Archivist: I can phase through bullets Kalvin: Oh yeah? *harpoon* Archivist: Oh no! A harpoon, my only weakness!

The assassination of the 05 Council is pretty funny, because aside from the first one the council members were basically all killed by pure luck.

O5-6 legit puts Dr. Bright and Florida Man to shame. He's riding SCP-682 for crying out loud.

they straight up missed the opportunity to get rid of Shy guy, the unkillable lizard, and that damn neck snapping statue using this anomaly -_-

Calvin: *presses the TERMINATE button* The Administrator: "No, this isn't how you're supposed to play the game."

Timestamps: 0:01 The Children 14:07 The Broken God 27:47 Atonement 43:37 Way it Ends 1:37:46 Ouroboros Cycle Explained Sub Timestamps (Way it Ends) 43:37 Killing O5-13 to O5-9 1:01:11 Killing O5-8 to O5-5 1:19:10 Killing O5-4 to O5-1 I hope this timestamps will help.

We just gonna ignore the fact that 05-1 dodged an attack from the gate guardian, which moves faster than the eye can see, and then somehow killed it with a reality anchor? Makes no sense.

Calvin: “Time to destroy the Foundation!” Administrator: “How ‘bout ‘no’?” Calvin: “You make a compelling argument...”

A small detail anyone else noticed was that the cyborg guarding 05-1 didn’t treat Calvin as hostile was cuz it knew it was the new 05-1?

4 minutes in, I’m calling it now, the kingdom of Abbadon is the SCP foundation from the future/past/another dimension

I love how they shoot (probably) metal bullets at a huge metal mass that grows by consuming metal and mass 👌

Personally, I prefer the misspelling "oroboro cycle" because without the extra letters, it's the same backwards and forwards, making the word itself somewhat of a cycle

"What started as cogs in a box, has turned into a giant mechanical death machine." *heart dings*

I like to imagine The American telling 682 "Come on. Let's go killing." and 682 being all excited

Me: Breaks the circle The entire multiverse: You weren't supposed to di that

it’s ironic that many of the 0-5 council have anomalous effects

We need an Ouroboros Cycle Anime, It'd make one hell of a 12 Episode series

Nothing like 2 hours of SCP information to make your day. Or wait...are we under the influence of an SCP to enjoy this!?

I'm sorry but "the way it ends" seems like it's written by a 15 year old who's just had a literature class and decided to write a fanfic with as many self inserts and in-universe contradictory things as possible under the guise of "but it is cool tho"

not gonna lie, hearing just a funny 'smack' as a rod smacks the black bird just made me die laughing

I dont understand the bit with 05-11. He tricks her into revealing she has the journal on a chip in her arm, ostensibly has it removed from her, and then just kills himself? With the ability to create false realities at will, even in layers, getting away from or closer to anybody should be a snap for him. Seems a significant plot hole

I felt sorry for Dr Desmant. He didn’t start off intending to be that way. It happened by accident.

It's only now over a dozen videos already watched, that it's occurred to me to wonder about the sounds the characters make under the narration. The mental image of someone recording little emotional nonsense noises is adorable.

I have zero idea what Calvin's original plan was if being told 'you need to replace them or the organization you planned to destroy from the start won't be able to protect people anymore' was enough for him to do a 180...

2 HOURS OF THIS MAN, I'M TRULY IN HEAVEN, THIS IS 3 BITHDAYS IN 1!!!

Kinda disappointed that the stories didn’t actually loop back together plot wise

The Calvin story is so very long and it is all one Deux Ex Machina after the other. And (no spoilers) , but the ending is like "You....you didn't think of that at all beforehand ?"

Calvin: *about to press the button* Admin: "How 'bout no?" Calvin: "Understandable, have a great day"

WAR NEVER CHANGES

"This is a big story, and I recommend watching the individual parts first, and yes we are telling you this after you have watched this video"

Wait Calvin didn't stop and think that without the scp foundation there would be chaos? I thought he was going to have a plan to deal with the scps, but no, he was just stupid.

the whole story with Calvin feels like a fever dream

ALMOST WHOLE HOURS OF THIS VOICE, IM IN HEAVEN

ok this should be classified as a movie

Calvin: Finally, I wiped out all of the Overseers! Administrator: You're O5-1 now, since you killed O5-1. Calvin: Oh shi-

If you enjoyed watching this video, I heavily encourage you to read it because there is *SO MUCH* detail left out in these videos and reading it is actually much better if you want to know more info.

2 hour scp video? YES! just what i needed to get through the rest of my workday lol

For the Desmond anomaly I feel like the foundation wouldn’t even consider destroying other multiverses/Dimensions but continue to contain & enslave like their better half SCP 4730.

Finally finished this. I'd hoped all the stories would tie together somehow, but they just share a theme, a defeatist message about the nature of the SCP Foundation. Disappointing 😓

Wish you'd do more like this and SCP-5000 "Why?", I immensely enjoyed both and the writing is superb. I'm hoping the SCPs connected to Eric would get the same treatment some time soon!

2 hours SCP? Is this Christmas and Birthday in one?!

Glad to see this works! Thanks for the consistent and amazing content, it's what I fall asleep to every night.

So basically plot armor carried him through the whole thing

Is no one gonna talk about how Calvin literally squeezed the life out of an INFANT? I think the most disgusting part is this. Like what the fuck he just crushes a fetus and no one cares?

Man these 001 are a monster of a manipulation.

Hope everyone is having a good day! If not I send you hugs

The amount of work that went in to this is amazing, thanks for the grand tale and animation.

The irony of “The Spear of the Non-Believer” being used twice as a deus-ex-machina is enough to give Alanis Morissette a migraine.

1:14:25 Wasn't expecting the casual rep with Adam

2 hours of scp, i needed this

I love the fact that Green is essentially a kick-a** military grandma

Can I just say that this has been the best explanation of the Ouroboros Cycle that I've seen on UKposts. The way it's formatted makes it much easier to follow along and the graphics help me image the scenarios. Thanks SCP Explained team!

Long stories like this and scp 5000 are amoung my favorite from the foundation. Truly beautiful.

This is amazing. This is such a wild ride that having it all in one video is a great way to binge it. Thanks!

Loving how casually 4 of the overseers just died like that

The American didn’t need to ride 682 to join the fight. He literally just did that to flex on everyone. And I can respect that.

Oh wow, the ending that connected all of the stories together was certainly an eye opener on how all this is connected Though there is still a lot I don't understand about it, and still more theories that I have swirling around in my head that I can't quite type out right... I was never much a fan of SCP stuff before, but after finding this channel maybe 4-6 months ago I have been enjoying it more than I ever thought I might, so thank you!

But how is there an administrator if he got disintegrated by The Children, to recruit Calvin at the end of the How It Ends story? Are they the same universe and time line? And if 05-01 ran off after abusing the power of The Children, then how and when did Aaron become 05-1? Did the previous 05-1 who created The Children become the new Administrator who recruited Aaron and subsequently Calvin? I think The Administrator needs his own deep dive video

I just love that Adam's perfect reality is one where he is married to the squad lider Kalvin, because in 99% of movies when there is a squad like this one they all go for the woman, and here they just said "fuck it, she has her own perfect life, this two, gay as hell" and I think that beautiful

These are so well done thank you for all the content keep up the good work

This is the content you was waiting for

Thank you so much for making this video!

Idk quite how to feel after sitting here pretty hungover and watching the whole thing, but hey it was pretty good much like your other videos, thanks for doing what ya'll do, all the best ;]

I love how 05-6 just casually rides 682 just a typical day at the scp foundation

I think the entity that was Calvin Desmond knew that SCP-2317 would escape, so it was trying to destroy its reality as well as other deadly anomalies's realities while it's at it.

I love the details in the stories man these people are creative!!! Keep making more please lol

Damn, an SCP channel working on large projects like this, keep it up! Would love to see more big projects like this and scp-5000

Do I understand this? No. Am I still going to listen to all 2 hours? Yes!

1:14:48 This man just wanted to have his parents, siblings and a boyfriend and Calvin chooses not to.

I love these compilation videos! The voice helps too 👌

you made a whole fricken movie !! love it keep up the great work!

I think it wasn't mentioned: the power of the kingdom and the power of the kids looks exactly the same. 05-1, after disappearing created a new church/kingdom (he became more spiritual already), still somehow wielding that power (kids are still alive) thus closing the cycle.

Favourite channel for SCP material!

Got to love just how many different 001s their are lol

Love the way this was wrapped up great story telling.

I dont know where you guys come up with the stuff but thank you i do enjoy watching them.

This is so interesting idk why

1:11:28 Literally the scariest thing I've ever heard in my life

Atonement seemed like a setup for the Prisoner's Dilemma, but instead it was just a bunch of O5's agreeing to unleash an extremely powerful being because it might make their paperwork easier. Here's the problem: If there's a multiverse, and it's possible for something in one universe to delete *every* other universe en masse, then it stands to reason that there are multiple universes where such a being can exist. If even *one* of them takes the deal, then every other universe is eliminated. Then there are only three possibilities: 1. Such a scale of destruction is impossible. 2. Destruction is possible, but no universe has taken the deal. 3. "Our" universe is the first one to create such a capability. #3 seems like an extremely unlikely possibility; if "Our" universe experienced any delays in developing such a capability (which it did), then it stands to reason that there those delays didn't happen, and the capability was developed faster. #2 seems a little more likely, but still depends on every other universe acting rationally. SCP-5000 is a good illustration of how quickly that can turn on its head. Which means that the only realistic option is #1: the entity is lying. Therefore, don't release the damn thing.

I still struggle to understand how all of these are connected into one great cycle, does anyone know? What do they have to do with each other.

When Adam whispered "I love you" I almost cried God that part of the cycle is so heartfelt and carefully done.

If that weapon can vaporise anything then wouldnt they have the perfect weapon to end most if not all of the scp s ? And stop pretty much any K-class scenario instantly? Sure the hard to destroy reptilr might be immune even to this but i have a feeling that many scp s wouldnt be

Do "Alastair Grey/Introductory Antimemetics " next. There's a story about how that unresearched SCP has trapped and consumed many foundation scientists, and all of them have been keeping documentation on the creature from its insides until the creature can be contained or destroyed. Apparently it doesn't have an actual SCP file, it's just a story that was supposed to conclude in the documentation of the actual SCP entry, but apparently that never happened for some reason. It's one of the most underrated stories, and no one has talked or done anything with it, ever.

Don't forget that Calvin brought back Olivia as 5-02 in the most fucked up way possible, forcing her to carry on The Nazarene's curse.

Wow, that part about killing the O5 is so cool! Anybody else get huge stardust crusaders vibes?

I like this animation. But ot skips over a few crucial points in the story. Like how the heart of the broken god was manufactured using another SCP, and Anthony's drinking from the fountain of youth.

Someone should make this into a movie. This was so good

Imagine Ouroboros as a nine film series. In its make are segments being the first three films, the second three films, and the third three films, obeying the narrative formula of "a trilogy series" across "The Hero's Journey". The problem with Ouroboros however is its inherent agency of self-destruction, for much like its living animal counterpart, that when a snake swallows its own tail it digests itself while still alive. Now imagine that this snake was venomous and with magical properties, that upon an eventual and agonizing death its post-mortem spasms envenomate its body, a feat of necromancy whereby the head of the snake is the now lost third three films, continues to now consume the second three films of its own body length. We're now at a point where the first three films is Yin and Yang to the last three films, a smaller journey trapped like a donut encased by the ever-reviving bite of the last three films, peppered in gastric juices of a disembodied second three films. This is the analogy of SCP anomalies randomly appearing out-of-place within humble beginnings while simultaneously are as black horses to an even-present state of near-apocalypse, that the looping of a simple start towards a simple ending miraculously back again without further growth, is encased by an absolute chaos incarnate to which it seems hapless but to avoid it by some fluke of continuity? The real trouble, the real horror of the Ouroboros Cycle, is only ever really known when the head of the snake will finally consume the first three films of its body length, dissolving itself into an immortal head of eldritch twitching. Desperate to bite anything it can, for when the hand that reaches for its mysteries finally does, as do the greatest authors of our time, the envenomation of reality courses through their veins of the now newly transformed serpent, that then and only then do we glimpse the tenth film that only a literary God could see, depicting what can only be described as "the tragedy of the serpent".

People: 2 hour scp?!?! I'm in! People who have watch it before:

What I think the cycles are for each of these. The Children: The foundation creates new anomalies to contain anomalies, and eventually again will need to create new anomalies to contain anomalies. Forever creating and containing. The Broken God: The Broken god will always return, they will always have to fight it. Atonement: From containing then to killing then to containing, then to killing, then to containing again. There is no end, there is no easy way out, there is only containing or death. Way It Ends: There must always be a SCP foundation, those who kill the guards will always replace them.

Dude I can’t even be mad y’all did y’all THANG on this

This whole story is very similar and plays out like my long winded chaotic adventure dreams.🤦🏻‍♀️ I wake up so mentally exhausted and confused.🥴

Ah yes, killsquad… the subtlest code name

I clicked on this video not realizing it was an hour and 50 minutes long but I still watched it all anyways and I don’t regret it.

I could listen to this man talk for days!

The end of "killing the 05 council" is frustrating af

I want more on Calvin Lucien’s development into O5-1 and how he rebuilds the council! Does he recruit Adam to the council or does Adam go on to be the one to lead a team to kill him? Who does he recruit? How does he explain it all to the Foundation members who actually knew members of the O5 council?

This orobouros cycle story is very different from another orobouros cycle story I watched... Are there multiple? Man I love scp so much its so huge

The Ouroboros Cycle reminds me of the seying in the wheel of time books “The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose above the great mountainous island of Tremalking. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.”

im so exited to watch this
