He could probably die again if he wanted and get everything back. At this point I'm pretty sure he just cares about getting his cane back though. Probably an heirloom or super magic, or both.
Funny story: In my D&D campaign we had a bard who, during the final battle, sacrificed himself by tackling the bad guy through a portal to Avernus. For the next campaign, we wanted to bring back our old characters, so the campaign started with the group discovering a way to Avernus and going to rescue the bard, only to discover that in the 2 years he’d been there, he somehow charmed and deceived his way into becoming the ruler of Avernus, which the group found out when he came onto the scene singing this song and showing off his new position of authority.
I would like to point out that the Duke this entire time has a two pointed staff. Which for those who no Greek mythology you would know that's Hades staff. So did the did the Duke, take Hades place and now is gloating about it?
I’ve noticed the heavy influence from Greek Mythology with the Minotaur, Cyclops, Centaur, Cerberus, Gorgons and Hydra, but I love the added Greek detail with Duke’s cane resembling a Bident, the traditional weapon of choice for Hades, Greek king of the Underworld
“I’m the overlord of the underworld and you can’t take that from me!” *Missy proceeds to take that from him literally for no other reason than being salty*
@@katelynnkennemur6139 Well, the Duke kinda did ruin her whole live by (passively) turning her into a vampire. Missi probably had friends and family. But we'll see. Miss Dariah said that she'll be making a own animation dedicated to her past. But till then, we'll have to play the waiting game.
I thought it was so he'd have to live in this cold cruel world for the rest of his eternity, or maybe she just wants to completely destroy him so not even his souls left.
@@EverythingAndAnythingGoes24 oh. Well anyway I think the vampire is doing pretty well considering the throne in hell and sexy Gorgons. And everything else listed in the song
Aurelio Voltaire mentioned your animation for The Night at a show of his recently and I just had to check it out. I've probably watched this one over 20 times since seeing Voltaire on Saturday! Incredible work!!
@@localpyromaniac. He definitely did. I started listening to his work in 2013, and he's been my favorite artist since then, but it was around 2016 or 2017 (whenever this video dropped) that a large portion of his videos pretty much doubled in views. I do hope he gets some sort of revenue from these music videos as well - Daria does the animations, sure, but the soundtracks are all his property. In fairness, Voltaire's also been releasing some banger albums lately with Heart-Shaped Wound and The Black Labyrinth. I swear his music just keeps getting better, as well as more popular. These days most his songs have like, at least 100k views, and back when I discovered him they may've had around 10k to 15k each.
I thought you were referencing "House of Hades" with the "A river made of fire!" line so i thought i'd see a lot of Heroes of Olympus related comments..but i guess i was the only one haha
An animation more beautiful than the other! I'm in love with these adaptations in animation of Voltaire's songs! It's just perfect your job! And this scene after credits! Wow!
I love how the skeletons just look so sick of his shit but they have no choice. Theyre just waiting and hear him coming from wherever singing like "oh for fucks sake thats the fourth time this week"
Angel: hey so you know how we put that voltaire looking guy in hell for eternal torture? God: yeah? Angel: he took over the whole place God: oh dang , well just have the nerd super salty
Nori Shimogawa the from The Night animation video is pulling out a book about bringing back the dead. I can only assume she's planning to revive this guy here. Which I'm not sure how he'd take that seeing as he's having a grand ol time. XD
I see him more as a Pixar man, cause I'm with Perfect Gojira 5. He was meant to play either Dracula or a musical Satan. There are Hellsing Ultimate AMVs that support this. And Disney, while it has evolved a bit, just ain't ready to do either of those concepts without butchering it to be "family friendly." Pixar can get away with a lot more, as seen in the Book of Life and every offhand joke they've ever made in a kids film. Kung Fu Panda, A Bug's Life, the Ice Age series, Toy Story, the Incredibles, just to name a few examples.

So after being turned into ash, Duke took over Hell itself... Huh. For a dead guy he's got ambitions, I like it. Also I wonder why Missi is trying to bring him back now, maybe she just got bored? I wonder if part 3 will be a role reversal of last time and Duke will be the one running from Missi. Anyway, this was great just like The Night and now I seriously can't wait for Chapter 3
I think she just wanna humiliate him. As he said in the song, i guess canon?, that he is darkside royalty in the underworld. But now that he has lost his cane he cant do the thing he once could and missi has been corrupted by it.!!! Gah i love this series!

Is absolutely love how expressive and smooth your animations are!! Especially duke’s sassy movements, it definitely expresses who he is and his personality, I just love everything about your animations it’s even better than pure gold!!!
JESUS CHRIST! I loved Voltaire already but these adaptions...just...WOW! The animations, character designs, and just the atmosphere is amazingly fitting and super well done! *round of applause to this talented person*
Jikkō Von Satsujin but technically, he still ruler of the land of the dead. If she were somehow to “accidentally” die, she’ll fall right into his palm, with no way to escape. The only reason why she even has power, is because she’s holding HIS cane. Just like him, as far as I know, she’ll won’t be able to bring it with her, making her a normal person again.
Duke: And you can't take that awaaaaay from meeee! Missi: hold my beer Idk about anybody else, but as far as I'm concerned Missi is waaaay scarier than Duke ever was. He definitely picked the wrong kid to mess with.
This is and will always be for me the best part of the entire series... I've heard the wonderful melody it a trillion times I've seen the detailed and smooth animation a trillion times I love this.... Thank you Daria!
Daria Cohen If you want to take a break though that's perfectly understandable and we're all fine with it. You deserve it for all the work you went through to make this!
I love this animation! I also love these two characters! I don't know why, but I ship them so much! Please let me know their names, I want to right a fan fiction about these two!
Good: we can both ship them and see how're our shipping parallel XD (oh, dear: am I giving away what I'm gonna do with them in future clips? I better stop myself before I'll reveal too much...) Their names are Duke and Missi, btw. Do with them as you will XP
It’s probably because of this song that I want there to be a show that has at least one Volitare song an episode. I even have a plot down for it. When an immortal finally kicks the bucket, the princess of the dead, Horror, takes an instant liking to him. To satisfy her curiosity about the domain of the living, he recounts his rollercoaster of an eternity from how he was almost completely devoured by cannabals to his first ever marriage and how it didn’t turn out so well to his first future ex girlfriend to when he was trapped at the bottom of the sea. And she’s cue in like ‘wait! But if you were eaten by canables, than why do you have all you limbs?’ and such... Just a cute idea.
I can't explain why, but I just adore the line, "Darkside Royalty" the way it's sung, the way the music and chorus sort of pop at the "ty" part. Ugh Billy and Mandy was so awesome.
Facilier is actually cited as one of the inspirations for Duke. Daria drew a picture of him, Hades, Jafar and Prof. Ratigan with Duke pretty early on in her channel's life. Check for the "Meet Your Idols" speed draw video.
Everything about this is perfection. The colours, the posing of the character, the facial expressions. The animation is smooth as butter and the backgrounds are absolutely amazing. This is exactly the kind of art style Voltaire's work deserves and I couldn't think of a more perfect way to animate to his music. You my guy are doing absolutely amazing work.
Doesn’t that mean if he dies anyway the second time that he returns to being the overlord of the underworld? Nothing to say that he couldn’t reclaim it the second time as well
This is really good work. I'm a fan of Voltaire, so I absolutely appreciate this. As an animator himself, I think Voltaire would, at the very least, be mildly amused, and, at most, humbly appreciative. Got here from the Zombie Prostitute one.
I'll never understand how people love a character that broke into a dude's house, tried to seduce him, then *killed him* when he took the bait. Then, after that, dude gets resurrected *for the purpose of tormenting him more,* kicked out of his own house (during which time he didn't actually try to fight Missi), forced to sell his body for a while to make ends meet, and eventually gets dragged into dancing with her so she can mess with him more. Granted, their most recent meeting showed them both go pretty crazy.
Actually, that was my thought exactly when I saw her transformation at the end of the last one. I think the cane's cursed in some way shape or form. Don't tell me if I'm right until the next one, though.
I've known this video since it released those few years ago, and just came back to it because I randomly remembered it. I've been feeling a tad down lately, as life has been... Less than kind, and this just made me smile and chuckle. I needed that, so thank you.
David Trofimov she's a vampire but She turned right after she killed him so maybe it's a case of wanting to figure out her abilities (and get someone who she can use for the pleasures of the flesh as a side bonus)
Shoulder shimmies and eye flutters! Haha! Did anyone notice that when Dule sings "dark side royalty" the first time he lifts up his glass as if to say "dark side royal-TEA."
Something tells me there was already a little more to her than meets the eye. She knew about this seemingly abandoned castle, for one. Plus she seduced him pretty quickly for an innocent nerd.
At the scene 0:07 notice all of the cane/wands and guitar which means he have defeated all others leaders of the underworld (or factions). Which make his the king of kings in the land of the dead.
Is it just me, or is the animation for Land of the Dead smoother than The Night? Like, I LOVED The Night's animation and honestly didn't think that could be topped, but this one is so fluid and it flows so well and just!!! WOW!
the creator was on her 4th year in animation college - if I'm not mistaken - when she made The Night as a College's work, most colleges take 5 years to be completed, so i would say that this is the result of yet another year of dedication to her graduation
whenever I hear this song, ill now see this video playing in my mind instead of the billy and mandy special. You managed to take these songs and create imagery that flows so well as well as have a connecting story between this and "The Night", I am very interested where this will lead next

JESUS CHRIST! I loved Voltaire already but these adaptions...just...WOW! The animations, character designs, and just the atmosphere is amazingly fitting and super well done! *round of applause to this talented person*
Certainly taking his death pretty well compared to most villains, lol
Yoxiv true true but watch part 3
I mean hes treated as a lord there, every villian likes that
Yoxiv he’s my hero
Jikkō Von Satsujin but technically, he still ruler of the land of the dead. If she were somehow to “accidentally” die, she’ll fall right into his palm, with no way to escape. The only reason why she even has power, is because she’s holding HIS cane. Just like him, as far as I know, she’ll won’t be able to bring it with her, making her a normal person again.
Yoxiv right? And he gets fucked over in chapter 3. Poor guy
*Nobody:*
*Duke:* There’s no problem you can’t fix by screwing a girl!
😂 he is weird but still awesome! I love both him and Missy😍
Pale king: nervous sweating
Correct
@@miclonolds6394 I see youre a man of culture aswell
@@miclonolds6394 Pale King is more "throwing younglings into the abyss" kinda guy.
He just sounds so cheerful about taking over hell after having been killed.
Shadowshard Darkfang who wouldn't?
Valid point.
He is now the king of Hell it is a nililistic sadists dream
If you own hell you don't get tortured you GIVE torture
Duke: And you can't take that awaaaaay from meeee!
Missi: hold my beer
Idk about anybody else, but as far as I'm concerned Missi is waaaay scarier than Duke ever was. He definitely picked the wrong kid to mess with.
wolfmoon256 lol yas!
Comic correction "wrong staff"
*, agree.*
Thing is she comes in reading the Twilight and she’s not wanted to be freakin get raped by a vampire.
wolfmoon256 ikr
Duke: you can’t take that from me
Missi: hold my beer
Squishy Sandface lol hahahaha!!!!
Squishy Sandface LMAO XD
Squishy Sandface OH GOD YESS😂😂😂😂😂
This statement is a very accurate one and deserves a beer, but Duke is currently holding it right now so you're going to have to wait.
This is and will always be for me the best part of the entire series...
I've heard the wonderful melody it a trillion times
I've seen the detailed and smooth animation a trillion times
I love this....
Thank you Daria!
Wow! That was incredible! You did an amazing job on this and the teaser at the end has only gotten me more hyped for your next music video!
Woo-hoo! Thanks^^
I guess I should start working on it now XP
Daria Cohen If you want to take a break though that's perfectly understandable and we're all fine with it. You deserve it for all the work you went through to make this!
I love this animation! I also love these two characters! I don't know why, but I ship them so much! Please let me know their names, I want to right a fan fiction about these two!
Good: we can both ship them and see how're our shipping parallel XD
(oh, dear: am I giving away what I'm gonna do with them in future clips? I better stop myself before I'll reveal too much...)
Their names are Duke and Missi, btw. Do with them as you will XP
Yay!!! Wattpad here I come with a new story!!!
I picture Hades handing him the key to the underworld, saying, "Yeah, just wait a few thousand years and you'll want someone to take your place"
Heh yea your right it probably would get boring after awhile.
I picture Hades himself singing it!!! I wish this was in the Hercules movie!! I bet it would've been awesome!!!!!
Empress of Kingfishers hades: this is your burden now
Actually Hades really likes his job, so he’d probably want to keep it
Empress of Kingfishers XD
"You can't take that from me!'
2:25
"Wanna bet?"
anonymouse n
Lol can't wait to see his pissed off reaction when he gets revived XD
'Twill be a beautiful sight
Pretty much 😂
anonymouse n
Indeed 😂
anonymouse n I was just thinking that! Hahaha!!
It’s probably because of this song that I want there to be a show that has at least one Volitare song an episode. I even have a plot down for it.
When an immortal finally kicks the bucket, the princess of the dead, Horror, takes an instant liking to him. To satisfy her curiosity about the domain of the living, he recounts his rollercoaster of an eternity from how he was almost completely devoured by cannabals to his first ever marriage and how it didn’t turn out so well to his first future ex girlfriend to when he was trapped at the bottom of the sea.
And she’s cue in like ‘wait! But if you were eaten by canables, than why do you have all you limbs?’ and such... Just a cute idea.
Missi: Hah I killed him
Duke: Im lord of hell now x and you can't take that from me
Missi : Hold my beer
Completely true
Question is - how does she know about it? Wouldn't she rather ressurect him for some other purpose?
Probably to make him a slave?
Evelyn Mendoza hold my brew I have someone too kill again
Caleb Gaytan oooooooh maybe she ressurects him as a zombie and he gets teleported and Voltaire's brains song can be played
I can't explain why, but I just adore the line, "Darkside Royalty" the way it's sung, the way the music and chorus sort of pop at the "ty" part. Ugh Billy and Mandy was so awesome.
I bet him and the voodoo man from Princess and the Frog would get along great haha 🙃🙃
Sydney Dudley there best friend in all of hell when he heard his boi was done there he joined
Dr. Facilier
Both got beat by a chick
Facilier is actually cited as one of the inspirations for Duke. Daria drew a picture of him, Hades, Jafar and Prof. Ratigan with Duke pretty early on in her channel's life. Check for the "Meet Your Idols" speed draw video.
Everything about this is perfection. The colours, the posing of the character, the facial expressions. The animation is smooth as butter and the backgrounds are absolutely amazing. This is exactly the kind of art style Voltaire's work deserves and I couldn't think of a more perfect way to animate to his music. You my guy are doing absolutely amazing work.
I agree - I'd donate to whatever patreon they have in a heartbeat.
Duke: and you cant take that from me!
Missi: Lol try me.
Missi: Hold my... wine? Yeah, wine, that's it.
Kevin The Dodo xDD
Ha! Can and will.
Guess he's having a *hell* of a time?
God kill me.
You made a hell joke and put *God* in the next sentence.
Bitch, you're not goin to heaven OR hell. You're goin to space
Hell yes. Join the Dark Side, my fellow punster.
arbitorwolf that was a goof one
arbitorwolf get that ass banned
He does.
It's cool that it's inspired from Greek mythology
Im greek and i didnt noticed it!😆😆😆😆😆😆
It was also in Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.

@@xeronylloyd21 oh
Duke: “i’m the overlord of the underworld”
Missy: how bout no
I love the facial expressions and little booty dances he does XD I feel like I know what this character is like after only seeing him in two videoes
He's one sassy vampire indeed X3
Sporkzz My favorite expression is his reveal face. it just screams "IM BACK BITCHES"
I don't understand why this video is getting less attention than the "the night" one
Both are amazing :"3
because "the night" popped in hot on 9gag and this didn't
LS Michaelis because the other one is way older
LS Michaelis I KNOW
Duke: I’m dark side royalty!
Missi: I’m about to end this mans whole career
who is Missi?
HypoPally Missi is the girl in the first episode
Doesn’t that mean if he dies anyway the second time that he returns to being the overlord of the underworld? Nothing to say that he couldn’t reclaim it the second time as well
This is really good work. I'm a fan of Voltaire, so I absolutely appreciate this. As an animator himself, I think Voltaire would, at the very least, be mildly amused, and, at most, humbly appreciative.
Got here from the Zombie Prostitute one.
I love Missi so much like she heard him and was like oh no there is no way you're staying happy.
Duke : Smiles even a little
Missi : Nope
I'll never understand how people love a character that broke into a dude's house, tried to seduce him, then *killed him* when he took the bait. Then, after that, dude gets resurrected *for the purpose of tormenting him more,* kicked out of his own house (during which time he didn't actually try to fight Missi), forced to sell his body for a while to make ends meet, and eventually gets dragged into dancing with her so she can mess with him more. Granted, their most recent meeting showed them both go pretty crazy.
@@tek512 Duke was creepy and harrassing her. Tho, i'd say that her grudge for him is unhealthy and she is borderline insane now
Diệp Triệu It was understandable when her life was in danger but she brought him back to life
I totally agree with the last 2 replys
>Watches the vid
>Whatches the likes
>Watches the subs
>Wonders where humanity went wrong
>Gets on with life
I mean this is some real cartoon quality
same as me, buddy XP
Kajnake i so agree
before:
*read a book about Twilight*
after:
*read a book about ressurection and other satanic things*
Wow, you improve...
Makes you think if Missi is in charge of her own actions or if she's possessed by the cane.
I think she just wanted us to listen to voltire
Ghaza Ezz best comment lol
Actually, that was my thought exactly when I saw her transformation at the end of the last one. I think the cane's cursed in some way shape or form. Don't tell me if I'm right until the next one, though.
Only slightly less evil
You know Diana, your Vampair cartoon looks good enough to be a cartoon Network show itself.
This guy makes being basically the devil seem like so much fun.
537monster well think about YOU OWN YOUR OWN DIMENSION
Depends if ur Squamish
lil_cjm is awesome, image being able create and destroy anything you want (basically a god)
537monster My question was WHY U BULLY THE SKELETONS.
Because why not?
For a 'Land of the Dead', the place is pretty 'lively'
Ayyyyyyy get out.
agreed
Have you see Mexican hell? Eternity parties are the best parties!
Velvet Sparrow You mean the Land of the Dead? Of course it's lively and musical. It's not really "hell" either
Kheista Prameswari Gunawan ready the hook
I couldn't stop smiling just because of how eccentric he was throughout this whole thing.
I've known this video since it released those few years ago, and just came back to it because I randomly remembered it. I've been feeling a tad down lately, as life has been... Less than kind, and this just made me smile and chuckle.
I needed that, so thank you.
He pissed off the wrong twilight fan.
yep, I'm pretty sure this will avenge her book XD
Mad-Hatter-ison Oh yes
Lol
chapter 3 confirmed that.
Nope
“And you can't take that from me”
Sees the last scene
'Insert John Cena's are you sure about that'
he better enjoy his time there XD
Mad-Hatter-ison Judging from the gorgons, I'd say that's a given.
still don't see a reason for her to bring him back......
David Trofimov she's a vampire but She turned right after she killed him so maybe it's a case of wanting to figure out her abilities (and get someone who she can use for the pleasures of the flesh as a side bonus)
Shadow Trepadon "pleasures of the flesh" does that mean what I think it means...?
*SHOULDER WIGGLES INTENSIFIES*
Chicken tender lol
+Chicken Tenders I died laughing XD
This whole thing (music, animation, etc...) feels like it could be a clip from a classic disney movie. Great job
Shoulder shimmies and eye flutters! Haha! Did anyone notice that when Dule sings "dark side royalty" the first time he lifts up his glass as if to say "dark side royal-TEA."
When you think about it, Duke seems to be oddly popular considering he got snuffed by a geeky teen.
Something tells me there was already a little more to her than meets the eye. She knew about this seemingly abandoned castle, for one. Plus she seduced him pretty quickly for an innocent nerd.
Well he's apparently demon royalty so I think that gives him a buffer
*Lmao he probably didnt tell anyone*
@@wardedthorn6523 I'm pretty sure it was less her seducing him and more her (pretending to) give into _his_ seduction.
@@snaiilsalt so the little girld doenst turns into a vimpire when he suck her blood?
Its great
Especially the ending.
Jasmine Liew yah! BTW I just noticed now the books words are from the end song of Caroline ( cuz I looked up the lyrics before I realized this )
Jasmine Liew I
here's hoping for a Part 3 in 2018
Meh dos
It will come so don't worry
At the scene 0:07 notice all of the cane/wands and guitar which means he have defeated all others leaders of the underworld (or factions). Which make his the king of kings in the land of the dead.
I didn't think of that before--that's brilliant. I just figured he was picking one of them out to use.
TheCyborgCast good point
and yet he was and will be once again defeated by Missi... i wonder what she have being planning for when she ressurects him
What does other factions mean? Is it a reference to something?
Underworld that multiple species fighting each each other and he came defeated them all. Making him the leader and ruler of the underworld.
Jazz hands. it just had to be jazz hands XD
does this mean Missi is being covered next? Im curious to what she's up to
ilovechika1 she's in the fly away vidio
But I think she's living with the bats
Only one bad thing about this song
It ends
like billy and mandy
get this to 69 likes
"Can't take that from me"
Immediately cuts to image of girl preparing to resurrect him.
Marcelo Solaris To screw him over?
You are so amazing! I love your art style and it is so befitting of Voltaire's style. You should somehow show this to Voltaire.
Candi Prince I did tweet him a link to her animation of the night. I hope he does, both of these are awesome.
Did he ever respond?
Candi Prince ii
Yes
Candi Prince Dd
Is it just me, or is the animation for Land of the Dead smoother than The Night? Like, I LOVED The Night's animation and honestly didn't think that could be topped, but this one is so fluid and it flows so well and just!!! WOW!
Maybe the creators skills improved between The Night and this one
the creator was on her 4th year in animation college - if I'm not mistaken - when she made The Night as a College's work, most colleges take 5 years to be completed, so i would say that this is the result of yet another year of dedication to her graduation
1:43
His little dance is very lovely. 🥰
whenever I hear this song, ill now see this video playing in my mind instead of the billy and mandy special. You managed to take these songs and create imagery that flows so well as well as have a connecting story between this and "The Night", I am very interested where this will lead next
Duke: you can’t take that from me
Also duke: *gets resurrected* DAMN IT
@Χρήστος Μπαγεώργος how does a vampire kill themself
@Χρήστος Μπαγεώργος makes sense
Yes!
"Thanks for Watching"
But where's Missi?
"*steps*"
Oh, there she is!
I admire that he planned ahead for his retirement.
OKAY! NOW IM ANTSY FOR CHAPTER 3! I NEED IT! (That said, take your time! I can tell you already pour your heart and soul into these and its amazing)
Me too I can't wait to see it
does anyone know when the 3 part is coming out
jake foreman I heard someone mention January but I don't know if its accurate
thank you
You need to draw then color it then you animate it but hey I dont know how animations work so dont quote me on that.
I hope disney hires you
You know what would be the downside of casting Voltaire as a villain in Disney movie?
The audience would root for him.
Jarosław Sobiński I already root for most Disney villains lol.
Taylor Breckenridge Disney is retared
ItsEvan Claymation
yep and ur a genius
Pacachan くそあんた why thank you
Duke :" you can't take that away from me "
Missi :" guess again"
This episode is underrated. ♡
The animation quality, the flow, the personality. Hot damn.
I translated the English lyrics into Japanese ones by myself.

"Land Of The Dead"
The Minotaur's my butler
The Cyclop's my valet
A Centaur draws my chariot that takes me down the way
Through a river made of fire
To a street that's paved in bones
I got a dozen zombie skeletons to walk me to my throne
In the land of the dead
Heck boy, ain't it grand?
I'm the overlord of the underworld
Cause I hold Horror's Hand
In the land of the dead
I'm darkside royalty
I'm far renowned in the underground
And you can't take that from me
Cerberus my lap dog is loyal as can be
My bed is made of skulls, I'm in the lap of luxury
I've got a Dragon's Blood jacuzzi
the Gorgons think it's cool
And a seven-headed Hydra livin' in my swimmin' pool
In the land of the dead
Heck boy, ain't it grand?
I'm the overlord of the underworld
Cause I hold Horror's Hand
In the land of the dead
I'm darkside royalty
I'm far renowned in the underground
And you can't take that away from me
No you can't take that from me
