Joakim is a friend of **SephirothSword57** with an adequate taste in video games. Along **SephirothSword57**, he is one half of the Fighting Streamers. The he and **Sephirothsword57** had been friends for a long time and the two of them would share video games with one another so that they could experience more video games with their limited allowances. He sometimes plays other roles in the show whenever **Sephirothsword57** needs another person.

He is a man of few words, and he gets annoyed easily. A few times he's stormed off after **Sephirothsword57** performed a harmless prank. With one of the times leading to **Sephirothsword57** having to perform a tea ceremony as an apology. **Sephirothsword57** graciously cured Joakim's depression by dispelling the yokai troubling him after he broke up with his girlfriend and lost his job.

Dave

## About

**SephirothSword57's** twin brother. He ran the *DavePretendo* youtube channel where **SephirothSword57** used to post his videos before he created the superior SephirothSword57 channel we have today. He is also a former editor of the *Sephirothsword57 channel*, but quit when he decided he didn't want to help his brother anymore, and for a brief time was considered a traitor. Though he has since been forgiven.

He is the owner of the Gamecube, Switch, and WiiU. Allowing **SephirothSword57** to borrow his games and consoles for review. A kind act that keeps **SephirothSword57** from giving Nintendo any of his hard earned yen. The only reason Dave has both western and Nintendo games is because he and **SephirothSword57** were separated for a time as kids, and **SephirothSword57** wasn't able to protect him from the negative influences of the west and Nintendo.

## In the SephirothSword57 Show

He has yet to make a physical appearance in any of the videos physically, but he has been mentioned.

In Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow he provided the voice for Koji Igarashi.

4chan

## About

**4chan.org** is an English imageboard website founded in 2006 that stole the layout from Japanese imageboard **2channel**. Though originally focused on Japanese culture with boards about subjects such as anime, video games, and hentai, the website eventually lost focus and became flooded with rude Westerners. The board's founder Christopher "moot" Poole sold the website to 2channel's creator, Hiroyuki "Hiro" Nishimura in 2015, who seems to be an honorable Japanese businessman. It can be speculated that Hiro intended to fix 4chan, but this was likely made impossible because of the 2016 American Election, which caused a large number of Westerners with no respect for Japanese culture to the website.

**SephirothSword57** visited 4chan in 2021. While initially impressed by the website's large number of Japanese boards, he was quickly disillusioned by the rude Western culture that prevailed everywhere on the website. He was banned for 3 days for "trolling" after attempting to have an honest discussion about Naruto on the anime board. **SephirothSword57** does not approve of using 4chan and gave it a rating of 10 out of 400.
Time to Celebrate!

This non-review video was uploaded during the eight year anniversary celebration of the SephirothSword57 YouTube channel. In addition to some lore progression, **SephirothSword57** takes the time to talk directly to the viewers.

## Episode synpsis

**SephirothSword57**, Crono, Cloud, and 2B are toasting their glasses while exclaiming "Kanpai" and proceed to reminesce about their previous adventures, such as when they fought Nintendo, or one of Cloud and Crono's manzai performances. **SephirothSword57** wishes everyone could be present for the celebration, since it's been five years since they last saw Shadow. Cloud and Crono comforts **SephirothSword57** and say they're certain they'll find him soon, which brings hope to **SephirothSword57**. Cloud comments on 2B having been unusually quiet lately, which makes her nervous. **SephirothSword57** laughs and says he thinks 2B has had a bit too much too drink, which makes he annoyed, and everyone else is having a laugh. **SephirothSword57** excuses himself when he hears someone coughing in the other room.

**SephirothSword57** finds a bedridden Noctis, who reveals he's been afflicted with an incurable illness and he feels his end is fast approaching. **SephirothSword57** tries to reassure Noctis, but is interrupted by Noctis who makes a poetic farewell with his final breath. **SephirothSword57** respectfully closes Noctis' eyes.

**SephirothSword57** sits down and delivers a heartfelt and poignant monologue about the importance of being yourself. He excuses himself, saying he needs to call someone. The video switches to a grayscale as **SephirothSword57** is talking on the phone, then packs his rucksack with *Bushido Blade* and a PlayStation controller. **SephirothSword57** puts on the rucksack and is seen hurriedly moving through the town, into a building then up a stairwell where colour returns to the video, and finally he arrives to a door. He knocks on the door, and Joakim opens. **SephirothSword57** shows *Bushido Blade* and the controller to Joakim, who smiles and invites **SephirothSword57** inside.

## Trivia

The mellow, strummed guitar song used at the end is called Memories of the Green Hills, and was uploaded to the SephirothSword57 + channel soon after the initial video release.
Link

A vindictive dork

> *"Well excuuuse me, SephirothSword57!"*
>
>

**Link** is minor antagonist in the SephirothSword57 Show, originating from *the Legend of Zelda* series. Hapless and insufferable, he is loyal to Nintendo and carries his orders unquestionably.

## In the SephirothSword57 Show

*The following is written in the order of the chronological timeline rather than order of video release, and may be subject to change.*

### Final Fantasy VII Remake

**Link** overhears Cloud lamenting over not knowing what to play during the wait for *Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2,* and foolishly suggest *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time*, claiming it is even better than than *Final Fantasy VII.* Cloud and **SephirothSword57** look at eachother for a second before breaking out in roaring laughter, to Link's confusion. They begin to throw trash and *Destruct* materiae at Link, who runs off crying, saying he won't forget this.

### Zelda: Ocarina of Time

**Link** interrupts **SephirothSword57** in his closing statement of the review, and proclaim he will defeat him. **SephirothSword57** says he's defeated stronger foes, but won't pass up on an opportunity to test his new *blitz* move. His blow bounces harmlessly off Link's energy shield, and picks up the *Ocarina of Time* with the intention to trap **SephirothSword57**'s mind in a time warp. Seemingly successful at first, his plan is thwarted as **SephirothSword57** destroyed his own eardrums and is unnafected by the music, and brings out his own Sega ocarina on which he plays a melody powerful enough to obliterate Link.

### Super Smash Bros.

**Link** appears briefly in a flashback **SephirothSword57** have after musing over how frequently he's been assailed lately, as if Nintendo was still alive. **SephirothSword57**'s reflection on Links words are intterupted by someone ringing his doorbell.

### Breath of the Wild

**Link** technically does not appear in this episode, though he is the main character of the game **SephirothSword57** is challenged by Nintendo to review.

## Powers and Abilities

N81C Designated Marksman Rifle

The **N81C Designated Marksman Rifle**,officially designated **Rifle, 7.62mm, N81C, DMR**, is an accurized version of the N80A2 Battle Rifle featuring an extended barrel, a mounted combat optic, and an adjustable stock.

## Design

The design of the N81C DMR is based on the standard-issue N80A2 service rifle. However, while the weapons are largely similar, the accurizing of the rifle led to several changes to the overall design of the N81C. The most significant of these modifications are the extended barrel, adjustable buttstock, and new trigger group.

The extended barrel, in addition to increasing the effective range and accuracy of the rifle, allows for a barrel-mounted accessory bracket, typically used to attach a tactical flashlight or laser sight. It also features a flash hider.

The adjustable buttstock allows the wielder to adjust the rifle's stock to their preferences, allowing for more comfortable and accurate operation. However, due to the additional mechanisms in the redesigned stock, the N81C cannot accept standard N80 magazines, and must rely on small, 15-round magazines.

The limited ammunition capacity of the N81C is addressed by its trigger group. Instead of being fully automatic like the N80A2, the N81C features a three-round burst setting, ensuring responsible ammunition expenditure by enforcing trigger discipline.

**Minecraft** is a sandbox game originally developed by *Mojang Studios* for PC in 2011, and has since been ported to multiple platforms. The version **SephirothSword57** reviews is the PlayStation 3 port.

## Episode synopsis

**SephirothSword57** mentions how indie (independent) games have recently exploded in popularity, tracing back their success to **Minecraft,** which he had not played for himself, and decides to share his first impressions of it.

### The review

* **Sub-par graphics**
* **Vital mechanics such as swimming not explained properly**
* **No clear objective**
* **Questionable town layout**
* **Drastic difficulty spike during night-time**
* **Lazy level design relying on dynamic world generation**
* **Repetitive resource gathering**
* **Lack of landmarks makes navigation difficult**

**SephirothSword57** likens the game to a digital lego-building simulator for children, and recommends nobody over the age of eight to play it.
Shadow of the Colossus - Sephirothsword57 Review

*This article is about the episode Shadow of the Colossus in the SephirothSword57 Show. For the antagonist of the episode with the same name, click here.*

## Characters

### Debut

Shadow of the Colossus

## Episode synopsis

**SephirothSword57** introduces himself, and informs the viewers he's had a haircut. He then explains this episode will be about the critically aclaimed game **Shadow of the Colossus**, which many claim to be their favourite, and shows the game case. Curious to see what the game has to offer, he inserts the disc into his PS3.

### The review

* Japanese vocals kept in the western release
* No character development re: dead woman
* Awkward run cycle, slow and clumsy controls
* Empty, uninteresting overworld
* Unclear and cryptic instructions
* Boss mechanics stolen from Sonic Adventure 2
* Repetitive bossfights

### Post-review plot

As he tries to deliver his closing thoughts, **SephirothSword57** is interrupted by an unseen voice. **Shadow of the Colossus** emerges from the PlayStation 3, outraged at having been called a bad game. **SephirothSword57** demands to know what it wants from him, and Shadow of the Colossus explains it has brainwashed countless gamers into thinking it was great, but could not affect **SephirothSword57**, and in an effort to stop the video of truth being released it strikes at **SephirothSword57** with a deadly attack. Shadow the Hedgehog jumps in front of **SephirothSword57** in the last second, taking the lethal blow in his place. With his dying breath, Shadow explains he'll do anything for a friend, and a grief-struck **SephirothSword57** cries out in sorrow.

**Shadow of the Colossus** gloats, and tells **SephirothSword57** to meet it outside for a final confrontation. **SephirothSword57** swiftly makes his way there, only to find Shadow of the Colossus has transformed into a colossus who immediately unleashes a barrage of energy projectiles. **SephirothSword57** nimbly dodges, but is grazed by the final shot. Shadow of the Colossus mocks **SephirothSword57**, who becomes filled with the needed focus to instinctively perform the *Kage Bunshin No Jutsu*, and with help of his clones charges a *Rasengan*. Shadow of the Colossus is too awestruck at this display to act, and perish instantly.

After defeating Shadow of the Colossus, **SephirothSword57** goes to mourn the death of his friend. He suddenly remembers he's still got one *Pheonix Down* in his inventory, and navigates the items menu to use it on Shadow. He is immediately revived, owing his life once more to **SephirothSword57**.

	+ **Even after recieving two sticks, controls awkward**
* **Bad graphics**

Chrono Trigger - Sephirothsword57 Review

**Chrono Trigger** is a Japanese role-playing game originally developed and published by *Square Enix* (at the time called *SquareSoft*) in 1995 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, then ported as an enhanced version to the PlayStation in 1999. It is unknown which version **SephirothSword57** is reviewing.

This episode is notable for being the first video **SephirothSword57** uploaded to (at the time) his brother DavePretendo's channel, as well as being the very first episode of the SephirothSword57 Show.

## Episode synopsis

**SephirothSword57** introduces himself, and thanks his brother DavePretendo for letting him upload this video on his channel. He then says he will be reviewing the game **Chrono Trigger**. After first mistakenly showing the title screen of the game *Clock Tower*, he quickly switches to the title screen of Chrono Trigger. He explains Chrono Trigger is often regarded as one of the best games ever made (a statement he agrees with.) He goes on to say the game was developed by *Square* in the 90's, and wonders why they can't make games like they did back then anymore. He also mentions both *Hironobu Sakaguchi*, and composer *Nobuo Uematsu*, as well as *Akira Toriyama* working on the game.

### The review

* **Graphics not outdated**
* **Story, gameplay, characters, and story is god-tier great**
* **Crono is badass, ginger Goku**
* **Ayla is a good female character; strong and good-looking**
* **Magus is boring, with questionable design**

**SephirothSword57** finishes the video by talking about the sequel, *Chrono Cross*. He does not like it, as Akira Toriyama was not involved which made for a terrible art direction. He also mentions the gameplay and story being different from Chrono Trigger's, and urges you to not play Chrono Cross, but Chrono Trigger instead.

## Trivia

While **SephirothSword57** ends on the note of not finding Chrono Cross to his liking, he has since changed his mind on this.

In January of 2023, **SephirothSword57** decided to revisit this review as Chrono Trigger - Definitive Special Edition Review. A few points change, such as Magus and *Chrono Cross* being much for favorably looked upon.
Undertale - Sephirothsword57 Review

**Undertale** is a role-playing game originally developed and published by Toby Fox for the PC in 2015. It has since been ported to consoles like PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in 2017. The version **SephirothSword57** reviews in the original PC version.

## Episode synopsis

**SephirothSword57** asks the viewer if they've played a game so bad it made them depressed, then goes on a tirade about how a specific game disrespects his favourite genre, willingly ignores decades worth of wisdom and game design conventions and have the gall to call it a masterpiece (in reality a "mess-terpiece.") **SephirothSword57** then introduces himself, and tells the viewer he'll tell them the truth about **Undertale**.

### The review

* **High-definition graphics nonexistent**
* **Character design reminiscent of a puppet show**
* **Tedious tutorial**
* **Only one party member**
* **Convoluted dodge mechanic**

### Post-review

**SephirothSword57** then asks the viewer to close their eyes and forget about bad games for a moment, and to remember the golden era of JRPG's and the memories around playing these games. Memories Toby Fox wants to destroy. He issues a call to action to prevent Toby Fox from further sullying his beloved genre with the hashtag "#Stoptoby"

## Trivia

We learned from the timeline graphic that this episode takes place in a dream during the 24 hour sleep needed for Nanami to work her healing magic on **SephirothSword57** to restore his eardrums he destroyed during the Ocarina of Time review. His hearing is back to normal by the time of the next video.
Sonic Adventure 2 - Sephirothsword57 Review

**Sonic Adventure 2** is an action platformer originally developed by *Sonic Team USA*, and published by *Sega* for the Sega Dreamcast in 2001, then ported as an ehanced version *(**Sonic Adventure 2: Battle**)* to Nintendo Gamecube in 2002. The version **SephirothSword57** reviews is the original Dreamcast version.

This was Shadow the Hedgehog's first appearance by order of video release, although his official first appearance was actually in the previously thought lost Sonic the Hedgehog review which was made before the **Sonic Adventure** 2 review.

## Episode synopsis

**SephirothSword57** is lounging on his sofa, feeling bored. He reaches over towards the bookcase where he keeps his games, until his eyes go wide and he pulls out a game case, stating it's time to talk about that game. After the intro sequence plays, **SephirothSword57** greets the viewer and talks briefly about the history of *Sonic the Hedgehog*, eventually leading to the topic for the day: **Sonic Adventure 2.**

### The review

* **Solid, if somewhat dated gameplay**
* **Wonderful soundtrack by *Crush 40***
* **Six characters, each with different playstyles**

**SephirothSword57** informs the viewer that he's actually never finished the game. He activates his *Mangekyō Sharingan* and sets out to correct this. After some intense gameplay, **SephirothSword57** collapses from exhaustion and is ready to give up when Shadow appears and gives **SephirothSword57** an encouraging speech. **SephirothSword57** is filled with newfound energy and starts playing again, eventually finishing the game.

**SephirothSword57** says finishing the game after so long was one of the best gaming moments he's ever had, that the game has stood the test of time, and that it's one of his all-time favourite games. He urges the viewers to try it out for themselves, before delivering his closing catchphrase. He then gets up, and the video ends on a montage of **SephirothSword57** wistfully taking a walk around town as a somber cover of *City Escape* plays.

## Trivia

The ending cover version of *City Escape* was uploaded as its own video to the YouTube channel in 2018, seen below:

**Final Fantasy X** is a Japanese role-playing game originally developed and published by *Square Enix* in 2001 for the PlayStation 2, later recieving several ports. The version **SephirothSword57** features in the story is the fictitious *"Ultimate Sin Edition."*

This non-review episode was the first Halloween special, and marks the first split in the timeline of the SephirothSword57 Show.

## Episode synopsis

A voiceover by **SephirothSword57** tells the story of how he picked up a questionable disc of the game *Final Fantasy X - Ultimate Sin Edition* in a yard sale. Days later, he is home alone and in the mood to play a JRPG. As he tries to insert his copy of *Disgea 2: Cursed Memories,* he notice there already was a game disc in his PlayStation 2. He concludes it must have been the game he picked up at the yard sale earlier, and that his brother must have been responsible for this. Since the game was already in, he decides to play it.

As the main menu opens up, he notice the "new game" option is unavailable, and there already being a save, which he loaded. He finds himself in *Besaid Island,* with no music, and *Tidus* already downed and unable to be raised with a pheonix down. Suspecting this to be a glitch, he keeps playing. After the battle there still is no music, and the only sound to be heard is *Yuna* crying in the distance. As **SephirothSword57** tries to use a pheonix down on *Tidus* out on the field, there's a power outage in the house. **SephirothSword57** flips the fusebox switches, then finds the TV and the game already powered on where the *Besaid Island* music was playing backwards and *Yuna* crying more clearly. As **SephirothSword57** moves around the area, he notice *Tidus'* model is lacking a head before the game crashes. When he started the game again, *Tidus'* decapitated head was staring back at him with bleeding *Sharingan* eyes.

## Trivia

This video marks a split in the timeline where **SephirothSword57** has a 50% chance to be cursed by the *Sharingan* eyes. If he is cursed, the timeline branches off to *The Dark Age* and leads into the following year's halloween special, SephirothSword57 Vlog. If he avoids the curse, the timeline continues into *The Age of Rising Darkness,* and is followed by Game Design & Mario Maker.

Medal of Valor

### Awarded for

"For singular acts of daring and devotion, placing ones duty above him or herself."

### Date first awarded

50 A.C.

The Medal of Valor is a distinguished award giving to those who have place their call to duty above themselves, even if it means their own lives. It is the highest and most honorable award given to a member of the Armed Forces of Almoriae, with great emphasis on duty, honor and bravery. The award is also the oldest that is currently still given by the empire, with its first issuance to that of Raven Sovarien at the conclusion of the war of the 12 nations.

## History

The story behind the medal is often misconstrued throughout the history of the Empire. The award was unofficially given to Raven Sovarien at the conclusion of the war of twelve nations, although at that time it was not given its official name. The medal, which took the form of a jeweled pedant, was given as a gift to recognize Raven's bravery and devotion to linking the twelve great nations together.

## Notable Recipients

#### Raven Sovarien

Given as a gift of the twelve nations after ending the great war between them. Given for recognition of his bravery in fighting to preserve the peace.

#### Nymeriah Dexovzien

Given for her final stand against the invasion forces of Ork kingdom of Tilandus. Nymeriah at the time was a Dragon Lord and given command over the last few remaining battalions protecting the city of Orius. After facing days of besieging and fighting, the orkish knights broke through city walls. Fighting to the bitter end, Nymeriah fought against impossible odds for days on end. It was not until Morvekai and his retaliation force arrived that the fighting was eventually brought to an end and the invaiders were forced to withdraw.

## Trivia

The medal itself is largely based on the real world Medal of Honor, awarded to members of the United States Military for courageous actions above the call of duty.
Ahinoam

Undead Anatomy

**Ahinoam** is played by Daed. She escaped the Barren Woods along with Arlo Matters and Samuel to Ahmand.

## Description

Looks like a knight in stupidly shining armor. Down to the helmet, will probably start decaying in a bit.

No offense to anyone else here, but she's probably one of the more good aligned characters that could probably be found in the woods, though that'll probably change as a Thrall. She also seems to believe in redemption all the damned time, so she can be rather gullible.

"I'm not strong, not tough, not brave, nothing. I'm not extremely intelligent. I might be naive, in fact. I can't help repair this place with my physical or mental attributes, but I believe that if I can make anyone's day at least a little bit better with my music, I'll have done my part in restoring this damned hellscape to civilization. Do you really want to ruin that?" -Douglas Jefferies

Adriano Tumino was the Italian Vulture from a Renaissance Era reality with a parchment look. A dimensional incident transported him across realities to Earth-65, where he ended up in the New York City's Guggenheim Museum.
