Every Sidekick Explained in 7 Minutes 

You forgot about a single type of sidekick -- the murder accusation & kidnapper magnet Maya Fey , the one who *causes* the hero to even *begin* his missions in this case.

It’s important to remember that these can overlap and one sidekick is not necessarily limited to one role.

I cannot believe you did not list Spock as a "Brains" example.

It seems like you are explaining almost all Jojo side characters, which is impressive.

An archetype I've found recently (especially in persona/smt) is the character that is added later in a new remaster of the game/story's narrative which provides a whole other perspective on the story as a whole while still integrating themselves properly. Kasumi, Kotone, Maruki and Yoko come to mind.

Next make a video about villain assistant

Ace from One Piece was once the captain of the Spade Pirates. I'm not even joking, that is cannon.

This is literally all the Straw Hats members

For squire, and you mentioned Robin, Red Hood could work for that

adding an intro to something that was invented without one nahhhh ✊😞 (all jokes aside pretty rad)

BT-7274 was one hell of a spade

5:48 literally my sidekick oc lol

Finally, we got the sidekicks!!

Shit, not even my characters have a sidekick. Thanks for the video data!

Gotta have Bucky into Winter Soldier 😱

you forgot "The mentor" the sidekick that teach MC a lot of thing and keep them in their way, for example: Merlin, Gandalf,

My favorite Brawn example is Amos Burton from The Expanse.

Love this series. Keep doing more

2:50, and Hermione Granger and Jazz Fenton

Soos from Gravity Falls would be "Ordinary".

2:47, though there are exceptions to that. Spock’s primary function is as the brains and he’s canonically far stronger than a human being

Yo why are you so underrated

These are interesting types of sidekicks discussed in the video.🙂

Yes you did Sidekicks!

1:06 Starfire?

1:04 I think N from Murder Drones is that sidekick.

For fun here are examples based on characters I thought up. Heart-Scrap-The talking monkey that in more ways than one is the heart of the group. He loves his friends and will do everything and anything in his power to help them. Lancer-Boss-The rival to the main character and while a jerk at first quickly grows to respect him. His group in general gets closer along the way and maybe even sees them as family along the way. Brains-Ned-A video game lover and a genius in terms of computers that is the surrogate son of a detective that's partners with a talking orangutan. A gentle soul that becomes more of a man after falling in love once or twice. Skeptic-Lorule-A royal advisor that is a genius and the mother of all introverts. He becomes a father like figure to the princess and seeks to help her in anyway. He doesn't always approve of her choices but he always approves of her. Ordinary-Common Man-The name says it all. A regular guy that wanted to be a superhero because he just wanted to make a difference. No powers but he's got heart and in the end is the one that defeats Dr. Crazy. (see villain video) Jestor-Johnny Halloween-A family man that joined a monster hunter after losing his family. His humor is raunchy much to the hero's annoyance but he always has his back and even pulls him out of tough situations. Spade-Mikey (got his name from Ninja Turtles) the funny guy that gives the hero someone to talk to and has a heart almost as big as him. But he unfortunately meets his end by the hands of the Dark Lord. He was talking too much. Squire-Polaris-The son of Star Queen (see hero video) & becomes her sidekick & loves her very much. While young his sense of justice is even greater than his mother and in his own time would become a great superhero as well. Brawn-Marceline (got her name from Adventure Time) A powerful vampire that finds a group of kids called the Monster Squad and joins. A mother figure that lets the kids make most of the decisions but will at times step in.

Eric tomizawa from LAD infinite wealth fits skeptic perfectly. Always questioning the ridiculous thing that the party always gets into 😂.

Peeta and Alura are my favourite Heart sidekicks!

*resets ' it has been X days since I was reminded that sits of arcadia is never getting a sequel' to 0*

First example of a "squire" that came to mind was Luke from Professor Layton series Spoilers to Unwound Future: . . . . . They even play around with the idea of a "corrupted squire" by turning his (ahem) "future self" into an antagonist near the end

I like how I can see three of the ninja turtles as the top three sidekicks

Where the henchmen at?

Brains - Q from James Bond Spade - Brom from Eragon Jester - Ned from Tom Holland's Spider-man Squire - Samwise Gamgee (Just some more examples)

1:33, and Nick Chopper/The Tin Woodsman from The Wizard of Oz

What about the mentor character? Their roll may is to guide the hero and give good advise, but don't need to die. Sometimes they do, but not always. From Nightwing's story perspective, Batman fills this role. For Creed it is Rocky Balboa. What happens to the mentor? Some die, some can't continue that life any more, some join on the adventure, others part ways for different reasons. An important aspect is that they are not the leaders of the groups. This may be due to a Prophecy about the Hero being a certain person, or they just know they are not suitable for it. At least, the hero is more suitable for the role.

Somehow I have a feeling that Alador from Wolf Song The Movie would be classed as simultaneously the heart and the spade (wait did I just spoil the whole thing for everyone here)

I can see why you didn’t put him, because having two part one jojo characters as examples in one video might be a bit odd, but I feel like Will A. Zeppeli is an amazing example of a spade, he was literally told he was fated to die, and he gave Jonathan a power boost as he died

Heart/Spade - Polites (Epic: The Musical) Skeptic/Lancer - Eurylochus (Epic: The Musical/The Odyssey (I guess? I’m going based off of Epic though) The Lightning saga literally destroyed me 😭

4:34 Carlos from the Magic School Bus

4:59 i was just saying to myself: “if he put krillin here that’d be wild”

Great video 👍. Do you plan on making a video on types of worldbuilding or characters like types protagonists and antagonists? And by the way, about my villian I ask about for a game I dream on making. I plan on making his dynamic with it the heros like a man vs machine kind of dynamic based on the raise of A.I. Freedom vs Control,Chaos vs Order, Diversity vs Uniformity. Like having the villian using advanced weapons as apposed the heros using primitive tools like axes or slings.

I think there should be a video of villain side kicks/ hench men

Maybe do a every love interest ever type video

I can't believe you didn't list Sans undertale (or deltarune) as a "Jester" example

Samwise Gamgee is a Squire I think

gotta love how he named speedwagon right next to 2 other female characters well i mean many people consider speedwagon best waifu so

what a vid

LAnCer FrOm DeLTaRUNe!?!

I feel like huighie from the boys is an "ordinary"

Mooman rider is as big a hero as any portoganist could be, domt throw "sidekick" around too much

Zuko is a Lancer.

Honestly for Squire you could've just gone Robin, Robin and Robin if you wanted to be lazy since it wouldn't exactly be wrong

I guess Jack would be "the lancer" to Ralf in Lord of the Flies?

I really thought he was gonna talk about sidekicks as a move in a fight and not helpers of characters.

Youre underrated asf Bro. These videos definitely helps me in storybuilding.

5:08, is that where Sancho Panza in Man of La Mancha would be or would be Ordinary? (Yes, I know Man of La Mancha is based on Don Quixote but I’m more familiar with the play than the book.)

But what about computer sidekicks, like the PDA in Subn- No, that's the Brains in the most literal sense.

Is Minion from Megamind a heart sidekick? Oh and is Syndrome from Incredibles a corrupted/rejected squire ?

And once again, I'm reminded that TOOTIE SHOULD'VE BEEN A MAIN CHARACTER IN FAIRLY ODD PARENTS!! They could've given her Wanda as a Godparent, or something! But nope, Chole was necessary for SOME REASON!!

it pains me that you didnt use lancer deltarune as an example

damn, the story im writing doesnt have a sidekick.... but if its side characters the bestfriend that she comes with anyways even if deadly is a sidekick, and if so then its Heart for my story, plus technically i have a Brains character pushing the whole plot fowards but he isnt a sidekick, plus i technically have a Lancer and a Brawn? i mean i have an egomaniac hero that is just too full of themselves leading too well drama plus only being a hero too look cool, and yeah i litrally have a spade, being a teacher character that dies in the end, also funny one of my protagonists are simmular too a squire in some ways.... so i have a bit of everything, i dont have the energy too list anymore since i just wrote for like an hour right before this-

Can you make "every powerhouse explained in 7 minutes"

You mention skeptics and do not mention their patron saint: Dana Scully

who was the guy who predicted "lancer" again?

One suggestion for lancer, lancer from Deltarune

Lancer deltarune was not on the lancer list i will not stand for this

lightning bolts shoot from my fingertips

As a Yuyu Hakusho fanboy, Hiei is much more of a lancer and than Kuwabara.

How about evil henchman.

zoro and vegeta are lancer

Sidekick is a deutagonist right?

what about a glasses?

Wouldn't Noelle fit into squire?

Hi I noticed that not enough people talk about profiles that much so every reply to this comment should talk about a profile of someone else

What are the axis titles? What makes a type higher or lower What makes them more to the left or right? You've done it for the other videos I've seem.

🧠 💪 &❤

hello

4:45, like Cedric Diggory

Lancer is not a lancer or a spade. My life is ruined.

This guy is purposefully leaving out the good characters so he can have his garbage anime ones I swear Edit: Star wars characters for each one Heart: Ahsoka Tano Lancer: Han Solo Brains: Zuckuss Skeptic: Obi Wan Kenobi Ordinary: Lando Calrissian Jester: C3PO and R2D2 Spade: Qui Gon Jinn Squire: Darth Zannah Brawn: Chewbacca

1 view in 13 minutes? Bro fell off 😔

You listed Ralsei and Susie from deltarune but NOT SAND deltru???? lol
