Oh my god, Justin Bonitz nailed kled. Incredible performance and voice control on those cracks. Lillypichu's part before sylas resembling the first demacia vs noxus is pure poetry. Sylas mimmicking lux's rhyme on the other song is mindblowing. What the hell, this song is fire from start to finish.

[@schroecat1]

Yeah, Silas finishing with the callback to Lux was genius.

[@hinro]

holy shit kled killed it. That is possibly one of the top verses in the entire series. It not only has a very similar voice but it captures the character pretty damn well.

[@TheHermy95]

He did well, but why couldn't he curse tho?

[@TheGreatestSpy4life]

"In the entire series" are you sure about that one? This is war 3 & 4 easily had the best verses hands down. Sylas definitely had the best verse in this entire video

Better not blink You're stuck in a gimmick, so easy to mimic Just what did you think? I'm leaving the evidence only when evident Look at you sink, into the web of a deepened deception I'm making connections and taking possession Of every possession, I'm keeping you guessing Now you're on the brink [Verse 8: FrivolousShara as Samira] This can't be survivor's guilt Watched from the window, the life we built (Burn) And all that I could feel Was hatred for not doing more to turn the tide We don't do fear anymore Lining these streets with these bodies galore Vengeance is mine - And I'm coming for yours As a performer the show must go on I bounce back like a warband Hit you from the left with my right hand That's a thorn in your side (Aah!)

[@aschiavoto]

Definitely the HARDEST HITTING This Is War so far. I'm lost for words

[@jacobcoopermogil2683]

I seriously agree.

[@riccardomosena4162]

To me the most "vicious" is still this is wardles 🤣

[@bron379]

After all these years, all the verses are still bangers. Don't remember one TiW being this perfect since 3-4. And wow, that Sylas callback was just chefs kiss Always fun to see a reference you understand, and the visuals are the best they've ever been. Just listened to the original TiW and the progress is incredible. All the love to you and the wonderful team!

[@CataclysmicGod]

Can we just get a whole Kled song after that. That was legit a true match

[@sgtmaggi]

Oh my god, I didn't even know this was coming, thank y'all! Turned out amazing, just wow Referencing the first Demacia vs Noxus with Sylas ending the song like Lux did is pretty clever haha I remember commenting on the first 'This Is War' that Badmin should've been there performing on Jarvan or something similar and getting the reply that he will be on later songs. That he actually will rap as J4 makes my past 16 yo self very happy

[@EdoDave]

That Sion verse had me running it back over and over.

[@AntiRivet]

Yuhhhh!

[@KainYusanagi]

So you could say that that verse made you come back? ;P

[@jairartis]

So you could say…. You came back?

[@bolognious2263]

bruh only knows how to make an olaf voice.

[@AntiRivet]

@@bolognious2263 Sometimes Olaf is all you need. ;D

[@xSoraikkix]

The opening with Badmin felt like I was witnessing the dawn of a new era.

[@leowalker6396]

I just relistened to all of the This Is War Raps and realized the Sylas' ending lines match Lux's and it is simply p o e t i c

[@jacobcoopermogil2683]

Agreed. Utterly mind-blowing throwback to the very first This is War in quite a number of instances.

[@LadyGrimnar]

Knew someone else had to notice glad i found the comment

[@ooxx6542]

Thank you for bringing us such great work! I CRIED when I heard this. I'm so glad can see your epic return on This Is War! Absolutely adore Kled's voice! Damn, that was so crazy!! Too accurate and I am so scared. Everyone all did so great job! It's just... sorry, Kled's voice scared the shit out of me so I don't have many words left.

[@gillesverstrepen1813]

Kled was amazing! Perfect voice, great performance!

[@jixvii]

Been watching since I was in highschool, now almost graduating. Y'all the reason I got into music. I love this series sm

[@PhyreSpore]

WOOOOOOoooooo! Popped OFF! That was awesome! Kled's VA killed it! The flows switching up was so cool! Vayne's comic influences in the music and editing was So Good! The Lux callback in Sylas' verse was sick as HELL!

[@nmvnmv3235]

I have seriously been showing the things you guys have created to so many real MC's. And the fact that EVERY ONE OF THEM got stunned by not only the lyrics and flows, but the production, animation, the god damn music itself. You guys are an insipartion in a recycling industry.

[@lewbae831]

Late to comment but thank you for all the kind words about my voice on the Sylas segment. Props to Rawb for the sick writing!

[@RawbLucci]

you brought it to life !

[@TrueDiegesis]

Top tier writing and a top tier performance! Good stuff mate

[@AdderXll]

there couldn't have been a better end to the song

[@saltworth2570]

It fit perfectly, great job!

[@dieathanasia5013]

Kled is *insanely* well done!

[@Zobuyta]

I like how you include lore and gameplay at the sametime

[@a_level_70_elite_raccoon]

@HalaCG and @FrivolousShara killed it! So glad to see them on this. This is a great mix of talent, awesome job by everyone! That Kled verse was so on-character, and Sylas sent chills up my spine with that voice.

[@SombraLooL]

The verses were incredible and the typography was absolutely on point. So glad This Is War is still getting entries, I'll always listen

[@celinaandersson]

Eight and a half minutes of goosebumps. I've always looked forward to each This is War, and I've yet to be disappointed. Amazing work like always, the singers, the texts, the video. I really thought the opening was an add for a game or so, that's how clean it was.

[@dungeontomato2688]

Ok but why is Poppy's verse one of the best on this track? You guys killed this beat! Well done, well worth the effort, this was amazing!

[@kaphobia]

As always, Antirivet is the MVP! I'm super happy Badministrator came back for this one too! Hands down my favourite LoL rapper! I haven't even played LoL since season 3, you guys are just too good..

[@Lulurie]

Katarina's lines were so good, would love a full version tbhhhh.

[@viperxvii]

LEGENDARY! Heh, never had so many lyrics give me spinechills! I never wanted any of these to end! Justin Bonitz as Kled reeeeaally had my brows raised in surprise, that was an awesome fit, and crazy range.

[@facundocastro6752]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! PERFECT! I'm a great fan of This is War since you guys released the third one. I can sing from memory the first 5 ones. And I've been also a great fan of Hungry Lights since he released Fothcrah. I was super hyped when I saw that you released This is War 8 But hearing Justin's voice in this one, was absolutely surprising and amazing. It's like an "Avengers Assemble" feeling haha

[@xNFR]

the demacia chant is sooo statisfying and the LB and sylas part are complete fire

[@KatelynKate]

The Vayne-LeBlanc-Samira moment was literally perfect

[@KatelynKate]

thank you LeBlanc for making me feel butterflies in my stomach 🙏

[@37Lambo]

I don't have enough words to say this is INCREDIBLE ! Great job everyone, you slayed this !

[@Tesselcraig]

The J4/Leblanc lines are SUCH A DEEP CUT into the lore. I LOVE IT.

[@dumitrache12]

also Xin

[@jacobcoopermogil2683]

Epic references, epic rhymes, and epic animations! Wow, TiW and Falconshield have come a long way!

[@TripTropLove]

Dang Kled's part gives me literal chills, the insanity sounds so real.

[@Spartantag676]

Badmin as always Goated with the sauce. My man stays untouchable but that Sylas verse was C R I S P as well.

[@makotodragon]

As much as I love AntiRivet, I'm glad to see he only performed 1 character. His range is astounding and I'm amazed every time, but I'm glad to see other performers shine in this video. Not to mention we still get to his his and Rawb's writing in other's performances. Overall amazing cast and I love this one the most.

[@AntiRivet]

Believe me when I say that I too am definitely happy to step aside and let other voice actors and performers do their thing, haha.

[@dumbass133337]

Damn, i hope "Zaun vs. Piltover Remastered" is planned too

[@VitharPL]

Every beat, every riff, every verse, and line - to create this ultimate Masterpiece

[@laeliuss7495]

Kled verse is actually the purest fire I've ever seen, probably the best verse in any This is War.

[@hinro]

I would put it up there with teemo, lux, draven, amumu, and lucian.

[@cartozzzTV]

Haven't played league in years but I still come back to these every now and then as a guilty pleasure of sorts. I remember thinking the yordle one would be the last, and then thinking the same thing for every one released after that. Glad to see these are still being made but seeing as this is a callback to the first one but with the newer characters something tells me this really is the last. Either way it's cool to see something from my childhood still being made with passion, even now that I'm an adult and have moved on from LoL. Also, glad to see you manage to get Badministrator back for each one of these you do lol. I mean this with no disrespect but dude has so much talent that I feel he should be in the mainstream music industry rather than just making niche gaming parody music.

[@MetalHeartGunner]

Making Sylas' last lines similar to Lux's lines in the original was a cool touch.

[@dark_fusion1288]

Nailed it once again. Fantastic job to all who were involved. Loving the references you all manage to slip in there too. Especially love the reference to One Piece in Vayne’s verse and the homage to j4 & lb from way back when that was a theory.

[@pmgmsd]

I'm bummed that Kled didn't have the last say (since yes, he's "Noxian," but he hates Noxians and all territory is his), but I understand why Sylas got it. It needed more enunciation on their part, but honestly, I'm happy he was included at all. Thank you for bringing him to life and letting us few Kled mains enjoy the spotlight.

[@purplepepsss]

I have been following the this is war series since the beginning and my heart feels very happy I would always be excited for another one and was very devastated when I saw the disbanding announcement This really brings me back Good work once again!

[@riotmaker239]

Hala being on this song was a great surprise, she popped off! 🔥

[@farleinfortenia3896]

For a moment thought that Kled's performer is actually voicing Kled in league...

[@Zobuyta]

Bro has better Kled voice then Kled himself

[@GreatSirZachary]

Fucking hell man it is too damn good. Nothing but bangers in this one. Did Niqte do the typography here? It was amazing as always.

[@InsaneGroove]

Sion is absolutely terrifying, everything in his part works so well to fill you with dread and despair, I love it.

[@bassheartstrings]

I’m amazed that Kled wasn’t actually voice by Spike Spencer, you got the voice perfectly
