      I think Riptor's theme in this game feels kinda generic to me personally. Not as "out there and in your face" as all the other character themes. Probably should have been a remix of her KI1 theme like what was done with Cinder.

      well she is a ghost of vengeance hell bent on murdering everyone who desecrated the remains of her village after it had been sacked by imperial soldiers in the past, no one touched it on the account of that until Ultratech showed up and stole shit for Rick Flare and that REALLY pissed her off.

  • @GrahamChapman
    @GrahamChapman 8 лет назад +5051

    Listening to this, I just thought of something my Japanese teacher taught me: We were practicing greeting phrases, such as "moshi moshi", when it was my turn, I just said "moshi" and my Japanese teacher gave me a joking reprimand and some backstory on the phrase: Japanese people greet each other with the phrase "moshi moshi", especially when speaking on the phone, to identify each other as human. Youkai (japanese monsters) cannot speak proper human language, beast youkai because they do not have the right mouths and tongues to properly imitate our sounds, and youkai who were formerly humans have abandoned their humanity and so devolve and begin to lose the ability to speak like humans. Especially repeating words is impossible for youkai to do, so "moshi moshi" became a kind of trust phrase with the implication "I can repeat this word, so now you know that I am human" and if someone only says "moshi" it becomes a dead giveaway that they're not human.
    What about it? Well, during Hisako's theme, phrases are often repeated. ("Fukushu, fukushu", "kemuri, kemuri", "gyakusatsu, gyakusatsu", "ryuuketsu, ryuuketsu", "sakebu, sakebu".) Whether Mick did it intentionally or not, I think it would be quite significant to a Japanese person: Hisako is an onryou, but she's a rather unusual one. Instead of being an indiscriminating killer who curses everyone who gets in her way with her grudge, like a typical onryou would, she's out on a rather noble mission and only has one specific target for her grudge: Ultratech and the individuals associated with them. In other words, though she's an onryou, she hasn't abandoned her humanity and so she would probably still be able to pronounce repeating words.
    (And as for me, well, I still say just "moshi" when answering the phone and my argumentative nature eventually made my Japanese teacher decide that I'm actually an Amanojaku, a youkai of contradiction who goes against the norm, takes the opposite position and argues against people for the sheer hell of it... Well, that described me perfectly, so naturally I _had_ to deny being one.)

      Garrett Boomgaard
      Depends on what you mean with "revenant"... I mean, it's not like there's only one definition of what a revenant is. The earliest revenants were basically just vampires, some later ones rose from their graves to claim revenge against the one who killed them... So yeah, what kinda revenant are you referring to?

    • @garrettboomgaard1440

    • @GrahamChapman

      Garrett Boomgaard
      Then, on account of being a woman who was dead, and still is dead, but is pretty lively for a dead person, yes, I suppose she does meet your criterias for a revenant... as would most undead human beings I suppose... That said, I'd sooner identify Hisako as an onryou, though a pretty non-traditional one.

    • @darthlazurus4382
      @darthlazurus4382 7 лет назад +42

      GrahamChapman Aye, Revenant means "One who has returned" and is often used meaning from the grave.
      I dinnae think ghosts or zombies count as they haven't truly returned. Vampires, Mummies and the like are more accurate.

    So for those who don't know, a Yokai, a Japanese spirit or mythological creature in some capacity is often able to imitate the human form or our mannerisms, but they tend to have problems repeating themselves, like saying the same word twice in a row.
    Ever made a phone call over there and notice how they always say 'Moshi moshi'? It's to confirm if the person on the other end is a human and not someone possessed by an evil spirit or replaced by a shapeshifter.
    Apply this to Hisako's theme. She's an Onryo, a vengeful spirit and clearly not human anymore, but the vocals/lyrics repeat words. Despite her state of being Hisako retains her humanity in death and combines it with her otherwordly powers to chase UltraTech around for pillaging the graves in her village which she died for to defend in the first place.
    TL:Dr Hisako and her theme are top-tier in multiple ways.

      That's not the actual reason why people started using moshi moshi, is just a cool urban legend. And not every yōkai has that ability, some of them are even playful, like the kappa. But foxes are tricky and some vengeful ghosts, like an onryō or an yūrei, can mimic human traits as well.

      Also, I can think of Noroko, from the MUGEN game The Black Heart, and Ella from another MUGEN one, or, if you want playable cases aside of fighting games, Yamaoka Rin AKA The Spirit in Dead By Daylight, Oichi in Sengoku Basara 3 (though she's not an onryou, she's designed to exactly function like one)...

      She's the anti-Spinal, so to speak. In more ways than one.
      Spinal's Power Devour eats projectiles, but he has few ways to deal with close-up pressure. Hisako's counter stance will shred through melee, but loses to projectiles.
      Spinal is a Viking Skeleton God of War and Conquest. Hisako is a Japanese Spirit of Vengeance and Protection.
      Spinal's so-called "gravesite" is a shipyard, while Hisako's mausoleum is an abandoned village (Sea VS Land).
      .... And now that I think about it, this so-called connection could be a reference to when Kublai Khan, the descendant of Temujin AKA Genghis Khan, was trying to invade Japan (a storm drove em off, IIRC). It bears mentioning that at the time, Kublai was the effective ruler of China, considered one of Japan's fiercest rivals/biggest enemies/most influential neighbors.

      Well he *did* die at the end of her full trailer... and since he's a rampaging warlord who most likely pillages in his spare time,and Hisako is angry at said pillaging warlords for killing her entire kin, something has to be going on between the two. My guess is he could be her rival.

    My favourite character. I've always had a strange fascination with ghosts and the undead, and I'm a big fan of horror movies like The Ring, so I decided I was going to main Hisako the instant I saw her. Really cool that she's a good guy as well. She's an unstoppable spirit of death that will follow you to the ends of the earth to cut your head off and eat your soul, but only if you're evil or you piss her off. Otherwise she's chill. Her theme is great too, really captures the J-horror vibe with the harsh strings, spooky chanting, discordant melody and the faint gurgle at the end, but also gets you ready for a fight. Really makes you feel like you're going to fuck someone up with your super ghost powers and then drag their spirit to hell.

    Hisako is the greatest vengeful spirit as she has honor and only desired to kill and torment those who killer her and her family and burned her village to the ground. She does not involve innocents and instead only attacks the strong and powerful and guilty. With insane levels of spiritual power I might add. She'd destroy nasty evil Kayako and Sadako for sure.

    • @arcotroll8530
      @arcotroll8530 2 года назад +14

    I can't figure out where to actually purchase this song anywhere, so this seemed only right.

    The part when the song amps up at around 4:05 is the most amazing music i've heard in any video game.

    Holy Shit! Sounds like a legit boss battle theme for a Devil May Cry game! Especially fighting against a very scary female demon warrior who once fought Sparda many years ago.

      Doesn't quite fit the style of Devil May Cry in my opinion as the boss music in those games tends to be much faster and more dynamic. Her character could definitely be translated into the series, though.

    Never played the game, this just makes me happy to listen to. I feel that going out of your way to have fun just for the sake of it is what it boils down to on my end, it shows in the finished piece! It might seem obvious but these days that feels like a lost skill. At any rate, this is a treat!
