Xenosaga I - 60 - Ma Belle Peche

[DragoonIceX]

Momo i love you but get the fuck away from the freak don't watch him!

[zanrokand88]

._. That has to be one of the most SCARIEST things I had ever seen -shuddering- I didn't realize how freakin DARK this game is! But THIS! This is just plain scary!

[zxscd]

Foolish MOMO. If you are in front of a guy willing to cut his limbs, ya should run and tell it to to a guy without that tendencies. She is doing it terribly wrooooooong....

[IronKingLeo]

I like how people appreciate types like this in fiction, but in reality wouldn't even think of associating with them IRL. That said.... I think he's interesting.

[fenel555heinz]

This scene is

Original(JAP) ver >> this ver

[Noah5443]

@fenel555heinz - No way. Not only is Crispin Freeman way better as Albedo, but Albedo ripping off his own head with his bare hands >>>> Cutting it off with a knife while enshrouded in darkness.

[jimmytwotimez]

Albedo's theme song is so damn great lol

[keichaos34]

I think this scene scarred me since I first played Xenosaga. XD

[whoo689]

LOL. They got rid of the knife that he was holding to her head in the English version? Pussies!

[accursedblackmage]

.

Shion: do you hear something? it sounds like a.....song.

Allen: a song? Shion, you so crazy!

[myco7ify]

Albedo is....awesome x)

in a creepy way

poor Momo i would have fainted to

[Yajiro]

I love this scene but personaly I find the censored version (this one) to be much more violent ironicaly. In the original Albedo just removes his head quickly with the knife. In this one, you get longer shots of him RIPPING HIS HEAD OFF BARE-HANDED.Yeah right, censored version...

[Lammy4ever7]

And this is the CENSORED version. The hilarious irony is that when you take the knife away, the way he approaches her looks more sexual and more disturbing. When he has a knife, he has a clearer reason for getting in her face and threatening her. But without the knife, it looks he's just getting close to her to...get close to her. Yikes.

[NobunagasAmbition]

Crispin Freeman does the voice for both Gaignun and Albedo.

[PluriasConcentio]

this is the perfect example of WHY Albedo is fit for the most evil antagonist to ever be created. God complex + mental instability X years of time to create f*cked up philosophy / almost impossible to kill = evil antagonist perfection

[ultrajd]

I may not like him but Albedo's regeneration power would be convenient to have for the military.

[CloudLear]

I think the music is creepy too

[angelamaski]

"BOO! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!"

LOL at that. Albedo wins the Villain Awards.

[kikyosdaughter]

he calls MOMO Ma Belle Peche, because MOMO's name means Peach!

[HPfan295]

Pêche=peach

pêché=sin

If my memory of wikipedia is correct, this should be right.

[Cresian]

BOO!

[jupface]

This is why Albedo is my favourite villian in any RPG.

[yakurashima]

Amen to that.

[LOZFangirl12]

What does "Ma Belle Pêche" mean?

[sasgay]

"My beautiful peach"

[eclipseX49]

he could be calling her ma belle peche in regards to fish because 'pêche' also means fishing, just a thought

[sasgay]

I did wonder that myself, but

a. "peach" makes much more sense in context.

b. Calling someone "fishing" doesn't make sense. If he'd said "poisson" sure, but it just doesn't work in context.

[eclipseX49]

yeah i agree but it was just a thought, just when he said 'you'll make me feel like a pêché' i was just contemplating the possibilities. either way he's an awesomely sadistic villain

[sasgay]

Yeah, I gave it a bit of thought too lol.

Oh totally. Definitely Crispin Freeman's best role too.

[eclipseX49]

Crispin Freeman? Wow he has a wide voice range i'm currently becomming familiar with him as Hagi in Blood+ he's insanley talented :)

[xgr290]

It's peach, actually it's a word pun on her name because "momo" means peach in Japanese.

[onimotoko]

I know, he's such a creep!

[goodgamesir]

After he says 'Boo!' his laugh is sooo awesome. Best villian laugh ever.

[Sephirachan]

I love how they censored it, but ended up making it more horrifying. Haha.

"Let's remove the black bar and his knife...but let's TWIST HIS HEAD OFF. LIKE A BOTTLE CAP."

The twisting of the head and the sounds he makes and watching it all just made it more awesome. Haha.

[shishikyuu]

this english version is censored quite a bit isn't it?

[Omega231984]

I think the story writer is onto something scientifically about the universe's signal waves that controls the universe

[cokerpilot]

FUCKING CRAZY AWESOMENESS VILLAIN

you got love this guy he is just so fucked up

+

he's physically immortal and he knows it.

and he knows how to use it

[p3006325]

Fun Fact

Albedo calls her his little kirschwasser

kirschwasser - a colorless alcoholic drink distilled from the fermented juice of black cherries

[p3006325]

and peche is also a alcoholic drink

"Expect a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone" it is a biblical reference

[Genomes]

Actually he's calling the Kirschwassers that as thats the model names.

[Vladislak]

Although I must admit, this has to be one of the most disturbing scene's I've ever seen. o_O

[Vladislak]

I see many people comparing Albedo to Kefka. I think they're both complete maniacs, but in different ways.

Albedo's a psycho because he can't die. He's afraid of outliving everyone and being alone. Everything he does is just an attempt to get Rubedo to kill him.

"If I link with U-DO

again, I wonder if hell kill me I hope he will. He is our leader, after all."

That about sums up Albedo.

Kefka's insane because... Well he just wants to destroy stuff. xD

Personally, I like em both the same. :D

[cokerpilot]

my god some one who understands

O_O there is yet hope

[LightSagaProductions]

Whoops!! Wrong video response!!! DX Erghh....

[Laxanii]

Albedo is on par with Sephiroth. He's like Kefka and his insanity puts him on the top of one of the greatest underated villains of all-time. If video games had more respect towards their stories, he would be recognized above most villains. Plus, if you actually listen to him; he's right. Still, it's wrong to do the things that he did. That is why they're called "villains" be they right or wrong. I just wish people would actually listen.

[cokerpilot]

nice

[AuronTsubaki85]

Albedo kind of reminds me of Kefka for some reason. Maybe's because he more of a psycho then Kefka was.

[Underpants158]

Probably the laugh.

[EmoNekoChan]

Albedo is a creepy, pedophilic manipulated son of a bitch....he does down as one of the best RPG villians ever.... I was cringing at this scene when I first saw it. He's a better villian than Sephiroth.

[ladycoreander]

My most favorite scene from the whole game (episode 1 that is). I can't help but giggle with glee every time I watch it.

[Tiniekittycat]

I wonder how the preson who plays as Albedo laughs...

[Guciom]

Albedos VC is Crispin Freeman, the guy who plays Alucard from Hellsing and Itachi from Naruto. He can laugh like a maniac and like a flufy dinosaur.

[Tiniekittycat]

Albedo is creppy and cool... no maybe is so creppy he's cool........

[Guciom]

In the japanyse version its much more brutal.

[Zikau]

Yep. The other one is way better. T_T

[jommamadidyomama]

albedo just loves hurting himself doesnt he?he is such an emo sometimes.and crazy too.a crazy emo

[ShinobiShaw]

Albedo is truly (like the ODM says) a cunning Linguist! I am impressed by the eloquence and dramatics of his speech!

[POLE7645]

He also quotes Shakespeare and the Bible.

[p3006325]

if you paid attention you would have noticed tones of bible and shakespeare REF

marieankind = "child of mary" = Child of Virgin Mary

Zohar = God

emulators emulate gods will

emulator - marieankind = Jesus

emulator - the rest = the 12 Deciples

"ye shall be as gods" from Genesis 3:5

the testiments (the red guy for those who dont know the story)

and more

[Nyx685]

Albedo is one fucked up dude.

[DarkExodiuos]

I got a question for all of you watching this. Who is more malicious, Albedo or Light Yagami from Death Note?

[PitylessEnvy]

Light is a lot more malicious.

I mean, what's worse, mind-raping robots, or killing thousands of people (some of which are innocent)

[BattleJesus]

I'd really have to go with Albedo

[DenarianLord]

@DarkExodiuos Albedo, he's a LOT more insane.

[gamesmaster35]

@DarkExodiuos I don't know Realians aren't exactly robots.They seem to have thoughts and emotions like any other human being.He even acknowledges this but has no problem needlessly slaughtering bunches of them for no real reason other than sick enjoyment.Light on the other hand despite his means had at least a noble purpose to bring about ultimate justice.So I'm going with Albedo for most malicious. 2 years late but the topic was too good to pass up.

[aleic14]

@gamesmaster35

I thought they were sort of like biological robots, but they are really really close to humans



[warrenman89]

WTF IS WRONG WITH HIM

[MorganHime]

Thanks for putting these up. I've beaten the game, but this is like playing it again! I love how there are so many cutscenes in this game, it just made you want to keep playing to see the next ones.

[whitewolf725]

Yeah. I felt that way too. I really enjoyed the cutscenes.

[megamie]

ouch... well she's traumatized for life.

[generalnazor]

Yeah ,he was messed up in this one.

[DenzelBoy]

dude is it me, or is albedo the coolest, even if he does rip of his head or not, he is so cool!

[MorganHime]

Hey, if it grew back, why wouldn't you rip your own head off? I'm kidding, Albedo's craziness is his best feature.

[Ellychan]

Is it wrong that I totally love Albedo? xD (Although if anyone says it is, I'm just going to laugh anyway.)

[MorganHime]

Completely agree with you. Best villain I have seen in a very long time.

[Zikau]

Not at all.  I probably love him more than you do, if I say so myself. ¬¬

..........

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[CaptinChuchu]

Kirschwasser sounds like a gun brand.

[elvickRULES]

I freak out over this scene everytime.. probably because of how much I adored MOMO's character.

God I still can't watch it without shuttering.

[EssiMonster]

the most impressive scene in the game. i shake my head everytime when he rips of his head. perfect psycho

[PitylessEnvy]

Have you seen the uncensored version? He uses a knife. xD

[EssiMonster]

yes i saw it. the first time i saw the japanese version, i nearly fell off my chair cause i didn't expect it. In combination with his creepy laughing, the best villain ever! xD

[whitewolf725]

Yeah. You can still hear the knife sound in this one. That's funny. You can also hear the Kischwasser's arm breaking even though they censored that too.

[MorganHime]

I wonder why they bothered to censor anything. Throughout the rest the game they didn't cut anything else out (something I am very happy about), but they change this scene? Weird.

[Zikau]

Actually they changed the scene where Albedo is trying to obtain the Y-Data from MOMO's mind too. Look at Wikipedia for the full description of the changes.

[SeymoreOmnis]

Woah.
