The Jet Set Radio Iceberg: Explained (With FalseProof)

[@FalseProof]

wow this is a long one bud!

[@Nateb64]

It sure is my man

[@CompletelyChaotic]

The theory about yoyo's interpretation of the story actually makes a lot of sense. The game starts right when yoyo joins the GG's, when the team has already been established, yoyo is the first character you play as, and yoyo's design looks a lot more "cool", and he looks a lot more "grown up", which might be how yoyo see's himself.

[@QuinnTheSuperStar]

Yeah, I was confused why so much of the second game focused on Yoyo in the story.

[@juhadexcelsior]

If it was from his perspective, shouldn't we have seen him get kidnapped and cloned?

[@sintechofficial7170]

I wouldn't say that... I'd say they probably wanted to make him a main character in a "Remake" thus making him more inclusive to the story

[@austins19982]

@@QuinnTheSuperStar second game was a reboot… there was never anything to beat in general besides him being the first playable character?

[@trustycrusty1773]

Yoyo's also a compulsive liar and would absolutely embellish many of the details of the story

[@pBmauvv]

25:39 fun little addition to that if you collect all the graffiti souls in JSRF and then look at all the graffiti selections in order from XS to XL it’ll write out the same phrase “Be A Master Of The Streets”

[@GuffMcGufferson]

27:05 Oh my god I just realized that's the image I put on the JSR Wiki back in like 2016! The iceberg listing Clutch's pose as a T-Pose was definitely because of me, since I listed it as a T-Pose on the wiki when I didn't know what else to call it, though looking back it definitely looks more like an A-Pose or something similar

[@enchilada8118]

I want to add something: One of Clutch's ears (the right one) is textureless, appears with flashing purple and sometimes black colors, and that even shows while playing in the original XBOX

[@EBroxas72]

(OP of the iceberg here) Do you have a screenshot of that? I think I remenber that glitch?

[@EBroxas72]

@@enchilada8118 Thank you!

[@juhadexcelsior]

I noticed the purple the other day and thought my emulator was messing up lol

[@ITRASHBOATI]

I’ll also add something. there’s a bug in JSRF where if you don’t tag clutch while he’s running around after a while, then he will stop spawning making it impossible to continue the games story and soft locking you from beating the game. this happened to me while playing the game. I ended up having to find a save file online that takes place right after you get Clutch. seems like Clutch was the last character added to the game since he appears to be the most unfinished and bugged.

[@neonkenomi320]

Hopefully this spreads, good on you guys making video on this. JSR is a franchise that deserves it's praise. Hopefully more Sega icebergs outside Sonic will get made. I've considered doing one for Streets of Rage and Phantasy Star.

[@pBmauvv]

27:43 I think this is a reference to the beginning of the game and also how yo-yo seems to be the main character. Think about it, you play as him at first, the ggs recruit yo-yo first, and he’s the one who gets kidnapped. Other than that idrk about the theory

[@PachiiMochii]

25:47 Holy shit, I never expected my work to be referenced here! Thank you guys so much for the lil inclusion, means a lot to me! ^_^ One day ill dig further into the clock, see what its about moreso. Im just kinda blessed to see my work still loved like this, yknow? ^_^

[@spvcs3615]

Always found it strange how TAB & GUM/ Corn & Gum are the leaders but Beat was the poster child of Jet Set Radio. & Jet Grind.

[@Pomodoroegg]

You don’t even see yo-yo on there at all which is sad

[@noisetank0994]

Love that someone made an iceberg for this game, so happy

[@umrasangus]

The author of the iceberg forgot about poison jam members being cannibals in JSRF What do you think that happened to the 29 victims that fell to their trap? I don't see them in there

[@FalseProof]

That’s fairly interesting. Do you remember if it’s from JSR or JSRF?

[@amysel]

I expected to know all of them outside of bad fan theories, but to my surprise I only knew about 70% of it. Really good job on covering this.

[@GSEleven]

Fun tidbit that was unknown to some of the community, Garam states he would be second in command in Future if you read their dialogue in the garage in between missions. I was surprised when I told people in the JSRFMP server a while back and they didn't know this.

[@rodimusmaximus3912]

The whole Jet Grind vs. Jet Set thing confused me when I first found out about it. I always remembered the game as Jet Set, that's what me and my friends always called it even way back in 2000. We must have been made aware of the original name somehow, since being an NA kid we obviously would have had copies that were titled Jet Grind, but I never read those gaming magazines and I certainly wasn't on the internet yet so I don't know how we would have known that.

[@nicolaashamman6201]

26:07 If Numa is referencing Hideki Naganuma, it wouldn't surprise me if Wave is short for WAVE MASTER, the company he worked for during JSRF's development. And Check is like a quality assurance/testing thing, as in a bug check. I don't know what Wave, Numa, Check is like in the final, but I'd just assume from the name it's a notes from Naganuma about stuff that needs fixing.

[@Gpop119]

Something I haven't seen mentioned in the iceberg for the bottom, but back in the early days of the Official Xbox Magazine, they had challenges they would ask readers to do, and if you complete them and mail them pictures as proof, you get points which could net you rewards. One of the challenges in the earliest editions of the OXM was for JSRF. Apparently the editors were told by someone from SEGA/Smilebit that if you 100% complete everything in the game (unlock all characters, grab all graffiti souls, and probably tag all remaining graffiti), you will unlock a big "secret thing". However, I don't know if this was ever found or if anyone has ever found anything, as I never heard about it ever again. I see some other people online mention it, but discussions never seem to continue after mere mentions of it. If I can find my magazines again, I'll DEFINITELY scan that page mentioning this "secret".

[@NintendoSunnyDee]

Wait, seriously??? I 100% this game back in '17 to see what I would get, to no such secret!

[@tylerdurden4025]

The big secret is the friends you made along the way!

[@sn0wmankuro]

I think there’s still more about this game that we don’t know. Once you beat the game and have been to every area, there’s still an open spot in the middle of the map where it looks like another area would be. I can’t seem to find any information or even theories about it, surprisingly.

[@srbrant5391]

You missed quite a few: Gouji's tower visible in the Rokkaku Expo Stadium even _after_ the game is completed. Rocket launchpads in Kogane-Cho in JSRF. The giant salamander in the sewers. The masked NPCs, treadmills and Haniwa in the Fortified Residential Zone. Eric Haze's artwork. The dark truth of Yoyo in the Fortified Residential Zone. The Golden Rhinos are no longer Arabian in JSRF. Rokkaku Gouji's helmet in the finale. Ro-Boy is a Noise Tank prototype. The Latch Brothers are the Beastie Boys.

The algorithm said you like JSR AAAAAND ICEBERG VIDEOS ? Here ya go. Nice vid m8!

[@gateauxmillefeuille8788]

heya! i wanna talk about benten-cho a little bit, so here goes. benten-cho is pretty clearly based on shinjuku, with certain zones reflecting certain areas- of note to me is the area with the bridges and the highway being quite similar to some of the larger main roads, as well as the nightlife area with the tower having the spiral grind on it being quite similar to the backstreets of shinjuku, in particular IMO 3- and 7-chome. this is a pretty cut and dry reference too; the signage for the train station in the highway area denotes it as "benten-cho 3-chome". also, the area with the large neon ロマン通り (romance road) sign is... yeah, you can see where i'm going with this, it's kabuki-cho. it's clear to me that the porno billboards, which by the way, the one is a triple feature of a lonely housewife, an office lady and a university student, so yeah theres really no other way to interpret it, were there because the devs maybe wanted to make that area a little truer to life. obviously, it didn't fly with censors, so it didn't make the cut. ALSO: burger queen is not the only brand homage in the game. another, which made it through cause the brand doesn't exist in america, is madame bagel, which is named after a relatively popular donut chain called... you guessed it! mister donut.

26:00 I'm kind of annoyed that people keep saying it has to be done during a test run, when you don't. The clock works the same during normal free play. Also, there's a clock that looks the same in RDH. 20:40 The robot looks more like something affiliated with the Rokkaku police, just look at the hat and compare it to a normal Rokkaku police. 20:08 There's also unused sound files for Hayashi that sound like sword swinging. 11:40 The lyrics are all wrong.😭 I think the iceberg should have mentioned: Charles Martinet being the English voice actor for Gouji. Corn's name was supposed to be Cone in JSRF, but was mistranslated, which also explains why his logo (vector? idk) in character select screens is a cone. Roboy is a Noise Tank that the GGs found from a dumpster. The trailer for JSRF has scenes where the player has over 35 cans. and lastly all the unused content in the files. Idk who made the iceberg, but theres a lot of things they could have added

I would have including the song "Many Styles", probably on one of the higher levels. If you didn't know, it's a song exclusive to the PAL version of Grind City, and it also didn't make it into the HD version. It's easily the most obscure song in the series. Edit: Except for Dunny Boy Williamson Show, apparently, a song exclusive to the Japanese original and made by Deavid Soul. I didn't even know this existed a few weeks ago.

17:49 is partially true. The lettering in jsr says ereki in katakana, in jsrf though his shirt says his name (ビート) in katakana

[@giojo0000]

About the Yoyo perspective theory, albeit someone else probably already talked about it (and it's been 2 years) I decided to share what I know about it as well I also don't remember where I saw it.. My best guess is that it was on a commentary on a youtube video, or perhaps a soundcloud rip of the ost Basically, the theory kind of points to how Jsr and Jsrf's stories are so similar, and how Yoyo is somehow a member of the GGs before Beat, even Another topic that I'm surprised that isn't present in the iceberg, is the fact that Jsr's story could possibly all be all a lie/hugely exaggerated and distorted by Dj Professor K too, as the story of the game is seemingly told entirely by him

[@V0idedOut-E33]

proposed new fan title for the cancelled wii title is Jet Set Radio: Movement I mean we literally have no information on what this game could have been and didn't even get anywhere but concept art, but if we have JSR, Future, Evolution (another rejected pitch), I think we can call this one JSR: Movement.
