It changes meaning when it goes from a generic battle cry that could be replaced with "for my people", "go fuck off" or "your mother". But when it is Zeratul trying to make up for losing Auir, for not seeing Amon's plans soon enough, for all his personal failings, then it hits hard
@@rory8182Indeed.... atonement for him. It was from Zeratul's mind that the Overmind first plucked the location of Aiur, precipitating its fall. No doubt that weighed heavily on him.
@@shuttlecrossing1433 "The Nerazim have always been a vagabond people, Artanis. Aiur was always our home." Zeratul couldn't have proven her right more succinctly.
If not for Zeratul then all would have perished. He followed the clues that foretold the fact that without Kerrigan, all would perish, then he set the dominoes in motion.
After everything he's been through, after everything the Protoss have done to him, Zeratul's final battle cry is "My life... for Aiur." Not for Shakuras, but for Aiur. He never forgot his true homeworld and everything he did was done for the sake of his people. Just chills, man. This scene is amazing.
It's even more powerfully selfless when you realize that Zeratul was not born on Auir. He was born on Shakuras. The only two Dark Templar that were old enough to remember Auir were Raszagal (1045 years old at the time of her death) and Mohandar (around 1150 aroud after the events of Brood Wars, right before he died). Raszagal was born on year 1455. The Nerazim were established on Shakuras on the year 1500. Raszagal was around 45 years old when they got banished. But Zeratul was born 1865. 365 years after the Nerazim were banished from Auir. So knowing this we could assume that Zeratul was not born on Auir. So the Nerazim really never did forget their responsibility to Auir despite no longer living there as Zeratul had said in SC1.
All dark templar still view aiur as their origin and have true love for it despite being outcast. Well almost, as it was fostered in their culture.. That while they do not need or want the khalal, their planet is a different story. Regular aiur protoss were against them, but the animosity wasnt mutual on many cases.
@@B.Scruby It is... Interesting. Starcraft 1's lore in the manuals tell a different story. The date of the Discord was never explicitly stated and Zeratul's page made it out to be like he was born on Aiur and always remembered his homeworld. Of the many retcons Starcraft 2 made that I hated, while this one does pose many of the same inconsistencies, it does leagues for making Zeratul's selfless actions here impactful and makes it a net benefit for the story. I wish the same could be said of the other retcons made.
Huh. Man Blizzard really likes reusing ideas, don't they. I mean I can't be the only one who misheard Nerazim as Nathrezim when they first heard it. One's the order for Dark Templars, the other being the racial name for a species of vampiric psychic demons.
This in spite being rejected as a traitor and banished from his homeworld, all because he wanted to choose his own beliefs. Goodbye, Space Gandalf... You showed everyone what it means to forgive.
+ Luxai Yep, banished from both sides and called as a traitor by the Templars and the Dark Templars. Templars already look down on Zeratul because he is a Dark Templar. On top of it, Zerg Overmind found out the location of Aiur because Zeratul killed Zasz (briefly able to read each others' mind) and accidentally revealed Aiur. Dark Templars also see Zeratul as a traitor because he killed Matriach Raszagal.
@@Chemicalkinetics really meh? I thought she wanted him to kill her? Oh wait... zeratul left shakuras right? So he didnt explain or smthn? Idk its been very long since i played this game
@@SCP-up4ot he left because the guilt he had from killing the matriarch led him to look for prophecies and shit. He went mad cuz of the guilt so he search for prophecies like a madman
@@RFGSwiss Well yes, but that was unintentional. When he killed that Cerebrate, his mind and Overmind's connected for a moment. He didn't do it on purpose.
When a swordsman no longer cares about saving his own life his offensive potential increases dramatically, as shown here by Zeratul. He decided freeing Artanis is more important than his life, so he charged forward only thinking of cutting off Artanis' neural cords and leaving himself wide open to the blades.
Zeratul is a true hero. He told Jim that he must save Kerrigan and dont let her die. He told Kerrigan that she must mutate into the primal zerg. He saved Artanis and told him the way to win Amon. Whole his life Zeratul was exploring galaxy and was finding the true about world. If there aren't be Zeratul, everything be gone.
Nobody can claim themselves their "Loyalty To The Soil" any harder than how Zeratul has in this scene. Nobody. Made my heart, mind, body, and soul cry all at once 😭
The thing is that even the Nerazim still consider Aiur their homeworld. Shakuras was more like a temporary residence until they could return "home". Also, they were far more forgiving toward the Khalai than vice versa.
@@gyppygirl2021 They longed for the acceptance of their people, but didn't want to use the Khala. In some way the ending is the one that's perfect to the Nerazim, since all the protoss are freed from the Khala there is no longer this religious barrier that separates them so they can unite again.
He was banished from his home world and was renounced as a traitor, and yet he sacrificed himself for the people who did that to him. Zeratul is more human than... humans.
Ehh.. Humans were pretty shit honestly. Protoss, by virtue of the khalal to share emotions and thoughts allowed themselves to be quite satisfied in their respective caste and roles. Wars stopped for many years among themselves Human were still fighting themselves lol..
1:44 And in that moment, Amon was doomed. A warrior isn't just one that rushes headlong into combat... A warrior fights so others don't have to... A hero is one who would give their life so that others may live... "To give your life so that others may live, there is no higher calling." -Lord Saladin, paraphrased En taro Zeratul.
It is Artanis' fault. Zeratul told him to sever his nerve cords but he would not listen. Zeratul died to save Artanis, even though he could have easily murdered him instead.
Y2K Blackout he couldn't. Amon's influence had already taken over artanis. Even if artanis wanted to, he couldn't. If artanis could have, he would have listened to zeratul, as they both go way back.
Y2K Blackout Artanis could not sever his own nerve cords, Amon had already reached him in the Khala. All the strength Artanis had was used to hold Amon off as long as possible, he could not spare any energy to sever them himself, he was holding off a GOD from taking control of him
Sebastian A Artanis is a new leader, the Dae'laam leader is basically a monarch, they are strong only because of the people, Artanis wanted to gain approval of the protoss and give them back what they lost. Artanis also knew that he could not stop when Zeratul told him to because the Dae'laam had already gotten riled up about retaking Aiur, he could not have stopped them, even if he tried.
Except that obiwan died for literally no reason when he could've escaped or tried to kill Darth Vader, while Zeratul's death had actual meaning and sacrifice.
The guy could literally just use the force to crush his breathing device. He could've mindtricked nearby stormtroopers fire at Darth Vader. Obiwan was not smart.
God i wish we were all so respectful and devoted to something... But society inevitably forces us to be amons when I'm sure that in our hearts we all want to be zeratuls and that's because in our world mengsks are considered badasses...
1:09 Artamonis: Your arrogance blinds you, Zeratul. Now you will experience the full power of the Dark Side! At last, the Dark Templar are no more! 1:13 Zeratul: Not if anything to say about it I have!
Real men cried here... (even if they were still in their teens or twenties) I read somewhere than originally, Zeratul was going to be the main character of LotV campaign, travelling around trying to unite the various factions of Protoss. While this was most definitely the epicest of sendoffs, I still feel his overall handling was a disservice
And Exiled warrior, hated by the Daelaam for the killing of the cerebrate that showed to the Overmind the location of Aiur, hated by the Nerazim for the inevitable death of Raszagal. Thats the guy that said thous words, the one guy that everyone hates gave his life in the service of not just Aiur but to the service of the entire univers. He was a hero after all, he deserves the shouting of his name in his honor. En Taro Zeratul
Sebastian A wrong, hated by Conclave( and the rest of Aiur faction) because of Overmind's invasion. Hated only by Vorazun because he killed her mother. He was legitimate person who guild the Dark Templar in Rasagal's position. But driven by guilt, he decided to become a wanderer, seeking for the salvation. In the original starcraft( not expansion) zeratul was hated by the Aiur faction, for he is dark templar. He also was a hero at that time, for providing new home for aiur protoss.
2 years since i played legacy of the void and im still crying when i see this.. thank you for the save the entire universe. EN TARO TASSADAR EN TARO FENIX EN TARO ZERATUL
Zeratuel. You shall be missed Truly your sacrifice was one of the greatest that every noble warrior wished they could obtain when their time has come....... however if Fenix is any indication some warriors don't stop battling even after death 😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏
I cannot properly put into words the amount of emotion and nuance behind the line "My Life for Aiur" as uttered by Zeratul, as it would require a massive lore dump to put it in the proper context. Suffice it to say, Blizzard was brilliant in its execution of this scene.
I will admit, I shed tears after this scene. If anyone deserved to see this through to the end, it was Zeratul. Best character in the SC universe by far!
its almost 6 years and I find the video got the wrong title, instead Artanis Kills Zeratul, "Zeratul sacrifice his life to save Artanis from corruption"
When I watched this scene the very first time, I had to stop playing. Zeratul was my hero in all Starcraft universe. He was a teacher for all us. And after all that happened, even the differences... he gained the respect of all races... and he never forgot about his real Homeworld, knowing that he might not see it again... He last word were: " For Aiur" he resume a lot in only 2 words: "Artanis will free our homeworld. Kerrigan Will safe the universe and Jim will fightto help them both... My job here is done... this is my last stand: For Aiur..." Jess! the third part of Starcraft II is really OVERWHELMING! I have chills in the trailer, I cried this scene and cried the kerrigan sacrify... all at once. Was an Epic finale for one of the best saga of videogames.
I bet Zeratul was thinking about the Khali Protoss that gave up their lives for Zeratul to escape Char, retrieve the prophecy, escape the taldarin temple and this was his turn.
This is the first video of this series that I have ever seen and it broke my heart. I fell in love with Zeratul but then HE DIED WHAT THE HECK MY HEART GOT RIPPED OUT AND HE MEXICAN HAT DANCED ON TOP OF IT I AM SO HURT WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN. sorry my emotions got a hold of me. i'm sad
Mitchell Shumway are you sure this is the only moment of starcraft sad moments cause there are much more like tycus death ,kerrigans infest , stukov death , tosh death and the transform of kerrigan to that fire creature so this game is made to make you cry lol XD
I am not that deep into Starcraft lore but I like the idea of the wise old sage wizard like character being given a meaningful death by liberating and saving the next in line who is basically the new hope.
I actually cried abit... after all hes done... gave me as a Terran information about the queen of blades. gave me as a Zerg information about the primal zergs (1 final mission would be impossible without them) he was just that selfless Protoss who was always on the player side for his prophecy... and then he died... saving the player again... and just fades away
a true protoss isn't hiding behind the khalai a true protoss is protecting his fellow protoss even if he has to exchange it with his life "my life for Aiur" really one of the most powerful quotes from Zeratul.
Imagine going back to the year 2000 then showing this video at e3 2000 then warp out of that place after the video finishes just to hype the sc players.
Indeed. And if the Void is another universe and Amon was able to penetrate into the StarCraft universe with void rifts, he probably could've opened into other universes as well. So in fact the multiverse owed zeratul a huge debt.
I cried. Ngl. Branded as a heretic and ostracized by the conclave. Zeratul was hated by the templar. Then, he even helped guide them out of darkness and it cost him his life. His last words were my life for Aiur. So powerful. The home of the people that hated him he spoke life into at his own expense. Deep.
They killed off Zeratul for a beta version of Fenix aka Artanis, and then turned Kerrigan into a giant Super Saiyan to kill N'Zoth-in-space. RIP Starcraft
Anyone that thinks I can't cry never saw me the first time I saw this cutscene and saw the death of my favourite character in the series. True description on there would be Zeratul saves Artanis, and the Protoss, And the Galaxy.

After hearing "my life for Aiur" 70 billion times during the first game, I never thought they'd be able to make it an epic line.
It changes meaning when it goes from a generic battle cry that could be replaced with "for my people", "go fuck off" or "your mother".
But when it is Zeratul trying to make up for losing Auir, for not seeing Amon's plans soon enough, for all his personal failings, then it hits hard
I would say that's because this time, it's no battle cry, but naming the price he's going to pay.
@@rory8182Indeed.... atonement for him. It was from Zeratul's mind that the Overmind first plucked the location of Aiur, precipitating its fall. No doubt that weighed heavily on him.
Given the Dark Templar lost Aiur long ago, and Zeratul cost the Protoss Aiur to the Zerg, it hits a lot harder to hear Zeratul saying it.

En Taro Zeratul
I still tear up to this.
I cannot properly put into words the amount of emotion and nuance behind the line "My Life for Aiur" as uttered by Zeratul, as it would require a massive lore dump to put it in the proper context. Suffice it to say, Blizzard was brilliant in its execution of this scene.
Zeratul was a jedi with a green lightsaber. he became one with the force
Anyone still watches this in 24` and gets goosebumps.
They say that one warrior's life is worth to save many. But zeratul was beyond many.
I will admit, I shed tears after this scene. If anyone deserved to see this through to the end, it was Zeratul. Best character in the SC universe by far!
I was Angered when My cousin said "hey when humans die they still have to be buried protoss just turn to dust then bye bye"
its almost 6 years and I find the video got the wrong title, instead Artanis Kills Zeratul, "Zeratul sacrifice his life to save Artanis from corruption"
When I watched this scene the very first time, I had to stop playing.
Zeratul was my hero in all Starcraft universe. He was a teacher for all us.
And after all that happened, even the differences... he gained the respect of all races... and he never forgot about his real Homeworld, knowing that he might not see it again... He last word were: " For Aiur" he resume a lot in only 2 words:
"Artanis will free our homeworld. Kerrigan Will safe the universe and Jim will fightto help them both... My job here is done... this is my last stand: For Aiur..."
Jess! the third part of Starcraft II is really OVERWHELMING! I have chills in the trailer, I cried this scene and cried the kerrigan sacrify... all at once. Was an Epic finale for one of the best saga of videogames.
I just realized: Zeratul sounds a lot like Optimus Prime.
His old voice suited him better. But sadly the original voice actor died before SC2.
Zeratul didn't cloak so you could watch this cinematic. So really, you the player, killed him.
They need to make some movies or TV shows already, so damn good and underrated.
I bet Zeratul was thinking about the Khali Protoss that gave up their lives for Zeratul to escape Char, retrieve the prophecy, escape the taldarin temple and this was his turn.
I'm not crying, you're crying
This is the first video of this series that I have ever seen and it broke my heart. I fell in love with Zeratul but then HE DIED WHAT THE HECK MY HEART GOT RIPPED OUT AND HE MEXICAN HAT DANCED ON TOP OF IT I AM SO HURT WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN. sorry my emotions got a hold of me. i'm sad
Mitchell Shumway are you sure this is the only moment of starcraft sad moments cause there are much more like tycus death ,kerrigans infest , stukov death , tosh death and the transform of kerrigan to that fire creature so this game is made to make you cry lol XD
Honestly this was one of few moments where I felt like I was playing the OG starcraft again. This and when raynor and artanis had that chat on korhal.
They broke all of our hearts by killing the coolest guy in the story...
@@spaceengineer9576well for me, this is the most and only emontional line in this game that I can, want to remember
Top 10 anime betrayals.
More like top ten anime sacrifice
The only laser weapon cooler than a lightsaber.
I am not that deep into Starcraft lore but I like the idea of the wise old sage wizard like character being given a meaningful death by liberating and saving the next in line who is basically the new hope.
I wanted to be zeratul even before starcraft finished production.
"Mr. Artanis...I don't feel so good..."
The heroïsm of the protoss always gives me goosebumps
My life for auir
That moment where all your lungs can muster is a soft "No..."
This is the saddest and most bad ass thing to ever come out of the Starcraft universe
I actually cried abit...
after all hes done...
gave me as a Terran information about the queen of blades.
gave me as a Zerg information about the primal zergs (1 final mission would be impossible without them)
he was just that selfless Protoss who was always on the player side for his prophecy...
and then he died... saving the player again... and just fades away
- Zeratul... Forgive me..
T_T
I really love how the Protoss got Order 66-ed. One moment they are all large and mighty, and in the next it's all gone...
finally the phrase got enormous meaning
a true protoss isn't hiding behind the khalai
a true protoss is protecting his fellow protoss even if he has to exchange it with his life
"my life for Aiur" really one of the most powerful quotes from Zeratul.
Imagine going back to the year 2000 then showing this video at e3 2000 then warp out of that place after the video finishes just to hype the sc players.
At this moment, the entire universe owes this brave warrior a debt that can never be repaid.
Indeed. And if the Void is another universe and Amon was able to penetrate into the StarCraft universe with void rifts, he probably could've opened into other universes as well. So in fact the multiverse owed zeratul a huge debt.
I now understand, he didn't scream that Amon leave his body, he screamed in pain that he killed Zeratul
I cried. Ngl. Branded as a heretic and ostracized by the conclave. Zeratul was hated by the templar. Then, he even helped guide them out of darkness and it cost him his life. His last words were my life for Aiur. So powerful. The home of the people that hated him he spoke life into at his own expense. Deep.
They killed off Zeratul for a beta version of Fenix aka Artanis, and then turned Kerrigan into a giant Super Saiyan to kill N'Zoth-in-space. RIP Starcraft
total badass, still my favorite protoss ever.
Blizzard really know world building in fantasy
This is how you kill off a beloved character.
Not by using a butterfly swarm.
I love how Artanis is flying at him and Zeratul is steady calm and still. So cool.
“You have persecuted us for generations, now you beg us to aid you? We will do what we must, but we do it for Aiur, not you!” -Zeratul
I came back to feel, yup its still there, the sadness ive felt first time is still there.
The specific shot at 1:45 makes it seem like Artanis is starring up at a 20 metre tall Zueratal
Still remains the one game character whose death made me cry...😢
Anyone that thinks I can't cry never saw me the first time I saw this cutscene and saw the death of my favourite character in the series. True description on there would be Zeratul saves Artanis, and the Protoss, And the Galaxy.
Only two games have remotely impressed me with sound quality.
Halo Wars 2 and this.
It feels like I'm in the movie theater.
I don't remember the next 10 minutes after this.
Except thinking Amon will pay FOR ZERATUL
Best trilogy in cinematic and gaming world ever
