EVERY Cassette Beast EXPLAINED! 🖭

Djinn Entonic also has my favorite description in the game: " A mysterious cosmic waiter with impeccable table service. It isn’t entirely clear what kind of drinks they serve, only that they are “family-friendly” and “not affecting the age rating of the game". "

Fun fact: if you complete a beast to 5 stars. It actually gives you the etymology and idea in the beastiary

I’m pretty sure “Clocksley” is referencing “Locksley,” the place Robin Hood is from; “Robin of Locksley” Also, fun fact: Aleph is used in math as a sign of infinite series. Aleph Null means the first infinite series, the smallest infinity

Fun fact about Draculeaf: There is a bizarre myth of a bloodthirsty pumpkin appropriately called the Vampire Pumpkin who is related to the Vampire Watermelon.

One you missed on Kirikuri: It's literally a Karakuri, or an old timey Japanese "robot" of sorts made of wood. Also Queenyx could be made of Onyx which is a material sometimes used for chess pieces.

I'm so glad this game has been getting the attention it deserves. There is so much love and charm put into it and they're still making content for it. More Pokemon-like games deserve recognition just as much as it.

I love that he released this THE DAY the DLC came out. also the "kun" in Kuneko could be referring to her Kunai.

“Aleph Null” is also a concept in modern mathematics, specifically “the smallest of all infinities”, with the next smallest being “Aleph One”. (Yes; some infinities are bigger than others.) So Aleph Null being a fusion of most the other archangels comes acrossed as an attempt at infinite power.

The Fragliacci one was a bit bastardized... but otherwise, great work! Fragliacci is meant to be a portmanteau of frag (in the sense of explosives and cannons, its body IS a cannon) and Pagliacci (an italian opera about a clown who murders his wife and her lover on stage.) Great video! Glad to see this game getting some more attention!

12:13 I think Apocrolypse could also have ties to the Nuckelavee, an evil harbinger of death and disease in Scottish folklore that takes the form of a skinless horse with an also skinless human torso attatched to its back, emerging from the sea to bring pain and strife to all

I like how cassette beasts have different design philosophies from pokemon, which makes it stand out. It reminds me of how Digimon can just evolve into very different but still simmilar monsters

First, absolutely love that you're covering this game, absolutely having a blast with it myself Second, about Clocksley, I believe the reason for the "sley", along with a reason for the name as a whole, is due to one of the many epithets of Robin Hood being Robin of Loxley (also spelled Locksley), with the village of Loxley in Sheffield UK being claimed as the birthplace of Robin Hood (even if this is somewhat disputed sometimes).

"Lenna isn't really an Archangel" Did you finish Lenna's Inception? Because the twist towards the end is the reveal that not only is she really an Archangel, she is the mother of that universe's Archangels. She even talks about it a bit in her encounter, and how she specifically got a ride from the Amber Lodge.

I absolutely LOVE that all the Archangels have a different art style, none if them looking like they fit with the rest of the normal monsters is such an awesome idea. it kind of reminds me of the Ultra Beasts from Sun and Moon

I really like how, unlike a lot of other Poke-Likes, this game seems to understand that not every creature needs to be cute or cool to be lovable. There's some downright weird ones that makes you scratch your head on how the hell they came up with it, and that's what makes these creature designs stand out and be as charming as they are.

Nowhere Monarch is also pretty clearly a Beetles reference. Its name references the song "nowhere man" and its artstyle is based on the one used in the Yellow Submarine movie.

I'd really love to see a "Every Vivosaur Explained" video at some point. The Fossil Fighters franchise doesn't see enough love these days, and as one of the more successful Poke-likes, the people deserve it!

I love the intense theming of paradoxes, surrealism, nostalgia, and moving on present throughout CB. Especially how Morgante is the archangel of rebellion, and at one time assisted Aleph in causing trouble. Rebellions leading to a new status quo that committed the same mistakes as what came before it. Yet the whole point of Morgante rebelling against Aleph is finding union and harmony in each other and the empathy you show each other along the way. Leading to a point where conquering takes a backseat and all that remains is peace and empathy.

Aleph Null is also a mathematical term; it's literally the version of infinity that most people think of when they hear "infinity", a number representing the set of all positive numbers.

I've never heard of these but looking forward to learning about them. You probably get this request a bunch but would love to see a vid where you breakdown some of the Digimon names/origins.
