The Rammus verse just saying ‘O-Ok’ is flawless, absolutely amazing performance 😂
I was the Cassiopeia in the beginning!! Oh my gosh, thank you so much!! Makes me so happy that people still enjoy my verse on that song. I still get messages about it to this very day. Thank you again!! I put my whole everything into the performance and tried to make it good because it was my first time rapping and it was for a big project too so I wanted to make it great.
THAT was your first time rapping? So good!
Honestly my favourite verse from this is war 6 - well done @Joopis!!
@@haisantheraisan6354 Thank you so much!!💕💕
@@Hewrin88 Thank you so much!! Yes, it was hahah I thought everyone wouldn't like it because I wasn't sure if I sounded good or not. I had nothing to compare it to since I've never done it before and was doubting myself, so I was surprised at all the support I got when it came out hahaha
@@Joopis are you in any other League songs?
If I recall correctly, This is War 5 was supposed to be the last one, but the fans wanted it so much, and they crowdfunded it on Patreon. Or it was the 6. Not sure, it was a while ago, but I felt so proud of the community when he made the "crowdfunding was complete" announcement.
Iirc 6 Was the last one for a long time because Josef had a bunch of things in his personal life come up (job, family etc.) and didn't have time for the Falconshield works. Nothing to Forgive came out cuz it was mostly done when he announced the hiatus, and then out of nowhere he posted a video announcing the this is war 7 Kickstarter which raised I think somewhere around £8700 and if i recall correctly, Jhin wasn't supposed to be on the roster but a very passionate individual donated a lump sum high enough to have him added.
The line in The third verse (Nasus/The dog) when he refers to the 'Traitor Gator' is in regards to the second verse, Renekton, who looks like an Alligator. In lore, they're brothers, biologicly, but when they 'ascended', they became the animals you saw on the video there, and eventually, Renekton went insane (It's a whole thing), but he thinks the others betrayed him
Also to expand on the ties to egyptian mythology:
Renekton (the croc dude) is basicly inspired by the egyptian god Sobek (a human with the head of a crocodile), the god of crocodiles, water and fertility.
Nasus (big dog) is inspired by Anubis (human with a canine head) the god of the dead/ death rites and guide to the underworld. He usheres souls into the afterlife and then decides which ones get to pass on into the realm of the dead (think coming out of purgatory and getting to go to heaven).
This is referenced in his lines: "I weighed your skill up to a feather and youre coming up light.", because one of the things Anubis does, is weighing a dead persons heart against a feather. If you lived a rightous life your heart is pure and "light" of sin, so to speak. If your heart is heavier than the feather though, youre denied passage.
Azir (birdperson) is obviously Horus/ Ra, gof of the sun, kingship, healing and protection, most often depicted as a human with a falcons head.
If you want to dive deeper into the lore of LoL to gain more understanding of the characters and factions (nations) at play here and what theyre referencing in their lines, then I can really recommend Necrits LoL lore video.
He covers all factions you heard from in "This Is War" and even most of the characters we heard/ we will hear from. It will help your understanding of some lines by showing the connection of characters like Renekton, Nasus, Azir and Xerath (from part 6) or Ashe, Sejuani and Lissandra (from part 4) and make you appreciate the thought and writing that went into these even more.
Have a nice day.
The "traitor gator" line is about the previous character in the song, they are brothers. And the lightning dude twisted the crocodile's mind and now he hates the doggo
Lightning dude twisted crocs mind so now he hates doggo hahahahaha u killed me bro xD
Yeah, I’m gonna say it right away. Azir and Xerath are the best two verses in the entire series.
Honestly, Shurima and Noxus vs Demacia II are the two videos in the series where every single character is perfect.
"Zed vs Shen ft. Akali" is pretty cool too
10:54 Tezzeret the Seeker is a character from Magic: The Gathering, meaning that even if you put the seeker into a flying sport, he's still the best
Not sure if you caught it, because you caught the Medusa bar, but the reason she mentioned the champion "Galio" is because Galio is made of stone
The "Traitor Gator" is a reference to the previous verse, which was done by "Renekton" who is an aligator, and is the brother of the dog character.
"Surf and Turf" is a reference to the fact that the characters "surfs" on a rock when she is next to a wall in the game
The "fin" reference is due to the fact that you can see the characters fin when she is underground
The character that only said "OK" is a reference to the fact that he rarely talks in the game. He only ways "yeah" "alright" and "OK" and that is everything he ever says
Not sure if it was commented on already, but the "You're losing mobs when I swing around the pimp cane" is a reference to League of Legends player Trick2G, who is known for playing Nasus(the Anubis guy) and referring to his staff as the Pimp Cane.
I think my favorite obscure bar was during Azir “Little Moses, what is a weedle to a pidgeot?”
During the event “Twitch plays. Pokémon” they caught and named their pidgeot Bird Jesus with Azir having a obvious bird motif
And with Moses from The King of Egypt the bar ends up being “What is a king to a god” rap god reference
The blue guy near the end is named "Xerath". he easily has one of the coolest stories in the entire games lore. He was a slave in a kingdom and eventually stole the power of ascension from the king. the power turned him into a being of infinite energy. In the game he launches morter shots of energy from across the map, as well as shoots massive lasers.
Hell yeah, dude. Forgot to comment on this. This one rocked out really hard. Badministrator back at it again, straight up BAD-ing the track, but Antirivet also went crazy with the voice acting as Azir.
It was really clever the way that they set up this one is that for every character (except for Cassiopeia at the beginning) is a back-and-forth rivalry. Renekton and Nasus are brothers locked in an eternal struggle, Taliyah is fighting a war against Rek'sai and the Void invaders, and then Xerath is an former slave turned divine elementalist waging a war against Azir who is the Chosen One trying to resurrect the Shuriman Empire. They also used a lot of Magic: the Gathering references.
Ok for context: Xerath was Azirs supervisor and best friend when Azir became the Emperor of Shurima. They had an ancient Relic called the Sun Disk which could Ascend a chosen few. Nasus, Renekton and Azir are all Ascended. Xerath driven by hunger for power interrupted Azirs Ascension and became a floating mass if arcane power. Which is why Azir hates him.
my man rammus said "ok"
damn what a line
God damn I get chills everytime I hear Azir's part its so fucking good
“O-Ok” Best line 😂
yay wanted you to do these for a while ^^
7:19 that's a reference to all time favourite Magic: The Gathering card Stoneforge Mystic. The character being obviously a rockbender
This one is sooo good! Can't wait for your reactions to the last two!
Hahaha i love that "OK" timing. Man i found out your channel today and i am already on watching spree. I love Falconshield and i' ve been a fan since '14. Now i found you out reacting to them and its so cool and interesting. You seem like a cool guy, you got some likes from me and sub. Keep it up brother! Wish you all the best!!
This is my favorite one with all the Magic references they put in here.
A rare Monster Hunter reference at 8:02. I always liked the Nibelsnarf.
Man i haven't listened to this in so long, but it does go as hard as I remember. I hope you enjoyed the series!
"Why he go so hard?" I'm DEAD 🤣😭😂
what a treat to have this vid come! excited to see your reaction to xerath verse specifically
Writing this out as I watchand I'll make notes to help ya out.
Galio is literally a statue that comes to life
The second and third verses are brothers, conceptually based off of Anubis and Sobek.
The Stoneforge Mystic call out being on a card is because in MTG there's an entire archetype where a card with that name is the lynchpin. (also yes, Taliyah is called "the stoneweaver"
Rek'sai is a character that moves below the surface of the ground like a shark and what she looks like when moving like that is just a fin.
Ok
Xerath lore wise because like he is be tricking Azir, the final guy, into performing an ascension ritual, but at the last moment pushed him out of the way and attempted ascension himself. Mainly because Xerath, being Azir's slave grew tired of waiting for his best friend (and Master) to free them.
Also humble brag tho, I've been a patron of the Falconshield team since..... I think a year before this one? I became a patron before this is war 5 came out to the public and let me tell ya, the "this is war" series is amazing but I highly recommend, even in your own time, checking out some of his solo character stuff, like "Walk the End", "Nothing to Forgive" "Demons Looming Over You" "Lavender Blooms" and the newest one "Drown with Me"
Its awesome that you going thru the whole series. Id highly reccomend you listen to the Bilgewater cypher, tho that might be one you do off cam. Stay up Big Dave love your vids
Glad you stuck around. Some people listen to the first three and drop this but they are missing out big time.
Let's go!
“He must be a popular character” god I wish
Can't wait for this is war 8 reaction, it's my favorite so far
Badministrator killed it with Xerath. The Drone section alone is amazing but ending with "You face the Wrath, you got a zero chance of winning", if you change the order, Zero + Wrath = Xerath (X is pronounciated as a Z)
Traitor Gator was a reference to the previous character that was performing. They were brothers and Renekton betrayed everyone.
The 7th one is the next lets gooo
for the league lore, Sun man was king of Shurima and was betrayed by lightning man (sun mans best friend and former slave) who stole his divinity in a ritual. Sun man was assumed dead until he came back. Gator and Dog (anubis) brothers were both sworn protectors of Shurima and when Lightning man stole divinity, Gator decided to sacrifice himself and lock himself underground with lightning man to stop him from destroying everything. Dog begrudgingly agreed to seal them away. Over time Gators mind was slowly changed due to lightning mans power and after being unsealed Gator wants to kill his brother Dog who he now perceives as a traitor for locking him underground
So the Stoneforge Mystic is a reference to a very good magic the gathering card, Stoneforge Mystic. There were a lot of MtG references in this one. tezzeret and eldrazi are MtG characters as well.
ooo yes more. this one was is so cool.
Joopis supposed at very low experience at singing but she owned her mic like Nicki Minaj at her peak 😂
Thank you ;0;❤❤
Lol, a ryme scheme based on contrict and wrap, pokémon moves.
My favorites are actuly 5 and 8. I just love the yordle in 8 and how hard she flexes XD
Guessing you're waiting for the last 2 so they're not all done in one go? ^^
Big dog is nasus, he scales damage infinitely with any kills with his Q
Hears the xerath verse and then says that it must be a popular character
Me: if only he was we would maybe finally get a legendary skin 😢
Going to be sad when this ends after 2 more. Well, at least until this is war 9 comes out.
Wasn't very hyped for this one when it came out as I was never a big fan of most of the Shurima characters...
My favorite by far among them is Renekton and he did not dissappoint!
Not that many pop culture references, just pure hatred
Please react to Falconshield This is Bilgewater , Shadow Arcade 1 and 2 , those are just like This is War series , just under another name.
No, Tezzeret like Magic The Gathering! This volume is ripe with MTG references.
The Stoneforge Mystic (a Magic card).
The League's Eldrazi (Eldrazis are a race of world-ending calamitous monstrosities, think Cthulhu).
Tezzeret the Seeker is a famous Planeswalker in MTG. IIRC, he's a Time Mage, but I could be wrong on this point.
I think you have Tezzeret confused with Teferi. Tezzeret was an artificer, while Teferi is the time mage.
@@JaxMerrick Aye, you got me. ^_^ Though I did say that I was not sure about Tezzeret.
Thank you for providing correction and precision, fren. :)
Xerath and Azir are amazing
Go check out Trick2G/Sirchez. That's where the pimp cane line comes in.
Loved Susan's verse
Xerath verse is absurd, but without knowing the champions is hard to get many of the bars.
