BF: **is literally depressed** Soul BF: SHUT UP AND TAKE THIS GUITAR

bro soul bf really taking "Your depression, let me fight it" to a whole other level

Love how the beginning is Boyfriend slowly and solemnly fighting his way back out of the corruption, before Soul BF jumps right in like "HELL YEAH!" and destroys the place. The BF's all confused for a second until he gets thwacked in the face with a guitar.

Bf: "the world is gone...forever.." *depression singing* Soul bf: yeah yeah whatever, NOW LISTEN TO THIS GUITAR SOLO

Soul BF straight up throwing the guitar into BF's face to fully wake him up was great

The world: Corrupted and dead inside Soul BF: STOP BEING DEPRESSED AND TAKE THIS GUITAR!

can't believe it's been 2 years since this song came out it still blows my mind the amount of work and care and effort that was put into it. It may not be my favourite song in this mod (that's a tricky one to think about since they're all amazing in their own way) but it's definitely the best soul bf song and I'm glad this is when I started following this amazing mod.

1:29 BF: Guitar...can...i...pick....it...? Soul BF: *Throws the guitar in bf*

I love that Evil BF turned out to be just a big bro/supporter to BF. Weirdly' they have amazing chemisty with each other.

BF: Im so glad to see you aga- Soul: Enough with the sentimental crap! We have a lemon to turn into lemonade! So SING!

i simply love the “Miss me?” at the beginning, displaying how soul BF knows he’s been gone, and adds onto the fact that he’s not real. Love the work man, keep it up.

Aight, boys, the finale is upon us! Let's review the story so far: This whole thing kicked off during the events of Friday Night Funkin Week 5, when Girlfriend was infected with a mysterious virus that corrupted her. This virus presumably originated from Lemon Demon, as it was in his parallel world that she was infected. She then infects Boyfriend with this virus, and when the two of them are transported back to their real world, they wreak havoc in the mall, corrupting everyone in sight. Daddy Dearest and Mommy Mearest manage to escape the newborn outbreak, as does Pico, though not before he gets half-infected. Boyfriend and Girlfriend chase him through the city streets, and this is where we get our firsthand look at how Boyfriend's new evil soundwaves can accelerate the Corruption. Pico puts up a good fight, even when half-corrupted, but let his guard down when Evil Boyfriend slightly uncorrupted to give him a glimpse at his old friend. This moment of weakness allowed the evil duo to overpower him with the Corruption, forcing him to join their ranks. However, Pico isn't fully controlled by the Corruption, and in a stuggle for physical control, Pico trails off on his own and goes on a rampage, attacking anything in sight and getting tangled up in chains in the process. Meanwhile, Evil Boyfriend and Girlfriend continue their mission to corrupt the world, and this sinister quest leads them to a haunted mansion. There, they find Skid, who is attempting to figure out why his friend Pump has had a change in costume...and as Boyfriend and Girlfriend enter the room, he gets his answer. Unwilling to leave his friend's side, Skid makes an attempt to fight their assailants, but as Pump has already been corrupted, his symphony is to no avail. The dread of the inevitable crawls along Skid's face as he begins to cry, knowing there was nothing he could do as he was overpowered by the Corruption. Satisfied with the easy victory, Boyfriend and Girlfriend make their way to their house, determined not to let a living soul live uncorrupted. Meanwhile, Pico's rampage has led him to the Dearest limousine parking lot, where he encounters Mommy Mearest, who'd been hiding inside the vehicle to avoid an encounter with the Corruption. Had anyone else attempted to find her, they would've been unsuccessful. Pico, however, sniffed her out, unloading a magazine from his gun into the limo, forcing her out. She also put up a good fight, keeping her body pure of the Corruption for the duration of the first song. But her luck would run out as Pico demonstrated the effectiveness of soundwave infection to begin overpowering her. And as we've witnessed previously, once the Corruption starts infecting, it doesn't stop. And that is the case with Mommy Mearest, who is fully corrupted by the time Pico wanders off again to regroup with Boyfriend and Girlfriend. At the Dearest household, Boyfriend and Girlfriend make their way to Girlfriend's room to find Hating Simulator on the computer, exactly what they were looking for. Boyfriend forces his soul into the game, one line of code at a time, and encounters Senpai in the same fashion they would have had he and Girlfriend not been corrupted. Everything seems normal for Senpai at first, until Boyfriend begins glitching and loses his face, Girlfriend becoming frozen as a black box covered her face, and that's when he realizes the world around him is beginning to deteriorate. He tries fighting for Girlfriend's honor at first, until she lets out a shriek letting him know he's all alone in his fight. In a bargain for his life, he tells Boyfriend to take the girl and leave him alone. Of course, that's not Boyfriend's intention, as Senpai realizes when he attempts to delete his assets. Enraged at the increasingly unsettling form Boyfriend is taking, Senpai goes Spirit mode on him, forcing Girlfriend out of the game as the code crumbles around him and his assailant. He fights valiantly, but as his foe doesn't relent no matter what he threw at him, he is forced to accept his fate as Boyfriend deletes his data. As Boyfriend reemerges from the computer, he realizes there's only one major threat left to face: Daddy Dearest. Boyfriend leaves Girlfriend at the Dearest household as he travels alone to the very same stage he'd first faced her father on. There he stands, waiting for his arrival. Having witnessed all the Corruption's dark deeds, Daddy Dearest begins to battle Boyfriend, keeping the Corruption at bay within the slowly crumbling stage. As he laments those who have fallen, the Corruption begins to creep around his body, beginning to overtake him, but he doesn't give in. He manages to reverse the effects of the Corruption on himself and shrink the dark spots as he begins his final deathmatch, unleashing all he has upon Boyfriend. However, it's the arrival of Pico, Skid and Pump that throw him off guard, as he can barely make his stand against several corrupted characters. Nevertheless, he manages to persevere even through this, until, of course, the arrival of Mommy Mearest. Seeing her corrupted form breaks Daddy Dearest, and as his darling wife duets with him, Boyfriend recovers from Daddy's attacks and stands back up to finish the job, as at this point the Corruption has nearly overtaken the final line of defense. With the walls crumbled and the armies of the corrupted surrounding them, Daddy Dearest finally gives in, allowing for the world to be overpowered by the Corruption. But that's not where the story ends. Because of the intensity of the fight with Daddy Dearest, Evil Boyfriend becomes exhausted, and this moment of weakness allows the real Boyfriend to regain consciousness. Awakened by a mysterious voice, the dormant Boyfriend finds himself trapped within his own mind, where a TV screen shows his corrupted form struggling with an internal battle that was about to unfold. Finding that his foe was an evil variant of himself, Boyfriend began doing what he did best, rap battling with himself in a battle to maintain his consciousness. As the fight progresses, his corrupted form realizes what's going on, and does everything in his power to weaken the newly awakened Boyfriend and make him fall back to sleep. However, his corrupted soul kept the pressure up, trying to ensure that he would stay awake and continue fighting to regain control of himself. Upon learning this, Evil Boyfriend's mind makes the soul fade away, leaving Boyfriend alone in the confines of his subconscious. All alone within the dark caverns of his corrupted subconscious, Boyfriend hears a voice in the midst of his period of exhaustion, telling him to give up and go back to sleep while the Corruption continues to wreak havoc on the world. Despite his increasing weariness, Boyfriend refuses, fighting to maintain his consciousness. Suddenly, a crack appears in the air in front of him, and with a bolt of yellow lighting, Soul BF emerges from the new hole, whaling away at an electric guitar. He yeets one at Boyfriend, who becomes energized as their Round 2 officially begins. Their combined musical energy begins to tear down the caves around them, but the voice of the Corruption also fights to make him fall asleep again, telling him that all his friends were gone and his life belonged to it. Boyfriend is temporarily weakened by this, but Soul BF refuses to let him fall so easily, continuously energizing him with the power of music and encouraging words. Eventually, cracks of light appear around them as the background falls back away, revealing the same room with the TV screen from earlier. With the song ended and having broken free from the curse of the Corruption, BF and Soul BF slam their guitars on the ground and begin to make their escape.

Bf: everyone is either dead or corrupted, the world is destroyed, I am the only one left... and I caused it. Soul Bf: GET IN LOSER WE'RE PLAYING GUITAR HERO

Why is it with bfs vocals you can hear how hopeless he is, that he just wants to give up, then soul bf comes in just like: SUP FUCKERS WE AIN'T DYING YET

REFERENCES: Chiller at 2:58, Neuroses at 2:54 and at 3:19, Tormentor at 4:13, Deathmatch from 4:22 until the end of the song.

Upon re-watching this videos, I'm starting to realise how much of a genius Phantom Fear actually is, the execution of this whole concept was just so well done and thought out, more so than I expected back when the first few videos for it appeared.

"LET'S END THIS!" *Proceeds to slam guitars into the floor* Fucking epic

I just love how boyfriend started loosing hope when the evil voice (red text, possibly the corruption) Says he'll never see his friends again and the soul boyfriend (seems everyone has a liking to that name) just says, Are you planning on giving up? And Bf's like, Hell Nah and gets motivated again and soul just says, didnt think so, The power of epic guitar solos is the key!

BF: Well, guess that's it, huh? Soul: THROUGH THE FIRE AND THE FLAMES Soul and BF: WE CARRY ON!

I like the constant theme of ‘waking up’ across these videos in BF’s POV. BF only starts fighting back against the corruption once he regains consciousness. The corruption tells BF to ‘go to sleep’ as if that’ll let the corruption take full control over his body and mind while Soul tells BF to “WAKE UP!” Obviously encouraging him to fight against the corruption. It seems that the victim being awake allows the corruption to have much less control.

Meanwile in the outside: Corrupted Pico: Bf are you okay? Corrupted BF: *Having a seizure*

I've never seen BF so happy, especially when he's holding the guitar _IT'S PERFECTION_

5:02 * BF gets a guitar out of the blue*

fun fact: the reason why there are only 3 guitar notes is because bf has only 4 fingers, and a normal person with 5 fingers plays the guitar with the main 4 fingers, and doesn't use the thumb. But since bf has only 4 fingers instead of 5, he can only play with 3

I love how Soul BF doesnt even care if he's losing, he's still happy.

BF: Trapped in the darkest depths of the corruption for months, possibly even years. Soul BF: G U I T A R

This song brought me out of one of the worst moments in my life. An old friend betrayed my trust and love. Who knew a song that sounded so familiar to me, yet foreign to my mind would pull me out of the dark spiral in my head. Funnily enough, I only plan on staying in this fandom until this mod reaches its conclusion. To PhantomFear and the entire corruption team, thank you. Without you, I probably would've been dead a long time ago. Thank you to everyone else for reading my nonsense. Peace out.

Bf: slowly dying of corruption for months possibly even years Soul bf: it’s too dangerous to go alone take this🎸

I really love how at 2:41 Soul BF points at BF and says "Come on!" which prompts BF to join him on absolutely shredding on the guitar.

This the MOST unique and beautiful final battle of FNF ever! Especially the Guitar Heroes part and his other helping him. Phantom Fear, you definitely and DEFINITELY have my and other peoples respect!

Bf's soul on the second song: Mmm... something's missing... Oh! I know! A GUITAR! :D Bf's soul before the third song: Welp, a guitar didn't work... I KNOW, tWo gUiTaRS¡¡¡ >:D

Who would win: a demon that has corrupted everyone and is powerful as heck Or G I T U A R

Bf: damn all my friends are corrupted and I’m stuck in this hell forever Soul bf: Guitar? Bf: Ok

I love how, when the portal comes, he stops getting a full combo. His focus is wavering, and he isn't doing *perfect* anymore.

best part no joke 4:31

After coming back to this video, I realized something. It's not BF missing, it's the *corruption* missing. Most likely meaning that the corruption cannot deal well with more optimistic songs but rather deals with negative/sad ones, due to the fact that most other songs are like this and they're easily taken over. This could also be why they needed so many for death match, because at the start I think it was more happy but then later on due to dearest giving up it took on a more false hope approach.

Bf: drepression Soul: NO TAKE THIS GUTAR BF: no drepression

I swear this was the best episode of the whole freaking series, the team’s hard work on this one payed off and I actually can’t believe they have Soul Bf a voice and it’s interesting to hear like damn, the team really has to go all out on this one. I liked the part where Soul Bf and Bf just smashed their guitars like they just won a show. This episode was such a bop, in fact this whole series was a bop. Can’t wait for the “Escape” part, it’ll be awesome!

I can't believe this was already 4 months ago, but I still can't forget the feeling when I first saw this video. It was really cool that Bf came out beyond the limits of corruption.Corruption mod is a tremendous mod.

The start of the song feels like BF just wants to sing one more song until he gets corrupted. Great storyline, and epic mod!

" Miss me? " " Time for round 2 " " You better keep up " "COME ON! " " Your friends " " Keep your focus " " You can keep up " " Remember them " " Planning on giving up? " " Didn't think so " " This is more my style! '' " WAKE UP! " " Ready to ditch this joint? " " LET'S END THIS! "

When this week first started I thought Soul was a villain, but he’s actually a hero, shocker. Also in 3:57 it sounds like through the fire and the flames

3:33 CHILLER MOMENT

The Fact it's actually been 3 years, the good ol' days.

Shoutout to those who’s stuck with this since the corrupted gf mod showcase

Soul BF: Stop being corrupted Corruption: Why Soul BF: Join my Rock Band

Bf:visible pain from being corrupted for possibly decades or more and losing his friends to corruption Soul bf: G.U.I.T.A.R

1:34 "no time to explain. Here take this"

That's cool! "Evil" BF isn't really evil after all. Seems like he's just BF's consciousness, or maybe even his soul, but the Corruption had possibly twisted BF's perception of it to make it seem like it was evil, when in reality he was trying to help him break free. EDIT: I also just noticed that the red text is most likely the Corruption itself talking to BF, and the fact that it had the corrupted "Ready Set Go" at the start, then when BF's soul comes in, it goes back to the original, possibly to show that the Corruption is losing its grip over BF!

Epic final song! In my opinion, the VS Evil Boyfriend has the best overall day 1, 2, 3 of all FNF mods and FNF classical game.

Love the FL Studio AI voice saying the "3, 2, 1, Go."

Soul is the best character ever!

So Evil BF is actually trying to CHALLENGE BF, not necessarily DEFEAT him. To rekindle that spark in his heart that lets him be so confident in the face of any kind of trouble.

This really feels like hell, like every character has gone through some real suffering here: -pico couldn't save his friend -bf has awaken and lost countless times in his own mind -MM got attacked and forced to corrupt her husband -Skid had to see his friend get corrupted and then fight helplessly crying for help. -DD had to fight alone thousands of demons and his wife, just to see how the world's hope goes away. They're all traumatized at the very least. Edit: i've seen the video and i'm confused on how no one's talking about how damn determined you need to be to stay awake for months for the sake of your friends.

evil bf got yo back 💪😎

Daddy dearest would be proud of BF if he heard him playing the guitar

3:56 As a Clone Hero player, I love the guitar in this section. It’s literally just Through Fire and the Flames.

Man the visuals, the song, the whole theme of "there's still hope", and how Soul BF is cheering BF on just makes this the BEST final day I've ever seen

i like how the chat was screaming about chiller being there

This is a pure masterpiece! Congrats to Saster and everyone ❤️

Bruh, Guitar Hero and other games like that were literally my childhood and the kickstarters to my obsession with rhythm games, so seeing it incorporated into FNF is giving me massive nostalgia. Especially seeing it in one of my favourite mods. My childhood just crawled out of the depths of my brain and is now destroying me. Also this sounds really good.

The corruption: You were under my control. Give up. Soul BF: Well, fuck you, what about no.

I love this! You put so much time into this! I will always support you!

that was beautiful i give this video 5 stars 😢🥰😍💎😙👍

"Your friends... You will never see them." Soul BF: *This is the part where you are wrong my dude*

I did not expect boyfriend to be jamming out on the guitar like he did. This was awesome. Can't wait for the next part.

So the voice talking to BF this whole time was the Harvester. Interesting.

Soul BF is the kind of friend who’d hurt you in a friendly matter but ask if you’re okay

People talking about BF's "depression" and then Soul BF giving him the guitar just to freaking put him out of his misery, BUT LET'S JUST APRECCIATE THE FACT THAT THIS PIECE OF ART EXISTS

BF's Soul: *Jamming out* The Corruption: His chops are too righteous! The void can't handle this level of rock and roll! BF DO SOMETHING! BF: Alright *joins in the jamming*

At first I thought phantom fear was just making a neat mod. But as I watched more amd more I was diving deeper into the story. I now feel phantom is an evil genius who created this masterpiece of a story. The music is so damn good, the story amd sprites are great, ngl got kinda emotional at a part or two throughout tye story. Well done man. Well done.

just noticed that after the chiller refrence at 3:33, it sounds likebf soul sings a smnall lemotif to deathmatch

Remember kids, if you ever need to make a deal with your Sleep Paralysis Demon, make sure he supports you and helps on fighting your evil version out of your head.

People should stop calling Bf's soul evil bf at this point because it's far from it. Also that "WAKE UP!" part sent chills down my spine!

I don't know how, but this give me nostalgia..

If soul BF was my brother. (Which he isn't) I'm sure we would probably get along well. He is like a brother figure to most people. (Is what I would assume)

Soul bf be like: Sadness is temporary, *but guitar is forever.*

This is actually good, the serotonin build up and then all of sudden a full dose released at once, can't express how this music is excellent

I think it would be amazing for a dual final battle, we would control bf on the outside fighting to uncorrupt his friends, while soul fights on the inside to cleanse the rest of the corruption from bf, and us the players would alternate between them

I love it when bf is giving up, then soul throws the guitar in bf's face and after he wakes up.

Dialogue! Red: “How long has it been?” “Days? Weeks? Months? [Years?]” “And you are still awake.” “Who are you waiting for? [You don’t even know.]” “Just give in.” “Let us take over. [STOP RESISTING.]” “Go to sleep.” “Why do you still try?” “We’ll make you feel alive. [ALIVE AGAIN.]” “JUST GIVE UP!” “STOP [SILENCE] THINKING ABOUT HIM!” Soul: “3! 2! 1! GO!” “Miss me?” “Time for round 2.” “You better keep up!” “COME ON!” Red: “I WON’T ALLOW IT. [YOU WILL STAY HERE.]” “Your life is owed to me.” “Remember?” “Don’t forget.” “[I spared you.] Your loyalty.” Soul: “Keep your focus.” “Remember them.” “Your friends.” Red: “You will never see them again.” “They are [dead.] gone.” “You will regret this betrayal. [YOU WILL DIE BY MY HANDS.] Soul: “Planning on giving up?” “Didn’t think so.” “WAKE UP!” “Ready to ditch this joint?” “This is more my style!” “Let’s end this!”

2:21 Fun fact! That little melody that they do for the end of the verse matches the number of syllables in “You better keep up!”

Any time I watch this it makes me think of the spectacular spiderman episode where Peter literally fights the symbiote out of his body with the assistance of uncle Ben in his subconscious

when I hear the beginning guitar part i get a wave of emotions from it.

I just realized that BF is always confident in the original FNF, so Soul BF trying to motivate him and make him confident makes a lot of sense.

“Soul” as everyone seems to have taken to calling him is such an unexpected yet still welcomed character, and their every appearance so far has revealed and made twists out of the possible ways that the corruption-mod-universe may work, feel, and function. God DAMN he’s a clever and fresh character. Thank you for being the one to make this a thing 10/10. Every voice on the account approves

One of my favourite videos on the corruption mod!! Keep rocking on Phantom Fear!!

just noticed that corrupted BF isn't on the screen behind them at the end of the song like he was in Tormentor and Neuroses, hopefully meaning he's already completely free

I mean even if they get all corrupted, aren't they gonna be really depressed? Since BF wen thru hell in his mind, Skid and Pump were left to die alone, Pico couldn't save BF, neither could MM save Pico and then Daddy Dearest being roasted by everyone in Deathmatch.

*THIS IS SOUL BF’S QUOTES! NOT THE CORRUPTION, THAT ONE IS BLACK AND RED!* Gleaming Regards, Hiso. 1:54 “Miss me?” 2:13 “Time for round 2.” 2:22 “You better keep up!” 2:40 “COME ON!” ((he says that, not the corruption, all of this is Soul BF’s quotes, not the corruption’s, thought I should clarify that.)) 3:33 “Keep your focus.” 3:37 “Remember them.” 3:43 “Your friends.” 4:24 “Plan on giving up?” 4:28 “Didn’t think so.” 4:32 “WAKE UP!” 4:53 “Ready to ditch this joint?” 5:09 “This is more my style!” 5:32 “Let’s end this!” WOOOOOOOO IM DONE DOING ALL THE QUOTES I SAW HYEAHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Attention everyone!, Escape is releasing in March 5th!, prepare yourselves!

0:06 corruption: How long has it been? 0:08 Bf: Beeeeeeeeep

This really makes you sit and think. Remember when we thought that SOUL BF WAS the corruption back in the Senpai week? Just to turn out that he’s the one that helps BF free himself from corruption. Love to see it.

BF: I'm sad now, all my friends are re-skinned by creepy lemon man and there is nothing I can do- Soul BF: Ayo I just remembered I bought a second guitar, also we still have Guitar Hero 5 on the Xbox 360- BF: Say no more, *proceeds to shred guitar*

3:20 This is the first time I've heard the whispers in that part of the song

BF: (Loses hope) Soul BF: Dammit BF, YOU NEED MORE GUITAR.

BF: *reaches his hand out* Soul BF: *YEETS the guitar at him*

The official corruption mod proves once again as one of the highest quality mods out there.

Idk how about u guys but this keeps me alive even after those years

“you’re literally a groomer” colleen ballinger: 1:27
