Twomads life was lived at seemingly two times speed. Dude speedran the KZbin game. In 5 years he went from nothing, to viral meme, to collaborating with tons of KZbin stars, to moving to LA, going off the deep end with drugs, allowing an already unchecked mental health state to dive, sexually assaulting people, losing all his friends and dying. It's hard to not feel bad for the person he was and potential he had. But not for the person he became in the end and what he did. Very conflicting character, much like his demise. But someone I feel could have been saved at one time

[@johnernest5843]

He was a completely chaotic person, a 'jokester', and people mocking his death somewhat turns this into his final joke/show, especially considering that he passed away while playing Overwatch.

[@michaelboyle7281]

I think it's certainly alright to make jokes about his death, the way he talked and joked about other people's death, the "I got some epic shooting vids I can show you." Stuff like that is what makes it easy to laugh at the jokes, knowing if Twomad could he'd probably come back from the dead to make a joke about him being dead. At the same time I couldn't agree more with the bittersweet feeling of it all. I only knew him from the coronavirus IH video, then a few months ago heard about the other main horrible stuff, but seeing someone pass away at 23 to a drug overdose when it might not've been intentional is always sad. I'm curious if an autopsy will come out, cause ketamine isn't typically a drug people overdose and die on, if it shows there was fentanyl in his system he probably just got laced drugs and took too much without knowing it was too much. I feel bad for his family and people who cared about him who wanted to see him get better, cause now there is no way to see if any progress could've came for him

[@goopah]

[@traphimawari7760]

He died of overdose, it was probably from his meds to keep him sane. He must have been actually just suffering from mental illness the whole time and he just made content with it for us to laugh with or at. His downfall was probably a result of a manic state he went through due to not having taken his meds, I wouldn't go as far as to call him a villain that's like calling the joker out for murdering those spoiled rich brats in self defense after being bullied for his chronic laughter, in other words twomad was just a victim of his own circumstances, that's unlike most villain's who are actually evil, I even saw a video today comparing him to edp445 when the two of them were hardly similar in circumstances let alone the same crimes, plus twomad was young he was only 23, he had plenty of time to redeem himself and grow as a person, he probably couldn't take the pressure any more, he didn't even have anyone to be with him in his depressing times, like again the report stated he was found dead after a while when he stopped responding to texts and calls from his acquaintances, he never had anyone close at hand to keep him in check. It truly is sad to lose him despite his "opinions" he was just crazy not evil.

His streams on E bikes gave me the confidence and information about transporting myself without a car. I got my first e bike and it changed my life. He said he had schizophrenia and other issues. As a fan, it was hard to know what was real and a meme with his personal life. I hope anyone he has hurt will be able to find peace and the help they need. I don't think he deserved to die.

[@mozzqueen96]

I do appreciate you making this video, Sumito. I feel like I had a very similar reaction to yours. I didn't even know he was gone at first, I really thought all the memes I saw were jokes coming from something he started, like a video or tweet. The whole situation had me feeling all kinds of ways - he clearly wasn't "all there" in terms of mental health - whether caused by drugs or an underlying condition, I don't know. I was torn, too, seeing all the memes making fun of his death. Obviously he's done some horrible things, but I really think those were results of whatever drugs he was on or whatever condition he had. Will I defend him? No, I didn't follow him closely enough to know or really understand what he got up to. But I also don't think it's right for thousands of people to clown on him literal hours after his death. It really is a gray area. Thanks again for making this video. It's been too hectic of a 24 hour stretch online and doomscrolling twitter wasn't making me feel any better, just kinda...yeah, bummed.

He was definitely on a downward spiral and I could tell something was gonna happen eventually. But I thought maybe he’d make it at least to his 30, cuz I’ve seen people hit rock bottom and pick themselves back up but, unfortunately he didn’t. Not that it makes it any better, but I hope it was an accidental OD and not on purpose. No one should feel guilty because no one could control his life but him. But I hope we can learn from this. The signs were clear (to me at least), and if we can encourage people y’know doing lots of drugs and spiraling downward to get help, maybe they can choose to get better. I’m praying for his family, friends, and loved ones. Although people think he was just a funny man, or a huge nuisance, he had so many that loved him and could’ve had many more years to give to those he loved.

Not only that, but we’re forgetting that he was literally just going into adulthood. For fuck sake, my manager is 23 and he acts far more like a 16 yr old.

​@@sigzbro he was an adult but I'd be hard pressed to say he was grown. It's not like once you turn 18 you suddenly understand life and how to go about life. It's different for everybody and some people get old and never grow up, it's seen in all sorts of adults we grew up with in our lives, see it in the habits of our parents and coworkers and friends. Yeah he made his decisions; but when I was 23 I was also falling apart mentally and abusing alcohol and becoming a shitty human, it didn't change until I was 26. it sucks that the opportunity for him to grow out of it, for him to heal and get better is forever gone from him. 23 is still incredibly young, and not many years to grow and understand what life is really about and how to right al the wrongs in your head, we deserve a chance to change, heal and seek amends at any point of our lives.

[@thelongestdongrod190]

​@@sigzbrobut seeing your other comments you're either a teenager who doesn't know anything, or an adult who also never grew up and understood much. So I hope that you are given a chance to change and seek forgiveness for the horrible decisions and things I know you've done in your life.

[@sigzbro]

@@thelongestdongrod190 LOL I have done nothing horrible in my life and I have no plans to. Don't project YOUR life onto mine.

Never seen one of ur vids before but i was looking for info on this and u gave basically everything there is to know lol thanks alot +1sub

the risk of success at a young age.

[@shumatsunokami]

Nope, thats what happen when you are mentally unstable and gain popularity.

[@chippydru4023]

enabling by millions of views, schizophrenia, drugs, living alone, and many more factors. He did some terrible things, but that was only possible due to neglect and enabling

[@thetrashcanman7537]

The risk of homelessness at a young age is the same fk that

The risk of trying to cook when your ingredients are all shite.

[@h.ar.2937]

hey man thanks for the video, it's one of the most informative one I've seen so far on KZbin about the situation

[@deadsaneartistfreelancer3281]

I like that your thumbnail reminds me of the PS1 Game cases. The way you simply put your name on the side like that.... Or maybe it's that TWOMAD does well as a PS1 game cover.

[@SumitoMedia]

took me weeks to come to a design I liked enough to use on every thumbnail, thank you

[@casualnoir2323]

Hey man, Im a big fan of the Channel! As someone about to turn 23 it hits hard to see the story explained. I really appreciate the hard work on these videos brother

[@LegoDork]

This shit's rough. At least it was only his life that he took. My uncle used to purposefully drive drunk on occasion in suicide attempts. Fortunately he has sorted his shit out.

[@Derinrin]

and here I am still thinking about Etika as if it was just yesterday...

[@MagnusAduro]

It did not help that Jameskii decided to make this call out post with absolutely no proof or evidencea nd made himself into the clown for the week.

[@bojkenoven]

I really do feel for Jameskii, I do. But you're absolutely right, Jameskii was just flooding his own socials with narrow contexts of information in an absolutely scattered mess, and then having those vague contexts "backed up" by a few other content creators. I believe him, but jesus, he needs some help before he goes public with that info, not immediately jump on the bandwagon while the body's still warm.

[@bee4590]

well it looks like the james dude just posted proof

[@cheatexp]

really good video. i'm glad you covered everything you could about him, including the reasons people liked him before, without dismissing the damage he's done. hope you're able to process the situation better at some point down the line

[@consensus889]

He did 'joke' about being on Ketamine but then corrected himself saying he's going to be later, on his last stream

[@itsmytoast666]

Ketamine's some heavy stuff. Big popular in the metal and punk communities. I, somehow, missed it - even tho it was always talked about and done around me. Like a "Oh, we did K last night," or "Gonna get some K later." I was never involved in the doing, but always heard - I figured it was a sign, man.

[@mongrel_97]

@@itsmytoast666 it's very popular in ireland and UK. turns you intto a zombie from what i've seen. as in like heroin, it just knocks you out. fuck all that shit, i made cannabis and drinking a bit of bad habit already, i can't imagine myself on harder shit. it must be horrible in the long run.

[@LootMaster007]

Thank you Sumito, this was a really good video, a lot of other videos I watched about this didn't really explain the whole mental episode he had. Shame you weren't able to find anything about the drama with Jameskii.

[@FavineMoore]

Damn. RIP. Dude did bring real joy during the lock down. I'll just leave it at that.

[@TheObicobiHD]

Good to see an empathetic angle on this whole situation. Really tragic overall with hella potential. I am certainly going to miss Twomad, the editing brudda. Bababooey, Shashumga. RIP 💜

Twomad went to Oregon. Oregon is a scary place where a lot of drugs are legal. He got stuck in America, couldn't go home without his passport. Sad state of affairs. I wish he could've visited family, and got better.

"Orb of darkness." Is a wild descriptor. 21:12

Thank you for the nuanced, fairly thorough take on this passing, Sumito. Hope you feel a bit better after a bit of time, these heavy topics are always hard to digest.

I JUST found out about this. Perfect upload time

[@thejimjimjim7]

man, you did a great job here. very respectful. you're a really bright guy.

[@BigHatStudios]

Bare in mind a lot of people will be commenting way before finding out the terrible allegations, keep that in mind as you scroll!

[@pavichokche]

Thanks for posting this! As someone out of the loop, it's comforting to get news like this from you.

[@sparfRF]

It's crazy for Jameskii to wait for someone to die before saying anything. So brave bro. 1v1inv a grave.

[@SmoothTurtle840]

bro you don’t just come forward with that shit when you’re dealing with a schizo

[@nattythepanda4692]

My brother in christ, if Jameskii is right, he was dealing with someone actively attempting to take people out while going out himself. He would be in danger.

[@jazzy4830]

Probably bait but if there was a legitimate police investigation against him and they wanted any case to stand up in court the best thing to do is not to talk about it publicly. Now that he's dead however there will be no case so keeping quiet doesn't really serve a purpose.

[@shumatsunokami]

​@@SmoothTurtle840 yes you do

[@Shizn0id]

@@nattythepanda4692 and the right thing to do was nothing? if the guy was so afraid about twomad going after him why didn't he call the cops and show the the evidence so they could deal with him? you dont protect yourself and others from an unhinged dangerous person by sitting on the sidelines with your thumb up your ass.

[@NocturnalAquarist]

Yea its a sad situation no matter how you slice it. I honestly had no idea who he was before this video, thank you for being respectful Sumito, you are a mentalgen and a scholar, love ya keep up the good work

"Everyone knew who twomad was at this point" Ive literally never heard of this man till yesterday

Hate him or not, I think he would had enjoyed the memes, he wouldn't let death stop the humor so even without hate the memes are good

nah he used to be funny but before he died he was making the most edgy jokes imaginable that just werent funny

Guess we won't be seeing him tommorow

[@idontknowhowtocallmyaccoun402]

Thank you fot this video, feels like i needed it after i found out.

[@purpledanielgamer8603]

When someone wants to kill themselves, we give em support and endless love. But when a man who's obviously having mental emergency for months on end wants to kill someone we don't say a thing. Two mads videos helped shape my confidence as a person and he ran lockdown. It's a weird feeling now he's passed... Such a weird situation

[@doomeddog5589]

the reason why we give those people who want to kill themselves support is because they are accepting help i dont think twomad wasnt accepting almost any help but i might be wrong he defo should have got help but the things he did were actually vile causing stress on millions of people

[@purpledanielgamer8603]

yeah, but idk... all i can think is how did shit get so bad@@doomeddog5589
