"I like to think of this as the Season 2 of SiIvaGunner. When Season 1 ended back in, um, back in September of twenty-thir- of 2016 - what, 2013 what was I talking about?"
Chaze the Chat[1]

Season 2 was the season of the SiIvaGunner channel that took place from October 19, 2016 to January 1, 2018.

Summary[]

It is assumed that this season started immediately after the end of Season 1, making the first rip of the season "Wood Man Stage - Mega Man 2". The season's end was announced as it happened, in the video "...of 2017", which would be standard from this point forward.

Planned channel ending[]

On September 30, 2016, SiIvaGunner founder Chaze the Chat recorded "the nutshack theme but the first nutshack is replaced with me ending the channel", a vlog where (among other things) he announced his plan to end the channel after two further videos. Due to delays on these last two videos, five extra videos were also created and uploaded, leading up to the final release of "Title Theme & Ending - 7 GRAND DAD" on October 29. Despite the rip's finality, it didn't last long.

The 2016 holidays[]

On November 3, a Halloween-themed event called the The SilvaGunner Spooktacular Halloween Horror Special occurred, revealing that the channel wasn't quite over yet. The event marked the proper introduction for the character Wood Man, who from this point on will frequently appear as an in-universe connection between the team and the channel's viewers. After a few days, however, the Halloween event ended and rips stopped once again. Wood Man would continue operating the channel's Twitter until November 30, when he left claiming he needed to "fight Mega Man".

On December 14, 2016, The SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis (CCC) began, .

Hiatus and overturning the ending[]

Due to the troubled production of the seventh Christmas Comeback Crisis episode "Loves the Ladies", the SiIvaGunner channel went on a hiatus referred to as "the pause" on February 15, 2017.[2] The video "Pause Screen (Mother's Intuition) - Kirby Planet Robobot" signified this by ending with the video's animation stopping and turning to black and white. The channel then went inactive for the rest of February and most of March, although the Twitter was once again taken over by Wood Man, who would complain about the pause and try to find an "unpause button".

During March, only 8 videos were uploaded, most of which were related to the days of their upload. In these videos, the thumbnails were all in greyscale, signifying that the pause was still in effect. The channel would make its proper return in April with the April Fools' Day 2017 and Haruka Amami's Birthday events, after which the rip "TIME BEEEAM! - Kirby Planet Robobot" showed color returning to the channel, and uploads would resume like normal from this point forward, though with a slower upload schedule than Season 1.

Although the pause was over, the future of SiIvaGunner would not be fully made clear until April 19 with the upload of "MEGALOVANIA (Chex Mix) - Undertale". This rip is an out-of-character update video by Chaze the Chat, where he says that while the troubled production of the Christmas Comeback Crisis held up the original plan to simply finish the series and then end, he and the team had gained new motivation to continue the channel for a while longer in what he wanted to consider a "Season 2", though with a new planned ending.

President Haltmann's takeover[]

On May 14, 2017, the lore video "(AUDIOLOG: 19:27, HEAD OFFICE)" was uploaded. In this video, Gadgetini Clone 2.0 took over the channel from The Voice, thus beginning a week and a half of rips based on Inspector Gadget, primarily using the sources "Inspector Gadget Theme" and "Minecraft with Gadget". Gadgetini Clone 2.0 was then disposed of in the announcement video for the album Inspector Gunner. In said video, President Haltmann takes over the channel, hell-bent not on purging anime, but on making as many high quality rips as possible so he can sell the SiIvaGunner channel for a high price.

For the rest of Season 2, the avatar was replaced with artwork of Haltmann from The SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis and the channel banner was changed to an interior view of Haltmann's office in his tower. Additionally, the catchphrase became "Please read the channel description for glorious profit." for all non-event Season 2 rips. Meanwhile, the channel description itself changed several times.

On June 30, the channel took a brief break, as "God of ink - Splatoon 2" gave the channel its third strike, preventing any uploads for a week and a half.[3]

On August 3, 2017, the SiIvaGunner team announced that they were looking for artists; the non-event YouTube profile picture was changed to the Haltmann art made for the announcement until the end of Season 2.

The 2017 holidays[]

The season was wrapped up with the 12 Days of Ripmas, an event where 12 special videos were uploaded each day, most of which were big collabs, ending on release of "I Love Her", the tenth episode of The SiIvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis, and the final main episode until the end of Season 7. It was then followed by "The Final Rip..." and "...of 2017", the latter of which announced that the season was over and that Season 3 was beginning.

Net worth[]

Over the course of President Haltmann's takeover, the channel description played a unique role in monitoring the "net worth" of the SiIvaGunner channel, as Haltmann planned to sell the channel off to the highest bidder. It was thus updated several times even during non-channel event periods. (It is possible that not all changes were documented, as most of the known changes are tied to channel events).
