MADARU
MADARU
おん あぼきゃ べいろしゃのう まかぼだら まに はんどま
(Om abokya beiroshanō makabodara mani handoma)
じんばら はらばりたや うん 奈落 に 歌う 六根清浄
(Jinbara harabaritaya un naraku ni utau wa ROKKON SHŌJŌ)
If that's what you call karma, I must be a demon
God knows, that no voice can be heard by the damned
めいど の 空即是色、三千 の 不浄、乱暴 の 無明、三千 の 精靈
(Meido no kūsokuzeshiki, Sanzen no fujō, Ranbō no mumyō, Sanzen no shōryō) (Out of her way)
This is her way
(In the light, cut away, all vexations)
It's never over yesterday, I'm the time exile
(I'm the ghost, of my name, just call my name, I'm the time exile)
I'm the time exile!
Sever. Tear. Fear.
おん あぼきゃ べいろしゃのう まかぼだら まに はんどま
(Om abokya beiroshanō makabodara mani handoma)
じんばら はらばりたや うん 奈落 に 歌う 六根清浄
(Jinbara harabaritaya un naraku ni utau wa ROKKON SHŌJŌ)
There is no salvation, only armaggedon
God knows, there's those who would better hand the vexations unto them
めいど の 空即是色、三千の不浄、乱暴の無明、三千の精靈
(Meido no kūsokuzeshiki, Sanzen no fujō, Ranbō no mumyō, Sanzen no shōryō) (Out of her way)
This is her way
(In the light, cut away) (All vexations)
The day which will never begin, I'm the time exile!
(I'm the ghost, of my name, just call my name!)
I don't need your sympathy, why won't anyone leave me alone!
If I had a comrade, I wonder what I would tell them, yes, yes, I knew the answer!
(In the light, cut away, all vexations)
Take off all vexations!
Is never over yesterday, no, don't stand still!
My vengeance will be a sacrifice, then kill the pain!
The hardest road lies ahead, I will be a mirror of the world!
おん あぼきゃ べいろしゃのう まかぼだら まに はんどま
(Om abokya beiroshanō makabodara mani handoma)
(I am not the exile)
じんばら はらばりたや うん 奈落 に 歌う 六根清浄
(Jinbara harabaritaya un naraku ni utau wa ROKKON SHŌJŌ)
Break off all vexations!
おん あぼきゃ べいろしゃのう まかぼだら まに はんどま
(Om abogya beiroshanō makabodara mani handoma)
(Get off my way!)
じんばら はらばりたや うん 奈落 に 歌う 六根清浄
(Jinbara harabaritaya un naraku ni utau wa ROKKON SHŌJŌ)
(You are not the exile)

The song basically described her entire evolution over the games. From a lone warrior, travelling the world just to get her revenge and nothing else, to finding some people who understand her pain, to finally awaken and realizing that she isn't alone - and that she can save others from the path she has walked.

For those wondering, the Japanese lines in her special black-and-white intro translate to “I humbly ask, I humbly ask, though it be sudden: where doth lie Hell?

In the end Baiken accepted a fact that for all traumatized people it’s hard to come to terms with: No matter how much you push people away, no matter how mean and angry you are (and rightfully so), no matter how much you turn your back to the rest of the world, you will still be loved and find that light at the end of the tunnel, and it will HURT. I feel like a whole character analysis could be done on Baiken and how much her behaviors mirror those of actual real life trauma victims. She believes she’s horrible, unlovable and just a carrier of revenge, but in the end she’s a hurt woman who needed to start healing to find her own freedom from the shackles of the past. She’s by all means a warrior, I love her so much.

From the genius lyrics page: "The ‘Mantra of Light’ is a popular sutra used in certain sects of Japanese Buddhism, recited to cleanse one’s karma after committing a sin in the transition to rebirth. The line that follows, roughly translating to ‘Let us sing a song to cleanse our spirits’ reinforcing the purpose of the sutra. The rest of the verse pushes back against the notion, presumably from the perspective of Baiken, believing that sin cannot be atoned for and the bad deeds that she has committed are ingrained to her soul." However I notice that at the end of the song that the sutra is not undercut, as if Baiken is finally forgiving herself for her past actions. Lots of really good details.

The low end is literally 90% of this song's flair. Really gives it that animalistic yet introspective feel. We're literally a part of Baiken's internal struggle; anger versus rationality. I especially love the part at the start of the chorus, you hear the guitar rise with a very hopeful riff just for the bass to counteract it and come back in full force not soon after. In the end, it's a cacophony of all the parts that make Baiken, Baiken. She's human and still prone to anger, the threat of losing herself to vengeance is ever present. But she'll try to be better, cause it's the only chance she's got to keep going.

I think one of the most impressive things about this song is the nearly 7 minute run time. It is almost impossible to listen to the entire song in the course of a match. You would have to let every round time out to 99 seconds and have a double KO on the 3rd round to even come close to listening to the whole song in game. Daisuke really isn't afraid to prioritize style over accessibility when he makes music for guilty gear.

I mean hey, Zato-1’s theme (Let Me Carve Your Way) is the same way! That big, emotional power ballad at the end is something you’ll practically NEVER hear in a live match, but it’s there regardless. The way I see it is that it’s a kind of reward for seeking the deeper truth, you feel me? Like, you’ll only reasonably hear it if you’re in training mode working on combos and stuff; getting *familiar* with the character. After all, *people only really bare their secrets to those they know and trust, right?*

Something i want to say about the "sever, tear, fear" part that i saw nobody talk about. It probably refers To the moment of her life when she lost arm. Sever: she gets her arm cut off; tear: she grieves for what happened to her; fear: she's now afraid to make bonds with anyone because she doesn't want to experience what happened to her ever again. So she stayed in solitude going through dark thoughts with no one to help her and this makes me tear up everytime i think about it. I can't imagine how she felt all that time, all alone.

a super cool thing about this song is that the chorus has some "hidden" lines; listen close at 2:15 and you'll hear "cut off" layered under "cut away" (it's what "all vexations" is leading off of). at 2:28, you can hear "call my name!" just after "i'm the ghost" and during "of my name." very subtle but gives the chorus so much depth!

I really love how Daisuke and his team went so hard with the shinto buddhist tones in this theme. Her arc throughout the entire series is essentially a shinto buddhist redemption arc mixed with Guts' arc from Berserk. She starts out incapable of letting go of her hatred and revenge which makes her get closer to being nothing more than a rabid animal and incapable of accepting the care people (mostly Anji) will show towards her only slowly learning to accept these feelings and renouncing her anger towards the end of Rev2. There are a bunch of references to enlightenment and peace of mind in her Strive song because she's come accept and move past her life of suffering and has attained enlightenment by confronting her "sins" and is ready to die (in the buddhist sense). Which in samurai fiction, coming to terms with your mortality is like, the ultimate power move because you will never feel any hesitation or fear ever again (It's also why Nagoryuki asks for her mentorship in their intro. Despite him being much older,.He can FEEL her experience and enlightenment just by looking at her).

For those who can't understand the lyrics from 1:07 Its kind of sutras of Buddhism and generally Japaneses also don't understand the meaning and even what they are saying. Its called 光明真言(koumyoushingon) and it is believed in that if you invoke this sutra time after time wholeheartedly , you are relieved from any evils or disasters.

@Minwon Jang Well, it was meant to be mostly a joke! I'm not going to pretend I know much about Buddhism, but I knew that was at least somewhat inaccurate, since 'heaven' in their case is all about escaping the cycle of rebirth. I don't really know how evils and disasters are meant to go into it, but I made a joking statement, since I know many people have probably memorized the sutra because of this song! (I came back to listen to this again, but after seeing my old comment, I think a better way to say it is that the fans who have memorized this song must be doing very well!)

I will NOT make a joke for Boobkin- I mean Boobkin- I mean Boobkin- Baiken’s backstory is one with agony, sadness, and revenge. After a gear had murdered her entire family and left her mangled, her path changed to one of revenge and pain. Whatever she did, it was to get closer to “That Man” and to kill him to avenge her fallen family, people, and for herself. But, in this theme, it seems that she’s finally given that up and now wants to live her life in peace. Her sword used to made up of all of her pain and revenge, but now nothing makes it up. She now wants to just fight just to fight and to improve herself. Baiken is a hurt, yet beautiful person. And her theme showing her entire character arc being vaulted is such a chilling experience. Baiken is now a waifu, but it’s not because she has big boobs, but is someone that is inspiring and someone you can learn from. Her theme is an amazing piece of art to witness and listen to. I’m so happy that I got to hear it. Thank you Daisuke for making such an amazing game and characters, especially Baiken. Certified bop.

Everyone know her, can recognize her, and wil remember her, since her older design from the 2D titles had a little bit of sense of "déjà vu", in a way.
