Also, I have a headcanon where Apollyon, the Warden, the Raider, and the Orochi are supposed to represent the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Apollyon is War, obviously. The Warden would be Conquest because he helped conquer the Vikings. The raider is Pestilence because they were left sick and starving after the knights came. And the Orochi is death, because the Orochi is, according to game lore, the assassins of the samurai caste. I could be wrong, but I like it when games like this use apocalyptic​ symbolism like that.

[@matiasdelatorreoverton3612]

I think there should have been a prologue chapter. It should have focused on Apollyon's experience during that raid and showed why she had her ideology, shoving it behind collectibles means a player can miss her story like I did at first. That's why I originally thought Apollyon was a poorly done villain at first. Cool looking but lacking depth or reason. A prologue where you play as a young Apollyon watching her friends and family be slaughtered would have given you some sympathy for her and would have provided the opportunity for a fake out' making you think she just wants revenge on the Vikings only to then reveal her true intentions.

Take a shot every time Apollyon says: °War °Wolves °Sheep

[@umbrellaoperativeghost8001]

*Dead*

[@Luke_Danger]

A very good analysis, though I would contest your final point that Apollyon's end goal was proving to the young girl who saw her village destroyed that she was strong. Apollyon in another observable notes that she does not blame the common people for being sheep - as long as they do not hide from that fact. Personally, I think she understood if nothing else that some would be sheep, but just like a herd of real sheep supplies a lot to their owners so to do those workers provide for the warriors - they just need to acknowledge it. I do think that Apollyon may have had your theory lingering, but I do not believe trying to prove herself strong was the sole thing she wanted. Ultimately I think she just wanted to tear away what she felt was a cover for an ugly reality - look at her thoughts on Ayu, practically dismissing Ayu's stated motivation of wanting to unite the Chosen in their darkest hour and instead believing it that Ayu was a power hungry warlord who happened to have the opportunity to put that into an acceptable context and murder her rivals. She probably expected the Blackstones would have everyone line up to hit them, but she probably had hoped that the tensions would stay - I mean, look at how murderous the Orochi was to the Warden for no reason. Admittedly, the Orochi seems to not understand that there was more than just one Legion, and the Legion and Chosen siege forces were at a cease fire when Apollyon died. If not for the Vikings (those legendary shit starters), they may have walked away with an uneasy peace. But then the Vikings showed up and not realizing it was a third party attacking, soldiers on both sides assumed betrayal even as the commanders tried to stop it - the shot heard 'round the world, basically. No one knew what it was, everyone assumed the worst and engaged. That was what Apollyon sought - and she probably hoped the Vikings would show up to disorganize her foes; the question then being what then. Overall a good commentary and pretty insightful, well done. I just had some specific disagreements, but that doesn't make it a worse analysis necessarily. Just different views.

[@KingJGrim]

Well, as long as you enjoyed the video and maybe got something out of it, then I am happy. These are after all, first and foremost, entertainment videos, rather than educational ones.

[@SanDzash]

"Ayu was a power hungry warlord who happened to have the opportunity to put that into an acceptable context and murder her rivals." Yes, she was. Although she said differrent, her deeds made that fact pretty clear.

[@lumpy1space2princess]

Alien_Castle I disagree. Looking at her compared to the other Daimyo, she was much more traditional of a Samurai.

[@SanDzash]

She was so into her own ambitions that she prefers let the vikings escape. She thinks very highly of herself compared to other Daimyo, and don't forget Apollyon commentaries in second samurai mission (observables). Even she admit that Ayu is ruthless and hungers for power. Why other Daimyo was worse? They just lost.

[@lumpy1space2princess]

Alien_Castle Well, Apollyon could be wrong about her. I mean she did think the samurai civil war would last years and not days. She also hadn't expected the infighting between viking factions to be so short lived either. And if Ayu truly was power hungry and war thirsty, why did she appear at the post game confrence between the faction leaders?

I think she is the main character and the good guy, her goal is to kill the sheep and leave the wolves so no one would be powerless anymore and she accomplished her goals. There are three main factions now of samurai, knights, and vikings and they all are strong and able to protect their people. She didn't want anyone to go through what she went through as a child so she kills the sheep and leaves the wolves. She has good intentions and like Mystery Man said, she is like Thanos and both of them completed her goal. She is the good guy and she is amazing with an amazing back story. Well that's what I think at least

[@mehmetcaneren4042]

Sure Apollyon is the main but calling her a ''good guy'' is shitting on this beautiful plot that was explained before you , she is a character with personality problems , girl inside only wants to protect yet the armor wants the sheeps to die. By sheeps we mean people like you , fat clumsy villagers who can't hold a sword properly. At the age of wolves 95% of us wouldn't have a place unless we were wishing to murder for the sake of doing it.

I have a For Honor theory about apollyons armor and moveset, is that its made out of foes armor sets of most the For Honor classes classes, that of she has taken from skilled warriors and fused it with the lawbringer armor she had previously : Her Helmet: a Valkyrie (due to the eye silts and shape is from a epic valkyrie armor set), Warden (due to the shape) also it has a Plume that exactly like a Raider set. Her Arms: a conqueror (for her left sholder is ) a Warlord, and a Gladiator (for her right shoulder) Her chest: this is the only known part that survived from the lawbringer she has killed Her Cape:Centurion (in the story mode she states she has met them, even fought them, so a cape from one would make a good trophy) Her Legs: Very viking based: Raider, warlord or a shaman Her sword: Very similar to a Warlord set and Her fighting style is like a fusion between a Centurions unblockables, a wardens base movesets, a Raiders large sweeping motions, a lawbringers parry punish and (i might go a tad bit off here) a Gladiators long chains or a conquerors infinte chain this is backed up by her background with Vikings and other Knights and the fact she keeps banners of defeated factions all around her castle, so with this armor comes not only a aura of intimidation for she has killed all of the warriors shown above and wears their armor as trophies, but also her fighting styles too. and you, a samurai, a brand new opponent on the Battleground, a brand new set of armor to add to her own.

[@justintexeira1799]

Actually, I think you may have overcomplicated it a bit. In my opinion, Apollyon's philosophy can be summed up by the saying; "Hard times breed rough men. Hard men bring soft times. Soft times breed soft men. Soft men bring rough times." I think in her mind, she believes that peace serves only to weaken humanity as a whole, giving way to this endless cycle where the strong become weak. She witnessed first hand what that weakness wrought. The Lawbringer and the iron legion were too cowardly to defend her people, and her people too weak to fight back. This gave birth to her belief that man's natural state is war. That life is supposed to be a constant struggle for survival, and by removing that struggle, we simply waste away, until the next war comes and the cycle begins anew and that peace is nothing more than a hopeless fantasy. For instance, note her last words "All I want is for you to admit what you are...my wolves." Notice, she doesn't just refer to them as wolves, like she did with others who passed her test but as her wolves. This indicates, to me at least, just how futile she thinks the hero's goals of peace are. By calling them her wolves she's not just saying that they passed her test, but it is for that very reason that they cannot have peace. Because in passing the test, they have proved that they are just like her, and because of that they stand in the way of their own peace. Think about it, the Warden, the Raider, and the Orochi have all gotten to where they are by killing those that would not join them, just like Apollyon. Now, by killing her, the wolves now hold the power. The Warden is head of the iron legion, the Raider is the leader of his clan, and Ayu, another one who passed Apollyon's test, is the Emperor. Now, with Apollyon gone, there is somewhat of a power vacuum which they've all come to fill. The only thing they need to do is lay down their arms. But they are wolves, not sheep, and a wolf does not give up his fangs. As we see in the ending cinematic, the knights and samurai are on the verge of ending the fighting, they want peace. But they can't do it. Not just because the Vikings crashed the party, but because it's not in their nature. They could have come together and fought off the Vikings as one, but they didn't. Instead, they fought each other. The Vikings were just an excuse to keep fighting. "Ah," you might say. "Then why did she shelter all the civilians in her castle? Surely it was for mercy." Perhaps. Perhaps she was trying to satisfy some urge to set herself apart from the lawbringer that condemned her people. But I think not. We are told in the mission prior to the final battle that Apollyon's war had left the economy neglected, and the countryside was overcome by bandits. So the people probably gradually moved to the city because it was more protected. Furthermore, I wouldn't exactly call trapping all of your citizens in the middle of a siege a mercy, especially since it was obvious that the attacking forces did not have a quarrel with the people of Ashfell, just Apollyon. No, I think that it was another one of her tests. She wanted all of mankind to be strong. She'd put every faction through endless suffering, except hers. Only the strong would survive the siege and make it out alive, while the weak would perish, as they surely would anyway.

[@quartermaster6235]

I love the spice you added into the mix (Basically I loved for how you added Skyrim music into this video)

[@philipbenhardb.velasco369]

BROOOO i love you man XDD, i love the not taking yourself too seriously with a deep review on their character. insight disguised as goofy. well done man. WELL DONE! Kepp pushing man youll break the mainstream

[@scruffydogfish7636]

It took me a moment to remember where the music at 15:39 was from, and I gotta say that's a nice little touch you added there with "Lord of the Black Stone"!

[@KingJGrim]

Cookie for you!

[@jonmustach2223]

King J. Grim 0:21 is from Killer Instinct!Tusks theme if I recall.

[@lordfrostbite40]

Thank you so muuuch, been looking for that song for 2 hours T.T

[@ElliFong]

Oh shit, finally. While I don't agree with the way she is doing it, I can see why she want to do that.*Looking at our current world*

[@JoeMartinez18]

The reason why she wants war is because... well it's human. Humanity is basically a backstabbing B****. Smiling like friends, yet the moment you turn your back you can wait a knife in your back. She wants people to embrace that side of humanity and not being hypocrites about it, and thus the strong one will raise and stand up for themselves before humanity turns weaker and weaker. " I want you to recognise who you really are "- Apollyon.

[@75cdog]

First video of yours ive found, was glued to my screen for the duration. Great work.

[@KingJGrim]

Happy to hear it!

[@moe886]

The reason is for a FUCKING puddle of water.

[@KingJGrim]

Hey, if it's clean water, I'd bring an axe

[@AppearYT]

Well made video! So addicting to watch! I usally don't sit through a 19 min video but it was so easy with this one! Keep up the good work! :)

[@Borus101]

That intro got me to sub before I even saw your content.

[@KingJGrim]

I hope you'll stay for the content, and not just for my dandy moves

[@ThisIsPampkin]

The use of Darksiders References as well as Soundtracks; You have my respect kind sir.

[@BIGESTblade]

Apollyon is the best what the story mode had. What a shame it was short.

[@Crimson-kt7fd]

I was playing Skyrim while playing this so the music at 7:00 threw me off a little

[@surgodt]

Taijess Basnaw The exact same happened to me. I had to pause the video to hear where the music was coming from

[@2pac1431]

Taijess Basnaw and oblivion

[@Draco-ii3ot]

Taijess Basnaw I LOVE SKYRIM SO MUCH!

[@johnnytheyoungbosch6624]

Loved the Samurai intro man.

[@shaymcleod5735]

Johnny theYoungBosch I hate that people don't take the samurai seriously

[@zer0_ner034]

@@shaymcleod5735 It's pretty hard to.

[@charlescalthrop2535]

Zer0_ Ner0 because of stereotypes like this.

[@Wolverines83]

"An what of the knights? they're protectors, arent they? Well... most of the time." *shows clip from kindom of heaven* "DEUSVULTDEUSVULTDEUSVULTDEUSVULT!!!"

[@manicshinbi8132]

The skyrim music gives me a massive sence of nostalgia. Thanks for that

[@jamiedoyle132]

I hate that the Samurai had the spotlight in the story. The Warden you play as, yeah he should had been the one to kill Apollyon. The Samurai dude just comes out of nowhere and suddenly becomes her killer. The Warden, he's the best fighter in the story. Seriously that dude should have had more game time, he was so badass.

[@rafaelnobrega9574]

Not only that as he had *reason* to fight Apollyon himself She made him commit horrifying atrocities, from starvations, to what was almost genocide and used him as an instrument to sow war amongst post-Cataclysm Europe The samurai just comes out of nowhere and "hey we'll be the only ones to get closure you tin cans" and the story ends in the game Really sad that the Warden couldn't get his revenge, I say.

[@lultimebiscuit9688]

What about the raider ?

[@aiquangat8620]

Japanophiles. That's why. Also, to get weebs which is sadly large in numbers to invest in the game.

[@guadalupemontero902]

Apollyon = Esdeath Pretty much, no?

[@architectsxiii5379]

tbh ye

[@boboldu3027]

No.

[@whentheycry2128]

A good comparison

[@mehmetcaneren4042]

Apollyon isn't a sadist but other than that they are pretty much the same. They were both raised with the mindset of ''survival of the fittest'' Both of their village was destroyed because they were considered ''weak'' They both killed and forced their way to the position of power. And lastly they both made a last stand against a girl with a katana.(depends if you chose a girl orochi.) So yeah they are pretty much the same.

[@1stcaptainraldoron538]

Somehow the way you depicted Apollyon ambushing the lawbringer fits so well.

[@S.Johannesson]

I need a 10h loop of the intro in my life.

[@thomasgomez6218]

Omg was that Mount and Blade I just saw at 0:26

[@bonymacaroni3293]

bRO WAIT what if Warmonger is one of the citizens who fled to the blackstone fortress

[@operativewinters3458]

That was quite possibly the best intro to any video ever.

[@RamRam.720]

This channel is fantastic my god, why isnt it more popular

[@geniemiki]

When the game came out a lot of people complained about the story mode lacking any depth...and while...yes it is brief I beg to disagree. It has as much depth as you are willing to give it. It's made to make you think. Was she right? Was she wrong? The story mode of For Honor sparked a philosophical debate inside me as soon as I saw the ending. For the longest of times i assumed that Apollyon was some kind of twisted nihilist, but your approach to it brings valuable food for thought.

[@SpartanOli]

Am i the only one who liked Apollyon's idea? That wanted to side with her?

[@religiousotaku9926]

I wanted to side with her really bad

[@quetixio8996]

0:30 BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THEM! You earned a sub!

[@george5677]

1:45 Warmonger🤣

[@alguira]

13:45 Final Fantasy song, can't recall the game though. X-2? X? I know it was something related to X somehow.

[@KingJGrim]

X-2, Memory of Lightwaves. So you're correct!

[@surefeng671]

FFX-2 a shit game FFX beautiful game, along with Tidus's laugh y'know what i mean

[@isuckondevilartemis8394]

Samurai Babes what more could you ask for.

[@AllTheNamesIPickedWereTaken]

Every once in a while I load up this video to watch the intro

[@gavin5729]

This was well made. Thanl you for you have blessed my day

[@Lynch2507]

OMFG YOU TOOK YOUR TIME! Jkz, love ya man

[@silverrain530]

Shoutouts to those who understood the real Japanese subtitles😂

[@tasnimkaffah3198]

Ohoho i love the intro

[@KingJGrim]

Ahaha glad you do

[@bared473]

7:00 Skyrim OST... omg nostalgia 😂

[@slay_a_ton9430]

GREAT JOB! Thank you for explaining the story that SHOULD of been in the game

[@xmzru]

Apollyon must be strong in bed

[@MA-dy1ci]

She'd probably stab you after that-

[@mememachine598]

So bassically Apollyon was a good person?

[@Amadeo790]

she was the joker in armor. "all I want is for you to admit what you really are!"

[@JoeMartinez18]

No... she just wanted to show how Violent Humans are, even though we hide behind a "smile". We are monsters, but we should not hide our violence and the love and admiration for it, but embrace it.

[@christopherjones7023]

Not quite, but had some good qualities about her. Still a definite, unapologetic warmonger (but with motivations, I guess?).

[@Amadeo790]

Christopher Jones true. I likened get to the joker because of how both cause chaos arround them and infect others with it to prove a point. To show every one just how violent and blood thirsty they truly are and all it takes is a bad day, a push on the wrong direction.

[@mememachine598]

Jose Ssegovia ok so this is what I'm getting, she was not a good guy, only to prove that us as humans has a need to kill, but that she also has a very tragic backstory that we will need to respect?

[@argumentcrusader]

I don't know if anyone will read this, but looking back at this video it is very plausible that astrea was a survivor of the attack onto the castle, most likely looking up to wolfmommy as a hero( since she was the defender of the castle and essentialy the people inside it) and years later decided to follow her steps, forming the cult of horkos we're seeing now. .....and it maybe have been apollyon's back up plan too, since it was not garanteed that the war would last decades...

[@moradan81]

Loved the Skyrim music. Excellent touch!

[@twilight_mourner1865]

when yo turned for honor into an anime i got so trigr'd

[@KingJGrim]

Should have also made a trigger warning... damn it, back to the dance floor!

[@japonxuperone4606]

Your spoiler warning prevented me for watching the video but I will suscribe because it is fantastic.

[@KingJGrim]

Well, return after you've played For Honor's story, I am certain you will enjoy this video! I hope. Anyways, welcome aboard!

[@marshallbernarte8216]

YES YES YES! That intro perfectly describes the samurai faction in a nutshell!

[@aaron-crokmay]

5:41 I'm so glad that you involved the Jack of Blades from Fable into this whether it's from Fable Anniversary Fable the Lost Chapters it's been so long since I've seen in a reference to that
