@aviowl8945 He'll be back. Some sort of end boss will show up and the Barbarian (and perhaps other friends made along the way) will help to fight off a greater evil.
I have a feeling in Ep-3, Jules takes over the Barbarians as their King, since Gotoh is now captured. He challenges King Philip to a battle of ROCK, PAPER, CROSSBLADES. But instead of throwing rock, paper or crossblades, Jules throws the SYMBOL OF DEATH, forcing Philip to look and... *Gotem.*
Plot Twist: Philip knows about the barbarian tradition now so he knows what to expect when he sees the symbol, and since SYMBOL OF DEATH isn't a recognized Holy Combat stratagem, by the rules Jules hasn't made his official RPCB move... until he begins to punch towards Philip with his closed fist. Philip holds up his empty hand and declares victory revealing that his paper beats Jules' rock.
Ep 4 could be another nation invading which uses the 'two for flinching' fighting style and is about to conquer them. Philip then has to reach out to his brother and unite to save the kingdom. Jules could gave had a whole training montage and learned to surpass the 'rules of the game' and started to combine fighting styles. It could end with jules combining the Barbarian King's symbol of death with the attacking nations own two for flinching into a devastating counterattack. At the end, the brothers learn that the king always wanted the brothers to work together as co-rulers rather than enemies
The Barbarian using a totally different "fighting style" of the Circle Game is such a damn genius way to up the ante for episode 2, you guys are hilarious

With the way the AI-interpreted frames tend to warp and shift in animation, I wonder if any animators have exploited it to make really gnarly Lovecraftian horrors. Imagine a hand-drawn mass of eyes and tentacles moving like that.
That's mostly what I have ai draw when I give it ques because it's just really good at doing lovcraftian things. I prompted a simple ai to make drawings of lavos vs cthulhu and the images it came up with were amazing. It's also really scary that our ai can be like "ahh yes, tenticle monsters that are horrifying the mind" and yet have trouble drawing hands.
I want a future episode to be about an evil witch who curses people to lose their voice, by saying the exact same thing as them at the exact same time.
All of the barbarian king’s lines were hilarious, and that scene where the window shines to reveal the next part of the plot was great. And when the barbarian king swipes the death symbol through the ash cloud, so many good moments
The Barbarian King scene is just incredible. The writing, conceptual, framing and stylization choices are so cleverly done. Not to mention the voice acting continuing to be spot on. Hats off to you guys, sequels can be tough, but you hit it out of the park!
Felt like I was 8 years old again back in 1988 watching Masters Of The Universe, Inspector Gadget, Bravestar, Mask.... and Rock Paper Scissors. Love the sound design in this production. Great achievement for the whole team. Thank you for making this!
To see how this was made and then to see the final project is amazing to say the least. CORRIDOR YALL DID THIS!!! Barbarian King was my favorite part haha! Keep this going!!!
God damn guys, I was not expecting 15 minutes. You're setting the bar on what can be achieved by small studios. Keep up the -good- -great- amazing work
This really is a huge improvement upon the first one, except for one thing. The mouths. It's like the characters never let their lips meet when they speak, and it looks really weird. Everything else looks amazing!
I think last time they did a lot of the flaps manually, so the technique probably improved, it's just with more dialogue and less inner monologues, my guess is they didn't want to do so many flaps.
I hope that this series will go further into the future similarly to the Jojo and Castlevania universes once this saga is concluded, the bloodlines of these two brothers can lead to some quite interesting conflicts throughout the eras.
I see your comments everywhere. That's not me criticizing, I just thought its interesting seeing them on channels I didn't expect to see them in. And you're a fellow pimp enjoyer too?! Based. Hope you have a good day.
mind blown. i hope the battle is actually the soldiers charging each other and then doing rock paper scissors! with each other. showing how the main characters can just keep winning against the normal soldiers
The barbarian king's "symbol of death" was the best twist I could have ever asked for.
It truly is a symbol of death because it killed me!

If you search for "ai eating spaghetti" you'll see some horrors. Don't say I didn't warn ya.
That's mostly what I have ai draw when I give it ques because it's just really good at doing lovcraftian things. I prompted a simple ai to make drawings of lavos vs cthulhu and the images it came up with were amazing. It's also really scary that our ai can be like "ahh yes, tenticle monsters that are horrifying the mind" and yet have trouble drawing hands.
The skeleton knight sequence was crazyyyyy. This anime has to be the best use of generative AI in the medium till now.
Remind me god death castlevania
I want a future episode to be about an evil witch who curses people to lose their voice, by saying the exact same thing as them at the exact same time.
*JINXED!* **ZAP!** 👉✨
And the only way to break the curse is to bestow upon her a fizzy, sweet-tasting brew (as she is owed)! 🤣
All of the barbarian king’s lines were hilarious, and that scene where the window shines to reveal the next part of the plot was great. And when the barbarian king swipes the death symbol through the ash cloud, so many good moments
“Do you need a light?” Sounded almost exactly like the firebats from Broodwar
I feel like they used that line so that we make that connection. Wouldn't be surprised if it's the same va
Wow, almost as good as the manga
Manga is better, I hate all the changes to the plot in anime adaptation
@Psycorde wait till you read the LN. They don't advertise it as BL, but that's all it is. Cute story.
The Barbarian King scene is just incredible. The writing, conceptual, framing and stylization choices are so cleverly done. Not to mention the voice acting continuing to be spot on. Hats off to you guys, sequels can be tough, but you hit it out of the park!
I wasn't sure if we would get a part two but I am so glad that we did. Can't wait for part three.
gosh damn the barbarian king character is soooo well done
I can’t wait for the tournament arc where we get to meet “hurts doughnut”, “something on your shirt” and “el’ gotcha nose” 😂
It can't be a true anime parody without a tournament arc!
Key and peele already did the dramatized something on your shirt bit
I challenge you to rock paper crossblades!! But before we begin… you’re shoes untied.
Felt like I was 8 years old again back in 1988 watching Masters Of The Universe, Inspector Gadget, Bravestar, Mask.... and Rock Paper Scissors. Love the sound design in this production. Great achievement for the whole team. Thank you for making this!
Truly beautiful. Jesus loves you very much. He is Truth and He will judge us all. Please have faith and make an effort to follow Him towards Heaven.
Praise AI
@@skyhunter2816 cope harder
@@MonsterHat133 That doesn't even make sense kid.
@@skyhunter2816 cope harder that people are having fun watching shit that they like, lol.
Jules went through his own farmland arc. Truly guy would have no enemies by episode 3

To see how this was made and then to see the final project is amazing to say the least. CORRIDOR YALL DID THIS!!! Barbarian King was my favorite part haha! Keep this going!!!
First
The sequel we didn’t deserve but we got, props to corridor
OMFG IT'S PERFECT! Barbarian King is my favorite character now 😂. Look forward to the next part 🎉
God damn guys, I was not expecting 15 minutes. You're setting the bar on what can be achieved by small studios. Keep up the -good- -great- amazing work
I dunno why but as a Brit, Jordan's English guard accent cracks me up. Love it!
He is English actually, grew up there and moved in the US where he decided to drop his accent. He spoke about it in the podcast. 😅
@@theKiroo I thought it sounded convincing. Definitely some of his American accent crept in though.
LMFAO The Barbarian King is awesome. 9:52 is done so damn well. The flow of the framing.
Idk if I’m still okay with this ai thing but when he said. Here you go that felt perfect
9:49, LITERALLY THE BEST MOMENT TO SAY ""LIGHTS OUT""
12:20 Best frame ever. I want it as a poster.
It is literally the OPM Death Punch lol
4:25 is INCREDIBLE what an amazing sequence
This really is a huge improvement upon the first one, except for one thing. The mouths. It's like the characters never let their lips meet when they speak, and it looks really weird. Everything else looks amazing!
I think last time they did a lot of the flaps manually, so the technique probably improved, it's just with more dialogue and less inner monologues, my guess is they didn't want to do so many flaps.
Was expecting the barbarian’s punch to be caught by the King’s hand because paper beats rock
That would have been dope
Oop made a mistake my b
Genius
@Corridor
They’re saving this for an episode 3 payoff.
I hope that this series will go further into the future similarly to the Jojo and Castlevania universes once this saga is concluded, the bloodlines of these two brothers can lead to some quite interesting conflicts throughout the eras.
I see your comments everywhere. That's not me criticizing, I just thought its interesting seeing them on channels I didn't expect to see them in. And you're a fellow pimp enjoyer too?! Based.
Hope you have a good day.
@@flamebrindger3984 Thanks man, you have a good day too. 👍🏿
mind blown.
i hope the battle is actually the soldiers charging each other and then doing rock paper scissors! with each other.
showing how the main characters can just keep winning against the normal soldiers
I can see Sam's beard under the costume even in the AI render😂
“I’ve trained for 1 whole year”
Me: so like 300 episodes in once piece time?
This had no business being this awesome
0:38 The head without body really digs into sight
If this becomes a series I’m excited
You mean excited
@@LeoZeFireYT happy now
@@sykos would have been if you'd kept it the way it was fr.
It literally already has, you're at the episode 2, genius
I feel like if they make one episode every 6-12 months this will become the definitive archive of how the tech progressed
I want to listen the full version of the OP omg it's catchy!!
the the song is epic we need full version
Hahaha! The 'Made you look' game never gets old.
I love it when the plot of the stories revolves around men and their fingers.
This anime of 500 episodes is compressed into a few episodes, no wonder its so fast.
I was laughing for minutes on that reveal of the barbarian king's "power." Such an amazing reveal.
👌
Optimum reveal levels.
This could be a whole series in my opinion. The music was so great not saying the animation wasn't out of this world. Amazing job guys
the barbarian king scene lmao sam the deceptive barb king is now one of my fav villain
4:39 that was super cool!! Really well done!
Rock paper scissors for your soul? Wow, that escalated fast...
