Dont care what anybody says, this guy is an anime character birthed to life
Yeah, he's from Yoyo's Bizarre Adventure. Lol just ignore me
@@sh1ft3r79 lmao XD
Accurate!!
i agree
Bizarre indeed
"I once saw him kill 3 men in a bar, with a yoyo"
Taslima Hassin John wick reference
I thought he used a pencil
Me: Yes, I know. You've said that already.
You: Who the f*ck can do that?
John Wick reference😂👊
Terraria players: first time?
Proof that he’s an anime character:
1. Has the “jo-jo” spin attack
2. Wears a Japanese clothes
3. Is Japanese
4. Has a Spiky hairstyle
5. And most importantly, he has an opening.
Edit: I forgot that he uses a Yo-yo thus making him a Joestar
he look like kujaku-oh
He also has black hair lol
Stop.
He also has character development
Ok where is his opening?
8:10 That moment when the anime character is nearly defeated so he awakens his full strength
underrated
Sheeee
Level of difficulty
1.easy
2.medium
3.hard
4.japanese
Remove the japanese, add asian xD
Japanese can't do like this😢
해품달 김수현

*Asian
He's using his chakra, to manipulate the yoyos... his level of chakra mastery is far beyond that of any shinobi I have seen in a long time...
AlphaOmega115 hahahahahahahahaha omgg im in tearsssss u made my day 😂😂😂😂😂
nope, he's using Nen
AlphaOmega115 no lie I honestly believe that
Wut?
Rotmg Neon you talking about nen?
If so it's from hunter x hunter
That was absolutely incredible. Loved the "sheathing" of his "weapon" at the end, iairi style. Very cool.
The avenger that thanos was too scared to fight
@RaixDea it's him
A lot of people wouldnt understand how hard it is to make yo-yos seem cool or intense, to the average person hes just whipping it around but if you actually yoyo you know how hard this stuff is. Keep this stuff up my guy
:)
And there is a serious learning curve to get even a few of the tricks he presented down.
Bread i mean like you almost cant even see the yoyo
This is the dude that tried boingy boing first than rock the baby 😃🤣
Im bad at yo-yo
I'm a speedcuber and i know how much there is a difference between what a normie sees and what a professional sees. I never did yo-yo but i can clearly see that there are a lot of efforts placed in this.
He trained many years for this 10 minutes 😌
A big respect from India to you.
Very hard practised
Saiyan Beast thats the man living his dream, not many people can do that, they dont have such passion as him.
Actually trained many years to perform at a Ted Talks, but also pass an audition for Cirque du Soleil and win multiple yoyo championships.
Ugh, Hindi freaks?
He trained many years to have confidence in something he's good at, not for a Ted show
He probably has a flashback everytime he does a trick.
He remembers why hes fighting
He remembers all his friends and former rivals cheering him on
@@sasdagreat8052 it feels him with determination
@@armedwithwings3953 undertale
Inner monolouge:
“I have to give it all I GOT! I used to be an untalented loser, but that all changed when I found my passion, my yo-yos. Im only here right now because of all my hard work and hardships that I had to surpass. It has lead up to this, this is the peak, I truly feel alive once again. Thank you yo-yos. You have gave my purpose in life and relit the very fire in my soul that burned out 10 years ago. I have to give this my all, this is what my life has lead to, I’ve never felt as alive as today, so please, lend me your power….”
You can really see the passion he has for this by the intense look in his eyes. Love it.
This guy is literally the yoyo class from Terraria
Hazza Jesshop just what I was thinking
He just needs one counterweight to make the bag... just... one...
@@herrkrause1103 He hasn't found a merchant selling one, give him some time
lol i think he has a yoyi bag
Lol you guys are terrarians, hi! me too! 😂😂
To those who's like: "Meh, seen better" or "He sucks". Take into consideration that he's matching the techniques used here to sync with the BGM. It's a performance or art for inspiration and ideas. Not a show-off talent of who can do jaw-dropping tricks. When you can mix your line of work with other arts, you create something that can be motivational/inspiring and be considered as "beautiful" work or "level of awesomeness".
They just jeali.
True, he is a true performer
Never Imagined that someone can yoyo thier way to ted talks.
I have seen everything now 😂😂
Have you seen _everything_ though? Have you seen a japanese man master the art of _yodelling?_
@@dootdoot3713 bet
You make one wrong move you literally wrap your whole body with the thread
+respect
"Teach me to be a YoYo master, YoYo man!"
But the YoYo man didn't listen.
*He just kept Yo-ing*
*some say he’s still yo-ing to this day*
I got u (pun) in my sight
@@spuddson lol
Hey, he's the negative person in the comments 🙏🙏😌
Yoyo-ing
I love how he sculpted his act with music and culture. An absolutely brilliant performance.
He did say that he learned many styles of dance to make his yoyo performance better. He really put a 100% of what he has learned to good use like the theatrical movements, the body flexibility, and balance.
7 years later we still get recommended
I just type and dig this one up once a year or so..

BLAZING TEENS V FINAL BATTLE IN NUNNHER One BCUS OF BLACKS PERFORMANCE ALL THE PEOPLE BLASTED AWAY
That bow at the end, just that sincere show of "thank you so much for letting me share this with you all, this passion I hold so dear" had me bawling, man. You can see in that moment the lack of respect he's had to endure for following his calling, just, wow. Loved every second of this.
yoyos were originally rough rocks on a rope used in the southeast asia as hunting weapons to be dropped on passing prey under trees. he just turned a hammer into a rifle. this is awesome man.
You probably laughed at his english, He laughed at your yo yo skills
Absolutely...!!!!
*he laugh at your Japanese
Nah I have respect for anyone who can speak a foreign language even half as good as him.
I'm nowhere near as good as him I'm decent this guy's a beast
@@andreasalbert6821 japanese and yoyo skills 😂
Remember kids, when you think you're very good at something, there's always an asian better than you
@@rutilus_rutilus well evan nagao is still asian lol
At some cases yes, but not at football 🤔
I *am* Asian
@@hausiusi1 yes its true. Asians are bad at football
Duuuuuuuuuuuuude.........
This guy could survive a fricking zombie apocalypse with just a yo-yo
And some blades to
Noah Beier
Terraria in a second
Agreed
Hahahha so true
6:55 that boingy boing transition was clean!
The first part of his performance o was like oh yeah I can do that, then he went like super Saiyan and busted out some sick tricks
Doing this by yourself and doing this on a stage in-front of thousands of people when you know you are being filmed are two completely different levels.
Pffff lmao no one cares about .... its fucking yo yo
I laugh about everyone who think this is cool
Mathias Weber bruhh...
THere are now 7 billion people in the world. In the entire history of man, I doubt there are more than a couple of dozen people who can do what he did. To be the best in the world at something, anything, is a feat worthy of admiration.

The sound of the croud is edited out there is a video where you can actually hear them
Thank you someone finally addressed that I thought I was the only one lol
It was edited sis
I was just wondering the amount of hardwork this dude has put to master his yo-yo skills! Mind blowing 🙌
i feel like it's a martial art and he can fight with it
Technically the yoyo is a Filipino weapon.
In ancient times, yoyo was used for hunting
@Steve Murphy lol
Yoyo is used as a weapon by Filipinos
Rope dart or Kushiro fundo is the type of wepon
5:46 how he beats up his bully
Your comment needs more attention🤣🤣
I died reading this 😂 😂
“ *Ah, my forehead-* “
I died reading this 😂😂
And add the music was fucking awesome...!!!!
Me: Realising I need to study for my tests and meet my coursework deadlines
My Brain: YO YO INTENSIFIES
If there was a title known as the grandmaster yoyo performer this guy would deserve it coz this is next level 👏
This dude can easily be a dbz character IRL
+TechSource That was good. Thanks for making my day fun sir :P
damnn.found you again in a comment section lol....
to techsource I supprisenly watch your videos!

+ddotcomm really, according to my reading it's 1006...
...wait...hold up. I've got this damn scouter upside down. IT'S OVER 9000!!
He watched Hunter X Hunter and got inspired by killua's yoyos
It's the other way around.
The Savage Guy
electlic yoyo！
Dude! I was about to say it's the real life killua!😂 good to see there is another fan out here!
Bold of you to assume that it wasn't the other way around.
He’s better.
This was just so amazing, the passion he had and the skills where very soothing. His hard work payed off.
8:45
Peter Parker practicing one of his “Signature” moves.
i.e., looks like Spider-Man doing that move where he rapidly shoots a lot of webs at a guy.
Tried it.. did over 6000$ worth of damage to my house..

+Decnet01 did you wear the kimono ?
+Jan Perez yep. probably what went wrong there.
+Decnet01 With a Yoyo? Thats actually really impressive.

this man is not better than ben conde
nathan yes i met ben before
he got the hair, bruh
that extreme hair lol
ive got something better
Honestly despite his essentially basic yoyo skills, this is one of the best yoyo *performances* I've ever seen
He really do love what he's doing.it showson his face & his performance!
When you get robbed but have a Yoyo on you
kayden nguyen lol
Then the robber must pray much much much...!!!!
so he did all this after getting robbed? lmao. you didn't word this right.
If the robber doesn't have a gun this guy would win every time. Imagine having a metal yoyo coming at you 4x a second.
This video bought honor to his family
Kanata Kaneki Absolutely!
i wonder how much it cost.
Depends. A good aluminium yoyo can cost 50 usd, titanium around 80 usd, dont get me started with bimetals
A bi-metal costs *WAY* cheaper than a ti.
All the tricks are quite simple actually, but he performed it very well and in an very artistic manner !
I am so touched by this show. I can see his passion to what he want to show to people. He share his passion to us. thank you.
As a performance that was brilliant! People need to keep in mind that while some of the tricks may not have seemed all that difficult, to incorporate all those moves into a routine to fit with the music and then pull them all off without fail takes a huge amount of practice and concentration. While you may have seen better tricks elsewhere, they were probably done one at time and not up on stage in front of many people. If he's been the world champion twice he probably has much more difficult tricks that probably didn't fit into the brilliant Japanese samurai performance. I just hope one day I can find something that I can be that passionate about, mad respect to this man who went as far as learning another language just to perform and bring his talent to another country.
His parents still wish he was a doctor.
😂LOL
They’re still asian
@@bradleymagbanua9393 No just an Asian stereotype
he can work as system engineer whenever he wants
I thaught this dialog is just for Iranian parents🤔
a natural smile comes to my face as the video progresses
this guy is great and his backstory is so motivational
From the small village of Yo, in the country of Yo...a young boy rose to learn the martial art of the Flying Circle. Day and night he practiced. He became...the Yo Yo Samurai...
Tiger Poet This made me laugh,thank you.
Beynes Yalayay most welcome
***** :)
yeeeees
I like how positive he is with all the downward roads he faced. He managed to stay on ground and keep up with his passion to achieve his goal.
Great job!
The things a dedicated and passionate person can accomplish are UNLIMITED. AMAZING!!!

I like how TED is becoming the new History Channel...
Tanner Curry this was in 2013.
Watch the yoyo and listen to the beat during the drop and catch thing. It's so on point.
Ahh best episode ever, no flashback, no bs.
this man could fight using that yoyo

Fatima Reyes what tribes exactly
This guy is amazing at his art,.. speed hands and fine control, incredible..
My days of yo yo years ago were local Hawaii contests featuring Barney Ross and Duncan yo-yo-s amazing how much it has changed....fantastic talent...
this man made me play yoyo for some time now and i rewatched this video now and still, it was epic
The pure skill and dedication of Asian people, this is how cool they'd all be if their parents let them do what they wanted in life
Max Irwin exactly
Well Asians also know following your passion leads to a life of poverty.
Late reply but there is a dark side to Japan. They have a high suicide rate and are usually overworked :/ it's really depressing.. A lot of what's real in Japan is sugarcoated and romantasized.
Actually, if they let them, they wouldn't be this cool anymore 😂
What a humble and passionate guy! I wish you health and wealth and success at every step you take! Reminds me of Blazing Teens!
"Tears of joy"
umer adrees oh yea i used to watch every single day good memories :(
It was truly beautiful💕 he's a great yo-yo master
after 7 years, this vids get reccommended
Yoyo man levels:

Medium

You should add one more level:
A Japanese with passion.
Add the highest level,Passion Of Becoming Anime MC.
I'll add one GOD level...!!!!
My master laugh when I told my weapon of choice is a yoyo
Then this:
Master: *Surprised Pikachu Face*
I got into yoyo 3 days ago and been practicing everyday, then this video got recommended to me, must be a sign.
I can imagine that the life of a yo-yo expert must have its ups and downs.
Nice
Did I just witness a Yo-yo Samurai in action?
This is amazing. It's rare to see a person with so much passion and it reflects it on not just his performance but also in his eyes.
As an artist myself. I am at the stage where I start to doubt myself if I could make a living on my drawings alone.
Watching this, made me learn something. If this guy gets to go places just because of his yoyo, then why can't I do the same with my arts.
peace bro
Depends if your art sucks or not

That was so astoundingly talented. So DAMN SKILLED
Yo-yo is love
Yo-yo is life
OH MY GOD! I'm ON TEARS! this video reminds me of the first day of my yoyo, a wooden yoyo. this video reminds me of the day that I train with my friends.. some of them were passed away. and this video reminds me of the people that disrespected me for not playing football. just because I choose yoyo.
The biggest regret in my life, I choose to listen to people to not playing yoyo. what a mistake. I really miss this vibe.
That was BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you. Brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my heart...
because of him and many others i am starting to practice the yo-yo
I'm watching this and thinking...what a great weapon :p Incredible control!
