Boss list: 00:10 Boss 01 Undead Swordswoman & Stone Mask 01:36 Boss 02 Warrior & Plant Roots 02:34 Boss 03 Man-fish & Belly of the beast 03:34 Boss 04 Necromancer & Hellhound 05:23 Boss 05 Axe Armor & The Eye 06:52 Boss 06 Amazons & Mutant 08:28 Boss 07 Armored Warrior & Gal Agiese 09:37 Final Boss - Az Atorse
Interestingly, the Lovecraft naming isn’t limited to just Az Atorse/Azathoth. In the Japanese manual, three other bosses are named-Ithaqua (1), Dagon (3), and Shudde M’Ell (6).
I love how bad the dialogue sets up how intimidating the bosses are, but when you finally get to them, all of them look genuinely disturbing to look at. It's almost poetry.
ACTUAL Gal Agiese Quotes (as directly translated from Japanese): "Damn impertinent human being, receive divine punishment!" "Your fate is settled, you can only die!" "That power, is completely useless when faced against us!" "Such a stubborn man... But this is the end!" "Just think of yourself as lucky for having made it this far!" "You are far too dangerous. Die!" "So, you have finally come. I'll be taking your life now!" (yes, that purple thing that looks like Nyarlathotep is, in fact, Gal Agiese in his demonic form.)
Here's what I think Alpha Denshi should have done when they adjusted "Magician Lord" for English speakers: they should have maintained Gal Agiese speaking in Japanese; and translating his lines through text.
I used to think that was the one before he sent you to fight SCP-939, but that one is corny but actually threatening. "You persistent guy. But your life ends right now." _Sics With Many Voices on you_
The "i'm destined just to die" makes him a very interesting deep self-conscious opponent. Like compared to him Thanos or Killmonger are mustache twirling 2-dimensional villains
4:54 fireballs pass right through the lower half of the wizard. I don't recall the hitboxes in this game being anywhere near that forgiving - I call shenanigans.
@Formosusll Even if the English voice actors mentioned that there were dialogue errors in their script, there is a high probability that the Japanese manager still would not care. You see, unfortunately, most Japanese companies do not value the proper study of English as a language, and thus they do not take English's grammar seriously. This is why in modern day Japan, there are still a majority of misspelled English words and incorrect English grammar still used in Japanese marketing.
Ok can someone explain to me how in "Magician Lord"... You start out as a wizard, turn into a ninja, become a samurai, and then finish the game as a wizard again for the ending?
Some companies just didn't care that much at all. They just wanted to get their thing into arcades or stores quickly so it can start earning them money.

03:34 Boss 04 Necromancer & Hellhound

09:37 Final Boss - Az Atorse
am I the only one that thinks the voice of the main boss (speaking in every cutscene after defeating the area bosses) sounds just like Garfield's?
Az Atorse looks like a testicle with spikes
Why does the hellhound looks like SCP 939
Interestingly, the Lovecraft naming isn’t limited to just Az Atorse/Azathoth. In the Japanese manual, three other bosses are named-Ithaqua (1), Dagon (3), and Shudde M’Ell (6).
Thanks for posting this. That'd be awesome if you post another video of a full playthrough as the standard magician
"Be dead down here! You, persistent Guy!"
Man the dialogue and voice acting is a thing of beauty.
I love how bad the dialogue sets up how intimidating the bosses are, but when you finally get to them, all of them look genuinely disturbing to look at. It's almost poetry.
The Snark is strong with you.
Either this or the guy from Ys 3... they’re in the running for greatest villain for all the wrong reasons
"I am destined to die."
The guy understands his role as a boss pretty well.
ACTUAL Gal Agiese Quotes (as directly translated from Japanese):
"Damn impertinent human being, receive divine punishment!"
"Your fate is settled, you can only die!"
"That power, is completely useless when faced against us!"
"Such a stubborn man... But this is the end!"
"Just think of yourself as lucky for having made it this far!"
"You are far too dangerous. Die!"
"So, you have finally come. I'll be taking your life now!" (yes, that purple thing that looks like Nyarlathotep is, in fact, Gal Agiese in his demonic form.)
What about that last line he says when he takes you to the boss rush?
Here's what I think Alpha Denshi should have done when they adjusted "Magician Lord" for English speakers: they should have maintained Gal Agiese speaking in Japanese; and translating his lines through text.
“You’re very dangerous. Be dead down here.”
How threatening!
All your base are belong to us.
I used to think that was the one before he sent you to fight SCP-939, but that one is corny but actually threatening.
"You persistent guy. But your life ends right now." _Sics With Many Voices on you_
"I'm destined just to die."
Maybe he’s just really depressed.
”Yes, I made a mistake. But the fight is yet to finish.”
This guy knows who he's messing with, and it's too late
how remember when seto kaiba left the cards games and become the MAGICIAN LORD
I love the "All your base..." language in this!
Grorious engrish
I like how his name is Gal Agiese. Sounds like he should be selling used Cadillacs in a sketchy part of New Jersey.
"All Your Base Are Belong To Us?" Man, that takes me back to my Newgrounds days!
That power is powerless
Did the person who wrote the big bad's dialogue also write Magneto's for the X-Men arcade game? "X-Men, welcome to die!"
That guy's voice... is absolutely perfect. Why does it work so well.
The music sounds like something straight out of the early Shin Megami Tensei games.
man, do I love how these villains are so polite that even their verbal threats sounded very apologetic
The "i'm destined just to die" makes him a very interesting deep self-conscious opponent. Like compared to him Thanos or Killmonger are mustache twirling 2-dimensional villains
"I'm destined just to die." Well that's depressing.
8:21 (after scrutinizing his design the whole game play)"why does dude look kinda like a ninja"
8:28 😲
エレメンタルの組み合わせで様々な職業に変身して､赤と緑で忍者､青と緑で侍に変身するんだよ。
"I'm destined just to die"
That's one self-aware Mook.
Finally, i was waiting to see a No-Damage boss rush for this game.
It's hard as fuck and i'd never beat it ; ;
Infinite credits you can do it in an hour or so
Yeah I got lost in the white looking level
I BEAT IT ON ARCADE...WANNA KNOW HOW?.....50 BUCKS...50 FCKING DOLLARS WITH MANY PLAYS AND LIKE 3 OR 4 HOURS OF PLAY.
4:54 fireballs pass right through the lower half of the wizard. I don't recall the hitboxes in this game being anywhere near that forgiving - I call shenanigans.
1:53 Reminds me of Legion from castlevania
The Legion I know is always saying "Profligates like you belong on a cross."
Nick Arcade got me here!
the audio for the first boss is damn menacing especiaLLy on a Surround receiver!
Thanks for posting this..... one hard ass game!
All Bosses Game - Dragon Breed (Arcade) ☺️👍🏻
Why didn't the English-speaking voice actor let the company know that the villain's lines made very little sense?
@Formosusll Even if the English voice actors mentioned that there were dialogue errors in their script, there is a high probability that the Japanese manager still would not care.

@Romàn NauwelaersPersonally, I wouldn't say that nobody cares; I love a good storyline in any game that I play~
4:39 - I see that *With Many Voices* escaped containment...
Top notch quality dialogue in this game.
Beautiful voice acting.
The most popular enemy in all of video games... pulsating organ meat
1:38 hey there, Firebrand...
The coins dropping into the abyss when he kills the bosses 💀💀💀
Wonderfully bizzare bosses
I'm destined just to die. Also, is that suit of armor wearing high heels??
The one with the axe? *Yes.* =__=
草履だよ､外国の人は分からないか。
Cool!
So, what, you never get to fight off-brand Doctor Strange? That's unsatisfying.
I think you do, *but he's transformed.* -__- I know. Anticlimatic.
10/10 voice acting
04:54 one of his projectiles *clearly* hit you...
Ok can someone explain to me how in "Magician Lord"... You start out as a wizard, turn into a ninja, become a samurai, and then finish the game as a wizard again for the ending?
これは､そういうゲームだから､下手な突っ込みはしないほうがいい。
the ninja and samurai are the result of power ups
This is the most bored villian I have ever heard.
Did anyone else die laughing at the cringe dialogue? 😂
Hoping this characters makes it into any snk Game, CvS3?
I think the fish men were also featured on crossed swords
お見事､ラスボスを侍で倒したのは､あなたが初めてです。
There’s something kind of evil about this game
So, the rewards for defeating each boss is...a book? What, is the protagonist a librarian, sent to collect overdue stuff?
Game, TOP.
FACE YOUR TRIAL BY GOD!
That's sucks that you dont fight that guy doing the dialogue 😭
Ghosts 'N Goblins meet Zero Wing
04.54 ... the bullet just pass through his body ...
weird hit box maybe?
Osea, por que axe armor tiene zapatillas, por que de una mago pasa a ser un ninja, y por que después un samurái??
¿Por qué no? xD
このゲームはそういうゲームだよ。
1:47
If I get COVID, I want the doctor to say: “Feel fortunate to have survived until now.” to which I will reply: “I am destined just to die.”
Micro Mage wave peashooter.
I'm destined just to die.
Bad translated video games. The winner is you! :D
AAU-AAAURRRGGGHHH
THE CRINGE AT THE DIALOGUE!!!
THERE'S NO WAY IT'S JUST A TRANSLATION THING!!!
Some companies just didn't care that much at all. They just wanted to get their thing into arcades or stores quickly so it can start earning them money.
5:32 The Kinght shoes look like pumps, maybe he´s a drag Queen ^^
Wow primeiro 😀👍
Parabeinx
the amazon mid boss have a very annoying laugh, don't you agree ?
Oh this broken English....
ピコピコ飽きた。
First commenting.
So?

@@kidray7611 I saying racing for comments for saying first.
REALLY..TO WIN ON THIS GAME..U NEED SIMPLE TO PUT 50 BUCKS!!! ITS HARD AS F!!!
I think that it took me less than $10 worth of quarters to beat this game for the first time; that was back in 1991!
