Thanks for having me! LONG LIVE GLAVENUS!

My god the Avengers are assembling guys. I magine when Yuna is hosting a 5th fleet podcast one day and inviting old hunters.

The holy trinity of wholesome monster hunter content creators. Hopefully Herny can make it on the podcast!

Marvel: Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover event in history. Rurikhan: hold my hat

Gaijin: "In Brazilian..." Ruri: *PORTUGAL CARALHO intensifies*

This is the definition of Tri-Force. All my bois in one squad.

This is legendary!!! Truly monster hunter legendary to have this trinity together!!

It is not often when you find that different youtubers who make the same type of content actually get along with each other rather than competing against each other. This is absolutely incredible and I love seeing this type of thing

Now this is the True 3rd Fleet Podcast! My three favorite MH content creators all in one place talking about the hype that is RISE! What can possibly be better than that?....except maybe it’s already March 26th! Thank you guys for brightening an otherwise cold, grey winter day!

Ruri, your promise of this weeks podcast being big definitely lived up to the hype!! So happy to see the three of you together!! Haven't got in very far yet, but hope Arekkz is sticking around for future episodes!

17:52 Rakna-Kadaki is pretty much guaranteed to be female. Its Japanese name in kanji is 妃蜘蛛 (kisaki-gumo), "Empress Spider". Plus, spiders are known for females usually being much larger than the males.

Arrekz representing the 2nd Fleet! Never gonna forget when Tigrex kicked my ass.

Would also love to see Chris from Darkside, Josh from Ragegaming, SuperRAD or everyone's favourite newbie hunter Hey Jay make an appearance in these podcasts at some point! EDIT: Never did I imagine that out of all communities, MH had people who actively despise certain content creators... Very disappointed to find this out ._.

Arekkz! I almost spilt my whole coffee cup when you made the unicycle comparison 🤣

7:26 Ah, yes, the legendary Eager Cleaver. The most OP thunder weapon in the whole game.

only 2 hours its not enough!!!! we need moreeeeee xD

My 3 favorite MH youtubers together in the same podcast! Let go!

The Switch Axe is most definitely the Almudron gear. Just like Arekkz said the colors fit perfectly and also he would be the only Monster that wouldn't have its armor shown in the trailer.

havent even watched this and i already need more

I saw the thumbnail of Arekkz there and got instantly so excited to listen to this episode! Three of my favorite youtubers in one place~

I really think the Switch Axe is Almudron. We've seen literally every other Monster's Armour Set (stuff like Barioth, Tigrex, Wroggi, Rajang etc. are shown in the background of trailers). The only Monster with no shown armour set is Almudron, and the only armour set with no associated Monster is the Switch Axe set. I think it's not that big of a jump to connect the two. The biggest connection: they are the same element, with Almudron being Mud, and the Switch Axe (in the preview video) being Water. Also they have the same colour scheme.

Rurikhan + Gaijin Hunter + Arekkz = Three Elder Dragons

Just seeing these 3 together makes me smile and happy :)

As if my hype couldn’t get any bigger, you guys drop the Holy Trinity of convos. My head is literally exploding

The collaboration we've all been waiting for!!

Wow this is truly special!!! Thank you guys!!! I been following all of you lol.

Oh gawd!! The triad reunited, it's the start of the end.

6:05 omg this is exactly what happened to me with mh3 tri, I was whaling on a lagombi for 40 minutes and I was like "Why is it not dying!"

Hearing my three favorite monster hunter KZfaqrs on one stream was pretty legendary. Thanks for the all the info and discussions.

My 3 favorite KZfaqrs in the same video I didn't know I needed this

Hey this is what i have been waiting for to happen! Oh man! We need more of this in the future!

That unicycle hammer looks SO COOL

Would love to see Herny on the podcast.

Once again you restored my faith in humanity! Rurikhan, thank you so much for making this happen! I did not think I could get more hyped for the Third Fleet Podcast, and now you casually throw Arekkz in the mix. 5 more podcasts to go and MH Rise is there for all the enjoy. I know it's not possible, but I do hope this Podcasts never dies..

Man the good vibes in this podcast are infectious and I’m LOVING it

Nice to see you three here ! Good episode

Wow this is amazing! The three greats in one place!!!

Can't explain the smile on my face, to see three of my four favorite MH content producers in one podcast!

The oil seasonings got me rolling hahaha, great chat guys. Love listening to you guys on the drive, keep em coming!

Oh damn this podcast is getting crazier each episode!

wow arekkz was a surprise! im really enjoying the podcast i hope it continues for a long time

We've actually seen a lot more than 2 AI in the Rampage Cutscene. If you look at the 4-player clips, all the Artillery Stations are empty. But in the 1-player clips, there's NPCs manning those stations. We also have Minoto and Hinoa, and then Iori and Yomogi for that cutscene. It's definitely premature to declare exactly how many NPCs will be present.

That was probably my favorite episode so far!

Been looking at and listening to the three of you separately as I recently went back and fell deep into MHW again(just got into Iceborn and getting my face beat in), was actually just thinking the other day how it would be cool for the three of you to have a joint discussion so... check! :) Really appreciate the positive vibes and great content. Keep it up!

It was only a matter of time guys. Really excited for this

Oh wow Arekkz + Rurikhan! I got goosebumps! Gonna enjoy this~

🤩👌the jointventure I waited for

Someone draw Arekkz riding in with the chicken cavalry please . Arena Showed me you can become a great hunter with minimal gear and new weapons.

Glad to see a second-fleet senpai come in and provide some assistance to these 3rd fleeters! Kidding aside, it’s great to see a collab with you guys! The hype is REAL!

I wish that dire miralis has a modern adaptation since I’ve never fought him. Imagine using the wirebugs to avoid his meteors and trying to climb up to reach his head.

I think this has been my favorite 3rd fleet podcast so far :')

Thank you, finally someone recognized Toukiden. That game was so underrated.

I think the key to getting into MH on your first pass is having people who enjoy the series already helping you get into the series. Starting with 3U I loved the game out of the gate even though it didn't click for me until 4u, but I had friends who were really into it and helped me through the game that kept me from bouncing off of it too soon.

I initially thought these were going to be too long and rambling, but.... I was wrong! I am now looking forward to the Third Fleet!

Funny enough, I remember Sandy Plains specifically for two things. That one barren like area which they showed, on the video, where the small monsters swimming in the sand. The other, is the oasis water part. But it was more like a mudded lake. Tri introduced Barroth, in that map. However, Rise seems to have really done a major overhaul on that map. It seems like much of it would seem to be a reimagining. Area 9? converted from Tri's map seems to be the one that remained as close to the original for me to recognize. The other parts had me say, "This is from Sandy Plains?" Funny enough, I am the same as the three of you. My first Monster Hunter I played was Freedom 1. And I didn't really get into it. However, it was Freedom 2 which where I finally clicked with it. It was the Khezu fight that finally got me to the place, trying to down it with Dual Blades. I could have given up, but this time I really pushed and pushed. Learned every aspect of the Khezu fight (since you have to be close with that weapon) and I learned so many systems before actually beating it. Getting over that hurdle was my awakening moment.

Honestly, I could listen to Gaijin talk about playing mhw with Yuna for 2 hours. Then be jealous that my girls aren't old enough to play mh with me.

The tron armor is from Almudron. The color and shapes matches. "But what about the yellow parts?" you might ask. Well on the websites, it says that Almudron has a strange golden liquid to control mud, the yellow part is from that.

The thumbnail is amazing lol.

Eyyyy Arekkz, Gaijin, and Rurikhan in one video!!!! All star vid!!! 💯

Now that I've watched the podcast, I must say I'm glad it exists. Well done. Before I go, I want to explain why so many of us hunters dislike the Arena. First off, it removes almost everything we enjoy about the series. Namely it stripps your agency. You can't choose your armor, items, the precise weapons.... Anything you've earned from playing can't be used. That's not why we who dislike the Arena play for. (This is actually one of the main reasons I hate the Fatails fight. That stupid 30 minute limit force you to play a certain way with all the DPS skills. There's no agency here) P.S. *Thank you* Gaijin for cleaning up the Apex thing. Me believing it was the MH4U Apex system coming back almost killed my hype. That and Relics from MH4U killed the game for me. Now I'm really excited for MH Rise:-)

Truly a legendary Monster Hunter council!

ayyyyy! our boy arekkz!

This has prob already been said countless times but I'd love to have Arekkz as a regular. The 3 of you make such an engaging dynamic with these discussions. Also if you are looking to get more guest on can I give a shout out for Herny? He's hilarious and super chill.

33:23 noooooooooooooo, i was looking forward to fighting Gore Megala in HD.

I'm so glad I went into Atahl-Ka blind. I just stood still in awe when it turned into a giant mech.

I just love Gaijin and Arekkz lowkey roasting each other

The OG Trinity of Monster Hunter youtube coverage! 😍🔥

lol that thumbnail is fantastic

the three best content creator for monster hunter on youtube. love this podcast. if possible it would be nice to see arekkz again in the future.

Hey guys, this is... great! What a fun team up.

All three legends on the same podcast is insane!! 🤘

Arekkz needs to be a permanent feature to this podcast!! He is at the core of all MonHan Hype with you both!

7:39 Rurikhan and Gaijin call Arrekz senpai, I could stop watching from this point my day has been made

It's kinda cool how hard they're shoving leviathan type monsters into the game by literally flooding every map with water and bringing back 3rd gen areas where the leviathan types were introduced. It's like they're trying really hard to make up for world's lack of water monsters.

OMG im so glad, ALL my fav MH content creators in one place :)))), best podcast ever and i didnt even see it yet :))

Love to see you three together.

I could literally listen to these guys for hours.

Arekkz is Kratos if he was a god of joy and smiles. the podcast has been nothing short of amazing, but the chemistry between the 3 of you is brilliant. please do another with Arekkz , sometime!

Love these podcasts! ❤️

if the apex monsters are fast like hyper monsters, i will be pretty excited. Hyper brachidios is a god damn racecar drifting around doing donuts. lol

AYYYY THE HOLY TRINITY

Commenting this before even watching past the 5 second mark... I'm seriously confused what channel I'm watching every time I click on these videos. And now you add Arrekz in the mix. XD

now this is the crossover of the century!

Nice! We got Arekkz on the podcast!

Keep em coming guys!!

All my favorite MH KZfaqrs in one place? Amazing.

Great job guys!

Ah yes the trinity of Master hunter 's I've been waiting for this :]

it was attack up 1 and divine blessing 1 for the preorder charm in monster hunter world

The thing I liked about kulve tartoth/safi is that it allowed me to experiment with weapon types. I didnt want to farm 4 different monsters on 3 different difficulties to make one weapon. maybe the weapons you got from them weren't all best in slot but they were decent and saved me alot of time. let me realize I like insect glaive and switch axe.

This was a lot of fun I hope Arekkz can come back sometimes!

Heeeeeey! This podcast's gonna implode! Ruri, GH, and Alex!

Awesome collab podcast

For layered weapons and the like I think they could do some great stuff like brining back the gormet set as layered. (Also, I do really hope some form of transmog is present, just so if I like a weapon appearance I can keep it around).

this is a dream come true. Liking before I even listen

Oh look it's all my favs in one podcast.

More of this trio please!

Hunting Horn buffing all hunters during rampage quests will be awesome and maybe key to kill the monsters before the apex one arrives.

About the Sandy plains, the original did have some small ruins as background details in a couple of areas, but it was subtle enough to not really add anything to it.
