100% agree with you on that. Its this contradiction between his soft hearted nature & deep hatred that is really one of my main reasons for loving his character so much.

Yikes. Hate to see what I personally become in a real life timeskip then.

@@NalonB We're in the part that gets skipped right now, lol.

i like how ur name is guy of minimal importance but then they pin your comment here because it has an important message

Wow this is an incredibly based take

iS THiS SoME KInD oF TwISTeD JoKE!!!!!!!!!??????

Felix: "You act like fighting and killing people is your one and only purpose in life. That is why I think you are a disgusting boar." Also Felix: "Weilding a blade is my one and only purpose in life and I intend to fight and kill with it. If anyone thinks my way of thinking is disgusting then I don't care." Ah, yes, good. How very consistent and fair of you, Felix. (This is a joke btw. I know that the difference is that Dimitri becomes completely psychologically dominated by the misery of loss to the point where he snaps whereas Felix simply tries to lessen the pain by becoming a Political and (somewhat) Existential Nihilist. Still, both of them were determined to forge themselves into cold-hearted weapons as a direct result of the death/s of those close to them. Maybe it's just me, but sometimes I feel like Felix HugeSword FrickMyEnemies is the _last_ person who should get to call out Mr "Kill Every Last One of Them")

Aromaseraphy Lavender *boar* *_beast_*

@@conspiracypanda1200 Felix also has his boar moments (whereas he kills anyone who will stand in his way) crimson flower Felix says so himself. Especially when you put him up against his childhood friends and his father, he tells them he will kill anyone even if they are friends or family :( He says this, but his portrait looks really sad and conflicted... also despite felix hating dimitri, i really believe he cares the most about dimitri (among the childhood friends). Because he never turned a blind eye or he saw his pain and how it changed him drastically.

@@ShinoaKoucho Yeah CF may have been an unglamorous route cutscene wise (seriously why is there no proper cutscene for the timeskip in CF what is this disrespect) but the lines from the students just before and immediately after the skip...hurt me. Felix acknowledging his own "boar"-like tendancies dug particularly deep, especially since I picked BL in my first playthrough. Still, every time Felix called Dimitri a boar my mind would scream "No, you idiot! You're only giving him a convenient label to hide behind when he innevitably snaps! Hostility and force don't change depressed minds; they can only solidify the feeling of worthlessness and reaffirm twisted self-analyses!" If only medieval fantasy worlds knew anything at all about psychology...

It's a 50/50 between Claude and Raphael for sure

@@troIIdier The only reason Raphael is mentally stable is because he doesn't even have enough brain cells to know what mental stability is. Lol.

fortunately, this is the meanest thing he will ever say to dedue..You can avoid this from happening if you agree with dedue (+support pts too) if you answer "you should rest" I only chose the other option here just to show how much he's becoming irritable with his progressing headaches :(

@@ShinoaKoucho This is a bad localization, the original dialogue is just him complaining dudue acting like his mother with a joking tone.

@@shirleyg171 woah you're right. I checked out 1:38 his portrait isnt angry

That's mistranslated. In original JP text he joked "Dedue you're sounding like you're my mum". JP version Dimitri is all about being eerily cheerful in the last 2 months before TS……

The other replies are right. In the original Dimitri said something like "who are you, my mom? lol". And this is just another reason to hate the localisation, along with so many other dialogue that they changed for absolutely no reason, or apparently "pc" reasons. While things often gets lost in translation, there are often better ways to phrase them and they somehow picked the terrible ones (I'm actually tempted to make a blog post just to list all the weird stuff they did lol). the others I let slide but NOT THIS ONE.

i feared for byleths life too but if there's one thing we can confirm from this compilation, he threatens Byleth and everyone but never actually harms any of you. During the thief/rat hunting, he's eager to kill all and tells you to not let any escape. (..but bruh if you experienced hard or maddening XD sometimes you kinda let them escape) i was surprised he doesn't blame you and get mad at you for it .

More like: Sasuke's unrelated counterpart going mad with vengance.

Fearing for Dimitri's sanity? You cannot fear something that doesn't exists

Smells like Boar in here

"I called it guys, I told you so! But noooo, 'stop being a Sasuke, Felix!'"

Felix: "But this is none of my business~" (sips especially bitter Almyran Pine Needles tea) Sylvain and Ingrid: (double facepalm)

Felix while drinking tea: "yep... s**t's gonna go down".

To me, Mercedes' smile seems... fixed. More a grimace. Like that "this is fine" meme. Dimitri's losing it in center stage, and Mercedes is all, 'This is fine, please let this be fine -- oh goddess this isn't fine.' Which adds another dimension once you finish her paralogue. [Spoilers] Dimitri isn't the only young man with a downward spiral she feels responsible for.

LITERALLY SAMEEE

They’re all trying to silently signal “send help he needs it” lmao Help this kid and his homies

Don't forget Chris Hackney's phenomenal performance. I deadass forgot for a split second on a few occasions that Dimitri was a video game character and not an actual teenager who was actually furious as all hell.

Claude took all of Dimitri & Edelgard's chill XD

Shinoa Koucho facts

@@ShinoaKoucho and he still had to borrow more, I wonder who else? Probably everyone in twsitd.

In the post-timeskip Dedue says "He has always had too much compassion for the dead and the weak" to be a king, but later he says that "It is also why I choose to follow him".

this is also why I love crimson flower Felix. In this route, He admits that he has become like the boar. He's one of the people (if not the most) who understands Dimitri especially his dark side. He also shows the most emotion in this route :(

Don't get me started we he engages battle with Dimitri, That conversation was just as unbearable to listen to as Mercedes and Annette.

I have such a hard time recruiting Felix. It makes sense (and he's an amazing unit), but all his non-AM endings are so miserable, and you can tell how much he regrets his actions.

@@toriwork8891 not if you pair him with bernie, the worst thing that happens to him then is involuntary bondage.

@@michaualtington He gets along very well with Annette too ^_^ Happily ever after at the monastery in VW!

He does it in his support with Sylvain. "You're out late, Sylvain. Is it safe to assume you've been wildly carousing with women? I'm afraid that behavior simply will not do."

@@Fulgore2005 Dimitri is just salty cuz his bedroom shares a wall with Sylvain at the academy. Dimitri knows what happens in that bedroom.

So you think Dimitri killed some Empire Younglings during the timeskip.

Maybe if they were thieves, or as he called them, rats.

Same, and that’s the perfect example for perfect game design…

i noticed her/his dialogue choices reflect their personality. There are 2 sides to byleth: the cold responses (ashen demon) & the kinder ones (academy byleth)

true! many people often miss that part!! (i put in another compilation because i found its funny) its funny to me because at first, Byleth is the one who wants to charge in. his support ups but he stops you. then they mention duscur, this time its him who wants to go out there lol

☠️☠️☠️

😭😭😭😭😭

I really am glad there wasn't a $20 "best possible route" DLC for this game like Revelations for Fates. Aside from Claude, you really can only save one of these Lords, and while the Silver Snow/Verdant Wind paths really are better for Fodlan in the long run since you dismantle the dubstep mole people... it always feels like you could have done more. You can save Fodlan, but not Dimitri, who arguably needs salvation more than anyone.

What about Dedue tho

@@scaredandconfused2743 Dedue needs a hug too

@@scaredandconfused2743 Did you mean: Dedue needs a hug too? Or: Dedue can hug Dimitri? Because either way, the answer is yes!

if you recruited Sylvain in CG, what you said is almost exactly what he said about Dimitri. He says Dimitri gets really really scary when he's mad.

fortunately someone in the comments section pointed out this is a localization/mistranslation problem. Watch the scene again and look at his portrait. It doesnt match his tone of voice. It was meant to be a in a disturbed joking tone its kinda a bit out of character for Dimitri. He never once mistreated dedue so it really doesnt make sense. Dedue dying is even one of the reasons for him going insane.

I think the line is less referring to his position as prince, and more dedue telling him to disobey his family.

yeah I wish they hadn't changed the translation on that one.

@@ShinoaKoucho And Dedue returning is one of the earliest signs that Dimitri's original self is still in there deep down.

the localisation is a bit iffy, the og japanese text had him be overly cheery in the two months before the flame emporer reveal. he was actually saying "who are you, my mom?", which is much more light hearted and jokey

This is what foreshadowing is all about

@@TheJaredPunch The whole point of foreshadowing is to be subtle about it lol

@@ThiefofCrystals well not all of that is created equal. It was just when would Dimitri actually reach the breaking point

Felix I think

I am so happy you are better now. And I am so happy that friend of yours helped you. Really, your comment almost made me cry.

Thank you for sharing your story! I'm so glad that the Blue Lions route could speak to you on that level.

Glad to see I’m not the only one who relates to Dimitri. The way he processes his grief harkens back to how I processed my own when I was younger. His portrayal of survivor’s guilt is damn near perfect in accuracy.

lol yeah me too 😂 i can feel her sense of urgency to find something to give him

i was looking for chamomile tea but forgot it cant be given as a gift XD

@@ShinoaKoucho You can give him one of the chesse, since he likes them maybe it calm him xD

chapter 10 for me was pretty much “no I should be saying that to you-*wait no*”

"I'm fine!", Dimitri said calmly.

I love him too

She has a point, but she's still a puppet for the evil mole people due to being told a falsified history by them. Apart of what she's doing can be considered heroic, but ultimately she's only one because the victor ends up writing history. Otherwise, she needs to be offed for the greater good TWSITD is a bunch of psychotic mole people that have been the root of a lot of problems both in the past and present. They've orchestrated many rhings manipulating them for their own gain while destroying the surface world, and they got nukes. Similar to Edelgard, Nemesis is used by them to kill their opposers which are dragons akin to gods. They're both responsible for the genocide of two races. They're absolutely villains. The church, one of the lesser evils, falsified history and forcing only that for centuries. They've deliberately stopped technological advancement, enfoece a class system that results in Edelgard's war among other issues, and is very zealous in exterminating those that oppose their beliefs. All of this is led by a person with severe mommy issues. It's quite telling when even if they still remain it is noted how they undergo several changes. Two of these are gray, but all of them are still evil in some way. There is definitely a villain.

Amen. That man is the Top husbando and leader of all time.

Ironically Dimitri gets the least done in his route

@@cheesecheese6459 not really, it is said he made a new fodland and changed the system.

me too! i honestly never choose this response most of the time because one thing i noticed about dimitri is that he responds well/better (support pts up) if you go with the kinder responses. Like choosing "are you ok?" instead of "what's wrong with you?" but at this point in the story, he's too far gone for that. But he still responds better if you say "we're in this together"

@@ShinoaKoucho Yeah I originally chose those answers, But I went back into the replay menu to hear the other response because I was intrigued.

they're both amazing characters ❤ Claude is the most chill of the three and the most reasonable. Dimitri, his extreme sense of justice becomes too warped that he kills in cold blood....but at least, in the end he changes his mind and becomes compassionate again (but only in azure moon ☹️)

Claude wants to defeat the CEO of racism

Augusto Kenji Hirata I mean you’re not wrong

@DarkEternal6 Except that's wrong. Edelgard is the initiator of the war in every single route.

@DarkEternal6 He wanted to kill Edelgard because she started the war. You can't claim that Claude and Dimitri would have started a bloody war for any reason. And the idea that the sword of the creator would be used for a war when he is literally the smallest territory is dumb. There are hundreds of reasons to use the sword other than an all out war. Don't project Edelgard's ambitions onto them.

"hey you're finally awake"
