- Taking a look back at some of Fire Emblem Heroes’ major events and figuring out what had to happen for Reinhardt to become such an infamous character.
Big shout out to the Fire Emblem Heroes Wiki at feheroes.gamepedia.com. I would not have been able to make this video without their great catalogue of past events in the game.
Also, thank you to the /r/FireEmblemHeroes subreddit for being probably the largest gathering of FEH player content (memes) and interaction. A great place to read and talk about the game and congratulations on passing 100,000 subscribers.

I was literally trying to make this video before the World of Thracia Banner was announced because I thought it’d be fun to talk about the rise of Reinhardt in celebration of Leif finally making it to Heroes. Well, it turned out to be a celebration of a “new” version of Reinhardt instead. It’s absolutely insane that this man has gotten a 2nd alt already and it's literally just him with his sword and not even a special seasonal outfit.
Maybe the Fire Emblem for the Switch is just about Reinhardt. Can we get a Reinhardt Amiibo? Reinhardt for Smash? Who knows how far the Reinhardt hype train is going to travel.
The Sacred Spear I was crazily happy when I got my sword Reinhardt, but after this video I want the Mage Reinhardt too. I want to join the Reinhardt hype train!
Reinhardt in smash would be amazing
I'd buy a Rein Amiibo, but if we put him in 5ma5h, there's gonna be more nerf than in the entirety of the NERF head factory
Abtin Barzin horse emblem in smash just won’t work.
The meisterschwert’s effect should have been given to Finn
Reinhardt's redemption arc was my favorite part of the game
Top 10 Anime Plot Twists.
tbh my favorite part was the war between Chrom and Ephriam
@@BongThaRipper I was on team Lucina at the time
*checks clock* yeah it still hasn't been topped. This anime peaked too early.
Reinhardt is love and life. And now that he's in the 3* pool, one thing really is clear.
Magic is for everyone.
Despite how annoying his to face in Arena, Reinhardt showcases the best possible outcome for unknown FE characters in FEH. He was essentially a mini boss in the least played FE game of them all and now he's one of the most popular characters in the FEH community. I want to see this phenomenon happen more often with other lesser known characters.
Brigand Boss
Doom Desire hell yeah we need the meme man himself
i just wanted to know how the hell Reinhardt got before leif, if had because "he have a sister" leif have too, almost everyone in Genealogy world have sister! And more Iconic like Ced for example(that is in Tharcia too) he was so obscure that he don't even feature in the "awakening nostalgia people" that had almost every other "camus archtype" i can remember at first... just why he came so sooner is my only complaint
(if somehow they make a Tharcia remake that protagonist is Reinhardt and not leif i would not be surprised)
Alguidrag o meio dragão Olwen was popular (3rd most popular Thracia character) so like Sanaki they were put to represent all games early on in FEH's lifespan. Sure they were planned before release but they had to know Olwen was popular and she has a brother, plus there was a lack of thunder cavalry units so there they go.
We need papa Moulder!
The man. The legend. The Reinhardt.
Paulo Shiotsuki *the hand
MAGIC IS EVERYTHING!
one tharacia banner later...
A mage knight should be equipped with more than just magic, my friend
I remember when I thought Reinhardt was the main character of Thracia 776...
"Finally, a non-swordsman protagonist !"
I can't believe I was wrong twice !
Celica, Hector, Ephiram, and Micaiah. With a few debatable ones.
Every time I see someone who thinks Reinhardt is the main character I die a little.
@@korinoriz Celica uses a sword too
I was pissed when my first Reinhardt (a 5* one) broke my pity rate in the easter banner March 2017. What a fool I was. What a ride has been since then. Viva El Reinhardt.
alfamedios dude I was the same lol little did we know
Reinhardt FTW!
I want the sword version of him, bit I am waiting to see what IS drops next.
Same he was a pity breaker for me trying to summon for summer robin
Everybody laughed at him. Then The Reinhardt laughed at everybody.
the reinhardt i got was in his first ever banner as a 5 star
i was salty for a while cuz he got demoted
little did i know what was to come
FEH is FE 16 and Reinhardt is the main lord.
I wouldn't even be mad
Remember this guy in the story named Bruno ? Masked man, blue mage cavalry unit. They're hinting at Zacharias, but what if it was... HIM ?
PLEASE
*mainvillain
*FE17
Say it with me, everyone:
*"Magic is EVERYTHING!"*
*MAGIC IS EVERYTHING*
*MAGIC is EVERYTHING*
*"Magic is EVERYTHING!"*
Magic is not everything!
*MAGIC IS EVERYTHING*
this almost made me tear up, it's such a beautiful tale of going from obscurity to almost being the face and well known/loved/hated character in the game
Then Laevatein came along.
I feel like “Magic is everything!” Is the “Roy’s our boy” of Fire Emblem Heroes.
It literally is. Half of Roy's fans don't even know what he's really like. Same with like 3/4 of Reinhardt's fans. Which even then, the people who played fe 5 most didn't find him that great as the feh fanbase does.
At this point, I feel like what Captain Falcon is to F-Zero, Reinhardt is to Thracia 776, in that he's much more well known than the game he's from as a result of surprise appearance and newfound popularity in Heroes, similar to how Captain Falcon became much more well known than his series due to Smash Bros.
Who is here after green Reinhardt was announced? We came a looooong way.
I now use the Winehardt.
@Wutert equip distant counter or brazen atk/def, vantage, def smoke and brazen atk/def on seal
Special at your taste
Enjoy
We just need a colorless Reinhardt that doubles on initiation and we'll have the most powerful one-person team in FEH.
Guess Reinhardt was getting tired of the green counters, so he decided to pick up a Powerful sword instead and become a red unit instead to destroy them,
laughs in brave ike.
Laughs in Micciah
Laughs in my Lukas can tank both Reins
MageKnightBluBlazer laugh in Hardin
*Laughs in swordbreaker units*
Many things have change since the beginning of the game a year ago: updates,skills inheritance, TT, dramas,memes, rise and falls of differents metas etc. And Reinhardt was always at the center of all of this. thats why he is so popular i think.
This video bring back so many memories, thanks you for this!
Remember one thing
Powercreep is temporary
But Magic is everything
It feels completely insane to me that this was 3 and a half years ago.
Watch this be one of the driving forces to us eventually getting a Thracia remake.
Whirlwhind1 If that ever happens do you think they’ll pull a Michalis and make him defy his canonical death to become an optional recruitable unit, because I wouldn’t put it out of the realm of possibility.
They would have to change so much about the game, because it's a "mess" and has a lot of "unfair" stuff. Also, doubt one character would push for a remake. I know you're probably just joking, but I've seen people have opinions like this and were serious.
Rogue Slushy I wasn’t implying he would push the remake himself just that if by some chance a remake ever did happen it would be a possibility they may go the redemption route with Reinhardt, maybe if you talked to him more than once or captured him instead of killing him. It wouldn’t be too far fetched from a story perspective either. I agree though. The game itself would need a lot of tweaking and fixes and to be less new player hostile.
> worse than roy
> has prf 1-2 range magic sword, carries the team during Manster arc, supports tons of people and can double the bonuses with the king sword, is the best unit you can use early game stat boosters on as Manster is incredibly hard and Lifis sucks as a combat unit.
He doesn't have a canonical death. You can legitimately finish the map without ever engaging him in battle or capture him and the game will never try to suggest he died.
No Joke, this literally motivated me to write an essay for school about reinhardt.
Did you do it? If you did, how did it went?
You mean you haven't already?
How did it go 3 years ago?
@@aceboll7627 it went rather well actually. My teacher found it funny. 88%
@@Joey722 that's sick bro
It is amazing to see a nobody like Reinhardt became a somebody. I remember when the sibling bonding came around and I ended up getting him and how people were saying how bad he was until skill inheritance came and changed him for the better. Now many of us use The Reinhardt.
Reinhardt was never a nobody, you and a lot of others were ignorant nobodies who soon realized that this somebody can stack bodies.
Can we just talk about the fact that, 3 years later, even though he's not the bogeyman he used to be, he's STILL one of the better blue mage cavaliers in the game?
"Friege rains thunder on its foes. An instant later, they are gone." - Reinhardt
That line gives me chills.
When Bold Fighter was introduced, I was one of the people who didn't think it was exclusive to armored units. When I saw what Bold Fighter did, I thought to myself: BOLD FIGHTER MOONBOW REINHARDT
Hey, I'm from the future, we have a green Reinhardt now
In a way, Reinhardt at his highest point was like Gale Wings Talonflame back in Gen 6. He had a few counters, but you basically had to run one of them or else you were done for against any team that had him.
Delzethin ahhhh good times with Talonflame
I loved this video!
Even though the game is only 1 year old there has been a lot of ups and downs, and this video reminded me about them and how things actually changed for the better in a lot of ways.
I hope you do more videos like this, like Takumi's fall from grace or other impactful changes across the game's history.
"The rise and fall of the takumi meta or how skill inheritance changed the arena"
I’ve definitely toyed with the idea of talking about Takumi’s early dominance and why he fell so hard, while Hector continued to stay relevant. Definitely an interesting topic and they were both super strong when skill inheritance came out thanks to good old Vantage.
9:20
Something I'd like to note about the Ayra incident is that Ayra represented pay-to-win and cash-grab greed, whereas Reinhardt (available at 4*, powerful with cheap skill inheritance) was considered a more "F2P-friendly" hero; another reason why Reinhardt suddenly rose to popularity.
and now new players can get a free reinhardt from the hero's path rewards, pretty damn easily, assuming everyone gets the same rewards
2021
reinhardt is still one of the gods of this game, now with white outfit and being the king of cav lines
Thumbs up just for the "Last Piece of Exodia" comment. Well done SS.
Still my favorite video from this channel. I keep coming back to it every once in a while.
Intelligent systems: sees Reinhardt
Still Itelligent systems:"death blow sacred seal"
Reinhardt. The man. The myht. The legend.
I remember back in the day when my friend got a five star one, and I told him that he sucked because of his low spd. And now look where reinhardt is, one year in the meta. What a fun ride this was. And now hes back with the strongest brave sword in the game, and I luckily managed to snack myself one. And he also has an awesome voice actor.
The best is when he kills a Corrin with moonbow and the madman says " *this Must be F A T E* "
i think it was a sign that my first ever 5 star was the Reinhardt
Someone in Intelligent System really wanted to show some love to Reinhardt.
why do you think everyone gets a reinhardt for free now if they do...basically literally any of the hero's path
Actual unique content for FEH, good stuff!
When I pulled Reinhardt on his debut banner, I didn't really find anything special out of him, but was happy that I pulled a 5*. However, I slowly started to realize his power; he had replaced M!Robin on my core team. Once SI was released, I realized that my Reinhardt was +Atk. I had finally noticed the power that was in my hands from the very start of his appearance. After taking so much time out of my week to grab the QP seal, (Reinhardt and Tharja were my two go-to heroes in almost every PvE combat; Tharja would soon get replaced by Brave Lyn) the Reinhardt was fully complete. (Ignoring the fact that I had never pulled a Klein ever that time, I had sticken with Fury)
Thank you for this video, it made me realize how much dedication I had in this game that had not hindering anything like my studies, to-do drawings, etc.
true love story
SLAAAAAAAAMINNNN'!
Tuskoub this is bullshit!
Chaz Aria LLC Did you know.....
*MAGIC IS EVERYTHING*
yes AND that FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC. so reply to me spear!
SD King Otaks uh oh
Chaz Aria LLC I love you and your content so much, my dick is absolutely destroying my skinny jeans
This is great to watch in 2019 when we've all been given our government-issued emotional support Reinhardt.
this was a real trip down memory lane...
I especially remember when people were doing the banner analysis for the Sibling Bonds banner and said Reinhardt was a terrible unit due to his 18 speed... what a ride it's been
Hindsight is 20/20
Now, half a year later. The Reinhardt still stays beside us, carrying us through Abyssal maps.
Magic is everything. And will never not be relevant.
Camoo
I think the most important part of reinhardt is the fact that he can appear on 3 or 4 star and is a very solid unit with little investment required. Even now with the paired units and tons of legendary units he remains a competitive one. He also got me to look into his original game which is nice.
Revisited the video 3 Years after release and what shall I say beyond "Magic is still everything"
No Legendary or Mythic Alt or a Duo but Resplendent. Still one of the greatest Threads in AR Defenses and still without a refine.
To Quote Akariss " This guy refuses to fall of". Kind of like Tom Brady if somebody here watches NFL.
And so Reinhardt becomes public enemy number one once again. But luckily Reinhardt is always there to stop Reinhardt.
Underrated comment
Magic is everything, a line which awarded him with a resplendent form. What a unit has he become
Saying hello from the "Splendid Soiree" banner of 2019!
I think I started playing this game about 6 to 8 months after FEH was launched- so this video is a very fascinating piece of the game's history for me that I was never a part of, but love learning about haha!
Also Reinhardt (and B!Lyn) got on my nerves so much, I built F!Robin. She's my number one, most invested, +10 unit now.
I love reinhardt even as a minor boss in thracia. He was amazing and his design is beautiful.
The last infinity stone for the Reinhardt was Death Blow 4
It's fun watching this video almost a year and a half later. As I write this, Dancer Reinhardt just released as a part of a banner featuring the most offensive-oriented dancers the game has seen. A flying dancer with a brave tome and slightly better offense than original Reinhardt! Although I don't think he'll be meta-defining like OG Rein was, he and Dancer Ishtar will be undeniably awful to face in Arena and AR. It's only a matter of time before we get a colorless tiny hand man to make a full Reinhardt emblem team. Can you imagine if he's a staff user with a turbo-charged brave tome effect?
Oh man, I LOVED this video ! What a trip down memory lane, it was awesome to watch. I really hope you will do more of these videos. Love the quality as always ~ !
This video is amazing. Great job! The nostalgia from the old (tho dark) days feels great after so many changes in, relatively, so little time. I've watched this twice and don't be surprised if I watch it another two
The legend of the Reinhardt
I wasn’t subscribed at the time of this video’s original upload, but had it recommended to me today. Though it is not 4 years old, it is very informative and well documented as well as a fun trip down memory lane.
Even if he isn’t as useful anymore, it’s still common to see him used in places like Aether Raids and he can still be very useful in the game.
It’s pretty fascinating just how popular a character like Reinhardt has become despite being an enemy boss.
Played through Thracia for the first time this past year and I will say that he is generally as scary in that game as he was in Heroes though. I did however manage to capture him anyway.
if you do this again. you have to do one on Brave Lyn, the second half of the deathless arena run ender. ( other half being reindaddy)
this is a great video! i love learning about the history of heroes, especially because i only joined back in october of last year. being able to see the progress, and get minor jokes like "the reinhardt" makes me a bit happier. i'd love to see more videos like this!
great vid man and MAGIC IS EVERYTHING!!!!!!
This was one of your best videos! I loved the history lesson, there were so many interesting details I watched the whole thing through. I can't wait for the next one, it sounds like it'll be Lyn!
Great video. As a semi-serious lurker in the community since launch, and only now getting more serious, this was a great primer to the twists and turns i was only on the periphery of. Subscribed!
This was a fantastic video. It’s great to see the history of this game, as well as how a single character has changed the game forever
Wow!!
I joined FEH relatively late, so I never knew about most of this! How incredibly interesting!
*I WILL NOW USE THE REINHARDT*
Spear, dude, totally loved the vid! Brought both traumatic memories and good ol ones too! Am I sensing the creation of a possible mini series of “FEH Character History” ;)
Man, this video was really entertaining to watch! While I do enjoy your other content, I would love to see more videos like this from you in the future. Perhaps a video on the history of armors in feh and the rise of the armor emblem?
Fantastic video, I love looking back at the good and bad of early heroes
This was a very interesting video. I've never seen your channel before, but I'm certain to stick around for more content like this. It's interesting that for only being out a year, the Feh meta has changed so much that Reinhardt is just one of the many characters who faced these kinds of ups and downs. Takumi and BLyn are obvious examples
This is amazing, please make more of these.
Another wonderful video. You deserve more subs. Thank you
I love it, I hope we get more videos like this in the future.
This is your best video so far man, good job and i hope to see more videos like this in the future.
This was great. As someone who only started playing shortly before CYL banner dropped, it's fascinating to see what the game has gone through up to now. I hope you make more, similar videos to this.
Man, amazing video. Keep on the good work!!
Reinhardt was a nobody to me when he was first announced. I wanted him because he was a debonair looking mage, I like characters like that. I also liked that he had a sister, Olwen. I looked more into his story as he became a beloved member of my first real team. Such a tragic backstory, he is bro tier in my book.
This video was extremely well made, good stuff dude
Finally! Someone who credits their music in the description! You have earned yourself a sub.
The Reinhardt: A documentary xD
Great job! Keep the quality content coming. You are doing amazing, man!
I loved this new kind if video! Maybe you can do one on other Arena precences like BLyn or popular meme characters like Wrys
Great quality as always SS!
Make more of these when you can! I love this!
I was pretty happy when I got +ATK -SPD Reinhardt when he first came out in the siblings banner, so glad I kept playing around with him for over a year.
A truly excellent video!
Really awesome video. The Reinhardt truly is a superstar
thanks for the history lesson, great work....just awesome
This video is unbelievable. Great stuff, now i understand the legend.
A the good ol' days
awesome video! please more of it!!
Yo... this is a great Video! You need to make more of these!
Dear IS:
please make Reinhardt playable in the FE5 remake~
Yui_Naruka I would actually love that. Maybe in a sidequest to get Reinhardt.
That wouldn't make a whole lot of sense plot-wise and would take away from Olwen's character and in a sense, Reinhardt's too. Sadly, seeing the recent addition of another Reinhardt, they might just do that because he got so popular that he cucked Finn out of the Thracia banner. That and memes.
I'm almost sure that when FE4 remake cames, he will appear as an enemy guarding Ishtar, maybe they will make him the strongest "non sacred blood" unit that will get destroyed by Larcei like everyone else
I actually had an idea for the FE4 remake. When you recruit leif in his chapter, if you complete some sort of side quest, you can also get Olwen with him. Then later on, if you recruited Olwen successfully she can recruit Reinhardt in a later chapter. He is too loved at this point to not give him a better role in the Jugdral games.
Nah... if he don't die he is not worth of puting in FE 4... the best way i think he would be.
final chapter Ishtar and her demonic pegasus atack
Reinhardt with her
Against this I can only think of Ced(forseti) itself to survive, since this combination would be awesome, but Rein NEED to be a enemy cause he would NEVER betray Ishtar(and she never betray Julius so yeah)
Excellent vid as always. Rein has been one of my MVPs since I got him as my 2nd 5 star on the Sibling Bonds Banner. He had literally the worst IVs possible (+spd, -atk) but he still carried me in Arena and TT
And people said I was a fool, using Cecilia since launch.
Chris Myers this man knows what is up
RETURN OF THE REINHARDT
An amazing video, my guy.
Make more of this. This is some good stuff.
Thank you for this!! I've never really played FEH myself, but your vid was super concise, entertaining, and easy to understand, even for an outsider like me. The whole Reinhardt phenomenon is absolutely fascinating and weirdly inspiring...almost makes me wish I played the game myself lol. My only comment is that sometimes you spoke a little quickly (for instance at 3:16... the "way higher" wasn't easy to hear), but that might just be because I'm not as familiar with the game lol.
Overall, this video was great...I was curious about the memes and you made it easy to understand the timeline of events. Nice work :)
This is such an awesome video!! Thank you! I started playing the game late. Could you make another video and tell "the story of b Lyn" you alluded to?
I like this video format! I would love to see more "history of x" videos . Characters such as hector and nino also have a good story to tell and how they held up through the ages and the meta.
What an amazing video. Good research
Wow this video was so good!
Please make more i can't wait!!!
(I use the reinhardt too :) )
Fantastic historical look at Reinhardt through his history in Heroes! It has been exciting to see him evolve as well of the community over time. If he still is relevant as the game draws, perhaps you could do a sequel to this and collab with Dire Thunder.
This video is everything
Great video! I too am now one with The Reinhardt
