### Season 5 (41-)

Season 5 is the shortest season of this series, as the series went on a hiatus since January 2020, shortly after Part 42 was uploaded on YouTube and BitChute as its original name and Pandora TV as 엘소드 형편 없어 피날레 에피소드 (Elsodeu hyeonpyeon eobs-eo pinalle episodeu; lit. Elsword is Horrible Final Episode).

5 months after Elsword Sucks went on hiatus, its 44th episode *Elsword Claimed Itself As A Manga-Based MMO* was uploaded on YouTube on June 15th, 2020 and was uploaded on BitChute as *Elsword Sucks Part 44 8 days later* and was soon uploaded on Pandora TV as *엘소드 형편 없어: 지옥의 부엌 (Elsodeu hyeongpyeon eobs-eo: Jiog ui bueok; lit. Elsword is Horrible: Hell's Kitchen) on June 26th, 2020*.

4 months after *Elsword Claimed Itself As A Manga-Based MMO* was uploaded on YouTube, the 45th episode *Elsword is NOT YOUR Ultimate Action MMORPG, Here's Why* was uploaded on YouTube on the 17th and was uploaded on Pandora TV and BitChute as both *엘소드 와의 불륜 (Elsodeu wa ui bullyun; lit. Affair with Elsword)* and *Elsword Sucks Part 45 a day* after the video was uploaded on YouTube. Within a day of being uploaded on Pandora TV, *Elsword is NOT YOUR Ultimate Action MMORPG, Here's Why* became the most watched video on the site according to a PIXNET blog post.

A month after *Elsword is NOT YOUR Ultimate Action MMORPG, Here's Why* was uploaded on YouTube, *Elsword Claimed Itself As A Manga-Based MMO* was uploaded on Vimeo as *Elsword Claims to Be A Manga-Based MMO*.

## Trivia

* This series was created as an reaction video to another video in September 2018 only a week after the other video was uploaded, and its first episodes aired in the late days of October and November 2018 until Part 6 in December 6th, 2018.
* Instead of Part 11 being uploaded on January 10th, 2019 according to the video preview, it was uploaded 2 days after the video. The same situation happened with Part 22, which was uploaded a day after the video preview of it was uploaded.
* Part 33 was the first episode of Chaotic Carnival, which started on the same day when the episode premiered and Chaotic Carnival still continues as of 2021.
* Since *Elsword Claimed Itself As A Manga Based MMO* (*Elsword Sucks Part 44* on BitChute), newer episodes has been given a different name on YouTube.
* *Elsword Sucks Part 39/40* was the first episode of the series to be uploaded on YunokiRoom's BitChute and Vlare channel which were both opened on November 2019, but at the same time it was one of the first and last YunokiRoom videos on Vlare.
* Since Vlare was cancelled in July 2021 following a former staff leaking a controversy on its private Discord server, in which its administrators speak ill about their community, Elsword Sucks Part 43 was one of the last YunokiRoom videos on the site before it was given to one of the co-founders and programmers of the now-defunct video hosting site Vanillo, WYSIWYG/Kay/Melony, who temporary suspended its development and transferring the site's domain and assets to Toby R. who cancelled it.
* Like Kemonomimi Otome Life's gameplay video which was taken down by YouTube, there used to be a 4chan thread that used the former thumbnail of *Elsword is NOT YOUR Ultimate Action MMORPG, Here's Why* to promote the game itself but however was taken down by 4chan themselves.
