SiIvaGunner (previously known as GiIvaSunner) is a collaborative parody music YouTube channel that only uploads high quality video game rips. It is my favorite YouTube channel of all time and one of my favorite pieces of media in general.
== History ==
The GiIvaSunner channel was created by Chaze the Chat on January 9th, 2016. The channel is parody of a once popular (and now defunct) Nintendo video game music uploading channel named GilvaSunner (which was made as a tribute to a previous similar YouTuber named SilvaGunner). The channel uploads "high quality rips", uploads of video game music which is changed to feature a meme or other kind of reference, meant to surprise a viewer trying to find actual video game music, mimicking the exact look of GilvaSunner's uploads. The channel layout also mimics GilvaSunner's, with having similar profile pictures, channel banners and bios. The channel wasn't just ran by Chaze, but instead comprises of multiple people, all contributing their musical talents to the channel. 
The channel would continue uploading and slowly gaining a fanbase until April 6th, when the channel was terminated by YouTube due to impersonating GilvaSunner (even though he was fine with the channel's existence). Soon, the team would begin uploading again on a new channel called SiIvaGunner, on April 12th. 
On September 12th, the video "the nutshack theme but the first nutshack is replaced with me ending the channel" was uploaded, revealing the true creator of the channel as Chaze and revealing a lot of information about the channel, and how Chaze wanted to end the channel. 
On October 29, the supposed last rip "Title Theme & Ending - 7 GRAND DAD" was uploaded. The channel would stop uploading after this, but later resumed uploading on November 3, with the rip "Wood Man Stage (Beta Mix) - Mega Man 2", beginning a new late Halloween event. 
This would be followed by a Christmas event, which established the in-universe story The SiIvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis, serving as a sequel to the previous story SiIvaGunner: Rebooted. However, the videos for this series ended up in development hell, resulting in the channel running long past its original intended ending, which would have been after The CCC's conclusion. The channel is still running and uploaded new rips and videos to this day.
On January 14, 2018, the channel was terminated by Sony Music Entertainment Japan, due to multiple rips using their music being flagged. This resulted in a new backup channel called SiIvaGunner2 being created, which was update fans on the current situation in a livestream and reupload popular rips from the previous channel. The main channel eventually returned on February 28, after the copyright issues were sorted out, with the flagged rips being removed from the channel and the rest of the channel remaining unchanged.
