Mecha Talk - Demonbane Explained Part 1 ft. RevoSKL & Mecha Alliance (機神咆吼デモンベイン Beyond Infinite)

[@lucashood203]

Great video, also thank you D18 for making this project possible, it has been my dream to share to everyone how awesome Demonbane Mythos is, but I don’t know how to make a video, luckily I have met the best person for this project. Overall, words can’t say enough how much I appreciated his effort of editing and even invited other people for narration. His Mecha Talk playlist are the main inspiration for me to make this video, so please check out them. I recommended the videos of Ideon, Getter Robo, Mazinger and Gurren Lagann. I also want to express my gratitude to RevoSKL (even though we’ve never met) and Aaron Kaiser, their narrating voice is amazing and perfectly fitted for this video. If possible, I hope they can return for the next one. And last but not least, my best friend Revenger/Coston, your dedication to the Demonbane Mythos is absolutely incredible, this video wouldn’t exist without your help to put such a strong foundation for the series that I love. If you are reading this, thank you, my friend. This video is the culmination of the efforts from everyone involved one way or another. For more Demonbane discussion and future translation project announcement please join my server: discord.gg/EC9ykzWYsu That’s all folks. Until the next video, Lucas out.

[@RevoSKL]

To be honest, I learned a lot from this video about Demonbane, and will definitely be diving in more. I'm mainly familiar with the anime adaptation and knew it had some VN's. I'll for sure be following your translations, so thank you for your work!

[@NightyChannel]

Mecha Talk just returned when I began to gain interest in Demonbane... Such a coincidence.

[@dumbzillarobo1212]

HOLY SHIT! It's happening! Mecha Talk is back!!!

[@alexchung4458]

We have waited the continue of this mecha talk series for nearly 5 to 6 years... Worth it.

[@RevoSKL]

Awesome Mecha Talk! And thanks for having me! Feel free to reach out anytime, I'd love to help out again brother 🤝

[@emmetfeely7760]

I have to wonder, what made D180 decide to make another Mecha Talk video? I mean why now, I figured he got bored and decided to retired the series altogether.

[@RevoSKL]

​@@emmetfeely7760 he did have a video calling for help on research for Demonbane, but only he can say why it took so long. Life and interests can change pretty rapidly

[@lucashood203]

@@emmetfeely7760 well for one thing, the series is vast and like the video said, not every work has been translated, who would have enough time to invest these? But in the end, it all went good.

Finally it has returned. Damn 5 years worth of research really paid off for this video I can't wait for part 2.

[@TheBloodsWitness]

With the explanation of the Vortex Blaster, Demonbane Dead End is the most powerful Machina in the Demonbane Mythos

[@yoshiupao2.024]

The illustrations of Al Azif and Etheldreda in 15:08 was used in the Rumbling Angel TCG. This TCG had crossovers with several other franchises, such as Muv-Luv. I know that TANIMESO and BOTICON did some artwork for it. TANIMESO in particular even published some of them on his Twitter.

Demonbane! Finally getting the recognition it deserves!

Great video and respect the member of the 3 kings (demonbane, zero and emperor)

Thanks D18 for inviting me to this collab! Awesome video.

[@ZeroDarkness-]

If Demonbane was designed to destroy all evil Imagine they put Zengar in it as part of Crossover like masaki in Bilbine and Amuro in Mazinger

[@JanusHoW]

In some universe, there is a Demonbane piloted by Zengar Zonvolt, and it participated in the Infinite Lemuria Impact that Elder God Demonbane used to defeat Nyarlathotep.

[@uzumazin5099]

*Demonbane:* It has been 6 years, but at last!

[@StoneCresent]

I didn't expect to see a new episode of Mecha Talk from you D18. I have a fansub of the Demonbane anime that came with an appendix of references in each episode. Now if only I can get a copy on Blu-ray...

[@Voltexfinal]

Thank god! Thank you for creating this! I’ve been waiting forever for something that explained Demonbane!

Amazing video am so happy Mecha talk is back and even more happy that my goat Demonbane is getting talked about

[@Volinus]

Demonbane is kinda technically the only mech with uber conceptual weapons, not counting eva units and rahxephon because they're technically not mecha....😅 Shining Trapezohedron basically deletes enemies from existence... no way to defend other than using another ST to counter which resulted in FUBAR SPOILER SITUATION.

[@starbound100]

I mean, TECHNICALLY Zero did that too when he converged all the universes into one, but I don't know if I would call that "a weapon" per se. When you reach zero or demonbane levels of stupid Power, things do get kinda blurry.

Man, I have been waiting for this. Its such a good feeling seeing you do Demonbane.

Cant wait to see how broken Demonbane is going to be. 😂😂😂 And the translation on the second demonbane VN is on the way from Lucas? He had my support completely. ❤😊❤🎉😊

Finaly i can see a video of demonbane without fanatism and desinformation. This mecha is one of my favorites, after Getter Robo and Mazinger Z. Sorry for my english, is not very well.

Mecha Talk is back?!

[@jasongriffin7927]

Interesting. Demonbane, specifically Elder God Demonbane, is the only Mech I see people compare to Tengen Toppa besides Getter Emperor. I've seen people get into especially heated arguments about who's more powerful and has more hax between Elder God Demonbane and Super Tengen Toppa Gurenn Lagann.

Niche of the niche series… didn’t even think Mecha Talk would come back after so long with this franchise. Way too late to care about the scaling stuff though, but it’s certainly helpful to have a sort of guide for anyone who wants to get a basic idea of where to start with this IP.

[@wingshad0w00982]

God bless the type 28, and Azathoth bless its giant drill

[@GenesicKaiser]

Is this being done also due to one VS Battles poster having extensively outlined Demonbanes Cosmology and feats in order to push back against the claim that the Demonbane's powerscaling was exaggerated or based on ministrations/rumors?

[@chriss-wz9no]

Awesome mecha talk is back but I wonder can demonbane beat mazinger zero

[@starbound100]

One of the actual guys that legitimately has more than a shot. They actually fought in one of the SRW mobile games, with demonbane winning against a restricted zero that was struggling with Kouji for control, and even then it ate two Shining trapezohedron attacks before being able to be sealed.

[@AkmalNova-fi6vv]

[@yamatoko219]

Aside from this just being a great listen. Is there really a point to compare these universe scale super robots? They function more as plot devices, and they most likely would never come into conflict with eachother, even if they ran into one another when traveling the multiverse. Demonbane is the ultimate champion of justice and righteousness. The Getter Emperor is not so much evil as it is as much an elder god, it's only goal is to grow and evolve, let's not even touch on the fact that it is just a manifestation of Getter rays, not their whole. Gurren lagann will always at least match whatever is thrown at it due to the nature of spiral energy. And Mazinger Zero wanted to rewrite existence so it was the only popular robot to ever be. But it was still just a reflection of Kouji. Honestly, they fit more as forces of nature with their own domains.

[@starbound100]

You bring an interesting point, because in my opinion, they kind of are meant to be almost more conceptual than the usual super robots made of fantasy special alloys or powered by special energy. I can easily see any of these beat the others simply because who writes the story decides it, so it makes little sense to really compare them.

[@elwinxiao]

What will happened if they swing Shining Trapezohedron towards Getter Emperor/Mazinger Zero? XD

[@MarxMayhem]

So, this is the guy I've heard can go toe-to-toe with Mazinger ZERO, if online discussions are to be believed...

[@AdHocWholius]

Considering the fact that Demonbane uses the Cthulhu Mythos in an almost 1:1, yep. Lemuria Impact was actually used to suppress Mazinger ZERO in Super Robot Wars. Then you get into further things like DEAD END/Vortex Blaster Demonbane and 'Elder God' Demonbane and the Athleta Aeternum which then gets into some ridiculous stuff.

[@starbound100]

​@@AdHocWholiusyeah, zero and demonbane both reached absurd levels of stupid power, once I learned of those two It really made me realize how stupid the Shonen powerscaling craze actually is😂

[@JimThePerson]

Could you talk about aura battler dunbine please.

[@maxspecs]

[@Ryusei_SRX]

I'm asking you, if Demonbabe can beat Akuto Sai & Yogiri Takatou 🤔

[@Kazanarism]

Yes

[@AdHocWholius]

Yes. As for the reasons why, imagine a Mecha that could fight Featherine from Umineko or Hajun from Dies Irae, and win.

[@starbound100]

​@@AdHocWholiusI agree, Demonbane is incredibly OP to the point It makes you laugh. The only other mecha I've ever seen even remotely in the same ballpark is Mazinger Zero, and that says a lot.

[@karthus006]

After all this, it is time to answer the one question that has plagued the mecha community. Who is the strongest mecha?

[@lucashood203]

Joke aside, Demonbane is just too strong at this point, doubt we will see any other mecha franchise that can stand up to its sheer firepower and cosmology.

[@karthus006]

@@lucashood203 And yet you have people saying TTGL is the strongest mecha even until today. So I just want something to link them to when they bring that up.

[@lucashood203]

@@karthus006 TTGL is not even that strong, heck, TTGL wasn't even the strongest of his franchise. Like duh, Anti-Spiral exists for a reason. Meanwhile, Demonbane has shitload of powerful entities, not just only "Elder God Demonbane" or Nyarlathotep.

[@AdHocWholius]

​@@karthus006Demonbane was used as a TTGL humbler for a reason, Gurren fans (powerscalers) hadn't really touched much Mecha and were mostly Shounen glizzy goblins. Gurren doesn't actually pass the stronger mecha franchises like Aquarion, Mazinger and Demonbane. The latter is just the easiest to use because it's sheer power stands up to Cthulhu Mythos.

[@starbound100]

​@@karthus006yeah, A LOT of TTGL fans are the usual suspects that come from dbz or other Battle Shonen. With the usual unfortunate baggage that It means, like not even doing proper research before debating, or making amicable discussions turn into arguements. To answer your question, from what I gathered, I'd say either Demonbane or Mazinger Zero, given that technically both defeated each other in a piece of media at least once (zero erasing all the demonbane timelines in his manga and demonbane suppressing zero with the help of Kouji in srw).

[@G1Grimlock94]

You mean the Super Robot ultimate form

[@doctorakiba]

The problem with Demonbane being brought up with mecha power level discussions is that it fails the rule of cool. Hotblooded awesomeness transcends anything. You can be facing against all the eldritch-tier mecha while riding a literal cardboard robo, but as long as you're pushing forward and your OP theme is playing in the background, you're gonna be the one winning that fight. We never got this for Demonbane. If anything, the more popular version of it is a toned down PS2 port of the original eroge. The biggest irony of it all is that on paper, nothing should be more hotbloodedly cool than cthulhu mecha hentai.

[@lucashood203]

Demonbane isn't cool? I beg to differ.

[@AdHocWholius]

The Magic System literally uses fighting spirit and determination to power up. Hell, the MC almost kills Therion in their first fight because he just released pure rage and magic power directed at him. Also, it's pretty funny that you said 'facing against all the eldritch-tier mecha while riding a literal cardboard robo' because that's almost exactly what happened in the most recent book.

[@lucashood203]

Kurou didn't almost kill Therion, in fact, at that time, he is FAR from reaching the level of an Anticross member, let alone the Beast himself.
