Guy: "it starts with a y.." Cinematic: *says yasuo's name* Guy: *doesn't hear* Cinematic: 👁️👄👁️

Him talking over the old man as he's trying to remember Yasuos name is so good and hurt me so much cx

I love when this guy reacts to Leauge!!

That girl in the end is from the cinematic called A New Dawn, her name is Ahri.

4:58 drowns out the name he is searching for LOL

4:55 I KNOW THIS GUY, WHAT'S HIS NAME?! *Talks over and snaps his fingers as the Old Man says Yasuo's name*

lore shit ignore if dont care: So the Samurai center of the video (Yasuo) is Yone's younger brother, he was always reckless and impulsive while his older brother was more responsable, but he was also more talented than yone. The flashback he says "you got nothing to prove" it´s because Yone was already accepted in the temple that teachs the way of the blade and he didnt yet. The place where everything is happening is called "Ionia", its a kind of "asian inspired" place in the Leagues world, and being so there is a lot of ninjas, yokais, samurais, spirits, etc... There is one day each year in ionia where the spirit realm and the mortal realm get really close, close enough for the living to speak with the dead through flowers, this day is like an event called "spirit blossom", people go to certain places in ionia to gather this special flowers that can have the spirit of a loved one inside (when they blossom you can talk to them). Yone was killed by yasuo during an invasion where yasuo's duty was to protect the master of the temple while the other warriors fought the invaders (noxians), but yasuo thought that he should be in the fight, so he left the master and killed a bunch of noxians in some villages. When he got back the master was dead, everyone put the blame on him and he ran away to not get killed. Yone was after him and when he found him they fought and, as the cinematic shows, yasuo killed him. In the spirit realm there are spirits (duh) and Demons called "Azakana", the azakanas feed on negative emotions, they are like parasites (that old man was an azakana feeding of yasuo's guilt), when Yone died he didnt follow the right path and he ended up a place where one azakana appeared and tried to kill him or somthing, he managed to kill the azakan but in it's last attempt to live it leachs out into yone's body (the mask red mask is the face of that azakana). Because of this, yone cant rest his soul and is trapped between the realms, (but not even him knows how he could be amongst the living as he is, so he is basically hunting more azakanas to try to discover)

TODAY I WAS LIKE "WHY HAVENT YOU REACTED TO THIS YET" AND BOOOOOOYAAA HERE IT IS.

my favorite thing about watching your reactions is how you dont cut anything in the recording (for the most part) so we get your real reaction and your true feelings to whats going on and you dont just have a script ready to read in the back or anything or you dont watch it a head of time to know whats going to happen to have reactions ready or anything like that. keep up the good work!

Old man: "Why else would the Great Ya-" Chris: "It starts with a Y" Yasuo: "DUDE"

Remember the cinematic that you reacted called AWAKEN? So Yasuo was in there right? Based on the lore/story, he was not supposed to be there. Even in this cinematic his brother warned him to stay. Yasuo was supposed to be protecting Elder Souma, an elder who teaches him wind techniques (that's why Yasuo can make tornadoes). But Yasuo insist on fighting to defend Ionia (the "country" where the war takes place). This leads to the death of Elder Souma because a certain girl accidently killed him. Wanna know who? On the same AWAKEN cinematic, remember the girl who was fighting multiple man with a sword in an arena, her name is Riven, she was the one who killed Elder Souma, but not on purpose. However, Yasuo was accused of killing him because there was no witness and everybody expected him to be with Elder Souma so of course they thought he was the killer. Which is why Yasuo become a wanted man on Ionia. He had to kill his friends because it was "killed or be killed". In the end he faced his own brother as you can see in this cinematic. Ultimately he killed Yone, his own brother. There was another cinematic that "somewhat" show how his brother got revived back but anyway, his brother got back and then this cinematic happen. End of story

I love the timing when he's trying to remember Yasuo's name and said "Starts with the Y" at the same time the Old man said "Why else would the great Yasuo come"

I like how, when they were kids, they have an argument in land that was lively and bright. When they were young adults, at 32:40, it's evening and they're in a building, sparring/practice fighting. Finally, when they're men, they fight full-out in the dead land that was once beautiful, as well as in the night. Not only shows the passage of time, but shows that, perhaps, they were destined to fight all along.

Very small detail, but something I love. When Yasuo looks at his reflection for the first time, you can see the sword is stained and dirty, just like Yasuo's self image. When he goes into the river, he doesn't only cleanse himself, you can actually see the dirt coming of off his blade as well (the dark stuff at 30.09). At the end when Yasuo is on the boat, you can see him looking at his reflection again, this team with a clean sword and a clean self image

That older guy is demon azakana that feeds off human emotions he fed from yassuos emotions but yasuo protected him because he did not know he is a demon. Edit: go watch necrit for more lore explanation.

Him: So I give this cinematic an S Me: *satisfied uwus*

OMG YES I WAS WAITING FOR THIS

When I see Chris reacting to League Cinematics I slap a like automatically. You should watch "The Path, an Ionian Myth" to get the story between when Yasuo defeated Yone till when he re-awakened from the Spirit Realm. (Even though that reflects the legend of the Older and Younger Brother and not Yasuo and Yone directly, basically the same story).

Since you seem to enjoy it, here's some Lore for you, Chris (and anyone else interested )! I'll keep it short because I could gush on about this for pages- literally! The main characters featured in this cinematic where Yasuo, Yone and the Azakana Kuro'Sagol. Azakana are lesser demons that feed on negative emotions. After they've fed enough, they're able to become real demons. When Yasuo and Yone were children, the two were inseparable, and when Yone joined the village's famed sword school, Yasuo followed him and refused to leave until they let him join as well. He was taken on as the pupil of Elder Soma, the school's sole master of their legendary wind technique. Years later, when Noxus invaded Ionia, Yone and other members of the school left to aid in the war. Yasuo wished to join them but was ordered to stay behind and protect the elders. When a Noxian warhost made it's way to a neighboring village, Yasuo left his post to defeat them. When he returned, he found Elder Soma dead. He was slain by a wind technique. The village blamed Yasuo for this, most believing he had killed the elder himself. He left the village to clear his name and the village sent it's best swordsmen to "bring him to justice". Yasuo kept fleeing, cutting them down until he eventually found his brother at the end of his blade. He killed him, and in doing so spiraled into a pit of despair and depression. Filled with rage and regret, Yone was attacked by an Azakana soon after arrival in the spirit planes. This Azakana had been following him for quite some time, feeding on the negative emotions he experienced has he tracked Yasuo. Yone believed Yasuo's actions were a result of him straying off the proper path, a path he failed to properly lead him on as his older brother. The Azakana intended to devour him before he could find peace and reach the resting place of souls, but Yone defeated it. When he woke up, he found himself in the physical world with the Azakana's face as a mask affixed to his face. In time, Yone found if could learn the name of Azakana, he could seal them in masks (we saw him wearing them on his belt). So he set about hunting Azakana, hoping to eventually learn the name of his own. Yasuo on the other hand completely fell off the Wagon after killing Yone, hunted by it every waken moment. Which he solved by drinking and generally not being awake very often. To make a long arch short, Yasuo eventually recovered after mentoring a pupil of his own (and earth user, funnily enough), and in doing do learnt to respect his fallen mentor. When she left, he set about finding the true killer once again. His search eventually lead him back to his village. There, he had hoped to find revenge, but there he found Riven, living in secret on a farm with an old man and his wife. When master Soma had attempted to repair Riven's broken wind blade, it exploded, killing him the processes. Riven had felt intense remorse over this and lived in secret with the guilt every day. The village saw this and was able to forgive her. Despite clearing his name, Yasuo was unable to find his revenge. In the end, his brother had died by his hands for nothing. Yasuo eventually wandered to the Spirit blossom festival, a sacred event where the living are able to communicate with the dead, and that's more or less where the story begins. I omitted so many details to keep this concise and readable! Yasuo's sad relationship with the village, how he and Yone's relationship eventually become strained despite their love for each other, Taliya, the student he mentored, Riven's past and how she eventually found her way the village, Yone's refusal to face his past after waking up in the physical realm- there's so much to dig into!

12:46 its Ahri. She was also shown in the cinematic "A new dawn"

When Arcane finally gets released, I'll be here waiting for his react video

34:10 he choose to protect the monster because on his POV he didn’t know that the elder was transforming in a monster (Azakana), he saw a ghost attacking the elder, that’s why.

I advice u to react to "the path" It explains the travel of yone from dead's realm, and it's so cool

You should've watched "the Path to Ionian Myth" to understand your favorite "Dual Wielding" character why is his appearance is like that.

The girl in the end of the cinematic is Ahri. But I dunno why she is with Yasuo

The meaning in this cinematic is amazing: Literally facing down his literal inner demon, with his brother, the cause of that demon, and slaying it.

omg yesssss

I really like ur reaction and when u talk about animation ! Like

You should probably watch the biggest league cinematic "A new dawn" its quite old now but it still holds up pretty good with the newer cinematics

Yaay I was waiting for this! ✨

YES!! I wanted you to watch this so badly!! This made my whole week!!

Breathe from Legend of Runeterra

34:00 Yasuo's protecting the "demon" because he doesn't "look" like a Demon to Yasuo. Humans can't see Demons, they see glamour/what the Demon wants the person they're attaching themselves to, to see. After Yasuo consumes the drink that binds the two realms (the physical world & the spirit world), the cinematic is showing us Yone's perspective of the fight thereafter -- (this is Yone's champion reveal teaser cinematic, not Yasuo's). Yasuo probably just sees an old man giving him a hallucinogenic concoction that made him dizzy. He's never done it before, so he's probably hesitant to assume anything is wrong -- he is after all, only doing it to SPEAK TO THE DEAD (not normal lol). Yone can SEE Demons because of the one infused in the mask stuck on his face; It is only after Yone & the Demon converse, & Yone says the familiar to Yasuo line, "Better than to live without it." does Yasuo realize the specter (Yone) means no harm for no reason at all -- He trusts his brother, he doesn't have ill feelings towards his brother & he didn't MEAN to kill him (Yasuo's lore), he killed Yone (& everyone else chasing after him thinking HE killed their master), in self-defense, so he trusts that the entity Yone is attacking (the Demon) is actually the problem. & then, of course, the Demon starts speaking about events he wouldn't of have known about unless he was there, probably signaling to Yasuo that the old man isn't who he appears to be

Ive been waiting for this !!

That was a delightful reaction to watch

U should watch "the path" for a better knowledge and "breath" because is amazing

You should watch "The path of Ionian myth" for more Yone lore.

I love your reactions theyre so filled with emotion ,sometimes remembers me of a child watching a new episode of their fav anime and i love that haha

I definitely want more reactions on league of legends cinematic from this guy. Genuine reactions and can totally appreciate how well done the animations are. Keep it up mate

Destiny 2 “Last Stand of Gunslinger” and “Zavala Story trailer” we still waiting!

Pls react to "path" league of legends cinematics

Just watched almost all of your league reaction videos! E P I C ♥

I love your videos reacting to league cinematics! ❤️

i love watching his videos cause hes attractive thats it

I love this too, buuuuuut... Still waiting on warframe 2019 cinematic. Still waiting.

I have been waiting for this video. The excitement when I saw it is indescribable. I cant wait to see the reaction to it

Yasuo kills Yone, even though Yone was an honorable fighter who trained every day to wield the blade Yasuo has. Yasuo, even though he goofed around and was hot headed was naturally great with the sword and bested his brother and earned the right to use his 'ability' to use the wind. Yasuo was accused of killing their master which obviously makes him a target but Yasuo goes to find the killer but his brother gave chase and ultimately was killed by Yasuo. Watch "The Path" to see what happened to Yone, it's a great little cinematic as well. But Yasuo eventually succumbs to his guilt and becomes an alcoholic and a bum as seen when he wakes up in this.

Chris has given me a genuine interest in the techniques required to make shit like this, love the content.

YESSS I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS

I was waiting for this!!

i was waiting so long haha, finally

Great reaction as always, was waiting for this one

i as really waiting for this thank you!

There is more to the sword reflection than what you said. The sword is bloodstained the first time he looks at himself showing us an unclear image of him. Then he washed the blood in the river and at the very end when we see him in the boat he looks at his reflection again but it is crystal clear this time. This was used to show the progression of his character throughout the cinematic. Having doubts about himself and many regrets about his past at the beginning but by the end all of that has been cleared. That was really awesome

YES! I wondered if you would react to this when it came out I love it!

Love your channel man! The league reacts are amazing. I know others have mentioned it but Amumu’s Curse of the Sad Mummy is what got me into their cinematics. Keep up the good work!

I loooove it so much when you react to League cinematics, Chris!

As soon as I saw that cinematic I thought "Chris is going to have some *real* fun with this one"

The shockwaves we see in the fight aren't just for show, and more than shockwaves they're actually the visual representation of yasuo's ability, which is to control wind, as we can see when he throws tornados and stuff. It's also why his brother tells him "even the wind has a path"

At the start when he gazes at his reflection on the blade, the blade is bloodstained and he can't see his reflection properly, but in the last part when he does it again, the blade is clean, and he can see himself more clearly.

You can tell he has a passion for movies and film making the way he follows and acts out their movements.

I was really expecting you to react to this new cinematic, glad you made it

Your videos are more valuable than some of the multi media classes I've taken thank you for what you do

One of my favorite parts of this and I'm a bit disappointed he didn't mention it. When the shockwave happens in the first part the rain stops for a moment.

I've been waiting for this moment!!

I wish these came out more often than once a week! I'd love to see you react to "The Path- an Ionian Legend"! Your reacts are so sincere, it's really endearing!

IS IT CHRISTMAS?? been waiting for this lol, amazing work as always broda

I enjoy to way much your reactions, you love cinematic and history as we legue players do! You get pretty well the essense of everything and how to admire the animation's little details

I really love what you do. I am a big league fan and its world story. Keep up the good work always looking forward to future videos.

That girl at the end was Ahri. In the Spirit Blossoms storyline, she's a guide for wandering souls to the afterlife. I believe Yone (that spirit guy with the red mask) is a wayward soul hunting demons, and Ahri is looking for him, but I could be wrong on that.

Just yesterday found you out reacting to some League shorts and I thought, holy shit just wait until he gets to see the new one. 40min long video is pretty much what I expected :P

Epicc explanation, do more of these!

A small explanation of what is happening in the cinematic. Yone (big bro) & Yasuo ( young bro) had a fight. While the older brother was send to face invaders the younger was send to protect their sensei. He left though and his sensei was found dead. Everybody thought he killed him and was hunted, leading to the first scene. The whole thing is a dream and Yasuo wakes. He is late for the spirit blossom festival where supposedly the living can speak to the dead but an old monk gives him an alternative. The monk is an asakana baby demons of some sort that if it feeds in negative emotions it grows to eventually become a fully fledged demon as Fiddlesticks.

Did he just about say 'BANKAI' as Yasuo was winding up xD. YASSSSSSS

I love when a person is smart and knows how to go with what gets them views, and is good idea for content, Really liked the video!!!!

Prolly one of the few channels where I can watch someone fan out THEN teach something XD

Great vid as always! Would love to see you cover the mists of pandaria & draenor cinematics from wow next~~ Other than that really happy i found your channel recently, BOMB videos!!!

Your videos are so entertaining :D

11:41 even the wind khas a path. lol i like your reactions btw

12:49 “We-Who is she guys?” Ahri, the Nine Tailed Fox

I was expecting Chris to react to this ... I'm not disappointed. xx

The girl on the boat is named Ahri. She is a person from a race named Vastaya (human with fox ears and nine tail, there is a lot of different variants of vastaya like: bird people,mermaids etc.) She killed alot of humans to get more magic and after realising how horrible was the things that she done the guilt was killing her so she decided to go to the forest of forgetting to forget all the things that happened but it didn't work.

Now this is what im waiting for!!!

Mmm you forgot to mention that when Yasuo does that power "oomph" thing in the beginning, because he has wind-powers, he pushes the rain away with the explosion, and then a bit after Yone lands on the ground the rain comes back

this is what a reaction video was meant to be. his body movement dude

When I saw the cinematic I instantly tought of you reacting XD

Geez i love your lighting

A video on my recommended that is actually worth watching.

My third comment, but I'm really passionate okay! A couple of things I think you missed: the fade to black was, imo, actually pretty clever! It's not just a typical fade to black (Which, nothing wrong with that, especially if it's done properly like you said), but they fade on the sound and action of Yasuo sheeting his sword. Since we were viewing the world through his reflection in his blade, him sheeting his sword and plunging that wold into darkness is a really neat way to fade to black I think. Another thing: We could see when he woke up that Yasuo's sword was covered in blood. And the reflection we saw of him was stained by it. Now, obviously, since it's likely been years since Yone died, this is not his blood (It's not difficult for Yasuo to get blood on his blade though, "Death is like the wind. Always by my side"- a quote from him in-game), but combined with the next scene and him waking up with their final battle on his mind, it's clearly symbolic. And when he's in the river we'le, we can see the blood washing away from his blade. As to why Yasuo defends the azakana, he likely- at that point, could not tell it was a demon. It's not easy for humans to recognize demons. Yone, having died and being able to access the spirit realm has no problem seeing them though. And one final cool thing: When Yasuo's on the ship and talking to Yasuo, he looks at his blade and clearly sees his reflection in his clean blade. Love the symbolism!

6:40 lmaoo laughed so hard here 😂

this cinematic was so fucking good, i like ur inputs on the vids u react to big up

The festival you saw a few minutes in was the Spirit Blossom Festival. A festival where the people of Ionai celebrate the dead and can talk to those they have lost once more. That's what the old man meant when he asked Yasuo if he was "looking to commune". Spirit Blossom are magical flowers that can hold to the soul of the dead. If you want to talk to someone you know you first have to find the Blossom that hold his/her soul and then drink the Spirit Tea. Yasuo here was looking to talk to his brother one last time. Since he killed Yone during the war and this is the first time after the war the the Spirit Blossoms bloom now would be the perfect time. However, the old man tricks him. Neither is the Blossom Yasuo holds real nor is the tea really the Spirit Tea. Yasuo was accused to have killed Elder Souma because Souma and Yasuo were the only people in Ionia known for using the Wind Technique and Souma was killed by said fighting style. Yasuo however wasn't even near Souma when it happened because even tho he was supposed to not interfere he saved a nearby village during the war. When he returned Souma was dead already, killed by accident when he tried to cleans Rivens sword from the magic in it. Yasuo blamed himself and ran away, for others it looked like he ran because he killed Souma with the Wind Technique. That's why Yone tracked him down. How Yone came back is not known, not even Yone himself knows. All he knows that in the Spirit World he fought a demon. He later realised that this demon already was in him while alive and if Yasuo hadn't killed him he would have become like the old man here. Those lesser demons are called Azakana and feed off of negative emotions like rage, (self-)doubt, or the feeling that someone betrayed you, until they take over and mutate to full demons. He defeated the demon in the Spirit world but with it's last strenght it attacked Yone again and still kinda fused with him. The demon now is in the mask on his face and Yone can't get rid of the mask at the moment, so for now the mask is here to stay permanently. However, because of the mask Yone is able to see other Azakana and if he learns the true name of the demons he can banish them. With every Azakana he learns more and maybe some day he will learn the name of his own demon.

perfect timing goddaym

4:57 got me triggert XD: 'why else would the great yasuo come' and he screaming : aaaah it begins with a Y !!!

Alright so for the many different questions concerning the lore behind the cinematic. There is a channel that specializes into that and it is named "Necrit". I recommend his video called "Yone & Yasuo Cinematic Explained".

I like how when he said "it starts with a Y" it was the same time the old man said Yasuo's name so he didn't heard it

I never played League, but I always love their cinematic because of all the different animation/art styles. This one is a really good example, I still think it's funny that I just normally rewatch them for the songs and still haven't actually played the game. XD

Would love to see you react to the Fiddlesticks trailer! It's really good. Amazing video though, love watching your uploads

There is a prequel video, showing how Yone's spirit claimed this form and leaving the spirit realm. "The Path, An Ionian Myth | Spirit Blossom 2020 Animated Trailer - League of Legends"
