- 1:23Soul and Zuo Shang duel in the rain in a flashback.
- 4:29A sparring match teaches combos, parries, guard breaks and dodges.

AfroSenju XL checks the difficulty menu, selects Hellwalker and offers his credentials: "I could do anything, bro. I beat Elden Ring, I beat Dark Souls 3..." Phantom Blade Zero is getting the full confidence treatment, at least before the fighting starts.
"Elden Ring Pro Plays Phantom Blade Zero" was the week's most-watched new upload. Its opening moves from Soul and Zuo Shang's rain-soaked duel into lessons in combos, parries and guard breaks. Before long, AfroSenju XL is pausing a battle to sort out settings and controller mappings. Confidence is useful; knowing the buttons helps too.
One particularly telling choice comes later: he keeps the game's music rather than replacing it with his own, saying that muting it would be a disservice. In the comments, viewers offer graphics-setting fixes and discuss the freedom to play whatever holds his attention, rather than treating every unfinished series as an obligation.
The follow-up, "Phantom Blade Zero Is Harder Than Sekiro", is attracting the most daily viewing right now. That title comes with a wink: his description admits he enjoys rage baiting and could be wrong. "PHANTOM BLADE ZERO IS PEAK" then makes his enthusiasm considerably less ambiguous.
Away from the swords, "AFTER 5 YEARS.. NARUTO Blazing IS FINALLY Back (2026)" revisits a game he says Naruto Blazing Revival has brought back. It's a familiar corner of a channel whose enduring hits include Naruto battles and reactions alongside Elden Ring.
Subscribers held steady, while daily viewing is running above its usual level. Among nearby gaming channels, Scott The Woz is also enjoying elevated viewing; Modest Pelican and DidYouKnowGaming are quieter than usual. For AfroSenju XL, the week's fresh momentum belongs squarely to Phantom Blade Zero.

@AbysmalArtistSee it on YouTubeJust you know Ultra Performance is the opposite of what you want, it's meant to boost performance by lower the graphics when needed. Flip it the opposite way
