This has always been one of my Favorite themes in the entire MMZ series, It sounds more powerful if you add Falling Down in the dramatic section of the song ( 19:54 ). I'll never forget that feeling when I reached Ragnarok for the first time as a kid, A dreadful and heroic feeling!
From the pages of Physis: "Ragnarok’s engine core section. Vile, having resisted the shooting at Neo Arcadia, attaches himself to the Ragnarok Core to take control of it and begins falling towards the surface. The core, shaped like a sword, is known as “Laevatein”. It’s the name of the sword that the kind of giants, Surtr, swung and which “scorched the world”. (Ragnarok) is indeed about to scorch the Earth in this final war." ...remember when I brought up before that Laevateinn in some interpretations was the mistletoe used to fell Baldr? Turns out the official interpretation the game designers used was based on a very *dubious* interpretation of the Surtr's flaming sword being synonymous with Laevateinn thanks to speculation from scholar Henrik Schück in 1904. This popular interpretation has permeated a lot of other works supposedly based on Norse myth, from Fate Grand Order to Arknights, and this association has overshadowed the sword's original purpose as... a mere tool for slaying a giant rooster named Víðópnir. (...and now I cannot help but jokingly laugh at the mental image of Popla Cocapetri being screwed over by Weil crushing him with the Ragnarok Core.) ...as for the Ragnarok Satellite itself, it's yet the latest in a long line of space stations becoming a threat to the people of Earth, and sadly, it will not be the last. *Vile's Incident: Eden dome, its sin and rebirth* elaborates upon the exact specifications of how Ragnarok was built. And by *god,* when Weil built this, he fully intended for it to exceed even the Enigma cannon *and* the Final Weapon. The short story revealed that the satellite stands 72.4m (normally), 231m in width, and has a maximum range of 900~1800 km with a maximum output of 300Mw. Furthermore, it was also equipped with a main Energen (E-crystal)-powered fusion plasma beam, 8 free-electron lasers and two target scanning Ekumaizer (?) lasers. Laevateinn was designed as a superconductive Energen fusion core, and given that Weil was capable of fusing with it, it basically meant that he became one with the whole of Ragnarok. ...but what's scarier is not that Ragnarok exists. _It's that the novella mentions there are 200 other satellites like it that still hover in the skies above the Earth._
Ah so that core is laevateinn. I thought so but I wasn't sure. Those are some crazy specifications. It reminds me of space colony ark from sonic adventure 2.
@@GremmarYT If you think about it, Mega Man Zero 4, just like the first game, has bits of its plot's climax inspired by another piece of media. In Zero 1, it was a whole rewrite of the 1997 version of Hakaider, while Zero 4 is Sonic Adventure 2 with less furries. ...unlike Shadow, Zero never came back. _Sayonara, Mega Man Zero._

_Sayonara, Mega Man Zero._
i genuinely believe that is one of the best compositions in the zero series
@@gosu_verse I agree!
