I had to dub over the 2005 webcam scene featured during the intro because some record companies wanted to be dicks about copyright regarding the House Of Pain song 'Jump Around'. So, the joke is somewhat lacking it's original context (because that webcam footage is literally me from 2005 dancing like an idiot to the aforementioned House Of Pain song), but it is what it is. Fuck 'em, carry on.
DiGi Valentine you picked the right sexy female character for this episode
What are you talking about you had the moves
Andrew Barnes no I never dance like that
I’m guessing it was “jump around”
Whats the new song is playing called?
I'd like to believe that when ulala says "when have i ever lost... At dancing" is more of a way for ulala to say "when was the last time i gave up" rather than her saying "i'm better than everyone at dancing" dancing is her power rather than an action. She uses her view rating not just as energy but also purpose as a diva and more importantly a hero.
Don't you worry about Space Channel 5, let me worry about Blank
That intro, man 10/10
I wanna party with him in 2006
View Rating: *OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAND%*
The fact that she hasn’t had her own game in over 10 years is a crime. Great episode.
Zig Zoinks SEGA brought a VR tech demo placing players in the first bit of the first report from the first game to a recent Tokyo Game Show, so it's likely a new game is at least conceptualized since they know the popularity of the series.
New game coming out this month on PlayStation VR!
@@SEGARetroBR WAIT WHAT REALLY??
Yea ma girl needs a new game
@@Lttaylortt VR game released February. Interviews sound like they're happy to make more
I consider Space Channel 5 to be one of the most positive examples of Japanese weirdness.
What's a negative example of japan's weirdness?
@@crybabybf1990 Anything involving sexualization of children, I guess.
@@TheomanZero oh... As for an example of japan's netural weirdness is "nobody can stop mr domino"
@@TheomanZeroGiven that it can also be applied to American culture, it’s a bit of a low-hanging fruit.
I'm surprised we got an Ulala episode.
Honestly, it seems like she's been forgotten by most of the SEGA fans. I almost forgot about her too, tbh.
Nice episode!
No one can ever forget Ulala
Not forgotten yet! Space Channel 5 just got a new installment on VR!
@Amy Rose Sexy Lady Don't care, nobody asked
Plus you're a bot
@Amy Rose Sexy Lady Are you drunk? Neither I nor anyone in this comment thread used that word or has talked about transgender people.
So i guess Ulala is officially MJ's waifu?
maybe
noooooo
@CKFORBES 2 wtf noooo 💀
@@ch3rry-b0mb *wants Ulala all to themselves*
Yes
Just like Nights, Ulala is one of those character from a franchise that i wish Sega would bring back one day...
*Laughs in VR*
@@q-miiproductions878 Its a shame that the game was kinda bad ngl.
@Amy Rose Sexy Lady , ???? What is happening in the answers of my comment?!
@Amy Rose Sexy Lady , i don't know what's your problem but i'm tired of seeing you in my notifications, you need to calm down.

Did she just say oh not there....
Yes.
DiGi Valentine 👌
aaaaaaeeeeehhh LOL!
You've probably seen enough hentai to know where that was going...
Also when she's fighting a boss in the first game, she said that the tongue was slimy, "incredibly slimy" in a very sexual way
That Michael Jackson bit at the end got me feeling a bit emotional
It's okay we all miss hem too
I really hope SEGA revives this series again. Seriously why cant they see how much people love their IPs like Space Channel 5 and Jet Set Radio Evolution. There's Shenmue 3 at least so there is hope
Well, SEGA kinda did with the Space Channel 5 on VR.
Sega really needs to take advantage of it's other franchises. I want to see a new Jet Set Radio in the future.
Unintentional pun?
Silhouetto of a Man OH YOU JUST-
My two favorite sega games lol
Filming that intro was fucking hilarious. Best episode istg XD
Wait, you're a Michael Jackson fan? Now that "Moonwalk" comment for Urien's "What dat again?" makes a lot more sense.
I remember ulala from sonic and Sega all stars racing, that’s the whole damn reason I’m here!
Mine too.
Yea same, when I was younger I'd always play as her. Which was years ago lmao, but just now I finally searched her up. Had no idea she had a game all about her
poggers so am i
I remember unlocking and using Ulala in Sonic Riders
Same here.
Dude , your intro broke my screen. It was that good
Seeing digi lying next to the trash reminds me of myself at the weekends.
Great stuff man.
Mate. That intro was perfect 😂
Wow I had no idea Michael Jackson of all people had that kind of tie with Sega. That explains so much, I’m looking at you Miracle Johnson
Digi, you never fail to entertain you're the real goat of RUclips
I guess it's the "dance *for him*" part that make's Purge's plan evil. I mean everyone kinda dances a lot in this universe already, he just wanted to be the one who sets all the beats out and put himself at the top. Also he's of the school of thought where "if things can't be my way they cant exist at all" and tries to destroy the Universe when things start going pear shaped at the end of Part 2
This series is really great, everytime you talk about a character it makes me wanna play/revisit the games they’re from to live out there experience
Also i think MJ liked Space Channel 5 so much is because how he wanted to use music to bring everyone together just like Ulala does throughout the game.
She's Lady Miss Kier from Deee-Lite. In fact, she unsuccessfully tried to sue Sega for using her likeness without her permission.
ah yes
the best,
the ORGINAL
sega mascot girl
good stuff digi
I did not expect this game to be SO good and addicting. Is anyone else hypnotized by the music and the funny but weird characters interactions?
Forever a Pine stan
Ulala is such a cool character. I’ve always loved her and I’ve never even played the games she’s featured in. Truly iconic.
The Sweet Space Reporter herself. Cool.
Thank You. I've got to say Ulala is one of my favourite characters of all time. Not because of nostalgia but because I enjoy the flamboyant/retro style that Ulala and the Space Chanel 5 games offer and I understood that was both a serious attempt and a parody of the 60s sci-fi scene. And it was also my birthday today so it was a nice surprise :)
Aaah I love that intro that was funny! XD why are you so underrated? We need a guy like you in times like this because well things feel a little down on the RUclips's....so yeah always look forward to your stuff every time you upload!
Dude I sooo remember this game from my childhood! But I don't remember playing it that much. I just finished playing another rhythm game called Bust A Groove for the Ps1.
This intro had me WHEEZING holy shit
My only experience with Ulala as a pretty young, inexperienced gamer was in Sega all stars racing, and she was my favourite to play as!
So yeah, I knew virtually nothing going into this and now I just think she’s incredibly neat :D
What a legend
Am I the only one thinking about what it would be if Parappa and Ulala crosses paths. And yes I know the both belong to different companies, but it could be possible. I mean if we could get a crossover game of Mario and Rabbids, what’s stopping mankind from doing a crossover of Parappa and Ulala. Other than the fact they both haven’t been given any time back in the public eye. And no, I’m not including Parappa’s remaster on PS4.
I think you have the wrong person. The word “trannies” isn’t anywhere in my comment.
That entire bit about MJ hit me real hard in the feels, great episode man :_D
.. You just don't know... How long I've been waiting for this episode. AND we got Digi dancing? This video is already fucking lit.
Dat phone call joke straight up had me laugh my arse off.
More rl skits pls.
At least in space channel 5 VR they got their minds back in place and changed the colors. The main color has became yellow, the white accents has been changed to black to cut the color pallette perfectly. But what I like most is how the changes for the headphones and jetpack doesn't make Ulala any less appealing, the color Grey makes the jetpack stands out from the rest of her items, the yellow from her headphones doesn't blend in thanks to her pink hair, compared to the original this is a huge improvement.
Edit:yellow is my most favourite color and the shade used for the color is the best imo
Pudding: It's me pudding!! Ulala: not again!
10:26 I'm the director of the Sonic Riders Competitive Mod and the team and I were working on HD textures for the character models. Something about Ulala didn't feel right.. I just couldn't pinpoint anything though. I said to myself, "Why doesn't she pop? I'm pretty sure she's supposed to." We questioned if it was the color choice from her first game that made her appearance what it was, but then I immediately thought back to this video and watched the design section again. Your detailed reasoning for her design was hitting all the notes as to why it felt jarring. So we reverted Ulala's outfit in Riders back to deep orange and it looks fantastic, even complimenting the game's simple lighting engine! Thank you so much!
Yeeeesss!!!! I love Ulala and her importance in videogame history is so important. I was 10 when I found out about the Michael Jackson fact and was blown away by that. Thank you for giving my girl the spotlight she deserves. Love this series.
after seeing this episode i really want to see a sega all stars game that has ulala dancing with bayonetta. also wow i really shed a tear hearing that mj had such a love for ulala and space channel's style, really makes me appreciate sega's ip's a lot more and hope they bring space channel 5 back alongside nights, jet set radio, dinosaur king, billy hatcher and skies of arcadia.
Get Ulala on Smash godammit
to make things worse, Purge was 18.
yeah, you heard me right. *18.*
he can't even drink yet. he just got out of *HIGHSCHOOL.*
and he managed to kidnap basically the entire galaxy. at the age of 18. seriously, how?
She is always one of my favs in cameos. Always nice to have her in cross overs like Project X Zone
_Dayum,_ Digi! Your dancing skills back in the day were on _point!_
This was an amazing analyzation of Ulala. I will definitely be showing this to my friends whenever they ask why I love the game and the character so much.
That intro was amazing. Never smiled and giggled so much at one of your videos. It's nice to have a change in style once in a blue moon.
This straight up makes me want to play Space Channel 5 for the music alone.
oh, man, I miss the old Sega. I miss the creativity they used to have back in the 90s and how they didn't depend on any one franchise to sustain themselves so they weren't afraid to create IPs like this
Holy moly! Never thought I'd see such a fantastic character breakdown. Great job!
This was definitely a classic. Also 2005 DiGi has some mad dancing skills 11/10
Man these dance moves are so awesome. I wish i would have such great dance moves and would be so cool.
Yaaaaaas, thank you, Digi!!! You summed up this series perfectly. Thank you!
I love you and your channel so much, Digi. Your tastes and design analysis are amazing.
So I've been playing Part 2 recently on Steam. I had already watched this video prior and have seen Ulala around in crossover appearances for years but having actually gotten my hands on one of the titles to witness SC5's charm firsthand. I gotta say it has easily become one of my favorite Sega franchises and gaming franchises as a whole now. This series has so much love and energy put into it, and while its unexpectedly very challenging, I haven't felt as much hype for completing parts of a game as i do this one in a VERY long time. The ppl you rescue marching and dancing alongside you, how the music and victory moments change depending on how many you saved, the instrument face offs, the different outfits, getting the poses right at the end if a segment, the primary supporting cast like Pudding, Pine and Space Michael, literally everything about Reports 4 and 5 (battle of the bands genuinely one of the hypest moments of gaming idc lol) its all so energizing. And i feel that was the devs' goal, to get the player in the groove for lack of a better term. Its no wonder i tend to play it best when my body is subconsciously moving with the beats. Ulala has now become one of the quintessential figures of gaming for me personally, if we're talking Sega, she's only behind the blue blur himself for me. I'm glad the series is back with Kinda Funky News Flash (worth a Who Dat Again in the future maybe? Lol). I absolutely look forward watching more of this awesome Report Show.
Thank you so much for this video, being someone who loves Ulala! I still remember all that time I dedicated to the Space Channel 5 games on the PS3 and wrote a trophy guide for it since I wanted to help others.
Awesome intro and great dance moves Digi! Ehhhhhh!
I knew this was gonna be my new favorite Who Dat episode the instant the intro played. Now I'm remembering how much I love the music from these games. Great video dood!
Glad you put in a pic connecting Space Channel 5 with MJ's Scream music video.
Fun fact: In that music video there are monitors showing the main character from the Tatsunoko anime Zillion. Taking that further, there were 2 Zillion games on the Sega Master System. The first one was amazing to me as a kid; it was a great Metroidvania. Anyway, there's another MJ/Sega connection... Kind of.
In other news, new job meens patreon donation incoming soon!
Got my top 5 gaming requests ready: Tails, Rouge, Talim, Seong Mi-Na and Raphael.
Thank you for this video! I've been on a Space Channel 5 kick for, like, a month
You’re surprisingly good at dancing
Great video Digi! I finally get to know this character! Thanks!
I never picked this game up, even after I got a Dreamcast again to visit the old classics, but now I think I'm gonna go looking for it. You've done it again, DiGi
Gotta say man, I keep being impressed by how much you put into those videos. I especially love the original art by Sami (I assume) and remixes by Sir J are always something that imo makes your vids stand out a lot.
Jet Set Radio character soon? o:
Cereal Killha - CLK I agree
Does Gum have her own game
the best opening omg (great analysis as always man! Ulala rocks ♥)
It’s great to see you again! Keep up the good work!
Dude I love your channel! I just found you today and I love it!!!!!!!!! And I hardly subscribe to new creators nowadays
Thao Vy Lengo nobody cares ur opinion
Damn! That Trivia about MJ really made me smile as well.
Wonderful video as always, DIGI!
And just for a reminder, if you have a spot for the guest artist (either for SEGA character or somebody else), I’m always ready to draw for you and your show, man!
(pretty please(!))
Sick moves in that intro, fam! :D
Ulala truly is one of a kind. ^^
She got raferenced in Megas-XLR as the girl from Dance Dance
This is the first time I've even heard of space channel 5 and it looks good :o Heheh awesome video.
High quality intro. 😂😂😂
Also appreciated the time dedicated to speaking about Michael Jackson's involvement in this game toward the end there. Fun SEGA factoids!!
Great work DiGi, Smai, and Sir J!! (And TRiPPY for battling the weather. lol)
That intro had me crying, good stuff man.
Shame we'll probably never see her in Smash, she'd be pretty darn fun to play as.
You know those videos you smash the like button on before you even finished watching? This is one of them.
I love it😁😁 Digi, you are hilarious and your videos are phenomenal, NO VALHEART EMBLEM THOUGH?!?!
OMG I SAW THIS JUST NOW idk how I could forger about your awesome channel
That Intro is *Gold* 💀
I laughed so hard Digi! Great humour as always!
Great episode man, really well written. I love your videos. (Insert Marty saying "Ulala" here)
DIGI. MY GUY. THAT INTRO WAS EXCELLENT.
The art Digi uses always has me quaking imo 💀
Yup. The minute I saw her... Instant crush lol. Couldn’t help but get the game straightaway
Another fantastic video and what an intro! Love seeing more Dreamcast games and still hoping for additional Shenmue characters to get some love.
Ohh yeah, i got my Ulala Figmas the same day you upload this videos. Now this is a good day for me
I love this channel because it revisits my childhood and I wish every body wash your vids keep up the good work
Dangit Digi, you mentioning Shang Tsung makes me want a Who Dat in Mortal Kombat. I also accept BlazBlue or Killer Instinct as substitutes.
I couldn't like this video enough this is in my Top 5 Games of all time. I love that you care and love the series too. I hope one day she will make an appearance in a new title that isn't a SEGA all stars game.
Finally ulala is ULALA if you know what I mean
BOIIII THIS IS MY FAVORITE EP
THAT INTO IS EVERYTHING
Also impeccable timing once again since everyone just started getting their Ulala figmas shipped to them. haha
I'm both hyped and really worried about the new mobile VR coming out, but at least it's *something*.
Do you have a degree in art design or something because you expertly dissect every character's design in all of your videos.
Nice video Digi. By the way, love the intro. 'Shoot me' lol.
Rest In Peace Michael Jackson.
We'll miss U!!!
I like your content. Hope to see more!
Since disco is a popular thing again I feel like they should give her a rehaul and bring her back she deserves it. this game is kinda cool still even if just for the fabulousness of it all 😂
When I saw the thumbnail I almost passed out
The artwork for her that you have is really good
I'm pretty sure Purge was just a fuckin nut who wanted pure chaos and destruction. His major goal over the course of the game is to assemble his mega death ray thingy, and once he gets it fully charged, he doesn't force people to dance, he just tries to blow the shit out of everything. The most obvious bit here is when he's attempting to fire and everyone's using their Groove Energy to stop it, when he says, "dance yourselves to hell, see if I care!". Purge just wants to fuck shit up bruv.
the live action intros in the recent episodes are great!
