Which makes it kinda more dark: He is loved by his people and soldiers as shown through his intro and animations, but he believes he is to blame for them dying, that they blame him and that he deserves it all. He is the leader sending his friends and people to death, but all he wants to do is fight with them. He is literally looking to die, but he can't because if he dies, his people will fall with him
I think the lyrics imply that his position as a king makes it so no one can blame him for his failings. he wants someone to be there to blame him and make him take responsibility. "who can say that"
@@ilavain I like your take on it, even if he became king hes still so overcome with the guilt inside, and how it is reflected by his reckles and risky moves when fighting as if hes got a death wish
I love the little detail of using Xrds design for the past and the Strive for the present, adds a lot to the sense that this is not something recent but a constant in Leo's life
0:27 this is probably just in leo's mind because, and this only makes his impostor syndrome worse: no one blames him. he is seen as a hero and was elected king because of it
not sure where all these views suddenly came from, but this is an old animation i made a couple years ago on twitter that i'm just putting on here for archiving purposes, thanks for all the likes and comments! 🙏
Bro you did so good if it isn’t too much a music video like this for the whole song would be awesome!! Or maybe the last part where it screams bring it on your bastards would be really really cool!! You deserve the views man!!
honestly deserved on the views, I saved the original twitter video just to make sure I would never lose it. So I'm glad that it's saved on RUclips now as well. One of my favorite pieces of guilty gear fan content I've seen.
I fell bad for leo. He is the second king of Illryia but has a "mask" which makes him look happy and prideful, yet deep down he sees his soldiers die. He promises their families that everyone will be safe yet people still die. This animation (and song) is a good example of "If you want peace, prepare for war (Si vis pacem, para bellum). Short story: Leo gets all the blame for the deaths of his men, even though he promises everyone will be safe they all die.
Even worse, nobody blames him. Everybody knows that battle was lost by default and they were basically on a suicide mission. He is the only one who can't move past that day, because he survived it.
My interest in guilty gear has been returning recently and this is like really fucking awesome in my opinion, a really good animated depiction of Leos guilt towards his soldiers dying under his command and how he blames himself torments him, seriously good work KEEP IT UP!!!/gen
Leo feels like he doesnt deserve to live, that he carries the weight of all the men he has lead to their deaths on him, that he a liar being pursued by the fires of hell. And what does he do for the sake of all those people *HE GOES BACK IN*
The last shot is so good, him curled up alone in an endless field of red portrays how he feels so accurately. He wants out but the blood is never ending. Theres no pocket of hope for him. More people need to talk about this guy
Jesus christ this was amazing. Makes me want this kind of content for each Strive character with meaningful songs (or GG in general), but damn that'd be a LOT of work
This is really good. The only way this could be better is if there was an extra bit of "For the sake of that day, keep crying out!" line where he's in the middle of a skirmish and with the "Swing your sword! Swing your sword! SWING YOUR FREAKIN' SWORD DOWN!" part where it shows his internal struggle between his suicidal tendencies of begging the people he's fighting to put him out of his misery and his rational/self-preservation screaming at him to keep fighting for the fallen.
"I'm a terrible general, I lead countless men to their deaths, and I've seen nameless soldier's families curse me as I walked back home. This is hell, I'm depressed, someone end my life already." [FULL NOISE GUITAR MASTERPIECE OF A RIFF]
I have been listening to the same 30 guilty gear songs for a year and a half nonstop And this perfectly encapsulates what I imagine Leo is going through
this is so good, i always thought hellfire was the best of the themes in terms of telling a story. would be awesome if you animated the part right before the last chorus with “am i on the right side of history”
"My men are all dead and I should be too"
**Sick ass guitar riff**
relatable
*epic guitar intro*
"I'm a fucking liar and i don't deserve to be alive."
*sick-ass guitar solo*
Depressing rock is my favourite music genre
Oh frick, the soldier's families blaming on Leo totally caught off guard
Most likely it's all in his head

@@blank681you could say... he was *guilty.*
This is an excellent portrayal of Leo’s torment, well done it’s a great animation
"i have PTSD and survivors guilt!"
*sick guitar riff*
BRO I LITERALLY HAVE THIS *EXACT* VIDEO PLAYING OUT IN MY HEAD, I'VE BEEN WANTING TO ANIMATE IT FOREVER!!! TYSM!!!
Same but what I thought was the "Dirty sky" was blood raining and the bodies of the fallen stacked around him
Dare u to do it
@@lxtzone5217 Hahaaa i probably will when im done with this fuckin college project im on rn.
Daisuke: NO ONE GOES HOME UNTIL I CAN HEADBANG TO HIS PTSD **sick guitar riff**

Our boy Leo needed more love like this

You did hellfire, one of the most respected gg songs absolute justice! Great work dude!

Too bad here's another
The shlt with the grave and the widow and her child saying liar hit hard. You nailed leo's facial expressions

I waited 3 years for this, this is exactly how i imagined it..... Perfect but, damn when you put it that way, poor bastard
This is so underrated and The composition is so good!!
You do know this song is a from a game right?
@@Caroline_9877 yea duh I like guilty gear💀
@@-GwenIS- Bruh
@@Caroline_9877Okay? Doesn’t make Hellfire a bad song.
@@funny_joke_goes_here4406 I never said it was bad, I thought he just didnt know
The music video in my head has finally been physically visualized. This looks awesome and it fits the song well.
Leo really is *striving* in this one.
This deserves so many more views, keep up the great work!
SWING THE SWORD, SWING THE SWORD! SWING THE FUCKING SWORD NOW!!!
Yo, why is the imagery for Leo's problems so *on point?!*
And this was made just *YESTERDAY?!*
This is INCREDIBLY beautiful. You portray the emotions that the lyrics infer so well

Good work

This animation makes the song hit way harder, awesome work!
Jesus christ this was amazing. Makes me want this kind of content for each Strive character with meaningful songs (or GG in general), but damn that'd be a LOT of work
The way Leo stands by his fallen comrades while his hair and clothing sway in the wind gave me some heavy chills
This is cinema. This is art. Perfection. The only way it could be better is if there was more of it.
ABSOLUTELY PEAK
we need more guilty gear music animatic
This is absolutely incredible tbh. Subscribed
Literalmente esto es lo que he imaginado durante todo este tiempo, escuchando esta canción
*PTSD and survivors guilt*
*sick ass guitar solo*
This SLAPS, I’ve been craving GG pv’s for awhile now and this one is perfect
I see what you did there with the “here _lies”_
i love how leo switches between designs
literally how i always imagined an animation for this song
This is really good. The only way this could be better is if there was an extra bit of "For the sake of that day, keep crying out!" line where he's in the middle of a skirmish and with the "Swing your sword!

i watched this like 5 times in a day, and it made me actually add Hellfire to my permanent playlist.
Like the Direction is great!
The art quality in this is really damn good, the expressions, the simple colors, it’s very well done
Epic vid, great job showing Leo's traumas and torments.
This is really awesome and well done! It really captures the emotions of the song
this is so good, i didn´t know i needed something like this that much but now i want to see more gg songs animated

Woah, this is great! The perfect video for the song.

You should totally make a whole animated music video for Hellfire!
This is wonderfully done!
I would love to see a full version, it looks really cool !
"I'm a terrible general, I lead countless men to their deaths, and I've seen nameless soldier's families curse me as I walked back home. This is hell, I'm depressed, someone end my life already."
[FULL NOISE GUITAR MASTERPIECE OF A RIFF]
This is amazingly done dawg, the heaven sequence is so fluid and striking, keep up the good work!

Oh hey I saw this on twitter like 2 years ago, couldn't find it since. Glad to see it again
I remember seeing this when strive came out an it is still good
I have been listening to the same 30 guilty gear songs for a year and a half nonstop
And this perfectly encapsulates what I imagine Leo is going through
This was fucking amazing. Great work!
finally someone who draws that parts of the song, thank you brooo
Oh this is ART. Please tell me you're considering doing a few more of these.

Thank you so much. I always wanted to see his theme represented in a visual way and this video nailed it
Guilty Gear animations yay
This is amazing. Well done!
This is phenomenal
We need a full version!!!!!! PLEASE
i thought the lyrics i heard where bad. but ""we're going home!" but i'm a terrible liar" is somehow even worse.
We need more like this!!
you could say he was guilty
The alternation between his XRD and STRIVE outfits is a nice touch
OH MY GOD THIS AMAZING I LOVE HELLFIRE SM THIS IS PERFECT
this is so good, i always thought hellfire was the best of the themes in terms of telling a story. would be awesome if you animated the part right before the last chorus with “am i on the right side of history”
This is so cool! I love the expressions!
Also, Hellfire is one of my favorite GGST songs.
THIS IS SO GOOD
As if I didnt love this song enough you did it all the justice even just with a 33 second video
Excellent work
I love how you use Leo's xrd design to represent his old self before losing his men, that's such a cool touch
This shit goes too hard beautiful work
DEADLY GOATED, I LOVE THIS SO MUCH, THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT HAPPENS IN MY HEAD WHEN I LISTEN TO HELLFIRE RAAAGHH
I can’t take this seriously when one of his voice lines is
“ My shoes were untied” 😭
Dayumm this is amazing! It’s pretty much how I imagined the visuals of it, but even better!
Cool! Now, I won't have to go digging on Twitter to find this.
FINALLY i saw this video on twitter forever ago and have been wanting a youtube version for ever
This perfectly captures what his theme is about
