Why do people misunderstand Sisyphus' character so much. Sisyphus has no regrets. Not because someone else can accomplish what he failed to do, but because he gave it his all despite knowing it was futile. Whether someone can push the boulder to the top after his death doesn't matter to him. What matters is that he pushed the boulder with all of his might. That makes him happy.
@@lonelyshpee7873 maybe because this was a version of Sisyphus in a different narration. Not saying he's a totally different dude now, but I can see both ways incorporated as one, since Sisyphus himself led an army to stand against the angels and failed. He can feel happy knowing he used all his might to fight his final battle, as well as knowing how cool it will be that Gabriel is gonna be screwed, win or lose.

Why noone talks about how canonically, Minos' soul started to form only when flesh prison was destroyed and he was still a very difficult challenge for many people
Meanwhile Sysphius took a "nap" and broke out of the pantopicon prison, which is stronger than the flesh prison, BY HIMSELF and proceeds to beat the shit out of a tin can for 3 hours straight.
Minis is stronger than sysiphus but the difference is that minos couldnt become a prime soul and sysiphus could than that means that minos prime was strong as fuck even without being a prime soulmakes him strong as fuck@@GalvanizedSquareSteel-d2z
@@anthonygamer-jg3wn I respect your argument But I'ma respectfully disagree with that. 1. Since the first pieces of evidence is that Sysphius is literally a Warlord. So you know he's strong as Fuck. For Minos.. I forgot, but he was a king or smth, a loving and good king. 2. The Flesh Prison was made to hold Minos, and only after we (the player) defeat the flesh prison, only THEN Minos prime forms. Since that's when he first forms as a prime soul. But not saying Minos is weak. Far from it. Not only he has godly strength, he has godly willpower to FORM into a prime soul. However, the flesh Pantopicon (which is just flesh prison but on crack) is made SPECIFICALLY to hold Sysphius Prime. Which already formed either before or IN the prison. And was just asleep. And we (Player) "woke him up" and he proceeded to DESTROY HIS OWN PRISON just to beat the shit out of us. That just shows how strong both his willpower, and overall strength is. 3. Minos Telegraphs his attacks very clearly. I mean they do pack a punch, but it's relatively easy to dodge if you literally listen and move out of the way when he says "JUDGMENT". However Sisyphus does not telegraph shit, he does it rarely. And he goes FAST. And in YOUR FACE. He will p e r f e c t l y beat the living shit out of you without breaking a single sweat. Yeah sure you can parry almost every single one of his attacks, but they are definitely not easy to dodge. Since this guy is ON YOU 24/7. Minos does the same thing but gives you a small break by menacingly walking towards you before telegraphing more attacks. The only break Sisyphus gets is literally a slap to your face and ego. 4. (Don't take this seriously) Sysphius Prime is a fucking giant compared to Minos 5. King Minos died from Gabriel, and manifested as a prime soul and full of vengeance for his wrong, unfair execution. Meanwhile Sysphius.. BEFORE HE DIED, AS A HUMAN, challenged fucking HEAVEN (failed ofc, and died to Gabriel) but still had the balls to fight heaven, and comes back as a literal force of nature. He legit scared his own fucking prison to death 💀 And he's mostly doing this for revenge and because he just wants to be annoying to hell and Gabriel Sysphius Prime overall is just better than Minos. Lore wise.. Minos is better.
@@anthonygamer-jg3wn I like your argument though! I'll admit, before Sysphius Prime came into the picture.. Minos was fucking HIM Minos and Sysphius are GOATS in their own ways.
Sisyphus formed as a prime right after his death, ofc that scares the heavens shitless. Minos only formed right after Flesh Prison was defeated, had no combat experience and literally came up with his entire moveset when he fought V1 and yet was the hardest boss until Sisyphus stepped up. And being the kind and humble man he was, he legit gave V1 a chance. I mean who tf is warning the enemy of the move before they execute the move. Yeah, Minos takes the W in lore.
What I love most about Sisyphus Prime’s character is that even if he knew his attempts at rebellion and fighting a war against heaven were futile, all he wanted to do was go out swinging. And in true spite of the.. well, Sisyphean nature of it all, he never once gave a single, solitary fuck
third prime: "mfer you got minos AND systphus's blood on your hands? nah fuck that heaven is SCREWED. guess im the last one able to stop you, eh fuck it we ball"

honestly it'd be kind of interesting to write a paper about what made em react differently, compare and contrasting them. It'd be interesting. If anyone reading this finds a way to do this, that'd be baller.
Minos was in sadness because he could not save his citizens and could not bring back his city to glory Sisyphus was laughing because he knew that since v1 is stronger than him this means everyone he tried to kill will die anyway like gabriel Something like that
Minos was fighting in order to progress on achieving a goal (saving his people), and once it became unreachable, he lamented. Sisyphus fighting for the sake of it. He did everything he did out of spite and self realization. He didnt have an actual end goal. He was fully shit and giggles. Minos played a game to win, meanwhile Sisyphus played a game for fun, not caring if he won or lost. Ultrakill Sisyphus seems to be based off of Camus’ Sisyphus, which realizes the pointlessness of his task, yet continued.
Their final lines pretty much convey all you need to know. "Forgive me my children, for I have failed to bring you salvation from this cold, dark world..." Minos cared about his people more than anything, it saddens him greatly to know that in his death, he has failed the people he swore to protect and care for, and he blames it on himself, he's a deeply selfless and kind, giving person, as evidenced by his prime form being so transparent and faceless, with his crown resembling his city which he puts above himself. He feels as though he gave his people false-hope, and that in the end he was too weak to do anything meaningful to help anyone (More evidence to support this: His voice line upon entering his second phase is him growling "Weak," while initially it may seem directed at the player, it makes far more sense that he is calling himself weak for losing the battle, for not being strong enough to stand up for his people and fight) which eats away at him inside, knowing his death has doomed his people, if they were even still alive to begin with, and worse yet he knows he could've done more to help them, if he wasn't so passive when Gabriel struck him down, if he had fought back at all. "Ahh... So concludes the life and times of King Sisyphus, a fitting end to an existence defined by futile struggle. And I don't. Regret. A second of it." Right off the bat, you'll notice that Minos' death speech didn't talk about himself at all, his first and last thoughts were about his people, and how he wishes he could've done more for them, instead, Sisyphus only talks about himself, what's happening to him, what he wants, what he's done, what he thinks, and he regards himself as King, even when his kingdom is no more, Sisyphus is a deeply self-centered person, he could care less about what happens to his people, if anything his only desire is to see heaven fall, purely out of revenge, but in this realm of egocentrism, there's also a sense of nihilism, Sisyphus doesn't care what happens, it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies, whether heaven stands or falls, whether the machine or him win or lose, it didn't matter that he stood no chance against heaven when he rebelled, the outcome would be the same anyways, so why should he care? And rather than sink him into a deep pit of hopelessness and depression, if anything, this nihilistic view of the world is what motivates Sisyphus, so what if he lives or dies? Regardless, why not give it his all? It's about living in the moment to him, he knows his actions are futile, and he doesn't care, because he's going to give his all and enjoy it, even if the boulder will inevitably roll down the mountain anyways. Overall, the two characters different focuses have to do with their own priorities, Sisyphus cares only for himself, he doesn't give a rats ass about anything else besides what he's doing in the moment, while Minos is far more empathetic, and he wishes to improve the lives of all of those who seek it, Minos wants to help others, while Sisyphus wants to help himself.
Pinos: - gets overpowered constantly by flesh prison to keep from forming - “just” and “kind” king (🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮) - tries to perform a citizens arrest on a silly goober machine - whinges about being a failure (sore loser) Pisyphus: - starts priming before the angels even put him in the cube - contrary to popular belief, he doesn’t break out because the panopticon is weakened slightly, but just because you’re loud enough to wake him up - tenacious warmonger - throws hands with a silly goober war machine that has defeated an angel and another prime soul as a warmup because he just woke up - when he’s beaten, absolutely loses it and laughs all the way up until he explodes, because he knows that heaven is absolutely IN for it
When thinking about it, Sisyphus talks about crushing armies of heaven and you crushed him. That means V1 has the power level to straight up overtake heaven. Dam did humans make strong machines.
So concludes the life and times of King Sisyphus A fitting end to an existence defined by futile struggle Doomed from the very start... And i don't regret a SECOND of it!
The virgin: "Forgive me my children, I have failed you" Vs the Chad: "So concludes the life and times of King Sisyphus... AND I DON'T REGRET A SECOND OF IT"
"I may have been and asshoke with the gods, punished by pushing a rock almost eternally, started a failure of a rebelion against heaven and beat the shit out of by a machine but i dont give a shit"
Minos: I am sorry to all of you, for being unable to do more against the unjust torment of heaven Sisyphus: Lmao gg tin can, I don't regret a thing *hysterical laughter*
Actually it might not even be that. If we look at Sisyphus’s terminal entry, we can find out that he started his war knowing it was going to fail “To him, fighting an impossible battle with full knowledge of its futility and taking joy in just the act of resistance itself is the ultimate rebellion against the oppressor.” He might not even think V1 can kill Heaven because, by all means, he never thought it possible. He is someone who experienced endless torment in useless tasks and yet continues on, spurring up a rebellion doomed to fail simply to inconvenience Heaven itself for his own damnation. Even if V1 couldn’t kill Heaven he would laugh anyway because, even if the battle was futile, even if everything was futile, at the very least he defied that futility just for funzies. He wouldn’t regret a single second of it. Sisyphus exists simply to cause problems, no matter how inconsequential, and he did so gloriously
Minos after being defeated: "I have failed my people.....This cold dark world has no salvation anymore...." Sisyphus after being defeated: k, that was fun i gtg AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Minos : He realized that he could not avenge humanity and his people of the lust layer Sisyphus : He doesn’t give a fuck because he now knows that heaven is gonna taste the power of +DING DING DING
Virgin monos: "He's hard to defeat!1!" Literally small guy (5'6) Spams projectiles Attacks you due to minor inconvenience. Dies and cries about it Gigachad Sisyphus: Tall boi. (2 minoses tall, or 11'2) So dangerous, he's literally protected from entering by other demons and then his prison "You freed me but you killed minos, you're strong so i fight you" type o' talk Beats the heck out of you harder then minos Literally upgrade to minos Can explode half of map in exchange for no projectiles. Dies and rofls about it. Does not elaborate Dissapears
Imagine if Jack in the box was the third prime soul he would say: hmm the people have forgotten the name of Jack in the box I am eager to make you remember the taste the blood of McDonald's and burger king [first prime soul is McDonald's and second prime soul is burger king] resonates from your hands come forth worker and TASTE! And he would die like: so you have finally overcome and worked for me I am proud make them remember but now I must rest in the box goodbye...*insert happy laughing*
sisyphus is possibly one of the nicer characters in ultrakill, maybe chaotic neutral he escapes the prison and when he realizes you defeated minos, he asks you for a sparring match. he doesnt call you weak or anything, he just wants to warm up for the battle with heaven itself and when you defeat him, he was basically bested by you and let you move on meanwhile minos, v2 and gabriel death threaten you
Minos was sad he couldn't avenge humanity, and Sisyphus realised that even if he died, Gabriel was screwed

- contrary to popular belief, he doesn’t break out because the panopticon is weakened slightly, but just because you’re loud enough to wake him up
- tenacious warmonger
- throws hands with a silly goober war machine that has defeated an angel and another prime soul as a warmup because he just woke up
- when he’s beaten, absolutely loses it and laughs all the way up until he explodes, because he knows that heaven is absolutely IN for it
he is so small, that pinos
man you really hate nice people, huh?
Bro masturbate with syphisus pics every night
you sound like the kinda of person to vote to the worst president and get out of the country
@@estrelaplatinada6506 if it's me you're talking about
uh
you'd be right (I kinda hate it here)
sisyphus died knowing that the armies of heaven would be crushed anyway,and that cackling still haunts me ffs
When thinking about it, Sisyphus talks about crushing armies of heaven and you crushed him. That means V1 has the power level to straight up overtake heaven. Dam did humans make strong machines.
Forgive me my children, for I have failed to bring you salvation form this cold dark world....
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Minos: Many regrets
Sisyphus: Does not have that word in his vocabulary, except when comming after 'no' or 'not'
Prometheus prime
Yea i want that
Tbf though, Minos kinda served as the Prometheus role, deciding to save his people and being punished for it
And he cant ever die because he just keeps regenerating with his liver
If Minos died crying, Sisyphus died laughing, then does that mean that the last prime soul will die being furious?
that sounds like gabriel's first fight, except he dies
How the actual fuck did you get to that conclusion
we love sun guy
Ahh, so concludes the life and times of king sisyphus
A fitting end to an existence defined by futile struggle.
@@HellmanakaUselessTeamakaDevad doomed from the very start
An excellent example of what separates a gigachad homie and a true sigma male
Minos: sad
Sisyphus: FUCKING LAUGH
Next prime soul: ok and
3rd prime soul would have no reason to fight whatsoever considering that only 1-5 people would be alive in hell when you fight him
So concludes the life and times of King Sisyphus
A fitting end to an existence defined by futile struggle
Doomed from the very start...
And i don't regret a SECOND of it!
The virgin: "Forgive me my children, I have failed you"
Vs the Chad: "So concludes the life and times of King Sisyphus... AND I DON'T REGRET A SECOND OF IT"
>Breaks out
>Uses you as an appetizer
>Dies
>Well shit LMFAOOOO
Minos was sad he couldn't save humanity from machines
Sisyphus was just happy that he had so much fun (fight with V1) before death
okay so minos is sad
sisyphus laughs
p-3 is going to be too angry to fuckin die 100%
I feel like gabriel is death i mean he didn't die tho, his death is angry
And I don't regret a second of it!
bro really pressed K + M1 in postal 2
I actually feel sad for minos seeing his past
"I may have been and asshoke with the gods, punished by pushing a rock almost eternally, started a failure of a rebelion against heaven and beat the shit out of by a machine but i dont give a shit"
Minos: I am sorry to all of you, for being unable to do more against the unjust torment of heaven
Sisyphus: Lmao gg tin can, I don't regret a thing *hysterical laughter*
Minos: noo i couldn't get revenge on you *ded*
Sisyphus: if you killed me then gabriel is cooked lol
Sisyphus was happy someone powerful enough will destroy heaven for him
Actually it might not even be that. If we look at Sisyphus’s terminal entry, we can find out that he started his war knowing it was going to fail
“To him, fighting an impossible battle with full knowledge of its futility and taking joy in just the act of resistance itself is the ultimate rebellion against the oppressor.”
He might not even think V1 can kill Heaven because, by all means, he never thought it possible. He is someone who experienced endless torment in useless tasks and yet continues on, spurring up a rebellion doomed to fail simply to inconvenience Heaven itself for his own damnation. Even if V1 couldn’t kill Heaven he would laugh anyway because, even if the battle was futile, even if everything was futile, at the very least he defied that futility just for funzies. He wouldn’t regret a single second of it.
Sisyphus exists simply to cause problems, no matter how inconsequential, and he did so gloriously
Minos after being defeated: "I have failed my people.....This cold dark world has no salvation anymore...."
Sisyphus after being defeated: k, that was fun i gtg AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
P1: Sad
P2: Happy
P3: Angry (i assume)
Prepare thyself!
Minos: Aaaaaaaaaagh
Sisyphus : Hahahahaha
What will P-3 be?
Lucifer prime
Nothing.
Silent embrace.
Maybe indifference
Tears of joy and sadness
*Sigh*
Tbh sysiphus laughs like father grigori
Sisyphus prime vs the universal union
Minos when he dies: I am sorry, i could not avenge you my children..
Sisyphus when he dies: Im havin the time of my life rn, CEYA *laughs*
Thryna hit a cord but it's probably a minos!!!
Minos: cries
Sisyphus: gg
Minos : He realized that he could not avenge humanity and his people of the lust layer
Sisyphus : He doesn’t give a fuck because he now knows that heaven is gonna taste the power of +DING DING DING
that is very funny "hahaha"
The laugh that'll never get funny
I am disappointed in this anti-minos slander
I preffer minos becaus eof his lore and that death scream
@@anthonygamer-jg3wnsad scream
Sisyphus: i regret nothing
What if Sisyphus just teamed up with V1?!?!!
v1 would never team up with a high blood suck
@@fischio-gc-hides5994 v1 would get more blood if they attacked heaven though
V1 is not the type of creature that would've plan that far into the future@@ChildOfMan
Minos: Forgive me humanity sob sob sob
Sisyphus: I die? Oh no. But Gabriel die too? *LMFAO*
That looks more like "minus"
Virgin monos:
"He's hard to defeat!1!"
Literally small guy (5'6)
Spams projectiles
Attacks you due to minor inconvenience.
Dies and cries about it
Gigachad Sisyphus:
Tall boi. (2 minoses tall, or 11'2)
So dangerous, he's literally protected from entering by other demons and then his prison
"You freed me but you killed minos, you're strong so i fight you" type o' talk
Beats the heck out of you harder then minos
Literally upgrade to minos
Can explode half of map in exchange for no projectiles.
Dies and rofls about it.
Does not elaborate
Dissapears
fucking nukes the arena
refuses to elaborate
leaves laughing
So something that I just found out both of them are Greek legends so I wonder who might be the 3rd one
Yup
What moving rock for millennia does to mf
Imagine if Jack in the box was the third prime soul he would say: hmm the people have forgotten the name of Jack in the box I am eager to make you remember the taste the blood of McDonald's and burger king [first prime soul is McDonald's and second prime soul is burger king] resonates from your hands come forth worker and TASTE!
And he would die like: so you have finally overcome and worked for me I am proud make them remember but now I must rest in the box goodbye...*insert happy laughing*
i wonder where they go after they die
Probably to another flesh prison, to reform again.
I assumed nonexistence
0:17 HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA.
sisyphus is possibly one of the nicer characters in ultrakill, maybe chaotic neutral
he escapes the prison and when he realizes you defeated minos, he asks you for a sparring match. he doesnt call you weak or anything, he just wants to warm up for the battle with heaven itself
and when you defeat him, he was basically bested by you and let you move on
meanwhile minos, v2 and gabriel death threaten you
Well, he too, threatens you with death. "Come forth, child of man. And die."
Sisyphus prob laughing not at v1 but at player since he fucked us for 2, less, or more hours(personaly my theory)
Minos: waaaaaah😭
Sisyphus: I don't regret a *SECOND* of it🗿
snek
0:16
"AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAHAHAHHA *BOOM* "
Why did i read minors instead of minos
Is it because im one or what
Minos more like minors
Rminos
