Yone yelling "KURO'SAGOL" while finishing that demon is pure eargasm.
it will be very disappointing if it doesn't make it to live servers
huge missed opportunity...
Riot can either add it as a new voice line OR They can just make sure yone Always YELLS "KURO'SAGOL" During ult and says his current ult voice lines after finishing his ult.
Like: him yelling "KURO'SAGOL" During slash Then Saying "nothing Personal" second later
this is too epic to not make it into the game
External link →Hey there - Yone's VA. Like you said, learning an Azakana's name is how Yone can conquer a demon, but I'm not sure Kuro'sagol is actually this Azakana's name... I could be totally wrong, but I think that was included in my script when recording for the game, and I didn't have a lot of those... I don't remember having a list of names I have to utter for every demon Yone kills. Which is why I'm pretty sure I remember this being a kiai - the battle cry he shouts when he does this move. But I could be totally wrong! I'll look into it and get back to you!
Writer here: sorry to be the rain on the parade, but that is indeed the name of the Azakana. 😅
In writing his in game Vo, during early exploration, we had considered him calling out various azakana names when he had a kill, but it didn’t make it in since it would be difficult to execute in a way that read well. (It’s hard to have a quiet moment for a mask to float from a dead body to him etc)
Writer here: it is indeed the demon’s name. Glad folks liked the word, and really, Noshir (voice actor) just crushed its delivery here and made it so badass.
In game, Yone’s “Ionian” lines were largely contained to his Q to mirror Yasuo, since they both know moves and techniques from the same wind school. Because Yone’s ult draws from his new demon mask powers, we ended up cutting the Ionian callouts to make room for other lines.
OHHHHHHH AND I’M WRONG AGAIN! Hahaha! Thanks for letting us know!
We had so many lines in so many different game and cinematic contexts, for you and so many made up words, I was constantly impressed how natural and familiar and GOOD you made them all sound!
