Drakengard The Movie UNDUB (Japanese Audio)

Ending A in japanese is so fantastic! I tought the original dub of Angelus as a Male would be horrible, but its great. The way he says "Baka" really made me smile and cry at once. Thank you so much for uploading this!

Japanese version of DOD have an english subtitles?

Nice to see the original with subtitles - it's a shame that the American release edited out all the lore though. Heck, you get worse in GOT! What's missing in the subtitles are the parts where it said about Leonard being sexually attracted to Seere (and his kid brothers), Arioch being a child murderer and cannibal and of course, the vital line that Furiae is forced to say by Manah, which is "Brother, I want you inside me". (All physically said.)

Thank you for putting that lore into the notes :-)

So right off the bat I noticed that in english Angelus sounds like a women but in Japanese it’s a man!? I mean surely Square Enix was consulted over english voice actors so why did they make such a silly change?

Eh, is there a full list of the stuff that was censoured by english translation? I would really want to play the game as it was intended but i dont speak japanese at all so it will be useless to just play with original voiceover and localized subtitles.

Its a shame that they cut out so much good dark stuff that only enhanced the atmosphere. And I dont really understand why: the game already got mature rating and a bunch of sexual and taboo lines unlikely would change anything. Censourship never makes anything good.

I didn't have the luxury to finish this game, cz my PS2 was broken by the time i played this game, so this helps me a lot👌🏻
I'm playing NieR Automata now

What the fuck, Yoshinori Ono worked on this?

I like how it isnt clear if the dragon is male or female judging from its voice alone

Its these little things that help the story to have a wondrous side

i like seeing the old emulator bugs in the movie, it adds a charm to it. watching this with a friend after playing through some of the game, great stuff, i can't stand the Dragon's english voice so i'm glad this exists

Shit that’s free Pussy, sister not, Caim is such a fool!!!

thank you for this video. i cannot play the games myself so i am happy for this

Fantastic work!

Dude your explanations helps so much especially that one in ending C i had no idea what was going
Thank you <3

Does this include censored scenes?

Good Movie I watched till the end and now I understand why the war is happening :)

Thanks for your hard work! 10 min speed run part with 1 health was clutch gg

Well, this was... unexpected. Glad I stopped playing at Chapter 2.

Anyone know what the voice says in the initial menu, before push start button?

HOly Depressing game ... like woah Yoko Taro .... and Dude ty for playing this game i came to see the lore with Jp dub ... ty for playing and editing and showing us this :)

Thank you so much for this amazing work you've done. I hope your doing great in life.

Thanks for this, showed this game properly. Can’t imagine how long this took

Thanks for preserving the aspect ratio! Looking for an unwarped upload of this, I had almost given up hope on humanity to be honest.

It's amazing to see this game in Japanese voices for the first time!

Did the English Translation Team include a few references to Buffy in the English release, or are the name changes just conincidences/mistranslations/avoiding offending relegion?
They changed 天使 (tenshi) = Angels to The Watchers and the name of the Red Dragon Angel to Angelus. Both of these terms are highly associated with Buffy, which at the time of release of this game was arguably at its peak in populartiy.

I love it when a story's core is the deconstruction of concepts and people. I loved especially the deconstruction of Seere in his ending. It's the ultimate form of storytelling for me. To see the structured reality slowly crumble and see what comes of it...

There is this anime called "Angel Beats" that keeps failing at winning me over despite its MANY qualities, and I couldn't understand why... Until this game. The deconstruction in that anime not only felt rushed, it wasn't enough for me. Many of the characters weren't handled properly with that process.

Well, that, and my somewhat lack of empathy for Yurippe's cause, since I saw other grief blinded characters more prone to listen to reason. I find the placing of the world's problems on God alone completely idiotic and illogical. While it is true the Force could do more to help, we can not forget our own responsibility in corrupting this world. It must be a team work to fix it, especially when you remember there are other forces at work.

Just needed to let this out of my chest.

That said, I think I have a timeline that explains how "Drakengard" and "Nier aren't set on different Earths, but on the same one, simply in different continents and time periods.

It all starts with the Cathedral city being transferred from Earth's future into medieval Europe during the alien invasion we learn of in "Automata", forever changing the final outcome of humans, dragons and all the other species that inhabited our world.

Us humans were meant to hunt down and destroy all magic on Earth, thus becoming the dominant species and being abandoned by God and Its angels when the 👽 invaded us. But the city got transferred into Europe during that invasion, probably in an attempt to save our species from extinction by preparing us for what was to come, introducing our science MUCH earlier and having humans in what would become the Imperial part of Europe/Midgard evolve at a rather fast but corrupting speed, leading God to decide that Mankind's time had come. If genocide or corruption were the only options with humans in charge, then a flower would rebuild life through self fertilization, using the decay for the proccess and replacing it with something that offered a better smell than humanity's.

Unfortunately for the divine beings, Caim, Angelus, the dragons and everyone else would keep Furiae from achieving this goal, thus forcing the babies to come down, using Furiae's clones to form their mother/pathway. But even then, they would not be successful, because Seere would freeze everyone in Midgard so the insanity could not spread through out the globe. But before he could freeze the Mother, the monstrosity, realizing what was about to happen, would cut herself off from the womb and escape into the distant future, in a place far away from the frozen Midgard/Europe, when humanity's corruption reached its peak. This place was the Cathedral city, when it was still known as Tokyo. Angelus and Caim gave chase before they too could be frozen, and although they did keep the beast from rampaging, in the end, their battle would seal humanity's fate.

So, conclusion:

-Europe is a weird arc floating in the still waters of time, locked on an apocalyptic picture with an innocent child sleeping at the heart of everything, keeping humanity from reaching the world we know today, but probably keeping magic from going extinct, as I suspect it was the Europeans who began promoting the genocide of all magical creatures once the age of Discoveries began;

-Asia still managed to develop, probably 50/50 the same (not sure if any country would be interested in initiating the Discoveries though), until the arrival of Caim, Angelus and the Mother Watcher, beginning the disease that would wipe out the remaining areas of the globe before the alien invasion;

-The only humans and magic left are the Europeans and probably part of the Africans, all preserved like insects on crimson and black amber. If the androids or the machines will ever wake them up or try to prevent this timeline of events from happening however, is unknown. Earth is already on a delicate state. It could be unwise to do something radical now, though I suspect they will simply make sure the cycle starts anew in their attempts.

wanted to give this game a fair chance but pcsx2 just keeps skipping halfway through the cutscenes (i've tried many recommendations and everything i could think of) so figure might as well watch someone. thank you for the upload.

I was too lazy to give this game a replay and your video helped me a lot, I hope someday Taro can adapt Drakengard 1.3 script into a game, Branch A is this game's Branch C but perfectly performed

Do you plan on doing drakengard 2 as well

Hoo boy, Megumi Hayashibara made Arioch even more horrifying than I thought with her performance. Never expected that from her of all people. Well, I shouldn't be surprised since she voiced Rei Ayanami in Neon Genesis Evangelion.

nice work.

I've been thinking a bit about the importance of music for the Watchers to use their power and how important music is for Inuart, to the point that's his Pact's price.

I wished there were videos dedicated to analysing this game's characters, such as the similarities between Inuart and Seere as artist/scholar and what makes Manah and Caim reflections of one another.

Because it would help me spread this theory. I'm starting to think Inuart may indeed have Intoner blood in him (don't know if it is Brother One, Five or Zero that is his ancestor). It could explain, if you take anything about the disasterous happy go spin-off seriously, why only he and Furiae could use the Seed to birth the New breed. Dragon DNA mixed with Intoner and Goddess material... Remember that in "Drakengard 1.3", it is implied Dragons might actually be the Watchers from "Drakengard 1". I think this is the New breed they were unknowingly strifing for.

The Watchers from "DoD 1" are VERY different from the ones from "3". They feel like black holes in baby form rather than destructive beasts of immense power. I think that's because they don't simply have Intoner power. They have dragon and Goddess power to back them up. That said, I don't think Inuart and Furiae died in the fortress. I think he her convinced her to bang, bringing the Watchers from "Drakengard 1.3" over.

What a horrendous gameplay 😂.. such a great story tho

How did you get the game in Japanese with english subtitles?

Drakengard chapter 1: Oh no, the reign has been invaded, we have no more a home to back, but we have to protect the goddes.

Mid game: The empire have giants and nuke bombs but we have a dragon!!

End:💀...

Furiae's song of exhaustion described her unfiltered feelings.

Caim's tells his story and the true multitude of emotions behind his character.

The two siblings are very clear contrasts of each other and are very intriguing.

P.S: A comment said the horns sound like Dragons laughing. Considering the Dragons are actually the devolved versions of the Watchers, I would not be surprised if that was a literal assumption.

If I made the anime movie/series based on the game, I think in terms of timeline, I would make it similar to "Evangelion", meaning there would be two versions of it.

First, we would see route C, but with the final monologue following Caim's race towards battle being similar to "1.3", so we would get the revelation dragons are the Watchers and the Seeds/Eggs, objects that exist through out time all at once, and this route is an entire time loop of sorts.

But then, after the credits, Accord's voice would be heard explaining the concept of timelines and Singularities, taking us to a route that is a mix of routes B, D and E, in order to make this "true" ending as Lovecraftian as possible.

Wait, Angelus is Male in Japan??

Ok, i'm sticking with the English version.

My favorite ending in "Nier" is C and stay there. And I relate to Caim and Angelus the most.

What does that say about me ?

This video must have been a tremendous editing effort! I appreciate the work you put in!

What if we've been looking at the timeline all wrong ?

For example, what if there are actually two Cathedral Cities (although the city is said to be on the Iberian Peninsula, in the original game, it's located outside the map, beyond clouds) because the timeline is actually this:

-Drakengard 3 (routes C and E);

-Tokyo, 2003;

-Drakengard 1;

-Nier;

-Nier Automata (route C).

What if Brother One and his cult were the ones who came up with project Gestalt ?

What if he's the reason the Gestalts became violent before the Shadowlord was thought of ?

What if the Seeds are actually clones of Emil and his sister that are harvested by the androids to be turned into angels/Watchers, with those who disobey being twisted into dragonhood ?

What if the Empire's crusade is the reason humanity is so spread thin in "Nier", and without any knowledge about technology, and with little to no use of magic ?

What if that's why Brother One was exiled from the church ? Because his red eyes were too similar to that of androids and Salt creatures, meaning he could turn humans into bloodthirsty creatures too, the same way androids and the Legion were ?

Angelus: nani?
