The Purple X being able to absorb multiple creatures isn’t weird. Fusion shows this multiple times, most prominently with the SA-X. Remember the 2nd phase is a fusion of Samus’s Power Suit and a Hornoad. This is also seen with the aquatic Zebesians in the water area, as they are combined fishlike creature.

I think with the E.M.M.I and the central units, Samus is using the Metroid ability to absorb and transfer abilities just like when "the baby" stole the hyper beam and passed it to Samus in Super Metroid. Of course, it's also apparent that the power suit can adapt and integrate foreign technology. Samus does this in Fusion when she downloads upgrades from the federation, and she does it TON in the Prime trilogy.

For the Emmi, I believe Samus's suit can integrate foreign tech into itself

I like to think Aeon is a side effect of the X. SR388 has large reserves of Aeon because it has lots of X residue. Because Metroids constantly consume Aeon in the form of X, they mutate and evolve only on SR388. Samus just finished an adventure where she consumed a metric ton of X, so her body can now use it’s effects as long as she has the stamina. (Hense why phantom cloak costs hp) Ravenbeak is utilizing Aeon the old fashioned way- using reserves derived from inert X. It think the Thoha tribe created the metroids so the could safely Harvest aeon, but didn’t realize the mutagenic effects on Metroids.

There's another possible option for where the EMMIs and their powerups come from. The manga shows that 10 Chozo were evacuated off of Zebes by the Federation 3 years before the events of Zero Mission. And they've never been heard from again.

Okay, so I want to bring up a couple things, one about Artaria and the other about the X-Parasite. Since Artaria freezes over when the reactor in Cataris is shut down- and presumably, the reactor in Cataris didn't come with the planet- I always assumed that being frozen over was actually Artaria's natural state and the Chozo melted it down, not the other way around. I also wanted to mention that we have actually seen Purple X before: specifically the Varia and Wave Core-X's in Fusion. The Wave Core-X in particular is a very vibrant violet, similar to Raven Beak's X. I always sort of assumed that Raven Beak's X was a Core-X, just without the shell (perhaps to aid in absorbing more creatures?)

The Zombie Researchers from Fusion seem to be a confirmation that the X can combine whatever DNA they wish, as the manual for Fusion suggests that they were humans mixed with slime creature DNA to make them more viable as a combat form. Also of note is that Kraid was completely submerged under the lava, yet seemed to be assimilated into the X that infected Raven Beak as seem by it's Kraid-like face, suggesting that the X can also survive in the lava.

Environmental story-telling is one of the things the Metroid games do really well, and one of the things I like most about them. Some nice insights in this video.

When it comes to an X Parasite exhibiting traits of multiple hosts, that isn't unique to the purple X. The final battle with the SA-X in Metroid Fusion shows the SA-X mutating into a mixture of Samus and the hornoad that was the SA-X's original host when Samus first encountered it.

So I actually have the answer to how samus acquires an E.M.M.I. power up. If you look at how she touches a central unit you can see a small amount of its essence being absorbed by samus before receiving an omega cannon. She is using her metroid DNA to absorb power, although probably not knowing it. She does something similar with E.M.M.I. when she puts her hand on it after destroying one.

In terms of the EMMI’s, I thought after Raven stole Samus’s abilities, he input them into the EMMI’s.

Croco-Doll. 0:01 This sounds like a kid making a videogame rumor in the playground about Metroid Secrets.

The beginning skit brought back memories of early internet fake Super Metroid rumors, specifically laying a bomb exactly over the eyes of each boss statue to unlock access to am area called Warfair with all of the items in the game and maybe more

14:00 Many X combine traits from multiple hosts, very notably a bunch of late-game enemies in Dread like the Quetshocker, as well some creatures in Fusion like the Geruboss, which is specifically different from Geruta-X, and the SA-X's final form.

The only problem of being faster then light, is that you can only live in darkness

I'd like to know which exact rooms you can see the elevator shaft samus used in the prologue. That was a detail I missed, despite playing it multiple times.

14:00 Actually we see combinations of species in Metroid Fusion, such as the half-fish half-space pirate fusions in Fusion, so this ability to merge DNA isn't anything new. Not to mention the SA-X that Samus fights having a monstrous form at the end being a combination of different species.

I think there’s a lot of potential for a future Metroid game where Metroid transfusions are performed in an attempt to replicate Samus and go wrong.

All these secrets and Easter eggs are a huge reason I love series like Metroid, Zelda, and Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

Considering the missing Chozo ships we see during the escape, maybe the X aren't fully eradicated yet.

The x that raven beak is absorbed into is the one from Kraid His claws have disappeared if you go back

I've been under the impression that the Z-57 X parasite survived its encounter with Samus (although its protective shell was consumed by the lava), from which point it went on to absorb Kraid's remains before finding its way to Samus and Raven Beak. It wouldn't be the first purple Core-X either, as Metroid Fusion featured the purple and green Barrier Core-X and the purple B.O.X./Wave Core-X. (The Core-X were color coded according to the abilities they carried.)

Samus has been gaining abilities from consuming X. Why would this not hold true for the Metroids, causing them to gain some measure of the X's abilities?

My thought was that the purple X was just the core one from the Experiment. It fell in the lava, sure, but I'm pretty sure the X are able to survive in lava just fine in Fusion, and wherever lava is in Dread. Kraid also descended into the lava, so his remains could've been absorbed somewhere, leading to the amalgamation of DNA. And it's in it's base freefloating form instead of surrounded by its core because... well, it'd look weirder if it weren't. Maybe it shed it's shell intentionally to infect Raven Beak- if Samus can't absorb a Core X without breaking its shell, then maybe it can't infect someone without shedding it either, and it takes a bit to regrow?

Samus being able to gain powers either from artificial or organic seems to be an because the chozo made it to be the ultimate modular tool, so it can interface with anything. We used to think since luminoth or the GF had knowledge of birb magic enabled it but it might be more vague. Head canon is that normal beings have a small amount of aeon energy and that's what Metroids consume, and we only see it on sr388 because the concentration was so high? (ALSO Croco plush pls!)

What a great video. Orpheon deserves a Million subscribers.

I feel like this series is going to go the direction of captain America’s super soldier serum. Ravenbeak stated that Samus is now the perfect weapon, so maybe the next game will involve samus running from the galactic federation as they try to use her unique genetic condition as a weapon of mass destruction?

14:30 Its Outer Shell got Fried but we dont have confirmation it couldnt Survive Heat It probably saw he couldnt beat Samus so he went back to collect some DNA to Mimic Thus Finding Kraid Spike and seeing Raven Beak as a potential Host he went there Or im just Trippin and its a Random X Parasite

The greatest mystery for me is why the metroids were programmed to be enemies of the mawkin. The mawkin were allies of the troha and promptly answered their call for help when the metroids got out of control. Only after trapping them that raven beak betrayed the troha. So the troha had no reason to programm the metroids that way when they had the chance, by the time they had a reason to do it, they no longer had a way as the metroids were already sealed

If I remember correctly the X parasite can survive lava. That’s implied to be the parasite that will eventually make it’s way to Raven Beak.

That croco plush is so cute 🐊🥰

I would want the next games to be the federation hunting Sami’s, because she is now the most dangerous being in the galaxy. Either to kill her or to get her DNA.

Great vid but side note loved the use of FFXIV and Megaman ZX music.

Yes. If we can't explain something in Metroid, just blame it on the Chozo.

I mean as far as the purple X Parasite, people have speculated that it absorbed either the body of the Kraid we fight or a piece of it. It's notable because the spike that Kraid fired at Samus in the cutscene is missing before we see the abomination at the end of the game. It specifically disappears after when the X as a whole are released from their captivity (I found out via the Looygi Bros channel). For the E.M.M.I.s to be using abilities like what Samus uses, there has always been an underlying hint or suspicion that the Federation in some way are trying to copy Samus' abilities to fulfill their own needs. I don't remember where I heard it from before but there IS a theory that The Space Pirates and the Federation are possibly working together under the table. Basically hinting at some level of corruption in the Federation. Ice Missiles being one of the key factors and some of the weapons that were being developed that Samus wasn't intended to be given while aboard the B.S.L. station in Fusion. Plus technically she stole and destroyed Federation property (the ship and station respectively), which could easily have led to an idea of the Federation putting out a galaxy wide warrant for Samus' arrest. Or was it they had Samus' abilities that Raven Beak drained from Samus at the start of the game? I mostly ask due to their internal codes having the initials of what powerup they have that Samus gets.

samus's metroid DNA is likely why she can generate aeon now

Omg I thought im already subbed, this is just what I needed! Love your content

I knew he was just joking in theorizing about scanning the amiibo in a specific order, but I was still a lil bummed he never came up with a prospective order.

I feel like the overall map structure is something I left a really long comment about on a different video Edit: I disagree that the EMMI had chozo abilities installed before launch. The exposition text says the abilities they have are a result of adapting to the environment they ended up in. I think her Metroid DNA waking up is why she can take the abilities for herself. Edit2: she can definitely still flash shift in the Metroid suit. Also speed boost.

glad to be able to watch a new video from this channel. Just found it recently, and it's nice.

6:26 the music in the background gave me nostalgia when i first played Heavensward...

Love your videos bro

Based on what you said, I'm guessing Raven Beak experimented on Z-57 (which is why it was so recent, and not decayed) in order to figure out how he could use the hyper beam himself.

It would have been so cool to fight the aeon statues

The purple X also absorbed Kraid's belly spike. In the endgame when Raven Beak was taken over by the X, the face that splits open was actually Kraid's.

I think the purple x absorbed the spike that Kraid shot out before he died and than traveled around for a bit, I don’t know, and than absorbed Raven beak and than combined the dna from both, thus why the abomination that we destroy looks like a color Raven beak and Kraid

Here's one plot thread I never understood about Dread and is one of the reasons why I don't think the X Outbreak was a good addition to the story: By the time Raven Beak and the Mawkin arrived on SR388 for the first time, the Metroids have more or less taken over the planet, with the mutations ruling over the lower caverns; how in the hell did an X manage to infect a Mawkin soldier when at that point they were driven to the brink of extinction, much less infect a soldier that went unnoticed until back on ZDR?

I only found one secret from Metroid Dread and that was Kraid. Was he a clone (lame) or the real deal (how). I believe Dread’s story, gallery, and the previous main canon games respond everything else.

I don't know why you thought Aeon was available only on SR-388, to me it is like the basic life force, a force that has always been part of the universe and absorbed by metroids. Like the Force in Star Wars, it's a mystical part of every life form but not anyone can control it, Samus training and suit allow her and Raven Beak, and probably any other Chozo, to use it in specific ways to perform supernatural tasks. It's more of a retcon, I think we shouldn't see Aeon has not existing in Super Metroid, just not expressed through gameplay.

Digging the SMTIV Apocalypse music here. Fits nicely 👌

X parasites being able to replicate and combine multiple hosts is nothing special, it was shown in metroid fusion multiple times with enemies fusing together, like that weird fish pirate, I think it also happens a couple of times with dread's enemies. I think the reason Raven Beak's X parasite is purple is to draw a distinction between it an everybody else, you know... making the final boss a little bit more special. And so that you can recognize it if you decide to go back to kraid's lair and see it fly off. If it wasn't a unique color, the already hard to spot and interpret easter egg would be even harder to understand. Although that is not a story reason. But honestly I also don't think there are story reasons for x parasites that recharge missiles to be a different color... it is mostly just gameplay convenience. I do think aeon abilities not being present when using the metroid suit is due to the suit unconsciously absorbing any energy it has available, which is why Adam stopped Samus from touching the ship. Although I wish this wasn't the case lol, loosing flash shift suddenly always disorients me. And makes the frantic escape feel much slower than when you play the game normally

The EMMI are able to procedurally modify themselves, as stated by Raven Beak, which may imply that they gained their abilities from exploring their surroundings. This would also explain why the official art of the EMMI has them with no faceplates. This is a trait they all developed (overdeveloped in EMMI-02SM's case) later. The names, then, could have been designations assigned to them by Raven Beak and Quiet Robe, with the EMMI only having numbers be default (this then leads into the hilarious idea that Raven Beak named EMMI-01 "Pathetic").

Crazy how I just finished your first part mystery video and then I see that you posted your next part just 30 min ago xD what a coincidence

I like to think Z-57 is apart of Raven Beak-X as we know the X can survive lava in Fusion, and also Kraid was submerged in lava but still became an X.

Is it possible that Metroids generate their own aeion energy, and that's why Samus can generate it naturally in Dread but not in Returns?

I kid you not, I was sure that the empy space in the top right corner of the map was to make space for a future area DLC with maybe a Ridley boss battle in it. I'm still bummed that that space was left empty, I still feel like it was done on purpose... That said, I know other people have already said this, but the Xs should be able to survive lava (I'm pretty sure we saw Xs in lava in Fusion) and they could all mix and match different hosts ever since Fusion (a great example are the fish Zebesians). Also, we've seen in past games that the GF has access to some kind of Chozo tech that is compatible with Samus's suit, like the Fusion upgrades, so I'm pretty sure that's how Samus got the Emmi's powers, she took the data the GF gave to them.

BOMBERMAN 64: THE SECOND ATTACK MUSIC GETS THE MOTHERFUCKING LIKE.

The experiment's ability might have been the spider ball given it's ability to ....climb to walls. I'm not sure if Aeion is what made the metroids evolve in SR388. Because we don't see any of that on Metroid Fusion and Other M

More Metroid! Thanks for the 11pm fix.

15:57 ?? uhm NO the upgrades/abilities are ALL still there, except for the other Suits and Aeion ones but this Suit is stronger than the Suits she had I'm sure

About the EMMI having Samus's Power ups. We know that Chozo power ups are software that the suit turns into Hardware through Energy to Matter conversion. We also know that the Galactic Federation have at least a basic understanding of the Chozo software, enough so that Samus can download Upgrade Data. However they have not yet mastered the energy to matter conversion. So they had to split each power up between each EMMI so that they had enough space for the specific hardware of that power up. Otherwise, if one EMMI had the software for all power ups, but also have space for the Hardware, it would have to be fucking massive. This also explains why Samus can simply gain the abilities from the EMMI. she's gained foreign technology before, and technically this is all Chozo software except for the Spider magnet thing. So she should have no trouble absorbing the software for her own suit's use. A reminder that Chozo Technology is fucking ridiculous.

8:13 Mega Man ZX music for the win

Only question left is why Ridley wasn't included.

Oh shit, new Orph video! Let’s go bois! WEW!

If the z-57 was a metroid mutation he would't be infected by x

Raven Beak X is just raven beak and kraid combined and also i heard that kraids thingy that he shoots at the end of the bossfight dissapears when the x get released

That SMT 4 Apocalypse ost playing, based choice.

Ok I've always wondered, do you draw all the art in your vids yourself?

I've always wondered what energy Aeon really is. If we think of how it was introduced, the remake of M2 makes it canon pre-Super but Its left so vague. Hot take but what if Aeon is that secret energy Metroids thrive on, that energy that empowers Samus' suit with Mawkin abilities, the same energy that Space pirates couldn't trace. The energy Metroids suck from living hosts and possibly something that the X are made of since they were their natural predators. Hence why Metroids and X parasites are so synonymous now with you. I had always wondered and wow you're right that X core that burned was likely holding a hyper beam.

What is EMMI 01-P ‘s power up?

Excellent coverage on so many topics throughout the game. BirdMagic4Life

The font in the thumbnail caused me so much confusion because it looks like ‘my steries’ and I was just stuck thinking “what the hell is a sterie?” But to be fair, I am dumb of ass

I know I’m a bit late but something that seemed to slip by me is do we know the origins of the fusion suit? I know what happened in fusion but my question is more so what IS the fusion suit. We know it’s organic but where did it come from? I don’t think it’s galactic federation technology. My theory is maybe that when samus attempts to summon the power suit at the start of fusion due to the og power suit being removed and the Metroid dna now inside her….maybe her trying summon her suit ends in the result of the fusion suit? That’s my guess but I was wondering if I missed something

I totally saw the thumbnail as My Steries, and I was like 'what the fuck does that mean?' before I figured that it was 'Mysteries' 😅

Whats tour opion on a co op mode in the next game

Fuck that font. I thought the thumbnail said "My Steries" 💀

Imagine living in a universe where the great power influencing everything behind curtains is 🅱️ir🅱️ Magic™.

I better not be the only one that read that thumbnail as "my steries "

one thing about series i over analyze in the architecture for the federation , like samus being in a cave, chozo structure or pirate base , the layout makes sense , Bird magic and aliens but for the humans / federation, it makes no sense and buy this i am talking about the BSL research station in Fusion and Other M , its death trap for and average person with no power ups, like how are you supposed to get any work done when you have to shine spark chain to get to your terminal ?, and all this after you've blown portions of the station and cause structural damage to get form one side to the other ?, can you image your first day at that lab?, " why is there a 200 ft gap and drop in this room and no railings ?", " so the doors around here can only be opened with missiles?..why?" , " i have to climb 400th vertical shaft to get to my work station, the f%^&, and what the hell is a morph ball??", lol , these are the things i think about

So I know Samus can absorb life energy or whatever it is from others and even technology like the bots but technically she could do this before she got the Metroid dna. Could it be because of the chozo dna?

NEW ORPHEON VIDEO ABOUT LORE FOR MY FAVOURITE METROID GAME SOUND THE ALARM BELLS LETS GOOOOOO

YOO, great video

Ngl I thought the thumbnail said Metroid Dread: My Sisters! LOL

Please.. when they made Samus originally, they didn't ecen think of a real backstory or persona. Sure there might be some chunks of storytelling in Dread, but I could bet they didn't really sit down and properly think about it.. not like Dark Souls game do with their many layers of world building. Metroid has always felt like an afterthought (even if it works because of it).. specially the change to Aeon abilities. You are probably doing more thinking than they've done so far.

What is the track used at 13:47

Babe Wake up New Orpheon Video

But hey, that’s just a theory! A GAME theory! Thanks for watching!

If you do a video explaining Seamus’s gunship, I’ll subscribe

Chozo like building underground? That's ironic.... them being bird aliens and all....

i want to know why raven beak turn into kraid when the x fuses with him in the end?? nobody talks about It.

I want a plushy too.

Has any one tested that amiibo thing?? lol

❤❤

Love the ff14 music lol

I want to know how the planet went from zero to overrun by X in like five minutes.

Megaman zx music aaaaaa

okay but the magaman zx ost use >>>>>>

Video starts at 2:50

What did I miss an area in Metroid 5?
