Face reveal y'all and also, now that I think about it...this song might be a 9/10. I'm still trying my best to comprehend what bro daisuke cooked lol. Still new to this kind of format so feel free to give feedbacks.
Also, if you're interested in let's plays w/ some music analysis sprinkle on it. I gotchu: th-cam.com/channels/1HmqVJTNhZYcsE1GVY3Fbg.html
I guess it would kinda help knowing A.B.A's lore a little lol.
I looked at reddit and saw this comment more or less explaining Saba's theme "In my opinion, the theme is ABA embracing the fact that she’s weird. The fact that people will say things negatively about her but at the same time those words could be positive or that they could view her in a positive light. It’s also saying that trying to fit in or please other people is just pointless and to just be your weird self and do your own thing." Paracelcus ,her key also tries to convince her to make bonds with other people too. I also believe the organs during the jazz break at the halfway point in the theme are a call back to her original theme "keep in gates"
Yep yep, the middle organs are from Keep in Gates and the beginning is based on her other theme, Quicksilver
That's insane! I should have kept in mind that Daisuke loves to do throwbacks although tbf I never checked out her old theme 😂 (maybe I did but I just forgot about it) but for the lyrics...damn, that makes more sense now. Being yourself and accepting your "quirky" self is right up my alley. Honestly, I should probably check her arcade mode or story mode in the older gg games, she seems so interesting. Thanks!
Dang, that comment might have been on my post where I asked if A.B.A's song was emo or not
Yes, the whole theme feel like a back and forth conversation between A.B.A and Paracelsus. Even more when you do her Arcade.
"Is she crazy" you're asking that about a character with a mode called "jealous rage" and whose primary motivation is getting a large cursed talking battleaxe a human body so she can marry him.
Daisuke is so awesome that he can make "blah blah blah-blah blah-blah blah, blah, blah" sound good
At first, he did that for the title on Zato's theme in XRD...guess it's finally used on lyrics 😂 love it tho!
The guy who made the "A B C D E F GO!" And "ZA BEES KNEEEEEEEEES"
In addition to everything other people in the comments have said, the change from "I'm just a quirky note in a symphony" to "WE'RE just quirky notes in a symphony" and "Let's journey together" may symbolize her character arc in Strive's story mode. Up until now, while she has genuinely loved Paracelcus (the key) her jealous nature has lead to a very toxic relationship, with her assuming everyone's out to take Para away from her, and her never listening to him. Despite this, that love is at least somewhat recipricated, as Paracelsus doesnt want to leave her, just wishing she would listen to him. He even admits that he hasnt been the best partner either, as the reason they partnered up in the firstplace was due to Para's bloodthirst, using ABA to participate in battle. In the end of their arcade mode, they both vow to try to better themselves and have a genuine relationship despite their natures as inhuman beings (Demon axe and Homonculus), hence the transition from the song talking only about ABA to "we", refering to ABA and Paracelsus. I can't wait to see how they expand upon these themes if ABA shows up in a future Guilty Gear game
"Even if we don't know... No, BECAUSE we don't know... We can work it out together." - Paracelsus
also fun thing to note: at the start of the arcade mode Aba talks about how her favorite color is "A blue so clear you can see into it's depths". When Paracelsus is vowing to make a better relationship, he changes his color to that same shade of blue as a symbol that they can still change. Very cute detail.
Edit: forgot to mention, while ABA's hair being made of copper may be an INSPIRATION behind her new look, the devs have stated that the in universe explanation for the change in hair color is due to Aba exploring the world around her and using fasion as a form of self expression (Source: an interview with the devs from Esports.GG)
12:00 the lyrics of “I don’t need to fit in this world” I can’t help but feel like ABA is still in extreme pain/hurt with how that drum fucking hammers away even if she believes those words.
We thought 'Drift' (Happy Chaos Theme) was Chaotic and now This comes along and smacks it out the park
Agreed! Like, I can't keep up how many genres this song has and I love it! Easily one of the best prog tracks in Strive for sure.
so abas lore is that shes an artificial life form created by someone but as she was born she lost contact with all other signs of humanity for 10 years not understand what she was or who she was and not understanding why shes conscious and has the ability to think and feel after she finds her weapon which is that key with a face thats somehow alive she becomes obsessed with it and is now trying to understand what it actually means to exist so thats why in the song they have so many random words with different meanings
Makes sense now! I was also wondering who's that big ass key she keeps holding...guess that thing is more than just a weapon. I can't believe I missed on this character's lore and story, should check her out more. Thanks!
You didn't mention that she has a obsession with keys, since that helped her escape the lab, which nagel (the key who's a demon axe) took form as since he wants to coarse the new host.
But after years it seems that he bonded with her and enjoys his time with her even without fighting and blood.
Those are the official lyrics provided by Naoki himself
Just realized that when I was reading the comments in the video 💀 but thanks! I'm glad Naoki shared the lyrics, I hope he does the same thing for the next tracks he's involved in strive!
@@AmazMusic i loved the arguments beforehand of people fighting over what the lyrics are
WE'RE MAKING IT OUT OF THE SOCIAL NORMS WITH THIS ONE!!!
YEEEAA
IM NOT HERE TO FIT IN THIS WORLD‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣
What I get from the lyrics is that ABA's been trying to fit in to society by abiding by society's virtues (Courage, Integrity,etc) she's protecting herself from society's judgment by trying to follow their virtues (an armor of words) but instead of feeling like she's fitting in and being accepted, she feels weighed down and restricted (words weave a stealthy chain), so she's given up on trying to fit in(Break out, Break out) and leaning full tilt into just being herself, embracing her qualities that everyone dislikes(Normal or not, no big deal), and screw anyone's opinion on it.
she's also one of the characters not being first designed in a game directed by Daisuke, so she's like someone trying to fit in with the cast in later game
@@linkthai1995 There is that meta angle you can go with, which I think is a little funny because she was designed by Mori and not Daisuke which you could technically say makes her a blazblue character instead
@@hongchina1873 I’ve just learned about A.B.A yesterday and felt like I’ve recognized her after so many years, and now I know it’s because of Mori’s character design style, she really is the quirky Blazblue homunculus in the GG roster lol
@@JuliaGarcia-pl5ck yep! shes the blazblue crossover character everyones been asking for. In the original, Mori even voiced Paracelsus
aba is simply a crazy ass who married a sentient key, he's fine with it
Married a key wtf 💀 alright i'm gonna check her story or arcade mode on the older games now
@@AmazMusic The key is also a demon lol. The big thing about her is she's insane, obsessed, and very jealous.
@@AmazMusic Key is actually an axe possessed by a demon of vengeance. She literally mellowed an actual demon out by being so crazy that he's basically turned himself into a key to make her happy. He's glad he gets to be more than a weapon, but he's not really cool with the 'marrying this crazy lady' thing lol
@@AmazMusicTheir arcade story is actually quite beautiful and sweet? It’s basically them finally really talking about their relationship, flaws and all. No joke, it gets emotional and is treated overall seriously because ABA has legit mental health issues and her key (Paracelsus) is sincerely trying to support her and be a good partner. It’s linked to the lyrics in her theme in the last third that become plural - cos Paracelsus promised to stay with her so she wouldn’t be alone anymore.
A.B.A is frankestain's monster, but her creator abandoned her, and left her imprisoned and alone for 10 years. She is obsessed with keys becouse of the freedom they reprecent, and that is why she loves Paracelsius (he is a living axe that changes shapes). She does not know how to interact with people, and has LOW self steam, so she gets really jelous and violent, a little toxic.
In GG strive she accepts she is toxic and tries to let Paracelcious go, but he tells her that he still loves her even if she has her moments. That is why the second half of the song she talks about "we" "we are quirky notes"!

Daisuke's songs in Strive by traditional standards for musical composition SHOULD NOT work but since he's so talented. His chaotic music is actually genius. In short Daisuke isn't following a formula, he's the guy that CREATES formula's for others.
The more you understand music whether it's instrumentals, composition, percussions, or even just basic musical theory the more you realize that Daisuke is operating at a very high level. To the average normie his songs feel chaotic and random but everything is masterfully crafted from the lyrics "BLAH BLAH BLAH" referring to ABA being childish and ignoring the virtues she brought up earlier or even listening to the drum roll around 2:11 of the song.
Dude is literally coming up with new ways to make music and new genres entirely. It's....frankly genius. No other way to describe it.
Well said. Finally someone managed to put into words just why I adore Daisuke's music so much.
Daisuke's vision everyone
yeah, I can't imagine anyone can compose crazy ass song like Let me Carve your way, Drift or Extras
I love this description holy hell, encapsulates a lot of why I’m so into his work.
Your mannerisms were really funny to see. Nice reaction.
Fantastic reaction and breakdown. Your energy and enthusiasm is so good. Really an informative vid.
Why yes Amaz, she IS crazy
That woman is nuts 💀
i love this theme song
me too! best theme for me
0:19 bro looks like Daisuke
Ain't no way 💀
People used to consider ABA a meme character and just made as a joke but her coming back to GG after 20 years just proved them all wrong lol Her axe's name is Paracelsus and he's a good bean with a very soft voice compared to ABA's rough trembly voice. He used to be bloodthirsty but changed after meeting ABA and the pair married. ABA is a good bean too but she's easily overwhelmed with powerful jealousy and love due to her nature as a homunculus (her hair used to be red but has since become green as it is made from copper) which made her very shy and lacking of confidence. Paracelsus helped her through a lot of that just by being with her and she helped him get over his own bloodthirsty nature (blood grants him power). In Strive, ABA is on a quest to try and find Paracelsus a human vessel as ABA is worried his body is deteriorating.
WOOO
Great analysis man this was fun as hell.
But has anyone told you you kinda look like Daisuke lmao?
Thanks! and there's one dude who already said it in the comments 💀
Daisuke's style is: Subtlety? Pffft, nah!
Cool
w vid
If you haven't heard GG Isuka OST, I recommend that for you to react to 😊.
I think I've heard a couple of ost's from that game, but i'll try!
it's funny, but the repeated bit near the end of "i'm not here to fit in this world, i just want to make a difference" is kinda doubly fitting, as unlike every other character in Strive, her original design back in the day wasn't made by Daisuke... she was instead designed by the guy who did later did the designs for Blazblue. so irl she wasn't really made to fit in with guilty gear (which is why her backstory doesn't really tie into anyone else, as far as i remember)
