I like how you included the exact reason why Connor was in the prison as something that is INTEGRAL TO TECHNOBLADE'S LORE. it's honestly the best moment on the smp

4:22 see what people who didn't watch this live don't get, is that Tommy and Wilbur never gave Techno direction when Schlatt pressured him. its easy in hindsight to say "oh he was peer pressured" but at the time, he was simply called up onto stage while Tommy and Wilbur watched on, they didn't even message to intervene or offer another option, Techno HAD to because even his alliances WEREN'T helping, and that makes all the difference looking back, now.

12:22 The actual interaction was "I'm spawning a wither." The offer was "give me the weapons and I help you kill it, or deny me the weapons and I help it kill you."

To add the recent lore: -were technoblade is from, people only have one life. During the festival, along with being peer pressed, he was scared of dying, permanently -Tubbos entire vault and house was ransacked, his belongings all stolen -In the beginning of the stream before he meets up with Tubbo, Techno shows genuine despair and grief over Ranboo’s death, later referring to him has his disciple -Tubbo and Technoblade apologised to one another and settled their differences, allying for a similar goal -Eret joined the duo in their hunt for Sam, who had Michel -Eret reveals he had Micheal before Sam, and he was protecting him from George and Sapnap/Kinoko Kingdom -Tubbo speed runs the 5 stages of grief all throughout the stream -Eret apologizes for his betrayal and reveals (to Tubbo (kinda techno but tech didn’t care)) taht he only betrayed them in hopes it would bring peace. He feels guilt for his misdeeds and hopes to make it up to his old friends one day -the trío (Revenge Trio or (The) RevengersTWT) find Sam, who at first refuses to give up -they attack and disarm Sam, who then gives in a reveals he has Micheal in his hosue -Technoblade and Eret let Tubbo decide what they do to Sam, he decides they let him rot in Pandoras Vault (Sam is suspicious and unhinged all throughout the stream, he has obviously lost his mind and is planning something) -When they get to the vault, they retrieve Technos and Ranboo’s belongings. Along with a book signed “Do Not Read” -They lock Sam in the vault and leave him there, having to break out of the prison because the keycards Renew after midnight. -Tubbo is invited to stay at the commune in Ranboo’s old house, as to keep Micheal and his belongings safe -When they deliver Micheal to the commune, they meet GhostBoo, who refuses his stuff back (they give him his memory book though, which the trio did not read)

Techno reminds me of a DBZA quote "Do you live in you're own little world!" "Yes! but unfortunately I have to share it with all of you!"

dang watching this after the recent news really hits hard- thank you Techoblade, You’ll never die in our hearts.

If you thought that Foolish's new totem powers were cool then remember that Technoblade never dies

I rewatched this after his last stream and I've been thinking. Thet reason Tubbo was so quick to forgive him but still holds a grudge to Eret is, in my opinion, because he also put Techno's life in danger because of peer preasure. Wilbur gave Tubbo the option of saying the word that would make the explosion go off, and he said it, knowing full well that his allies would die, because of peer pressure. And continued to put Techno's life in danger after that, and Techno still never blames him. I think Techno's and Tubbo's relationship/dynamic is severely underrated.

Technoblade is the embodiment of chaotic neutral

I feel like it is overlooked that people treated Technoblade like a traitor even before the red festival and wilbur recking stuff.

If you listen to the monologue Quackity gives to Techno before their duel, he pretty much calls out everything that Techno hates/fears about government (and the execution without trial didn't exactly help matters).

Honestly I appreciate these videos so much, you have no idea how interesting these are. It’s like watching a documentary. Great job as always :)

It's so bittersweet to see that message at the beginning now. . . Technoblade never dies.

Coming back to this now breaks my heart.

Well.... lets say he finally got what he wished for. No government. No mortal binds. He has gone to the kingdom of god to take on everything. (Spelling correction is the edit)

I think the red festival is so underlooked. Schlatt got techno good, because no matter what happened its bad: 1) do as he said killing tubbo, which is what techno choose, it just unintentionally also killed quackity and jschlatt, but that was unexpected on all ends so i will ignore that. Killing tubbo obviously bretays his alliance, but the alliance didn't tell him anything so he could only assume he was fine to do this. 2) if wilbur or tommy tried to intervene or signal him that would risk their cover being blown, which is obviously bad 3) if he attacked schlatt, then that would make people see him as the enemy of the country, which is probably the best option, but with only one life, and knowing all the people that were on the side of schlatt, its not a safe bet from technos perspective. Remember to us its pretty obvious people aren't that loyal to jschlatt, but to techno it appears he is far outnumbered, so taking a fight would be risky. 4) if he refuses to save tubbo then he will look bad, risking a fight which again he does not know if he can win, and jschlatt can always call up someone else, or do it himself, tubbo is completely unarmed here its not like he was gonna live. I know these options aren't all mutually exclusive, but whatever my points still stand. What happened was both 1 and 3 which ended up pretty bad for him, I mean yeah he lived, but now everyone hates him or doesn't trust him. Pretty much the only person unaffected by this was Dream, as he wasn't attached to either side.

rip technoblade, fly high king ❤️

4:06 no, it was 2 shots. Without armour, a maxed out rocket can only do 9 hearts of damage, not 10. 18 points of damage is still impressive tho, but if you look back at the stream it took him a second shot for him to kill all 3.

They decide to test him, and he kills half of the butcher army. perfect.

technoblade never dies 👑❤️‍🔥

Not really a fan of the smp but I have to admit, Techno is a really intriguing character to me and he’s one of the few people in there that I like along with Philza. I actually came here to learn more about his character-

20:34 the key word there is "VERY" Never forget people, never forget

to technoblade, dying is simply a choice. the old saying "nothing is certain but death and taxes" is simply not apply to this man.

Rest in peace, Technoblade...

16:08 Where'd you get that Syndicate art? It's cool. Also, it's interesting just how terrifying that organization is, even if nobody acknowledges it. First, the name. "Syndicate" tends to be used as a name for a band of villains capable and willing to end the world if they get the chance, and they've already demonstrated this. Techno and Philza unleashed Hell upon L'Manburg, but it was Niki that struck the final blow, burning the heart and soul of the nation. Second, their skills. Techno is a pvp god, both solo and in a group, Philza is the architect, building entire worlds and knowing most of the mechanics of the world, which also means he's the one most capable of working through them and being the best survivor of them all. I don't know much about Ranboo, but I'm pretty sure he's the grinder of the SMP, spending at least as much time gathering resources as Techno. I don't know much about Niki either, but she seems to be a jack of all trades, having received training from both Techno and Philza, building an underground city, tearing it down, building a library, tearing _that_ down, and rebuilding the city, all on her own. Presumably, having managed to wound Techno during training, she's pretty good at pvp, too. Finally, each of them have been known to be individually terrifying. "Do you feel tired, Quackity?" comes to mind, as well as his ability to slow-turn, which is creepy as hell. Philza is arguably the least terrifying, but he seems to have a somewhat chaotic nature and will _end_ any threat to his friends. Even Dream abandoned his chase of Tommy when they got to Phil. All the evidence I have for Niki and Ranboo is Fundy's aquarium stream, but that evidence speaks for itself. "I wouldn't do that if I were you" and Ranboo being Slenderman specifically. You can tell she's ready to eviscerate a fox and Ranboo *crashes Fundy's game* when he shows up. In conclusion, the only way for the Syndicate to not achieve utter, complete victory is to be divided and have the entire server unite against them, like during the prison break.

Just a suggestion but I was wondering you could do niki next? Her lore is very interesting and it's sad how underrated she is

Finally somebody explained it all in pure english! That's all I was looking for. Not anime dramas that, while well drawn, weren't much a road map. ^^; Thank you putting this together.

i'm in love with the editing on these videos

KZfaq decided to suggest this video to me and i've been sobbing for 30 minutes.

some sad news for all of you great people, technoblade has passed away. 😢 check his new video that his dad uploaded. :(

I’m so excited I haven’t watch it yet but I already know it’s going to be good 👍 ❤️❤️❤️

During that opening i was seriously concerned that this would be a 23 minute animation (yea ik im dumb). glad to see i was wrong. That would be quite literally sanity breaking to make

Edit(because I think I failed to convey this with the original sleep deprived middle of the night comment…) this video is brilliant and I applaud your work, the composition is stunning and I think the stylistic choices are well made, you have some amazing takes on this topic and though I disagree on a point or two it is still a video well worth watching original: 4:07 lies. Absolute lies. It took at least two shots to kill three unarmored men. He even hit Tubbo beforehand and he still had to shoot twice. The only reason he killed anyone in the crowd that day was because everyone was still in shock about him accidentally AOE killing Shlatt and Quackity, and the only people who died in his rapid fire barrage of the cluster of people in the crowd were those not wearing any actual armor and too slow to respond to the sudden assault

for a second i thought it was 23 minutes of the lore, but animated. which would've taken much more time to do

Just came to this video after the bad news. Even though I didn't really watch him exclusively it's sad to see him go especially to something like cancer. R.I.P Techno the biggest sweat I knew about.

I love how the shortest arc was his retirement

Rest in power Technoblade/Alex

This was such a joy to watch, even though I already knew the lore it was so fun. Amazing and hilarious work!

Man put the crown on the pigs head like they could see the future ;-;

I like to think techno was so chill about the prison trick because it was almost like a vacation for him, a time to finally be guaranteed his peace. After all, it's not like there would be a need for the blade in a less than 10x10 room with only him and dream in it.

I think Ranboo is gonna play Micheal as a character one of these days, and Tubbo is gonna nuke the place to bits as a finale

At 9:00 The Able sisters from the dark with the "an unlikely ally" is so unbelievably perfect

Rest easy Technoblade

I miss him so much ❤its been a long 2 years man

Rest In Peace, king.

RIP Technoblade

22:10 F for the goodest boy.

Can we talk about the mix of Pigstep and Dream’s speedrun music? Best collab

Technoblade is my chosen “protagonist.” And from what I see is plenty of people see him as a purely villanos and traitorous character from the outside. He isn’t a wholey “good guy” in cannon, but when going with alignment he is verry Lawful and “evil” (has a strict “moral” code, and is out only for “him” and a select few) Personally I find the Whole SMP to be almost entirely Villans, whoever’s POV determines the “protagonist” and “antagonists”. Either way verry we’ll put together lore summery. (:

God I miss him so much

started choking on my drink at 14:35 when the homestuck music kicked in

Techno died in real life June 30 2022 .A sad day for Anarchy

… May he rest in peace

i totaly did not tear up a little finding this video on yt in july

15:52 you forgot the minor detail of God joining the server to break the portal before giving it back (place wrong to preventit from working)

15:48 i think you forgot the fact that GOD showed up lol

Rip techno

rest king. i shall await the day i see you again.

;-; you putting the crown on the pig of the minecraft screen savior hits like sad foreshadowing after....

Technoblade never died. You are correct

My brother showed me a cover video of Techno's War Ballad. It was the best song I've ever heard, hands down. I had to figure out what it meant, as one could tell there was a story there. I watched this video just now and I can't help but feel like I just missed something amazing and something powerful. Technoblade, rest in Peace. Know that even in death you will gain more followers and fans. Woe to thee ye people of order, for Technoblade never dies. RIP Technoblade...

"get well soon"... that ached man

The one thing we know... _Technoblade never dies._

It's funny to think people believed schlatt's propaganda about techno being a traitor when he's probably the one person on the server that wouldn't betray his allies. Willingly that is at least, considering the festival fireworks show lol

Love the background song, took me a second to figure it out since the lyrics were removed

i miss technoblade so much

Once there's enough streams to add onto the lore, will you make a part 2? There's been a stream since revealing that he probably has one life, and also character development, also some grinding/foreshadowing streams, but that's probably not enough to warrant a part 2 just yet.

“For techno, get well soon” Well, about that…

I feel like dream and techno look out for eachother because their goals are like, almost the same, but just opposed enough to keep eachother in check. Techno wants to get rid of governments so no one would have power over another, meanwhile dream wants to get rid of them to make sure he has the most control over everybody, stuff like that.

Omg this is so well done I'm incredibly impressed!

oh my god i didnt realize until now that black probably fits like,, 90% of the events of the dsmp. or any song from homestuck, including megalovania.

4:09 2 shots, actually

Hearing Dresden Dolls in a dreamsmp video was a fucking flashbang

Man he did so well... I really wish we could've watched his story to the end.

Thank you so much dear. I found a fansong about technoblade, but I don't follow his content nor the dream SMP, but the song was really really dope, even without context. But it made me curious, and you helped me understand the meaning behin it!

Finally I understand some dsmp lore!!! TwT thank you so much! You have a new sub from me ;3

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD SKULL FOR THE SKULL THRONE CORN FOR THE CARL HORSE

its been years since this was posted but you used the taxpayers love you like an alcoholic in it and i adore you literally no one ik knows that song

14:36 Huzzah a man of quality..

I love that when vvbutnot starts talking about shlat stal starts playing

ITS GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK VV !!

Technoblade never dies 💗🫡

you forgot he's announced that he is canonically three years old-

So listening to Syndicate stufff…. and I realize… the background music is from Homestuck

7:21 OMG that image is incredible! where can i see the original?

19:45 - maybe he could kill him if he would use the right pickaxe

Oh. My. Dream XD. That was INCREDIBLE! The COMMITMENT! (I have none whatsoever and the longest animatic I've ever made was a pokemon one to the chorus of everybody loves me. I feel ashamed of myself)

Idk why I would need this video cus I know it all but cool!

Here's another idea for an SMP superhero version of technoblade this specific smp universe has three branches first branch technoblade is magic wielding and he has the same powers that shero emra, then we have the second hero techno blade the superpower techno blade, and then the third technoblade be gadget batman-esque dark brooding ninja tecnoblade. These three universes might have to blead over towards the end of each of those versions of techno blade when you start to run out of ideas and it could be like some sort of multi-dimensional crisis thing on multiearths.

We can't have more lore now...

6:00 this reminds me of that certain bit in hamilton where it goes ‘after the war I went back to new york’

Your videos are always so interesting I love just sitting here and watching your videos

duuude. dresdon dolls for the intro was perfect lol. well played. (no one will get this but you and i)

The world isn’t the same without him

yeah, technoblade never dies....

Love the "Love you like an Alcoholic" and such fellow jams!!!

YO VV, awesome video as per usual :-) Really love ur attention to detail and how u nail each fact... Heres a cool video idea for u that no1 else has done yet (I have no idea y not tho)... A video about "How the animation community impacted the Dream SMP" :-)... Coz yall gotta admit, wen Sad-ist made that 1st Dream SMP animatic, Warriors, it lit a fire under Wilbur, Tommy, Tubbo and all other members, making all of em do more epic stuff and making Wilbur write more awesome stories that would look good in video form :-).... Just an idea

THE INTRO WITH MY ALCHOHOLIC FRIENDS PLAYING IS 😙👌

what if secretly thenoblade really CANT DIE but he acts as if he can? Imagine that someone tries to kill techno finally after whatever much time only to find out that technoblsde really can't die.

Rest in peace techno
