@@eggburger5978 Who else agrees that halo legends got the best designs halo has ever got, just exclude human looks you know cuz its japan But look at the buildings, elites, armor,spartans, ships, and overall artstyle and landscape this is halo at its prime, why can't people understand
@@neonsolace2748 nah. I can't agree with that. I do not think that this is the best art style ever had. I think the Halo 2 remaster Halo Wars 2 is the best art style the game ever had. Halo works better as grounded gritty realism than cartoon/ anime shit. So I have high hopes for Infinite cause they are going down the Halo Wars 2 route with story and design. Even though people are bitching about a gameplay trailer for a not finished game for not looking perfect, I think they will nail it in the end. It's amazing how people with take a ten minute trailer for a game that is a year away from being finished and take it as the final product and determine just from that if the game is good or bad. Gaming community does this shit everytime. Look how hyped they were for Cyberpunk cause everything looked great and crowned it one of the best games ever before it was even released. Then it comes out and it was awful. How bout we wait til a game comes out and play it for ourselves before determining if games are good or bad. Also people put too much into graphics. I couldn't careless. I've heard people say they can't play the original Halo(non remaster) cause it looks bad. Like what?!? You won't play one of the greatest games ever cause it's not all shiny and pretty. Some of the best games ever made, even when they first released didn't even look great. Cause guess what. Gameplay is what matters. COD games look great, doesn't make them great games. Fallout NV is one of the best RPGs ever made if not one of the greatest games ever and it always looked mediocre graphics wise. All this just makes me realize how childish the gaming community is most of the time.
And for centuries after that the badge of Arbiter would be a mark of shame and heresey, given to those who's failure deserved death but were to valuable to simply execute. Until one day a new Arbiter was chosen and restored the honor to the badge of Arbiter and the Sanghilie as a whole.
Jesus Christ he obviously knows Thel,s name if he’s watching this part of the lore. “Smart boy, smart boy”, stating the obvious most of us know. *not you Blake these jag offs trying to sound like they know all lore.
For anyone confused to the timeline of events, since it's told in media res: - Fal refuses to yield to the Hierarchs, as he sees through their lies. - Sensing retaliation, Fal tries to get Han to leave so she isn't in danger but she flatly refuses. Roh begs him to reconsider but it's clear that Fal has decided to meet them head on. - The Prophets dispatch Haka to kill Han and Roh, thus forcing him to a duel. - Fal kills Haka's bodyguards in the forest, then dispatches the large Covenant army waiting for him. - Fal and Haka have their duel, which claims both lives. - The rank of Arbiter becomes one of shame and bestowed to disgraced elites for a final chance at redemption, thus Halo 2's Arbiter centuries later.
Fal 'Chavmee Killed many Covenant armyon early battle. Then killed Haka Bodyguard in the forest.. Walking long stairs in Forerunner sonstruct to Reach top and two warrior die in each hand. i do not know if i was wrong.
yeah, I remember when I first saw this that I had difficulty understanding what was going on; I even thought that Fal found Han's corpse _after_ slaying the Covenant army.
@@spartanjeremiah2176 Actually, if you recall, Fal's helmet was damaged during the fight with the Covenant army, hence why you can see his face during the duel with Haka. When he fought the bodyguards, his helmet's faceplate was still intact, so the battle with the guards had to have happened before the battle with the army.
whats cool is that you can spot a clip from this in Halo 2 Anniversary's terminals when the heretic is talking about the origins of the current rank of Arbiter.
Back then I thought this was the same arbiter from halo 2 and 3, and thought this took place after halo 3 making a spin off of the covenants return in halo 4 until I saw the halo 2 terminals
Captain Falcon after this moment, was it seen as armor of shame? I remember when arbiter got branded the mark of shame and was offered the armor he didn’t want to accept it because it was important. But the prophets said they would still get their body and that the arbiter was their tool.
@@iP3RFEKTIONoO Yes. Because Fal had rejected _The Great Journey,_ (but more importantly, he wasn't being obedient to the Prophets) & as such, the Arbiter was made into a mark of shame.
@@CaptainCFalcon Also, the title of Arbiter was turned to something similar as Japanese seppuku. Usually for the more accomplished and distinguished Sangheili, such as Thel Vadam, who failed in something in so big a task that it shamed them. The Prophets turned the title of Arbiter to allow these shamed Sangheili to regain whatever honor they could salvage.
9:57 Only a talented warrior would move that coordinated and diligently. His agility and reaction time are most likely highly focused since he did achieve the rank arbiter when it was a noble and just title.
@@foolslayer9416 Yeah, I've definitely seen a metric fuck ton of anime fights that are arguably better. I love Halo, but this being the pinnacle of anime fights is straight up false.
The unfortunate thing is that the human side of things could be just as interesting they focused on stuff from the books.

I like how the portray the Covenant as this Japanese like culture. Also how this was the last arbiter of respect. Before the role of an Arbiter was a role of Shame and that artstyle. Beautiful
I hope they do a Jiralhane story similar to Conan or Spartacus in which a Brute rebels against the Prophets. For the Unggoy, I would love to see a more comical story as well as having emotion to balance out how they were treated, while still being funny.
I cant understand why people are arguing about the look of the Sangheili jaws in this. It's clear that the split is there. You can see it. Seemly, everyone's also forgotten that they can control their jaws at will. Again, a thing clearly seen when Fel screams, his jaws splits open into the iconic Elite look.
In the lore all male sangheli joined the covenant while the females ran large estates, also I think Arbiter does have a wife she only shows up in the books.
Replying to both Roberto and gravemind, the Prophets could and succeeded in making their lives last longer through both natural evolution and forerunner technology. So it's a fifty chance that it's one of the current prophets and a fifty chance it's a random one.

Out of all the shorts in this film this one's definitely my favorite, and it's only the first short. I think they should've saved this one for a bit later, unless I'm just blind and it's supposed to be in this order
Well, it's actually the 3rd one. First is Origins I & II. Then they *_IMMEDIATELY_* thrust the feels into you like Fal thrust his Energy Sword into Haka.
Sangheili legions has witnessed on Human legions was quite Battle into, Sangheili legions want to honour to join side of Human legions as UNSC legions during Halo 3 Battle.
Did you learn more information on www.Halopedia.org? You can learn Fal Death in Halopedia from Google.. it's should be helpful information for helping you as Many Halo Fan.
This one is my favorite one of the whole disc. It's not just cool explosions and people getting killed cause it's war. It's about the struggle of the Arbiter. My his fictional soul rest in peace.
Not exactly if you know the lore of the Unngoy/Gunts. It's also a bit of black humor to lighten the mood and make the audience laugh after seeing the results of this Arbiter's massive fight.
While he is likely superior to Chief in hand to hand, don't dismiss Chief. In the books, he deflected a missile at one point by literally brushing it aside. We also know that during a single mission (which in Halo CE is the mission Truth and Reconciliation) he killed 120 Covenant troops. He has also faced Hunters head on and has killed multiple spec op Elite teams. The guy is no slouch.
Absolutely timeless piece of halo media. It has some weird bits, but its pros vastly outweigh any issues it has. Im still kicking myself over losing the disc i had for this
This is by far a masterpiece in halo because It explains even more why the bage of arbiter became a mark of shame and the fight sences were very entertaining
It is, their is a story of Elite's raiding a human building and when they enter all the humans were asleep so instead of killing them right then and there the Elites waited for the humans to grab their weapons before slaughtering them all.
Oh, this is pretty cool. I haven’t delved into the Sangheili lore, nor do I know much of the Halo lore. But from what I’m getting at here, the Sangheili culture has elements similar to the Eastern cultures such as Japanese and bushido. That’s actually pretty cool. :D
In the original trilogy they seemed more like religious zealots. Similar to muslim and christian fundamentalism. Holy warriors basically. But since halo legends is a Japanese production obviously they're gonna have samurai influences.
"And so it was that the two greatest warriors of the age slew each other on that battlefield. The Prophets' lies continued on to blind the Elites for centuries to come, all because one warrior had too much honor, and the other too little..."
Funny to note, but the Japanese Version, while the same base story. Actually has a few differences between each other. For example: - The man on the boat is younger and asks Arbiter if this is what he wants to do. - The Ambush is more of a search party.(Same thing really, but its a small difference) - The Prophets reasoning for the Arbiter is different. Arbiter was sent on a mission to kill Heretics, but due to him not wanting unnecessary killing he spares a few. Making the Prophets angry. - Fal's appointment to Arbiter is stated as happening 10 years ago, when he was charged with a mission that required one. - Haka is less a devoted Holy worrier more a Brute if I'm being honest. Haka is willing to do anything to complete his task. As the people Arbiter Spared was killed by Haka in the aftermath. - The conflicts beginning is different but the result is the same. - "The Journey is a Lie!" Is completely gone in the Japanese Version. The shout is instead in a defense of Arbiters Wife, as the Prophet asks that the Arbiters kindness actually came from his Wife. - The conversation between Fal and his wife is different actually. Instead of Fal telling his wife to go else where, its changed to Fal telling his wife how much he loves her and Fal's wife pointing out the death flag of such a statement. - Small difference in the Courtyard, similar to the English ver its Fal telling his men about their fighting style, but tells them not to let their guard down. - Roh and Fal's conversation is completely different. Instead of Roh warning Arbiter about his statements to the Prophets, in this version, Roh and others are AGAINST the Prophets and wants Arbiters Support in an uprising. - Fal is aware of how the Elites are changing and in someway is accepting, but doesn't wish to join the Uprising as to protect his wife. - Fal and Roh both have wifes, and Fal wants to send his wife to meet Roh's(Likely his way of keeping her out of the fight.) - The Prophets ordered hit is different. The Prophet finds out about the Uprising and orders Haka to kill all of those who plan to upraise along with the Arbiter. - The reason for Roh killing Fal's wife is actually to protect his own wife. As Haka threatens to kill her if Roh does not kill Fal's wife. - The Grunt that screams "He's a Demon!" Is the same in the Japanese Version. But I prefer the English version, its much more funnier than the Japanese ver. - From here, everything is basically the same, say for the Dialogue before the duel. As its less about Han and more of how Arbiter is late due to the massive army he just killed his way through. For anyone wondering, I am Japanese but even my Japanese isn't perfect, if anyone wants to correct something I may have miss interpreted please comment. But its just funny to note how the story changed when Dubbed into English its fun to not the differences.
The fact that this is Canon is amazing!!! I fan girled when i found lore of it in a halo 2 terminal. Fal chamavee can easily solo every character in halo
Kill Count hertic elites:2 covenant elites:24 these died elites fought the arbiter with an energy sword brute:2 they where just unlucky jackal:4 they where just unlucky hunter:3 they where just unlucky ghost:2 it's unknown who ride it wraith:1 it's unknown who ride it and there's no turrent shooting so there's just one covenant in there cannot tell:19 the covenant that died at 8:31 grunt:1 HE'S A DEMON in 11:06 maybe theres 49 corpses but the animation just makes it hard to count the corpes 58 died in the duel
@@bayporwave5328 Indeed. It gives context as to why the "Arbiter" title is a mark of shame in the Covenant as a whole, yet still respected among the Elites. Remember what the Shipmaster said. "The armor suits you."
Why *_wouldn't_* you be crying? I will *ALWAYS* remember this as the movie that made me cry the hardest as a kid. Actually, if I'm going to be honest, I'm pretty sure everything in Halo Legends (outside of Origins I/II, & of course the literal Comic Relief episode Odd One Out) made me cry, but The Duel just _really_ hit me as a kid. *_HARD._* Even now, almost an entire decade later in my life, I _still_ have to force myself to not cry once _Blade & Burden_ plays, as it shows his wife's body... *_AND SPEAK OF THE DEVIL! Of COURSE that fucking part would start playing AS I'M TALKING ABOUT IT._* Although, I think I cried harder when it showed the flashbacks as Fal Chavamee remembered his wife as he fell to the ground... Dead.
This movie is a bad dream fal wakes up Fal: GASP! Han: Fal! Fal: it was a bad dream. Han:......i had one too....i was beating to death and murder in our home. Fal: that's terrible! Han: Promise...you wont leave me.. Fal: i won't Han...I love you. Han: I love you too fal.
It’s important to remember that Master Chief at that time was very injured, heavily exhausted from essentially 3 weeks of constant fighting on Reach, Alpha Halo, and Reach again, was ambushed, and most importantly his armor was practically falling apart. Even Dr. Halsey remarks that John should be in shock and in a coma, not about to go on another mission. And the marine gunnery sergeant tells us that every part of his armor was failing too. So in context, it makes sense that Chief struggled. A few weeks later when Chief was onboard the Keyship returning to Earth, he killed like hundreds of brutes (including a chamber full of dozens of them) like he was Doomguy in CQC for weeks until he abandoned ship after failing to assassinate Truth.
@@acidsolman5665 Nah, anime has it's distinctive style that originated with characteristics like large eyes, big heads, etc. This is more like a oil pastel work.
his actions in this fight weren't for nothing in the end, eventually the arbiter with the swords of sanghelios and humanity brought down the covenant, and its leader died grasping pathetically for his life, while the flood tore his body apart, at least fal went out with dignity, and honor.
The way this arbiter stabbed him makes me think this arbiter just wanted to die I mean I don't blame him, but going for that kind of stab means you're purposely giving him the chance to strike you..
Actually, I just realized something. Fal Chavamee could've assassinated Haka or just straight up killed him easily. Yet, he didn't. Why not? Because, he wanted to maintain his honor. Remember in one of the H2A terminals, the Arbiter (before halo 1) let the soldiers pick up their weapons for a fair fight? I think he was trying to maintain his honor. However, that stance seems a lot like he was trying to move fast enough to Haka before he could strike.
The Master Samurott It’s already been stated in game lore and mechanics aren’t the same as in the “reality” of the halo universe. In this interpretation the elites mandibles form together like pieces to form a fully normal mouth only in distress or anger do they come apart to show the true emotion in their facial expression like how a chimp will bear its teeth in a fight.

@@CaptainCFalcon still I think they should've saved it for a little bit later
@@jf4132 I mean, yeah.
This is more proof that even sanghilli have a almost human side as well
mr Nohax agreed
Sangheili legions has witnessed on Human legions was quite Battle into, Sangheili legions want to honour to join side of Human legions as UNSC legions during Halo 3 Battle.
Did you learn more information on www.Halopedia.org? You can learn Fal Death in Halopedia from Google.. it's should be helpful information for helping you as Many Halo Fan.

Both humans and covenant are equally destructive there is no good or bad side just diffirent believes
2020 here. I've seen this like 12 times but still come back every now and then just to quote every damn word
This one is my favorite one of the whole disc. It's not just cool explosions and people getting killed cause it's war. It's about the struggle of the Arbiter. My his fictional soul rest in peace.
11:21 that shit was so out of left field, you can't do anything but laugh.
Not exactly if you know the lore of the Unngoy/Gunts. It's also a bit of black humor to lighten the mood and make the audience laugh after seeing the results of this Arbiter's massive fight.
10:43 and that ladies and gentleman is the sound of someone stepping on a lego
Halo and anime go so well together, hopefully we get a regular series one day.
This arbiter makes master chief look like a wimp
This Arbiter never fought the Flood though, so I guess we will never really know, but he is a badass no doubt.
HaloGamer555 wait this ain’t vel??
Sorry,wait this isn’t thel???
While he is likely superior to Chief in hand to hand, don't dismiss Chief. In the books, he deflected a missile at one point by literally brushing it aside. We also know that during a single mission (which in Halo CE is the mission Truth and Reconciliation) he killed 120 Covenant troops. He has also faced Hunters head on and has killed multiple spec op Elite teams. The guy is no slouch.
Haydn Andrus This Arbiters name is Fal Chavamee. He was the Arbiter that made the title Arbiter become a mark of shame
Absolutely timeless piece of halo media. It has some weird bits, but its pros vastly outweigh any issues it has. Im still kicking myself over losing the disc i had for this
The music during the main fight reminded me of naruto
Lows I think it’s the same song
@@idrisrobinson5393 No, just very similar instruments.
@@InkyGhoul no, it's literally The Great Uchiha, but with added vocals & maybe some extra violins.
The music is by the same guy who did Narutos music
@@schmangel_4832 Holy shit
No wonder I got naruto vibes watching this short movie
“The elites... you never truly believed in the great journey”
Covenant the great journey was Dishonored, as Lie, Liars were Weaks, Truth were Strong in Halo Timeline, Halo Fan.
Kid: “Will the shot hurt?”
Doctor: “Not really, you’ll barely even feel it.”
Kid in the other room: 10:43
This is by far a masterpiece in halo because It explains even more why the bage of arbiter became a mark of shame and the fight sences were very entertaining
my favorite story in halo legends, such a sad tale, yet beautiful
I have to say this is my personal favorite of the film.
I honestly love the samurai like style this one went with. Well that’s it feels like to me
It is, their is a story of Elite's raiding a human building and when they enter all the humans were asleep so instead of killing them right then and there the Elites waited for the humans to grab their weapons before slaughtering them all.
@@Mathiakle ah so they slay with a sense of honor? Thou shall not kill an unarmed foe?
@@ashallen4798 most of the Elites were honorable but not all of them are as seen in the Duel.
@@Mathiakle Like Hakar?
@@ashallen4798 EXACTLY!
Oh, this is pretty cool. I haven’t delved into the Sangheili lore, nor do I know much of the Halo lore. But from what I’m getting at here, the Sangheili culture has elements similar to the Eastern cultures such as Japanese and bushido. That’s actually pretty cool. :D
In the original trilogy they seemed more like religious zealots. Similar to muslim and christian fundamentalism. Holy warriors basically. But since halo legends is a Japanese production obviously they're gonna have samurai influences.
But it depends which influence you like best I guess
@@jonathanramos8517 in the lore the Sangheili have a lot of similarities to bushido
nice that 343 kept this canon, with Haka's design being clear to see in Halo 2 Anniversary's Terminals
343 is credited for helping
jeez, Han's got a case of the fuggin giggles
Skybrivi they’re beautiful giggles 😍
Still here! i listen to this soundtrack to free my mind, feel the universe and think into the future. it's so calming, "True Arbiter."
Is this animation like water color painted? Still epic though!
Godlkn I think it’s 3D animation with a water-color filter
@@sockbot41 Behind the scenes the maker of this pioneered this style of animation; made to look like watercolour painting.
“You are not worthy to speak her name. But I promise it is the last you will utter.”
“There will time to talk when I rule in your stead, and declare your shame…Arbiter.”
"And so it was that the two greatest warriors of the age slew each other on that battlefield. The Prophets' lies continued on to blind the Elites for centuries to come, all because one warrior had too much honor, and the other too little..."
This episode unironically makes more sense than anime as a whole.
11:20 oh god that poor grunt. He was probably apart of YapYap's family.
Lol
It was probably FlipYap...or was it YapFlip ?
I was only a kid when this movie came out even to this day I still love this movie
Funny to note, but the Japanese Version, while the same base story. Actually has a few differences between each other. For example:
- The man on the boat is younger and asks Arbiter if this is what he wants to do.
- The Ambush is more of a search party.(Same thing really, but its a small difference)
- The Prophets reasoning for the Arbiter is different. Arbiter was sent on a mission to kill Heretics, but due to him not wanting unnecessary killing he spares a few. Making the Prophets angry.
- Fal's appointment to Arbiter is stated as happening 10 years ago, when he was charged with a mission that required one.
- Haka is less a devoted Holy worrier more a Brute if I'm being honest. Haka is willing to do anything to complete his task. As the people Arbiter Spared was killed by Haka in the aftermath.
- The conflicts beginning is different but the result is the same.
- "The Journey is a Lie!" Is completely gone in the Japanese Version. The shout is instead in a defense of Arbiters Wife, as the Prophet asks that the Arbiters kindness actually came from his Wife.
- The conversation between Fal and his wife is different actually. Instead of Fal telling his wife to go else where, its changed to Fal telling his wife how much he loves her and Fal's wife pointing out the death flag of such a statement.
- Small difference in the Courtyard, similar to the English ver its Fal telling his men about their fighting style, but tells them not to let their guard down.
- Roh and Fal's conversation is completely different. Instead of Roh warning Arbiter about his statements to the Prophets, in this version, Roh and others are AGAINST the Prophets and wants Arbiters Support in an uprising.
- Fal is aware of how the Elites are changing and in someway is accepting, but doesn't wish to join the Uprising as to protect his wife.
- Fal and Roh both have wifes, and Fal wants to send his wife to meet Roh's(Likely his way of keeping her out of the fight.)
- The Prophets ordered hit is different. The Prophet finds out about the Uprising and orders Haka to kill all of those who plan to upraise along with the Arbiter.
- The reason for Roh killing Fal's wife is actually to protect his own wife. As Haka threatens to kill her if Roh does not kill Fal's wife.
- The Grunt that screams "He's a Demon!" Is the same in the Japanese Version. But I prefer the English version, its much more funnier than the Japanese ver.
- From here, everything is basically the same, say for the Dialogue before the duel. As its less about Han and more of how Arbiter is late due to the massive army he just killed his way through.
For anyone wondering, I am Japanese but even my Japanese isn't perfect, if anyone wants to correct something I may have miss interpreted please comment. But its just funny to note how the story changed when Dubbed into English its fun to not the differences.
I have never met anything more dangerous, than a man with nothing left to lose
Thug: coming was foolish
Fal: yes, yes it was *butchers the entire squad* you should have stayed home
When I was young and I first watched this, I thought this was the Halo 3 Arbiter so I got genuinely upset seeing him die.
this is hands down the saddest most bad ass short movie ive seen from the halo legend series and im only 12 minutes in.
The fact that this is Canon is amazing!!! I fan girled when i found lore of it in a halo 2 terminal. Fal chamavee can easily solo every character in halo
Imagine a live action movie with this cinematography
yes
Kill Count
hertic elites:2
covenant elites:24 these died elites fought the arbiter with an energy sword
brute:2 they where just unlucky
jackal:4 they where just unlucky
hunter:3 they where just unlucky
ghost:2 it's unknown who ride it
wraith:1 it's unknown who ride it and there's no turrent shooting so there's just one covenant in there
cannot tell:19 the covenant that died at 8:31
grunt:1 HE'S A DEMON
in 11:06 maybe theres 49 corpses but the animation just makes it hard to count the corpes
58 died in the duel
And if we consider all the offscreen deaths?
@@thepotatoof4219 roughly 305-405 died.
Master Chief is a wimp
@@sirsmiles1915 don't you dare say that about chief he is the most badass character in halo
@@blackliger4655 I immediatly regret what I say
Killing spree running riot killionair killtacular killpocalypse
Should be an achievement we’re you get all of those with an energy sword and it should be called “Arbiter unsheathed”
Unfrigginbelievable
I honestly thought it was just the Arbiter that didn't make it in that final. Genuinely had me like, "DAMN HE COULDN'T AVENGE HIS WIFE!"
11:21 i laughed harder than i expected
People complain about the art for this one but I actually really like this one
Love Halo ....
14:38 I see they're using the Halo 1 blood decals
The John wick of the halo universe, or I guess maybe John wick is Fel of his universe
Aaaaaand this is canon now.
I'm glad it is cause this was the best damn story like wow
@@bayporwave5328 Indeed. It gives context as to why the "Arbiter" title is a mark of shame in the Covenant as a whole, yet still respected among the Elites.
Remember what the Shipmaster said. "The armor suits you."
Nathaniel Winchester I understood that refrence
Always has been *que that one song*
why am i crying ;_;
Why *_wouldn't_* you be crying?
I will *ALWAYS* remember this as the movie that made me cry the hardest as a kid.
Actually, if I'm going to be honest, I'm pretty sure everything in Halo Legends (outside of Origins I/II, & of course the literal Comic Relief episode Odd One Out) made me cry, but The Duel just _really_ hit me as a kid. *_HARD._*
Even now, almost an entire decade later in my life, I _still_ have to force myself to not cry once _Blade & Burden_ plays, as it shows his wife's body...
*_AND SPEAK OF THE DEVIL! Of COURSE that fucking part would start playing AS I'M TALKING ABOUT IT._*
Although, I think I cried harder when it showed the flashbacks as Fal Chavamee remembered his wife as he fell to the ground... Dead.
This movie is a bad dream
fal wakes up
Fal: GASP!
Han: Fal!
Fal: it was a bad dream.
Han:......i had one too....i was beating to death and murder in our home.
Fal: that's terrible!
Han: Promise...you wont leave me..
Fal: i won't Han...I love you.
Han: I love you too fal.
Haka: So anyway, I started blasting
Why start blasting
Is it because your jealous because fal married Han the most beautiful women of his clan and people
At least this way, Fel can protect Han.
Always cannot deny my favourite color, Blue in Halo movie, any Halo future trailer, even Never Deny Blue in infinite Loops and Halo timeline.
That kind of arbiter is a good guy in halo historic !
"Space samurais don't exist they can't hurt you"
Space samurais:
Legends: Spartans and an Arbiter are able to take on armies of covenants like their flies.
Books: Chief struggles with one low-ranking Brute soldier.
Tbf it is an anime
@@lonewolf9578 A lot of the episodes are anime-styled. This one clearly isn't.
It’s important to remember that Master Chief at that time was very injured, heavily exhausted from essentially 3 weeks of constant fighting on Reach, Alpha Halo, and Reach again, was ambushed, and most importantly his armor was practically falling apart.
Even Dr. Halsey remarks that John should be in shock and in a coma, not about to go on another mission. And the marine gunnery sergeant tells us that every part of his armor was failing too. So in context, it makes sense that Chief struggled. A few weeks later when Chief was onboard the Keyship returning to Earth, he killed like hundreds of brutes (including a chamber full of dozens of them) like he was Doomguy in CQC for weeks until he abandoned ship after failing to assassinate Truth.
@@thepotatoof4219 buts it's still an cartoon animation made by Japanese Animators, so its technically still and Anime
@@acidsolman5665 Nah, anime has it's distinctive style that originated with characteristics like large eyes, big heads, etc. This is more like a oil pastel work.
The Madara of Halo
Dovahninja underated comment
More itachi on the real
Even to this day I find The Dual the best episode
So is his wife a Sangheili? I thought Sangheili females looked like males, but with much larger leg proportion
David Price no, they are indeed smaller. Just look at Shadow of Intents Cover, the females look is canon.
@@NotARangerBoy smaller sure, but she doesn't have mandibles like the males
David Price ah, I just noticed. That’s strange.
In a later clip it looks like she formed her bottom mandibles into a bottom jaw
@@gabetheascetic3370 That makes way more sense, thanks
his actions in this fight weren't for nothing in the end, eventually the arbiter with the swords of sanghelios and humanity brought down the covenant, and its leader died grasping pathetically for his life, while the flood tore his body apart, at least fal went out with dignity, and honor.
15:00 the sound of me getting up in the morning.
This is what made love the elites so much
The way this arbiter stabbed him makes me think this arbiter just wanted to die I mean I don't blame him, but going for that kind of stab means you're purposely giving him the chance to strike you..
Actually, I just realized something.
Fal Chavamee could've assassinated Haka or just straight up killed him easily. Yet, he didn't. Why not? Because, he wanted to maintain his honor. Remember in one of the H2A terminals, the Arbiter (before halo 1) let the soldiers pick up their weapons for a fair fight?
I think he was trying to maintain his honor. However, that stance seems a lot like he was trying to move fast enough to Haka before he could strike.
11:21 I’m dead bro lol.💀
*hE'S a DeMoN*
*SLICE*
I wish this could be remade for today. I want to see this style, and, in general, the halo legends animation in 4k. Shit would be MINT
Does anyone else enjoy the oil appeal that this short had? It seems to have added on to the tone to the whole thing if you asked me.
8:34
You can see the vertical line on her chin indicating her mandibles.
But just like the Samurai elite the mandibles don’t move properly they just look like the have normal jaws with and indent I’m the middle
The Master Samurott
It’s already been stated in game lore and mechanics aren’t the same as in the “reality” of the halo universe. In this interpretation the elites mandibles form together like pieces to form a fully normal mouth only in distress or anger do they come apart to show the true emotion in their facial expression like how a chimp will bear its teeth in a fight.
@@ray-0249 THANK YOU!!!SOMEONE SAYS IT!!!! FUCKING FINALLY!!!
Fal Chavamee is the Halo version of 2003 General Grievous.
That would be the halo wars arbiter actually
hail the arbiter and may the honor of his clans blood flow to the end of days
Love this art style
Never thought I'd see an Arbiter take on an entire covenant army.
Long live the swords of Sangeilios
Everytime I have a sword fight in halo I think of this
Okay E3 where’s the spin off I’ll gladly buy
Takes out whole army but runs into the other elite and fucking dies
I actually thought this was arbiter after halo 3 making the covenant return in halo 4 until I saw the terminals in halo 2 anniversary
14:39
Gets turned into a literal geyser
The short that made me invest into the Elites.
