UPDATE: EP29 is still slated to release on the 30th. Progress is steady and good. A big update is also up on Patreon in regards to future video releases. It is not pay-walled so you can check it if you really want for some reason. EDIT: If you didn't see it on Twitter or Patreon, I am unfortunately delaying the episode 'til the 9th because quality control has revealed some stuff I really want to fix before uploading it. Sorry, hope you understand.
The old Vox-Hailer followed the tradition and became a grotesque husk and died when a child that refused to follow it managed not only to beat him up even if he was gravely injured but to work for the Emperor himself, become Rogal Dorn's protégée and have a better life for himself and his family
@Aspiring Bod Boy's legs might not actually be grotesquely bloated; the old voxcaster is just unused to seeing legs that aren't completely shrivelled and wasting away.
Let's not forget that he died under the thought that he was a Heretic since he technically held the Boy as a hostage and that the boy was telling the truth all along.
"Did you ever hear about the Chapter Master's first kill initiate?" the sergeant asked the nervous scout who grasped his gun tightly as the transport ripped through the air. "No sir, but I did hear he did it while mute?" the scout looked watched as his comrades professionally checked their guns and sat stoically like the millions of proud statues he had seen across the Imperium. He would be lying that even after all the training and implants, he still felt something unpleasant in his stomach. The others just assured him it was natural for anyone's first real combat mission. "I hear that prior to joining the chapter, he was chosen bearer of a sacred vox-hailer. Young thing back then, but strong. Strong enough to attract the attention of the Emperor himself so I hear. One day however, he went missing, gone from his sacred posting. The Emperor's own Custodes were sent to find him until one found him, bleeding and crippled on the ground, yet still having slain what was thought to be a kidnapper. No doubt some cultist who sought his blood and body and spirit for depraved heretical ends." "So he defeated a kidnapping cultist as a child?" "Aye, bloated old man with noxious machinery and a twisted mind and some hideous chest mutations. Even after weathering a sonic barrage from another cultist of Slaaneshi probably without protection, he swung his blessed instrument and ended the heretic's pathetic life with a swift kick straight through his horrid body!" The rookie scout could only imagine how epic the fight must have been given how impressive the Chapter Master was. Even at such a young age, before becoming an Astartes. He didn't say it, but it was equal parts inspirational and a little humbling. "ATTENTION, BROTHERS!" the Chapter Master's scarred face and covered eye appeared on the vid-screens in the transports, "THESE ORKS BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO RULE THIS PLANET FROM FORCE OF ARMS. THEY ARE WRONG. FORCE OF ARMS ALONE IS AN INEFFICIENT METHOD OF GOVERNANCE. THEY WILL FALL TO OUR FORCES AND WE SHALL EXTERMINATE THEM FROM THIS WORLD. WITH THE EMPEROR'S BLESSINGS AND EACH OF YOUR ABILITIES, WE SHALL BE VICTORIOUS. WE ARE THE SONS OF DORN! WE KNOW NOT FEAR! WE KNOW NOT COWARDICE! WE KNOW NOT DEFEAT!" The Chapter Master turned off the vid-screen and prepared to drop with the First Company. As the flyers landed and the ramp dropped, wild gunfire flooded into the compartment, bouncing harmlessly off his magnificent armor. He knew the stories the recruits and the other soldiers told about him and his past. It was one of the few things that got him to chuckle. Around his neck was a shard, a piece of that old vox-hailer he carried in the presences of the Emperor himself and Lord Adornable, fashioned into a grasping fist on a golden pendant. A reward for a life time of service. "IMPERIAL FISTS!" he roared as the marines charged towards the fortifications, "FORWARD! TO VICTORY!" Edit: Holy shit I have gotten the blessing of Lord Alfa himself :O Edit 2: HOLY SHIT THANKS FOR THE LIKES AND KIND WORDS!! Edit 3: Good holy Emperor the response from y'all is incredible!

@Mialisus for the same reason you find them anywhere else: to cause strife and weaken the local planetary defenses to make it easier for the main fleet too nom them when they arrive
No Ian Watson boys refer to when the inquisitor with his assassin and squat and whoever else came killed a bunch of people and anyone who new them anD straight up took over their lives to sneak into the imperial palace that’s why he’s scared of it happening to him.
@@robopope7584 He even did it in melee against an enemy he seems to have well and truly hated, who was denying the Emperor's will! How much more wholesome of a murder can you get?
I’m not even kidding, I found that wholesome. In another universe it would be like “how horrible that someone so young would have to do such a thing.” But here it’s like “Yay! He’s gotten his first kill! So proud :) he’s finally standing up for himself!”
@@iambumbo7534 The imperial palace is the size of the continent and the uppermost levels of the palace are built on top of the Himalayas. The Emperor's throne room is on top of everest
The great thing is that his speech impedients dissappeared during that whole speech only to show up at the best time Alfabusa is blessed by the Man-Emperor with memes
One of my favorite parts of this is that you can see the confidence that Boy is slowly building from being in his Emperor's presence. When people who have been through shit like he has remember things, they often have their affectation change, as well as their word choice. By remembering his time with the Emperor, he gained the ability to stand up to his overseer, and acted confident in the face of his certain death. Confidence that could kill, as we've seen.
I can just see it now Boy answers one of Emps' questions Eloquently and Karstodes replies "Erudite little snot aren't you, although not entirely incorrect" love their relationship and how Boy develops because of it
It really reminded me of when Decius started describing why the Emperor was great despite not being a God. I don't think it's a coincidence that Boy became more articulate when he started to describe the Emperor's chambers.
@@odstmurphy8224 singularly speaking yeah, Dante's the single greatest of the Hawkboy's kids, but the greatest concentration of them's the Lamenters, and I honestly hope that when the short's released next month, Alfa goes for the Nuclear option of if things are bleak even by their standards, the Sanguinor shows up to unleash one helluva asskicking
Can the guard have him? We need someone with a massive pair of balls. We also need more men... My firing squad uh... misses a lot and uh... sometimes accidentally shoots more than the cowards... BUT IT WAS CLEARLY THE EMPEROR’S WILL THAT THEY DIED!
Kitten's meeting. "Oh, hello again son. I'm sorry I completely forgot to tell the kitchen to leave the dregs of the Emperors liquefied half eaten sandwiches out for you and your gang. So what have you scamps been doing while I was away?"
Did anyone notice boy started speaking really well after he said he enters the big gate? Did... Did the Emperor just give him a charisma boost like he did with Pope Hat?
No, this is a side effect of coming into contact and reading the text of the tome that shan't be named. It is also the only positive side effect of said tome. Followed by many, many, many negatives.
At least boy got a bionic eye. But given his luck Helbrecht's cup shard is still lodged in his skull. ...much like Dorn's aquila in the Emperor's eye socket
Terminators each carry a shard of the Emperor's armour inside the Crux Terminatus upon their pauldron. Boy carries a shard of the emperor's teacup inside his eye socket.
Can we appreciate that this video confirms that: -Boy had alot of friends who died (just those 40k things). -Skavens are maybe a thing (especialy combined with the ''Great Horned Rat Day RETURNS'' comming this december. -That there is still ongoing battles concerning taco tuesday/thurday/friday on Terra. The schism can probably be compared to the Horus Heresy at this time. -Something about Orks on Terra. -Sanctified Silvered Tape still exist (but not pesticides). -While we all hate Inquisitor Draco, that book helped Boy achieve better vocabulary. -Boy first steps as a Space Marine: Musk-les and First kill. Lord Dornable would be proud. I love those Vox-Logs. Thank you for all of this Bruva and all hail the Manly Man-peror of Mankind!
-The orks are from Emps eating them to hallucinate Sanguinius, and probably from captured specimens for blood games. -Tacos can be consumed on any day when you need them. They are a good food, even if I prefer burritos for less mess. -Rat-people are likely mutants from the Emperor's canals, and unlike in Fantasy they're probably nice people. -Pesticides fell to the wayside when mass flamethrower extermination became popular, but we always need duct tape. -Boy will be Chapter Master of the Imperial Fists, perhaps Legion Commander if Emps has his way. His name will still be Boy, the moniker he received from the Emperor himself.
@@WhiteManOnCampus Werent the rat people just pilgrims who got lost and are now living in the sewers feeding on much and stuff? I mean the custodes during his usual cleaning did mention them. Also what better a wall-name than one given by the holy father himself.
@@pacman10182 obviously their fingers are too broken to type because they were appeasing the machine spirit of the computer by pressing the power button in the imperial manner.
It's kinda funny how boy was the only to try and engage in melee, but the two older people chose to use a ranged weapon instead of engaging in glorious melee.
Boy used to puke at the thought of offending someone, but now he's showing his purple prose chops and standing up to his persecutors. Hell, one of his foremost persecutors saved him and then complimented his efforts at self-defense. Boy is now my favorite character in all of TTS, and I hope that he gets some top-notch augmetic ears. ..."ATTENTION, CITIZEN--DIE" is the most succinct summary of the Arbites that I've ever seen. Well done.
Yeah, and there was also the part where he was speaking coherently and without any errors. Its great to see his character development. And also some more of Karstodes development as a character, as he has grown to appreciate Boy and look out for him.
@@Chris-zi9hf I now have an urge to get a scout model, add some custodies flar, and add a Militarum vox to the back. that would actually be a sick model.
@@Furzkampfbomber He is the Emperors chosen vox-caster, He must have seen something special in the boy. Even the Emperors presence can make the boy develop faster than most humans.
Boy knows, hell the Custodies are basically older cousins to him. I'd say the best case scenario for boy, is he gets the gene seed of Dorn, but also gets a combination of the Emperors. Including a mixture of the modifications and genetic modification for Space Marines and Custodies. Basically, half son of the Emperor and Dorn. But Dorn has full custody, and belongs to the Fists. But has an open invitation to take his place as a caretaker, from Eggplant.
I was listening to this while I was driving ,legit got shivers down the back of my neck when boy started his exposition on his morning commute to the throne room. Just suburb writing and voice acting all around.
@@jawllypop1750 one he's kind of not actually being horrible too shockingly... actually wouldn't he be emps first honorary grandchild due to dorn kinda adopting him?
You were at 68. So I had to fix it. Edit: HERSEY!!!! YOU PEOPLE!!! YOU SCUM CHANGED THE HOLY NUMBER OF 69?!!! FOR SUCH TRANSGRESSIONS, YOU CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO LIVE!! DIE HERETIC!!!
Everyone is saying Dorne should have been the one to come and pick up Boy when he was late, but lets be honest with ourselves. There. Would. Be. No. Survivors. He would see his future adopted Space Marine son bleeding out after a attempted murder. After making sure Boy was safe, he would go full Black Templar Angry Marine and level the place, killing all inside, then build something over it with EXTRA fortifications. AND if any did survive at first would be buried alive in concrete for said fortifications.
Its pretty crazy that the TTS series has morphed from mostly self contained joke episodes into full blown sprawling adventures. I was blown away by the last ep
Still waiting for the episode where an ambassador from the Tau Empire visits the Emperor. If they can get they Heretic from the last church an episode, Why not a Xeno's?
Did anyone else notice that when Boy was describing the inside of the Palace, his lisp basically disappeared? He sounded like a small child, reading a story in awe of the words. Lowkey very emotional and probably the best character arc. Go, Boy.
Was almost expecting Dorn to show up, but the timely arrival of Karstodes just made this all even better. First his newfound respect for Kitten, and now saving Boy? My oh my, he's in league to become my favorite Fabulous Custodes! I mean Waamudes and Custodisi are still amazing in their own right, and Waamudes maybe slightly more so, but goddamn these three are just too good for this world.
I think his personality shift is more apparent. He is not just going to be nicer to Kitten. He seems more tolerant of Boy, and the "Pfft shut up boy" seemed more amused and kind hearted than his earlier bullying before his revelation.
DwarfyDoodad Also, in the Podcast with the Black Templars it seemed like Karstodes was the only one who was anti- "kill all normals" unlike Whammudes and Esidices who either shouted their hatred of normals, was totally ok with boy dying from Not-Sigismund, or offhandedly mention exterminatus-ing planets for 'dumb opinions'. All of which Karstodes is against (he tries defending Boy in that episode) or indiffetent to (with no replies)
It just occurred to me that the BIG STAIR that boy refers to in front of the palace are Custode/Space Marine sized stairs. And Boy has to scale those stairs (basically meant for giants) Every Single Day. *Rocky Music Intensifies*
The Palace is built on top of what's left of the Himalayan Mountains. That's really fucking impressive. Boy is going to look like a Speess Mareen without any augmentations.
Not to mention all the crazy shit he says he goes through just to get to the stairs, and the know-how it'd take to actually navigate to the throne-room unharmed. Granted, considering a huge portion of it is made of solid fucking gold or some other visually analogous material (auramite, brass, etc, heavy shit) and the crushing passage of 40,000 years, the 'mountains' are probably a bit less impressive by now. Still, bear in mind that he is still climbing stairs intended for custodes+, probably a little bigger than that to accomodate primarchs and E himself. Considering how regular humans size up to their superhuman counterparts, he's probably about as tall as a single stair.
@@xXFuzzeeXx by the time boy becomes a teen he will be basically able to just muscle his was thought the crowds and hold his own to a castodies who is using a pinky finger. and he will be having better rations just form his needs so in the end he will survive the terra city.
I did too. And I was saddened and dismayed when it was stated that Boy was to be killed and censored. And I cheered when Boy started kick ass! Both times!!!
This Vox-log subtly shows how *strong* boy is as a character: His daily routine is abhorrent and hellish, despite and because of being a Terran citizen - and yet he survives. He survives through intelligence, creativity and perseverance to carry out a thankless task for (mostly) uncaring masters - not because he will see a reward for his efforts, but because it is his *duty*. And when his duty and his kin are threatened, he is willing to put his life on the line to defend their well-being - knowing his own may well be (and almost was) forfeit. Dorn would be proud.
I think that about covers space marine recruitment standards. Resourcefulness, agility, faith, perception, strength, perseverence and facing down death. And he's got a kill count.
@@yumazster I find them hilarious though it all depends on the author some double down on the grimdark, others try to show heroic aspects & others just make the situation funny.
BORGAR is BORGAR. So long as BORGAR is consumed; Sanguinius will be appeased. I consume *TWO* BORGAR every time i visit my local food dispensary, provided the easing of Nurgle's influence.
I eat burg with spicy sweet sauce, acidified water cylinder slices, coagulated grox milk, and some carb planks on the side. Of course only when I am able to procure a liver for the lord governor, he needs a new one every week.
'What is a fist, without sure footing? What is a punch, without a staunch leg? It is naught but an empty hand. That is what makes an Imperial Fist, brother. Not a quick arm, but certainty in where you stand, and unbreakable will.'
He has been markedly different since his double standard doubled-over and died. Previously, "SHUT UP BOY!" was his rejection of anyone but himself being correct. Now, "Pfft, shut up, Boy" is a saying of endearment, more an encouragement than a rejection because of how Boy has grown. Legit one of the most wholesome things to ever come out of 40k lore, parody or not.
Boy is quite possibly the most precious thing to ever exist in the 40k Universe. ... granted he literally beat someone to death with a grimdark loudspeaker, but hey. 40k will be 40k
@@Toneill029 Funny thing is you probably could not get a better first kill in the eyes of the Imperium than Boy just did. A multi-art (kick and voxcaster) meele kill against an opponent he truly hated and who was denying the emperor's will, while mute and deaf. AND HE GOT RESCUED BY A FUCKING CUSTODES, WHO SAID THE KILL WAS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT. TL;DR: Multi-art meele kill beside a Custodian while mute and deaf against opponent he hated who was denying the Emperor's will. And Boy was a regular child. Also it was self-defense, literally. Yeah I feel like it doesn't get much better.
One of his most hated foes is a powerful Cult on the demon world of Fartham 4, who dare sully the name of the Imperial Legs by claiming that a so called “Divine Lord” founded the Imperial Legs, and that the legion is made of Ratlings who have ascended their sinfully short bodies.
@@captainvalentin8826 A close up shot on his lower leg, in super high res, glistening with light from an unknown source to better define the absurdity of how ripped his leg muscles are? Yeah, I had the same image.
This is some incredible character development. Boy who once wept continuously and was unable to complete words, now stares his degenerate overseer down and rebukes his idiocy flatly. Boy has endured the ridicule and threats of custodes, held fast before the shade of an ancient fallen priest, survived an assault by the Grand Marshall of the Black Templars and kept his soul intact in face of the horrid corruption of thrice by thrice by thrice accursed tome of Ian Watson. Karostodes saved the VoxAssault trooper from Boy not the other way around.
When The Boy was narrating his jurney through the Palace...that was some good writing. I could literally see and feel those places. Background choir was also a dignifying element. In short astonishing work, as always. Besides I'm glad The Boy is back🙂.
I 100% agree with you. This series is so great because it manages to blend grimdark, comedy and pure epicness by the way of awesome writing. Cudos to Alfabusa and his crew!
To be fair the Custodes go in there for the express purpose of picking a fight with all the bullshit that dwells in there. Boy is merely passing through.
Well boy only enters the regular sewers of terra while still assumed horrible it isn’t the emperors person sewer filled with the physic residue of uncountable number of dead psykers
Wait a minute, the sewers contain massive amounts of psychic residue capable of mutating creatures and Boy walks through them on his daily commute. Will Boy gain psychic powers?
Ok, that description of the Imperial Palace is giving me massive chills. How utterly horrific and simultaneously glorious that insane structure is for the rest of the galaxy.
tbf, the throne is just the tip of the iceberg too, below its systems are like the enormous machinery to support the astronomican and its massive choir of astropaths which is capable of beaming its psychic light across the entire galaxy
There's a map of the palace and its associated hive. Sanctum Imperialis covers the entire Taklamakan basin in what is today Xinjiang. The other offices of the palace are spread out over the hive that covers Tibet.
A worthy concept, however the last time Big E influenced a child in a similar manner, Mortarion almost died and Papa Smurf witnessed that child be carbonized from within. Or so go the legends.
After watching this, Boy has basically unrestricted access to the Throne Room. Something the High Lords don't have. He has better access to the Emperor than the High Lords.
The Vox master's ego won't let him realize that his ways and beliefs are stupid So he uses the arbiters to destroy all evidence that leads to revelation
moreso when you realize the fact that these people give him the orders, so they ordered him to go there as the palace requested him, then promptly forgot and now call lies on their own orders
Arier brought up this point, and I personally like it, myself: When Karstodes explained everything, and the Vox Master realized how wrong he was, he willfully bled himself out--or the shock simply led him to bleed out. Indeed, a work of fine collaboration.
kinda understandable because it means boy has been granted the title of auditorii imperator, something very few high lords have been granted despite ten millenia
Silver tape!? What are we eldar? I though that the Emperor had decreed that only gold tape was allowed on Terra's holy soil. Mechanicus and their steel obsession.
@@vincentmuyo Then go back over with the original color to brighten things back up. And don't forget to thin your paints for the nice edge highlights to really make it pop.
The emperor is ok with the holy silver tape because of its strength and its resistance to the taint of chaos like seriously I got some tech priest to cover a titan with it and it went out and kicked daemon ass and not one bit of the taint of chaos was found
During that description of the palace, I assume the Emperor was speaking though him, which says something about just how much willpower boy has to actually be able to call him BIG SKELETON when under his influence.
Wait a moment. When they played Table Top Fantasy and summoned their characters by destroying the book......maybe the Skaven slipped through. Naw. Just a lie myth
Emps, on hearing this: ROGAL. Rogal: Yes, Father? I HAVE RECIEVED REPORTS THAT BOY HAS TO RISK LIFE AND LIMB TO REACH THE THRONEROOM. Rogal: Excuse me? APPARENTLY THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE IMPERIAL PALACE IS FUCKING AWEFUL. Rogal: The infrastucture is subpar? I built it to last until the heat-death of the Universe. WELL WATCH THIS. *22 minutes later* Rogal, with a visible frown and furrowed eyebrows: Improvements... must be made. And I request that Boy live with me for his own safety. SURE.
One. Minute. Later... *BOOM.* Rogal: *walks in.* “the infrastructure has been fortified, and all those within have *become part of it.* “ *edit* : this is one of my most liked comments yet… thank you, everyone.
....Ass-Hailer asks A LOT of questions... He's definitely going to join the Inquisition as an Acolyte of our favorite skull-faced inquisitive Inquisitor Tech-Priest.

If you're ever in the 3rd world somewhere, fire up some old school Michael Jackson, and watch people who don't speak a lick of english somehow know every word to Billy Jean and the whole playlist of Thriller, verbatim. It's the same warp magic.
I like to imagine that Karstodes was bent over holding Boy's hand as they made their way into the sanctum. Even in the 42nd millennium, not even psycoindoctrinated superhumans can escape from paternal instincts.
Yeah, having that huge of a population, theres no way they could keep track of everyone On another note, if 1% of *Holy Terra* was under a genestealer cult, there would be so many of them due to *Holy Terra's* population
@@birb125 I can see that, though I wonder how that would work, considering that the literal Emperor is there, sitting on his throne, figured his overwhelming psychic presence would sort of block out the Hive Mind's influence.

If we are being honest. By imperium higher up standards that overseer of boy is pretty understanding. Like if it was anybody else in the 40k universe they would have heard one thing they didn’t like and killed boy instantly
It would appear the vox-boss neither carried a weapon nor knew how to fight, and so was unable to execute Boy. Instead he chose to keep listening in order to gather sufficient evidence that he could order those capable of it to do so.
The Vox-Boss's death wail also sounded like he was crying. Possibly in pain from having his leg busted open by Boy, but he managed to stay relatively silent once Karstodes entered the room, so... it's possible in his last moments he came to the truly _horrific_ realization of just how wrong he was. The gravity of his error bore on him like the weight of Terra itself; before him was a Custodian in the flesh, affirming bluntly that every word that Boy had said to him was true, that he was about to execute one of the Emperor's personally chosen servants. As with Decius and Azrael (momentarily), an intoxicating haze was suddenly lifted, and he saw everything clear for the first time in his life, only unlike Decius and Azrael, that life was rapidly fading as the blood continued to spill from his leg, and he had not enough time nor energy to vocally repent for his sins. He could only pathetically weep, as his vision began to go dark, and his life flashed by in his final seconds. What else had he done gravely, unforgivably wrong in his time on Terra? How many other innocent true servants of the Emperor had he put to death, how many heretical acts had he committed, how much damage had he caused to the Emperor's vision that would make an _actual_ heretic blush? He had lived his entire life as a cog in a thoroughly corrupt machine masquerading as the Emperor's will, wearing the mere visage of a righteous Imperium that ceased to exist millennia ago, sharing in common with it nothing but a name. And the Emperor, still alive on his throne, has been astutely aware of it *the entire time*... astutely aware of _him_ too. As the last drop of blood seeped from his leg, a single tear shed from his bloated eye, his last thought an earnest plea for forgiveness.
@@Judass_0 Only for his own conscience. And that idiot was self-righteous enough that he needed to have a reason legitimate enough in his own mind in order to do so.
This whole thing is so stupidly hilarious. Also dying at Nostalgia checking out of Boy's canonical speech impediments to describe the journey to the throne, lmao.
I don't think it was the VA "checking out" so much as Boy getting inspired by remembering all the crazy stuff that he sees in the depths of the palace. He just gets "in the zone."
Yeah. He still has the lisp and the difficult pronunciation critical to boy. That nostalgia is still able to still maintain the character during such a verbose description is great.
It was very similar to Decius' speech about Man-Emperor and since people' headcanon about Emperor kinda speaking through him was confirmed... I suppose Emperor just loves helping people with speech impediments to talk clearly about himself. Bloody narcissist.
I was expecting Dorn to be the one to show up at the end. Seeing Boy hurt and becoming.... irritated with their harming of Boy. And displaying that irritation by ripping their spines out and beating them to death with them. Before taking Boy off to be fixed up and return to his duty while praising him for attacking them. But Karstodes showing up was even better just to hear that slight grudging complement was great.
I would love to see Boy just hanging out with the rest of the cast. Dadornable teaching him about conscruction, Magnus helping to unlock his psyker powers, the Custodes helping him grow strong, Kitten teaching him about battle strategy and leadership, and Big Emp informing him of the history of the Imperium, and Boy telling Emps about life as a Normal.
And what about the other primarchs, Leman, Corvus, and Vulkan? In my opinion, Corvus would teach him some poetic skills, such as Flyting, Leman would hone his CQC skills, and Vulkan would teach him to forge with metal.
I think if Emps heard about the daily lives of his citizens, his enragement would reach apocalyptic heights and he’d force himself off the throne in his wrath.
Hearing Breakfast said as "Break of Fast" made me realise the etymology of that word... It's called Breakfast cos your Fast (deliberately starving yourself as a pilgrimage) is being broken as you've eaten something... The More You Know. Mr blob-face says he listens to the Voxcasts constantly and yet he's heretically not paying attention as he would for sure notice Boy is present, along with Boy being permitted to sit upon the knee of Lord Adornable. Speaking of; i expected Dorn to be the one rescuing Boy but it was Karstodes instead. Makes sense as Dorn stays in the throne room to prevent his return becoming public knowledge. This is also why he uses the Adornable pseudonym in the Voxcasts.
@@Tacoguy1000 Dont forget his doubke stamdards died last episode, since then hes been much better at being less of a garbage person, as well as he has had several good moments with Boy like trying to save him and his family from his rampaging brothers in the black templar cast.
I think, given his other statements, he feels it's more important to bathe in the sound of the Emperor's Voice rather than hear what it is saying; interpretation of the Imperial religion is the Eclesiarchy's business anyhow.
Where as once "Shut up, Boy." was said in contemp, now it is spoken in jest, in comradery. You've come far, you both have... TLDR: CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT! WOOOOOOOOOOO!
That was Fresh?! Holy toledo, usually you can tell when fresh is doing a part, like Kars-todes , but he did an excellent job of bringing this character to life as its own entity i didnt even notice!! God i love the cast work for this show, Alfa and the gang have such vision and insight into what makes a good story and consistently bring excellent performances of minor characters into the spotlight . wonderful, just wonderful
I like how they edited it so he starts speaking faster than he would normally if he was breathing in, cutting himself off with his own speakers. It's a small detail but it's an appreciated one. Little details make the atmosphere, y-know?
The vox hailer hits seemed to be aimed at the chest so it seems like this guy broke this man's leg, in ONE kick, enough to cause him to bleed out and die in the span of a minute or so. Even if the guy he killed is weakened due to his idiot lifestyle, for a kid that is INCREDIBLY impressive. That death rate would mean he freaking severed a major artery in the guy's thigh. Again, in one kick. Vox hailer swings might have softened him up but damn. Nice going Boy.
I mean to be fair he's probably been doing ALOT of walking.... cause well the imperial palace is huge....also he would probably need to eat alot of food to be able actually sustain that now that I think about...lots of corpse dust sandwiches..or rat dust
@@jacthing1 Yeah that's a good point, what? He seemed underfed in the story but there's no way he could sustain that on civilian rations. Either Dorn's doing a good job feeding him or that kid is stealing food from elsewhere. Probably the former.
Hey, he gets to see the closest thing to the throne of god the imperium gets to offer. and get screamed at by said god, and cared for by the literal guardian angels of his religion, and watched over by the closest thing to the son of god he can get. this kid has it great at work.
Jesus Christ, I actually got really concerned and sad that the boy might actually die. I thought "He wouldn't. Not in this kind subplot. I already know how it goes", but then I thought "I would not put him dying past a story set in the Warhammer 40k universe" This was really good. And satisfying. Always good to see our boy Karstodes become more wholesome / a better person.
Can we all just admire the fact that Boy just dropped one of the harshest burns yet in the entire TTS series in this? "This is what I get for rejecting your lacking creed!" Dude just literally threw an entire sect of the Administratum in the dumpster because he never skips leg day What a fucking CHAMPION
Can we take a moment to appreciate how Boy, when severely injured while defending himself, finally gets saved and his saviour tells him he is taking Boy somewhere safe. His first thought is not "Good" or "Thank you" but "My family?" Boy is to pure for this universe.
Boy didn’t hear him because the sonic blast deafened him. Still, his primary concern being about his duty and his family really speaks to his character.

Will you ever be revisiting the Vox Cast episodes? Because after the last book review on there I really need more.
*YeeeEEEEEeeeEeEeEeEeEEEeeSSSsssSssssSSSS*
That old Vox-Hailer is everything that's wrong with the Imperium.
Boy is the reason there's still hope for the Imperium.
The old Vox-Hailer followed the tradition and became a grotesque husk and died when a child that refused to follow it managed not only to beat him up even if he was gravely injured but to work for the Emperor himself, become Rogal Dorn's protégée and have a better life for himself and his family
Like an old saying “Out with the old in with the new!”
Asshailer looking inwards at himself gives me some hope too. Such a lad, really, even if his job happened to run against that of the Emprah's chosen.
@Aspiring Bod Boy's legs might not actually be grotesquely bloated; the old voxcaster is just unused to seeing legs that aren't completely shrivelled and wasting away.
Let's not forget that he died under the thought that he was a Heretic since he technically held the Boy as a hostage and that the boy was telling the truth all along.
"Did you ever hear about the Chapter Master's first kill initiate?" the sergeant asked the nervous scout who grasped his gun tightly as the transport ripped through the air.
"No sir, but I did hear he did it while mute?" the scout looked watched as his comrades professionally checked their guns and sat stoically like the millions of proud statues he had seen across the Imperium. He would be lying that even after all the training and implants, he still felt something unpleasant in his stomach. The others just assured him it was natural for anyone's first real combat mission.
"I hear that prior to joining the chapter, he was chosen bearer of a sacred vox-hailer. Young thing back then, but strong. Strong enough to attract the attention of the Emperor himself so I hear. One day however, he went missing, gone from his sacred posting. The Emperor's own Custodes were sent to find him until one found him, bleeding and crippled on the ground, yet still having slain what was thought to be a kidnapper. No doubt some cultist who sought his blood and body and spirit for depraved heretical ends."
"So he defeated a kidnapping cultist as a child?"
"Aye, bloated old man with noxious machinery and a twisted mind and some hideous chest mutations. Even after weathering a sonic barrage from another cultist of Slaaneshi probably without protection, he swung his blessed instrument and ended the heretic's pathetic life with a swift kick straight through his horrid body!"
The rookie scout could only imagine how epic the fight must have been given how impressive the Chapter Master was. Even at such a young age, before becoming an Astartes. He didn't say it, but it was equal parts inspirational and a little humbling.
"ATTENTION, BROTHERS!" the Chapter Master's scarred face and covered eye appeared on the vid-screens in the transports, "THESE ORKS BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO RULE THIS PLANET FROM FORCE OF ARMS. THEY ARE WRONG. FORCE OF ARMS ALONE IS AN INEFFICIENT METHOD OF GOVERNANCE. THEY WILL FALL TO OUR FORCES AND WE SHALL EXTERMINATE THEM FROM THIS WORLD. WITH THE EMPEROR'S BLESSINGS AND EACH OF YOUR ABILITIES, WE SHALL BE VICTORIOUS. WE ARE THE SONS OF DORN! WE KNOW NOT FEAR! WE KNOW NOT COWARDICE! WE KNOW NOT DEFEAT!"
The Chapter Master turned off the vid-screen and prepared to drop with the First Company. As the flyers landed and the ramp dropped, wild gunfire flooded into the compartment, bouncing harmlessly off his magnificent armor. He knew the stories the recruits and the other soldiers told about him and his past. It was one of the few things that got him to chuckle. Around his neck was a shard, a piece of that old vox-hailer he carried in the presences of the Emperor himself and Lord Adornable, fashioned into a grasping fist on a golden pendant. A reward for a life time of service.
"IMPERIAL FISTS!" he roared as the marines charged towards the fortifications, "FORWARD! TO VICTORY!"

No Ian Watson boys refer to when the inquisitor with his assassin and squat and whoever else came killed a bunch of people and anyone who new them anD straight up took over their lives to sneak into the imperial palace that’s why he’s scared of it happening to him.

One of my favorite parts of this is that you can see the confidence that Boy is slowly building from being in his Emperor's presence. When people who have been through shit like he has remember things, they often have their affectation change, as well as their word choice. By remembering his time with the Emperor, he gained the ability to stand up to his overseer, and acted confident in the face of his certain death. Confidence that could kill, as we've seen.

-The orks are from Emps eating them to hallucinate Sanguinius, and probably from captured specimens for blood games.
-Tacos can be consumed on any day when you need them. They are a good food, even if I prefer burritos for less mess.
-Rat-people are likely mutants from the Emperor's canals, and unlike in Fantasy they're probably nice people.
-Pesticides fell to the wayside when mass flamethrower extermination became popular, but we always need duct tape.

Everyone is saying Dorne should have been the one to come and pick up Boy when he was late, but lets be honest with ourselves. There. Would. Be. No. Survivors. He would see his future adopted Space Marine son bleeding out after a attempted murder. After making sure Boy was safe, he would go full Black Templar Angry Marine and level the place, killing all inside, then build something over it with EXTRA fortifications. AND if any did survive at first would be buried alive in concrete for said fortifications.

Was almost expecting Dorn to show up, but the timely arrival of Karstodes just made this all even better. First his newfound respect for Kitten, and now saving Boy? My oh my, he's in league to become my favorite Fabulous Custodes!
I mean Waamudes and Custodisi are still amazing in their own right, and Waamudes maybe slightly more so, but goddamn these three are just too good for this world.

Brother Santodes is clearly the most fabulous of the fabulous custodes crew tho-they ALL want to become like him when they get f***ing murdered.
Karstodes has always been custodes with the most personality
I think his personality shift is more apparent. He is not just going to be nicer to Kitten. He seems more tolerant of Boy, and the "Pfft shut up boy" seemed more amused and kind hearted than his earlier bullying before his revelation.
DwarfyDoodad Also, in the Podcast with the Black Templars it seemed like Karstodes was the only one who was anti- "kill all normals" unlike Whammudes and Esidices who either shouted their hatred of normals, was totally ok with boy dying from Not-Sigismund, or offhandedly mention exterminatus-ing planets for 'dumb opinions'. All of which Karstodes is against (he tries defending Boy in that episode) or indiffetent to (with no replies)
It just occurred to me that the BIG STAIR that boy refers to in front of the palace are Custode/Space Marine sized stairs. And Boy has to scale those stairs (basically meant for giants) Every Single Day.
*Rocky Music Intensifies*
And he’s basically climbing MT EVEREST.
ohne dich
The Palace is built on top of what's left of the Himalayan Mountains. That's really fucking impressive. Boy is going to look like a Speess Mareen without any augmentations.
Not to mention all the crazy shit he says he goes through just to get to the stairs, and the know-how it'd take to actually navigate to the throne-room unharmed.
Granted, considering a huge portion of it is made of solid fucking gold or some other visually analogous material (auramite, brass, etc, heavy shit) and the crushing passage of 40,000 years, the 'mountains' are probably a bit less impressive by now.
Still, bear in mind that he is still climbing stairs intended for custodes+, probably a little bigger than that to accomodate primarchs and E himself. Considering how regular humans size up to their superhuman counterparts, he's probably about as tall as a single stair.
@@xXFuzzeeXx by the time boy becomes a teen he will be basically able to just muscle his was thought the crowds and hold his own to a castodies who is using a pinky finger. and he will be having better rations just form his needs so in the end he will survive the terra city.

This Vox-log subtly shows how *strong* boy is as a character: His daily routine is abhorrent and hellish, despite and because of being a Terran citizen - and yet he survives. He survives through intelligence, creativity and perseverance to carry out a thankless task for (mostly) uncaring masters - not because he will see a reward for his efforts, but because it is his *duty*. And when his duty and his kin are threatened, he is willing to put his life on the line to defend their well-being - knowing his own may well be (and almost was) forfeit.

He RIGHTEOUSLY beat someone to death.
I dunno, that's pretty precious.

All hail Legion Commander Boy, AND HIS legs.
One of his most hated foes is a powerful Cult on the demon world of Fartham 4, who dare sully the name of the Imperial Legs by claiming that a so called “Divine Lord” founded the Imperial Legs, and that the legion is made of Ratlings who have ascended their sinfully short bodies.

Boy character development is one of the best in any animated series. Period.
TTS is best anime
@Anzu Wyliei You lack imagination.
Yes
@Anzu Wyliei
Lord Dornable, I wasn't aware that you had multiple accounts
@Anzu Wyliei Hush Dorn. Eat your snacks!
This is some incredible character development. Boy who once wept continuously and was unable to complete words, now stares his degenerate overseer down and rebukes his idiocy flatly.
Boy has endured the ridicule and threats of custodes, held fast before the shade of an ancient fallen priest, survived an assault by the Grand Marshall of the Black Templars and kept his soul intact in face of the horrid corruption of thrice by thrice by thrice accursed tome of Ian Watson. Karostodes saved the VoxAssault trooper from Boy not the other way around.
When The Boy was narrating his jurney through the Palace...that was some good writing. I could literally see and feel those places. Background choir was also a dignifying element.
In short astonishing work, as always. Besides I'm glad The Boy is back🙂.
The choir really sells it.
BTW, what is the name of the track anyway? I have searched everywhere but I haven't been able to find it anywhere.
The purple prose was on point, and Boy was in the zone. It was badass.
All of it, for the best climax.
WHEREIN BIG SKELETON SITS.
I 100% agree with you.
This series is so great because it manages to blend grimdark, comedy and pure epicness by the way of awesome writing.
Cudos to Alfabusa and his crew!

I like that everything turns golden as boy is on his rant.
And the choir music, he is blessed.

Well boy only enters the regular sewers of terra while still assumed horrible it isn’t the emperors person sewer filled with the physic residue of uncountable number of dead psykers
The boy is a Chad!!!
Wait a minute, the sewers contain massive amounts of psychic residue capable of mutating creatures and Boy walks through them on his daily commute. Will Boy gain psychic powers?
Ok, that description of the Imperial Palace is giving me massive chills. How utterly horrific and simultaneously glorious that insane structure is for the rest of the galaxy.
tbf, the throne is just the tip of the iceberg too, below its systems are like the enormous machinery to support the astronomican and its massive choir of astropaths which is capable of beaming its psychic light across the entire galaxy
There's a map of the palace and its associated hive. Sanctum Imperialis covers the entire Taklamakan basin in what is today Xinjiang. The other offices of the palace are spread out over the hive that covers Tibet.
I really like how Boy's verbose and vernacular capacities improve as he talks about the Emperor region.
Perhaps the only benefit Ian Watson noval may ever do, enrich Boy vocabulary
We do not talk about that book, brother. There is no Inquisitor book, there are no Star Wars sequels and there is no Queen of England.

Vox-master: lies, blasphemy.
Me: How dare he reject the word of the Emperor's hailer. Costodes!!
Something something Emperor's Word.
The Vox master's ego won't let him realize that his ways and beliefs are stupid
So he uses the arbiters to destroy all evidence that leads to revelation
moreso when you realize the fact that these people give him the orders, so they ordered him to go there as the palace requested him, then promptly forgot and now call lies on their own orders
Arier brought up this point, and I personally like it, myself:
When Karstodes explained everything, and the Vox Master realized how wrong he was, he willfully bled himself out--or the shock simply led him to bleed out.
Indeed, a work of fine collaboration.
kinda understandable because it means boy has been granted the title of auditorii imperator, something very few high lords have been granted despite ten millenia

Praising of Emperor-associated things does that to you apparently...

If we are being honest. By imperium higher up standards that overseer of boy is pretty understanding. Like if it was anybody else in the 40k universe they would have heard one thing they didn’t like and killed boy instantly
It would appear the vox-boss neither carried a weapon nor knew how to fight, and so was unable to execute Boy. Instead he chose to keep listening in order to gather sufficient evidence that he could order those capable of it to do so.
Spood Beest you gotta think though, does a higher up really need evidence to kill boy though?
The Vox-Boss's death wail also sounded like he was crying. Possibly in pain from having his leg busted open by Boy, but he managed to stay relatively silent once Karstodes entered the room, so... it's possible in his last moments he came to the truly _horrific_ realization of just how wrong he was. The gravity of his error bore on him like the weight of Terra itself; before him was a Custodian in the flesh, affirming bluntly that every word that Boy had said to him was true, that he was about to execute one of the Emperor's personally chosen servants.
As with Decius and Azrael (momentarily), an intoxicating haze was suddenly lifted, and he saw everything clear for the first time in his life, only unlike Decius and Azrael, that life was rapidly fading as the blood continued to spill from his leg, and he had not enough time nor energy to vocally repent for his sins. He could only pathetically weep, as his vision began to go dark, and his life flashed by in his final seconds. What else had he done gravely, unforgivably wrong in his time on Terra? How many other innocent true servants of the Emperor had he put to death, how many heretical acts had he committed, how much damage had he caused to the Emperor's vision that would make an _actual_ heretic blush? He had lived his entire life as a cog in a thoroughly corrupt machine masquerading as the Emperor's will, wearing the mere visage of a righteous Imperium that ceased to exist millennia ago, sharing in common with it nothing but a name. And the Emperor, still alive on his throne, has been astutely aware of it *the entire time*... astutely aware of _him_ too.
As the last drop of blood seeped from his leg, a single tear shed from his bloated eye, his last thought an earnest plea for forgiveness.
@@Judass_0 Only for his own conscience. And that idiot was self-righteous enough that he needed to have a reason legitimate enough in his own mind in order to do so.

This whole thing is so stupidly hilarious. Also dying at Nostalgia checking out of Boy's canonical speech impediments to describe the journey to the throne, lmao.
I don't think it was the VA "checking out" so much as Boy getting inspired by remembering all the crazy stuff that he sees in the depths of the palace. He just gets "in the zone."
Yeah. He still has the lisp and the difficult pronunciation critical to boy. That nostalgia is still able to still maintain the character during such a verbose description is great.
It was very similar to Decius' speech about Man-Emperor and since people' headcanon about Emperor kinda speaking through him was confirmed... I suppose Emperor just loves helping people with speech impediments to talk clearly about himself. Bloody narcissist.

I was expecting Dorn to be the one to show up at the end. Seeing Boy hurt and becoming.... irritated with their harming of Boy. And displaying that irritation by ripping their spines out and beating them to death with them. Before taking Boy off to be fixed up and return to his duty while praising him for attacking them.
But Karstodes showing up was even better just to hear that slight grudging complement was great.
pffft "shut up boy" he did sound pleased with BOY, i want boy to help Karstodes learn to read.
I would love to see Boy just hanging out with the rest of the cast. Dadornable teaching him about conscruction, Magnus helping to unlock his psyker powers, the Custodes helping him grow strong, Kitten teaching him about battle strategy and leadership, and Big Emp informing him of the history of the Imperium, and Boy telling Emps about life as a Normal.
Boy is either going to be a Chapter Master or the next Macharius.
Magnus wouldn’t, and the custodies are kept at arms length
@@rear9259 He probably would... Once he sees what boy could do as a psyker.
And what about the other primarchs, Leman, Corvus, and Vulkan? In my opinion, Corvus would teach him some poetic skills, such as Flyting, Leman would hone his CQC skills, and Vulkan would teach him to forge with metal.
I think if Emps heard about the daily lives of his citizens, his enragement would reach apocalyptic heights and he’d force himself off the throne in his wrath.
Hearing Breakfast said as "Break of Fast" made me realise the etymology of that word... It's called Breakfast cos your Fast (deliberately starving yourself as a pilgrimage) is being broken as you've eaten something... The More You Know.
Mr blob-face says he listens to the Voxcasts constantly and yet he's heretically not paying attention as he would for sure notice Boy is present, along with Boy being permitted to sit upon the knee of Lord Adornable.
Speaking of; i expected Dorn to be the one rescuing Boy but it was Karstodes instead. Makes sense as Dorn stays in the throne room to prevent his return becoming public knowledge. This is also why he uses the Adornable pseudonym in the Voxcasts.
