Ikaruga - Butsutekkai (Boss Theme)

[SulferDragon]

This song is now my ringtone.

[CLfreak246]

WWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYY­!?

[SuperHapa]

So... Which one is harder: Touhou or Ikaruga?

[NIBkunHaremnoFan]

@SuperHapa Radiant Silvergun

[64supermarioreturns]

I play it on my Gamecube all the time, this game is TOO addicting!

[007StopMotion]

Ready? FIGHT! FINISH HIM!

[df57524]

someone should make a 8-bit remix to this theme :D

[nerfhunterseph]

not sure why.

[nerfhunterseph]

i feel beast whenever i play this game on hard.

[emasterpiece15]

YES I DID HAVE SEX WITH YOUR MOTHER!

[burnoutpro15]

@emasterpiece15 Whut.

[emasterpiece15]

@burnoutpro15 play IWBTG

[burnoutpro15]

@emasterpiece15 Oh.

[hardysforever]

My new ringtone. I love this song soooo much!

[Jurihan1]

Shut the fuck up about stupid shit like "i wanna be the faggot" and start talking about good games like the one where this music is from.

[TheSuperSaiyan]

@Jurihan1

Like I wanna be the Shrine Maiden?

[259]

@TheSuperSaiyan No, dude I Wanna be the Shrine Maiden is terrible. If you want to know a good game try I Wanna be the Shrine Maiden 2. Now with danmaku!

[xCharmed0nex]

@XxFrEEzeClanXx NO I WANNA BE THE GUY! >:(

[Anakin8th]

@xCharmed0nex FUCK ALL OF YOU!!! I WANNA BE THE GUY!!! NO I BEAT THAT GAME!!! I AM THE GUY!!!!!!! XD

[RooneyHimself]

@Anakin8th

Well good for you, now why not be a man and consider that some people don't want to hear your boasting

[Anakin8th]

@RooneyHimself

1. You can't hear me... you can only read my comment

2. Why soooouuu serious?!?

[AriesByTheStars]

Funfact, Ikaruga is one of the easier bullet hell shooters.

[PanzerousDragoon]

IWBTG doesn't stand for" I Wanna Beat This Game" does it?

[burnoutpro15]

@PanzerousDragoon I wanna be the guy. Its a downloadable game for the PC (I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT BECAUSE IT IS HARDER THAN A DIAMOND)

[zandermanandcassymom]

@PanzerousDragoon It stands for I Wanna Be The Guy.

[Wasp1984]

SOUL CALIBUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol yeah I had to say that, this music is so much like it.

[burnoutpro15]

*just bought the game* TIME TO KICK SOME ASS!

*1 level later*

WHAT THE FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-*shi­p blown up for the third time* MOTHER FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UU

*mom* CALM DOWN!

happened to me the first day i got it XD

[Icedude32]

I'm absolutely horrible at this game,but every now and then I go for a run on it on xbox live and I always love playing it

[crapheadandidiot]

When I heard this music start playing and I saw that huge fucking white knight come outta nowhere, I knew I was in for a fight.

[GreentheGunstar]

Very fitting music, considering the first boss looks like a knight. When I first played this game, I was like, "8D OMG this boss music fucking rocks." And then I got to the second boss and "Recapture" played. I said, "<:( Aw, that other theme isn't playng." Then I fought boss 3 and when it played again, I was like, " \(^_^)/ Yay!"

[gamernerd141]

Warning! The large enemy is approaching at full throttle. Sources say it is identified as 'mecha birdo' NO REFUSE

[Grakkis]

>fourth boss

>my face

[TheAntithesis7]

@Grakkis

You have no face.

[ScorpionAndZangief]

Why does this song keep getting better every time I hear it?  OH, THAT'S RIGHT, BECAUSE EVERYTHING ABOUT IKARUGA IS SHEER AND UTTER WIN!!!!!

[phenixsaint]

Great Moment.

[burnoutpro15]

at the very beginning of this song, that first note, it pretty much tells you that YOUR SCREWED!

[Tristin42]

God i love this song! Heard it on IWBTG but I'm gonna get the game that this is on!

[ScorpionAndZangief]

@Tristin42 It's a must-have, and in my opinion Ikaruga is one of the absolute greatest sh'mups of all time - and that's coming from a guy that considers Gradius and R-Type two of the greatest franchises of the NES/SNES eras

[todbot1]

I wish I had played Ikaruga. Sounds like an awesome game. I at least know for sure that the music is really good.

[SarkenHS]

@todbot1 Well, this game is on Dreamcast, xbox360 and gamecube.. Why not download a dreamcast emulator and the roms?

[ChaoticSoulBlade]

@todbot1 If you have a 360, it's out for 800 MS points.

[gjtrue]

Remains me of Hitoshi Sakimoto's overly-dramatic style.

[Addyvids]

Hated this boss on IWBTG.

[Ultrox007]

@nyvelion I Wanna Be The Guy; it's a fan-game in which this song played while you fought Mecha-Birdo

I however LOVE THIS GAME! (difficulty)

[Hemlocke3]

The first time i played this game i'd just come off a Touho game so i was like :NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!­!!!! AGAIN!?

Then I meet the 1st boss and his epic theme

[ChuckPalomo]

this one has the best quality of all in youtube

[CreationProblematic]

This music is epic.

[CreationProblematic]

@nyvelion If you were sarcastic, just ignore.

if not:

"I wanna be the guy", possibly the hardest platformer out there. Download, play, shit brix, leave. (I've completed it, though =3)

[Sidnoea]

I found this music through I Wanna Be The Guy, so I kind of feel bad. Maybe I'll play this game to make up for it.

[M30W3R]

First in MUGEN, then IWBTG.

I gotta play Ikaruga asap, this theme is stuck in my brain, I WANT MORE EPIC THEMES LIKE THIS!

[mnmboys1]

WWWWHHHHHYYYY???

[TheBuilderman123]

Rawr!!!!!!!

Mama Luigi:What Was That Something I Said?!

[mikecmtong]

i cam here for ikaruga and iwbtg, so haters can't hate!!!

[flashtado]

This is the best song in the entire Ikaruga OST collection, especially the start of the music and bass portions.

[kaldrasshield]

Sorry for double posts, but I mean I never looked at it for the other bosses. I just assume it's the same message, now.

[niclasbelrra]

W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L

[Colddirector]

Judging from all the IWBTG comments, a hell of a lot of people need to play Ikaruga.

It may or may not still be on XBLA, download it now!

[DexlessOps]

@Colddirector AH GOTS TEH DEMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OO ;D

[mattandjosh7]

nver played the game but i love the theme

[Akrilloth]

Does Butsutekkai!! mean boss theme? or what does it mean. i mean this is my favorite music to listen to when i draw mecha or robots,

[kaldrasshield]

@Akrilloth Butsutekkai means large flying mass, as I have heard from a person who speaks japanese. This is the theme of Butsutekkai, the first boss in Ikaruga.

[Akrilloth]

@kaldrasshield that makes sense, but the bosses name is Eboshidori. thx for the answer anyway, BUTSUTEKKAI!!! heh, i love that word.

[kaldrasshield]

@Akrilloth The message it displays before boss figthts.

"WARNING: The big enemy is approaching at full throttle. According to the data, it is identified as Butsutekkai. NO REFUGE"

Apparently I hadn't realized it was classed as Butsutekkai. Confusing.

[Claredeth]

My grandfather died last night and I had this theme stuck in my head when I went up to see his dead body, needless to say I felt tense. :<

[grendelson5]

I'm playing this while playing Gradius......but I just can't pick which game is better lol

[metaking20]

Ahhh...that shmup...^^

[Leekduck]

GIANT, GENDER CONFUSED ROBOTS

[KirovMasterEnke]

IWBTG xDDDD

[RahNinjaBlade]

EPIC BOSS FIGHT MUSIC! :D

[FyJproductions]

LOL , DIE MECHA BIRDO xD

nice song xD

[PoptartsForBrains]

Ikaruga, awesome and very timeless game <3 And... While I do feel Mecha Birdo was too easy for this theme... You also have to hand it to the maker of IWBTG, they picked some awesome music, not just this theme, but all the tracks through the game.

[elxnaxox12]

I WANNA DEFEAT MECHA BIRDO!

[FyJproductions]

LOOL , ME TO ! xD

[keino5177]

One of the most original and fantastic games I've ever played, plus the music is awesome.

[RandomTask678]

Hmmm, finals are coming up. I need this playing in the background and that would be awesome. DIE AP CHEM FINAL DIE!!!

[RectorRocks]

Fight Mecha Birdo in IWBTG!

[fastorama]

This Music is perfect for Battle sequences and epic rescues!!!

[kitsunade]

this game is just a matter of repitition. like when you first play you will get utterly destroyed but as you keep playing more and memorizing it, it becomes much easier. i can do the 1-3 missions without dying thats after plenty of times playing it

[bohottie]

That's what mostly all top down and side scroller shooters are. Occasionally enemies do something you don't expect and that is what separates the sxilled players from t3h ones who simply memorized the patterns.

[kitsunade]

i mean the first time i played i got all the way to the 4th lvl so i dont know if it has anything to do with skill but everytime i played i kept getting better. the only thing i have trouble with now is the turning satillite thing on the 4th lvl i can almost get through without dying

[bohottie]

I've honestly never played this game, but it's definitely on my list. I had Contra SS for the PS2 in mind. I remember how I used to be absolutely terrible, but now I can get through without ever getting touched. The enemies have set patterns and I usually know what they're going to do, but sometimes I get killed because something doesn't do what it normally does....so I guess in a way that it's just a bit more than sheer memorization.

[kitsunade]

true i the only enemies i expect no set pattern from ar the bosses and the mini bosses. all the smaller enemies are usually predictable

[Reaper796]

i listen to this when i feel like i need kick-ass stuff in me lmao

[angelwriter360]

hers an idea: BUY THE DAMN GAME AND STOP WHINING!

[DementedWish]

Holy fuck this is amazing.

[Reaper796]

This music i first heard from iwbtg and i didnt know about this until i got told lol

[NickThaHitman]

epic music!

[dcarrion21]

One of the best boss themes ever.

[superdragon4ever]

It's an independent game that is notorious for its difficutly. During one of the boss fights named Mecha Birdo, this song plays.

[KyuuA4]

Ikaruga for $70 new @ Amazon... WTF. XD

[RipYourSpineOut]

Damn, I love how hard hitting the introduction of this song is. It's like the moment that first note hits, shit gets REAL!

[burnoutpro15]

@RipYourSpineOut DAMN RIGHT!

[jaddasbranch]

@RipYourSpineOut You could not have put the feel of this song into better words. I applaud you. :D

[superdragon4ever]

I feel bad for this song and Ikaruga. It's a great song, and whenever most people here it, they think its from i wanna be the guy.

[TARINunit9]

Well, Kayin knew it was from Ikaruga because he was the one who put it in IWBTG

And I knew it was from SOMETHING when I first heard it

[Ponicalica]

@TARINunit9 Every single song in that game is a ripoff. (The death music is from Guilty Gear)

[TARINunit9]

It's not ripped off; it's ripped. There's a differance. Ripped means it was taken directly, ripped off means a second rate "tribute" was made.

But your point is still valid. He didn't want to use his own music beacuase he wanted to keep things nostalgic.

[kkac12]

@superdragon4ever When was actually "I wanna be the guy" showed?I know when Ikaruga showed up. 2001 on Dreamcast and early.

[IidoTheEevee]

Mecha Birdo is too un-epic and easy for this theme.

It belongs to Ikaruga!

[sonytendosoft]

Those Japanese really know how to make game music

[Serperoth]

I've never played Ikaruga but I have seen it... AND IT IS GOOD DAMMIT!!!

[misterchief92]

Im sad that half of the comments(or more) are of IBTG.I personally think Ikaruga is much more memorable

[slimmyguy7]

I understand the pain, because they could go and comment on the IWBTG music - Mecha-Birdo in the related videos.

[kakarottossj3]

yeah your right

[rawlph2]

let them be ignorant, the music is from ikaruga, and whether or not they know it is, it remains a great piece of music- not to mention the game itself!

[Superlodahl]

This tune is for Ikaruga..and for Ikaruga alone! :)

[Evan20000]

I agree.

Besides, Mecha Birdo isn't that hard anyway. >_>

[KrisRandomHero]

not if you play it for the first time, youll diffenitly remember that... I would know. Ikaruga was deffinitly a great game no doubt but cant blame them

[VenomousWoe]

@misterchief92 I wouldn't call one more memorable than the other. Sure, Ikaruga is more original, but IWBTG had one hell of a sense of humor.

[kattmataren]

@misterchief92 It's not as easily accessible though :(

[panoramix125]

epic.

[agiar2000]

WARNING

The big enemy is approaching at full throttle.

According to the data, it is identified as "Mecha-Birdo."

-NO REFUGE-

[Killagoose77]

Known for the I wanna be the guy boss fight.

I still remember fighting this guy. His third phase was always one to kill me.

[slimmyguy7]

You know, there's more comments relating to I wanna be the Guy than Ikaruga. Kind of weird...

[KentF0]

More sad than weird, I'd say.

[slimmyguy7]

Yeah...

[YRWEGAY]

or B just shows how underplayed ikaruga was really. decides wen it comes to rememberin stuff u would prob remember a giant metal fucker over a ship

[ilovemadnesscombat]

ffffuuu- this track is so epic! I wanted to download it right when I heard it for the first time. now the file is unavailabe on khinsider :'(

could you fix that for us? pretty please? :P

[KostiTG]

Use Free YouTube To MP3 Converter.

[Muzozavr]

Die in hell Mecha Birdo. Never EVER could pass the third phase...

[TomAto1981]

xD i feel ya

[sjamsjam]

.that theme was the only thing that kept me going against mecha birdo lol..

[northerndog12]

Reminds me of Mecha Birdo, who compared to other bosses, wasn't that bad.

[BlackVice80]

really epic theme

[FF7ACJW]

There's an orchestrated version by Aojiro. It's even more epic!

[Qtheman3456]

*shudders* Memories of IWBTG... coming back... to haunt me...

oh well still an epic song

[IceVallejo]

Epic...

[crazythemetroidfan]

nice fighting music

[Evan20000]

My thoughts exactly.

Although, I don't mind since M-B was pretty easy imo. On the other hand I never want to hear Draculas music again >.>

[Forest1272]

I hear ya man. I did have a bit of trouble on Mecha Birdo but not nearly as much as Dracula and The Guy. Still.

I haven't played SMB2 since.

[Evan20000]

Dracula and The Guy were... lets not talk about it. >.>

Mother Brain was pretty annoying as well.

[TerryOsaka]

I thought Dracula was pretty easy, Mother Brain was a lot harder.

[Evan20000]

Depends on the version. Are you playing against V. 1.0 dracula?

[Ammit5]

Dracula, it all depends on whether he uses the homing fruit attack. However, I found it a lot easier when I used the slow-mo version and had 4 youtube videos up at the same time =D

[Evan20000]

The homing fruit attak is designed to make you panic. Just stay calm and jump over it and you'll be fine.

[Parry765]

I don't know why but Mecha Birdo is giving me a lot of trouble. I mean I died maybe ten times against Tyson, but this Birdo has kept me held up for months.

[sodra9000]

i beat IWBTG...hard...MB is still my fav tho

[pentherapy]

Really? Mecha Birdo is the only boss so far that I beat relatively easily. I was stuck on Tyson for MONTHS, and I've tried Bowser maybe 50 times. I STILL can't beat him.

[Ammit5]

Atually, the homing fruit attack is nearly impossible to avoid when you have the ectoplasm and one of his random attacks also coming at you at the same time.
