Tbh her theme is quite dark for a friendly protagonist character. Its more logical that she copied it from Volo though the time travel joke is funny as hell considering that Volo controlled Girantina, the strongest of the creation trio, to create a Space-Time rift
same, I heard this theme, and immediately panicked spoilers I ended up beating volo first try, with one pokemon left, and got killed by giratina turn 1
Before reachibg the top of mt coronet I was like... You are acting weird, please don't tell me you are gonna- **reaches the top and the monologue starts** -do that...
I love how these feels darker and dramatic while Cynthia’s version is menacing and energetic, shows the difference of the context of battles, with Volo you’re basically fighting for your life and the destiny of the world against someone who can even command a legendary Pokémon, while with Cynthia is like you are having the most challenging fight of your life, the biggest fight where the title of the champion, the best trainer on the region is being contended. And both songs complement this so well
Volo is by far the hardest fight in pokemon history. Even harder than Red, Cynthia or the Gamefreak staff. The guy is breaking future pokemon law/rule by having more than 6 pokemon on him. Its basically a 8vs6. OMG, maybe thats why the law/rule exists in the first place.
When i first heard this theme in legends arceus my heart stopped for a moment and I realized that fighting volo would be a nightmare just after i made fun of his togepi the entire game-
THAT WAS FAST! I was just talking with Volo at Aipom Hill in the game and I saw your upload! His striking resemblance to Cynthia 😂 I love this music! I’m so happy that you made this arrangement!!! 💕😍
I'am a pokemon fan since 2006, this series has a lot of defects especially technical, but has 2 things than are totally unmatched in the industry: Designs and Music. This theme isn't just a remix, it has small different parts that describe Volo's condition, mentality and feelings. It's perfect, best ost I've heard since Undertale.
Heyyyy, glad to hear it! Normally I'll throw in a second piano to get it even closer to the actual track, but I'm glad that a solo piano is able to do it justice
@@LazyTotodile You know, I've kinda been wondering, but are all these notes playable on an actual piano by a person? Is there a technique that lets people play at this level?
@@hamzahkhan4067 I guess I really need to add something to the description, since a couple people have asked. There are one or two parts where you would need to use the sostenuto pedal (which allows you to sustain a single note/chord as opposed to sustaining everything with the damper), but yes, that allows this to be playable solo. Difficult yes, especially with the 10ths, but those can always be brought to the same octave
If u hear this music here’s how to survive: step 1 run as far as your will can power u step 2: THROW ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING AT WHAT EVERS RUNNING AT U step 3: get cuaght and suffer Volos wrath
Welp, printed the sheets and decided to try and play the first 11 measures. Now I'm crying over the facts my hands are small. Nothing a good year of practicing can't fix!
Cynthia is getting ready to begin her role as champion. She prepares the elite four and looks for that one thing to make her battle feel like a real show to the challenger, to give their journey a worthy end. For inspiration, she looks through her ancestors’ old stuff… she finds sheet music labeled “Ode to Heresy and Divine Ambition…” She plays it on a nearby piano… and gets the feeling… “This… this will do nicely…” She makes it to where a speaker plays the music before a fight against a challenger starts, giving it a climactic feel… unknowing of what that climax represented, once upon a time…
I play this on the music shop in my country there's a pinao display outside the store and you can test it. I ended up play this song on the stores piano and the people recognize the music and they recorded me
at 1.25 it's Cynthia's theme. but given Volo is Her ancestor I would assume when She, Cynthia, found this score she played it for herself then realized as she played it how deranged it sounded so she rewritten it to the theme She is known for.
Whoa, good luck then!!! Definitely can change those 10ths in that one section (you know, the one with 10ths XD) to be within the same octave to make it easier to play. I just wanted the low AND high sound haha
ahhhh, from pokemon masters? maybe someday, but likely not soon (if ever haha). Honestly? If I were to ever transcribe a Masters track again, I'd strongly think about Caitlin's battle theme haha
Actually, a lot of the song is the same tempo as the original! I only slowed down a couple sections (the part with the 10ths in the RH as well as the part directly before the key change, since there are lots of consecutive chords that would be difficult with a slowdown). But I suppose I get it 😅
ohhhh, I gotcha. While there are portions of the actual track that could benefit from different instruments on your piano, it'd be too difficult to switch mid-song, so honestly, piano itself is still a pretty good bet haha
Yes! the hardest part would be the 10ths, but those can easily be brought to the same octave as thirds edit: you also need a sostenuto pedal for one section

"I wasn't scared, until I heard the piano." - Alpharad
Volo heard how incredible his descendant's theme was, and he had to copy it ahead of time.
I thought they did a fun job of trying to make her theme a little bit darker/more dramatic
i prefer to think Cynthia borrowed a couple of tricks from her family tree
Tbh her theme is quite dark for a friendly protagonist character. Its more logical that she copied it from Volo though the time travel joke is funny as hell considering that Volo controlled Girantina, the strongest of the creation trio, to create a Space-Time rift
If anything, it's more chaotic sounding, which goes to show Volo's mind state looking for Arceus.
He appositely made Giratina create a space time distortion for it only
Gotta admit, as someone who went in completely blind, this was an awesome twist I didn't expect
yesssssss
same, I heard this theme, and immediately panicked

I ended up beating volo first try, with one pokemon left, and got killed by giratina turn 1

For sure! They did a great job of conveying an atmosphere here
For me Volo is way harder that Cynthia
Volo is by far the hardest fight in pokemon history. Even harder than Red, Cynthia or the Gamefreak staff. The guy is breaking future pokemon law/rule by having more than 6 pokemon on him. Its basically a 8vs6. OMG, maybe thats why the law/rule exists in the first place.
Lollll maybe so maybe so
Immediately illegalized when Youngster Joey beat the champion with a pickup truck full of level 12 rats with quick attack
realistically, it wouldn't be so hard if it wasn't for the stupid battle gimmick.
I REALLY LOVE THIS THEME
it combines Cynthia's Approach theme & Battle theme
LITERALLY NOSTALGIC
For sure, it's a fun mix of nostalgia and something new!
As opposed to figuratively nostalgic?
どのフレーズも好きだけど、0:53〜1:07は本当に好き

Thank you so much!

Oh ho. You’ll really want to see what happens post game.

Definitely was fun to hear in the context of what was goin' on in the game, since I can finally say that I HAVE experienced it haha
I think everyone can agree if there's one thing not to worry about pokemon games, it's the music
I didn't realize somebody could nail an arrangement for Volo's theme on the piano like this, but you 100% did it. Amazing job!!!!
Awwww, you flatter me :D thanks for listenin'--
That's strikingly ressemblant to the in-game OST! Gives me chills every time I hear it...

it's pretty fun sounding haha
Hearing this I would scream oh s*** wielder Volo is way more scary than Cynthia
he's definitely a lot more evil haha
@@LazyTotodile more evil, yes. But who gave you more nightmares?
That last part of the battle will never leave me it’s the most unfair Pokémon battle ever
I love Volo and his theme, I always been a sucker for a good piano theme, and his battle is really hard, I want more hard Pokémon battles like his!
今まで聞いた中で1番よく音取れててすごいです！！
This is the best sound recording I've ever heard.
I am Japanese, so I am not good at English.
Your English is great! Thank you for your kind words!
Great arrangement! Definitely going to try and learn this!
Whew, best of luck then! And thanks!
I recently got to this point of the game and it was amazing ! Your rendition sounds so good too !
Daww, thanks so much! Glad ya like it and that you enjoyed the game!
yooooooooooooo this is insanely good!!
Dawww, thank ya very much
god when I first heard his theme in the game I popped off so hard. ty for making such a banger arrangement.
I still have much of the game to play through (and I probs won't get to it for a bit), but yeeeeee, it's pretty hype. Glad you enjoyed!
Best piano cover of this theme on the internet
このピアノが1番好きです！素晴らしいです！
amazing! I love It the best ‼︎
Ahhhh, glad you like it! Thank you very much!
This is amazing, 10/10
Awww, thank ya so much!
Just found the file, time to print and and play it, thanks!
Best of luck!
I’d love to hear this and Cynthia’s theme in comparison to hear how they differ!
Definitely a lot of sections that are very similar!
The TALENT! Every single note was perfect. Can you do the “midnight” theme for PLA.
Dawwww, thank ya. I highly doubt I'll have the time to arrange something new anytime soon, but maybe someday
Looking back on this masterpiece makes me feel alienated. I had such a hard time w BD and I just beat Volo in 1 try
dude what level wad your team?
This is going to be my first song to play on the piano.
That would be a very impressive first song :')
Oh, I was not scared until I heard the piano.- Alpharad
What is with this blood line and their love for garchomps and pianos!?
-Also alpharad
I love how it is just ! on the right side
lmao i'd say it's ! from all sides--

day 15: i'm still running. his garchomp is faster than me. tell my mom i love her
I havent played the piano in 6 years and I could still barely play Fur Elise with both hands but this theme makes me want to pick it back up....
Welp, printed the sheets and decided to try and play the first 11 measures. Now I'm crying over the facts my hands are small. Nothing a good year of practicing can't fix!
When you find cynthia's house and you notice a tattered piece of sheet music on the piano simply labeled "the theme"
"melody of clinically insane ancestor"
has a nice ring to it
Cynthia is getting ready to begin her role as champion. She prepares the elite four and looks for that one thing to make her battle feel like a real show to the challenger, to give their journey a worthy end. For inspiration, she looks through her ancestors’ old stuff… she finds sheet music labeled “Ode to Heresy and Divine Ambition…” She plays it on a nearby piano… and gets the feeling…
“This… this will do nicely…”
She makes it to where a speaker plays the music before a fight against a challenger starts, giving it a climactic feel… unknowing of what that climax represented, once upon a time…
bro, you're so good
haha, it's just synthesized, i'm not actually playing it. but if you're talking about the arrangement, i'm flattered!
knew you'd be back

Who knows 👀
Because Volo is one of Cynthia's Ancestor
Ah
@@Ezunal well, i didn't want to say it just in case it's an actual game spoiler :')) as i have not yet played the game

Good like always! Thanks to you I'm trying to learn MIDI and this is the one I used to edit
Eyyy, glad to help, and thank you!
I'm definitely gonna try to get this down.
best of luck!
@@LazyTotodile Thank you!
When i went to battle him i wasnt scared until i heard the demon piano
at 1.25 it's Cynthia's theme. but given Volo is Her ancestor I would assume when She, Cynthia, found this score she played it for herself then realized as she played it how deranged it sounded so she rewritten it to the theme She is known for.
What an unfortunate familial relationship 😭

Whoa, good luck then!!! Definitely can change those 10ths in that one section (you know, the one with 10ths XD) to be within the same octave to make it easier to play. I just wanted the low AND high sound haha
I shit my pants.
I put the video in x1,25 speed and it gave Cynthia's theme
well, maybe slightly similar ;)
@@LazyTotodile Yes though it was cursed
It’s hinted that togekiss is his partner not garchomp which is the exact opposite to the ground/dragon garchomp
When the totodile is lazy 😍
🤤🤤 why put in effort when you can n o t
@@LazyTotodile our mantra 😊
god i'm trying to learn this but my hand hurts now
PTSD intensifies!
good times--
I dunno if you take requests but could you please try and do the Palkia/Dialga Origin form battle theme?
Not really taking requests right now due to how busy I am with school, sorry :(
Might get to it someday regardless though, who knows
Oi mate, why you gotta upload such bangers?
Lmao thank ya, though I'm shocked you were awake XD
But, Volo's ace isn't Garchomp? It's Togekiss.
_Togekiss furiously playing the piano_
it's just a thumbnail 😭
God Cynthia's family really liked the piano didn't they?
and we stan them for it 😌
amazing!
since you have both of cynthias themes and now this one, do you think you might do renegade cynthias theme?
ahhhh, from pokemon masters? maybe someday, but likely not soon (if ever haha). Honestly? If I were to ever transcribe a Masters track again, I'd strongly think about Caitlin's battle theme haha
ah, thats a good one! im sure whatever you post in the future will be great
Change the song to 1.25x, it will almost sound like the original
Actually, a lot of the song is the same tempo as the original! I only slowed down a couple sections (the part with the 10ths in the RH as well as the part directly before the key change, since there are lots of consecutive chords that would be difficult with a slowdown). But I suppose I get it 😅
Wow!? didn't you already do Cynthia's theme
I did indeed haha
I got spoiled when I saw this in my notifications yesterday.
Sorry :(( to be fair, you get to battle Volo within the first short stretch of the game!
I think Cynthia's Garchomp is a descendant of Volo's Garchomp and Giratina
who knows, who knows--
Holup…
that would explain why everyone thinks it’s demon spawn…
Beat theme in Pokemon
i love it!! i do want to know what piano this is 👍
can you do dream a new dream for tomorrow from kirbys dream collection please I have been trying to play by ear but I just cant please help 😭
Ahhhh, I'm not exactly taking requests right now since I'm really busy with school, but maybe someday >W
This seems familiar....
It is very complicated to do so It's very complicated to do it and I want to do it on my piano 😂

Lol yeah, it's tough--
the particle effects are a bit too strong
sorry pal :(
@@LazyTotodile don’t worry! I like them :)
0:50 so how is one person supposed to play this
Sostenuto pedal. This allows you to sustain the 6ths in the right hand while jumping down to play the chords, which are not sustained by the pedal
…. Could a human play this?
Yes! the hardest part would be the 10ths, but those can easily be brought to the same octave as thirds
edit: you also need a sostenuto pedal for one section
