Jaga Theme

[@DreamGTS]

..best thing I heard Jaga say, " Its better to have honest enemies than false friends". So true.

[@stevenatkinson1228]

And he said it so well too.

[@ryanbrown938]

Facts 💯

[@StrikeValkyrie]

I love it when Lion-O said "Nobody wins in a duel."

[@chrismc410]

@@StrikeValkyrie he is right except for one point: if said duel is to the death and you're fighting for your life then someone most certainly does win a duel: The one who's still alive.

[@StrikeValkyrie]

@@chrismc410 But the 'winner' became a killer! No one really won.

[@thcollegestudent]

"Power is never a gift, but a responsibility." - Jaga

[@jpringle1979]

Tell the government that.. If only they understood that.

[@jbrimhall4506]

And Uncle Ben.

[@crystaltip1981]

I don’t know if it’s just nostalgia or cos Jaga’s death scene was pretty powerful, or purely because the music itself is beautiful, but hearing this after 30 years has just made me incredibly emotional

[@Lordmij]

U have no idea

[@chake46]

Jaga`s last act was to save the Thundercats and their soon to be Lord Lion O by making sure they arrive on Third Earth!

[@EnemyAce88]

Same.

[@187ilius]

Dude. The Exodus episode was deep.

[@AlexDiesTrying]

It is a powerful combination, don't worry.

[@956diesel-alvcuh]

80s kid here , hearing jagas music and reading all these comments made me incredibly emotional realizing many of you share my sentiments , damn u guys , lol ❣️

[@tommy_smalls]

This is the first time I heard this in 25 years. I'm in tears. My childhood.

[@esp363]

...MASTERPIECE....my childhood...i want this piece in my funeral ...

[@Computerman683]

Michael Diaz i was thinking the same thing

[@tommy_smalls]

Me too

[@chattjedi]

That and binary sunsets

[@Lordmij]

Me 2

[@cesarquispe9982]

Too my

[@actionjackion7168]

This sounds corny but this theme song is so uplifting to me. I think of my dad that passed and I can hear him saying something positive to me!....stay blessed everybody salute 🙏🏿

[@DanSSF4AE]

“I ... can’t go on.... I pray.... the robot pilot can take it... from here......” (Jaga‘s last words)

[@lastraven8575]

Still makes me bawl

[@UltraMagnus3786]

😩

[@Alysa-Aiday]

We love and miss you, Jaga. Guide us from the Beyond. Thundercats, Ho!!

[@naplzt4k]

jaga had many more words after that...silly thing like dying didn't stop him from teaching

[@piggawigga4929]

Very true I remembered before he disappeared in flesh

[@MDthornton83]

Jaga, the Obi Wan of Thundercats.

[@derekclay9314]

correction the optimus prime of thundercats.

[@hollyhudson1962]

derek clay Uh...no. Optimus wasn't a ghost popping up for an average of 2 minutes per episode to dole out wisdom. Derek you better be a youngster who don't know any better 'cause if you ain't, so help me...

[@derekclay9314]

there is an ever-present, dignified sadness in Peter Cullen's performance of Optimus, as if the Great War has affected him so deeply that he's always crying deep inside. Transformers Prime Optimus comes across as being rather like the wise elderly Thundercat Jagga in his way.in transformers prime optimus prime strikes me as being in his way a character modeled after the elderly thundarian wise man jagga that is what I am saying he reminds me of jagga in his way

[@SrRodqueiroz]

Exact!

[@Andy_Draws0209]

MDthornton83 definitely, I mean he is very much Obi Wan Kenobi in character, the wise mentor and sage whom is very much a father figure, teacher and guide to Lion-O just Ben was to Luke Skywalker

[@tojiroh]

This. When Jaga stays at the helm of the ship while the rest of the clan go into hibernation, sacrificing himself to time... (manly tears) T_T They just don't make shows like these nowadays.

[@Highpowered79]

I was taken by this show...and the tune is powerful.

[@acadiel]

I was so sad when that happened. Must have been like nine.

[@thesecretlibrary890]

Nigga stayed living to protect the ship for light years. LIGHT YEARS!*

[@aresrivera9744]

Death in the first 10 minutes

[@JB-xx3dq]

Leadership.

[@chepepuy]

Man, so moving! It makes you stand up and salute while trying to hold back your tears!

[@Lordmij]

Yeah man...wow

[@gregtalia1138]

This show was an enormous part of my childhood identity. I remember spending hours watching episodes my mother had taped for me on vhs.

[@skollybob]

Sounds familiar bud

[@SaiyanScholar]

@@skollybob Sounds familiar guys. That ol' Exodus VHS that I kept renting from the shop. Every single Saturday.

[@emeraldknight5522]

Jaga: "Sometimes you can save time by waiting and learning all there is to know about a situation."

[@TheAmateurEditor]

Easily my most cherised childhood theme. Such epic grandness to accompany the most noble and wisest of animation characters.

[@WillCtheMechDrummer]

I always loved his "here comes the king" style of soundtrack! Loved how he was such an honorable character and always taught a lesson, even if you didn't understand it until your time came. Very good writing!!!

[@mikematei]

This song represents Thundercats at its best. Long before the remakes that make the series into a joke of itself. THIS was Thundercats.

[@Lordmij]

Why do my eyes water up while listening to this, man my childhood was awesome

[@luisramos2432]

"The eye of Thundera will be waiting for you "

[@bubbabb8464]

brings a tear to your eyes doesn't it?

[@sameeribrahim6579]

Yes it is,,😓

[@sithsoldier98]

Yes....

[@dwaynepadron1357]

I still cry to this day. Lol!

[@johnhenry9950]

More than one tear...It is so much more than this

[@yazajag]

I get sad when I hear Jaga's theme, it is so meloncoly but triumphant, wise and bittersweet. He guided the ship to save the others. 😿😻

[@jay83]

Jay tell us a secret no one knew but yourself... I use to always cry as a kid when hearing Jaga theme in Thundercats🤣🤣🤣🤣 and it just made me cry right now with the nostalgia when i played it

[@antoniocarlosribeiro7348]

Meu Deus!!! Já faz 40 anos que assistia este belo desenho animado nos domingos na TV !😮 Top

[@carlosalarcon2737]

This song marked my life twice, first when I was a kid and then when a suffered a terrible depression two years ago (a bit better now) we watched this serie with my daughter, she gave me the most powerful love to continue. peace

[@3rdARKnight]

Whenever I heard this as a kid it always made me cry 😢

[@emiliosagredo4262]

Me too

[@cyberswiper6317]

I’m glad my parents showed me this when I was little, I may have not been around during the 1980s but the old stuff certainly beats the new stuff in terms of soul and great characters and storytelling... hell this show even teaches you things in nearly every episode which is moving to me

[@McMinn1981]

My dad's always been my jaga

[@bubbabb8464]

every 80s cartoon had a great and wise character. and jaga was one of them. brings a tear to your eyes.

[@davidnikolalde]

the best song of the series!!!!

[@TheGothicRichard]

Jaga! The greatest of all Thundercats. The Thundercats would say his name with awe and reverence.

[@cryptozoomauler5505]

He gave his life so that all the other Thundercats could live. They respect his sacrifice.

[@ShaneJoshua1980]

I love the grandeur of this piece it stirs that sense of pride, importance and legacy the composer wanted it to.

[@crystaltip1981]

ShaneJoshua1980 perfectly encapsulated

[@sonicguyver7445]

What a fantastic medli. Carries such nobility to it. Jaga was such a great character. The way he imparted knowledge really was something special. At times he would only give hints rather than jist outright say what needed to be done. By reaching the answer himself Lion-O didn't just solve a problem, he gained wisdom.

[@jefinhofarao836]

Sempre me emocionava em suas aparições eterno Jaga

[@johnhenry9950]

How could we forget...how could I forget...hearing it for first time in over 20 years

[@187ilius]

Been singing this tune in my head for over 30 years and it still hits hard because it just reminds me of Jargas death

[@neysaocolorado6741]

Um das melhores trilhas é do Jagar

[@martiuscastle]

This can still teach a lot of movie makers, specially nowadays...to think this was a cartoon, man...

[@cesarquispe9982]

😪😪😪😪😪 cada vez que escucho esta melodía es como retroceder en el tiempo cuando era feliz sin responsabilidades con mis hermanos en una vivienda muy muy precaria y humilde , recuerdo a mi madre joven 😪😪😪😪 y a mis hermanos jugar con lo que había , grasias vida por crecer en los 80tas ahhhhh y me gustaría que cuando muera me entierran con esta melodía

I don't know about you but this music makes me want to be a better person!

[@ebensennett3095]

If this song ain't playing at my funeral, then I ain't dying

[@Undertaker8765]

I saw this cartoon when I was 5, I saw it again when I was 26, and I am seeing it again now that I am 29

[@GadGades]

I've seen it three times too. When I was 4-5. Then when I was 11-ish. Then sometime in my twenties. When I started rewatching it as an adult, I thoguht it was a bit boring and that all cartoons were like that ect but I started to notice a lot of things(I rewatched Jem too and a few others. Jem and thundercats are tops though). Like the music of course. And the cool designs. But also it was pretty imaginative and it did something the remake didn't. They really did feel like a culture with how much they promoted the code and their actions. Even though the animation wasn't like the opening all the time, it was decent some of the time. And the details of it as well. There's a lot to appreciate. I showed the first two or three eps to my nephew and even just the opening, and he was really excited, and liked it.

[@anthonychobot2342]

So much effort and labor put into a children’s cartoon. These instrumentals are my Chopin, Beethoven and Bach.

No words😢

[@WeeabossVA]

I love that the voice of Lion-O voiced Jaga in the remake. The student became the master.

[@ybshaun4526]

2011 or Roar?

[@BrotherApexx]

If they ever make a Thundercats movie, the composer better find a way to incorporate these classic themes the way Star Wars is doing.

[@miranda7523]

Tears in my eyes man!!!!😭

[@elvistwatty]

This sounds so regal

[@TheGothicRichard]

elvistwatty Jaga is supposed to be the greatest of the Lords of the Thundercats. His last dying deed even saved them all from extinction. Even in death his spirit continued to save them and guide them.

[@hypaspistes]

A thing he said and I remember till this day was : Confronting the unknown takes real courage,it's always easier to deal with dangers you know and understand. Episode 22 when Lion O traveled to the astral prison though time to save him . It always reminds me that I should get out of my comfort zone when I have the chance and embrace the unknown .

[@oscarmanuel144]

Nostalgia anthem

[@gustavosantos8652]

Faço minhas as palavras de Lion: O Mais Poderoso Thundercat da história: Jaga.

[@artzarr5032]

Felted like I learned something new just by listen to this. 😯

[@oderalon]

As I never caught the pilot episode, I used to thing Jaga was some sort of mysterious ancient spirit. Decades later, when I finally got to watch it on youtube, I was really surprised to see him as a member of the crew, alive and well.

[@truthseeker7564]

It’s on Hulu! I tuned in the other day and my a rush of memories came over me.

[@andrewward3648]

The best cartoon ever. My top five favourite cartoons in no particular order are Thundercats, Defenders of the Earth, Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, Dungeons and Dragons and He-man and the Masters of the Universe.

[@michaelcartwright8570]

Now if we could find a willing conductor with an orchestra that appreciates good cartoons from the 80s!

[@brandonmoore4981]

so noble, dignified, stately, grand and manly. the last of an ancient legendary order of knights fearless and pure, who ruled with mercy, chivalry and justice in the golden age. the archaic, mystical elder whose wisdom as the first and most regal and princely of all cats shall lead the young lion-o on his path to true kingship
