I absolutely love this song, you CAN'T FEEL BAD when listening to it. It's so stupid and fun and awesome. Reaction didn't disappoint, I don't think I've seen you two laugh as much as you have did listening to this. The song is just pure joy.
the more deep lirycs of them all, i find fun that they found a new singer because they wanted a girl who could make screams while singing , very fun track over all
Amazing reaction as always lmao. In some points of the song they use the same rythm as “All I want for christmas is you” because Elphelt birthday is on xmas. After this one I give you two recomendations for the next guilty gear ost reaction video. -The circle (If you want something more in the vein of asuka or ramlethal themes, progresive metal) Or -Just Lean (I think this one is one of the most different themes of the soundtrack. It is a country/metal song and it fucking kick ass) Cheers from Paraguay!
There's a little bit of screams in Smell of the Game and Love the Subhuman self, but this song definitely has way more Btw, if you didnt know, thats because Elphelt is a death metal vocalist ingame. Her band is called "Speothos Vanaticus", presumably because she has some autistic fixation with Bush Dogs.
Just because no one else has mentioned it: there is a REASON for the "rub-a-dub-dub" lyric. This song represents Elphelt symbolically "washing away" the struggles and pain of her past and choosing to move forward by focusing on the positive things, no matter how small - "the little extras of life." I've never had this confirmed, but I think that because Daisuke is Japanese, he's much more comfortable dropping that kind of imagery or word-painting into a song without feeling a need to explain it. Japan has an entire poetic form, the haiku, that is all about condensing powerful, complex emotion into a total of 17 syllables. I think (again, this is my personal theory) that "rub-a-dub-dub" and some of the more oddball lyrics from like "Out of the Box" or "Requiem" are born of a cultural context that Western listeners often just don't have. Anyway, fun video as always. 🤘
looking at it with this perspective helps a lot to put guilty gear songs in more context, as japanese language is really more worried if they can convey emotions and feelings accurately than they are with making sense grammatically from the western point of view where words need all that conection and relation for us to understand what is been talked about
Absolutely love this song. What really vibes with me is the character, Elphelt "Valentine", who uses a gun aka "bullets". An allusion to Bullet For My Valentine. Coincidentally, I feel like that section in 4:09 sounds a lot like the introduction to "Your Betrayal" by BFMV. Which was the first ever song I've heard from them a long, long time ago.
@@thewindmillfullovcorpses Elphelts design (especially in Xrd) also alludes to Guns N' Roses. In Xrd her standing punch attack (which for most characters is exactly what it sounds like) is her throwing a rose at the opponent, and she also has some attacks and taunts that have her holding a whole bouquet of roses. And obviously she's also a gun user, so Guns N' Roses!
Epic reaction as usual! The moment I heard this song, I knew you guys would love it. If you liked the screaming in this one, the closest thing I'd have to that would maybe be Tsuki No Shihai from GG Xrd. It's very thrash, but leans into the kinda screamy stuff a lot more than most other GG songs
after you guys are done with STRIVE i recommend you guys continue on to Guilty Gear XRD because theres some gold there, some of their ost are even regarded as the greatests by the community even after the new recent games, my personal recomendation, start by "Heavy Day" that shi is fire
Elphelt is an artificial human being called a Valentine, and she's Ramlethals sister! You've reacted to Ramlethal already in the past. Contrasting Ramlethals low emotiveness, Elphelt is super bubbly and fangirly and she's obsessed with love and marriage. Their mother, The Universal Will (also known as Ariels), created both of them to assist her in her goal of creating a true humanity according to her own definitions, which involves wiping out what already exists. Elphelt was created with the ability to fuse with a powerful being called Justice in order to give Ariels the power she needs to enact her plan, but Sol and the good guys patched Justice with a Valentine of their own creation (Jack-O) and foiled Ariels' plan. Despite being on opposing sides, both Ram and El grew close to Ky's son, named Sin Kiske, during the course of the story and now they live with the Kiske family as Ky's adoptive daughters, and they both went to work in the government/military. However Elphelt wasn't able to keep up with her work and started feeling super guilty and like a let-down to the people who needed her to be working. So she ran away, in search of an answer, which she found in the form of death metal, and now she's a death metal vocalist with her own band called Speothos Venaticus :D named after the scientific name for bush dogs, because she's really obsessed with those for some reason lol. Elphelt is peak I love her I love her
Daisuke heard Death Metal and he said: "I can do the same thing but with pop metal, grab my beer." Elphelt was indeed bullied a lot but, like, "I am getting bullied and i have to save my sister from certain death" levels of bullying. Once the crisis was over, she kinda has no idea where to go other than trying to find a husband (she is actually an artificial weapon like Ramlethal and Testament). In the end she canonically became a death metal singer idol to be able to find her identity. Apparently this song is supposed to be a song she wants to use in her wedding ceremony.
I respectfully apologize for diluting her struggles damn... does this lore go easy on any of its characters? Also I see a pattern in Guilty Gear where female characters are deadly weapons and I can't deny I have a tendency to agree :))))))))))
Elphelt Is a Valentine just like Ramlethal And Jack-O which makes them sisters. Unlike Ramlethal who is very pragmatic and self-centered Elphelt is cheerful and happy. In Guilty Gear Strive she is a famous death metal singer who writes songs about romance and love. in her arcade mode story she falls in love with Nagoriyuki (The vampire Samurai) And Chases him with a chance to marry him (even if he doesn't agree).
That's one way I could go through Valentine's day hehe, bring on the lovable violence! She seems like quite the catch, what's up with Nagoriyuki not agreeing???
@@thewindmillfullovcorpses she dropped a marriage certificate and Nago picked it up for her and she thinks he's in love with her. I guess arranged weddings aren't his type
Elphelt didn't really get bullied as much as mind controlled in the middle of her wedding to a death metal singer. It's her post mind control actions that had people laughing. Which was to hunt for a husband to love. The annoying thing with the story is they never revisit that death metal singer. Like, Did Elphelt go back and get rejected, is he dead, married to someone else? We don't know.
Always find myself anticipating your little goofy annotations. Cheese grater for a "great" time 😂 Thrash vocals, rub a dub dub, and a dash of Amazing Grace. Not really that outlandish after Happy Chaos and his Disney Princess section. To be fair, once you've encountered Baiken, you can easily become desensitised to Guilty Gear bazongas.
Yeah man, that's sad I used to enjoy bazongas before Baiken... the annotations are here to stay, we're parasiting on this music for content enough as it is, we can at least through in some chuckles! :)
Fun fact!: Molly Daisy Scarpine does the voice of the screamer and the beautiful voice just by herself!!
Congrats to Molly Daisy Scarpine!

Oh totally, the only way to feel bad listening to this is if you acceidentally hit the "mute" button mid "rub-a-dub"
Jumpscare Buckle Up! Lol
Horror movies got nothing on Elphelt hehe!

Just Lean reaction is already recorded and if I'm not mistaken I think we made the country music connection too! Cheers!
At the end is also the melody of Amazing Grace

Not very familiar with BFMV, but I'll take your word for it! But Elphelt is definitely one of the coolest characters so far!

This was a fun one, thanks for sharing it.
Thanks!
So let's just "Buckle Up and Rub-a-Dub-a-Dub Yeah, Yeah!" boys 😂😂😂
Pass-time of champions!
Fun fact: Elphelt is canonically a death metal singer in the game's story.
accurate

Great human as always!!! 🙏🙏🙏

Daisuke is out here convincing people that everyone can enjoy Rock
didn't need convincing, but if I did, this woulda done it!
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE MAD LADS ARE ACTUALLY REACTING TO THISSSS
We may be mad lads but we got nothin on Elphelt, she's more of a mad lad despite not being a lad!!!
Can you react to "Symphony (A.B.A's Theme)"?
It's coming but will be a while. We're slow. /Andrei
