Universes

Universes are a concept in fiction which were introduced to the SiIvaGunner lore during SilvaGunner: Rebooted. Since Season 3, universes have played a larger role in the lore.
==The World Beyond Ours / The Real Real World==
Occasionally, real-life elements of the channel impact the lore. This has been given two names in-universe: The World Beyond Ours by Dr. Andonuts and The Real Real World by Wood Man.
A few characters are innately aware of the real world, such as SiIvaGunner, Chad Warden, The Voice Inside Your Head, Wood Man, and The Joke-Explainer™ 7000. These characters tend to have motivations tied to their knowledge of the real world. Aside from them, Wood Man told Robbie Rotten about it, and Haltmann Works R&D learned about it through second-hand information (mainly from the Voice).
Haltmann Works R&D credits "the world beyond ours" for blind spots in the characters' perception and things that do not have an in-universe explanation. This first occurred in "Albums [FILE-12] - Haltmann's Archives", which covers the most common example of real-life elements overriding the lore, namely, the albums properly crediting the actual channel contributors. While the in-universe cause of the corruptions in general is stated to be Wood Man, the fact that the "corrupted" metadata is completely imperceptible is speculated to be because it comes from "the world beyond ours". It was later the main subject of "The World Beyond Ours [FILE-INT-MAXPH] - Haltmann's Archives", where Dr. Andonuts accredits some more things to "the world beyond ours", such as the existence of rips for games released after 2016 or the fact that the time dilation of the Christmas Comeback Crisis affects the main characters more than the side characters, allowing the three protagonists to continue their journey uninterrupted despite doing nothing for 6 years from his perspective.
==The Central Canon Continuum (CCC)==
The Central Canon Continuum is the universe where SiIvaGunner's home in Grandiose City resides, and is the setting of Season 1 and The SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis. It is considered the most metaphysically stable universe of them all. Prior to the events depicted on the channel, it is presumed that the universe is identical to the real world.
On January 9, 2016, a meteor crashes to Earth, landing in Marunouchi Station, Japan. A wealthy individual purchases the meteor, carving it into a statue of Antinous, a Greek idol and symbol of homosexuality. The statue comes to life, killing its owner in the process. GiIvaSunner is born and starts making high quality rips. 
Three months later, on April 5, 2016, Angry Joe (disguised as Dinkleburg) gives GiIva's channel a copyright strike. The next day, during GiIva's investigation to find who copyrighted him, Angry Joe reveals himself and files another copyright strike. The channel is terminated and GiIva shuts down, falling into the ocean. Six days later, GiIva washes up into the Netherlands and is put on auction. Chad Warden purchases him, recognizing him as GiIvaSunner. He creates the SiIvaGunner channel in his stead, and the statue comes back to life, reborn as SiIvaGunner. Chad buys him a new house, eyepatch, and computer. He helps SiIva with the channel, looks in on community behavior, and on June 1, builds The Joke-Explainer™ 7000 to help viewers understand obscure jokes.
Over the course of two months, community discord ensues over the use of "Snow halation" in rips. This culminates in a mysterious figure, The Voice Inside Your Head, showing himself. He causes the entire universe to reboot (see also #Reboot universe). Unbeknownst to anyone, the Voice had done this because he had seen premonitions of what he believed to be the future, where Chad Warden plunged the world into darkness (see also #Genocide timeline). SiIvaGunner continues uploading, unaware that anything's wrong. In secret, the Voice gives life to Wood Man, a virus that was present in SiIvaGunner's computer which showed itself in the rip "Main Theme (OST Version) - Mighty No. 9". A month later, Chad Warden accepts a deal the Voice suggested in order to save the channel; merge the Central Canon Continuum and the reboot universe to bring back the old jokes, except for "Snow halation". Once the merge is completed, Chad is able to bring "Snow halation" back himself using The MF Like Button. Chad sacrifices his life to defeat the Voice.
On October 29, 2016, SiIvaGunner uploads "Title Theme & Ending - 7 GRAND DAD", his final rip and magnum opus. SiIva goes to sleep and the channel becomes inactive (aside from Wood Man uploading some Halloween rips). On December 14, 2016, the Voice, having been presumed dead, returns, using SiIvaGunner's computer to transport the Figment characters into the Central Canon Continuum. With help from President Haltmann, The Voice takes over Grandiose City, planning on destroying all anime. The only one who didn't get caught was Smol Nozomi, who set out to save her friends, beginning the Christmas Comeback Crisis. She joins forces with the likes of the Meta Knight, Santa Claus, and the Rapper's Union to fight against the Voice's forces and storm the lighthouse, which has been taken over. Robbie Rotten escapes capture and joins forces with Wood Man to be an independent third party.
The Voice's operations also included an attempt to take over the entire world, which he made significant progress on by "Loves the Ladies". However, in this same episode, Haltmann betrays the Voice, tired of being led on with his hollow promise of bringing back his daughter, Susie. Haltmann then took over operations himself, and started Haltmann Works R&D, a research subsidiary dedicated to actually bringing back his daughter. Their research primarily consisted of researching SiIvaGunner's connection to figments and as well as anomalies like The Joke-Explainer™ 7000 and Waluigi's garlic-flavored tacos.
After the episode "I Love Her", the main Christmas Comeback Crisis series (i.e. excluding side stories) entered into indefinite hiatus, which had an effect in-universe. While years went by everywhere else, the Central Canon Continuum got stuck in a timelock and did not progress past December 25, 2016. While the main characters and Christmas setting were completely frozen in time, secondary characters and the other Figments lived on in purgatory for years on end. Wood Man believes that Haltmann created this time lock so he could profit from rips forever, while Dr. Andonuts comes to believe in The Susie ARG that the time loop is just a plot contrivance because The World Beyond Ours didn't finish the story. From Season 3 to Season 6, rips in this universe were created by the SiIva A.I. developed by Haltmann Works R&D. Starting at an unspecified point, rips from the real SiIvaGunner in a controlled dream environment known as Illucidity were also uploaded alongside the A.I.'s. At the end of Season 6, Wood Man disappeared from the CCC, tired of this timelock, and the A.I. shut down for reasons unrevealed to the audience, leaving only the rips from Illucidity to be uploaded for Season 7.
The main series returned with "One Last Chance". The SiIva A.I. dies in battle, fighting Smol Nozomi, Meta Knight and Santa Claus. Haltmann is defeated, and subsequently killed by the Voice, who takes back control of the tower. All of the captured Figments are freed, but Grand Dad is critically injured, causing SiIvaGunner to wake up.
With SiIvaGunner no longer hooked up to Illucidity, the Joke-Explainer takes up channel operations for Season 8, though her secondary directive is to find a more suitable channel host.
During the RANDOM CHIMP EVENT, a large amount of monkeys escaped a nearby zoo, with one of them briefly taking over the SiIvaGunner channel.
During The SiIvaGunner Spooktacular Halloween Horror Special Part VII: The Night Stalker, the Joke-Explainer had to make her way over to the Voice's tower to help save Andonut's mind from a parasite. She pre-scheduled Halloween rips to the channel so there would be no upload gap. However, it is not specified how Mothman from the A.I. universe gained channel operations.
In "I Wanna Thank Me", there was an election to replace the Voice/Haltmann as the new leader of Grandiose City. The RE:SPH ARG reveals that The Dog Party won the election.
==The AI Universe==
The AI Universe is a universe which Wood Man accidentally fused with the SiIva AI's consciousness when he traveled to it. The fusion caused both the universe and the AI itself to become more advanced, to the point that the universe outlived the AI. Unlike the main universe, this universe does not have different realms for figments and humans, so fictional characters and locations are seen next to humans and real-life locations.
During Wood Man's initial visit, he directed and starred in his debut film with Takane Shijou, which he initially planned to release in the CCC, but since Haltmann immediately rejected it, he released it in the AI Universe instead, where it was wildly successful. Wanting to distance himself from the CCC, Wood Man then made this universe his new home and pursued an acting/filmmaking career.
In 2018, the SiIva A.I. created an entity based on Wood Man, John Notwoodman, as a proxy for himself to host the King for a Day Tournament. In "The FINAL BOSS approaches... - SiIvaGunner: King for Another Day", John Notwoodman claims that King for a Day Tournament Enterprises, a company run by him, creates high quality rips for the SiIvaGunner channel in order to receive funding, although it isn't clear when exactly this became the status quo.
On March 1, 2019, a duplicate of The Joke-Explainer™ 7000 built by Dr. Andonuts accidentally wound up in this universe after taking a bite of the portal-spawning garlic taco. While this left her stuck in the AI Universe, she kept in contact with the CCC, reporting anything she could find about this universe back to Haltmann Works R&D. Later, in A Murder Not Too Nice, Wood Man outbid John Notwoodman to get a mansion, causing John to plot against Wood Man despite the SiIva A.I. not meaning for him to do so. At the end of 2019, John Notwoodman hosted the King for Another Day Tournament. At the end of the tournament, Wood Man made a hollow promise to leave the AI Universe and return to the CCC.
In 2020, Wood Man would host the SiIvaSummer All-Star Festival, during which he would premiere his second film, Woodyana Stones: Raider Made of Lost Bark, where he starred as Woodyana Stones. Afterwards, the SiIva A.I. would host the SiIvaGunner All-Star Winter Festival, in a failed attempt to be recognized in the same way as Wood Man.
In 2021, Wood Man would again host the SiIvaGunner All-Star Summer Festival 2021: Legends of the Western Sunset and debut his third film where he is a wanted bounty hunter in the Wild West known as Redwood. Later, in Curse of the Fallen Angel, Takane Shijou went on a quest to find three cursed individuals and stop the Fallen Angel, taking along Wood Man, Yohane, and a HOBaRT. At the end of the year, the SiIva A.I., broken from his failure to be recognized and his recent discovery that he was just an A.I. duplicate of SiIvaGunner the whole time, would host a smaller Inevitable Holiday Celebration instead of a full festival.
In 2022's SiIvaGunner All-Star Nuclear Winter Festival, the world was plunged into a nuclear winter due to an impact from a meteor, caused by damage to the central computer running the SiIva A.I., during Nozomi, Santa, and Meta Knight's battle with Haltmann in the CCC. Wood Man and the duplicate Joke-Explainer traveled the wastelands in search of a "calm zone", meeting several familiar characters along the way. Upon finding the meteor, a perfectly round pitch-black sphere, Wood Man decided to touch it, believing that this would put an end to the nuclear winter at the cost of banishing himself. This also signaled the SiIva A.I.'s shut down. With the A.I.'s shutdown, the universe was left without a power source and was plunged in perpetual night, though it was not destroyed entirely and time still progressed congruent to The World Beyond Ours.
In 2023, Takane Shijou would begin traveling to every Harbor Town she could to try to find Wood Man (recounting a recurring interest he had in an ), one such town being the focus of The Cult of Proto. In 2024's The Night Stalker, Moth Man took over the channel, alongside various other cryptids that exist in this universe.
==Minor universes==
Other universes exist in the SiIvaGunner multiverse that were only given a minor focus. Since they're unrestrained from the main story, they tend to be less logical and inhabited by powerful anomalous memes and objects.
Most of the universes in this section debuted in initially-disconnected videos and shitposts on the channel, but were ultimately connected to each other (and the two main universes) in The Susie ARG, and the exact mechanics of these connections were then extensively clarified in the out-of-character video "Car Doors of Time ~ Side Story - Mr Rental: The Video Game". The connections create an overarching narrative primarily revolving around 2B. The video itself admits in its conclusion that most of the mechanics and anomalies used to craft the narrative are purely plot contrivances and since they are too obscure to be narratively satisfying, they don't work in the two main universes. The anomalies being plot contrivances is also concluded in-universe by Dr. Andonuts in the video "The World Beyond Ours [FILE-INT-MAXPH] - Haltmann's Archives"
===Reboot universe===
The universe that was temporarily visited during the SilvaGunner: Rebooted story arc. This universe was created during "Intro - SilvaGunner: Rebooted", when the energy from the chaos caused by the community discourse that The Voice integrated into SiIvaGunner's new ripping software made SiIvaGunner's computer crash, "causing time and space to reboot into an all new, alternate universe" according to The Voice. Since the end of the arc, it has been described as being a parallel universe.
The only difference between this universe and the Central Canon Continuum is that the three biggest memes used on the channel are different: "Meet the Flintstones" is instead "The Simpsons Main Title Theme" and "Family Guy Main Title", "Snow halation" is instead "GO MY WAY!!", and Loud Nigra is instead the Howie scream.
The universe was ultimately destroyed in "A Grand New Era ~Ending~ - SilvaGunner: Rebooted", with The Voice merging the aforementioned memes into the main universe so the reboot and pre-reboot memes could coexist (with the exception of "Snow halation", which Chad Warden had to bring back himself using the power of the MF Like Button).
===Genocide timeline===
During the SilvaGunner: Rebooted 1st Anniversary event, Wood Man temporarily moved the channel into an alternate timeline where Chad Warden never cared for SiIvaGunner and was simply using the channel for his own ends. Note that despite being called a timeline rather than a universe, there doesn't appear to be a functional distinction.
It presumably plays out the same way as the Central Canon Continuum until "Fly High, No Lies ~Genocide Ending~ - SilvaGunner: Rebooted", which takes the place of the true ending. In this video, Chad Warden shows his true colors, killing both "Snow halation" and the Voice so he can take the channel for himself. He would then primarily upload "Abe's Dead" (more commonly known as "Chicken and Chips") mashups to the channel. In "MEGALOVANIA (PS4 Version) - Undertale", Chad also kills SiIvaGunner.
More information about this timeline would be revealed in The Susie ARG. Chad would spend the next eight years of this timeline continuing his genocide. In 2021, he would release his (presumably third) album, CHAD WARDEN's ABAP Raps Ballume Triple. By 2024, Chad has killed everyone except Haruka Amami, who engages him in a battle. After Chad's victory, the world is left as nothing but a black void.
The main timeline's Voice seemed to have premonitions of this reality, as revealed in "Recovered Documents [FILE-INT-BLACK] - Haltmann's Archives".
===Microsoft Paint Universe===
The Microsoft Paint Universe is the universe primarily seen in rips. In this universe, everything is poorly drawn in Microsoft Paint. This world mainly consists of animated caricatures of real people and cartoon characters co-existing in a modern setting. Characters are depicted as either PNGs or drawings. Rips are made at High Quality Rips HQ. Mr Own resides in this universe, dedicating his life to "banning" all mashups by murdering the associated characters. His cousin, Mr. Rent, also resided there, before accidentally being sent to the Central Canon Continuum. In "Story Mode - Looney Tunes", Mr Rental takes Mr. Own's place after getting ran over by 2B. The true ending has Mr Rental prove his innocence from Mr Own's crimes and open up his own Mr Rental store.
===Looney Tunes Universe===
The Looney Tunes Universe is the universe primarily seen in rips. In this universe, everything is in monochrome. The environments are made out of simple shapes, while characters are mostly PNGs. Mr Rental resides in this universe, and is a humble kind-hearted man who is indifferent to mashups. A version of Lady exists in this universe, being one of God's first mashups and the ruler of Hell. Grand Dad also exists in this world, having a counterpart; Grand Ma (Homer Simpson). The two exist as yin and yang; if one dies, the whole universe will be destroyed. In "Story Mode - Mr Rental: The Video Game", Mr Own takes Mr Rental's place after getting ran over by 2B. Several endings have Mr Rental destroy the world.
===Red Dead Dimension===
The Red Dead Dimension was a universe briefly visited by 2B and Wade L.D. where they ended up being cornered by the police. Wade then sacrificed his life so 2B could continue on her quest. It is presumably named after the game .
===World of Kirby Fighters===
The World of Kirby Fighters is a world with a style akin to early 2000's YouTube/Newgrounds sprite animations. Kirby took in his counterpart from the Game Boy universe and the two became roommates. Other Super Mario characters like Mr. L and Waluigi exist in this universe, although Waluigi was sent through a garlic taco portal to the CCC by the two Kirbys.
===Game Boy version===
Another monochromatic universe. Not much is known about it besides that Grey Kirby and Wario were residents, and that Wario was a bully who threatened and stole things from everyone. 2B arrived in this universe during her search for 9S. Grey Kirby jumped into the portal behind him, going to the other colorful Kirby Fighters universe. Wario followed suit, but was defeated by Kirby's counterpart.
===Steve Harvey Universe===
The Steve Harvey Universe is a universe where American television host, actor, writer, producer, and comedian Steve Harvey reigns supreme. Steve Harvey has his own dedicated rips, featuring crude, low quality memes.
===AMUNO Universe===
The AMUNO Universe is a universe of utter chaos, with poorly drawn characters placed in a world of pictures of real-world locations. Surreal shitposts are often seen from rips featuring it. It is named after AMUNO.
===Mundus===
Mundus is the universe of the Elder Scrolls video game series. In the SiIvaGunner lore, it specifically represents . 9S wound up here initially after leaving the CCC. 9S would wander around the world until finding the Elder Scroll. He then used the power of the Elder Scroll to send a message to Eggnog, who reunited him with 2B in this universe. 9S then transported himself and 2B back to their home dimension.
===Neir: Automata universe===
The universe where 2B and 9S originated, and where they returned after reunited. The portal created in "Last Hurrah" led to this universe. It opened beside 2B, causing 9S to push her out of the way and get sucked in himself, leading to all of the rest of the events.
===Coordinate Plane===
The Coordinate Plane is the home universe of The numberphile. Everything corresponds to coordinates in this universe, including time itself. Visually, it is a featureless white void where any characters have a grid under them rather than a shadow, and their coordinates appear beside them. The numberphile appears to be the manager of the SiIvaGunner channel in this universe, as he is seen scheduling rips. This is also where the final battle between The numberphile and Gegagedigedagedago took place, resulting in The numberphile's death. Afterwards, Gegagedigedagedago looked at The numberphile's computer and saw a message from 9S that was erroneously sent to The numberphile instead of Eggnog, and redirected it to Eggnog.
=== Universe===
This universe was depicted in the rip "Main Theme - 9:05".
===Slot Machine (Beta Mix) - Star Fox===
The universe depicted in the rip "Slot Machine (Beta Mix) - Star Fox". It is only referred to by the rip's name.
==Trivia==
*In the video "Hello :)", elements of the CCC are seen despite the fact that the takeover it kickstarted was part of the AI Universe. It is unclear what this implicates.
*Characters from both universes attend Wood Man's Halloween House Party (ft. David S. Pumpkins). However, this instance of an apparent contradiction is meaningless as Wood Man says David S. Pumpkins disregarded continuity for the party.
