- Let's talk about the Ibushi theme from Monster Hunter Rise! The themes for Ibushi, Narwa and Allmother Narwa have been requested a lot here in the channel. And I can understand why. These themes are like a summary of the excelence heard in all of Monster Hunter Rise soundtrack, specially in what regards to the use of vocals.

Music friends! We are approaching 3k subs, that is so cool! I want to do a special QnA video for the occasion, so drop me a question below if you want it to be featured in the next video. Any questions about games, music, my composing career, this channel or anything else you can think about would be cool!
Since you've covered so many MH themes, i am wondering how you feel that their game music/themes compare to other franchises. What kind of things do they do often that make them stand out?
What is your fave Monster Hunter game? Also what weapon do you main? :)
What was the first instrument you learned how to play and how old were you?
My question is how can you take chords and a melody and form it into a cohesive piece that tells a story, as the monster hunter series can clearly do. Congrats on 3k :D
Man wasn’t lying, they were the next themes he was going to do
What I love about Ibushi and Narwa's themes is that Ibushi's theme sounds like he's looking for something, and Narwa's theme sounds like she wants to be found.
That is a beautiful way to describe it
ibushi is looking for a way out of the prison that are them bloody rampage quests
narwa wants to be found because we literally buried her alive in a giant hole
makes sense
Ibushi’s theme is desperate
Narwa’s theme is desolate
@@gamecavalier3230 it just feels like a better Zorah Magdaros quest to me
@@mango4723 to me honestly didn’t get that feel I got much more of a onslaught feel while zora had more of a “against a mountain” feel which kinda makes sense
So, here’s a little fun fact
Ibushi is fully capable of flying upright. The Guild even states there is no actual advantage to flying upside down
Ibushi literally flies upside down just because he thinks it’s fun or because he knows it confuses us
Oh, I didn't know that about the vocals. I would love to know the lyrics.
What the hell. Some of my replies are going to the wrong comments lol
@@DaviVasc yea I was very confused
@@itsturniptime3699 just like the guild seeing some space serpent flyng upside down, apparently
@@DaviVasc Ibushi's confusión tactic working as intended
Ibushi's theme is being sung by Hinoa and Narwa's is being sung by Minoto. They both sing in the Allmother Theme. I love that!
*BEST Handlers EVER!!!*

@@Artameful "See ya!"
-Davi explaining how sad and melancholic the song is
-Meanwhile Ibushi is being bonked to death in the background lmao
Ibushi is sad now. He is just a simple simp but now he gets bonked to death for no reason.
@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx i mean Narwa is just as crazy for him as he is for her so I don't think hes really a simp lol
@@Doomguyhunter1
He's a simp.
He lets himself get consumed by Narwa just so she can evolve her powers in order to dispose of their pursuers.
@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx no Narwa more like surprise killed him by giving him a quick death, because she might have thought he wouldn't survive anyways. He probably had no idea it would happen lol. Anyways it's just something to interpret in your own way i guess.
@@Doomguyhunter1
Very well.
Some people just seem to not understand happy couples.
Well most of them.
I'm sorry for imposing toxic knowledge of such a thing.
You know, one of my favorite parts of the Ibushi theme is actually the part you referred to as a "fake build-up", where it sounds like something big is coming, but the volume and intensity of everything heard dims down. One thing I've learned in music over the years, is that low intensity, and even silence, if used correctly, can be considered just as powerful as a huge crash of instruments. Tasteful choices make for incredible compositions.
That is true. Nothing builds anticipation like silence.
@@DaviVasc Especially when our default anticipation is to expect anything BUT silence 😂 It's an amazing feeling to bestow upon the listener, and even moreso, an incredible achievement for the composer👍
I love your breakdowns already, they give great insight to the nuance and storytelling behind these compositions. As an artist I can respect the work and talent that goes into the design and worldbuilding of these games but im no musician, so I couldnt quite appreciate the subtle touches these songs actually have. I loved the mh tracks before but these vids are kinda eye opening, thanks for that!
I'm glad I can enhance your enjoyment of this music, that makes me really happy :)
My thoughts exactly
Local Wind Serpent just wants to see his wife
I really like the base of this song, not only does it represent ibushi's anger, but the moment you fight him it seems like a war rhythm while the wind serpent directs the monsters of the rampage.
Davi's analysis is very good
Man, if Ibushi theme sounds sad, Allmother is beyond tragic
It's my headcanon that Narwa killing Ibushi and becoming the Allmother wasn't done lightly, and that it actually tore her apart and broke her heart to do it. A lot of Thanos quotes would fit really well with this interpretation:
"This day extracts a heavy toll."
"The hardest choices require the strongest wills."
"What did it cost?" "...Everything."
Essentially killing a pregnant dragon, to prevent the destruction of the continent.
Sad, but consider the fact that Ibushi/Narwa hybrids might be a thing, if she were allowed to live.
Cool, yes. Easy way to glass a continent, yes.
I love the traditional japanese feel it makes me want buy a shamisen
Same. The koto sounds like it would super fun to play too.
I really love the way you break down the theme for us to understand, i love that music even more now that i undestand it !
That makes me so happy :)
I'd really like to see a breakdown of white fatalis's theme from MHGU, that theme's always sounded so intriguing to me
Apparently there's an actual translation to the vocals in the theme [GU and Zenith Fatalis from MHFrontier]. And I can agree that the theme really says a lot even on it's own
HOT FISH
Which version
@@StoutShako *GIB HIM HOT FEESH*
You are correct in thinking Hinoa is singing Ibushi's theme, and likewise, Minoto is singing Narwa's theme.
On the official soundtrack there are even Japanese versions of these songs that have actual translations for what's being said, though I can't remember what they are off memory.
Hope you got Rotten vale and Vaal hazak's theme on the list.
Small monsters in Rotten Vale is one of my favorite combat themes from World! Not my favorite locale lol but the music is so fitting and great (actually all of Vales music)
Bro , Rotten Vale is a Must ! XD
I agree, pleeeease Rotten Vale battle theme, gives me flashbacks to battling Odogaron every time :)
Rotten Vale is probably my favorite locale battle theme in the series. I'm down to making a video about it!
@@DaviVasc yeeeees ^^ . Lets go
9:13 I normally don't like this part because it's the end to an otherwise great chorus. However, lore analysis wise, it's a great line.
Ibushi's theme is a story of his frustration between the anger and sorrow, becoming more and more agitated until finally: He's sick of it. Ibushi is Done. Finished. Resolved. Centered. Focused. He isn't going to bounce back and forth between his emotions. He isn't going to explain himself or plead his case any further.
You're speaking with the Breath of Ire, now, and it's like trying to negotiate with a Hurricane. Which is fitting because Ibushi's job during the rampage is chasing all the other monster's away and-as far as he's concerned-we're the problem.
So really, that last line is an especial *Fuck You* to the player, stronghold, and Kamura Village who are preventing him from creating _True Paradise._
i love this theme and theme after that .the change from Ibushi to Narwa and the last All Mother Narwa fells like hunting a real myth creature.
Adding a second comment separate from my question: that was a really good catch with the dropped thirds at the end, it is really masterful that the composer used the lack of emotion to convey the lifeless husk of Ibushi. In general the entire fight with Ibushi - Narwa - Allmother is really great but that extra level of storytelling baked into the themes is amazing! Very excited for the follow-ups to this video
Thank you Patrick!
It’s worth noting at 8:24 you mentioned the whole orchestra comes in to back up the vocals. Well the actual vocals say “Come together” which can be seen as one of two things, either it means ibushi being together with Narwa, or since the orchestra all jumps after a buildup it could mean ibushi is riling up monsters and when the orchestra jumps in it’s a rampage starting since it’s his anger that causes everything nearby to rampage. Either way it’s very good story telling through small music details
The fact that you have knowledge about the game and lore makes your analysis way more interesting great work instantly subbed and I really love how it is so easy to understand to people like me that have 0 knowledge in the music field.
That is exactly my goal! I want to share this music with everyone, even people who know nothing about music.
I love these musical analyses. They make me appreciate the themes even more. Keep up the good work man
Thanks Alex :)
8:17 Hey Davi, I think you unintentionally found another sign to Ibushi's madness when you pointed out his flute in the left speaker. In real life, our ears are a core part of our sense of balance. If you were to build up a lot of ear wax it could disrupt you and cause imbalance.
In game, it is stated that there's is honestly no real reason for Ibushi to float upside down. That it offers him no specific advantages he otherwise wouldn't have when right side up. The only thing that I personally could imagine is that he naturally chooses to put his head as close to us because he doesn't suffer from vertigo and wants to inspect us.
But the important thing is that while he doesn't suffer from imbalance, us humans can and do. And while Ibushi might not recognize that he himself is a little unhinged, the fact that we can pick up his flute in only one ear is translating how imbalanced Ibushi is himself. Extra points for the fact that the instrument is almost being drowned out by the rest of the music at this point.
2:00 You've explained very well what I couldn't describe from the BGM. From your explanation I think that ambiguous part is the composer's brilliance: They managed to crystallize various emotions and thoughts into a chord, invoking our inner understanding through feelings rather than cognition. Its primal and perhaps foreign to our modernized way of thinking, yet elegant and we can deeply empathize with.
3:38 You certainly are a bona fide game composer, I farmed narwa till I'm braindead and I didn't recognize the similarity
5:54 This theme is so sad * *paused at the perfect time before Impact Crater hit the lover* * XD
7:01 Wow. This explanation just made me appreciate this theme a whole bunch more. Never thought that both songs could be envisioned as a separated duet, makes it sadder when you think about the theme left it on purpose waiting for the other part to reunite.
Overall, amazing decomposition of a majestic piece. Always enjoyed your videos when you splendidly explained each meaning from the audible and (usually) inaudible parts and instruments.
Btw, after Rise, are you interested in analyzing Old MH themes? especially MH4 opening theme or MH Tri's Main Theme, I think the music themselves is already movie-worthy stories to tell just from the composition. Also maybe Alatreon, the bold tempo change is very interesting to the ears, painting "instability" theme to the fight.
I love the Sepernt's themes; especially the AllMother theme.
It sounds very desperate, representing the situation both the Hunter and Narwa are in (Hunters trying to stop the serpents from mating, while Narwa desperately trying to keep her future kin safe, and to make sure Ibushi's death wouldnt be for nothing).
Especially when the main melody hits. I loved it in Breath of Ire, but it felt truly complete in Allmother's theme, and fit the story perfectly.
Love the breakdown.
Ibushi’s theme is hauntingly beautiful and packs quite an emotional tune while still being epic as heck! The composers did a fantastic job here fitting all these elements in!
They really did!
I know I need sleep, but this is just so worth my time. Thank you once again for this, also looking forward to the next ones!
Thank you my friend!
Really liking your MH Music videos!
One super cool musical experience I had in Monster Hunter World was the 3 separate themes from Kulve Taroth as you got into her different phases during your pursuit of her into the golden depths each song builds in intensity just like Kulve Taroth herself during the fight. First the music is epic and adventurous matching the hunter spirit as you enter her domain and start the hunt while KT is still laden down with her golden coat and is largely uninterested with the hunters attempting to annoy her. Second phase, she retreats, and starts direct combat and the intensity goes up, and finally with her back against the wall, and her golden coat destroyed, she goes all out, with the music getting super intense and the start of the song is scary. Its definitely something to see and experience especially with her dramatic initial roar during the start of 3rd phase is synced with the music transition from 2nd song to 3rd song. Her roar couple with an epic piano part really clinch this epic moment of "Now you're in MY HOUSE" and its about to hit the fan.
Thanks for the suggestion man! Sure, Kulve would be cool for a video.
I enjoy every single video more than the previous one, man i love music and understanding the emotions and feelings composers wanted to portray. And i always loved Monster Hunter, thank you so much for your content.
Thank you my friend. Have in mind though, that these are my personal feelings and interpretations of the music. I don't claim to know the intentions of the original composer.
The fated four have to be next. They're one of the most iconic groups in monster hunter
Lot's of people have suggested this. I'll make it happen. Also, #teamglavenus
@@DaviVasc GREAT SWORD SUPREMACY
I'm not that good at analyzing a song myself, but listening to you it really comes together. Duet without the other person, crying out in loneliness, to silence and the numb pain of it all, but a final flute.... like a whisper, to keep going, all accompanied by pounding angry percussion.
I really like these videos. I know you want to tackle Narwa and All mother Narwa, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on Magnamalos' theme too. I personally think it's one of the best, just hectic, dangerous, heart pounding, malicious or evil, yet also awe inspiring kind of evil. I can't put it too well into words i don't think but that comes to mind.
Mag's theme would be fun to talk about!
*MH Lore: Wind Serpent Ibushi*
"Name: Wind Serpent Ibushi (イブシマキヒコ)
Title: Wind God Dragon (風神龍)/Breath of Ire/Serpent God of Wind
Length: 3068.8cm
Height: 1263.82cm
Order: Elder Dragon
Suborder: Deity Dragon
Family: Unknown
Habitats: Unknown"
"Bring down your rage upon the firmament and engulf all."
"Encompass all in a storm of chaos, and let none escape."
"Unleash an incarnation of pure terror that none can resist."
"Chase the living as the embodiment of ruin."
"Wreak ultimate calamity unto this plane."
"The Rampage has been plaguing the Kamura Region since ancient times, and no one could ever guess why hordes of monsters would start attacking villages. Some had speculated that Magnamalo was the cause of the Rampage, but there was no indication that it could make so many monsters flee at once. Something else was hiding behind the Rampage..."
"Sometime later, fifty years after the last calamity that befell Kamura, there are signs of another Rampage approaching. The people of Kamura, including a hunter known as the "Fierce," prepare to face this mysterious phenomon once again."
"Not long after the Rampage begins, the Fierce takes down Magnamalo and helps the village overcome numerous monster hordes, including ones led by Apex Monsters. With the help of the Fierce, Kamura Village is able to push back the rampaging monsters."
""How long will the Rampage last?"
"Why does it keep occurring every few decades?"
"Is this just nature at work or something supernatural?""
"One day, not long after a monster horde led by an Apex Arzuros is repelled, a mysterious blue monster suddenly appears in the sky and resonates with Hinoa.
Where is my queen? Where is my queen?""
"While the monster has never been witnessed before, it's thought to be some kind of elder dragon. After its sudden appearance, the Guild begins a full investigation. Soon they find an answer and conclude that this monster is not only connected to the Rampage but is also the cause of it. This monster is known as Wind Serpent Ibushi, the Wind God Dragon."
"An elder dragon that soars through the sky as if it was swimming through the sea, Wind Serpent Ibushi can be identified by its blue shell and massive horns."
"This male elder dragon's exact habitat range is unknown, but he has been reported in various locales during Rampages. He has long been a part of the region's history, but no one knew of his existence until recently."
"In the past, there was a civilization living within the Shrine Ruins. The Shrine Ruins was previously inhabited by gods (monsters), but a divine lightning (Thunder Serpent Narwa) scared away the gods, making it the perfect place for humans to inhabit."
"A few decades later, wicked gales (Wind Serpent Ibushi) swept across the Shrine Ruins, bringing gods back to the land that the humans now claimed. The gods scared away the humans, and nature once again nurtured the tainted land."
"This legend has been passed down in Kamura Village for many years, and sadly Kamura Village, as well as other villages, got to experience this legend firsthand for hundreds of years."
"Divine lightning and wicked gales swept across the land, bringing numerous gods and a hellfire beast (Magnamalo) to Kamura Village."
"Wind Serpent Ibushi is an unusual elder dragon with some bizarre adaptations. From a distance, he looks like a "flying seahorse" (Conceptually, that's what they were going with)."
"His body is covered in thick, highly elastic skin that is rigid enough to repel blades yet flexible like rubber. Ibushi needs this kind of skin due to the several gills found on his body that he uses for flight."
"Ibushi's gills are called "windsacs", and he uses them to produce and store a special gas that's lighter than air. He'll expel this gas (Air/Wind) from his windsacs to create sparkling updrafts that he'll use to help him float or fly in the sky."
" The windsacs inflate when they're filled with gas but deflate when they expel it. While "swimming" through the sky, Ibushi looks like a leviathan or some kind of god.
Reference: mythopedia.com/topics/fujin "
"Ibushi spends much of his time in the air, likely the reason why he wasn't discovered until recently. Like other elder dragons, Ibushi is rarely ever seen, but that changes during the mating season (Which seems to occur every fifty years or so)."
"Not long after he was discovered, his female counterpart, Thunder Serpent Narwa, was found as well. During the mating season, Narwa will choose a place to nest, and Ibushi will search for her nesting spot in order to mate with her."
"He will fly through numerous locales in search of her, tearing apart the land as he searches for his "queen" (Obviously, there is more than one Ibushi and Narwa since they are a species. If our Ibushi looked hard enough, he probably would've eventually found another Narwa)."
"Once Ibushi finds Narwa, a storm of wind and lightning will occur as they converge (That's their beautiful yet very destructive mating ritual). Once they mate, Ibushi will fly around and guard the nest, much like Rathalos, while Narwa hides in her nest and prepares to lay eggs."
"Wind Serpent Ibushi and Thunder Serpent Narwa are the source of the Rampage, particularly Ibushi. As Ibushi goes to various locales in search of Narwa, he'll rip apart the land with his powerful gales, which can best be described as a hurricane (Breath of Ire)."
"Ibushi's storm, as well as his echoing roar, will cause numerous monsters to flee into other areas, including villages. In reality, the Rampage is a mass migration caused by Ibushi as he looks for Narwa and the Apex Monsters are some of Ibushi's victims. While most monsters were able to escape Ibushi's storm, some of them weren't so lucky. Some of the monsters caught in Ibushi's storm managed to survive, growing stronger and becoming more aggressive after the experience. Apex Monsters now greatly fear storms and will tear through just about anything to avoid them, and other monsters can sense their raw rage and desperation."
"As mentioned previously, Ibushi is capable of expelling that special gas from his windsacs. He'll often fire that gas (Draconic Wind) from his forelimbs and tail. The gas also violently circulates throughout his body, meaning he can breathe the draconic wind from his mouth as well. When the gas is compressed, Ibushi can even breathe a draconic wind beam."
"Ibushi's gales are extremely powerful, capable of destroying much of the equipment in the Red Stronghold in an instant. The gales are shot out of his windsacs with tremendous force comparable to a cannon, making them quite deadly to get hit by."
"When enraged, Ibushi's eyes and windsacs will glow red, indicating his immense rage. When faced with a threat, or gate, that he can't destroy, he'll use the gas around him to lift up several boulders. He'll use the currents generated by the gas to fire the boulders at targets."
"With the help of his windsacs, Ibushi can freely fly wherever want he wants and attack however he wants. However, he needs to make sure each one of his windsacs is filled with enough gas. The windsacs are very delicate organs that can easily be damaged. If too many of them are deflated in battle, Ibushi will helplessly fall to the ground, leaving him open to attacks."
"Noticeably, Ibushi has a second pair of jaws inside of his mouth. While his diet is unknown, he can potentially use those jaws to hold onto prey items. His skin is oddly hard, elastic, and lightweight."
"Countless rock-hard spikes can be found on his skin, which he uses for protection against airborne threats. One swipe from his pointy claw disfigured the land with a gust-like blow. The Wind Serpent Orb shimmers with the rage of a typhoon, allowing its user to command storms."
"A destructive deluge, heaven-sent, offering no possibility of salvation."
"An atrocious maelstrom doling out a bitter end to all it swallows."
"Manifest the horrors of the universe to make others quake with fear."
"The embodiment of death for all living things. Its presence brings naught but despair."
"The demise of the world ventures closer, an inescapable end."

I love the emotions in this, and all the different levels to this theme. The vocal parts are really stunning. I love how much detail and thought goes into these MH themes.
Congratulations on going up and over 3k subs! This channel is really moving quickly now! Hope you're very proud 😊
I am proud of the parts of the journey that concern me, but a lot of it is due to subscribers like you! :)
I haven't heard anyone talk about how INCREDIBLE Ibushi and Narwa would look on mhw's engine
They would be stunning lol
Great analysis as always! I really enjoyed especially “emotionless chord” part because I love the stillness and movement vibe in this theme. I feel his quiet madness from this theme. So beautiful and painful.
Thank you for your amazing video. Can’t wait for your next video!
Thanks you so much Aya!
Incredible analysis! Each and every one of your videos are an inspiration. I love the in depth knowledge that they provide and the thoughtful analyses on the MH soundtracks. It also warms my heart to see fellow Brazilian Monster Hunter fun’s.
Both your Ibushi and Narwa analyses were absolutely phenomenal. I absolutely cannot wait for the coming analyzation of the Allmother OST. I am sure that you may have caught this already, but one thing I noticed about the Ibushi and Allmother Narwa themes share the *exact* same melody from 1:03-1:25 (Ibushi) and 1:33-1:60 (Allmother). Of course there is a slight different in background instruments, but otherwise, they are exactly the same in terms of tune and chords. I thought that it would be an interesting pattern to touch upon in your Allmother Narwa video.
Cool. Thank you for the heads up my friend!
The theme that I enjoy the most is Narwa's theme. It has something crazy, showing you the power and ferocity of a monster, but keeping the graciousness of narwa. The themes is this game are masterpieces I can't wait to see your analysis xD
Soon...
WOOOO!! Lets go Davi!!!! Hype for this one :D
Ibushi theme is such a banger to me that im glad you started with this one.
Hope you enjoyed it!
i am so pumped for all mother theme its one of my all time fav themes
I'm pumped for that too!
@@DaviVasc
Don't sleep on the Lady of Lightning!
A theme i would love to see you analyze is the Great Maccao theme from generations and generations X. I know its not from rise and its the first large monster you fight, but its an amazing theme. Its not my fav, that astalos's and ceadus's theme, but just like how those themes describe there monster perfectly( psychopathic unrelentingness, and a feeling of awe, mystery, and wonder respectively) the great maccao theme represents him amazingly. Unrelenting rambunctiousness.
That is an interesting suggestion. Thank you!
Brillant work on the ibushi theme "breakdown" . Sadly very underrated !
Thanks Philipp :)
One theme I would love to hear you react to is the theme of Deviljho, specifically the one from Monster Hunter World. It'd be great, seeing as how you already did Bazelgeuse!
I seriously don't get how I missed the fact that Hinoa singing the lyrics of this theme acts as the voice of ibushi, even though that's happened several times before we actually fight him lol, loved this breakdown though, made me like this theme alot more than I already did
I'm glad to know that!
YES I’ve been waiting for this one!!!
Please do a reaction to MHWI's Fatalis second phase theme, it's one of the only video games musics (all video games mixed) that actually give me chills when I listen at it, and this each damn time I do listen at it. Simply an incredible musical masterpiece.
Personally phase 1 gives me chills besides the fact it's og Fatty theme the constant beat with lyrics give it a tense feel and make it rather scary while phase 2 feels more like your now in the fight and your doing well with a more battle type theme building hype instead of fear
That's all nice and all, but I prefer a revision of Proof of a Hero
I love these videos because I too am very into videogame music, it's my favorite genre. Also music is the first thing that I judge in a game, I only play Genshin Impact because Yu Peng Chen work on that game is absolutely amazing
This was the perfect vid to come home to after a long day at work 😭😭💕💕💕 Also don't worry about going into too much detail!! The more juicy knowledge you give us the better :D I found that the vocals in this theme portrayed a sadness and loneliness compared to Narwa's theme almost sounding hopeful and empowering, maybe to push Ibushi to keep searching for her? Can't wait to see your next vid!!
Someone in the comments described it as the Ibushi vocals sounding like searching, and the Narwa vocals sounding like wanting to be found, which I thought was a very fitting description
I never noticed the singing and pausing pattern wow. What’s interesting is that all mother’s theme is also like this, but instead of one voice it’s two singing at the same time and the beginning of the theme has both voices lining up together. *Narwa finds ibushi, kills and gains power of ibushi, alone again this time for good.*
Whoa
I'd be very interested in seeing your take on the music from Soul Nomad or SMT: Strange Journey. They're both very distinct tracks that give the games a lot of identity imo and I'd love to see what you could make of them.
Could you consider doing Xeno'jiiva's theme from Monster Hunter World? That theme felt insanely emotional when I fought Xeno. Both triumphant but also really sad, because Xeno really didn't ask to be that powerful. You didn't want to put this newborn down but if he were allowed to live the consequences would be catastrophic. That's the vibe the theme and the overall feel of the fight was. Bittersweet.
Sure, that would be fun!
I like to imagine that while fighting the serpents other than trying to murder you they are basically just forcing their respective sister to sing this
A tense moment, as the villagers are trying to go about their lives, pretending not to worry about Squirt.
Hinoa jerks mid-dango eating and begins singing the vocals, seemingly in a trance.
The villagers are shocked and terrified as A: her eyes are glowing blue and B: she's Hinoa. Hinoa does _not_ waste dango, much less stop eating it.
@@obsidironpumicia4074 that would be quite terrifying
Music of this game consists of carefully crafted notes, melodies and emotions merged into this wonderful art..
Le Me: I hope this is being discussed by the community coz it's so wonderful instead of useless crap right??
Meanwhile.....
gAmErs: Where's Muh Endgame??
Gamers can be the most ungrateful af fr. 🙄
My favorite part of the song is that to me at parts it’s intense, then calm, it jumps from one to the other. It’s like an actual hurricane. It could be calm at one moment, then intense at the next
I was really really interested in music theory before. You've given me motivation to pick it up again!! (Or learn idk english)
That is so cool!
I'm a simple man; I see Chrono Cross in a dedicated shelf in the background, I subscribe.
A man/woman of culture, I see
Oi Davi. There’s so much going on in this theme. It’s just as well we have you to explain everything. It all makes sense when I listen to your analysis. Thanks for this week’s explanation . BTW congrats on the rapidly growing subs - you thoroughly deserve your success :)
Thank you so much Anne!
Uh I don’t have anything to comment about so I’m just gonna say what I think is happening with the whole ibushi and narwa that isn’t obvious
So I think ibushi is looking specifically for narwa and I say this because ibushi and narwa are a species so when narwa fell into the whole he could’ve just left her there he might have found her not suitable for him in this state and find another narwa but he didn’t so maybe these two specifically knew each other in the past or something like that.
Skip forward to the rampage, ibushi is ripping the place apart instead of flying above it is because he wants to destroy everything in his path so his offspring can survive and only leaves because he knows you’ll kill him if he goes on like this so to save his power for guarding narwas nest when the time comes he leaves.
Skip to the narwa fight
She’s defending her newly found nest with her life and she doesn’t leave because she has no where to go she’s waiting for ibushi to arrive where he knows she is and she only survived out of either pure luck or intelligence
She’s pulling rocks out of the ground to attack you and so she’s either doing that out of instinct but we do have to take into account: elder dragons are smart so she knew pulling those rocks out of the ground would make the floor hollow enough fall through and make a safer nest and use rocks to cover the hole back up, she just has to hope it’s hollow before she dies
Allmother time babeeeee
Ibushi’s on guard, he knows what you can do now, he’s taking this seriously and if he dies so be it, there’s a plan b and he’s already filled his purpose in life, but he still doesn’t want it to come to plan b... neither does narwa
He fights and he fights and he fights but with rises new mobility and increased recovery speed, he can’t keep up, he knows the floor is still hollow...it’s time for plan b
He falls and narwa knows what she has to do but she doesn’t want to do she looks at his wounds to see if he can keep going, ibushi makes a faint screech to tell her to do it, they swirl around each other... one last dance.
Ibushi down
For narwa it’s not about the offspring anymore, she’s fighting out of rage and sorrow, she actually fights and with effort
Magnamalo is here to try and keep the ibushi and narwa population in check but it was not expecting to see a narwa of such power most likely even as powerful as safi’jiiva, there’s not much magnamalo can do but whittle her down and jump back out
And then
You did it
Both are dead
May these two Devine beasts meet once more in the heavens
I’m surprised no one recommended fatalis theme from world. It’s hands now the most intensive and impressive in the series in my opinion.
YATTA!!!!!!!! IBUSHI
HERE WE GO!!!
I'd like to see you do the Rotten Vale Medium Monster theme, and how it compares / sets up the Rotten Vale Large Monster Theme (aka Odogaron's theme). They work so well together and it never really gets brought up.
Yeah what you said lines up with what I felt from the song. It really has this feel of grandness,and epicness cause Sky Serpent and that whole devine feel,but also longing and urgency. And considering how some atempts to translate the Japanese version,which yes we do have versions of the songs with Japanese lyrics for all the songs with singing in the game and generally what most translations say is that he wants to destroy the village and he will stop at nothing to get where he is going
i have an idea for a few themes to present, their from MHStories2 and i love them. They are razewing ratha theme and the final boss oltura themes( 'cause he got 2) , they would be interesting to treat in my opinion. And as always it was great video. Have a nice day.
Have a nice day you too, my friend. And thank you for the suggestions.
Other themes I'd love to see you do a reaction to: Deviljho, Rajang, Shagaru Magara/gore magala, Tigrex, and Seregios
Dalamadur theme pt 1 and 2 would be very cool. I love the different vibes both parts give to the different stages of the fight. Second one always felt far more chaotic, even when I got used to his attack patterns and wasn't nearly carting all the time lol
AWESOME!!
This is my favorite song for this games. I love It.
My favorite theme in the game besides Valstrax's. I'm excited for a potential video on allmother in the future
I'm gonna do Narwa and then Allmother
Mais um vídeo foda e bem feito, parabéns mano. Todo o sucesso pra tu.
Obrigado!
You should do videos like this on some of the music from the older games, especially monster hunter 3, and freedom unite mayhaps.
Also, a look at proof of a hero is highly reccomended as well, and from monster hunter 3, the song "for creatures" is insanely beautiful.
Lots of people have recommended Ceadeus theme from MH3U so that is probably gonna be the first old school MH reaction I'm gonna do
Didn't know you were married bro congrats! The tender understanding in these themes comes naturally.
You should consider reacting to the Shagaru Magala theme 👀
Sure, I love that theme
My favorite song from the base game
The JP version really portrayed sadness and anger in the lyrics. In the end, saying「身を合わす 我ら思い病まぬ」which meant something like "We join together and never lose(?)." (Words are too deep for me to translate accurately) Nice analysis as always.
Oh, I would love to know the lyrics to this song
@@DaviVasc I searched for the MHRise album on spotify and found out there were JP versions of some of the themes(like the narwa theme and the village theme). I was fascinated and I suggest to look it up also.
Been enjoying your videos ever since UA-cam recommended your videos to me, maybe it was because I used to search for both MonHun vids and OST reactions.
I love how this guy got invested in the situation between narwal and ibushi and ibushi's goal to find his queen
Not really from Rise but it'd be pretty nice to see you react to some Frontier themes, such as Berserk Laviente's, G-Rank Crimson Fatalis, Disufiroa, Duremudira, etc.
I'll do some Frontier videos at some point. A lot of people are suggesting it.
@@DaviVasc Nice, looking forward to it.
Oh yeah, never been happier to suffer!
If only real life suffering was this much fun lol
@@DaviVasc but fun ain't living, so happy we can be
Ibushi and Narwa are actually even the first Monster which activily aim to destroy and kill.
Fatalis is only forced to it because it does not forgive the Humans and Wyverians War Crimes during the Great Dragon War with the "Equal Dragon Weapon". Since in Lore, Fatalis is not an actual Monster, but the existence that can Reset the process of Humans and Wyverians does it make this Monster more than just close to human inteligence, but at least as intelegent as Humans.
Hey Davi, great video as always. excited for the Q&A! I was actually wondering what kind of music you consider your strongest "inspirations" or just favourite pieces that are not from video games?
Feels crazy that no one seems to of requested the ‘brachydios theme’… nor my favourite ‘the raging brachydios’ especially, no way it doesn’t get your heart absolutely racing.
I’m a sucker for choirs so I’m quite biased.
Raging Brachy is the second most requested video ever in this channel lol It's second only to MHW Fatalis
@@DaviVasc oh my goodness, well goodluck on those in the future. I look forward to it, I love your work.
Thank you for reacting to MHR musics!
Could you also do a music reactions to older MH gens?
I really love if you could make a reaction over Ceadeus' Theme :D
Ceadeus theme will definitely be first old school MH theme I will react to
I just binge-watched all of your monster hunter music reaction videos. I love each of them, and am looking forward to whatever you do next.
I know you get a lot of requests, so apologies for throwing another one at you, but I would be very interested in hearing your reaction to Hollow Knight music. I think you would enjoy it. There's too many great songs to list, but Greenpath and False Knight are a couple of my favorite songs from that game.
Ah, I would love to make videos on Hollow Knight. Thank you for suggesting it!
I feel ibushi music emotionally very sad...as how he will inevitably die , i felt that since the first time i eared it
Yeah i have to say ibushi's theme is definetly my favorite new monster theme they did.
Its just so depressingly lonely wich then switches to More angry part right after hinoa/ibushi says Kamura in the songs lyrics. Id give you a time lapse but you cut the kamura part out. Its just before 7:48 anyway.
Allmother narwas theme is a close second so im interested to see you break down that one aswell.
Oh, I didn't notice the Kamura thing, otherwise I wouldn't have cut it. That is a cool detail though. Thank you for pointing it out!
It would be great to see the analysis of the biggest elder dragons of monster hunter world:
Alatreon
Safi'jiva
Kulve Taroth
Fatalis
By the way, keep doing this amazing job
Fatalis is coming very soon
This isn’t a monster theme in specific but how about doing the Rotten Vale theme from World? The soundtrack is really interesting, for a place to be the elder’s graveyard littered with corpses of dead monsters, and caked with suffocating effluvia it still feels full of life with creatures lurking in the shadows and the theme captures that contrast. It’s one of my favorites from World and I’d love to hear what you think 🥺
You mean the Rotten Vale battle theme. I love that one, it's one of my favorites in the entire series
@@DaviVasc yes! That one! It’s one of my favorites in World ☺️ Maybe someday you mind reviewing it? I’d love to hear your thoughts
For the second strongest elder dragon the song sure is peaceful.
All the three god serpent themes have this really mystical, peaceful vibe to them. So good.
@@DaviVasc Yes it is.
why am i anxiously thinking that this guy will sing "bury the light" at any given moment hahaXD
Ibushi kicks ass.
love your reaction, keep it up
Thank you Hasif
Bro you have to do the sandy plains in mh rise its a freaking banger
Knowing his music theme is this complex and well-thought-out only makes it more the infuriating to me that ibushi is such a pushover as the "pseudo final boss" in game. I really hope Capcom will release a quest where we duel a more challenging ibushi in the future, he definitely deserves a solo quest
wow, man...now I see Ibushi in different ways.
yes, lemme end his suffering T_T
I know it’s not Rise but ahta kal would be cool also reactions to Pokémon legendaries would be cool as Id love your insight on their songs
Ah, cool suggestion. I love pokemon music.
I would love you to react to the Rampage and The Rampage Counter Signal. ❤️
I tried once but there wasn't a lot to say. It's a very repetitive theme with very few different parts. Maybe I'll include it in a video with many small themes so I can fill up the whole video
I hadn't heard this theme before, not having played the game, but aside from the specific things you mentioned here, the failed duet and the calling of Narwa's theme and the most interesting part of all, the chords without thirds which is a super interesting concept that I'll take away, aside from those what I heard in this I didn't find all that interesting. It's a very effective theme, but to my unmusical ears, the only thing in this theme that actually makes it retain in me is that failed duet creating a sense of awkwardness in the gaps. It creates a sense of sadness, and lonely incompletion, but, and it might just be me missing context of the game, that's all I get. It could be cut and paste into a Fire Emblem game or Nier. The specifics that relate to Ibushi are too nuanced, too much in the technical, as opposed to cuffing me over the head like most other themes. I'll probably remember that Ibushi's theme sounds sad and that one gimmick, but I won't take away the hook or motif or whatever it's called. The bit that you hum. That's just my own take on hearing the song.
Admittedly, it's not a catchy type song.
Welp, badapbapbadapbah! Time to eat my words, mm, so tasty. After playing the game and having the song loop in the battle, it really does serve as a good theme for extended listens, great for battling to.
Apologies, but I have a suggestion or ten? Maybe try Fatalis from Monster Hunter World? Uh possibly Dalamadur from older Monster Hunter games, and the Verdant Hills (I think) theme in some older Monster Hunters? (Sometimes its called Roar/Rathalos or something?) Maybe the classic Proof of a Hero? Kulve Taroth, also from World? Velkhana from World? Uh, sorry if that was a boat load, but I've been here for about 5 minutes and this is a new entry for my new top 10 places to be
Fatalis from MH W is coming very soon. Also, welcome to the channel :D
Yeah I requested this one, it’s one of the best themes in rise in my opinion
Glad you got the one you requested :)
Ibushi is possibly my favorite monster.
Finally...Ibushi Theme !!!
man MHR really brought some memorable and god tier ost, especially Allmother
Please do Nergigante's theme from MH:W it's my favourite 😭
