Fate/Zero: Iskandar Theme | EPIC VERSION (You Are My King x Rule The Battlefield) (2025)

Who is your favorite Servant?

A man whose Noble Phantasm is literally "The friends you made along the way"

I find Fate Zero's Iskandar to be the best representation of Alexander the Great in pop culture. They perfectly captured his extravagance, his charisma, how he stood far above any standards to the ancients.

"To win, but not destroy to conquer, but not humiliate That is what true conquest is!"
Iskandar

"BEHOLD, MY PEERLESS ARMY, Their bodies may return to ash, but their spirits still hear my call!
These men are my legendary heroes - my loyal followers! They’re my true friends - breaking the rules of space and time to fight once more at my side.
They are my treasure within treasures; they’re my right to rule! They make up Iskandar's mightiest Noble Phantasm - Ionian Hetairoi!!".

“Live, Waver. See all this through to the end, and when it is done, speak of it, of your king, and of the charge of Iskandar!”

Yessssss.. finally.. the king of kings... The king of conquest ISKANDAR. A man worthy of Gilgamesh's respect... My favourite character... Can't wait

"A king must live a life more vivid than any other and be figure for all to admire! The king is the one who collects the envy of all his heroes and stands as their guide! Therefore, the king is not alone! For his will equals that of all his followers combined!"
-Iskandar the great

“Your loyalty is splendid! Never allow anything to tarnish it.”

Like someone already said in a random video I saw :
"Saber took the hearts of fanboys.
Gilgamesh took the hearts of fangirls.
But us fellas, gave our entire heart to
Iskandar, the King of Conquerors."

"There is nothing impossible to him who will try." - Alexander the Great

Now lets just take a minute to appreciate how Samuel Kim has never click baited us

"Glory lies beyond the horizon.
Challenge it because it is unreachable."

Who wants Samuel to make Emiya theme epic version

Iskandar was hands down the most inspiring character Zero had on offer. The way he schooled Artoria on what it truly meant to be a king, to the moment he summoned his endless armies. He was a bro to Waver til the end. 🥲

What I love about this guy is that he was the strongest and biggest and he was paired with the smallest and weakest of all the mages and taught that boy to stand tall on his own two feet.

I really like how instead of combining just "You are my King" and "Rule the Battlefield" as the title suggested, you went ahead and combined ALL the Iskander related themes, even the memorable yet difficult to find "The Stars are to Fall Down", which was only available in the special F/Z soundtrack released in 2017. Very well done!

When you look at Fate's version of Gilgamesh and Iskandar(Alexander the Great) and compare them to their historical inspirations, You'll realize that their bodies were essentially swapped.

Iskandar is by far and away the best character in the series, at first you just think he’s this knuckleheaded loudmouth douche but slowly he starts showing his true self and earns every bodies respect from people who don’t like him like waver to people who don’t like anybody like gilgemesh to people he outright insulted to their face like Artoria to even the viewer and by the end you realize why all of those millions of people follow him to battle and why he earned the title of Alexander the Great, genius writing

The king does not make sacrifices... the nation and the people sacrifice themselves for the king, not the other way around »
..
“The king... he must be more greedy than anyone else... he must laugh as loudly and be violent... he must set an example of the end of all things, including good and evil.
- Iskandar, the king of conquerors .

"Here, my armies once rode across the land. The place all the heroes who stood with me, through joy and sorrow, will never forget. I can make this world real because it still exists within our hearts! Behold my endless armies! Their bodies destroyed, and their souls offered to the world as Heroic Spirits. And still, these legendary heroes pledge their loyalty to me! My bond with them is my greatest treasure, my path of kingship! The ultimate Noble Phantasm that I, Iskandar, possess. Ionian Hetairoi!"
Rider/Iskandar, the King of Conquest.

I know you’re doing fate/zero, but I can’t wait for Emiya UBW theme

Still my favorite to this day. Personality, charm, power, he had it all. Imagine if Waver came back and Iskandar became his servant again 😍 I'd bust 😫

"Glory lies beyond the horizon. Challenge it because it is unreachable. Speak of conquest and demonstrate it."

Teared in pure excitement as Iskander uses his Noble Phantasm for the first time.

When your noble phantasm is an army of chads and your great acomplishment on the story is turning your virgin master into a chad.

GLORY LIES BEYOND THE HORIZON…this theme is the meaning of true conquest

I have never watched any Fate series. But listening to this makes me want to pledge loyalty to Iskander and join him glorious conquest.

Several years ago, I made a 10min mix that combined the different soundtracks and uploaded it onto youtube on a seperate channel. My goal was to make it as seamless as possible between the transitions because I had noticed how well the music in fate flow into one another so effortlessly. I wanted to honor the servant that I could see myself calling them a king. I wanted to honor his charge, and his journey. Recently, that youtube video got taken down, understandably, for copyright. I still have my download version on my phone, but I do most of my music listening on youtube, and I must say you did an exceptional job carrying the weight and the themes that underline Iskandar's feel that composor sought after. I love how you transitioned between things, and it was just refreshing to finally hear an even better vision of what I had once. I thought it was phenomenal.

No matter who ur favourite servant might be you all know this guy conquered our respects for sure and arguably the most respected servant among other servants

Music genres like this deserve more attention and recognition

"I can make this world as real as real can EVER be, because it still exists deep within our hearts!"

YES!!! I'm so glad you are doing more Fate music

One of the best anime characters of all time. This man was a true leader and an inspiration to so many, not only within the universe of fate but also within our harts. Reach for the dreams behind the horizon and never give up.

*Live, Waver.. See all of this to the end... And when it is done, speak of it... of your King..... of the Charge of Iskandar!*

Bless him, O Lord. You're a genius, pure and simple. I've known you since you made an animation remix version of 'Attack on Titan'. Your musical sense is the best! The sense of finding the right music and connecting it to the right place is admirable. Thank you so much for remixing "you are my king"!

Please do "The Battle is to The Strong" next! :)

Please make "The Battle is to the strong", or "EMIYA theme" next!

Oh man that hit at 2:00
I've been waiting for this moment!

One of my favorite characters from the Fate series, he embodies what a real king/conqueror should be

You’ll have to make an EPIC VERSION of the Kamino theme returning in The Bad Batch now im so hyped!

Washing the dishes has never been a more amazing conquest for me than ever listening to this.

THANK YOU SAMUEL! this video might not have as much views compared to your covers but we fate fans love them so much! The theme for the king of Conquerors is really underappreciated as well, its really epic and it even appeared in another show during a feels train moment with waver. Really hope you will do more fate covers in the future! Theres so many epic fate tracks, emiya's theme, the four rings, absolute demonic front...no matter which you pick, no doubt it'll be a banger!

"I am Iskandar, King of Conquerors! With the swing of my sword I declare my supremacy!"

I don't care what they say in historical books about iskandar , for me this is the true story of The great Conquerer

Can't believe you really made this, I recommended it last time. Made my day

Damm would really like to hear some medival versions of some of these fate themes!

While you can’t improve on Yuki Kajura’s perfection. THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY GREAT. KEEP THEM COMING SIR.

Oh man, Iskandar is one of the best characters in the Fate universe imho. Love this :)

Live waver
See all of this to the end
And when it is done, Speak of it
Of your king....
Of the charge of Iskandar!

Yes yes yes!!! I love this soundtrack soo much!!!
Cannot wait to hear this cover!
Edit: It's my newest favorite of your work! Amazingly done!

This is such a wonderful work of art! I really love it. And the music, it's perfect and amazing!

THANK.YOU.SO.MUCH
Loved the entire track -beffitingly epic-, but that ending part holds a special place in my heart. Bravo, good sir.

What a hell of a intro for covering Fate. Covering the best servant right off the bat. Magnificent work as always. Perhaps you could cover tracks from the Fate Gate of Avalon album.

Every damn moment Iskandar was on screen was amazing! Personally I loved how when he found Casters “workshop” he told Weaver not to look. I let that Iskandar at that moment felt that Caster had to die not only to win the war but to stop that slaughter of innocents

最初の辺りでの満天のフレーズから好きですね。
元が梶浦だからかグリーンスリーブスのアレンジのまどマギでいうさやかのテーマ(Decretum)を壮大にアレンジしたような感じからのYou Are My kingの盛り上がりは素晴らしい！

Brooo imagine if you did "This day, and never again"
One of the most emotional and peerless pieces in the F/Z soundtrack!

Iskandar was one of those servants that it's impossible not to like him. He is one of my favorite servants, others being Astolfo, Ushiwaka, and Ishtar

My goosebumps had goosebumps! This was soooooooooooooooooo freaking good.

Fate/Zero has some of my favorite anime music! Great job with this track and I hope we get more!!

Iskander. One of the very few to ever make gilgamesh use all three of his noble phantasms on. The gates of babylon, chains, and ea.

Iskandar: Behold! My Noble Phantasm...
Unlimited Bro Works!

1:29 literally gave me CHILLS

This is the video that got me to subscribe, I love coming back to it and reading the comments, one of the best RUclips experiences for me

Another masterpiece that goes straight into my heart 🙏🏻💙

Yes... My favorite producer uploaded. Thanks for being my inspiration with your Star Wars OST

Absolutely love the "Manten" melody in the beginning.

YES YES more fate soundtrack covered by samuel kim YEESSS

Love you, Rider, you're always the heart of my life, and you're my absolute bro!

原曲はもちろん好きだけど、こっちも凄く感動しました！！

I really hope Iskandar gets crazy buff like Artoria someday.

This music is just what i needed. Thank you❤

King Iskandar the most charismatic well written leader along with Erwin smith and Griffith pre-eclipse

more of these lets go KIM
I LOVE THE FATE/ZERO SERIES!
if u ever move onto fate/stay night id love an emiya theme!
keep it up, defo my favourite music producer on RUclips

This is my King the very man and hero I was named after. I am Alexander and I am proud to share a name of greatness with the King of Conquerors!!!! Though I cannot conquer lands or kingdoms. I can conquer my future, my pain, my past, and all adversity that stands in my way!

This is amazing!!! Can’t wait to see what you can do with the EMIYA theme!!

Peak representation of the power of friendship.

I just watched fate zero a few days ago, and was completely tooken with rider and waver , but couldn't find almost anything related to them afterwards (sucks) so its ironic you posted this skjkk. I need more iskandar.

An even more epic version of “let the stars fall down” would be awesome!

"while their bodies may turn to ash their spirit remains unbreakable as they transcend the heavens to return to fight by my side, they are my best friends, we shall not falter NOBLE PHANTASM"

Selalu bikin merinding 🥶

Oooooooooooooo Boi, Iskandar was such an inspiring character. Good work brother

A cover of “This Day, and Never Again” would go hard! 🤩🙌

彼の人となりが分かる、いいアレンジだ😃

Ain't going to lie here, pretty much this whole piece I five the best 21st Military Salute I possibly can as a damn civilian, and urge my King to fight on! "To win, but not to destroy; to conquer, but not to humiliate: That is what true conquest is!!@

"I wish to live as Flesh and Blood. Within this world in which i find Myself and with nothing but my body i shall defy both Heaven and Earth THAT is what true Conquest is..."
-Askandar (King Of Conquerers)

遠征は終わらぬ
我らが胸に彼方への野心ある限り
勝鬨をあげよ！「王の軍勢」

the best video of this channel

Iskandar, he was my favourite in Zero, was very upset after his run in with Gilgamesh.

Amazing version!

Petition for Samuel Kim to make bleach soundtrack epic versions

I like how we hear some Sword Art Online parts because it's from the same composer 1:20 3:14

0:57 OH YESS
1:09 okayyyy let’s goooo
1:30 HELLO MANLY TEARS
2:00 OMGGG I SALUTE FATE F** ZERO!
2:27 WAIT WHAT *throws desk*
Edit: 4:05 🥲

Not sure if you’ll see this but even ppl that weren’t huge fans of legend of Korra would agree the song Jinora's Light was really epic. And only you could bring it to life in a new and epic way.

If you could do "The Four Rings" from Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Feel III I would die happy (It's the most epic soundtrack of all time).

YESSS! THANK YOU!!

Iskander made me very sad at last 😭😭😭.i only pray for 2 lifes to stay in peace one is saber and other is iskhander 😭

Finally Samuel Kim's NP has been Released

The theme of a true king
A king is nothing without a kingdom
but a true king, is his kingdom and lives for and besides his people.
Also am I the only one who wishes Fate had done some norse figures like Ragnar Lothbrok? A 'True' berserker? As the term berserker comes form the norse. Imagine how cool a 'true' berserker could be, Ragnar Lothbrok would be one of the many Norse Heroic spirits with that status.
All other berserkers are mere immitations. Only the norse would hold the true meaning.

O MY GOD!!!!! THIS SONG YOU'RE A GOD!!!!!! CAN'T WAIT!
