Fun fact professional jesters (ones who werent simply disabled or mentally challenged like some of them were) were actually pretty powerful in politics, rhey were openly allowed to mock anyone or anything including the king, and were often also a voice of reason because of such, they could point out any problems or dumb decisions with zero reason to hold back about the stupidity of them, and could paint anything in a bad light with no consequences, they also were often the okes to give bad news to the king because of this immunity, and they often would give advice to the king aswell, they also played a part in antagonizing and enraging enemies toakw them act out and make poor decisions. Theres even a case where a jester was going to be executed but the jester made a joke so good the king instead only exiled him.

They weren't just entertainers. They would often have special duties like caring for the kings hounds, keeping track of public opinion, maintaining morale when traveling with armies in times of war, organizing psychological warfare to demoralise enemies just before battle, and going on risky diplomatic missions where they might be killed (sometimes they would send the court jester who was literate and a good speaker so a noble wouldn't have to risk their life). Court jesters had to be more educated than most to fulfill such a wide range of duties and they were highly respected for it.

[@denisgavrylenko3684]

So what I did understand :the jester was a poor kid ,or a slave; then he got saved by the female knight ,( who he fell in love with; maybe) . 3:20 You see the memory of her giving him the mask , maybe she insisted on him becoming the jester, then she clearly tells him to always smile . At first the jester seems happy entertaining people; but then comes the female knight's execution (2:10 ) and he goes insane (2:37). After he proceds going to kill the king, but fails, resulting in his death, with a guillotine and his head getting chopped off . The people look shocked (3:55) because they seen him as a good person. Then he, presumably makes a deal with a demon and revives, starting a rebbellion and killing the king (with magic !? cause he doesn't touch the king directly but he starts spitting blood and then colapses on the floor ) . Personally I thought that the last phrase "Let me the fool, let me, the jester, a new saga now compose" meant start a new era. Only one thing the book? That the king holds at 4:22 - 4:23 4:57 he holds it even in the moments of his death.; 5:02 the book has an eye on it , is it the illuminati ? or some sort of book of onniscience. The jester says at 4:53 " All the power in the world could never save you now" is he reffering to the book? Does it hold magical power? 5:10 - 5:15 Upon further rewatch, Is the jester giving that book to the demon?

[@ExGabranth91]

I love how his face depicts his mask after the beheading, pretty much showing how he was revived by the demon king as the very thing he depicted. In a world of cruelty and cold calculation, a world where he took the role of a jester to undermine the evil kings plans, the female knight showed him, that his role as a jester fits him well, she reminded him how to smile and what it means to be a jester. It probably helped him realizing that this role was meant for him, not just to undermine the evil king but also to enjoy his life, entertain people around him and inspire them. He embreaced to be a jester and in the end, the demon king revived him as such: a demonic jester.

[@bryceflaming3702]

I like that when the jester returns from the dead his face and the mask have merged, a nice touch along with the little horns.

I like the idea that the part of jester's deal with the demon was so everytime king dies after resurrection he will just be ressurect again so the jester can torture and kill him over and over again and this time he has no army to protect himself or a Castel to hide in.

Fun fact, being the jester wasn’t as bad as some people think, you get to roast the shit out of the king and as long as you make it a joke and still make a fool out of yourself you get the “Cmon he’s just the funny man” excuse On top of that you get to live in the castle, Plus, ironically the guy wearing a silly outfit and singing/taunting people like a cartoon character was one of the smartest men in the room

jesters were also typically the king's advisor because the jester was the realest mfer in the room

[@redacted1766]

So basically, CJ court jester, who aperes to have very little memories, works as an informant trying to overthrow an evil king. Along the way he meets a female knight who he loves. She was reportedly killed on a mission (potentially on the kings orders), this causes CJ to go insane and try to murder the shit out of the king but he is captured and publicly executed. Seeing the king execute someone who was both a beloved figure head and a child the towns people start a revolt. Although he is finally reunited with the love of his life he makes a contract with a demon to overthrow the kingdom, and in exchange he returns an evil magical book that the king used or he became a servant of the dark lord forever and always.

I love that instead of killing the king himself, he saw the cracks in his rule and sparked a revolution that would take him down. A revenge from the grave. As I was watching and it kept referencing how people’s times were coming to a close, I imagined that he had the ability to see people’s lifespans and took upon himself to kill anyone whose time ran out and protect anyone who still had time left.

I get so many ideas from songs like these! It's already coming to me; A Jester-like entity that is a messenger of the devil? He's sent to tell the king he's dying soon, but goes rogue and ends up taking the kingdom over. It'd sort of make sense because Jesters were tasked with delivering bad news to the king and jesters are just kickass villains.

Fun fact jesters were actually really important to a kingdoms for they gave opinions of the country without being executed and they held military secrets and kingdom secrets and personal information of the king and they were also used to send military messages to the king because most people wouldn't want to kill a "useless jester" that was a very common idea.

[@tuluppampam]

Jesters could, at times, deliver bad news freely without problems, but they weren't as important as they're made out to be They were mostly there to entertain, and most were professional in that specific job, even travelling around in many courts The delivery of more important messages was left to more important people, who would have been received properly and may as well be considered a guarantee of its authenticity

After so much time I just now read the description, and it recontextualized the entire story for me. Even if the king was a bit suspicious and the Jester a bit emotionally confused, it always felt like the Jester was the bad guy in the beginning. Suddenly every scene evokes a different feeling.

[@Qmanz-qu2rj]

[@theoverlord3937]

Alright so let me see if I got this right. Jester was originally some kind of peasant, possibly even a slave, that was rescued by a female knight (FK). Jester grows attached to FK and is afraid to leave her side, but she encourages him to go out, reminding him how to smile. This may have influenced Jester’s chosen career path, becoming the king’s jester. He reunited with FK, who gives him his signature mask, and possibly also falling in love with him. Jester becomes a beloved part of the community, as he turns out to be a damn good jester, endearing himself to those around him. This is all turned on its head, however, when the king has the FK killed, possibly because she was involved with a growing resistance against him. Jester, seeing that the one person he actually loved was now dead, goes off the deep end, plotting to murder the king and spreading state secrets. His attempt on the king’s life fails and results in Jester’s beheading, but the damage is already done. Given his expression prior to execution, it’s likely Jester had already made his pact with the demon to ensure the king is brought down, promising to return the tome the king apparently has to its demonic owner. Seeing such a beloved member of the community killed before them is the last straw, and catalyzes the rebellion of the citizens. The king sends all his guards out to control the frenzied populace, leaving himself defenseless for the revived Jester. His face now bears the markings of his signature mask, and small horns are growing from his forehead. Jester at last takes his revenges, and returns the tome to his demonic patron. As part of this deal, he and FK are reincarnated into the modern day, where they can reunite without the tyrannical king looming over them. Based on other videos, it’s possible the demon incarnated themself as well, serving as a companion to Jester and learning to let go of their rage, I think. How’d I do? EDIT: Scrubbing through the other vids, I think I’ve got the whole story, it seems the demon also had a rivalry with a different, blue-haired knight who ALSO reincarnated. The demon seems to be at least partially amnesiac, failing to recognize their ancient rival or the reason why he wants to make them into an orange pincushion, while he seems to remember everything. It’s unclear whether the reincarnation was intentional on the demon’s part or due to some influence from an ancient witch named Ellen based on other videos.

[@MrTroves]

This is just a theory based on the lyrics I heard. The King was old and possibly sick and dying. However, unwilling to die he turned to the occult in order to not only find a cure, but also extend his life by rejuvenating himself. This suggests that the reason that the Female Knight died was because the King sacrificed her in order to save himself, thus why during the announcement that she's dead he seemed to be a lot more active and healthy... Considering that the Jester was a confidant of the King (albeit one that was plotting against him), The Jester almost certainly knew the King was dying and the lengths he was going to in order to try and stop it... and it was when he saw that the King was *miraculously* healthy while announcing the death of his beloved that he put two and two together.

Very late to the party cuz I watched this long ago and didn’t comment, but you NEED to hear again how absolutely incredible this is. I’ve always found jesters such a cool concept, being one myself lol. You told a beautiful story through a song and the animatic is always unbelievably satisfying to watch. It’s the kind of story I would see myself go though (excluding the magic stuff) and it’s such a cool way to portray a jester, as a normal man with a job, to someone who lost everything he loved to the man he serves, and letting revenge take its course, with the cool as fuck demon plotline. I love it with all my heart. Keep at this beautiful stuff. You deserve all the praise you got for this masterpiece.
