Kill & Learn (Recut Ver​.​)

Season 4 Episode 1 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume L [Side B] Also on: STUDIO TRIGGER QUALITY MUSIC WORKS

Ripped by Smoky

High Quality Never Dies.

The end of Season 3 was quite a tumultuous time for SiIva. Being a music channel on YouTube, the SiIvaGunner channel always teeters over the gaping maw of copyright strikes from music production companies, made worse by YouTube's lack of protection from these false strikes. All of SiIvaGunner's content obviously falls under the umbrella of fair use by the nature of the channel: its core goal and aim is to REMIX music, not reupload it. Yet, in December 2018, eight videos were targeted by Sony Music Entertainment of Japan, which eventually spiralled into the channel's deletion at the beginning of 2019. Five years and one day ago, on January 9th, SiIvaGunner celebrated its third anniversary - with its main channel dead in the water due to YouTube's incompetency.

It's a damn shame that shit like this can happen to just about any aspiring creator on YouTube, and the team was immensely fortunate to have an audience large enough to catch YouTube's attention this time. By February of that same year, the channel was back, Season 3 was over, and Season 4 Episode 1 was officially online. And those copystruck rips were not going to be forgotten.

Kill & Learn (Recut Ver.) is not the same rip as the one that was initially part of that eight-video striking spree from 2018. Yet its an absolutely terrific remastering effort, uploaded during the long-awaited STUDIO TRIGGER event later in the Season. Much like the Planet Wisp Mashup Medley, its a direct tribute to the legendary ripper Triple-Q and one of his many in-jokes, of drawing comparison between the stories of Sonic Adventure 2 and STUDIO TRIGGER's Kill La Kill. Kill & Learn (Recut Ver.) is technically the third spin on this idea, with Triple-Q's own mashup Kill la Kill OST: Final Boss Theme first, followed by the original Kill & Learn (Uncut Ver.), and finally with Kill & Learn (Recut Ver.). All three follow the same premise, mashing up Kill La Kill's second OP Ambiguous with the main theme of Sonic Adventure 2, Live & Learn, yet all feel very different from one another. Live & Learn (Recut Ver.) is, to me, the ultimate endpoint of this concept, and the best of the three - it screams hype from every point of the song, with Live & Learn's vocals fitting the instrumental of Ambiguous like a glove - it's a mashup that felt destined to happen, and is here executed with five years worth of refining.

It warms my heart to see Kill & Learn (Recut Ver.) sitting at such a high view count (over 700K views as of writing) despite the troubled circumstances of its production, of how the original Kill & Learn (Uncut Ver.) is likely never going to be back up on YouTube. Yet, through the hype of the STUDIO TRIGGER takeover and sheer love of the original rip, we found a way to push this rip far past the original's view count. No matter what, high quality finds a way to live on!

【＝３】e-MUNO Disco (vs. 音MAD AGENT)

Featured on: Inspector Gunner, The SiIvaGunner YTPMV Collab (Eek!).veg, SiIvaGunner: Starter Kit & Essentials Ripped by MtH Visuals by Craz Xexe

Hi Emma!

I want to say that this rip was one of the first I recall actively putting in a playlist in YouTube - it stuck out to me even back then as something special, both in its creativity and just full-on audio appeal. As the lead manager of the entire SiIvaGunner channel, @mth-emma has shown time and time again just how well fit she is for the job, both in her consistently creative and fun output as well as her sense of humor fitting the channel like a glove. The sudden Inspector Gadget takeover of Season 2 was one of the biggest rug-pulls the channel had seen at that time, and while many old fans just full-on didn't engage with the channel for the week or so that it lasted, the ones that stuck around were met with treats like this.

Taking the best from the magical world of YTPMV and one of the funniest possible audio sources - Minecraft with Gadget - this rip effectively feels like Season 2 incarnate, firing on full cylinder with jokes that nobody really believed in before their mass adoption. This extends to its second joke as well, Numberphile's e, which had barely been present on the channel before this rip yet basically became a favorite just from its appearance here. Like I've said before, escalation is what sets the best rips apart from the rest in my eyes, and I honestly think this rip might've been where I got that mindset from? It manages to both be an absolute bop from the sources used in it whilst also continuing to be an entertaining ride for first-time listeners across its entire 2-and-a-half minute runtime.

Sidenote: Its a damn shame Amuno has effectively disappeared from the channel since Season 2, yet also very funny that his presence basically began and ended at the Season's beginning and finale. His appearance at the end of this rip in particular just helps solidify it as Season 2 SiIvaGunner incarnate.

Blog Update - 16/04/2024

TL;DR: The SiIvaGunner Bandcamp page is down! Blog posts are unaffected on Tumblr's mobile app, but Bandcamp embeds will fail to load on Tumblr Desktop.

Yeah, you get the jist - just yesterday SiIvaGunner's Bandcamp page and all of its albums were removed without notice. The team is working on resolving it, but as a result of this, all the Bandcamp embeds on this blog are temporarily broken...on web at least? For some reason it appears to work perfectly on mobile, and of course the YouTube uploads are unaffected. Just a heads-up as to why the posts are currently looking a bit off on desktop.

EDIT: I've discovered that, even though I'd inserted the Bandcamp links into a dozen future posts ahead of time in the drafts, they refuse to be published with broken links like that. In the meantime, until this gets resolved, future posts - like today's Super Wonderful World - will be using standard audio file embeds provided through my own personal archive of SiIvaGunner albums. When the Bandcamp page gets restored, these posts will have their embeds fixed to the standard Bandcamp linking - which again, still appears to work just fine on mobile for the time being.
