I just realised something XC1, the progenitor - Monado is used for Creation (In story, recreation) XC2, the sequel - Aegis/Holy Grail is used for Manipulation (In story, saving the dying world, prolonging its existence) XC3, the finalle - Lucky 7 is used for Destruction (In story, ending the endless now and letting both worlds be eradicated so the worlds can be reborn) Like holy shit

But the Aegis Swords and Monado are the same. The only difference is that one world was made entirely of ether, whilst the other one wasn't. The difference in Foresight is that in XC1 the Monado calculates the position of every bit of ether in the universe and displays the results in the form of a vision, whilst in XC2 it's Mythra doing the calculations so to speak, not the sword; Alvis wasn't awakened as a Blade, hence he could create his own body using the Conduit. The Monado is a by product of that. When Mythra sees 500 years into the future, it's when she's tapped into her power as a processor, rather than an awakened Blade, thus placing her power level on the same tier as Alvis. Again, the only differences between the two are that Alvis is effectively in charge of his own custom minecraft server whilst Pneuma is a resident within a preset one. Thinking about it this way, all the authentic Monados we see in XC1 are Alvis', and the "Gods" are like his Drivers. They can use the powers of the weapons on their own, but as seen with Shulk's Monado (the III) it's similar to Mythra's in the sense that its full power could only be unlocked through the combined might of "Driver and Blade". As for Lucky Seven, in its base form it's a hunk of Origin metal. Substances can cut through stuff if it's made of the same thing because the strength is the same. The crazy powers come from the same source as Moebius' powers; the will of the people. Origin is the source of the current collective unconscious, and it's collective will to survive was brought to fruition through the metal, creating Z. Lucky Seven is independant, and thus the only will influencing it is Noah, so all it's powers come from him. It's only as strong as him. The Sword of Origin was created effectively by Melia, and Ouroboros from Nia. The two came together to create a pair of powers that act similar to the Driver and Blade principle, potentially alluding to the fact that Lucky Seven/The Sword of Origin/the End is a Monado or Replica of some kind. It even uses Monado art symbols and looks like Monado II. Replica Monados are powerful, as we've seen. They can do everything a regular one can; they're both artificial machines used to measure and manipulate ether. The only difference is that the authentic ones were created by a Processor created from the Conduit, like the Artifices, whilst the Replicas are made by beings of significantly less precision and intellect, despite being Machina etc. There's no reason a Replica couldn't be as strong. If you need proof, Shulk's REX+ created a version of the Hilbert Effect, which was already displayed in base game in the form of Monado Enchant and Apocrypha. Back to Lucky Seven/The Sword of ... It's powerful enough to rend the two worlds from one another and restart time. There's no reason a Monado couldn't do that. Now if we're talking power level, Noah's Sword is inherently the strongest because it has no "Blade" tied to the Conduit. If I were ot hazard a guess as to what Origin metal actually is? Broken fragments of the world tree and artifices that absorbed or still contained power from the Conduit. Hence, its power comes directly from the collective unconscious (if we're assuming the Conduit and Zohar are identical in function and the Wave Existence is a thing).

This was a comment as big and detailed like I get on my Kingdom Hearts videos LOL, love it all the same though. And you're right the Aegis weapons and Monado are the same in nature but due to the circumstances of their experiences is why I said they began to branch out from each other. It's like 2 kittens from the same litter and one raised in the wild and one in a household, thats how I think of it. They both are capable of the same but are they experienced in as such or have they gained the same abilities, probably mot entirely but they do come from the same roots like you've said with Alvis being in full control of his powers due to his creating of it where as Pneuma and the Aegis' more so are reliant on a preset loadout. And I fully agree that the Monado R.E.X. is capable of just as much strength as say the Aegis swords without their core crystal like in the wave 4 trailer. At the end of the day, if the weapon can use, control, and manipulate ether so strongly and precisely, theres essentially no limits to that weapon, theoretically

I think Ontos's Monado/Monado III and Pneuma's sword have essentially the same power. Alvis states that the Monado allows its wielder to manipulate the Ether in the air to make their desire reality, and though its never pushed to the same limit as the Monado, the third Aegis sword, as Pneuma puts it, lets them rewrite the physical laws of their surroundings, Jin also says in the cutscene after his final fight, "The power to manifest what you imagine" suggesting that it is essentially the same power as the Monado. Also, I don't think we ever see the third Aegis sword at its limit, as even after the final Jin fight or the final Malos fight, Rex and Pneuma aren't even winded, it's likely the only thing holding them back is their own imagination
@RTMP_
@RTMP_ Жыл бұрын
It makes sense that they wouldn’t be winded after fighting Aion with that kind of power. As powerful as Malos was, he didn’t have full access to his power(hence why he needed Aion in the first place). The only reason why Aion wasn’t completely and utterly annihilated by Rex and Pneuma is because they had no reason to be aware of how stupidly overpowered they truly were. Sure, they were aware of some of their capabilities(seeing as they could keep up with the physics-defying object known as Jin), but they didn’t exactly need to use it to its fullest extent. Shulk, on the other hand, had no reason or desire to hold back, and he pounded a god into the dirt. Why wouldn’t the other fully realized Trinity sword be able to do the same, given the opportunity?

Couple notable things to consider; 1 being Lucky 7’s speed is astronomical since in can slash at tachyon speed (only particle faster than light). With Pnuema I’m confident she’s far more powerful than shown considering since they suggest her ether manipulation has a larger scale. Personally I’d pick either Shulk or Malos’ monado tho.

The Monado and Lucky Seven are really cool parallels to one another. It’s not a perfect analogy, but you could technically call the worlds of XBC1 and 3 simulations being ran by higher powers. The Monado is a sword made of the “code”, so to speak, of the world. Ontos and Klaus were two of three beings to be from outside the “simulation”, meaning that their swords could truly be used to rewrite the world. Meanwhile, the Sword of Origin was made from, well, Origin. It’s basically the only “real” metal inside the simulation and, as such, can cut through it. And they look completely opposite, as one is a technological laser sword and the other is a seemingly bland sword. (Also, fun fact that I didn’t catch until recently: Shulk backwards is Kluhs, remarkably similar to Klaus. They were planting the plot seeds from the very start.) Also yooooo the Unpainted in the outro got me hyped
@MetaSF_
@MetaSF_ Жыл бұрын
I can see where you get the analogy, also considering how the Architect kinda sat back and let things happen until Malos, Rex, and the party came to him. And like I said, the Aegis kinda outside of power didnt feel as idk fantastical, maybe cause they're a Blade of many Blades where in the case of The Monado and the Sword of Origin theres a CLEAR disparity. Also it was actually DIVIDE in the intro but you dont know how happy it made me that you recognized it was from NEO: TWEWY lol, I love Unpainted too tho and almost actually did use it for that part 👀 those 2 songs always get me SO HYPE

11:26 You never see world creation or destruction from Rex' Monado because for 1, he didn't need to, and 2 the world of Alrest isn't made entirely out of ether like Xenoblade 1's world so they'd have to use the conduit/zohar (which they don't have anymore) to create another big bang wiping out everyone for this to happen. Alvis/Ontos can create/destroy, and manipulate any part of that world at will because it's all ether and nothing more. The new world being made was Shulk's decision, but it wasn't his monado's power, it was Alvis' administrative powers over the world.

While the Monado is strong the whole thing about depending on will is definitely a huge risk you take in using it. If someone can break you, you're pretty much powerless but I don't know if it matters if you know how strong the Monado is off the bat so you can still be at full power. The Aegis seems like the best for everyday life. You get a caring and loving companion that will most of the time be there for you and if your resonance is strong enough they will be able to understand you the best out of anyone in the world (at least I think so. Correct me if I'm wrong on Driver and Blade being able to share emotions) but in a fight they can be a liability because your focus will be split between opponents and your Blade. Overall the Sword of the End seems like the best weapon. It's primary limit is the user's skills with a sword and it can cut anything. Plus if it comes with the sheathe that Noah has, free defensive gauntlet that you look cool as heck using and no worries about storage since you summon it with an Iris. So, as much as recency bias may be affecting my judgement, I'll be choosing the Sword of the End. Great video btw.
@MetaSF_
@MetaSF_ Жыл бұрын
Hey, whether recency bias or not you can always end up changing your mind the more you sit on it. They're all great to be fair so honestly you not going wrong. But I definitely have seen many comments saying they either may not want to deal with being forced to have a partner with the Aegis, or needing to have incredible will for the Monado, but others don't mind as much and it makes sense. I just didn't expect it. Not to mention, a sword within a sword? That's like an auto 2-phase boss fight lol. And as far as the Driver and Blade's emotions, you can say they share emotions even though it's more like their individual emotions can influence each other. That's why Malos got so twisted because Amalthus' more sinister nature started to make him even more intent on destruction than he already was.

Going hard on Pneuma's Aegis for me. Not only is companionship something I kinda need and can easily get emotionally invested in which basically fuels the resonance needed to access the power anyways, but I really like the idea of Pneuma being able to utilize all the Ether elements, light speed movement, foresight, and even damn near flight. The way Rex was moving, I have to assume she even cancels out rapid accel and decelleration forces on the body. If the Ether can also cancel self-generated sonic booms, I think I know how I'm travelling from now on lol Also as a potential bonus, if Pneuma's core crystal has ANYTHING to do with Ouroboros powers, that's a hard YES PLEASE.

I feel like the suit from the connection with Pneuma that Rex got helped his body handle the strain of the extreme power he was utilizing, similar to how a transformation would be to handle the necessary increase in power, but either way I still can't blame people's biggest reason for choosing Pneuma being the social aspect, it's a huge component that can go a long way so can't blame y'all 😤

As much as I love the Monado the new kid on the block, Lucky Seven has to be one of the coolest even if it doesn’t have as many ether based ways to attack. It’s a simple weapon that can cut through anything but also just has one of the sickest designs with its Veiled Sword which is its shackled form and then truely unleashed with Noah’s talent arts. What’s awesome about Lucky Seven gameplay wise is that it’s arts abilities change depending on which role Noah is in, so more attack based ones for offense, agrro and tanking skills for defenders and lastly healing and support for support classes.

They both have similar time principles and Orge Rancorem while not being a literal godsword does have the 500 year long grudge of the Orge clan who has taken down gods, super ai computers, specters and what have you with it's weilder Aldo. It does have the same chosen one thing with the Master Sword and the power cannot be controlled and has to be kept in a sheath and Aldo has to use a normal sword for the most part. I didn't think about this until you said it but like the Aegis it has a mind of it's own and would rather destroy humans but agrees to help Aldo because he threatened to throw him in the ocean lol but does have his rebellious moments. In addition to being able to destroy time distortions and being able to feed off miasma corrupting beings has access to Another Force which can essentially freeze time (and is a completely broken mechanic lol) Not to mention Aldo being a whole other can of worms with Godly powers of his own.

New dlc basically says lucky seven has the same power of an aegis (logos which is synonymous with what he represents: destruction) Combine that with the veiled sword gauntlet which is implied to have pneuma’s core and I’d say Noah is the strongest out of the protagonist trio. He is basically using the power of 2 aegis’ at once. All of a sudden tachyon slash makes a fuckton of sense because N was able to move at the speed of light when channeling the power of the sword of origin (like how Alvis was able to grant multiple Monados to Shulk, meyneth, and zanza). if both logos and pneuma were able to rewrite reality and pneuma was able to move at the speed of light. Imagine combining the powers of both to go beyond. The reason why I say this is because tachyons are a theoretical particle that are faster than light, meaning time doesn’t just stand still, it moves backwards. And one interpretation is that when a tachyon moves towards something, it’s bouncing off at the same time before it even makes contact, which coincides with tachyon slash being multiple slash even though Noah performs only a single stroke with lucky seven. Because the attack has already been completed before it has even begun, like a tachyon.

Very great and interesting look at it and plenty of truth to it, honestly due to the nature of the swords even with what Lucky Seven is apparently able to do, it always seemed that the true power of the combination of Logos and Pneumas power was Ouroboros. Cause alone both Matthew and N's power werent enough for Alpha which says a lot imo. But Noah himself having both after combining with N, definitely made him more destructive to Moebius' nature.

On the topic of Aegises being affected by the Apocrypha Generator, I think they’d just be weakened like the Monado. The Apocrypha Generator has a similar power to that seen in Spirit Crucible Elpys, wherein Blades and their weapons are weakened. Aegises, being the Master Blades and thus vastly more powerful, would likely be able to at least survive the generator’s effects where most Blades would likely return to their core crystals as forewarned by Gramps at the start of Rex & co’s journey into Elpys. All Blades have a strong connection to ether, so even the Aegises would be weakened, but the worst it got for Ontos’ Monado was it being temporarily deactivated before Shulk reactivated it with sheer willpower. As for which sword I’d pick I’d have to say the Sword of Origin. Travel-wise, since Blades in XC3 are temporarily dismissed from existence when not in use, it would be very easy to carry around. In addition, while it is usually a two-handed weapon, it’s still light enough to hold with just one hand when not in a fight. The few times we see Noah holding it in one hand he has no trouble doing so, so I’d guess he holds it with both hands primarily for better control in battle.

It’s never shown how much gems like strength gems actually influence the party but it is shown with the speed up gems that they do make a great difference in their power so u can assume that strength up and ether make them super human and on top of that they have the buffs of the monado and future sight from shulk. Xc2 has blades and everything. Xc3 party has military training, gems, power frames, core crystals, lucky 7, and ouroboros, but they don’t have any future sight or reality bending like shulk and Rex have. I think it would make for an interesting video :)

But if we're talking Unshackled forms (Monado, Mythra/Malos, and Lucky Seven), then I would lean towards the Aegis' due to the fact that I feel like their Monado skills coupled with their driver links (especially if Mythra is paired with a driver like Rex who could bring out the most of her abilities) just edges out XC1's Monado for me.

Even by the time Noah got it and used with with Riku's Lucky 7 and it didn't have Pneuma's core anymore, it still held a lot of the residual power, not to mention Lucky 7 being particularly special with energy manipulation thanks to the Origin Metal really makes a strong difference.

Great vid but talking about the monado from Xenoblade 1 will always be a very complicated topic. Outside of it's own universe where not everything is made out of ether it doesn't have the same influence. Also talking about visions from the future, that was only possible because Zanza showed them to Shulk at the beginning. Later he technically bonded with Alvis enough to have his own visions but still if it was someone else who wants to use the monado we would all end up like Dunban. Basically a sword that just cuts steel and has a mechon buff that will destroy your body while using it. And it definitely was not Dunbans lack of will that caused this. With all 3 monados/aegis swords grabbing from the same power source which is the conduit I would honestly just put them at the same level. Now if we want to simulate a battle there are a lot of other factors that matter in the scenario like where the fight is actually taking place and who fights.

Thats kinda where the real struggle of what to exactly include into each of the weapon's powers and abilities for this video was tbh.

BUT I just decides you know what, it'll be more fun and have more material to include it all, and I've had so many different comments giving lengthy responses and reasonings they're all even, close, or one in particular is just built different lol, I'll take it, chalk it up to Monolith's creativity too

Yeah... knowing now thanks to the DLC that the lucky seven has both the power of Pheuma and Malos's Core cristals, yeah... that would make it more powerfull than we though. Athough im not sure if they ever explained with there are two Swords of the end, but we do know that Noah's is stronger cause it has Pheuma's cristal in its hilt.

Listen...you don't know how much I was so surprised at that reveal simply cause I JUST made this video LOL, I'm definitely doin a lil followup about that and the Sword of Origin, plus I still have some questions on about how N's sheathe changed from looking like Malos' Monado to reflecting Noah's lucky 7. Or why they didn't actually use the Sword of Origin model for his sword, and with the Pneuma crystal visibly gone in Noah's sword, is the power still just embued in Noah's sword even with it gone or is there somethin I'm missing. Still need some clarity in some spots

So, I'm like way late to this, but even after seeing the different abilities as far as the arts, amounts of ether, and of course design of the swords, my ultimate answer would have to be the Aegis Monado. Specifically Pneuma's Monado is my weapon of choice. I do have a a bit of a bias however because of the capabilities the blades have in the world of Alrest. Unlike Ontos/Shulk's Monado, the Aegis Monado can't control comeplete amounts of Ether like using Speed and Armour; However, there is a special element (no pun intended) to the style in which the Aegis Monado as well as all blades battle and fight which I am a fan of. That of course is the elemental system and the different kinds of blades who use said elements. While in the Master Driver form, I could gain the ability to chain moves together regardless of the element chain initiated. Another thing is, from what we've seen in XC1 and XC3 is that most of the energy comes from ether, but is only limited from the wielder, well as far as the first monado is concerned. After playing through each game, I noticed each sword has one thing in common, they are connected to one another. (Ignore that part, I just wanted to add that fact because of my love for the series) Overall, here is my choice and ranking of the 3 sword 1. Aegis 2. Monado 3. Sword of Origin.

Off of dlc I’m very confused, as idk if the sword of the end is just a form of Pnuema given what they say at the end or not. I get that there is some people saying that it’s malos’s sword however that doesn’t really make sense in the context given how every part of origin, ouroboros and the gauntlets are. I’d more like to think that it’s just the manifestation of origin’s form of Pnuema’s sword than anything as there’s a lot stating in the final fight that Pnuema can basically just handle Alpha by themselves without everyone else, given that all of the party is more or less equal in strength including N, making Pnuema’s sword possibly the strongest. This is also given the fact that the replicas or the aegis and Monado are also capable of cutting through flame clocks like lucky seven which no other weapon in Aionios can appear to do. It might also be due to the fact that lucky seven is also the only representative force of them that it is able to harm Z and put an end to it as it’s essentially the aegis of Origin or smt

Yea I'm actually about to record a kinda followup to this video that not only regroups my feelings on the Sword of Origin/The End through Future Redeemed, how it recontextualizes Xenoblade 3's showing of it, but also still kinda expressing some things I'm not entirely clear on so it can be discussed about with others cause I FEEL LIKE I get it, but maybe not entirely. Cause I know N's isn't Malos' sword but his sheathe is shaped like Malos' Monado, so it only has a piece of Logos' power even if not all, similar to Matthew's Knuckles

XC 1: Anyone who (isn't a god) wields this weapon dies or fries an arm (foreshadowing for the 4th dlc?). Can create a world and cut through anything you want it too (only if unshackled). XC 2: Full access to blades power, only limited by your abilities to harness it. Must build close bond with blade to harmonize. XC 3: Raw strength physically and in energy output. Can be wielded by anyone, making it easy to be used recklessly, but requires technique to make full use of it's speed and edge. For a normal person, Lucky seven is the safest option. It's certainly no slouch in strength. May not be flashy, but it's lightwieght sharp as hell, and only requires practice. If you're a fast learner and a very compelling type, you might be able to undertake the aegis Don't try the monado, especially if it's the monado 1, only gods can wield it with no consequences. Never consider this sword unless you can conjure your own.

Would having the Sword of Origin also include having the powers of an Ouroboros? It could be argued that being Ouroboros is a prerequisite to wielding it, akin to chosen one status, but if it's part of the kit, then you do have expanded options. While class changing is a bit far out to be considered part of the Sword of Origin's personal toolkit, the fact that you can combine the arts of other classes with the Sword of Origin's own, i.e. fuse other weapons and their moves into the Sword of Origin's own, does give it enhanced versatility.

When it comes to the power they wield in their stories, the Monado easily comes out on top, and while it isn't the goal of your video, I do wonder which would be the strongest in each other's settings. Both the Monado and Aegises have near unlimited control over ether, but Xenoblade 1s world is near 100% ether while 2s is our reality with ether sprinkled on top. That's why the Monado can destroy and recreate a seemingly infinite universe while the Aegises can only max out at near lightspeed movement. In each other's worlds, they would probably wield equal power over reality. Then you have the Sword of Origin. It essentially grants admin rights to Origin for whoever wields it, and since the entire world of Xenoblade 3 is created and controlled by Origin, that equates to admin rights over the universe. If it's removed from a world controlled by Origin, though, then it really is just a sharp sword. Funnily enough, without the conduit, that's kind of all the Aegises and Monados are as well, so the Monado REX+, Pyra/Mythra, and Lucky Seven might actually be somewhat even in the world after 3s end. In that scenario, I'd say the Monado still wins due to the versatility of Monado Arts, but I personally like Lucky Seven more for its no nonsense simplicity and sleek design. My headcanon of Origin metal being an alloy of Mechonis metal and World Tree metal means that the REX+ would probably eat it, but you can't deny that using a laser sword as a sheath for an atomic razor isn't cool. This is the end of the comment. Thanks for reading and I hope you have a nice day :)

I'd like to apologize I really thought I replied to you days ago but I never hit send I think? LOL, but yea they each given their circumstances are beyond dominant in their respective worlds but Ontos' Monado in particular definitely feels the most dominant in all of them considering their roots. I'm a big fan of a wide variety of options which is another big reason why I'd go for the Monado, but Lucky 7 is simple and clean man and it's very nice, especially with the arm gauntlet you can get you'll have some flashiness too. And I do think that taking the events of the wave 4 teaser in mind, mythra and pyra without their cores along with the Monado R.E.X. will have different abilities still but closer to even in scale, but the Monado R.E.X. still has very strong and diverse ether control like we see in Future Connected. Also like you said a laser sword as a sheath for an atomic razor would be so so cool too, thanks for your great comment!

#Monado So, one the one thing I love is the fact you didn’t definitively say which is better. I mean you said which one you’d choose, but not which is objectively the best, and personally I don’t think there is an objectively correct answer to it. One thing I didn’t necessarily agree with was the Aegis’ foresight, I felt like that was a little lowballed. I know it’s not like the visions Shulk gets, but it’s still foresight. Also, one counter I was surprised to see absent was the fact that a mind reader could get around the visions. Granted I know mind readers aren’t a thing here and not likely part of the scenario, but still. Anyway, I do choose the Monado because of its functions and ridiculous power, but I think it has a good amount of drawbacks to it. Ditto with the Aegis. Sure, you get 2-3 awesome swords, and a hot sword gf (or bf you choose Malos), but in battle you do need to be in close proximity to your Blade, otherwise they can’t supply enough power to your attacks. This isn’t just a gameplay mechanic either, as we do see Rex use up all of Pyra’s energy while fighting Vandam (although that was less proximity and more how much energy Rex was putting forth in each attack) The problem still remains. I think, of the three, The Lucky 7 has the least amount of downsides. It’s not used a whole lot solely because Noah doesn’t want to make everything a breeze. Otherwise, it’s a fantastic weapons, but the cost of this, as explained in the video, is that it’s not too important to the overall story. Honestly, I feel like it was more of an afterthought, and even though it has a lack of downside, I personally find the Monado and the Aegis to be more useful and more endearing. I think this two are really close for me, but the Monado edges out for A. Being based on the users will. And B. Xenoblade 1 is my favorite of the three.

I would really just go with either The Sword of Origin, or one of the Aegis's (99% sure it'd probably be Pneuma, but hey, you never know) I think I'd find the Monado too risky and hard to master, that already showing me lack the will to use it and all that, so it'd only end up killing me. For an Aegis, yeah, it's an entire other person, and I am *such* a people person, along with very powerful abilities that require training and mastery with that said being that the blade creates. Then for the one I think I'd just pick over the other two, The Sword of the End/Origin. This one is interesting, but the biggest reason here is that, in the XC3 world, I feel like these swords could be more powerful than the other two, because it's able to break the false reality and time of the Moebius, in, a level on par with the other main blades, it just wasn't really used for anything like that till the final battle with Z where Noah shatters the whole theater place and reveals Z's true form. So in summary, Monado: too dangerous because I lack the will. The Aegis: With training and pure will with the Blade, it is really really good, but it just doesn't appeal to me as much as The Sword of Origin/The End: With it being able to cut through *anything*, how it already compliments my sword fighting skills, and for even just asthetic purposes, I'd pick the Sword of Origin/The End

The inhabitants of both worlds were still alive but frozen in a moment. The inhabitants of Aionios were made from the downloaded data of the originals souls and memories.
