"His greatest weapon is his credit card" Best lines of the intro xD

Phoenix - United Kingdom Jett - Korea Reyna - Mexico Raze - Brazil Sage - China Brimstone & Viper - America Yoru - Japan Cypher - Morocco Breach - Sweden Sova - Russia Skye - Australia Neon - Philippines Astra - Ghana Killjoy - Germany Chamber - France Fade - Turkey KAY/O & Omen - Unknown

you mentioned sombra but actually the one with the rocket launcher Raze has her same voice actor haha

The lore may not seem deep but it is, filled with theories and fantasies by fans who takes the informations out of the valorant videos + the game itself. The game has lots of lore/easter egg as well as each voice lines of agents filling in the story. It's actually dope.

Raze also has a cinematic that wasn't included in this reaction. I personally love it as a Raze main and highly recommend watching it.

Similar to you, I instantly resonated with Phoenix and was immediately interested. I didn't actually pick up the game till I watched the esport which looked really fun and now I'm invested

I just love your reactions especially when you really seem interested! makes me remember the day I started playing any of riot's game as well

The 15'23" on last jett animation was her new time. She was running to see how fast she becomes after training, you could see her reflection in glass that was slower than her. It was her old time record. Edit: also if you look closely, after she crosses the line, she clicks something on her watch, I believe it's timer (stopwatch, etc.)

Allow me to summerize the valorant lore since i can't do it fast enough on twitch chat. If you consider this spoilers, I'll delete it right away. Around 10 years before the incident the Venice in the Duelists video, a mysterious event called the First Light occured and spanned around the Globe. Gifted individuals are chosen randomly and are called Radiants, those who can use special abilities. Radianite is the new resource of many things such as electricity and technology supported by radianites is super advanced. Kingdom, a big company that works in many branches, they do research on how to harness, to fully exploit the power of radianite. They provide 3 quarters of energy the world uses after successfully harness this new resource. They began the valorant protocol and recruit numerous agents (Radiants and non-Radiants) in this order: Brimstone, Viper and Omen are the earliest members in the group, 4.Killjoy, 5. Cypher, 6.Sova, 7.Sage, 9.Phoenix, 10.Jett, 11.Reyna, 12.Raze, 13.Breach, 14.Skye, 15.Yoru, 16.Astra, 17.Kay/O, 18.Chamber, 19.Neon. Agent number 8 is either missing or gone rogue or on an undercover mission. In the Warm Up cinematic, next to Phoenix's locker (the number 9 locker), you can see the number 8 on the locker scratched off. The VALORANT protocol has the duty to protect people from incidents related to radianite. Times later, the amount of radianite on Earth 2 decreaswd heavily and they planned on stealing radianite from Earth 1 using a device called the spike, thus the war between 2 Earths began. Phoenix's backstory is that when he first discovered his abilities, his flames suddenly went out of control, burning his school, idk if there were any injuries but the incident got reported on the news but soon covered up by Kingdom, thus Phoenix is recruited to VALORANT. About Chamber, rather fighting against himself from Earth 2 like the other agents, he worked with himself against Kingdom in both Earths. Together they destroyed the same research lab belongs to Kingdom from 2 Earths and cause a portal between 2 worlds and its called Fracture, a playable map in the game and also the newest. This incident led to the deaths of many scientists and heavy property damage to Kingdom but Chamber refuses being the culprit (the funny part is that he doesn't even make it convincing). About Kay/O, he is neither from Earth 1 nor 2, he is from Earth 3 and has close connections to non-Radiant agents, especially Brim and Sova. In this Earth, X-Men stuff happens. After the Venice incident, people reacted to Radiants in a more agressive way, they began seeing Radiants as threats and dangerous individuals. Sick of this discrimination, Reyna, who is Magneto of this war, thinks that Radiants are the new era of mankind, she lead a big group of Radiants and started a war. VALORANT agents that are comrades in other world, became enemies in this world. Kingdom created Kay/O, in order to fight against Radiants. Kay/O managed to kill "the Queen" (thats how he calls Reyna) but sacrifices are inevitable, many of his comrades died. After that, since this Earth is unstable, a portal opened and he was dragged to Earth 1, reunited with his comrades and former enemies, he fights for the cause of Earth 1 and hopes to find a way to go home. I think that is it, based on my knowledge, if u guys know more, i hope u guys would share it to me.

my favorite agent is Omen and his lore is so mysterious and i love it. There are speculation that Omen knew Viper while he was still human.

I like how chat couldn't wait 2 minutes for him to watch the cinematic. Just had to spoil it when he's just asking questions to himself.

"his greatest weapon is his credit card" 😂😂😂 KIERAN

I'd say Valorant's lore is as deep as if not deeper than LoL. These cinematics are just part of the lore and much more can be found ingame with voicelines and interactive elements(though that arc has been finished)

The whole "Parallel universes" lore thing for Valorant is pretty fire, most games don't ever bother explaining why two people in different teams can pick the same character and kill each other, and I get why, it's really not needed at all, but the fact that Riot decided to explain it here and make it a key part of the story, it opens for many cool details in the maps you play in, and the different character interactions. It makes it a lot more fun

Ahhhh the nostalgia rewatching these… all those memories when they just came out, the hype.. man valorant has changed so much

basically in the valorant universe theres a material called radianite a powerful material which is basically condensed energy . on an event called ignition there was an accident in a facility that manages radianite distribution . the facility ,(kingdom) had alot of leaking ionized radianite which ended up not only creating radiants aka people with superpowers but also had enough energy to create a rift through another universe . in the other universe there is almost no energy and a severe lack of radianite but has immensely advanced technology. the two worlds first agree to share their raidianite but chamber and his clone from the second earth are weapons dealers and decide to sabotage the facility that distributes radianite across different worlds while making it look like the other world did it . he does this so the other worlds go to war and chamber can profit over the war. so the world with almost no radianite aka the attackers attempts to steal all the radianite meanwhile the the defenders try to protect their radianite to prevent there world from becoming a desolate , energy less planet

quick lore recap: agents with supernatural powers are radiants. they came in contact with radianite at some point and got their powers. Earth is in war with itself because Earth 2 is trying to steal Earth 1's radianite. Kayo is from the future and was Brim's best friend until he died in action (as a soldier) so they made him a robo body. Reyna has a little sister that died at some point (and she blames killjoy for it) Chamber is a weapon's salesman who is the only agent to ever work peacefully with his Earth 2 double (he got rich from selling guns to both Earths so thats why he always dressed nicely). Cypher lost his family so he asking Sage to revive them. Omen was a human but something bad happen and sage res worked halfway so he kinda a zombie. Phoenix burned his college down the day he got his powers on accident ( prob got his masters degree for burning it). Jett caused a hurricane in the city she was working. Neon just fast as f. Yoru is very toxic (no joke). Viper is pyscho. Raze just wants to explode stuff and kinda vibes a lot. Sova came in contact with his Earth 2 self while on a recon mission and he apparently let his Earth 2 double live (he the only person to go through a rift).

The last one "Can't Slow Me Down" is a track made for Jett with korean hip-hop artists, and the animated video is about Jett's vacation to her hometown Seoul, Korea and showing her daily life :D

In the music video the Brimstone (the one with the hat) scene shows how much pressure Brimstone puts on himself since hes the leader and the oldest of all the agents and he always tries to take lead The people are supposed to be us players helping out or something Phoenixs thing is showing how his confidence ruins his plans sometimes Sage (shes the healer) it shows how she tries to heal everything and how it harms herself sometimes or something

10:16 I just now realized that Yoru has some text behind him but a bit hidden unlike other trailers which had their text in big sizes and in red, which is SUPER fitting cuz he's known to be the sneaky agent. Love the little details.

actually the best reaction video i've seen. keep up the work brah

Valorant is the game for the moment. It is very hard though, especially for those who are not familiar with hardcore shooters.

im a regular val player and seeing you jump into this with excitement makes me very happy BTW: this is the first video that i watched on ur channel and i already subbed

Your reactions to these are so good! I used to play overwatch a lot too and valo is more fun imo ☺️

The Kaiba reference got me so hard hahaha u get a sub mate🤣🤣

19:44 your expression is priceless

if you where wondering where their abilities came from, most of them where either born with them like Yoru, Jett, sage, Phoenix, Astra, Neon, and Skye. There are also people that gain there abilities from technology like Sova, Raze, Kay-o, Cypher, Killjoy, Breach, Brimstone, Chamber, and Viper. There are also handful of people that get their abilities later on via an accident or coincidence like Reyna and Omen

Chats going crazy with MOMMY VIPER

Was waiting for it!~ ☻🖤

I'm a little late to this video but if you want to understand the agents in-game, I recommend watching Gregor's How-To Videos on the agents. They are really good for basic understanding of the agents

The clip of Phoenix shown in Neons trailer is actually a snippet from the Warm Up cinematic, the part right before max bot beats him the first time

He's Awesome, so is this Animation 😍

I love these reactions bro!!ur really funny to watch 😂😂😂

0:17 “omg! he’s kaiyaba, his greatest weapon is his credit card” that got me so good and it makes so much sense

I love how you can make someone like me who isn’t into Valorant at all low key want to now to know all the lore thanks to your reaction to these trailers

there are 4 types of agents: controllers, initiators, duelists, and sentinels Controllers like Astra and Omen, often control aspects of the game or controls how people play Initiators like Sova and Kay-o start the battle with a scan or debuff Duelists like Reyna and Neon, thrive in fights through movement, debuffs, or survivability Sentinels like Killjoy and Sage, are the support for healing or gathering information

I got a valorant ad at the start and I thought it was part of the video

Just stumbled upon the channel man this was a great reaction. Keep up the content I’ll be sure to check the rest of the channel

got recomended me randomly and I luv it

I love how real the characters are; like they would be humans The voicelines and how they act.... Especially the german character and the german voiceline while the scene with the "bomb" That was so cool to see ngl

People: Valirant copied Overwatch! Overwatch players: That's cool!

“Give me Yoru and Phoenix TV Show” THIS MAN UNDERSTANDS ME

i loved these reactions. when i first got into valorant. i watched ALL of these cinematics. Had very similar reactions to you

“He’s Kaihba his greatest weapon is his credit card!” Bruh your hilarious

@ChocolateKieran Jett was on poster in Giant video (she very similar to that Akali skin =) but it was Jett 100% as a easter-egg/teaser)

I thought it was really cool watching you figure things out about the lore just walking into it completely blind on how the game works, I really enjoyed watching this video

one of the best yt videos i have watched in the past 1y

The day we get an Overwatch / Valorant crossover they can have my money.

Eu queria que ele tivesse reagido as musicas com a Raze! Adorei o react

I love how the chat said "mommy" "mommy is back" when Viper appeared lmaoo

On warm up cinematic when you said Phoenix and Jett doing teamwork for the first time, the duelist cinematic actually shows the mirror Jett

Valorant has an amazing storyline, and has a lot of lore, it actually deserves its very own series.

you should play it's less complicated than league and the in-game voicelines are very enjoyable, i play sova the cool archer they didn't give a voice line in the cinematic

bro i loved this video, your vibe is so cool. Earned yourself a new subscriber 😎😎

Liked as soon as you mentioned the Kaiba's credit card superpowers in the intro.

Its actually kinda incredible how he is picking up Valorant so fast like wth. When i started playing Valorant i had no idea was going on

Cypher is by far the best

Intense Chamber lore coming up: I know I am a month late and you might have figured this out but in lore chamber works with himself between worlds and frees brimstone and viper from a separate dimension that they got trapped in on a mission, that both chambers only have access to. He doesn't have like fire or air powers, but his abilities are guns that are made from radianite gold that he put in his head (explaining the gold lines) showing why he can summon a pistol, sniper, teleport things, and alarmbots. (All of these are from radianite gold)

floating island with hanging waterfalls and he immediately thought of reverse world in pokemon platinum LMAO i love it

I really like this guy interactions with the chat.

ayy lets goo, finally someone I can relate to. I literally downloaded valorant for phoenix😅

The 15'23" in the jett video (i found out from googling and this video is 1y+ so it probably doesn't help anymore) is her PB of the run that she was doing. There being other times as well on there being her previous best scores.

The voice actress for Jett is Shannon Arum Williams, former Kpop star who was born in the UK. She streams on Twitch and plays valorant a lot.

There will never be agent skins, because the game realise to much on knowing who your up against and what there abilities do so skins will never work as that would make the gamer to confusing as it is still a tactical shoot after all.

I don’t know if this was mentioned at all, but it’s kind of a meme that if Cypher appears in a cinematic, he will be shot

Love your reacts!!

The mayo trailer basically shows his own lore bc he had past life with brimstone but for some reason he is back in time before the radiants took over, he was only created to deal with radiants

Phoenix cannot revive himself, but when he uses his ultimate it creates like a spot on the ground, and there is a timer to when you get teleported back to it. While the timer is going, you can play like normal, but if you die or the timer runs out, you get teleported back there. So he basically creates a clone of himself.

You need to React to the Weapon Skins in this game, Almost all Are sick

like how the Phoenix in „Warm up“ acts exactly like any autolock dualist- run n gun, no aim :‘)

2:02 I was only thinking of west jetts intro there I was waiting for the bababooey lol thats the only way I can remember it now

i LOVE the way you laugh SOOOO CUTE 😳

i know you're a massive arcane fan but if you want any suggestions the videos for apex legends are also pretty bomb ass

Loved watching this! I'd love to see Apex cinematics too, they're a bit longer individually but it'd be super cool to see as the lore in Apex is also really cool, great bunch of different personalities aswell

mans highly educated he literally turns anything to references without losing sense

Played overwatch for over 4 years and made the decision to switch to valorant. Love the game but the skins take all my money.

I recommend you to try to main Skye, she's more of a duelist than other duelists. Yoru's pretty cool too, but he's hard to play.

I saw his face in the thumbnail, and thought he was saying "oooooh?🤔" and the first thing he says is exactly that 😂

Bro i just realized that your outro is from the time i got reanimated as a slime. Big w

I think it time to react to all valorant valorant skins and skins trailers Kappa

in canon theres only two ships, raze and killjoy are dating (canonically) and then pheonix and jett flirt with eachother in game, brimstone has a no-dating rule but those 4 dont listen

Great reaction vid. Im digging ur videos

im glad the voice of Tank Dempsey from Black ops Zombies Lore became Brimstone such a perfect fit

Hellô Kieran 😁 love your reactions, so enthusiastic! I recommend you to watch SirJeppy's videos about lore, he explains really well all the agents stories and there is a war comming! Check it out 👍

First time watching you and after the Video it just didnt felt like i was sitting 50 min watching you.You know what they say, time passes by faster when you have fun. subbed ✅

Dont know you at all. Algorithmic gods brought me there. But as a Valorant player it was funny and refreshing discovering almost 2 years of content x) Love the energy! cheers

The whole anime animation was also a little hint to new skins that were gonna come out. The skins have kill banners and sounds, end kill animations. The giant black hole was one of the end kill animations

4:34 OMG! You sounded just like him! Hahahaha Awesome!

2:00 my brain automatically processed , BABABOI , WestJett here lmfao

Your reactions are so good! btw, I'm a yoru main. Well, you got a sub FOR SURE!

I am literally watching a video about valorant cinematics and I get a valorant cinematic ad 😂😂😂

Omen is most likely Canadian, he died from a radianite explosion and sage could only revive his soul, she couldn't reach his body, he is basically just shadows. Kay/o came from a parallel universe in the future but most likely american, his necklace is the one his old friend brim had when he died, that's what the bullet hole is.

For the champions thing it's a skin in valorant that when u get a headshot on the final person it has a cool animation (not telling u what it looks like)

i think the regular people you see in the Die For You music video, are actually people that are significant in the backstories of the agents they appear with. but i could be wrong, as there's not much to go off of. also, Brimstones VA is also Dempsey from Black Ops Zombies, which I think is cool

Raze have 2 videos too, but 1 is only in "Valorant Brazil" chanel for now

Btw Valorant is happening in the future according to the lore is there also some radianite is so unstable you need to store them in boxes on icebox and other maps radianite gives powers to the agents to use their abilities which they found after the big light out (Omen kinda died but sage healed him up again so he could live) Yoru's mask is filled with radianite and its very old

that music actually is in the game theres a certain skin when you get last kill that that song plays the animation is like crumbling to dust

okay but the 'his greatest weapon is his credit card' was so accurate

great video man! great reaction
