QuestWithAaron | What Actually Happens to Demise at the End of Skyward Sword Explained @QuestWithAaron | Uploaded 3 months ago | Updated 3 hours ago
In "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword," the fate of the entity known as Demise holds profound significance, particularly due to the abundance of Japanese terms with deep underlying nuances and meanings used by the Demon King during the game's climax. Following a fierce battle with Link, Demise appears to be sealed away by the Master Sword. However, the nature of this sealing is far more complex and intriguing, adding depth to both the game's narrative and the broader series' lore.
At the heart of the discussion lies an analysis of the Japanese word that encapsulates the concept of Demise's "residual consciousness." This term explores the residual essence of Demise's being that remains even after his apparent defeat. We also examine the title used to describe Demise himself, "終焉の者" (shuuen no mono), which carries profound connotations of finality and closure.
This video serves as an introductory exploration of a much larger and more complex topic, laying the groundwork for a sequel that discusses a bunch of new Japanese terms I have never covered on the channel before.
As usual, all Japanese translations presented in the video have been researched and provided by me. Different translators may offer alternative interpretations, especially given the complexities inherent in translating such nuanced text!
For those interested in further reading, I've included some references that informed my research and analysis for this video:
