I love Ceroba because she knows she’s in the wrong and doesn’t try to claim she’s right. She justifies her actions, yes, but honestly her justifications feel more like her trying to convince herself more than Clover.
When helping make this boss, I really tried to push Ceroba and her expressions to be as pained but also scary as possible. Both in a sad/physically pained way but your also fighting someone whose fighting themselves, scary way. Shattering both her shield and mask is symbolic of breaking the barriers of not only between her and her friends but to remove her own "mask"...Underneath that facade is a A broken person, a regretful person, someone who made the worst choices and now has to live with them. We all make stupid decisions when we're at our lowest, especially when given Impossible odds... some mistakes are just more costly than others... Despite this, shes still determined to hang on to the little chance that she has left, even if she is misguided. When were frustrated and losing, we scream out, both in an emotional sense, AND anime fight sense in this case lol. She is stubborn in the worst ways, even with the best intentions. That's what Ceroba is to me, I don't know how other devs and the main writers would say but that was my mindset. It can be hard to convey that with the the limits of sprites and small animations. I'm extremely happy something like this has happened and can show more of that emotion. The pain, the screaming, the lyrics. All nailed. MOTI, YOU ROCK
Exactly, I'm tired of some fans just oversimplifying her actions and making it seem much worse than it was, yes it was a bad fuck up, but she was also under alot of pressure
Thank you so much for your insight on Ceroba, it's always so wonderful to fascinating about the process of these labors of love. She is such a beautiful, tragic, and complicated character and I'm so thrilled our interpretation could convey some of your original intentions! Thank you for your hard work!
Ceroba is by far my favorite character in the game because of just how in depth she is. So many people look at her from a surface perspective when they don't seem to realize that she's a mother who lost everything. She has a chance to fix things and save a loved one. Even if it means becoming a true villain in the eyes of her friends. Parents do some really stupid things for the sake of those they love. Also, I flipped out so hard on those animations, they are BEAUTIFUL!
@@bluemario610 I feel a lot of fandoms unfairly hate on characters who make stupid/bad choices even if they're for in-character reasons. I haven't played Undertale Yellow but just from watching fights and reading info I can tell Ceroba is one of the best examples of a "tragic villain" I've seen and should be a case study in how to write one.
Everyone's talking about how powerful the scream is, but can we take a moment to appreciate how distressed and heartbreaking that crying near the end was?
The line “I swore that she’d be fine. I swore and get I lied” hit me like a freight train, the emotion in this song is amazing, great job to everyone involved
That scream. It gave me genuine goosebumps. The anger in maiden's voice as the hopes and dreams part of the song. The crying at the end after the mask cumbles. Maiden really showed her talent in this song.
Also same singer for World’s End Valentine. I was so absolutely sure they’d bring Maiden back in that I paused the ad and immediately checked the description to confirm I’m right
Not to mention the lines NO MORE HOPE, NO MORE LIES, ARE YOU FINALLY SATISFIED?... god, it's beautiful and painful. How did the VA convey such genuine emotion?
@@Grid-the-goofy I wouldn't say the entire musical, it's definitely better than Your best Nightmare (Tied with Finale for me), but it's definitely not better than Hopes and Dream + Save The World, Battle against a True Hero, ect
“Just needed to get that off my chest. Like I needed to get EVERYTHING ELSE off my chest. Seriously, I NEEDED to scream about all that or I was going to combust.”
Everyone criticizes Ceroba's character design by saying she's a bad character because what happened is her fault -- when that's the whole point of her story. She made a decision that was a huge mistake, one she could have easily to avoided in hindsight. She knows it's her fault and that's why it hurts her so much more. And now all she wants is JUSTICE, for Chujin and for Kanako.
Also some people complain that her arc took over near the end which they didn’t like considering it pretty much spanned between 2 and a half locations ALPHY’S CHARACTER ARC LITERALLY DID THE SAME THING
Fun fact if you kill either Starlo or Ceroba on a non genocide (or whatever you prefer to call it) run Clover response to whomever searching for the other is the same
Flawless. 100% Flawless. Everything about this. The vocals, the lyrics, the art, everything perfectly adds up to one of my favorite videos you guys have ever made. That SCREAM... if that doesn't show the pure, endless bout of pain Ceroba has been through and the guilt she's been forced to bear for so long, i don't know what else would. Massive props to Maiden and everyone who worked on this.
@@erikm8373 i think it's about how one of them *will* die in fights like this, so they're either venting this to someone that will die anyway, therefor it having no real impact, OR they're venting it out because it's potentially the last opportunity to let it out before they kick the bucket too could also be some kind of desperate emotional damage i suppose? doubt they're really thinking the murderer would take pity on them though
No. You shouldn’t be allowed to make things this good and beautiful with no introduction. This video shouldn’t be called a “byte” That undervalues the video’s beauty. I hope you enjoyed making these and here’s to a million views!
Did you know that theirs no word to describe a mother who lost their child? Theirs something tragic too it, that a mother should have to mourn the loss of their child. while her actions are inexcusable, her actions are laid in tragedy and regret. And she's such a compelling character too, I love Ceroba so much
The absolute desperation and heartbreak in Ceroba's voice really hits hard if you know all she's been through.

3:18 One thing from the original song you captured absolutely PERFECTLY here (on top of everything else) is the transition from intense anger and aggression to something softer, sadder, but equally inense from this point on. She has the growl in her voice after the Hopes and Dreams drop that just COMPLETELY dissappears at this point. Nicely done there!

This... it's hard to put into words how breathtaking this video is. The lyrics perfectly encapsulate Ceroba, her determination and regret over her mistakes being shown well through them. None of it feels out of character for her. And the singing... good freakin' lord. The descent from determination, to regret, to rage, to finally broken tears is done absolutely perfectly, and I HEAVILY commend MaidenOfMine for translating Ceroba's feelings and emotions through her singing. I'll, like many other commenters, point out both the pained scream and her crying at the end as heavy highlights. It's really hard to see those emotions acted well in media, but it sounds just so convincing here! Not to discredit the visuals, mind you. Of course, the art piece used is absolutely gorgeous, but the gameplay footage is timed perfectly well to certain events in the song (Ceroba injecting Kanako coupled with the lyrics at that moment working really well.) And helps that the fight is still stunning to look at, even around 2 months after playing the game for the first time. Honestly? I don't even think this is a video game song with lyrics. It's a borderline work of art. Kudos, MOTI.
Damn the voice acting here absolutely hit it out of the park. I don't know anything about this game but I was completely sold on that performance holy crap
@@berdinaction Finally, an opportunity to say my theory on this! sans and Undyne bleed when you cut them, so my working theory is that A. Monsters do have organs and blood and bones, they just turn to dust when they die B. Monsters are made of Magic, so the magic decided when would be a dramatic time to add blood to a scene
I love when after she screams we can hear for just a second her hoarse, really monstrous voice but after a secod she came back to her normal voice. I like to interpret that she is really angry, but she needs to focus on the fight and can't let her emotions take over. Maybe im over-analyzing it, but it just send shivers down my spine and I love it.
I know I’m late but I have to say that Maiden’s performance is just phenomenal. She captured Ceroba’s emotions perfectly. When she says “You’ll find that reality is often disappointing!” I can feel the anguish from her voice; a mission that she knows will only break her more than she already is. Outstanding work on this song everyone!
THE PAIN AND GRIEF IN HER VOICE, THE EMOTION THAT WAS PUT INTO THIS, THE SCREAM SENT CHILLS DOWN MY ENTIRE BODY MAIDEN COULD NOT HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB
Ceroba's scream when I first heard it in game gave me chills and the scream here in the song was able to give me that same feeling again. A Mother's Love is already a fantastic song filled with so much emotion and this lyrical version did a fantastic job at adding to that emotion. Amazing work as always!
I was vibing along loving the references and the immediate dive into the theme of desperate pessimism vs. justice and then suddenly 0:40 hit and watched in awe as Maiden locked in. And just when I thought my awe was over, that gutteral scream at 2:48 sent me reeling once again, with the song following tearing at Ceroba's vocal chords, leaving with a heart breaking last cry at 4:25... Awesome work Maiden!
This will likely be a common thing you will hear in the comments, but I will take the opportunity to thank the team for making this. From the art, to the lyrics, to the voice acting. All of these factors add up to making a truly brilliant song. Again, I thank the team who made this, along with the team that made Undertale Yellow; without the inital game and soundtrack, this video would not exist. Thanks also goes to Toby Fox, who not only made the original game and soundtrack (which motifs are taken from), but also helped the Undertale Yellow team deal with the issues with Materia Collective and their CEO. A part of me hopes that the songs taken down from the original musical you made will be able to be restored. That may be a limited hope, but the thought is there. May you have a nice day, and best of luck with the other songs in the Bytes (the Genocide and Neutral final bosses, at least. El Balidor may be presumed...) [edit on 13/07: Saw that the Musical Bytes for the last two months is being made. While we may not get the 'other songs' I listed above, we did have a good selection given to us. We cannot complain about that. This is also assuming that there are not hidden songs in the premier, nor that will appear in a potential second bytes video.]
The voice is so chilling, you can hear the sadness and heartbreak in her voice. This is a woman who lost everything and is willing to do anything to fix it.
Undertale fans: Poor Asriel Undertale fans after playing undertale yellow: Wow poor Ceroba Undertale fans and undertale yellow fans: Asriel and Ceroba deserve some love and not this LOVE actual love Edit: This is the most likes I’ve ever gotten, thanks a lot.
Me every playthrough after Undertale Yellow: "NO FORGIVENESS! ONCE A FLOWEY ALWAYS A FLOWEY! Oh shit you just broke the barrier? UGH, FINE!" *exasperated sigh* "I'LL HUG YOU, BUT YOU BETTER NOT KILL MY SOULMATE AGAIN!"
oh my god. This was so good??? I think I cried a bit at 2:53. The emotion and desperation was so overwhelming?? Maiden was the perfect choice to be ceroba, AND ALSO TGE ART??? PERFECT. another banger from MOTI. Edit: I’ve listened to this about 20-50 times since this released yesterday . ITS SO GOOD IM GONNA CRY.
Well alphys also had a crush on asgore so i'd say shes bi, and the only other dinasour i can think of if susie who is implied to have a crush on noelle so yeah you're right on her lol
THE SCREAM IS SO GOOD OMG. The amount of passion and emotion in this is INSANE. The vocals, the art, the lyrics, the callback to Hopes and Dreams with the "No more hope" line at the same time as the AUDIO REFERENCE TO HOPES AND DREAMS- THIS COVER IS SO GOOD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! One of the best songs I've ever heard on this channel! And of course, Maiden absolutely nails the vocals. Simply phenomenal.
So I've been listening to other lyricized video game songs, both on MOTI and other channels (e.g. Juno), and if you told me that the same singer put a Wild West drawl on Esther Winchester and an anguished scream into Ceroba, I wouldn't believe you if I hadn't seen Maiden in the credits of both. Unbelievably well done.
And the song is simply GORGEOUS, especially when Ceroba screams, it gives me goosebumps, even though I don’t understand the lyrics, they really did a good job of keeping it that way I read the translation, I started crying, especially because of the last two lines
For anyone who wants to sing along to this, here are the full lyrics: [Intro] So... it's come to this. My last resort. For Chujin. For Kanako. For the future of Monsterkind! [Phase 2] Nowhere to run, nowhere left to hide The game is done, it's down to you and I I've fought my wars, I've lost and made my peace I'm fighting for the day we are released! When you trust in justice You'll find that reality is often disappointing! Don't you dare, with that glare You're judgement cannot enjoin me The noise that's destroying us Finally will end I will make amends If this damns my friends Let them see me as a demon While I dream of freedom, for I've No more tears to shed Stood among the dead Stained my faith in red Those who need a superhero Must make peace with darker deeds Say your goodbyes This only ends when someone dies Let my sins all be remembered Mingled with my daughter's cries!

[Phase 3] How could you hope to judge me now With the things I've carried Knowing my tale shows you how Deep go the holes they're buried! _My love is gone!_ _And I live on!_ Held my child in my arms I swore that she'd be fine _I swore and yet I lied_ Well, maybe I was always lying Now there's nothing left to hide! No more tears to shed Stood among the dead Stained my faith in red Those who need a superhero _Must make peace with darker deeds!_ [Phase 4] _Ah... _*_aaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!_* _No more hope_ _No more lies_ Are you finally satisfied? I never claimed that I was a saint As I drown in this sea of mistakes One ray of light Got me through the darkest nights It's the promise of a new tomorrow Where I can do one thing right Tried to move on For the ones who have gone But I cannot live, CANNOT FORGIVE The things that I have done! Carried by the whims of fate No paths left but the one I make I have but one more life to take One more child, _TO BE SLAUGHERED_ Let creation hear my cries The pain of premature goodbyes This only ends when someone dies 'Til then, the *fires of hell grow hotter!* *Blood already stained my hands* *Before I met the child of man* *So I must finish what began!* _I'm so tired of treading water!_ *PUSH HAS LONG PAST COME TO SHOVE* *AND WE SHALL SEE THE SKY ABOVE* *LET NO ONE DOUBT **_A MOTHER'S LOVE_* _For her husband and her daughter!_ _(Cries)_
To preface, I have not played Undertale Yellow nor know what it is, but I have played Undertale. The emotion in this song is so raw, so powerful, so moving. I've listened to this song five times now and I've teared up every time. That yell scared me the first time I heard it. Grief, Anger, Sorrow, Annoyance, Regret, all emotions I felt in that yell. The escalation and de-escalation of her voice towards the end of the song broke my heart. The lyrics do a fantastic job of painting the picture for someone who hasn't experienced this first hand. If this is the final boss for the game, then this is an incredible final boss. The instrumentals give me goosebumps with how the flow, but the flow has moments where it becomes violent, then calm, before erupting into a volcanic crescendo to invoke a feeling of despair in the player. "No more hope, no more lies. Are you finally satisfied?" What a line. Maiden has a beautiful voice and her vocal range is very impressive. Just doing the vocals and trying to invoke the needed emotions in order to portray them effectively had to be physically taxing, but the pay of is nothing short of a masterpiece. Thank you for the hard work you all put into this.
MOTI. STOP MAKING ME FREAKING DEPRESED "let them see me as a demon" and "i swore she would be fine. I swore and yet i lied" edit:I don't do this much but thanks for me likes :3
The voice acting was phenomenal, oh my god… fits Ceroba perfectly and the sound of pain in the vocals is so well done. The additional dialogue at the start and the scream being vocalized are also nice attentions to detail that just shows that these guys care immensely for the source material. Awesome job 👏
DUUUUDE OH MY GOD THIS IS SO GOOD?? THE VOICE ACTRESS FUCKING KILLED IT DUDE, TTHE EMOTION, THE CRYING AT THE END, THE SCREAM SHE LET OUT. AAAUUGH ITS PEAK

Lyrics:
0:02 - Intro (Spoken):
_So… it’s come to this._
_My last resort._
_For Chujin…_
_For Kanako…_
_For the future of Monsterkind!_
0:17 - A Mother’s Love
Nowhere to run, nowhere left to hide
The game is done, it’s down to you and I
I’ve fought my wars, I’ve lost and made my peace
I’m fighting for the day we are released!
When you trust in justice
You’ll find that reality is often disappointing!
Don’t you dare, with that glare
Your judgement cannot enjoin me
The noise that’s destroying us
Finally will end
I will make amends
If this damns my friends
Let them see me as a demon
While I dream of freedom, for I’ve
No more tears to shed
Stood among the dead
Stained my faith in red
Those who need a superhero
Must make peace with darker deeds
Say your goodbyes
This only ends when someone dies
Let my sins all be remembered
Mingled with my daughters cries!
Nowhere to run, nowhere left to hide
The game is done, it’s down to you and I
I’ve fought my wars, I’ve lost and made my peace
I’m fighting for the day we are released!
How could you hope to judge me now
With the things I’ve carried
Knowing my tale shows you how
Deep go holes they’re buried!
My love is gone
And I live on
Held my child in my arms
I swore that she’d be fine
I swore and yet I lied
Well, maybe I was always lying
Now there’s nothing left to hide!
No more tears to shed
Stood among the dead
Stained my faith in red
Those who need a superhero
Must make peace with darker deeds
*_HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!_*
No more hope
No more lies
Are you finally satisfied?
I never claimed that I was a saint
As I drown in this sea of mistakes
One ray of light
Got me through the darkest nights
It’s the promise of a new tomorrow
Where I can do one thing right
Tried to move on
For the ones who have gone
But I cannot live, cannot forgive
The things that I have done!
Carried by the whims of fate
No paths left but the one I make
I have but one more life to take
One more child to be slaughtered
Let creation hear my cries
The pain of premature goodbyes
This only ends when someone dies!
‘Til then, the fires of hell grow hotter!
Blood already stained my hands
Before I met the child of man
So I must finish what began!
I’m so tired of treading water!
Push has long past come to shove
And we shall see the sky above
Let no one doubt a mother’s love
For her husband and her daughter!
_Sobbing_
Thanks 🙏

->HAAAAAAAAAAAH
CEROBA! GIVE US THE DUCK!
Ok the sheer emotion Maiden gave here is absolutely incredible, her scream at phase 2 caused me to physically jump.
The scream is actually in phase 3
Just thought I’d point that out
i think they recorded her stubbing her toe for that scream /j
@Coco50k it's actually at the beginning of phase 4
Kinda cool that the subtitles turn pink
Yeah like jeez the raw emotion gave me chills
If this is not the song that plays at the end of the musical bytes then I think we all know what it’s really gonna be
“Dodge the bullets, clover”
Or zenith
I'd like to agree, but I have no mouth
See that heart?-
@@ShnoodleMc No shit! See that heart? No shit! Happy birthday! ...It's not your birthday.
Shayy reference?
Timestamps for the various phases
Phase 1, Devotion - 0:17
Phase 2, Desperation - 1:41
Phase 3, Determination - 2:48
This... it's hard to put into words how breathtaking this video is. The lyrics perfectly encapsulate Ceroba, her determination and regret over her mistakes being shown well through them. None of it feels out of character for her. And the singing... good freakin' lord. The descent from determination, to regret, to rage, to finally broken tears is done absolutely perfectly, and I HEAVILY commend MaidenOfMine for translating Ceroba's feelings and emotions through her singing. I'll, like many other commenters, point out both the pained scream and her crying at the end as heavy highlights. It's really hard to see those emotions acted well in media, but it sounds just so convincing here!
Not to discredit the visuals, mind you. Of course, the art piece used is absolutely gorgeous, but the gameplay footage is timed perfectly well to certain events in the song (Ceroba injecting Kanako coupled with the lyrics at that moment working really well.) And helps that the fight is still stunning to look at, even around 2 months after playing the game for the first time.
Honestly? I don't even think this is a video game song with lyrics. It's a borderline work of art. Kudos, MOTI.
Damn the voice acting here absolutely hit it out of the park. I don't know anything about this game but I was completely sold on that performance holy crap
4:05
"Blood already stained my hands
Before i met the child of man"
...I'M.....
This prison to hold... me?
But... Monsters doesn't have blood??
@@berdinaction Finally, an opportunity to say my theory on this! sans and Undyne bleed when you cut them, so my working theory is that
A. Monsters do have organs and blood and bones, they just turn to dust when they die
B. Monsters are made of Magic, so the magic decided when would be a dramatic time to add blood to a scene
@@DOGBOUND1128toby fox just forgot that monsters dont bleed and decided that sans does bleed
I love when after she screams we can hear for just a second her hoarse, really monstrous voice but after a secod she came back to her normal voice. I like to interpret that she is really angry, but she needs to focus on the fight and can't let her emotions take over. Maybe im over-analyzing it, but it just send shivers down my spine and I love it.
The anger is a mask worn over her pain.
"let creation hear my cries, the pain of premature goodbyes" my favorite part
4:30 ...

THIS IS NOT A MERE BYTE Y'ALL ATE THR ENTIRE DAMN TABLE GODDDD THIS IS GORGEOUS
hi flowey :3
hello flowey
I know I’m late but I have to say that Maiden’s performance is just phenomenal. She captured Ceroba’s emotions perfectly. When she says “You’ll find that reality is often disappointing!” I can feel the anguish from her voice; a mission that she knows will only break her more than she already is. Outstanding work on this song everyone!
3:06 still LOVE how if you go fast enough, that attack lines up with the music
THE SCREAM MADE ME HAVE GOOSEBUMPS GOODNESS
Wow… truly amazing work.
Oh hello, Bub8les here to enjoy a fellow A Mother’s Love cover creator?
THE PAIN AND GRIEF IN HER VOICE, THE EMOTION THAT WAS PUT INTO THIS, THE SCREAM SENT CHILLS DOWN MY ENTIRE BODY MAIDEN COULD NOT HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB
0:31 ceroba becomes thanos real
Ceroba's scream when I first heard it in game gave me chills and the scream here in the song was able to give me that same feeling again. A Mother's Love is already a fantastic song filled with so much emotion and this lyrical version did a fantastic job at adding to that emotion. Amazing work as always!
I was vibing along loving the references and the immediate dive into the theme of desperate pessimism vs. justice and then suddenly 0:40 hit and watched in awe as Maiden locked in. And just when I thought my awe was over, that gutteral scream at 2:48 sent me reeling once again, with the song following tearing at Ceroba's vocal chords, leaving with a heart breaking last cry at 4:25... Awesome work Maiden!
This will likely be a common thing you will hear in the comments, but I will take the opportunity to thank the team for making this.
From the art, to the lyrics, to the voice acting. All of these factors add up to making a truly brilliant song.
Again, I thank the team who made this, along with the team that made Undertale Yellow; without the inital game and soundtrack, this video would not exist. Thanks also goes to Toby Fox, who not only made the original game and soundtrack (which motifs are taken from), but also helped the Undertale Yellow team deal with the issues with Materia Collective and their CEO.
A part of me hopes that the songs taken down from the original musical you made will be able to be restored. That may be a limited hope, but the thought is there.
May you have a nice day, and best of luck with the other songs in the Bytes (the Genocide and Neutral final bosses, at least. El Balidor may be presumed...)
[edit on 13/07: Saw that the Musical Bytes for the last two months is being made. While we may not get the 'other songs' I listed above, we did have a good selection given to us. We cannot complain about that. This is also assuming that there are not hidden songs in the premier, nor that will appear in a potential second bytes video.]
11/10 acting, 12/10 vocals, and 20/10 perfection. Well done!
30/10 fox
The math isnt mathing
@@xoinkersx380Me thinks they forgot how to math because they were crying too hard lol
10/10 tails
i love everything about this, maiden absolutely popped off with this performance, the scream at 2:50 was amazing too
i just wanna give her a hug tbh, she looks like she needs one.
The voice is so chilling, you can hear the sadness and heartbreak in her voice. This is a woman who lost everything and is willing to do anything to fix it.
Undertale fans: Poor Asriel
Undertale fans after playing undertale yellow: Wow poor Ceroba
Undertale fans and undertale yellow fans: Asriel and Ceroba deserve some love and not this LOVE actual love
Edit: This is the most likes I’ve ever gotten, thanks a lot.
Me every playthrough after Undertale Yellow: "NO FORGIVENESS! ONCE A FLOWEY ALWAYS A FLOWEY! Oh shit you just broke the barrier? UGH, FINE!" *exasperated sigh* "I'LL HUG YOU, BUT YOU BETTER NOT KILL MY SOULMATE AGAIN!"
The 2th "Those who need a super hero must make peace with Darker Deeds" Part was simply amazing
2:40 THOSE WHO NEED A SUPERHERO MUST MAKE PEACE WITH DARKER DEEDS! edit: I love this song
*screaming noices*
No more Hope!
No more lies!
Are you finally satisfied?
I never claimed that I was a Saint,as I drown In this sea of mistakes...
welp i have a new favorite MOTI song
(and i actually commented, this is rare for me)
gotta say I agree
No kidding! My favorite before this was Showdown!, but this.... THIS IS SO GOOD! (Showdown! is still my second favorite tho)
Moti zero two : you cheater
That scream tho. You can hear all of her pain😢😭😔
Edit: “No more hopes. No more lies” I love her parallels with Asgore in story and lyrics.
Ceroba Ketsukane is my favorite Disney Princess, 'nuff said.
@@concertpapyrus8361 It always has something to do with a hero trying to save the princess am I right?
@@agente3892 I know right!? Like, what is up with that!?
She's one billion times better than asha from wish
The pure emotion in Ceroba's scream... gets me every time
oh my god. This was so good??? I think I cried a bit at 2:53. The emotion and desperation was so overwhelming?? Maiden was the perfect choice to be ceroba, AND ALSO TGE ART??? PERFECT. another banger from MOTI.
Edit: I’ve listened to this about 20-50 times since this released yesterday . ITS SO GOOD IM GONNA CRY.
0:11 CAN OF COKE
Y E S
2:48 YES!! That was just fantastic!
There are always two constants in every Undertale/Deltarune universe
1. Dinosaurs are always lesbians
2. Parents are never allowed to be happy
Well alphys also had a crush on asgore so i'd say shes bi, and the only other dinasour i can think of if susie who is implied to have a crush on noelle so yeah you're right on her lol
@@mario_cipher933 Wait where was it stated that she had a crush on Asgore? I don't remember that
@@cuddlebug9699 The quiz show! If when mettaton asks "Who does alphy's have a crush on" you answer with Asgore, its also correct
@@mario_cipher933susie is a lizard...
the combination from the piano with Ceroba's cry at 4:29 is just heavenly
THE SCREAM IS SO GOOD OMG. The amount of passion and emotion in this is INSANE. The vocals, the art, the lyrics, the callback to Hopes and Dreams with the "No more hope" line at the same time as the AUDIO REFERENCE TO HOPES AND DREAMS- THIS COVER IS SO GOOD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! One of the best songs I've ever heard on this channel! And of course, Maiden absolutely nails the vocals. Simply phenomenal.
0:11 she made it in MAN ON THE INTERNET
Maiden was just perfect as Ceroba, she made this song just great!
1:02 i think is maybe the best line ive heard story telling wise
Only 3 songs left…
“IN THIS WORLD ITS KILL OR BE KILLED”
“The zenith of monsterkind”
“DANZA”
says who
Trial by Fury: Are you sure about that?
Deal 'em out: Hello there.
TENTH LEVEL LOCKDOWN: "....."
END OF THE LINE- :
So I've been listening to other lyricized video game songs, both on MOTI and other channels (e.g. Juno), and if you told me that the same singer put a Wild West drawl on Esther Winchester and an anguished scream into Ceroba, I wouldn't believe you if I hadn't seen Maiden in the credits of both.
Unbelievably well done.
That end part to the Esther Winchester song was fire.
Also, y'know... the ENTIRETY of this song.
The magic of vouce acting.
1:34 I have recorded every Ben 10 episode
I'm smiling and I hate it
@@W.d_GasterPAPYRUS REFERENCE?!
Also, holy frick, you're everywhere in these comment sections! I said this before! We just keep crossing paths!
@@W.d_Gaster Holy shit it's Wing Gaster the royal scientist .
Man on the internet never disappoints!!!!
Facts.
And the song is simply GORGEOUS, especially when Ceroba screams, it gives me goosebumps, even though I don’t understand the lyrics, they really did a good job of keeping it that way
I read the translation, I started crying, especially because of the last two lines
2:50 (hearing Ceroba's scream ...it fills you with a great power)
And DETERMINATION (even if not much)
Hearing Ceroba's scream... Makes you feel a sense of justice
I’ve listened to this three times now and each one was better than the last, everything about this is amazing. Bravo!
For anyone who wants to sing along to this, here are the full lyrics:
[Intro]

How could you hope to judge me now

Knowing my tale shows you how
Deep go the holes they're buried!
_My love is gone!_

Sir I compliment your service to the community, you deserve a slice of pizza
HOW DID MAIDEN NOT DIED WHEN SINGING THIS MY LUNGS CANNOT HANDLE IT
@@bsemz5836 ik right the end is so hard
3:36 Epic art work!
To preface, I have not played Undertale Yellow nor know what it is, but I have played Undertale.
The emotion in this song is so raw, so powerful, so moving. I've listened to this song five times now and I've teared up every time. That yell scared me the first time I heard it. Grief, Anger, Sorrow, Annoyance, Regret, all emotions I felt in that yell. The escalation and de-escalation of her voice towards the end of the song broke my heart. The lyrics do a fantastic job of painting the picture for someone who hasn't experienced this first hand. If this is the final boss for the game, then this is an incredible final boss. The instrumentals give me goosebumps with how the flow, but the flow has moments where it becomes violent, then calm, before erupting into a volcanic crescendo to invoke a feeling of despair in the player. "No more hope, no more lies. Are you finally satisfied?" What a line. Maiden has a beautiful voice and her vocal range is very impressive. Just doing the vocals and trying to invoke the needed emotions in order to portray them effectively had to be physically taxing, but the pay of is nothing short of a masterpiece. Thank you for the hard work you all put into this.
MOTI. STOP MAKING ME FREAKING DEPRESED "let them see me as a demon" and "i swore she would be fine. I swore and yet i lied" edit:I don't do this much but thanks for me likes :3
This was one of the better ones. Good pacing,singing, and lyrics. Honestly 10/10
Wow. Everything about this is perfect. The lyrics, the art, and that SCREAM. Bravo.
This actually rules so hard. Everything about this is of exceptional quality.
Oh dear. MOTI, you've done this song Justice. The art, the lyrics and Maiden's singing just. Perfect. Awesome job
Ha... Justice.
HOLY CRAP IT'S WING GASTER AGAIN!
The voice acting was phenomenal, oh my god… fits Ceroba perfectly and the sound of pain in the vocals is so well done. The additional dialogue at the start and the scream being vocalized are also nice attentions to detail that just shows that these guys care immensely for the source material. Awesome job 👏
Literal chills! This is the best lyrical version of this song!!
FINALLY THE ONE WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR
hands down I think that's the best ceroba artwork I've seen
Quite possibly the BEST song on this channel. The sheer emotions in THAT scream. You know the one.
3:12 Funny how it synchronized with the water geysers as soon she said "sea".
Epic soundtrack as the base + awesome lyrics + really nice singers = MASTER PIECE
DUUUUDE OH MY GOD THIS IS SO GOOD?? THE VOICE ACTRESS FUCKING KILLED IT DUDE, TTHE EMOTION, THE CRYING AT THE END, THE SCREAM SHE LET OUT. AAAUUGH ITS PEAK
Whoever sang this, they deserve a million dollars.
Now.
That's MaidenOfMine, she absolutely eats every time she sings
4:30 Its So Emotional
Okay, gotta admit, that was fucking sick. I felt like I had an obligation to watch this and I'm glad I did. Phenomenal performance. I loved it.
@@ThatGuardenerFan Yup.
No way I found bro😭
AMAZING voicing and art!!!!!!! Maiden you are AMAZING!!!!! The emotion is awesome!
THE VOICE ACTING AND EMOTIONS WERE TOP TIER
god.. these bytes are always so dam good, keep up the great work moti, you always spread joy to me with every post
2:48 Thjs hit me straight in my soul
2:48 You can really hear the pain in that scream, it's amazing!
the line i've stained my faith in red is such a clever hint towards ceroba rocking the Japanese shrine maiden drip
I knew the scream was coming. I knew they'd include it, and I knew it would hit really hard. But it still made me cry when it did.
YOU CANT HIT ME WITH THIS BOMBSHELL OF A VIDEO WHEN IM JUST GOING TO EAT LUNCH!
