"Unlike typical “coming of age” journeys that Fire Emblem protagonists tend to undergo, Hector’s is coming to terms with who he is, and what the world needs him to be. Hector’s character development is literally nothing I have ever seen before in Fire Emblem, and even 15 years of FE afterwards, no lord has a similar journey. For the reasons I’m about to explain, Hector surpassed Eliwood for my favorite lord in the series, and I’ve never been more excited to explain why."

FE7 is a game where the generic *Village Maiden, * Rebecca, has a personal mystery and quest to fight in the army. She matures enough to be entrusted by royalty as caretaker at the end of her journey. The game is character driven alright.

[Hawlo]

As far as I can tell, in the fandom Hector is more popular for how useful he is in the game than for his character.

Did support science just reach... S rank?

animations, voice acting, well thought out analysis, viewer inclusion, so many things, even compared to the last support science, the quality keeps getting better. I feel bad that I watched this without actually paying for it.

[eclipse]

Man, that Jaffar Voice Acting is top notch...10/10.

[JimBurly]

Hector is the true image of masculinity. NOT TOXIC MASCULINITY. Just true masculinity.

[JoeyLikesFish]

The voice acting in this episode is actually amazing! I'm suprised how top-notch every part of this series is.

This video is fantastic, Ghast. You’ve outdone yourself. What I love about Hector is that he seems to represent the idea of manliness today. Men aren’t supposed to cry, they’re supposed to be strong and resilient. They’re supposed to step up when no one else will, and be protectors. Otherwise they’re seen as weak. Hector is the embodiment of manliness, which makes him relatable to several of us guys in the community.

I’d love to see a video on Ephraim on your take of his actions, and how most people see him as a Gary Stu due to his skill. It’d be nice to see someone explain how if Ephraim hadn’t stood up and succeeded, he would’ve failed his father, the one thing he refuses to do again which he brings up in his new Heroes alt’s Lvl. 40 conversation.

Once again, AMAZING video Ghast. Each one gets better and better. Remember that on your journey, together we will ride.

People who complain about FE7’s writing, while their complaints aren’t unfounded, they also miss some of the deeper interpersonal connections that this game thrives on. Heck, I even used the Oswin/Hector/Uther loyalty conflict as part of a college paper analyzing fictional Prima Facie Duty conflicts.

Great video, Ghast. Your editing has also SKYROCKETED in ability recently! All the hard work is paying off I’d say!

[Scazura]

I have to admit, I always kind of overlooked Hector due to his popularity and sort of passed him off as how he was presented. He wasn't my favorite lord, but he definitely wasn't my least favorite.
This video showed me that you honestly can't take everything at face value.
I dunno how you keep doing it, but every Support Science I learn more about a character I thought I knew everything about.
Thanks dude. This video was absolutely amazing. Hector's definitely risen up on my list of favorite characters just in general.
And please, keep this series up. It doesn't matter who's next, it'll be a treat just to learn more about them.

[Neogears]

Shoutout to the woman doing voice direction. She did such an amazing job I’d be disappointed to learn she was anything less than a professional.

[astralm]

THANK YOU for this. Hector is a great character, but people seem to essentially love an action-hero caricature of him.

[blackdog]

Y'all think if Brave Hector and Brave Ephraim switched weapons, Hector would call his new axe





*Garmads*

[Noelle-M]

This has been the most somber Support Science yet. Hector’s story is a touching and emotional tale that any Fire Emblem fan should know. Thank you for this special episode, and as Hector would say, “Oho”.

[thewindysage]

Maybe it is pretty obvious but I think the weapons he uses throughout the game kind of hint his colours
He starts with axes, powerful but innacurate, him at the start of the game blindly running off to eliwood's side I search of adventure and battle
But then he is entangled in real problems he is not equipped to deal with, forced to grow
Upon promotion he gains access to swords
This can be quite strange as first as swords don't seem like Hector's style at all
But they are there to represent his weaknesses and how he overcomes them
They are weapons of greater accuracy but lesser power
Him finally realising he can't go through life smashing things, he needs to actually consider everything around him
This is something that was on the back of his mind from the beginning, judging from his conversation with eliwood about him helping Uther
He is merely coming to terms with that although rather brashly as he doesn't stab with them in-game
The armored status he gains when promoting is merely a title one
He was already stronger than the ostian knights but now he has to also accept the true responsibility of the armor
Later in fe6 he becomes a full fledged general of Ostia ready to be Lycia's proper shield
He changes swords for lances although my headcannon wants to say that he is more akin to fe8 generals with full weapon triangle, surpassing his own military to become the symbol Ostia needs

First of all THAT VOICE ACTING THOOO. SO GOOD!!~~ I NEED MORE.

Second, this aches to watch with school inching closer. College is rough. Writing my own characters and world, I think about the struggles I face daily and what my favorite characters from this series go through, and I hope it reflects well in my own work. I want to be remembered and surrounded by my loved ones when I go. I want my work to live on for me so I'm not forgotten. Even if it isn't received as well, or doesn't do as great as other creators, I want it to find its following and live on for me. It might sound cheesy but I want to leave a fire that doesn't go out. Might be a bit of a tangent but suffice it to say I think your work does this very well. I want my work to be analyzed like this one day. Keep it up, I can't wait to see more! I'll keep coming back to these to remind myself why I keep going through college. I have a lot of people I wanna see on here next but I'll leave it to you to decide.

Buuuut, if I could suggest, maybe do one on Marth? I would love to see an Eliwood Vindication style video on the Hero King. With however many games he appears in, there's plenty to pull from.

[JosephHk]

This was such an impactful Support Science that’s it’s now my favorite one of all time. It made me feel a bit emotional.

You do such amazing videos Ghast. Keep it up!

[nikkictu]

VOICE ACTING?! Bitch, I'm so shook. Hopefully this keeps being a thing cuz it all was so amazing. Eliwood's VA actually sounded a lot like Yuri Lowenthal. How do you always manage to one-up yourself, Ghast?
