Omori Basil Analysis | How One Day Utterly Broke Him

Basil is one of the main characters in OMORI, being the last of the group to join them, but also one of the most vital to the story. Basil is probably the purest and most caring character in the entire cast. He's also the one who made the photo album of his friends, and he cares a lot about his flowers. But one day, a certain event happens that would break him and change everyone's lives around him forever.

By the way Hero describes it, it seems Sunny never did talk much prior (he says Sunny hasn't changed. Which is I think a bit fitting to the games themes if true). I think this is backed up by Kel never once questioning why you don't talk despite spending a day with you. But I think by this dialogue from Basil we can probably guess that either A: Sunny was always quiet but now Basil is anxious and on edge so instead he feels he's being judged. Which I think fits, but isn't my fav explanation. Or B: Sunny didn't talk much EXCEPT WITH BASIL. I just love this idea so much. No one else thinks him not talking is weird, because that's normal behavior to them. But to Basil, it comes off as odd because Sunny did talk to him.

@@Diamondfire5125 Yeah I think it's such a great explanation. But I honestly think the second one really fits well with the scene in Basil's grandmother room. I can't remember the exact quote but it was something like "you know she can't hear us right now Sunny." But I also think that may have instead been Basil wanting to talk about what happened with Mari so he wasn't alone, and not in any way an actual commentary on Sunny not talking.

I feel like something that people kind of gloss over is the fact that Basil knew how to tie a noose when he was, like, 12. He was probably dealing with mental health issues from the start, which makes his story even more heartbreaking.

And by the way even though he definitely had anxiety and/or depression, due to his own parents neglecting him, I still don't think basil wanted to die/hang himself, he loved his friends a lot, like a newfound family, they probably were his only reason to live, after meeting sunny and the rest of the group his mental health must have improved significantly. Sunny especially helped him a lot just by listening to him venting or infodumping about his favourite things like plants and books. Sadly, the Mari incident destroyed all beautiful things in their relationship and made it all worse again, but if that had never happened, basil would have been really happy with the gang. 💔

I just want to say that Basil is the most loyal person ever. He kept a soul crushing secret for four years, despite his friend peacing out and breaking their promise. He's the real deal and deserves the world! 🌻❤️🌻

@DLxxx Жыл бұрын

He's the one who created those circumstances for himself though. It was entirely his choice to even HAVE a secret to keep. Obviously it would've sucked, but I'd hardly call it an act of "loyalty" when Sunny never asked for or wanted his "protection" in the first place. If anything, his intentions were selfish, and more about how HE didn't want to lose his best friend. If it were really about Sunny's wellbeing, he would've instantly realized that his decisions caused more to him than good (going into isolation should've been another indicator too). Considering he was locked up in his house four years, I honestly can't imagine Sunny cared whether Basil kept that promise or not. Especially since, IIRC, there's no indication that Sunny ever agreed to the promise in the first place. It happened on the day Basil showed Sunny his photo album, and Sunny responded to that situation by scribbling out the pictures. Clearly rejecting Basil's request for them to "make some new memories."

@genesischaparro8954 Жыл бұрын

@@DLxxx Ok, I'll give you that Basil did took it upon his shoulders in a very selfish way, but again, he was a 12 years old from a small town. I'm pretty sure he didn't knew the difference between accidental manslauther from first degree homicide; he just knew Sunny killed his sister and that everyone says that people that kill other people are bad and bad people go to jail. He was as traumatized as Sunny and not thinking straight, Sunny completely shut down so he would'nt be able to explain himself, because Basil despite being a witness doesn't know the whole context. Even if in a misguided way, he knows that Sunny isn't a bad person, but he doesn't know the context of Sunny's frustration with the violin and the reason for the argument, but he knows Sunny would never kill his sister on purpose. That's why it's adamant that Sunny be the one to come clean at the end of the game. I stan my ground that Basil is still very loyal to Sunny. Even if it was a one sided promise, Basil keeps his part because he still believes in Sunny. Despite having a reason to come clean when Sunny leaves him to face the real world and the consequences alone for 4 years, and he's bullied for something he didn't do this time. As for the photo album, it's possible that Sunny didn't scribbled the photos out of hatred to Basil, but in order to repress the memories those photos represented, especially because, if i remember correctly, it was only the pictures with Mari in them that were vandalized. It's also possible that Omori had a hand in it: the bad neutral endings, where Sunny stabs himself give the impression that Omori can take control of Sunny's body a la sleepwalking, so maybe Omori was in control of Sunny in the first days after the incident, while he was most traumatized and in a daze.

I would also like to add that when Basil went missing, he was probably planning to commit suicide. He left home without telling anyone, and to the secret hangout spot that he thought nobody knew about and is not visited often. And when the Hooligans saw him he had a mental breakdown because he thought they would hurt him. Also, as you said, he is worried about people finding out about his bad mental state.

loved the analysis. really shows how important basil is to the story, and how hes not the villain people make him out to be. honestly, framing a suicide would be the best option to *hide* the truth. cuz idk how people think 12y/os and also sunnys parents would react to a ‘oh im sorry i accidentally killed my sister after we had a fight and also broke the violin you all worked so hard to gift me.’ we dont know how the gang would react to the truth at the their current age of 16 and older, imagine if they were still kids. imo if basil didnt help him when the truth happened, when everyone found out, hero would distance himself from sunny, and aubrey n kel would start to avoid/bully sunny like aubrey did to basil. basil could also be peer pressured/bullied into staying away from sunny. so accidentally killing his sister, losing (probably)all his friends, losing his dad, his mom potentially start to mistreat him like aubreys mom does to aubrey (since sunnys mom is arguably negligent of him in game, she could start to treat him worse.)would probably drive sunny to commit wayyy sooner. basil at 12 knew how to tie a noose, so suicide at that age isnt impossible, and also since there are irl cases of children even younger than that committing bc of bullying/etc. tldr basil saved sunnys life by framing maris death as a suicide and sharing the guilt of maris death w him

And I agree that, in the scenario where the truth wasn't hidden, Hero would start avoiding Sunny and Aubrey would get mad at him, but I disagree that Kel would bully Sunny; Kel's shown to be a bit simple-minded and more than a bit energetic, but that just means that the simple fact that he cares about *all* his friends is the most important to him. He'd probably be the one working hardest to keep the group together, until everything was either resolved or fell apart spectacularly.

Omori fandom when some 12yo kid is feeling sad (theyre 100% gonna commit suicide) Jokes aside, long essay incoming, you cant just justify basil's actions because "oh theyre probably gonna kill themselves" that is just utter bs If anything, the framing only ruined his whole freaking life If the incident had been settled earlier NONE of the horrible things would have happened, its literally two twelve year olds, its not like theyre somehow gonna understand the trauma they are at And basil wouldnt even FEEL this bad because he would have had no involvement If basil hadnt covered sunny's ass, at the very least kel would have stayed and hero would have gotten over it when he grew up (hed literally be an adult against a teen if he kept the gripe which, may i remind you, was literally an accident) Also, sunnys mom isnt as bad as people make it out to be Sure, she completely neglected the fact sunny became hikki and got traumatized, but you gotta remember she literally lost her DAUGHTER and HUSBAND in the same. freaking. month. Shed be so overwhelmed with everything it would be IMPOSSIBLE for her to keep up with sunny, especially since she didnt think he was involved in maris death (before you bring up that they knew, they dont. People forget SOMETHING in deeper well said only basil and mari know) Hell, where would she get the money anymore? Its probably a living purgatory in that situation, so just like sunny, she just constantly kept escaping. I am not saying what she did was right by any means, she was terrible in these regards, but you have to remember its entirely possible it was because of maris death and she was a great mother beforehand. (She even thought he could get more food himself since he was a "big boy". This shows she didnt know what was up with him) So in theory, maris death being out there would have still led to things going wrong, but not as bad as what actually happened. But guess what? THAT DOESNT MATTER. framing someones death is **wrong** and by no means the correct action, so the consequences to telling the truth have NO importance, all that truly matters is saying it

@CatwHolyWater 26 күн бұрын

That’s why I think Aubrey will be the first to forgive Sunny. I imagine while the others are processing such huge pieces of information about SUNNY and BASIL of all people, Aubrey would probably be angry at first, but then the moment she pushed Basil into the lake would flash into her mind. Then she would become really sad realising Sunny was in a similar, ultimately childish situation, that very unfortunately turned fatal in his case. Probably hug it out too. Meanwhile for Basil I think Hero would be the first to recognise his situation and forgive him, because a lot of people in the fandom often gloss over the fact that Basil knew how to tie a noose at 12. Also, just how would Basil and Sunny get away with it on their own? If Mari fell down the stairs, her it would’ve been apparent. In the autopsy. But no one knew? So Hero would come to the conclusion that the parents helped cover for Mari’s death to cover for the boys. You can see hints of this as you journey through Black Space. Sunny’s father denouncing him as his son while chopping down a tree, and Sunny’s mum saying “I can’t lose you AS WELL”. ‘As well’ could refer to Sunny potentially serving time if this got out.

@Kayta-Linda Жыл бұрын

More specifically, it’s because Sunny is the one who actually scribbled out the photos. Which is definitely a thing Basil absolutely does *not* want to come out. But.. refusing to see the album would’ve looked suspicious anyway, so he figured he’d just put the blame on himself if Kel asks. Fortunately for him, Aubrey already removed the marks, so he had nothing to worry about this time. (Although it does make me wonder what he thought giving Sunny the album would do exactly, considering what happened the last time he had it...)

i have this horrifying inkling of a theory that mari... might not have died from the stairs. i don't actually believe this, it's just a thought that haunts me at the dead of night also, you're trying to connect everything to the night of "the recital" but it's not, it's a combination of sunny ditching basil _and_ "the recital," when kel says they should look through the photo album, basil is hesitant either because of him blacking out all the photos with marker. basil shouts for sunny and kel to not leave mainly because of sunny, basil doesn't want sunny to leave again after 4. and i want to mention the "good" ending, not the secret ending but the one most players are going to get, it just... completely ignores basil, the "Good" ending is basically basil's *_worst nightmare._* Basil never gets over "the recital" in the "good" ending and the would _devastate him_ sunny never considers basil when admitting the truth to his friends and, i would say that he never fully considers basil unless he's directly attacking him.. or himself... sunny completely ignores basil when he needs him the most, And i feel like the game ignores that. god i hope someone reads this...

I read this and I feel like I should correct you on something real quick. Basil didn't black out the photos in the album, Sunny did. Basil just took the blame for him.

This is a horrible thing I have seen and still have a lot of trauma about, that I find very frustrating about this theory: a recently dead body usually still has its eyes open, and they’re actually quite difficult to shut properly. It isn’t like you see in films where someone can gently pass a hand over their eyes and they look like they’re sleeping. I did that once and still feel angry and upset that it didn’t work like those films. Mari’s eyes probably were open, and the kids tried to shut them but failed, and in (understandably!) wanting to avoid looking at her face, never realised until they had hung her up and the hair fell out of her eyes. The experience I had when my dad died rings truest with this story in any I’ve seen in media, and is something I’ve found somewhat cathartic (though not comforting, just like “oh somebody gets it!” if that makes sense). I wish I had been around for this game’s release so I could have stressed this to fans then, even though I know I wouldn’t have been ready for it at all. I’m really glad I found it now, even if I’m very late.

I always hate how people romantize that Sunny but especially Basil is totally happy and fine in the end. That is just the opposite how it all works. basil has a huge developed fear of loss (probably because his parents always go off and leave him alone with caretakers he can't get warmed up to) We don't know his full backstory (aubrey seem to have known him before all others but we don't know under which circumstances) . Fact is sunny and basil grew very close and I don't even think he is so much affected by mari's death. Not above all others (minus sunny) but the thing that broke him is a) sunny breaking a promise and just secluded himself, leaving basil alone with everything, with the guilt, knowledge and the feeling of being not liked but his love (see it platonic or romantic, game never clears this up) and loyality has him never being mad at sunny for this. I think the real deal was that sunny kept shut about moving but was haning out 1. with the other friends before basil as if he was nothing , 2. the other friends told basil casually that sunny is moving while sunny SAT AT THE SAME TABLE (again making basil feel like he is worthless and not important to sunny even after he kept that all as secret for so long to protect him) , 3. his grandmother died and he seemed to have her as only loved person when sunny was gone he was close to. People always only see Mari as reason but, Basil is an abusive victim (he was phsically abused by Aubrey and others and due to his nature maybe was bullying victim in school anyway), has trauma of fear of loss but loses Sunny, his parents, his grandmother. He is absolutely suic'dal but while Sunny creates headspace to prevent him from doing this we don't k now if Basil also did it, if not he gobbled up everything alone with no one to talk to. And people forget that Sunny moves regardless of which ending. Basil is left alone again. The only thing that vanished is the guilt of having kept up a lie, but for Basil the fact he helped sunny back then will not go away. It's nothing that you can overcome to be "proud of one day". I always say it and I repeat myself, I still think Sunny and Basil end their lives off screen even after the good ending. Sunny's "good morning" lyrics are what depressive people sound like. Repeating over and over again, not really living , just not dying (like being trapped in whitespace) just that he is now trapped in the real world. it's not a song like "wohou I feel better each day and one day I'll be happy". And Basil again is fed with loss and Kel aubrey and hero were not contribution to him feeling better not even beforehand. For Sunny since I think he is stronger there might be future, for Basil if not forced into a psychological institution I don't see how he could go on. I've suffered myself through similar things like Basil and there is just simply 0 way that if your best friend moves anyway that you are "nice". Remember all other of sunny's friends were sad but then wished him luck and all was fine. basil broke down. it's a huge difference . Mari just plays a minor role in this
