Blood Will Tell - Best Game You've Never Played [Bumbles McFumbles]

Support me on Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/bumb...
The overlap between fans of Bumbles McFumbles and Dororo is probably like 1 guy, but what a day that guy is about to have.

Honestly, the idea of having 48 body parts removed and replaced by parts of a doll sounds as much a base for a horror game as it is an action game. Though I will say I'm honestly surprised they went through with having you permanently lose an arm blade after regaining the real deal. In general the concept is super neat in how it's handled.

[@nobgs4505]

I do like how they have you lose an armblade, but at the same time you don't feel hindered cause it lets you use a sword with your other armblade.

[@PixelHeroViish]

I really liked the way they did that, it was unusual and crazy but seriously cool The unfortunate part is when you do beat the final Fiend, you permanently lose the machine gun and can only dual wield the swords that used to be in your arms but not any other combination of weapons. The only actual downgrade, I'm pretty sure

[@Sanodi21]

​@@PixelHeroViishBut it still makes sense and great they actually follow through on it, even if it has a negative impact.

[@PixelHeroViish]

@@Sanodi21 Yeah it DOES make perfect sense in the context of the universe, I personally just think it's a bit strange to have dual wielding only be available with two specific swords and not have the machine gun be usable like the leg cannon. It's a small fumble if anything

In the manga and animes I believe he uses it with his mouth, but I could be wrong.

[@TimedRevolver]

Well, if you plan on killing the fiends that took your bits, you should probably have a sword in case killing them returns what they took.

[@santinogirado5487]

Funnily enough, Katanas were used by the Samurai as a last resort weapon, as in "I lost every other weapon i had on me so i gotta use this piece of shit"

"This is just violent Pinocchio." Jack, this is one of Tezuka's work. Between Astroboy and his love of Disney film at the time this is definitely hitting the nail on the head.

People like saying Doom guy to angry to die, well Hyakkumaru is too much of a vegetable to die

[@beebs4283]

its implied hyakkimaru is blessed by buddha and this combined with his own sheer force of will is why he fails to die. he can kill demons because he can “see” the shape snd location of their souls

My first experience with Dorororo was the 2019 anime. In other words, _"Party is over!"_

[@richardomilos8686]

İ recently finished it and it was sick.

[@maromania7]

I have to applaud you for the semicolon joke. Didnt get a laugh, more of a "pause, stare into the distance for a moment with a dumbfounded half-smirk that turns into a grin," it was really clever!

[@blackheartzerotheundergrou3225]

Ever since I heard of it, I thought Dororo was a cool story with a cool concept. Kinda surreal to learn that we had a game based on it all along, and localized too!

[@SwannyTheMike]

I remember seeing this at the rental store all the time as a kid, but always wound up picking something else instead like the Shark Tale game. ...I was an intensely stupid child.

[@akenohononiku916]

To be fair, the name of the game leaves much to be desired

[@Jokoko2828]

I'm loving the "Kill a demon, get a rib" mechanic this game has going, it's really cool. Oh and speaking of weird anime action games from this period no one's ever heard of, try Maken X.

[@jurtheorc8117]

Very much second Maken X/Maken Shao! I'm mainly known with it through the enemy and character designs by Kazuma Kaneko. The weird art house puzzle block bondage enemy with bow on the leg and robotic sword bracelet on the arm will probably never leave my mind. Same with the Arabian warrior in the gyroscope turret thing and the Inverse Spider-Man/Bane Two Face with the double bladed shield.

[@ShinyGaara65]

This definitely has Osamu Tezuka's DNA inside it, and I think I love that. Tezuka was an actual surgeon, it's where his knowledge came from to make Black Jack (one of my favorite manga), AKA God with a scalpel. His favorite thing was taking what's supposed to work and making it fantastic and nonsensical. Hence why Hyakkimaru can run around with porcelain limbs and just a hippocampus and small intestine. It's like his fans and haters are going "But that doesn't make logical sense!" and Tezuka just replied with "So? It's cool."

[@M.F.Hafizhan]

Holy shit Tezuka was an actual surgeon? What an absolute chad

[@Sigurdr78]

Jack, you’re like a good luck charm. I just found a few limited edition Yugioh cards in my basement while listening to this video, turns out they might actually be worth something. Keep up the awesome work, big guy!!

[@beebs4283]

i cannot describe how astounded i was to randomly check your channel, having been subbed for a few months, only to find an hour long dororo video. you cannot possibly understand what dororo and osamu tezuka’s works mean to me except for me to say that for the past three days ive submerged myself in tezuka official and fan made works. in general ive loved his works for like 17 years. hyakkimaru in particular is one of the most meaningful characters i’ve ever encountered in my life. tezuka works, despite having so much importance to anime and manga, and being so popular in japan, have little popularity in the english sphere of the world. i struggle to find people who can recognize even astro boy, much less my favorites like rainbow parakeet or midnight. it means so, so, so much to me to see a video essay on one of my favorite things ever, on something that contains my third favorite character of all time. thank you

[@beebs4283]

i finally got the chance to watch this, and i’m so glad that if anyone made this video it was you. your sense of humor is incredible and it really carried itself through this video. i was constantly cackling, but especially whenever hyakki got a body part back. tezuka really went overboard with making it 48 body parts, huh? it was always kind of absurd (enough that the anime considerably trimmed the number down), but seeing the highly specific body parts show up was just too funny. i’m so glad you enjoyed dororo, and since you did i have a recommendation for you. i think you should play Astro Boy: Omega Factor. not for a video or anything, just because it’s genuinely really good. it’s pretty amazing that tezuka productions put out two legitimately good licensed games in the 00s. that game is what kickstarted my interest in tezuka’s works, and therefore was the best present i’ve ever received. i hope you enjoy it if you give it a spin.

[@NoahDaArk]

I’ve already watched this video three times since it came out roughly 24 hours ago. Suffice to say I think this might be my favorite Bumbles video

[@felixdaniels37]

Since we're on Tezuka works now, I'm honestly hoping this series gets to touch on Astro Boy: Omega Factor. That game is a masterpiece, and easily one of the best games on the GBA.

[@samuelsolomon7330]

Really good game, crazy hard though. One of the bosses is even modeled after Jungle Emporer Leo (kimba for the anime onlys).

[@fonofiofone]

Some pretty dang good Treasure.

[@beebs4283]

i think i would actually cry tears of joy

[@vtmarik]

I absolutely loved this game... until I got to the final boss and didn't have enough ammo to shoot it and thus could not complete it.

[@D00D64]

Man, just the other day, I remembered this game and was STRUGGLING to remember the name of it. It's hard to forget the concept of a guy being born with missing parts and slowly gaining them all back.

[@DanGamingFan2406]

It's always fun learning about these underrated masterpieces from you. I'd love to try this.

[@waifuenthusiast789]

fun fact, i didnt know dororo's creator at the time i played this, so i was confused "where is tezuka osamu?" as in a character in the game "what is a dororo?"

[@DragonKingYara]

Ngl kinda shocked we didn’t get a video for Bakugan’s weird minigame collection and its weirdly voice acted sequel: but seeing an adaptation of Dororo is really cool! Especially given Osamu Tezuka’s legendary portfolio

[@ShadowKnux372]

Bumbles is just a grab-bag of content and I love it, you never know what sort of off-the-wall decision he'll make for a video, but he WILL make it a treat to go through. :D (I kinda want to see him talk about Enter the Gungeon one day, talking about a game with as many goofball weapons as that would be fun.)

[@Heyimconnor]

[@jimboanimations4041]

Another classic Bumbles video. Obscure anime video games always go crazy.

[@hariodinio]

After reading the original run of Dororo, I can say that the art juxtaposing the tone is actually quite charming. It lets the darker bits catch you by surprise with the characters looking soft and round.

[@TheThiccestChungus]

"but without the large intestine, the small intestine is really more of a semicolon" holy fucking shit I'm dying.

[@juli7649]

You know what you said about unsuccessful Disney movies reminded me of G-Force and the license game that came with it. Compared to other license games from the era it was actually surprisingly good and at least for me it‘s sort of a hidden gem. So perhaps it would be good subject to talk about in one of your future videos.

[@dragonlash]

AYYYYY DORORO CONTENT!!! I kill for this series, especially since the reboot is sick!!! Im glad you covered this game!

[@kaitoshigure9085]

Having played this game myself a long time ago and being able to watch the anime, I must admit that while the true final boss is asinine the fact that Dororo actually has Hyakkimaru's final body part is twist I wished the new anime had.

[@appelofdoom8211]

Gotta appreciate them turning Dororo, who's basically just a pickpocket into a yokai slaying fistfighting badass. Like seriously her essentially bein hyakki's equal is just funny to me.

[@JackrabbitArchive]

Dear Jack, sorry that rock guy's spawn on the last part of the bridge section making you go through a 10 minute section all over again, that was really weird

[@jurtheorc8117]

This comes at a perfect time. A friend of mine on Twitch (JALpocalypse) recently played through this game and had a decent/positive time with it, initially playing it as just relaxation and one-off for inbetween other series. Ended up enjoying it so much he finished it all the way through, and he similarly hated the final boss (yet still likes the game). To see stuff like this is cool. He also had music requests a few times for some bosses, and i absolutely ruined the Maimai'onba fight by requesting Smoking Roll from the God Hand OST. Thanks for taking the time to make this video, and wish you good luck and fun on further ones! Here's to hoping some games i'm known with may cross thine path, it was very entertaining to watch and i'm eager for more!

[@Sarimaximus]

I actually DID play this game! I played it with my sister, because it's 2 player, and second player plays as Dororo. it was hella fun, but also hella janky.

[@TekTheNinja]

Because Dororo had the anime in 2019 which got decent praise, I didn't have it pictured as too obscure tbh.

[@terracottagecheese2767]

I can't believe I've never heard of this! Dororo is one of my favorite series ever (especially the 2019 anime version) and I thought I had consumed every bit of content there is for it! Outside of Astro Boy and (maybe) Black Jack, not many people are familiar with the majority of Tezuka's work here in the west; specifically Dororo in this instance. So seeing a video on an incredibly obscure adaption of this already obscure series makes me so very happy.

[@jamjarworks]

24:27 “…he scampers off to a tar pit where you move super slow and can’t jump high.” Well, at least Hyakkimaru’s one hell of a guy. HUH!

I had no doubt the developers poured their love into the game, even with its little flaws - it was just so creative. I never knew the history of the manga!

[@samuelsolomon7330]

I miss when buying used video games for older consoles was affordable. Greed can cause a lot of harm to art as well as to people.

I think this is the same company who made the old berserk game, you should review that one too its amazing. its called Berserk: Millennium Falcon Hen Seima Senki no Shō and because its japan only its a hustle to get the english patch but its worth it as its the best berserk game to exist (not a high bar though)
