action we see in Metal gear rising is supposed to sympathize the changing of times and how warfare drastically change from what we remember from metal gear. Giving us a clear idea that stealth and various other things we used to do is no longer viable. cybernetics has changed everything on how war is fought so to me it make sense that the things we see snake do is no longer effective against those who are cybernastically enhanced.🐱
I'm my own goddamn master now!
This was an awesome video, also it made me really look deeper into Metal Gear Rising as more than just a "meme". Thank you so much for this!🌟
I'm glad - MGR is an amazing game, and I hope that others can see it's glory besides it's meme ability.
Since I’m My Own Master Now, I’d really like to hear your deep take on Raiden and more as I’ve been loving your videos on this game after how long it’s been since it’s come out
Im my own master now!!
Great vid and amazing work! Looking forward to the Raiden breakdown!
Awesome! Thank you
Loved the video. Can't wait for you to cover Raiden too.
I'M MY OWN MASTER NOW.
A couple of notes on Blade Wolf:
Blade Wolf wasn’t good at killing. Not only serving as a testament to Khamsin’s skill as a “Wind of Destruction,” but he is also unable to be as brutal as a human. He killed the bare minimum of targets required for the objective, and in his DLC you were better off for sticking to largely stealth, Khamsin himself even giving an attack that was meant to give you free Stealth Damage when he effectively blinds himself with his own bravado. He truly believed that he was right for doing this, it wasn’t a shield, it was a delusion…
Blade Wolf was unable to be corrupted.
It is likely that Mistral challenged that. Either knowingly or unknowingly.
When Blade Wolf’s freedom was challenged by someone who he saw as lesser, someone who did not see the value of freedom, or after being taunted by Raiden, you can see hints of emotion in his actions, efficiency put aside (Khamsin’s death, Raiden getting chainsaw pinned).
I never realized each song was tailored towards each boss , something interesting I found out after beating the game. But the lyrics totally describe each characters will and motives , pretty awesome !
I'm my own master now
Excited for the next video
Fun fact, I've never played any of the metal gear game before looking at your boss analyse video, yet...I manage to find an old copy of it in a shop, decied to buy it and try it out myself because of those video. I wanted to see for myself how they execute those characters and I am having a ton of fun with it. There are interessting moral that make up for a great story, I would love a video about Raiden since I don't know him from before the game and I only have what I know so far (just end the mission with the kid George) to understand him. Thank you very much for allowing me to discover a game I would have never played otherwise! =)
(Sorry, english isn't my first language, but I'm glad I understand it pretty well enough to have no difficulty with your video)
I think the Hot Wind Blowing plays while Khamsin is getting ripped apart because unlike every other MGR boss track, Khamsin's theme is a condemnation of who soldiers like him are. Compared to Stains of Time, which sings of Monsoon's nihilism, A Stranger I remain, which praises Mistral's finding of her purpose under Armstrong, The Red Sun's very obvious turning of Sundowner's savage warmongering into poetic song etc etc., Khamsin's theme says how faceless and without purpose he is, serving under masters for reasons he doesn't understand, causes he wouldn't believe in if he knew what it truly was.
Amazing video man
Glad you liked it
I'm my own master now! Thank you for the video and have a good day.
You too!
I feel so bad for Khasim, he seems to be relatively normal, just a soldier, and he screams and cries as Wolf brutally mutilates him.
I'm my own Master now!
IMO one of the best game soundtracks produced in a long while. We need more games like mgr soundtrack wise.
Kasim is also a interesting foil to raiden. The fact he uses his strength to give people "freedom" in a similar way raiden uses his strength to give out justice and protection despite no one really asking him to do that. Especially at the end when he goes rogue but continues doing what he thinks is right
This is amazing!!!!!!
I'm my own master now! These videos really help me appreciate the games, characters and music even more than I did before!
I’m my own master now!
(Also nicely done)
I'm my own master now.
These MGR videos have been both enjoyable and insightful, and I look forward to the possibility of a Raiden video.
You and me both.
I'm my own master now! Great Analysis!
