Time to talk about the crazed jungle man Blanka! Patreon (purely optional) - www.patreon.com/user?u=3786707 Follow me: / historybehin. . Watch me stream at / profile
The worst meme of all time has to be "are we gonna pretend" "are we just gonna act like" . Here it doesn't even make sense, nobody got him clothes we don't have to pretend, it's true.
After the plane crash, he grew up in the Amazon jungle being raised by wild animals. He was nicknamed "Blanka" due to the locals seeing a pale boy (maybe they thought him a girl?) appearing periodically in populated areas. He supposedly learned how to harness electricity from eels (what?) and attained his green skin from using a special plant chlorophyll as camouflage which then became permanent. He also has a pet anaconda which you can see in the background of his stages in Alpha 3 and II.
Brandoloneous The name makes sense as blanca/blanco means white in Spanish, in portuguese, Brazil's main language it's branca/branco however. But the Street fight writers obviously don't know a thing about biology, harnessing electricity from eels? And gaining its power? Rubbing a plant on his skin making him permanently green? Dafuq?
And if they saw a boy in the town they let him go back to the jungle? No one tried to help him? And why would he return to the jungle if he found civilization? Illogical
I gotta say I like blanka. The way he grew up alone in one of the most deadliest jungles on the planet, the way he got his power, and the way he was reunited with his mother. And the fact that he enter the tournament to earn the respect of the people of his village was just icing on the cake.
I always thought that blanks was just Charlie after he was captured by bison and used as an experiment you can even see on marvel superheroes vs streetfighter if you pic shadow Charlie and play the level that blanks is in the background blanka disappeares during any Charlie fight . According to street fighter 2c he movie back in the day that is how it happened
Lol. Dr dhalsim. dj the computer expect. balrog the camera man. chun li the news reporter. e honda the van driver. ryu and Ken the gun runners. out of all those id have to say the Carlos blanka was the worst!
I'll be honest here when i first saw Blanka in the Street Fighter 4 trailer i thought he was going to be one of those characters whose is a bad guys or be a crazed up character who's only interested in fighting, hurting people, eating any living thing he comes a cross you know what i mean because of his look i saw. But after seeing this here and hearing about his story it's seems Blanka is actually nice and innocent one of the good guys which i'm kinda actually glad he is.
The live action Movie and the Saturday morning cartoon screwed up Blanka's concept. Its like the writers didn't know a Tarzan concept when they saw it.
According to the Udon comics, Shadaloo set up a research lab in the Amazon rainforest, and polluted the local area with chemical byproducts of its research. This was the area of the Amazon where Jimmy grew up, so the chemicals absorbed by plants which he fed on mutated him and are responsible for his green skin and beastly appearance. Jimmy had to learn to survive in the jungle all by himself, and fight off the wild creatures there and kill some for food. He swam in rivers filled with electric eels, and somehow not only developed an immunity to their bioelectric shocks, but was able to absorb that ability himself. Pretty wonky pseudo-science, but there you have it.
Blanca's first appearance was in Street Fighter II back in like 1991 more or less. Street Fighter Alpha 3 was Blanca's like 6th appearance in a street fighter games. Street Fighter turbo, the new challengers, world warrior, Than super street fighter also turbo, hyper, remixed, and super edition all including Blanca, than street fighter ex 2, street fighter ex plus alpha as an unlockable character.... than probably street fighter alpha 3.
Blanka’s real origin is he was a soldier with the AN and guile’s friend. He was taken hostage by Bison, who then experimented on Carlos and he mutated into Blanka with Dahlsim’s reluctant help. He fought Guile, but lost bad and so ashamed of himself, he stayed inside Bison’s exploding Evil Lair.
Blanca will come back. Any loved character from SFII will always come back. Like a comic book, soap opera, or WWE they always bring back the money makers.
The plant chlorophyll making him green makes zero sense as the outer skin cells are replaced every 28 days. Seems like they just wanted the hulk in street fighter and had to retcon a backstory on the fly.
... I'm confused why you say Dan gives Blanka the 'nickname' Jimmy. The bit of dialogue you show around the exact same time makes it pretty clear Dan recognizes him... being Dan this could be a mistake, granted, but then Blanka immediately responds "Oh! My dear old friend Dan!" - seems to me that they were friends prior to this introduction, possibly even as kids before Jimmy got lost. Admittedly that makes it weird that Blanka didn't know he was Jimmy in SF 2, but since when are these games perfect with canon, particularly jumping around timeline wise?
I'm going to be honest, I watched almost all of your videos and I love them, I like your attitude and humor, but maybe the ending and intro feels like it could be better in some way... but still this is just my opinion ^^
There is no cannon is the SF series. The cannon is what ever your favorite character's story is. BTW love, just love your series and attention to detail!
I have to say BRO BLANKA IS JUST SO FUCKIN INOCENT. I feel sad about that he lost humanity bro! And also look I just think he is cute. He's atitude, the way he talks it's just so cute that he doesn't talk so well ajshauhahahahaha BLANKA IS JUST SO INOCENT
Blanka's plane crash mutated him dammit, go and read the storyline which made him look green and after enduring so much hate and getting judged by people he became feral and animalistic.
Wait wait wait wait wait….Bkanka is in Street Fighter 2…. He wasn’t first in Alpha 3…..He is in the Street Fighter film from 1994…which is before Street Fighter 3 even!!! What?!?!
Игры
He got his electrical power from eating eels and his skin turned green from the algae chlorophyll
genjutsu shinobi which is total bs and inaccurate
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess it’s a fucking video game geek 🤓
Dan is truly a good friend for being able to remember and recognize Blanka along with his real name.
Soo we r just gonna pretend that after meeting his mom...traveling abroad and returning...nobody got him a shirt and pants that fit?
I'm sure they offered him clothes but he chooses not to wear them
Bro, if I was that jacked and shredded, I'd never wear a shirt!
The worst meme of all time has to be "are we gonna pretend" "are we just gonna act like" . Here it doesn't even make sense, nobody got him clothes we don't have to pretend, it's true.
Don’t know but in Fortnite he’s dripped out has shades and nice grey suit
@Buggle Magnum this response had me laughing. Spot on dude!

Capcom and science are two things that don't mix well.
Brandoloneous how did he turn green
I always thought Blanca was charlie on whom M. Bison did experiments.
I gotta say I like blanka. The way he grew up alone in one of the most deadliest jungles on the planet, the way he got his power, and the way he was reunited with his mother. And the fact that he enter the tournament to earn the respect of the people of his village was just icing on the cake.

True

We try very hard not to lol
You stop that
Lol.

In the movie Blanka is a soldier guiles friend who became a monster because of Bison who put him in a machine and made him like that
he can shoot lightning cause he ate electric ells and had to cover his body with green stuff as camaflosh from bigger animals
Jordan Goertz Which is scientifically inaccurate btw
The live action Movie and the Saturday morning cartoon screwed up Blanka's concept. Its like the writers didn't know a Tarzan concept when they saw it.
Blanka is coming next year for SFV S3 lol yes
Wezilla 20 feb.
hellatze Yes big day on 20 Feb.
Been waiting for this video for the longest time! Blanka is one of my fav SF Characters
Blanka is the most wholesome character in SFV. Change my mind
I'd love to see a history of Deejay or Birdie
same
RaymonZX200 I hear you bro
Birdie was in the original sf but damn that game sucked sf2 tho was amazing
Blanka 1st appearance was in street fight 2 get your story right
A scientist that had an experiment gone wrong. What the animated series. Its pretty spot on.

He's not just hulk he's also sonic because he has the ability to roll to a bull
@TKHulk (ToonamiKusagari) sonicpikahulk
blanka is aculy original from street fighter 1 in 1992
I´m confused now. If Dan came up with the nickname Jimmy - Why does his mother, who supposedly never met Dan, call him that?
Back to SF2 Blanka story is kinda touched for the mother & child reunion. But it turns to comical comedy appearance since he met Sakura & Dan XDXD
I'd vote for Blanka
Blanca will come back. Any loved character from SFII will always come back. Like a comic book, soap opera, or WWE they always bring back the money makers.
Ele é simplesmente o maior brasileiro da história.
My favourite character in Street Fighter.
Fantastic video
Actually it was street fighter 2 that blanka appeared in look it up
Think alpha takes place before street fighter 2.
The plant chlorophyll making him green makes zero sense as the outer skin cells are replaced every 28 days. Seems like they just wanted the hulk in street fighter and had to retcon a backstory on the fly.
Awwww his story is heartbreaking but glad he was loved in the end!!
It's about time
For me a Street Fighter game without Blanka is not a Street Fighter game
He's been hinted at by the playstation King commercial
great video ive always liked blanka. dont forget fatal fury when you have time or lee from tekken.
My sf4 main ❤️
mine too
No blanks was first introduced in street fighter 2 championships edition
this was an awesome episode. What movie are the clips from
Street Fighter is simply not Street Fighter without Blanka.
And then he started selling blanka dolls
Blanka is a mainstay
Did anyone see that eyedol reference ending on the old killer instinct games at 1:18
anyone know the outro song
I became Blanka at the Mayan ruins Phoenix Arizona on Van Buren. . .
History of Daegon!
TheMKPotato These two characters powerful lineage and roles qualify them to be MAJOR characters in the next game bro seriously
Give my comment a like so he can see!
I'm still wondering what's this guy intro theme
I remember when I was younger I did think he was Hulk
How young.....cuz they look very different lol
@@markelkhatib2524 shut up you know nothing about games do you

When I was little I was terrified of Brazil and Brazilians, the game gave me the impression there was multiple Blankas running around 😂🤷🏼♀️
Haha
Dude what's ur intro song name I like the beat
Anyone knows the song at 1:48?
what was the soundtrack in this video :O I can't remember the name :/
I'm going to be honest, I watched almost all of your videos and I love them, I like your attitude and humor, but maybe the ending and intro feels like it could be better in some way... but still this is just my opinion ^^
I kinda want to see blanka come back. Like maybe his mother is kidnapped or something pisses him off so he goes on a rampage and defeats everybody.
Blanka more like the3birdman
Thank you for making this. I love Blanka he is my favorite character in street fighter.
whats the intro song
I too enjoy Blanka
There is no cannon is the SF series. The cannon is what ever your favorite character's story is. BTW love, just love your series and attention to detail!
Everyone is affected in some way by sin tournament
He's wild but nice
Thanks for the info on Blanka. Sorry you had to go through all that trouble finding out his canon history
I thought his mom named him jimmy

Plot twist Blanka is just an incarnation of Ogre(tekken)...think about ittt 🤔
Yea kinda expected a short video for Blanka

I have to say BRO BLANKA IS JUST SO FUCKIN INOCENT. I feel sad about that he lost humanity bro!

Wait wait wait wait wait….Bkanka is in Street Fighter 2…. He wasn’t first in Alpha 3…..He is in the Street Fighter film from 1994…which is before Street Fighter 3 even!!! What?!?!
I used to like Blanka as a character until Street Fighter X Tekken. It's such a pain in the ass to fight him that I hate him now...
I wish he was in Street Fighter V.
You should get some Tekken characters in the mix
Bruh what you mean cannon he been cannon since SF2
