Honestly vaati is pretty slow to catch up with the lore like all the time, someone else has already said basically everything he says in any video. His content is the best quality though, very good script writing and video editing.
Wtf, I platinumed the game, went through it over half a dozen times, and I never saw his ending... That’s so...somber. Whoever said that Sekiro lacked the character stories of Souls is straight up wrong.
Little Moth I wouldn’t say it’s that, but rather that people have taken too long to properly piece the story together and make it widely known. All of Miyazaki’s games are, undoubtedly, literary masterpieces, but they take a long time to decipher; Sekiro’s still going through that process.
@@Athropod101 I don't believe Sekiro is disliked by some because of it's story, but rather because of it's mechanics.The first thing anyone ever talks about is how "bad" the mechanics are. What I was saying was that these people don't want to play a truly unique game. They want another Souls game, and Sekiro is not one of them.
All the Senpou assassins bear uncanny resemblance to my Australian uncle after one of his many "get shit-faced on a Saturday night and order a pizza but black out before it arrives" stunts... Even the big straw hats
No way this game will be left alone, too many loose ends, perhaps a dlc where we play as genichiro to acquire the black mortal blade, that lady tomoe lightning badass bitch I want to know more about that, and of course the true ending blows wide open to a sequel. Well that's my hope's anyway.
Me before watching the video: I don't care about this literally small side character. Me after watching the video: 1. Lie on the ground 2. Try not to cry 3. Cry a lot
Theory: mist noble is the purified mortal Takeru. He shed a tear for Tomoe at her grave and traveled to the mibu temple to seal away the immortal infestation of the palace. Turning away from immortality and its enlightenment goes against the corrupted beliefs of the ashina monks. That is why the dying monk says he has strayed from the buddha.
Not bad, but that monk specifically says that the Mist Noble strayed from Buddha, whereas the Senpou monks do not care about Buddha, focusing on immortality instead. Also, if he wanted to seal away the immortal infestation and was indeed Takeru, why did he go to a place that's connected to the Mibu Village instead of the Ashina Depths through Senpou Temple? To get to Mibu Village from Senpou, you have to get back to Ashina Castle, get down into the dungeons, get past the Shichimen Asshole, jump into a bottomless pit, get past the Snake Eyes, potentially an enraged gorilla and then bounce on down to Mibu Village, whereas getting to the other site (the monkeys) is far shorter of an ordeal from Senpou Temple.
@@darklord884 Takeru guarded Mibu to stop the slug offerings that the corrupted monk was enforcing. The great carp ate the slugs grew fat till it died of infestation. It's corps lands in the gardian ape's lake that is overlooked by the centipede men past the bridge the snake destroys. The centipede men retrieve the centipedes from the carp (giving them their name) and are spirited to senpou with the shinobi fan. This supply chain I think they used completely bypasses the ashina depths. I also think the snakes can also get people to mibu village without jumping down an infinite hole. First snake takes you to the caves. From their you can get to the depths without jumping down any holes. That's how the snake eyed people got down their from the gun fort. If the second snake ate you it probably would have tried to spit you out in mibu village if it could find it. That's why their is snake skin on the mibu village gate. Because Takeru is guarding mibu the whole chain breaks and the great carp destroys the fountainhead in anger because it has lost its food supply.
@@doubleg281 That requires both the Great Serpent and the Guardian Ape to cooperate, which I don't think they did. To be honest, I haven't completed the game yet (still haven't beaten the Corrupted Monk yet for example) but to me, the Great Ape looks like it was simply looking for a mate, hence why it guarded the flower. And the Great Serpent seems to eat anything it sees such as Sekiro himself or the monkey you can puppeteer with ninjutsu. I think it's an interesting theory, but some parts of it seem a little far-fetched. I still don't quite get why the Mist Noble would be a fish-like prson this way. There are no fish-like mutations like in Bloodborne, so I assumed the Mist Noble was like this from beginning. This theory also ignores things like O'rin of the Water who kills pretty much anyone coming or going from the Corrupted Monk's place to the village unless you scale the bridge with grappling hooks, which I doubt the mindless villagers could do.
replaying it after 5 years to finish the plat and get the dlc costumes but I just ran into his quest ending for the first time randomly on NG+4 got me in the feels
I gotta say, the way you tell the story, the music, how you speak and the clips used really sell it. You had me crying a bit here too. Well done! I do love hearing the lore and tales of the characters the way you portray them too. I'm certainly going to be watching all of them.
All you get for doing the quest is dialogue and a shitty balloon (consumable that gives you the effects of all 4 mibu balloons) that you can only use once.
Yet another amazing video, vaati, I got that limited edition sweater a while ago, but order pure white, almost stained it twice, and now I’m terrified to put it on again. Into a picture frame it goes
Badger's final scene is on the way to that secret passage out of the castle, is it not? Could that "little kid" he mentions be Lord Kuro, on his way out of Ashina?
Seriously bro dont stop the sekiro videos I still think you make a video on each character, there is alot information in this game and you're the man to depict and tie them together for us !!
It's either you missed the ending and Vaati broke your heart, or you saw the ending, hoped foolishly for an alternate questline, and Vaati broke your heart.
RIP Black hat Badger, amazing character right there it's sad that he had to die the way he did but it was fitting of his character and gave him a noble heros death.
Sekiro is so fun I am re playing the game for 20th time I love the fact that it is so fast pace and their less character but you connect with all of them really well I just love the game I wish there is a sequel for the game or a prequel
Wow, only ever found this guy the first time where he gives you the piece for the Iron Fortress, and barely found him at that. Figures he'd have a tragic backstory too.
Did this quest on accident on my first playthrough but never knew you could find him later on for a unique mibu balloon, gonna need that for collection purposes
I am a fucking retard, I didn't know Blackhat even had a questline, I murdered him every time LMAO For no reason at all, he was always polite to Sekiro. I feel so bad now...
Vattiiiiiiiiii great vid as always!! Hoping the next Cry Twice vid is on the Sculptor and Emma or even Genichiro. ... Look, he may have stabbed a twelve year old, cut a midget's arm off, turned into an immortal, human tazer, basically somehow gave birth to his dead grandfather who was somehow almost as young as him (Vatti pls explain I didn't finish sex ed) AND probably could have made a compromise with Kuro and Wolf to fight of the Ministry together.... BUT he did it for his country. Btw how did Isshin know Tomoe's lightning techniques?? Couldnt Kuro have cured Isshin? Why did Wolf fight Lady Butterfly or why was she there in the first place? Owl is the one who stabbed Wolf right? Why kill the protege you spent so long to train? What made Kuro and his fam so special? Like how/ why did the dragon pick them?? If the Hirata state part was a memory why did it change? What caused Wolf amnesia and loss of will to live? How are or why were Hanbei and the Sculptor immortal? How was Hanbei infested? Was the Sculptor infested too? Where to the centipedes come from? Was the divine child immortal too? How was she different than Kuro? Since the dragon was killed did the Rejuvenating waters dry up? How did that samurai hear the ghost lady's instrument? Was he related to Suzaku? Who was Suzaku? What was Doujin's plans and who was he talking to? Why were there crickets in the corpses instead of maggots or cockroaches? Why was the Monk guarding Fountainhead? She was infested right but not related to the dragon?What happened to Dogen? Where the ogres and Terra his doing? The red eyes means something right? Why was one of the pot nobles at Hirata estate? Wolf's got night vision?!! I have many questions....
Wow I never managed to find him at his last location when he is dying.. I always thought he made it out.. poor black hat badger :( at least he saved that kid
It reminds me of all the items I coveted so deeply in dark souls, And other fromsoftware games. The only real time I would give them up is when I would find a gentle sould passing through. Many OS battles were I would give titanite slab or a blue one. Just the fact of black hat holding kn and dropping only this, Especially as a vendor npc. I get that sense of acknowledgment in the worth of iyen versus time traveled, If that makes sense. Love every single video since my ds1 days!!!
Anyone noticed that the guard of the black mortal blade is exactly like the grapple in Illusive hall on north-east and north-west part of starting platform? Maybe Open Gate came from the second Illusive hall down by Long Arm Centipede Sen-Un? The bell Wolf cant ring. It is a fun theory :>
Woah for all the side quest this is the only one i missed and my first time to actually see this scene, cuz my last encounter with the black hat is on the sempou temple mountain on the grave and after that I thought he's side quest is over. Im on NG+4 no charm with demon bell hehe

*Sekiro*
The game wherein every character suffers
_including the player_
"Suffering is what I desire."
"I understand."
i mean, are we surprised? almost any questline in soulsborne is sad
Basically all fromsoft titles
Well in Buddhism, one of things one must accept is that life is full of suffering.
That's basically any Fromsoft game.
From Soft: "Should we release trailers or game play for Elden Ring?"
Miyazaki: "No! Vaati hasn't made enough Sekiro videos"
Or "no vaati will know everything about the game"
No vaati will get the story instantly

Complete the game while holding it in your inventory.
I just popped it nearby him, letting the water splash on him. I also used a Mibu Balloon of Soul and Spirit. I felt so bad for him.
I can't wrap my head around the fact this game have no DLC or expansion. Tragic.
JGui IKR!!!! Goddamn makes me so sad.
Me too...cant believe that a masterpiece not gonna have a DLC or expansion,such a waste :(

These stories are so much relatable with our real life.And Vatti narrates them beautifully. Truly a work of art.Thank you.

I don’t really prefer the English audio but it makes the story hit so much harder than just reading it through subtitles

Never knew Blackhat appeared somewhere else. I always just found his dead body in later game.

I never expected his character to be sorrowful tbh I never thought about him until now.
Another early morning Vaati video with this weather? Time for coffee and a smoke!
I like the sekiro/prepare to cry title
I never got that balloon but I made through most of his story by chance I see him in a new light thanks for the great vid as usual
Vaati actually making videos again. I would never have thought this day would come.
0:46 this is what peak performance looks like
And here I am. Already got plat in sekiro and didn't even know there was more of badger than meeting him in ashina castle...
I have been waiting for this 😍

Did not even know that this character had this much to say. Thanks Vaati
Half the comment section be like "I finished the game 138 billion times and never saw this" and all I have to say to that is...
same
Pathetic.... A true loreseeking fan of Vatti never misses npc story opportunities.
Imagine HBO do Sekiro drama with 3 season and Vaati is the screenplay writer...
First Big hat Logan and now we got Black hat badger
Blackhat Badger was such a good character for how short his story was. Poor guy was just trying to do right in the end.
I missed this storyline
We live in a post Elden Ring world now and I still think Sekiro is FromSoft's best work
Wow I never managed to find him at his last location when he is dying.. I always thought he made it out.. poor black hat badger :( at least he saved that kid
That kid was Kuro
Wasn't expecting feels.
Rest In Peace you did well...💔
I've platinumed this game and fished it like 6 times and I never even found that dude during the last act
This quest kinda justifies shura's ending
It reminds me of all the items I coveted so deeply in dark souls, And other fromsoftware games. The only real time I would give them up is when I would find a gentle sould passing through. Many OS battles were I would give titanite slab or a blue one. Just the fact of black hat holding kn and dropping only this, Especially as a vendor npc. I get that sense of acknowledgment in the worth of iyen versus time traveled, If that makes sense. Love every single video since my ds1 days!!!

Can't help but think the kid Badger saved might've been Kuro.
Amazing work as always !
Anayama's quest actually made me tear up
I would have taken his black hat for swagger points.
Elden Ring lore next pls
Woah for all the side quest this is the only one i missed and my first time to actually see this scene, cuz my last encounter with the black hat is on the sempou temple mountain on the grave and after that I thought he's side quest is over. Im on NG+4 no charm with demon bell hehe
Sekiro is easily GOTY
another gem from vaatividya and theparrygod ,thankyou
