Omori-Overcoming Something

[@FZone96]

It's so weird seeing SUNNY and OMORI separated like that. Yet I love how OMORI quickly turned around when SUNNY broke the lightbulb like "What the hell are you doing?!"

0:44 After the rest of this cutscene I'm pretty sure this shocked face is Sunny realising basil's life is in danger. (Which might be part of why he finally faces his fears & the truth.)

[@supremeoverlord0]

So do you think that would somehow imply that Sunny was somehow aware of Basil's thoughts in the cutscene prior?

[@BigBugBiggieBug]

@@supremeoverlord0 Yeah! Somewhat, at least. He saw that Basil's behaviour was getting more and more unstable and erratic. Sunny knew about his grandma, had seen his breakdown the day prior over his move & even while suppressing the memory he knew their trauma was connected in some way. I can't say he exactly knew what was going to happen... but he likely had a hunch.

6:45 this moment was so powerful to me. Sunny finally opens his eyes and looks straight at the body after all that 6 minutes of calming down and persisting to gather the courage to do it. I like how determined he looks.

[@Zakal2]

And mind you that is the first time in years he has that small white glow in his eyes again, just like everyone else. No more the eyes of a shut-in that only sees what suits him best.

[@rodrigotkm8429]

Courage isn't the indefinitely absence of fear, dread and distress. Courage is facing your fears.

[@rodrigotkm8429]

Now that I thought about it, courage the scared dog is the perfect example of it. Despite he shitting bricks of fear and literally crying of it, he never let anyone down by deciding to not face those nightmares of existences.

[@ubilwilbur4775]

This game is about courage. The good ending is when Sunny gains to courage to accept what happened and to tell the truth to his friends.

[@nickandbarry1777]

@@ubilwilbur4775 The secret ending feels like the best ending, bc no matter the outcome. Both Basil and Sunny can move on, something would've wanted that.

[@Hadaron]

5:33 - Sunny takes 143 damage. 1-4-3 used to be shorthand for I love you, representing the number of letters in each word. But it hurts Sunny to know that, despite her love, she’s dead now. It hurts, and it takes everything he has to persist and overcome.

[@miau5878]

she also does 17 damage after which is 14+3 but that might be a stretch

[@cosmogcrusader5546]

Keep in mind: Unlike all the other fear bosses, Sunny doesn't start off feeling afraid. He knew he was gonna have to face the truth sooner or later.

[@Noonereally0]

A light bulb turning on symbolizes having an idea or maybe a memory. So a light bulb turning off may mean forgetting an idea, or maybe forgetting it on purpose and repressing it. Sunny destroyed the black light bulb means he's choosing to remember Mari's death and to confront it. In black space there was no light bulb, because one of the strangers in the beginning of black space say Omori took it, and when you learn the truth you get a light bulb and use it to see the photo of Sunny killing Mari. The details and symbolism in this game are amazing And also something I noticed the moves Sunny learns to deal with the fears, like calm down and focus, all change. Sunny breathes and focuses first and when he persists his eyes open a bit and when he's finally ready to overcome he fully opens his eyes because he's ready to overcome and confront his trauma

[@fireking6308]

The idea behind the black lightbulb is confirmed by BRANCH CORAL in Deeper Well.

[@MisterJohnDoe]

I'm pretty sure the black light bulb represents repression of memories, so I guess so.

[@vellycanelly7429]

Sunny’s wake up in white space is chilling on its own. You can automatically see the fear in his eyes.

[@msd9485]

Poor sunny honestly Some people may say that its his fault but actually, it's really no one's fault, it was an accident. Everyone has accidents, some are problematic, some aren't. It happens, at least once in a life time, but eventually you'll have to move on from it, no matter how much it hurts, there's always light at the end of the tunnel

[@fireking6308]

"There's always light at the end of the tunnel" can also apply to the bad end.

[@ortherner]

i mean technically it is his fault. He could’ve called 911 or told his friends about what happened but instead with the help of basil tries to stage it as a suicide. Although sunny wasn’t probably thinking straight if ya know, he killed his sister.

[@magentapurpleyap5566]

@@ortherner That was Basil's idea. He was just there stressed out not knowing what to do.

[@pepper9483]

[@Salibascored]

Sunny left Basil to suffer for 4 years

[@FirstnameLastname-sb3hj]

Something I haven't seen anyone mention. During the cutscene with Basil at the beginning, when it zooms out, you can see the silhouette of the lightbulb with Basil inside of it.

[@froakie1404]

The fact that something just stands in front of you motionless in it’s normal form was maybe the scariest part for me tbh besides the big reveal of what something really is

[@nevardthegreat6440]

Gotta say, this is a very underrated boss battle, possibly my favorite in the game.

[@lux8083]

Some other thing to notice here, is that inside the lightbulb after the fight is now white (or transparent), contrast to black inside of the white space's light bulb.

[@Platinums]

Interesting thing I noticed sunny keeps his eyes shut the whole fight except when hes afraid

[@NCG337]

Actually, in all the battles when he's asleep or hallucinating, his eyes are closed in his neutral sprite, only in fights in the real world is when his eyes are open (Oh and also in the Recyclepath for some reason).

Exactly. Every part of it is so heart-stoppingly horrific. The way it tips you off to what it is with the text and then confirms your fears that it's Sunny's worst nightmare, the way you have to hold out for so long, it's just such a good way of emulating the sheer terror Sunny felt there and how unbearable it is to have to look at the corpse of someone you care about.

[@kyubeyz_7062]

This is probably my favorite sequence in the game. The way the music is just continued noise that gets higher and lower over time but never ceases. It always manages to get my breathing to stagger and it reminds me of how something appears in the game as well. Something never really does anything when he encounters it. It just stands in one place completely static until it vanishes when we get close to it. You don’t know why but the mere presence of it is enough to make you terrified. It’s what makes the reveal of its true form so powerful, because it makes so much sense yet it’s so sudden. From the very start of the battle sunny is confident and not afraid. He has all of the skills he needs to deal with his 3 fears. And as the player you also find comfort in knowing that you’ve done all of this before. And so the game immediately throws you into a situation you’ve never seen before and it creates an “oh fuck” moment from both sunny and the player. You can hardly see it but you still can tell what it is. You don’t want to believe it. And when you see the truth it physically hurts. It just makes it all the more powerful that it ends up being dealt with with the same formula as the other fears.

[@Idk0mor0]

You feel like your life is in danger. Your lungs tighten up. Your heart beats out of your chest. Your fingers won't stop trembling. You hear your breathing begin to steady. You hear your heart begin to steady. You gather all your courage. and learn to OVERCOME.

[@jdjdksnndbsnd]

this is probably gonna sound stupid and this also probably makes no sense with the storyline but whatever (SPOILERS!!!!!) i think when sunny destroyed the lightbulb in whitespace, it destroyed a layer of protection. whitespace was made to get away from the truth and sunny sealed that away in blackspace. the lightbulb in whitespace symbolizes an idea, and now that it's gone, so is headspace/dreamworld (i think?). since that layer of protection is gone, sunny is forced to face what he sealed away and he had to overcome his fears. idk if this is actually whats going on but its interesting to think about ;;

[@Natoursofcourse]

Its moreso that the light bulb is the repression of an idea, which you can probably guess is mari's death. Destroying this lightbulb sets the trauma and repression free

[@kyubeyz_7062]

I think the lightbulb is a metaphor for how his trauma lingers over him no matter how much he tries to escape it. The most he can do is repress and contain it. Hence why the lightbulb grows brighter and brighter as he gets closer to the truth. It becomes harder to ignore it.

I actually lost my shit when I first played the part at 4:58 because 3am me thought that the faint outline of Mari looked like that old smile.jpeg dog creepypasta, an image that was buried deep in my brain for almost a decade, but resurfaced somehow with that white blob. I actually thought the devs put something like that in to freak people out, and this happens before you know the truth, so you're seeing all this imagery at once speculating on what actually happened.
