Ji is the family name of Kings in the Zhou Dynasty. The Ji we fight in Nine Sols is most likely based on Ji Chang (or Xi-bo Chang, King Wen of Zhou). Ji Chang is one of the most notable masters of divination, who uses small chips of wood and banboo to fortell the future--the throwing knives he used in the boss fight. He is also known for longevity, living for 100 years and having 100 children, the 4th of them being Zhou Gong, who is likely an inspiration for Eigong. "Ji" the word itself can mean "princess", which might give rise to his juvenile, feminine form when you first meet him. And his epic death scene. That's a full adaptation of Roy Batty's death scene from Blade Runner. No one should miss it.
The original wording of achievement for killing Ji is "Everything reunites in Tao", but in the English version, it becomes "Come, Sweet Death". This is, hilariously, an Neon Genesis Evangelion reference. Search "Komm, Susser Tod" for the song it refers to.
@ According to my limited understanding, ancient Chinese ppl used 3/6/9/100 to refer to different extents of being numerous. Square numbers like 49/81/100 has mystical powers, and 28/36/72/108 has astrological importance corresponded to certain constellations. Numerology in a different context, eh?

The most epic song for such a fun fight. Not the most hard but just enough for you to sit back and enjoy this amazing song. Incredible design all around
I felt so bad for Ji. This fight really felt like a dance, and he deserved a third phase. He was the one to bear a curse, and the least I could do was give him the dramatic end he wanted. He knew death was in store. He knew that everything he swore to protect would be destroyed in the end. And yet, he never gave up, and he waited until the right moment to have his perfect end. Ji deserved more
3rd phase would have been wicked but man such a great design overall. Such a good ost behind this boss fight. The fight itself fairly easy compared to others but just enough of difficulty to keep you in your toes but also appreciate the music behind it. Truly one of the best fights I’ve ever had
At first it sounds like a ruthless blizzard, sounded by the thunder. Gradually, it calms, starting to be more ordered, tranquil. And then, at 1:07... All i can think of is beatiful sunset, emerging from the dissipating clouds, lightening them and the wery top of the mountain, where two warriors dueling in the golden rays of setting sun... I haven't play the game by the way.
I used a charged attack build with qi blast technique on that boss, and god damn, was it such an anime battle! I absolutely loved this boss, not very hard, yet just enough challenge to enjoy. Incredible.
theyre called 護甲套 (or 護指、金驅) Nails protectors literally, in history they are mainly used by ladys and ma'ams from rich family or aristocracy, who usually don't have to do labor or course, to protect their long finger nails. the exquisite nails protectors are made from gold or silver, decorated with jades, jewelry, pearls, engraving with lucky symbols, and they are also a way to show one's statue, especially in places like emperor's harem. It's a myth that some women used their nails protectors to hide poison for assassinating or ending their own 1ife in extreme situations, or use sharp protectors as self defense weapons, and these extend to literals and become a kind of melee weapons in some fantasy tales.

@@BS-ru6lp Oh my God, as an Evangelion fan, I feel ashamed for not noticing that
Living for 100 years and having 100 children? Damn Ji…
What if many solarians were actually descendants from Ji lol
What's the deal with Chinese mythology and being obsessed with weirdly specific numbers?

i can hear heartbeat in this song, which is disappearing at the end
Fuck now I hear it too after listening to it again
guys that's just the bassdrum of the 90s breakbeat with a fadeout at the end of the track lol..
@@juunjuubeiWe didn't think it was a recording of an actual heartbeat

developer said that Ji was originally conceived thid phase , but they can't finish it with rest money.
I wish to see it in boss rush mode.

@@yuchenlin3407this game needs a boss rush mode. So many enjoyable boss fights 👏
@@caleob9725 would have to agree with all of that
Please no...

SUCH A BANGER
Oh my god, Sol Ji os my favorite!
I love how this feels like a final battle track, because it is Ji's final battle, and he knew it for millenia
Yo buddy, I gotta thank you for putting the soundtrack on yt
but you gotta have the composers in the video descriptions or something
I'm sorry for this but:
Immortal Femboy vs Resurrecting Twink
so true tho...
true...
Completely idiotic. Do not bring your filth into the Nine Sols universe.
I used a charged attack build with qi blast technique on that boss, and god damn, was it such an anime battle! I absolutely loved this boss, not very hard, yet just enough challenge to enjoy. Incredible.
Twink obliteration theme!
😭😭
I've heard of "twinkdeath" but this is ridiculous!
twink on twink violence
I like how the beat sounds like a beating heart
It's a serious and melancholic theme, because all Ji really wanted was his final curtain call.
Immortality is a curse, never a blessing.
For some, it is indeed a curse. But for a special few with a unique perspective…immortality is a blessing
Goated Game
Idky this gives me big madoka magica Surgam identidem vibes and I love it
hmm the middle section and onward can fit in an ace combat game
can you upload the peach blossom village fight theme pretty pls
The name of that battle theme would be Last Man Standing. Hope that helps you find it.
if only there was an extended version
Those who accept the Tao needn't seek immortality. Harmony avoids such things. Ji's final words reflect that wisdom, "all is one in the Tao".
This is awesome, thanks! But could you pack them NS songs in a playlist please?
Are the pointy finger tips based on anything real because I love them.
Those usually are accessories for the noble women in medivial china if i remembered right

It kinda reminds me of the Astrum Deus theme from Calamity.
how theme after his death is called?
