If theres something we can always count on for the friendlocke, its that Mal always gets a new fursona

I loved the references in this like Gerber showing up with the rest of the villain characters after he single handedly killed half of your team, this was an amazing animation!

I love how Gerber and Mykyie are in the “villains shot”

Man this friendlocke was more depressing than usual

Obsessed with how much the art has improved over the three season animations. have had this on loop every moment it’s been released thank u everyone who worked so hard on making this season incredible :33

I am willing to admit that i cried while watching every season of Friendlocke

Yay, finally out! Loved how this turned out! Thanks for commissioning me and Dave to make another fun song, dude! ❤😊

Legitmately had the biggest grin on my face when this happened at the end of the Nuzlocke vid. Incredible journey, thank you for sharing. also loved the "Smosh got back together" acknowledgement at the end of the last episode.

Props to everyone involved in this animation. I can only imagine how much work this took.

AL and Collin went hard with animating the intro/ending. Amazing to see how they have improved through these past three seasons.

Genuinely rewatching this at 0.25x speed so I could look at each frame. So much care and love was put into this animation it’s insane! The production value of friendlocke should never be underestimated.

Props to the animators. Everybody who works on the friendlockes period is really great at what they do. Keep up the great work y'all!!!! Will continue to be a huge fan. 💥

If there’s one thing I’ve learned not just from this season, but from this series as a whole, Never Let Gerber Cook

Everyone who participated in this, whether they animated, made the art, edited the videos, or played their characters, they all did a wonderful job. I tip my hat in salutations to you all.

We're getting out of Montenevera with this one, boys!! 🎶 All seriousness this season was an absolute trip n a half. It was an adventure, through n through, and I'm glad I was able to catch a few of the streams. Excited to see what you bring to us next, Sodium Daniel, and remember! NEVER LET GERBER COOK!

the sweet visuals discracted me from the emotional turmoil I felt this season, 10/10 👌

Highly recommend watching it in slow-mo, there are so many cool little references I never would’ve noticed, like peppy having a picture of Sally’s legends arceus character and their shiny wurmple, or grunpilo having tire marks on him during the death sequence. Insanely cool work, looking forward to whatever is next.

I can't stop laughing watching the “Gerber cooking” references. Amazing intro and serie overall, thank you to everyone involved!

I love how every frame is packed with character and references. Good job to everyone involved in this!

Gerber burning his cooking was referred not once, but twice. That scene was referenced more then Torch Song Skeledirge crushing multiple Pokémon.💀

this animation is absolutely stunning, and while peppy was annoying at first we can see their development (and loss of annoying voice). the deaths in the ryme battle hit hard and i may just be sick and sad but this was truly a journey

I’ve been playing and watching nuzlockes for over a decade because it’s so engaging. it has a way of making you care about every Pokémon and see them as friends more than any game has natively been able to. And this series is easily my favorite. Bringing in real people and making actual characters allow for the stories and emotions to be built so much more and it’s lovely.

Man this session was so good. I am definitely gonna rewatch them. I preordered the gerber shirt. If there will be a session 4 i look forward to it. If not then these will be here and is such a blast

Lyrics (I think) You and I will venture out to find a brand new world Climbing through mountains Searching the darkest of caves We'll soar the skies And dive under the waves Along the way we'll meet so many friends some old some new They'll be right by your side Helping to make all your dreams come truuuuue Sometimes I wanna cry (Come on(move on?), take your time) Maybe things are too tough (It's ok, it's alright) But I know deep inside (Don't hide, show your light(might?)) There's no way that I can give up (Here we go, now I'll (let's?) get back into the fight) You run along the winds, you'll be flyin' You can't back down now as long as you're tryin' There's so much fun to be had You gotta give it your all and never ever hold back Yeah And even when things seem rough just know that your friends are always enough so- Let's watch the violet skies as the scarlet sun begins to riiiiiiise Side note: I listened to this so much on half speed that now the song sounds so fast. Also if you have any confirmation for the unsure parts comment. P.s: i took some lyrics from @thesunwillneverset who only commented on the "saltys video dump" version.

It'd take me too long to mention every little detail I loved, so I'll just go out and say that this was awesome! I love the Friendlocke Openings, and this one is the best by far! Can't wait to see Season 4!

Salty you can't keep doing this to me. Do you have any idea how much showtime altered my brain chemistry. and now this. salty. salty im bleeding. salty

Can't believe you called Megumi for a new cover. The art was great as always. Loved the opening, gonna hear it many times 😊 Hope you get your well-deserved rest after all of this journey and I hope to see the next adventure. I can't see the lives episodes because of time region differences but always loved to see them whenever I could for many days.

I love the limited 3D they use in this game, it is so charming!

Hey Salty, I absolutely loved the friendlocke, and these animations and songs are amazing! I think that a majority of your fans (along with myself) would enjoy an actual DnD campaign series on your channel. I think it would make for great content, considering the popularity the SaltyDkDan channel has gained from the 3 seasons of Frinedlocke. Also if you did this please make another anime intro/outro sequence, they feel about as legit as if a studio made them. Regardless, thank you for everything that you do to entertain us, it really means alot.

Thanks for putting Gerber and Jay together in like every frame you could. They deserve it

This is one of those youtube series that are just, insane, the amount of effort, the amount of stuff. I love this series, So much. ~K

This is my favorite intro of the whole series, the animation, the character designs, and the music are all amazing!

The friendlockes are my favorite videos on Salty's channel and this one was the greatest. And now this incredible animation comes out and it's just- *perfection.*

Damn what a journey this was. This was the first time I was here for the entire friendlocke. I wanna say thank Salty, the cast, animators, editors, and any other roles I’m forgetting off the top of my head for making this incredible series. While I’d personally love to see a season 3.5 with the new DLC, I understand why y’all need to take a long deserved break.

This is the Stuff that makes me come back to Salty so often, all the characters... Their Traits and some really really stupid memes that are so funny. Especially the Olive Oil.

this kind of video is my absolute Kryptonite. the opening song is an absolute bop so I don't wanna pause it. but every frame is crammed full of references so I want to pause it... so I'm just gonna watch it like 8 million times until I've seen it all... honestly I didn't think I'd love this song more than I did last season's OP. but I have been thoroughly disproven

Chrissy as Maushold and Claire as Blorpoido were the two character deaths that hit me the hardest because they were very interesting to me (Chrissy story arc went wild) THANK GOD VRISKA AND BRADY LIVED THO I LOVE EM. Vriskas commentary and over the top reactions were always a relief from all the other shit. And Brady just fukin carried so godamn hard like no wonder he has such a fine ass

Proud to admit I cried over every single credits

Ok no because now I need it as a full animated series

another banger anime opening! not just the songs but also the art is absolutely gorgeous!!

Man, this is incredible. I'm legit curious as to what sort of work goes into establishing designs for everybody- does it just catch on from fanart or input from the 'Mon's actor? This whole experience was incredible, massive props to everybody and all the hard work they've invested into such an entertaining epic.

mykyie and gerber appearing with the other killers had me cackling

I found this channel through this series. The pure hilarity did nothing to prepare me for how emotionally devastated I would end up

1:56 I love how pastey slaps the the beat XD

so keen for the final cut of all the streams! Great work!

Damn this really went from shit post to actually getting me to tear up, this entire series is crazy.

This is so amazing thank you to all the Pokémon past and present who helped Salty on his journey.

ok now make a full animated anime of the friendlocke. or have someone else make it. either way WE NEED ITTTTTT

I can't get over Mikey and Gerber appearing with the "bag guys" for killing friends xD

thank you salty of the dk dan variety your stuff always helps me feel better

I adore how Brady just had a straight up anime battle scene- it's fits so well lmao

Love that Annihilape got to be in there despite Mikey dying to that stupid squirrel before evolving. Annihilape is easily the best pokemon to come out of gen 9!

What an absolute masterpiece

I said this last time on the Season 2 Anime Intro, but I am such a sucker for rolling landscape shots with everyone doing a thing, so, along with the amazing music, 1:00 - 1:10 is my absolute favorite part of this. So many little things in it, like Gerbicycle running over Jayyyyyweed, Luke holding Christenes only to get bonked by Blorpoido, Cookie wearing their Never-Melt Ice, Pastey looking just, entirely out of it as he flops past, and hey, you even get to see 9 frames of Phil peeking out around a mountain! If I had to pick other favorites, 1:25 is cute to see Lark and Annihilape!Mykyie together (IDK if Annihilape's broken shackles are usually blue, but if not, it's a really cute nod to Mykyie's ties to Lark and how Mykyie had to effectively pick up the torch of "MC"), followed immediately by Luke and Sarah watching Cookie like the babysitters they were lol. 1:21 is a great genuine action shot (I think this was around the time Braidey took up the mantle of "Main Character" after both Mykyie and Luke got... unfortunate), 1:28 has exactly 5 frames of xKenBagelx noticing the giant hammer coming their way, 0:37 Sara consistently giving "autism creature" vibes before she evolves, 0:52 probably being the most intimidating I've ever seen someone draw Ryme, and, overall, the fact that the start and end are mirrors of each other. The beginning shows everyone before they met Peppy. Phil is still an egg, Luke is a lil guy prone to violence, Tarountula Vriska, KenBagel still being a lil Shroodle (love the lil detail in that shot of Jayyyyweed's hair/eyes/ears floating cuz ghost), and, of course, pompadorable little Quaxlark being carried by his loving father, Grimace. While the ending shows them at their "prime"(Pre-death, for most, except Mykyie who died and became Annihilape). Jayyyweed and Gerbicycle being friends; the aforementioned Mykyie and Lark as well as Cookie, Luke, and Sara; Mall Bingo being Grunpilo's closest (arguably only) friend & therapist (Also, side note, love her design this season. The heart motif slays me); Mykyie Jr. and Peppy Jr. playing in Braidy's mane now that Christene's evolved; Pastey still being an Extreme Omnivore and munching on one of Joe's bottles... I could go on but this is a wall of text as is All in all, I love this opening, as well as the Friendlocke as a whole. Can't wait to see your future endeavors, Derek, even if this is the end of friendlocke (For a while, at the very least.) EDIT: I CANT BELIEVE I FORGOT TO MENTION THE MUSIC! Megumi is always so talented, and this song is amazing as always. Just like last season, you could have told me this was an actual OP for the Pokemon S/V anime and I'd have 100% believed you. And GOD it goes hard. As I said before, 1:00 is my favorite part, but it's incredible all around. Love seeing everyone put their all into this project!

I always get cold chills from this creative series, this time is no exception

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS. IS. WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOOOOR

Everyone who worked on this did a wonderful job!

Thank you Mr Gamer.... very thankful for the beats which were dropped on this amazing year.

this animation and all its details makes me so happy :D! The song is so good too! Everyone killed it!

Love the part where Lark said "Its Larking Time" And *-died-* Larked all over the place 😂

Gotta say, listening to the ending theme at 2x speed is phenomenal. Song is great on regular, it just also works really well at 2x

Ahh god this animation is so freaking awesome and the fact that it’s based of the Friendlocke makes it so much better. I love this so much and the animation is so perfectly timed with the music, gosh it’s perfect

this is the type of video that i wanna watch frame by frame for all the little details, but doing so would take HOURS

Dude this series is amazing and never falls to disappoint

This is so good! Just finished binging this series and can't get enough of it.

I can't wait for the edited video (I like having all the friends as Pokemon art as I watch the adventure)

These animated intros have gotten so better with every season, props to the animators and songwriters for the hard work they’ve put into all this these past few years

This is so beautiful, it brings a tear to my eye.

i'm sad i cant get the poster anymore.: ( Amazing video. all of the friendlockes have been amazing! Animations were amazing to watch along with the ending anime style animation, along with the music! top notch stuff!

As good as always man. Keep it up

I only just now noticed that Gerber and Mikey are with the villains, that's amazing

everybody did an incredible job to make this happen!!!

Well NOW its on youtube. I spent a solid hour just looking for this dang song 😭❤ Its so good though so im happy its here now! This nuzlocke really was an adventure and an absolutely amazing one at that! 🌹🌹❤❤

The ending team was one of the best! Loved the videos.

This animation is absolutely gorgeous

As a wise man once said “Do to let him cook” sun tzu the art of war.

Knocking it out of the park with the best Pokémon series on KZfaq for a third time in a row. Absolutely park KZfaq.

ive now officially cried to all three seasons! awesome!

Truly my favorite content right now. The Friendlockes have all been absolutely fantastic. I really appreciate everyone involved. You are all amazing

Im starting to realize these animated intros are kinda the equivalent to Critical Role's animated intros. Salty really is playing DND with his friends.

God I love friendlocke These animations are always peak

I like how Phil is paired up with Chatbike in some of the scenes since they’re both very memorable and have good moments, but they’re not what most people would consider members of the team.

Absolutely awesome animation and love all the references

Da cheff! Always cheered me up even though how sad this was

SUCH A GOOD SERIES, AMAZING WORK, KEEP IT UP!!!!

I'm 100% convinced salty could GENUINELY make an anime

I love your videos, you put so much effort into them and it makes it worth it every time when I spend time watching them. also, it's been scary seeing you consistently upload so please calm down.

I can't even express how much this music makes me have the biggest smile on my fucking face, it feels like a celebration of Friendlocke as an entirety, and giving a sort've triumphant vibe, showing that despite hardships, a lovely and wonderful family has been born every season, and that warms my heart, even when it came to the Capitalist and Lark. I do admit I only have currently watched the anime and not the manga, but I still love this series with all my heart. I hope everyone apart of it had a wonderful time.

This is so epic and also looks amazing

Can, we take a moment to appreciate how the drum is in sync with Pastey slapping the ground as he moves

can't wait for you guys to do the DLC

You and I will venture out to find a brand new world Climbing through mountains Searching the darkest of caves We'll soar the skies And dive under the waves Along the way we'll meet so many friends Some old, some new They'll be right by your side Helping to make all your dreams come true~ Sometimes I wanna cry (Go on, take your time) Maybe things are too tough (It's ok, it's alright) But I know deep inside (Don't hide, show your light) There's no way that I can give up~ (Here we go, now I'll go get back into the fight!) If you run along the wind, you’ll be flying You can't back down now as long as you’re trying There's so much fun to be had Gotta’ give it your all and never ever hold back Yeah! And even when things seem rough Just know that your friends are always enough So~ Let's watch the violet skies as the scarlet sun begins to rise~

"watch the violet skies as the scarlet sun begins to rise" quite possibly the hardest lyric of 2023 i'm obsessed

Wow this is so cool

I just now realized that mostly starter has died during their mid stage: Lark(S3) and Sara(S1), but Jay(S2), despite it being a Randomizer, was the starter and didn't die in their mid stage surprisingly

The openings are always one of the best part of the friendlockes My favourite this season is Sara but unfortunately she hasn't been in the spotlight too much around the late game

THIS IS SO GOOOOOOOD

0:43 Grunpilo: you ruined the sammich :( Da Cheff: YOU RUINED-A THE SANDWHICH-A

I love how brady is like, the main character of this arc. Like, the torch was passed twice to him. Everyone was amazing though. Especially pastey.

This season of friendlock was very lemonade
