1:21 "That nasty boogie bugs me." - Sekiro is crushing bugs. 1:23 "Somehow it has drugged me." Sekiro uses a sugar; that's pretty much drugs. 1:25 "Spellbound rhythm gets me on my feet." Sekiro is resurrecting back onto his feet. 1:29 "I've changed my life completely." Genichiro is changing. 1:31 "I've seen the lightning leave me." Sekiro is deflecting lightning. 1:33 "My baby just can't take her eyes off me." That is Snake Eyes Shirafuji. This video is genius. There are many more lyrical references in the animation that I've noticed but I would not be surprised if there are more that I missed. Well done.

[@chairuptop]

During the “I just can’t control my feet” it shows wolf collapsing(can’t control his feet because he dies), possessing someone else(they can’t control their feet), and then wolf and a ministry guy goin off to follow the actual dance interpretation

Aren’t the other two scenes a loss of control as well? The incursion of the interior ministry shows that genichiro can’t control the outside of his own castle, and the doctor that you trick someone into going to, which results in them going mad (and loosing their control of themselves).

I know everyone has commented on how funny, this is and how it perfectly encapsulates the NG+ experience and all of the story beats. Some even noticed all the easter eggs (like Frampt statue behind Hanbei) What stood out to me was that this was low key a prosthetic strategy guide as well. None of the prosthetic animations are random. They're all the most optimal choices for those particular fights. It was just done so stylishly that it just seems like part of the dance. Every bit of this video was so well thought out. Bravo.

[@Hehfg]

Could you explain them? I saw the flamethrower, divine abduction and I guess maybe the coin throw, but the only one that I understood was the mistraven one with the lightning at the end.

[@hieuNguyen-om8sg]

​@@Hehfg for the isshin fight i saw sekiro uses three prosthetic flamevent cus it can stagger genichiro big mortal blade move umbrella because it counter isshin heavt dragon sweep and slash, and if timed correctly u can even retaliate and deal big posture and heatlhdmg the mist ofc for lightning reversal divine abduction is for farming side note: i also love that when isshin pull out the spear the only thing u can do is try to deflect it as it can be seen in the vid side note 2: the flamevent is also kinda better in this case compared too firecracker imo because u can follow up with living force for a burn proc which is nice side note 3: at 3:00 he also use sen throw, which i heard is very strong in melee range, it acted like a shotgun, but i dont reconize the boss

[@viktorvannauw845]

@@hieuNguyen-om8sg I used sen throw in the ishin fight. Phase 2 is the hardest, so when I saw he close to posture breaking, I stun-locked him with senthrow to build up the last posture. and phase three is alright with the lightning reversal

[@Late0NightPC]

@@hieuNguyen-om8sg I'm fairly certain that moment at 3:00 isn't a specific boss, but a generic Ministry duel swordsman with the large red hats. Though to add on, he also uses the Firecracker against the True Monk. It's excellent against both the true and false monk, as she can be almost always stun locked with a firecracker followed by two attacks, followed by another firecracker. The false monk can swap the firecracker for snap seeds as she's an illusion and not only gets stunned but also takes massive posture damage from them. The only time she can break free from the combo is if you are slightly late on a followup attack, or if she's able to start up her multiple spinning slash attack.

Also he’s damaging the Monk as every time he snaps he’s using Snap Seeds -2:25 Isshin doing Gangnam Style -2:39 “Dirty rhythm” as he’s cursed -2:42 The Worm, from anything -2:47 If someone could tell me what this is from I’d die happy -2:55 Holy Moonlight Sword from Bloodborne as MJ says “moonlight” -2:58 I think that might be referencing the tiktok video of that guy stepping up on thin air -3:01 Gazelle stripper from Lone Digger? Onwards are even more mainstream dance moves that I can’t name Rocky reference Deflecting to the beat Tapping his fan shield to the beat Spamming block Isshin genuinely pulling out a glock Along with tons of stuff hidden in the background that I haven’t addressed Tik Tok logo Celeste BLOODPORNE IGN guide The list goes on This video is a fucking work of art and deserves far more appreciation If anything I’m gobsmacked that there isn’t a reference in here to Oscar Issac from THAT scene in Ex Machina

2:50 is easily one of the best animations I have ever seen. Divine Confetti, Tanto and Ako stance all in one fluid motion. Every moment is a masterpiece.

[@Atzay]

IT'S HERE!! And it's fucking UNBELIEVABLE!!! Seriously man this was so worth the wait! Really really impressive stuff, with such perfect timing throughout, and all those small details shoved in so beautifully! All this and much more while being consistently hilarious as hell! Some of my favorite bits are the timed "wooo"s with the kite ninja soaring through the skies and later with the Armored Knight falling, or the timed finger snaps(eed) that damage the Corrupted Monk, such brilliant and funny details all over the video! I've only mentioned a couple but there so many noteworthy ones (like the Miyazaki idol, the Filianore reference or the thematically perfect dance moves of the Senpou spinny monks), I had to watch the whole video again at 0.5 speed to appreciate it in all its depth! I hope it blows up because you deserve some serious recognition, it's definitely one of the best parody animations for any From Software game I've ever seen, and as you probably know there many great ones! Thank you for your work and good luck for your next projects!!

[@fitzroyanimations]

I cannot express how wide my grin was/is while reading this. This is one of the nicest things I’ve ever read, thank you so much! Also if you’re watching it at 0.5 speed try to figure out the puzzle I put in there it’ll let you know what’s coming up next ;)

[@Atzay]

@@fitzroyanimations I'm happy about that, you deserve all the praise for your work! By the way I took another careful watch at the video and OOOOH SHIT! BLOODPORNE Give it to me already, sounds like it'll be a blast! A Bloodborne parody animation, what more could you ask for? Also this one already has some hilariously sexual scenes so I fear what you will create, based on that title hahaha I actually didn't manage to find the L, but I'm sure I missed it somewhere, otherwise BOODPORNE doesn't make sense Now watch as there actually is no L and I missed some letters so it's something else entirely lol Fun thing is I actually saw a couple of those marked letters before, but didn't really consider them, and I also caught a new amazing detail thanks to this deep dive, the Demon of Hatred in Sekiro's glasses (I noticed a strange pattern the first time but didn't recognize it) I also love the Kodama from Princess Mononoke and Madeline, I immediately recognized them when I first watched the video but forgot to mention them in the first comment, they're really nice touches!
