For me I wasnt intially vibing with the song, but after maybe a 10 or 15 replays I freaking love it man. It has that emotional impact that I wasn't expecting. Easily my favorite worlds song since phoenix and rise. Riot hit it out of the park
it's funny how many of the Worlds Anthems are this way i wasn't a huge fan of Ignite for a bit, but i've listened to it a few times and my god it grew on me so hard
You also have to love the visuals because it's always Deft looking up at everyone else as he gets knocked down again and again, as if they're on a higher level and therefore unreachable, but at the end the point of view changes so that you can see the struggle is still there, but Deft overcomes it until finally he's the one whose being looked up upon. The one who finally won, after so many years. It's really beautiful.
Personally its up there just behind legends never die & Rise for top 3 worlds songs. Animation was insane and perfectly illustrated deft's journey, and the song was incredible. I was skeptical about how nwjns would do with this kind of sound but their individual strengths were utilized so well.
@@th6410 Warriors is not even close to top 3. Animation and story was mediocre compared to the last 5-6 years, and the song is nowhere near as good for an anthem. I'd put warriors closer to worlds collide, ignite & burn it all down.
I've watched this Anthem several times yesterday and today and I still get tears in my eyes everytime I watch it. I think they capture the emotions so well in these animations and they're perfectly in sync with the music.
SAME I had tears ever since I watched it and still do. A lot of people don't understand and see it as "mid tier" or not "hype" song but this isn't the main thing here. It's more deep, and boy does it hit really deep. I'm not even a fan of Deft or whatever btw...
I would like to see this trend of Riot honoring the players' stories and the champions they played during the Worlds tournament continue. It's so dang cool!!!!! Especially when you have a story like THIS. "GODS" video was 11/10, NewJeans song was 9/10 for me! An absolute banger, and I cry every time Deft does every single time I watch it. 10/10 overall; they nailed it!
It felt good to hear and made me get pumped. The video really helped as well. The story and animation was perfect. If faker wins this year oh the song next year with this animation its gonna be so fucking good
This is the best worlds song yet honestly. The song itself is great, but the story told, the way they framed it with Deft facing all these former teammates of his later on in his career. It's perfect.
Probably its Keria & Faker at the end because of the storylines around that time. Him vs Faker going to the samw school, Keria having promised to win him a worlds titles etc. Everything is very connected to real life storylines. Previous teammates he beat during the 2022 worlds run and so on. The first scene is a nod to how he said in an interview that he was slept on at school despite being Challenger, because the rank 1 was in the same school which happened to be Faker.
The Ga ga ga part of Gods gives me the chills whenever i hear this song. It reminds me of crows in the background which always symbolizes bad luck as well as destiny. And how it was incorporated in this song is nothing short of phenomenal.
such a good reaction! personally i dont know much about LOL im a new jeans stan, but this was such an interesting video!! the song feels anthem-ic?? so cool!!
The story is visualized so cool. First with Samsung Blue against PawN and Samsung White, he lost. Afterwards the korean exodus happenend Then EDG with Meiko where they lost against Fnatic Then on DragonX with Keria vs Canyon and Showmaker (his new teammates) Then 2022 Worlds against all his former teammates EDG with Meiko in quarters, GenG Doran. They played together in DRX in 2020. and of cause Keria and Endboss Faker in finals. Would have loved to see a bit more of the champs abilities, but i guess its hard to make adc fights look cool and interesting when other roles have cool abilities and all they do is auto attack.
Fun fact : It's the second time Faker's been killed in a cinematic, first is Rise where he got killed by Ambition's Jarvan as Ryze and now getting killed by Deft's Cait as Viktor (It was Aatrox who killed Faker during the backdoor but it doesn't fit with the story so...)
Adter watching so many reactions to the new song, i LOVED yours, because you know the shit !! You recognize them all, you know the story... man that was a delight to see your video thx for that
i love when one watch this and have the experience for recognize all "lore" in this video, step by step instead go for a random reaction just for click,
F yes the video starts with a fat W. Rise was peak indeed my god that song and the video smack so hard. The first time you saw Faker walk in as Ryze with the hint at his titles was like god daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.
With how Worlds is playing out, I cannot freaking wait to see next years worlds video if T1 and Faker win, with animation like this and the storylines they could use, my god.
The fun part about this song is that if you put RISE and similar songs it fits the video too thank god they learned from that "Starwalking" mistake back to the good ol' songs Gladge
@Geeageee I think warriors is really good, but it's kind of carried by the nostalgia of the world's performance with all the Teiko drums. Still good, but not as good as many think. That said I'd love to hear the opinion of someone who never saw that worlds intro
Every year Riot raises the bar for these hype songs....well until 2022 which ruined World's and created a new low. But they came back and completely made up for it with this.
What did you think of the Worlds Anthem for 2023?
Absolute banger this year! Makes me excited to watch worlds with the sack
Banger!!
Ez 10/10
I love it, the whole animation, the song. Riot really stepped up their game this year.
banger song, but not an anthem, no hype, no energy :/ Would've fit more as something like KD/A or True Damage imo
For me I wasnt intially vibing with the song, but after maybe a 10 or 15 replays I freaking love it man. It has that emotional impact that I wasn't expecting. Easily my favorite worlds song since phoenix and rise. Riot hit it out of the park
same here. I thought it was okay the first listen, but it got better each time I heard it.
1. Rise
2. Legends Never Die
3. Warriors
4. Burn it all down
5. Take Over
Then the rest
it's funny how many of the Worlds Anthems are this way
i wasn't a huge fan of Ignite for a bit, but i've listened to it a few times and my god it grew on me so hard
Man don't forget Legends never Die
@@Habeev07 Burn it all down is absolutely ass. Replace it with Gods and that's probably how it will play out in the long term
If T1 somehow wins this year, there will be the "unkillable demon king" in the next year's song. That would be so sick.
what do you mean somehow? they're definitely one of the favorites going in. especially with faker's recent win at the asian games.
Ruler and Chovy also won asian games@@CSRT123
(and Kanavi)
@@CSRT123 At this point, i can't hanging on their achievements only. I'll just hang on the fate :")
I think they go more the demon returns home. Considering it’s a Korean worlds.
my fav worlds song/vid theyve done since either Rise or Pheonix, very solid. Glad they did the thing of re-enacting kinda the last worlds storyline.
Very much so agree.
Wow didn't think such a short evaluation would summarise my feelings about this video/song, but I completely agree
1. Rise
2. Legends Never Die
3. Warriors
4. Burn it all down
5. Take Over
Then the rest
@@Habeev07 For me 1. Rise 2. Warriors 3. Phoenix and from that I don‘t rly know but legends never die is very high up there prob 4th

The one who finally won, after so many years. It's really beautiful.
I prefer this style. Great song with beautiful animation. It just feels like a worlds song. I wasn't the biggest fan on star walkin
I agree as a worlds anthem. But if i had to add one worlds song to my regular playlist it would be star walkin
No one like star walkin
Star walkin was a decent song but definitely not for worlds. Just felt so disappointing
Yeah, Star Walkin was a great song, but not a Worlds anthem. This definitely is
It’s racist and quite frankly homophobic to not like star walkin
Cant believe they got NewJeans for it, been loving their sorta rnb influenced stuff
yup!!
Personally its up there just behind legends never die & Rise for top 3 worlds songs. Animation was insane and perfectly illustrated deft's journey, and the song was incredible. I was skeptical about how nwjns would do with this kind of sound but their individual strengths were utilized so well.
Did you forget about Warrior lol?
@@th6410 Warriors is not even close to top 3. Animation and story was mediocre compared to the last 5-6 years, and the song is nowhere near as good for an anthem.
I'd put warriors closer to worlds collide, ignite & burn it all down.
@@maekoh Well that's just a ... unique opinion and I can respect that.
Jar Jar Binks vibes
These worlds themes clips are made for the finest connoisseurs like yamato, man is getting every single ref remembering every match from every year.
I've watched this Anthem several times yesterday and today and I still get tears in my eyes everytime I watch it. I think they capture the emotions so well in these animations and they're perfectly in sync with the music.

Same, especially when it hits the chorus, it's just different
I would like to see this trend of Riot honoring the players' stories and the champions they played during the Worlds tournament continue. It's so dang cool!!!!! Especially when you have a story like THIS. "GODS" video was 11/10, NewJeans song was 9/10 for me!

It felt good to hear and made me get pumped. The video really helped as well. The story and animation was perfect. If faker wins this year oh the song next year with this animation its gonna be so fucking good
3:53 his reaction when he saw Keria standing got me in tears, 10/10 impact
and here we are t1 won worlds
i loved the small lyric change from the "you" in the first pre chorus to the "I" in the second. it elevates the storytelling so much imo
This is the best worlds song yet honestly. The song itself is great, but the story told, the way they framed it with Deft facing all these former teammates of his later on in his career. It's perfect.
this song is like the phoenix song, you need to listen to it few times but it grows on you
Finally, a song that actually fits the theme.
Probably its Keria & Faker at the end because of the storylines around that time. Him vs Faker going to the samw school, Keria having promised to win him a worlds titles etc.
Everything is very connected to real life storylines. Previous teammates he beat during the 2022 worlds run and so on.

I actually liked this song sm and its really perfect with the animation
Musics and animations are cool. The storyline featured is the best ever
The Ga ga ga part of Gods gives me the chills whenever i hear this song. It reminds me of crows in the background which always symbolizes bad luck as well as destiny. And how it was incorporated in this song is nothing short of phenomenal.

First with Samsung Blue against PawN and Samsung White, he lost. Afterwards the korean exodus happenend
Then EDG with Meiko where they lost against Fnatic
Then on DragonX with Keria vs Canyon and Showmaker (his new teammates)
Then 2022 Worlds against all his former teammates
EDG with Meiko in quarters,
GenG Doran. They played together in DRX in 2020.
and of cause Keria and Endboss Faker in finals. Would have loved to see a bit more of the champs abilities, but i guess its hard to make adc fights look cool and interesting when other roles have cool abilities and all they do is auto attack.
After listening to this all day I am confident to say that it is just as good as RISE!!! Top 3 definitely..
Not possible.
1. Rise
2. Legends Never Die
3. Warriors
4. Burn it all down
5. Take Over
Then the rest
@@Habeev07it’s their opinion why u gotta copy paste this same comment everywhere
@@Habeev07 bruh take over is NOT top five. Just a rise copy
@@Habeev07 we get it man you are spamming this everywhere, chill dude
I loveee when they make these videos, like RISE and how they told the story. AMAZING
Yamato, man, I love your passion and enthusiasm. Never change.
Fun fact : It's the second time Faker's been killed in a cinematic, first is Rise where he got killed by Ambition's Jarvan as Ryze and now getting killed by Deft's Cait as Viktor (It was Aatrox who killed Faker during the backdoor but it doesn't fit with the story so...)
Even in the take over music video faker fought but pretty sure he didnt die lol
@@nikolismoore2276that is tian
I just gonna enjoy this world23 no matter which team would win. After listening this anthem I just wonder who would be next deft.
5:02 The "wo-oh-oh-oooh" synced way too well XD
Adter watching so many reactions to the new song, i LOVED yours, because you know the shit !! You recognize them all, you know the story... man that was a delight to see your video thx for that
Let me guest next year world anthem themes , it will be return of kings that had reclaim its throne in style fashion LOL
We love you Yamato!!! So excited for worlds 23. 1 more day!
Honestly nothing better than lore story videos by Riot
Not really like it the first time, but i kept playing it in the background and now it's just stuck in my head. It's actually LIT
Your reaction is perfect than others
song itself i'd say is upper middle tier but the visuals are S tier. very solid when combined, I like it that's what worlds song should be like imo 👍
Id say the animation is A but the story is S
The song is good and a solid 8/10 but that video... OMG BEST EVA!
Deft really was that dude. Such a sick video and a banging fucking song
My boy Hans Sama went unrecognised again
Heart, unbreakable - love the reference to Deft's famous interview❤
2:37 . Hairstyle, jersey colors, D as first letter, ADC ... I thought this was TL Doublelift at first
NOW THAT'S A GOOD REACTION…… Someone actually understood the references…
worlds will always be best when Riot focuses on the players
The visuals and the story are both S tier.
The song is so good. Probably the best since Rise. It's sad to see so many people shitting on it(
Great reaction and beautiful animation and song. 10/10
this is the best reaction to GODS I've seen thank you it's excellent
Your voice is so soothing Yamato!!
Song banger
Video banger
Reaction banger
The song is good cause its new jeans! They sang it
the angelic voice in the background is actually the first line of the song with GA-GA-GA-GA-GA-GODS
i love when one watch this and have the experience for recognize all "lore" in this video, step by step instead go for a random reaction just for click,
That "Okey" was pitch perfect :D
F yes the video starts with a fat W. Rise was peak indeed my god that song and the video smack so hard. The first time you saw Faker walk in as Ryze with the hint at his titles was like god daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.
This is RISE quality. Holy shit
With how Worlds is playing out, I cannot freaking wait to see next years worlds video if T1 and Faker win, with animation like this and the storylines they could use, my god.
Me and 4 of my friends were playing ARAM when this dropped and we AFK'd to watch it together 😆Worth
The fun part about this song is that if you put RISE and similar songs it fits the video too thank god they learned from that "Starwalking" mistake back to the good ol' songs Gladge
seems like everyone that isnt american loves the song XD
Huge fan of the story animation, the animation style in general as well as the overall tone. The song itself is a bit meh but it works well enough.
The title of the next song must be "FAKER" itself
Nothing can beat "Warriors" but yea great song this year and the animation look rlly good too
Rise?
@@FriedDoggy Rise is good but Warriors is still better imo
The more acoustic version of warriors maybe, but the Imagine Dragons Warriors was overrated imo
@Geeageee I think warriors is really good, but it's kind of carried by the nostalgia of the world's performance with all the Teiko drums. Still good, but not as good as many think. That said I'd love to hear the opinion of someone who never saw that worlds intro
Ngl I think warriors is mid af compared to the recent worlds songs. Rise is for sure the best imo at least.
Crying inside as a SKT fan through out the last few years
Shame Showmaker and DWG peak was so shortlived, hes such a cool villain tbh
the video is insane
song is alright but the video is amazing
I wish the one skill that knocked down deft from point blank hitting keria was guma varus arrow(which somewhat swung the momentum
worlds babyyyyy
The initial shot of faker and deft in school is because they went to the same school before going pro. Defts story is kinda nutty
Really hope t1 can win this year for fakers redemption
He has been the villian for so many of these videos
Laughs in WBG
@@real.silencewenchwish you nothing but the worst
@@real.silencewenchJDG's Golden Road stopped HEEEEEERE
how come they never made one for LPL hahaha
also 999 for the 3 dices at the end is so cool😁
you can put this song in evry worlds song video and hits fcking awesome
he has the dad jokes already, my mans gone
Imagine i was looking for a reaction like this, gave up then the algorithm really said "fine, I'll do it myself" 😅
Vocals hit different 😌
True. Riot is back in their prime.
did he just ult blue buff 😭
u loved it and I loved your reaction x) magic ty
Giant Doran is my favorite part, it's so funny 😂
love you yama baba nice reactions man 😊
finally a good reaction!!!
the feels
Already in my top 3 along with rise and legends never die
nice MV
As a fan of deft since Samsung Galaxy I approve this one.
Some people want a rock band-like power, but that's not the kind of song this is. This song is more like a choir song.
Cinematic: 10/10
Song: 7/10
Agreed
Somehow nobody recognises Meiko lol
he did in fact recognize meiko
Fun fact: faker and deft are schoolmates in highschool
Very cool ❤❤
I see the notification I click It's not much but it's simple work
Better than Star Walkin’
Turning the Deft aiming down Keria shot into and IWD meme would be priceless but idk if I can afford being hunted down like an animal by T1 fans
I hope T1 win🙏🏻 i wanna see a Worlds Anthem titled Demon King
👍👍👍👍👍
"wheres the Bard?" made me realize the portal that DRX uses to save Deft at the end is a bard portal @yomatocannon
Every year Riot raises the bar for these hype songs....well until 2022 which ruined World's and created a new low. But they came back and completely made up for it with this.
If T1 wins, Will Riot make a song of Keria?
pierwsze 10 sekund ZAJEBISTE KOLEGA potem do wyjebnia
I wish you had been chosen to co-stream Worlds😢
Is it rebook or nike?
