**Bonzi Buddy** (canon name **BonziBUDDY**) was the major antagonist of Season 1 first added in Part 3. He originates from Joel's classic Windows Destruction series and holds a similar role here, being a virus, he corrupts the world around him.

Bonzi was known for being an evil, satanic super-villain that was also constantly attacked by crows and relished in swarming innocent townies in bugs and setting them on fire. Though his spirit seemingly made a change for the better in Season 2, the dark side of his soul still manifested from time to time, culminating in a climactic battle in Part 22 of Season 2, in which his soul was forcibly merged with the body of Funky Kong by Liquid Bogan to create the malformed chimera Funky Buddy. Following Funky Buddy's destruction at the hands of Dio Brando and Kira Yoshikage (plus their stands The World and Killer Queen), Bonzi's spirit's ultimate fate - beyond its apparent destruction at the hands of the two stands - has been left unknown.

## History

### Season 1

Bonzi moved in with Funky Kong in the treetop Kong Household in Part 3 and held an IT job for his living.

#### Part 5

Being financially bankrupt and being harassed and mind-controlled by Dio Brando on a daily basis led to Bonzi's eventual snap. In Part 5, he was visited by the Devil, taking the form of a floating painting, who offered him powers in exchange for his soul and some tasks to prove his worth.

Bonzi accepted but regretted the decision after the Devil started giving him tasks. To prove his worth, Bonzi was ordered to kill and make other Sims utterly miserable. Bonzi's soul got consumed, but he is now able to fully tap into the power of Satan.

#### Bonzi's Corruption

By Part 9, it had been revealed that Bonzi had been corrupting the World with his dark demonic powers. Said corruption was releasing demons into the world whose numbers were increasing over time. According to the *ARMAGEDDON* mod, by the end of Part 9, corruption had reached 80%.

In Part 11/Part 12, Bonzi's Corruption had come very close to completion, filling the sky with several error boxes and gigantic images of himself. Bonzi was such a dangerous virus that he infected the sky itself.

#### Part 12

In Part 12, Bonzi's corruption of the world spiralled out of control. His house morphed into an evil satanic version of itself and Bonzi even kidnapped his own friend, Funky Kong, and held him in their house's basement.

Bonzi's evil ways were put to a stop by the hands of DoomGuy John, who brutally killed most of the demons infesting the world. The confrontation between Bonzi and DoomGuy culminated in an epic battle between the two, resulting in Bonzi's death and his corruption of the world fading from existence.

Though Bonzi was now dead, his influence lingered on, and Demons still existed; DoomGuy had since continued his stay in Oasis Springs to make sure these remaining demons were eradicated.

While Bonzi's dark form was successfully purged by DoomGuy, his spirit lives on.

### Season 2

#### Part 13

Bonzi's spirit is seen for a short period of time in the Squarepants Household. It is not yet known why he manifested at the Squarepants home. But it may be a sign of his presence lingering long after he was vanquished.

Bonzi's actions were surprisingly docile compared to the actions he carried out when alive. He was only seen getting a glass of water from the bathroom sink.

#### Part 14

Bonzi Buddy's spirit appeared at the Bogan Household when Wesker seemingly invited both he and "Madeline" into the household. Dio was frustrated at Wesker and the ghosts pushed him over the edge to call in world-renowned Ghostbuster Bill Murray.

This segment was however retconned when it was revealed to be a premonition by Dio after Anakin Skywalker burnt down the Bogan Household.

Back in canon, Bonzi is shown again in his more docile side, as he began cleaning the floor with the power of communism instead of causing trouble. It is unclear whether Bonzi has turned a new leaf or is planning something, as it is important to note that his canon counterpart would also put up a similar front of being friendly and helpful.

#### Part 17

Bonzi Buddy's spirit has begun to fade away.

#### Part 18

Bonzi's ghost appeared in Johnny Zest's house. While not bothering Johnny, he got into a skirmish with a police officer twice. It's unknown if this means his spirit is still connected to the physical realm.

## Powers

After acquiring demonic powers from the Devil himself, Bonzi has displayed incredible power in the world.

* **Deadly Insect Attraction:** As part of his task to become as powerful as the Devil, Bonzi was able to attract deadly insects to people, like bees, wasps, etc. This didn't work on a random woman due to her escaping, however it was successfully done against Keanu Reeves (though he didn't care at first).
* **Panic Inducement:** Bonzi was also able to induce panic on other sims, which was demonstrated on a woman passing by.
* **Set on Fire:** Bonzi was able to set a woman on fire by generating a fireball out of nowhere and throwing it at her, slowly burning her to death.
* **Flight:** Bonzi's new walking animation had him hover a bit over the ground, in a similar way to ghosts. He was also able to fly, as demonstrated in his fight against DoomGuy.
* **Spellcasting:** After his tasks were complete, he gained much of the Devil's powers, including being able to cast spells, mostly on sims. This was demonstrated against an elderly woman, but she was unfazed by it and just brushed it off.
* **World Corruption:** By Part 9, it's revealed that Bonzi has actually been corrupting the world with his powers, and had already reached 80% corruption at the time. This corruption has manifested in multiple forms.
	+ **Demonic Manifestation:** Bonzi was able to make Demons manifest on Earth by possessing human bodies, which corrupted their facial (and sometimes body) structures into horrifying abominations. Most of these demons were just as easy to kill as regular humans, but other, more powerful demons like the Super Demon Cop were more resistant to it.
	+ **Chaos Inducement:** Bonzi was able to influence chaotic events in the world, being able to influence arguments, fights, depression and thefts.
	+ **Reality Warping:** Bonzi was able to corrupt the skybox in Part 11, displaying himself along with Windows XP error messages.
	+ **Soil Cursing:** In Part 12, Bonzi's corruption morphed the Kong Household into an evil, satanic version of itself.
* **Dark Aura:** Bonzi was able to generate a dark and red corrupted aura around his feet, with dark smoke around his body. He also had multiple crows around, following him, and often staying on his shoulders for some time.
* **Demonic Run:** Bonzi was able to quickly float to another location, similar to DIO, but slower.
* **Sending Ghosts to Graves:** Bonzi was able to send ghosts back to their graves. This was not enacted, as Joel feared Varg Fren would be definitely put to rest this way.
* **Resurrection:** In contrast, Bonzi was able to resurrect dead sims, as long as they were in ghost form. This was demonstrated with Funky Kong after he was ran over out of nowhere.
* **Energy Regeneration:** Bonzi was able to regenerate his Dark Energy when low on it.
* **Possession (as a ghost):** After death, Bonzi became a ghost and was able to possess objects, often breaking them.
* **Shapeshifting:** Although not seen in the series itself, his appearances in other Joel streams are in various shapes and forms as seen in other Windows Destruction streams and the Metroid Dread series.
