This season said so much about the concept of faith, and this was the most powerful final example of it. The music perfected it. Such a good finale for such a good season.
Definitely my favorite part of this song is that silent, echoing guitar. It gives me goosebumps. It makes me reflect on these characters and makes think about everything they've been through, the long road that brought them to where they are now. Pure. Nostalgia.
Caboose: Church? Tucker: Hey, Caboose, you find Church? Caboose: Nah, I didn't find him. Tucker: Well, where do you think he is? Caboose: I don't know, somewhere. He's just not here right now.
PhoinixReborn Actually, I believe Epsilon is gone. I remember hearing somewhere that Burnie wanted to finally kill his character off completely instead of having him come back every time, so there won't be any incarnations of Church in Season 15. I could be wrong, but I was positive he made a blog post or tweeted about it at some point.
ZXDarkblade this scene is church's goodbye for good. Memories don't last forever they will be forgotten this scene is showing us that epsilon memory's are starting to go away and that he might never return again.
Anyone else remember the old character jerseys from the RT Store? Tex's number was 10 and that was her final season and Church's was 13. I'm not sure if that was a coincidence, but it's still neat.
Hey, guys. If you're hearing this, it means you did it. You won. You kicked the shit out of Hargrove's forces. I knew you could. But this is my last stop... See, when I came into this world, I was really just a... collection of someone else's memories. But with your help, these memories, they... they took form. They became my voice, my personality. And after a while... I began to make brand new memories of my own. All of these things are what make me who I am. But they're also holding me back.... I can't run this suit as Epsilon. But if I erase my memories, if I deconstruct myself... the fragments I leave behind will have the strength to get you through this, I believe that. I wish there was another way, but... I'm leaving this message as well as others in the hopes that you'll understand why I have to go this time. Haha.. it was actually Doyle who made me realize something I never thought of before. "There are so many stories where some brave hero decides to give their life to save the day, and because of their sacrifice... the good guys win, the survivors all cheer, and everybody lives happily ever after. But the hero never gets to see that ending. They'll never know if their sacrifice actually made a difference. They'll never know if the day was really saved. In the end they just have to have faith." Ain't that a bitch. _Dr. Leonard "Church"_
+Henry from Another Dimension NO!!! anyone remember when they were back in sidewinder?? all those other churches... all those other Alphas.... they never went away...
And for the 3rd and final time Lenard Church died for a cause Something started by him or at least a previous him Whether it be freelancer, sigma, or the secret war They all died....optimistic
MrPancakeGamer Preety sure church died in the one base with F.I.L.S.S very sadly, he killed himself never able to overcome his goal of bringing Tex back

Guys...I'm here to turn in my man-card...I almost cry every time I hear this...the soundtrack to something so glorious as a final united battle, but so hearttrending as a final goodbye...
Just like Halo 3 for the Halo series before it, Season 13 is basically the perfect ending for Red vs. Blue as a whole, with Season 14 acting like a Halo 3: ODST/Reach to it. Of course, if anyone wants, Season 15 can also work as a so-called Halo 4. It's not the most perfect ending, but it sure is still a good enough ending... just don't continue on to Seasons 17-onwards/Spartan Ops respectively. Also, yeah, 2:56 does make you tear up on the insides.
He died like 2 is the chronicles, he died as alpha then as the director then as epsilon alpha also sort of died when they tortured him as basically had a full system reset so more than 5 times
There's still a very very very slim chance that Alpha Church could've survived the EMP way back when. Caboose dropped the empty robot body while he was driving away and it landed just at the edge of the EMP's range. If Alpha Church managed to jump away in the second before the Emp's detonation, got into the body and ran for it, it's possible he could still be out there. Lost in the freakin desert wondering where the Fuck everybody is.
+101Swiftflick That would be amazing because Epislon and the rest of the crew have changed since season 6 and Alpha would still be an asshole, we need to contact rooster teeth right now!
That would be a pretty cool flashback scene. Just slow mo animated, maybe Church could be a light trail trying to outrun the EMP like Mass Effect 3's ending, only for him to get to Church's shell then using a copy of the time distortion unit (because if we assume he was conscious to escape he probably escaped after collecting all his fragments inside him, this includes Gamma's abilities), as this scene is already slowed down because Church vs EMP in a race is lightspeed, the Time distortion unit would slow it down further to freeze the EMP while Church jumps off the cliff or something. However Burnie did say that the Church character is retired and may only appear in flashbacks only. So even if that scene happened as a flashback, it's only giving viewers false hope that Church is still alive. However, let's twist it. Let's make it depressing. Church is barely in front of the EMP, he sees his shell and jumps into it, starts to pick up his head before an electric effect hits it and his head falls back into the dirt.
Madela effect confirmed: People thought caboose said: church isn't gone, he's just not here right now What caboose actually said: I didn't find church but he's not here right now
Wasn't the first time they met was when Alpha saw Tex and Tex just wanted Alpha to come with her, but Alpha said no he wanted to just rest or whatever. And somehow that transpired into memories of them both being romantic with one another?
I swear to jesus, if Season 15 wont be a continuation from the main storyline, the only proper story that is the last one chronologically, Caboose Making Guide 4 Friends.
Honestly I didn't feel much about the "Church is gonna die!" since he kinda already has before. If the monologue was just something about how these guys are great and this might be where they all die then, yeah, make me teary.
I wish we were Church, just leaving it all on our hope, our faith in our friends. Instead, we get to see the degeneration of RvB, the collapse of RT and the pulling of everything from the internet, with only dedicated fans staying reliable to the end...
Anyone happen to have the (piano) sheet music or a tutorial for this? I've been looking everywhere, and I'm nowhere near good enough to play by ear. There have been a few tutorials for just the Chords, but that's still missing some :( Would love help
wow why imma still not over this already... Technically the Epsilon AI is still there so we can maybe get a new character. No more Delta, Theta, and all the initial AIs but a new one. That was the point of erasing himself, right? So that he can function properly as an AI. I'm sad because I'll miss Church but I'm excited to see what Epsilon is going to become.
Going to be annoying in the next few Halo games if they don't have EVA. They're going to have to animate Tucker in every scene. If this was Halo 4, no problem because the Green Screen, however the Meta's armour is from H3.

Lopez: " ( in Spanish) If I die, I what you to recycle my body parts."
Doughnut: " I love you too Lopez."
donut innuendos +1
(cause donut speeks spanish so he understood)
Si muero mis partes se reciclan
Doc: Awww that’s sweet NOW LET US STRIKE FEAR INTO THE HEARTS OF OUR ENEMIES HAHAHA
And for once, Lopez doesn't even complain: he actually didn't mind it at all. Really sweet, if you think about it.

His memories weren't "starting" to go away. He just sacrificed himself then and there.
ZXDarkblade either way he isn't coming back
You gotta love the Chorus Trilogy. It's basically where the Blood Gulch Crew is at their best.
Anyone else remember the old character jerseys from the RT Store? Tex's number was 10 and that was her final season and Church's was 13. I'm not sure if that was a coincidence, but it's still neat.
LMVStudios What was Cabooses and Donut's !?
...Whoah...
LMVStudios apparently there was one of Grif at somewhere in the 20s
English Bloke Caboose’s was -1, Simmons’ was 42 and Sister’s was 69
What about Tucker and Grif?

Ain't that a bitch. _Dr. Leonard "Church"_
And there goes Church... again... but he's not coming back anymore...
WHAT IF... What if...... F.I.L.L.S saved a back up of church...............
Kitty Wizard Well, considering it's RT we're talking about, they could bring him back if they wanted. I wouldn't complain.
+Henry from Another Dimension NO!!!
anyone remember when they were back in sidewinder??
all those other churches... all those other Alphas....
they never went away...
You have just became my worst enemy. YOU COULD HAVE LET US HAVE HOPE!
+shadeshadow007 finally someone else notices
And for the 3rd and final time Lenard Church died for a cause
Something started by him or at least a previous him
Whether it be freelancer, sigma, or the secret war
They all died....optimistic

Sorry for sounding like a nerd, but it's Leonard but that's it great words of speech.
So, this is basically the instrumental version of Contact.
Still plenty sad without the lyrics.

Keep it, use the tears to shine it. Music is a gate to the soul unlike any other.

Dr Leonard church the only man to die 5 times
+Darkstar Actual The only man that death can't hold onto.
Apparently until now
Wait what was the 5th time he died?
He died like 2 is the chronicles, he died as alpha then as the director then as epsilon alpha also sort of died when they tortured him as basically had a full system reset so more than 5 times
what about Rory Williams from Doctor Who? He died, like, 8 times

that.... I did not think of! I have hope now thankyou!
+Evil Paragon 2 Well he did only say "Church." Church could possibly mean Dr. Leonard Church, the Director. That's unlikely though, but I can dream.
The Director committed suicide using his daughter's pistol, he's never coming back.
Knowing that RoosterTeeth is now shutting down, listening to this hurts just a bit more.
Nu kyr’adyc, shi taab’echaaj’la, ner'vod'ika. Our memories and these archival videos remain, even if all forms of RT are disappearing.
Rip Leonard AKA Alpha AKA Church AKA Epsilon You were the best
I swear the slideshow of the episode makes it more emotional.
I know the feeling.
For some reason every time I hear a sad song by Rooster Teeth I think of Monty
:(
I think we all do, my friend.
+Cody Miller We all do, buddy. We all do.
He's still in our hearts, so I guess, he's here, but he's not here.
Ain't that a bitch...
+dudebladeX Monty isn't gone...
He's just not here right now.
+BucktoothGaming Yeah...
Well, they say you're never truly dead if someone remembers you... So let's all do our best.
monty isn't gone, hes just missing on action
Alpha sacrificed himself to make things right
Epsilon sacrificed himself to save his friends.
saddest moment in rvb :'(
@Nohbdy Felix not even close to being sad
"One of us will be forgotten." - Epsilon (Ain't that a bitch)
"The other will be wrong." - Alpha (I am a motherfuckin ghost)
they were amazing, all of them.
I can see it now "Caboose the truth"
listening to this in 2022, anybody else? Absolutely love this soundtrack
Whos here after Restoration trailer and I'm looking forward to it.
The feels are back...
why must you do this to me... ;_;
"Don't say goodbye. I hate goodbyes"
"Ain't that a bitch."
RIP in pepperoni, buddy. We'll miss you.
Well put together and beautiful as always
did anyone cry on the episode it came out on I did
Tommy Maxey me
Yup
Yep
Madela effect confirmed:
People thought caboose said: church isn't gone, he's just not here right now
What caboose actually said: I didn't find church but he's not here right now
we need a red vs blue series of church in younger years meting tex. for the first time.
Season 14 could and should do that.
YES
2 Random Guys hope it does
+Captain Forsyth I would love to see that because we already got a Felix and Locus origin story so why not a Church and Tex origin story.
Wasn't the first time they met was when Alpha saw Tex and Tex just wanted Alpha to come with her, but Alpha said no he wanted to just rest or whatever. And somehow that transpired into memories of them both being romantic with one another?
Did anyone else notice Jenkins and Palomo holding hands on the Pelican? Nice little detail to make up for that random joke they threw in earlier.
I thought I was the only one :D
Well has anyone a plan for me to feel manly again? Eating Grenades as breakdast?
+Numinex - Kevin I was planning on snorting gunpowder.
+Cor Tenebrae Pfft, I'm, going to drink nitroglycerin for like a week.
Pfft your all pussies all I eat is nuclear bombs
I knew this moment was coming but it didn't make it any easier! :'(
remember kids this is the same guy who made the doom eternal music
Manly tears.......
This should have been the end of the series, it was for me.
Legit
RIP church you and all your bodies will be remembered
I am worried about Tucker.
And caboose
+Kitty Wizard I'm worried about the same mistake that happened to Maine, then there's Carolina to worry about at first sight.
OH YEAH i forgot he isnt DEAD just into a bunch of fragments.... SHIT. Ugh. We just have to worry about all blue team.
+Kitty Wizard Nah, he's dead. He DECONSTRUCTED himself, and even if he didn't die, he wouldn't be Church, he erased his memories.
Considering Tucker is the best fighter in the Blood Gulch crew, I don't think you should be worried
*"Si muero mis piezas se reciclan"*
Clark Wayne i love you too lopez
I swear to jesus, if Season 15 wont be a continuation from the main storyline, the only proper story that is the last one chronologically, Caboose Making Guide 4 Friends.

OH GOD MY FEELS
Honestly I didn't feel much about the "Church is gonna die!" since he kinda already has before. If the monologue was just something about how these guys are great and this might be where they all die then, yeah, make me teary.
See you on the other side Church....
13 ended this... 15 bought it BACK!! heres to RVB Season 15!!
I wish we were Church, just leaving it all on our hope, our faith in our friends. Instead, we get to see the degeneration of RvB, the collapse of RT and the pulling of everything from the internet, with only dedicated fans staying reliable to the end...
Still waiting for the *actual* new RvB season
The feels!
Feels :( I can't say goodbye to Church.
Who puts these bowl of onions here?
2:57
😭 *sniff* nope, not crying 😤😧
My heart broke when he did T-T
Anyone happen to have the (piano) sheet music or a tutorial for this? I've been looking everywhere, and I'm nowhere near good enough to play by ear. There have been a few tutorials for just the Chords, but that's still missing some :( Would love help
i found mine there
Robert Carroll Stamm Thank you! 😁😁
I cried when I found out this was the end of red vs blue
Cam The camera man It's not
Two, Four, One, Ten
*drops feels on the floor* ok did what i came here to
the feels
wow why imma still not over this already...
Technically the Epsilon AI is still there so we can maybe get a new character. No more Delta, Theta, and all the initial AIs but a new one. That was the point of erasing himself, right? So that he can function properly as an AI. I'm sad because I'll miss Church but I'm excited to see what Epsilon is going to become.
Gah nothing but feels all over again :'(
so what do the numbers mean? and will caboose remember. its key....
+ricebabytran epsilon was the key, he was the memory...and now he dead...church is dead....they cant bring him back. :'o
Going to be annoying in the next few Halo games if they don't have EVA.
They're going to have to animate Tucker in every scene.
If this was Halo 4, no problem because the Green Screen, however the Meta's armour is from H3.
So if they move to H2A, Tucker, Carolina, and any others that aren't original or Washington will have to be animated in.
+Evil Paragon 2 Halo 5's Buccaneer helmet looks pretty similar to the H3 EVA helmet, though.
What happened to meta's armor?
Why must there be feels
+Hunny “Fleur” Rudd because feels here there must be.
WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME
So who gets Tuckers armor?
After this fight and they move to halo 5 or whatever, he'll probably put his old armor back in because the meta suit is t in the game. I think
+caleb horning EVA (what agent Maine wore) is in the game, but 14 is an anthology, some episodes going back to BGC.
+Michael Halpern but I doubt that the full suit is in there. Or even looks like it supposed to.
caleb horning it's there, as for design discrepancy, so long as it's close it's fine
+caleb horning Halo 5's Buccaneer helmet combined with Security or Scout armor would look pretty similar to the Meta's armor, at least more so than the EVA set.
*sniff* it's so bootyful
Wrong show
+Roman Torchwick How are you even here....
Didn't you become Grimm-chow?
Bow chicka bow wow
:'(
Permission to speak freely, sir?
Fuck that.
Hehe...
did anyone cry on the episode it came out on I did
