I finished Sekiro for the first time in 2024 and it became one of my favorite games ever. When I heard this song, I immediately thought that it would be very fun to combine it with Sekiro. I hope that this little tribute entertains you and inspires some of you to give this awesome game a try. It may look and act tough, but beneath the stoic demeanor it hides an endearingly goofy personality and an incredibly cool – and sometimes even hilarious – experience. Hope you enjoy, and remember: "Hesitation is defeat."

В 2024-ом году впервые прошла Секиро, которая стала одной из моих любимых игр. Когда услышала эту песню, сразу же подумала, что может выйти веселая штука. В итоге получился такой вот трибьют. Несмотря на суровый вид игры, а так же всеобщие завывания о ее сложности, это на самом деле очень крутое, динамичное и, местами, весьма комичное путешествие. Так что надеюсь, что клип сумеет развлечь и вызвать интерес к первоисточнику. Приятного просмотра и помните: "Колебаться — значит проиграть".

I had the chance to participate in the Battle Arena organized by Soul's Team this year, so for the occasion, we're bringing out the cars, some serious tuning, and a VHS overlay for a JDM-style edit!
It was a great chance to experiment with Blender —this is the first time I’ve put out anime/3D hybrid footage, and it was pretty fun to make (less so to render…).

Hope you enjoy it, and see you next time!
