I had to wait a while for this one #jacqueszewhipper #jackthewhipper #sephiroth #onewingedangel #finalfantasy #finalfantasy7remake #finalfantasy7 #freebird #sword #katana #masamune
I was wildly impressed he knew all the Latin by heart, and then happy he was validated for putting time into learning it. I hope more people request it. 😂
Sometimes you come across a person that is just super chill, funny, skilled in his act and has an alround great character without fostering an ego about all of it. Jacques is such a guy that helps make life worth living.
It's iconic to final fantasy, but it hasn't been used for anything else aside from kingdom hearts on a hidden boss. The mario song probably gets called much more often due to how exposed it is to the populace.
What I love the most is when he comes out with the katana at the end, he goes into a pitch-perfect recreation of Sephiroth's pose. I just about died laughing. Great work!
The amount of times this clip has already made rounds in the various Final Fantasy groups I'm in makes me happy. It also makes me hope that more Final Fantasy songs get requested ;)
We can’t be surprised he knows the lyrics to this song. This man learned the words to Animaniac songs. He’s more than enough of a nerd to learn One Winged Angel God I love these videos
It's funny you mention that. I have also taken the time to sit down and learn the full lyrics to the Animaniacs Nations of the World and their US Presidents song too. Learned them almost 15 years ago and still know them perfectly. Unfortunately I've never been able to apply either one of them to a real world situation where I get to show it off.
@@DukeDarkshadow Someday you just need to force the situation; some talents are so out-of-the-box that they just aren't likely to come up naturally, and waiting for them to do so is a waste of said talent. Shine on you crazy fucking diamond and best of luck with your Animaniacs songs in the future.
I was in the audience for both shows so the "If only..." made me feel like I had a very special secret. Even more fun was seeing the rest of the audience respond with delight to what I knew was coming! Magical
It's the first time I've heard of "Jacques Ze Whipper" and I don't know what I expected when I clicked on this video, but this was glorious and also very entertaining. The ending made me laugh so hard.
This guy is about to inspire a slew of whip based bards for sure. He's like a character come to life on stage that the Ren crowd had secreted away in their pg 13 shows until now.
Knowing the Latin lyrics to "One Winged Angel" is super impressive, but calling the sword a nodachi instead of a katana would really give Uber nerds like me the old razzle dazzle.
Nah, calling it Masamune is better. Odachi are designed to slash, Sephiroths sword is often used to stab and impale. And in crisis core particularly, the blade is closer to a tachi than an odachi. Basically, no real life blade is a perfect match, so calling it by its name is probably the best option.
@@FFKonoko that and the Masamune is seven feet long, so it wouldn't even be an Odachi in the first place lol (they are traditionally only up to 4 or 5 feet) The only sword it could possibly compare to in length would be the chinese Zhanmahdao (which were usually about 6 an a half feet, or 200cm) which was used to cut horses heads off. Zhanmahdao is also not to be confused with "Zanbato", which, is just an anime thing, it's not actually real. I do wanna point out that Sephiroth does use his blade for slashing in a lot of games though. Kingdom Hearts, Dissidia, and Smash Bros. all have more slashing moves than stabbing moves.
Now I want to know if there is a song that he doesn't know. Plenty of songs get requests that he vetos, but his knowledge of esoteric songs is impressive.
His crowd work is phenomenal. Like this is top tier stuff that most entertainers could learn from. Directly involving the crowd without losing control to them. Making them all feel like they're a part of it while simultaneously using their reactions to surprise them. It's brilliant.
This man matches the comedic energy of 90s Jim Carrey, and that is in no way a bad thing. Also, his whole "FINALLY!" thing reminded me of the time I actually got to use the line "When someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!"
I subscribed purely based on this video, in my 30s and shared it with childhood friends and we were all obsessed with this game and we had the biggest group chat in years from it, outstanding work young man!
Welp... Looks like I'm officially in love with this man. I too learned all the Latin lyrics of One Winged Angel and it was even my ringtone for a hot minute. I like how he asks if it's from FFVII knowing full well where it's from. What a beautiful nerd.
Ahhhh!!! I want to see him LIVE one day. His arsenal of songs is amazing. . . but this one - WOW! I love the Final Fantasy Games and the fact that he knew WHERE that song appears and what you have to do to GET TO that point. . . NERD!!! Yes, let the nerd shine through. lol. I appreciate him SO MUCH! I am even more 'in love' with him now than I was before - and I'm a huge fan offhand. (=
"Death is nothing, compared to Vindication." My man here literally holding on to lyrics in Latin, a practically dead language, for 10 years plus because he knew, one-day, there would be a big enough Nerd to request it.
My favorite part is that at the start you think Jacques is annoyed because it’s a difficult song, and then you learn that it’s because he is annoyed that it took so long for it to finally get requested.
What a charismatic guy !! I admire how he shows his relatively "unique" passion/hobby to a non-gamer audience with such style !! There is not even a second where the audience looks bored or confused about him talking about Final Fantasy. . Kudos !! :D
It seems that some of the lyrics are shared by Carl Orff’s “Carmina Burana,” a musical interpretation of a collection of 13th century songs and poems found in a Benedictine monastery in Bavaria in 1803. The texts were in Latin, German, and medieval French. Many of you will probably recognize the opening movement of Carmina Burana, “O Fortuna,” a rather bombastic number with full orchestra and choir that is frequently used for automotive commercials and scenes of imminent doom in movies. Now that we’ve got your “Musical History Moment” out of the way: good work, Jacques! Love your work!
Nobuo Uematsu, the composer, took the lines from Carmina Burana. And used the epic orchestral style for inspiration. This is one of those hardcore Final Fantasy nerd trivia facts! 😎 I was so fascinated by the song back in the day, I arduously researched the lyrics (during the pre-google, internet explorer, 56k net days, so a lot of work and patience!) and all the history behind it.
He's a gamer. I wouldn't be surprised if he was carrying it around backstage for the last decade hoping for someone to request that song just so he could use it.
@@jesseherrig6664 "Sir, why is there a katana in your luggage?" "I perform music - with whips - for a living." "Not only have you not answered my question, you have raised several more."
As a person who was never allowed to play these games (the closest I got was Kingdom Hearts), I always loved the look of Sephiroth and hearing my friends rant about him now Jacque has this and it's stuck in my head.... I just might finally play final fantasy at 30 years old.
Play and you will never look at games the same again. Before i play final fantasy, for me the video game is just filling up my time. Some games are addictive but never come across a game that pulling me into the world of fantasy like final fantasy did... My parents said I'm crazy that i cried when i finished one of the final fantasy games... It is like girls have fallen into sentimental drama rabbit holes... It makes me feel like i am the main character of the story and the whole storyline gives me some impact on my emotion. Back in the early 90's, no games made it so deep like final fantasy does
That was amazing!!! You can count on getting this requested if I can ever make it to one of your shows. I played that game when it first came out. Was obsessed with it and the sheer awe I experienced during that final fight is undescribable.
I am amazed. This is incredible! Jacque is incredible! So glad to have found his channel. And this video combines two of my favorite things - ren fests and Final Fantasy video games! Yay! Keep up the awesome!
@@JacquesZeWhipper maybe a breath of the Wild stream that was out recently. I remember her talking about it fairly recently. I don’t think it was on the podcast.
We played Liberati Fatali in the uni orchestra, I was on cymbal & bass drum... And only *now* do I realise that yes, Jacques is one of us percussionists. Now to convince the committee we need to buy whips...
I only discovered him a couple days ago through CZcams shorts, and my nerd heart leapt that he did this XD Jacques, I learned these lyrics over fifteen years ago just because I love Sephiroth lol.
I am not the least bit surprised that Jack knows One Winged Angel.
Oh no surprise at all.
Me neither. Especially after having a long speech about how long it came out and how hard you had to work to even hear it
It’d be more surprising if he DIDN’T know it, right?
Nor that he has a big @ss katana 😂
People act like they're definitely going to be geekier than the PERSON WORKING AT A GODDAMN RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL all the time.
"Does anyone here speak latin?" *three hands go up in the back* "Shut up." 😂
Betting all 3 were Supernatural fans lol
I can't stop laughing at how angry he seems at the request. But it's more "about freaking time," anger than mad at the request. Love it so much.
“My moment has arrived” type anger, which fits my vibe, personally lmao. Most excellent moment.
It's the "Yes! Finally!!" we all really need! 😂 Bravo, sir! 👏 👏 👏
To quote Lizzo, "IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME!!"
I was wildly impressed he knew all the Latin by heart, and then happy he was validated for putting time into learning it. I hope more people request it. 😂
If there's any anger, it's towards the collective audience he'd entertained for a decade for not requesting it sooner
When you've secretly had a joke in your back pocket for 20 years and you finally get to use it.
hes got a video of him doing it 2 years before and he had the exact same reaction
Sometimes you come across a person that is just super chill, funny, skilled in his act and has an alround great character without fostering an ego about all of it. Jacques is such a guy that helps make life worth living.
I'll come back to you... Who just said Freebird?!
@@kinyutaka I was spamming your like button. Sadly only one stuck.
Yeah!
His wife is a VERY lucky woman.
Oh man I thought you'd follow up with "And then there's Jasque."
I can't fathom the idea that one winged angel, one of if not the most iconic video game songs, has never been requested until now
DUCKING SAME
It's iconic to final fantasy, but it hasn't been used for anything else aside from kingdom hearts on a hidden boss. The mario song probably gets called much more often due to how exposed it is to the populace.
@@heero1224 Just because the song hasn't been used for much else doesnt mean it's not iconic.
@@Xeno_Solarus correct. But it is still an older reference, as i stated.
@@heero1224it’s in Smash bros too
Memorized the lyrics for almost a decade! Has Sephi’s Katanna! Gave me goosebumps! More power to ya!
The better question, was the sword supposed to have come out or did he throw that in after the request... and if so... why did he have it on hand!?!
@@alexn5743 it’s a plant. It makes for good comedy.
It's called the Masamune
I was expecting something very different. I watch too much wrestling 😅
It may have been a convention, in which case, someone was probably cosplaying Sephiroth and lent their Masamune for the bit.
What I love the most is when he comes out with the katana at the end, he goes into a pitch-perfect recreation of Sephiroth's pose. I just about died laughing.
Great work!
Had the same reaction with my brother when I showed him the clip. :D
Wish they didn't cut to the end so quickly. I wanted to see ses's reaction.
@@jesseherrig6664, they gotta leave things like that out so you'll want to see them in person more!!
... aka: "guess you just had to be there🤷🏻"
😂🤣😂
He leaned back clearly accepting his fate which is really all you can do in that situation
He even did the stance
The amount of times this clip has already made rounds in the various Final Fantasy groups I'm in makes me happy. It also makes me hope that more Final Fantasy songs get requested ;)

Tbf i know at least half of the nations of the world song as well
And animaniacs didnt even air in my country afaik lol
what's more surprising is him bringing the katana at the end

Absolute Chaotic Neutrality. This is the DnD Bard at his greatest.
This guy is about to inspire a slew of whip based bards for sure. He's like a character come to life on stage that the Ren crowd had secreted away in their pg 13 shows until now.
This man sure is talented. We wish him all the best in his life somehow.
It's completely unacceptable how attractive and charming he is.
Is this whole thing about emphasizing that he's talented some kind of inside joke among people who follow him? (It's a legit question, I'm confused)
Knowing the Latin lyrics to "One Winged Angel" is super impressive, but calling the sword a nodachi instead of a katana would really give Uber nerds like me the old razzle dazzle.
Nah, calling it Masamune is better. Odachi are designed to slash, Sephiroths sword is often used to stab and impale. And in crisis core particularly, the blade is closer to a tachi than an odachi.
Basically, no real life blade is a perfect match, so calling it by its name is probably the best option.
nobody else would know what is that tho
@@FFKonoko that and the Masamune is seven feet long, so it wouldn't even be an Odachi in the first place lol (they are traditionally only up to 4 or 5 feet)
The only sword it could possibly compare to in length would be the chinese Zhanmahdao (which were usually about 6 an a half feet, or 200cm) which was used to cut horses heads off. Zhanmahdao is also not to be confused with "Zanbato", which, is just an anime thing, it's not actually real.
I do wanna point out that Sephiroth does use his blade for slashing in a lot of games though. Kingdom Hearts, Dissidia, and Smash Bros. all have more slashing moves than stabbing moves.
Just commenting in case anyone else has interesting sword facts so I get notified
@@peefromtmv His main attack animation is a running slash in the Nibelheim flashback so im not sure i get why they said he mainly stabs
Now I want to know if there is a song that he doesn't know. Plenty of songs get requests that he vetos, but his knowledge of esoteric songs is impressive.
There's plenty he doesn't know. It actually happened twice in the first CitySpace show (this is to be from the second CitySpace show)
The Duck Song
Wat do u mean by esoteric.
@@reality1701 Are you speaking of the legendary duck that walked up to a lemonade stand and wanted grapes?
@@l_ifeefi_l1998 I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't want to theme songs to old, obscure sitcoms.
I mean, who knows the theme to My Mother, The Car?
The fact that he had the katana THERE lol the just in case moment. I love that. oh man Jack you're ze best.
His crowd work is phenomenal. Like this is top tier stuff that most entertainers could learn from. Directly involving the crowd without losing control to them. Making them all feel like they're a part of it while simultaneously using their reactions to surprise them. It's brilliant.

Home boy really came out with a katana while singing, what a legend 😂
Came out possessed lmao
I'm so glad it paid off for him to learn that iconic song! And the way he had the whip wrapped around him like a boss.
I subscribed purely based on this video, in my 30s and shared it with childhood friends and we were all obsessed with this game and we had the biggest group chat in years from it, outstanding work young man!
Please check out his other stuff. If you liked this, you'll probably like the rest too!
@pizzapi3270 Oh I went so hard down the rabbit hole after this video. 😂
Me too

I like the slow revelations, through his questions, that he damn well knows the song and is absolutely going to do it 😂😂😂
That was AMAZING! Thank you for that epic rendition!

My favorite part is that at the start you think Jacques is annoyed because it’s a difficult song, and then you learn that it’s because he is annoyed that it took so long for it to finally get requested.
I’m actually kinda intrigued by this particular show now. Much warmer than the Renaissance faires I’m sure!
SEPHIROTH!!!!!!!
SEPHIROTH!!!!!!!
Also not surprised someone requested Freebird xD
Just hearing him doing One Winged Angel made me smile
I do not know what on earth makes you think I know that song but I Absolutely know every word of that song.
If Jacques ever does Sweet Caroline I think the internet might just explode!
At Fenway would be epic. Like outdoor concert hall.
I'd pay good money to see that! 🤣
I think he already has. 😂
He did
As a huge RPG fan, I have to say thank you so much! This made my day!!
I have the upmost admiration and respect for Jacques, this man can do any song in the best way possible: the Jacques Way®
I want this man to whip and sing the entire goddamn track and release it because it highkey slaps.
love the extended cut. and how could we NOT request freebird?
he has a special tally for these freebird requests.... just hope he doesn't have a deathnote. XD

What kind of wholesome little corner of CZcams did I just stumble on! Keep doing what you're doing, cause it's great.
Now all we need is Don't Fear the Reaper. And we can't forget the cowbell!
The fact that he knows how long Sephiroth's katana is, speaks volume about his extensive knowledge about the game, its world and characters
Holy shit. Jack is ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US!
Thank you so much for this, it's exactly what I needed at this time.
i just love the reaction to the request soooo much!
you truly are a brother in nerddom 🤍
Ses singing Rainbow Connection at the end, I probably would've threatened him with a katana too😂

This filled me with so much joy, especially the end
The crowd has no idea how amazing that was
This guy is a man of culture.
"I'm not sure what makes you think I know it.........................But I do" LMAO I love ya man that was AWESOME especially at the end
That song will always give me the same old chills
That audience member woke up and chose violence. He must have forgotten Jack’s primary form of communication *is* violence.
My favorite song ever. I'm glad he knew it. This just made my day.
Props for the archaic video game knowledge on the fly.
The Freebird reaction from Jaques is gold.
Now my life is finally complete. I never knew I needed this, but apparently I did. Thank you.
As soon as he said "a game that came out, 1997?" I knew then, he knew that ish
This is one of the coolest videos I have EVER seen!

You got another sub for this formidable performance of One Winged Angel.
This is why he's Ze Best!
His commitment and fervour truly inspires.
Jack pulling the 'sit back and read a newspaper while freebird plays' is the best part of this bideo outside of one winged angel
Beautiful!!!
This is amazing! Love it!!!
always comeback here every month to watch this
As soon as he caught one winged angel and asked it back to the person I was so happy to know that he knew exactly what this was
You, sir, are an absolute LEGEND!
Ohhhh my freaking goodness jacque!!!! You freaking ROCK!!!!!!
Absolute epic win of a performance right here.
I only discovered him a couple days ago through CZcams shorts, and my nerd heart leapt that he did this XD
Jacques, I learned these lyrics over fifteen years ago just because I love Sephiroth lol.
Saw this on a fb feed. Funny af because it was so epic
