This actually has a purpose in smithing: The beat of the song regulates the beats of the hammer, and if you have a specific song for a specific blade, then quenching at say, the end of the second chorus and reheating for another verse and refrain afterwards will produce what has historically been the best results for that blade. I think the method is Jomon? The Ironsands of Japan are quite poor quality Iron, so a method like this that is known to work well, would be extremely useful.
@@ProperDaveXD001 Even then, the more you think about it the more it makes sense: It's a craft you can't rush nor can you wait since the metal's properties change as it cools down, so that'd give a good measure of rhythm and durations. You could even expect songs to have been written for this exact purpose if that's true, wouldn't be crazy.
Indeed, lower quality iron (pig iron as some call it) had to be heated and worked many times before it would be pure and dense enough to be used for something like arms, armour, or even building materials; it makes sense intuitively that working the metal in a proper rhythm would yield more consistent results as well as be more efficient over time. This is also the basis for the "katana folded over 1000 times" meme, it's not so much that folding it a thousand times makes it automatically superior to other swords of fewer folds, its more like if you didn't fold it enough times it would just crack and/or shatter as soon as it hits something harder, ie steel made from high quality, low carbon iron. But anyway... back to listening to this banger of a song.
I gotta say. For as many incredible action scenes Shangri-La Frontier gave us with this season, amazing battles with great animation, immersive scenarions into a gaming ambience, and usage of gaming mechanics to overpower the system, this was the scene that stuck with me the most. This scene is something I've never experienced before. A smith giving his very essence, decades of dedication to his craft, and enough wisdom to fill many books, all being brought down to mold this pair of weapons. I never saw a scene like this before, a truly unique experience like nothing before. I'm completely speechless with how amazing it is and feels.
There’s a lot more scenes like these in movies rather than anime. Not with the same context of course but with just no dialogue and pure cinema experience
This is even cooler with a little context. The fact the weapon remembers all its fights makes this scene a bit more mystical. This was a nice moment to remember all the tough fights and how far he's come.
When you are a blacksmith: The hammer is your instrument The anvil, is your drum The ring of metal, a chorus The fire, your passion Your voice, a lulliby . . . Shaping the soul in the steel.
Though he may be a Rabbit Demi-human but he has the Heart and Soul of a Dwarven Blacksmith Masters of Yore who made mighty spells while hammers fell like ringing bells upon the anvil, whose songs unheard by Men or Elves.

They did this part of the manga justices with that song, it was the most epic moment for the main character showing that not only was he unlocking something amazing, but was bearing witness to a song that no other players have ever heard, that for this rabbit character has been past down from generation to generation.
To those who don't know the amazing context for these types of songs, blacksmithing requires a true rhythm to it. You have to in order to make the blade evenly balanced.
@@osama9501 You can still do blacksmithing as a hobby. It's a bit on the pricey side of things but loads of people do it as hobbies or even as freelance work! You'd be surprised how much hand made blacksmithing goes for!
I just like to think. He made this song up on the spot. The pauses are him trying to find the words to continue. I mean, sure could be something he signs to himself to impart a bit of his soul into his work. Yet, like to think that each weapon he forges. All of them have a different song. Each one possesses unique qualities. Even if the weapon itself is of high quality. There is always that other weapon of his that is a tiny bit better. All because he dropped one banger of a song. ...A Bard Blacksmith.......*Writes this idea down*
I actually had a similar idea for a bard college: the college of blades, bards use music to forge weapons as part of their fibalntest before they graduate in a ritual called "The Blade Song"
What makes a masterpiece? Is it how good something looks? How it sounds? Is it in the writing or the reading? Is it in the emotions it pulls from you? No A masterpiece is all this and more. It is effort and hope and love and care. When you truly put everything you are into the making of a thing. That is a masterpiece. This scene is the culmination of artists, writers, voice actors, and sound designers putting everything they have into a scene not even 10 minutes long. And what for? In 20 years barely anyone will remember this show. In 40 you might not even be able to watch it anymore. Why? Cause it meant something to them. Because they loved what they did. Because they cared. This is a masterpiece.
You know what, it just occurred to me just the level of special treatment that Sunraku is receiving from the game with this. Sunraku is the only person out of presumably millions of players who has heard this song. The game developers made the song specifically for Sunraku or any other player who represented the .001 percent of players I guess the game considered to be a very cream of the crop of players. The idea of unique quests that a very small percentage of players could access is an interesting idea and could be the stuff of gaming legends. Maybe Genshin impact could have a quest hidden to most players except the very best. Something like that would probably make all players strive harder to get good at the game. There are a lot of interesting ideas in this series that would be cool if implemented in real games. It also raises the question if the song was AI made or a very hidden easter egg by the developers. Futhermore, are Vysache and Emul even really AI or are they game developers who garnered a special affection for Sunraku?
While I see your point, I think that would sadly kill the game if ever implemented in Genshin. It'd be one thing if this was implemented into a game where you just buy it once or at most pay a monthly sub to keep playing. But in a game with Gacha elements where you can give money for better results (New characters and stronger weapons and more resin for more artifact attempts), that'd create an environment where players would feel forced to pay money to reach the level of other high-end players. One of the many reasons Genshin has avoided falling off is the lack of a PVP feature. With no players to compete against, F2P and slow spender games don't actually feel like they're behind, allowing them to enjoy the game without truly feeling a power creep unless they try and compare themselves to other players doing Abyss etc. Bringing such a feature would destroy this harmony, and break all good will players have with the company. TLDR: Don't think it's a good idea. People would feel forced to P2W and burn out due to the possibility of throwing money at the screen.
unfortunately, at least for now with current technology and the ideals of upper management being to make as much money as possible spending possibly hundreds of dollars to make 1 scene or quest line that... maybe 30 people will ever see is just not feasible (paying the songwriters, actors, animators, programmers, etc. is just too expensive) But we gamers can dream. This'd be such a cool thing to have in actual games.
It would only work in a single player game for game balance reasons. Look at WoW they tried to have faction specific classes, and even then it was something that was completely open. Ultimately that went away for balance reasons. Having unique quests for just the top players would result in huge balance issues, unless it is basically unique based on the scenario and not the perks.
@@Teampegleg I think something like that only fits the fictional premise of a full body immersion vr game like shangrila frontier is where with your own skill and how well you move enables you to take on much stronger enemies, much like Sunraku that took on enemies of level 80 while he himself at that time was about, 20-30 at the trials. In a real mmo he would be doing miniscule damage pretty much, but in the show it just takes a few hits, out of weapons that he acquired just 2 hours after logging in for the first time mind you. Being arbitrarily rewarded with much stronger weapons than other players that don't even know these exist doesn't make you untouchable. A 30 level scrub can totally compete with a skilled high level player
A song with a consistent rythm i imagine would actually be quite useful to a blacksmith as a source of focus and pacing. Its important to not be too harsh or soft with the blows and to maintain a good enough pace so the metal stays hot long enough to be forged into shape
Seeing this scene I only felt chills. Pure epicness. It reminded me of the songs of the dwarves from Lord of the Rings. The Boss has risen to the highest levels of power, just the image of him hitting the hammer with this song conveys nothing but epicness
Akio Otsuka is such an incredible singer. First heard his chops in Yakuza Like A Dragon where he slayed Adachi's version of Machine Gun Kiss, and here he's going more traditional. Such a fantastic song done by a fantastic singer.
I always loved and admired blacksmiths either being real life games or fiction in general! After this episode dropped I realised how badass games will be in the future if they made something like a blacksmith singing while forging your weapon and having different songs for different kinds of weapons! As a 3D game artist it would be a honour to participate in such a project but the odds of that happening are lower than me getting married!
Always loved that a blacksmith/ forge master always showed to have a steady pace hand, and focus. This just shows that and more with this lovely song. ❤❤❤
I couldn't say anything when I saw this i just stood quiet while he was singing and it was so amazing to see something like this a true blacksmith at work is amazing to see
It may be a simple song but there is heart, soul and power behind it. Yeah I got goosebumps from listening then watching and they have nothing to do with it being cold this morning.
The first time I saw this episode when it was released I was baffled and amazed on how beautifuly composed this music was and it also kinda reminds me of we all lift together
Early fantasy books were full of songs sung at different occasions, by pretty much everyone and not just bards. This scene feels very nostalgic for a reason.
Cant wait for this Dubbed I already feel this song in my vorpal soul hopefully the pick the right voice I haven't watched any of the dubbed episodes yet
I don’t think an English singer could do it better than he did. Maybe some that are very dedicated but I watched this wayyy too many times 😂 it’s so good that this felt criminal to listen to in an anime scene
The song here gives a "Dwarven" vibe about a story of love/passion with each clang of the hammer, while creating a masterpiece. A story of loss and love.
First time seeing this on CR it had NO subtitles. Sitting there, watching it, I'm thinking "Just by the FEEL of the anime, I'm missing something here." I just LOVE it when an anime reaches out and grabs your brain and just freezes everything but your eyes. Truly Outstanding animation.
There has to be a game that features this song while doing this exact same thing that Vysache was doing? If not, then everyone send a request to all game companies to create a game and not only have this song included in the game, but to have a character similar to Vysache doing a blacksmith work while singing
This song was awesome, itself, and it led me to The Hammer and the Anvil by The Longest Johns. I had to come back and give my thanks for that, as well as recognition for this. Thank you.
I have never worked a forge but... i suddenly felt a peace yet MASSIVE URGE to try and understand his passion. That is how much emotion i felt from this and i love it! Although a character you can feel the care and attention he takes with each strike like the song and work are a experience that he is cherishing with each loving strike to bring forth thier truest form to the surface.
Monster Hunter has amazing cutscenes for when the cats cook and do other stuff. Significantly shorter though because no one is going to watch the same animation 1k times no matter how good it is. Plus, sometimes you just wanna wreck stuff and don't wanna wait for the cutscene

In a real mmo he would be doing miniscule damage pretty much, but in the show it just takes a few hits, out of weapons that he acquired just 2 hours after logging in for the first time mind you. Being arbitrarily rewarded with much stronger weapons than other players that don't even know these exist doesn't make you untouchable. A 30 level scrub can totally compete with a skilled high level player
I cried from how perfect this song was... I love this anime! probably my favorite now
This scene is absolutely FANTASTIC. I also love how the glyphs explode off the blade with each hit of Vysache's hammer.
This scene made me want to create a Blacksmith OC and add it to my 40 or so list of oc's
Cool
God speed! You can never have too many!
Can't get enough of this scene. Love how they even added the hammer bounce with each strike.
A song with a consistent rythm i imagine would actually be quite useful to a blacksmith as a source of focus and pacing. Its important to not be too harsh or soft with the blows and to maintain a good enough pace so the metal stays hot long enough to be forged into shape
Adding him to my favorite characters on MAL right now!
“You are blade, you are power”
Man what a badass song xd remind me of a old culture rhythm song from a old tales
I knew someone had this part already after the episode released lol
Already downloaded and on repeat!
This is one of those moments that an animation medium is superior to a static book medium
Japan: “Come on guys, we gotta show Larian Studios they’re not the only one that can do a banging song in a Fantasy setting.”
Legend says when a blacksmith sings that hes putting part of his soul into the piece
Seeing this scene I only felt chills. Pure epicness. It reminded me of the songs of the dwarves from Lord of the Rings. The Boss has risen to the highest levels of power, just the image of him hitting the hammer with this song conveys nothing but epicness
He's got long ears for a dwarf, but what the hell, we'll take him. Rock and Stone!
Rock and stone, and he can drink with the best of us!
Akio Otsuka is such an incredible singer. First heard his chops in Yakuza Like A Dragon where he slayed Adachi's version of Machine Gun Kiss, and here he's going more traditional. Such a fantastic song done by a fantastic singer.
I always loved and admired blacksmiths either being real life games or fiction in general! After this episode dropped I realised how badass games will be in the future if they made something like a blacksmith singing while forging your weapon and having different songs for different kinds of weapons! As a 3D game artist it would be a honour to participate in such a project but the odds of that happening are lower than me getting married!
Imagine the most iconic weapons like the Buster Sword or Dragonslayer being forged while hearing this song.
Next time I re read Berserk, defiantly blasting this
Wish this were done in a game when a blacksmith crafted a legendary end game content. Like the legendary hero's sword
Always loved that a blacksmith/ forge master always showed to have a steady pace hand, and focus. This just shows that and more with this lovely song. ❤❤❤
This song litterally sends chills, but in a good way. It’s so epic I love it!
I’m so glad the English dubbed version hadn’t caught up while I was watching this part. Idk if they can do it Justice but golly this is majestic.
Nope, no dub this time
Yea in the dub they just left the song as is (kinda expected them to dub it with the quality of the rest of the anime)
@@aceharmony4105oh that kinda sucks
this song honestly reminded me of the scene with Priscilla in Witcher 3 where she sings, and you just become entranced by such a beautiful song
I couldn't say anything when I saw this i just stood quiet while he was singing and it was so amazing to see something like this a true blacksmith at work is amazing to see
It feels so nostalgic. It's soothing and perfect.
this entire series has perfected what it feels like to play a good game. fuck i love this song
Is it bad that this not just gave me chills but also put me in tears for being so good?😢
As a blacksmith I 200% approve
This whole scene is so simple, but boy is it amazing.
If I was the only person in an mmo to witness a cutscene like this, I don't think I'd be able to handle it
It may be a simple song but there is heart, soul and power behind it. Yeah I got goosebumps from listening then watching and they have nothing to do with it being cold this morning.
The first time I saw this episode when it was released I was baffled and amazed on how beautifuly composed this music was and it also kinda reminds me of we all lift together
his voice and the lyrics matches and weapon remembers what fights youve fought makes it just better
Gives me chills every time, and the strong urge to pick up my hammer again and start from scratch
I watched this and dam it hits thank you to the voice actor and the person who wrote it thank you for posting it!
The sound of someone with a true Vorpal soul. 😆
Turns out a vorpal soul just means you're secretly a dwarf.
Bunny Daddy is dropping some Viking beats and forging one of his best and finest blades in bunny history
Early fantasy books were full of songs sung at different occasions, by pretty much everyone and not just bards. This scene feels very nostalgic for a reason.
One of the best scenes of the entire year.
Cant wait for this Dubbed I already feel this song in my vorpal soul hopefully the pick the right voice I haven't watched any of the dubbed episodes yet
I don’t think an English singer could do it better than he did. Maybe some that are very dedicated but I watched this wayyy too many times 😂 it’s so good that this felt criminal to listen to in an anime scene
His dub is the guy who does ains al gown in overlord. So a perfect match. From what I can see is the dub is 2 weeks behind.
@@blitzingsteel6587 OMG THAY IS SO FITTING
I need this on Spotify rn, i didn't expect this anime to be this f ing good , probably the best one this season
The song here gives a "Dwarven" vibe about a story of love/passion with each clang of the hammer, while creating a masterpiece. A story of loss and love.
Vysache already was my favourite character of this anime but with that he got ahead even further.
Saw this vid and been binging this show all day. Thanks for bringing it to ny attention
This one scene is more impactful than everything else in the series thus far.
I want to hear this everyday
Same man
This track is just gorgeous!
One of my DnD players just sent this to me with no context. I am entranced!
Definitely one of the most badass moments in all of anime
First time seeing this on CR it had NO subtitles. Sitting there, watching it, I'm thinking "Just by the FEEL of the anime, I'm missing something here." I just LOVE it when an anime reaches out and grabs your brain and just freezes everything but your eyes. Truly Outstanding animation.
Listen to the song from the beginning but have your eyes closed its such a beautiful experience,this scene is definitely a 100/10
this is what i most love of anime, you cant hear songs on manga so when it gets to be animated its so fricking magical
There has to be a game that features this song while doing this exact same thing that Vysache was doing? If not, then everyone send a request to all game companies to create a game and not only have this song included in the game, but to have a character similar to Vysache doing a blacksmith work while singing
Well in ffxiv you can make a bunny class and blacksmithing is a job so that would get you close
@@karas200 not quite, I meant a scenario where you get to hear that song while a blacksmith is making a weapon
Best song man
The visuals were perfect too including the design on the hammer, with frame to frame clearance
Only anime song i ever sat through
As a guy who did blacksmithing... i can vonfirm this is how much of a chad you feel yourself during blacksmithing
This song was awesome, itself, and it led me to The Hammer and the Anvil by The Longest Johns.
I had to come back and give my thanks for that, as well as recognition for this. Thank you.
They made the animation simple with repetitive and stoic movement in this scene but it works well since it is still a game
The sword must've gotten so flattened from that one spot he kept hammering
I haven't even seen the anime yet and the more i listen to this the higher it becomes on my watch list
I have never worked a forge but... i suddenly felt a peace yet MASSIVE URGE to try and understand his passion. That is how much emotion i felt from this and i love it! Although a character you can feel the care and attention he takes with each strike like the song and work are a experience that he is cherishing with each loving strike to bring forth thier truest form to the surface.
0:38 is my fav part
Blackbeared sing really well 😳😳
Possibly one of the coolest things I’ve seen in anime for a very long time
Man i would kill to have cutscenes this captivating in actual games nowadays
Monster Hunter has amazing cutscenes for when the cats cook and do other stuff. Significantly shorter though because no one is going to watch the same animation 1k times no matter how good it is. Plus, sometimes you just wanna wreck stuff and don't wanna wait for the cutscene
scenes like this are really where animation shine
My 3 year old daughter loved this scene. Great show.
Last time we had a silly scene from the manga turn into an absolute banger of a musical number was... well, the torture dance probably.
He is Iskandar, isn't he....
He surely finds me when most needed
As a person who loves games, blacksmithing, crafting n watching masters doing thier crafts.The dub better close or damn near better
im so happy this is here, i was watching it and was like "i hope i can find this later"
Well…damnit. Now I have to make a Harengon forge cleric.
It's a friggin' blacksmith's waltz, it's in either 3/3 or 6/6, I can tell by the feel of the whole thing, and I am loving it all the more for it.
Sounds like 6/6 with him hammering on the 1.
We All Came From A Great Fireplace And We Well All Go Back To The Ashes From Once’s We Came From.
