also fun fact , at 3:08 if you try and be a smartass by picking the red skull first the pedestal still stays the same even after you go back and take the blue skull again so its gonna be the reverse of the first skull you pick up
fun fact: i missed BOTH of the books after beating the secret ferrymen on 8-3 so i was just wondering "what the fuck was the purpose of that bossfight"
13:55 It says "Stay Frugal, Fix Them First" It's a wartime poster, telling people to not be wasteful and to fix their clothes instead of buying new ones to conserve the scarce resources.
The thing that I find special about the "nocturnal" Systems is in it's name. The fact that it can work.. Efficiently during the night, aka without the sun, which was one of the "flaws" of the earthmovers and the reason that led to their ultimate failure.
3:05 a detail i have not seen anyone commenting on is the sound that plays when the player turns back after seeing that the pedestal has changed colors. It's kinda sounds like laughter, so i guess that is the first hint that fraud is basically a stage play to hell.
I find it really interesting that the first look at God’s true form in Ultrakill is in the layer of *Fraud*. I dunno if I’m reading too far into this but since this is all made by Hell, which is sentient, it feels to me like Hell is calling God himself a fraud for abandoning his creations(including Hell).
2:42 Actually Phanuel and Uriel are the same archangel Hakita just decided to name him differently for some reason even tho Uriel is the more popular variant
With the dead V1 and the puppet strings, a lot of people thought it was a representation of Hell being the puppetmaster of V1 as a metaphor, but it's ALSO literal, because the first time you see the Mirror Reaper after grabbing the Blue Skull, in the reflection it's holding the the wooden cross with your strings on it.
