Cynthia's equivalent of "That was just a warning shot." I wish I had this epic of a theme song. She beats even Team Rocket's entrances imo. Also she looks so freaking amazing in that artwork.
I’m dressing as Cynthia for Halloween this year and I work in a hospital and my mom goes “you don’t want to go to the hospital looking like the messenger of death.”

@@elliottroberts764 because it sounds official, or at least to you, so that means that you think that this theme is of high standards and this arrangement has made it, or that it has very lackluster standards and was easily met.
(Cynthia battle music kicks in as she brings out her Garchomp) YOU CAN'T RUN FROM TRAINER BATTLES! YOU CAN'T RUN FROM TRAINER BATTLES! YOU CAN'T RUN FROM TRAINER BATTLES! (You blacked out!)
@@Redfork2000now this can go 2 ways and I am going the wrong way (You woke up being tied up having an electric strap around your neck all alone in a dark room where her garchomp is watching right into your soul)
What's most terrifying about it is that throughout the game, she helps you, she is your ally, she is always smiling, she is always calm. Then you reach her and hear this theme, shes still smiling, shes still calm, but it feels off. You fight her, get completely fucked, and suddenly that calm and happy aura turns into confidence, intense intimidation, and murderous intent. All because of the vibe that this song brings to the table.
Good choice, it gives a buffer of enjoyment before the feeling of getting absolutely crushed like and can and then getting kicked harder then a World Cup player
Some more for one year later? Schubert-er not blink, or your ears will get kicked in Debussy. Okay. Didn’t expect that to go… that way. Howe dirty. But you won’t be able to Handel all these composer puns. Could’ve gone with William Crotch, but that impressionist one has the Satie switch turned off.
Well that's one of the most wonderful cover I've ever heard from this theme. Such a strength, such a grace such an incredible job ! My most honest congratulations on your work !
The original being a piano solo just hit like nothing else really could But this. Is beautiful I like to imagine this as if Cynthia was revealed to be the true villain by way of some epic cinematic cutscene.
I think Cynthia is only matched by battling Red in Gen 2. Not even Lance, who shares the same theme as Red, pulls off that theme so well, because when you see ". . ." and it flashes a battle flash with those first notes... It feels like you truly fucked up.
this theme truly sets the tone of the battle you’re about to face when fighting Cynthia this cover especially with the organ and the violins really invokes that fear you get while battling her incredibly done
Oh 100%, Cynthia is to Pokemon in terms of fear on first impression to what Sephiroth is to Final Fantasy. The fights are one thing, but you've lost the mind fight already when the music starts
Just imagine a badass ancestor of Cynthia's just wanting in Legends Arceus to cause despair upon us all... if they do it... Oh God... the stuff of nightmares that not even Darkrai can conceive in it's mind. By the way, I LOVE how cinematic you made this theme feel! Your work should be a part of the new and future pokémon games, that would be exciting.
Imagine if she gets a free turn in the style that lets you attack twice with her Garchomp, and she use it to sword dance twice, without letting you do anything about it.
Bro, it gave me one of those chills all down my back! Thanks to you, I have the best theme for one of my characters (I write a novel), who I want crazy but badass
Idk if you play by ear or from sheet music, but there's a guy on here that has sheet music for this. Yes it's a little easier, but once you get the hang of it you can make it sound like this ☺️ I also want to learn this eventually myself
Having just come from an 8-bit music theory video on Cynthia's theme, I have come to revere it without even having played Pokemon DP. Not only is all of that fear there, you've added more with the organ because of how much pop culture has cemented organs as this awesome but ominous instrument thanks to the all too familiar Toccata and Fugue.
GOSH ZAME THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!! Another really amazing theme!!!!! You really magnified the epicness of this! Is so majestic, memes aside, this theme was always soooo good, and I am happy this theme is so iconic now, is really good, wonder how it sounds in the remakes, haven't seen the leaks. But I LOVE very much this version, this is now stuck in my head- Oh well, time to hear it in loop.
Creo que eventualmente la Pianista superara las vicitas de la la Ruta 216 y sera el video mas visto de Zame... P*t* pianista con su Piano OP que siempre hace que todos la pongan por encima de las demas jajaja aunque pa que es increíble
I got jumpscared by this because I was hovering on the thumbnail without realizing. Truly captures just how much of a menace Cynthia is. 10/10 arrangement
When i saw this i remembered the following phrase: “She’s just standing there…MENACINGLY!” And we are just 1 month closer to the Remakes, GEEZ TIME FLIES DOESN’T IT?
"Prepare for trouble" . . . Wrong character, but no less true. This piano arrangement really captures those moments before the Champion battle goes down. Good luck living to tell the tale! She is ready and waiting. Personally feel this is a really missed opportunity, in the later games where she appeared. This song before those battles would have been exhilarating. Thanks for the amazing music, Zame! You hit it out of the park using the best piano for the job!

Great arragement!
When the music _before_ the boss music has its own boss music...
The very concept of "OH SHIT!" put into musical form.

This comment just gave me Undella Town PTSD 😂
The horror 😱
Aw shoot, here we go *low hp sound* again
Ah yes, the music that taught you to save before entering a certain home in Undella😌🎩
Pokemon: "You picked the wrong house fool"
boy am I glad that I hadn't form the habit of entering every house in pokemon when I played BW
and I kind of like how cynthia is basically pokemon's madara

Ahh, the music that plays when you know you're doomed. Jokes aside,I love the intense vibes this remaster give off. Great job!
Who said it was a joke?
I wasn't joking when I said that Cinthya bested me so many times
One of the few boss music that always made me think "Aww shit! I'm fcked."

Mozart eat your heart out. Chopin them into pieces. Bach at this, I think not. This is amazing, such good emotion

i love every single comment from this
“Can‘t you feel it? The chill creeping through your veins?
The eldritch presence icing your heart?“
Ah yes, “Champion Cynthia”, perfect for any Halloween playlist
Jumpscare the heck out of any BDSP player.
Who knew adding other instruments would make this so awesome?
Zame sure did
pov: you are playing rock paper and scissors against your own reflection... and the mirror won the first round
Well that's one of the most wonderful cover I've ever heard from this theme. Such a strength, such a grace such an incredible job ! My most honest congratulations on your work !
This sent shivers down my spine, i love it
The French horns make this song so much better than it already was!
The original being a piano solo just hit like nothing else really could
But this. Is beautiful
I like to imagine this as if Cynthia was revealed to be the true villain by way of some epic cinematic cutscene.
wow legends likes you
It's literally Volos theme before that theme was even made public. That's insane.
She might've been working with Cyrus.
I love how well the Cynthia guitar goes over the Giratina theme
I always knew this theme would be complete with more orchestration, and this amazing arrangement proves it :)
Cynthia makes every other champion (except Steven) look like your rival.
I think Cynthia is only matched by battling Red in Gen 2. Not even Lance, who shares the same theme as Red, pulls off that theme so well, because when you see ". . ." and it flashes a battle flash with those first notes... It feels like you truly fucked up.
WHAT. I expected a lot of epicness, but this is crazy!!
No shot he got Volo's theme perfectly before it even released. Surely Pokemon took inspiration from this or he somehow got access to the song early
No, they took inspiration from an already existing song from pokemon diamond which the community calls "the piano before Cynthia"
this theme truly sets the tone of the battle you’re about to face when fighting Cynthia this cover especially with the organ and the violins really invokes that fear you get while battling her incredibly done
Ah yes, the Pokémon equivalent of the opening to One-Winged Angel
Oh 100%, Cynthia is to Pokemon in terms of fear on first impression to what Sephiroth is to Final Fantasy. The fights are one thing, but you've lost the mind fight already when the music starts

Cynthia in a black kimono would be the peak of the Pokémon franchise
@@EmeraldForester777 I imagined that and I'm in love more with Cinthya than before
Cynthia x Ultra Necrozma supported by Red?
Imagine if she gets a free turn in the style that lets you attack twice with her Garchomp, and she use it to sword dance twice, without letting you do anything about it.
...but she becomes an amazon deliverer instead
*a badass one*
Speed this up to 0.75x speed and it's LITERALLY Volo's theme
roxas
buongiorno
Day in Itallian
I come from Legends Arceus to say this aged well. Though "great" may be a bit stretched, morally speaking
One of Diavolo's infinite deaths is fighting Cynthia.
I was replaying white and accidentally walked into the wrong undella town house. Safe to say i damn near shit myself
This theme is one of my all time favourite pieces of music in the Pokemon series. This remix made it more epic than it already was!
Volo would be proud.
Volo is a bootleg Cynthia.
Omg this just goes beyond perfection
This is epic. I feel the fear in the deepest abyss of my soul. She's staring at me with her flying & digging dragon, I'm scared.
Exactly!
Bro, it gave me one of those chills all down my back!
Thanks to you, I have the best theme for one of my characters (I write a novel), who I want crazy but badass
I like to imagine that this is the representation of Cynthia playing a piano in the corner of the room while her Garchomp rips you limb from limb
Giorno piano
BOTW guardian theme
Cynthia's piano
the holy Trinity of terror pianos in anime/games
One of my favourite themes in Pokémon. I want to eventually learn to play this on piano.
Idk if you play by ear or from sheet music, but there's a guy on here that has sheet music for this. Yes it's a little easier, but once you get the hang of it you can make it sound like this ☺️ I also want to learn this eventually myself
@@littleplague5988 I mainly play by ear but for this song I’ll probably have to use sheet music xd.
Ah. The "you entered the wrong house in Ondula theme". May Arceus have mercy with us, the song tells us she won't...
Officially this is called the "Prelude to the Champion", really great cover :)
Nah, the official name is just "Champion Cynthia"
@@The_Zame :O well well well, I have been bamboozled
Cynthia vibes to the song of her ancestors.
"nah id win" famous last words
This is TOO GOOD. It sounds like something that would play in the climax of a thriller! I would cry if I heard this in-game!
Chills. Literal Chills.
"There's no running from a Trainer battle."
This is just the right mix of elegant and intense. Amazing!
Having just come from an 8-bit music theory video on Cynthia's theme, I have come to revere it without even having played Pokemon DP. Not only is all of that fear there, you've added more with the organ because of how much pop culture has cemented organs as this awesome but ominous instrument thanks to the all too familiar Toccata and Fugue.
This is amazing! I'd love to hear a 1 hour version of this! (Or at least a 10 minute one)
10 hours
Ah yes, the theme of "You fkd up hard now" aka _"YOU PICKED THE WRONG HOUSE, FOOL!"_
Perfect remaster of a perfect theme GG zame
Now THIS is Cynthia's theme.
When you hear this music. Run.
Pokémon sistem: You can't run from battle trainer
The player: Oh Sh*t I'm death
GOSH ZAME THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!
Another really amazing theme!!!!! You really magnified the epicness of this! Is so majestic, memes aside, this theme was always soooo good, and I am happy this theme is so iconic now, is really good, wonder how it sounds in the remakes, haven't seen the leaks.
But I LOVE very much this version, this is now stuck in my head- Oh well, time to hear it in loop.
This isn't Cynthia's theme.
This is *Demon Lord* Cynthia's theme.
this really is hitting different now uh!
This may be the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard.. absolutely stunning!
Back in the day, this was the piece of music that made me realize that even a piano can make you experience existential dread and fear.
Creo que eventualmente la Pianista superara las vicitas de la la Ruta 216 y sera el video mas visto de Zame... P*t* pianista con su Piano OP que siempre hace que todos la pongan por encima de las demas jajaja aunque pa que es increíble

10/10 arrangement
When I played Pokemon legends arceus while about to fight volo
"I wasn't scared. Until I heard the piano."
*PTSD of cynthia comes in*
I love her confidence
This is EPIC omg.
When i saw this i remembered the following phrase: “She’s just standing there…MENACINGLY!”
And we are just 1 month closer to the Remakes, GEEZ TIME FLIES DOESN’T IT?
This is absolutely amazing! You did this better than any of the official versions!!
Fitting theme for the most challenging champion
POV: You walk into the wrong house in Undella town.
"Prepare for -trouble- nightmare fuel, and make it -double- painful."
--Team Rocket- Cynthia
This sounds so menacing, I love it
This theme sends chills down every Pokemon Trainer's spine.
UA-cam no me avisó :(
Maravilloso remix como siempre Zame, ¡amo tus vídeos!
POV: you picked the wrong house
sublime
Bro this theme sounds like it could be her battle theme in the remake games this is purely beautiful!!!!
Entering the wrong house in Undella has some nasty consequences
That piano guy is back!
If I ever make a super difficult DLC for a game with similar vibes to elden ring. Then I will take some notes from this
Ah Everyone's Funeral theme Cynthia just kills all
Did anyone have chills when hearing this theme, then thinking that you were screwed
This sounds amazing
This tune should actually be called,
**Prelude to Your Doom!**
0:05 Ultra Instinct
better than the bdsp version, also oddlly reminiscent of Volo's theme
& the fact this was released before Legends Arceus ✨️
This song slaps so hard that it can assert dominance holy smoke
数あるアレンジの中で1番好きだわ
めっちゃかっこいい
volo: its time you take over
Now this is epic! Awesome work!
Now that brings me back. Chills, great work as always!
If you slow it to .75 its even scarier, absolutely terrifying
You just love making me cry tears of joy huh? Gosh… That piano… It’s not listening to music. It’s an experience
The sound of impending doom when you walk into the wrong house in Undella town
Those are the eyes of both evil and beauty
underated
Pokemon Diamond and pearl was very good series to watch and it still is even this day.
