[@kodyfulton7641]

Youre wrong. Bazel attac, Bazel protec, but most importantly he fight deviljho. A friend and I were in a tempered Rathalos fight and deviljho thought he'd join in and screw us over. Deviljho knocked us around like a hooker who will never get paid. Then we here the dreaded screech of a Bazel. Only this wasn't an attacking screech but one of heroic fortitude as he swooped in and taught deviljho a lesson in humility. As the ol jho left in defeat Bazel looks at me and my friend and gives a nod acknowledging our efforts and telling us "I will always be here for you". Bazel saves people. Bazel saves

[@halogenn_]

I would be lying if I said that I dislike the Zorro-esque music accompanying Beeplejuice everytime he divebombs a Monster I´m fighting. I would also lie if I said that I don´t have to throw all my poop at him.

Hunter: *exists Bazelgeuse: *DIVEBOMB!!!

[@Strawfoot]

That about sums it up! :)

[@rikyford]

Fun fact: if you speak to the researcher after catching bazel, she states that they exist in the old world but look different because they evolved differently in the new world.

[@gladiusbladeofthenorth9939]

Flowing Stream Nope,bazel is just rarely seen in the old world,its not different in there.

[@andresmarrero8666]

From my research I have records of encounters between the two Wyverns. In one such encounter, the records tell that a bazelgeuse detonated it's own scales prematurely when grabbed by a Deviljho, greatly wounding the Deviljho while it remained largely unharmed. The records does not tell which reigned victorious, but it would appear that survival between two such creatures depends on the minute details of the circumstances.

[@Strawfoot]

Yeah it's kind of a toss up isn't it? Fight could go either way most times.

[@fujinwinds2514]

The Bazelgeuse is definitely my favorite monster in MHW glad you finally did a lore video on him!

It is actually fun how Bazelgeuse is only monster who wipes floor with Deviljho in the New World during Turf Wars.

[@ThatGuy-ce7rw]

Duskbringer get ready for fanboys that think jho is invincible

[@justryan664]

Maha M for real😂😂

[@anthonyroyforbes]

Well it's actually a tie... At least every time I see them fight they both flee from the area. I just hide in a corner lol. They are some of the best monsters in the history of monster hunter Imo

[@Komod0_arg.8.0]

@Duskbringer Um no, its not equal, the deviljho would win if the battle continued. Lets start with the basics What is the health of the deviljho? mhworld.kiranico.com/monster/deviljho Its 5000 What is the health of bazel? mhworld.kiranico.com/monster/bazelgeuse Its 4550 Now how much damage do they do to each other? It is relatively equal, it can vary but on average its the same damage, so what does this mean, because they do almost the same damage after the confrontation deviljho has a higher % of health in comparission to bazel. Now come off the other aspects. How much damage do they do with their other attacks. Bazel can do 120 damage frequently if uninterrumpted. Decent. Now the deviljho has far more savage attacks and has an attack that does 500 damage, and its not rare for him to repeat it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5m7Z3aqoM-IZ5I (heres proof) Overall its obvious that deviljho is really superior.

Love these lore videos! It really brings more life to the Monster Hunter series

[@Strawfoot]

Why thank you sir!

[@LyricBeMe]

I was waiting for another monster lore videos for a while :D those are my favorites

[@huffjuff7824]

Another good video. Congratulations Strawfoot 😁

[@shinygamer3424]

Thats not true, bazelgeuse is just as strong as deviljho, so if they battle both monsters have a fifty percent chance of winning, however, bazelgeuse has an advantage in mobility. People just cant accept that they are equal

[@shinygamer3424]

Even now, a deviljho fan is likely going to show up and start saying that deviljho is stronger

[@burakka96]

I mean, bazel only manages to escape the jho

[@shinygamer3424]

CyberSaurus0829 and sometimes it kills and chases away the jho, and vive versa. Really, i've seen it happen often

[@burakka96]

Shiny Gamer link? Ive seen them battle hundreds of times and I've never seen that happen

[@shinygamer3424]

CyberSaurus0829 well, I dont remember how to find the videos, but if you search bazelgeuse kills or scares deviljho, you will likely find that, also, in most of the encounters I have seen, bazelgeuse wins

[@roger07ify]

Thanks for the video. Amazing work like always keep up the good work :)

[@voltix9594]

I actually have a list of monsters I would like you to do a lore video on, you don't have to do any if you don't want to (keep in mind this is in no particular order) 1. Tobi-Kadachi 2. Great Girros 3. Radobaan 4. Dodogama 5. Lavasioth 6. Tzitzi-Ya-Ku. 7. Pukei-Pukei 8. Kulu-Ya-Ku 9. Barroth 10. Great Jagras I left out Rathalos, Rathian, Their Subspecies, and Elder Dragons for a reason

[@Strawfoot]

Yeah man, I want to do all of them eventually, I wish I could make them faster. :)

[@jaderabbit1896]

There's really no lore only 2 have some thou but there is a lore about why the hunters have advance tech at their level

[@marcosflores3800]

Your videos are awesome hope you keep making more

[@projectgreengamer]

Note:He did not make the deviljho seem stronger in general than bazelguese, but as the hunter was fighting Bazelguese, it would have weakened by the hunter. Due to being weakened, in an actual environment, the deviljho who had not been weakened by a previous fight, would win.

[@ThatsOk83]

projectgreengamer Deviljho wounded or not will always be on par with bazel, just deal with it already god.

[@MansMan42069]

Raenar Braun Jho fanboys can't deal with the fact that the pickle can't handle spicy food.

[@slenderhatesmillennials195]

Deviljho and Bazelgeuse are arch-rivals in lore, both have an equal capacity in killing each other. Stop sucking the pickle muh nigga, its dry enough

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

The actual mechanics in the game give them an equal chance of beating each other in a turf war. In fact, this is literally the only time that there is equal footing between two wyverns of any kind, with these two being the most likely to win against literally any other non-Elder Dragon opponent. They even have a good chance of beating some of the weaker Elder Dragons.

[@AnchorOfTime]

Bazelgeuse: bomb Seething Bazel: Nuke

[@journalsonhypotheticalasce3693]

You pronounce Boeing B-52 Bomber wrong.

[@nulllex0099]

I didn't even remember this one, until I saw the bombardment. I thought it was an Old World monster! And it's kind of cool to think about the other monster that's closely related, I imagine that one whirls up a gust of sharp scales with the shape they had in that picture. The final touch about notifying the guild to collect the remains after Deviljho was done eating brought that familiar sense of immersion. Great videos! Btw, I highly recommend the Old Jho vs New Jho animation, it's hilarious!

[@handtomouth4690]

Ehhhh, I don't really like how you made Deviljho sound like the definitive winner. You aren't biased for Jho, are you?

[@Strawfoot]

Yes I am, he's my favorite. :P Thanks for the comment Handtomouth!

[@96Thompson]

Handtomouth: Well, Deviljho is the definitive winner. If you think about it then you'll see it too. X^)

[@sonicfan11o9]

Fantendo. Thompson Canonically though it isnt. By canonically I mean its turf war. They stalemate. Both deal damage to each other which equals a tie.

[@96Thompson]

FlipFlopper-Sonic11o9 {Lord Of Corn}: Perhaps. But each time, Deviljho deals a little more damage than Bazel does if you look at the numbers.

[@qlasalle]

B52 always flees after the turf war so who owns the turf? I'm team b52 so this is the only senseable comment I'll make on this. Because B52 is just stretching for that round 2. The only monster to roll up on the pickle. Deviljho has an inherit fear of Bazelgod

[@traineraquamarine4063]

Can we just appreciate how the Deviljho ran over to the Bazelgeuse with the other Monster in his mouth like he was showing Bazel his new toy? I can't be the only one.

[@Strawfoot]

Aww, thanks man, that's good to hear. :)

[@ianjperry6772]

I’ve always had this thought in my head that the bazelgeuse is essentially a deviljho “hawk wasp” if you will.

[@justashark776]

Definitely the best one so far.

[@tylermacgregor1320]

Bazelgeuse is my favourite of the new monsters in World, it’s such a cathartic experience to take him down after all the times he messed with your hunts in early high rank. One thing you missed is that when you capture him and speak to the scholar, he says Bazelgeuse actually has been sighted in the old world (although they’re rare). I think they were hinting at him possibly becoming a series mainstay like Deviljho.

[@Fred-ju1xs]

GREAT footage of a Jho feeding off a Bazel. I've never seen that before even after 900hrs

[@aaroncampbell586]

Strawfoot Considering Bazelguese is easily the biggest Flying Wyvern actually capable of flight, would its flame sac help in keeping it aloft?

[@Strawfoot]

Hmmm, I never even thought of that. Like a hot air balloon or something. Neat idea. Also good to see you again Darkrai :)

[@burakka96]

That's an interesting theory, I personally believe it doesnt normally fly, instead relying on its broad wings to glide on thermals for vast distances

[@aaroncampbell586]

Strawfoot Thank you!

[@BlackRaptor77]

I always had an issue with the likes of Rathalos and Bazelguese being capable of flight despite being bigger and heavier than even a T-rex. So i felt flame sacs help with the idea that fire give the monsters a sort of helium effect on their overall weight and flying ability. Especially on Rathalos whos ability is on par with a giant bird

[@jaderabbit1896]

Theres unklos and i forgot the other both can fly some how and are almost powerful as elder dragons

When I first seen him I thought it was seregios, then I got a nasty surprise

[@traceyjacobsen8544]

I was making a comment about baz and jho on who would win and truly there turf war have always been ties... I'd say in the next monster hunter game there gonna show who would truly wipe who off the floor because bazel so far has shown a chance of standing up against jho But something else has REALLY got me going is in the next monster hunter game imagine if they added an arena that we can watch between 2 monsters fighting againdt each other That would honestly be awesome to see and isn't far fetched either because there are arena's that we can enter but nobody is watching...but imagine an arena where you can bet on which monster will win and which will lose and maybe you can capture a personal monster for yourself for the arena Speaking of personal monster imagine if the next monster hunter was a fully open world game (its unlikely but possible) or somewhat more open then what it was Imagine if we could tame our own monsters and even keep them as pets/mounts/companions I know that part is kinda far fetched but its cool to imagine honestly

[@TheRymHero]

Nice video but i will have to politely disagree with you about Deviljho being superior. I believe that both of them are equal because: 1. They both deal roughly the same amount of damage to each other. 2. In all of the other turf wars the loser is almost always toppled at the end of the turf war. Bazelgeuse is never toppled at the end it is always in the air gives a roar and either flys away or continues to bomb Deviljho. Conversely Deviljho is almost always exhausted at the end.

[@TheRymHero]

Actually scratch that last bit. It's more like 50/50 wether Deviljho becomes exhausted or not. Upon engaging Bazelgeuse Jho becomes enraged and at the end Deviljho is either still enraged or he becomes exhausted. And again I REALLY enjoy these videos. Like allot so much so that i usually check your channel at least once a day to see our you've updated. I'm just not particularly fond of the bias for Jho in this video. Edited: changed engaged to enraged.
