After a 2 year long hiatus, I’m finally sharing the full story of Rakunx - an almost 2 hour long commentary of the beginnings, the setbacks, the wins, the Bayonetta 3 voice actor controversy, community “drama,” and what’s next for the channel. This video covers my journey as a Bayonetta Content Creator, the challenges I faced, and my plans for the future of content on YouTube.

To not stir anything up (I've addressed this multiple times throughout the video) if you've done anything wrong to me, dragged my name in the mud, accused me of false things; we're good, at least on my end lol - I just wanted a first and last outlet which told my side of the story. Honestly, I think I needed them to really reflect. Regardless of all that happened, I'm putting it behind all of us, to forgive, bury the hatchet, and start over, and probably even meet with everyone that loves this franchise.

Oh yeah, and I'll show you a (very quick) sneak peak of the next Bayonetta 3 video in this, so... Enjoy! :)
