Pokemon - Vs. AI Professor Sada/Turo - With Lyrics

[@JunoSongs]

Just a reminder-it’s not a competition! We at MOTI worked really hard to bring this song to you, too, in our own way, and if you like the versions I did, please tell me on my videos rather than use them to put down the one we also worked hard on, and vice versa! We took two different approaches to this song, and the fandom is a lot richer for it. That being said, god this came out amazing, I’m so happy my artwork could accompany such a stellar performance!! The duet approach sounds awesome and hits different with these powerful vocals.

[@DamselflyInDistress750]

Both have pros, neither have cons. They are both absolute bangers.

[@Okeana_Aster]

I probably wasn't the first person to say something like that, but I can't help feeling targeted by this because of that one time years ago when I stupidly said that I prefer one version of a song they both covered over the other and got called out by Juno. But since it was years ago, I grew up and I know better now.

[@VitessaLyfeMKProductions]

I agree with@@DamselflyInDistress750. Both you and MOTI did amazing jobs with this track, and both takes are unique in their own way! ^u^

[@Banan_c_koctiami]

I really love this duality of both professors . Sada wants to return in “good old days when everything were better” while Turo in a position where he thinks that future would be better then today so he make his future come here and now .

[@kankanquentinclips]

Especially considering they are married

[@Bruhsaurus-Moment]

[SCARLET Divorce] TURO: You were glued into that childhood dream of yours, you never thought of Arven's future. SADA: How dare you to call me useless after what I have done for the three of us. What were those fundings for? I took them all from the investors for us. TURO: There's no babysitter for our son, you did not even bother to hire one. You cannot trust a puppy to assist a toddler for 24/7. SADA: Then what? It's your responsibility as a father to tend for the child too instead of roaming freely in Area Zero. TURO: I had enough! You only think of yourself and that empty antique ambition. So be it, I will let you raise him, let's see how long you can with that pride of yours! *leaves* SADA: Don't worry, once I get the project to work, I will bring your Papa back, Arven. A promised paradise for us inside the netherworld that is Area Zero.

[@FortunAdlaich]

Sada and Turo are probably the most interesting Pokémon villains. For one, they were never evil schemers. Instead, they were dangerously sociopathic. Willing to put everyone in Paldea in harm's way, and "justifying" it with social darwinism. Also, they made a death trap for anyone who tried to stop them. Not only were they willing to indirectly do harm, but they were also willing to murder. (You know, the "locking all Poke balls." Basically using the more aggressive Raidon as a murder weapon. Coupled with the fact that they died before the events of the game, but their sociopathy still poses a threat, with the AI Prof. in battle mode basically being their cold, ruthless side brought fully to light.

[@Chaki21]

Definitely not my favourites (That'd go to Ghetsis and Lusamine), but yeah they are really interessing.

[@BagelsNSyrup]

I always love the different perspectives between Alex’s and Juno’s covers. Here Alex and Mor’s lyrics feel more like the actual Sada and Turo where the lyrics are reaching for their goal, while Juno’s leans more on the AI Sada and Turo where they realize the Time Machine needs to be shut down and are stuck between fighting and encouraging the protagonist.

[@aurawarrior1367]

MY NAME IS METTATON AND I AM HERE TO SAY

[@Tenebrismo]

This will be a long comment, so TL:DR, thank you for watching and I love you all! First and foremost, I want to extend a warm welcome to OstaraVA (our Professor Sada in our dub) who absolutely blew me away with her incredible vocals! The clarity and pitch of her notes rises above the instrumental in a way that just strikes true and balances so well with my baritone ranting! Again, welcome to the channel and I look forward to seeing what the future brings for you! To Professor Mor and Alex Beckham, the lyricists: You two brought to life through your lyrics such an incredibly nuanced interpretation of the Professors. The obsession and intensity is there, of course, but the piece is also tinged with a complex mix of yearning and melancholy which somehow just works with the "final boss hype" vibe of this song. The round with the Paradise Protocol in the middle of the song is utterly brilliant, too. But if there's one line that I must focus on and share my joy at being able to sing it is "I have worked and, at last, I have seen. The keys of time can unlock everything!" No line has bookended a song that I've been in better than this one and it is the single favorite line that I have sung for the channel in my 7+ years here. Thank you both for giving me something really special to work with. I can only hope that I've given it the justice it deserves. To Juno, the artist: Your ability to interpret a song into a visual never ceases to amaze me, and this piece is simply exceptional. Every character, every expression of motion and emotion in this work hits the mark with the accuracy of one who is a master of their craft and of the subject matter. And, once more, thank you for letting me perform on your channel as well! Your growth as a creator is truly inspiring! To Steel, the mixer: What else is there to say? Every time you work on something I've been in, you've always elevated it to the next level. The mix, the effects, the use of the space for each performer in such a complicated song must have been a challenge, but the final product is one that is simply a joy to listen to. Thank you for continued hard work and it is always a delight to be mixed by you! To Maiden, the editor: When you took it upon yourself to make the video for this song, I knew it was in good hands. I saw flashes of your brilliance with your dynamic text work on "Peaches," but here you took a blank slate, material from TWO games (thanks, Darby and Mixeli for your footage!), and created a narrative thread that binds the whole piece together. The effects work is stellar, adding to the immersion and giving work a polish to it that truly shines throughout. I can't imagine how incredibly difficult it was to do this, but your editorial vision and knowledge of the craft of video making is simply inspiring! Thank you! And finally, I want to extend a thank you to YOU the viewer, who, with your support and views, allow us the opportunity to share our creativity with you! We wouldn't be here without you! Here's to 2024 and beyond! -Tom Previte

[@ProfessorMor]

Oh my gods this song is finally out! This song was a blast to work on and write and everyone brought it to life so beautifully! Ostara and Tom both brought Sada and Toro to life amazingly, words cannot express how much I love the way both of them brought the perfect level of seriousness and wonder to their roles. Juno like always did such amazing art for this that elevates the video just that much more. And of course between Stelyos and Maiden mixed and edited the song and video to be just amazing. I don't know how they do it, but their magic certainly brought it out for this video!

[@ProfessorMor]

And now that I have this comment, let's do a bit of a dive into the lyrics! The opening line was a fun one to write, I really wanted the song to open setting the theme of this song, the erratic thoughts of the original professors before they perished, now being forced through their robot doppelgangers. At the time of writing this it was still unclear as to how the time machine worked, and since there was the prevalent dream theory, I did my best to sow in some seeds of that, "all my dreams can be reality" "a perfect world just like my dreams" and so on. One like that ended up on the cutting room floor was "how could you hold a Litwick to a champion ranked trainer" which was inspired by a comment on one of my other songs I wrote. It is subtle, but at parts of the video as the captions show there is a computer reading off lines on the background. That is intended to be the professors computer recounting some of their final thoughts. Most of those lines are taken from the various journals you can find throughout the area zero labs, giving a little insight into how the professors thought before they went off the deep end. Of course there are a lot more little details throughout the song, if you are interested in the thoughts behind any of them, let me know and I can give you some insight!

[@adragonlover-2023]

Juno seems to capture the tragedy of the ai professor's, and get us to sympathize with them, it shows that this was a fight that shouldn't have happened that nobody wanted. This more demonstrates the corruption of the ai professor's and how they have gone too far with their research at the cost of their lives and possibly everyone elses. I also like how even if what they are doing is pretty malicious they sound more hopeful like they truly believe this is best for everyone.

[@prestonstanley7736]

I see your point, but if I might raise this. This is from the point of view of the actual Professor Sada/Turo. Their unabashedly single-minded goal of connecting the past/future to the present, either unknowing or uncaring about the evidence of the past/future Pokémon are exceedingly more dangerous, more VIOLENT than every other known species of Pokémon. To the point of knowing that if they are exposed into Paldea, that the entire region would be destroyed. They knew how violent just Koraidon/Miraidon were, as it was the cause of their own death. But they still don't care. They still believe that there can be peace and harmony among them, and they are doing everything they can to bring it to reality. And died trying

[@azurebalmung4520]

I love that the text has a gradient from Scarlet to Violet when both of them are singing the same words at the same time - it's a small but nice touch

[@Hnui03]

I love whenever MOTI and Juno collaborate to release their own versions of a song. I find that while Juno tends to stick closer to the original songs energy and pacing, MOTi tends to take these energy filled tracks and transform them into more angelic. choir-esque renditions without changing the song one bit. They all sound perfectly in character, yet polar opposite in terms of energy. That's the paradoxical beauty between these channels!

[@goldsurgeman]

I personally love the emotion put into each professor’s “Can’t you see, that reality, can be anything I want it to be” The emotions of each are different however both are just as powerful

[@AmentioProductions]

I really like this one, feels like a perfect balance, like your fighting both the professors at the same time. Juno's version is a perfect one for the solo fight, and this elegant masterpiece is the dual to protect the past and future of time and Pokemon.

This final story has so many emotions in it, that I personally call it "Ghost in the Machine". Arven spent most of his life alone, due to his parents spending most of their time in Area Zero only to get killed by the aggressive Koraidon and Miraidon with their AI replicas in their places programmed against their will to defend their mad dream to introduce Pokémon from the ancient past and distant future into the modern age, which would destroy the present ecosystem. Arven had suffered the most in the end, because he had no parental figure to support him, because they were already dead. I understand Arven's pain and empathize with him because family is a terrible thing to lose.

I like to think that both of Juno's individual versions take place in different versions of Paldea, one based around Scarlet and the other around Violet.

[@violet999ab]

God, this is gorgeous and HEARTWRENCHING. Listening to the professors sing about their ideas and dreams so earnestly while knowing they’re totally out to lunch and need to be stopped before they cause an irreversible disaster is genuinely kind of painful, especially since they literally can’t be reasoned with anymore. If only it hadn’t come down to this, right? (The focus on dreams is interesting: I assume that’s a nod to the theory that the past/future Pokemon aren’t actually from the past/future and were instead unknowingly created from the professors’ ideas of past/future Pokémon?)

[@nightwalker9875]

wtf, who is the mad man who put so much work on the youtube subtitles. They are amazing!

[@edwardramos4591]

The way this sounds, it's like the real Sada and Turo are directly speaking through the AI Professors (and not in the Paradise Protection Protocol sense, more like there are ghosts in these machines). They sound confident in achieving their goals and giving their reasons for why they're doing them (as most mad scientists, achieving harmony). Contrasting that is Juno's which, like with Penny, depicts the situation as we see in the games where the AI Professor is very much their own independent and very reluctant entity. It very much does not want to follow through with the human Professor's plan, but can do little more than encourage the protagonists to defeat it and stop the potential paradoxical ecological crisis.

[@MidnyteSketch]

The trio of songs all come together very nicely. That the other 2 show what the player is experiencing from their point of view watching the AI professors fight the hard-coded programming, while this one is showing what's going through the Protocol's line of thinking, as it upholds the real professors' ideal dream no matter what.

[@FluffyDragonDrawing]

Theres so much to comment on but I for one want to commend the editors. The seamless transitions between scarlet and violet visually, and between Sada and Turo audiolly (not sure if thats a word) is so perfectly seamless. Theres nothing abrupt or jarring. Especially in the transformation moment, without any camera cuts to use to sync it up; the camera and the light changes between Koraidon and Miraidon is so damn smooth????? All the respect and kudos to the editors who pulled that off it cannot have been easy to make it so seamless.

The worst thing is the AI's own will is against what Sada and Turo wanted, but their programming forces it anyway. Even the AI is shocked to the lengths Sada and Turo went to to protect their ambition. The Paradise Protection Protocol makes it blatently clear; the Professor was willing to MURDER anyone who got in their way. Siccing an Apex Predator of the past or future upon whoever opposed them, while rending them completely defenseless. An Apex predator which is openly violent and *even killed Sada/Turo*. They were killed by their own murder tool.

LETS GOOOO IVE BEEN EXCITED FOR THIS Edit: THAT WAS AMAZING!!! THEIR DUET FIT TOGETHER SO BEAUTIFULLY. KUDOS TO THE SINGERS!!!

[@encountersltd]

Since it bears repeating, this and Juno's versions are separate lyrical interpretations of the same song, plus Alex and Juno frequently collaborate with each other (heck, Juno did the art here and Tom and Maiden worked on both channels' versions of this song). There's no stealing here, so no need to worry! :> Besides, there's really no one true fan-made lyrical cover of a video game song, somebody doing it first doesn't mean nobody else can make or perform their own lyrics for it anymore.

[@reven9242]

I love this! It makes me think you're fighting the professors at the same time in a double battle and I think thats awesome!

[@compactpizza6337]

*me in the corner, crossing fingers that we get MOTI covers of other S/V covers to accompany the amazing ones by Juno, because they're both great

[@GwenGaunt]

Holy wow. Can I just say that all these songs for Scarlet and Violet just hit so hard for their own reasons. But Tom at the line of "Can't you see? That reality. Can be anything I want it to -" I was waiting for it thinking it'd slightly be like Ostarava's, and then he just belts it with "BEEEEEE!" I was like blown away. Amazing job to everyone that worked on this project in any way that they did because wow! I'm in love with every song that you guys did for this part of the Pokemon series

[@9594Jacob]

An epic them for both past and present future back to back. It suits the original Professor’s obsession and not letting anyone stand in the way. Even letting the AI continue their work unwillingly.

[@eirkire9520]

I love the idea of a duet across dimensions, it’s done so well, this is amazing!! MOTI you’ve outdone yourself once again!

[@MegaDarkdragon5]

Rabid Fan A: Moti's version of this cover is better! Rabid Fan B: No, Juno's versions are better! Me and the other smart fans: OH SWEET! We got three good covers of this song! (possibly more if there are others I don't know about)

[@moineaumitrailleur8776]

Oh wow. That's absolutely amazing. You've really made an amazing work on this one. It's sounds like if some kind of deity was singing... I also didn't expect it now , such a good surprise from MOTI , as always ^^

[@lanturn4950]

One interesting thing I've noticed between Juno and MOTI's versions is the different portrayal of the original professors' motivations. In the MOTI version, they seem both more idealistic but also shortsighted, with lyrics like 'All Pokemon/No matter where they are found/in history/They can live in harmony' implying that they are genuinely hoping that the past and future Pokemon can coexist with the Pokemon of the present, and they've not done, or more likely, refused to listen to, the research that indicates that the outsider Pokemon will push Paldea's native species to extinction. Conversely, Juno's versions have them be more informed, but also colder. In both Juno versions of the song, the original professors seem to be completely aware of the fact that their actions will cause an ecological disaster, but view it as a necessary sacrifice in pursuit of their ideal paradise, derisively referring to the Pokemon of the present as 'lesser species' and 'the ones who aren't selected' (Sada)/'irrelevant, inferior ones' (Turo).

[@elfilin-to6dh]

"These Pokémon have gained a strange power due to their adaptations in the distant past/future... and this power has proved too terrible. Their very existence brings destruction to the ecological balance of this current age. *The original professor would say that such destruction is a natural part of life."* -AI Professor It seems like the original professor knew that releasing the Paradox Pokémon would fuck up the natural ecosystem, and they didn't really care all that much.

[@Burnt_Embers]

Love the song and the small detail of the subtitles chainging between red and purple in between the lyrics Looking foward to the 1 hour version!

[@LeoLoga]

Ok...Nobody is pointing this out, but holy crap, the Closed Captions for this is ACTUALLY Kind of Impressive, the effort was 100% for this one, so thank you MOTI for making this feel so special ^^

[@Lyceaos]

this was amazingly done, the editing to flow between the two versions was so fluid

[@Tenebrismo]

Thank you! Maiden did such an amazing job!

[@Hollydrive]

Lovin how they sing together ngl the vocals just go together perfectly!

[@FlanAce-or3hb]

This is beautiful! And these subtitles are INSANE, how is that even possible?!

[@Sal20searaiser]

"there is nothing that could ever stop me" me pulling up with a level 100 garchomp sure we'll see about that

[@EdjNovastar]

Damn this is epic! I had goosebumps pretty much the whole time I was watching it! I love how you combined both scarlet and violet cut scenes into one! You guys are amazing!

[@zan_partizane2415]

0:50 I’m getting shivers just listing to this! A musical masterpiece ❤❤❤

[@Woozy_Official]

OMG OMG OMG!!! MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR!!! THIS CANT BE REAL!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS!!!! This story has been my favorite ever since its release! Im so obsessed with sada i love her! And i want to thank you all so much for working on this! I will listen to this everytime in my playlist!

[@Tenebrismo]

Thank you for watching! We appreciate it! :D

[@Woozy_Official]

i been looking for an cover for this song for so long and you guys finally did it! thank you !@@Tenebrismo

[@velynepierre3428]

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE CAPTIONS LIKE DAMN THATS WELL MADE

[@Volumbi]

Has. Has anyone taken a look at the youtube subtitles in this, like holy shit, MOTI have taken the extra time to add glitching effects and the letter for letter construction of the sentences around the middle of the song, and it really adds onto the experience.

[@Socaltransit]

Love how even the closed captions are corrupted

[@Aceofspadespsy]

Great song, and awesome artwork. When I saw the cover for this I got so excited. I absolutely love it so much❤❤❤ great work!

[@CountryHoodlum]

Seeing this in my notifications i have never pogged so hard in public. After giving it a listen you never fail to impress me. Everytime i think this is going to as good as the last one you someone are able to take it one step higher. Extra note i think this song has my favorite art EVER.

[@bugbrainz_]

1:14 you'd expect prof. sada to sing the higher part and turo to sing the lower part but its actually the other way around which i find interesting

[@jiltedensign7479]

They switch it up in the second chorus.

[@bugbrainz_]

​@@jiltedensign7479 oh yeah they do! thats pretty neat

[@Ichigo2542]

The closed captions have a glitchy effect, and when one is singing and the other stops, said one fades away. That's some attention to detail. Also, when Sada says "I'm afraid the possibility of you winning is Zero" the word for Zero in the captions is using different characters, and I don't even know what the Z is supposed to be. And the text from when Turo, Sada, and the "Present and Future" (in the second half) types itself out. I didn't even know that was possible until today. And I found it by accidentally leaving them on. Edit: They don't work well in Spanish, unfortunately.

[@BraydenWiley-bk1cf]

I really like the connections to the rivals in this one Needs a hero: Nemona has been looking for someone who is on equal footing with her battling skills. Evolution: it represents penny’s diverse team of eeveelutions. The champion of area zero: it represents that arven is the child of the professors who are technically “the champions of area zero”

[@SkullMayCry12]

This is so amazing!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 I hope this song will be on Spotify someday

[@michaelodonnell2843]

These Lyrics are AWESOME!!!! I’m impressed! You’re making the Villains in the Pokémon Franchise better and better than they were before!!!! Love the duet.

[@Satyansh-u8c]

My parents uniting to scold me and lecture me and be like:

[@someone-49-51]

Ngl both you and Juno made banger songs woth this one I really like the mix of the 2 porfessors and there goals

[@tultiden2040]

I've listened to this song countless times, and I am now just realizing how cool and trippy the lyrics are if you have the captions on.

[@Rainbow3ntity]

The best part of this video are the youtube subtitles! Great job to whoever make them

[@Thedragonlover95]

Nice seeing the other mad lad make their own version of this awesome song! Also imma just say this, Arven, you parents are wackos

[@dumbpro555]

Why is moti so good at making the final Pokemon encounters seem so much better than they actually are.

[@BulbasaurReyiz]

HOLLY ARCEUS That's great! It's good to see Tom and Juno again, it's feels like watching epilouge or something of Juno's version in that way, (Seriusly Juno,wtf is that art,its freaking masterpiece) Listening this duet was so cool; I can't put this into words, with that lyrics it feels like they are really convincing me to not stop them lol. "I am afraid your probality of winning...*Is zero* that transation was SO cool. Probably my only, ONLY critisim is "Time religned" part messes rhymes a bit. Other than from lyrics to art to vocals this is a masterpiece.

[@jesusguerrero7906]

I love your videos so much keep up the good work man
