To celebrate Fire Emblem's 30’th anniversary, I am doing a Fire Emblem character spotlight on the original protagonist of Fire Emblem, the Hero King Marth!
Marth (Mars in the anime) is a character from the Fire Emblem series of video games. He is the central protagonist and Lord-class character of the original game, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, and its sequel Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, as well as their respective remakes.
As the first Lord character in the Fire Emblem franchise and one of the first Fire Emblem characters introduced to the west through Super Smash Bros. Melee, Marth is one of the most recognizable characters in the franchise
#fireemblem #nintendo #marth
Happy 30’th anniversary, Fire Emblem!
Mangs This just made my day. I have been waiting for a Marth Spotlight for so long, and I can’t believe today of all days, Fire Emblem’s anniversary, is the day to put it up. Spectacular, Mangs. You amaze me.
The same to you too mangs.
Happy 30 years of fire emblem
Great video, Mangs.
Honestly, Marth is one of my favorite FE characters. Sure, I like him in smash and enjoy playing him in that game, but his actual character and style is what made me like him.
Plus, he was the first person in a video game I saw with the same hairstyle as me as a little kid, so that helped. lmao (...yes i still have the same hair style, except it's more like melee marth's now because of quarantine lack of haircut)
How fitting.
Marth is the hero of Fire Emblem, THE hero of Fire Emblem. His iconic blue hair and sword has been the face of the series, for three decades. A hero we've seen time and time again, and a man often overlooked. Without him, there would be no Sigurd, Seliph, Ike, Ephraim, Hector....every other lord we've come to love.
He is a man that fights alongside his friends, to save his homeland, to tackle with the dark dragon and Gharnef.
Marth is Fire Emblem. Fire Emblem is Marth. May this man never fade from our hearts.
I can't believe marth directly caused the death of Hector!
And yet he doesn't have s brave alt in fire emblem heroes.
Miciah is shit.
WAIT
MARTH’S A B O Y ?
@@riftheraldtv1228 to be fair
He was in 3rd place
But we all knew everyone was gonna go for the Three Houses characters
But it is pretty impressive that he managed to receive more votes than 98% of the men and three houses cast
I feel like saying marth is a "generic sword lord" is pretty much completely unwarranted since he's the guy who started that stereotype. I dont think it's fair to knock marth for being what we now consider to be the normal, since he's what started it all and didnt have anybody else to go off of.
Good work on the video, mangs! It was amazing!
But all of them generic sword lord are pretty bad for me. :p
Marth, Roy, Eliwood, Chrom these ones are pretty boring. And if I like Sigurd and Ike there aren't the same archetype of that young noble sword user kind with everyone.
@@Haarwyvern
Chrom is nothing like Marth or Eliwood: they are 2 entirely different hero archetype. One group is more hawkish and the other is more peace seeking. Chrom is the former trope, always seeking out a fight like his warlike father before him.
That's why I say he's a Classic ;)
Even if he is the one that started it, he still doesn't get excused especially since Shadow Dragon and New Mystery could've added more to him to make him nit so generic.
@@dantemustdie00 I think you aren't getting the point here. HE started the trend. When Marth was introduced, that was not an Archetype. Therefore, it literally could not have been generic. To address your other idea, I think they did the right thing keeping him the same. Changing his character just so that he could stand out from characters that were BASED ON HIM just doesn't make sense
Ah Marth, hero of Fire Emblem: Melee. Under the tutelage of his mentor, Ken, he fought against the foxaketes, who could kill anybody with their shine magic. He fought valiantly, and eventually defeated the king of the foxaketes, Captain Medealcon, and killed his hype for 2 decades. With his legendary sword, the Twoforwardairsandaspike, he was nearly unbeatable. Marth’s my favourite.
I wish we smash funny men did not have this one singular joke
Let’s dance!
0/10 no mention of his massive grab range.
@DoorBladder
It’s what he used to kill them.
That feeling when Mangs did more than Nintendo themselves for their 30th anniversary of their own franchise.
They probably planned something but certain real world events forced whatever was planned to be postponed
Dare to dream.
@@Jack-hi1hq let's hope that's true and that we'll get something when things start to calm down a bit I find that IS are a bit lazy or underwhelming when it comes to celebrating their series
Hey celebration or not, I'm just glad Nintendo still makes these games.
Metroid fans: "First time?"
The ending of FE3 is actually pretty sad if you think about it. Marth probably just wanted a peaceful life in Altia with Caeda but because of the second war, he felt like he had no choice but to step up and be responsible for everything and rule an entire empire as Hero-King. He gave up his home and a more stress-free life just to ensure that the peace was permanent this time.
I think that best exemplifies Marth's personality, he never places himself above anyone else, not his friends nor his people. He's one of the truest heroes in the series.
What makes it not so sad for Marth is Caeda, in fact. Despite all the stress that comes to him for being the new leader, he has Caeda by his side to help and confront him. Any doubt or worry can be eased by the love that Caeda brings for him.
@@ethanc.1443 very true
9:13 “but sadly it wouldn’t be the last battle Marth fought.” Oh yes, not even close, he still has:
- War of Heroes (FE3/12)
- War between Askr & Embla (Heroes) (5 SEPERATE TIMES counting alts)
- Dragalia Lost war
- Code name STEAM war
- Wars involving Ylisse (FE13
- War between Hoshido & Nohr (FE14)
- War of Valentia (FE15) (as a summon)
- War in Fire Emblem Warriors
- Subspace Emissary (Brawl)
- World of Light (Ultimate)
This poor man must be grateful that Chrom got casted for TMS #FE as the lead instead. He probably hates the Marth amiibo for basically doubling his work.
I don't count any beyond the 1st cannon, lol
Spoilers for TMS#FE, but... um...
....
...
....
Shortly before the Medius fight, Marth does show up. Ish.
Toky Mirage Sessions: *gets announced.*
Marth: *sighs* Caeda? Where's my falchion? (please tell me Garnef didn't steal it again...)
Chrom: Don't worry gramps. You've earned a break.
Marth: Thank Naga. Me and my wife can just rela- Caeda why do you have your wingspear?
And then he's summoned at the end of TMS
@Mangs I believe Fates mentions that the Smash versions of the characters are different people. It was definitely Smash Marth who joined Abraham Lincoln's Old One-slaying special forces.
My opinion on Marth ever since Melee will always be that he's criminally underrated. People often called Roy the cooler looking Lord back then, but when I played Shadow Dragon for the first time; I realized that he was way more than just a dude with a Sword.
Where Roy looked cool, Marth in his actual game struggled emotionally and often put himself down despite being 3 years older than Roy. Whereas Roy was confident, and somehow didn't carry emotional baggage after seeing Hector die. Heroes may have improved Roy personality-wise, but Marth was an emotional character from the very beginning.
This comment isn't meant to attack Roy, but since these two were meant to light the franchise's fire in the rest of the world; Marth came to be an amazing Lord that I could definitely see myself in. Hence why I'll always appreciate him, even if his game wasn't technically the first to be released worldwide.
Here's to many more years of Fire Emblem to come, and thanks to Marth for giving them to us.
Marth, personality-wise is the best in Shadow Dragon. I liked the conversations in that game a lot. If you pay attention to everything he says you see that he has a lot of character.
In Shadow Dragon he's a kind young man but not weak and naive. I don't like him that much in New Mystery though.
Roy will never be the cooler, he does not even have blue hairs ;) He is only our boy, not a main FE lord period.
Tbf, in some of Roy's supports, it is revealed that confidence he has during the war, was only a facade to hide his growing depression and struggle as he tries to realistically win a war without casualties. He has to be strong because everyone looks up to him and places their expectations in him to see through the end.
Admittedly, he could have gotten more fleshed out (From what I heard, the raw Japanese translation had more 'uniqueness' in his dialogue) and it didn't help that his portrait was *fixed*. That aside, he had meaningful conversations with Guiniverre which made him feel more down to earth in a sense. This is just my 2 cents on Roy's part but I do wholeheartedly agree about Marth
I remember when people used to mess with Marth because "he looks gay, he loves Roy, Ike is the real man" when Marth is married, 3 women love her, he's one of the most epic heroes in the franchise and he has an amazing tale during his 2 games. Happy birthday Fire Emblem
Funnily enough Ike is the most dubious of the three considering his story with Soren
Ike is likely gay and that makes him great. Him and Ranulf are so cute together.
It is stated time and again that Ike is someone who "treats his friends like family." I think the reason he is close to Soren and Ranulf is because they are the two people closest to him who are of different races (Branded and Laguz) and Ike is meant to be someone who brought people of all races together.
I personally find the people who are claiming he is "gay" are looking way too far into it.
@@Tyeタイ shh dont do that you are about to start a literal fucking war lmao
@@Tyeタイi dare you to say that on twitter and live
Marth literally the fire emblem equivalent to king Arthur at his height
Jesse Willason Pretty much.
@@Malhonn I like to joke that Arthur has more in common with his table than his knights because his purpose is bringing it all together.
@@Malhonn Not even true though
you know what actually, marth is literally the arthur of fire emblem
Difference is Marth's dynasty lasted for centuries and is still going, while Arthur's reign was cut short.

This is the video Marth needed. No. What Fire Emblem needed for it's 30th Anniversary. Thank you for your hard work, Mangs.
And of course, thank you Fire Emblem for staying around for all these years.
"Let them all go?? But MAAAAARS"

Marth is one my favorite characters in fire emblem I met marth when I got smash bros brawl and later I got shadow dragon and than marth become one of my favorite lords in fire emblem history so I glad I got into fire emblem I love this series so much happy 30th anniversary fire emblem
Another bit of trivia: his original name is Mars, like the Roman god of war. However, due to how the Japanese script works, the translation of his name Mars is マルス - Ma-ru-su. As his name got translated back to English, the translation team got his name wrong and rather than being translated back to Mars it became Marth since 'su' can also be a stand in for a 'th' sound. Strangely enough, the anime got his name correct with Mars, but Marth seems like a more natural name for him that he claims well.
Marth's falchion is even the symbol that represents fire emblem in smash.
Oh wow! You're right! lol
Marth is most well known for his titular phrase "jeigan torch."

@@Malhonn I'm sorry for asking this but could you tell me where the joke came from cause I don't know.
@@carlosjuarez6675 It's from an old webcomic(?), you can find the whole thing here: shaym.in/fe1/chapter1.html
@@Malhonn Thanks!
I love this video,but I think a bit more can be said about Marth's personality. It's best shown in Shadow Dragon, especially in the chapter he takes back his homeland. After taking back Altea he says to Nyna "I thought there would be something. Some remnant of my old life to come back to. But there's nothing." This is one of the best examples of Marth's more hidden somber side. This, along with other examples like how he speaks to Jagen on the boat at the end of the prologue of how he feels about losing his home, and Nyna's mentioning of how she sees how he feels sorrow at every fallen ally but bears through it. All of these together paint a picture of someone with a sad, heartbreaking life. But also someone who can persevere through it.
As he keeps going through all of what life throws at him. A large majority of that driven by his sense of duty. Anyone can write a character and say "this guy's very duty-bound." But the writing for Marth, especially in shadow dragon, shows it beautifully. The best example of this is, again, shown in the Shadow Dragon Altea chapter. Despite the hollow victory, the pain he feels, the sadness that fills him, Marth insists on addressing his people. At this point, he states "I am a prince before I am a son or a brother" That is the best moment to show his hidden sorrow and his strong sense of duty. And for that, I think Marth's a pretty damn good character. Classic, as you said.
FINALLY!! Someone who understands!! I love Marth in Shadow Dragon.
I like how he responds to Astram when he threatens to behead Marth and how after Malledus gives him a history lessen he responds with "I do know my history you know.
Also when Nyna reveals her love for Camus he says "I won't make any promises but I'll do what I can" I hate it when protagonists make dumb promises so that made me like him more.
And at one point in the game Marth explains how he hated Gra and Grust but he never once thought about what was going through their heads. He still hates them but he says that hate isn't all he feels for them anymore.
There's just a lot of little things that he says in Shadow Dragon that really make me like him. Too bad they messed him up in New Mystery.
@@dhisufiroafrozenseraphimdragon I don't think I'd say they messed him up in new mystery. He definitely lost some of the limelight to the avatar and had generally lower quality dialogue, which is a bit of a shame. But he still had some good moments. Like when general Lang accuses him of ordering Ogma to steal Yubello and Yumina and Marth insists he didn't but assures Lang that he wishes he did. Aside from that, I can't recall anything that was really a betrayal of his character in New Mystery. Perhaps I'm not remembering correctly, though.
It's also worth mentioning that Marth is courageous in the battlefield, but not with the ladies - it took him a lot to confess his love to Sheeda/Caeda
@@crawfy48 Understandable.
In the Smash Bros Brawl Main Theme, there's a lyric that reveres a hero that went through enemy lines and fought for his homeland. I've always felt that this was a reference to Marth, since it doesn't apply to any other character in that game nearly as much. For me this is what Marth represents: the courage to fight for what he belives is right, always with the help of the people that trust him.
Happy birthday, Hero King.
I am surprised with how long you’ve been doing the character spotlights that you hadn’t done Marth until now but I would rather have this uploaded on the anniversary than some random day
With the Falchion at his hand, "the blade that can pierce dragon scales", and carrying the Fire Emblem itself, Marth it's truly the OG Lord
My favorite FE character finally got his spotlight!
Yay!!
Marth, a name that has sadly been tainted a bit by the smash community. We should always remember this iconic character and his journey, they started something truly special. Happy 30th anniversary to Fire Emblem!
FE as a whole was sadly tainted by the toxic side of Smash fanbase. It's a massive shame because this series is arguably up there with Mario and Zelda as one of Nintendo best franchises. And yet what does it get in return? A bunch of salty Smash fans that are needlessly upset over their biases not being catered to.
Now, I'm not saying nobody should raise an eyebrow over the FE representation in Smash Bros. Even I do have issues with it now that I know so much about this series (and no, it's not the swords or the quantity of characters I have issues with). But to write off the entire franchise just because Nintendo tasked Sakurai maybe one too many characters from the series feels needlessly unfair.
@@LoudToon99 while i understand where your coming from
You shouldn't generalize an entire community.
After all, no one here would like that done to them
And while some smash players may complain and yes that is annoying, It is in fact due to the success of smash bros and strength of the smash community that fire emblem finally got its foot in the west
And why we're able to enjoy these games today
Why not be thankful for that instead of expressing hate?
@@yurieshicatay6309 My apologies. It's just remembering all the crazy FE gets from Smash Bros fans irks me (especially after the whole Byleth backlash disaster). And despite my issues with how FE is represented in Smash (prior to Byleth, which represented Three Houses amazingly) and the toxic side of the Smash fanbase being obnoxious, I am happy that with Super Smash Bros Melee, Nintendo got confident that Fire Emblem could appeal to western audiences. And even though it took the series until Awakening to reach more mainstream audiences, FE wouldn't have been where it is today without Super Smash Bros.
@@LoudToon99 trust me i understand
And i feel where your coming from
It is annoying
Marth more like barf
I’m sorry yeah you’re right the smash fandom is kinda ass
Gotta say I do like Marth a lot. He just gets kinda overshadowed by characters with bolder personalities (Hector, Ike, Claude etc.) Also I really like how Lucina draws strength from his legend and even adopts his identity to give herself the courage she needs to complete her mission. He is a true role model.
Marth's constantly altering strength/usefulness in his games is actually kinda funny to me, cause in fanfiction he's either written as a prissy whiner or a humble, down-to-earth prince; there is NO in-between.
Some will say Marth is a "Generic sword lord" but they need to know one thing he is THE "generic sword lord". He can't be "another" because he is the original.
0:45 damn never realized Caeda was that thicc
Pegasus thighs, man. Pegasus Thighs

@Ced von Noish Was that confirmed somewhere?
I know you worked really hard on this, it turned out really good ^^!
That awko taco moment when Mangs does for for the anniversary than IS...
I believe that they did have plans for a FE expo but because of the the virus it was cancelled till may.
We got pantless marth, literally the greatest thing IS could ever do.
@@EverydayYounglife Mobile game releases aren't exactly the most exciting thing for an anniversary. It'd be like if Final Fantasy turned 40, and all Square Enix did was say "look guys, we made a Warrior of Light alt in Brave Exvius to celebrate!"
I love how there is no mention of Kris in the FE3/FE12 summary. 10/10
Kris from what I observed feels like an afterthought. Sure, they started the avatar trend FE would take from then on, but Robin and Byleth massively did that aspect better (we don't talk about Corrin, at least in Fates). Heck, even Intelligent Systems forgets they exist.
@@LoudToon99 Alex Ramirez Personally, Byleth is the only one that I think is done semi-well (mostly since he doesn't talk, he has an actual design that's preset, and everyone doesn't immediately start sucking his dick the moment he meets them). Intelligent Systems always makes the mistake of making the avatar a "super god self insert that everybody adores and can do no wrong".
I mean Kris did ask to be left out of history.
@@custom-r That's the most trite, lazy way to force a new character in, though. "Oh, Kris wasn't in the original Mystery because he didn't want to be remembered! This is the TRUE story!"
Honestly, I think it would have been really cool if Kris turned out to be working with Gharnef or something, kinda like Katarina with her assassin's group. Then, all of his forced dialogue defending/praising Marth would make sense, because he's trying to worm his way in to his inner circle. Imagine a Fire Emblem game that actively *takes the avatar away from you* and makes them a villain that you have to fight instead. The player is theoretically supposed to connect and identify with the avatar character the most out of the whole cast, so it would be a pretty crazy plot twist. It would also explain why he was "left from history", there could be something about Marth trying to forget the betrayal and bury it, so that he only has good memories of his former friend.
@@Jordan3DS That's not a bad idea. Also thank you for not purely dunking on Kris like everyone else.
I feel while Awakening partly did what you're talking about, Kris being the one to be used against the main party would be an interesting new idea. I mean it's one the series never really did commit to, at least as far as I know. Perhaps a Mystery remake would do that.
"Marth's biggest strength isn't his ability to fight, but how much he inspires loyalty in the soldiers around him."
Now someone needs to make a romhack where he's replaced by Kamina. Your Wing Spear is the Wing Spear that will pierce the heavens!
Let me say this marth is my favorite male lord I just hope he wins choose your legend 5.
He should I'd say they are running out of super popular lords and he's gotten 3rd every time
@@TheMaster4863 yup 100% agree for the love of naga give him a cyl5 alt damn XD.
Nah we gotta get through 1,000,000 TH winners
The ridiculous thing is that he would have made it into top 2 for males in the first CYL, but they split the votes between games, so half the votes were for Shadow Dragon Marth and the other half were for Mystery Marth. Pretty unfair, especially considering that Fates is *3* games and they all counted as one vote.
@@Jordan3DS That makes a lot of sense since the only lord who can really stand up to Marth in overall popularity is Ike and he's already won
So this is the last Character Spotlight we will get from this channel... how fitting to be Marth. Too bad we didn't get any Spotlight from the lords of 3 Houses.
The lord to start it all
It kinda sucks that Nintendo didn't celebrate FE's 30th anniversary better. Only through save states and mobile games. I think this series deserves better.
I agree, although how would they celebrate it? A new game announcement would be asking too much, but I guess it would be cool if they had made a video showing every game in the series or something. It also could have been cool to see the modern higher ups playing the original Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light on Famicom and talking about its history and trivia regarding it.
I also love how you used your SD Ironman run for showing Marth defeating Medeus on Shadow Dragon, I cant forget that 18 damage just enough to finish the run.
happy birthday fire emblem!!! to the series that makes me feel a whole spectrum of emotions!
Finally some love for our boy. Thank you
I absolutely love this series! I am excited for more character spotlights + their story coverage
An amazing tribute to our sweet beloved blue boi! Although I'm kinda sad that this event was completely overlooked by Nintendo outside of Heroes, this made it all better. After all, who better to focus this day on than Mr. Fire Emblem himself! Marth goes way past just being the face of Fire Emblem. He basically is the essence of Fire Emblem. Here's to 30 great years and hopefully many more than 30 lot to come! Oh and Happy birthday Lucina, the girl who reignited a dying flame and made it possible for FE to really have a 30th anniversary.
I suppose it's only fitting that a descendant of the man who started the flame would be the one to reignite it lol
No matter who comes into the series, marth will always be the face of fire emblem
We’ll said ⚔️🛡
7:44 Actually, Gotoh was the one who taught Gharnef (and Miloah, Linde's father) magic.
Shadow Dragon was my first FE game, and Marth my first Lord. And he'll always be the epitome of what a Lord should be: Just, honorable, compassionate when needed, and always ready to fight for his allies. Long Live The Hero-King!
You could've said more about Marth's personality. In Shadow Dragon I quite like his character. He's more than just a "Nice guy" in that game.
Look the guy from Smash!
Jk Happy Anniversary FE.
It's always nice to see all the information summed up into a single video. Really enjoyable 💙
I always liked him for his gentlemanly demeanor and fighting style. It contrasts with the overdone macho badass protagonists that are used in many of today’s rpgs
There's mistake when the Gotoh part being explained. Gotoh is not a student alongside Gharnef, he is Gnarnef teacher. Gotoh's students is Gharnef and Miloah, the Aura tome user and the father of Linde.
Young boy marth aka Mr.
"MINNA MITE ITE KURE" which translates "EVERYONE PLEASE WATCH" Marth is and always will be my #1 favorite character on all ssb ❤😂
It’s very hard to do this spotlight justice, but I think you nailed it!
Happy 30th anniversary!
Finally! I've been waiting for this character spotligh for a very long time! Nicely done, Mangs!
So that's why there's still no Marth spotlight. This makes sense now.
I would love an anime for FE 1/3 and I'd love for them to give Marth his Shadow Dragon personality.
"...as Marth heads towards his homeland, Danved's shoulder." 6:21
Nick Bullinger no! It’s Mekkah
Ah, Marth, one of Nintendo's unsung mascots. It's such a shame that he has a terrible reputation these days thanks to Smash. Marth will forever be an iconic video game character, and no amount of salt can change that.
I mean smash is the reason why franchise became popular
OMG the first spotlight on a smash character , thanks Mangs
He already did spotlights on Ike, Roy, and Lucina though :P
Roy Ike Lucina and Robin: Am I a joke to you
The Archanea series is my favorite of the series. Marth is my favorite lord in the series with Leif being very close. Good Job!
Yeah I like Archanea a lot too.
I love Marth. Because of Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon I was introduced in this gread franchise (it was my first Fire Emblem game and the first Let's play on TH-cam I watched was about this game). I like to play it even to this day (I started a run recently).
So, what can I say? Without this blue haired guy I wouldn't never know such nice people like Hector or Eliwood (love them too!). Yeah, Fire Emblem will be a part in my life forever!
This was wonderful to watch, and perfect for the anniversary (I know I’m late, I just happened to find this amazing video today). Thank you for this much needed recognition for Marth. I, too, have loved him since Melee/Brawl and bought Shadow Dragon myself. He is most definitely a Classic, and I don’t find him to be generic at all. He does have personality and quite the intense background that keeps you on your toes. Thank you so much for this again ❤️
This was a really enjoyable spotlight. Happy 30'th anniversary, Fire Emblem! Here's to my favorite franchise!
Oh wow, interesting timing; playing Shadow Dragon right now (quite literally as well, just finished chapter 2). I’m tempted to watch, but I don’t want to get spoiled either... Good luck on the ironman btw, much as I laugh, also makes me happy to see you beat an ironman.
when he said it was going to be complicated and long i knew it had to be marth. he's the only one that could take this much effort
i always liked Marth, sure he isn't the best or the most interesting, but he is extremely solid as a stand alone character, comparing him to other lords, more so lords that are completely different from him, like Edelgard, only serves to make both character more unique.
Marth goes through great development in Shadow Dragon, his development in that game is overlooked too much, he's more than just a good boy. Even in New Mystery of the Emblem, some of that development still pertains. Look here: www.reddit.com/r/fireemblem/comments/863a2i/fire_emblem_power_level_analysis_marth/
@@ethanc.1443 oh these look neat, thanks for linking me, but yeah i always liked marth.
Marth to me kind of is good enough for what he needs to be.
Ike is a far stronger character but that also means he can overshadow the rest from time to time.
3 minutes after posting for the 30th anniversary. I like those 3’s
Also known as that blue haired swordsman who debut in Melee along with that red haired one & the source of all other reps in Smash
Great video mangs! Btw for your next character could you perhaps do Hardin ?
Been waiting for this spotlight for a long time and it was worth the wait. As always great job Mangs. This was an awesome way to celebrate Fire Emblem.
I gonna be honest, I got interested on him after seing certain smash players doing some stylish combos on Melee and Smash 4 (pls buff Marth on Ultimate), but I ended up liking him a lot after knowing him. He also is the original "Marth lord" and a lot of the lords of the series follow this archeotype, even the recent ones. So is nice to see a spotlight on him, also he survived a Mangs Ironman.
There is a tale, a tale that has been pass down generation after generation. A tale that has been told throughout the world. From the continent of Ylisse to the distant land of Askr.
This is the tale of a boy whose great and selfless deeds earned him the title of hero. A boy that became a great king who ruled fair and wise, A Hero King.
This is the tale of a great war.
A tale of a Dark dragon bent on conquering the world and a hero who fought the darkness wielding the Legendary Blade Falchion.
This is the tale of Fire Emblem.
Marth is the Hashirama Senju of Fire emblem.
2:40 Heh, I see what you did there. I'm a Zelda fan, you can't fool me so easily :P
I just started Shadow Dragon - thank you for the awesome prologue!
My first Fire Emblem experiences were with the GBA games, so I ended up meeting Marth in Smash Bros. Brawl. While I ended up as more of an Ike guy (can't say no to a badass merc that carries zweihanders with one hand and can channel blue fire!), things changed when it comes to the OG lord.
From playing the DS games, knowing more about his story, and also giving him a spin not only in Smash, but also in other games like FEH and Dragalia Lost, my respect for the Hero-King ended up growing a lot. Marth is a legend, and thanks to him, a great series of videogames was born.
Thanks for doing this spotlight, and happy birthday to Fire Emblem and Marth!
On this day, I guy with no pants...
XD even though I'm 13 and I haven't played the first Fire Emblem game, I heard of it and was informed Marth was young and pants didn't fit him XD
Marth was never a favorite of mine, but this spotlight made me like him a bit more, still not a favorite but he's getting to the top.
Awesome video, loved every bit of it !
But you were so close doing a 30min spotlight on Marth for the 30th anniversary Mangs...
I recently read an old interview with Kaga (translated at Shumpulations) and he said "I don’t consider Marth to be the protagonist either, except in the sense that if he dies, it’s game over. It’s totally fine to see the story as revolving around the particular characters that you’re partial to.". The same interview also says Hardin and Lena were fan favourite characters which makes FE3 book 2 pretty bold I feel. The 1994 with Shouzou Kaga and Hironobu Sakaguchi (creator of Final Fantasy) also featured on Shumpulations is another good read (if less interesting in regarding to what Fire Emblem is trying to accomplish).
I just fed Marth a ton of Speedwings and the final battle was a breeze. I don’t think he got hit even twice.
Hikaru Midorikawa will always be the true Marth in my eyes
Thank you Mangs for this Spotlight
Thank you fire emblem for all the memories. Happy birthday! 🎈🎁🎂🎊🎉
But Maaaaangs, you forgot to mention Kris and Katarina and how integral they were to shaping Marth as a character!
Am I blind or is Ephraim missing from the picture of all the FE lords at the end of the video?
Charles Smith strange as he is probably the best lord we’ve had in any game.
yep he's not in that picture
Blue Version That’s because Eirika is the stand in for Sacred Stones. Just like how Lyn and Hector aren’t in it either. Because Eliwood is the stand in for Blazing Sword.
Great video as always! You should do Raven from FE7 next!
This is by far your best video
Nice spotlight, here's to 30 and hopefully 30 more
I really got a connection to marth, as i played shadow dragon when i was 8 years old, and as a nerd kid who was into strategy games like final fantasy tactics i feel in love, also, i liked his tiara as it meant he really doesnt care about wearing femenine things and actually has a femenine/knighty aura to him
Happy that this was the first spotlight video of yours I decided to watch. Excellent video and I'm glad that I decided to start watching your videos more a month or two back. Keep it up!
You did our boy justice Mangs, mad props
marth is one of my favorite characters in the whole series
Great effort Mangs, loved it!
The character spotlight on Marth is so cool! After all he's the one who started it all!

This was such a pleasant surprise, Mangs. Thank you so much for doing this.
On a side note
WHERE'S LYN'S SPOTLIGHT AT!?
Happy 30th Anniversary Birthday
FIRE EMBLEM.
Mangs and thank you for like the favorite hero Marth.
Amazing spotlight Mangs, I loved it! Happy 30th Birthday Fire Emblem!
Aye, the legend who started it all, for the legend 30th!
Happy 30th birthday Fire Emblem, here's to many more, and many more wonderful characters, interesting maps, and wonderful lore!
Thanks for your hard work Mangs, that was truly a treat to watch and makes me really appreciate this awesome franchise.
Shadow Dragon was the first Fire Emblem game I played. I enjoyed it greatly and a lot of that had to do with Marth. I like his story, it feels like I am reading about a real person in history at times. I have played through Shadow Dragon 4 times and in my two hard five runs he has been one of the cores of my army. Marth will always hold a place in my heart for getting me into Fire Emblem.
Awhile back I was bouncing around characters in smash trying to find someone I liked and I couldn't find one that I felt a connection with. I landed on cloud for awhile in smash 4 but after I played Shadow Dragon I started to main Marth and I still main him in Ultimate.
