Shame we never kept his hands as a trophy in the trophy room. Just imagine Clive walking out, clapping with Kupka's hands together as he congratulates the team on surviving.
I love how well Clive matches Hugo's posturing here, because while he's a heroic character, there's nothing noble or heroic about it, it's just "I killed your girlfriend, I'm glad about it, and I'm going to kill you too."
5:03 I really love Clive, Hes such a fresh character Other protagonists will try to calm Kupka by making see any reason But clive? Hes not suggarcoating it, Hes telling Kupka hes gonna murder him and call it a day
Kupka and his men killed most of everyone in the old Hideaway. There was no reasoning. To Clive, he actually saw this as revenge for all those Bearers that were killed years ago.
@@RickyUzumaki993 And trying to have Jill executed. After all of that shit, Clive had no reason at all to regard this dude as anyone to try to redeem. Just an asshole who needed to be put down like a rabid dog.
I agree. He's not a perfect hero mind, he got his tuckus beat and handed to him by Barnabus a couple of times. But here he's a downright beast against Kupka, fueled by a justifiable thirst for retribution. There was no reasoning or making excuses. Just "DIE!" and they went into it after a couple of speeches. So nice to see in a story again.
The only problem with this boss is that Kupka doesn’t comment If you are using Garuda’s powers. Which is sad for me because I made it a point to defeat him mostly using Garuda hoping he would curse me for it😂😂
Yeah, he could've said something like "You dare treat her gifts as spoils of war? Then I shall treat your head the same after I rip it off of your *censored* neck!"
As far as non-cutscene lines go, "Cross you? I'll KILL you," "I'll tell 'your lady' you tried," and "Oriflamme. How many Bearers suffer to keep your granaries full?" are the ones that have stuck with me.
That line and the later one where he says "You betrayed your own blood and SURRENDERED YOUR SON to his fate!" are some of the best delivered lines I've ever seen in a video game.
@@FelixS. A little bit too late considering that it retain PS5 exclusivity since first launch which hurt the sales and performance on different platforms. Case and point, some major bugs on PC.

I know right? People must have been playing blindfolded because Cid never Gave that kind of vibe, of being such a piece of shit character. First time i Saw that scene was obvious to me someone else did it but planted the seed of "Cid did it" in hugo's head to Start some shit because they knew how volatile he is, specially regarding Benedikta.
Like I thought it was obviously Barnabas and slepnir who did after the slepnir says “the man who risked his life for a women’s head” after drakes fang is destroyed
I love Clive’s attitude in this scene, he was basically saying “I killed yo bitch and I’ll do it again if I could, but instead I’ll just settle for you”. Sometimes you gotta say fuck all that “sympathetic hero” shit and be an asshole just as much as the villains are
I love the detail of Hugo going from eloquent and imposing at the start of the fight to full Bane after he juices at the end when Clive cuts his hands off.
I laughed hysterically when the hands were cut off, and I was NOT expecting something so brutal to happen, even my reaction scared me. It was a mix of satisfaction and horror while shouting "You damn well DESERVED IT!!" ... yes, i called my therapist after.
I'm not finished with the game yet but I'm pretty close to the end. I just find it hard to believe that Cid would send Benedikta's head to Kupka. He seemed to really care for her at one time. I think it was Odin and his Lord Commander. They knew it would make Hugo go after Clive so he would have to battle the Titan and gain his power. Also, who else thinks that Mid may be Cid and Benedikta's daughter?
It was obviously Barnabus, Cid would never do that, and Clive at that time was knocked out by Cid, let alone wouldn´t even have known their relationship.
Yeah pretty sure it was Barnabas. Especially when you see the scene of him and Benedikta I’m bed and he clearly can tell she is still in love with Cid.
You know its crazy how during the climatic battles, they are fighting like they're DBZ characters, but as soon as the cut scenes start, they fight like normal humans.
Clive's a savage because now he realized just how much he loves Jill... And Kupka was moments away from ending her. Everything from "Kupka..." at the beginning to mocking him with the "I did" and the whole 'you mad bro?' attitude to THE raw rage of "cross you?... I'LL KILL YOU!" Clive triggered Kupka to semiprime and be at his best so he could humiliate him and beat his ass out with Ifrit. Then delivered the perfect fuck you by taking his hands off and Titan is a pugilist. This entire sequence was Clive completely and utterly destroying Titan physically, mentally and everything in between. Dude, the next time we see Kupka he's struggling to pick up a knife and fork and crying like a baby. Clive fucking ruined him and it has "you hurt her, I hurt you" energy all over it. AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!
I guarantee you any other protagonist would try some vain attempt to reason with Kupka, or act like they regret how things have turned out. But Clive? "You'll get no pity from me Kupka. No pity... and no mercy!"
I know we got the cool Titan fight in the end, but man watching Clive stab Kupka and finish that evil POS there would have been one of the most satisfying deaths in the entire series.
Are we going to ignore the first inkling that Sleipnir (or Commander of Waloed's Forces here) was not a normal man when he carried off this mountain of muscle and testosterone with only one arm?
@@deathbykonami5487 For sure, if you’ve got good weight behind your punches, and you’re hitting a normal guy- but Hugo is built like a life-sized statue lol we’re not knocking the wind out of him
@@DioDinero To be fair, he'd also just had his a** beat pretty thoroughly and from the size of that blood pool he was sitting in for a minute there had some major blood loss going on. Good odds he was already well on his way to unconsciousness even before the gut punch.
There is another video of this fight and transition after the "now die" is butter smooth. Clive and Hugo rush each other and Clive precision dodges through the attack. Its beautiful
Not really, he can crush regular swordsmen like it's nothing. He just didn't know Clive happened to be the baddest motherfucker alive and not just a random exiled noble.
I love how Clive doesn’t even know what the fuck Hugo is talking about considering it was Barnabas who cut off benediktas head. He admits he did it anyways because he’s tired of this man terrorizing the land and just wants to see him mad.
You know if Hugo did try to cut of Jill’s head early like before he killed benna he would have been angry enough to be the one to chop her head off and send it to him but that was all barnabe
every antagonist in this game was better than the previous , and they kept upping the stakes and the emotions and just raw sheer spectacle with awesome jaw dropping moments, there is just NO way in any game i have seen this before, ff 7 couldnt even come CLOSE to the emotions and goosebumps i felt in ff 16, and never will anything see its like for me, immediatly when you met each villain it was sephiroth over again, you instantly feared and knew these people would be great villains even if they had little screen time in between gameplay
The thing that confused me at him saying he did it, I was like yea you killed her but I think Kupka is thinking Clive killed her and sent the box. Which I’m certain Cid did that, which I don’t know why, cause he cared for her as well. I guess i haven’t made it that far to know the full context.
That’s what a lot of ppl are debating about. It’s very clear that cid and Clive didn’t defile benadikta body. as even if they’re outcasts, they’re still honorable. As such it’s very clear someone is setting up Clive to face Hugo. Just so Clive could get titan powers. Many speculate it was ultima that defile the body and mail it to Hugo. Since ultima could take on any form, since he really doesn’t care about humanity… honor or tradition.
@@mvodinh cause I was like wait there’s no way Cid did it, especially with how he felt for her and then what he says about her to Hugo. The whole time I’m like wait Clive never knew or was told so he’s as confused as me about it haha, but when he said I did it I was wait buddy, we killed her yes but not the other stuff! Thank you for that clarification this was the one thing that I know I missed or wasn’t paying attention fully. Also I’m so done with FF having Garuda being evil, like when can we get nice Garuda, and Karen Shiva! Haha
This boss all of a sudden gave me challenge. The second part I died twice but I finally beat him. My heart was beating so fast. This fight was so intense!!! I never use that fireballs that go around lol. I don't know you can cheese him like that.
I also was a little let down by the actual Titan fight. I think the music made it really underwhelming, which is a big scar for a game that mostly has an amazing soundtrack.
@kei7540 I did, that's why I was disappointed. I don't mean eikon mode like them transforming into the gods. But rather, Clive is doing what Kupka is doing. It felt weird seeing someone go all out while Clive was just "nah, my Eikon gauge is kinda limited"
@@kei7540 The execution part? Torgal transformation? Gav to the rescue? Look man are you gonna go somewhere with what you're saying or are you just gonna keep saying stuff?
4:33 This was what sealed for me that this was such a spectacularly concocted mutual hatred. Both have taken from one another. There is no talk of reconciling or burying the hatchet. They’re both out for one another’s blood with equal levels or ferocity, and this made Hugo feel like a compelling nemesis to Clive in a way that Barnabas, despite being awesome in his own way, didn’t match in my opinion.
I love how Clive is no non-sense in this game. He was 100% going to remove Hugo's head had he not been interrupted. No last minute mercy or some other crap. Hugo was a major threat and Clive was gonna end it right then and there.
Hugo: “Son of a whore!”
Clive: “You’re many things, Hugo. But incorrect isn’t one of them right now.”
Ong 🤣🤣
Can it be even be called an insult if it’s fact?

True. That. Anabella and hypergamy are for the streets.
@@yellowsoy2475 Not really. But it depends if the person being told that takes it as an insult or not.

Instead he plays into the guys rage and says “I killed her, I liked it, and you’re next”

The whole time I’m like wait Clive never knew or was told so he’s as confused as me about it haha, but when he said I did it I was wait buddy, we killed her yes but not the other stuff! Thank you for that clarification this was the one thing that I know I missed or wasn’t paying attention fully. Also I’m so done with FF having Garuda being evil, like when can we get nice Garuda, and Karen Shiva! Haha
@@mvodinh I also believe that Ultima theory with what all we were given during that first encounter.
This boss all of a sudden gave me challenge. The second part I died twice but I finally beat him. My heart was beating so fast. This fight was so intense!!! I never use that fireballs that go around lol. I don't know you can cheese him like that.
He brought 2 hands to a knife fight. What did he expect, lol!
Unpopular opinion but this fight> titan the tension in the scene right prior was fucking intense
I also was a little let down by the actual Titan fight. I think the music made it really underwhelming, which is a big scar for a game that mostly has an amazing soundtrack.
It might be that I just hate him so much but his boss fight is probably was the most enjoyable and most satisfying to do
This build up and music reminds me of Kenshiro vs Raoh the Conqueror!
Why they didn't make Clive go eikon mode against Kupka's, is beyond me.
Did you not play the game?
@kei7540 I did, that's why I was disappointed.
I don't mean eikon mode like them transforming into the gods. But rather, Clive is doing what Kupka is doing. It felt weird seeing someone go all out while Clive was just "nah, my Eikon gauge is kinda limited"
@@J-leaf Did you pay attention to the previous section before this fight?
@@kei7540 The execution part? Torgal transformation? Gav to the rescue? Look man are you gonna go somewhere with what you're saying or are you just gonna keep saying stuff?
@@J-leaf the boss fight at drakes breath. He tries to go ifrit mode but can't.... which is right before this
When he cut them hands on 😅 man o man the story is fire thinking about getting the dlc I am hooked 😂
4:32 Now DIE!
Clive: (listens to his speech and the mention of his hands) Hmm...
“Cross you? I’ll kill you!”
Scary Bald Man

This was what sealed for me that this was such a spectacularly concocted mutual hatred.
Both have taken from one another. There is no talk of reconciling or burying the hatchet.
They’re both out for one another’s blood with equal levels or ferocity, and this made Hugo feel like a compelling nemesis to Clive in a way that Barnabas, despite being awesome in his own way, didn’t match in my opinion.
I love this scene so much because it's when Clive gets PETTY
9:34. A fine Swing... ned stark would be proud...
Funfact: Kupka in polish means little shit.
4:33 now die button
When King of Skill and Nairo meet in Smash Ultimate Online.😂
I love how Clive is no non-sense in this game. He was 100% going to remove Hugo's head had he not been interrupted. No last minute mercy or some other crap. Hugo was a major threat and Clive was gonna end it right then and there.
Let that man know Clive.
9:38 it was the that moment hugo got liquid snake'd
Revolver Ocelot'd
If only someone lent Hugo a hand… or 2
Bro.😂
If only Hugo learned how to keep his HANDS to himself. Now he has none!
9:56 My HaDzZ
Clive is just a certified badass.
