- Welcome, Aztecs!!
Today, as per request, we're deep diving into every small detail from Ocelotl's armor and weapons! Ocelotl is For Honor's newest Aztec Hero, and being Aztec myself, I decided to take a look at all the colors, motifs, symbols, and hidden meanings in Ocelotl's armaments!

Its cool that you an Aztec or the more modern version of that is just giving us insight and a better understanding about the meanings of these words and weapons and culture its really interesting and cool once again peace from the north my friend
Much love and thank you for the support!! Glad you could enjoy the culture!

@@ThorsHammer-1377 really? Where are you from?
@@Christopherson2006 I'm from northern Germany very close to the border of Denmark and that part of northern Germany is called friesia
For more of a lesser known culture, it’s great to see for honor make a Aztec warrior, and have an Aztec commentate on it.
Definitely happy they decided to give us some rep 🫡
the aztecs are probably the most well known precolombian empire besides the incans
@@thenoblepoptart yeah, I mean in todays media.
@@ziox7933 yeah we need more films about them
I am Acolhua-Mexica, my family is from Huexotzinco, Cholollan (Cholula), and Acolhuacan (Texcoco). I’m loving the representation our culture is getting, and I can’t wait for more.
Mexica ma tiyacan! ✊🏽☀️
Us Mexicans have been getting so much representation lately, especially within Mexica roots! Much love bro!🤝🏾👑
@@KingCoatl Quema, our prophecies are coming true. Now is the time for the return of our knowledge, and to rise as a people as Tlatoani Cuauhtemoc spoke. Ma totatzin mitzmopieli noicniuh, May our Father ☀️ watch over you my brother 💪🏽
@@iPhantom287 I definitely try my best to help represent our culture through my channel. Thank you for the kind words! Hope to see you around again brother ☝🏾
The last time someone did a video like this I think was a shaolin reacts to shaolin and I think this really cool and insightful I like learning more like this
Same! I’m glad I was able to share my insight with people like you :)
It would be interesting I think to see a armor set inspired by the armor of the Inca. There was interactions between the Aztecs and Incas, and the unique thing about the Inca is that they had forged proper metal weapons and armor out of copper compared to the rest of Mesoamerica. So Incan inspired armor could be interesting to see just cause it would be different from the other mostly bare chested armor sets that lack proper armor.
I agree! There’s still a lot they could do, and since they’re taking creative liberty, I think it’d be a great opportunity to pull from many mesoamerican cultures. The Aztecs actually had copper tools/weapons as well, such as the tlaximaltepoztli, so I think they could definitely work with that. I’m hoping we get more creative and outlandish armor sets as updates go by :)
Really cool video! Its nice to see a more relevant perspective when looking at this stuff. Lots of the parts of the Aztec aesthetic and culture fascinates me, so I'm really happy this hero is coming out and is so well designed (visually and playstyle wise. In game lore is ehh but that's neither here nor there).
I’m glad I could help share my perspective!! I think they definitely provided a great blend of reality and spruced it up to make it fit their game!!
I'm Guatemalan and I really wish they would put a Mayan warrior, maybe with an axe like our thunder god, Chaac. At least one of our people are being represented in a game. Nice video! 👍
That’s awesome honestly I hope we see something like that in the future! This is definitely a great step for us Hispanics!
They should put kaibil balam.
@@Shikami85 right?! Or Tecum Umam
Now that you mention it, it would be cool to see designs based on hummingbirds due to the correlation with Huitzilopochtli or have his snake sword or a Coyotl and Skull helms, not the mask we have, but the Tlacaelel skull armor seen in codex
Hopefully as more events and updates come out, we can slowly get some outfits inspired by gods!
Hopefully in the future they give him an armor set with different war banners equipped on the back and a helmet set resembling the open faced skull helmets
It's nice to learn more about the culture when I never had too much of an interest in it, there's lots of things I had no idea about until I found these videos and its been fun to hear from someone related to it. Nice Stuff!
Thank you for the support! I’m happy I was able to share my culture with you :D
So glad to have youtubbe recommend me somethin i am interested in. Im always curious and on the lookout for videos of native people or others to respond to their somewhat representation in video games mainly. I was always quite intrigued by the mesoamerican cultures and their idea of dualtity, being life and death. What got me really interested again was shadow of the tomb raider and though its sad Lara wont speak in Nahuatl or Quechua, i still love to imagine the magnificence that those ancient empires mustve had. I really pray we will get more games featuring mesoamerican cultures: The Aztecs, Olmecs, Toltecs, Maya, Inca and the many more.
Be assured that whenever someone lumps them all together in one category im swift to correct them. Love and great interest from Germany🇩🇪
Stay safe and healthy
Shadow of the Tomb Raider was so much fun!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and appreciate the culture!! das ist sehr ausgezeichnet :D
As a mexican, It was so cool to get the Mexica representation finally! I really wish they had added piercings to the one warrior where piercings were super important to the culture.
Glad we got our representation too! And I agree, it would be cool to have an outfit with some face jewelry!
Its always good to see Indigenous Representation.. love from Navajo Tribe
Always! Hope to see more indigenous representation in the main-stream. Much love!!
I love the facts in this vid, I love learning history of different cultures, the gods mainly but this video was better then I imagined!!! Keep up the good work
Glad I was able to share the history behind these pieces! Thanks again for the suggestion :)
@@KingCoatl no problem it was very enjoyable to learn and watch
@@lifeisbaad1793 that means a lot :) thanks again!
For honor is having a event on the 27th for people that come back on in case you’re looking to get back into it
I definitely am! Thanks for the heads up :D
I do hope one of his later armor sets would have him with cotton armor.
That would be cool honestly! In the creation tale I mention, the “lesser” Nanahuatzin actually wears paper clothes made from tree bark, so that also would be a good addition for mythological accuracy!
Yeah, it would be.
such a good video bro, very informative easy to listen too! You did a great job at breaking everything down while keeping it interesting, very excited to see your channel grow!
Thank you for the support! It’s good to know you enjoyed it :D hope to see you around again!
Very nice video! Love how you don't just be hyper critical of the obviously 'video game' parts of the weapons and armour. Very kind hearted video, very informative
Thank you for the support!! I think so many people are too critical when it comes to Ocelotl. Obviously they gotta make it visually/aesthetically pleasing for the gamers :)
It's good to have you back my brother...
Thanks for the support! Long time no see :) hope you’ve been good!
Never thought i would see some representation in this game. Although I am Native American and Mexican, not technically Aztec. i am just thankful for part of my culture to get some representation.
So much media lately has been representing both indigenous and Mexican culture lately, I’m glad we’re able to be represented in such big ways :)
I am fully Mexican and since Mexico was colonised through mixing cultures and races, we could say we partially are. Tenochtitlán, Aztec capital turned into Mexico city, hence the big mix of different races. Though my area in Mexico was more Olmeca/Chichimeca, and almost not populated by pre columbian mesoamericans, unpopulated.
Super cool video!!! Was very interesting! ^^
Thank you for the support!!
I wonder if you ever watched “Apocalypto“ I used to watch that movie all the time and was fascinated by it
I love that movie! I reference it a lot because of the serpentine scene where they outrun the spears 😅
@@KingCoatl bro that movie still gives me chills
@@doodoowater5282 I needa rewatch it. That movie is so good
@@KingCoatl Have fun when you do rewatch it! Have a good day/night!
@@doodoowater5282 you too!
Buen video mi hermano, tlazocamati 🙏
Gracias!! 🫡
Can't wait for a real kyoshin to explain kyoshin
Kinda sad they didn’t give us the shield, its one of the coolest parts of the Aztec drip. But the shield spot was already taken by the previous hero so what can you do.
The Aztecs are such a fascinating culture and people. They’re just so different and exotic compared to the rest of the world, probably owing to the Americas separation from the rest of the world. The only equivalents being some of the first Bronze Age kingdoms and empires and some pacific cultures. They’re advanced and sophisticated with colossal temple cities and complex government, yet savage and ferocious with flint, copper and obsidian weaponry, sacrificing their enemies in bloody rituals to the gods.
I’ve been reading accounts from actual Conquistadors, particularly Bernal Diaz’s account called The Conquest Of New Spain. It’s a fascinating read and the Spaniards really feel like strangers in a strange land. It’ll always be the question as to what would’ve happened if the Aztecs managed to survive those initial conquerors. I’m fascinated as to the religious realm, with Aztec society built around sacrifice, and Christianity being centred around Jesus, who is the last sacrifice. Could you imagine a Aztec/Christian hybrid religion?
It’s definitely interesting to imagine a world where the Aztec Empire never collapsed. They’re definitely one of the most interesting cultures to learn about, especially considering how they’re barely 500 years away from our own civilization. I agree with the shield, i wish we would’ve gotten that instead. Glad to see you take interest in this topic!
Saludos hermano good content
Saludos! Thank you for the support!!
Buen video bro
There are two versions of Nahuatl, the classic version it is pronounced Ocelot" still spelled the same but in Traditional new version you do pronounce the "tl"
I prefer the Classic sounds correct
Classical is also Ocelotl. ninahuatlatoa, I speak Nahuatl both classical and Huasteca.
@@iPhantom287 yes it is spelled the same i was speaking on the Pronunciation
@@lopez3136 You can pronounce the tl as a T because it is better than pronouncing the L hard, but the tl is the most unique and distinct sound in our language. The T instead of the “clicking” TL is more for modern speakers who have trouble pronouncing the TL.
@@iPhantom287 thats basically what i said
I would like if you gave your thoughts on the lore and story behind this character. RavenKnight has videos reading them if you're interested.
I’m a bit disappointed that as of character launch we won’t have an Axolotl themed armor set. Seeing as the salamander is regional to the Aztecs and is named in honor of Xolotl
Xolotl not Quetzalcoatl
@@derp-7274 thank you, fixed
@@sovietstarfishproductions5019 thanks and I also agree honestly I'm surprised for honor hasn't done skins for characters who have a modern day impact in ways
For example like pegan metal skins for vikings
And things like that
Basically skins for characters that give modern impact in a way and an axolotl skin for Ocelotl would be an amazing experience
That would be cool honestly! Axolotls are actually named after the Nahuatl words for Water “Atl” and Dog “Xolo”. Combining the words makes Axolotl, and creates their namesake, Water Dog :D
@@KingCoatl there is so much potential for him other than Axolotl and the other skins what do you think he should get in the future?
I think a metal event featuring a version of pegan(viking) and prehispanic would be perfect since those genres already exist and it'd be a unique take
I have a question which macuahuiti is the most accurately depicted in this game out of I’m guessing the first 3
Judging off appearances, the first two definitely derive from history, while the third takes some creatively liberty, as Aztecs did not use metal as often (though they were known to use copper tools to a degree). I also think the third to last, the gold macuahuitl, would be similar in tone to weapons used during spiritual/religious practices, as recent archeological finds have revealed Aztecs used gold-accented Atlatls (spear throwers) in such ceremonies
Real Aztec reacts to For Honor: Wow that's really accurate, you can see they did their research
Real Shaolin reacts to For Honor: *hits ubisoft with a stick*
Hi! I don’t know if your familiar with warhammer 40K at all, but Im trying to make a Aztec based space marine chapter, but I’m having a hard time getting the colors down, and I wondered if you had any suggestions?
Of course! Thanks for the question :D depending on what you had in mind, I’d have a few suggestions. I’m not too familiar with the game, but you could either base your colors off the theme of a certain god, or certain colors in general.
Red and white would make a nice combination, as the color red often symbolized Blood, the Sun, and War: the latter two being synonymous with the patron deity of War and the Sun Huitzilopochtli.
If you wanted a darker look, you could base it off of Tezcatlipoca: The Smoking Mirror. He was the god of the night sky, and was often depicted with black and sometimes yellow.
If you wanted more general Aztec/Nahuatl colors, turquoise has been prominent in many codices as one of the most valuable colors to the Aztecs. I think pairing that with a burnt orange color would look nice :)
Hope this helps!! 👑💚
just now seeing this but in my culture the sun and moon god are the mountain lion and owl.
I thought the green was an alligator 😂
I guess it could be, but alligators aren’t usually multicolored on their patterns, and aren’t native to Mexico 😅
I had a question about some of the priest masks.
A couple of them have fangs coming out that are very visually similar to Asian depictions of demons (like Oni), as far as I can tell the only depictions of Mesoamerican art I've seen with similar fangs are very modern. Is it an aesthetic choice purely or is there an example of it from an ancient depictions? If you have an example that would be great!
Also in the weapons there are a couple with Shark teeth used for the blades, was that even accessible to the Aztecs or used by them bc as far as I know only Pacific Islanders such as the Moari had similar weapons?
Thanks!
On the point of the shark teeth, to be fair, the Aztecs are sea faring in the For Honor fiction (to allow them to come in force) so fair enough
Thanks for the questions!
The mask itself is actually a reference to the rain god Tlaloc, who's often depicted with multiple fangs, and a forked tongue
As for the shark teeth, Mayans were actually historically tracked to have made some use of them. However, and interesting find with recent decades have yielded both “swordfish” (though I believe they’re actually sawfish) and shark’s teeth being part of offerings within the Templo Mayor, which is in Tenochtitlan (where Ocelotl is from) as far as their use in weapons, it was not a common occurrence, as they would instead use obsidian, as well as even copper within some tools!
Hope this helps!! :)
just askign for curiosity , did aztecs rly had the skull whistle that was shown in the trailer? the one thatreplicates the scream of a human?
They did! Historically, it’s still theorized how many uses they had, and if it was used for combat or not. However, it was found on the corpse of a sacrificial victim in a temple dedicated to the wind god, so it was definitely used for sacrifice!
@@KingCoatl damn that’s cool af
You are an Aztec as in one of many cultures that were part of the Aztec empire
Yup! Many tribes and people came together to make the Aztecs :)
I've been trying to find a translation of some of his voice lines. Mainly the willy wanka one. I'm a brit with the humor of a 12 yo so it cracks me up.
So if you want it means I'd love to find out.
Its been hard to find all his voice lines, but if I ever find a complete one, I'll be more than happy to translate them, especially the willy one XD
Appreciate the support!!
I made a mahchuatle, like to see
I’d love to see :D
For Honor for Nintendo Switch
Mexica please.
Gb
How do you know you're aztec?
DNA tests from my family, and of course stories passed down from my ancestors/great grandparents. Considering the fact I’m also Mexican, it’s not that far of a conclusion :)
@@KingCoatl oh okay was just wondering since there were a ton of of different tribes in Mexico besides aztecs and curious as to how you could pinpoint which one your ancestors were from
@@2Scandalousthe Aztec empire was actually composed from multiple tribes residing in the Latin region, so their regional influence is pretty vast!
@@KingCoatl I mean if you go back far enough you're african we all are I've never understood the draw of where our ancestors were born but that's me
@@Nero-Caesar well I’m not a scientist, but I think it’s more-so related to our concentration of ethnicity. I, for example, was born in America, but have living relatives directly from Mexico who have migrated here in recent generations. Im sure I’m mixed with more things the further you track it (obviously Mexico wasn’t always occupied by humans), but my most highly concentrated ethnicity is Mexican
What are you doing instead of giving us our gold? ~Spanish conquistador
Qbole gente
Is there a fancy language you learned from your parents?
English LOL
They could made Ocelotl more historic accuracy but couldn't with Afeera, seems they have Arabic-phobia
What?
The problem is their male female pattern they gotta do. The afeera were based off manluks and is honestly disrespectful to Arabics. Also kind of a nitpicky point I can turn the Knights and viking black even though they are European and samurai + wu Lin are Asian but can't turn medjay white.
