History Trivia / SiIvaGunner

** The channel is also responsible for transforming ''WesternAnimation/TheNutshack'' from an obscure Filipino series to an Internet icon[[note]]which in turn led to the resurgence of the "word replacement" fad from the early days of WebAnimation/YouTubePoop, thanks to a video where all of the nouns in the ''VideoGame/HotelMario'' intro were replaced with the Nutshack Theme[[/note]].

** Chaze the Chat explained in a [[https://twitter.com/ChazeOldTwit/status/792771717261168640 Tweet thread]] that the storyline following the reboot was originally going to be much different, with someone hacking [=SiIvaGunner's=] computer to add ''WesternAnimation/TheNutshack'' to it and ultimately making Tito Dick the lore's true villain. However, the fans ultimately ended up liking ''Nutshack'' rips more than disliking them (against the team's IntendedAudienceReaction) and the Mr Rental arc seemed more compelling, so it was scrapped.

** Chaze noted in a livestream that WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's takeover was ready to go well before the controversy that hit Website/ChannelAwesome just before it started, and the original ending for the takeover was completely different. It was scrapped in favor of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz_Hq2H-cUw "An AWESOME Announcement!"]], a video directly spoofing the controversy.
** Unregistered [=HyperCam=] 2 in the King for a Day Tournament was originally planned to be a MoeAnthropomorphism of the software called Unregistered Hyper''[[GratuitousJapanese Chan]]'', but it was scrapped in favor of a robot design more directly based on the software's icon.

** Chaze noted in a livestream that WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's takeover was already ready to go well before the controversy that hit WebVideo/ChannelAwesome just before it started, and the original ending for the takeover was completely different. It was scrapped in favor of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz_Hq2H-cUw "An AWESOME Announcement!"]], a video directly spoofing the controversy.

** According to the AMA on the [=GiIvaSunner=] subreddit, Tito Dick was at first supposed to be the villain of the lore. The plan for it was scrapped after The Nutshack meme was received a lot better than they anticipated.

* TheWikiRule: No surprises here. The [[https://siivagunner.fandom.com/ SiIvaGunner Wiki]] aims to explain the joke of every single high quality rip. Due to the abundance of RunningGags, the wiki also acts as a makeshift database, sort of. It is nearly 99% complete, and keep in mind that there are over 13,000 rips, so that's no small feat.

** "Giga Bowser - ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee''" was unlisted due to its poor quality, which generated negative reactions from fans. A second, higher-quality version of the video was publicly uploaded in its place.

* BannedEpisode: A number of rips over the years have been taken down by the team themselves with no intention to reupload them, due to a variety of reasons ranging from fan unpopularity and {{Old Shame}}s to accidental connections to ''possible real-world child abuse''. The Wiki/LostMediaWiki keeps [[https://lostmediawiki.com/SiIvaGunner_(partially_lost_removed_parody_music_videos_from_YouTube_channel;_2016-present) a fairly thorough list]] of banned rips and the reasons behind their removal.

* FranchiseZombie: Despite Chaze the Chat intending to end the channel on a high note in September 2016, the Christmas Comeback Crisis, intending to just be a temporary special return, has morphed into an actual comeback continuing ''way'' past the Christmas season. According to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMhVmUG0JN4 this rip]], which is actually a PSA from Chaze, Episode 7 of the Christmas Comeback Crisis fell into DevelopmentHell, but in the meantime, he and the other contributors gained a new sense of motivation to continue the channel.

* NamesTheSame: The Voice Inside Your Head has nothing to do with [[Series/TheVoice the talent show where musicians pick out the best singers]]. Didn't stop him from tweeting [[https://twitter.com/GiIvaSunner/status/860968299869241348 this]].

* CreativeDifferences: Triple-Q, one of the more well-known contributors to the channel, was unceremoniously let go from the contributors, as the others felt that his submissions [[https://twitter.com/TripleKyun/status/743656203218092032?replies_view=true&cursor=AADVR8b_UQo weren't of high enough quality]]. It was later revealed by a document from [=TUWieZ=] that Triple-Q was back in the team around the time of the Reboot, but he didn't upload any rips to the channel until the King for Another Day tournament, when he contributed three rips.

** "Theme Song - ''WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}''" was removed after a [=ScareTheater=] video revealed that one scene in the rip was sourced from what appeared to be a pedophilia ring, noting its similarity to another, verified child pornography video. The members of [=SiIvaGunner=] left a comment on the [=ScareTheater=] video stating that the footage was sourced from Website/FourChan's /x/ board without any knowledge of who made it or why.

* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: Le Ruse Bird was let go for uploading "Puzzle Room - ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot''" without permission from the rest of the staff. Le Ruse Bird did apologize and was allowed back into the group, but he remains permanently barred from uploading any content.

** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MxbM1IGc1s "OST version"]] of Megalovania from ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' is interrupted by Chad Warden, who takes his time to insult people who hate the [[Franchise/LoveLive Snow Halation]] remixes that frequently show up on the channel.

* IKnewIt: Quite a few people predicted the WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb takeover would be followed by a Doofenshmirtz takeover when little Perry-related music showed up during the former.

** One notable example of a terminated rip is the final boss theme of ''VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles'' (a remix of [[Music/{{Yes}} Round]][[Franchise/JoJosBizarreAdventure about]] using the Genesis synthesizer), which managed to reach over 60 thousand views before being taken down.

** A lot of the much edgier rips from early in the channel's days have been deleted over the years. While two of the most infamous examples are "Puzzle Room - Kirby Planet Robobot" and "Theme Song - Caillou" (especially the latter), there are plenty of less-known rips that the channel has since deleted, such as a [[https://siivagunner.fandom.com/wiki/Prinsengracht_-_The_Secret_Annex_Online 2017 rip (of an Anne Frank game no less) celebrating Hitler's birthday]]. A lot of this edginess originates from Chaze's and [=TUWieZ=]'s former influence on the channel, at least according to [=TUWieZ=] himself, which dissipated as the channel gained an increasingly diverse ripping team and many of the [[https://twitter.com/MsHinchy/status/1281216415089950720 earlier channel members turned out to be trans themselves]], leading to many of the original edgier channel heads leaving.

** The King For Another Day tournament ended with two tracks dedicated to those who passed away before the tournament began, with [[https://youtu.be/a6dR3sralhc 8PM (Fishing Night in Heaven)]] in memory of the backroom member Marrow, and [[https://youtu.be/domi1RZ-ydA Lifelight]] as a tribute to WebVideo/{{Etika}}.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** While the first season of the channel did a decent job at making rips of both old and new games, the sheer overabundance of ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' rips (and rips that reference it) dates it to around the time when ''Undertale''[='=]s popularity was at a critical mass. More generally, there's also the many rips referencing gaming-related news of the time.
** A massive amount of ''Anime/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' memes were also posted in 2016; while the show had not yet reached its absolute peak in popularity (that being around 2018-2019 during ''Golden Wind'', when Giorno's theme became a widespread meme), it was definitely when the show started to become essentially a mainstay of meme communities. As the incessant amount of [=JoJo=] rips started to become increasingly polarizing, they have since become significantly less common.

** The King for a Day tournaments have inspired multiple clones and similar tournaments on Soundcloud, which follow a similar structure to King for Another Day. Examples include ''Mashup Week, Temporary Flight Attendent, Third World Tournament,'' ''[[SelfDeprecation Another Unneceary Tournament]]'' and ''PRIZM''

* ParodyAssistance:
** [=GiIva=] (along with [[WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} Joel]]) helped with the script for the fan video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cugPzge-tWA "Hotel GiIvaSunner"]].
** [=JohnnyUtah=], creator of the ''WebAnimation/{{Tankmen}}'' series and Sergeant John's voice actor, recorded a new set of [[HaveANiceDeath death screen insults]] for the mod of the "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_6rt9Tj5aI Ugh]]" rip.

** [[IncrediblyLamePun Quite litterally in this case]], but Siiva has an entire art team dedicated for visuals of bigger events such as KFAD or The Christmas Comeback Crisis, who consistently illustrate high quality art when needed, no matter how bizarre or silly the circumstance requires. And much like the channel itself, no real monetization comes from this.

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d4_kAtxyw0 A Song for the Fireflies - Rime]]" pays tribute to the late Creator/IsaoTakahata, co-founder of Creator/StudioGhibli and director of ''Anime/GraveOfTheFireFlies''.

** January 9th, 2017, the first anniversary of the channel, saw a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPXZq_jc4xY video]] detailing a timeline of important events in channel's history. It also saw a special rip of "A Secret Course" from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'', which is an updated version of a pre-[=SiIva=] Soundclown remix - the very remix that inspired Chaze the Cat to start [=SiIvaGunner=]. (It was removed from the actual channel for "violating [=YouTube=]'s policy on spam, deceptive practices, and scams", but is reuploaded [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlPm9TcGj9E here]].
