I LOVE how mind-bogglingly corrupt World Eater is. I probably would have been out protesting against the “shoot on sight“ policy too. I am convinced that they are at least as dangerous to humanity as the Kaiju are, if only because they’re willing to scupper defense efforts created by someone else.

Can we appreciate how cool Jack's voice acting is? He's nailed the 1930s American Salesman type voice perfectly! It's got the fake sort of cheeriness to it, before occasionally slipping to a more unsettling strictness. I love it 💕

I love the way you present the story, it’s a new and fresh aspect of storytelling and I’d to see more even after Kaijune has ended.

I'm feeling a plot twist where the World Eater are the ones causing the attacks, to create the demand for their offer.

I love how you're doing the lore! It feels even more immersive than in the last few monthly challenges! I especially like how [I SIGNED A CONTRACT WITH WORLD EATER AND THUS CANNOT REPEAT ANY OF THE INFORMATION FROM TODAYS PRESENTATION]

I always had a fondness for Xatu. A very unique and pleasant looking Flying type (plus Natu is pretty cute). So this Mega looks great and gives me hope Xatu might get a regional variant some day. Edit: Also, kudos to Jack for predicting me typing this.

The narrator gives HARD Verrick energy and I am so for it. Like aside from the whole early-mid 1900s marketing voice or whatever, he's just got the same petty energy, the same greed, and the same "if it isn't working than it isn't big/powerful enough mentality." I love it so much.

I noticed that “nephilim” (resurrection) has very human-like proportions, which make it seem much smaller than it’s canon size

This gave me multiple ideas. It occurred to me that if Kaiju were a thing in America, they would have easily found their way into American Comic books. Imagine Batman using his own Kaiju technology to fight these creatures. It also made me think of what it would be like if World Eater made their own Top Gun equivalent, and then having an action movie made about it in the 80’s .

A cool ability for mega Xatu could be that he starts the game foreseeing an attack, basically setting up a fire type Future Sight as it enters the battlefield

i genuinely can’t get over the idea of a giant mech being powered by the remains of a dead kaiju. that has got to be one of the coolest ideas i’ve ever seen

I was not expecting Nehpilim, I never would have thought to use the prompt "resurrected" like that!

My guess is that World Eater's Boss is itself a Kaiju, or entity of similar origin codenamed World Eater who's aims involve a more stealthy approach than its brethren. I mean come on the company's name is super sus.

Ahhh! My submission for "subterranean" made it in! Also, the Mega Xatu was incredible. Definitely not anything I would have thought of for "fire" or as a potential Mega in general.

You know Subjectively’s Jack did well with immersive storytelling when it’s hardly the second video and you’re already seething at World Eater. The designs, the voice acting, the files presented at the end, even the personality of the person doing the debriefing! I love it!

I love the story telling aspect of your art, it always feels like there more to it than meets the eye.

love the concept of using a piece of kaiju to pilot an anti kaiju mech, thats so clever especially love the possessiveness of worldeater over the piece lol

Pretty sad that Sunblot were destroyed,i'd love to see him soar in the sky

I *love* when the monthly drawing challenges come around, the stories you create and the worlds you build are so interesting and I love them, the pokemon videos are nice and familiar but I can *feel* how much you enjoy the process of creation during these monthly challenges and its a blessing, keep doing you and try not to burn yourself out this time! I can't wait to see what you do next :D

I already loved how you showed the lore beforehand but this is absolutely immaculate, I was genuinely a little freaked out at 8:22 only barely making out a silhouette of a person on the screen and I couldn't unsee it once I noticed. The designs this week have been incredible and I can't wait to see more! :D

Man World Eater is SHADY but their concerns are valid I think with the whole using a Kaiju core. For a different reason of course. What if they used a core of a aggressive one? Would that affect the Mecha? Could it be dangerous? Also WE talking about a Kaiju core as if it were their property gives me mad sus vibes, as well as the Kaiju attack happening right after people started protesting them…

The Nephilim is definitely my Favorite so Far

I allways love any creature inspired by rays but i think this one may be one of my favorites, the wings are so cool and look odly natural

Oh man, I LOVE deep blue's design. I didn't even realize the shape of the bottom half resembled claws until you added the glowing eyes, and that moment was so impactful. Also... I'm curious about the name A-Show. Makes me wonder if it's an anglicization of some Japanese word, since we're dealing with kaijus.

I liked your second rendition of Mega Xatu. It felt much more ominous and foreboding with that pose and the lighting from below, although that lighting did also make it look a little more like a Gigantamax form, admittedly.

I do writeups on Mesoamerica, and help history and archeology channels on the topic: I don't really think Xatu is based on Mesoamerican sungazing, because sungazing isn't even a major practice in Mesoamerican spiritualism to begin with. In fact, the ONLY context I have seen it come up is in discussions about Xatu itself, which makes me think it's fake: It's always possible it's in an obscure source I haven't come across, but I read academic research papers, speak to archeologists etc all the time, so If it's legit, it's at least not a major practice. As far as actual Mesoamerican divination practices, the most common was peering into mirrors, either obsidian or pyrite: Mirrors were associated with underworld gateways, as were things like caves and pools of water. The Aztec god of strife and sorcery, Tezcatlipoca, is even named "Smoking Mirror", with black smoke or wind gusts being seen in Aztec art as a visual allegory for a mirror's omens (speech/sound was depicted as spiral wind gusts in general). I've also seen reference to divination via the casting of maize seeds, and of course the 260 day ritual calendar most Mesoamerican civilizations had was used for astrology; and many animals, astrological phenomena, and other such things were considered omens... but I've never heard of seers or priests actively staring at the sun, nor can I find any sources in a cursory search for it that's not sketchy new age websites.

Pretty sure by now that World Eater is the one releasing all those kaiju. Edit: OH OK just reached THAT part when he said THAT That was earlier confirmation than I thought lol Oh gotta go, dude in a black suit is knocking on my door.

I know world eater is only around for kaijune but man do I need more of this. The presentation, the art, the story, it's all great.

I never realized how much I love corrupt stories with supernatural or weird elements until I realize they grow up having my favorite shows deal with those topics like avatar the last Airbender or how I now love the owl house that also has a corrupt king trope. And then my favorite animated series of last yearArcane. I’d do watch a show by subjectively.

This is my favorite challenge month yet. Absolutely stunning in every way.

My absolute favorite thing about “Deep Blue” is how the wrecked ship has the silhouette and perfect placement of a hair bow, and with the obvious indentations in the shell, the whole thing gives off the “cute-skull-with-bow” vibes…

I am ADORING the kaiju/mech designs, and the Worldeater stories are brain candy to listen to

Honestly I started watching the channel for the pokemon, but these monthly challenges? Where you make your own new world and story? Absolutely impeccable. Kaijune and Apoctober have been SO COOL and inspirational, keep up the great work

I'm relly loving the way you're presenting the lore with World Eater, it's so fresh and so fun

the lore for kaijune is really really intriguing and the presentation is super immersive - i’ve not always watched these month-long art challenges, but this one i absolutely will be tuning in each week

Mega Xatu looks like it's tired of being nice I adore how absolutely unhinged it looks

When you mentioned "sungazing" as Mega Xatu's inspiration i inmediately remembered how in PMD Rescue Team you can find Xatu staring into the sun and he tells you that thats what he does most of the time and if i recall correctly he also tells you that thats what gives him his prefognition ability

I can't lie the entire beginning portion had me in such awe, it's so eerie to hear how calm but in control World Eater is and I seriously can't wait to hear more. Great job on the designs they are super intriguing!

I just realized that Deep Blue has the same eye situation as Fore-Eyes! Was this intentional? Also, I'm loving the presentation of this challenge! The lore, the drawings, and the atmosphere are all incredible! The [REDACTED] at the end of the presentation was kind of upsetting though...

The world eater content and delivery is so good! This is the first time I've been actively invested in the non-poke portions of the monthly challenge vids!

I love this series so much, I know that these daily drawing videos aren’t the most popular but they are my personal favourite :)

I am loving the aesthetics and lore! It's very bioshock, and extremely unique! also, 10/10 transatlantic radio voice!!

Honestly thanks for dialing back the retro noise a bit. Was hard to comprehend what was said last episode

The way you present this month's prompt as well as the whole story line are absolutely amazing.

World Eater has such an SCP foundation vibe in the best way. I love competing secret factions based around mythos and this is such a great way to present it

The World Water format is perfection. Absolutely loving it.

god i love the kaiju but im equally impressed by those mech designs! im fully awestruck by your versatility as an artist, it makes me wanna learn to draw all kinds of different things

WOW! The designs are great! I came to your channel for Fakemon, but your other works are just as impressive!

It is SO COOL how World Eater’s films obviously portray them as villains, but also, they have enough self awareness where you’re like, kinda rooting for them at some points!

Omg MEGA EVOLUTION!!!😆 Love it. The mega Xatu design looks so powerful and mysterious. Great work.

I really like the xatu design, but i feel like the second to last version your were working ons posing suited how traditionally mega evo arts have a bit more of a dynamic bursting out of the camera feel

I love the world you guys build with all your monthly challenges. With the Nephilim it looks like it could tie in to the other challenges you've done previously. As for the mon, I always felt like xatu looked like it could evolve again. This mega evo does a good job of making it feel more complete.

so glad to see xatu get more love!

I mentioned it on the previous video in this series, but the World Eater presentations are just so much fun.

MAN!! you're mech designs and monster designs are amazing!! they are all so good that I can't pick a favourite

Mega-Xatu looks so cool! The added Fire-typing is such an interesting idea. Also the wings based off the top of a totem pole is a great design choice.

Did humans killing Genisis prompt the attack from the other kaiju? Because if so that would add an interesting twist in my opinion

Hi Jack, this was... perfect! Loved the combination of telling story, theme, and mid-centurt aesthetic.

World Eater’s designs are all phenomenal. Also seeing the first use of “Active” in their bios got me hyped

I really liked the design you put into Mega Xatu, nice to see more Psychic Types getting attention in the Mazah Region

Kaijune is just so amazing, I love the Pokémon designs as always but the World Eater story.

This is such a cool way of presenting Kaijune and I am absolutely drawn into the story- just uh gotta go back and watch week one whoopsie~

(Sees the thumbnail for the first time) *WHAT THE-* (Immediately logs in and clicks on the video) The world of World Eater expands! I think some of my favorites from this batch were Jet, Prototype, and Resurrected. The lore behind Nephilim was really intriguing and made me feel even worse for Genesis. Poor girl... She was innocent. I'll say this. I was not prepared for Xatu of all Pokemon to get any attention, especially since it's not normally a Fire type. But you know what? After you mentioned things like Mayan Sun Gazing? It all makes sense! Maybe the design could use some more work, but either way it was a pleasant surprise!

I LOVE Kaijune; these concepts are absolutely fantastic. Can't wait to see the other weeks.

The lore presentation is just, so so engaging, and I also love the xatu mega.

I love the narrative touch world eater brings to the prompt

Loving the lore for the World Eater and now Foresight!

Absolutely loving the kaiju and the way you’re presenting them. I’ve always been a fan of big animals and monsters and I absolutely love your art so seeing you creating these things is a dream come true. This story has me hooked and I can’t wait for the next chapter

Bro the fact that you made Kaijune extra fun with thw whole World Eater thing is so friggin cool, my personal fav was deep blue!

Not me getting excited when I heard "Suburb in Michigan" And man, I love your designs so much. I can only aspire to be even close to this good someday

LOVING this month's drawing challenge, and the way you present it!! i've been a big fan of the earlier ones, but this one in particular is REALLY GOOD! Keep it up, my friend!

The designs and story are mind bogglingly creative!

I clicked for Mega Xatu for sure, but ! I'm definitely fallig in love with the World Eater stuff and am a big big kaiju fan myself-- from the militaristic and retro aesthetic of the second World Eater PAKC, to the Nephilim's absolutely chilling and disturbing beauty I think I'm looking forward to next weeks' Kaiju stuff more than the Pokemon ! Absolutely stellar work Jack wow

Wow. That Xatu mega is incredible. Stunning. Also solar power is such a good ability for it. Wish this was canon.

Oh, my gosh, When day 9’s sketch showed up with the music all I could think of was Evangelion, don’t know if that’s apart of the inspiration but I love Nephilim.

Ya got me chuckling with the random dogs that appeared for just a few seconds.

Your Kaiju designs are AWESOME

i like how the final artwork in the world eater part of the video has pokeball-esc shoulder armor, almost like a subtle transition into the next part of the video. not sure if that was intended but it’s interesting regardless.

Love the editing and writing for the World Eater segments! Super fun and engrossing

I got a say with both Apoctober and Kaijune. You guys should do a comic series or a book series. They probably would sell well.

I love the retro scifi look of the Nephilim, I hope you bring that look into other mechs too! I didn't realize Deep Blue had a skull-like shape from the instagram post, but noticed it in this video. I like it a lot!

Fantastic designs, the Kaijus look awesome. And Mega Xatu looks great!

this is by far my favorite " month event " .

All the Kaiju for week 2 very adorable and lore is pretty good!

Hey, Jack! I was wondering if you guys would be interested in a video exploring the new Pokémon introduced in the new Scarlet and Violet trailer, and potentially coming up with some Evolutions for them! It’d be awesome to see what you come up with!

Suggestion for Mega Xatu, I would make the fire on the tips on its wings look more like paint that was painted on wood, like a real totem

I know most people only come here for the pokemon, but i really wanna talk about the stort telling. I love how in the little descriptions for the beasties you make it very clear that none of the kaiju out right attack human settlements, its more like there mere existence is causing chaos and calamity. World eater, on the other hand, (specifically Terraformer MK 1) outright states that it levels terrain on purpose.

Dude, that Nephilim with the Eye of Genesis is so cool! Total Lovecraftian / Neon Genesys Evangelion / mystical vibes. Terrifyingly cool

I like how the eyes on Xatu’s hair feathers kind of have the shape of an Unown.

YES YE S YES YES YES!! MEGA XATU!! the design is so cool! It's so nice to see one of my fav pokemon get love!

These all look really great! I love how the Prototype mech is basically a mishmash of existing military weapons, but in a cohesive body. I also appreciate the lore with the rival company and how they aren't squeaky clean either, what with *stealing* Genesis's eye. Two wrongs don't make a right. I thought the middle design looked the best for Mega Xatu.

Loved the video! The way you're presenting the World Eater section/lore is incredible, I was almost disappointed when it moved on to the Pokemon (almost, but not really, the Mega Xatu design is great)

i friggin love the work yall do on this channel

Again lovely designs, I am happy that the Crab Kaiju is still active, also the A-SHOW MK.1 kinda reminds me of the Tau Mechs from Warhammer 40k

Looking at Mega Xatu, I’m not sold on the theme. The Sun and Moon entries make Mega Evolution out to be a bad experience for the Pokemon who undergo it, so Xatu being the cause of the destruction it fears thematically makes sense from that aspect, but the only Dex entries that talk about Xatu seeing bad futures are the Ruby and Omega Ruby entries. The truly consistent aspect of Xatu’s Dex entries is that they don’t act on what it sees, be it because they fear a bad future, know that they can’t affect the future, or simply don’t want to alter the future. Because of that, I think a stronger concept for a Mega Xatu would involve it gaining immense power so it can easily alter the future, at the cost of losing its sight. In this way, a Mega Xatu has the power to alter the future it saw, but for as long as it's Mega Evolved it won't know what the effects of its actions are. A Mega Xatu who wants to alter the future can do so but won’t know if their actions were for good or ill. Meanwhile, a Mega Xatu who doesn’t want to affect anything won’t know if any action they take will change the future. This maintains the theme of Mega Evolution being a tradeoff; power for some weakness, but also provides a potential visual theme with Mega Xatu now flying blind.

the world eater lore might be my favorite of all the challenges so far

i feel like mega xatu could be the evil team leaders ace perhaps, bringing about an evil prophecy. Also i love the kaijune artwork and story/lore! Keep it up ^.^

Honestly love the mega Xatu, that is a super neat design and concept

I keep getting more and more impressed by your videos. Keep up the amazing art, production and attitude.

The seemingly random dog sketches were great
