- friendly Chozo named Quiet Robe explains to Samus in Metroid Dread that the X Parasite had irradicated nearly all the Chozo except save for him and Raven Beak
this cutscene alone turned my objective from 'leave the planet and beat the final boss' to 'throttle raven beak with my bare hands and shit on his corpse'
I can only imagine the emotions running through Samus' head when she saw Quiet Robe and realized he was indeed a Chozo. She had watched Zebes, the planet she was essentially raised on, go out in a fiery explosion courtesy of a final "f you" from Mother Brain. She assumed there was nothing left of the Chozo...but here was a survivor - one of Old Bird's and Grey Voice's people. She must have been so happy to be able to speak Chozo again.
Which makes Quiet Robe's sudden death so much worse with how suddenly it happens.
I thought his death was hilarious, out of nowhere
It's like how Luke was shell-shocked by Kenobi's death
This blew my mind. Seeing an alive Chozo, talking with one, who expands upon the memories in Samus Returns. Then we learn more about the motivations behind the villain, and about the truth on ZDR.
Then Samus speaks in Chozo language, promising Quiet Robe he would stop Raven Beak.
This makes Quiet Robe's death such a gut punch, especially as he's the last friend she has left aside from Adam, and the last of her true family, (not Raven Beak).
Metroid Dread is such a great conclusion to the story.
on my third playthrough and can't get enough of this game
For all we know Old Bird might still be alive? So not necessarily the last of her true family?
I firmly agree with everything you just said
He?
@@Zyborggian I had some thoughts on that as well. For one thing, the Chozo race was highly advanced technology and culture-wise, and they spread to multiple planets throughout the galaxy. Who's to say that there isn't a secret Chozo colony somewhere? Perhaps one that's completely isolated from what happened to the rest of their civilization? Or maybe they choose to hide themselves until the right moment? There's so much room for possibility! I love it!
Can we just appreciate how the actual power level of Raven Beak here?? Like, we know that the federation doesn't have the resources or ability to contain an X parasite infection of a planet when it just consumes random wildlife. But, here we learn that Raven-Beak single handedly handled an X infection of "CHOZO SOLDIERS", and he did it without the aid of any metroid DNA or absorption abilities. Like, he did what you did in Fusion, but without the ability to absorb them. That's CRAZY!!!!!!
Raven Beak is a top tier villain
And yet, he couldn't actually handle the power of Samus Aran. Showing just how powerful and incredible Samus truly is.😏
The Chozo language sounds like a mix of Japanese, Spanish, and Arabic and it's so cool
As spanish, I can confirm we mixed our language with japanese and arabic to speak like birds
I can definitely hear more Spanish from the dialog, given Mercury Studios is a Spanish development team, it makes sense
idk how you can tell 😂
@@astraldog3359 I watch a lot of anime, listened to enough Spanish in my life, and my family is Middle Eastern so we speak Arabic
@@JoeFanik
Props.
Never has a game cutscene invoked such emotion and nostalgia in me, but my goodness this is it right here
The Super Metroid music just worked so damn well in this scene. I think I've watched this like ten times now lol
2:30 - "That madman intends to weaponize the Metroids we created; he's completely unforgiveable!"
You can see it in the way Robe acts.
Why would they feel sorry about? They are a dominant alien species in the Galaxy which is advanced in every level. No wonder why Raven Beak opposed the ways of Chozo to just abandon the cosmos and seek that balance. He decided that in order to become more powerful, he needed an army, fleets, stronghold systems, and the Metroid. If Raven Beak's plan ever came to fruition the GF government would had fall.
A single Chozo warrior can take on 20 humans and defeat them in combat as they are extremely capable combatants. A Chozo generated conflict would had been more devastating to the Galaxy than that of the Phazon Crisis, the meteors, and Dark Samus (Metroid Prime) all together. Think about it.
Samus's body language is great in this sequence.
She is such a badass
1:51
At that point, the Metroids weren’t the Chozo’s pets anymore; they were part of SR388’s ecosystem. The Chozo should’ve just left them alone.
I mean letting them alone would tempt others to make the use of them. Like the Federation or worse space pirates
The Chozo created a problem by creating the Metroids, even though it was a solution to a much bigger Problem
I love how ancient and glorious the Chozo language sounds (Henkhi Maradis/Quiet Robe, Ashkar Behek/Raven Beak, Eris/X, Ilithariimnaliima/ZDR, Agaarnaliima/SR388 and Tzavaalma/however) just to mention a few.
I hope this glorious language returns in MP4.
seeing this for the 2nd time still hurts! poor quiet robe!!! he put his life on the line to help samus! 😭💔
thank you for your service Quiet Robe 🦅🕯️😭
Not once, but twice. We hardly knew ye.
As a person who loves hearing foreign languages hearing the Chozo language actually spoken is fascinating. It's a shame we probably will never hear it again, but we'll wait see what happens with this next Arc for Samus.
I have a feeling the Chozo will be back. Maybe a prequel with Samus as a child.
@@Jamaipanese
Technically, even if those were the last Chozo, there's a way to bring them back. With as many ways as Metroids have been cloned throughout the games, Samus carries Chozo DNA inside her, both Thoha and Mawkin genetics. Those could easily be used to create new Chozo.
Samus' early days of bounty hunting and training would be an interesting time to have a game set
@@jamaiplays
I imagine it'd make a better movie than game, since it wouldn't lend itself nearly as well to a Metroid style game and changing the formula that much wouldn't blow over well.
@@VGamingJunkieVT According to the website, there are still chozo alive out there, but they all went into hiding
1:06 I love how Samus just casually sits back and puts her arm on her knee after nearly being killed, as if to say "Sup motherfucker?"
This is probably the best cutscene I have ever seen. The use of Super Metroid's Lower Brinstar theme while the story is being explained adds a sense of mystery. Then the use of The Theme of Samus Aran when Quiet Robe explains what Samus what do is such a cool touch.
This scene is more amazing when you realize you play Lower Brinstar during it
Took me straight back to Zebes and Super Metroid. Amazing song choice
Such an iconic theme. Honestly I feel it’s become almost as iconic as the titular piano piece that plays before each game.
Set the playback speed to 1.25x and connect the dots.
Dude, it was SO great they put that in there and not just for a nostalgic callback, but also a callback to the events of Super Metroid. This for me is an all-time top tier video game cinematic. Watched it so many times.
2:34
He should’ve taken the entire tribe hostage instead of just one of them.
No matter how many times I see this, I can't help but be impressed at this scene.
It's when things really switched gears for Samus in the story and it is done so well!
The best part is at 1:06 where Samus just casually sits back after nearly being killed
When I saw the 11th Chozo Memory in Samus Returns I was wondering what that was all about. Quiet Robe shed light on it and that SR388's destruction was supposed to happen but got delayed.
I really hope we get to interact with more Chozo in the future
Maybe its just me being a Metroid fan but seeing an actual living chozo outside of memories or traces of their civilizations, my heart felt nothing but grief after hearing so many horrid things that happened to them more than be excited to see one alive and well. I know it sounds weird but after learning about their systematic extinctions in multiple planets that housed their civilizations it felt more like you were walking into living tombs rather than a planet with rich history delicately handled by a people who were so interwoven into their homeworlds that they would do anything in their power to preserve them....and every time they were upended by forces way beyond their control. Im hoping that we actually come upon an entire tribe or possibly a sanctuary planet they have colonized I really don't want to think that a unique people are just gone. Sorry for the feel coaster but that's how much this series means to me. Still lets hope there's more survivors out there that are not like Raven Beak.
Chozo are a top tier scifi fantasy race
It was awesome when her theme kicked in
Goosebumps!
5:15 I am counting on you, samus.
*dies a couple of seconds later*
"murdered" a couple seconds later. Poor guy
4:45 Samus Theme. :D So awsome to hear it updated.
I hope this wasn't the last of the Chozo, it would be a real shame to finally have living members of them show up only to fizzle out before the game's over.
I hope it isn't too!
they're not really extinct, a few of them that remain are scattered in the edges of the cosmos or went into hiding.
@@ayar2
Someone mentioned that, after I made the post. That's good, I hope they make more appearances in games, they're more personal to Samus than even the Federation.
Still holding out for a Samus origin story game
@@jamaiplays there's the manga prequel, tho the plot there doesn't seem fit to translate into a traditional metroid game, and zero mission is canonically her first job as a bounty hunter (huntress?).
This scene is forever engraved into my memory. The soundtrack is so appropriate. And when Samus spoke I got chills. She's spoken before but I do not accept team ninja Samus. Their thing is ninja and volleyball games they never should have touched Samus. This game was great.
4:46
Samus’ only line.
**Spoiler Alert:**

Unless you also include "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Raven Beak is no better than Mother Brain.
Perhaps, but Raven Beak would probably be able to beat Ridley too
Here's how I think Raven Beak trapped the X Parasites:
Elun used to be a military base or sanctuary for the Mawkin, but Raven Beak, fearing a possible X invasion, secretly had a containment chamber built around it. When the X invaded, he had the last of his people retreat into the base, using them as bait to lure the infected Chozo. Then he activated the containment protocol. We later see that Raven Beak can open Elun from his airship, so he was able to stay safe while he did all this.
Raven Beak’s biggest mistake is that he came home empty-handed.
I played this a while back and to see a living Chozo talking to Samus... probably her only remaining "Relative" so to speak (Samus was infused with Chozo dna when she was young to survive the harsh terrains of their lands for those who don't know).
I love the language he speaking
This game can literally be described with one word: EPIC!
Super Epic!
i didnt realize the Chozo had more than one tribe
I absolutely LOVE Samus in this game. She's like her true-to-form self! She is such a badass, but she also has her reassuring side and comforting side. Her soft spot. She reassures her new friend that she will end things once and for all. You can just hear and feel the smile on her face as she says "I will end this once and for all." And that puts a smile on Quiet Robe's face. And that's all Samus needs. She lives to see smiles like that. Even after they've faded, she'll continue to fight on for them. And she ends up keeping her promise in the end! She truly ends things once and for all. She lives to see the universe is happy and at peace. Samus Aran is truly my favourite character of all time.
Metroid = Mathroid
Samus = Damus
Aran = Arlan
So, Raven Beak must've been behind the events of the original games, including Super Metroid...!
By preventing the Thoha from destroying ZDR, the five mainline games are technically his fault. Without SR388, there would be no metroids for the space pirates to mass produce during Zero Mission, no metroids for samus to exterminate during Samus Returns, no baby metroid to seek during Super Metroid, no X Parasites to infest the BSL during Fusion, and no metroid dna to transform Samus during Dread.
The only things that would continue to happen is the space pirates would still be causing trouble in the galaxy and there is still some chance that ZDR would have been infected with the X thanks to that one soldier, but we really don't know what the circumstances behind that incident would be so we can't say for sure.
Other Game Franchises from Competitors: 7 hours of storytelling
Metroid: 5 min dialogue that explains everything
Love this franchise

Samus’ theme.
Matroid Mooglie the Hadaar Bhunta and the Ashkar Behek, I love this language 😌
1:23 monkies
Here's a theory: The Thoha placed a self-destruct switch on SR388 that requires incredible force to destroy it. Due to the Thoha and Zebes Chozo tribes' closeness, Samus learned of the switch before Fusion, and knew that the BSL slamming into it would be forceful enough to destroy SR388.
And, another theory: The EMMI was being controlled by Quiet Robe in a way that would make sure that Samus doesn't register the Chozo as a threat.
The only issue there is that it wasn't Samus' idea to collide the BSL into SR388. She wanted to self destruct the station, Adam suggested setting its orbital path with SR388 instead, using its self destruct to also destroy the planet.
@@VGamingJunkieVT Did Adam hear of how the Thoha were planning to destroy SR388 somehow?
@@tysondennis1016
Well, like I said, Adam's intention was for the Station's Self Destruct to be the main factor. At that point in time, it's not like Nintendo planned on the Thoha being a thing.
And Samus completely overlooked that device during her first visit to SR388.
This scene reminded me of Stargate… mesmerizing!
I have a question, so with Samus having both chozo and Metriod DNA, does she age as slower than regular humans?
(Preemptive apologies if what I’m about to say sounds…Completely Insane. I’m on the spectrum, and I see the world kinda differently. So bare with me for a second)
Huh, I don’t think this has ever been spotted on the Internet. Look at Samus’ neck when she talks. You can see the Suprahyoids and Infrahyoids doing their thing
(For context to avoid sounding like a mad man, you know how you can See the gulp when you swallow? The same thing happens, but to a subtler degree when you speak(most noticeable making an “Mmmmm” noise). Either seeing things, or they animated that on Samus when she talks)
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Samus' model doesn't have any extra rigging or dynamic materials for the neck in either her gameplay or cutscenes models. I believe that's just the shadows and artifacting of said shadows, but it's super cool that you're able to interpret it in a way!
@@velencourte I see. Oh well
He is a bird!
Yes, he's a birb!
Nobody gonna talk about how the ancient Egyptians worshipped the chozos
New theory unlocked 🔓
@@jamaiplays the Egyptian god Ra has a bird head, I know another has a crocodile head maybe comparable to Ridley or kraid but I don't know as much on him
Samus died from being too unstable
One thing he did not explain was where the Thoha tribe came from.
The backstory of the franchise explains they were scientists and colonizers of SR388
5:21
Cliché villain mistake.
With how gaming industry has collaborated with Netflix these days, I wish Nintendo would make a Netflix exclusive Metroid Origins series animated by the ones that made the Fire Emblem cutscenes
Well given the state of Netflix is, I don’t they will give a crud.
What is the state of Netflix? Did someone take the #1 spot from them? Didn't think Disney+ or Hulu could do it.
@@Aethelia I think they’re referencing how Netflix is just kind of a shit-show right now. They’re canceling shows left and right, and they’re basically hemorrhaging money from what I’ve heard
I would keep Netflix the fuck away from Metroid.

Do you have English Voice for Quiet Robe and Raven Beak?
I think they only speak in the Chozo language. 🤓
Why would you want this spoken in English
@MsUsagi513 Never Mind.
Why would you want anything spoken in English. We should all learn Chozo.
@@Aethelia Yes yes I know.
Sebulba
We need super metroid and Metroid fusion remasterd or remake AND maybe other m remake with better history
Super Metroid definitely. Fusion might be a little too early
Is it quiet robe or raven beak who is pretending to be Adam?
Raven Beak.
Definitely Raven Beak
some n00b told me it was quiet robe when I first got the game.
Horrible Diabolus Ex Machina, cool character and first proper Chozo interaction with Samus but has such a BS anti-climatic death.
You would like Timdeuces opinion then. I found his vids after Dread's storyline was sucha disappointment. It helped me come to the conclusion that Mercury will never make a Metriod game as good as the Primes. Though the fanbois (yes the misspelling is to show my contempt for their antics) may scream about it being a hot take, Metroid storylines are getting worse over time.
