"Luck is for little children opening trading cards packs!"
Bandit Keith - sorry, Bandit Chief, voiced by Little Kuriboh, the creator of Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged...
In America.
@@Jynx316 and his second in command is like the hair guy but without the voice and different hair style XD
Wait a minute, did you just make two ygotas references in three comments?
@@daelen.cclark yeah, so?
strubbery g
That’s against the rules isn’t it?
Linkara NAILED the brief moment of confusion after the fight with Empyra. It goes by in an instant, but you can feel the vibe of "I'm not used to my opponents being good sports in defeat." Seeing as, before now, the majority of his foes have been deadly threats or Dr. Insano the world's biggest sore loser.
Merry Christmas from someone who just saw the finale. Starting this now proper
I like how in some shots of Jason beating the snot out of Freddy, you can see Lewis struggling to not break character by laughter in the background........then again, story wise, it could be Linkara taking amusement
Wait... Bandit Chief... he seems to be known for using tricks, traps, and maybe even cheating... And he’s voiced by LittleKuriboh, who is British while Linkara is American, meaning LittleKuriboh is voicing a character........ in America....... ITS BANDIT KEITH!!!!!!!!
If/When Linkara has to fight him, it better be a certain children’s card game... XP
@@ADHDListComedian IN AMERICA!
No have it ba tea drinking contest
*gasp*
@@tmftmftmftmf4024 no. that is cliche
I'm personally disappointed that we'll never get an Ace Corgi: Attorney at Paw fight...
maybe he'll be nice and do a awards ceremony kind of thing were he shows some of the competitors. but it's still going to be interesting when he faces Piolo
Sam McGuire Same!
Meh, there's such a thing as pushing the joke too far. I'm perfectly happy without it.
Matt Harvey I mean I was mostly just joking. I still kinda want to see how he fought
Matt Harvey OBJECTION!
No, wait... you have a point...
Pilo actually got credits at the end of the video. That is just too hilarious for words.
22:19 In this shot, I believe Ninja Style Dancer discovers Pilo's dossier and can't believe what he's read.
I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up, but I think the actor for pilo might win an award for his performance.
Diane VanHoozer it’s just a pilo rocks.
“Academy Award Nominee” River Rocks
Maybe it's Taika Waititi!
Rock solid performance 😎
@@ZION73082 🤣
I think the image of 90's kid in the mental world could be a representation of one of these things.
1. Linkaras own conscious trying to help him get back to his former ways, especially with the crap that happened in the sleepwalker arc, and takes the form of 90's kid because hes the one that he's had issues with in the sleepwalker arc with his team up with vyce and felt guilty about his rage at him or cause in the end he realized what 90's kid did was for the best for linkara. it also makes sense cause with the two talking it did almost sound like linkara was talking to himself, that or takes up 90's kids look cause in a way is an opposite to linkara.
2. A possible remnant projection of the entity trying to help linkara. yes the entity was a major enemy to linkara, but at the same time the being was an outer god, something beyond good and evil and while it's shown it's more "evil" side the mental projection is it showing its "good" side, helping linkara out after linkara helped it confront it's fear of the "game" ending. it takes the form of 90's kid because he was the first one the entity took over.
too far fetched???
Nah I love this interpretation
Looking back on this I really love how well Will portrays Skarn, not to mention some of the dialogue he's given
"It will be convenient for you to go to your bed to WEEP when I'm victorious"
Dude's an amazing actor.
Really hoping "Jenny Everywhere" gets to be a character we see on screen. That is a sick super hero name.
Jenny Everywhere is actually a public domain character that originated on some forum or other, I don't know where. Point is, Linkara did not actually create her.
She's actually an OC who's generally free to use in other people's work, so long as you don't do things her creator doesn't like.
Sounds like Billy Numerous.
“It’s a pile of rocks!”
Somehow, I feel like he's gonna be the winner of all of this.
Ian Brennan dude, it’s a pile of rocks.
@@TheScribe1.0, HOW IN JEFF GOLDBLUM DOES A PILE OF ROCKS PARTICIPATE IN A CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Maybe it secretly turns into a rock Golem or better yet maybe has psychic powers
@@tykamen5588...that's a good theory.
Tournament arcs are amazing. I harshly disagree with Bennett The Sage on them. Even if for one off appearance, this is a solid way to showcase someone's creative skills on populating their world, universe (or in this case, Multiverse), with a ton of unique characters and funny quirks.
And Linkara is so far checking a lot of positive boxes on what he is doing right with his Tourney.
vcom741 Well
Bennett also claimed that Superman and Spider-Man shouldn't be in relationships because it somehow works against being a hero
So I'm more inclined to take what he says with a grain of salt
@@gigangreg7837 eh. People'll have the tropes they like and dislike
vcom741 idk it felt less like hating a trope and more like "why does this character have personal connections smh"
Plus knowing Linkara he would have his opponents reappear later down the lines
vcom741 oh hey someone else watches anime abandon. Yeah I kind of agree with bennet, but mainly when a tournament seems forced in comparison to what's happened in the series, the biggest one that bugs me is the dark tournament in Yuyu hakusho. Yeah I know we've seen other tournaments in the series and that with the dark tournament we get some memorable characters, my favorite being Jin, but for some reason the dark tournament to me just seems forced within the series. Other tournament arcs though, such as the one in my hero academia, I'm alright with since it doesn't seem as forced and have better reasons to have a tournament, plus it's not just a tournament that happens and other stuff build up to it that work in the respective series world, again, my hero academia being an example.
So this is never going to happen but I would love one of Linkara's contests to be a Yu-gi-oh duel XD It would give him a chance to sport that awesome Obelisk Blue coat again XD
But which rule are we using?
I'm assuming GX one, because master rule 4 and 5 make my brain hurt
Could happen against the Bandit Chief XD
I agree. It would be nice to have a yugioh duel as one of the contests.
"The contest is simple....A CHILDREN'S CARD GAME!!!! we start with 8000 life points, and whoever reaches 0 first, or runs out of cards to draw...loses the game"
@@black97_0 i mean they could easily do up to Synchro/XYZ. Pendulums are a nightmare though.
12 years. 12 years! This man has been running a show about reviewing comic books, FOR 12 YEARS!! *WITH* an actual ongoing storyline, including several arcs, specials episodes, crossovers, and a *MOVIE* !! This man is living the dream!
If there's no rap battle anywhere in this contest I'm gonna be pissed.
Or more accurately I will PRETEND to be pissed, but really only be kinda put out and probably agree that it was the right call, depending on what it gets replaced with.
HalfTangible
Unless it’s shadyvox.
That guy’s an amazing rapper.
Imagine if he had marvel money and had acess to the newline cinima's licences.
Scott Bruckner
That’d be AWESOME!
@@daelen.cclark Duuuuuuuuuude!
zakfett92
You get it!
YESSSS!!!! I Mind, Soul, Existance, Personal Space, Energy, and The next 46 minutes of my life are ready for this!!!
Proof that linkara will win the contest of champions: In his review of Holy terror, when future linkara shows up, on his shelf, you can see the exact same infinity Gauntlet that the Temlins will give away as the prize!! Lewis, You Magnificent forshadower I read your BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah I realised i accidently spoiled the outcome XD
Man, I really want that coat Jaeris has.
I know, right?
Agreed!
Don’t quite get the little flap on it.
I knew I heard kaiba from the bandit chiefs voice actor
So I take it he plans to screen the rules somehow XD
So am I right in assuming it's LittleKuriboh voicing him but not being his bodyself
I’d love it if he shouted “DAMN YOU EXPLODIA!!!”
Okay… the name “Chris Soulsword” is easily the coolest name I have heard from a (possible) one off character. If he DOESN’T make an appearance in this arc, could you please bring him back in the future??
In fact, MOST of these champions sound f**king awesome.
Erin : "What if he challenges you to a lawyering contest...or eating dog food?"
Linkara: 26:43 (inner thought) @#$% Didn't think about that!
"Should you choose to accept, you will never finish this Tournament"
That’s an interesting idea for a trap.
Lock them in fights with each other for all time.
Can't wait for the rest of this storyline, loved how Jaeris and Linkara's reaction to the Infinity Gauntlet was almost a mirror to Jaeris's incredulousness at Linkara reviewing a comic when they're in danger and I definitely enjoyed the new characters especially Will's performance as Scarn. Do you have plans for the Contest characters, or do you prefer not to say right now?
Also, Team Pilo, sorry.
@@BaronesaReturns I really want to get the actor's autograph, but I don't know if I should call him River or Mr. Rocks.
@@Rickbeast001 I obviously don't want to presume too much because it is Lewis's story and if he did it would obviously depend on the availability of the actors. We'll just have to wait and see.
pretty sure all the ones mentioned here are the only ones showing up
Yeah. THe Infinity Gauntlet thing blew me away too!
Team Destrogalaga for me, Gotta love me some Kaiju.
After having caught up on all the storylines, I am really excited to eventually see the ending to the Contest of Champions.
These storylines are so good and thought out its amazing!
What is it about Linkara’s home that makes everyone want to fight there? Good ambiance?
32:04 You had a chance to make another Lamp Reviewer joke.
Impera and her dead friend are definitely gonna be a plot point
I can see it now...
At last, although it was quite possibly the most _difficult_ series of fights our champion has ever experienced, Linkara has defeated his last remaining competitor and now stands alone at the top. He actually won...
He grins devilishly.
The deities themselves come down, gracing the mortal man with their presence in order to personally deliver his prize. His smile becomes even more twisted.
_“With this, space actually CAN be warped! Time WILL be bendable!”_
And then, Linkara begins...
...laughing?
First it was a mere chuckle, then a hearty bellow, before finally descending into a demonic cackle of hateful condescension.
We cut to an unknown, dark, cramped room. It’s only contents being a modified television, and a man, bound to a chair, struggling desperately.
He is attempting to scream, however it is fruitless as the mysterious man’s mouth is thoroughly duck-taped. Nevertheless, he struggles - now shouting just one word, but with so much rage and desperation, the audience can at last understand him.
Mechakara.
He’s screaming Mechakara.
Linkara watches on helplessly in shackles at the single, flickering television tuned into the contest.
He sees Mechakara equip the reality-warping gauntlet.
*_SNAP_*
And then, there was darkness.
(Okay, this is _never_ going to happen, but could you imagine?!)
... and it turns out that darkness was just the power cutting out... the Snap failed. The gauntlet has no power in this universe.
The Infinity Stones were not forged in this universe, after all. They have no power here.
You guys are good at this
YAY!! Another storyline compilation! Watching this while recovering from a dental surgery on my front teeth. This day couldn’t be better
14:54
Moarte: Idiot!
Linkara: Dumbass! 🤣
When the Contest of Champions finally ends, will this video be deleted and an updated version be uploaded? Or are you going to post a "Contest of Champions: Part 2" compilation?
Part 2, since the tenth anniversary storyline ended up happening in the middle of it.
@@AT4W Thank you for clarifying!
@@AT4W The question is, will it be titled "Storyline 10 Part 2" or "Storyline 12"? 🤔
Linkara, got a entry for you for your next missed opportunities video, regarding the storyline attached to your review of Final Crisis - when Skarn says he's reduced to facing an entertainment critic, "someone who analyzes films or something". You should have left it just as "critic" and then had him say "someone who analyzes lamps or something"
When the Infinity Gauntlet showed, I thought to my self......."Why didn't I subscribe to you earlier last year?"
🤣I too went ballistic upon seeing it
Given Linksano's reaction, I'm guessing he hasn't seen the greatness that is Kaiju Big Battel. ;)
Recently, they showed DestroGalga was defeated by a steam punk space ship pilot, Sphinx Yonder, so I guess we'll never see Linkara fight a Kaiju.
So, are we going to see Tamara as Danielle Dantari again in 2019 or did she cut the links with you?
Shortly after everything happened, I asked her if she wanted me to not use the rest of the footage shot with her and that I'd totally understand if she didn't want me to do so, but she said it was okay, so I shall be using the rest of the footage shot.
What happened
@@geekimusprime3058 #changethechannel controversy.
That sounds like it was a bit of a relief
@@multilad816 I think it's mentioned that all of the sequences are filmed.
I love how unlike most opponents in tournament arcs, the bandit chief does NOT underestimate Linkara.
I do hope we can get resolution on this arc soon. Relative to our universe's timescale, of course.
I have a plan to beat the almighty Pilo: Bulbasaur. Rocks are weak to grass!
Linkara i love how you made this set and i wish u much luck in the contest of champion and you have my support
What if Pilo this whole time was...
...Korg all along?
Dr. Strange Bat It’s a pile of rocks!
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm calling it right now, Helena Spruce is Linkara's room mate
Maybe Helena Spruce was Viga's dimensional doppleganger.
If Linkara wins the Infinity Gauntlet he will either scatter the gems so no one can use it or keep it and use it only if he has to fight another outer god. Which knowing his luck will happen in another year or two
So these powerful beings are basically Dr. Manhattan. But instead of killing people and being a threat to the multiverse, they're the grandmasters of this multiverse.
Somehow I have the feeling We're gonna see Scarn again.
I still miss Pollo's original voice.
the contest is taking forever to resume because the Temlins know what Linkara would do if he got his hands on the infinity gauntlet and are kicking the can down the road forever XD
Man the camera shots at 38:00 are just so amazing
8:44 Talking about dust in the wind in front of THIS gauntlet.....subtle
17:44 Freddy vs ghostbusters would be awesome, who’s with me?
Temlins and the way theyre described with the Contest is rather shifty. Reminds me of Greatest Show in the Galaxy.
Actually, the Temlins being god-like beings who do this because they're bored reminded me more of Enlightenment.
If Leforge can replicate any of the other scout ships then what is the off chance that one of the ships holds a fragment of Vice? But I cant shake this feeling that this "Contest" is nothing more than a veil for something far far more sinister
Well, duh. :P
Only question is, what?
@@HalfTangible Pilo maybe? He is the crowd favorite. Bandit King seems like the safe bet but with beings like The Entite and The King of Worms. (Pretty sure I might have misspelled the first one) Mecha-Kara is MIA along with Dr.Insano (for reasons) so they might be unlikely
@@B1ACKMAG3666 Not like that, I don't think it's a trick from anybody, 'cept maybe the Temlins. I was watching the previous storyline, and I noticed that the weird slow-mo effect that the contest coordinator guy has is one we saw before, with the servants of the Entity in the dark between dimensions (where Jaeris came over and Linkara fought those ghost-things). Which makes me think that maybe this is some outer god plot in another sense.
I dunno, it all seems... off, and I can't put my finger on why.
@@HalfTangible Explains the Infinity Gauntlet in play. But lets say for a second that it is a outer god plot, why award the winner a gauntlet that bends the very fabric of reality? What's the catch?
RantingMuppets If it’s in anyway accurate to the source they wouldn’t even be worried about Infinity Gauntlet
Interesting that half the existence of AT4W has been this story
Nah, not half.
...More like a third. -_-
Im guessing Linkara's final opponent will either be the Bandit Chief or Pilo with the Bandit Chief being the main villain
Dang, already I'm hooked on this storyline. Judging from the lack of footage from the 10th anniversary I might be correct in thinking it to be a "Tie-in" storyline. Also I love how the Bandit chief sounds in this very Seto Kiba like. The blue knight of Titan sounds like he'll be a tough opponent as well as the kaiju champion. But it seems that the bandit chief is out for blood in this contest. Sorry for the loss of the comicron 1 set Linkara. But I would think that sense Linkara is surrounded by people who look like him he'd probably use them as a distraction like the chiefs flash bang goes off and Linkara switches places and clothes with Harvey or 90's dude. Anyway great work your doing man, can't wait to see what you will do later down the road.
What happened to the comicron 1 set?
@@ErtaiCZ apparently a big storm came in a tree crashed down on linkara's garage which is where the, comicron 1 set was so that's why we haven't seen the inside of the ship in a while.
@@S_Echocaster Oh, I am sorry to hear that...
Thanks for the info
@@ErtaiCZ it's what I do though if you want this information from the car himself watch some of his PO unboxing videos those are the ones where he explains what's happening with all the other stuff he does
@@S_Echocaster I don't watch these and I probably won't start anytime soon, but thanks anyway =)
I bet 90s kid is actually psychic because Im pretty sure he's the only one who calls himself 90s dude
Great video linkara
Very much appreciate this, Lewis. thanks and Happy Holidays, sir!
Oh, I'm really glad for these refresher videos, because I'd completely forgotten the Bandit Chief was supposed to be a significant player~
8:53 plus with that power you can finally undo One More Day
Except he would rather see Marvel address One More Day much like they did with Avengers 200.
Ok I’m calling it for part 2: there’s a good chance we’ll see either Lord Vyce or Mechakara later on. Both would have motivations for wanting to obtain the Infinity Gauntlet
this is gonna be EPIC! :D also that ghostbuster cosplay is awesome!
5.9.22
And that's how atop the fourth wall became an anime!🤩
Looking forward to seeing this storyline resume again but I have to wonder with Mechakara back in the picture is there any concern that he may intefere in a match... or... could he possibly take part in it as a replacement competitor?
I kinda hope not. I love tournament arcs, but I really hate it when they get interrupted by the villains and result in no actual winner in the end. Maybe that's why I like MHA's Sports Festival Arc so much: although there is a villain working behind the scenes, he doesn't actually have anything to do with the tournament and his actions only result in one contestant having to withdraw from the awards ceremony. As such, it's a tournament with minimal interruptions and an actual winner in the end. And the protagonist isn't the winner!
@@ninakrishnamurthy6674 Plot Twist: one of the opponents IS Mechakara. Remember, the prize is the infinity gauntlet. If he wins, he can rewrite reality if he wants.
11:56
given what happened to the Gauntlet in Endgame....I bet Linkara will try the same thing
Since we are on the subject of story...does anybody else feel the part about linksano having a clone only for mirrorkara to kill it was.....well, anticlimactic if that’s the right word? I just feel like there was so much build up to these clones only for Mecha kara and then mirrorkara kinda pushing that aside.that leads me to two possibilities
1.the story with the mystery clone was dropped because it involved dr insano,and with spoony in his current state...well...
2.saving it for a future timeline after the contest of champions is over
Again these are my personal speculation and linkara I’m sure will debunk it if none are true
Anyone else feel how i feel?
The entire point was the anticlimax. It is a Clone Saga without any actual clones in it.
Admittedly, there WOULD have been a clone had this been a year-long storyline like I had originally planned... but the anti-climax would have still remained since that clone would barely have factored into anything and come from a completely different mad scientist who would have been a subplot.
You have a SECOND magic gun!? Where’d you purchase THAT!?
Calling it now, this is all a Ruze for Vyce to return and get revenge.
R Guillaume Unfortunately, Linkara confirmed on Tumblr that Vyce would not be appearing in this arc
Dammit! It makes PERFECT SENSE if he did.....
All he'd have to do is steal the Gauntlet, Imprison The Champions, restore his body and THE ENTITY and then use the Reality, Soul and Space Stones in the Gauntlet to control everyone but Linkara and his Allies and force him to fight everyone....only to potentially beat and possibly ERASE him....only for The PLOTHOLE to give him a shot at winning. Again, Perfect Comeback plan.......IF he appeared.
R Guillaume
Honestly, I don’t think he’d put vice in this arc, making sure to not run a villain into the ground and all that.
Thanks for putting in the work to give us a chance to review before next year.
Love the Superman Easter egg with two announcers
17:27 I got half a mind to learn photoshop so I can create a “Two Magic Guns?? How??” Meme out of this.
Proving that the betting boards are never right.
Destrogalga vs pilo in the finals eh?
With all these characters in this I would love to see a comic or book series based on these guys.
This is a great story line. Not only is it was wonderful concept and a great game (hell I'd play) but it is very well written. Keep up the good work and keep fighting the good fight. Love ya!
I don't suppose we're going to go for the OBVIOUS joke of Pilo eventually being beaten by paper?
🤣
I’m loving this already!
Hmmm, didn't think about this at the time, but doesn't the infinity gauntlet only work within the universe they come from? Or at least only the multiverse they come from?
Would Moarte be affected by the rules of the contest? If not, Skarn was lucky it wasn't October when he fought you.
I can imagine the Temlins would probably stop Morarte from attacking him with their magic.
They are gods after all.
I am hoping for either a rap battle, a Yugioh duel, or a Pokemon battle in this tournament arc.
07:29 I'm just saying, turn that into a GIF and you have an awesome reaction meme.
The complete Contest of Champions is probably my favorite or second favorite official arc with Sleepwalker being the other contender
But my favorite big story is the massive collaborative AT4W movie easy
Probs cause I quite enjoy Angry Joe
Dual-Wielding Margret needs to be more of a thing XD
This is what the tournament of power should have been.
DAMN. Too soon.
Awesome. Looking forward to part 2.
I might as well ask this. Who designed the logo for the Contest of Champions?
The Game Show Reviewer.
33:17 ... wouldn't he have lost his status as a champion if he lost the empire he was (presumably) using to conquer the stars?
Not necessarily. The qualifications for being a champion are simply "those best suited to defending it." Regardless of circumstance, he ran successful military campaigns and ran a vast empire. He still has resources and makes the most of what he has, even if he wants more.
@@AT4W Ah. The impression I got was that he had basically lost his kingdom and his back was against the wall.
Aw, I'd have liked to have seen Ace Corgi.
The Infinity Gauntlet works only in its home universe. Does that mean Temlins actually have 32 versions of Infinity Gauntlet, one for each universe taking part, or is this a more powerful version of the gauntlet that works in multiple realities like the ones from Secret Wars? The latter would mean it was created in the world that is a part of more than one reality at the same time.
I still hope they make a part 2 collection
It'll happen, it's just the race is going to be incorporated into it and that's going to take time.
😧 THE FREAKING INFINITY GAUNLET!!!
lol i thought i was behind but now i seen im up to date
I can't wait for the next part.
So is there a part 2 coming soon.
Contest isn't over yet.
Anyone else miss the old formal outfit
As someone who NEVER watched anything including statistics I have no idea what all the champion numbers mean...
freddy kreuger in silent hill anyone?
Besides a cameo, will Viga play a part in the Contest of Champions storyline?
My reaction to the infinity gauntlet was the same as linkaras
