Cool little fact: Zhao Yun’s moves in this opening later became his permanent DW6 moveset 0:49 -> his running charge attack with True Speed 1:08 -> his weapon deadlock win 1:32 -> his musou attack
Love that you pointed this out - was the first thing I noticed when I got my hands on dw6 - I still feel like his later move sets are still inspired by this to some degree
@@kazutobilal7566 base on history they are different age .. zhao yun is far older.. also lubu and zhao yun also not come from same age.. lubu died before zhaoyun became general
@@VinVin21969 Lu Bu died before Zhao Yun became a general yes, but they did briefly meet at Hu Lao Gate. Lu Bu refused to fight Zhao Yun because he was a teenager at the time and despite how he's always portrayed, Lu Bu did have some sense of honor. He wouldn't fight teenage soldiers or women
@@Alan-cm7ye that's true fun fact the entire fight scene of Zhao Yun up until the aforementioned 1:40 is actually taken from a proper spear training combat session
1:40 is indeed the least realistic, but it's not totally outside of the realm of possibility. We already have bullets and guns with strong enough velocity to rip your arm off just from being a few feet away from the MISSED bullet. A human being wielding some kind of super weapon, say, in the form of Zhao Yun's spear, should at some point be able to create such velocity to replicate this scene. Not a thing today, but definitely could be. Not out of the realm of possibility. It'd be truly amazing to witness real life super warriors like Zhao Yun in this trailer.
What I love about this opening is that I was able to create my own story behind this scene. Takes place after the fall of Shu, or Shu lost a huge battle that cost the life of Liu Bei. Everyone in Shu is too demoralized too anything, except for Zhao Yun who decides to take the fight straight to the emperor of Wei, Cao Pi. And the rest is played in the op.
The best part is that this opening alone is basically the reason why Zhao Yun's moveset was the way it was in DW6 and then adapted to the spear moveset for 7-8.
One thing I liked about this game, is how easy it is to get into, being a bityon masher, you can press the same sequence/combination of buttons, and k.o hundreds or thousands of enemy soldiers. You dont need to pull off well timed combos, just pressing square, square, square, triangle (on PS2),, can have you wipe out opponents quickly and easily. My favourite characters were Ling Tong, Jiangwei, Ma Chao, Zhiang Fei, Zhao Yun Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Lu Meng, mma, Xahou Dun, xahou Yuan, Sun Ce, Guang Ping. The levels I played in free mode were The Yellow Turban Rebellion, Wu Territory, ChangBab, Xia Pin Mount Ding Jun, Fan Castle, Hu Lao Gate, Chi Bi, Escape from Chi Bi. I love this game, I use to play it 4 -5 hours every day, and it gradually led to my interest in Chinese History,. I saw the movie Red Cliff part 1 and 2 and watched the Dynasty Warriors live action movie. 😀
The real fact is Zhao Yun in this opening is actually on his quest to save both liu bei's wife alone. But eventually at the end he only manage to save only one of liu bei's wife.
This is the first Dynasty Warriors game I have ever played. All of a sudden I had the urge to rewatch the opening cut scene because of how ridiculously awesome I remembered it was 😁. After all these years It still never fails to amaze me.
Sun Quan, Zhou Tai, Pang de & Cao Pi were my favourite characters back in the day. Sun Quan above all. I liked Lu Bu aswell but could never play as him because he was my sisters favourite haha
a lot in this game tried to make out that chinese legends were op as fk in there history, but this game was just too good to care and still gave us some amazing characters. it was good eventually they got some of the names properly pronounced correctly, it took me ages to say cao cao's actual names pronounced properly as i was use to the old way he was called.
This isn't about nostalgic moment. Its about the concept itself, just on point, simple but really hit the greatness..Already watch all the intro in DW series, they are cool, BUT this is the best opening concept !!!!
Might be wrong but this actually reminds me very much of the fight in Romance of the Three Kingdoms where Zao Yun is meant to singlehandedly fight his way out with Liu Bei's child... by similar I mean I will need to go back and watch it but it looked practically the same to me - pretty cool if they did copy that imo, definitely must of been inspiration for this cinematic at least.
Must suck so hard to be in this world. Imagine training to be a good soldier for 30+ years just to be blasted with all your mates 200 meters in the air by a petite 17 year old 😂
The good childhood old days ,That we search for the 4th weapons for every characters ❤ My favorite Valuable Item is Lubu's horse( Red Hare Harness ) the fastest horse❤
Wow Zhao yun got swagger I rem playing dynasty warriors 3 back in 2006 Since i grew in africa (cameroon) 🇨🇲 I remember ma friends coming over to visit so we could play it together Thanks dad for shipping me that console back then it was an incredible experience
Real talk the reason this opening is absolutely fire is because all the movements Zhao Yun is doing are believable you CAN in real life do everything he does in the video with a spear, (ASIDE FROM THE JUMPING IN THE AIR MAGIC THING)
For an opening of 2005 game, this was a top notch animation
You should check out the onimusha 3 intro then
Fr they got kinda lazy later on kinda sad
@@killafschick3923DW7 opening was good idk what you mean by lazy
@@killafschick3923DW7 and DW8 had awesome intros!
it's still an epic animation even by current standards.
Back when gaming was much simpler and fun. I loved the introduction of Cao Pi as a character.
I never thought Id find you here
Dynasty Warriors 5 is the best game of the series, or at least for the PS2. This game beats Dynasty Warriors 4.
“I am Cow Pee”(handsome voice”
The times where you’d just bomb rush enemies because you knew no one could stop you.
You were the *_unstoppable force._*
Bro your everywhere 😂
Cool little fact: Zhao Yun’s moves in this opening later became his permanent DW6 moveset
0:49 -> his running charge attack with True Speed
1:08 -> his weapon deadlock win
1:32 -> his musou attack
That when I was a kid and accidentally pressed the joystick and Zhao Yun went electric and running pretty fast. Truly the greatest discovery ever.
Love that you pointed this out - was the first thing I noticed when I got my hands on dw6 - I still feel like his later move sets are still inspired by this to some degree
All of DW openings are cool, but Dynasty Warriors 5 is the best!
Agreed !
I liked 4 better
This opening concept really hit me. Solid animation and lit bmg from koike
@@cutecutecarrot9473 wut?
I hella agree with yea!!
First Dynasty Warriors game since childhood, and always will be my favourite.
Yeah man, i fell the same..
Mine too!!
Likewise
Me too with the 3
Me too me and my brother grew up on this game!
Fun fact: Zhao Yun and Cao Pi never actually “met” in the DW5 story.
Seriously? Not in chibi?
@@kazutobilal7566 base on history they are different age .. zhao yun is far older.. also lubu and zhao yun also not come from same age.. lubu died before zhaoyun became general

@@kiddfaz interesting
Wow, i really don't know about it
The whole choreography of Zhao Yun's part is just amazing. I know it's not realistic at all and everything, but DAMN it looks good.
It's realistic until 1:40
It's awesome!!
@@Alan-cm7ye that's true fun fact the entire fight scene of Zhao Yun up until the aforementioned 1:40 is actually taken from a proper spear training combat session

Love it you guys mention realistic on a video game that's several years old. Pfffttt
Any normal person facing any army by yourself: oh shit what the hell was I thinking
Zhao Yun: hold my cape
What I love about this opening is that I was able to create my own story behind this scene. Takes place after the fall of Shu, or Shu lost a huge battle that cost the life of Liu Bei. Everyone in Shu is too demoralized too anything, except for Zhao Yun who decides to take the fight straight to the emperor of Wei, Cao Pi. And the rest is played in the op.
The nostalgia is REEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAL
zhao yun killed 2 guys just by throwing his cape at them :D
And he killed 5 people only by kicking them at 1:19 😂
Zhao Yun still in our hearts
No matter how year-on-year we life
Still love DW 5 my childhood game 😁
My core childhood lies in this game's intro, so good to get to see it again 10 years later
It's 2021 and it's still one of the best games I've ever played
Boromir: One does not simply walk into Mordor...
Zhao Yun: You were saying?
The end of the intro saved Cao Pi. He was about to get his ass handed to him.
Zhao Yun's K.O. Count must be through the roof after just the opening...
9999 :v
Or 99999 maybe :v
I can imagine the amount of times the text "you are a true warrior of the 3 kingdoms" come up
I played this game when I was 5 years old … I still play it today. it was T for Teen but I did not care XD. so yes this is my childhood game.
Mine as well now I'm Turing 29 next week. Ughhh JUST TAKE ME NOW CORNAVIRUS!
And to think his moveset in this opening used as his moveset in Dynasty Warriors 6.
EPIC as Always Zhao Yun
miss my childhood, best hood ever
The best part is that this opening alone is basically the reason why Zhao Yun's moveset was the way it was in DW6 and then adapted to the spear moveset for 7-8.
Especially noticeable at 1:32, that's literally the exact same animation used for his musou attack in DW6
And at 1:36...thats basically his 1st Charge attack
DW5 was epic those were the glory days what an amazing opening.
6th of March 2019, still the best opening so far
Zephyrus Hildebrand I am with you
2021

Best Opening!! Of the series..
And best gameplay
All of in this game is better then any other games in series
I hadn’t played the original DW5 since when I played my original Xbox and immediately got goosebumps seeing my boy, Zhao Yun, again.
wow, a miracle wind just freed wei and zhao yun from madussas curse and the first thing they do is fight.
What playing Dynasty Warriors Feels like
Probably the best intro in the franchise.
That one person that dislike this probably try this and got his butt kick
zhao yun (one man army) vs. cao pi's 1000 soldiers, I like zhao yun odds of winning.
km01 1 million
The real fact is Zhao Yun in this opening is actually on his quest to save both liu bei's wife alone. But eventually at the end he only manage to save only one of liu bei's wife.
Still the best opening
BlazinBro786 I feel the same way
I’ve had all the games and I love this opening way better bro
Agreed !
Yes
Agreed
This is the first Dynasty Warriors game I have ever played. All of a sudden I had the urge to rewatch the opening cut scene because of how ridiculously awesome I remembered it was 😁. After all these years It still never fails to amaze me.
This cutscene always made me feel like there was a huge rivalry between zhao yun and cao pi, even though I don't think there was.
It was a rivalry between the pretty bois 😂
@@hongkongphooey4292 Old vs new.
ohh good memories :)
me and my brother put super hours into this game series when we were younger. God I miss those days
This is why i like playing Zhao Yun on every dynasty warrior games, his skill with Spears is so cool and clean
man they can make a movie or tv show out of this, with the same animations
here at 10th may 2018, still the best opening for DW series
Steel the best game in DW series
My childhood game
The last DW game where characters didn't look like they were wearing Medieval armor
hands down the best Dynasty Warriors
A lot of the moves he uses here are used in Dynasty Warriors 6. He is is awesome.
I was just remembering these good fuckin days then wanted to watch their opening cinematics and 5 was the first one to come to mind haha
this is where i started all >.
Sun Quan, Zhou Tai, Pang de & Cao Pi were my favourite characters back in the day. Sun Quan above all. I liked Lu Bu aswell but could never play as him because he was my sisters favourite haha
Dynasty Warriors 5 remastered plz :)
Dynasty Warriors 5 is and always will be the best forever!!!
Dynasty Warriors 5 was my favorite
a lot in this game tried to make out that chinese legends were op as fk in there history, but this game was just too good to care and still gave us some amazing characters. it was good eventually they got some of the names properly pronounced correctly, it took me ages to say cao cao's actual names pronounced properly as i was use to the old way he was called.
nostalgia is real. even I cry when I heard this song
2019 still unbeatable
This isn't about nostalgic moment.
Its about the concept itself, just on point, simple but really hit the greatness..Already watch all the intro in DW series, they are cool, BUT this is the best opening concept !!!!
ahh yes.... my childhood
Fun fact, dw6 Zhao Yun move set was based on this opening
Wow i just remember now, when zhao yun run fast he can do spinning move with spear
@@halimal7510 and he will do extension move like in the opening when in rage. Also his musou finisher literally copied from this opening
Yes and fans were divided on DW6 gameplay. I missed the old style but also like the new style.
The nostalgia of the time when things were much fun as kids back then
Omg here 2023 ☺️☺️🥲
Might be wrong but this actually reminds me very much of the fight in Romance of the Three Kingdoms where Zao Yun is meant to singlehandedly fight his way out with Liu Bei's child... by similar I mean I will need to go back and watch it but it looked practically the same to me - pretty cool if they did copy that imo, definitely must of been inspiration for this cinematic at least.
My beautiful childhood ! 0.0
I just like how elastic Zhao Yun spear is
Ahhh, the good old days
POV you took a gamble on a game you never even heard of before you just seen it at Walmart one day
This is 2023 and still the best DW series
Must suck so hard to be in this world. Imagine training to be a good soldier for 30+ years just to be blasted with all your mates 200 meters in the air by a petite 17 year old 😂
Back when life was simple😌
The good childhood old days ,That we search for the 4th weapons for every characters ❤ My favorite Valuable Item is Lubu's horse( Red Hare Harness ) the fastest horse❤
I started on DW 3 and thought DW 3 opening was so good compared to DW 4, and then came DW 5 opening. This one is the best!
Yo still my fav!!! From 10 to 26!!!
Simply epic. Gosh I miss these games.
same
Here to clean my eyes after watching Magical Girl Zhao Yun
among dynasty warriors openings there's dynasty warriors 5 (legendary)
This opening is fantastic. It amps you up to play the game. DW5 is the best!
I use to play the shit out of this game with my cousin brother.
Yeah this game I have playit after 12 years, never old for me
This is the most fire intro to a DW game
This brings back memories when I would just go running around killing npc ¬ knowing nothing about the story
1:14 eargasm
Memories, so many memories
This is the best one, the absurdity it's inside the boundaries of the "absurdily" believable, in the later ones gravity was totally unexistent.
Still one of the best, if not the best intro..
man,if there were such stage with that much soldier,our K.O count meter will go crazy
Wow
Zhao yun got swagger
I rem playing dynasty warriors 3 back in 2006
Since i grew in africa (cameroon) 🇨🇲
I remember ma friends coming over to visit so we could play it together
Thanks dad for shipping me that console back then it was an incredible experience
koei make zhao yun great again
wow id totally play that stage on chaos mode and see how far id come :D
So nostalgic man 😓
Best opening I've ever seen with assassin's creed revelations's
When life was great....
if only zhao yun true musou is like in the intro
It is
Real talk the reason this opening is absolutely fire is because all the movements Zhao Yun is doing are believable you CAN in real life do everything he does in the video with a spear, (ASIDE FROM THE JUMPING IN THE AIR MAGIC THING)
00:42 - Playing Crush 'em all from Dynasty Warriors 7
Good times playing this as a kid
my first PS2 game
good ol days 🥲
This my best game
CAN'T STOP WATCHING THISS
The best version Lu Bu theme
1:40 You are a true warrior of the three Kingdoms
Scary thing is, now we CAN play like this
The one everyone loves the most.
My fav DW intro ever
