1:16 is it seriously so hard to think that theyre just like, best friends?

I just also wanted to say! In omori’s sketch book there’s a drawing of him in the bath. His clothes are hanging on the clothes line. Wanna know another peice of clothing on that clothes line? A bra. Or atleast from what I can tell :] (Sorry for my bluntness idk how to phrase this XD)

I think I'll try using it as a headcanon for a bit, to see if I wanna use it. .>.

I wish for a transfem sunny analysis video now so bad

Very cool

YES OMG THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD I love elevator hitch might be one of my favorite games ever- ( dispite the fact that I’ve only watched people play it and never actually myself😅) Also you are very underrated :( I’m about to go watch all your other videos bye bye :)

Underrated channel talking about a underrated game? Such shame that no one clicked ! Might this video (And this channel too) blow up in the near future?

so underrated I've actually barely thought about floor 6 before seeing this video, and this shows me how interesting it is (and the implications of it) i love this video so much (and it was a jumpscare checking your channel and seeing you make the trans sunny video which i loved!!) edit: the end is so true, Studio Investigrave's games are severely underappreciated. I've been looking to do an analysis on floor 8, the doppelgängers, and the fear of replacement and/or fear of infinity as a whole at somepoint in the future (just busy with other stuff), there are so many things in their games that should be explored and analyzed more amazing vid!!

Thanks for the video!

AGH, INCREDIBLE ! Floor 6 was always a favorite of mine so seeing someone put thought and effort into an analysis for it makes me really happy. I never even really thought about or noticed some of the points you made here, it's awesome how attentive you are. Lovely work :]

damn what a great dead plate video - no.1 dead plate fan/goofin either way this is such a good video and im eating up thank you very much

I SAW THIS ON TUMBLR AND NOW I WANNA WORK ON MY VIDEO ESAAY AHAHAHA this was the best analysis I've seen!!

I really want Don’t Forget to be the player’s theme but it’s gotta be Kris’s, good breakdown btw

It's so sad how this video is receiving so many bad faith comments on how you and others are somehow "forcing" people into believing your take on sunny being trans, this is a really nice video

regarding the picture evidence in Photogenic isnt it possible to differentiate between mari and sunny pictures in the real world, since aubrey seperated the both of them?

Really nice video! Loved the clear analysis and how easy it was to get. Honestly surprised you have so little subs, will definitely look into the rest of your work! Anyways time for the obligatory poorly theorized additions to the video essay wahoo Herosaurus i personally interpreted while watching this was sunny's body dysphoria and how he wished to view himself. Throughout headspace its pretty clear sunny idolizes hero, so it makes sense to aspire to be similar to him after transitioning. The dinosaur body showing how he feels alien to himself, and even viewed as ridiculous be others, as i'm pretty sure that's what we all thought when we first saw herosaurus. As for the omori faces room in blackspace, i find it REALLY interesting that you can use the gender potion in there. I've seen that previously interpreted as a sort of utmost "culmination" (probably the wrong word but oh well) of sunny's repression of himself. I'm confident that that ties into him being presented as trans, but how i couldn't tell you (sorry to disappoint).

Videos like this show how misunderstood the message of Omori is. As a person who is bi, I hate how all these characters get shipped and gendered in different ways because it takes away from the actual meaning of the game. This exact thing is why people don’t like the Omori fandom and tend to avoid playing the game as a result. I personally think that the characters in Omori are all straight except for maybe basil and this is mostly because the game takes place in August of 2001 and there were rare instances where a teenager identified as gay, bi, or anything else other than straight. This is the reason I do not like the Omori fandom and I hate being a part of it.

In a closet, still. Omori's last sections had me full in tears and all my fears and guilts weee resting in my chest. ... It's going to yake me some time to be able to watch this video.

not gonna watch something unrelated to the game

This is probably one of my favorite interpretations of headspace and Sunny ever. I’ve been wanting a video like this ever since watching NerdyArty’s video, and this video just did so well on analyzing Sunny and how his mind works

I've watched gameplays and played the game myself SO many times and I genuinely never noticed the long hair in the photo, I always thought it was Sunny based on his face and how similar the expression is to his other pictures so consider my mind blown lol. This was such a great video to watch and I can tell it had so much thought put into it and it's only helped solidify one of the first-ever theories I had made about Sunny which was him being somewhere under the transgender umbrella (especially with the whole mystery potion thing lol). Thanks for this analysis!! Again, it's very well made and now i have some more things to brainstorm about at 3 am 😅

i've seen an another deep dive into BS 2 (can give a link if you're interested) and there the "faces of omori" room was called something like "the heart of darkness". This, along with the fact that it is, as far as i remember, located in the Red Maze, which is a part of the Red Space (Omori's personal domain, as color red has been shown to represent repression on a number of occasions throughout the game), brings me to an idea that perhaps it can be indeed called the "heart" of Omori as an entity and, therefore, him being able to use the potion here kinda makes sense because it does seem fitting for a place that is connected to the concepts of both identity and repression also, the abyss is still technically underwater, as you access it through going into the dark on the neverending underwater road, so that might also explain the use of the potion here

this video made me so happy for some reason. idk, but i literally found it right after coming out to my mum as trans so it was kinda silly timing!! anyways, i love the video. it makes a lot of sense to me, and i feel like this should be a canon thing lolz :) sorry if this literally makes no sense i rarely ever comment on videos but i just rly wanted to try and say how much i love this video and how happy it made me (without making a multiple paragraph long comment)!! :) also sorry for commenting this long after the video came out i feel like it may be annoying-

uh oh

I always interpreted the women bosses being mean to be the last image of Mari, in a sense. The last point that Sunny interacted with Mari, she was angry and not exactly considering Sunny's own feelings to the concert, so seeing this was quite interesting to hear!!

I feel like it makes sense for Sunny to be trans, Sunny is a both gendered name, and it would make sense for him to start out as a girl at birth but started out early as a guy or smh... but I'm not so sure about Omori. Omori sounds more like a male name, so Omori must have been created during Sunny's male mindset. It seems like Sunny has told his friends about it at some point because all his friends call him by the pronouns "he/him" and they know he doesn't like being alone, I feel like that loneliness comes from his (made-up) fear of being a girl or smh. I do feel like i'm saying nonsense, and I think that is the point.

as a burger I can't get away from kel, I'm currently hiding and someone please call the police, I don't wanna get eaten

i REALLY don't see it. Definitely bi or more likely gay (im just making this up) Basil asked him out or kissed him then apologizes now Sunny REALLY trying to outrun his feelings for him --outrunning something that intense get the same result. but not anything that would suggest he wants to be a girl, andro, or fluid. mystery potion more like an easter egg put into the game. Entire game is more about him dealing with extreme guilt and being unable to face reality.

I just love transfem Sunny. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Transmasc sunny just doesn’t make sense. We see sunny grow up as a boy from birth. Sunny hasn’t left the house in years. They wouldn’t even have access to Hrt. If sunny is trans they haven’t transitioned yet. i feel like your just projecting yourself onto them. I’m gonna edit this later with a full explanation.

im actually surprised people find it "haunting" I've always found it as an inspirational motto. "a promise in our hearts" definetly feels like that kind of cheesy quote that still makes you feeel happy years after being told it by a friend. lol

Just managed to P-rank a custom level in ULTRAKILL while watching this (took a while but I got it at around the 33 min. mark lmao). A lot of interesting points were brought up, the conclusion was wholesome, overall a great video essay.

i kinda feel like sunny is 12 and that this is the 2000s where this kinda stuff was small? Playing devils advocate here but i feel like there's an important reason as to why sunny is a male, they would've had a female version otherwise idk just feels like it messes with the narrative a lil ig.

i have a little something to add witb the statement on 29:30 because, somewhere in black space 2 ((im 97% sure)) sunny and mari's mum is comforting sunny, im guessing after mari's death. she says something about how "we're ((her and the father)) here/going to protect you" similar to what basil says. im guessing this is because sunny might of told them what happened? i havent looked too far into it though and it is just a theory!! anyway, i loved this video and headcannon so much thank you for taking time to make this 🙏🙏🙏

as a transfem, i totally buy the transmasc interpretation.

As a transmasc the Abbi part always made me feel weird, what is she exactly? and why is it there? Since we meet Abbi on the Hikikomori route we immediately enter into combat, without even knowing who she is or why we fight and even if we forgive her, she will always be trapped in the deepest part, right next to the black space. Thanks to this video I just realized why it seemed so strange to me. What if it's represented like "a past self" ? a past self that Sunny desperately seeks to hide and retain, that he wishes to forget, or at least that's the impression I get

Lol

As a trans person who kins for sunny I loved this video sm

Yes

18:31 It's clearly MARI's face that we see here

I'm saying around a 35% liklyhood of this being true. also apparently youtube auto deletes a comment with the words mhi (this is shortened form another phrase) and personally i think they should do something similar to deltarune this time with another character.

(still watching as im commenting) im trans masc and, funnily enough, go by sunny cus of omori 🥲. seeing this hit a little closer to me for some reason cus of that, idk why

Before anybody calls me transphobic or anything stupid like that, i am not saying you can't have headcanons, but they're called headcanons, not change the canon. What I'm about to say is just basic facts that for some reason people don't want to look at. You can have alternate universes where these scenarios happen, but don't be surprised when people don't agree with you that Sunny is trans. I also respect trans people for who they are and who they aspire to become in the future. I am simply doing a critique of this video because there are lots of issues I've noticed. I'm just gonna say it, we saw him as a baby. We saw him literally as a young child too. There was no shot he transitioned between then. Along with that, if it even relatively mattered to the story, I think Omocat would've included something about it. The mystery potion is also a bad argument for 2 reasons: 1 - It's only true purpose is to be a nod to the fact that you used to be able to choose Sunny's gender. 2 - If you really wanted to take a deep dive into it, it makes more sense to assume that it's just something that crossed his mind rather than stretching to this extreme. It's normal to have thoughts like "What if i was a girl? What if I was a boy?" it doesn't mean you're trans.. Saying that Mari in the comic book photo is actually Sunny is a HUGE stretch. The clothes don't align with Sunny's style of wear at the time, which was just a t-shirt and some shorts, simple stuff. Also, Sunny's iconic ahoge isn't visible in that picture, even though at that angle, it would be. Along with that, we saw pictures of Sunny being male dated before that picture? E.G: Basil's birthday photo of him, dated 2/18, is placed before the comic book photo, which was dated 8/18. It simply doesn't line up. As for the bosses, there are plenty of side characters that are female that are just fine. Po for example, the lady that Kel compliments for being tall. The playground characters, and many others. You can't just choose the bosses and not the side characters to analyze. Also, you cannot say that they fully die on the true route just because Sunny doesn't get far enough into the dream to see them alive. Hell, Perfectheart isn't even looking down on you, where did you get that from?? She just doesn't want you hurt cause she is aware what she could be capable of, but she is unaware what you are capable of. It's always good to warn people, you know. Another thing about the mystery potion, when you use it, you can go into the girl's bathroom. Inside, it looks nothing like a real girl's bathroom, showing that Sunny has never really been in one. Along with that, if Sunny didn't want to be a girl, then why would the mirror make him look "especially flattering" in it. Sunny's dad not knowing about the reality behind Mari's death would be wild.. Cause he literally had to cut down the tree and probably take her hanging body off of it, he would see there were brusies and scratches on it, meaning something else happened. It's also likely that Sunny told his parents, seeing as he's a literal child, not knowing what to do in a situation like this. They likely taught in schools that if something goes wrong you tell a trusted adult. It makes far more sense than his dad disowning him for gender. It's either that or he didn't want to be involved with the family anymore after his probably favorite child died. If you pay attention, the dad seems like a strict authoritarian, not wanting Mari to be dating just yet. He might be where Mari got her perfectionism from too. She was likely his favorite child, and once she's gone, he didn't want to be part of the family, so he chopped down the tree and left. Keep in mind as well, this is an adult man, who can see things that are hidden far better than a 12 yr old can hide them. I wouldn't overthink the Herosaurus thing too much, to me it quite literally just seems like a silly joke Sunny thought of in his head when he was young and clung onto. It's just meant to be a silly gag for shits and giggles. In MY conclusion, the evidence presented here today is a little flimsy, and you stretched it a little too far. Now again, you can have your beliefs, and I have mine, that's a-ok. Just don't start trying to say it's almost a definite truth that he is, as theres many holes in it. Thanks for spending the time to read, have a good rest of your day/night.

this is one of the times i’d say i don’t respect someone’s omori headcanon but i mean do whatever the fuck you want anyways, this video is nitpicking and literally gets most things wrong, nobody in headspace does die, i don’t know what you’re trying to say about the bosses segment, but that entire segment is literally almost all wrong

Woah. I never thought of it that way. Jesus this is a beautiful take. You made amazing points and i love this theory lol good work :))

This is such a good analysis!! I really liked the video nerdyarty made, and this is a great response! In omori's sketchbook the drawing were he sits in the bathtub hangs his clothing on a line and a bra hangs with it too!? I thought that was something that goes with this video!!!

As a transwoman, I absolutely fucking LOVE this video. It's amazing. I've headcanoned Sunny as Transfem for a VERY long time, and I've been waiting for a video like this to be made. So.. thank you. Thank you so much, this is wonderful! I love trans Sunny!! Transfem, Transmasc, it doesn't matter to me! He's just. SO not cis-coded to me!!! And this video is such a WONDERFUL deep dive into the trans-masc sunny headcanon!!! It's SO great!! AUGUHGUGH!!!!

Never realized it was Mari in the Space Boy comic photo, cool. Also great video, earned a sub :)
