Feels good to be back. Hope everyone is having an awesome day and as ALWAYS I will see you in the next video Bye 👋
Glad to have you back
I feel like thats a reference to another channel, but i cant put my finger on it
@@Mike-cv7do Came here to ask if that was a Wendigoon reference.
@@Mike-cv7dop
This episode was the beginning of my realization that finn is not a normal human at all bro soloed almost every single undead gladiator there while being a child
Yeah he's a BEAST
he's a reincarnation of a catalyst comet
I thought the gladiators were going easy on him here. But still, he's definitely not normal
AYO, DARTH CHUNGUS XD
@@pey-petZC😂
Always found cool how much detail and lore they managed to give one off villains and locations, this episode being one of the main examples, you can tell the creators had a lot of fun making the show.
Yeah, it's clear a lot of love went into making this series into what it is 👌
@truelocalweirdo Unfortunately the passion and creativity that used to go into making shows like these nowadays has diminished.
Or this wasn't intended, and people are filling in the gaps with their own theories. This happens with a lot of art and often portions are left intentionally vague and up to interpretation for the audience to fill in with their own creativity and wonderous logic. Especially with a broadcast animation, where time is extremely valuable, this becomes a much more valuable tool.
This is not a bad thing, and doesn't take away from the art. But rather it is a fundamental element of art itself. Art is a cooperative effort between the creator and their audience. Your interpretations become a piece of the puzzle that makes the art whole.
@@homelessperson5455yeah but theres clear storytellikg in the background and given context thats solidifues that there was a general story to be told, as a designer you are taught that one of the best ways to make a consistent design is tell a story with it, and they clearly intended one givin gladiators real life names and the very speciric detailes of the arena and how it works
@@alirezaomrani7650 Uh no, it hasn't. Its just difficult to get people to pay for them to be made.
The ending of this episode always haunts me whenever I think about it. The arena flying with the ghosts led to me assuming that they are curse to the arena even in death
So I’m not the only who thought that 😅 Good. I was beginning to think I was crazy for thinking that the colosseum followed them into Heaven. LOL
The eerie music doesn't make it a happy ending either.
Its awesome that the fight king is such a huge berserk reference. A missing arm, a missing eye, a giant sword, a crossbow hand, the daggers on his side, the throwing knives, even the battle axe that guts was gifted in the manga and never even used. Bro is basically just evil guts
Ayoo
No matter how much magic swagger that axe has it doesn't have the "fuck everything in 3 meters of me" effect of the Dragonslayer
was just about to comment this
@@catalin2766 remember when he was fighting the priest guy and he basically coated the sword in liquid phantoms? I think since then that shit was steeped in darkness and effected the properties of the sword
@@somandernah man the sword started to change from day one of killing supernatural beings.
He might look decrepit, but what if Fight King was only the same age as Finn when he became corrupted? The missing arm parallel is obvious, but we've also seen Finn take things too far in battle sometimes, like when he wanted to fight The Farm or especially Dungeon Train.
Normally I overlook theories like this, but this one is VERY fun and cool at the least
Also with the elements series, finn becoming fire finn and only wanting violence might be some colleration as well?
Not only this
but the fight king's sword kinda looks like a larger, more tricked out version of finn's first inital sword: Scarlet
The Fight King also seems very quickly attached and trusting to Finn for some reason. Going so far as to lend him the sword containing his soul and keeping the arena together without hesitation. Made me think he wanted to pass on his legacy onto a younger body with the same ambitions
With the fight King having what’s basically a phylactery and considering Adventure Time took inspiration from Dnd I have to ask are Dnd styled Liches possible in Adventure Time? Because the only Lich we have seen is the Lich but he technically isn’t a Lich in the traditional sense. He’s basically a force of nature possessing a dead corpse of some random dude who died in the Mushroom Wars
Actually got a video on this exact topic coming soon 😅
@@TrueLocalEnthusiast Maybe a video about DND and other TTRPG references in the series?
Had the same idea
@@TrueLocalEnthusiast 👋
I would assume dnd style Liches are possible being that's basically what the fight king is.
NGL, this guy always creeped me out more than the Lich just for the way he spoke and for what he did to his victims.
Yeah guy was... disturbing.
He gotta be related to the lich in some way, I mean there both skeletons with green eyes
Maybe not skeleton but still
@@idk7677 he's the lich's brother, Gerald
@@idk7677 technicaly he's a lich by definition. And the titular Lich actually... Isn't, he's a catalyst comet and a primordial, which aren't liches
I think maybe the sword corrupted his soul, as though the sword demanded an eternity of battle; "to fight is to live" implies immortality is secured for the weilder as long as there are battles the sword can face.
"HYPERION, I'M SORRYYYYY. HYPERION. MY LOVE!" A quote will probably stay with me till i die. Iykyk
Bruh. Same. I thought Im the only one who always remeber this quote. Somehow, the agony of the voice has made this memorable/haunting.
"Get me outta this caaaaavvvvvee cause its nothing but a gladiator gravvvvveeeeeee!" "And if we stick to plaaaaaannnn, i think ill turn into a lava mannnnnnnn....i think ill turn into a lava mannnnnnnnnn"
"I THINK I'LL TURN INTO A LAVA MAN!"
My favorite part of this episode is that neither Finn nor Jake seem to catch on the subtext that the ghosts they were fighting were forced to kill their best friends/lovers in the arena. It's obvious subtext but F and J never actually hook it up
this is because they were too young in that episode
they actually do realize it in the end, though. Finn notices that all the ghosts are walking in pairs, and Jake adds that the ghosts must have been best bros who were forced to fight.
coolest part is you have to be stronger than the last strongest gladiator that killed the last strongest gladiator and so on. he could have created a devastatingly strong ghost army. Finn possible have been part of it
Great breakdown, but I think you missed one of my favorite elements! Each gladiator ghost bears wounds from their partner's weapon. The attention to detail on that is always wonderful to me.
He's yet again another character that really leaves you wondering how just how strong they were in their prime?
Hey TLW, long time watcher, very infrequent commenter. Really enjoying the new direction of the channel. I can tell by your community posts youve been curious about our thoughts on it.
Just felt like saying i personally enjoy it! Love the souls content as well, given the spooky nature you seem to enjoy i think diving into Bloodborne might be worth your time as well! Just a thought, cheers buddy
Thanks for watching, also yeah I plan to cover Bloodborne eventually but I gotta finish the game personally 😅
Also happy some people enjoy the direction we're slowly going into. 😊
It's really interesting how the Fight King is basically some sort of pseudo-Fighter Lich and also how inhuman Finn is in his abilities. I never realized this until now that Finn is insanely powerful for an adolescent human to be able to take down a group of, probably, rather powerful undead gladiators.
(Note: I have not watched A LOT of AT, my TV died on me when the show was relatively new so.. yeah.)
Finally someone covered this episode it was one of my fav episodes ❤😂
I probably should've went more in depth on the gladiator but that's technically context outside of adventure time
Nah this video was awesome thanks
man, i like how this show sometimes just had the most fucked up shit and then refused to elaborate any further for the rest of the series
The funny thing is the fight king, despite looking like the most evil we ever encounter in this series, would still ascend to the second level in the movie, but choose goose was left down in the first layer, meaning that choose goose was far worse of a person than fight king
A man carrying a giant sword, missing one eye and one arm, and equipped with a crossbow attached to his arm thirst ing for battle? Sounds just like Guts to me
Uh what? It certainly wouldn't be redundant at all to talk about the gladiators the ghosts are based on.
I have genuinely never heard a better excuse to learn about some gladiators as actual individuals.
If you're up to it, give us a part 2 about the ghosts and the people they are based on!
Yes! Teasing with that tidbit of info lol.
Would have been nice to see him as another main villain like the Litch, maybe he could turn up and challenge Finn for a fight are really push him every time with new tactics and undead to fight. Maybe Evan having a sort of twisted farther son like relationship or respect that he shows to Finn as a hero.
This episode used to make me so emotional. The way the ghosts ask for each others forgiveness was truly heart breaking.
BRB gonna write a dnd module with an undead (lich perhaps) fighter whose thirst for glory and battle has granted him undeath, and his power has bled into the arena, becoming an extension of his deteriorating body
Needing torment, strife, battle, and death to feed his form and continue his existence
Or like, maybe he’s a former hexblade
Have you considered that Fight King became a Lich (by DnD's definition) with his sword being his phylactary?
This episode had a toy set that I had as a kid. With Finn being bruised, the mud Jake, one of the ghosts, and I can't remember what else.
Missing eye, amputated arm, crossbow attached to an arm, giant sword... If that's not a breserk reference then I don't know what is
I think a video about the crystal gaurdians and the crystal apple that tree trunks eats would be a good video
They don't call him The Fight King for no reason.
Also shout out to one of the best AT songs, Tropical Island 🏝️
I like to imagine if The Fight King ever reach the point of being nothing but either a pile of mush or ash he'd be able to live on in his sword as a cursed weapon and take control of who ever is unfortunate enough to wield it.
🎶 on a tropical island, on a tropical island🎶
YESSS I WAITING FOR THIS ONE
Wish we got more of him tbh
@@TrueLocalEnthusiast I agree he seemed like he had a lot of potential and power and knowledge since he has been fighting for soooo longggg...sad to see him perish like this
Heck yes I’m glad you did this ep o think I even recommended it once. Some of my other fav’s were Jake the brick and the deer one”no one can hear you” I think you did a vid on those already too
🎶🎶On a tropical island 🎶🎶
🎶Underneath a molten lava moon🎶🎶
yeah this entire episode is like something out of souls-like games
The interesting thing is that this series has quote a few versions of Liches hidden about. The fight King IS a lich. A lich is a type of Alchemist or Sorceror who uses magic related to Golem making, homunculous production and necromancy to relocate their own souls into objects or artifical bodies as a mean of life extention or obtaining immortality. This is not equivalent to natural reincarnation where one has the same soul and destiny but losing all consuous memories or sence of past self. It's more an inverted badtardization and juxtaposed with this which is important in thsi series. We know reincarnation of specific entities is a huge part of how this world works so the fact multiple Lich equivalent characters or entities exist in Adventure Time and are often the source of evil or danger makes sense. They seem to refrain from using the term for most of these beings since the one called the Lich is the one they choose to differentiate. It is also worth noting that of all the catalyst comet beings, the Lich is poetically unique. It represents the unified death of life but is also the only one who does not die and get naturally reincarnated. It is a true lich that simply possesses other living beings to become a paracitic consciousness in their host body. He remains the same consious being even when suppressed in the host like with Sweet Pea. He may have even introduced this unnatural aversion to death by his impact into the world but its hard to know considering Evergreen also seems to be a Lich of sorts through the crown.
Wait no tell us about the real gladiators they're a reference to, that sounds super interesting!
So I heard that the Fight King is a reference to Guts from Berserk with the big sword and wrist crossbow? Is this true? Would Adventure Time actually reference something like Berserk? I mean the only other possible reference I could think of was that Future version of Finn with the Big crystal Sword in the episode Mortal Folly (this future version of Finn actually gets his own story in the comics and is apparently from what I heard is in a three way relationship with Bubblegum and Marceline)
It's definitely possible, especially since they tend to reference other shows and even anime but it's not outright stated(As far as I know) that he's berserk inspired
three way WHAT
adventure time is just berserk for preteens
@@christianroot6287 god I loved that one time jake sacrified his friends and family to become an angel of darkness, good times dawg
He lived to fight, but now cant even move in order to fight. As a old King himself.
“I fight to hear bones breaking and meat tearing!”
“Ghosts don’t got meat”
Always some high quality stuff coming from this channel
Do the food chain episode, one of my favorites i was watching it last night while being a little 420 friendly and for a second I thought I was trippin 🤣😅
Can you explain the meaning of what the Old Tart Toter said.
I'm gonna sound like I'm having a stroke throughout it...
Love how the crew and animators made the one episode villian or background super cool
I like the fact this EP was one of the first that Rebecca Sugar work on. The small tune Jake sings is great.
Crossbow on his arm, missing eye and arm, giant sword, and black skin.
That's The Black Swordsman from Berserk, there's no way The Fight King isn't a Berserk reference.
I just watched the 2 scenes on UA-cam of this episode and now I'm here to get info on why the ghosts were crying and being sad
This is really dark and I don't want to watch that episode again
The fight king is a Berserk reference
had to make a trip to a diff state and am having a lot of down time, watched all your at vids and fucking love your channel
There could have been multiple groups that both died before getting to the last challenge or refused to participate that would explain why there’s more skulls then ghost
I wonder if The Fight King is one of Scholar of GOLB like the lich sins both are undead monsters with great powers and can
summon the dead to fight for them
The more you look into adventure time the more you realize how dark it is without really showing how it is like jesus this episode alone sonds like something of dark tragic Greek story, and this show is for kids?!?!
GLOB I love this channel
Interestingly enough, the Fight King is basically a DnD Death Knight. Both are undead warriors who've bound their souls into their swords in order to gain power and functional immortality. This is also comparable to the Death Knights in World of Warcraft, namely the Lich King himself Arthas since his soul was trapped within his sword. If we apply similar logic/rules as to those other examples then it kinda makes sense that the soul of the fight king was able to ascend still since his soul would no longer be in direct control of his body's actions after it was bound in the blade. So he's basically no longer a moral actor in any real since, basically just an automaton acting on the memories it had still.
You know what? It's actually funny because i was thinking of this exact episode just recently
After watching this video i decided to rewatch the episode. I really love how finn just became haywired after getting the fight king's blessing
He started drooling (lust for kill) then began being ecstatic after every kill he made. He also frequently spoke Latin (?) Or something..... Which was amazing!!! The best part for me was when he parried a 6 armed dagger from him and screamed a warcry!
Even though he says it was part of his plan, i doubt that he honestly played all that as "acting" after all the episode took place earlier in the series when Finn was just a dumb 13 year old.
And yeah the skull count was pretty impressive on your end, but it's probably either over dramaticized or the fight king killed of his audience alongside the ancient fighters after obtaining immortality and sealing the place. After all what's a show without a crowd? :)
name is lich: isn’t a lich.
name is fight king: isn’t a fighter, is a lich.
Wait, you’re surprised his soul went up upon release? Well, we’ve seen their afterlife, and it’s mostly a weird jumble that eventually becomes layers based on your character, but it’s still pretty non-Christian in that you’re not being judged based so much on the ethics behind your actions, but based on your character and drive.
Wow, you did this so well!
You know one thing I have never seen anyone talk about, though I can’t think that I’m the only one to notice? Wasn’t Ghost Princess revealed to actually be the ghost of a long dead princess called Fight Princess? But. Who was she to Fight King? Daughter, descendant, sister? And didn’t she only remember who she was when reunited with her own lover? I mean, you got the link in the titles, but then also the ghost elements, and sad lovers separated by death. Is there really nothing someone more knowledgeable can glean from these two characters?
Hey dude, ik you probs sick of seeing my name but I wanted to ask you one more thing (hopefully). How do to get noiseless clips of AT or any show for that matter and pile them together for a video (sorry if the question is vague got no clue on how this stuff works).
Keep up the great work man, loved this episode.
Not at all man, you can easily download clips without audio from UA-cam or just remove the audio using your editing software(as I said last time I use Capcut) to lower the volume. A simple link to MP4 website will do most of the time 👍
Kinda wish you had shown footage of the souls going to heaven to back up your claim. Heh.
Man, the Fight King's sole episode was originally dismissed by my kid self as another Adventure Time episode I can enjoy. Too bad I never looked at the finer details of it until now.
awesome video
Thanks for the visit
someone might have said this already but one of the gladiators has his head split in half, and the fight king lays his sword on finns head with the sharp side of the blade pointed down to his head, not laid sideways to keep him from being accidently hurt, that gladiator maybe kept surviving and the fight king tricked him into feeling safe by getting him to kneel like he got finn to kneel
I totally forgot about the Fight King...
Posting a video in the middle of my date how rude. Now both of them mad at me
Make them watch the videos too 🗿
@@TrueLocalEnthusiast definitely did
The Fight King is a Lich...not like the LIch King but like Dungeons and Dragons, his sword is his Phylactery.
He has returned
His sword is fuckung sick btw
adventure time predicted guts’s fate
This video brought back memories I almost completely forgot about the episode this is in only remembering a few frames of it, fight king became completely expunged from my memory damn I'm old 😨
Episode idea: how did Finn get super strength/durability?
If a soul is placed in a sword and his body is dying, tje cracking from movement is his soul forcing a rigor mortis body to move
Maybe a video on some of the Dead Worlds we see in Distant Lands or just each version of Death could be really interesting. Afterlives are my favorite part of any stories worldbuilding, so it would cool to hear more about how Adventure Time does it.
Honestly I think you should've mentioned the origins of the names and relationship earlier
Yeah same here, future video perhaps?
The Joshua thing at the end genuinely freaked me out for a second
Wtf man I just thought that was a random episode
I have always thought that this character is a reference to the emperor of humanity
This is why I kind of hate Adventure Time because all of the stuff could not be established in just 1,000 years
What if all the gladiators are actually the second-best warriors, and the winner does actually go free.
Didn't even realize all this when I watched it
Seeing this on my recommended was so funny I've always wondered about Fight Kings backstory
edit: This is actually so sad 😭💔
Legit one of the absolute worst forms of immortality in any fiction ever.
Dude's got absolute control of an entire arena, but his body still ages and is pretty much useless.
This is crazy, I somehow knew, once that khan meme was going around that I would see it in one of your intros! lol. good humour.
Does this guy seem like a dark souls boss or what
Redundant means its been done before and i am just now learning those things you mentioned there, actually wouldve been interested in it still if you kept going!
I've watched this whole show twice and for the life of me I cannot remember this episode
Half an arm, half an eye, crossbow on arm and big thick ass sword...Lol he's Berk from Berserk
Jake be grooving waiting for finn lol
I love adventure time’s attention to detail stories.
I love his crown
Can you do the pure elementals please?
whoa

do you wonder if his missing arm is a nod to finns future? or just a coincidence
Ultra Nice 🗡️👑
Your voice is amazing ❤ I could listen to it all day it's so attractive and relaxing
Such a great video. Thanks again!
You realize that he is just a flavored demi-lich, right?
Personally I'd put him closer to a death knight rather than a demilich 🤔
@@TrueLocalEnthusiast do death knights have a phylactery? I honestly can't remember.
@@asshat1502yes and no? They put their souls in their blades but if it breaks they don't instantly die but instead lose their mind. Sometimes they can repair it though
