Yeah, best example is the raft. He says about “something that’s been really bothering” him, and we don’t hear what before his head comes off. My guess is that, Basil asked Omori to hear him out, Omori gave a quiet nod, and then, when he and Omori were offscreen, Basil went to bring up Mari’s death, and Omori’s response was to immediately cut his head off.
So during the spider death, y'know how basil says "They help me tend to my garden by eating all of the pests!", right? Since the spiders eat the insects and i think they ate basil, that might've tied into the fact that omori only saw basil as a pest 😞
Or You know, since they both covered Mari's death he feel like both of them, him and Basil are Bugs and Bad persons but hear me out, sunny is the bug that hid when thing got thought, Basil had to continue his life rutine as if he didnt involved himself in a murder. In sunnys mind he's a bug that shielded himself and Basil the bug he left to rot by the cruel web of the spider calles consecuences
@@RushWheeler SUNNY and Basil are yes, but omori was created to keep sunny away from anything that could remind him of the truth. So after a few of DW Basil's slipups, I'd imagine that omori saw him as a pest that must be dealt with.
We all know Sunny is seething at the question. The real basil knows what he did. The basil in his head needs to stop trying to remind him. Stranger is already bad enough. What Sunny did was an _accident;_ basil made a conscious choice and effort to cover up his horrible mistake. But it broke basil, too, trying to rationalize and justify his actions; who knows how long it took for the regret to really sink in. Was it that same night? When sunny stopped coming to school? I would honestly love basil's version of the events and see his headspace and how the incident warped him. I got the impression he is more messed up than sunny and inherently always has been.
The spiders're actually a pretty good metaphor for basil helping sunny. Think about it, Basil's trying to be kind/helpful to the spiders by allowing them to be on him, but over time, more and more are on him, until they just consume him. Not unlike the guilt he felt by helping Sunny cover up Mari's death
Which is really frustrating because like Basil helping Sunny cover up Mari's death did nothing good for anyone so like he was just trying tob e kind but did something awful instead!!
Another thing to consider is that spiders, at least in dreams, usually represent our fears... In different escenarios it means different things, but always related to that.
All BASIL deaths we know of: Suicide (Real World during the Neutral endings) Crushed like a waterlmelon (Watermelon Area) Swarmed (And bitten) by spiders (Spider Area) Crushed (or decapitated) by elevator doors (Treehouse Area) Decapitated during screen transition (Raft Area) Beaten to death by "KEL" and "AUBREY" (Neighbor area) Edit: Cut open by OMORI (Cutscene where OMORI turns against SUNNY)
the watermelon one was the worst for me. I had to pause and sit for a moment. Like, holy shit I didn't expect that; and it's the only one that as a player you feel responsible for.
Same that was just so abrupt and a huge wtf that I had to take time to process what happened. After that I refused to squash any more watermelons, but then realized I had to do it anyway to get the key.
Maybe I'm not the most sympathetic kind but when it happened I was like "Oh... Ok." Then proceed to continue popping melons after trying to interact with blood and mince chunks of flesh of a dear friend and accomplice that *I* made. It's the same with Mewo. After looking for all available options, which there's only one. I did what had to be done and cut it open after reading every description of Mewo's shock and fear. But after a couple more doors-the elevator scene, did I realize. The warning was *really* a warning, and got too uneasy to continue to open more doors (it was 5 am at that point and I wanted to wrap this up as soon as possible). For the record I'm not entirely cold to it, there's this feeling of a heavy weight on my heart that I can't seem to identify what feeling it is. It can worse to the point where I feel my throat is constricted.
@@dumbleking5172 lol yeh its hard to feel sympathy for 2d characters. My Great and Wise English teacher told us one time that fiction is a vehicle for greater truth, but to empathize u have to suspend your disbelief. Which is really hard when basil turns into a 32x32 watermelon I think i get what you mean. Most of the game isn't exactly scary, i think it gets its atmosphere from a slow build up. Also some situations that are strange enough to keep you wondering like, what exactly happened there?? the watermelon scene isn't disturbing to me because it's gross or gorey but more cause of what it implies about Sunny, and the player as a conduit. Since the game is largely about guilt, i think a lot of people feel familiar with wanting to forget stuff. Basil torture felt like the natural end of a bad coping mechanism. sorry for the long comment i got carried away lol
@@dumbleking5172 theres only one way to escape the room with mewo (by stabbing yourself) because the red hands aren't there, so you can get out of the room without hurting mewo, you just have to stab yourself (and you can get the key from the butler if you talk to them enough i think?)
1:57 ok but the fact that Basil is so innocent for thinking like "i'm probably scaring them" instead of being like angry at the spiders REALLY HURTS ME IDK DUDE---
It's important to remember that Sunny has no control over what happens in black space since it literally represents his subconscious- it's why he hates the place so much and why such horrifying things happen there. The things that happen behind the doors all seem to be mere intrusive thoughts rather than legitimate conscious desires. Like, for example, the mewo room.
yes thank you for pointing out these are intrusive thoughts meant to be disturbing to sunny rather than sunny actually wanting basil to die!! sunny’s complicated feelings about basil (guilt over abandoning him, the trauma he associates with him, how he simultaneously imagines him as his childhood best friend/representation of repressed memories/a stranger he doesn’t recognize after the incident, both because of how horrifying it was and because they literally haven’t talked in years) are really interesting and seeing them reduced to just “sunny hates basil and wants him to die” is frustrating. like from a dreamworld perspective omori has to kill basil because his presence inevitably reminds sunny of the truth, but the psychological implications are way more interesting than just “sunny hates basil”
When I played though this part every death hit me hard After the spider death though I was basically in the mood of "BASI- Oh right.. how will you die this time..." His final death made me sad tho
Omori represents all of sunny's repressed trauma, self hatred, and desire to isolate. There's definitely something to be said about how much Sunny like to imagine basil dying while he's "omori", and how in the good ending Sunny seems to want Basil to be happy too and to relieve him of his guilt. The cutscene in the secret happy ending where they both lose their "somethings" they both smile at each other shows that. Basil is also at his most "obsessed dependent lunatic" when he's surrounded by his something too or having a mental breakdown. What I'm trying to say is, I don't think sunny and basil hate each other, I just think their trauma has made what was once a sweet friendship into something much worse. Sunny is conflicted between hating Basil for being obsessed and dependent while Sunny wants to do nothing but isolate and distance himself, but also the part of Sunny that wants to recover and move on wants to help Basil too because they're friends. Basil has also been abandoned by his parents and his grandmother is on her death bed (its implied she even died) so it makes sense why he would cling onto Sunny, his closest friend, so badly.
I have a feeling that Basil coming up with the idea of covering up the reason Mari died might have something to do with Sunny/Omori imagining Basil getting killed.
That is also why sunny and omori fight for control in the true ending. I also think that the reason why basil helped sunny was because he had nobody else, and he couldn't lose sunny too. In the good ending, sunny wants basil to feel better because he has been through so much that he didn't have to. Basil could have ran off, or told the others, but he decided to help him, only causing himself more suffering.
the raft one was the worst imo, especially when riding it twice as you’re just floating along in silence with headless basil for like 30 seconds while creepy music plays
There's something particularly cold about it. In the other deaths Omori walks away. For the raft, he's non-chalantly sitting next to the dead body he just decapitated and can ride the raft with said body in tow over and over.
A lot of people interpret this as Sunny hating Basil. I don’t really get that, it just seems like a weird conclusion to draw. The opposite is true, Sunny sees Basil as one of the most important, cherished people in his life. They just have a scary shared secret. Basil is getting killed over and over again because he will eventually reveal the truth to Sunny, and Omori is trying to prevent Sunny’s repressed memories from resurfacing. This is destined to happen, so Basil is always gotten rid of after a certain time in the dream world. “The Flower Boy is always destined to seek and reveal the truth.”
5:15 literally made me shiver. His best friends were beating him to death and then acting normal after it was done. Is this really how Sunny feels abt Basil knowing the Truth?
the way i understand it, omori killing basil is basically just him protecting sunny from the truth. "the flower boy is always destined to seek and reveal the truth" it doesnt mean sunny hates basil or anything like that. clearly, he cares a lot about him. its just a representation of whats going on in his mind. suppressing memories.
"Oh Hi Omori! Im so glad your here to save me!" "Dude you died 15 times just give it up already" "Oh, this looks so cute, im gonna touch it!" "AHHHH ITS BITING MY ARM OFF AND IM DYING OF BLOOD LOSS HELP OMORI"
Its sunny's head repeadedly blocking out the traumatic events. His brain kills basil right before he talks about the truth, to continue to keep it repressed from his mind.
Sunny don't want to be reminded the murderer of Mari, it's way to block a traumatic event and protect him, that's way every time basil want to talk about that omori (alter ego of sunny) kills him
The fact that Basil dies before he can say what's on his mind practically every time signifies that OMORI is still attempting to hide the truth away by killing BASIL before anything can be done. It's really horrifying.
Since he's my fav character, when i played through this part, i got so fuckin scared for after he kept dying and dying I cried after i finished that part for an hour.
With the context that Omori is trying to represent suppressing memories and Basil is kinda the source of these memories makes it almost comedic in hindsight. Like duke dastardly trying to stop the messenger pigeon. “Whoops! Guess we will never know what he was trying to say. Oh well”
anybody other than me noticed that all the times basil dies in black space, it represents sunny’s fears, his fear of heights is represented with basil getting his head slit in the elevator (the elevator is high up), sunny’s fear of spiders is represented with basil being eaten by spiders, and his fear of drowning is represented when basil dies well on the wood plank in the river, and when basil dies to his friends, it represents sunny’s fear of telling the truth about mari’s death.
Watching this again it didn´t feel scary but when I played that for the first time it traumatized me and I actually almost felt like throwing up. I was alone at home and played the game for hours forgetting everything around me. And I remember trying to desperately get Basil out of there savely. "There must be one room where I can save him" and everytime he died it made me sick. I love horror and nothing ever scares me... but this shit... this is a masterpiece.
"Oh Imma take the stairs real quick" *Falls to her death "Maybe I'll use the elevator instead" *gets fucking decapitated "Its not that high maybe I can jump of-
I wonder if Basil dying over and over is the manifestation Sunny's desire to cover up the evidence Basil has, or if it's Sunny's guilt for abandoning him after Mari's death.
HIKIKOMORI SPOILERS BELOW!! Smol theory, but maybe the reason why there are so many Basils in Black Space in the first place has to do with the fact the game implies/pretty much says that Omori has been going thorugh the journey of looking for Basil with his friends over and over again, though many times he was unsuccessful and it led to the death of his friends, and now only remain as skeletons (ex. the skeletons seen throughout the game such as in Sweetheart's dungeon and in the Slime Sisters' labatory, as well as one of the skeletons in the Abyss being labeled "Aubrey?"). Maybe Basil is "respawned" in a sense every time Omori restarts the dream world, but since he keeps on banishing Basil into Black Space, there are now multiple dreamworld Basils lost in Black Space, each one from a different time Omori reset White Space.
I'm still mad that in my playthrough, I decided to just open the red door instead of exploring more of Black Space. there's so much creepy scenery I missed out on
Personally the only ones I find creepy are the elevator one and Aubrey murdering him. The elevator one haunted me cause when it happened I tried to talk to basil and it just said "uuuuh gaaa mmn." Or something along those lines it shows that he's still conscious enough to make sound when his head was literally chopped off. And the baseball bat one also haunts me cause everyone just acts like brutally murdering your friends is normal and hero just practically says, "ope, Aubrey and kel just bashed Basil's head in.... OH WELL!" And Also kel is such a nice character and it hurts to see him murder basil! But it is kinda funny when you think about the fact basil is now the Kenny of Omori.
Worst part is that I thought Kel put up the middle finger at Basil as if Omori is incredibly mad at Basil for even being involved in the trauma, and then Kel threw the rocks to make it very personal.
sprinkle some diced basil on the donut some watermelon juice in a cup and for the main course some tenderized steak this recipe was brought to you by the local spiders in the top right corner of your closet
The watermelon area made my brain stop working after screaming No The elevator area thing made me hold on to my neck, I felt his pain there for some reason
This was the first time the game really sent me into a shock, after smashing watermelon Basil I had to take a few seconds to process what had just happened lol But I loved these scenes because after all Omori was created to cover up the truth and basically protect Sunny from it, so Basil trying to tell Omori the truth is somehow a threat to Sunny's world, where Omori is king
I will never get over the fact that Omori confused Basil with a watermelon 😂😂😂 when that happened I literally stared at the screen for like five minutes before freaking out
Me telling my parents about black space: so you go into all these rooms and end up seeing basil blah blah blah etc “And you kill him?” Me: well yes but no.
I love the elevator one. It isn't a realistic death to happen in the real world, but it's still macabre regardless. It's the kind of thing you'd think about in your ordinary day like "I wonder what would happen if my head got stuck in the doors here" and that makes sense seeing as it's taking place in someones mind
Sad thing is that this has happened so many times before, this is just normal to Omori. He doesn't care that basil is dying, not only cause of the story, but because he's seen it happen before so many times.

"Dude you died 15 times just give it up already"
"Oh, this looks so cute, im gonna touch it!"
"AHHHH ITS BITING MY ARM OFF AND IM DYING OF BLOOD LOSS HELP OMORI"
Omori: every time... -_-
so everytime basil wanna tell something (i believe the truth) to omori, he always ended up killed
Its sunny's head repeadedly blocking out the traumatic events. His brain kills basil right before he talks about the truth, to continue to keep it repressed from his mind.
Sunny don't want to be reminded the murderer of Mari, it's way to block a traumatic event and protect him, that's way every time basil want to talk about that omori (alter ego of sunny) kills him
Not Basil trying to comfort the spiders 😭
The fact that aubrey finishes the last one is fucking brutal
The fact that Basil dies before he can say what's on his mind practically every time signifies that OMORI is still attempting to hide the truth away by killing BASIL before anything can be done.
It's really horrifying.
Since he's my fav character, when i played through this part, i got so fuckin scared for after he kept dying and dying
I cried after i finished that part for an hour.
With the context that Omori is trying to represent suppressing memories and Basil is kinda the source of these memories makes it almost comedic in hindsight. Like duke dastardly trying to stop the messenger pigeon. “Whoops! Guess we will never know what he was trying to say. Oh well”
Duke Dastardy hahahahaha
anybody other than me noticed that all the times basil dies in black space, it represents sunny’s fears, his fear of heights is represented with basil getting his head slit in the elevator (the elevator is high up), sunny’s fear of spiders is represented with basil being eaten by spiders, and his fear of drowning is represented when basil dies well on the wood plank in the river, and when basil dies to his friends, it represents sunny’s fear of telling the truth about mari’s death.
0:36 so THATS why Basil gets called a watermelon by the fandom… jeeeez 😟
damn basils a herb and a watermelon 😔 i eat both all the time
@@animationsandvnsbasil cannibalism
That moment when you’re crushing watermelons but you accidentally crush your friend instead.
ITS THAT TREND 💀
Man, I hate it when that happens!
3:14 LOOK AT HIM PEEKING HAHAH
Basil is the kind of guy who is just too sweet for that world, tho maybe so useless that he could die in any possible way.
We love him anyway
he wasnt useless what
Watching this again it didn´t feel scary but when I played that for the first time it traumatized me and I actually almost felt like throwing up. I was alone at home and played the game for hours forgetting everything around me. And I remember trying to desperately get Basil out of there savely. "There must be one room where I can save him" and everytime he died it made me sick. I love horror and nothing ever scares me... but this shit... this is a masterpiece.
I JUST WANTED TO CUT UP SOME MELONS
🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉
SAME I WAS MORTIFIED WHEN I SAW BASIL LIKE THAT AS IT WAS THE ONLY BASIL DEATH I HAD
The fact that this is 8 minutes long. 8 minutes of glorious glorious Basil death.
A few minutes of this is just talking you know-

B: I hop you find luck and fortune in your future
Jirachi moment
actually, he also got cut open in the cutscene before the hand throne, and killed himself in both neutral endings, so make that 8
5 deaths but 19 rooms
Basil experienced too much Brasil

4:28 Basil stood up in the Splash Mountain ride
XD
I wonder if Basil dying over and over is the manifestation Sunny's desire to cover up the evidence Basil has, or if it's Sunny's guilt for abandoning him after Mari's death.
im pretty sure it is :P
Pretty sure it's the first option because the last death of headspace basil is beign stabbed by Omori in the red space thingy

The amount of metaphors in this game is honestly impressive
HIKIKOMORI SPOILERS BELOW!!
Smol theory, but maybe the reason why there are so many Basils in Black Space in the first place has to do with the fact the game implies/pretty much says that Omori has been going thorugh the journey of looking for Basil with his friends over and over again, though many times he was unsuccessful and it led to the death of his friends, and now only remain as skeletons (ex. the skeletons seen throughout the game such as in Sweetheart's dungeon and in the Slime Sisters' labatory, as well as one of the skeletons in the Abyss being labeled "Aubrey?"). Maybe Basil is "respawned" in a sense every time Omori restarts the dream world, but since he keeps on banishing Basil into Black Space, there are now multiple dreamworld Basils lost in Black Space, each one from a different time Omori reset White Space.
Undertale flashbacks*
we don't have proof OMORI does the banishing, the fact that the Black Space game segment even occurs seems to suggest it actually wasn't OMORI
@@somethingAccurate I'm pretty sure it's Omori. He has always been the part of Sunny that doesn't want to remember the truth
Pain, misery, suffering, and other words that indicate not a good time. Poor Basil
5:27 SJSJDJDK this is how I imagine aubrey bullying basil in the real word
That's murder
Jesus Christ that's way too brutal-
I mean... that might be how the story went without us there to intervene in the hikkomori route
SJSJDJDK murder
Aubrey doesn't use her bat but man. brutal.
Idk why I’m watching this when Basil is my favorite character 🤧😞
0:34 I cried out "NOO BASIL" when he shattered to pieces
I'm still mad that in my playthrough, I decided to just open the red door instead of exploring more of Black Space. there's so much creepy scenery I missed out on
Personally the only ones I find creepy are the elevator one and Aubrey murdering him.
The elevator one haunted me cause when it happened I tried to talk to basil and it just said "uuuuh gaaa mmn." Or something along those lines it shows that he's still conscious enough to make sound when his head was literally chopped off.
And the baseball bat one also haunts me cause everyone just acts like brutally murdering your friends is normal and hero just practically says, "ope, Aubrey and kel just bashed Basil's head in.... OH WELL!" And Also kel is such a nice character and it hurts to see him murder basil!
But it is kinda funny when you think about the fact basil is now the Kenny of Omori.
Worst part is that I thought Kel put up the middle finger at Basil as if Omori is incredibly mad at Basil for even being involved in the trauma, and then Kel threw the rocks to make it very personal.
it hurts to see my boy Basil die in so many harsh ways.
You will never reach the truth....
This is requiem

*Touches a box labelled 'the truth'*
even though it's a funny jojo meme the point of basil dying is literally giorno's quote omg thanks
Basil: Thanks, Omori! Let's go home!
Omori: Well, about that...
The melon and aubrey one had me so shocked I almost cried 😭
I started crying when Basil tried calming down the spiders :(
Basil is just the Kenny of Omori.
He's also the Snaley of backspace.
this gives me "100 Ways to kill (Character)" vibes
Or "_____ Ways to Die in ______" videos
sprinkle some diced basil on the donut
some watermelon juice in a cup
and for the main course some tenderized steak
this recipe was brought to you by the local spiders in the top right corner of your closet
i- well that was creative
Warning: our elevator is malfunctioning right now, not recommended for use
That spider one is just horrifying
The watermelon area made my brain stop working after screaming No
The elevator area thing made me hold on to my neck, I felt his pain there for some reason
"They killed Basil"
"You bastards!"
8 minutes of basil dying.. i don't need it
This was the first time the game really sent me into a shock, after smashing watermelon Basil I had to take a few seconds to process what had just happened lol
But I loved these scenes because after all Omori was created to cover up the truth and basically protect Sunny from it, so Basil trying to tell Omori the truth is somehow a threat to Sunny's world, where Omori is king
BRUH HOW DO BASIL BE RESPAWNING? HE USING CHEATS BRUH
No, he's working with Monika, she has a backup of his character file so if he dies she can fix that
I will never get over the fact that Omori confused Basil with a watermelon 😂😂😂 when that happened I literally stared at the screen for like five minutes before freaking out
Me telling my parents about black space: so you go into all these rooms and end up seeing basil blah blah blah etc
“And you kill him?”
Me: well yes but no.
The one where basil turns into a melon then squished Hiself reminds me of the cake trend
Basil dies so many times it’s triggering 😭😭
THEY ARE SUCH BRUTAL DEATHS THOUGH-
oh my god they killed basil! you bastards!!
The watermelon popping one scared the hell out of me the first time I saw it
This part of the game hurt me the most
0:35 when this happened in the game for me, my jaw DROPPED😭
5:25 Aubrey really said “Beat that boy with a bat *SMACK* ”
I love the elevator one. It isn't a realistic death to happen in the real world, but it's still macabre regardless. It's the kind of thing you'd think about in your ordinary day like "I wonder what would happen if my head got stuck in the doors here" and that makes sense seeing as it's taking place in someones mind
they shoulda added teachers sleeping in schools
3:13 bro he looks so silly because even his little profile thing when he talks shows only half of his head lol
I remember playing the watermelons with my sibling and they just stop dead in their tracks and scream “HuUuuuUuuuh?”
Basil looks at the ads for extra lives
Best boi Basil gets it really rough...
I only cracked the watermelon for the key........ I only cracked it for the key......
Sad thing is that this has happened so many times before, this is just normal to Omori. He doesn't care that basil is dying, not only cause of the story, but because he's seen it happen before so many times.
5:20 I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING
PROVOKING
"Omori, I've come to bargain."
The spider one ( 0:44 ) scares the ever loving shit outa me!
Nuzzledash: This video contains gore.
