I can't wait until you are able to react to the final piece of these two. Love these videos and thank you for making them!

FYI: Japanese VA training is so intense and precise that most of them are able singers. Hinoa and Minoto's VAs were typecasted for having both a gentle vocal color AND being able to sing (both of them have flourishing singing careers in Japan while being high profile VAs as well). They are, in fact, chosen specifically because they were expected to be the vocals for Narwa, Ibushi, and the Allmother's theme songs.

the allmother theme will corect the " motherly / kind " vibe it has cant wait for you to react to it !

I totally agree with the "Motherly Love" thing! I feel like I would've missed out on it if it wasn't thanks to my first encounter with climax: When I fist heard the final part the music was building to, Narwa was prepping her special attack in the center of the arena by protecting her thunder sac. I didn't know that this was her thunder sac at the time though, I thought she was already pregnant (which isn't possible if Ibushi is still looking for her). You'll often see pregnant women with their hands on the stomach so I saw this as her hugging her belly... I started tearing up when the vocals came in because they felt so kind and motherly, I felt like I was the monster because she was just trying to protect her young and I was shooting her with cannons 😭 So glad to hear I wasn't alone on this perspective

It's so fascinating to hear someone who's a professional themselves be able to actually put into words why I feel the music in this series is so fantastic. Both of the Ibushi and Narwa themes had a kind of sad feeling to them, they aren't evil or anything, there's no shrieking Latin while the drums go mental. They're just unconsciously causing an apocalypse with their psychic stuff and you've got to be the one to kill them.

5:26 Another intresting thing here is that considering how Ibushi and Narwa are floating their movements do feel like a dancing swim, and they even do dance around eachother in the cut scene where they finally meet,its a really cool detail you noticed. Not gonna lie tho at first I liked Ibushis theme more Narwa has grown on me alot, and acording to some Japanese translations of the lyrics Narwa is singing to Ibushi about how they will destroy Kamura for the pain they have caused him. And as you pointed out it really feels like a song of love and care, but also rage and anger. Plus Ibushi been in the song via the instrement in his song. I also noticed that parts of the song like at 9:02 feel like the instruments are a representation of Narwas lighting.

Hearing the first “motherly” part here in focus made me wanna cry. She just wanted to be a mama…

Man, your analysis always makes me realize a lot of things I miss even when I hear these melodies so many times. Good job!

Absolutely loving every single one of these breakdowns. They leave me with newfound thoughts and feelings and makes me want to look closer into the music associated with scenes, monsters, moments. Thank you so much for what you do!

I love how the instruments build in energy as Minoto sings or holds a note, it's a cool parallel to what Narwa does with the monsters. When Narwa "sings" the monsters go into a frenzy

So much of MH music can make me cry if I actually sit with it. It is so beautiful and sometimes so sad, sometimes it gives me chills or excites me. Ugh it's so good. The people behind this music are so talented. I appreciate hearing your thoughts.

The Narwa theme just channels the sense of complete awe and thunderstruckness you experience when you first fight her. "Oh my god... look at these RINGS!" "The way the platforms rise and collapse..." "It's so beautiful!" *cries*

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO 😭 Narwa might become my favourite monster ever, but not the allmother, the original narwa. This is a kind of final boss, you expect to see the Queen I finally meet her, and you have this enormous and beautiful beast in front of you, floating with grace but still having this soft and kind aura you mention. And her theme just matches perfectly this whole gracious aspect of the monster. I'm just love it 😭

Great analysis as always! I love the gentle and sorrowful tones of the flute of this beautiful theme which makes me so emotional. Oh, Just can’t wait for your reaction video of The Allmother! Thank you for this amazing video.

It's very enjoyable when you describe the chords played using the emotions portrayed by those chords. It makes the listeners that are unfamiliar with music theory better understand what the music is trying to convey 👍

I don't get a mother vibe - but I do get a regal, yearning, hopeful vibe. She's dignified, and fighting for her family, and yearning for her husband.

I think this is the best theme out of the three by far. Even including the Allmother theme, though both of them finally getting that duet at the chorus does give me chills.

Narwa theme is already one of my favourite theme with Dalamadur and Disufiroa

So exited to see this, you always make great analysis videos!

I love these breakdowns so much! There are similar u tubers out there but honestly, youre breakdowns are especially eye opening and really in depth. Probably the best breakdowns of game music ive seen so far and its even monster hunter - the only franchise I would shill for lmao

Marvelous work,thank you for your insights. Wish you all the best with Monster Hunter, hope to experience more soon🏯

Muy buen video, muchas gracias por dedicar tu tiempo para brindarnos el análisis de esta impresionante canción

listen to both themes at the same time and you can hear the conversation between the two serpents Narwa & Ibushi

These have been great! Thank you!

Loving this videos! I would love to hear an analysis to the Fated Four themes soon.

Would love to see a breakdown of Velkhana’s or Fatalis’ theme

This theme fits so much MHR's campaign, while for us, the hunters, we're saving the world from the apocalypse, for the storm serpents we're stopping their union, their romance. Kinda like the Romeo and Julliet romance

*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.

Your analyses are so good. I'm heavily inspired

You are literally one of my favorite KZfaqr on this site, MH music is so great but very few people actually do breakdowns of it, and even fewer do it as in-depth as you do. It is really fascinating and makes me love this series even more! Btw could you try some general area themes in the future?

Making such a mix of epicness, mistery, power, majesty, tension and gentleness in one single theme it's not unusual for this franchise, but with Narwa's theme this process has been taken to maximum level

Another amazing review of an amazing theme

Been watching your reactions to MHR music and I loved them all. I hope you will give a chance to a very underlooked theme from the game: Red Roaming Roar. I think it is absolutely crazy. Cheers and keep up the amazing work!

I really love the contrasts in this one and the fact that is the other half of a song. You can put the two together to make a whole. It's very interesting. Definitely hearing the motherly vibes in this one. Sorry I'm just catching up! I've been on holiday this week!

I know I’m a bit late, but to me it felt like Narwa herself was singing in this dance of death, a song of sorrow and longing, but also of love and tenderness.

Oh no. Oh yay? I'm already liking your videos in the first ten seconds because I know I'll like the content.

Really can’t wait for the Allmother analysis. I think a lot of people can say that when you listen to the theme, you can hear the two songs joining as one to create a Union more powerful than either of the serpents could be alone.The two voices, probably being Minoto and Hinoa, singing it also adds an extra layer to the powers off the two being joined for one last stand off to ensure the continuation of their bloodline. Sorry that was a lot, and this might get buried, but I just want to say thanks man for the reviews and I look forward to the next one the most!

I love your videos and I know you’re buried in requests but I am REALLY looking forward to whenever you get around to Shara Ishvalda’s theme from Iceborne. It is one of the more unique monster theme’s and the progression from the first stage of the fight into the second gets me every time. I know you’re doing allmother next and have tons of requests, but hopefully you eventually get around to it. Keep up these great videos! With a series like monster hunter, you can’t really go wrong on the soundtrack. The team does and incredible job every time.

Do the Deviljho’s theme! “Insatiable Hunger” basically describes the Deviljho’s theme, when the angry pickle comes busting in? He’s already got you in his sights and he sees you as another fine bit of prey to devour, desperately trying to satiate the neverending hunger.

AWESOME!!

is it just me, or does the melody of the intense part at the end sound a lot like kamura village? shared leitmotif perhaps? if it is a shared leitmotif and not just me hearing things, then I'd imagine it's to give the feeling that you're saving the village, as well as just making the theme feel more epic/nostalgic. it's always nice when a final boss theme incorporates the main theme/other major theme.

If I'm being honest when you look at it Ibushi's theme sounds very emotional and elegant to me which makes sense because he's the wind serpent and Narwa's theme sounds passionate and powerful because shes the lightning serpent especially at the beginning of each of there themes

You need to listen to one of the themes of Shara Ishvalda. (Maybe do a longer episode where you do both?) You have your pick of "From the Rumblings Come a Song" for Phase 1, and "A single Bloom in an Eternity" for Phase 2 (although Phase 2 is unequivocally better). For context, Shara is the final boss of the main story for Iceborne, and turns from a rock golem-like elder dragon (Phase 1) to a terrifying tree demon-like monster with control over vibrations. It also takes inspiration from Buddhist beliefs/myths. Hope to see the new video soon!

A melhor OST original de Monster Hunter Rise, change my mind.

Oi Davi. Wow - that was a lot to take in this week but very interesting as always. Thank you :)

All mother narwa is coming

Narwa's theme always reminded me of _Nier: Automata's_ music. Both have a mix of chaos and tranquility.

Very great analysis, I was wondering if you could cover some of Monster Hunter Stories 2 themes like Razewing Ratha's or Scarlet Sky?

Second best after Ceadeus en before Shagau Magala theme (please make a video on. But, all MH player, do not forget this, must be played with ears !

9:35 I am trying to accompany you on this one Mr. Vasc trust me on that. But everytime I battle Narwa, it's kind of handful about surviving and winning the quest and killing her no matter what, but of course I'll try.

Love you videos Davi, would love to see you react to some of the boss musics from the soulsborne ones, especially the one from Vordt Of The Voreal Valley from Dark Souls 3

Why am I crying

Damn this is an awesome video! I love MHR

I know you're mainly focusing on Rise's themes rn, but I'd love to see you react to Alatreon's World theme, I've always found it menacing but never really figured out why.

Just wondering, would you be covering any of the side games ost (mainly mhstories 1 and 2), because they have some of my favourite soundtracks in the game. Anyway, keep up the good work!

You should do videos on my other 3 favorite number 1 monsters (narwa shares number one with them), Gore Magala, Shagaru Magala, and Chaotic Gore Magala Edit: I get a sense of rivalry with Shagaru Magala thx to the story of monster hunter 4u, and I get that feeling with the song also

Oh man, would be incredible if you reacted to the old big monster like Yamatsukami, Shen Gaoren and Jhen Mohran

4:31 Funny you should mention that there are 3 notes where instead there should be two. The entire point behind the rampage is that Ibushi and Narwa are separate because they're driving away all potential threats to the new life they're bringing in the world.

It's amazing how capcom gives their monsters more depth, personality and character traits through their soundtrack. Love it!

hey can you react to allmother theme in the next video? can't wait to see you analysis the allmother theme.

I would recommend the theme of Astalos, it is pretty shoking how good the theme is .

Never fuck with a mother. No matter how gentle they sound, they will end you if you hurt their young.

Your breakdowns are really top tier ! 👏 I would really like to see you react to the track "Wind of Departure" from Monster Hunter 4. Imo it's one of the best tracks from the series and it was also played during the opening ceremony in Tokyo ^^

Would the pauses in Narwa's theme matches the vocals on Ibushi's theme, completing the "duet" theme?

You haven't reacted to Vaal Hazak's theme yet, I suggest you do its one of my favorites from Monster Hunter World

Q grande el Davi

Hey ! Could you do an analysis for MH3 Desert Island or Shara Ishvalda theme ? I find Shara Ishvalda pretty unloved by the community while its design is incredible ! Would love to share the passion of these musics !

Would love to hear what you think of the fatalis themes imo the most evil theme in the series

Please do All-mother nawra next!

I dunno, the second 'kind and gentle part' almost feels more like a threat. It makes me feel like she's daring you to approach while she stands guard over her nest.

(Stories 2 spoilers) Razewing Rathalos theme from the fight with him before the final battle analysis would be fun

Can you please the theme of the velkhana please i love that monster so much

Can you make videos on the monster hunter stories 2 battle themes there is a compilation on all of them also can you react to fatalis theme phase 1 from monster hunter world iceborn

What would be a good time to ask for some Monster Hunter Stories 2 reactions? 😳

I notice that "narwa melody" you mention is almost always (if not always) placed into a transition point in monster themes throughout the series. I think you just missed it in the previous games, not specific to any particular monster.

Best Girl finally got noticed!

Kid Icrus When??!!?!?!? DARK PIT?!?!? THUNDER CLOUD TEMPLE?!?!? THE CHAOS SONG?!

I’m ready for you to hear Narwa’s true final theme

I think its just me but I want to see him do the oltura theme

Are you related to Dan Vasc, the metal singer?

do the rampage theme song please

Would be very dope if you react to maybe the main theme of monster Hunter stories 2. My pick would be the final Boss theme but you would have to put a spoiler worning for that one

Hew else thinks he should react to Vaal Hazak also I love your work

Well this is about the Japanese God of Thunder ,so i think they want some more Japanese Style in this Boss music If you want listen the Boss Style, fatalis is the best in the monster Hunter .

Can you react nergigante them the eater of elders "even elder dragons tremble"

All Monster Hunter games have a great soundtrack, but Rise really ups the ante! Love the Japanese theme running through most of the tracks too!

Please react to Zinogres theme, I'm waiting for it since I'm a subscriber xD

1ola 2ola 3ola 4

It would be nice if you could react to the Super Mario Galaxy themes, they are simply incredible 👌

Can you please, please react to Xenoblade Chronicles music. Seriously, that music is amazing.

Just my personal preference, Allmother theme is amazing but for me Lady of Thunder fits better for end game boss theme

Really makes you feel like, at least in the initial skirmish with Narwa, you aren't fighting some mindless and monstrous beast. You're fighting a mother that just wants her babies to be safe as she rears them.

This ost feels more chinese than japanese imo :v

With how vacuous and lighthearted MH stories are I don't think they have the right to tackle topics as profound as killing a pregnant creature. They could, but they should treat the subject with nuance, which MH Rise clearly doesn't do.
