Why Bedman is PEAK FICTION 

Please stop commenting about weezer i am begging you

9:25 "The money you spend on shampoo could likely pay another person's rent" 10/10 character I'm dying

If only Romeo's parents named him Bedman, he would still be in Strive this is so sad

Why peakman is bed fiction

Hello, In case you're wondering because you didn't mention it, Bedman is called Romeo and his sister Delilah because it was the name of 2 of Freddie Mercury's cats. Also yeah, Bedman is cool, definitiely one of the most unique characters in the history of fiction

When the circle went "no... you cant see the radiant light" i actually got chills

"This will be on the test, and the test is blocking this overhead" I'm not sure if it was intentional, but this made me laugh since it was said with the cadence and tone of Xrd Bedman

So according to Chaos in his arcade dialogue, Bedman manages to 'delete his own 'ID', becoming a multidimensional being. Based on that information, I think that by dying in Xrd, he simply lost his direct connection to this reality. Now, what I believe is that Bedman doesn't necessarily physically transcend dimensions, but rather can upload his consciousness to other dimensions, like the Dream World. Now, his consciousness has retreated back into the Dream World, where he still has control over the Bed. I believe the Bed is controlled remotely, whether Bedman is in the physical realm or not. The Bed itself is badly damaged in Strive, and I am willing to bet Bedman lost a good deal of power upon his physical death. This could explain the Bed's lack of empathy, and only does anything to protect Delilah. I am curious to see what Arcsys does with Bedman in the future, and if they do explain what is going on with 'Romeo'.

I haven't heard Bedman's dub before and man is it nice. The fast pace talking really sounds like the racing train of thought of someone with an incomprehensible amount knowledge

Bedman did get mentioned once in Strive before the DLC story happened in one of Ramlethal's taunt conversations she has with her companion Lucifero, where she states how she learned how important uniqueness and cherishing the little things are from Sin and Bedman. Cute little mention that you wouldn't ever be able to hear in an actual match

Chipp wasnt taught by the otter, he was trained by a human ninja named Tsuyoshi who was killed by the assassins before the events of the first game. The otter is one of May's sea creature friends who hes teaching ninjutsu

Surprised that you didn't mention the writing on Bedman's spike wheels that spell "Oneiroi" which are the group of gods of dreaming from Greek myth.

Freddie Mercury had several cats and 2 of them were named Delilah and Romeo so that might be the inspiration.

A small correction S-Ko is not possessing Zappa because he is her boyfriend S-Ko mistook Zappa for her boyfriend and is now possessing him because she was betrayed by him, and she wanted revenge. Zappa just coincidentally happened to look EXACTLY like her boyfriend

English Dub of GG is really good imo. All the voices are fitting and I personally prefer Happy Chaos in English over the more quiet Japanese dub.

Personally, i love every fucking characcter in this series. Even happy chaos, the dude that if i see in game i will put my hands through the screen and choke the other player. I love the personality, dude talks like hes writing a book. "Is this the end?! Or a fake out?!" "Theres always act 2.." "cant get rid of me..."

As a very recent Bedman appreciator this was a really fun watch, I was looking forward to Bedman in Strive so I gave them a try in Xrd while I was waiting and just kinda accidentally stumbled upon one of my new favourite characters to play in any fighting game, everything about them clicked with me

One of my favorite character tropes is "little girl protected by monster" and thats why Strive's depiction is my favorite. Though, I admit that "redditor with a downvote on his head, stuck to a bed" is quite funny.

1:03 idk man honestly I really like the idea of punching real hard

My theory was always that Bedman is dead, but that as he woke up his brain was no longer limited by sleep (the whole reason he needed to stay asleep is that his brain is so powerful and advanced, it would overheat itself and kill him if he isn't constantly suppressed by unconsciousness), and in his last moments he reprogrammed the bed to protect his sister. Personally I find it a lot more poetic if Bedman "moved outside the circle" (the circle being Samsara) not by just choosing not to die, but instead putting his final will into the bed to carry his will. And I read the "you can't see the radiant light, you can't hear the beautiful chant, you can't feel the tender warmth" more as him realizing he is dying and is facing oblivion, never to experience the world again. But despite that, he'll struggle to move outside the circle and protect his sister with his last will. This also makes the last lines of the song "I'm here, I'm here" incredibly fucking sad because Bedman himself is gone, but his will is still there for his sister and he wants her to know that he will still look out for her. Dunno I like it more thematically. I'm not really a fan of characters cheating death, which is why I was happy that they made Jack-O stay as her own person instead of becoming revived Aria.

I think it’s cool that in guilty gear, most times when a character dies they don’t come back in later entries (at least they don’t come back the same) take justice for example, we haven’t seen her in her Gundam form since XX. Same here with bedman, they’re still bedman, but as their name in Strive suggests they aren’t the same as they were in Xrd.

Bedman is also mentioned in the Happy Chaos arcade mode and gives very interesting information about his current state. Like, his body was his physical ID but now that is erased he is a free will "signal" and take the Bed to be his new Physical ID

I swear to god Guilty's lore os so dense i have like a schizo notebook where i try to connect all the missing links we have until now

*WHAT DO YOU MEAN HIS PARENTS DIDN'T NAME HIM BEDMAN?!*

Fun fact! It's likely that Bedman's last name being Neuman is a reference to Von Neumann architecture which a concept/topic in computer science

Bedmans the whole fucking reason I’m starting up guilty gear hot damn is he cool I love him

If Faust is your favourite then I want to see you do a video on him as well, because I prefer these type of guilty gear videos rather than “THIS CHARACTER IS BROKEN 😮😮, NERF THEM” or whatever. Good vid

The fact that the lyrics is him begging God at that last part you showed and then him coming to the realization that God isnt as benevolent as people would have you believe so he takes his own death into his own hands is such a fucking good line.

8:03 "A downvote on his head" is crazy LOL

Love this guy 10:48 he 100% could have killed ariels and saved Delilah, but Happy Chaos rattling around inside ariels head prevented that, of course when the #2 strongest character gets to acually go all out they get stopped by #1 12:00 4 people and an illness killed bedman, Happy Chaos is the main orchestrator so that's why Delilah is after him

Excellent breakdown, my guy. Makes me look forward to your Faust (who is NOT dead officially confirmed by GG World) video even more if there's gonna be one!

9:24 BRO THAT WAS THE SICKEST BURN I HAVE HEARD IN MY LIFE

I appreciate that you dispelled the heinous Weezer allegations but even if Bedman's name comes from Bedeman I'd say his inspiration comes from the progressive metal band Dream Theater more than anything. His instakill is on a theater stage in a dream, their album covers are all surrealist art which fits Bedman's general reality bender vibe, his actual stage in Xrd is just called Nightmare Theater, I'd say this inspiration fits better than the idea they based a whole character around a single song from an okay at best 90s band.

The running theme with characters returning from the dead only being able to express anything of their true selves in the presence of someone they knew in life reads to me like an expression of how people can live on through the memories of others. Badman isn't himself, he's a hulking robotic murder machine, except when he's around Delilah and feels the need to protect her at all costs. Romeo's gone, but he lives through Delilah. The bed is just a vessel that may or may not carry his consciousness with it.

nice video, i love bedman! i get whiplash everytime people actually refer to bedman as romeo, its such a corny nerdy name but its his name and it fits so i love it still lol, but i guess its one of the ways to different the bed from the man???

I'm glad to see people paying attention to Bedman. He's always been my favorite, my go to ever since xrd. Brings tears to my eyes.

Romeo and Dahlia are ACTUALLY named after two of Freddie Mercury’s cats

"this will be on the test & the test is blocking this overhead" FUCKING GOLD

13:40 the fact you anounced that we needed to block an overhead and I couldn't react demonstrates why I suck at fighting games

FAUST AND BEDMAN ENJOYERS REPRESENT

Check out Bedman's talk with Axl about why he is doing what is he is doing. He specifically mentions the questions he asks of god in the Circle song, saying to Axl he wants Delilah to experience those things. Personal interpretation of the Circle song - Many aspects of the song could easily relate to the programming such as "Welcome to the infinite world. What's my endgame? There came a zero." A zero in binary represents false, off, or nothing. In this statement I think the bed is speaking to Bedman in the program in the way it knows how telling him basically there is none. Another interesting part is "One after the other, over and over again I watch the new pendulum. Where I’m left and can’t reach white black through the mold where I can find you with the access to the back of my eye lens" seems to describe his current existence, forced to effectively "reboot" anew each day with no memories but still feels a drive to protect Delilah since "And if the words that won’t go waste to rule my head" from the original Bedman, driven to seek her out from within the machine. I think Bedman copied himself into the programming of the bed, but the bed couldn't handle it and basically resets it's memory each day _including_ Bedman's copy. Now this digital ghost, this Ship of Theseus, is stuck in an endless loop of suffering where Bedman's dying thoughts are the only things it really remembers as directives and it's forced to work from within the broken bed and it's programming limitations. This causes this ghost to question it's existence since it's effectively trapped and is being severed from the emotional connection Bedman use to have with others, "I may not be able to make you smile" being an example directed at the one person he should of been able to. Essentially, the ghost is no longer Bedman in the same way Ram's dog is no longer the same dog, they lack that emotional component between individuals. This ghost can't make long term plans, can't create real solutions to it's and Delilah's problems, it can only observe and act without real understanding.

First sick video, bedman is the goat and now all I need is Answer in strive. Also fun fact Bedman? in strive still has his teeth as seen in fausts super, honestly love that they kept it. I've also seen a theory that Bedman? is trying to use deja vu to replay his moves but because hes so fucked up he only gets errors, its a cool way of explaining the mechanical change through story. Oh and on the whole observation of people in gg coming back with a strong love for someone it does seem to make sense, we even kind of saw it with i-no (as megumi) and aria (as jacko). Just makes me wonder what Happy Chaos thing would be since there are some implications of him coming back in arcafe mode but he obviously doesnt have that one special person.

Sad didn’t even mention the guitar solo in his theme. That is the best part in my opinion

for a long time i wanted to listen to bedman's dialogue in english SO BAD because i thought it was really funny how he just. Kept Going. i was not disappointed in the slightest

Ram main here to pay respects to bedman 🙏

Sick vid you highlighted exactly what I love about beddude. Looking forward to your takes on Faust when that happens.

Amazing video guilty gear has the best animation and character personalities in any fighting game

I like the part where bedman says "It's time to go to bed" and " You can't go to bed because i am the bed as in the man of the bed or bedman so stay awake but not for me because i am bedman "

also the Slayer (MY FAV gg character) vs Bedman fight in xrds story is KINO. 2 GOATs fighting. but goddamn im pissed its so short though. that scene deserved to be longer

NOOO WHYD YOU SHOW MY BOY CAUGHT LACKIN AT 9:41 We was supposed to leave that in the past😭 P.s. just wanna say this entire video is like me talking to myself about why I love bedman and his lore- you got a sub from me though for sure.

"You're still playing as his furniture" Imagine someone hearing this without context

Guilty Gear is several levels cooler than other fighting games and I'm so glad more people are talking about it Great video!

This is one of my favorite videos I've seen all year. No lie. lol. You're hilarious, man. Subscribed.

I adore Strive Bedman? Because of how just off feeling it is, its a living bed creature and with how even Deliah is freaking out as whats left of her brother goes nuts protecting his sister, then there's that goddamn movement a FRANTIC but just Unrelenting pace of attacks also that THEME for Bedman? The Circle is insanely good.

Huge W Hope your channel gets bigger, keep it up

Chief, now it's strive I think my man's fit the "In constant pain" category

the bedmana dub is literally perfect.

Lol idk why but your cadence really vibes with me and I like the pace was perfect for me so ima sub and start playing strive again

i have a hard time watching videos about guilty gear because the topics tend to get dragged out for WAY longer than they need to but this video kept my interest throughout the whole 22 minutes and two seconds. funny, informational, and very true. ten out of te n

I would have thought Bedman would be a reference to John Lennon. He even has those round glasses and goofy mushroom hairstyle.

Good to see you finally had another smash hit vid. Great to see it bro 👍

Very entertaining vid. I haven't tried the Bedman? in Strive yet so I'm glad you didn't spoil the story too much, but finding out that his real name is Romeo made me die internally.

Great video, Very entertaining !

I have to admit I wasn't very fond of Bedman during his time in Xrd, mainly because of his incel vibes (which are apparently a false alarm, thank Backyard), smarter-than-thou attitude and being a nuisance to fight against. But as soon as he got added to Strive, he (and especially Delilah) shot up in my tier list for GG characters. The thing is, I've dealt with loss of loved ones during my adolescence. A lot of it. Because of that, I really sympathize with both Romeo/the bed's motivation to protect Delilah, as I've seen what grief does to a person and it's awful to everyone involved, as well as Delilah's state of depression and anger at the one who took away her brother. As much as Another Story was animated poorly, the writing still had me sobbing for most of it and then, when I finally got to listen to The Circle, I just broke down and took a good 10 minutes to pull myself together. I may like a lot of GG characters but Bedman and Delilah are the ones I relate to the most

This is the reason why I called Bedman "Albedo."

God i hope that one day guilty gear will become what spiderverse became for animation.

Nice to see good content popping off ;)

This is literally the video of all time God I fucking love Bedman

I've known the existence of guilty gear for 2 years, but only now i got into it's history and characters 3 days ago. The first gg character i saw was bridget, the second was dizzy and the third, the one that ACTUALLY got me watching their full story mode in gg xx core+(i think), was a.b.a. and the fourth character that got me watching a 57 minute long video of only their dialogue, was bedman. I love bedman. He got me instantly curious just bcs of his design and story. Im normally not interested in characters histories in games, but a.b.a and bedman got me hooked. (Srry for my english and grammar)

the chipp info dumb genuinely made me have to take a moment cause my brain was fried

Bedman’s will is in that bed. Making it the only part of him that is left on the planet. So it has no contest for its name. It is bedman

This video is what being a introvert and someone who struggles with letting out intrusive thoughts looks like, a wild and fun ride! Subscribed 😂

love you and your content

Great video mate

I subscribed cause of the video description

Man this video was so funny, I especially like the summary of the Storyline lmao

Great video 🔝👍

This vidéo was AWESOME! I'm playing GG since the first episode's released on PS; and as much i like stories in fighting games (i'm a HUGE KoF fan and the story is a big part of why) but i prefere to lear story through endings and stuff... It's part of the reason why i never did the story modes of Rev and Rev 2 or Strive. Knowing it's mostly cinematics i'm not just up for this, i'm playing those games to PLAY; but you did such a great job that i wanna play story mode of Rev and Rev 2 before i do Strive's story mode. Thanks for the good work, and keep that shit up.

most of the guilty gear dubs aren't the best in my opinion, but Bedman in Xrd has an incredible english dub voice, it captures his character perfectly.

that shampoo line was fucking brutal

I just recently got into guilty gear again and bedman became my favorite character in the 3 weeks that we had to wait for bedman?

I love how in the middle of the video it changes from essay to life journal back to essay

Neat hidden channel, cool vid!

This video is possibly the most rewatchable video ive ever seen in my life

So Roméo and delilah are the names of two of freddy mercury's dogs,cats I don't remember.

you can take the man out of the bed, but you can't take the bed out of the man

can you see how his face has learned to tick like a clock

oh my god hes voiced by yuri lowenthal

yo thanks for the video. i really liked bedmans previous iteration & now it's ok but feels a lot like sin tbh. Still dont know how i feel about him but i guess we'll see

honestly imma like and subscribe just because youre a fellow faust fan

Awesome video

"themoneyyouspendonshampoocouldlikeypayanother'srent." - Bedman

That introduction on what Guilty Gear characters are is the most accurate way to possibly explain it to someone

Truly beautiful, I can now sleep easy tonight

Thank you for including objectively the BEST part of the song♥️ It goes so hard and they way they sing "but.." it's so fucking metal I can't stand it 😍

Chipp and Bedman mentioned, neuron activation

Guess what my fav character of all time is? HE IS INDEED PEAK FICTION

When it come to the lyrics of Bedman's theme the message is HEAVEN OR HELL LETS ROCK

God damn this video's a banger!
