I love how Hishikaku has become the go-to guy to insert into a story when you need a really arrogant and obnoxious Foundation higher-up who promptly gets absolutely verbally wrecked by everyone around them.
I’m so glad we all hate him.
Especially when the story features an AI, his "specialty".
And somehow still manages to ruin the entire universe, every single time. He deserves an SCP log himself
Poor guy, honestly. I think perhaps the 05s deserve the bite for not putting someone ready and able to do what was needed into these positions. Poor Hishikaku man.
It borders on lolFoundation to me, it absolutely baffles the mind that Hishikaku hasn’t been terminated. Is there a SINGLE story where he’a an asset to the Foundation rather than a massive liability?
Soon as I heard the name "Hishakaku" I audibly went "oh no not this guy again"
His crazy shits kicks in 😂
Lol, same
This man cannot go one universe without ruining literally everything. He needs to be studied.
Right
His name sounds familiar what other scp is he in
I think as I fall asleep, I'm going to dream of you saying "88 88" a million times in a row.
Insert Stanley Parable reference here.
I could only hear it said so many times before it started inexplicably cracking me up
Idk how your dreams are going to be the day we have 5-digit SCPs.
I watch the same ones over and over and fall asleep every time
*OH BOY! IT’S 3AM!!*
Nah it's midnight
Nope 8am
00:17 for me
More balls 😂
☕️
*Sees authors list*
SCP-8888: I'm putting together a team, m8
To reset the world, I suppose?
@@michaelandreipalon359to write one heck of a good time
You sonnuvabitch, I'm in!
What are we, some kind of foundation?
@@sanstheskeleton8104 lmfao
It’s the LOTUS/RAIDFRAME-VIII (SCP-6488) guy again!
Yeah, that scientist guy really made me flinch and freak, hearing his name.
It took forever, but it hit me when you summed up the future predictions about halfway through.
I love how it’s not at all out of character for the SCP foundation to be running all their ideas by a magic 8 ball. Now my question is, what if it was just a normal magic 8 ball and the foundation gaslit itself into protecting this hunk of plastic out of confirmation bias.
What about this: what if ALL magic 8 balls are anomalous?
I am sick of seeing the same Over meta gender confused SCP characters.
@@carlsonbench1827what is bro yapping about 😭
@@carlsonbench1827 false flag get outta here
What if it actually is anamolous, but it just anamolously amplifies everyone's confirmation bias around it.
Gr8 upd8 m8. I r8 it an 8/8.
6:42 the name "Hishakaku" made me audibly groan. I've read numerous articles with him involved by now and somehow he always manages to be a real piece of shit, no matter what happens in the story.
He is perhaps most notable in 7579 and 6488, where he truly shows how Hishakaku gets shit done; incredibly poorly.
@@oksure9261
Why would The Foundation keep this jackass around, then?
What scps is he all in
@@tylerpierce2349 like the other person who replied to me said, he is probably most notable in SCP-6488 and SCP-7579. 6488 is part of the "admonition" series, and you can find a playlist on it by TES. 6488 is interesting enough to be good by itself though if you don't want to go through the whole playlist.
@@tylerpierce23498888 of course, as well as 7579, which is essentially an evolved version of 079 that hishakaku allowed to grow out of control. (Although I wouldn’t place all the blame on Hishakaku, Supervisor Valis did essentially antagonize 079 into his evolution)
Scp 31415 is a circular pie where the circumference has no relation to the radius
Few can say that they've allowed a Overseer's parent to be stolen. And by few, I just mean Hishakaku.
Ever since I played it, I keep noticing art from Control in your vids and I love it.
If anyone reading hasn't played it and they want a great SCP-inspired game, PLAY IT. You will not be disappointed!
You MUST play Control if you like SCP stuff.
I'd be a funny twist if the prediction engine, was the one that orchestrated it's own theft.
As a nerd who loves ancient tech, I really like the reference to the Antikythera Mechanism at the end when talking about the device's history
For context, it is a clockwork mechanism created in ancient Greece found in the early 20th century stored in Athens' museum. Modern analyses using Xray to count the gear tooth reveal it was a complex device that could predict the movement of planets with impressive accuracy (there's a great bbc documentary about it that goes into further details, it is insane, they even accounted for the minute changes in the speed of the Moon around the Earth)
Was up playing Ghosts of Tsushima, looked over, saw the clock. It's time for SCP's.
Man of culture I see
"Hishakaku"
OH BOY WHAT DID HE FUCK UP THIS TIME
I love how as soon as you hear Hishikaku's name pop up, you INSTANTLY know this article is gonna be a ride and AI is another wonderful man made horror beyond our comprehension
This was probably one of my favourites of the 8kon. It's incredibly fun.
The way you delivered "Which makes this turn of events quite unfortunate" had me rolling for some reason. Also any article where Hishikaku eats a crapload of humble pie is great in my book
Haven’t read the wiki on this one yet, but I’ve got my prediction.
Hishakaku organized the theft of SCP-8888 in an attempt to first undermine, then overthrow the O-5 Council, asserting himself as the sole leader.
I see your prediction and raise you mine. SCP-8888 foresaw/predicted Hishakaku harming the SCP in some significant way involving SCP-8888 & made another prediction to avoid the situation which involved the SCP stealing SCP-8888 from itself.
We already know all SCP-8888's predictions have been made for the SCP.
Eh, Hishakaku being the big bad just seems too simple for a story like this. He may be involved, as rocki says, but I doubt they would play it that straight.
You son of a [REDACTED], I’m in.
Perfect timing was just about to go to bed
one of the best narrations of SCP media ever, never stop man you got a talent for voice work and a soothing voice for narration. that is why i will always come back to your channel.
It just blows my mind that we are close to 10k SCPs!
Director Hishakaku is back at it again
I like how you're focusing on the newest series... I've been reading a couple, this one seems like it's gonna fun! Thanks, Explorer!
I listened to every single one of your eps on Spotify now I feel like oi have no idea what to do. I really love the none clinical way you read these articles. you put time into summarizing them and make them easy to follow. youre just not reading off of a page like most of the other people interested. if there is ANYONE that does it similar to you, please let me know. Ive enjoyed every one of your readings immensely. really helped my boring job go by ten times faster, and for that. i thank you kind sir!
+1
Damn those overseers are assholes in this cannon
I am loving these multipart scp episodes back to back!!
Oh boy! It's midnight (pdt)!!!
Never catch them this early, nice.
Yay new bedtime stories 😂 honestly, I probably watch your videos once or twice awake and then 5 times while sleeping or trying to
I love the callback to "This Is Where I Died"... one of my all-time faves
For some reason, this one reminds me of that scoundrel droid from Dark Forces: Jedi Knight.
It's so good to have the SCP schedule back!
“Obscuring an angled golden insignia”
Ok so some foundation sites allow select wondertainment toys in their rec rooms 😂
New Scp reading from tes? I can sleep when I'm dead
OH BOY ITS 3 BALL AM!
I was wondering if I should finish reading the SCP and saw this was posted 8 days ago, what a perfectly timed coin-ki-dink!
0:37 So, being a unrepentant casino robber is a "good reason" now?
Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool.
Oooo this sounds really interesting and like a great set up. I eagerly await part two 😄
Gotta say, hearing about Hishakaku in hot water with the O-5, really cathartic after the Lotus incident
Extremely competent characters doing what they do best so pissing on plants
This is sounding very interesting
I love finding unexpected uploads
Always dig the content but these last few two parters are some GREAT storytelling, props!
Wohoo woke up and SCP lore!
wow this 8-ball is really powerful at keeping things in reality so stable
I agree fully with this intro. 😊
So “Oceans Eleven” scp style then eh?
Oh boy, exploring series at 3 am
Will you PLEASE just make merch that says "Let's take a look" already?! I swear to you, I will buy five of those shirts and/or hoodies.
Not a bad idea.
lets goooo another 2 parterrrrrrr
ITS 3am I MUST BE LONELY!!!
Perfect timing
Woooooo you are the best!
I am using your videos to introduce people to scp. So thank you
I am so ready. 🎉
we need a part 2!!
5 am
Just before going to work
Thank you so much
So happy to see another update! TES never fails to delight! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Well, it looks like this is a case for Murphy Lawden 🕵️♂️🔎🎱❓
Also know as “Fifteen Flavors of META”
PART ONE, DADDY!
BOOM BABY!
ah fuck it it's about time I subbed to your Patreon. I genuinely feel bad because I definitely get more than 5 dollars a month worth of enjoyment from your content
Awesome video as always! Was wondering if you would consider doing a narration of "The Challenge from Beyond" by HP Lovecraft and some others?
Telekill in an 8000 series article? Wow, I thought it had been shunned and stopped being used years ago.
Can't watch right now but I want to leave a comment to boost the algorithm. :)
About to sell my property. Listening to this to calm down
What a cool concept, even if it's an intellectually satirical reference to a magic 8 ball.
haven't started the vid yet, but the black and white thumbnail makes me hope this is Murphy Law
Someone was waiting years to make this bit
I'm getting sleepy
Wohooo!!! its 1 pm!
When will part two come out this scp is so good so far
awwwwww yeeeeeahhhhhh LETS GOOO
now i want to see SCP 8008-5, for containment purposes ofcourse..
Yes basically an improved magic 8 ball
I heard you been lookin' for me. I don't care who you are, no one can defeat me!
Exploring Series: It identifies him as one Ryoto Hishakaku
Me: Not this fucking guy again
8 is my favorite number!
OH BOY RIGHT AT BEDTIME 😀
Yahoo!
My sleep therapy
3 am hell yeah
Couldn't made it all in one. We'd be here.
Now.... have to wait on baited breath for another week....bruh
^_^
well i missed my 2 am video but tonight will be a good sleep
So a magic 8ball that actually works
wow so the Foundation has a real magic eight ball toy lol
Two mechanical predicive scp in the same day. Who could have guessed? (Volgan did 1032 the prediction clock)
i find it interesting that 8888 is like 8 ball (circle)
OH BOY! 3AM CAME EARLY!
Sleep squad rise! .... wait a minute..
Hishakaku is on par with Dougall Deering as one of the most evil Foundation employees.
Nah, Thomas Graham beats both of them in terms of being evil, and its not even the funny sort.
Isn’t he the brother of the waste disposal guy? I didn’t really interpret his actions as “evil” he was just a selfish coward, and I give him some credit for sacrificing himself to become a horrible sewage pipe ghost to keep time from collapsing in on itself
If everyone is so convinced that Hishikaku is a terrible person who sucks at his job, then why does the Foundation still employ him? Why did they ever hire him in the first place? How can he possibly be this freaking bad? I'm really tired of it. If he works for the Foundation at a high level, then he should have been exhaustively evaluated again and again and again thousands of times; it should not be possible for him to still have a position of such authority if he has no redeeming qualities.
Oh man we eating good, quick uploads??
If ai had the flashes abilities then I would be unstoppable 😂
Hell ya
Woohoo!
I'd highly suggest putting some sort of recognisable picture/logo/theme on your thumbnails. I almost overlooked this one on the feed.
