It's Rare That A Song Blows My Mind...

[@Taktaagic]

2:28 "Well, that switched harder than Cagliostro's gender" - stardf29 This is my new favourite thing ever

[@SuperFromND]

that transition feels like watching your very first siivagunner video and not knowing that there was going to be any memes in it

[@VinceMouse]

"That transition was insane!" 1:25 in the theme: "You gonna learn today."

It takes a legendary alchemist to put together a crazy song like this. Also for those wondering about why that insane tonal transition happens, Cagliostro as a character is known for having 2 personalities, super cutesy little girl, and rude self centered old man.

if you want another really good switch-up music track, listen to One Determination from the Persona 3 Movies, it starts out as a nice piano song then switches randomly into a regular persona song, then back to a nice piano song, then back again to a normal persona song all culminating up to probably one of my favorite drops in music history.

[@Atomosphere]

I love that song. Probably my favorite song in the Persona series.

[@jclindsay007]

reminds me of the opening track to the first persona. Going from j-pop to hard rock and back again

[@ImMorii]

that song is the shit

[@TheAdvertisement]

1:25 The transition! This went from happy days song to badass boss theme real quick!

[@Brashgar]

With Jerod learning about Cagliostro's theme, let's talk Cagliostro the founder of alchemy in Granblue Fantasy. Cagliostro was born a sickly boy a thousand years before the start of the setting, and he lamented every second of it. He had an unshakable will and incredible stubbornness however, so he started to look into the elements of the world to try and figure out how to make a new body for himself so he would no longer be as sickly. And with the help of his little sister, he succeeded, and continued to make leaps and bounds in alchemy, founding the very art himself. The reason for Cagliostro being a girl is for the sole reason of "girls are cute", and that's why she's a girl now. She very often brings out a cutesy persona with people she's unfamiliar with to keep them off guard, but her real self is rude and haughty, super proud of her ability, but will show respect to those who she's comfortable with just being herself. Of note is when she brings out her actual self, she speaks in masculine terms. Something to keep in mind.

[@gadsuy5684]

I can see that in the music now...the cutsie light-hearted tone of the music matching that upbeat persona she uses, but then as it progresses and you get used to the melody the song's true colors come out representing her more aggressive side, and then finally transitioning into both coexisting at the end to make your ears melt showing that despite both being polar opposites, they are apart of the same person. Edit: just fixing some spelling errors JESUS THAT IS BRILLIANT!

[@thx4chrckingin]

@@gadsuy5684 So essentially he's a girl in order to come off as weaker and have that element of surprise when she goes sicko mode? That's an interesting premise.

[@Coolmike13331]

Is this theme from a game or something else?

[@Tauncerador]

@@Coolmike13331 Yeah, is from a game. Granblue Fantasy is a gacha mobile game, but some time ago they made a fighting game called Granblue Fantasy Versus. This song is Cagliostro's theme in that game. The game is still receiving updates and DLC fighters.

[@Brashgar]

@@thx4chrckingin No, she's a girl now because "girls are cute". A consistent goal of hers is being the cutest in the skies.

[@DJCosmicLatte]

Holy cow, I wasn't entirely paying attention, it was this nice orchestral thing starting out and then next time I was really listening it was really dark metal??? and then it got happy again 🤣

1:25 Dropped that façade harder than a Kirby boss

[@flyingpieguy3325]

"What type of song is this?" *yes*

[@lecorbak]

It reminds me "Last Remote" from Touhou 11, "Porky's Theme" from Earthbound, or "Your Best Nightmare" from Undertale that all have this feeling where you "don't expect this" either in the middle of the music, or just the entire music itself.

I almost want to say he was more shocked at the end by the songs ending _out drumming_ him with that quad, than the actual switch up transition. Because now thats he's pointed it out I have to go back and listen if the drums are that insane anywhere else in the song, cause wow.

[@Abunai_Gaming]

1:53 I love Matchu's comment there. "I'm just waiting for when this turns into Snow Hal-oh never mind." Just as mind-blown as Jerod XD Also, judging by the comments, Strawberryflavored and Inestimate might have been the only two knowing what's coming, and thank goodness they didn't spoil it XD

[@Ztarman3]

Oh geez I actually know this one. That twist at the halfway does get a lot of people when they never seen the character in action. Just to be clear on the sudden change of the transition, The character has a split personality

[@ZenoDLC]

Not really split, it's just that old man's usually pretending

[@nathanalbanese1472]

“How old are you? 30” “How long have you been a drummer? Less than 30 years”

[@temporaryname8905]

You know it's so nice and refreshing to see and hear a drummer who likes music. My father was a drummer who liked music too. He was so fun to play guitar with.

[@KenBladehart]

Fun fact: Granblue Fantasy is composed by Tsutomu Narita, who is a student of Nobuo Uematsu. Narita created a band called Stella Magna just for Granblue Fantasy Narita is basically Nobuo. Hes so goddamn good at making music

I like how the transition is so good, it become from happy anime to metal and yet he didn't react right away. That show that even if the genre were really different, the transition was well made.

[@hihigocat]

the full game is full of bangers, and im pretty sure that the original gacha game also has amazing music. like you have uematsu and narita as composers.

[@Ztarman3]

Although the only flaw with the game is well, the character roster. Half of the characters so far are paid DLC. Once you get all the DLC characters, then the game actually becomes a lot better. Then again I’m being extremely bias on how I judge fighting games.
