Please watch the video before you comment "character X isn't evil" thank you very much!!! TH-cam video titles aren't fully nuanced because they can't be, its just the way it is.
Thank you for talking about madeline!! Her counterpart and whole "accepting not fighting that side of you" even prior to her not being confirmed as trans hit me as a trans woman... also agreed FUCK GENDER NORMS
2:44 Shadow actually does have an unintentional relation to Sonic. His creator based him and the biolizard prototype off of a mural he studied that prophesied the fight between Super Sonic and Perfect Chaos, it's also why his quills stand up like Super Sonic's.
I hate to be a nerd emoji on this but while Shadow was most likely based off a mural that prophesized Super Sonic, the mural mural depicted Super Sonic fighting (or rather chasing) Eggman. There is a Chaos mural, but it seems to be unrelated, even with Project Shadow as a whole since the connections between the Biolizard and Perfect Chaos are much less prominent than the 2 hedgehogs.
Nah you're right those wires got completely mixed in my head, I still think the Biolizard and Chaos have that connection when you consider the Master Emerald shrine they had replicated on the Ark, plus all the Artificial Chaos experiments that were still left over.
Praise for mentioning Dark Pit from Kid Icarus Uprising, my favorite Nintendo game of all time and my favorite take on a dark counterpart. obviously, Pittoo isn’t actually evil, but since he’s so busy on trying to prove himself better than Pit and fight him, it takes him a while to figure this out. i love how he is almost as heroic as Pit is, just in a different way.
loving warikyuun!! such a cute and fun interpretation of the concept, and i'm so glad we finally got the mythologized "waru-peachy" concept released. i love wapeach's design so much, she's so precious and i have a soft spot for edgy younger characters, they're so cute!
I do love the idea of counterparts. These dark mirrors to the protagonist that can show opposite traits or traits the hero keeps deep inside. They don't even need to be evil, just the opposite. My favourite is probably Metal Sonic not only cause he's really cool but also because of Sonic Heroes where he's so mad he's an inferior copy, he goes to extreme lengths to get the main hedgehog out of the picture so that he can be Sonic. Warikyuun feels like a very insired take on what your antithesis (so glad I'm not the only one who has trouble with that word) would be.
I honestly think that you should include Warikyuun in your future videos, her design and backstory look so emotional and kind of remind me of other people who had similar problems like you do. I even wonder what she might sound like, because it would make for some really cool lore.
Now I want to redesign my own dark counterpart which started as "Dark Oceane" but eventually started calling herself "Abyss", because of the depths of the ocean (aka. the abyss) are dark.
omg i ADORE this design!! love the backstory too ahaha one of my favorite evil counterparts is protoman from the megaman series just because he’s kinda a blend between the two types of counterparts you mentioned! he wasn’t created to mimic megaman, instead being the prototype robot for all the humanoid robots, (in a sense megaman is HIS counterpart lol) like the 2nd type, but later he ends up becoming the evil counterpart of megaman due to manipulation from dr. wily, so in another sense he WAS created because of megaman like the 1st type, but only the evil side of him. although, later in the series protoman does change his ways and becomes more of a help to megaman, like knuckles in sonic
This was such a lovely video!! I loved seeing you create an evil counterpart for yourself and explaining the different kind of contrasting characters for protagonists. Very informative and fun to see!!
I love these type of videos! This one in particular strikes a pretty great balance of video essay, a little bit of Mari lore, and a fun art prompt! I feel like there's not much else out there like this, and if there is, then you just do it exceptionally well!
I remember creating an evil version of my character. Her name is Anti-Kinako and she's exactly look like me to the point if she wears the same clothes of me, you wouldn't tell the difference because she was created by exactly dna from by blood AKA genetically cloned Kinako.
WALUIGI, anyways I like liquid and (solid) snake's relation in mgs1 because he really was designed as a sorta evil counterpart to snake with opposite ideologies and the whole story of mgs1 about ----- and history (I don't want to spoil it so I made it lines) makes a lot of sense for the game
I love the concept, mixing video games with your amazing art skills. Also i'm a beginner at drawing and i like when it talks about video games theories/easter egg ... etc
Dark counterparts to heroes can be fun if done well, and this video is a pretty decent showcase of the types of dark counterparts there are. There's actually another kind that technically counts that wasn't mentioned at all in the video; they're the kinds that are kinda similar to rivals that mirror the hero, but are only potentially linked to them in a symbolical way reflective of the hero's own dark thoughts and, in some cases, even trauma. A perfect example I can give is the final boss of Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil; I won't say their name since they're basically a walking spoiler, but if you know the context of the first game and put the pieces together... yeah.
I think this is great, you should do more like these! It's always interesting to see people cover topics they're interested in, and in this case, leading to something cool at the end.
Anyone else think that Marikyuun, someone who mostly makes youtube shorts, making a video where she talks about and makes her own evil *clone* , also stating the said evil counterpart will maybe appear in future videos in that video, all while Season 2 of the Shorts Wars ARG is going on, a little bit suspicious? Does this imply Mari will be in Shorts Wars?
Your end card is so beautiful! I love your opposite girl aswell and her lab coat AHHH so pretty! Your art inspires me so much it’s so happy and clean looking!❤❤❤❤
Really liking how this turned out! You got a great hook and used both fantastic music and sound design alongside a well-segmented script to keep things interesting. If you've ever seen Paracosm Party, your stuff feels like it could be formatted in a similar way for future videos, but for theme reasons instead of gameplay or biology reasons. Your art felt like it fit in really well this time around, and led into your own counterpart's art and personal story too. This is a hit of a video. Damn good job. Really excited to see more. Should've been subbed before. But that's fixed now
I wish I was my 15 year old self so THIS kind of content would nurture me earlier in my life! I’ve had so many of the ideas you mentioned on the video when I was younger and looking for more direction on art (the one time I got into an art course they put me to draw fruit baskets and that was NOT what I was looking for), but never got anyone to talk about them! This kind of content is definitely entertaining and talent-encouraging.
I have been seen your shorts a lot for a while and I love your artstyle and video-essay type of videos sooooo if you want to make more content like this I'd love to see it! Also maybeee you can keep talking about these type of Characters thropes/stereotypes and draw one for your own vtbur model and you can end up with a full story worth of Marikyuuns!!! 🥺 That could cute
I really liked this video! The combination of part discussion part art tutorial is really interesting to me. I'm a fan of both video genres so I really enjoy these.
i like this type of video, i love when youtubers experiment with videos they don't normally do, also this video reminded me of my own evil counterpart ocs i had when i was little.
My evil counterpart would be called "Nalyd". His story is that I actually drew him back in to the early-mid 00's when everyone was making their own dark edgy oc's. He'd grown in sketch magic power ever since, to the point where'd he'd become a multiversal threat that seeks to erase existence and redraw it in his own image.
Oh you should, please do! I would love to hear this topic more from you! Maybe you could design evil counterparts or foil to characters that haven't had one yet.
I've seen shadow as a hero than an anti hero. In sa2 shadow was mostly evil just beacuse of altered memories, but after he rememberes what Maria trully wanted he Instantly turned good. Cool art btw
Em actually, there is one other dark mirror counterpart. 🤓☝️ This is completely separate from the mainline Sonic series, but in the Archie books, Sonic had an evil counterpart named Scourge (aka Evil Sonic aka Anti-Sonic). He lives in the anti-Mobius called, "Moebius" and wants to have more attention than Sonic by ruining his day as much as possible.
Honestly… this reminds me of something similar I’ve done on the past with some of my characters, because I made a few mirror villains (aka basically perfect copy’s just evil) And then eventually moved on to make real villains that just contrast the characters weaknesses and exploiting everything they can rather than my characters use of only fighting with what they found out on the battlefield What I’m saying is, good job!❤ and thank you, you’ve reminded me of something important I forgot about long ago when making characters
I think you're the first art related TH-cam channel where what we see in the videos isn't just "art art and art", but art and other topics. That why I think you're the best art channel ever
Maybe Warikyuun missed Calamari, so she made a robot of some sort in response to that? Now I'm really invested with this idea! And I actually like this type of idea, you sounds like you have so much fun doing this and it's great! Also could it be that Wari and Calamari parted ways because she didn't align well with the magical girl power? (in some magical girl story, they used these concept of “corruption”/“fallen” where they're like the counterpart of magical girl. So an antagonist. So Warikyuun could also fall under these categories.) Maybe she wanted to understand emotions, and in order to do so, she did a bunch of experiment to people. (Pushing them to their limits, make them have a mental breakdown and etc), the existence of Calamari and magic also made her re-learn a lot of things. Making her able to create the “love potions”
0:47 i thought it was very ironic how suddenly Joker from Persona 5 appeared outta nowhere when Mari said "personafied" while I'm currently drawing a Persona 5 OC right now xD
To add onto more evil counterparts are two characters who I think fit in foil or mirror. These are outside of video games but I thought it be cool to mention them In 2002, Japan aired a battle royal like show known as Kamen Rider Ryuki, part of the Kamen Rider franchise. Our protagonist who I’ll just call Ryuki(his “hero name”), can be seen as your classic youthful(at the time), happy to go Protagonist. Through out the series we see various characters who become allies or obstacles for Ryuki like Kamen Rider Ouja and all. Later on in the series and the movie we are met with mirror world counterparts, only one and that’s the Black Mirror Dragon Kamen Rider Ryuga. A menace to the characters as a whole, stopping Ouja’s large fusion monster known as Genocider, and stopping Ryuki in his tracks, this mirror clone was a powerful force and a favorite of mine with his appearance still being up to date. Watch Kamen Rider Ryuki if you can, then the movie so you can see Ryuga’s power. His current debut is in past year’s winter movie Kamen Rider Geats x Revice Battle Royal In terms of Foil, Kamen Rider Genm of 2016’s Kamen Rider Ex-aid may be the best pick I can think of. He follows a bit of the shadow role in terms of looks but shines with his character as a whole. A fan favorite towards character and actor, or its just me. Genm, unlike Ryuga’s minor appearance of the main series, has a whole story for him from Villain to anti hero…to villain again. The character is such a oddity but gotta love him for that. Base form is a purple and black color scheme with Fleetway Sonic Red eyes conpared to Ex-Aid’s(the main character) Lively pink and green with silver touches and a cartoonish orangish eyes. This theme continues on for most of his transformation except for his own unique form known as Dangerous Zombie, making him immortal for a while. Again like Ryuga, check out the series. This time you’ll have more content of Genm. Appearances are as strong as Ryuga’s, being his recent was during the spin off series Kamen Rider Outsiders and it’s still going Hope this was some fun bits of info to learn and enjoy the show if you do try checking it out
I would honestly think that Warikyuun parted ways with their magical girl powers due to them focusing on their degree rather than helping out others because they want to be happy. However after finding out that Marikyuun is not only happy but also successful she is now obsessed with capturing the squid to create her "love" potion. Or at least that's my head cannon.
Nice Video Mari! I was slightly silently judging you for putting the rizz sound effect for shadow... but then the metalpipe.mp3 played for metal sonic played and I knew you were cooking
you have no idea how hard i freaked out when my favorite youtuber (u) started talking about my favorite thing EVR IN THIS UNIVERSE (shadow the hedgehog)
Warikyuun strikes me as the kind of villain that is also their own worst enemy, as if she still didn't like her job but stuck with it because it was easy for her to do.
While I do love your take on an “Evil Counterpart” (which I do btw), I’d love to also see your take on just straight up “Final Boss Villains” (Bowser & Eggman as examples)
That was actually a genius design, and I like it. I have a suggestion that because she didn't take that squid, though, that she should get a squid with the opposing morals later in her timeline instead to contrast the way of life you've taken. I feel like it'd put emphasis on the whole opposing narrative thing.
Fantastic video Mariiiii!!! I loved it a lot. Specially Wari, just genious haha Also your Wapeach has to be my favorite Wapeach in the whole internet!! 😍😍
I love your design I have a soft spot for med scientist. It’ll be kind of cool if you can draw like the boy version of you. The only trope that’s kind of like the evil trope is The opposite gender one and that’s the only one I can think of
The drawings on the labcoat seem like an odd practice that seems to defeat some the purpose of labcoats (easily identifying if something spilled and where, I think). But if she was drawing around and based on stains that got to the labcoat, to mark the occasion and remind herself of her artistic proclivities...
Dark Counterparts click my interests after dipping to the "tag" of it. Despite the stuff I swallowed growing up, I grew to appreciate the dark counterpart trope and its sub tropes! Meanwhile, I need to design a dark counterpart of my own... lol
Please watch the video before you comment "character X isn't evil" thank you very much!!! TH-cam video titles aren't fully nuanced because they can't be, its just the way it is.

I have a suggestion that because she didn't take that squid, though, that she should get a squid with the opposing morals later in her timeline instead to contrast the way of life you've taken. I feel like it'd put emphasis on the whole opposing narrative thing.
I was thinking she could build a squid robot little guy 🤔
I love this new type of video!! it was so pleasant to watch, a type of breath of fresh air!
Fantastic video Mariiiii!!! I loved it a lot. Specially Wari, just genious haha Also your Wapeach has to be my favorite Wapeach in the whole internet!! 😍😍
This was pretty cool. If you want to do this, go for this!
This is my favorite video from you by far
As a Non-regular viewer, I loved this video and you should do it more often. Also I love your art.
Warikyuun : Thick lines on the outside, thin on the inside.
I like your art and the ideas you put into Warikyuun
I was sold when Badeline was in the thumbnail.
Golly! Painter that got rejected from art school turned evil? I hope no really bad things arise from that…
I love your design I have a soft spot for med scientist. It’ll be kind of cool if you can draw like the boy version of you. The only trope that’s kind of like the evil trope is The opposite gender one and that’s the only one I can think of
The video was super fun! If you have more ideas like this I'm sure ppl would love to see it
The drawings on the labcoat seem like an odd practice that seems to defeat some the purpose of labcoats (easily identifying if something spilled and where, I think).
But if she was drawing around and based on stains that got to the labcoat, to mark the occasion and remind herself of her artistic proclivities...
Marikyuuun’s music choice is on point!
Dark Counterparts click my interests after dipping to the "tag" of it. Despite the stuff I swallowed growing up, I grew to appreciate the dark counterpart trope and its sub tropes! Meanwhile, I need to design a dark counterpart of my own... lol
This was awesome I’d like to see more vids like this
