Pretty sure the collection is based off of chinese mythology, notably the immortal monkey Sunwukong and his magical staff that can be shrunk or enlarged to any size at will And yes the reload is magical since the gun barrels are made of the staff and canonically he can control it telepathically
Don't know if you mentioned which battlepass skin line that had similar aesthetic and variant names but it was Starlit Odyssey! One of my favorite battlepass skins. This bundle is definitely gonna be one of my faves as well with the finisher, the staff and the pleasing variants. Been a while since there has been a skin line where I have liked all variants somewhat equally! Really happy about this bundle :3
the set does have those "ronin vibes", but it's themed off of a Chinese mythological story revolving around 孙悟空 (song wu kong), the monkey king (he's more god than king tho he's like pretty powerful). In all the tellings I have heard, he wields a staff (just like the one in game) that can extend infinitely, something we see in the pull out animation, we also see his powers in action in the finisher animations of the collection. he also comes from (if I remember correctly, its been a while I was told these stories as a kid lol) a monkey village(?) in the mountains, which we also see in the skins. for me, where these stories are kinda nostalgic and bring back good memories, this bundle is amazing (as well as the skin quality), but distinctly take inspiration from Chinese mythology as opposed to the ronin of Japan :) this release of this is also timed with ISO's (a Chinese agent), also note china had its official val release only a few months ago, so I feel this (and maybe imperium) were some of the first bundles china (officially) had access to, and so were designed and produced with them in mind essay over idk I'm in the bus and I'm bored edit: oh yeah he also can change size and shit, which could also explain like the barrel of the ghost just like coming from no where and stuff, idk maybe another reference
I'm lowkey getting Monkey King flashbacks. A lil nostalgic there. The sounds on the skins are amazing and unique in general. Good color variants overall. The rly like the reload animations. When you shuck the safety of the guns it sort of feels like the hand motions you perform on the reaver odin ish. Idk but any good presentation as usual. Thanks for the early insight :)
hey urnotjustin, not sure if u noticed but all the guns haev the staff implemented into them! as you can see with the op most clearly, the barrel and the chamber along the gun is actually just the staff, same with all the guns
would love to see skin reviews checking out how skins look on low material settings also, Some skins have a massive difference between material settings and i feel 95% of players are using low material settings for the best game clarity
this is a myth weapon it is called the jing-gu-bang, which is from a china story line called the xi-you-ji and it is the weapon of a legend called the monkey king or sun-wu-kong. not naruto bro
This collection is more art than gun. Its one of those things that are literally amazing, but are so good that they sort of lose the original identity. Look at the Protocol 781-A collection. Its flashy, its got new animations, its even got new voices. But fundamentally you're holding a gun. With the Valiant Hero collection, its like I'm holding a piece of living art. It doesn't feel like a gun. It feels like a painting taped onto a gun. When I shoot it has no relation to the painting at all. I feel like I appreciate this collection more when I'm staring at it in the Store than actually holding them in-game. The only exception is the Ruyi Staff, which looks incredible in-game, mostly due to its entirely new and fitting animations wholly supporting its intended fantasy within the game itself.
Is it me or has the new skin bundles got better in order? Like first we had the integrade which is 875 then the Orion that’s 1275 and then the valiant hero which is 1775, next maybe exclusive? (2175)
I just love the concept of this new bundle, and the sounds of that is absolutely top notch, make me wanna spend but the more I watch your vids the more I realize I'm broke
The sandswept dagger looks like one of the new best budget knives in the game, so clan and has subtle animation too. Honestly didn’t think it would also get variants, but riot saved us and did it.thank god cuz the base color scheme is ugly asf
urnotjustin pls help me decide my first knife skin choice as u have every skim in the game so what should i pick reaver karambit or the new wukong staff
These skins are amazing For 1775 VP they have so much attention to detail, gorgeous variants and reload animations with a twist Though I'm not agreeing to the hate train some previous collections are receiving All skins are great in this game, Riot team never fails when it comes to skins, they're always beautiful
I don't think the new bundle will be preferred because its knife covers too much of the screen. Apart from the knife, I only liked the ghost because of the effect of its silencer, and the first two color options (red, orange ones) are very similar to each other.
Guys i need ur help! is there any way a bundle can be refunded😭? I was so hyped for this bundle's launch and i had some vp saved up, i was away from home so i told my brother to buy the bundle as soon as it comes out, he thought i meant the orion bundle and he bought and used it for a match and now i cant refund it😭 i really cant afford to buy vp due to my countries currency rates, what do i do? does someone know a riot dev 😭?
I WAS WAITING FOR A VIDEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
btw, please please please please pretty please!!!!!!!!!!!!! when you get the chance, if you even notice me, with a new battle pass, can you do a purple collection? Battlepass is just amazing how it looks, please do a combo with that!
Okay, now they... just... have to make a double sided lightsaber with that draw and "inspect" animation. Just call it... "Dual-Laser...sword" or something to not get sued by disney. Id pay spectrum-price for a double lightsaber in Valorant xD
I dont want to feel like a let down, but personaly, I think the knife is to big taking up half the screen and personally I'm not a fan of the guns either, the reload animation in clean tho i gotta say.
I am thinking about only coping ghost, I dont like that melee, that vandal is nice but I got imperium last time and I still like it a lot, they are kinda similar in the vibe they give, imperium has much better finnisher, about the bullet sound I dont know what is better, variants are much better on valiant hero though
It's the monkey king theme so, he can control his stick with psychic power like moving or calling it and every skin have that stick in it as nossel so he reload it with his power.

As a Chinese, that pronunciation of the 如意staff was on point
now if only i could say Iso right haha :D
bro this man said the staff was fricking sarutobi's staff from naruto 😭 bro chose violence by saying sun wu kong's staff was that 💀😭
@@cryofw yeah but I dont blame him cuz like only chinese people know chinese mythology lol, i grew up watching 西游记
fr fr monkey king goated@@acrooo

exactly what i was talking about was starlit haha :D thanks for remembering the name
@@urnotjustin No worries~
the vandal looks more like aristocrat ngl
@@FPSkazuto Ah I did think so too as well! The shape has Aristocrat feel
To me it kinda looks like Lucan’s bane battle pass skin

???????
@avalanche Yeah, exactly that, very well put.
Is it not pronounced “eye-so” like isolating or like 1v1 in basketball?
Is it me or has the new skin bundles got better in order? Like first we had the integrade which is 875 then the Orion that’s 1275 and then the valiant hero which is 1775, next maybe exclusive? (2175)
yo this no noruto this the monkey king staff its a movie
I don't meen to be petty but his name is "Iso" as in isolation
im pretty sure the ghost doesn't have drums because it's a silenced weapon
makes sense to me
I just love the concept of this new bundle, and the sounds of that is absolutely top notch, make me wanna spend but the more I watch your vids the more I realize I'm broke
idk if you knew but the barrels of the gun are the staff
Nice video! although u forgot to show the sherif variants
It's not naruto's theme vs orochimaru dude... it's literally chinese parade whenever you see a festival with lion dance smh
thats wukong right there haahahaha
For 1775 its okay I guess. Nowhere near Prime or Reaver, but its fine. The new skins all look generic anyway.
The sandswept dagger looks like one of the new best budget knives in the game, so clan and has subtle animation too. Honestly didn’t think it would also get variants, but riot saved us and did it.thank god cuz the base color scheme is ugly asf
feel like the staff is in the wrong hand position
urnotjustin
pls help me decide my first knife skin choice as u have every skim in the game so what should i pick
reaver karambit or the new wukong staff
ayyyyy man, u didn't show the marshal :((((((
I'd have found it better if it was an odin not an ares because of gaias 2.0 before
and I want a skin for my odin
My boy cant say "Iso" correctly...Its ISOlation.
this bp is actually so good wtf
I love how u say Iso lol
These skins are amazing
For 1775 VP they have so much attention to detail, gorgeous variants and reload animations with a twist
Though I'm not agreeing to the hate train some previous collections are receiving
All skins are great in this game, Riot team never fails when it comes to skins, they're always beautiful
Buy the whole bundle you poor nub
It seems like you forget Orion bundle being a big disappointment. It could have been a sick bundle with upgrades
@@edmond3933 It is still a sick bundle
Yall are overemphasizing on upgrades
I don't need upgrades to appreciate cool design
I cant wait for itttttttt >_
The stick gives wukong vibes
Copping anything with sun wukong in it
Relode is like Reaver in Parallel Universe 😅
Naa they are drums of libration
I don't vibe with any of these skins (only the melee appealed to me, everything else kinda.. 👎)
Can you do full version of melee song
I might :) if i do it will be youtube short
@@urnotjustin thanks looking forward to it
Saving my money once again , riot seems to always disappoint with their recent bundle creations....
the bundle is sick fum
Chinese oni?!
You mean I So but ok
the blade is so big
yea cuz its a staff
cheaper better immperium
nice
naruto 😭
W vid
Rgx blade vibes sick asf
Knife carried the skin bundle
to me it just looks like a rip off of the oni skins
E-sow 😂
huuuuge
Sup
out of all valorant skins with finishers, this is the very worst one. actually terrible
wukong bundle lol
first
EEESO...
I don't think the new bundle will be preferred because its knife covers too much of the screen. Apart from the knife, I only liked the ghost because of the effect of its silencer, and the first two color options (red, orange ones) are very similar to each other.
Same
First
I always wait for your review of the most recent bundles because you are one of only a few cc who review every detail, appreciated like always.👍
He did not just call him, “eeso”
It’s EYE-so
Like, idk, maybe his ult, with ISOlates people
Or ISOpropyl alcohol 😂
Not “eeso”
Like an iso in ball
bro shut up lmao
It’s not eeso it’s iso😂
Guys i need ur help! is there any way a bundle can be refunded😭?

Pls make an Kuronami Collection video
are we gonna see more agent based collections again soon??
idk, a lot of others do themes now :D
Can you make a video about early access acounts? Its quite interesting too see.
Next video i will yes :)
@@urnotjustin thank you so much🙃
has purple variant, worth it
Am I the only one that thinks the vandal pullout looks like stretched res
the black variant looks like the black variant of starlight oddessy which was a W battle pass skin
FOR AN ENTIRE 3 DAYS I THOUGHT THIS SKIN BUNDLE SPELT “VALORANT HERO BUNDLE” 😅
Yeah its a little silly of a name tbh
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID HIS NAME RIGHT
No he didn’t it’s Iso as in isolate not eso
@@ButterScootch no he is saying it iso but everyone is saying aiso(wrong one)
These are insane for premium skins
i feel like the staff is WAY too big in the character's hands, it just covers so much of the screen it might be a disadvantage when playing
Dont have your melee out when you need to see🗣️
@@AROTA7Xwhat about jump peaking!?!?
yeah im not too hype about the knife
@@AROTA7X there are many reasons why you'd have your melee out when you need to see
@@Criscuitt but staff
I love your videos and contant 🎉
Love you bro from India 🇮🇳 ❤
Does anyone hear a small flute in ghost skin inspection sound?
who the hell is eesoh
Gun pull out is hard as a stick mid
How much does the knife cost?
this battlepass is actually worth it
Definitely dagger goes ham
imma call the kill contranct domain expansion
Pls buy me a skin
son wukong bundle
Best skin pack, but I miss them (
I bought vandle 7 months ago and i love it.
I think the ghost didn't have drums in the inspect cause of the variant might have diff sounds for diff variants
I WAS WAITING FOR A VIDEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
btw, please please please please pretty please!!!!!!!!!!!!! when you get the chance, if you even notice me, with a new battle pass, can you do a purple collection? Battlepass is just amazing how it looks, please do a combo with that!
maybe i try to :)
@@urnotjustin Omg, I'm so happy, thank you do much for noticing me
Okay, now they... just... have to make a double sided lightsaber with that draw and "inspect" animation. Just call it... "Dual-Laser...sword" or something to not get sued by disney. Id pay spectrum-price for a double lightsaber in Valorant xD

riot going full chinese with everything, as a chinese I had an actaul stroke tryna figure out why that staff was in the gun when it got leaked
using air current to pull the lever.... noice.... monkey king theme re-defined, I guess.
The 'hidden gems' of player magically pulling the levers doesn't fit the theme of these skins for me
And I think these skins can come into the night market😮
Yeah the problem is that it will only arrive after 3 months, so therefore meaning the next act after this one...
I am thinking about only coping ghost, I dont like that melee, that vandal is nice but I got imperium last time and I still like it a lot, they are kinda similar in the vibe they give, imperium has much better finnisher, about the bullet sound I dont know what is better, variants are much better on valiant hero though
The ghost doesn't have drums cause it is supressed so drums are like not stealthy
I’m joining the live after this vid!
Riot did amazing with this update and new skins showing that valorant isn’t dead yet😂😂
It's the monkey king theme so, he can control his stick with psychic power like moving or calling it and every skin have that stick in it as nossel so he reload it with his power.
We need an chamber Themed inventory plz
Finishers?
9:15
the whole thing reminds me so much of avatar esp aang with the wind animation for the reload... and i dig that a lot.
Thanks for another good video 💯
im so early but I love all your videos ❤️❤️
