It's so funny how so many people while suggesting this theme to me would describe Brachy as if I didn't know him considering there is a BRACHYDIOS HEAD on my shelf on the background of all my videos lol And by the way, have you watched all my MH music reaction videos yet? Check this playlist to see if you missed any: ruclips.net/video/XqtHu7pWo5I/видео.html
I've watched a lot of people doing Raging Brachy for the first time in Iceborne and every time they all say something like "this doesn't seem too different from normal brachy" just before the final phase, and then the floor explodes and this music kicks in and immediately their confidence just falls out from beneath them. This is just as much Raging Brachy's fight theme as it is his proclamation that if he must die, he will die with a fight and nobody has ever failed to understand that that I've seen. Absolutely love how much Monster Hunter not only does good music, but has excellent awareness of the context of their music, just like how the opening to bazel's theme relies on the fact that the theme starts before you've seen him most of the time since it starts as he flies over a different fight you're having; that attention to detail is lost on so many, but really makes the song's impact so much greater in my opinion.
I never liked fighting any Brachydios, but for Raging, the music is so epic, and the hunt progression so seamless, that I end up enjoing it much more than I'd like to admit! (... If I'm hunting with 3 other players)
@@greebrotf8724 I feel you, bro. I fully agree, and understand! I played most of the game solo (with the exception of Behe, Kulve, etc). But fighting Brachy with HH solo feels like a chore hahaha

Lore wise it is Elder Dragon levels of strong the only reason it isn’t classified as one is because the guild can explain how it exists and how it does what it does
@@callmepoki nah the reason for it is that he is still a brute wyvern and the guild knows how they exist tho they are extremly large specimen of brachydios who have ancient slime mold which is extremely explosive and only a few survive and live on to be raging brachydios
I remember farming normal G rank brachy for a week in 4U to get Palliums. Got 50 kills with none dropping and stopped. Then did coop with my brother on the same exact mission and I got it the first try. Did a few more with him until I had a good amount and got a Pallium about every other Brachy...pure WTF.
I love how well the song conveys this feeling of speed and unpredictability since, in Iceborne, his fight has two phases. The first phase he's slower than a normal Brachydios, which makes sense given how much bigger he is than his standard brethren, but then in the final confrontation where this song starts playing he gets a lot faster. Maybe even faster than a normal Brachy, but I don't really get a chance to pay that much attention.
The part where the music suddenly accelerates I think was made if not best represents his nova, or his ultimate attack. The rapid punching of the ground, along with the build up of explosive slime and explosions, along with the sudden acceleration of notes and beat. It sounds like something winding up to a massive climax, it's reaching a fever pitch, which Raging Brachydios does as he winds up for the final punch that sets off the entire room with a large explosion. It would be insanely cool if the song was made so it switches over to that part the moment he actually does the attack, because when it does play in that circumstance the tension, the excitement, the adrenaline is just so high, it boils over and then... well.. explodes.
This Theme Is Special.. This plays just in the last phase of the fight after dealing enough damage, trapping the Hunter in an specific zone without exit Brachydios punches the Floor, and then, all the place Is covered in Slime Brachydios has a symbiotic relation with this Slime bacteria If the Slime abandons his body, His death Is inevitable, he's gonna die trying to defeat the Hunter, even His Ebonshell Is softened due to the heat in the place, damaging himself with his own explosions Is a deathmatch in a Cage, and just one of both Will live. The Theme of Normal Brachydios Is called "Brutish Indigo.", But in MH3U OST Is called "Brave Icon.", And even the MHW Version sounds kinda heroic Just like Crimson Glow Valstrax, there's not a beautiful comet, here's not a Brave Icon, a Hero, not anymore, This Is the Apex of his own kin, and he Will die fighting until His last breath Great Video, i was waiting for This Theme, thank You :) Now let's wait for Proof of a Hero from GU and Dalamadur Theme. 🦆❣️
specially if you consider the lore of a raging brachydios, their ancient slime is given upon birth and explodes violently and can kill the youngling. which means seeing a adult one is surprisingly rare to see.
"Brachydios punches the Floor..." Punches? He gives the floor an entire hour-long combo in seconds. When asked the question "How fast do i need to punch a chicken to cook it?" His answer is "Let's find out"
7:07 This entire section of the song is my definite favorite. The violins in the background playing a sinister version of “Brutish Indigo”/“Brave Icon”, while the foreground plays quick, tense notes… 😤👌
Another amazing reaction made! Another aspect that I love for Raging Brachy is how they've not only given him a proper theme, but they also gave him vocals. Usually that's saved for the really important elder dragons, so him having it really adds to this powerful atmosphere and experience. If you're looking for another monster theme to react to, how about Namielle? Nami's theme is always a pleasure to listen to!
Watching this series so far has really open my eyes, or ears, to the music in MH. Like I always knew it was good, but it's surprising how much you miss when you're scrambling to fight something like a raging brachy.
This ost is even more impactful when you first hear it because when we first fight Raging Brachy it started off with the normal Brachy theme and only when he goes to phase 2 that his theme changes to this one.
Raging Brachy is such a fascinating creature A monster so stubborn it demands to be treated like an elder dragon. Getting vocals in his theme, not getting capture, and flat out refusing to let you run off. Man looks you in the eyes after he stops running and says “you started it, now we finish it.” And after that he doesn't stop or run no matter how low he gets. Its a death match in a cage. He is so determined to squash this pesky bug that interrupted his routine stroll that he is willing to damage HIMSELF! In the hopes of killing you. Truly what all monster should aspire to be like. Raging Brachy will forever be an elder dragon in my heart.
I imagine that last high pitched strings are the hunters overcoming the threatening brachy (portrayed in bass) and proceed to bringing him down, by raising the key. Unlike the first hunter portrayal in comical sounds (our first 3-5 failed attempts on raging brachy lol), the ending is where we finally able to read the random patterns and make the song ours. Love this iteration of the theme!
Little lore signifigance considering how much more powerful and percussive the theme is When Brachydios are said to be born, they are not resistant to the slime that they are meant to bond with later in life. Since they are unknown to this alien substance, most end up dying very quickly from injury of the explosive slime, so the ones you fight in-game managed to bond with the slime and age with it's powers. Knowing that Raging Brachydios are even older Brachys, it's clear that they've had a lot of time to harness and control the Slime's power to become as powerful as they are. Thus, the theme really reflects on that power and I love it for that (even if I much prefer the normal theme over the chanting theme of Raging)
I love this song so much, Brachy already had a great theme and they turned it up to 11. It’s funny, I was a little disappointed in how Brachydios was depicted in Iceborne, but they totally redeemed it with Raging Brachy. Probably because I started with 3U and always saw Brachy as a boss and now he’s pretty much mid-tier. Raging was such an amazing and intense fight, and this music to cap it off *chefs kiss*. I always felt raging in prior games was kind of cheap with the counter explosions, so the way they did it for iceborne was a great balance. Loved the breakdown, for some reason the 4 piano notes before the big buildup/crescendo is my favorite. I think it’s because it is sort of a marker for where the best part of the song (imo) is.
The frontier vid!!! I am literally so excited to see you do your first frontier related vid!!! The Crimson Demon one in the QnA should be a great taste of just how crazy awesome the frontier soundtrack is, as it’s considered the best in the series by many including myself. I legit can’t wait to see Shantien’s 4 phases show up or something!
Can't believe I'm only just catching up with this! This was fantastic, I love how these MH themes love to change and throw you off balance. You really get a sense of a charging beast at the beginning. I definitely agree about the cartoony high pitched notes in the middle. For some reason it was giving me a Tom and Jerry vibe! 😂 it really intensifies at the end with the awesome vocals! Thanks for sharing this Davi and congratulations on passing 10K subs! X
Hell yeah, Raging Brachydios was a blast! (pun intended) I also loved that the quest had the same name as the Raging Brachy quest in 4U, "Achy Brachy Heart" , a song reference. Brachy's theme just gets me going, I almost like that middle brass section in the normal theme more, but the choir almost chanting it is epic as well! And yeah, generally the theme with the AT themes (another pun intended) was: add choir! Please do Kulve Taroth (+AT) and Velkhana (+AT)! :)
Really hoping you're planning on reacting to Laurence, The First Vicar at some point. It's a very personal piece of music to me and I think it's the gold standard for musical storytelling. It's telling the tale of regret, but moves through so many emotions with each section like denial, into anger, realisation and anguish. It's truly beautiful, a masterpiece and I know you will adore it
This is probably one of my favorite themes ever, I absolutely love the vocals and how energetic it is. Not too strong and off-putting but just right, and just the right monster too!
How weird I was expecting to see the number one fanboy of Brachi in here, maybe he's just out of breath from the excitement of someone else praising the Brach 🤣. Great analysis as always, I really enjoy the way you explain the complexity of the music.
7:30 that was my same reaction. Loved this big brassy part in the og theme, and I was pumped hearing the choir jump in on it. In between panic dives of course haha
very nice. I'm looking forward to it ^^.Unfortunately I could never play frontier but I still listened to all the themes because I love the music in Monster Hunter.
Doing this fight for the first time was an amazing experience. I remember thinking that there was no excuse, no reason for a monster’s theme to sound this cool. I kinda had this moment where I was thrown off by how good the music was and I was just in a state of running for my life and admiring the music in the moment and then I had to regain my composure and re-center myself in order to finish off the fight. Was truly an amazing and extremely memorable experience making it one of my favorite if not my favorite track in MHW: Iceborne.
My first Raging Brachy run, I was *scared* as shit. We had one faint left. And when the Brachy locked us into the cage match final phase.. you bet my heart was pounding!! I had to sit back and breath for a minute after we clutched that victory.
100% legit, I played this in my car while driving to town a year or two ago, not long after beating him for the first time. I look down at the speedometer halfway through and see I'm doing 60 in a 40. Dammit XD
I loved this fight, there was very little room for error as a Melee player and it was super tense almost like your hunter was going up against something that was way over their league in terms of power and might.
I always found his OST be chaotic, thankyou for telling why, these 7, 8, 8, 9 beats is just to mess with us I could never figure this one out, as always nice breakdown.
This really got me pumped the first time I got down to that final area. It really is a monster by lore to rival the elder dragons since (before Rise) vocals were only kept for elder dragons, the creatures of environmental annihilation. You corner it in it's nest, it traps you in with it with lava blocking all exits, you can't trap it, you can't use a farcaster to escape. It's going all out to take you down and can cover the whole area with Flashpoint Slime to save itself, even if it takes damage too. It truly is a monster that is peaking in intelligence to almost elder dragon levels.
what ive always loved about the brachy themes is they feel so much they fit the monster its attached to then any other them for me, every big beat feels like hes throwing a punch or explosions with regular brachy it just feels like a fight but with brachy it feels more like a true battle like he has a evil intent behind the punches and not just trying to fight you.
This is great because whenever I fight Raging Brachy, I always have my music down pretty low due to having to concentrate so hard and communicate with my friends while dying over and over again, so this is awesome to revisit and actually pay attention to 😂
I will never forget this fight, my heart was beating so freaking fast because I didn't expect him to do that! And the theme is soo good! 👌 I wonder if he'll react to the themes variations and the rest of the album :D
haha it's nice to find another individual who provides a comprehensive and succinct overview of the technical intricacies that covertly take place in vgm music. I genuinely hope that you expand on the diversity of reactions as i've noticed a lot of MH and BB reactions, other games need some love too :) some suggestions for future reactions: 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim (VALINE, DEOXYRIBOSE, PHENYLALANINE etc.) Nier Replicant (Temple of Drifting Sands, Fleeting Words, Song of the Ancients; and countless others), Ace Combat 7 (Anchorhead Raid, Magic Spear I, Daredevil) Nonetheless, I can't wait to learn more about music theory! Your content is very informative and educational.
Thank you for the suggestions! I've been expanding the content but it has to be done slowly, otherwise people won't watch it. I few months ago any non-MH videos would completely flop. Now I've been sneaking in some soulsborne videos, building an audience little by little and now soulsborne videos do as well as the MH ones. My goal is to ultimately be able to post a video about any game music and have the video perform well.
I always see notes and measures as numbers and distances from each other, and I think there's a simple concept for the crazy 7889 pattern you just mentioned. Maybe its just simple addition of 7+8+8+9 to make 32, because 7+9 is 16, half of 32 and 32 is a multiple of 4, a basic measure for beginners iirc. Anyway, great decomposition! And its funny to see you running out of breath even when you're not boxing with brach 🤣
The back half of this track hits so hard. When Raging came out, I’d just put that part on loop for like 15 minutes at a time. This might be my favorite music in the game
Hey, thank you for having a look it that theme! I kinda want to add a bit myself here: 1. The Lyrics at the very beginning is (as far as I am aware, correct me if you know more) just jibberish and mumbling, no no real text. But over time I kinda developed my own text for it that I usually sing or hum while I listen to the theme. Text goes as followed: I... prepared... to defy... the (multiple choises here) annihilation/Damnation/Domination... I... Prepared... As you can see, its from the hunters view as he is ready to fight literal living destruction. That leads me to 2. Davi explained why the theme is chaotic. (Im a noob in terms of music) But he explained that it sounds chaotic because it changes from 7 to 8 to 9 beats. I also noticed that during playing but as I said, Im no expert in music so I didnt bother to think why it sound chaotic. However, Chaotic totally fits for this fight. The fight is usually pure chaos and cannot be compared to anything. Raging Brachydios hitboxes are vastly different and larger, his attacks are more devestating and quicker, and at past, they are extremely had to evade. One is expecially hard to evade as it can followe the hunter, making evasion near Impossible. I normally just run around, entirely chaotic, trying to doge it SOMEHOW. Thats why I think the chaos in his theme is set in perfectly. 3. At last, the shock. Im not sure tbh, but when I first fought him and I got to the last Phase, I was blown away by his change of theme, suddenly getting its own lyrics and making me panic while he nukes the ground. That was the moment fell in love with this theme. A bit sad it isnt as powerful as it was on me when it hit for the first time. Now, Ive seen it requested a fe und times already, but I as well would LOVE to hear my number 1 favorite MH Theme ever: Zinogre
Love this video. So interesting as always! This is a memorable piece for me. I like the part in this piece where the flowing piano tone is playing after sounding the phrase of 3U version. When I listening to this, I can’t have time to catch my breath since this piece is progressing in rapid-fire way. So tense, l love that. Thank you for this video!
They added a new bridge just before the climax if the old Brachydios theme at 7:08 to build the excitement even higher. But what makes it even better is that at 7:37 they add that bridge to the climax, so now the old and the new come together. It really gives you the sense that this isn't your average Brachydios and, excuse my language, this Brachydios isn't fucking around.
Oi Davi. This theme is just so hyper - it really depicts the battle well. I’m in awe of you video game music composers. Your skills are immense. Looking forward to the next video :)
Also, while fighting it I just could imagine a lyric singing something like: He´s the one who breaks the earthquakes With punches He´s the one who destroy whole mountains With roars
Ive always felt as if brachydios theme generally sounds like a Disney hero vs. the big bad guy. The latter half of the track is the resolution, where the hero is slowly starting to win against all odds. Out of all the boss themes in monster hunter, brachy's theme captures the personality of the actual fight the best.
Literally my favourite OST in Iceborne ❤️❤️❤️ The fact that once you're in the last phase Raging Brachydios is giving its all by trapping both you and itself to the battle of the death to prove who will outlast the other while the music just gives so much power on how THIS IS where everything settled once and for all.
Really nice analysis or the Raging Brachy I would love to see your reaction to Glavenus' theme The swordmaster has such a fitting theme for himself, with beats that sound like the swordtail is slamming down into the song itself
Dude if he covers shara ishvaldas theme, my heart would melt Shara Ishvalda is my top number 1 monster from recent games, i even have a lotus flower tattoo that i decided to get because of how much i love Sharas inspiration and theme
Hey Davi! First of all: I love your Monster Hunter Reaction videos so much! You explain it in ways that even music-amateurs ( I play euphonium in a brass-band) understand everything you want to say- you visualize your explanations and that is fantastic! Monster Hunter tracks will always have a special place in my heart and they still give me goosebumps or even tears in the eye after all this time :D. With your little explanations it is even more exiting to listen to these fantastic songs, paying attention on what you told us about them. I would loooove to see a reaction on the Mizutsune (MH Rise), Rajang (MH World) or the song 'Succession of Light' (MHW:I). Anyways, I will watch every Monster Hunter-Reaction Video on your channel with great interest. :) Thank you so much and keep up your amazing work!
I don't know how other people feel about fighting him, but for me fighting him, especially solo, along with this song, it gives me the feeling that I'm finally having my final battle against my longtime rival. and what sayn about this monster that is probably even more proud than some elder dragons, to the point of trapping you in a battle to the death where only one can get out alive.
Outside of the atmosphere that this song creates for the final battle (which is incredible), I feel he's way more fun to fight than normal Brachydios. I don't particularly like the clutch claw, but you can use it to tenderize his legs and create a reasonable weak point for smaller weapons like my SnS to hit. I love this fight in Iceborne.
The legendary brachydios 🥲 so happy I found this! I fight him cause I feel the song encapsules the soul of the brachydios fight,the thrill of the hunt! Not many monsters have that,but omg when they do I go bonkers for the song instead of the monster 🤣 stay awesome and keep up the amazing work bruddah!
I know vocals are more commum thede days in MH, but in this game, the way they put it, this means this fight is not your average fights. This is my favorite fight in this game, also one of the hardest late game monsters.
Been rewatching some of your old videos and gotta say I still love this theme especially in comparison to the original. The original gives me the feeling of two rivals trying to best one another in good fun but Raging's theme feels more final to me. Like both hunter and monster have gone so far and it's finally time to end the rivalry once and for all. There's still the fun aspect of it but the song in total is so much more intense especially since at the start of the hunt itself Normal Brachydios' theme plays and only once youve driven him to the final area does this song play so you know its the end and both need to give it your all.
@@DaviVasc Hope this didn’t get lost! If I missed the reaction on stream, my mistake, but I never caught the video, or maybe I’m just blind. Keep up the good work, your Godrick video was so fun to watch.

The downward pitch you pointed out at about 6:25 reminds me of the XIIIth struggle
Just a reminder that R.Brach Immortal Reactor part had a 1% drop chance on the old games up to 4U. After 400h, he still never drop one for me.
I remember farming normal G rank brachy for a week in 4U to get Palliums. Got 50 kills with none dropping and stopped. Then did coop with my brother on the same exact mission and I got it the first try. Did a few more with him until I had a good amount and got a Pallium about every other Brachy...pure WTF.
Then there is people complaining about 3% drop rates on Destiny 2😂
I love how well the song conveys this feeling of speed and unpredictability since, in Iceborne, his fight has two phases.

The rapid punching of the ground, along with the build up of explosive slime and explosions, along with the sudden acceleration of notes and beat. It sounds like something winding up to a massive climax, it's reaching a fever pitch, which Raging Brachydios does as he winds up for the final punch that sets off the entire room with a large explosion.
It would be insanely cool if the song was made so it switches over to that part the moment he actually does the attack, because when it does play in that circumstance the tension, the excitement, the adrenaline is just so high, it boils over and then... well.. explodes.
This Theme Is Special..
This plays just in the last phase of the fight after dealing enough damage, trapping the Hunter in an specific zone without exit
Brachydios punches the Floor, and then, all the place Is covered in Slime
Brachydios has a symbiotic relation with this Slime bacteria
If the Slime abandons his body, His death Is inevitable, he's gonna die trying to defeat the Hunter, even His Ebonshell Is softened due to the heat in the place, damaging himself with his own explosions
Is a deathmatch in a Cage, and just one of both Will live.
The Theme of Normal Brachydios Is called "Brutish Indigo.", But in MH3U OST Is called "Brave Icon.", And even the MHW Version sounds kinda heroic
Just like Crimson Glow Valstrax, there's not a beautiful comet, here's not a Brave Icon, a Hero, not anymore, This Is the Apex of his own kin, and he Will die fighting until His last breath
Great Video, i was waiting for This Theme, thank You :)
Now let's wait for Proof of a Hero from GU and Dalamadur Theme. 🦆❣️
specially if you consider the lore of a raging brachydios, their ancient slime is given upon birth and explodes violently and can kill the youngling. which means seeing a adult one is surprisingly rare to see.
Brachy used his Haki awakening duh. Summoning slimey lava like things lol

Little lore signifigance considering how much more powerful and percussive the theme is
When Brachydios are said to be born, they are not resistant to the slime that they are meant to bond with later in life. Since they are unknown to this alien substance, most end up dying very quickly from injury of the explosive slime, so the ones you fight in-game managed to bond with the slime and age with it's powers. Knowing that Raging Brachydios are even older Brachys, it's clear that they've had a lot of time to harness and control the Slime's power to become as powerful as they are. Thus, the theme really reflects on that power and I love it for that (even if I much prefer the normal theme over the chanting theme of Raging)
I love this song so much, Brachy already had a great theme and they turned it up to 11. It’s funny, I was a little disappointed in how Brachydios was depicted in Iceborne, but they totally redeemed it with Raging Brachy. Probably because I started with 3U and always saw Brachy as a boss and now he’s pretty much mid-tier. Raging was such an amazing and intense fight, and this music to cap it off *chefs kiss*. I always felt raging in prior games was kind of cheap with the counter explosions, so the way they did it for iceborne was a great balance. Loved the breakdown, for some reason the 4 piano notes before the big buildup/crescendo is my favorite. I think it’s because it is sort of a marker for where the best part of the song (imo) is.
Honestly i never felt base brachi as a boss back in 4u, in fact i remember him being very easy.
So they might have made him simpler way before mhwi
I feel like every Monster Hunter theme with a choir is outstanding
_"Not even fighting this thing and I'm almost passing out here"_ 🤣🤣
I really appreciate how detailed your breakdowns are
That makes me happy, thank you
The frontier vid!!! I am literally so excited to see you do your first frontier related vid!!! The Crimson Demon one in the QnA should be a great taste of just how crazy awesome the frontier soundtrack is, as it’s considered the best in the series by many including myself.
I legit can’t wait to see Shantien’s 4 phases show up or something!
Frontier vids will come!
Can't believe I'm only just catching up with this! This was fantastic, I love how these MH themes love to change and throw you off balance. You really get a sense of a charging beast at the beginning. I definitely agree about the cartoony high pitched notes in the middle. For some reason it was giving me a Tom and Jerry vibe! 😂 it really intensifies at the end with the awesome vocals! Thanks for sharing this Davi and congratulations on passing 10K subs! X
Thanks Abigail!
Hell yeah, Raging Brachydios was a blast! (pun intended)
I also loved that the quest had the same name as the Raging Brachy quest in 4U, "Achy Brachy Heart" , a song reference.
Brachy's theme just gets me going, I almost like that middle brass section in the normal theme more, but the choir almost chanting it is epic as well!
And yeah, generally the theme with the AT themes (another pun intended) was: add choir!
Please do Kulve Taroth (+AT) and Velkhana (+AT)! :)
Thank you for the suggestions!
Really hoping you're planning on reacting to Laurence, The First Vicar at some point. It's a very personal piece of music to me and I think it's the gold standard for musical storytelling.
It's telling the tale of regret, but moves through so many emotions with each section like denial, into anger, realisation and anguish.
It's truly beautiful, a masterpiece and I know you will adore it
I'm planning on it, yes!
This is probably one of my favorite themes ever, I absolutely love the vocals and how energetic it is. Not too strong and off-putting but just right, and just the right monster too!
A certain part in raging brachy's theme reminds me a lot of kulve's music
7:37 specifically
How weird I was expecting to see the number one fanboy of Brachi in here, maybe he's just out of breath from the excitement of someone else praising the Brach 🤣.
Great analysis as always, I really enjoy the way you explain the complexity of the music.
I'm sure Rage will appear soon enough
7:30 that was my same reaction. Loved this big brassy part in the og theme, and I was pumped hearing the choir jump in on it. In between panic dives of course haha
Choirs are never not hype
Rebidiora theme; mi Ru theme; duremudira theme.
No need to answer just consider listening to them. Great Monster Hunter themes^^
I feel compelled to answer to a distinct Gamelord such as yourself. Thank you for the suggestions. I'll do videos on Frontier, I promise.
very nice. I'm looking forward to it ^^.Unfortunately I could never play frontier but I still listened to all the themes because I love the music in Monster Hunter.
Doing this fight for the first time was an amazing experience. I remember thinking that there was no excuse, no reason for a monster’s theme to sound this cool. I kinda had this moment where I was thrown off by how good the music was and I was just in a state of running for my life and admiring the music in the moment and then I had to regain my composure and re-center myself in order to finish off the fight. Was truly an amazing and extremely memorable experience making it one of my favorite if not my favorite track in MHW: Iceborne.
My first Raging Brachy run, I was *scared* as shit. We had one faint left. And when the Brachy locked us into the cage match final phase.. you bet my heart was pounding!! I had to sit back and breath for a minute after we clutched that victory.
and you even have a Brachi head sculpture on one of your shelves, true fan right there. Great vid!
It's the head of a brachy I hunted irl
100% legit, I played this in my car while driving to town a year or two ago, not long after beating him for the first time. I look down at the speedometer halfway through and see I'm doing 60 in a 40. Dammit XD
This theme is so good. I got chills the first time the room locked and exploded. So so amazing
This theme in a fight without retreat until the hunter or the Brachy goes down is so good
I loved this fight, there was very little room for error as a Melee player and it was super tense almost like your hunter was going up against something that was way over their league in terms of power and might.
This is actually my favorite theme in monster hunter, every time I fight him and this part of the song comes I get pumped to fight this monster
I always found his OST be chaotic, thankyou for telling why, these 7, 8, 8, 9 beats is just to mess with us I could never figure this one out, as always nice breakdown.
Thank you!
This really got me pumped the first time I got down to that final area. It really is a monster by lore to rival the elder dragons since (before Rise) vocals were only kept for elder dragons, the creatures of environmental annihilation.
You corner it in it's nest, it traps you in with it with lava blocking all exits, you can't trap it, you can't use a farcaster to escape. It's going all out to take you down and can cover the whole area with Flashpoint Slime to save itself, even if it takes damage too. It truly is a monster that is peaking in intelligence to almost elder dragon levels.
what ive always loved about the brachy themes is they feel so much they fit the monster its attached to then any other them for me, every big beat feels like hes throwing a punch or explosions with regular brachy it just feels like a fight but with brachy it feels more like a true battle like he has a evil intent behind the punches and not just trying to fight you.
This is great because whenever I fight Raging Brachy, I always have my music down pretty low due to having to concentrate so hard and communicate with my friends while dying over and over again, so this is awesome to revisit and actually pay attention to 😂
I will never forget this fight, my heart was beating so freaking fast because I didn't expect him to do that! And the theme is soo good! 👌
I wonder if he'll react to the themes variations and the rest of the album :D
This theme truly captures just how powerful this monster is. You're not simply fighting it, you're surviving it
Damn, I asked for it and here it is, thx a lot it was great seeing you analyse and enjoying one of my favorite Monster Theme
Don't tell anybody but my next video is a non-MH one and then after that its Ceadeus time
@@DaviVasc my lips are sealed
@@DaviVasc very interesting, I await both with great interest
Love these videos, gives an extra bit of depth that an untrained ear like mine never would of noticed
haha it's nice to find another individual who provides a comprehensive and succinct overview of the technical intricacies that covertly take place in vgm music. I genuinely hope that you expand on the diversity of reactions as i've noticed a lot of MH and BB reactions, other games need some love too :)
some suggestions for future reactions: 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim (VALINE, DEOXYRIBOSE, PHENYLALANINE etc.) Nier Replicant (Temple of Drifting Sands, Fleeting Words, Song of the Ancients; and countless others), Ace Combat 7 (Anchorhead Raid, Magic Spear I, Daredevil)
Nonetheless, I can't wait to learn more about music theory! Your content is very informative and educational.
Thank you for the suggestions! I've been expanding the content but it has to be done slowly, otherwise people won't watch it. I few months ago any non-MH videos would completely flop. Now I've been sneaking in some soulsborne videos, building an audience little by little and now soulsborne videos do as well as the MH ones. My goal is to ultimately be able to post a video about any game music and have the video perform well.
9:14 for whatever reason I think this part is awesome... the piano combined with the sound track forms a very divine sound
Piano + orchestra is a very good combo
I always see notes and measures as numbers and distances from each other, and I think there's a simple concept for the crazy 7889 pattern you just mentioned. Maybe its just simple addition of 7+8+8+9 to make 32, because 7+9 is 16, half of 32 and 32 is a multiple of 4, a basic measure for beginners iirc. Anyway, great decomposition! And its funny to see you running out of breath even when you're not boxing with brach 🤣
he is as a composer
Great video! And for my favorite monster, thanks! :D
No worries, Nexus :D
The back half of this track hits so hard. When Raging came out, I’d just put that part on loop for like 15 minutes at a time. This might be my favorite music in the game
Hey, thank you for having a look it that theme!
I kinda want to add a bit myself here:
1. The Lyrics at the very beginning is (as far as I am aware, correct me if you know more) just jibberish and mumbling, no no real text. But over time I kinda developed my own text for it that I usually sing or hum while I listen to the theme. Text goes as followed: I... prepared... to defy... the (multiple choises here) annihilation/Damnation/Domination... I... Prepared...
As you can see, its from the hunters view as he is ready to fight literal living destruction. That leads me to
2. Davi explained why the theme is chaotic. (Im a noob in terms of music) But he explained that it sounds chaotic because it changes from 7 to 8 to 9 beats. I also noticed that during playing but as I said, Im no expert in music so I didnt bother to think why it sound chaotic. However, Chaotic totally fits for this fight. The fight is usually pure chaos and cannot be compared to anything. Raging Brachydios hitboxes are vastly different and larger, his attacks are more devestating and quicker, and at past, they are extremely had to evade. One is expecially hard to evade as it can followe the hunter, making evasion near Impossible. I normally just run around, entirely chaotic, trying to doge it SOMEHOW. Thats why I think the chaos in his theme is set in perfectly.
3. At last, the shock. Im not sure tbh, but when I first fought him and I got to the last Phase, I was blown away by his change of theme, suddenly getting its own lyrics and making me panic while he nukes the ground. That was the moment fell in love with this theme. A bit sad it isnt as powerful as it was on me when it hit for the first time.
Now, Ive seen it requested a fe und times already, but I as well would LOVE to hear my number 1 favorite MH Theme ever: Zinogre
Been waiting for this lol. Now that this is done everyone who's been suggesting Raging are now going to suggest Kulve
Lots of people are suggesting Ishvalda as well
The choir is how you know you made a BIG mistake fighting this thing
Love this video. So interesting as always! This is a memorable piece for me. I like the part in this piece where the flowing piano tone is playing after sounding the phrase of 3U version. When I listening to this, I can’t have time to catch my breath since this piece is progressing in rapid-fire way. So tense, l love that. Thank you for this video!
Thank you for always watching my videos, Aya :)
They added a new bridge just before the climax if the old Brachydios theme at 7:08 to build the excitement even higher. But what makes it even better is that at 7:37 they add that bridge to the climax, so now the old and the new come together.
It really gives you the sense that this isn't your average Brachydios and, excuse my language, this Brachydios isn't fucking around.
It took forever to drag a friend into the series but when he heard Brachydios' theme he was hooked
YESS BRACHY!!! Brachydios is my favorite! Wait I didn't know he was your favorite too! That's so cool!
Yeah, he's been my fave since 3U!
Oi Davi. This theme is just so hyper - it really depicts the battle well. I’m in awe of you video game music composers. Your skills are immense. Looking forward to the next video :)
Thank you, Anne!
I couldn't care less about interpretation when I was in school, but hearing you give your interpretation on various music piecec seems really fun
The fact the final zone is literally impossible to get out show how suffocating is facing that BEAST
FINALLYYYYYYY
My punching explosive boy made it
And AAAAAAAA, it´s a honour to have the same favourite monster
Also, while fighting it I just could imagine a lyric singing something like:
He´s the one who breaks the earthquakes
With punches
He´s the one who destroy whole mountains
With roars
Ive always felt as if brachydios theme generally sounds like a Disney hero vs. the big bad guy. The latter half of the track is the resolution, where the hero is slowly starting to win against all odds.
Out of all the boss themes in monster hunter, brachy's theme captures the personality of the actual fight the best.
I love the way he describes the rhythm as "big brain"
I think I meant to say galaxy brain or some other cool slang the kids are saying nowadays
Literally my favourite OST in Iceborne ❤️❤️❤️
The fact that once you're in the last phase Raging Brachydios is giving its all by trapping both you and itself to the battle of the death to prove who will outlast the other while the music just gives so much power on how THIS IS where everything settled once and for all.
Managing to Solo Raging Brachy was such a hype moment in my Monster Hunter career,
I really appreciate you taking the time to analyze this piece of art! I'm so glad I discovered your beautiful channel Davi :)
I appreciate you taking the time to listen, my friend
Really nice analysis or the Raging Brachy
I would love to see your reaction to Glavenus' theme
The swordmaster has such a fitting theme for himself, with beats that sound like the swordtail is slamming down into the song itself
I looove glavenus' theme!
@@DaviVasc Would make me all the more happier to see an analysis to Glavenus
I hunted this guy like 3 dozen times in Iceborne, they really delivered with his return!
God this theme is so GOOD bro, so good
Raging Brachy last phase is still one of my favorite fights of any in MHW. It’s just so intense and exhilarating.
Raging Brachydio's theme is so intense! It really gives off the feeling of how much power this version of Brachy has.
Love that intro 😂 This theme is so perfect for Brachy and the mount theme really intensifies the percussion and it's just 👌 Keep doing what you do!
Thanks, Lunell! Give the pup a lil' pet for me!
This song sounds like you're fighting an open nuclear reactor
A certain monster hunting youtuber would love this video. Ragegamingvideos's Josh loves Brachydios.
When this theme plays and you're at the final stage, it was at that moment Raging Brachydios became an Elder Dragon.
Dude if he covers shara ishvaldas theme, my heart would melt
Shara Ishvalda is my top number 1 monster from recent games, i even have a lotus flower tattoo that i decided to get because of how much i love Sharas inspiration and theme
It's not a mateer of "if", it's a matter of "when"
This theme is already amazing, but jesus they really went all out on the mount theme lol. I love it
Hey Davi!
First of all: I love your Monster Hunter Reaction videos so much! You explain it in ways that even music-amateurs ( I play euphonium in a brass-band) understand everything you want to say- you visualize your explanations and that is fantastic!
Monster Hunter tracks will always have a special place in my heart and they still give me goosebumps or even tears in the eye after all this time :D. With your little explanations it is even more exiting to listen to these fantastic songs, paying attention on what you told us about them.
I would loooove to see a reaction on the Mizutsune (MH Rise), Rajang (MH World) or the song 'Succession of Light' (MHW:I).
Anyways, I will watch every Monster Hunter-Reaction Video on your channel with great interest. :)
Thank you so much and keep up your amazing work!
Thank you for watching and thank you for the suggestions :)
Hell yeah, keep up the great content
Thank you, Nico!
I don't know how other people feel about fighting him, but for me fighting him, especially solo, along with this song, it gives me the feeling that I'm finally having my final battle against my longtime rival.
and what sayn about this monster that is probably even more proud than some elder dragons, to the point of trapping you in a battle to the death where only one can get out alive.
I feel the same about raging just amazing
Outside of the atmosphere that this song creates for the final battle (which is incredible), I feel he's way more fun to fight than normal Brachydios. I don't particularly like the clutch claw, but you can use it to tenderize his legs and create a reasonable weak point for smaller weapons like my SnS to hit. I love this fight in Iceborne.
Finally! Thank you for this one!!!
No worries man. Thank you for watching
Raging Brachydios' theme is one of my favorites in MHW. It truly does justice to the fearsome beast that he is.
Yay! Hoped you would do this one, this and the kulve themes are my favorite!
I'll do a video on Kulve soon too!
The legendary brachydios 🥲 so happy I found this! I fight him cause I feel the song encapsules the soul of the brachydios fight,the thrill of the hunt! Not many monsters have that,but omg when they do I go bonkers for the song instead of the monster 🤣 stay awesome and keep up the amazing work bruddah!
Thanks man!
I know vocals are more commum thede days in MH, but in this game, the way they put it, this means this fight is not your average fights. This is my favorite fight in this game, also one of the hardest late game monsters.
Theres a reason Raging Bracydios are considered elder dragon levels of dangerous.
Even elder dragons themselves will run away from this thing.
Yeah in its ecology on google he takes on akantor but not alatron and fatalis
Been rewatching some of your old videos and gotta say I still love this theme especially in comparison to the original. The original gives me the feeling of two rivals trying to best one another in good fun but Raging's theme feels more final to me. Like both hunter and monster have gone so far and it's finally time to end the rivalry once and for all. There's still the fun aspect of it but the song in total is so much more intense especially since at the start of the hunt itself Normal Brachydios' theme plays and only once youve driven him to the final area does this song play so you know its the end and both need to give it your all.
Absolutely beautiful raging brachydios
oooo yay. I love when you review themes
I loved what they did with this monster, and the new theme was the cherry on top of the cake
He looks so pretty in Iceborne
Raging Brachydios doesn't fear death, it fears defeat from the hunter. He demands respect and the hunter will give it to him.
Omg this sound gets me in cold sweats every time he goes rage mode
i have been waiting for this!!!!!!!
Glad you got the one you were waiting for!
Kulve Taroth’s Medley is legendary, would be very interesting to see your view on it.
Soon. Like, very soon.
@@DaviVasc Hope this didn’t get lost! If I missed the reaction on stream, my mistake, but I never caught the video, or maybe I’m just blind. Keep up the good work, your Godrick video was so fun to watch.
YES! ONE OF MY FAVORITE TRACKS IN THE GAME!
Its so good
Yes! One of my favourite themes EVER from a subspecies of my favourite monster! ^^
It must be nice finally covering raging brachy’s theme haha
It is! It was one of the most requested ever :D Thanks Palpatine
