Monsoon: Let me explain to you the concept of Meme, the little actions o attitudes you were taught to blend in society, something like society's genes. Simple things like saying "thank you" are memes, but how much of your normal behavior is conditioned by you and how much is conditioned by those memes? Since everyone uses them to be part of our social system built by those mere memes, are you really being yourself?? Everyone's reaction: Huehuehuehue he said "memes"
+Unknown Unkno, You mean what a cheesy fight. Everything that wa said during this encounter sounded like it was made by the writers of Resident Evil 4.
16:41 Let this sink in: a dude that just spent an entire cutscene mocking you for wanting to save lives, sees to it that you’re psychologically injured enough to reawaken the side of you that you tried to get rid of, and basically sees people’s lives and their values as meaningless, a guy like *that* is terrified of you killing him. Just for a moment, you scared a hardcore, sociopathic nihilist into valuing his own life long after he stopped valuing other people’s lives. Too little too late, though. Should have known that provoking someone as infamous as “Jack The Ripper” would have…less than pleasant results.
Hilariously, he only does that if the player does a good enough job beating him. Otherwise, he just says "do as you wish". A nihilist to the end. Either way, he dies in comfort knowing he passed a meme onto you.
Personally, I don't think it's "disgust," per se. But rather Monsoon is making a literal observation: Raiden has slipped from his superficial moral juxtaposition, and now has truly embrace the Ripper.
@supersoniclegend Monsoon doesn't fight because he likes to, he does because he believes it's an unavoidable truth about life; to him, trying to stop killing is akin to trying to stop a thunderstorm. You have to remember that Monsoon is a nihilist; he believes that nobody believes in anything, that we are products of memes (basically people embodies ideas/experiences/actions from other people). Morality, to Monsoon, is just a fancy that people say they adhere to. To him, caring for someone is no different than saying "thank you" to someone who held the door for you: Reflexive, mindless, and, ultimately, shallow.
I am Halfway through the video and I'm so happy that he eventually sings. I didn't understand why there wasn't someone singing and just music. guess I forgot he joined later lol.
16:15 I dont think people realize what monsoon intended to do with the monument. He was going to *trap you in the ground, and drill straight through your body* thats why he was spinning it
That would be me. All I have seen are the Armstrong, Sam, and Monsoon boss fights and all I know about jack is that he is a hypocrite who likes stabbing people for no reason and thinks trying to put an end to war is madness I'm sure he is alot more heroic in context but I just thought it's funny.
I know nothing about it, and I already know the fact that he was already a villain by heart in the beginning anyways. I mean, his real name IS Jack The Ripper after all. So it wasn’t that hard to guess dude. However, If I do remember correctly, is that he’s an Anti-Hero, not technically a villain because It’s his suit that’s been making him driven to combat and doesn’t realize it. Also, stop being such a gamekeeper
@@Angel-bz5jm You raise some fair points, but Raiden does have a good reason for stabbing people. And Sundowner’s fight...yeah, you thought Monsoon was bad, but at least he had some justification (suffering under Pol Pot). And then there's the whole child brain-harvesting/turning-them-into-child-soldiers operation they’ve got going on and suffice to say, Raiden has some good reasons for killing people here.
This game is the equivalent of having a good reason but going about the worst way to handle it. Its still completely badass and I still think jack is a hero. Being traumatized as a child led him to being one of the best killers on earth and he has to fight Armstrong in the end which is more of a conflicting set of ideals. Raiden doesn’t really disagree with Armstrong but he still wont allow Armstrong to create conflict.
When I fought against Monsoon for the first time, and I saw his ability, it made me realise how OP Buggy The Clown from One Piece could actually be if he just took things serious for once.
@Chandelier Mirage Yeah but then you can get that annoying thing where his hand keeps attacking even when he's stunned, like I kept having happen.. Screw that crap-
Monsoon is such an interesting character. Unlike Sam, Mistral and Sundowner - Monsoon makes his first appearance *right* before you fight him. And while canonically he is apparently a soldier from the Khmer Rouge, I had seen a theory about Monsoon that he was actually the consciousness of a Dead Patriot, given that he knows a bit more than everyone else about Armstrong's master plan, his Nihilism and his focus on memes carrying over through generations being an aspect of the Patriots controlling the world through wars for generations. Also - while a random chance during the fights end Monsoon is left pleading for his life against Raiden's onslaught "Stop, stop it!" Meaning that Raiden was so horrifyingly violent he put the fear of death BACK into a Nihilist
I dont beleive Monsoon was a soldier in war, but rather grew up in a place of war (I dont know much about Cambodian history though so forgive me if my assumption is wrong). He was associated more with gang organizations than that of military ones, Its said he was involved with drug trade and human trafficking. Plus, He lost his body in a gang shootout. He also comments on the way gangs work to Sam in the DLC. I think there's a bit of depressing irony to his life, that even after Desperado saved him, he was turned back into a tool for an organization to use. Desperado is literally *written* on his body in big text. I think his memes ideology stems from his hatred of soldiers, who ruined his life from the beggining. How people have no free will and just do as they're told, hell you can even see what he's talking about with people like Khamsin. I think him begging for his life is like a realization to him, he laughs like a madman when fighting, but once he's devastated like that his facade drops. He's probably belonged to Desperado so long it had an effect on him that Raiden broke, even if just temporarily. Fearing the fact that he'd just die as a tool, never reaching a peaceful life.
@@zackool It's implied that he saw the worse: "Phnom Penh taught me that," "you aren't the only one who grew up on the killing fields." Both of which was were some the worst atrocities took place. It's possible that Monsoon's ideology of memes and social Darwinism is a trauma response, a coping mechanism, to the horrible shit he saw.
Al R-e like the idea that might makes right, or that cultural differences like how in some countries you do certain things because that's just what everyone does. The new meaning of memes still kind of applies to the old meaning but the old meaning is more expansive.
In the beginning, Sam said Jack denied his weapon its purpose. But Jack The Ripper would give the sword purpose. Sam was probably looking for a better fight.
Let's be real, Metal Gear Rising Revengence awoken the 10 year old edge lord inside all of us I mean what the hell does revengence even suppose to mean
True, i mostly draw my OC with western style sword but after i played MGR along eith its DLC story specially Jetstream Sam, i end up drawing my OC with katana
This is one of the best cutscenes in metal Gear history! Monsoon knows about his death yet his words will remain in Raiden's head forever and he know that. Thank you for the likes I really appreciate you all
Monsoon is probably my favorite character in MGR:R. He isn't a warmonger like Sundowner; he isn't in love like Mistral; he isn't bloodthirsty like Sam or Raiden. He is but a nihilist, pure and simple despair. He doesn't believe in anything because he believes that nobody does, that everyone is controlled by memes.
I wouldn't say Monsoon is insane or has lost his mind in any significant way. It seems more like he just has twisted ideals, such as "kill or be killed" and that "memes are the DNA of the soul", which basically means that people embody the ideals and beliefs that are passed to them either from good/bad past experiences and/or other people. Raiden, in Ripper Mode at least, actually does love cold-blooded murder and lives to see bloodshed and pain, whereas Monsoon simply sees fighting and killing as a part of life, not good nor bad. It's just like how he views the cherry blossoms from the Jetstream Sam DLC, when he says that he thinks they weren't beautiful nor ugly, just existing and a part of life, nothing more and nothing less. He sees bloodshed and fighting the same way; not good, not evil, just sorta there in our lives, and that just like rain falling and wind blowing, there's nothing anyone can do to stop or change it.
The gameplay is based on Raiden's ability to cut things in pieces. But here they put a boss already in pieces, so you can't easily damage him with your weapons. I love this contrast for some reason. An iconic gameplay's dynamic having its nemesis it's a really cool concept
04:54 "uhm, boss? i stabbed him and now hes laughing, i think i fucked up" - quote from some random comment on a different video with the same cutscene.
Reminds me of the quote from SAO Abridged: "Uh, boss? A thought occurs; this guy thought he was going up against Laughing Coffin, yet he still only brought himself and a small child... Still think we can take this guy?"
The most favorable thing in this whole scene is how Monsoon attempts to do one of those "oh YOU are the bad guy" manipulation speeches, only to realise he was telling lies that were actually the truth, in the end he regretted it
Monsoon made a horrible judge of character. He thought Raiden would be an easier kill if he reminded him of his past as Jack the Ripper. He thought Raiden would never be able to make peace with that part of himself. But he did, and the rest- as well as Monsoon himself- was history.
@@sundowner8326 also Armstrong tells jack that he(jack) carved his own path which the song says "I carve my own path, you follow your wath" basically saying its jacks song
Only in Metal Gear Rising can you find a white cyborg African man fighting a nihilistic Cambodian man held together by magnets who talks about memes with an electrically powered katana fueled by spine fluids attached to his heels.

15:51 Fun fact, you can parry this attack a couple times and after parrying it twice (I think it was twice) You can go into blade mode and cut it into pieces
This is my favorite moment in the whole game. The introduction is grandiose, that opening line "How pleased you are to chop away Jack the Ripper" is one of my favorite pieces of dialogue in gaming. The hysterical philosophical debate about memes, to a younger me, seemed like it was about funny images of cats with captions, but as a man, I understand that it refers to cultural DNA. How fitting it is that the term Meme has two different connotations, but has ultimately remained the same. A meme like hatred is passed on by victims of war and genoice, and a meme about minecraft creepers is passed from one person to another. Back to the game, after this cutscene, chock full of heavy dialogue with lots to read into, Monsoon prepares to fight you, and that guitar riff that leads into the fight is just fucking sick. It gets me pumped every single time. The music in this game is absolutely incredible, I love it so much that if I struggle with a particular fight I just turn the music up as loud as I can handle. Monsoons theme is particular fantastic to me, the lyrics paint Monsoon as a victim of a particularly harsh meme. Adrenaline. The constant blood pumping tension and excitement of war leads his normal life empty and meaningless. This is a very common thing for veterans to experience, and this song captures the mental anguish of that so well. The fight itself is also wonderful, and after hurling cars, helicopters, giant spinning wheels of random metallic junk, and a marble pillar at you, you get to slice him to ribbons. The song ends just as wonderfully as it starts, and just as suddenly too. I love this game so much.
"Meme" is used in it's original context but it still perfectly describes internet memes. They totally have shaped our culture, beyond the internet, and will continue to do so.

@@jaggerboiii2992 The both of them increasing their madness, Raiden giving up control over the Ripper, as Monsoon's devilish smile grows more intense as the riff and battle begin.. these moments make the game
This game's boss designs are bloody brilliant, imagine fighting slenderman that is a woman and also has like 50 hands on her back, a dude who uses self dissection for a method of dodging and can break the 4th wall at the end of his battle, a bald scissor man with ERA that SHOULD HAVE GONE ON TANKS, a Brazilian samurai who is somehow stronger without his sword, and a senator who can become tungsten at will
The thing i love about Monsoon and Jacks conversation is that Monsoon lectured Jack about Memes and rules of nature, etc. And When Raiden Showed him his true nature. Monsoon was just disgusted rather than afraid. That reaction from monsoon really sold me.
This is my favorite boss fight in the game. So fucking epic. The music, the extremely fast pace, the dialogue. So epic. I dont know why people find him so hard though. If you can parry this guy isnt that hard. He's not easy, but damn is he fun as fuck to fight.
4:55 Those guys... They're supposed to be so pumped full of adreanaline and what not that they shouldn't be physically capable of feeling fear... Yet he's backing off... That should be everyone's cue to run the fuck away.
The stains of time fits this boss battle so well... The fast paced beat along with guitar solos here and there, it's so Chaotic, just like Monsoon in the fight. Just take a look at this part, He doesn't let the Player do anything while the vocals are playing, this gave me goosebumps 12:15

Let this sink in: a dude that just spent an entire cutscene mocking you for wanting to save lives, sees to it that you’re psychologically injured enough to reawaken the side of you that you tried to get rid of, and basically sees people’s lives and their values as meaningless, a guy like *that* is terrified of you killing him. Just for a moment, you scared a hardcore, sociopathic nihilist into valuing his own life long after he stopped valuing other people’s lives. Too little too late, though. Should have known that provoking someone as infamous as “Jack The Ripper” would have…less than pleasant results.
Hilariously, he only does that if the player does a good enough job beating him. Otherwise, he just says "do as you wish". A nihilist to the end. Either way, he dies in comfort knowing he passed a meme onto you.

5:40 'You've lost your mind...' I LOVE that. Even one of the Winds of Destruction is disgusted by Raiden's true side.
Personally, I don't think it's "disgust," per se. But rather Monsoon is making a literal observation:
Raiden has slipped from his superficial moral juxtaposition, and now has truly embrace the Ripper.
@@colt9836 Yeah but listen to his voice when he says it.
@@raidenthenctzenwithinsomni4961 Well, of course, there's going to be some disgust because Monsoon doesn't kill for pleasure.
Unlike Jack.
@supersoniclegend That was question directed to Raiden, so...
@supersoniclegend Monsoon doesn't fight because he likes to, he does because he believes it's an unavoidable truth about life; to him, trying to stop killing is akin to trying to stop a thunderstorm.
You have to remember that Monsoon is a nihilist; he believes that nobody believes in anything, that we are products of memes (basically people embodies ideas/experiences/actions from other people). Morality, to Monsoon, is just a fancy that people say they adhere to. To him, caring for someone is no different than saying "thank you" to someone who held the door for you:
Reflexive, mindless, and, ultimately, shallow.

He even says "I'll put you under, Weakling!"
Well yeah, monsoon is supposed be a boss that basically inflicts max pain on someone, one of his moves is to pin you to the ground and stab repeatedly
And then the scene from failing to avoid it is extremely anticlimactic.
I think everyone knew... what else was there to think?
5:30-6:16 somebody who knows nothing about this game and has only seen this sequence has every reason to think Raiden is the villain
That would be me.
All I have seen are the Armstrong, Sam, and Monsoon boss fights and all I know about jack is that he is a hypocrite who likes stabbing people for no reason and thinks trying to put an end to war is madness
I'm sure he is alot more heroic in context but I just thought it's funny.
I know nothing about it, and I already know the fact that he was already a villain by heart in the beginning anyways. I mean, his real name IS Jack The Ripper after all. So it wasn’t that hard to guess dude. However, If I do remember correctly, is that he’s an Anti-Hero, not technically a villain because It’s his suit that’s been making him driven to combat and doesn’t realize it. Also, stop being such a gamekeeper
@@Jericho_Richards where tf did he gatekeep?
@@Angel-bz5jm
You raise some fair points, but Raiden does have a good reason for stabbing people. And Sundowner’s fight...yeah, you thought Monsoon was bad, but at least he had some justification (suffering under Pol Pot). And then there's the whole child brain-harvesting/turning-them-into-child-soldiers operation they’ve got going on and suffice to say, Raiden has some good reasons for killing people here.
This game is the equivalent of having a good reason but going about the worst way to handle it. Its still completely badass and I still think jack is a hero. Being traumatized as a child led him to being one of the best killers on earth and he has to fight Armstrong in the end which is more of a conflicting set of ideals. Raiden doesn’t really disagree with Armstrong but he still wont allow Armstrong to create conflict.
When I fought against Monsoon for the first time, and I saw his ability, it made me realise how OP Buggy The Clown from One Piece could actually be if he just took things serious for once.

Monsoon is such an interesting character. Unlike Sam, Mistral and Sundowner - Monsoon makes his first appearance *right* before you fight him. And while canonically he is apparently a soldier from the Khmer Rouge, I had seen a theory about Monsoon that he was actually the consciousness of a Dead Patriot, given that he knows a bit more than everyone else about Armstrong's master plan, his Nihilism and his focus on memes carrying over through generations being an aspect of the Patriots controlling the world through wars for generations.
Also - while a random chance during the fights end Monsoon is left pleading for his life against Raiden's onslaught "Stop, stop it!" Meaning that Raiden was so horrifyingly violent he put the fear of death BACK into a Nihilist
doesnt monsoon also say do as you please! in a different video i saw it
I dont beleive Monsoon was a soldier in war, but rather grew up in a place of war (I dont know much about Cambodian history though so forgive me if my assumption is wrong). He was associated more with gang organizations than that of military ones, Its said he was involved with drug trade and human trafficking. Plus, He lost his body in a gang shootout. He also comments on the way gangs work to Sam in the DLC. I think there's a bit of depressing irony to his life, that even after Desperado saved him, he was turned back into a tool for an organization to use. Desperado is literally *written* on his body in big text. I think his memes ideology stems from his hatred of soldiers, who ruined his life from the beggining. How people have no free will and just do as they're told, hell you can even see what he's talking about with people like Khamsin.
I think him begging for his life is like a realization to him, he laughs like a madman when fighting, but once he's devastated like that his facade drops. He's probably belonged to Desperado so long it had an effect on him that Raiden broke, even if just temporarily. Fearing the fact that he'd just die as a tool, never reaching a peaceful life.

Monsoon telling Raiden he's lost his mind... clear case of the pot calling the kettle black.
SonicStar917
Its what makes this game interesting.
mental man
I wouldn't say Monsoon is insane or has lost his mind in any significant way. It seems more like he just has twisted ideals, such as "kill or be killed" and that "memes are the DNA of the soul", which basically means that people embody the ideals and beliefs that are passed to them either from good/bad past experiences and/or other people.
Raiden, in Ripper Mode at least, actually does love cold-blooded murder and lives to see bloodshed and pain, whereas Monsoon simply sees fighting and killing as a part of life, not good nor bad. It's just like how he views the cherry blossoms from the Jetstream Sam DLC, when he says that he thinks they weren't beautiful nor ugly, just existing and a part of life, nothing more and nothing less. He sees bloodshed and fighting the same way; not good, not evil, just sorta there in our lives, and that just like rain falling and wind blowing, there's nothing anyone can do to stop or change it.
Monsoon is a nihilist, but he's rational. Raiden is not.
Hello pot meet kettle.
The gameplay is based on Raiden's ability to cut things in pieces. But here they put a boss already in pieces, so you can't easily damage him with your weapons. I love this contrast for some reason. An iconic gameplay's dynamic having its nemesis it's a really cool concept

This is my favorite moment in the whole game.
The introduction is grandiose, that opening line "How pleased you are to chop away Jack the Ripper" is one of my favorite pieces of dialogue in gaming. The hysterical philosophical debate about memes, to a younger me, seemed like it was about funny images of cats with captions, but as a man, I understand that it refers to cultural DNA. How fitting it is that the term Meme has two different connotations, but has ultimately remained the same. A meme like hatred is passed on by victims of war and genoice, and a meme about minecraft creepers is passed from one person to another. Back to the game, after this cutscene, chock full of heavy dialogue with lots to read into, Monsoon prepares to fight you, and that guitar riff that leads into the fight is just fucking sick. It gets me pumped every single time. The music in this game is absolutely incredible, I love it so much that if I struggle with a particular fight I just turn the music up as loud as I can handle. Monsoons theme is particular fantastic to me, the lyrics paint Monsoon as a victim of a particularly harsh meme. Adrenaline. The constant blood pumping tension and excitement of war leads his normal life empty and meaningless. This is a very common thing for veterans to experience, and this song captures the mental anguish of that so well. The fight itself is also wonderful, and after hurling cars, helicopters, giant spinning wheels of random metallic junk, and a marble pillar at you, you get to slice him to ribbons. The song ends just as wonderfully as it starts, and just as suddenly too. I love this game so much.
I agree 100%
His ability to split into smaller parts is also so cool
Raiden is the only one who can give multiple one-liners in one scene and still make it work.
Leon: Am I a joke to you?
Just the way the lyrics kick in the moment he jumps down and yells “I have won this” gets me to crack a smile every time.
*Objective: parry a whole lot.*
Yep, if you want to easily beat monsoon parrying is non negotiable, especially on harder difficulty’s.
6:57 "Ickey is now online"
That made me laugh thinking Monsoon is controlled by him lmao.
"Meme" is used in it's original context but it still perfectly describes internet memes. They totally have shaped our culture, beyond the internet, and will continue to do so.
He was also talking about societal memes, which have existed long before the internet
@@TovenDo.O.Video- They started to exist when one of our pre-historic sapient ancestor throwed his shit to the some guy who angered him and others thought "that move is cool, we should be like him"
Like bladewolf says he gained sentience by downloading internet data, I find it applies to me and now future children.
16:00 God the music synced up PERFECTLY with the QTE trigger.
I did that once. But only once.
The game is programmed to change the music according to what is happening out there
MynameisBrianZX Hey i just Sync just like that along a S Rank
Satisfying....
I can never sync it up and it hurts me
The slashes of his sword also sync to the eat of the music when he's chopping.
6:54 to 7:04
One of the things I loved about this game, is that it's filled with moments like this. This moment was probably the best one out of all of them.
Man, my favourite line in the entire game
@@jaggerboiii2992 The both of them increasing their madness, Raiden giving up control over the Ripper, as Monsoon's devilish smile grows more intense as the riff and battle begin.. these moments make the game
@@CaptainRasco I think it's time for Jack..... TO LET'ER RIP!!!!
@@jaggerboiii2992 ickey232 is now online.
Yeah that line with his eyes flashing red as well as the line when he is about to fight SAM and says it ends here and his face shield goes up.
This game's boss designs are bloody brilliant, imagine fighting slenderman that is a woman and also has like 50 hands on her back, a dude who uses self dissection for a method of dodging and can break the 4th wall at the end of his battle, a bald scissor man with ERA that SHOULD HAVE GONE ON TANKS, a Brazilian samurai who is somehow stronger without his sword, and a senator who can become tungsten at will
And 2 giant fucking robots
@@ent1ty_ryd3r_ And what the dog doin turned into a machine a.k.a sawtail wolf
Dont forget the UCAV
"Memes. The DNA of the soul" holy shit yes
how about "full of shit" is that a meme
im saying jack is back
you cant fight The Memes, Jack!
@@raidenjack2390 samurai jack
The thing i love about Monsoon and Jacks conversation is that Monsoon lectured Jack about Memes and rules of nature, etc. And When Raiden Showed him his true nature. Monsoon was just disgusted rather than afraid. That reaction from monsoon really sold me.
Which is undercut by his “I misjudged you” remark afterward.
This is my favorite boss fight in the game. So fucking epic. The music, the extremely fast pace, the dialogue. So epic. I dont know why people find him so hard though. If you can parry this guy isnt that hard. He's not easy, but damn is he fun as fuck to fight.
let's test that theory with armstrong boss fight...
I know that doesn't work on Armstrong. I'm just talking talking about Monsoon.
MelanicDisaster i know...
MelanicDisaster for some reason it is hard to parry. I thought it was just forward and x but idk any more lol
To parry you hit X/square and the analog stick in whatever direction he's at, at the same time.
Everyone thought this game was so weird and edgy when it came out, but we are like 10 years away from this being the dominant fashion style lmao
The moment ickey321 goes online, you know it's gonna be good
Player 2 is online.
BRO I THOUGHT THE SAME THING
ickey321 is maining Monsoon
When I first played this game and Jack unleashed his ripper mode, he sounded more like a killer. I mean, u can you hear the bloodthrist in his voice
The laugh was a bit hokey
@@DirectorOfChaos9292 his voice becomes very Husky whenever he activates Jack the ripper mode
17:18 I have no words
This is the best moment of the fight probably
Kratos: Ghost of Sparta.
Dante: Son of Sparda.
Raiden: Jack the ripper.
Monsoon son of memes
4:55 Those guys... They're supposed to be so pumped full of adreanaline and what not that they shouldn't be physically capable of feeling fear...
Yet he's backing off...
That should be everyone's cue to run the fuck away.
FrozenSolid90 could also be surprise that he wasn't dead and just laughing at him
Adrenaline can’t nullify a fear that intense.
Cyborg: (*Stabs Raiden*)
Raiden: (*Laughs it off*)
Cyborg: .. Oh shit, I messed up-
Monsoon doesn’t even have 10 minutes of dialogue and just oozes charisma
The stains of time fits this boss battle so well... The fast paced beat along with guitar solos here and there, it's so Chaotic, just like Monsoon in the fight. Just take a look at this part, He doesn't let the Player do anything while the vocals are playing, this gave me goosebumps 12:15
13:27 the sounds of the blades hitting synchronizes with the beat of the lyrics.. monsoon goes unbelievably hard
