So Zephyr is cocky because he's deep down insecure and lonely, and Antrius is just what we knew he was. Truth spoken, eh, sung.

Also, Zephyr constantly attacks people in his song, while Antrius only attacks Zephyr's skills and him personally. Antrius never needs to include personal remarks to anyone else to win, because he is confident that Zephyr's flaws would be enough, while Zephyr doesn't even try to win fair and square. Basically Antrius came to have an actual discussion, while Zephyr tries to win a debate with insults, which is also found in people with lower self esteem

Someone else noticed the Owlchemist, I thought I was the only one! No sign of recognition on the trailer to season 5 tho

Great job to everyone in this banger of an episode and a shout out to Zephyr every show needs good antagonists!

@Kenneth-dt5xb Рік тому

I am loving this, anytime we get Antrius singing is great. It was also really cool to see Nixy and Evandra standing up for him. They are like a family, we can insult each other but you can't. This was just really well done from top to bottom. Keep up the fabulous work everyone!

@mitsuntsun1716 Рік тому

THIS WAS AMAZING! Oh my gosh! The lvl of lines, puns, special effects, costumes, jokes, camera angles more and more. Seriously it is amazing! I watched it more than three time in a row. I love the color/light using in the video. And the quality is amazing! An amazing Riff...eh Bard off!

@JustGrowingUp84 Рік тому

This was absolutely fantastic! The singing itself, but also the incorporation of various spells for comedic effects was on point!

Same, and the funny thing is that Nixie is my favorite.

@ricku9487 10 місяців тому

Been going thru some hard times and this video, as light hearted, silly and fun as it is. Has helped immeasurably. I could very well be applying far too much meaning to this song, but when Antrius sings "I'm not done son". I just feel it reverberate in my own mind and it lifts my spirits just a little bit.

dayuuuum I did not expect bardcore rap from Antrius, that was so amazing! And Zephyr's magic is so fun to watch! The lines are all awesome! Had to pause multiple times to react to what they say!

Did not wake up today wanting a bard rap battle, but here we are and it was beautiful. Also props to the guest, he was amazing, the zone of truth bit was my favorite part, but he slayed it throughout ^^
