@@FrancisCastiglione tbf, if I saw a machine bounce bullets of a coin and make them hit harder then firing straight at yhe target, I'd start thinking different too.
@@triangulum8869 problem of Hank it's that he didn't got enough character development. He's a pretty new character but didn't got enough screen time to truly shine
I still like Minos the most. He's humble, kind and selfless. He's one of the only major bosses that doesn't get enraged at all, showing his elegance, and actually tries his hardest to beat you rather than trying to save face like Gabriel's first fight.
On that 3rd artwork, its interesting that Gabe’s wings are a mix of blue and yellow. He’s only been shown to have pure blue wings regularly and pure yellow wings when enraged. Saying this because it will probably be his final design in his last fight.
nah its because of the art style of the game. the art style of the cutscenes are much more high poly and drawn by hand in a 2d environment and according to the game the polygonal art style is cannon because V1 renders at low quality for fast processing but because the endings are not from V1's perspective they have more colors and are more high quality in general
This is definitely a turning point for Gabriel… No more council. Just him and his thoughts only. Only his command. Now his only goal and dying wish is to destroy you. Nothing else. Really makes you put into perspective. You are the villain of the game. You have changed Gabriel, and now, the change you made to him will come for revenge. It’s either you kill Gabe, and run out of blood, or you are killed by him, and he dies from the Heavenly curse. God I love Gabe too much I hope it turns out good for him. I wanna give him a hug. The Ultrakill universe is tragic. Nobody wins.
I wouldn’t say V1 is a villain, V1 is merely what’d be considered Neutral in D&D. The difference between Neutral and Evil is that Neutral merely focuses on maintaining one’s self, regardless of good or evil, whereas Evil actively harms others, regardless of whether it maintains the self. V1’s a war machine fueled by blood, and is merely attempting to sustain itself, and if it means slaughtering all of Hell, then so be it.
@@crimson-foxtwitch2581 Evil, in its purest form, is entirely self centered. That is its nature. Anyone who kills (unless truly out of necessity or force), is doing it for themselves one way or the other even if they fail to realize it. All murder is done out of selfishness, so taking lives to sustain your own is murder and therefore evil. I don't really know where that idea of neutrality comes from but I don't think it's correct. Although you would be right in the case of V1 since it is a machine without free will, in a more general sense that isn't necessarily correct.
Bro the council seems weak af lmao, a defeated arch angel literally wiped the floor with the entire authoritarian figure of heaven without having a single scratch
they are manipulators, they have no power, he even started to stutter in fear, knowing full well that there was no god that would save, since there was none to begin with
@@garrettupchurch8840 Yeah, Minos didn't even try to fight Gabe, he tried to reason with him, whereas Sisyphus trained an entire army of insurrectionists by his own hands to violently overthrow heaven's rule over Greed. If Minos was a peacemaker but could still stomp us that hard, I'm concerned about how well Sisyphus will absolutely wipe the floor with us
Yknow, my first introduction to this was during Giannis roleplay stream where he was Gabriel playing act two (for those unaware, Gianni Matragrano is Gabriel's VA and a supreme memelord, he's very present on UA-cam) and he voiced the entire cutscenes, in character, and on the spot. It was beautiful to hear, I'm not going to lie. I love this game and all that's underneath it, and i very much reccomend digging up the stream bc it's super fucking funny
Finished this Act yesterday--and wow, the writing impressed me. I have never felt chills hit me when I read something like this. I love ULTRAKILL so much.
You know something funny? By killing the council, Gabriel follows in the footsteps of both of the prime souls he slayed. When Gabriel killed Minos, he plunged Lust in chaos. But here, it's implied the opposite. Gabriel believes killing the council will allow the remainder of Heaven a new chance. A chance to move on, by their own rules, on their own terms. Like how Minos revolutionized the Lust layer out of the goodness of his heart. As for Sisyphus? Gabriel knows he's already good as dead. God is dead. Everything the council does is pointless. Everything he does for his own good is pointless. Killing the council only seals his fate, but he doesn't care. We're definitely gonna have to fight him one last time, for whatever reason. He might not even have a reason, but he doesn't need one. Just like how Sisyphus knew his rebellion against Heaven was doomed to fail, but he did so anyway, because he lived for the fight. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but intentional or not, it's interesting to think about.
In the end of the second encounter with gabe he says "we will meet again" but then the ending says he'll die in just hours. is this inconsistency or foreshadowing?
Talked about this in a call with others, we came to the conclusion V1's canonical pacing of hell is about as long as it takes for the S time rank in levels, with a small break in between accounting for either minos prime or gabriel's lecture in act I
ok ill try to explain how it went down though im not sure if this is completely accurate scenario 1 im assuming after gabe was given a deadline chances are that V1 already cleared greed layer and after gabe does coup (im unsure) v1 has already reached layer 8 or scenario 2 it took V1 around 11-12 hours to complete 3 layers (act parts)
@@ShankTheSoda ehhh if you are good at the game that can be less then a hour which isn’t a lot of time for the whole plot thing such as Gabriel going back to having banished and setting up a whole organ and V2 getting a new arm.
The same pride that clouded his judgment and made him stay under the council's rule for this long was the same pride that allowed him to quad sweep the angels that banished him down below. My man's not a crybaby, he's just built different.
I imagine gabriel will fight V1 a final time in 9-2, following the pattern established by 3-2 and 6-2. Except that time gabriel will only be fighting V1 for the heck of it and will probably actually end up dying.
act 3 finale: Gabriel: what ?!? werent you dead ?!? *[G O D ]* : my "death" was greatly exaggerated.And you my boy gabriel, you've deserved biggest punishment not even lucifer got
How many had he killed? Had he ever thought to count? How much cruelty did he embody... and to what end? How many did he condemn to hell and who did it benefit..? Two defeats at the hands of the machine had changed Gabriel. The world of the one supposed Will of God was now shattered and only he was left to put the pieces back together. They collected before the light of a dying fire that fresh fuel couldn't sustain, this new light showing the truth to Gabriel: The pieces never fit together to begin with. The supposed Council of "the people" who boasted a God that wasn't there. Gone. Vanished. The Council still chased after the light of God's fire, their memory of its words and will grown twisted and warped, and the rest of the aimless masses of Heaven follow their footsteps. The angels still act in The Father's name but His kingdom has changed. Now the fire was dying, sputtering out as the heat failed to gain purchase. Gabriel looked upon the embers with a perfect clarity. He drew his blade and held it in contrast to the dying light. In its reflection he saw a weapon reborn, no longer wielded by the will of another, but his own. He knew words alone would never sway the masses. He chose to do something drastic. Death stains the auditorium. The littered corpses of the once mighty council now strewn against its surfaces, their last gasps of life dripping down the dissident blade of Gabriel's sword. The last councilor, now backed up to a wall, scrambles for words between panicked breaths as death approaches with measured steps. "W-wait! Y-you can't do this! Our status forbids it! This is treason, heresy, murder! We are the supreme authority, our law commands you! "You command nothing. Your words hold no power over me, or anyone else. Lest you truly believe you can talk my blade back into its sheath." "B-but the people are on our side! The citizens of Heaven know that we are just!" "The masses only follow you out of fear and desperation. I will show them there is nothing to be afraid of, for there is not species nor origin, vested rank or holy status that will stop the sharp edge of a sword. We all bleed the same blood, and the cushions of your thrones have made you weak and impotent." "P-please, Gabriel, see reason! The council follows the will of The Father! You seek to go against our creato-" "Face it, brother. God is Dead. The fire is gone. You're chasing phantoms." Gabriel's silhouette now towers over the councilor, his shadow cast upon a soon lifeless corpse. He raises his sword for the final cut as the crying mess on the floor stammers out its final feeble argument. "B-b-but the Father's light! Without me you cannot hope to reconnect with it! I-i-if you kill me, you'll be dead in a matter of hours!" ... "I know." A clean, silent cut glides through the councilor's neck, severing his spine with elegance and ease. His head falls onto the marble floor, the rest of his body following soon after. Bereft of status but brimming with purpose, Gabriel gave a final message to the angels amassed at the gates of the auditorium before leaving Heaven for the very last time. His arm outstretched, without a word, the people saw. In the silence the message rang out to the far ends of the cosmos.

How many had he killed? Had he ever thought to count? How much cruelty did he embody... and to what end? How many did he condemn to hell and who did it benefit..?
Two defeats at the hands of the machine had changed Gabriel. The world of the one supposed Will of God was now shattered and only he was left to put the pieces back together. They collected before the light of a dying fire that fresh fuel couldn't sustain, this new light showing the truth to Gabriel:
The pieces never fit together to begin with.
The supposed Council of "the people" who boasted a God that wasn't there. Gone. Vanished. The Council still chased after the light of God's fire, their memory of its words and will grown twisted and warped, and the rest of the aimless masses of Heaven follow their footsteps. The angels still act in The Father's name but His kingdom has changed.
Now the fire was dying, sputtering out as the heat failed to gain purchase. Gabriel looked upon the embers with a perfect clarity. He drew his blade and held it in contrast to the dying light.
In its reflection he saw a weapon reborn, no longer wielded by the will of another, but his own. He knew words alone would never sway the masses. He chose to do something drastic.
Death stains the auditorium. The littered corpses of the once mighty council now strewn against its surfaces, their last gasps of life dripping down the dissident blade of Gabriel's sword.
The last councilor, now backed up to a wall, scrambles for words between panicked breaths as death approaches with measured steps.
"W-wait! Y-you can't do this! Our status forbids it! This is treason, heresy, murder! We are the supreme authority, our law commands you!
"You command nothing. Your words hold no power over me, or anyone else. Lest you truly believe you can talk my blade back into its sheath."
"B-but the people are on our side! The citizens of Heaven know that we are just!"
"The masses only follow you out of fear and desperation. I will show them there is nothing to be afraid of, for there is not species nor origin, vested rank or holy status that will stop the sharp edge of a sword.
We all bleed the same blood, and the cushions of your thrones have made you weak and impotent."
"P-please, Gabriel, see reason! The council follows the will of The Father! You seek to go against our creato-"
"Face it, brother. God is Dead. The fire is gone. You're chasing phantoms."
Gabriel's silhouette now towers over the councilor, his shadow cast upon a soon lifeless corpse.
He raises his sword for the final cut as the crying mess on the floor stammers out its final feeble argument.
"B-b-but the Father's light! Without me you cannot hope to reconnect with it! I-i-if you kill me, you'll be dead in a matter of hours!"
...
"I know."
A clean, silent cut glides through the councilor's neck, severing his spine with elegance and ease. His head falls onto the marble floor, the rest of his body following soon after.
Bereft of status but brimming with purpose, Gabriel gave a final message to the angels amassed at the gates of the auditorium before leaving Heaven for the very last time.
His arm outstretched, without a word, the people saw. In the silence the message rang out to the far ends of the cosmos.
Gabriel killed a god? No No No... I can't believe it. NO angel can kill god. Only another god can kill a god
but he didn't kill a god. He killed the government, which is a far more civil service.
