- The Imulsion may appear to of just been a fuel source for the Humans of Sera, but unfortunately it would lead to wars that would almost end in their extinction. Even still, the Imulsion plagues the survivors in ways you may not know. So lets explore how that may be the case!

Thanks for watching guys! Let me know what yall thought of my theory on the imulsion!
Roanoke Gaming Do you think you can do a Former’s video soon?
When you do your next morphology vid, can you do grims and leeches from resistance, please.
So what would happen if flood meets imulsion?
That would make some sense. However how can you factor in the Razor Hail? It existed before the Lightmass Bombing in Gears 1.
the imulsion+intelligent fungus makes me think "slime mold". just look at what one of those is able to do with a map of the Tokyo metro. XD also the way you described it almost sounds like the Gaia theory. The idea that the earth is a superorganism with systems that form some equivalent of our own. In this case its almost like the planet Sera is just a scaffold for a super organism much like biofilms in real life that form on rocks, polar ice caps, in soil ect.
I really do think the human race is going to go extinct in the gears of war universe. As a gardener, its my experience that Humans tend to ignore the smallest life forms on the planet until their absence or overabundance becomes inconvenient. Then we either proliferate them out of control or try to destroy them all. Dog bites child, we put down dog. Dog licks, snuggles and otherwise adores child, dog becomes youtube celebrity. Its not the dog's fault, it was just being a dog. Insects, fungi and microbes are the same way. If your theory is right and the immulsion is a sentient fungal infection then thats it for humanity.
Also, in prehistory there is a real life precedent for the Immulsion Infection, the undersea microbes that took control of the oceans during the Permian Triassic Extinction. When the planet became too hot and there wasn't enough oxygen in the oceans these bacteria proliferated, turned the oceans a sickly purple color and started spewing hydrogen sulfide gas onto land. The massive storms, the lambent becoming aerosolized and infecting us, it kinda makes me wonder if the twist in the story will be that Sera's future is our past and they represent a forgotten prehistoric civilization.
Wait, Imulsion potentially an invasive and intelligent fungus?

Roanoke: I believe that Immulsion still exists in some form.
Modern-day Locust with Immulsion crystals embedded in their flesh: Are we a joke to you?
Shawn the Prawn I think he means the storms, and the new form of Locusts, and their ability to mutate anything into a new Swarm member.
Yeah i fundamentally hate what they did turning the locust into the swarm.
They should've just said "yeah, this group of locust survived because of a metal or mineral compound that partially protected them." If they really wanted to bring the locust back after gears 3.
Or better yet let us play through the eyes ofvthe locust and see their desperation and starvation.
@@draconisthewyvern3664 so instead of doing something creative and new, you think having the actual locust survive through some bullshit deus ex machina is better?
@@draconisthewyvern3664 that'd be a cool DLC!
Being a locusts commander down in the hollow fighting off infected locust and COG recon units a couple weeks or a month before the lightman bomb.
@@jerrybeansman1040 "Or better yet let us play through the eyes of the locust and see their desperation and starvation".
Secondly come on, the swarm itself is a deus ex machina for the locust. They are essentially reskinned locust.
What if Sera, the planet, is in fact a living being, and the Immulsion is like a form of blood or immune system?
That's why I liked how alien Sera was. It's so earthlike but also unalike. I don't like the direction the new games have gone, because they just ignore a bunch of this.
@@RedStar441 Not really, they seem to be going with the Locust becoming one with Sera with Sera seemingly possessing Myrrah or something of the like.
They also say planets are brains and animals on the planet are neurons for it needing the electricity passing thru us. Our Neurons not sentient alone but in clusters information is passed. Now the final step really driving this Home are Pictures for Visual Proof/evidence of something super beyond ourselves that we unknowingly contribute to. SIDE by Side is a Brain firing up lighting up Billions of Cells passing information at quantum speed levels Recently towards edege of the universe expanding outwardly. Then suddenly an explosion of energy with Billions of lights through the Galaxy .If we could go study these points of connection in this dimension and the other we can't comprehend how it'd be in this unique environment Time Could be 1 moment for us but years for Them possibly. It could be how Itachi used his tsukyomi to have kids and a Life with the Uchiha girl he loved. He's controls all perceptions in this illusion but if it Lasted Years and you were jer husband you could've spent 70 yrs together and enjoyed each second. These 2 creations not siblings or 1 is able to manipulate his matter to force Cell activation to spread information like a brain on sera with locusts & humans its neurons needing energy to Pass-through us Unaffected like our Neurons. Its not just the Brain but our entire CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM Which may share their Ability the to comprehend a
plane of existence where can create organic and non-organic Life. Hybrid Species, he can give them all any power he desires witb Matter Manipulation at the wave of his hand.This Species that's Handing Out tools to save their World's resources or Comfortably visit Alison knowledge& Powers to Allow Magneto 100% true Magnetism controlling Planets Electromagnetic Poles.Planets Capability of Staying together after He added all the forces he manipulated himself from nothingness. I TOLD HIM THIS THEORY AND HE stopped and said where did your consciousness go once he disintegrated for Hours his CNS reconstructed his cells in
Which as ideal as it is means our Planet, Solar System& universe are expanding outwardly Manhattan . Meaning a Majority of Space is possibly Sentient from In😢increasing in size each time you get close . We forgot she needs Weather Manipulation of Storms abilities . This is probably what jumpstarts communication from each lifeform
While I do also like how alien sera was. The idea that imulsion was like white blood cells is a bit much imo.
@gpheonix1 the physics and such are different on Sera the atmosphere is different there are plenty of similarities with earth and Sera but there are some extreme differences remember in gears of war 2 where there was razor hail on earth there is bad hail but not even close to razor hail there's even more evidence to support my argument in the first 3 games fuck look at the bloody characters would you see any soilder like that in real life cole is bigger then bruce lee and slyvester stallone combined most gears are like that gears are like that
It's like Doom's Argent Energy case all over again.
or the tiberium
@@feelinghealing3890 Or any fictional source of energy, for that matter. Seriously, is their ANY sci-fi material that HASN'T been fought over?
Yuh
Or Phazon.
To be fair, Imulsion and Tiberium were bad in hindsight, who on Earth thought harvesting Hell was a good plan?!
>be Imulsion

This is true dedication to your craft
Roanoke, you didn't explain the chicken in the third game, though.
This
Wait what chicken. I don't remember this
@@alephkasai9384 if you shot it, it would turn into a giant rabid killing machine
@@plasmaxl8626 Which part of the game is it at?
@@alephkasai9384 on the ship at the beginning near some pipes. (i have not played the game in 3 years so i might be a little off)
It's also interesting to note that Formers might still show some level of consciousness. You'll sometimes hear them calling out for help or warning you to stay away. It's sad, really.
They'll also ask you to kill them.
I assume Imulsion's ability to alter DNA and the complete conversion of the host also ties into how the Swarm Snatchers are able to put people into pods which over time breaks the person down and completely changes that person into a Swarm creature
I just came across this channel, and I just want to say, it's all I ever wanted. A perfect balance between modern biology, science and fantasy. You sir, are the kind of man I needed in my life. Keep up the amazing work!
Check out his dead space videos they’re probably the best video game videos on the planet in terms of looking at enemies. But yeah all his content is absolute quality
How will you disect the lore and morphology? Imulsion has no feet xD
*slow claps* bravo
*facepalm* argh...
Just take my like
I would like to argue that extreme weather is actually being caused by the Hammer of Dawn satellites. Gears 3 kinda had a throw away line regarding the Hammer.
"I do, but the targeting system's screwed. Can't risk it."
- Colonial Hoffman
In the moment we have gotten use to the Hammer being increasing unreliable as the series went on and figured it would just disappear not to be seen again but the massive storms in Gears 4 are a direct result of the Hammer of Dawn. The firing of the super powerful laser has caused drastic changes in global climate and if you notice how the "lighting" strikes and moves across the ground it movement characteristics are similar to the fully functional Hammer's laser.
Yeah, I agree with that. If the storm was Imulsion-based, wouldn't it be yellow like everything else? The storm is clearly red and, like you said, mimic the hammer of dawn.
@@TonyRedgrave They also mention that the COG classified the source cause of the Windflares. Which means they know 100% what it is but they either can't fix it or they have no intention to fix it.
Would assume this is gonna be a plot point for Gears 5 or 6 probably either shutting down the Hammer of Dawn or reestablishing control of the Hammer.
You are overthinking
@@az12223 I don't think I am. Something like the Hammer of Dawn isn't just simply swept under the rug and not talked about.
@@az12223 And thinking its a mutated form of a sentient hivemind of the imulsion that has mutated to infect the very planet itself and causes storms isnt? Lol, sure, ok dude.
I had this weird thought that the swarm was a process of an evolved imulstion that survived the counter measure. Hence the crystal
Request:
Can you cover the Monsters from Evolve?
When we run out of good games
@@machina5 oof
@@machina5
The monsters are cool tho
Goliath: big angry ape
Kraken: big angry electric flying squid

What if oil is Imulsion that's been dead for thousands/millions of years.
dear god...
50/50 chance the US Gov would still gun for this stuff. Gotta get dat oil.
Is Me Since it turns people into monsters I doubt it it’s only for the fact that we would then have to deal with everyone who uses gas turning into a demon of some sort and trying to eat you I’m pretty sure the politicians would not be OK with that
Doesn't that mean their just slightly more scary zombies?
Oberstruhmfuhrer Schrodinger Take a look at our current political body.
Take a good, loooong look.
You really think they give a shit about the consequences? Greed is a prelude to tragedy.
Except they would have a reason since it was essentially clean energy, it's not like you expect solar energy to come to life and kill you.
Crazed Rabbyt No, formers aren’t zombies. They’re very much alive. You can hear them begging and screaming “fucking Kill me” during the game.
Ah finally I've always been curious about learning about this tha ks for covering this man
Yeeesss finally I’ve been waiting for this to be covered ty
Biology of the riftworm from gears 2 next?
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this. Thanks Roanoke.
Always thought imulsion was cool. but that theory made them like 10 times cooler.
I think Imulsion is Saras defense system against aggresses and both Humanity and The Locust were that.
Good to see another video from you Roanoke its been a while hope you're well respect dude 😃👍
Planets aren't sentient tho. Emulsion most likely would be some advanced microorganism hive.
hold up. I get how humans caused it, but the Locust didn't use Immulsion like they did - did they?
Jacob Robinson no the locust just dwelled around huge amounts of it
@@shayoc9798 thoughts so.
go outside, you'll see earth is sentient
U are such an underrated channel man, i love the content and how much u dive into detail
Love these videos man! This stuff just amazes me in all honesty
This is easily one of my favorite TH-cam channels. I always wanted to look at videogame lore in a deeper, more factual sense. Thankfully, some biologist decided to do the work instead.
Thanks for another kick-ass video.
Yay, I've been waiting for this! I've always had this theory that it was a parasitic fungus from the way all the Lambent appeared and the stalks. Can't wait for a further analysis on the Lambent variants and possibly an analysis on Lambent vs other Parasitic lifeforms like the Flood.
This makes me wonder if the swarm is actually just imulsion coming back with a vengence, the crystal that protected them did look like a crystalized verson of it, it would explain how and why they survived. This would also not make the swarm locust in essence, maybe that is why ehy tried to form a new queen, considering as the locust queen was once human.
I definitely like the idea that Imulsion is in fact an intelligent and sentient organism and not just a fungal parasite acting on mere instinct.
It makes it seem a lot more menacing. Even sinister.
Of course, I suppose we will have to wait till GOW 4 before any of this is confirmed. Because right now, there isn't enough evidence to support this theory.
I always love to see you post a Gears video!
Keep up the good work dude! Your videos are top notch
I have been waiting for this my whole life
Just discovered your channel and I love it. Keep it up dude
I always wondered what caused the new enemies in GoW3. I was so confused when I first played it and there were these glowing yellow creatures. Great video man, I loved it :)
Nothing to get my apetite goin' like a Roanoke vid!
Yo dude, you should analyze the biology of half Demons from DMC 1-5 and how they are different from normal people.
You pretty much covered everything there is about the Imulsion and its effects. Nice job.
Once again, awesome video dude
Hell yeah, another great vid!
Great video Roanoke Gaming.
Sounds like the Phazon from the Metroid Prime Trilogy.
Yay, another video from Papa Roanoke :D
I fear you, because if you can scientifically describe and explain this disease and other creatures you cover while making sense, to me that means it could be somehow possible
SSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHTTTT!!!!!
@Corvo@AZ well that pretty obvious
@Corvo@AZ cordycepts
@Corvo@AZ actually its not that uncommon to have things jump the species barrier and it is a concern for public health and safety.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2546865/#!po=0.318471
@Corvo@AZ There is a drug resistant super fungus cropping up already, its almost a guaranteed death as the people infected so far had existing medical conditions but its appeared in several different regions but always in hospitals like MSRA does. Its an old fungus thats been around for thousands of years but only recently became pathogenic and drug resistant, its hard to even kill/clean on surfaces.

This video towards the end with the background gameplay reminded me of the ghidorah hurricane in Godzilla KOTM.
What a birthday present for me 3 or 4 years ago, Thanks Roanoke
Exactly what my morning needed!
[Consumes imulsion like a boss]
Mutation time.
That was a great analysis
yes gears of war love the video
i recently went back and played all gears of war games and the gears of war 5 tech test and i just finished them yesterday so i’ve been wanting to more gears of war lore
Fantastic vid!
Im been waiting for this!!!!
And I made a new theory of how the Locust can be saved
The Savior Of The Locust Horde do you want to save the locust
Great video really interesting
Love your vids man, I listen to your lectures on the way to work lol. And I have an idea for some content... Morphology and Biology of Typhons from Prey (2017)
Yay Roanoke uploaded another Gears of Lore video (yes that’s a gunker video reference).
Sweet video. Thank you.
love your lore vids
considering the subject matter, I hope you take a lore look at Phazon from metroid some day.
Thanks for this video it helped me understand the yellow stuff in gears of war series
Kind of reminds me sentient organisms in SG., specifically the episode "Message in a Bottle".
Awesome video and theory! I was wondering if you'd ever do a Unitology lore video
Yeah ! Thanks Roanoke
lambency is just fanart that's sentient
This is literally everything I needed to know about Gears of War 1-3
I'd love to hear more about the Swarm and how they came to be come Gears 5
You feeling okay Roanoake? Voice sounds a bit deeper than usual, great content as always!
I would probably put GOW’s Immulsion akin to the Mitochondria in parasite eve in relation to the Locust 2.0
Basically Immulsion 1.0: we will take over everything, you humans have helped us mutate to success a degree that nothing can stop us.
Adam’s light how gets turned on.
Immulsion 2.0: okay, maybe we do need hosts, these guys were nice in the first place, we did a bad...
Basically parasitic Spanish flu turned into the helpful mitochondria for a subset of species it mutated
There are some species immune to the Immulsion, and even may feed off it so when humans caused it to mutate it may have killed off the koalas of the Locust environment as well as draining of the Immulsion and whatever impacts the Locust had in the hollow
This dude covered this perfect and clear
Damn good video
Nice video
Can you please consider doing an episode on the Ceph; AKA the aliens from the Crysis series? I’ve yet to find a video giving them a detailed analysis and believe you would be perfect for doing so. Keep up the awesome work! :D
I like this theory, actually makes imulsion sound like Jenova from FFVII
Could you do video about the locust/ imulsion turning into the swarm and anything from biology that would support such a transformation?
The Swarm was always there. Sires were the result of the Swarm's first attempts at converting Humans.
@@scowler92 the sires were the first locusts. The swarm is what locusts turned into after the imulsion counter measure
What if the reason so much is pooled underground is because the imulsion had previously consumed the overworld
Holy shit you've gotta be the first person to cover imulsion, great job!
nope has been done many times but i lile to hear it from him too
Jesus Christ this thing is scary like seriously like the fungus out of hell keep up the good work bro
Sera is the organism. And the emulsion is its immune system
I'm pretty sure the Sires are the original children of the Imulsion miners, and the Locust was created by splicing Human DNA (mainly Myrrahs DNA and stem cells) with the DNA of the Sires.
Oh Papi , im Early again, Great Vid , been waiting for another GW video
Can i get a pin?
hotwheelsmark CaN i GeT a PiN?!?!?
"CAN I GET A PIN?"
PATHETIC
Big F
I love the videos watch almost every one. I feel that you make the games better by making these biology videos. Gives it a little more depth. The Days Gone Freaker biology would be an interesting one. There isn't a lot of info about the virus or how it changes the people it infects. So I would very much like to see what you can make of it.
This is interesting I like it
I instanly stop what i was watchin for this
Edit:Who else called imulsion piss when they first saw it
Look at all that juice marcus
Hulk piss, warm, tasty Hulk piss
I originally thought it was some form of lava cause in the first game it kills a corpser.
Rather than simply just another sentient lifeform that existed on Sera, perhaps the origin of Imulsion could be alien or extraterrestrial.
I'm kinda curious about the swarm from Gears of War 4 how they were turning humans into more of them and mainly how did the Locust and Lambent survive the weapon made to kill it/them. Also hope you feel better soon have good rest of your week.
GLOWING GOO !!!!!
If it does have feet for Roanoke to analyze it must be purged....
But yet Roanoke must analyze it in order to know how to purge it....
I am *CONFLICTED*
Honestly, I think the immolsion was once a super-sentiant being that went to far and ended up becoming a liquified version of itself, thus it went dormant and became a super invasive sentient bacterium-fungus hybrid.
You should do a video about the wendigos from untill dawn. Btw love the videos.
Nice
I think a very good fight to cover would be the berzerker vs. Lambent version, etc.
So glad you can back to gears of war.....
Maybe a snatcher video or pounce from gears 4?
Roanoke looks at anything parasitic: Yep, it's fungus.
I agree with the illmusion theory. And I think the wind flare are not a natural occurence. I thought a maelstrom (the machine that caused hurricane around azura) or something similar malfunction or perhaps being taken over, could be the cause. I mean they had a machine that manipulated the weather namely by causing violent winds and are now strong wind storms are popping up all over the area. Just a thought.
Imulsion could very well be a form of Slime Mold. Slime Molds are eukaryotic organisms exist out in nature, spreading and covering surfaces like rock, plants and wood. Normally they’re not harmful, though they kinda look like vomit. They eat away at decaying matter and mulch and are helpful in cleaning up a forest environment
Imulsion could be a form of that, but it’s highly volatile and mutagenic. When it comes into contact with other types of organisms, it has the potential to damage DNA. Perhaps Lambent Stalks are actually plant life that the Imulsion has come into contact with, akin to roots on a tree?
Maybe it could a radioactive substance too and prolonged exposure to the radiation it gives off can affect the health of any organisms near it. Ionizing radiation damages cells, hence why people exposed to dangerous amounts of it slowly rot from within, and people who aren’t exposed to as much radiation are prone to develop cancer. Imulsion could potentially cause this as well. (FYI: I saw HBO’s Chernobyl in case you were wondering about all that radiation talk 😂)
Bruh, you should totally try to cover the Manhattan Virus from crysis 2
Of all the depressing ironies this series' story is full of, immulsion being sentient the whole time would be the icing on the cake. Really novel and plausible theory!
Oh man. I didn't know you got engaged! I only just joined the Discord. Congrats bro!
As always, great video! It never occured to me that the Locust were pre-mutated humans, even though it was painfully obvious from the video in the second game.
(SPOILERS)
Your statement about the stalks being a form of reproduction is spot on as well. In the book 'Coalition's End', 2 dogs disappear and end up infected by the Imulsion. Not even a day later, Bernie, Anya, Sam and someone else (I think) end up fighting a dozen Lambent dogs that popped out of the pods on a stalk. So yes, the stalks reproduce like rabbits.
And speaking of highly contagious, a farmer's prized bull disappears from his land and wanders to an area where Imulsion is found shortly after. The bull, only being in contact to the Imulsion for a couple days, goes full Lambent and explodes like your average Gunker.
Alex.
Damn, why didn't I ever think of that? The Immulsion was defending itself. If the humans had left well the fuck alone, none of this would've ever happened.
More hollow creatures, I love your vids give me more
Gotta say game ended instead of killed and I love it
0:16 "Annihilate most of the population"
There is only 100,000 human beings left alive by Gears of War 5.
i always thought of the stalks as the bodies of the drowned locust in the hollows
06:02
Now how in the frick did the cast of GoW3 survive just walking past so much aerosolized imulsion? Not to mention the cave with flowing rivers of imulsion.
You have to be exposed to it over a long period without interruption. Mercy was an Imulsion refinery.
Marcus stated during the mission to Char "not as much as they were, they refined the stuff here"
Delta Squad has been exposed to imulsion but not to a extreme degree
@@scowler92 so was Char
