Yea mines as well. Definitely deserves a sequel.

[@mauricedubois9390]

Strongly agree. I enjoy the more focused souls-like experiences much more. Elden Ring was fantastic, but I think it would've been better with some of of the open world stuff cut.

​​@@mauricedubois9390 I think so too. they could have "curated" a little more imo. Take a little bit away here and add a little more there in certain areas. still, I can't say I'm not completely wrong lol

[@ezrawallet]

I tend to think Sekiro is a different genre altogether, which isn’t a bad thing. Soulsborne to me means RPG, where Sekiro is an action game. Both awesome genres but I have a hard time comparing Sekiro to the other Souls games since the basic focus is fundamentally different. Of course Sekiro still has an awesome story and lore but I will always prefer creating my character, trying different armor and weapons, and leveling for a build even if it means grinding, it feels more personal that way. Hopefully one day they’ll find a way to create an RPG that has the same tight combat as Sekiro!

[@anaselfellah6243]

[@mr.reddead4430]

After you guys are finished explaining the stories of the other soulsborne games, you should try making one explaining the story of Hollow Knight. It’s easily the best Souls-like game that’s not made by FromSoftware and has a very rich story that perfectly fits what you guys discuss.

[@Etticos.]

[@panamahank7108]

100% agree! One of my all time favorites!

[@julesrivas1178]

Agreed. Had the same exact thought

[@monkeysk8er33]

I have played and beaten Hollow Knight. Would you like to explain to me what makes it "Soulslike?" Cause I'm not seeing it. It's closer to a Metroidvania than anything. 2D sidescrolling Soulslikes are games like Salt and Sanctuary. No one has made a good 2D sidescroller Soulslike yet. They all suck so far. AC: Origins and Odyssey are closer to a Soulslike than Hollow Knight is, and they're not Soulslikes, just games with Souls inspired combat revamps.

I think the Hirata Estate memory is part time travel, part reenactment of a memory. I think a younger Sekiro saved Kuro from Lady Butterfly and was backstabbed by Owl, and saved by Kuro to get the Divine Blood at first. Then, Sekiro as we know him would eventually end up in the Ashina well 3 years later, possibly getting amnesia of the Hirata Estate. It's implied with the petals around Sekiro in the opening that he has already been revived once.

Now genichiro could be beaten without even getting hit lol very very easily

[@noamias4897]

Sekiro's lore is the best of any from soft game. A good, clear story but with extreme depth hidden in environmental storytelling, missable NPCs and dialogue. So many connections between characters that aren't obvious and so much history behind each location that needs to be found on your own and it still has room for speculation.

[@Thydeepestfear]

Naw Fam. BloodBorne takes that cake. Sekiro is undoubtedly great but BloodBorne really expands one’s imagination and atmosphere hauntingly lingers after you’ve completed the game.

[@mr.ashenfire2624]

No matter which FromSoftware masterpiece you find the best, all of them teach the same lesson; everlasting, immortal life is never all that it promises to be. It sets the world crooked.

[@noamias4897]

@@Thydeepestfear perhaps but there isn't a lot of imagination left for the locations themselves except for Loran perhaps. Sekiro is nice because it brings a lot of obvious stories but also a lot of hidden stories you have to dig deep to discover.

Don’t let the elden ring players see this lmao

[@shhs1227]

@@noamias4897 dog what? every location in Bloodborne is unique and has its own deep lore like every from soft game. It leaves plenty to the imagination as well.

[@chipsbag]

This game shows me the dark reality of immortality: Your body rots over time, yet the soul is preserved

[@aarontruong354]

Amazing video as always! I think it's funny that Sekiro's "lapse of judgement" kept him from finishing off the Guardian Ape in their first encounter, but I think it's because you're able to fight the Guardian Ape before ever going to Senpou Temple. I do think that that should've been considered on From Soft's behalf, it certainly is a bit odd if you did it the other way around and just not use it here. Just an interesting thought

[@Thebrotherscode]

Yes it’s always been an interesting oversight, which we tried to canonise into the story haha. Thank you for taking the time to watch the video ❤️

[@mdvltv3353]

They most definitely should have let you kill off the ape if you had gotten the sword the first. But at the same time how would Wolf know the ape would have gotten back up? Kinda a 50/50 chance considering along the way a lot more the enemies just die the first time.

[@No1_1no]

Or it could pick up right after the true ending and sekiro accompanies them to the west, likely china to return the dragon to its home country and break the whole immortality thing once and for all.

[@swayze_mane]

...also had no idea about the 3rd option for Kotaru via divine abduction. totally makes sense considering the story and the effect of divine abduction on the other monks on Mt. Kongo. this vid even answered a few other questions that have nagged at me forever about the story as well, which just reinforces how brilliant Miyazaki & FromSoft crew are at crafting such amazing literary quality lore... without question some of the best in all of gaming

[@isumkitchens5329]

Yeah the only thing that would make the tragically beautiful worlds from soft has made better would be if at the very least loading screens contained more info about something. Or maybe did like Bloodborne where they show an item and it's description so you can get like a sneak peek at some lore while exploring. I die a lot, if elden ring had something like that I'd be a lore expert by now lol. As is tho ik I'm following God's sick light show to steal special shinies from bosses. That's about all I know, and I'm actually really curious as to why so many bosses are dragons and etc.

[@ModernGamesSuck]

Their stories are all vague and lacking in personal relationships for the player character. No romance, no friendships, and in the case of Dark Souls, the player characters actions have little effect on the fate of the world. They have beautiful settings and interesting gameplay but the stories are all weak.

Sekiro hadn't obtained sakura droplet from Kuro! We get it from defeating Lady Butterfly. It is already said in description that it's left after unsuccessful bound of the Oath with a Divine Heir - which is not the case with us as we are properly bound with Kuro, but it happens AFTER fight with Lady Butterfly -, and after showing it to Kuro he says that it belonged to Takeru! Which implies that somebody tried obtaining immortality through unwillingly bounding Takeru with a new servant. And because it had been unwillingly made it was an unsuccessful try, 'cause it seems that the point of the Oath is that a Divine Heir must be willing to do so (based on that Sekiro was practically unconscious when Kuro bound him with Oath and on that Genichiro never forced Kuro, but he had all the opportunities and willingness for it as he said that he would even leave his humanity behind for achieving his goals)

Also don't know if you noticed this but I theories that the black mortal (open gate) blade belong to lady Tomoe and lord Takeru, they didn't reach the inner sanctum (which is also why the red mortal blade is still in possession of the Divine Child of Rejuvenation), however they did find the black scroll (which is why it can be found near where Isshin reside after you got all the ingredients to go to fountainhead palace) and got their hand on the black mortal blade instead, which is also why Genichiro was able to recover it, he was Tomoe pupil! But what bugged me was how did they failed their immortal severance, as Divine Heir (such as Kuro) are still being born, and they did have all the materials needed to reach the Divine Realm, so perhaps the black mortal blade couldn't perform the Immortal Severance? But it comes with an ability unique to the red one which is the ability to bring back those from the beyond

Let's go! Finally going to give the story a proper chance. Appreciate the content.

[@markeroj2k]

Honestly love the love this game since day one. The lore is deep and I understand that not everybody understands the parallels of the lore. It is also a story that happens in real life.

Honey wake up, Brothers Code dropped another banger

[@TheoPembo.]

Thank you for giving me the lore behind my favourite game of all time!

[@mahmoudmesleh1095]

Great video Now I am crying

[@Carlosr721]

Oh god. Why am I crying after that last speech in the video? That hit hard.

[@Kaito-1412.]

Playing through right now, it’s the only Fromsoft game I haven’t finished of the main 7. Gotta finish my platinum collection before I listen to this

[@Kaito-1412.]

Okay, I’m back. Let’s do this

[@guitargangster66]

As much as I love Dark souls 1, Bloodborne, and now Elden Ring (and I stared souls games with Demon's and played them all), I know that the main Souls was inspired heavily by Berserk. Which is one of the greatest mangas. But hear me out. I don't know if it's inspired by, but Sekiro has many parallels to Blade of The Immortal. My favorite manga, so my opinion might be biased, but that's just my opinion. Sekiro, although super linear, but I think a bit harder due to no cheatsie builds and co op, it's why it's my favorite From game. You have to rely on YOUR skill and nobody else. In Blade of The Immortal, the protagonist and main antagonists depended heavily on that belief. Your own skill. Kuro is the equivalent of Rin, but the bosses take a major turn. As if you read that manga, you'll be like "ok" I'm not saying it's directly inspired, but there do have similar things at some point. I would recommend reading it. If you would be inclined to and see if there are are the similarities between them. Cause souls have been lauded as Berserk inspired. Bloodborne by H.p. Lovecraft (and I'll add The Sherlock Holmes novel The Hound of The Baskervilles). But read Blade of The Immortal and see if you see if you find a parallel. There's some. But I think it was influenced by that that manga. It's not a legit theory, just mine. No spoilers for the manga Edit sorry for the long comment Edit 2: there's alot or Bloodborne atmosphere in the Sherlock Holmes novel Hound of The Baskervilles. It's only a couple of hundred pages.

[@samuelrodriguez1314]

I beat the game twice And had no idea what most of the game was about. You guys made a perfect documentary for me 🙏🏼

[@sebastianllano1405]

It’s like I’m watching a movie. This is the best, most in depth lore video I’ve seen. Great job

[@Thebrotherscode]

Thank you Sebastian, we’re glad you enjoyed the video!

[@lasagnasoda]

i come back to this game for both the fun and the story, its no contest for me that this is the best story they have told. its beautiful, its thrilling, its heart breaking, and i will come back to listen to this tale again and again so thank you for this video

[@fatihackyuz3799]

Perfect story explanation as always keep up the good work

[@adebayooreoluwa7939]

I love your story explaining series bro They're really interesting

[@Explicitneeds]

[@rodriguezlp2314]

So invested in this channel, you guys deserve so much more recognition with the amazing work you put in for this masterpiece 💯🙌

[@alluke24]

This was amazing. You guys did such an amazing job and I can’t stop crying.😢

[@Ultra8294]

This is my favorite game and I always love to learn more about it. Thanks

[@MrIcenice44]

This was a fuckin vibe all the way through

[@Kenji-117]

I think all of your videos are one of the best gems on youtube and i just can't wait for the Elden Ring Story Explanation but i think this might take some time since the lore isn't 100% clear because of some mysteries that still need to be solved.

[@372608]

Thank you for these videos! Seriously these are awesome and I hope to see many more like it to come.

[@BandTrap]

My god..... You guys have me full on screaming in my flat. I'm so fucking happy!!! Just seeing you put a new video feels like christmas ! Keep it up x

[@Thebrotherscode]

Awww man reading that put a smile on my face, we’re glad that you enjoy our content. Thank you! ❤️

[@catjesus812]

Dude I have to play this game. This was beautiful and damn tragic. Thank you so much.

[@Thebrotherscode]

You’re absolutely welcome, you owe it to yourself to play Sekiro! ❤️

[@thebossdestroyer4759]

Honestly an amazing video, you did a great job at going through the story, one note about the Sakura droplet is that there is another theory where lady butterfly tries to gain immortality by manipulating Kuro with her illusions, (Which is why Kuro appears dazed when Sekiro enters the boss room). This fails and creates a Sakura droplet instead. I prefer this theory because you get the droplet after killing lady butterfly (implying that she had it on her person).

[@fuckfacejeffrey2256]

Underrated channel.

[@cliftonjackson441]

I've been waiting for this one for over a year myself. I'm sure it's been longer for others.

[@IncredibleWerekitty]

Great storytelling, and presentation. One singular solitary nitpick. Concerning the cutting off of Sekiro's arm, the word is 'dismembered'. "Decapitated' means SPECIFICALLY that the HEAD is separated from the body.

[@guy-mp9bw]

I’ve listened to this at least 3-4 times now! This was fucking amazing keep up the hard work!

[@MeLikeMontage]

A masterpiece of a video. Well done guys and thank you for making this.

[@yamiatemyugi]

[@mohamadnourshorai1447]

[@DragonPrincess69]
