I think what shows Maruki's conflicting ideal is the return of Akechi. Maruki brings Akechi back because Joker thinks that he is the only soul he couldn't save as a Phantom Thief. Yet, Akechi doesn't want that. He knows that he is just a puppet, which is the reason why he is willing to fight against Maruki with his full strength. In this moment, Joker's and Akechi's wishes clash in a way, that Maruki is unable to solve with his powers alone - if he let's Akechi live to please Joker, he will openly act against Akechi's own wish. But if he kills/removes Akechi, then he will not fulfill Joker's wish. And the fact, that he chooses Joker's wish as more important brings up a lot of questions: did he do this because he knew Joker better (Maruki never had a therapy session with Akechi after all) or maybe there was a part inside of him that wanted to remove the biggest threat to his new world, the Phantom Thieves.

[@euan112358]

Do you think Maruki's entry would've been enhanced with a mention of how he got that mindset to flee from pain? That his fiancée and her family got assaulted in her home, her parents got killed and she was badly traumatized, and Maruki was so anguished over seeing her in pain that he decided to use cognitive psience to wipe her memory of the incident, which had the side effect of wiping her memory of him? And the fact that the love of his life doesn't remember him any more just led him to bury down all his pain? Maybe not because a tragic backstory isn't that necessary for a "mad scientist", but it is something to chew over, another example of good intentions gone wrong.

[@Triforce_of_Doom]

slight correction. It wasn't an active choice at the time. His fiancé's memory being wiped was a subconscious activation of his Persona before he fully awakened to it.

[@JD10503]

Seeing him in part of it, I was a bit surprised that Seath the Scaleless didn't make the list. I mean, it's not often that you see a dragon given intelligence, over the mindless beast trope. Then again, he might have been more akin to an alchemist rather than a scientist, especially since he's after something that man has desired from the start - immortality. But a good list with some surprises in there.

[@4wheal]

In the IDW comics, Eggman loses his memory and becomes a good person called Mr Tinker, who genuinely wants to help others. The thing is, even after his memory is restored and Eggman goes back to his normal routine, it's clear he actually liked being Mr Thinker and even seems wishful about that life showing that he could be good if he wanted to do but his own ego will never let accept such a life

Actually fun fact: You can stop Mordin from curing the genophage but it requires you to kill Wrex and delete the data which will cause Bakara to die during the process.

[@JosephHeiskell]

I just finished Stellar Blade yesterday, so I do have a suggestion for an honorable mention, but it very spoiler heavy, so read at your own discretion. In the game's backstory, there was a genius named Raphael Marks. The head of Eidos created an AI named Mother Sphere to protect and guide mankind into its next stage of evolution. Mother Sphere's answer... was to redefine what "human" meant, and replace organic humans with human-like robots called Andro-Eidos. The war between organic and bio-mechanical ended with the organic humans being forced underground, with the Andro-Eidos taking the place of humans (with Mother Sphere altering their memories so that they think they were always human, which carried on into the game's present day). Raphael Marks was among the surviving humans. In the hopes of retaking the surface, he created a new AI named Raffy, and the two would begin genetically altering human subjects in a way that would make Umbrella proud. Every remaining human became the monstrous beings dubbed Naytibas, with Marks becoming the Elder Naytiba. Unfortunately for Marks, almost every other Naytiba became non-sentient and violent, meaning he had effectively killed humanity twice over. By the time of the game proper, he is trying a new solution: combine Naytiba with Andro-Eidos to create a true successor for mankind. While definitely trying to do what he thinks is the right solution, his methods are still very dubious at best. His earliest attempts, the Alpha Naytiba, failed save for the exception of Orcal. Then he tried to convince Raven, an Airborne Squad member who was unraveling the true history of humanity, to help in in his endeavor. Unfortunately, Raven was too consumed with hatred for Mother Sphere and her own kind, so she fully believed she was helping him but the Elder Naytiba suggests she was simply focusing on revenge. Finally, he handpicks and silently guides the main character, EVE... under the guise of Adam, her main ally through most of the game. Now, Adam does do genuinely good and well-intentioned things throughout the game, namely collecting hyper cells to power the city of Xion. I do believe he is being genuine about humanity's survival be they organic or robotic, and is perfectly understanding if EVE choses not to fuse with him (well, boss fight not withstanding). But that doesn't change the fact he created not one but two AI, oversaw genetic experiments, was the first successful subject of said experiments, and planned to fuse himself with EVE, all of which was for some sort of forced evolution. I genuinely believe he'd make it pretty high on the list by scope of his actions alone, particularly with how every time he tried to fix a previous mistake it just made even more of a mess.

Kokonoe Mercury - Blazblue Relius is the more obvious pick and I did write a comment earlier about it, but I think Kokonoe is a better person, she's not perfect mind you but she does try. She went into science because her mother was a sorceress who was killed by Terumi, and her father a literal cat wasn't the best dad but yet she still tries to keep the family memorabilia as much as she can. Her labcoat is actually a Kaka clan cloak, the same clan her father was a part of and her finisher is a sciency version of her mother's. Her mother summons meteors to rain down upon the battlefield, while Kokonoe uses machines to drag a meteor down to the planet. As far as inventions, you have Iron Tager, the reprogramming of Lambda-11 and a lot of her attacks basically combine science with magic. I also like her personality, she can be blunt and sarcastic but when you get to know her she can be a compassionate individual.

40:36- I cast Detect Magic on the supercomputer: nothing happens. I cast Detect Magic on the enchanted supercomputer: it glows! I scry for magic phenomenon: don't see the alien fleet overhead, but do see some nymphs in a stream. I scry for alien phenomenon: I see the alien fleet overhead, but unfortunately miss the nymphs.

Wesker has managed to do the craziest thing yet on one of these countdowns: take over the ending and steal our chance at a 'what's coming up next' hint. Truly, the maddest of all mad scientists.

[@rodan9773]

HE'S MADE ANOTHER ONE....FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. Lol respect and keep up the epic work.

[@a-bomb777]

If Dr Eggman and Neo Cortex aren't on this, I'm gonna puke

[@gunknightben1829]

What does half a puke look like?

[@fireblaster4073]

Kinda sad that the founder of a Corporation based around Lobotomies isn't on the list, given everything "A" did during the backstory of the game. But given how explaining the background behind Project Moon's first major game can sometimes take as long as this entire countdown, I'm not surprised...especially because they're a somewhat niche game company to begin with.

36:37 Final Fantasy 7 Machiniabridged was so funny. So nostalgic. Also good to have back on Count down Green Scorpion.

Personal honorable mention: Dr. Coyle from Arms. Introduced in version 5 and called also The Rad Scientist which, first off, great pun there. Being one of ARMS Labs most... ambitious scientists, her hobby is also her job, making it what Biff refers to as an obsession. And like all of the scientists on the list, she is defined by what she creates. Them being a DNA slime thingy called Helix, a full robot version of Spring Man, and a freaky looking robot head of a cyber arm called Lokjaw. But she's also a rather proactive scientist similar to Wesker, even kicking Max Brass' ass in seconds, and rocking a purple, green and gold aesthetic with crazy flair. Her playstyle centers around her maneuverability, capable of flight and teleportation unique to the other ARMS fighters, and more aggression given her ability to duplicate arms. And beyond her explosion based Lokjaw, she also has an electric Parabola and an ice based Brchuck. But it is her last known creation that gives Coyle her title... her masterpiece Hedlok. This freaky tiki can control ARMS users while replicating their arms too. And in the Grand Prix where she is the final boss, she WILLINGLY lets Hedlok fuse with her, only to throw a tantraum and smash it herself if she loses! While she's more obscure than most of these mad scientists, due to Arms not being as big a name as Sonic the Hedgehog or Ratchet and Clank, she's still one of the more unique ones. Similar to Wesker, or another honorable mention Kokonoe from Blazblue, my favorite part about her is that she is a scientist who is also a great fighter, going beyond the stereotype of the passive genius while using her creativity to her benefit. Her theme song, Name Redacted, is as catchy as it is ominous, mixing rock and roll with chilling vocals, some of which I wonder if they are provided by her voice actress, Donna Bu-wait, WHAT??! Donna Burke?? The original Angela Orosco? Claudia Wolf? Freaking iDROID??? The singer of Snake Eater and Gods And Men?!! That might be the craziest thing about the Rad Scientist!

I'm now curious about Dr. Eggman's parents and what they were like.

[@TheGrinningViking]

The monster's name is Adam Frankenstein. You inherit your father's last name, like it or not.

[@NealCamerlengo]

Honorable mentions is Dr. Klamp from Parasite Eve 1 and Águila Setme of The School from the Super Robot Taisen Original Generation series.

[@ajerjavec4723]

I think Otto from psychonauts 2 is a mad scientist, who is more or less a good guy, but the fact that he basically left one of his friends brain in a jar for decades without checking it and created device that basically turned his friend into a psycho who destroyed her country

[@BrandonSwinney-j2v]

when you started talking about pokemon, I immediately thought you were going to talk about Dr. Kaminko from xd and all his weird, mostly useless inventions, like the "energy-saving" fridge that only turns on when someone's in front of it so they never figure out why the food inside keeps spoiling, or the unhealthy sandals

[@BrandonSwinney-j2v]

also i'm surprisedyou didn't crack about all those egg puns at the end of number 2

[@gimmeyourrights8292]

Relius Clover would've been too perfect for this list, he turned his wife and daughter into cybernetic puppets, sees people as just objects or tools for his research, and performs experiments on everyone in his Astral Heat.

[@crimsonflame2k]

I’m not gonna lie, I completely forgot about Relius. Tho knowing Oscar and his track record with BlazBlue, I can see why he might’ve slipped past him.

[@keyblademasterclark]

HE IS THE VERY MODEL OF A SCIENTIST SALARIAN!

[@cemiller]

Number 3 is the first character in a long time that actually made me feel disappointed to be fighting against. I knew about the general idea of his story and I still felt gutted when I had to fight him especially when him and the player are just fist fighting at the end of the final battle.

[@nameabsent]

One more worthy of a look is Wilhelm Totenkopf Strasse, AKA General Deathshead, specifically looking at his work in Wolfenstein: The New Order. IYKYK

[@maltesegeek1]

A really interesting and good video. Surprised Professor E. Gadd didn’t get an honourable mention.

[@symantares9171]

"It's Fraunkunshteen!"

[@shadowlinkbds]

This list was made in a LAAAAAAAAABBBBBBB!!!!!!

[@jaketaller8567]

I see what you did there.

[@agentredhead4612]

Man, I wish I’d caught this list live. It might be the record for the highest number of series I know or characters I’ve heard of/predicted actually making the list.

[@gingerkays7362]

Pre-watching prediction: Izuka from the Telius Fire Emblem games. That heartless MONSTER saw a drug that brainwashed, maddened, and shortened the lifespan of anyone who it was force fed to as his “greatest work”

[@KigaiOkasu]

My personal honorable mention: Kokonoe from BlazBlue.

[@asmodeus58XX]

After putting Barabtos on a list, I wonder if Harold from Tales of Destiny 2 is here.
