[@redroseibarahime8755]

watching the behind the scenes explains the story(telling) in the video :) I highly recommend to watch it for context. This is more or less an introduction of how the Darkin champion Varus was created.

[@vaughanage24]

These 2 lovers were fighting to protect their home when one of them is injured. He is taken by his brother-in-arms to the fountain, where they fall in and are taken by the Darkin, Varus. He fuses their souls together in the form of his body, and his corrupted bow. "One of the ancient darkin, Varus Varus was a deadly killer who loved to torment his foes, driving them almost to insanity before delivering the killing arrow. He was imprisoned at the end of the Great Darkin War, but escaped centuries later in the remade flesh of two Ionia Crest icon Ionian hunters-they had unwittingly released him, cursed to bear the bow containing his bound essence. Varus now seeks out those who trapped him, in order to enact his brutal vengeance, but the mortal souls within still resist him every step of the way. "

[@Gabriel_Lima0910]

Lovers. Its canon.

[@WhoEustace]

"brother-in-arms" my sibling in christ they literally call each other their heartlights in the comic, they are in LOVE love 😅

[@vaughanage24]

@WhoEustace yes they did, this was the story BEFORE the comic, they retconned his story, but good addition

[@vaughanage24]

Edited it to be correct, thanks to all the input

[@Exxyo]

@@WhoEustace "My sibling in christ", just because he said they are brothers in arms (which they are) doesn't mean they are not lovers, chill a bit about your gay romances, we all can see they are in love.

[@TaiGell]

If you really want to understand what is happening here, you can watch video by Dinka Kay (Dinka Kay EXPLAINS - As We Fall | Varus Music Video - League of Legends) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaa8nYeBo7KXoM0

[@Santi_1588]

Those 2 guys were lovers and Varus is a darkin who got a physical form. Varus is the main controller of the body but both lovers still speak to Varus in his mind.

[@Shuzo667]

Waiting for Legends of Runeterra's cinematic “BREATHE” next. It's one of my favorites.

[@maxmin7107]

YES ! Breathe is such a masterpiece too !

[@zaqxswcdelpmko]

Can't wait!!

[@GassyGoat]

Ooh that one is really good!

[@kevinmalone7167]

Let's get this upvoted!

[@Shythalia]

The song will get you a copyright strike. Just watch the one without the music.

[@cesarenriquecarranzajordan3535]

The character is called Varus. It's a darkin a criature that were imprisoned in their weapons in this case a bow and to escape they need a host to use like his new body. He mixed the two lovers to make a new body but he couldn't erase their mind so he often battles with them for the control of the body

[@DarkParn]

You need to check out Necrit. He goes really in depth in League's lore. League's newest champ Naafiri is like Varus in that she has multiple souls. I'd say watch that champion cinematic, it's not really musical but it looks cool.

[@bbmarioni89]

Yes please

[@dragontino32]

1. You should react to "Breathe" Next 2. Explain of the video: 2 hunters (that were also lovers) go to a temple to try and heal the wounds of one of them, but there was a darckin (bad dude) sealed in there, and he uses his powers to consume their bodies and break the seal

[@LoLGamer-se1sz]

I will keep recommending BREATHE until we get it! Also, this story is actually 3 parts. 1st Comic Part 1 2nd The cinematic you just watched 3rd. Comic Part 2 You can find it by typing this into google. Varus: Heartlight - Comics - Universe of League of Legends

[@HugoSantos-yv3vk]

Basically this is a story of how a champion that's in the game came to be, the two humans were lovers and one of them got hurt in the war that they were fighting, so the other tried to save him, taking him to a demon that was being sealed and the three of them now share the same body as the ultimate archer. Fun fact the demon itself was a human that lived on that universes version of Egypt and was basically turned into a god(there are many and they all represent Egyptian gods like Anubis), and then corrupted by the power of a alternate dimension that is like a black hole and wants only to devour everything. You should definitely watch a video that sums up the story of the LOL universe, it will blow your mind how interesting and intricate it is, for being a backstory for a pvp game.

[@Haazheelt]

This is already the part 2. There is a comics before this video that you can read on Riot website. The video pictures the mental fight between 2 ionians lovers and warriors and an entity sealed in a well. The well is supposed to be magic but it's a prison for a dark power. One of the lover is injured ans his mate wants to heal him in the well. The dark entity, a darkin, takes easily over the injuried warrior who wants to died peacefully, but his life is low, in the other hand the second warrior is angry and lifefull... The dark entity decides to assimilate the two but their love is too strong, so they don't disappear and the archer Varus is the result of three beings.

[@keegansantoroski9042]

I loved the comics that went with the music video.

[@TheRatedOniChannel]

Check the comic about what happens before and after the video, they are called Varus: Heart light and Varus: Retribution, they are free to read online, it fills all the information about the two lovers and the spirit, is so damn good, but to start, Varus is not a deity, it was a human once that transformed into a darkin, their souls are now trapped inside weapons or sealed away, Aatrox is another, they are not good and they are terrible creatures now.

[@nicolesouza8]

That one, in terms of storytelling, is my favorite. You were able to understand what the story was about without even knowing about the champion, and I think that speaks volumes.

[@__________5963]

I would love for you to listen to Kaze ni nare. Especially the music video. But I promise its worth it. The pure emotion of the singer and how the crowd threw streamers at the performance (highest form of respect given in the promotion) speaks to not only as how they enjoyed it but how they respect not only the singer but the wrestler also. Forgot to mention it is an entrance of one of the best and oldest pro wrestlers out there. Throughout almost 2 decades he never changed it and it was a treat whenever he walk out to that music

[@szaxa272]

Yeah, you basically guessed the entire story. What happened was two Ionian hunters, who were lovers, fused with the Darkin Bow, Varus, as one of the two hunters was dying, so now the souls of all 3 reside in one body. As for The Darkin, they are basically God Warriors corrupted with Blood Magic that were forced to reside in various weapons.

[@zachriel137]

Varus is the character that came out, he's a darkin spirit on the bow, he take both the body of the other two which was a lover... if I'm not mistaken all 3 spirits are on the body

[@hugodecarvalho7932]

I will keep on recommending it until you do it : "Bring home the glory". This is such an amazing song for a tournament. It combines both this overwhelming epicness and the emotions from the vocals. And I will STILL recommend you to check further the Sonic Frontiers OST. I guarantee you you will love them : Undefeatable, Break through it all, Find your flame.

[@AdorianDelmore]

I can't believe it. Finally, thank you!

[@willdai]

As We Fall is definitely underrated when it comes to league music videos

[@shermaniac]

This is easily my favorite League cintematic, music video, anything that League of Legends has put out. It's also my favorite champion in the game - Varus. I'm SO glad you reacted to this.

[@Katerflori]

I would highly recommend Tournament of Souls - Coming Alive for the next League reaction. It's the most recent music video of the summer event (literally came out yesterday) and it's pretty epic!

[@SuperSertyuio]

Yeah, i agree! LOL has some amazing short animations! I got the same feeling from Honkai Impact 3rd animations! those animations (especially later ones) are playing with feelings! Last lesson and Thus spoke apocalypse are absolute!

[@johannesxu7886]

This is a champion of the game, those three forged into one.

[@GiselaMisa]

This presentation of Varus (rework) is amazing. I love ♥ ♥

[@Amaemon]

Поражаюсь насколько наши вкусы совпадают. Этот клип так же и мой любимый, но в сообществе - не самый популярный.

[@sylvn1988]

It would be great if you reacted to the Spirit Blossom cinematics! They are top notch amazing.

[@ovted129]

You asked why this hasnt been recommended more the thing is there is so much league of legends cinematic/music video/ performances that are worthy of recommending it just gets lost in the mountain of quality.

[@delphy2478]

it's a great league video. i recommend watching 'a new dawn' for an epic league of legends video

[@kallistikaleid]

Luke, idea. Start looking into Necrit's channel. He is THE LEAGUE LORE GUY. He explains just about everything League of Legends. There is far too much about the Darkin and their imprisonment, the Ionian-Noxian War, and the story of these two loving gentleman to cover here. I will say, I adore how the music video shorthands their tragedy is such a gorgeous way. The Hunter and The Warrior, joined in their hearts, go to war to protect their nation, their loved one, from theNoxians, whom forever conquer other nations in order to bring all under the Noxian creed of "Strength makes right; no royalty or nobility or peasantry, only the strong and the weak." ALL of the LoL lore is fist pump worthy, especially the parts that have music videos!

[@6PathsGohan]

Still one of my fave LoL tracks and videos

[@Valya_OwO]

u were pretty spot on tbh

[@justinwhite915]

There is a small comic that went with this music video. This is the middle of their story.

[@Sabbely87]

You really have to do Annie: Origin. you will love it! its more of a story video but i promies its awesome!

[@WhoEustace]

4:08 i'm afraid the reason for it is quite simple actually. it's a music video about two lovers who just happen to be both men. and while league of legends has wonderful lore, videos and characters, its fanbase is unfortunately still mostly toxic and conservative. so yeah, eventhough this music video is brilliant (and probably my second favorite after "awaken"), it gets its own fair share of hate :/

[@kala6576]

When you get a chance you should give One Piece's Binks Sake song a listen to. Its one of the few songs with words that make it into the anime.

[@zoisekai]

Waiting for the latest THE FIRST TAKE by TrySail. There are all anime voice actresses FYI.

[@Mediocreiron]

Watch "Breathe" from League/Legends of Runeterra bro, I am sure you will love it

[@yoashbarak373]

A very "TL;DR" version, a pair of loves from the same army, one got mortally wounded, the other tried something akin to "deal with the devil" method to save him, end result is a fusion of all three of them to one being.

[@ranol602]

They are lovers, it's confirmed in some comic they released with this MV 👀

[@mic91ael]

Still waiting for Star Guardian Ahri and Burning Bright videos.

[@GeneralBuzzKiII]

You should absolutely check out the videos for "Legends of Runeterra" League's card game. It's got a ton of lore from the universe and the trailers for it are like short stories of like 5 minutes, they're all brilliant.

[@micatalyst]

you should really watch the valorant music videos too they are amazing with amazing music

[@danielmedela8725]

Wait, was that supposed to be Varus origin history!?!?

[@nobody_2.0]

Day 68 of recommending the Beyblade openings. There are the Japanese ones and the English ones. The English version has one opening for a generation, and that for the 1st and 2nd generation. The 3rd gen has one op for one season. But the Japanese version has multiple ops for a season in any gen. You should definitely check both versions out. I made playlists on my channel, so you don't need to search, cause in those compilations are a few off and not in the correct order. Thanks for checking out!

[@LoLGamer-se1sz]

Yoooooooo the beyblade guy is still here! Give this guy some upvotes!

[@PiratePawsLive]

Tbh Luke, just watch lore videos. It's content you can post and more entertaining than having ppl write you paragraphs of lore. My 2 cents. Ps: Watch the pentakill online concert xD

[@Toaru31686]

日本からの一コメント

[@rabahredha3946]

Welcome , well enjoy this man's reactions ❤

[@helloweiwei702]

[@LoLGamer-se1sz]

He saw it 9 months ago. Just type 'got games get jinxed' into the search bar, it's one of my favorites from him :D

[@nobody_2.0]

Game OST recommendation: Geometry Dash practice mode song "Stay Inside Me" by OcularNebula

[@Saturn-lp8iw]

Game song suggestion: Avenged Sevenfold -Carry on. It's a really good black ops 2 song

[@No1fan15]

This MV really said "it's time to be gay and be sad"

[@sliceruser]

not gonna lie i hate this one, it came across as very pandering and woke as it changed the lore from being about a man obsessed with vengeance as his wife and childs death giving himself over to the darkin, lore which i really loved into something else entirely

[@Real_Genji]

That's modern Riot for you, changing every character to pander

[@vinballs7660]

AN I GOTTA COMMENT AGAIN worlds collide has the really strong female vocals which hit so different then the mens vocals one of the hype af ones

[@vinballs7660]

STILL GOT MORE BRUV AN THEIR SO FUCKING GOOD some ones i like that u havent seen -worlds collide WAIT i cant think of any others u havent seen :(((( that song is 2015 worlds and its really good
