Fire Emblem Character Spotlight: Karel
Karel (カレル Kareru) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade and Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. He is a Sacaen swordmaster who has had two titles over the course of his career: the battled-crazed Sword Demon (剣魔 Kenma), and the sage-like Sword Saint (剣聖 Kensei).
#fireemblem #nintendo #spotlight
I can't believe I've done 50 of these already. My first spotlight of Louise came out little over 2 years ago on the 13th of July, and I had no idea how popular this series would get. I am very grateful for all the views, likes and comments, and to everyone who shares these spotlights around. They have become a window into my channel for a lot of fans, as I keep hearing how the spotlights were what drew a lot of people in here to begin with. I am very grateful to Mina who with her amazing artistic skills, have added so much visual beauty and structure to the spotlights as a whole.
However, since I am always interested in improving my craft. Are there any features or things you think would be interesting to see added to future spotlights? And are there any aspects of it you feel could be removed? Let me hear your opinions in the comments below!
Mangs when can I see the one request please mangs
Do a spotlight on wendy since you did one on nino. Both are you're least favorite units in fe. :)
Mangs If you wanted to you could put a star rating for the units like you do in your FE7 LP. Also, in your statistical layout, there's a lot of empty space in the top right. Maybe add their combat Sprite/ model or animation in the top right for something to look at.
Mangs Lucius?
Now then, since we have gotten to the 50th character, I know how we can continue. Let's do Karla next! You know you like DEM LEGS, Mangs.
He used to attacc, but now he protecc
The Akuma of swords.
Of course Karel is the best unit in fe6, only growths matter.
so wait karel goes out of his way to get the wo dao by killing his entire family then it has like 20 uses ok
He sure had a boring Killing spree, after 19 Hits he has to switch to a normal Sword and search for someone who can use Hamerne, just to use it 19 times again.
maybe he just hired a cleric or something idk lol
He killed his family for a discount Killing Edge. Talk about desperate.
technically killing edge is a discount wo dao, not the other way around, as killing edge has less crit and is far more common, but who cares.
Technically, but the might makes Killing Edges not suck late game, whilst Wo Daos are shit late game.
As someone with a little bit of knowledge on ancient weaponry, the Wo Dao is likely not a katana. It's probs just a Dao. The Dao is the ancestor of the katana, but it's chinese. Most japanese weapons appear to descend from china anyway.
Interesting!
Raven's greatest dream is to become as edgy as Karel.
they are even voiced by Bryce Papenbrook, aka the go to guy for all dem edgy kids like Kirito, Eren, Rin, Komaeda, and even Henry from Awakening.
And Makoto Naegi. One of the main characters from Danganronpa.
That start though
lol what's a weapon triangle amirite
Ironic that a lance got worse hit rate than a sword lol
Next spotlight better be on the green units

"Be careful not to send him up against lance-wielding enemies"

Don't you hate when your older brother kills your entire family and only leaves you alive, left to suffer, to live just like he did... by the sword...
Daily I experience it again. The horror of seeing my family die. I try to forget this, but something just won't let me. It feels like something or... someone... forces me through this again and again. What did I do wrong to deserve this? Why won't this end?
Bartre... Fir... I'm sorry. I can't take it anymore. As much as I would love to stay at your side... I can't. My sickness is killing me as I grow weaker, paralyzed by memories thought long forgotten. Please, live your life to the fullest and remember me. And should you come across him during your journeys... Let him know that I will always love him, no matter what...
- Karla (unofficial)
To anyone who did not get the "someone" part: I was referencing how there are (most likely) new playthroughs of FE 7 every day, which force Karla to experience it again and again.
Sasuke and itachi lol
The One Tactician yes I do hate that in fact
Marus I hate him
That.....was amazing, props to you. Also, yeah I hate it when my bro kills my entire family, he has a bad habit of doing that.
I remember when I first saw Karel. I said "Oh no,this guy will die,ally units never go safe......" he dodged EVERYTHING and always did a critical. If he didn't,he hit twice
>karel will easily cap his skl and spd
karel needs to proc speed 10 times out of 12 levels with a 50% growth
???
Just rng abuse it.
Sorry Mekkah, I couldnt like, its at 69
Hydra 99 same
He was obviously talking about reverse recruitment binding blade karel, duh
If you tried it you would know /s
@@char1194 im pretty sure he has
that moment when ur playing fe 6 randomized and alan is randomized into karel as a cavalier and he wtfpwns the entire game despite having shitty bases
no but I do have karel with all capped stats just after promotion in my randomizer
Jeremiah peters Karel appeared as a nomad in the 15th chapter (in Wil's place). Damn, he kicked... uh, shot ass. I just love this guy, no matter which class he possesses.
that's fe 7 karel, where he didn't have quite as op growths, but he can definitely still be cool in that game too.
my lance was randomized into a soldier karel
bullman 203
mine was Shaman Douglas.
Karelllllllll that kills people!
"OH!
I didn't know that."
Whose Karel? I only know *EDGE MASTER JESUS-KUN*
Sami Malik
i know 2 Edge Masters. one is a copier and the other is the Saint of Swords.
Fe7 edge master
Fe6 jesus kun
It's official, Mangs has given up on Genesis.
If there's ever another Binding Blade PME or a Blazing Sword one, I want there to be an edit where Karel's class is changed to "Edgelord" and his crit animation is him teleporting behind someone and stabbing them while saying "Nothing personnel, kid".
better yet do all that and turn him into kelik from the last promise for maximum edgyness
Then call the Wu Dao the "Edgelord Edge"
the reverse recruitment FE6 Karel is so good with those growths
Huh. You did a Navarre Spotlight. Nice.
Oh, yeah, Karel is definitely Deviantart OC levels of edgy in comparison, Navarre, is a... wait, what did he do again?
*+Grand Exalt Owain* The question is what he didn't do.
me.
Yeah ... same ... **sigh**
Wait Naziro is Mangs script editor? Shitposting collab when?
He is better when you do a randomized FE6 run and you get him in the first battle as a level 1 fighter
I've never seen someone so enthusiastic about having his blade feast something.
3-13 Archer is actually the true god of fire emblem, with bases and growths only surpassed by JavCav
We Need a Gazak Spotlight!!!
What I expected of Karel: My blade that I mastered, I must take it seriously.
What I got: FEAST SWORD, FEAST!!!
I'm surprised that the Karel vs Guy theory didn't come up. After Blazing sword Guy was known as the Sword Saint just as Karel was in Binding Blade so it is theorized that Karel killed Guy and took his title as the Sword Saint.
That never happened, Guy becomes someone who rivals the sword saint in strength (Karel) not the sword saint itself. It was just a localization error, check the wiki or translate the original japanese text.
This got me wondering why we don't have an old Guy if we go Sacae route
@@regalblade8171 because he's dead?
You know it's honestly a good thing that Karel didn't want to kill Lucius.
*1Def*
I like the theory that Karel's family sword is actually not the Wo Dao, but that he's descended from Odo and Shannon and he has the actual Balmung. He doesn't use it in FE7 because he either doesn't believe any enemy worthy of it, or because he believes he has to settle things with Karla before the sword's true heir can be determined in his eyes. In FE6, he has no desire to use such a sword anymore.
Some evidence for the theory is that he says his family/clan emigrated to the Sacae from another continent only a few generations ago, and he notably has black hair similar to the heirs of Odo as opposed to the stereotypical Sacaen green. The way he talks about his sword makes it seem more special than just a wo dao, especially as it can easily be broken by the time he talks to Karla about how the winner of their duel will win the right to use their family sword.
I never got Karel in the Blazing Blade,i got Harken instead,which was pretty unnecessary since i already had Raven who was one of my best units anyways.
I consider Harken equal since both are rather good units, and Harken's lower Speed is made up for by his better, non-speed bulk stats (Luck, Def and Res). Also, Brave Sword.
You can't have enough heroes!
Air tempest nah ravens better just because of availability
Harken has god tier bases, tho. Raven is probably slightly behind Harken in HHM by the time he shows up, though he may be equal or slightly ahead in 1 or 2 stats.
Also, I personally prefer Harken because of his story as a guardian of Lord Elbert ♡
This was a really fantastic spotlight! I have to say, your production values have gone through the roof!
Thank you :)
So FE7 Karel looks badass, but fuck trying to fight with that hair swooshing around everywhere.
maybe that is why he cut it to neck length
When will we get 3-13 archer spotlight?
Penta-axe gwneral and rallyman
I think it was Lucius that got him to change. Lucius/Karel's A support shows that their interactions have brought him peace.
I had forgotten about Karla throwing down her sword. That likely played a part as well. "Why would she do that? I don't understand." Lucius may have gotten him to understand.
karel,s outfit looks nice.
Thanks for uploading this one Mangs, I absolutely adore Karel regardless of stats... There's just... something about him
Thx so much for all the hard work and the content u provide for us. Would love to see rutger next :)
I never knew Karel was playable in Fe7 so I was quite shocked when I saw him in Heroes with long hair
I was right. This is long-haired swordmaster Olwen.
Now think of a FE7 remake with the Voiceacting from Echoes :D
I didn't know you were accepting requests for Deviantart OCs for spotlights. Mangs, are you running out of characters you want to do?
lol
**teleports behind you**
JavCav when?
0:12 Karel Finishes
4:47
In Karel's support with Guy he, Guy challenges him to a fight. Not wanting to kill him, Karel says that he will fight Guy exactly one year from then.
We also see in the end of Blazing Sword that Guy gains the name "Sword Saint" (the name Karel uses in FE6)
It's implied that Guy gained the Title of the Sword Saint before his fight with Karel and soon died in that fight. Karel, now having gained a change of hear and killing Guy, then took the title of "Sword Saint" for himself.
This is also supported by the fact that Guy is nowhere to be seen in FE6 where Karel is.
Guy shares his title with the swordmaster, Karel. This is due to a translation error for Guy's epilogue, as in the original Japanese he was said only to be able to match "The Sword Saint" in strength, rather than becoming the Sword Saint himself: "The Sacaen swordsman followed his dream and continued his journey to perfect his sword. Eventually, he was said to be able to rival the “Sword Saint” himself."
Karel didn't killed Guy, it was just a translation error.
This is a weird coincidence I was reading about Karel earlier today
0:58 he became more And more obsessed with swordplay huh
Hell yeah, my favorite character.
Chroi I hate him
man it was the first fire emblem i played and i was like 10 or 12 yo, watching his crit animation for the first time, i was so mesmerized like oh god this is so damn cool
Who would win? Karel or Mangs w/ his katana?
The Mangstana.
So are you telling me that he changed from "Sword demon" to "Sword saint" because *little sister issues*?
It's always the *fucking* little sister to make these edgelords goods.
I just realized Elise is the only little sister character who fails at bringing out the good in her brother (well, Guinivere failed too, but there are extreme circumstances in her and Zephiel's case)
Why did she win the gauntlet again?
Kelik spotlight fucking when
*teleports behind u*
pfft, amateur
nothin personnel kid
>Implying Mangs can handle the weight
There are such good ideas put into Karel's character it would be awesome if they expanded upon him and his story in an eventual remake.

-Karel
You should totally do Owain! I need a hammy episode about him, I've been waiting so long!
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Peri's feeling stabby
And Karel is too
"...after king Zephiel of Bern was defeated by Roy..." I've never heard something so wrong in my entire life.
In fe7, Hector/Eliwood (depending on what story you're in) are able to recruit Karel, not just Lyn.
I know, but Lyn suited the storytelling better :D
Karel was one of the many reasons I decided to grow my hair out at the end of my junior year in high school. I used him on my team because he looked so cool. The guy even leveled strength like 6 times before capping.
Karel's personality has similarities with Kenshin Himura of Rurouni Kenshin because both of them are blood thirsty killers turned into an atoner who doesn't want to kill anyone and to protect the innocent.
He’s like Owain+Itachi with even more edge
I know it unlikely but he may have PTSD in binding blade.
It's also suggested that his talks with Lucius calmed him down or that Guy came and challenged him. Since Guy isn't in Binding Blade, it's possible that Karel murdered Guy which would have left Karel distracted as Guy was probably the nicest guy (pun not intended) that's Karel ever killed.
I mean, Guy became as good as Karel when FE7 ended so it was a possibility that when sparring, Karel hit the 12 crit
@@regalblade8171 i wouldn't put it past the RNG.
WAIT! Is Karel's Heroes voice actor Bryce Papenbrook? he sounds enough like Kamui for me to think that.
+Grand Exalt Owain yup and he also is Raven, Henry and young Conrad who knew?
Hmm ... I'm seeing a pattern ... except young Conrad, he's the odd one out.
So this guy does Conrad? urgh, if I couldn't hate Conrad more before...
Papenbrook only voiced Conrad in that one flashback as a kid, Marc "Guts" Diraison is Conrad's main VA.
Probably my favorite character in 7!
he such a edgelord
Crawling in my crawl
He is the edgelord of Edgelords, you could call him a (Killing)Edge Master!
Ha! Get it? Because he's a Swordmaster, and Killing edges are good on them! No? Not funny? K;-;
@@benjaminborkowski12 😂
Karel is probably my favorite swordmaster in all of fire emblem
Well, his binding blade self did great in mekkahs reverse recruitment
you did Karel ! sweeeet ! now... do his brother in-Law ! i really want to see a bartre Spotlight !
10:32 yep that is what it means. The way Karel said it was a diffrent way of saying "Those who live by the sword, die by the sword"
I love Karel
Karel carried me through my first playthrough of fe7
Actually you say it was Karla who change karel. If you A support him with guy, however, it is revealed through both there endings that it was likely guy that defeated him, not Karla changing him.
the start made me think of Itachi and I cried a little
I want Karel's growth rates on my Nomah.
So... Fire Emblem's Itachi?
This was amazing!
Best character.
Yuugiri!! Do Yuugiri next!!!!
We got an update Mangs. The Wo Dao heirloom is now known as the Nameless Blade. IDK why but it fits??
What about a spotlight on Keaton or Kaden from Fates? I think that would be cool. Even Mozu from Fates would be awesome.
I thought Shanna married Bartre because of the "Quirky Family" stage. I didn't know much about past games anyways
Bartre married Karla.
3:49
“Stay back! My sword hand...twitches..”
I wouldn't mind seeing a Nyx spotlight.
I had to laugh at my own comment at the beginning
Mangs when do you plan on doing echos spotlights ? Also I'd like to suggest jaffar getting a spotlight
Barter spotlight plz.
showing gba sprites at 30fps, shake my head...
I have strongly considered swapping away from Camtasia because of this.
Mangs
Honestly, Camtasia isn't all that good.
For me, OBS suffices for streaming/recording needs.
Yeah, OBS IS LIVE!!! Pun not intended...
+Mangs 3:33 "Barely survived the encounter." Not if one has a maxed strength Bartre with a Swordslayer, never mind that Karla likely wouldn't be recruited afterwards! ;)
Does he never get punished in any way for ... uhh ... KILLING HIS FAMILY?
SupremeChickenx kek
Are you crazy? this is Fire Emblem. NO ONE IS PUNISHED FOR ANYTHING UNLESS IT'S PLOT IMPORTANT!
Grand Exalt Owain *Mindblown*
if a crazed killer put down his entire family in cold blood and fought only the strongest because they are the only ones he thinks of as a challenge, would you confront him about it?
His sister, the person that broke his edgy demeanor, got sick after they reconnected & died after Fir was born. Everyone Karel knew personally (except Bartre & Fir) died. He was left with immense guilt and shame after the loss of Karla, and he regards his earlier days as a demonic trance that he will never return to again.
I reckon the older karel will be the Legendary banner. His weapon called Sword of Saint
2:13 Holy shit, Karel fought Kel'thuzad!?
oh it's the (Killing) Edge Lord
Mangs can you either do Benny from fates or fergus or ilios who are both from thracia 776
Thank
11:04 It's 3 or more promoted enemies
That is what I first thought, but after doing some research, I was corrected by some people claiming the wiki is wrong, and that it is actually 2+ enemies. I might have gotten the wrong information though, so if someone can confirm this with a screenshot or a video, I'd love to see it.
Sonagi If the wiki says two, then the wiki is incorrect
Sonagi Exactly what does Serenes Forest say? Because I have killed 2 promoted enemies and still got Harken
Now you should do harken
harken AKA survivor guilt personified
y'know Anna was once also seen laughing while collecting her opponent's weaponry.
there is a saying and it does hold some truth "those who live by the sword die by the sword" but I can not remember where it is from.
I forgot about Karla dying in Binding Blade
Its funny, Karel basically was an edgy teenager until he waa in his 30s
I got a 5 star of him this morning
