People say Narwa murdered Ibushi, but I always interpreted it as a beaten Ibushi offering what's left of his power to Narwa in order to ensure that she had the strength continue their plan and to keep her safe.

The fact an elder dragon or magnamalo joins you mid quest was so hype, i mean, you are so used to see other human hunters join you with a hunter call, except this time something like that happened and it was an elder dragon. And not just that they consider this such a threat to themselves they feel obliged to fight alongside you. If this can happen in front of ones eyes, outside of riders history, imagine how chaotic and awesome other places can be, where there are elders or other apex predator monsters fighting for territory and dominion. Pretty sure if techonolgy made it possible, we could see somthing like this when fighting with shagaru, except shagaru is so dangerous cuz of apex virus.

Can't wait until the word "simp" stops being thought of as its own punchline so that people can appreciate this beautiful moment for what it is.

16:45 OH MY LORD THIS IS AMAZING👏👏👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏💯💯💯👌👌

since is canon that these dragons speak throuth the twins i imagine them in the village singing omminously while this fight happens.. with glowing eyes and everything.. pretty eerie

Beating Allmother with the long sword you get from Fugen is a different feeling entirely, especially with Rise's godlike proof of a hero rendition. Truly make me feel like anime and that is what makes rise probably my favorite monster hunter

This became my new number one final boss fight in this franchise. Everything feels like the final episode of an anime's last ever season to me, and the climax is jawdropping!

These three songs show just how much love and attention to detail the devs paid to this game’s music. You can clearly only hear one vocalist in Ibushi’s theme and a different one in Narwa’s, but during Allmother Narwa, the two join together for one epic song. The music reflects these two monsters coming together for one final showdown. Not only that, and this is purely speculation because I haven’t done this research yet , the vocalist for Ibushi sounds like the vocalist for the Kamura theme, which is where Hinoa, who resonates with Ibushi, is located. The same is true with the vocalist for Narwa and the Gathering Hub theme, which is of course where Minoto, who resonates with Narwa, is located. Hinoa and Minoto even sing their respective location songs in the Rise title screen. I’m wondering if that’s an implication that Hinoa and Minoto are the ones singing this song, but it shows the connection between Hinoa and Minoto and Ibushi and Narwa perfectly as is. The composers didn’t need to go this hard when making this music, but they did, and I personally wouldn’t have it any other way. No other song gives me goosebumps like this one does.

Finally a medley of all these amazing themes

"Where is my queen? Where is my queen? I am storm incarnate, i sha'll whipe the land clean! So we may meet at last, in paradise unseen!" *the breath of ire, wind serpent ibushi.* "My king, o my king..come fourth with haste. With my elegant lightning, let us lay this land to waste. Tear apart the skies, rend the clouds asunder. Pace the road to paradise, with hurricane and thunder." *the lady of lightning, thunder serpent narwa.* "Divine beasts, with grace replete. Finally, the twain sha'll meet." "My queen, my queen, smite the earth with your thunder!" "My king, my king, let storm tear the clouds asunder." "With hurricane and thunder, we sear and slice. "For we are architects of true paradise." "Let us form our final bond, to rule the world and all beyond." *the source of the rampage, ibushi and narwa.*

Yknow there's very few games out there who's song can make me cry. That just shows the talent of these people

Imagine a remastered version of ceadeus in a future update or game, with a remastered orchesta and chorus, oh, that would be a dream coming alive

Dude the transition from Narwa's theme to the Allmother is amazing

This was definitely the best part about Rise. It was an INCREDIBLE boss fight, extremely memorable and fun. I really enjoyed going through Narwa by myself.

I love Ibushi's theme... Thanks for the medley!

That moment when you realize All Ibushi and Narwa wanted to do was make a safe place for their young, and when Narwa becomes the Allmother she is not only fighting for her own life, but to ensure the survival of her offspring and to avenge Ibushi

The rearrengement of Proof of a Hero in Rise is just something i'll never shake off me. I'm used to the theme playing during huge moments in MH games and it's always something that sends shivers of pleasure down my spine, but when it hits here in this fight, in the rearranged version it is just something else

In terms of antagonists, they are almost on par with Shagaru Magala. Two amazing monsters.

R.I.P Ibushi True Simplord until the end

Ibushi: My Queen! Narwa: My King! Ibushi: My Queen! Narwa: My King! Ibushi: My Queen! Narwa: My dinner! >:) Ibushi: Eh...? ._.

Monster Hunter the game where the monster's theme slaps just as hard as the monsters themselves

I love this. And I love how every final boss theme always has Proof of A hero them in it.

Listening to this while it storms hard af outside my house hits different

its so interesting they decided to give magnet powers to ibushi and narwa

I love the use of sectioning the video👏

These are the 2 craziest monsters in the main series, hands down

He’s back! Thanks for the melodies especially this one! Man I love their themes only time I’ve ever wanted proof of a hero to not play

Ngl Ibushi and Narwa is one of the most awesome things I have ever experienced in gaming, it was fantastic through and through, a complete absolutely perfect experience. The music was insanely good, even more amazing when you notice that the vocals for Ibushi + Narwa themes are symbolically sang by Hinoa and Minoto. Also in the solo songs, the verse parts have an awkward pause as if they were supposed to be a duet, but the other voice is not there, the music brilliance put into this game is astounding.

*MH Lore: Thunder Serpent Narwa* "Name: Thunder Serpent Narwa (ナルハタタヒメ) Title: Thunder God Dragon (雷神龍)/Lady of Lightning/Serpent Goddess of Thunder Length: 3875.05cm Height: 1905.02cm Order: Elder Dragon Suborder: Deity Dragon Family: Unknown Habitats: Unknown" "Split the heavens with bolts of ruin and rend the land." "Bathe the land in lightning, and bring about the end." "Usher in the end of all life, rebirth it through furious thunder." "Destroy all, that life may spring anew from its ashes." "Annihilate this world that it may begin anew." "After Wind Serpent Ibushi is repelled in the Red Stronghold, it seemed that the Rampage was finally over, but one unanswered question remained... "Who was his queen?"" "Not long after Wind Serpent Ibushi is repelled, a particularly large Rakna-Kadaki suddenly appears in the Lava Caverns, and Minoto begins to act strange. It is soon discovered that another Rampage seemed to be coming, not from Wind Serpent Ibushi but rather his mate. Like her sister, Minoto had resonated with an elder dragon, and this elder dragon is known as Thunder Serpent Narwa, the Thunder God Dragon." "Identified by her two magnificent horns and yellow shell, Thunder Serpent Narwa is the female counterpart of Wind Serpent Ibushi. While he controls the wind and air, she controls thunder and lightning. This female elder dragon's exact habitat range is unknown, but she has long been a part of the region's history." "Before humans populated the Shrine Ruins, there were numerous monster species (Arzuros, Izuchi, Aknosom, Bishaten, Zinogre, Mizutsune, Almudron) living in that unspoiled land. One of the other inhabitants, who was unseen, was Thunder Serpent Narwa (Likely not the story one). This particular Thunder Serpent Narwa had long been dormant in the area for some time. When she eventually woke up, her thunderous presence scared away all the monsters that lived within the Shrine Ruins, making it possible for humans to inhabit the land. Decades later, Wind Serpent Ibushi's gales brought those monsters back to the Shine Ruins, ravaging the land that the humans had cultivated for years." "Thunder Serpent Narwa's overall body frame, shape, and characteristics are the same as Wind Serpent Ibushi's, but there are some differences between the two." Much like Ibushi, Narwa has thick, highly elastic skin covering much of her body, but, unlike Ibushi, her skin is well insulated, and this is due to the large amounts of electricity that flows throughout her body. While Ibushi uses the special gas produced in his "windsacs" for flight, Narwa uses the electric currents produced in her "thundersacs" for flight." "Narwa has seven thundersacs on her body that she uses to generate and store electricity (One on her head, one on both forelimbs, one on her tail, one on her abdomen, one on her back, and one on her chest). The electricity generated and stored within her thundersacs also produces a powerful magnetic field that allows Narwa to float or fly in the air without wings. Those organs will glow intensely when they store large amounts of electrical energy." "Covering much of her body are dozens of tentacles that generate static electricity. When the tentacles rub together, they produce a powerful electrical charge that clads Narwa in golden lightning, allowing her to unleash that electricity from her body in a variety of ways." "Narwa constantly generates a large amount of electricity in and on her body, affecting the environment around her (Basically, she "repels" herself off the ground, much like two magnets repelling each other)." "Her body generates so much electricity that even touching her can be fatal (Any creature that touches her will be severely burnt by the electricity coursing through her veins)." "When Narwa is around, objects will randomly float around the area, and a thunderous storm will cover the sky in golden lightning. Compared to Ibushi, Narwa was more eager to mate, and she was greatly angered when she heard her mate's sorrowful cries. Although Narwa stays in one place during the mating season, her presence can be felt from afar, not only by Ibushi but by other creatures." "When Ibushi was repelled, she made her presence known and shook multiple ecosystems with her thunderous roar, leading to the continuation of the Rampage. When her location was discovered, the Guild sent hunters to handle her, but that hunting party was decimated by her. Rather than sending another group of hunters to slay her, the Guild sent the "Fierce" to permanently take care of her." "Narwa chose the Coral Palace, a forgotten fortress that seems to have come out of the sea, as her nesting spot, and the Fierce went there alone on a small boat to face her. The Coral Palace is on an isolated island surrounded by a wind-swept sea." "Narwa has outstanding abilities that some consider greater than Ibushi's. As mentioned above, she can release powerful electrical shocks from her entire body, and she does so in a variety of ways. She can release streams of electricity from her thundersacs, and she uses the dozens of tentacles on her body like "limbs" to manipulate large amounts of electricity at will. She can also expel powerful electrical blasts from her mouth." "When she becomes enraged, her body will produce more electricity, further enhancing the strength of her attacks. The more enraged Narwa becomes, the more electricity her body will produce, meaning her attacks will become more powerful and unpredictable." "Hunters can use those magnetized objects to their advantage while hunting Narwa. Damaging her thundersacs will dispel some of the electricity she has built in her body, weakening her abilities. She'll fall to the ground if most of her thundersacs are damaged. The thundersac on her abdomen is especially sensitive, and electricity will violently explode in her body if that particular thundersac is heavily damaged in combat." " When pushed to her limit, Narwa truly shows her destructive capabilities. Narwa will pierce the heavens and earth with her divine lightning, bringing death and destruction to the land. Reference: mythopedia.com/topics/raijin " "Although Narwa has destructive abilities, she may also be a bringer of life. Deep in the underground caves of the Lava Caverns, the skeleton of a Narwa can be found. This individual chose that locale as her nest spotting, but she died before an Ibushi could discover her location. This Narwa likely died due to old age or some other factor. Many volcanoes surround the Lava Caverns, but not many creatures (Monsters and endemic life) can be found inhabiting them. However, many creatures can be found inhabiting the Lava Caverns, and this is due to the immense energy left behind by that Narwa. Her energy created a biodiverse ecosystem, an ecosystem that the Guild is keeping tabs on." "The hide protects her from thunder attacks and makes lightning strikes feel like bug bites. Flesh-singeing electricity courses through her carapace. Her claws can slice would-be attackers and alter the surrounding terrain." *"Narwa's horns can shoot out bolts of lightning when swung (This isn't really shown in-game, but the horns do shoot out lightning).* The "Thunder Serpent Orb" is a rare jewel that forms inside of Narwa's thundersac. This jewel shimmers with the ire of lightning, and it is said that its holders can tame thunder. It is also that it'll unleash a blinding lightning strike when exposed to the outside air. The Thunder Serpent Orb is thought to be the true source of Narwa's power." "When chaos rocks the world, it appears to help guide mankind." "Soar among the lightning to crush all calamity." "Shake the spent world with dominion over the halo of souls." "The raging and roaring thunderbolts of the Allmother are revered and worshipped." "Even if the world falls to ruin, this strength shall shape the next." " Sources: 1.

A very anticipated vid, thank you so much for making this! A little sad you missed out on the Allmother Instrumental (set the Allmother to your base theme and go to your room or set it to the hub and go to the smithy/housekeeper area) BUT that being said thanks again for taking the time to make this

Cannot wait for Rise pc release so I can finally fight these magnificent beasts myself

Allmother's theme is my favorite 😍

16:26 that moment when the music hypes you up so much you become Levi while using dual blades

These themes sound like capcom was listening to a few final fantasy music directors and made these masterpieces of boss themes.

Love this! This two have to be some of my favorite elders dragons, right next to the Gore Magala and Shagaru Magala

I have a theory it's about narwa after merginging with ibushi was going through 5 stages of depression

I am hoping these two return in some form in the master rank story like Xeno returned as an adult Safi.

I have a somewhat scary headcanon about Allmother Narwa. I believe that you got lucky in finding Ibushi and Narwa when you did. By being forced to drain the life of an Ibushi at death's door and then immediately be thrown into battle, Allmother Narwa was nowhere near full potential, and could be beaten with High Rank gear. _Master Rank_ Allmother Narwa, fought in Sunbreak's postgame, is the true power of the Allmother state - she's what happens when a Narwa gets to chow down on a _healthy_ Ibushi and have time to get used to her improved elemental powers. She could even be an older, more experienced Narwa that successfully completed the breeding cycle many times, meaning the High Rank one we fought was a relatively young individual that maybe had one successful breeding cycle under her belt.

These are some great themes, thanks for the medley! I love the titles you’re doing for them now, super cool

YES! Thank you so much for this!

I was waiting for this one ! Amazing medley as usual.

Hope one day we have an ultimate medley of those two with the japanese versions included to the original and instrumental versions. Like going first original than instrumental followed with the japanese and so on

What I like about things two is there the rise emblem logo.

Wow thanks for this Hearing all these themes in one go was definitely worth it Such beautiful themes

I dont know wtf they are singing but i fucking love it

Perfect selection for a perfect battle

Yeah I love both of them!!!

*MH Lore: Narwa the Allmother* "Name: Narwa the Allmother (百竜ノ淵源ナルハタタヒメ) Title: Thunder God Dragon (雷神龍)/Source of the Rampage Length: 3875.05cm Height: 1905.02cm Order: Elder Dragon Suborder: Deity Dragon Family: Unknown Habitats: Unknown" "Ibushi and Narwa were ultimately defeated by the "Fierce," and it seemed that the Rampage had finally ended. Ibushi was repelled in the Stronghold (It was assumed that he would eventually die from his injuries), while Narwa fell into a deep crater and presumably died." "After Narwa was defeated, the Guild sent out scouts to find and recover her body, but she was nowhere to be found..." "During Kamura's celebration, Ibushi and Narwa once again resonated with Hinoa and Minoto. Wind Serpent Ibushi and Thunder Serpent Narwa were very much alive, and they were ready to destroy the land so they could bring forth the next generation of Storm Serpents." "Both serpents had retreated for now to recover from their injuries (Ibushi's injuries were more serious), and while they did remain hidden for quite some time, their presence could still be felt across the land by other monsters." "During this reprieve period, Ibushi and Narwa's activities caused numerous powerful monsters to start appearing (Apex Monsters and Elder Dragons) in the region. What would happen if those two actually met each other?" "Ibushi hid somewhere around the Coral Palace after his battle in the Stronghold (He stayed there for quite a while as he recovered from his injuries), and Narwa went there to find him (Chances are Narwa might've been protecting Ibushi during that first fight in the Coral Palace)." "Ibushi and Narwa had reunited before the Guild could find them, meaning it was only a matter of time before the land was filled with the next generation of Storm Serpents. The Fierce was asked to face off against the duo one more to end the Rampage, once and for all." "Ibushi and Narwa had mated before anyone could find their current location. While Narwa was hiding in her nest as she prepared to lay her eggs, Ibushi was flying around guarding her and the nest." "Although Ibushi had time to recover from his injuries, he was still greatly weakened after that battle at the Stronghold (That's why he goes down so easily during the Allmother quest). Ibushi fought through the pain to protect his mate and his unborn offspring, but he was too weak to overcome the Fierce's onslaught." "After sustaining a large amount of damage from the Fierce, Ibushi fell out of the sky and into Narwa's nest. Ibushi failed to protect his mate and young... He didn't have enough strength to continue fighting, so he made a tough decision. Seemingly, Ibushi told Narwa to devour him and take his powers, and she did what he asked (Whether he really did that or not is up to interpretation). The two became the one known as "Allmother"." "Narwa the Allmother is a Variant of Narwa that came to be after Thunder Serpent Narwa devoured Wind Serpent Ibushi. While Ibushi is the first line of defense against enemies, Narwa is the last line of defense. Ibushi couldn't protect his family from danger, so Narwa sucked out his body fluids and made his power her own. Narwa did this as last ditch effort to protect herself and their offspring (Both serpents just wanted their young, and their young's young, to prosper in the world)." "Throughout MHRise's story, it was the mating season for Ibushi and Narwa, and both were quite moody during this period, especially Narwa. She was angry when Ibushi was seriously wounded in the Stronghold, and she was furious when the Fierce invaded her nest (She was going to lay her eggs soon, but we interrupted her)." "Because she was close to laying her eggs, she was more aggressive than usual (Lore wise, that's why Narwa the Allmother attacks more aggressively compared to Thunder Serpent Narwa. She's desperately trying to protect her young)." "As Narwa absorbs Ibushi's power, her overall coloration will change due to his immense energy combining with her own. Ibushi and Narwa are the Source of the Rampage, and when their powers combine, they become the Allmother (Two become one = a being with the traits of both)." "Noticeably, the appearance of Narwa's thundersacs changes after she absorbs Ibushi's energy. Like Ibushi, Narwa has windsacs on her body, but those sacs have degenerated over time and have become vestigial at best." "However, those windsacs became active again after she absorbed Ibushi's energy. Not only can Narwa the Allmother manipulate lightning, but she can also manipulate wind like her mate. Ibushi's energy also greatly boosted her already outstanding electrical abilities." "The Fierce reported seeing round orbs inside of the thundersac on Narwa the Allmother's abdomen, and those orbs are her eggs. When Narwa is close to laying her eggs, she'll move them to her abdomen (The thundersac on her abdomen doubles as an egg sac)." "Because her body produces so much electrical energy, the thundersac on her abdomen produces an immense amount of light, making that part transparent. When she devours Ibushi, his energy will explosively activate the eggs (Sparks life within them. His energy influences the eggs)." "Like Thunder Serpent Narwa, Narwa the Allmother has outstanding electrical abilities, and Ibushi's energy has made those abilities more extraordinary. Because of his energy, Narwa has gained some new powerful attacks, including a few wind-based attacks. Like the standard Thunder Serpent Narwa, Narwa the Allmother's power will gradually increase as she becomes more enraged." "Narwa the Allmother is the strongest monster in the Kamura Region, standing above all other monsters (Pinnacle of all Life/Apex). She has no equals (Not counting Crimson Glow Valstrax, Apex Diablos, Apex Zinogre, etc.), and no other monster can hope to match her abilities." "Her abilities are in the realm of legend, making her one of a kind. When Narwa devoured Ibushi and gained his energy, numerous monsters, including other elder dragons, in the surrounding area suddenly headed to her location. Those monsters were either drawn to her immense power or came together to try to kill her and end the Rampage (The monsters are also victims of the Rampage)." "Some of the monsters that appeared in the Coral Palace include Magnamalo, Kushala Daora, Teostra, and Malzeno. While it's unknown why those monsters suddenly showed up, they did help the Fierce overcome Narwa the Allmother's immense strength. This sudden barrage of attacks from the monsters and the hunter further angered Narwa the Allmother, causing her to show off her true power. She'll do whatever it takes to protect her and Ibushi's lineage. While Narwa the Allmother did put up a good fight, she was ultimately slain by the Fierce. Thus the Rampage had finally come to an end!" "Her ultramarine and golden yellow scales collide like the sky and lightning. Her horns dominate the dancing gales and earth-splitting thunder. Those who carry one of her horns will be protected from misfortune." "Within the "Orb of Origin" dances father wind and mother lightning (There was a rumor that this material was Narwa's eggs, but there's nothing that confirms this)." "Note: Wind Serpent Ibushi, Thunder Serpent Narwa, and Narwa the Allmother were recently discovered, so there are some things still unknown about them." "Sources : 1.

came back here after sunbreak's final boss. really miss the base game's soundtracks.

Sounds like something out of Nier.

I love Ibushi Theme,TYSM Dravonista

You certainly went crazy today

I do love and appreciate all your medleys, Dravonista (seriously how have I not found your channel before???), I just think for this one you should have avoided the direct fade-in to the next songs. The pieces of the different monsters here just don't really work together like that (it sounds great for the instrumental to vocal ones though). A moment of fade to silence between the separate monster themes would work better here. Thanks a TON for the work you do, though--I've been sending friends "their" monster themes and found your Amatsu vid with the Roar first for one of them, which I've been DYING to have all together.

Good shit as always my dude

Fatalis: "hmm it seems as there are 2 idiotic serpents trying to destroy the world...hmph, the hunters can deal with this, i'm too lazy to leave my castle"

YES FINALLY THANK YOU PAL

Ibushi : "I would give my life to protect you my queen !" Narwa : "You would give your life to protect me, wouldn't you ?" Ibushi : "Yes, that's what I said, why ?" Narwa : "But was that what you meant ?" Ibushi : "Uuuuh..."

Monster Hunter's language is truly beautiful.

amazing mix

Fun fact the Two Gods of the Heaven and the Archdemon of the Abyss have very similar physiology (I think that's the right word) vistigial back legs, segmented jaws. They bring great calamity where they go.

You do amazing work!

Beautifull 🤩

1:03 7:17 13:53

Fun Fact: Listen carefully to the double-tracked vocals at 13:53. One is singing the melody from 1:03 in Ibushi's theme, while the other is singing the melody from 7:17 in Narwa's theme. While very cool and all that, I can hear a little dissonance during these parts.

Came back to this theme after soloing master rank allmother

*MH Lore: Wind Serpent Ibushi* "Name: Wind Serpent Ibushi (イブシマキヒコ) Title: Wind God Dragon (風神龍)/Breath of Ire/Serpent God of Wind Length: 3068.8cm Height: 1263.82cm Order: Elder Dragon Suborder: Deity Dragon Family: Unknown Habitats: Unknown" "Bring down your rage upon the firmament and engulf all." "Encompass all in a storm of chaos, and let none escape." "Unleash an incarnation of pure terror that none can resist." "Chase the living as the embodiment of ruin." "Wreak ultimate calamity unto this plane." "The Rampage has been plaguing the Kamura Region since ancient times, and no one could ever guess why hordes of monsters would start attacking villages. Some had speculated that Magnamalo was the cause of the Rampage, but there was no indication that it could make so many monsters flee at once. Something else was hiding behind the Rampage..." "Sometime later, fifty years after the last calamity that befell Kamura, there are signs of another Rampage approaching. The people of Kamura, including a hunter known as the "Fierce," prepare to face this mysterious phenomon once again." "Not long after the Rampage begins, the Fierce takes down Magnamalo and helps the village overcome numerous monster hordes, including ones led by Apex Monsters. With the help of the Fierce, Kamura Village is able to push back the rampaging monsters." ""How long will the Rampage last?" "Why does it keep occurring every few decades?" "Is this just nature at work or something supernatural?"" "One day, not long after a monster horde led by an Apex Arzuros is repelled, a mysterious blue monster suddenly appears in the sky and resonates with Hinoa. Where is my queen? Where is my queen?"" "While the monster has never been witnessed before, it's thought to be some kind of elder dragon. After its sudden appearance, the Guild begins a full investigation. Soon they find an answer and conclude that this monster is not only connected to the Rampage but is also the cause of it. This monster is known as Wind Serpent Ibushi, the Wind God Dragon." "An elder dragon that soars through the sky as if it was swimming through the sea, Wind Serpent Ibushi can be identified by its blue shell and massive horns." "This male elder dragon's exact habitat range is unknown, but he has been reported in various locales during Rampages. He has long been a part of the region's history, but no one knew of his existence until recently." "In the past, there was a civilization living within the Shrine Ruins. The Shrine Ruins was previously inhabited by gods (monsters), but a divine lightning (Thunder Serpent Narwa) scared away the gods, making it the perfect place for humans to inhabit." "A few decades later, wicked gales (Wind Serpent Ibushi) swept across the Shrine Ruins, bringing gods back to the land that the humans now claimed. The gods scared away the humans, and nature once again nurtured the tainted land." "This legend has been passed down in Kamura Village for many years, and sadly Kamura Village, as well as other villages, got to experience this legend firsthand for hundreds of years." "Divine lightning and wicked gales swept across the land, bringing numerous gods and a hellfire beast (Magnamalo) to Kamura Village." "Wind Serpent Ibushi is an unusual elder dragon with some bizarre adaptations. From a distance, he looks like a "flying seahorse" (Conceptually, that's what they were going with)." "His body is covered in thick, highly elastic skin that is rigid enough to repel blades yet flexible like rubber. Ibushi needs this kind of skin due to the several gills found on his body that he uses for flight." "Ibushi's gills are called "windsacs", and he uses them to produce and store a special gas that's lighter than air. He'll expel this gas (Air/Wind) from his windsacs to create sparkling updrafts that he'll use to help him float or fly in the sky." " The windsacs inflate when they're filled with gas but deflate when they expel it. While "swimming" through the sky, Ibushi looks like a leviathan or some kind of god. Reference: mythopedia.com/topics/fujin " "Ibushi spends much of his time in the air, likely the reason why he wasn't discovered until recently. Like other elder dragons, Ibushi is rarely ever seen, but that changes during the mating season (Which seems to occur every fifty years or so)." "Not long after he was discovered, his female counterpart, Thunder Serpent Narwa, was found as well. During the mating season, Narwa will choose a place to nest, and Ibushi will search for her nesting spot in order to mate with her." "He will fly through numerous locales in search of her, tearing apart the land as he searches for his "queen" (Obviously, there is more than one Ibushi and Narwa since they are a species. If our Ibushi looked hard enough, he probably would've eventually found another Narwa)." "Once Ibushi finds Narwa, a storm of wind and lightning will occur as they converge (That's their beautiful yet very destructive mating ritual). Once they mate, Ibushi will fly around and guard the nest, much like Rathalos, while Narwa hides in her nest and prepares to lay eggs." "Wind Serpent Ibushi and Thunder Serpent Narwa are the source of the Rampage, particularly Ibushi. As Ibushi goes to various locales in search of Narwa, he'll rip apart the land with his powerful gales, which can best be described as a hurricane (Breath of Ire)." "Ibushi's storm, as well as his echoing roar, will cause numerous monsters to flee into other areas, including villages. In reality, the Rampage is a mass migration caused by Ibushi as he looks for Narwa and the Apex Monsters are some of Ibushi's victims. While most monsters were able to escape Ibushi's storm, some of them weren't so lucky. Some of the monsters caught in Ibushi's storm managed to survive, growing stronger and becoming more aggressive after the experience. Apex Monsters now greatly fear storms and will tear through just about anything to avoid them, and other monsters can sense their raw rage and desperation." "As mentioned previously, Ibushi is capable of expelling that special gas from his windsacs. He'll often fire that gas (Draconic Wind) from his forelimbs and tail. The gas also violently circulates throughout his body, meaning he can breathe the draconic wind from his mouth as well. When the gas is compressed, Ibushi can even breathe a draconic wind beam." "Ibushi's gales are extremely powerful, capable of destroying much of the equipment in the Red Stronghold in an instant. The gales are shot out of his windsacs with tremendous force comparable to a cannon, making them quite deadly to get hit by." "When enraged, Ibushi's eyes and windsacs will glow red, indicating his immense rage. When faced with a threat, or gate, that he can't destroy, he'll use the gas around him to lift up several boulders. He'll use the currents generated by the gas to fire the boulders at targets." "With the help of his windsacs, Ibushi can freely fly wherever want he wants and attack however he wants. However, he needs to make sure each one of his windsacs is filled with enough gas. The windsacs are very delicate organs that can easily be damaged. If too many of them are deflated in battle, Ibushi will helplessly fall to the ground, leaving him open to attacks." "Noticeably, Ibushi has a second pair of jaws inside of his mouth. While his diet is unknown, he can potentially use those jaws to hold onto prey items. His skin is oddly hard, elastic, and lightweight." "Countless rock-hard spikes can be found on his skin, which he uses for protection against airborne threats. One swipe from his pointy claw disfigured the land with a gust-like blow. The Wind Serpent Orb shimmers with the rage of a typhoon, allowing its user to command storms." "A destructive deluge, heaven-sent, offering no possibility of salvation." "An atrocious maelstrom doling out a bitter end to all it swallows." "Manifest the horrors of the universe to make others quake with fear." "The embodiment of death for all living things. Its presence brings naught but despair." "The demise of the world ventures closer, an inescapable end." " Sources: 1.

Man, I love Narwa's theme. Some bits in her theme remind me of Batman: The Animated Series and Ratchet and Clank, two series that I am very fond of.

There was definitely an official orchestra version of the All Mother song. Seems that was taken down.

God it's so *HYPE*

Hm. Monster Hunter Rice.

I still want to see Ibushi if he absorbed Narwa’s powers, since he’s kinda more on the offensive side he’d be more agressive.

I'm very excited to listen to Falkkone versions of all 3 serpents melodies

🔥🔥

Kushala: wind funny The serpents: shut up, we shall wipe the land clean (Magnamlo jumpscare) amatsu: nah, i’d win

13:13 all I hear is "give me a 'nana"

Finally

Im just realising. People always say gaismagorm has similarities to the serpents. And while that is true VAAL HAZAAK shares some similarities too. The 2 mouths with the second one being bone. The pure yellow eyes. Maybe they share an ancestry

The Unkalos: That's a gods? 😂 Stupeh funny serpents! 😂

1:16 "oshan laene muni nemaou kse-o TYYYYLEEEEEENOOOL" Yes, Ibushi kinda painful, Tylenol doesn't help tho

Ibushi's instrumental theme plays when he breaks the first gate, right?

Narwas theme sortve reminds me of the divine dragons theme from sekiro

I was estatic that Magnamalo arrived in high rank to help me fight Narwa the Allmother. But I was elated that Malzeno showed up in master rank. I helped it with its turf war with Giasmagorm and it returned the favor. Plus it was slightly more satisfying with Malzeno.

am i the only person who wonders what the Narwa allmother's offspring would look like if she wasn't killed? just me?

Narwa and ibushi is not evil like fatalis. They only kill other creature so their kids can survive in this harsh land.

waiting for a narwa subspecies that use dragon lightning so white fatalis isnt so lonely

They may be a kind of Shantien wannabe, but they're still pretty cool.

I can feel their sadness their longness I can feel ibushi anger I can feel narwa motherly love I can feel all their emotion in the music.if u can understand the music u would understand what the music means

Meanwhile in castle schrade Fatalis: Is some motherfuqa using proof of a hero in there theme without my consent

1:03 13:53

Irritator 2023

This remembers me Gods Eater (the soundtrack) Is Mh becoming anime?!?

Narwa was easier than I expected due to the broken fighting stiles I believe the problem with rise is u know the wirebug

Offer yourself up to me, Tier 3 sub

i didnt like it how narwa killed ibushi at the end of the fight its just messed up

Slow this down to .25 speed for extra goodness. Trust me, it isn't cursed at all.

Hot take: beware Gonna be honest while it was a cool fight, it definitely didn't stand up to that of previous monsters, and while some say they couldn't fit a whole scale fight, it's a switch look at Gogmazios on the DS and Amatsu in GU for the switch. Narwa was cool with some of its moves taken from other monsters but it didn't feel like there was enough of a threat, you kinda just kill them bc they had so little story in the main quests. Other monsters actually showed their "power of the gods" and make it come across within the first two to three moves that you are all that stands between them and the world. Narwa may have that with its one move that blows up everything but it takes the whole fight to get there.

I love almothers theme but she is too predictable

Okay, honestly though, as much as the music slaps, the actual fight is so ass.

wtf, the worst themes made in MH saga ._.

Shame the fight itself is garbage
