Azure arbitrator because come on

AnnaChicky

perfect timing, I just requested Vs Dark Gaia and Super Sonic Vs Perfect Dark Gaia from Sonic Unleashed. though for something that isn't Sonic, my personal pick would be Honkai: Star Rail - Harmonious Choir: The Great Septimus. preferably the 11-minute version I requested a while ago, which should include everything; from the in-between phases tracks as well as snippets of the cutscenes that play to help with visual context.

Arjan Zweers

Going back to the NES era, Castlevania 3 Boss Battle. It's a horror themed battle song that gives you a feeling of dread rather than an adrenaline rush

Paloma McClain

Bloodborne - Cleric Beast

capnsilver

I said hag 1 from banjo tooie to see how many vgm vibes we can get grant kirkhope in

Luigi

Update: the song IS on the list

Total Radlad

The easiest answer for me would be You Will Know Our Names and any of its variants/successors from Xenoblade.

Damien Bongers

There are been four boss themes you've already done from Etrian Odyssey: - Scatter About (Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold, secret boss theme) - The End of the World (Etrian Odyssey Untold, story-mode final boss) - Ordeal of Stars (Etrian Odyssey V, final boss) - Hoist the Sword with Pride in the Heart (Etrian Odyssey Nexus, regular boss theme) I do have another that would be a great addition: - Calling that Detestable Name (Etrian Odyssey Nexus and Etrian Odyssey 3, post-game final boss)

icoriha

Kirby and the Forgotten Land - Decisive Battle: Ultimate Z

Chumister

Vs. Star Dream, Vagrant counting song of retrospection/keepsake of oblivion, Kirby Planet Robobot

jumpingwjoy

i need that etrian odyssey representation XD for songs you've already heard, i hope you have Hoist The Sword With Pride In The Heart from EO nexus in your list!

HeraldBFC

“Do you know what that means? I’ll tell you. I am the most powerful trainer in the world!” Vs. Blue/Vs. (World) Champion, Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow / Black/White / Let's Go

capnsilver

Banjo Tooie - Hag 1, pizza tower - unexpectancy part 1, 2, 3, dynamite headdy two part song for the same boss first is walk towards me second is you're Izayoi

capnsilver

I'll make the first half of my comment songs in your back log that you haven't heard yet and the second half will be a few songs you have listened to that i can remember. Banjo Tooie Hag 1, dynamite headdy two part song for the same boss first part is walk towards me and the second is you're Izayoi, super mario 64 bowser's theme and ultimate koopa, bowser's fury all 3 phases, super mario rpg battle against smithy and battle against smithy who likes transforming, smash bros ultimate - super mario world fortress boss, splatoon 3 bear with me, pokemon legends Arceus - Arceus battle, Pokemon Daimond and pearl - Lake trio battle, pokemon black and white 2 champion Iris theme, Pokemon x and y - vs. champion blue, Pizza tower unexpectancy part 1 to 3, pizza tower calzonification, pizza tower pepperman strikes PART 2 a few songs you've listened to that I can remember Grunty battle - banjo & kazooie, sephiroth theme, splatoon 2 tidal rush, Pokemon legends arceus - Giratina battle, A hat in time - snatcher battle and battle of award 42, sonic adventure 2 live and learn it is used during a boss fight, octopath traveler daughter of a dark god. i'll leave a smaller comment with just 3 picks because I think this is too big a comment and might be ignored because of it.

Raidou

Baldurs Gate 3 - Raphael's Final Act. He even sings his own boss theme

Gustavo Rodriguez

Om Mani Padme Hum, part 1 - Risk of Rain 2 There's 3 parts but part 1 is the boss theme. I recommend listening to the other songs before hand but part 1 is the main boss. (The correct order is part 3, part 2, and part 1)

Puzzledturnabout

Lost Judgment - Dig in your heels/Unwavering Belief

Raidou

Persona 5 Strikers - Rivers in the Desert, on the list ;)

Raidou

Already heard: "Final Fantasy - One Winged Angel"

HeraldBFC

My biggest pick has already been suggested but, man, Sonic Rush needs more respect? Bomber Barbara is an excellent final boss theme, though I wish it were longer.

Boethion

Perfect opportunity to finish out the Pandaemonium raid from ffxiv with "Athena, The Tireless One" as the big culmination/medley of the series. As a reminder you reacted to "Hic Synt Leones" and "Scream" from the same raid before and when you do cover the above suggestion there is also "One Amongst the Weary" as basically the 3rd piece of what the final song is building on. For ingame context Athena is the head researcher whos ambitions to become a God caused all the bad in the raid to happen, including manipulating her own husband and treating her child as nothing but a tool.

TheGermanWizard

Whats a VGM vibes without sonic being in it? still VGM vibes, but there is still some to choose from. "Big Arm" from Sonic generations would be my pick, cuz it just blew you away if its already in your picks then i would nominate something else i requested a while ago, "I'm here" from Sonic Frontiers. the only titan theme you were missing. And if open requests are not on the table, "find your flame" from sonic frontiers instead. (note, these are contigency picks) And there are still so many other sonic bosses you heard already, a second visit to this kind of VGM vibes is definitely warranted lol

Uncle Aura

Battle 2 from Lufia 2, aka the boss theme.

Isa

On the list: Grandia Xterme-Combat 4. This is both a boss them for an extra boss called Volt Beast and the Final Boss iirc. It's one of the few JRPG Boss theme I keep coming back to all these years and honestly believe it's Noriyuki Iwadare's best boss theme in the Grandia series

witchtimez

Rise and Invasion - Odin Sphere This is the theme for an endgame boss fight and does a great job painting the setting image solely through the arrangement

witchtimez

A Grueling Road to Glory - Odin Sphere This theme and the boss it is connected to is intimidating in a way many boss characters don't seem to be portrayed imo.

witchtimez

Powerful look - Oboro Muramasa It's in the list, you haven't heard much of it, it's not got a modern port yet and is an excellent use of Japanese instrumentals and violin for a tense boss fight

bakedroyal

Vs. The Wicked Company - Kirby: Planet Robobot Main boss theme of the game

HeraldBFC

As tempting as it is to suggest other Pokemon themes, it's literally either that or Vs. Blue from R/B/Y. There's a reason why they keep bringing back/riffing on both themes. But it's also like ten reactions by itself XD

RogueMonk

Armored Core 5 - Stain Plays during the final boss battle

Venusian Bacon

For what you've already heard, Undefeatable from the Sonic Frontiers OST.

Paloma McClain

Drakengard 1 - Chapter XIII - Closing

Berserker88

Known as "The Grand Finale" or "In the Final" on the list.

Berserker88

I should clarify that it's also known as "In the Final".

Ash

For a Touhou Boss theme you've done already, "Lunatic Princess" from Touhou 8, I think you said it was your favorite touhou theme a few times

Berserker88

The other one that immediately sticks out to me that you've done is Meta Ridley's boss theme from Metroid Prime. Mainly for the sake of variety.

Berserker88

Oh boy, a lot of ones to choose from here, so I'll have to go with my favorite game on this one: Gruntilda's battle theme from Banjo-Kazooie.

Hiro

Trails to Azure (Ao no Kiseki) - Unfathomed Force

Hiro

Trails in the Sky SC (Sora no Kiseki SC) - The Merciless Savior

Hiro

Trails of Cold Steel IV (Sen no Kiseki IV) - Majestic Roar

InnerShaper

Disgaea - Beautiful Round Dance (Not yet listened to)

Captain Invictus

Lufia 2 - Sinistral Battle Theme Just an impeccable final confrontation with the fate of the world in the balance. Lufia 2's music was very JRPG, and yet had this feel to it that set it aside from everything else that came out on those consoles. A much more "rock-focused" style to a lot of it, imo.

SPiTFirE

And i have to throw in FFXIV - Triumph - Stormblood Dungeon Boss theme. It's an FF14 boss battle theme you've NOT heard and it's one of the best!

SPiTFirE

You have heard Saturos Battle from Golden Sun Dark Dawn before. But you haven't heard the GBA version from the original Golden Sun, which I think is better personally. It's definitely in my top 10 boss battles.

SPiTFirE

Ooh i don't think you've heard Champion Lance/vs Red from Pokemon Silver/Gold. It's on the list under both names.

Antis

On the list: Disgaea 2 — White Tiger

Shinku Quickman

Psycho's Anthem from Like a Dragon Gaiden The Man Who Erased His Name

Antis

Okay, switch that to "Already heard" I guess XD

star light

Death Egg Robot Phase 2 - Sonic Forces

Brace_Q

Kirby 64 Miracle Matter

Luigi

Not on the list but this is THE boss song. Metaphor ReFantazio: You Face Louis Guiabern

Gheor Rug Huirg

Persona 4 - The Almighty

Gheor Rug Huirg

The Last Story - Invitation to Madness

Gheor Rug Huirg

Sonic Adventure 2 - Supporting Me

Phillip Leger

Oneirophobia - Destiny 2

Gheor Rug Huirg

Dark Souls - Gwyn, Lord of Cinder

Sohnano

Already heard the original but... FFVI - Dancing Mad (Distant Worlds)

Aceron

I'll just drop Frostpunk, The City Must Survive. A rare final boss theme in a city building game where the boss is just the weather. This, I believe, you have heard before.

Sohnano

If we're talking Dancing Mad, the Distant Worlds version is amazing!

Sohnano

On the list: Super Mario 3D World: Bowser's Fury - Fury Bowser.

benjamin Miller

“Serpent eating the horizon” is the final boss theme for Bravely Default, that deserves to be on here.

Sohnano

On the list: Mario Rabbids - Rabbid Kong.

Sohnano

On the list: FFX - Assault.

Sohnano

It forever hunts us all! (in the best possible way)

tarik1907

Mario & Luigi Dream Team - Never Let Up!

Xanudo

For something you haven't heard which has multiple versions on the list: The Other Promise - Kingdom Hearts

David Treago

The cheapest suggestion: live and learn - sonic adventure 2

DashingIb

Vellunental boss theme from Paper Mario the Origami King

Xanudo

For a song you've already heard: Vector to the Heavens - KH3 BUT there's other versions of it in the list you haven't reacted to including the original.

Anthony Pietra

"Nonaggression" from Sonic Advance 3

LegendOfBroki

Final Fantasy XVI - Away

Pookster Prime

On the list, I may have requested it . A different Lost Odyssey boss track, Dark Saint. The obvious Lost Odyssey track is Howl of the Departed, but Dark Saint is sort of a prelude to that track. Boss before the final boss...If I remember correctly.

Eli Gozdiff

Transformers Devastation - soundwaves theme

sonicglenjamin

alkaline_cw

Wild Star

One last one, versus Gleeman Vox from Ratchet Deadlocked

Wild Star

All these suggestions but no Unexpectancy from Pizza Tower? This must be rectified!

Wild Star

Whale on a sub from pac man world 2… I'm noticing a pattern…

Wild Star

Clyde in the caldera from pac man world 2

Wild Star

Pinky’s revenge from Pac man world 2

Wild Star

Inky’s blade-o-matic from Pac man world 2

Wild Star

Blinky’s killer frog from Pac man world 2

Azra Abrams

Cabe Bedlam

Cabe Bedlam

Already heard: Mana Khemia - Nefertiti (on the list under Atelier Meruru, since the version you heard showed up there)

CefDaChef

Of course FF7 Those Who Fight Further/Fight On! Also Incoming! from Xenoblade Chronicles 2

IllegallySam

MECHA BEE DESTROYER BLASTLORD from Bug Fables

MrDragon666

Honkai Star Rail - Wildfire The Music from Hoyoverse Games is always so much better than they have any right to be for mere Gacha Games and this one in particular is absolutely amazing

Luigi4160

Arknights - Crimson Solitaire Boss theme

Luigi4160

Pac-Man World 2 - Clyde in the Caldera The music is surprisingly intense for a Pac-Man game.

Luigi4160

Paper Mario: The Origami King - Disco Devil The Paper Mario series has a lot of great boss music but this one has to be one of my favourite. You know you're in for a good time just looking at the name of the music.

IllegallySam

For one you’ve already heard, Encounter Elite from Sea of Stars

IllegallySam

Cortez Battle from Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

J2ojuiced

For a boss theme that you’ve already heard, I would suggest Great Power from Trails of Cold Steel/Sen no Kiseki.

ALeafOnTheWind42

And just to mention the Octopath boss themes you've heard: Octopath 1: They Who Govern Reason Battle at Journey's End The One They Call the Witch Daughter of the Dark God Octopath CotC: Those Who Await the Path of Desire/Who Awaits on Greed's Path Octopath 2: Critical Clash II Unworldly Entity Vide, the Wicked Those Who Deny the Dawn

ALeafOnTheWind42

I'm sure one of the many Octopath boss themes you've heard (I think you've heard... 9 at this point?) are already among your considerations, so I'll go a different route: Live a Live - Megalomania Of note, Megalomania, as you may have been able to guess from the title, was a big inspiration for Megalovania (and Live a Live in general is one of Toby Fox's favorite games and a general inspiration for Undertale), so if you're planning on putting the latter in this episode, Megalomania alongside it just makes sense

Anicad

Also, I think we should really listen to the original version of FF14's Ultima Weapon battle. You listened to the Ultimate version & the live Orchestral, but the original has different instrumentation that you might like.

Anicad

I think it's time for us to revisit & re-analyse the feelings we get when we hear The Battle for Everyone's Soul.

Jade

Also known as Sullied Grace

Jade

He specifies that he already has 40 picks of his own separate from the 5 that he will pick from the comments. These 5 are the songs that ideally he wants to be new since the ones he's heard already he can just pick on his own anyway

MrDragon666

Octopath Traveler - Daughter of the Dark God

Chosen Din

"Boss Battle 1" from Kid Icarus Uprising. Legitimately my favorite boss theme in all of gaming. Composed by Yasunori Mitsuda.

Kevin Nguyen

Pretty sure this won't make the cut, but I can't not vote for Roland's theme from LoR.

MrDragon666

Btw I just noticed that your post is a little bit contradictory since first you say that you'd like to prioritize songs that you've already heard on your channel before while saying a few sentences later that you'd like the 5 songs to be songs that you haven't heard before. ^^

Patrick Shaughnessy

Snailiad - the track's just called "Boss Battle" and it's a tiny loop but a great tiny loop

Sean Shannon

Super Lesbian Animal RPG -- "VisHisS"

MrDragon666

Kingdom Hearts 2.5 ReMIX - The Other Promise

Kapitein KOEK

Second song I’ll recommend is Lufia II - Sinistral Battle. Again, crazy good. Maybe these songs can shine in the community list you talked about in this post, but these two boss themes from Lufia II are legendary (to me) and two of the greatest boss songs from the SNES era

Aurange

I think Grace and Glory from Jet Set Radio would be a really interesting one for you to experience

MrDragon666

Final Fantasy XIV - Answers Still probably one of if not THE most Iconic FFXIV Boss Theme till this day

Kapitein KOEK

Gonna suggest two songs from the same game. You haven’t heard these yet but are on the list. First one: Lufia II - Boss Battle Theme. This track is crazy good imo

Zaltiz

Haven't heard the Red/Champion battle music from Pokemon Gold/Silver and Heartgold/Soulsilver both versions are on your list and are one of the first things I think of when I think of boss music.

MrDragon666

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - Moebius Battle

DashingIb

Never Let Up - Mario and Luigi Dream team Also i really think "final boss" and "boss themes" should be 2 separate videos

Shinrasensei

A fight to the death from KH2. Song on the list, no reaction yet. A song that is both attached to a peak segment of the game and a great character.

Korralin Skye

Pokemon Legends Arceus - Giratina Battle

bakedroyal

Never Let Up! - Mario & Luigi Dream Team Currently on the list but no reaction

RCDaniel

Vs. Egg Dragoon from Sonic Unleashed

Naycateb

Ys Origin - Scars of the Divine Wing

Christopher French

Super Mario RPG (Snes or Switch version) - Versus Slightly Stronger Monster by Yoko Shimomura

Patrick Shaughnessy

Symphony of the Night - Dance of Illusions (the Richter vs. Dracula fight in the prologue)

Santiago Anguita

Massive x - Eschatos https://youtu.be/kYmgo6Z8sgo?si=NtoasFOfI9DSf-ZB https://youtu.be/gTsdA_cocUY?si=-ngZBfkTjoZRMO6J https://youtu.be/mr05ZfRzMXU?si=AUyy6o0YPxMTdT8N

Richard Welch

Another suggestion not on the channel: Majestic Roar from Trails of Cold Steel 4

Kyrie (tunesea)

Dirty and Beauty from Kirby Triple Deluxe is one of my personal favorites!!

Richard Welch

The Octopath final boss medley you reacted to is one of the best I've heard period.

Kyrie (tunesea)

You're Gonna Need a Bigger Ukulele - Risk of Rain 2

PSI Ness

Roar of Dedede - Kirby and the Forgotten Land

ShioTV

Also, should probably recommend Throw Away Your Mask - Persona 5 Royal

J2ojuiced

For one from the list that you haven’t heard yet, I would like to suggest Fateful Confrontation from Trails in the Sky SC.

Patrick Shaughnessy

Conker's Bad Fur Day - Sloprano is on your list, representing the rare category of boss themes that the boss actually sings.

PuddinHun_11

Shin Megami Tensei 5 Vengeance - The Adversary

ShioTV

Haven't heard yet: Jaldabaoth - Persona 5

Cammy123

Tbh uhh vs star dream from kirby :)

Jade

Hoo boy this one's jam packed Mine will be VS Star Dream - Kirby Planet Robobot (there are 3 phases to this boss and all 3 are in the waiting list to clarify)

Aquarius Knight

Sonic generations big arms, one of my favorite boss themes of all times. Your reaction was funny as well

Naycateb

Bravely Default - That Person's Name Is

Paloma McClain

FF16 - Titan (all phases)

Gundham

Another of my favorite boss themes would have to be "The Grand Finale" from Bowser's Inside Story. It comes as such a powerful punch when you first hear it and despite it being a Mario game, you can feel your blood pumping when this song starts up.

Gundham

I think I would have to suggest the Final Fantasy 9 boss theme! I wouldn't necessarily say its the best boss theme in the series, but I definitely think it gives some of the best "Boss Theme" Vibes. As in, when you hear it during a fight you actually feel like you are fighting for your life, and it makes it seem as if this character you are fighting is a PROBLEM and they are going to mess you up.

Josh Wyciskalla

Mega Man 3 and 5

Paloma McClain

Elden Ring - The Promised Consort

Patrick L

The Azure Arbitrator - Trails to Azure. A classic

Jackal Sniper

I'm Here - Revisited(Sonic Frontiers)

Cristopher N.

Deoxyribose from 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim! Super climactic, super intense, perfect for the penultimate battle of the game.

Question Generated By JensenGPT

Since you loved Monkey Badness so much, I'm gonna throw another Old-School RuneScape boss theme at you: Amascut's Promise. Probably the most beloved boss theme in the entire game.
