My take: It's the spirit / soul of Circle that's still with Tri, and forever will be even in death because they were that close. Circle's symbol on the screens was a message, and they came to deliver that message.

Check out the original, linked in description =D This is just me adding subtitles to it for people to sing along. :)

If you ask me, it's the reverse, actually. These two are fighting for the gold, for money. Tri didn't care about the gold - he was out for revenge after the only thing that ever mattered to him had been taken from him over that meaningless gold. He even drops the gun after it had served its purpose, suggesting that he doesn't care about his own life any longer and feels nothing but emptiness after he got his revenge. Everyone who is "trying to move on" fundamentally got their values wrong, caring more about wealth and power than lives, while Tri feels like he doesn't belong in a world like this any longer, now all on his lonesome. That's my take, anyhow - like in my pinned comment. =D

I guess it's time to be severely dissapoint.

@@Dessarius Especially since they actually went out of their way to actively forbid any synth sounds to be on the game radio. Because someone thought, "not dark and gritty enough". In a neon, cheap-plastic and shiny-metal world full of k-pop. Rrrriiiight. I gave up trying to listen to any ingame music about 3h in. Severely disappointed, since for me, proper fitting music would've at least helped stomach that trainwreck of a launch a lot better.

Magnum's pain, sense of loss and vengeance. Klondike's greed, selfishness and vanity. Both in pain. Both mirrors of each other, but vastly different in reason. Klondike didn't like the fact he lost that money, and wanted to satiate his wounded vanity by taking it back out of greed and pride. Magnum, on the other hand, lost someone near and dear to his heart. Friend, lover, sibling... It's never known outright. He did what he did out of pain, out of revenge and justified wrath and sorrow. Klondike paid for his selfish, greedy and prideful nature. Magnum, However, though he avenged his pack and his dearest friend/love/brother, has to live with that pain, and grieve for his loss. Quite a story, all told through Synthwave music and the emotions of the animation.

Yea i noticed that too

Yiff yiff muthafuka. XD

And yet here you are. LOL 😆

Nice to see my fan name for the moose, Klondike, is getting more traction.

I already love the song but your comment makes this way better.

@@warcrimecrab Then, I guess you liked how close I may have guessed the story within this music video?

@@Lauer5Lynn you might have hit the nail on the head with a lot of tge details in my opinion.

@@warcrimecrab "tge"?

"Straight Brigade" was an autocorrect error from commenter josh mcglenn. They meant to type "Starlight Brigade", which is the other amazing music video made by the same artists: ruclips.net/video/J9Q3i5w6-Ug/видео.html

@@BlackSun404 Oh. Thank you for explaining this.

ah it's alright, comments like this reminds people of all the work being put in just 4 minutes and it deserves appreciation and recognition By the way, you chose the font style that fits so well with the background, it cannot get out of place or looks weird or anything. GOOD WORK :))!

Nice Animation form, I'll have to admit that. I sure wish someone would put together a full length movie about this triangle wolf. Is there a chance that the triangle wolf and the circle wolf might be orphans? how young could those two brothers have been when they lost their parents? Please take your time finding out. Thank you. From, Diana Lynn Lauer.

@@cathylauer6490 Well that's all up to interpretation for the viewer. They could be siblings, they could be lovers, they could be friends. There isn't much else to go on other than the deep pain Tri feels over the loss. Watching the animation very closely is all we can do to try and figure out the stories of the characters involved!

@@heartofscrimp2002 Thanks a lot =D I was really afraid I could steal too much focus from the main attraction by adding text over it, so I had several iterations to try and "go with the flow" of the animation as best as I could to make sure it doesn't feel too out of place. Also I really like reading all the theories other people come up with to make sense of what's shown. That's the beauty of having some ambiguity - everyone comes up with the theory they connect with the most and therefore, the emotional impact is much stronger. ... art, man.

@@BlackSun404 Someone might think that Tri and Sphere could be brothers that act like friends. (or is it the other way around?) Anyway, I didn't get how old the characters are/were in this animated music video. can you give me your opinion about their ages?

Right ? It's my favorite part.

All that pain, all that sorrow and loss riding on that one bullet... One Hell of an emotional scene.

@@thegameknight8916 and dem sick moves

​@@onedepressedgamerm6525 And that look of pain on Magnum's face as that bullet makes it's way to Klondike.

@@thegameknight8916 all the agony of losing a loved to the dystopian city of the future

Agreed! Go tell them, link in the description! I only added subtitles, after all. =D

@@BlackSun404 What do you think? look for my comment. Did I get the story/plot right or which mistakes were in there?

Absolutely. The video contextualizing the lyrics adds a whole new layer, too. Really makes you appreciate it so much more.

@@BlackSun404 it's a "brave up" song for anyone fighting for anything that is a worthy cause. Every day thing for me and so many.

Oh, yeah! That was actually the original reason for me to throw it into Vegas to begin with. Only after that, I took a shot at my first ever "lyrics" video with it, as it was already sitting there in front of me. Just as an experiment, to learn how to put in text, and all that stuff. ... and then, someone convinced me to create a YT channel to upload it. =D

@@BlackSun404 Well good they did! :D you should do more! Theyre easy to read

@@spidertwines Heh, thanks! I don't know what "more" there would be, though. I couldn't find a lyrics video for this song at the time of making, so that's why I did. I also tried to integrate the lyrics into the video by matching the aesthetics and making them flow with the context as best I could, rather than slapping on plain arial 8 superimposed white and calling it a day.

@@BlackSun404 Well, thanks for putting the lyrics in the music video.

Starlight Brigade? Yeah, that one was AMAZING. Alongside Starlight Brigade, Magnum Bullets continues (and maybe even doubles down) on the INSANE expressiveness Knights Of The Light Table are capable of putting into animation. There's just tons of incredibly effective subliminal language going into their work - raw emotion, refined into art. The message it carries hits hard - especially if you, personally, have ever felt anything like the protagonists of these videos. In Starlight Brigade it was longing for a place to belong, finding one's destiny, and fighting against a dominating, dark depression - proving to everyone you can achieve and make your dreams come true, despite the odds. Now in Magnum Bullets, it's the sheer pain of losing a loved one, and the future times that were meant to be with them, all taken away by wretched, careless greed. The expressive anthropomorphism only helps sell the emotions so much more - the grief, anger and need for vengeance, especially after everything Tri cared for had already been destroyed in his absence and he had nothing left to lose but his own life. Notice how Tri takes Circle's revolver to enact his vengeance - and how it is dropped afterwards when he just walks away at the end, showing he had nothing left to live for now and absolutely no interest in reclaiming the gold everyone else seemed to care so much about to the point of cruel murder. The heartbroken avenger got his vengeance, and yet, for him, it was an empty victory because it won't ever bring back his loved one - who was still with him in spirit to the very end. It's the bittersweetness of it - people care so much about wealth, power and reputation. Yet in the end, life itself is the most valuable and fading thing we have - no matter your social status or amount of gold you have. Taking a life to acquire more wealth ("always wanting more") means you got these values fundamentally wrong, and will continue to carelessly tread on others and cause more harm than you could ever understand in your delusion of "power". This lack of understanding is what killed the wealthy, "untouchable" moose. Star and Square, still caring about the gold, were no match for the villain - it was the raw passion and grief of Tri that defeated the moose, preventing the villain from ever hurting anyone else like he had already hurt Tri. This is what resonates so much with us, to the point of making us tear up. Knights Of The Light Table manage to expertly tell a meaningful, emotional story with their legendary art in just 4 minutes. In conjunction with Dan's wonderful vocals and lyrics, you get this absolute masterpiece of art. ... sorry, I got a little rambly there. But I appreciate these artists and their work so much.

@@BlackSun404 solid rant lol, I read every word. I agree completely!

@@CyrilOfTheWind Appreciated! =D And, for some additional story stuff, here's what I can guess from the end screens... Circle was gambling at a casino, and won the gold. Tri gets his stylish leather jacket gifted by Circle, notice the price tag still on it. Star seems to be, or was, a bounty hunter or something among those lines, possibly even working for the moose (yellow being their color, she's wearing a yellow coat). Then, there's a wanted poster, likely *framing* Circle for arson at the casino, painting them as a fugitive to control the media and justify the casino owner with his goons shooting up the place of celebration over Circle's lucky win. Because the house is supposed to always win, and it didn't. And parting with wealth seems to be out of question for the moose...

Thats just the awesome uncontainable power of the voice of avidan

@@BlackSun404 it was a good rant with a lot of truth to it.
