I had sorta retired the idea of returning to these Stickmin Backstory style videos. After a Multiversal theory for Henry, and backstory headcanons for Ellie and Charles, I felt pretty tapped out! But the 2 year anniversary of the Henry Stickmin Collection got me itching to make more!
A HUGE thank you to Fruz for editing!!

jrpg?
No grinding? So you can get the strongest weapon in one second?
It makes sense that Terrence could be considered a worse leader than the party era guy since at least under him the clan was fun to be a part of.
TWM I know you exist, but do you enjoy said existence?
considering the fact that his bio states he launched operations just for the thrill also means he probably got many good toppats killed while also running the clan out of money.

EXCUSE ME WHAT
I-I MEAN WHA-WHAT
YOU ACTUALLY
...
YOU ACTUALLY EXIST!?!!?!?
OH MY GOD THE ONE SHOT PFPS THEY ARE EVERYTHERE!
i understand though, one shot is an amazing game
"Half fact, half theory, half fanfic"
2LeftThumb videos are so good they have 3 halves
3/2 do be equal to 1
Half life
Manbearpig
Half man, half bear, half pig.
Ah like manbearpig half man half bear half pig
A half is two parts of one whole, So it's three parts of a whole that he includes in the video
Reginald basically is every supervillain’s personality on steroids and IT WORKS he’s a good character and more people should realize that
More like mastermind
Honestly my favourite part of his character is that in the betrayed he only betrays you because he genuinely thinks your a bad leader since he gets the chance too in another route and doesnt
Why do two criminal stickfigures have a better realationship than I've had my whole life?
no idea
That depends on how you and your parents get along...I suppose.
I actually like how this makes the Toppats seems more like a family then a buisness or gang. They have values, and care about loyalty, strength, and honor
Yeah, the tc have class and aren't just ray pists and murderer, kinda reminds me of rdr2
@@noobtube1323 woah
@@noobtube1323 BEFORE chapter 6 right?
I’m surprised that you didn’t mention the routes that have Right hand man as the leader. To be fair he doesn’t get many moments as chief, but it’s made clear that he’s still Reginalds right hand man, he’s leading because he was next in line, not because he wanted to lead. He’s fully content with Henry stealing the Gold train cart, and when he does go after Henry stealing the cart it’s because he stalled the train, possibly delaying the rocket launch, not because of the wealth inside. That implies to me That RHM isn’t a strong leader, he’s just trying to fulfil Reginalds final plans. It’s possible that RHM, despite being physically strong, won’t hold on to power because he’s not a natural leader, and could get replaced by Mr Macbeth or another high ranking Toppat (Probably not Sven)
Oh yeah he's never had the goal of being a leader he's always wanted to be in second place it seems he's loyal to the leader you can say that much for absolute certainty but I don't think he'd ever choose to be the leader himself unless he had to like for example if there was a for some reason sudden inability to have Reginald as the leader such as for example him dying in combat and being unable to be brought back and if that's the case he would probably assume temporary control until he could find someone who actually wanted to be the leader and could be proven to show some of the key traits of a good top hat leader like for example maybe Henry
I think it will actually be Sven since in the ending of ItA where you capture both Reginald and RHM Sven becomes the leader so it's possible it'll be the same here
he is literally replaced by sven lol
The Reginald copperbottom collection
Prologue: finding the toppats
Episode 1: becoming the leader
Episode 2: defending the clan
Episode 3: protecting the airship
Episode 4: betraying the convict
Episode 5: completing the mission
I’d totally play a version of Henry Stickmin that focused on Reginald! That sounds awesome, fantastic idea!
Imagine having such for all characters abd factions
General collection
1. New recruitment
2. Toppat top acts
3. Stickmin stick up
4. Convict conflict
5. Completing the mission
(Yeah OP has a better one.)
TAKE MY GODAMN MONEY!!!!!
Right Hand Man and Reginald are the best pair in the whole franchise.
They are so cool and important.
Henry and right hand man pair in toppat king:kill 100 people in 1 seconds
I am a certified Reginald supporter.
Thanks!
I think the Jaques painting is less him getting trapped and more like a snapshot in time, like if Henry jumped into any of the other paintings the same thing would happen, kind of like how you can replay missions in Mario 64, it is just a fragment of that part in time
"Copper-Bottom means trustworthy"
"i think this name fits well with Reginald, he really earned it"
lmao i can't stop laughing
Great video, I loved it!
Though I like to think Reginald's second hat he has stacked on top of his original hat belonged to Terrence. It implies to me that Reginald dealt with Terrence and his poor leadership directly, probably using the same means if booting him off the airship like The Betrayed or the beginning of Toppat Civil Warfare, keeping the hat has a trophy to his victory and a sign of his influence.
Interesting to note: if the second hat did belong to Terrence, then Reginald giving that same hat to Henry in RPE might hold some significance in how Reginald views Henry. By giving Henry, who has no prior knowledge of the clan or its history, the hat of the worst leader they've ever had on record, it might indicate to a few veteran members that Henry is not to be trusted despite his power.
After all, when Henry is recruited properly with Ellie in TR, he gets his own custom made top hat and is welcomed in through a proper ceremony.
That's just my take on it, though.
I didn't even notice that, that's so cool!
The theorizing here is really creative! Your ability to take things from characters personalities and infer that to their backstories is super impressive!
Reginald has been and always will be my favorite character. Also T.R.N.K could be Reynaldo the Brute
@@AnimatorAndGamer606 maybe that’s possible
Sotrue
Henry Stickmin is one of the most underrated game ever made, it’s so funny, and the stakes are high, every character is great, and it’s just really fun
Very good episode, very creative!
Now, for my Post-CtM theories on the top hat’s future.
Toppat Recuits: Possibly really really good for the Toppat’s future. Reginald is already a good leader, and under his leadership, Henry is a great crook who can do some pretty insane heists
Toppat King: In my eyes, undoubtedly the best for the future of the Toppats. When Henry works alone, he’s a very self centered, greedy, and risk taking. However, with Ellie as his right hand, I believe his selfish desires will be kept in check by the equally opportunistic yet more loyalty-valuing Ellie. Meanwhile, Reginald and RHM working as top ops in the clan means their unique skills can still utilized to the fullest.
Toppats 4 Life: Likely the worst outcome where Henry Allies with the Toppats. Henry is left in charge without supervision, meaning he has no obstacles in driving the clan into the ground when it suits him. We learn he was a good leader in the Toppats, but he is not loyal to them, and will spend his days in luxury on board the space station, until a government surprise attack in the prototype space fighters brings an end to Henry, and the rest of the clan as well.
Why doesn't this have more likes?
what about toppat civil warfare?
@@rorvgames6491 That one definitely depends on how the aforementioned civil war turns out.
@@airmanon7213 true
Isn't the hole point of "Toppat 4 Life" that henry is working to make sure no toppat is harmed during the rocket launch, without any gain for himself?
I think Sven was probably in charge of the space station project. It’s a high ranking position but one that pretty much just requires you to administrate and orchestrate rather than come up with your own ideas. He strikes me very much of the sort of person who is entirely happy to be important but not actually in charge of anything. However when the previous leadership was taken out he was in charge of their biggest ongoing project, possibly even the only way the clan had to bounce back. In that situation what is he to do? He can either take control or get shot in the back by someone else.
OOF stickman's have very thin backs so sven would be pretty much safe.
7:26
Jaques might have been the leader of the Toppats in the mid-90s, considering that he has an SM64 reference tied to him.
I'd like to think that, in the Toppat King Timeline, Henry got to see firsthand the true value of teamwork and mutual trust & cooperation, even among Thieves.
And with the bond he chooses to foster alongside Ellie Rose, I'd hope that they'd continue to foster loyalty within the clan like Reg & RHM before them.
I always wondered why I had a bit of respect for Reginald,this explains it.
This has nothing to do with the video but I want to mention this
The Two Ranks
ItA:Relentless Bounty Hunter
FtC:Presumed Dead
Have RPG Game references
And then the ending that uses those two ranks (little nest egg) also has an RPG Game reference
Hi please notice me
I always love when you post about the Henry Stickmin Series!
Wait I saw you in ItsFunnehs comment section a long time ago hiii
I imagine in the Toppat king timeline, Henry's portrait in the station (If he ever eventually got one) would list him as "One of the greatest leaders in Toppat history, single handedly saving the entire clan by putting his life on the line"
FINALLY. A lore dive to one of my favorite crime syndicates.
You know, building off this idea, there's an interesting contrast between the two endings where Henry solidifies his position as Toppat leader; 'Toppat 4 Life' and 'Toppat King'. In T4L, Henry becomes a singular 'strongman' leader by single-handedly beating back an attack on the clan to secure his position. Essentially he's become just like so many of the other singularly capable leaders of the Clan who we can see as more in it for themselves. While TK shows Henry actually takes more after Reginald; fighting alongside and sticking his neck out for Reg and other members, generally working and fighting for the betterment of the clan as a whole, and even establishing a co-leadership with Ellie just as Reginald did with RHM.
Basically, the former ending shows Henry ditching everything Reginald learned and going back to the old ways, while the latter show Henry basically following Reginald's example as a leader.
I feel like the Sir Wilford to Terrence Suave happened in a similar fashion to the Lion King plot: Terrence kills Wilford, presumably in a way that no one immediately knew it was him. After some time during his reckless, incompetent leadership, Reginald, who likely looked up to Wilford, overthrew Terrence (who knows, maybe Wilford's ghost ratted him out to Reggie)
Stuff I need to pass the schoolyear: I sleep
Toppat Clan lore: *REAL SHIT*
Please don't curse. I don't like it.
I am surprised that you forgot to talk about Henry after Rapidly Promoted Executive (RPE) Henry become the leader and the 3rd alt leader after Reginald
The video had ballooned long enough. I consciously chose to leave that one out.
32:32 I think that’s Sven Svenson there on the airship, so maybe he was the head of it, while working under Reginald who made it his main division
if he was in the airship division he would've been arrested in the GSPI pathways
@@superluigidummy he became the new leader as we see him in every gspi routes
@@iamgroot1918 That is literally what I just said.
Here’s my theory for SirWilfordIV and Terrence Suave
Story:
At the time SirWilfordIV was the leader of the toppats and Terrence was second command Since Wilford was a smoker he most likely died of lung cancer or either killed in battle unexpectedly the clan panicked and replaced the leader with Terrence
Who else thinks 2 Left Thumbs should dive into the backstory of Dave Panpa?
omg yes
And what about the origins of the Government faction? I know they are a counterpart of the USMC, but he should dig deeper into this theory.
there's not much backstory to made there, he's a quite simple character
incompetent policeman who got mixed up with something way to big for him to handle (Toppats)
@@leguichettravel1599they arent a faction they are quite literally the goverment of that country (definetly the military part)
@@justaguy8711 I think you are referring to the entire US Government. But during the events in ITA-CTM, it's only the military that is taking part in that battle. I got the idea of referring to their military as the USMC because during that starting scenario of CEO if you look at the PDA, you can see that instead of saying "Government Forces" or "Government Military", it just mentioned them as "US Marines" likely confirming that their military is compromised of entire USMC personnel with the exception of their pilots since they were handpicked from members of the US Air Force.
28:16 I just realized the guy from the opening cutscene of stealing the diamond was in the escape pod
I want to hear an explanation of what happened in the "Revenged" and "Space Resort" in terms of Tophat motivation
I’m stickmin space resort all toppats onboard are reformed into crew members
And the toppats on earth were all arrested
Revenged just has the airship crash meaning the toppat clan is still kicking
@@ThatGuyRNA the events leading up to "Revenged" does not fit Within Copperbottom's theoretical MO in this video
You would think that a multi-national criminal organization would not reform so easily in "Space Resort". Just stating that it is a sudden U-turn of a ending
@@44burn1 perhaps henry just got rid of any uncooperative toppats and built his company structure on fear so that the toppats stuck in the resort had to either cooperate, or be thrown out
@@superluigidummy maybe. But they seem pretty chill at the end
Like Dr Evil's henchman joined Austin Powers levels of groovy
@@44burn1 perhaps that one guy who was explaining it all in particular is truly reformed or is good at acting like he's happy
I didn't want to be THAT guy but I think i should point out:
1. at 3:45 that isn't the picture of terrence because on his right is Reynaldo instead of sir Wilford IV.
2. Jaques Kensington was actually a leader before dusty because the painting left of Reynaldo doesn't look like Kensington's, also when henry jumped into his painting, he jumped from the left which means that his painting is actually on the right of the entrance henry came through
(also i would be impossible for henry to jump into the painting left of reynaldo because of the toppat members in the way)
btw sorry for bad english
I think Henry could be a good leader cause in the Toppat King ending, you get that by saving Ellie, which Henry didn't have to do in the first place o3o
3:34 I Love The Fact That There Is A Stickmin Who Is Thinking At This Part
I like the fact you think capitalizing the first letter in every word is actually correct...
@@ShadowWolf2023-yp5zg I know proper grammar now.
I think that the reason he was in the luxury escape pod during the Valient Hero ending is because VH follow GSPI where he is the leader so it would make sense that because he is the leader he deserves a spot in the escape pod.
Thanks for making this video, I was looking forward to it and you didn't disappoint at all! Those two are my favourite characters from this series that I love so much.
I'm not sure if you've covered this, but in the intro at 1:25 has right hand man holding what seems to be the tf2 scout's bat
I watched the Charles analysis yesterday and then this comes out, nice
Who needs to study math when there's Henry Stickman lore to be understood.
I'm surprised you haven't talked about how in completing the mission and fleeing the complex Reginald loses his second hat and gold chain because Henry became leader
*Toppat leader dies*
Ali Gene: Yo we iz needin' like a new bossman
i like these theories, they make enough sense to possibly be canon
Wow, I had no idea that the Stickmin lore could get this deep and rich. Really makes me want a Stickmin RPG game.
Also note that terrence suave carries jacques kensington’s gun
How is it that each theory this guy makes on the game is a hundred times better than the last?
Late at night here in the office, and this is very entertaining.
Technically Ellie Rose would count as a leader for the Toppat Clan Leader in Toppat Civil Warfare.
I dont think that is confirmed in any way. It looks like that in the outro, but there is nothing official. We know that other more powerful people exist within the toppats, and unlike Henry, Ellie has not defeated anyone for the role
@@xseros7954 The commander will be the leader of the Delta Command. [PS: I wish the clan will follow the ranking system of the Chaos Insurgency, from the low-ranking Alphas to the all-powerful Deltas. They are insurgents after all, eh?]
@@leguichettravel1599 ...what?
@@superluigidummy Do you even read the Foundation logs or what?
@@superluigidummy AKA the SCP Foundation database kid.
This doesn't feel, can't be canon, yet it's still just as good!
Darn it these videos highlight so much! Canon or not this is why I love this game!!! Best video series of all time!
THIS IS GOING TO BE SO GOOD
I hate these because of how right he is just pure respect for the time he takes to gather this info
“And who’s there to support Reginald when things go wrong?”
(Ad) “Ooey Gooey crunchy goodness! The only way to s’mores!”
Could you please do one of these, but for the Wall?
Fun Fact: the mayor is a member of the Toppat Clan
This video kinda makes me feel for the toppats lmao 💀
Same bro🗿
To be fair, in the T4L Henry is a the best leader in that ending. He ended the raid before it could even begin. And no toppats had to be left behind.
God i love toppat so much. I wish i was there as one of them.
Same
2:57 Henry knows what is doing
Look at his earpiece
You soab
I think TRNK is Reynaldo the Brute Because he was popular and I guess they wanted him back But When he was revived as TRNK He didn't have any emotion other than being rude or some could say a brute
I have a theory: What if Kensington What the 75th Leader of the Toppat Clan? Because his course says “Course 75” And the other leaders have numbers in the order they ruled!
If that’s the case here’s how it is:
71: Dusty
72: Cloudface
73: Randy Radman
74: Reynaldo the Brute
75: Jacques Kensington
76: TRNK
77: Billy G
78: Sir Wilford IV
79: Terrence Suave
80: Reginald Copperbottom
Future Leaders by ItA and CtM paths:
GSPI Paths:
81: Sven Svenson
CeO, TT and VH: Sven stays as leader
SBO: Arrested by Government
PBT Paths:
JB and PP: Reginald stays as leader until is death
TR: Reginald remains as leader and survives
SSR: Arrested by Government
RBH Paths:
81: RHM
82: Sven Svenson
FM and LNE: RHM stays as leader
CG and MBH: RHM stays as leader until his death or arrest, Sven becomes the 82nd Leader
RPE Paths:
81: Henry Stickmin
82: Ellie Rose
Note: Reginald says in TB that he became leader again. However, for simplicity sakes. I’ll count Reginald as “acting leader” and not the official leader of the Toppats. In R Henry was still the leader, but Reginald didn’t give Henry position of leader. So, Henry was leader until his death. In T4L, Reginald was acting leader and have Henry his position of leadership back.
TCW: Henry dethroned, Ellie becomes the 82nd Leader
TK and T4L: Henry stays as leader
R: Henry stays as leader until his death
Overall,
Most CtM Paths reach the 81st Leader
Some CtM Paths reach the 82nd Leader
Few have Reginald Stay as the 80th Leader
This video represents the game perfectly
(The first 20 minutes)
I was not ready for this 😂
I mean... With that ending part of you describing them sticking together and weathering whatever and all that, is it really any surprise people ship them? It's certainly not so poetic in the games, but really. Great vid regardless lol
FUCK YEAH REGINALD EPISODE!
Henry is not the worst thing that hapenned to Toppats , the loyalist said he was pretty good leader , and he did alot of succesfull operation make the clan more rich , and in the toppat king ending regginald said , thanks to henrys effort we will able to deploy the space station
Reginald seems to be both a good and bad guy at the same time.
Just binged all ur videos
LETS GOOO MORE HENRY STICKMIN THEORIES
Ok, did you have to put Vindicated in there? I legitimately almost cried when I saw what happened at the very end of Revenged.
we love you!!💖💜💚💛🧡❤💙 Thank you for posting Everyday and Making us Smile😁🙌 We appreciate you sooooo much😍
If they ever team up with the government I think that would be cool
Sgt. Foley: Are you so sure about that?
Wow, you just made me respect Reginald copperbottom
You guys do realize that the topat with a cheese hat is found in almost every route
This looks like it will be interesting
at 31:26 it has the same toppat guy (the one with a black suit) at the museum in stealing the tunisian diamond when the intro cutscene plays
Read his CtM bio.
Hahahahaha i just saw the gremlin bio in this 13:51 greatest thing ever, better even than Charles' plans.
28:48 he then said he would not hesitate to leave people behind
Itd be cool if you could do a video on the chaos control center!
A bit off topic but Beloved Rapture gave me immediate Chrono Trigger vibes to the point where I thought, for a second, that the sponsor was for Chrono Trigger. lol
2 Left Thumbs: Not Aggressively Evil or Vindictive
Soundtrack: Vindicated by Ockeroid
Me: *Notices the Tune Used* Nice...But I still don't cry over Vindicated.
i think Reginald Copperbottom is a reference to Oswald Cobblepot, more known as The Penguin
Nice video. I know it’s kind of cliché but I was watching your playthrough last night.
10:30 U telling me no one realized the Michael Jackson reference to his song "Billie Jean" which had the line "The Billie Jean is not my lover, she's just a girl who claims that I'm the one"
Literally no one noticed???
Babe wake up, new henry stickmin lorr video dropped out
someone needs to make a HOI4 mod for the toppat clan
23:09 Reg hahaha, funny nickname.
Rhm name is alias in villains wiki and in the files his nickname is toppat bull
Theory:rhm is a member of the sir willford family his hat is pretty big and he is also a fierce leader
Imagine if 2 left thumbs explain the ccc
I feel like Reginald and "Righthand man" are more like friends or brothers.

why did i make this
ItA released in 2013.
11:50
Woah woah woah!
Cool it with the criticism of OUR(tm) REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCTACY(tm)!
By the way, Billy G might be referencing "Billy Jeans" by Michael Jackson as the characters are "he's not my lover".
Isn't Billie G the one who spread them out into divisions in the first place because think about it there's no way trunk when made that decision and he's the most recent one and he's shown in the airship which means that he was the one who he was the one who made that decision plus Sir Wilford killed Billy and that's when the cracks formed.
I feel like right hand man could also be trying to forget his own actual name, tryigg to forget his past?
8:23 Toppat
Reborn
Nightmare
King
maybe?
13:10 nostalgia.
Bro i wanted to be in the topphat clan idk why tho
You will be working from the starting rank mate called the Alphas.
