Omori is a villain similar to an ai. He was made to help rid Sunny of the trauma, and he did it fairly well by sealing the boy away in a dream world. He doesn't understand "I'm ready to face the truth" because he wasn't made to. And now? He isn't needed, but still continues with his purpose.

I’ve played many games that had the trope of “fighting your inner demons” but none of them come close to how fantastic this fight is. The violin playing a somber tone while distortion fills the white space (hehe pun), to how the inner demon is actually the character you’ve played as for most of the game and not just a random entity labeled as your inner demons. But my favorite part about the fight is you can’t win. No matter how hard you try with all the skills the game provides you that allow you to cling to life while still damaging Omori, he will not succumb to his injuries because he’s not something that can be beaten. He’s a manifestation of Sunny’s guilt, a mental image if you will and mental scars always leave a more impactful wound than a physical one but that’s the thing, Omori isn’t a physical being so attacking it seems pointless. The only way to beat Omori is to accept and move on and that’s what makes this fight the most meaningful in the entire game (and also since it’s like the final boss)

...Just gonna speak my experience from this fight.

On my first playthrough, I was already quite shattered from several events we'd just come across. The endgame of the Sunny Route breaks me just about everywhere possible, from overcoming Something to learning the truth to confronting Basil to Memory Lane. All of those events had just tugged at my feelings, I'd felt so afraid yet so determined to break Sunny out of his cycle... and then this fight, right after the Backstage.
The first few notes of the violin not only hit as a representation, but also *actually* cause me to gradually, so quickly break down as I'm starting to fight Omori as the very thing that we'd been using as a vehicle in Headspace, and learning that Omori was a manifestation of Sunny's negative thoughts. I could swear I fought half this battle with tears of pain, sadness, anger and determination all at once. I wanted to break Sunny out of the cycle so much, and I immersed myself so much into the world and the fight where I could almost mistake that I _became_ Sunny for those moments.

This is how you know you've greated a phenomenal game. This game is _easily_ Game of the Year 2021 to me. If it isn't, I'm gonna cry, and not out of sympathy this time.

This fight... It hit hard. Harder than the pavement in front of the hospital Basil went to and a Chicken Ball Kel nuke combined.

From the sheer self-hate, to Omori telling Sunny that it is simply better to just die... And, sometimes it does feel like that. It feels like dying is a good alternative to going through things, especially when its something like what Sunny has and will go through. Who knows, maybe Sunny will regret not taking Omori up on his offer sometime in the future.

But, ultimately not giving up is the objectively good outcome. His friends will be happier this way, even if they won't forgive him. He will have a chance to have a future, which is what keeps him going through the fight. And that is what Mari would have wanted.

He wants to live. He knows his friends want him to live, Basil wants him to live, that even Mari would want him to live.

There is only one person who does not want Sunny to live.

[Omori is taken as an alternate persona past this point, one dedicated to protecting Sunny after he started hating himself after the accident]

Omori believes Sunny shouldn't go through the guilt of having killed Mari. He believes that, the pain would be worse than death and ending Sunny is a mercy kill. He is trying to spare Sunny the guilt, listing the facts he will have to face. Omori does not want Sunny to suffer, and is willing to go to extremes to do it, whether it be taking over Headspace in its entirety or making Sunny kill himself.

Only when he sees Sunny get up again AFTER he says the line "You loved her and you killed her" does he stall.

Only when Sunny shows him all the good memories he recalls with bittersweetness does he stop.

Once he sees that the bad things haven't undone the good, and that Sunny can make peace with himself[ironic, amrite?], he has no reason to fight.

Sunny is the one to collapse for the hug, no matter the route, or outcome. Sunny will always falter at the though of what comes next.

In the Oyasumi route, Sunny thinks he cannot take it and lets Omori handle things.

In the Good Morning route, Omori sees that Sunny will move on. And after giving Sunny the comfort he rightfully deserves, he is more than happy to vanish, his *purpose* complete.

At least, that's how I see it.

As a wise game once said...
*Despite everything, it's still you.*

[mistahjenkins]

This is what it feels like when you want to move on... To become better, to finally overcome the problems that you've been suffering from all those years... But there's still a part of you holding back, wanting to regress, to recede from the world...
... This... Is true anguish.

Always remember: if you're gonna raise kids, get a one story house

[Amadeus_Mee]

Why i cried on this fight
1. All the previous truth and memory lanes are bottled up right at this moment where i can no longer hold it inside me

2. The violin is what makes me think that he's trying to move on, but not sure if the friend group will ever forgive him. Makes him think that it's better to just die ; resulting in omori's first existence in the first place

3. "you killed her, you killed mari"
"Kel loved her and you killed her"
"Hero loved her and you killed her"
"Aubrey loved her and you killed her"
"Basil loved her and you killed her"
"You loved her and you killed her"
"It would be better to just die."

These are quite the few things that makes me cried on this battle
Call me a coward, but it is what it is

[limepact]

It’s only violin, SUNNY is fighting for the truth.

[DShadow-]

Nearly an hour with grief, sadness, and guilt is the best thing that could make my heart falter

[underlife]

I spoiled the story for myself cuz I didnt think I was gonna play it. So all the emotional stuff from this fight was gone. Instead of crying like most of the people here, I was terrified. I knew I couldn't win this fight. I knew behind every attack once his HP dropped to zero, he would come back stronger and more terrific. I only get tense from this theme but because of it I wanted to give up before it was too far. I was scared of OMORI the most right here.

Spoilers







I can see OMORI wielding the knife as a symbolism of how Sunny believes he backstabbed his friends because Omori is Sunny's guilt manifested

"remember son, dying is gay"

*OMORI will not succumb.*

[YuuyaKZMI]

OMORI was never a villain, nor a hero, in my eyes.
He was just doing his job, as he was made to do, until the very end. There was no malice or heroism. Only the mission.

[Funkyskep]

[Omori is patiently waiting for you to make your move!]

[soap]

Just finished the game for the first time, everything about this fight was PERFECT, omori saluting you with his knife (similar to how you would in fencing before a duel) was so cool, then it made me feel so many emotions. This song is truly amazing

[KittyKatty]

Needs to be longer. My inner demons think one hour is way too little suffering time.

[yume]

I love this ost, it's so beautiful and emotional

[Noodelousart]

the visuals in this fight were so impactful, and matched with this longing soundtrack... the amount of sorrow, the music perfectly expresses the feeling of wanting so badly to let go, and simultaneously, the relief of finally being able to face your inner fears... but more specific to the game, I feel like there's a certain quality of sadness from having to say goodbye. In a way, Omori was there to protect Sunny from his trauma, and now that he's ready to move on, theres a sorrowful element to the fact that he is now bidding farewell to his long-time protector and what is truly just another part of... himself... a part he's finally able to accept...

Welcome to White Space. You and Omori have been waiting here for as long as you can remember.
