Mumei's the type of person who would happily walk up to Pennywise the Clown and greet him with the most cheerful look on her face and be completely unfazed by him, but would then run away in pure terror the moment he pulls out a balloon, lol.
If she has a fear of balloons popping, then its because as a child she tried to fill up a balloon with air and it popped in her face... That is childhood trauma.
@@DBT1007 the fear of balloons and the sound of them popping falls into the same phobia, to be exact the fear of the sound of balloons popping is a small sub category of the phobia Globophobia which is the fear of balloons
@@cloutogelevatedtv9000 how about Dez’ specific fear of the reverb/bass sound of air-filled balloons? If I remember correctly its not specifically the balloon but the similar sounds to that hollow sound that he’s uncomfortable with.
Mumei's genuinely scared of balloons popping is unexpected. I always clench my teeth while closing one eye when watching someone blowing air in a balloon.
Thank god I’m not alone. I can’t remember exactly when it started but I’m scared of balloons popping, too. I have some younger cousins that love playing with balloons, and I’m always super stressed at birthday parties because they love squeezing them. Basically I’m out of the room as soon as the balloons come out.
Until this point in the game, I didn't think there would be anything in this game let alone the horror genre to faze Mumie. Other than a Childhood fear of balloons popping she's pretty resolute to most things which in turn would terrify/disturb most others.
I was so happy when this happened because I have the exact same fear as Mumei. I have the worst anxiety attacks when I see balloons because I’m so scared of the sound. As a grown ass adult I have bulldozed my way out of a store, nearly running over children because some kids were running around with balloons they were handing out. It’s ok Mumei you aren’t alone.
**jaw drops open** Well i suppose it makes sense that something so mundane would be the scary thing. Reminds me of the friend who was freaking out when i was applying my lip balm, it had quite a strong odor, they had a total fear of... cherries. Their face was literally white, eyes wide, palms sweaty(etc etc moms spaghetti) Turns out they were force fed a so-called cherry flavour medicine as a child and now have a life-long fear of...cherries. Also i wonder if rubbing a balloon is like the horror-sting-violin sound for her? 🤔 🎈
Once had a balloon pop right next to my ear when I was a kid. I still have that innate reaction of running away and getting as far as possible after seeing a balloon.
Every time I’ve I think mumei has hit all peak of weirdness she manages to top it. I know about a lot of phobias but not one I know of mentions balloons popping.
Actually, I have to wonder.. What were the chances that Bae, who is terrified of horror games, was watching Mumei play Resident Evil and happened to be listening in at this exact moment?
I've a balloon phobia, so I can relate, seeing them float menacingly, not knowing weather they will suddenly and loudly pop is frightening, especially that noise one makes when someone rubs it, as it tends to be the lead up to a balloon popping.... Birthday's were not fun, these were thankfully fine, I'm not sure about VR cause I'm certainly not playing that version with these in it...
Video game balloons is nothing compared to watching a 1-2 year old child IRL waving around a stick with balloon bigger than their torso around and hitting the ground and the area. Their parents must be evil giving them a huge balloon and too small to play with. Then imagine seeing toddlers playing with those metallic wrapped balloon, and trying to bite them.
One of my friends has a severe phobia of balloons. The first time I heard someone scream hysterically, as if she were about to be harmed, was when one of her friends unexpectedly threw a balloon at her. Everyone was so confused because none of us knew about her phobia. We all assumed she had seen a ghost.
In any other situation pulling out feather quill pen from the characters stomach she'd make a joke and then ask if she could write with it, cuz blood ink and then likely 'Aww I wanted to draaaw'. But because it was attached to a balloon of all things... its horrible, scary and traumatic. Kinda like the troll in Hellboy 2. Talks shit to a demon, eats kittens... scared to death of tweety bird.

Mumei would shank Pennywise with a smile, but runs away in terror when he shows up holding a bouquet of balloons.
Pennywise died when he just got roasted by people, I can imagine he died by savage words from Mumei
Mumei: maybe after the end of this my fear of balloons will end
*Gets spiked by balloon
Mumei: it came back
And it’s even stronger now like the rival in a shounen anime.
when ballons have thorns
Mumei unfazed by the body mutilations from previous scenes
Also Mumei seeing balloon popping and hurting you: This game is so cruel!
Mumei: "I am completely fearless, because I deliver the fear, but that thing"
Balloon: "sup"
Mumei: "It scares me"
It's not the balloon. It's the balloon popping
You know what scares me?
It's scary to see Mumei is scared

[ *New hidden fear and lore unlocked* ]
I love the fact she almost become no longer afraid of popping balloons then that yellow balloon restored it
*We did it boys, we found her weakness*
We now have a means to defend ourselves
I like to think that this entire game was designed and coded to find something the Owl fears
@@How_Many_Monkeys that would explain the absolute randomness of a room full of balloons.
Just need to get Polka to make some for us
Mumei: I'm a brave owl.

Psychopaths always have the weirdest phobias…
And it's that one phobia that pushed them into being psychopathic.
Mumei's fear of popping balloons just went from the sound to "What else could fly out towards me when they pop besides sound?"
Mumei: I fear no man. But that thing…
Balloon: *_POP_*
Mumei: It scares me.
Should had her just scream when it popped
I think Mumei was fearless until now. Excellent video btw

The balloons popping remind Mumei of her time in the trenches
Seeing Mumei in utter terror is quite blissful to witness and appreciate.
Balloons TD must be the scariest horror game for Mumei
Thank god I’m not alone. I can’t remember exactly when it started but I’m scared of balloons popping, too.

She has a talent for drawing nightmare fuel art. She's not scared of horror, she is the horror
She's adorable!
The "Balloon pop Devil" has appeared!
So, that is true purpose why game developers put popping balloon section. It felt out of place. But, it does make sense now.
I was so happy when this happened because I have the exact same fear as Mumei. I have the worst anxiety attacks when I see balloons because I’m so scared of the sound. As a grown ass adult I have bulldozed my way out of a store, nearly running over children because some kids were running around with balloons they were handing out.
It’s ok Mumei you aren’t alone.
You blew up a balloon as a kid and it popped in your face right?
I have the same fear but with barking dogs. I hate that bark
Same, not only the sound, but the shockwave of the balloon could almost make me faint
I think someone needs a hug.
Imagine mumei playing Bloons td
Mumei: I Fear Nothing But That Thing!
🎈
It Scares Me!
She would have hated me and my buddies. One of our friends was away for the weekend and we filled his room with like 70$ worth of balloons.
I think there's a specific phobia for popping sounds.
She may be the guardian of civilization.
But I feel like we, must protecc this owl.

0:16 she says “lifelong fear,” just thought you’d want to know my friend

The part about being impaled by a nail was irrelevant. It was that it was the loudest balloon pop yet. Truly built different.
Mumei :"Perhaps my fear of popping balloon will gone after this"
RE7 dev : Clancy getting stab by exploding porcupine balloon.
IRyS scared of Santa and now Mumei scared of balloons popping. Yep, that's another one to add to the weird hololive phobia collection.
IRyS wasn't scared of ceiling fans?
Isn't balloons popping a common fear among people?

Mumei probably fears clowns for their balloons alone.
Mumei is an enigma, truly
I have the same fear. I feel so uneasy if I have any rubber balloons near me.
Now i'm wondering if mumei is scared of popping bubble wrap instead of having a satisfied feeling
I love how everyone in the comments makes Mumei quote the Heavy, it really fits tbh
It's an odd fear but not the weirdest.
Mumei being scared of balloons is so precious that I almost cried lmao
An alchemist has found a comrade.
Man Mumei watching IT... just saying...

That’s actually really cute
Explosions? Cool. Gun shots? Lullabies. Balloons popping? The real fear.
Today shall be remembered as Balloons Day~
Thanks for the credit for the Bae art 🙏

Lol that last one popped really hard to be fair.

We must protect owl from evil rubber
I mean, exposure is a viable cure for phobias.
Video game balloons is nothing compared to watching a 1-2 year old child IRL waving around a stick with balloon bigger than their torso around and hitting the ground and the area.
Their parents must be evil giving them a huge balloon and too small to play with.
Then imagine seeing toddlers playing with those metallic wrapped balloon, and trying to bite them.
I see. I was wondering who this room was built for. Lucas knew what she was afraid of. 🙂

No what have you done you told them your weakness
Hard to be scared when you're a literal psychopath. (i mean that in the most respectful way possible. Shes our psycho owl)
Someone fires a machine gun. PAPAPAPAPAPAP
MUMEI: OH NO! BALLOONS POPPING!!
Reminds me of Korone in absolute shambles at the sight of soap
That's Globophobia, Fear of Balloons Popping.
I actually know someone who’s scared of balloons as well

Will this TOWL fears the squirl who popped out bubble wraps?
Out of all things... balloons xD
Goddamnit Mumei hahahaha
Our little owl is so autism-coded and I feel seen! 😂
Mumei is Jerma confirmed
What a perfect moe-gap
I wonder if this fear extends to bubble wrap... Like those big ones that kinda look like sandwich bags filled with air
In any other situation pulling out feather quill pen from the characters stomach she'd make a joke and then ask if she could write with it, cuz blood ink and then likely 'Aww I wanted to draaaw'. But because it was attached to a balloon of all things... its horrible, scary and traumatic.
Kinda like the troll in Hellboy 2. Talks shit to a demon, eats kittens... scared to death of tweety bird.

Ok I've heard of weird fears before, but..........um.........Mumei........seriously wtf???????
How do you scare a bird? Show them guns? Knives? Nope. You just pop a balloon.
