I was actually quite the pyromaniac as a child. I loved setting things on fire. So did my brother, actually. I feel like there is a very pure and childlike element of being fascinated by fire.
9:43 I love how Pyro looks so sad in the submarine. I have always envisioned Pyro as a man due to the weapons they make, in that they are not just homemade but also comical in proportions. It just seems like something a man would be more likely to due. (Also, I am well aware of Pyrovision. However, I took a look at his voice lines and found that they all suggest Pyro can see outside the goggles, which I know is not true, but that's why I put this here. To show that I am aware of the vision thingy)
You forgot to include pyro's idle animation of when their team lost a match. But wow, I love your videos and this one was so interesting. It really was messing around with my head. Keep up the great work :)
I don’t think pyro is gay for the soul reason that the pink flower handbag blends into pyroland so they would have it since they wouldn’t be able to tell the difference from any other bag
Theory on the pyrovision I've always had since I've had to work in respirators and masks before is that he see that stuff because of oxygen deprivation or contaminated filters. Like if you are in suit or on air tank too long you start to get kind of delirious and some people start to see things that arent there.
@@rotta4667 Pronouns used by other people other than oneself aren't an indicative of gender. Though Pyro may be a "he", while their gender is unknown, You can refer to them as "it" or "them".
“We never even hired Pyro, they just wandered onto the battlefield one day and started burning the other team alive. We can’t get them to go away. Please send help.”
“He just... came up to us, he stayed in our base... when we tried to force him out... he just... wow.... He’s just wandering here, is he looking at me? Oh boy... what’s he doing? Pyro- PYRO NO-“ (Blog closed -engineer)
Nobody is gonna mention that great part from the comics where pyro kills a baby bear with a fire axe cause it thought the bear said fire is nobodys friend whilst looking like bargain bin smokey the bear
Also, something worth noticing is that all of the Pyro's primary weapons, with the exception of the Phlog and the Dragon's Breath, which are explicitly said to have been given to him, are all made out of random assorted crap, which kind of implies that Pyro's got a pretty decent grasp of mechanical engineering, which may explain how he can do more damage to the sentries and destroy sappers with the Homewrecker, since he realizes how to hit them in the right place, as well as his friendship with Engie. Hell, if you want to get technical (Apart from the shotguns, obviously, which the other classes can also use, so I'm guessing those are just standard issue for all mercs, and the Manmelter, which was given to him) Pyro's secondaries and melee weapons aren't actually weapons, but household instruments and tools he somehow managed to put to very good use at killing people, if he wasn't so goddamn insane, I'd imagine he'd actually be a pretty smart guy, which the comics do allude to. And no, a fire axe is not a weapon, it's made to carve doors in, not skulls.
According to Halloween cosmetics, Pyro is either a lizard, ghost, robot, slime monster, skeleton, margarita, living pieces of fruit, or just doesn't exist.
It makes wayy more sense that pyro just wandered into the battlefield and started burning down the enemy base I don’t even think there is actual confirmation pyro gets paid
That would probably just confirm Pyro is a man and Medic had nothing to be suprised of and proceeded as usual, so yeagh , but I think they could still make a lot of story of his psychological stuff or ..
He might have lost his medical licence, but I suppose the doctor-patient confidentiality could be the one thing he'd keep. No one would like to know about Spy's STD's or Engineer's prostate problems.
I always just like to think it’s a person in a suit being a child... I don’t care about the face or the gender, I just love the personality, especially the way he’s talked at like a child, it both hilarious and heart warming
Imagine: the year is 20XX, The final major tf2 update is being released. A 5 minute cinematic drops, and the comments are disabled. It's just pyro staring at the camera, breathing, until the very end, when he slowly and dramatically takes off his mask, revealing... Gaben himself. "After X years, hopefully it was worth the wait"... Fans rejoice at a famous mystery being solved, and tf2 is never updated again.
I mean i can see it happen in the tf2 universe I would think that to raise an insane madman to kill you don't have to bioengineer it just give it goggles that obsecure his vision making him think he is doing good instead of killing them
Quick correction. At one point in A Cold Day in Hell (in the main comic series), Pyro is actually shown to have knowledge that they are holding an axe, and that it does not good things to bears. So they know what they're doing, but willfully ignore it, and probably often forget about it entirely. Also, from a death screenshot of Pyro, where your various body parts are labeled as "Your arm!" or "Your heart!" there is one part that is labeled as "Your womb!" However, that could just be a baboon uterus Medic put in there, like he did with the classic team. So still ambiguous sex.
@@pyrofromtf2 Absolutely based wrathful pyromaniac fighting for his life from his sheer rage at a PSA Cartoon Bear, now I want to see this with "big bear" being pit against pyro as opposed to the metal heavy nicked "little bear", can pyro outsmart bullet to save fire?
Mr. e if anything the whole story ark is really interesting, comics wise. Thought the last comic came out in 2017...... so I’m stuck waiting for the finale (if valve ever publishes it)
I like the concept of Pyro not really having a specified gender/ character look. I like the mysterious side of him paired with the danger/childish part just makes him up to however interpretation.
Today's episode of the life of Pyro: Mom said I had to do something that required covering people in sparkly rainbows. Then I had to give all of them lollipops. Today was a good day.
Story time: When I was real young, my dad used to have this big collection of computer games on a rack, and he used to let me look at the cases. He had the Orange Box (‘cause he’s awesome like that), and the TF2 portion always interested me the most. Due to the picture being low quality (and me having not-great eyes), I thought the pyro was a sapient monkey in a suit with a flamethrower. And that’s still my head canon. Ya gotta love imagination.
Well i mean poopy joe was evidently smart enough to be able to fly a rocket and use a sword, so a chimp or something like that putting on a fireproof suit and dicking around with a flame thrower fits pretty nicely into canon
I'm very sure that Mrs Pauling or at least the Administrator knows the Pyro's identity. They don't seem like the type to not keep tabs on their employees
@@BananaDispenser How would medic know its gender? And Engie isn't in a "father son relationship" he's a texan. The whole father son thing is just expressions and sayings.
@@KalleBerendijk The medic acces the heart by partially destroying the ribcage, and reaching under the remaining ribcage. The entire rib cage is not destroyed in meet the medic.
Here's my small theory on pyro: Pyro, wether female or male, was involved in a government experiment. The experiment would be the mask in which he/she wears. The mask, would hijack the brains visual percepors, and project a much less threatening image, when in a threatening situation. The theory being, that this would make it easier to deal with the consequences of combat. However, during the experiment, something goes wrong. And the mask gets stuck to his/her face, leading to eventual insanity. Knowing what they see isn't what's actually happening, but being able to do nothing about it, would drive them insane. Never knowing what's real and what isn't. Thus, a short time later, (likely a week later) they would escape the facility, in a fluster and rage, and go on about life. Lost, confused, and certifiably insane. Until one day, a "kind" person, would come along, and offer them a job, something interesting to do. And that's pyro. Wether male or female. :D
I like to think Pyro wasn't even hired or sought after by Pauling or the Administrator. They just showed up one day homemade flamethrower in hand and ready to spread joy.
A Furry Fox universe of Russian shiz Mother Russia no, if you put the googles on the “sane” Mercs seem insane like the pyro. So whatever is happening with the pyro. It’s the goggles
All I know about Pyro is that they're a kid in a mann's body, likes fire, sees the world in a much mote wholesome light than expected, makes the fearless afraid, and has definitely been rewarded candy after missions.
5:29 Soldier: "Ha! You fight like a girl!" Me: An oldie, but a goodie. Demo: "Go home, lassie! Men are fightin' here!" Engie: "Sorry, ma'am." Me: That last one was polite and rude. Sniper: *starts writing a diss track* Me: Not only does he drink piss. But he spits it back out in the form of poor sportsmanship.
Pyro is just a living flame retardant suit and gas mask with nothing inside of it. Revised theory: Pyro is just a living, *organic* flame retardant suit and gas mask, which means that the suit and mask are its skin. This could also explain the organs inside of Pyro.
Seeing as Pyro made up a scenario in which attacking a cute (but in reality a life-threatening) bear would be justified, I believe he does have a better idea about what the world looks like than we think, and she somewhat knows Pyroland is made up. It seems that her mind is just trying to make all the violence feel fun and non-scary, shielding them from any trauma, maybe after living through some nasty stuff. And since TF2 universe is kinda non-angsty, this would probably stay untouched, just as whatever Medic did during the WWII.
Honestly, if Pyro's a girl, I could see them being like.. a rather masculine Scottish or Russian woman with frizzy/curly hair, probably sounds lower-pitched than an average woman.
I have the headcanon that whatever they are, Pyro isnt exactly human. I like the radiation idea, hence the gas mask. A demon is also plausable. Also fun fact: Pyros flamethrower is just a leafblower attached to a propane tank which is why he can also airdry people in game :0
My theory is that he is some guy who got disfigured as a child, probably because of accidents with fire and yeah he got ptsd and his parents got him the mask to help him overcome his fear of fire, which he now loves.
Pyro in the meet the pyro video makes pyro seem like a cold blooded murderer but in the comics pyro acts and looks like a child i mean just look at it! Sooo cuute! Also in the expiration date pyro chases the little bread monster like it's a dog.
Gaben: You can ask me any question I'll answer all of them Me: Where is HL3 Gaben: No anything but that. Me: What is under Pyro's mask? Gaben: Not that too.
@@trollsing And it has become one of the greatest shows ever, very close to finishing off it's fourth season, and then will proceed to start it's spinoff show, TPOT.
Some speculation about "Pyrovision" or just Pyro's POV. The visuals we see in "Meet the Pyro" are not actually what Pyro sees, they are meerly a representation of Pyro's mind, like when a child plays with a toy gun, they percieve it differently than we do. Namely, Pyro's association with fire is skewed into a good thing, rather than a bad one. Pyro is a competent fighter and knows to use fire to defend itself, as seen in "Expiration Date", where the Pyro can be seen dodging a tentacle and then blasting the monster with fire at the last moment, saving himself from getting chomped. He knows pain, and he knows to protect himself from threats, but his mentality is that it is all fun and games when it comes to fire. Fire good, other violence bad.
@@bunnienotbudgie9272 Heres my theories on that. 1: pyro was severely burned or harmed in and accident causing pyro to have the mental capacity of a child. Engineer made the goggles so it doesn't see the real world anymore 2: (something else that happened after it got hurt) Engineer developed the goggles so other people could try to understand Pyro but most (except Pauling) refused because they didnt want to see what he sees. Except probably medic who doesn't care because hes already mad. 3: medic experimented on Pyro and thats what caused him to act like that. Or the reason he needs the goggles. Nobody knows except Engineer and obviously Pauling. Pauling because she is on both teams and watches them to make sure the announcers plan works. Engineer because he is "close" with the medic as shown in the "teleporting bread scene" and probably where the Medic's gear comes from. Also engineer is close with the announcer. He is the reason she still is alive.
Idea: Many old gas mask filters contained asbestos, which is known to cause cancer. Pyro wears that mask constantly, and so it is possible he has inhaled asbestos from the gas mask filter and got lung cancer, and the cancer spread to his brain, where the tumours have led to severe hallucinations.
"a childlike mind and interest" I can confirm I too was a serial arsonist by the time I was eight.
I was actually quite the pyromaniac as a child. I loved setting things on fire. So did my brother, actually. I feel like there is a very pure and childlike element of being fascinated by fire.
Hell, I'm still a pyro, just not a maniac.

Story time:
When I was real young, my dad used to have this big collection of computer games on a rack, and he used to let me look at the cases. He had the Orange Box (‘cause he’s awesome like that), and the TF2 portion always interested me the most. Due to the picture being low quality (and me having not-great eyes), I thought the pyro was a sapient monkey in a suit with a flamethrower. And that’s still my head canon. Ya gotta love imagination.
Well i mean poopy joe was evidently smart enough to be able to fly a rocket and use a sword, so a chimp or something like that putting on a fireproof suit and dicking around with a flame thrower fits pretty nicely into canon
@@mercwiththemouthsnewphone6798 It makes sense. But I seem to be the only one with this view, soooooo
I'm very sure that Mrs Pauling or at least the Administrator knows the Pyro's identity. They don't seem like the type to not keep tabs on their employees
if anyone would know pyro's identity i would be medic since he did need to do surgery on him so he could uber her
@@BananaDispenser The uber surgery does not require the patient take of its mask.
@@aqz7603 Yeah but he needs access to the heart which is in the chest and... Well... You can figure out the rest.
@@BananaDispenser How would medic know its gender? And Engie isn't in a "father son relationship" he's a texan. The whole father son thing is just expressions and sayings.
@@KalleBerendijk The medic acces the heart by partially destroying the ribcage, and reaching under the remaining ribcage. The entire rib cage is not destroyed in meet the medic.
Here's my small theory on pyro:
Pyro, wether female or male, was involved in a government experiment. The experiment would be the mask in which he/she wears. The mask, would hijack the brains visual percepors, and project a much less threatening image, when in a threatening situation. The theory being, that this would make it easier to deal with the consequences of combat.
However, during the experiment, something goes wrong. And the mask gets stuck to his/her face, leading to eventual insanity. Knowing what they see isn't what's actually happening, but being able to do nothing about it, would drive them insane. Never knowing what's real and what isn't. Thus, a short time later, (likely a week later) they would escape the facility, in a fluster and rage, and go on about life. Lost, confused, and certifiably insane.
Until one day, a "kind" person, would come along, and offer them a job, something interesting to do.
And that's pyro. Wether male or female. :D
Best theory ever
@@chernobylnerd6381 thanks. :)
@@mr_h831 ur welcome
ok :)
Whoa that's just Awesome
I like to think Pyro wasn't even hired or sought after by Pauling or the Administrator. They just showed up one day homemade flamethrower in hand and ready to spread joy.
There's a theory that engineer made pyro's flamethrower
But I also think the administrator wanted to keep an eye on pyro
It would be hilarious if that's how he actually joined
And fire…….lots and lots of fire………
I heard he was a damn good cook

so for short he's insane
A Furry Fox universe of Russian shiz Mother Russia no, if you put the googles on the “sane” Mercs seem insane like the pyro. So whatever is happening with the pyro. It’s the goggles
FadedFlame I know but he might actually have gone insane having them on for so long or he just takes them off
@@fadedflame2537 so the goggles make him insane?

"you know what you and jane austin both have in common? You're both dead woman" not gonna lie i really love that line

Pyro is just a living flame retardant suit and gas mask with nothing inside of it.
Revised theory:
Pyro is just a living, *organic* flame retardant suit and gas mask, which means that the suit and mask are its skin. This could also explain the organs inside of Pyro.
But why it have a blood? And gibs dont look like a part of suit
okay fair point
He also have a skull
There’s no one inside, it’s just animated blood and bones, but that’s just a theory. A... okay I’ll stop.
Medic changed his heart so he would be able to über pyro.
Seeing as Pyro made up a scenario in which attacking a cute (but in reality a life-threatening) bear would be justified, I believe he does have a better idea about what the world looks like than we think, and she somewhat knows Pyroland is made up. It seems that her mind is just trying to make all the violence feel fun and non-scary, shielding them from any trauma, maybe after living through some nasty stuff. And since TF2 universe is kinda non-angsty, this would probably stay untouched, just as whatever Medic did during the WWII.
Please, we all know what Medic did during WW2.
Hey, that’s exactly what I think!
you forgot to say that at the end of the expiration day short, pyro plays with a small bread monster :p
Cute
Cerebral Nova
it’s still a short
That was cute tho right
Awww
BlλckMesa it’s his pet
I remember in 2010, I joked that Pyro was an elderly Japanese man with no teeth. Standing by it lol
Honestly, if Pyro's a girl, I could see them being like.. a rather masculine Scottish or Russian woman with frizzy/curly hair, probably sounds lower-pitched than an average woman.
That hurt my brain
@@themalcahtwinz4743 s ame
Yeah I agree
4:58 i think the ''if he even is a man'' refers to him being seen as a monster
and the characters reffering to Pyro as a woman are mostly mocking him
That makes sense
It can mean both things, let's be honest.
rlira yeah, people mostly see that as a hint to him being a woman, I think they meant if he even is a person.

pyro is from italy because you can hear him muffling the words “mamma mia” and one of his weapons is the nastramo napalmer
That's a stretch
Well that's stereotypical
Nostromo Napalmer is a reference to Aliens, dude.
Pyro in Italian would be: Piromane/Piro... I like this
Bolt The Blur You know what, you’re absolutely right.
A true Scotsman wouldn’t hunt Nessie. They’d share that bottle of Scrumpy with her.
I adore how every time you do the timeline you say "the TF classic team... And medic"
It would be funny if they removed Pyro's mask and it’s revelled that they’re a mole-man, or mutant, or something.
I have the headcanon that whatever they are, Pyro isnt exactly human. I like the radiation idea, hence the gas mask. A demon is also plausable. Also fun fact: Pyros flamethrower is just a leafblower attached to a propane tank which is why he can also airdry people in game :0
My headcanon is that pyro's face is actually the gas mask and he's some sort of alien
If engineer without his goggles is disturbing af, what could pyro be?
Imagine if there was a mask under pyro's mask but instead of a normal gasmask, its a gas mask made of flesh and meat with its face under there
My theory is that he is some guy who got disfigured as a child, probably because of accidents with fire and yeah he got ptsd and his parents got him the mask to help him overcome his fear of fire, which he now loves.
Every russian ever: *i don't fear no man*
*But that thing*

Some speculation about "Pyrovision" or just Pyro's POV. The visuals we see in "Meet the Pyro" are not actually what Pyro sees, they are meerly a representation of Pyro's mind, like when a child plays with a toy gun, they percieve it differently than we do. Namely, Pyro's association with fire is skewed into a good thing, rather than a bad one. Pyro is a competent fighter and knows to use fire to defend itself, as seen in "Expiration Date", where the Pyro can be seen dodging a tentacle and then blasting the monster with fire at the last moment, saving himself from getting chomped. He knows pain, and he knows to protect himself from threats, but his mentality is that it is all fun and games when it comes to fire. Fire good, other violence bad.

@@bunnienotbudgie9272 Heres my theories on that.
1: pyro was severely burned or harmed in and accident causing pyro to have the mental capacity of a child. Engineer made the goggles so it doesn't see the real world anymore
2: (something else that happened after it got hurt) Engineer developed the goggles so other people could try to understand Pyro but most (except Pauling) refused because they didnt want to see what he sees. Except probably medic who doesn't care because hes already mad.
3: medic experimented on Pyro and thats what caused him to act like that. Or the reason he needs the goggles. Nobody knows except Engineer and obviously Pauling. Pauling because she is on both teams and watches them to make sure the announcers plan works. Engineer because he is "close" with the medic as shown in the "teleporting bread scene" and probably where the Medic's gear comes from. Also engineer is close with the announcer. He is the reason she still is alive.
“Cheer up, Squid, it could be worse!”
“Yeah! You could be bald and have a big nose!”
Idea: Many old gas mask filters contained asbestos, which is known to cause cancer. Pyro wears that mask constantly, and so it is possible he has inhaled asbestos from the gas mask filter and got lung cancer, and the cancer spread to his brain, where the tumours have led to severe hallucinations.
I believe Pyro was experimented on by The Medic into being an abomination which worsened his/her insanity.
Pyro's girlish attitude is because of the Pyro vision goggles, imagine it like constantly bieng high, happy, and friendly towards anyone or no one.
It’s not because of the pyro vision goggles. They are just insane.
