Parents: It’s not even real, bro! Me: Actually, you will grow old one day and existence will become painful. Every movement will cause aching pain, you’ll lose your sight and your hearing. All of your friends will die before you. Your family will forget you exist. But be not afraid; the only real horror story will be what happens in that bathroom… You will make the Nowhere King look good…
@@IsaiahRichards692 Not to mention, even if they don't say or show it, many elderly people have things they hate. The Nowhere kings whole thing is hate.
One thing I love about this scene which I don't feel like they really capitalize on later is the fact that his very existence looks painful for him, yknow with the coughing and creeking and all. Really adds to a sorta sense of unease.
Oh yes, he's definitely suffering, which makes sense considering he basically mutated and rotted/degenerated into this form. That's probably why he chose to remain a shapeless mass that was all spread out before Horse and Rider showed up, it probably hurt less.
I think that was actually the reason he started eating minotaur's at least in S2. He didn't have anything to eat in years and while probably didn't technically need to, he still may have suffered from the feeling of starvation.
The thing is, I think it teaches a good lesson. The world is not all fun and games, and while children don't need to be exposed to the full extent of how bad some things are, this is a good way to get first contact with evil. Or better, that there is no good or evil, everyone thinks they are in the right. It's a wonderful tale of the duality of a person.
Especially considering except for a kinda weird part earlier where some flowers sing this the show was COMPLETELY CHILD FRIENDLY, shit went from 0 to 100 real heckin fast

A lot of lullabies were warnings, mockeries of current events, or folklore tales. So it's very fitting that they tied a lullaby to the nowhere king given its a direct warning given in a very gentle format
Horse’s reaction when she shakes her head side to side is such an appropriate reaction to seeing a deer-wasp hybrid sludge tumor eldritch horror appear from literally nowhere.
@@CollinMcLean Acutally people not exposed to hard situations are the ones that are more weak and pathethic. That's what happens when people are coddled. Trauma is how people laern. Learn to make the best of it.
@@VeldazandteaI really don’t like that idea. Like yeah being coddled is bad, but using trauma to learn is probably worse. Your basically hurting someone and expecting them to get back up from it, which can backfire hard.
I think that the most unsettling thing about this, more than the S-tier entrance and horrifying lullaby is that he looks so uncanny compared to the rest of the animation. Even the grimdark human world looks like centaurwolrd next to his detail and animation. It's like the uncanny valley staring back with hatred.
@@wastelandlegocheemNo offense, but he ain't Lovecraftian. Maybe inspired aesthetics, but that's it. He has all too human motivations, nothing incomprehensible about him.
This is, one of the smartest and also one of my favourite scenes in the show. We hear, the lullady about the nowhere king without actually seeing him and when he appears we see a black viscous liquid getting gathered,then we see the skull and slowly his six insect legs are appearing while he is trying to stand up and when he does he says 'yyyooouuu'. And there it is one of the greatest villains appearences for one of the greatest new villains of all time. To bad the show was short
You literally described what we just saw in the video without explaining why it's smart or why its your favourite. I think you wanted to give a real analysis of the scene but then just.... didn't? Bit weird, but I agree with you it is an incredible villain reveal.
@@rustyshackleford2950 Yeah that's close to what happened. When Netflix saw how good the show was with audiences they tried to rush out the second season as quickly as possible (this was still in the middle of COVID mind you) so the production team had to work fast. Which is probably why the 2nd season seems compressed compared to the 1st one. It definitely would've benefited from a third season or at least maybe 5 more episodes but it's still a rock solid season even if it had a few cracks. It's Dragon Prince the sequel, Netflix screwing up timetables and making the show team work extra hard to get things done.
As a parent, I put this show on because it looked obnoxiously adorable like ecstasy meets ACID at a MyLittlePony con. But then this scene happened reminding us of a weird mash up of Inky Bendy and the Beast from Over The Garden Wall..... and that freaking lullaby. I don't think we're gonna have very nice dreams for a while.
I can explain that. But it does require me to spoil the finale. So SPOILERS Short version. He got too much exposure to the portal magic, and his flesh turned into goo, and his skin peeled off. On screen. Longer version. The Nowhere King used to be elktaur. He was both a man and an elk at the same time. He fell in love with mysterious woman. But because of how people were treating him because he was an elktaur, and not human. He felt that he couldn’t be loved if he stayed within his current body. So he used the key to the portal to cut himself into two. He thought that he would be the human, but turns out he was the elk. His human half went on to marry the mysterious woman, and become a general. Well the nowhere king had to live his life on the run, as his human half wanted him to suffer. Eventually, he gets stuck between the portals. But he also had the key to the portals. He uses the magical key to turn a bunch of other creatures into centaur’s, raising an army. Every single time he used that key, the more of his flesh would peel off (this is shown on screen by the way). His insides turned into black goo. Until only his skull remained. The rest of his body was just black goo. Which ultimately turned him into the scary creature that is seen in this clip.
He wasn’t always this; he used magic to try and turn himself human (he was originally an elktaur/centaur) to try and woo a princess. But the experiment failed, and his human half tried to kill him first then trapped him for like 10 years in depravity. Humans wouldn’t accept him and he couldn’t return to Centaur world. He had no friends or family and felt like he belonged “nowhere.” So he started creating Minotaurs to build himself a family. But each time he used the key to create monsters, he lost more of himself. He basically became corrupted by hatred and deteriorated into this.
The little pause when the tar drops to the ground is what makes it. There's a "Wait- is..." moment just before the song kicks in, confirming that *this* is the creepy thing that we've been getting a build up to.
i got you pal here are the lyrics ;) Hush now, hide, all you little ones Rush now, into the middle of nowhere Singing and laughter will die Dreamless sleep, follows the Nowhere King When his kingdom comes, darkness is nigh Quiet, crawl to the in-between Silent, secretive feeling Of fearsome hatred that reaches the skies You will bring joy to the Nowhere King When he sees the light leaving your eyes
Honestly this is super tame compared to older stuff. Like, it atleast has a clear indicator of True danger vs Weird silly humor. You cant tell those two things apart in courage or cat-dog. There is just nightmarish immegary of the characters supposed to be the "good" thing.
Of all the traumatizing kids shows I’ve seen in my lifetime, (stuff like Owl House, Amphibia, Gravity Falls) I think Centaurworld has the most genuine nightmare fuel out of all of them. Just imagine watching this scene as a seven year old. You get through what was a mostly light-hearted friendly musical cartoon, and are greeted with this show. His grotesque body, his long spidery legs, his all consuming black ooze. His skull head that seems to be staring straight out of the tv at the viewer with a skeletal grin and two lifeless backs voids in place of eyes. All of this while an extremely eerie song plays that tells you that this a creature of pure hatred and nightmares and that nothing would make this monstrosity happier than to watch the life fade from your eyes. I dunno about you guys, but I’d probably wait until my child was at least 12 before showing them this.
I honestly think a 6 year old would be able to watch this. They're stronger than you realise, I've grown up fearing the tales, only to start loving them at age 8 after only a year or two. And if they are scared, they're a wuss
Yeah, listen. It's a lot more terrifying watching this as a parent because I'm expecting to be on nightmare comfort duty for the next week, but then my spawnlings go buck wild wanting to see it over and over again. My creepy af six year old keeps singing this freaky lullaby to himself when he goes to bed now. I'm the one that need comfort therapy not them.
Reminder: This is the same show where a kleptomaniac, a idiot who talks to his farts, and a narcissistic zebra follow a traumatized adoption mother alpalca and a horse who hates/loves all of them
This guy was by far the most disgusting and also intriguing antagonist in a cartoon show that I've ever seen. His entire introduction in this scene both in physical appearance and the earie lullaby meant to be for him feels like an amalgamation of unease that's meant to leave its audience speechless, and that's what I love about his character.
A B+ show with an S+ villain. Hyped up perfectly and in so small amounts you have no idea. When they're in the in between, it's "oh FUCK what are they going to do oh God oh fuck" The backstop is unique and incredibly sympathetic. THIS is how you sympathy villain. He's he did wrong, yes he needs to die, but you can see the path to villainy. It's not just that he stumbled upon a wacky relic, he came across a human that caused him to fall into it. Absolutely wonderful.
He's like the answer to "what if old timey cartoons existed, but wanted to be taken seriously?" What monster could their lovecraftian magic conjure? What nightmares could such dark powers harold?
This guy reminded me of the first time I saw the proper introduction to The Lich in adventire time. Cold, unbridled fear that kept me thinking about it for weeks. SO COOL!!!
When I finally gave in and watched this show after numerous compilations of a random specific character, I had seen nothing other than those videos to really gain an overview of wtf this show was. So, obviously I had no idea there was *ever* going to be something so jarring in the show to begin with. Sure, the opening was bad ass and some of the topics were definitely heavy in the first season, but nothing had prepared me for this moment. This very scene quite literally made me sit at the edge of my seat, and it truly made me appreciate not spoiling myself beyond a few videos of Glendale being weird. And when the second season came out, I sat down and watched it till end in almost a single sitting. This show is truly an underrated gem, even if it felt like it could've had more run time in the second season.
I love how they get to the lyrics "reaches the sky" hus horns start to grow to like half his body length, almost as if the Nowhere King is reaching for the sky.(with his horns)
My nephew was watching this show and I never really cared for it since I saw it as a child show that wouldn't live up to things like Adventure Time and stuff The first episode I saw with him was this episode. And immediatly Nowhere King and his theme bumped up to one of my favorite in fiction
I just watched this show again for the millionth time and just realized something! This scene he says, "You!" The nowhere king knows horse because he met her in the past when he was first in the gate... he said the same thing when he was able to detect her through the past thoughts. Just like Hodor in Game of Thrones. Crazy I never seen this before but it was so subtle. This is also like how Bran went back in time and the Night King (did I get that right, it's been so long) seen him and noticed him... he went to see how the Night King was created.
Hush now, hide, all you little ones Rush now, into the middle of nowhere Singing and laughter will die Dreamless sleep, follows the Nowhere King When his kingdom comes, darkness is nigh Quiet, crawl to the in-between Silent, secretive feeling Of fearsome hatred that reaches the skies You will bring joy to the Nowhere King When he sees the light leaving your eyes
I like to imagine the "Quiet, crawl through the in-between, silent, secretive feeling of fearsome, hatred that reaches the skies" is about Elktaur using the key in secret to get rid of his self hatred, aka his animal half, aka the Elk.
Even the way they arrive. A drip of darkness that gradually expands to summon the being. Also never thought I would see a CSM fan in a centaur world video
The overall show's disturbing-looking pseudo-centaur amalgamation characters don't intrigue me, but this song popped up while listening around online and so I had to see what this dude looked like. Utterly horrifying. I love it.
When I first watched the first episode with my cousin I was like this is boring where the terrifying characters that I used to watch like flapjack and gravity falls, until I saw the no where king boy I say my cousin’s face, how terrified she was
Lyrics: Hush now, hide, all you little ones Rush now, into the middle of nowhere Singing and laughter will die Dreamless sleep, follows the Nowhere King When his kingdom comes, darkness is nigh Quiet, crawl to the in-between Silent, secretive feeling Of fearsome hatred that reaches the skies You will bring joy to the Nowhere King When he sees the light leaving your eyes
There is sometning... Cool in this song "Dreamless sleep follow the Nowhere King"-King fell asleep, because it's the only way to stop pain, and when he woke up, song tell's about it "Hatred that reaches the sky"-King rising, growing his large horns and whole body, that can reach "sky"(Ceiling in the nowhere) "You will bring joy to the nowhere king, when he sees the light leaving your eyes"-When song is telling about it. King almost recreated himself, coughing in pain and feeling urge to kill "guests". Also, the line "Leaving your eyes" matched with the moment, when King rised his head and looked in the camera. Sounds like warning
“Hush now, quiet all you little ones Rush now, into the middle of Nowhere Singing and laughter will die Dreamless sleep Follows the Nowhere King When his kingdom comes Darkness is neigh Quiet Crawl through the in between Silent Secretive feeling of fearsome Hatred that reaches the skies You will bring Joy to the Nowhere King When he sees the light leaving your eyes”
@thatguy-ro1ju I think that's what makes so scary you don't expect a show that looks like a MLP rip off to just randomly through in my little baby's first cosmic horror
Imagine doom guy or slayer vs the nowhere king. The bullets go right through and do little more than annoy. But the plasma shots practically incinerate his ooze on contact. Feeding him a grenade blows his skull to pieces but the pieces reform, still shattered. And the BFG pops him like a bomb in jellatin, leaving his skull hollow, mearly stepping on his ooze makes it dissapate. A truelly epic borror battle

Thank you
Glad to see kids are still being traumatized by cartoons
"Singing and laughter will die"

Ah yes indescribable horrific main villians my favorite
I just watched this show again for the millionth time and just realized something! This scene he says, "You!" The nowhere king knows horse because he met her in the past when he was first in the gate... he said the same thing when he was able to detect her through the past thoughts. Just like Hodor in Game of Thrones. Crazy I never seen this before but it was so subtle. This is also like how Bran went back in time and the Night King (did I get that right, it's been so long) seen him and noticed him... he went to see how the Night King was created.
Oh man this is so unsettling which makes me smile because of how great they did the scene and this would’ve scared me if I was younger
Your profile made me laugh
Hush now, hide, all you little ones
Rush now, into the middle of nowhere
Singing and laughter will die
Dreamless sleep, follows the Nowhere King
When his kingdom comes, darkness is nigh
Quiet, crawl to the in-between
Silent, secretive feeling
Of fearsome hatred that reaches the skies
You will bring joy to the Nowhere King
When he sees the light leaving your eyes
no going to lie when i first saw this scene i thought venom was going to show up.
The hero, the damsel, and the gentleman villain
I like to imagine the "Quiet, crawl through the in-between, silent, secretive feeling of fearsome, hatred that reaches the skies" is about Elktaur using the key in secret to get rid of his self hatred, aka his animal half, aka the Elk.
Well I'm going to have nightmares for a while.
What is going on with antagonists. First we have The nowhere king now Belos from toh. The goopy and just terrifying antagonists
The nowhere king is a centaur turned blood thirst Minotaur creating weindigo
This looks almost exactly like the darkness devil’s reveal in chainsaw man
He looks like a Bloodborn villain
I love drawing this guy!
Very unsettling for a ‘kids show’
You know.. for kids..
This reminds me of that one darkness devil animation
Even the way they arrive. A drip of darkness that gradually expands to summon the being. Also never thought I would see a CSM fan in a centaur world video
ikr? frickin wild
@@mangkhai3814 Lmao I don’t even watch centaur world I just noticed this characters entrance on an Instagram reel and it reminded me of Darkness devil
I was looking for this comment, exactly my thoughts
That's what I'm thinking of
The overall show's disturbing-looking pseudo-centaur amalgamation characters don't intrigue me, but this song popped up while listening around online and so I had to see what this dude looked like. Utterly horrifying. I love it.
This used to be my favorite song what was wrong with me
This is the Lich and Trevor Hendersons school project
Lullaby? Sounds bit of evil for one
Best entrance ever
THIS GIVES ME DARKNESS DEMON VIBES
I WAS THINK THE SAME THING !!!!!!
When I first watched the first episode with my cousin I was like this is boring where the terrifying characters that I used to watch like flapjack and gravity falls, until I saw the no where king boy I say my cousin’s face, how terrified she was
Yooo this monster is cool as hell
I love creepy things like this 🖤🦌💀🖤
This song reminds me of bnny rbbt, really lovely yet dark songs
I just wish people would give this show a chance
Wendigo
Lyrics: Hush now, hide, all you little ones
Rush now, into the middle of nowhere
Singing and laughter will die
Dreamless sleep, follows the Nowhere King
When his kingdom comes, darkness is nigh
Quiet, crawl to the in-between
Silent, secretive feeling
Of fearsome hatred that reaches the skies
You will bring joy to the Nowhere King
When he sees the light leaving your eyes
These lyrics are hauntingly genius
In about 20 years there will be childhood trauma videos with The KNOWWHERE king in them
8 yr old me was absolutely horrified when I first wtached this show, now looking back, hes such a cutie patootie🥰🥰
Er anyone see the comparison between this a the darkness devils first appearance in chainsaw man
The nowhere king is an H.P Lovecraft monster that took a wrong turn and ended up in a kids MLP spin off.
A deer skulled ant with hooves and that had the most horrifying lullaby I’ve heard since ring around the rosey
There is sometning... Cool in this song
"Dreamless sleep follow the Nowhere King"-King fell asleep, because it's the only way to stop pain, and when he woke up, song tell's about it
"Hatred that reaches the sky"-King rising, growing his large horns and whole body, that can reach "sky"(Ceiling in the nowhere)
"You will bring joy to the nowhere king, when he sees the light leaving your eyes"-When song is telling about it. King almost recreated himself, coughing in pain and feeling urge to kill "guests". Also, the line "Leaving your eyes" matched with the moment, when King rised his head and looked in the camera. Sounds like warning
Bro whatever that instrument in the background of the song was horrifying
For the first time, seeing the actual footage, finding out form the song...
This is nightmare fuel, how is this for kids 😭
I remember when I first watched this show it game me literal chills
he actually reminds me of my own mind when im sad
Yo what happened to gaster💀
“Hush now, quiet all you little ones
Rush now, into the middle of
Nowhere
Singing and laughter will die
Dreamless sleep
Follows the Nowhere King
When his kingdom comes
Darkness is neigh
Quiet
Crawl through the in between
Silent
Secretive feeling of fearsome
Hatred that reaches the skies
You will bring
Joy to the Nowhere King
When he sees the light leaving your eyes”
That shit sounds like a quote from Edger Allen Poe or H.P Lovecraft not a kids show named Centarworld that's rated Y7 and about Talking horse's
belos is that you?
First time I saw this scene was at like 10:00ish near 11:00 at night with my little sister. Most of the lights were off. We were both scared shitless.
I know nothing about this show other than that this goes unbelievably hard
Would you believe me if I said it was a kids show about talking horses and musicals
@austinschwartz7424 yes I would because I've now watched it. Past me would believe it too
@thatguy-ro1ju I think that's what makes so scary you don't expect a show that looks like a MLP rip off to just randomly through in my little baby's first cosmic horror
Love it>:)
Doom music intensifies
Imagine doom guy or slayer vs the nowhere king. The bullets go right through and do little more than annoy. But the plasma shots practically incinerate his ooze on contact. Feeding him a grenade blows his skull to pieces but the pieces reform, still shattered. And the BFG pops him like a bomb in jellatin, leaving his skull hollow, mearly stepping on his ooze makes it dissapate. A truelly epic borror battle
If there's no blood, it's all kosher :D
Is it just me or is the nowhere king’s entrance pretty similar to the darkness devil in chainsaw man
Kinda like the lich in Adventure time
Now we know what inspiration they came up with this Villain.
Or the Beast in Over the Garden Wall
And is the EXACT opposite of Garnet from Steven universe in every way.
Just watched a classmanD video 💀. He said this thing was a discount lich from adventure time in terms of creepiness 🤣
"the Nowhere King appears"
chainsaw man fan: I seen this before
Seeks true form
Reminds me of the darkness devil
...Yikes, this looks like it would be straight from Bleach! Black body, White bone-like face...
Now that you mentioned it yes it dose look like a hollow from bleach but with no hole
He is a more scarier version of Akon I’d say.
.....I think it's much less that his face is bone like....it's just a straight up deer skull
