"...That when good men look away, evil prevails." They did a pretty good job of giving us insight into the characters in a game with such ambiguous story telling.
His back-&-forth tests the Rider by making him question how many 'sons & daughters will it take for Rider to be 'Free' ?' The Hand was someone's son. He's Cyberneticaly Augmented King Arthur, President-King of the Invaded Planet (?) & the 1 to defeat Rider the 1st time he was Imprisoned inside the Labyrinth Prison. The Guru & the Architect/Narrator came up with the plan to convince Rider to stay with the Song. Arthur was my favorite boss but The Beat _ALWAYS_ makes me feel like you just killed a young human/puppy that was less then 0% threat to you. & then: *EVERYTHING ELSE!* ❤️🔥 _THIS GAME!_
You notice how when the Stranger walks away, he walks faster than how he walked in. I feel like he knew that he has just murdered the father in front of his innocent son, who the father was fighting for.
10:23 Here is when I began to feel bad for this poor man. And I could empathize because both ingame and in your control you can feel the despair that is going through the hand, seeing that there is no way to defeat you, the guy delivers all his anger and hopes in his final attacks, tired and without possibility to counterattack, here I realized that I was the villain
Reminds me of a scene in Afro Samurai: Resurrection, where Afro kills a dude to get the number two headband back, and ends up orphaning the guy's kid as well.
"You can't win... You're alone..." If you recall the Voice's story, the Hand only managed to capture you the first time because he had an army with him. He's talking to himself here, because he realizes that this time, he's going to lose.
No. The Hand is talking to the Stranger who he believes is alone and fighting for nothing. He, on the other hand, has his family and home very close by. He has all the motivation in the world to fight as hard as possible to prevent this planet destroyer (or scout for a planet destroying army) from escaping his prison and snuffing out everything he values in his life. Your explanation is a decent interpretation but none of it is supported by all the visuals and dialogue in the fight about how he's fighting for something greater (family) and not just himself. Now my guess at the background story: an army of 100 at his back made little difference and it was his own drive to protect his loved ones that pushed him to defeat the Stranger the first time around. As designer of the prison, I believe the Voice put the Hand's son in there with him as a cold and calculated move to both motivate him and incentivize him not to lose.
@@JackOfSomeTrades29 What you're suggesting -- that he's talking to himself and saying he can't win -- is completely out of character with the self assured person who repeatedly gestures to the Stranger and tells him he cannot win for various reasons. Your theory is not one I've read about anywhere because it's not supported by anything that happens in the fight. Here is the dialogue in the fight: "I am fighting for something much greater than this. Can you imagine the strength that gives me? I doubt it. And so your fight ends here." (too much at stake, he will win) "I brought you to your knees once already. And I will do so again." (*The Hand* defeated him, not anyone else, and believes confidently he can do it again) "You're no match for me. Give up while you can." ( he implies here he defeated him rather easily before) "...when good men look away, evil prevails." (ties into his greater purpose message: can't lose, won't lose) "For my son, for all of us. I am bringing you back." (again, his message of i will/must win) "Surrender. You can't win." (while pointing his sword at the Stranger) "We built all of this. We prepared, invested so much." (there's no quit in him) "You can't win, Stranger. You have nothing to protect. Nothing to fight for." (again, he's addressing the Stranger insaying he can't win. The Hand is not talking to himself) "I will never give up, Stranger. The stakes are too high." (another line that lends no support to your claim he doubts himself) "You can't win... you're alone" (as he says this, he literally gestures right at the Stranger and initiates his most vicious and powerful barrage of attacks. Contrary to your claim, his armor is still powered up until the last blow of the fight. Look again carefully.) This is a good game with a nice twist that you're the actual villain but otherwise pretty straightforward bosses with clear motivations and themes in why they're fighting or why they were put in the prison to fight you. The actual depth of the story is in the theories that the Voice possibly designed this prison not to hold the Stranger, but to show him all aspects of humanity and reflections of the Stranger himself in order to sway him from his original programming of invasion/destruction and fight for good. Why can't they hold him forever? It's strongly implied that the Stranger is indestructible so it's simply only a matter of time. There's also the possibility that he learns, adapts and gets stronger after losses and victories, just like the player holding the controller, hence the prison/video game challenge will not hold for long. We also know he's part of a larger collective that invades planets, possibly as a scout, so holding him indefinitely is pointless if another Rider or an entire army will come, especially after noticing he's been gone for too long.
At first I was like :"YES, He got a shield, that will help him greatly against this lighting fast offensive ennemy *drop the shield midfight* WTF ARE YOU DOING ?! YOU MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO PROTECT BUT DON'T ANYTHING TO PROTECT YOU ANYMORE."
Adrien lovéra It has meaning. Think about it. There is a killing machine that wants to escape the prison you have put him into and he kicked your ass (for 3 stages). The hand doesnt care about his life anymore. He has to take you down, no matter what. This and his ultra combo in the last melee phase rapresent him getting desperate to take you down. Unfortunately his determination wasnt enough.
When i first tried this fight my first action was to load a fckin fully charged shot into him. It reflected back faster than i could react and left me at half a bar HP :D
People who have a fighting game playstyle of keeping people just out of arms reach and punishing hasty players (NOT zoners) will struggle the most in this fight, due to the fact that you cannot use your gun to space and that he controls where you walk a lot of the time taking you out of your drivers seat
Okay so I know the story in this is t really meant to be analyzed but.. Why the fuck does this guy get to have his son with him but the Architect can’t have his daughter with him? It the whole reason he ends up helping us escape in the first place
I thought the same. I can only conclude that bunny man originally wanted his daughter to have a life on earth instead of in the prison forever lmao. But what happens to the hands kid? Is he just trapped up there now? Wtf lll
I've read a couple of theories that the Voice never designed the prison to permanently imprison the Stranger, having come to the realization that it was impossible, or pointless if he was simply a scout for a larger army invading in the future. Instead the prison's various areas and occupants are meant to represent aspects of both humanity and the Stranger, all working to influence him so he'll abandon his original destructive programming and fight on their side.
I never understanded why he bringed his son with him in this damn prison, if he's pretending to be a good person/father why he trapped his son there instead of letting him to live on Earth a normal human life, also keeping him closer to the danger instead of keeping him AWAY from this danger?
Oh man I thought he was soooo hard, but in the end you just have to be careful with 2 or 3 attacks and be a master parrier in the last phase. Ez pz. Just like the line, first try, omg impossible, second run, first attempt, dead, ez
TheYuriG haha dude omg can’t believe my comment is 2 years old. Yeah I finished the game a while ago and it had an amazing twist. Well guess the kid doesn’t matter anymore lol
Buttered Funnybiscuit this guy is sad Reinhardt, the time guy was evil time zenyatta, the flying lady is angry mercy, the aquatic guy is bioshock reaper
Yeah, he's my favorite boss in terms of theme and aesthetics, but he just doesn't stand any chance. Especially since he comes right after The Edge, which is a way harder boss, especially on Furier.
Just remember that the parry indicator tells you that the following attack CAN be parried, not WHEN you should hit the parry button. This video isn't a great example, but if you parry his whole combos, he has a bigger opening for a counter attack. With his shield, he's only susceptible to gunfire when he's using AoE attacks. The fight gets a lot easier when he throws his shield aside because you can constantly pepper him with gunfire, but just watch out for that delayed 3rd hit in his combo.
Last Noobn I like its speeches. I just hate when they get cancelled or if certain lines repeat to close to each other. The system in which they get triggered is bad in my opinion.

"...That when good men look away, evil prevails."
They did a pretty good job of giving us insight into the characters in a game with such ambiguous story telling.
I know this is an old comment but of my favorite quotes that is the one from the Hand.
Also, "He who knows no fear, knows no courage." ... implying that The Hand is afraid of The Stranger.
Yeah and he is pretty brave honestly. He’s like the gentleman of the prison guards. It’s sad cause his son was right there pretty much.
His back-&-forth tests the Rider by making him question how many 'sons & daughters will it take for Rider to be 'Free' ?'
The Hand was someone's son.
He's Cyberneticaly Augmented King Arthur, President-King of the Invaded Planet (?) & the 1 to defeat Rider the 1st time he was Imprisoned inside the Labyrinth Prison.

This guy is basically a shounen protagonist after a decade.
He reminds me of(Saber) Artoria Pendragon from Fate... Like he uses his sword as a laser beam at the end
Very accurate.
"Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight."
Wtf thats a magic quote. Black knight right?
Verbatim Yes

Out of all the "desperation phases" in this game, this is one of the few that actually feels like your opponent is getting desperate.
I love how the Voice at the beginning keeps on trying to rouse anger in yourself so you don't feel bad killing him.
I guess it worked cause I didn’t feel a thing besides victory.
I know this whole game is inspired by Afro Samurai. But man this boss is REALLY Afro Samurai.
Really afro samurai b0ss is edge imho
Reminds me of a scene in Afro Samurai: Resurrection, where Afro kills a dude to get the number two headband back, and ends up orphaning the guy's kid as well.
I don't know if it's inspired by it I'm pretty sure it's just because they got the same set director
The creator of Afro Samurai help to make the designs of the characters in Furi xD
The Stranger is Justice. The Hand is Afro's father. The son is Afro.
"You can't win... You're alone..."

@@megalon84 100% agree.
"You're no match for me"
*Gets his ass kicked immediately after*
After the fucking Scale battle this is like a breath of fresh air
I hated the scale, but i always loved this fight
If there's a Furi sequel, they should make that kid a boss or playable character
man why do you want to murder a child
You killed the father and also want to kill the kid
@@Adolin.Kholin. well you don't just separate family
@@gentlerabbit6852 f them kids
The sequel is Afro Samurai since Rider is pretty much ancient alien afro lol
I swear, that almost sounded like Sean Bean was voicing him in his first couple lines you hear.
That poor kid ;-;

I loved this fight, this fight i purposefully NEVER used my gun
Not like you can, he just reflects the bullets back.
@@eyjay1508 you can just in short windows when he doesnt have the shield up
When i first tried this fight my first action was to load a fckin fully charged shot into him.
It reflected back faster than i could react and left me at half a bar HP :D
Am I the only one you thought this boss was challenging and had some pretty cool dialogue...cuz I feel like it
Beyond The Yeet ngl, this was the easiest boss of the game after the last one chief
Hey if it makes you feel any better this was the hardest for me
People who have a fighting game playstyle of keeping people just out of arms reach and punishing hasty players (NOT zoners) will struggle the most in this fight, due to the fact that you cannot use your gun to space and that he controls where you walk a lot of the time taking you out of your drivers seat
He becomes one of the hardest bosses in the game on Furier though.
For me its the best boss with the coolest desperation phase
This Boss was easier than 3 and 4
Fr
But was also fun
Man, this game has so great mechanics and bosses. I would like to see new game with 20 bosses.
Or just more hack and slash action with more dynamic music and an afro samurai costume for rider.
When he does this force field in his first phase you can inflict a crit
for some reason turned out to be the easiest boss in my book
The Song and the Hand were the easiest bosses for me
The Beat doesn't count
This is fine, but fuck I struggled on the last phase lol
I swear the boss looks like the Demoman from TF2 in the thumbnail.
Okay so I know the story in this is t really meant to be analyzed but..
Why the fuck does this guy get to have his son with him but the Architect can’t have his daughter with him?
It the whole reason he ends up helping us escape in the first place
Angelo Abbatiello
Maybe because he helped rider?
I thought the same. I can only conclude that bunny man originally wanted his daughter to have a life on earth instead of in the prison forever lmao.
But what happens to the hands kid? Is he just trapped up there now? Wtf lll

Just beat this guy, easiest boss so far. took one try.
you can literally beat that last phase with your eyes closed, just listen for the parry sound.
how can u hear the parry sounds?
+Ryu HayabusaUDN with ur ears
Lol but timing is soo hard
I actually found this guy quite challenging, but in a fun way. Not too hard, not too easy, but this could jut be me, I'm not very good at this game.
Easiest boss is the strap
I never understanded why he bringed his son with him in this damn prison, if he's pretending to be a good person/father why he trapped his son there instead of letting him to live on Earth a normal human life, also keeping him closer to the danger instead of keeping him AWAY from this danger?
Why does The Wall's voice reminds me of Deathstroke? It makes me root for him!
But he has horns in his head and he looks like a Viking
His name is The Hand i recall.
There is i think no one called The Wall.
You mean the hand?
Guys,I'm pretty sure in the concept he was called The Wall. The Beat was called The Horn and The Chain was called The Law if I remember correctly.
5:11
This is a Overconfident Weeb(Blue) vs a Guy who’s had professional experience with weapons(Green), or what it would be like.

this is the best boss in the game
"The Hand"
Me: 🅱️🅱️🅱️🅱️🅱️🅱️🅱️🅱️🅱️🅱️
I just beat this boss and I’m wondering is there any way I can save the kid or find him?
if only you knew you were about to destroy the entire planet when you made this comment lol

Reinhardt

where is beat isn't she mei lol?
^ Wauw.. these guys are special
The only guy I've beaten on my first try both on Furi and Furier. Cool fight tho

Easily hardest boss in the game for me coz last phase
@@bryantgouveia shoot charged bullets at him to prevent his laser and shockwave attacks. Easy af. takes about 3-4 hits.

why are you horrible????
I hated this boss
2nd to comment 😁
Dumbest speeches in video game history, lol.
They are dumb when they repeat themself in the worst ways possible or get interrupted.
Otherwise his speeches are pretty intense.
Dark Fishking I'm just speaking in general. The game tries to be serious, but falls flat.
Last Noobn I like its speeches.
I just hate when they get cancelled or if certain lines repeat to close to each other.
The system in which they get triggered is bad in my opinion.
Deliberately so, especially here.
He's a knight. He speaks as a knight would - a man stuck in the age of yore, fighting a battle of good vs. evil.
Last Noobn
Well sure, but it's adhering to the theme of the character, that's the reason he speaks like that.
Yeah this guy is just lame.
