Never have a seen an opening to a video game as raw as Zero throwing his tattered cloak to the dusty wind and cutting through hordes of enemies backed by the sunset horizon, all the while THIS BANGER OF A SONG PLAYING.
That single panning frame of Zero tossing his cloak is unforgettable. Remembering the complete hype MMZ2's intro filled me with is almost bringing me to tears. I would find any version of Departure I could (which was sadly difficult at the time) and play it on my MP3 player on repeat.
Okay but Sonic jumping from, a helicopter, and skating down the city, and running from a Giant gun truck, and meeting shadow that’s some awesome shit plus of course the beginning of FF7, especially in the remake that made that go so much more intense feeling, the start of MGSR, too.
One the the things I hate the most is when an arrange album fades out in the middle of a guitar solo like Mythos Departure, so to finally have a satisfying ending to that solo is an absolute godsend
@@catsukisubaru3715I understand the idea, and to a point I agree with you. The image evoked by the music fading out of Zero pushing on into a legion of enemies while slowly leaving us behind is absolutely peak badassery. But I have one counterpoint: I want to hear the rest of the solo, lol
@@gfdx3214The Eurasia colony crash site was basically turned into a desert so the statement itself isn't wrong in general. It just doesn't fit for this specific case.
"Since you disappeared I've been fighting this war alone against an uncountable number of Mavericks for nearly a hundred years... Battle after battle... So painful and so sad... But the hardest part was when I discovered that I no longer cared about fighting enemies... I'll leave this world to you... Please allow me... to rest in peace... for a while... ......... I'm sorry, Zero..." --X Nice work. Your Mega Man covers are always top shelf.
Not at all, but he does do two important things with his life. Achieve both Thomas and Albert's dreams. His death brought together humans and reploids so that peace could be achieved, then the timeline he set the world upon, removes humanity fully from corrupting the mechanical children that they made. Also proves wily was the superior scientist, and that one man's cleverness can overcome even the entire world's backing.
No matter how much he tries to escape it he was made for battle hints the reason he had to sacrifice himself at the end of four he had no place in a peaceful world. 😢
He IS in fact the God of Destruction, even if Zero himself is a good being, his existence brings up the conflict and war, Willy somehow left a curse in the world in his magnum opus.
Zero 2 was my launching point into the world of Mega Man, and I still love it to this day. And that love extends to Departure. The song holds so much meaning to it, for Zero himself, the series as a whole, and to me personally. There is no bad version of the song, be it the GBA original, the remix from the drama tracks, the Reploid Remix from the Legacy Collection, or even fan remixes like this one. Rock on, Gametal!
Dude, I just finished my Zero 3 A-Rank playthrough yesterday. The Zero series has become my favorite 2d Platformers ever, and that’s a pretty darn good bar after the titles I’ve gone through. This stage is probably the best way to throw a player into the game. Quick recap, awesome song, a broken down pause menu from the previous game, no tutorial, just straight into the game full blast.
@@lorenzo689 Which game? Zero 1 and Zero 2 were rough on me, but Zero 3 lines up everything to just feel smooth as butter. Satellite Elf system was probably the key factor as it gives you bonuses without killing your rank (old Elf system are the Fusion Elves, do NOT touch!). You can get an Elf that adds HP, then another Elf that doubles that HP, and now you'll have a MUCH easier time. Find the 2 Natural Sub-Tanks on top of that, and death won't be an issue at all. What IS an issue is that taking too much damage affects rank. Mind you, I *had to* reset stages that I had completed multiple times just for the A rank lol, but the EX Skills are well worth it.
@@littleguystar z3, since then i replayed the game and im now by the 2nd half of the game! Still think it's harder than the others but im pretty bad, oh and also i didnt risk it with the elfs so i didnt know there were some that dont hurt your rank, messed up in z2 with the elfs so i didnt want to do it again
@@lorenzo689I get what you mean! the water stage in z3 has so many instant death spikes I got so confused why people said this was the most accessible game of the series considering z1 and z2 never got to this bullshit level until nearing the end
This series should continue for one more game like capcom should maybe if they ever made a new x game too, I’d love that, plus J’s, reviews love his mega man vids, and DMC6, in the future i know they can push devil may cry even further man.
When I saw the teaser image at the end of Smithy's theme, I thought 'wouldn't it be neat if he re-did Departure? He doesn't have to but it'd be cool' Dude this is beyond 'neat' or 'cool'. You're amazing at elevating these songs beyond their original forms!
God, the Zero series is probably the most depressing a Mega Man story has ever gotten; _no one_ is allowed to be happy in that world. And for being on the GBA and all the limitations that come with that, I'm still surprised at how much those little games make me feel. Great story, awesome music. And you absolutely nailed it, as always. The acoustic intro was a fantastic touch, too. And then Neverending Fight at the end, cherry on top. Thanks Jonny ♥
Iirc the Zero series was sort of the outlet of the original scrapped story of X where something would have led to a battle to the death between X and Zero for one reason or another. However depressing the Zero series is is not even half of what the original plan was.
This cover was perhaps a departure from my expectations, but by no means a departure from Banger Status! With each passing song, my hopes for Faith Is For The Transient People soar ever higher!
@@lemonadogirl4082 the only dilemma I have is that there are like twenty different song I want just as bad: Unlocated Hell, Princess who Slays Dragons, Immemorial Marketeer, Star-Spangled Pierrot, Tiny Shangri-La, Suwa Foughten Field, Chinese Tea, etc.
A cool detail about this intro mission is that zero is always in his”heavy damage”animation that plays because he’s been wandering the desert for a year at this point
Departure is one of the saddest, most emotional but also inspiring and epic songs I've ever seen in any game. The sad part is due to the fact that Zero has not had a moment of peace throughout his entire existence, not even when he was unconscious for years he stopped causing problems, but of course, that was not his fault, but rather that of his creator who did a machine of destruction and nothing more. Imagine if it were you in zero's place? When do you realize that your existence was only possible because of someone's ambition? How would you feel? But even so, not everything is lost, because the inspiring part of this song is precisely about never giving up, and fighting for what you believe in, that's what Zero did, he didn't let his “purpose” influence who he is, and that's why That's what at the end of Megaman zero 3 he says: "I am zero"
I swear, the simple sound of the winds had made me cry, and then the guitars just added the emotion. Departure is with Area Zero's theme, my favorite soundtracks of the Zero Series.
Sometimes I see a new song on this channel and I'm just kinda amazed it hasn't been here before. Great job on one of the best songs in the entire Mega Man series!
The intro to Zero 2 is burned into my mind. After a year of non-stop fighting, alone in the vast wasteland that is the world outside of Neo-Arcadia, a broken Zero throws away his cloak and turns towards his enemies, ready for one final push towards his chosen fate. Departure is the music that best represents the Zero series as a whole. Thank you for doing it justice!
@mewhen65 OOOOH! My B. I was worried there was something else going on. There’s so many internet drama cases going on that it’s got me on edge. I’m glad it’s just a reference.
I waited so long for this, this cover is just perfect!! It perfectly meshes the mood of the original and I am so happy to hear the solo from Mythos followed by your own spin. Would kill to hear more covers of Inti Creates games from here. Azure Striker Gunvolt has some of my all time favorite music and none of it gets remixed online ;; Super underrated series!!
Bless you Kind Sir for covering what perhaps is the greatest theme in Mega Man Zero history. A story of hero that fights no matter how hopeless or bleak things seem, the way of the warrior is to push forward and a dear friend of mine is going through much hardship and struggles everyday. Should he ever read this and anyone else going through miserable times, there is ALWAYS a way. Be the hero of your story or be the hero people need to see you as.
coming back to this after actually playing zero 2 for the first time (and the mega man zero series all around) just makes this hit even harder for me ive slowly become addicted to Departure
I remember seeing the intro to this level has a kid and thinking "I dunno what's going on but this is epic" years later, I've already finished the whole Zero/ZX series and it wasn't epic, it was legendary, I really hope this series get a remake or something, if it weren't for the portable console potency, I'm sure this series could easily go for a goty (Sorry if I wrote something wrong, my English is a bit rusty)
I played this song at my grandpa's funeral. He got out of the coffin, ripped his suit off, and yelled something about taking the fight to Neo Arcadia. He's been missing for 12 hours.
Finally covered Departure and taken some liberties from the Mythos version too. Can't go wrong with that. The cover is excellent. Thanks for doing this!
Before I even listen to this fully, just the other day I was listening to ToxicEternity's cover of Departure and thought to myself, "it'd be AMAZING if Jonny did a cover of this as well". Thank you for summoning my childhood nostalgia, and uh, don't let Dr. Weil hear this, he may take advantage of your prowess. As always, you ROCK!!!! ❤
Man, I absolutely love the zero series, just finished zero 4 a couple months ago, and man these games are amazing! Hoping for Sand Triangle or Esperato as the next zero song!
How badass would it be if we got a 3D Megaman Zero remake in the style of something like Metal Gear Rising or DMC, and the story was rewritten to combine all 4 games into one large narrative (possibly split into 4 arcs to parallel the games)? I'm talking a stylistic, hack and slash combat system with flashy visual effects great sound design, with remixed music like this accompanying it the while way through
My god this is such a great cover! One of the best and iconic opening level stage songs in the series. This song also just reminded me I still need to finish the rest of the Zero/ZX games. I have them in my game bag somewhere. Should probably find them. Finally finished updating my request list (not too many changes but definitely places shifted) Here are my requests: 1. Shooting Star (Megaman Starforce 1-3) 2. The Collision of Thunderstorms (Azure Striker Gunvolt) 3. Battle! Zero Lab (Pokémon Scarlet and Violet) 4. Future Gate/Theme of Hexazeon (Puzzle and Dragons) 5. Bellum Phase 1-3 (The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass) 6. Battle! Frontier Brain (Pokemon Emerald/Platinum) 7. Infinite's Theme (Sonic Forces) 8. Trunks Theme (Dragon Ball FighterZ) 9. Burning Throb/Battle Theme (Trails of Cold Steel IV) 10. Cosmic Clash and Hyperspace Rumble (LunarLux)
YOU handling a remix of Mega Man Zero 2's opening? Oh man, my birthday's still a month away, dude. You can't make me feel spoiled like that. lol This is absolutely phenomenal. Took me back in time to when I first played this game and just thought it was the coolest damn thing in the world. I'll argue this is better than the Remastered tracks from the Idea disc. You incorporated that part perfectly as well. Amazing work as always. So damn sick, dude.
At this rate all the great Mega Man Zero tracks will recieve the GaMetal treatment! Man, I love that you gave this song love, because sure bring memories. *This is fun!* Please do BB Channel from Fate/EXTRA CCC.
So many people overlook the Zero and ZX series soundtracks. I'm just gonna say it - better than Classic Mega Man. And Mega Man X. They have a lot of amazing tracks that people just don't give credit to because of Gameboy and DS bleeps and bloops. People should absolutely check of the dev-made remixed tracks, including Reploid Remix and Physis. The extended tracks for ZX Advent are godlike. I'm glad Atma's giving these games a chance to shine because they are INCREDIBLE.

He added the mythos intro...he actually did it...
OH MY GOD THIS IS JUST THE MYTHOS VERSION I LOVE IT!!!
He LOVES Mythos. His "Cannonball" also has the Mythos solo.
The mythos versions are perfect for his style so it works out tbh
Kudos to you for putting the "This isn't fun anymore" in the clips
I've found my people.
Glad to supply the masses. =)

Zero hid himself while he repaired himself in the desert. Also, great cover.
No, he broke down in the desert and had to be brought to resistance camp to be repaired. He was fighting the war alone in the desert
@@gfdx3214The Eurasia colony crash site was basically turned into a desert so the statement itself isn't wrong in general. It just doesn't fit for this specific case.
It’s also a joke referring to that line in Mega Man X6
What makes you laugh?
Copy X: ...someone find him... AND KILL HIM.
𝐿𝑒𝑡'𝑠 𝑔𝑜...
I love how this song represents very well what resilience is, to keep on fighting until the end when everything is against you
"Since you disappeared I've been fighting this war alone against an uncountable number of Mavericks for nearly a hundred years... Battle after battle... So painful and so sad... But the hardest part was when I discovered that I no longer cared about fighting enemies...
I'll leave this world to you... Please allow me... to rest in peace... for a while... ......... I'm sorry, Zero..."

Nice work. Your Mega Man covers are always top shelf.
MY FAVORITE GAME SERIES GOT ANOTHER COVER LETS GOOOOO!
Give us a whole album PLEASE! Better yet a Whole marathon like the Kirby Songs got!
Zero’s life really doesn’t get any easier for him, does it?
not even as a metal poor guy gets worst treatment.
He's the reason behind the maverick virus
Not at all, but he does do two important things with his life. Achieve both Thomas and Albert's dreams.

One of the best opening songs from any of the Mega Man series. Really captures that “Ahh shit, here we go again” feeling Zero has to be having.

You KILLED IT here Johnny!
I can't even imagine what with Copy Xs boss theme "FAKE"
(Yes, thats my favorite boss them)
I was looking forward to when you'd get to this song. One of my favorite bangers from the Zero series.
In the wise words of zero when he was scared and low on energy...
"*huff* *huff* ... let's dance..."
Easily one of the best tracks in all of Mega Man
I swear, the simple sound of the winds had made me cry, and then the guitars just added the emotion.
Departure is with Area Zero's theme, my favorite soundtracks of the Zero Series.
Love this track. Outright *DESPISE* the stage, but love this track.

Yes! Not only did you do an acoustic version a while back, now this exists!
Easily my most favorite song from any Megaman game!
Departure is such a good BGM for the opening of MMZ2. Clover, the vocal version, is amazing, too!
Fantastic cover!
It's so relaxing yet exciting. Perfect remix for this song, considering this was supposed to be Zero's last stand before almost dying
Finally, peak gets a remix! My favorite intro stage in the entire Mega Man series next to Green Grass Gradation (if that counts).
I just finished this game in Z/ZX LC and hearing and watching this makes me motivated to continue in Zero 3
I played this song at my grandpa's funeral. He got out of the coffin, ripped his suit off, and yelled something about taking the fight to Neo Arcadia. He's been missing for 12 hours.
God. The Red Maverick always had the coolest music in every timeline. Awesome.
My favorite song of the Zero series. I was smiling all the way through. ^^
Don't know if I suggested this one, but I think this was one track I would've loved to see you tackle!
I'm going to cry, the nostalgia hits hard
Best thing to wake up to this morning
EDIT: AHHH GOD THE MYTHOS SOLOS ITS PERFECT
literally crying because you covered my favourite game OST of all time :')
At this time, I will implore any person who doesnt have the Zero collection to make that change.
Incredible work, as always!
The chills man, the chills. This brings so many memories, This tribute to Zero is just absolute!
Fantastic cover! Easily one of my favorite tracks from the entire Mega Man franchise as a whole!
Finally covered Departure and taken some liberties from the Mythos version too. Can't go wrong with that. The cover is excellent. Thanks for doing this!
He even added for the endless battle at the end!!🎉🎉🎉
A DEPARTURE REMIX?
PEAK
THE GOAT
This is such a cool remix
It's always good to see some Zero Series love.
This song has the feeling of "that legend that was once thought to have come to an end has begun again", which is so wonderful!
Thaaaanks, man, this is BEAUTIFUL. I love your MegaMan remixes
Yay, MMZ! I love this track, so it’s great to hear your epic take on it!
I've been obsessing over this song for the last few days. Thank you for giving me a new cover to add to the rotation.
Been watching since I was 15 and this man becomes better with every video istg

Your covers are like a grenade, they hit and KABOUM! Love your music man🤩
MAN!!! THIS IS VERY GOOD! GAMETAL IS DEFINITELY THE GUY WHEN IT'S TIME TO ADAPT THE OSTS!
I love the mythos inspiration. If they didn't put deneuvo on the zero legacy collection id mod this in
Man, I absolutely love the zero series, just finished zero 4 a couple months ago, and man these games are amazing! Hoping for Sand Triangle or Esperato as the next zero song!
Definitely one of the greatest ost in gaming as Always big ups dude.
Great cover! I can feel the desert heat!

Aw hell yeah
Hell yeah def need to hit up more Zero game music in the future Jonny, there is so many certified bangers :) Well done!
This cover is surpassed even the Rockman Zero remastered tracks version!. Thanks a lot for this awesome track!.
Love Departure, one of the best songs in all of Mega Man history! Great work!
At this rate all the great Mega Man Zero tracks will recieve the GaMetal treatment! Man, I love that you gave this song love, because sure bring memories. *This is fun!*
Please do BB Channel from Fate/EXTRA CCC.
I don't know HOW I missed this notification. This is literally my favorite Mega Man song in an entire series full of straight BANGERS.
everytime you make a mega man cover it brightens up my day, great job as always!
finally, my favorite music being GaMetal Remixed!
What a pleasant surprise! Still one of the best openings in gaming history!
LESGOOO!!
Even the lil intro from mythos, I'm dying!!!
this is the single best remix of departure
Yes yes yes yes yes yes! More MegaMan in general
Heres to hoping we get a remake or remaster of cannonball OR what i want more, Sunstar's theme
Oh man, this is so good! The Zero series has some spectacular music.
Skyfall Combo #4!! Enhanced Fire Match!!! Hexazeon's Theme from Puzzle and Dragons!
So many people overlook the Zero and ZX series soundtracks.
I'm just gonna say it - better than Classic Mega Man. And Mega Man X. They have a lot of amazing tracks that people just don't give credit to because of Gameboy and DS bleeps and bloops.
People should absolutely check of the dev-made remixed tracks, including Reploid Remix and Physis. The extended tracks for ZX Advent are godlike.
I'm glad Atma's giving these games a chance to shine because they are INCREDIBLE.
