I am The Ultimate Reporter. Evila!
~ Evila, Space Channel 5.

Evila, known by the title "The Ultimate Reporter", is a boss and minor antagonist in Space Channel 5. She is a reporter robot modeled after Ulala, and was made by the Morolians when they were under Chief Blank's control with the purpose to raise Channel 5's viewership.

Evila was later upgraded and copied into various security bots for Channel 5 studios and headquarters.

Character Info[]

Although she shares a similar appearance to Ulala, Evila is a replica of her created by Blank to be seen as The Ultimate Reporter. Her body is a light grey, and her eyes are both a robotic black with white pupils. She has a purple headset and light blue hair tied in pigtails similar to Ulala. At the ends of these pigtails are two rings and an antenna-like orb, all of which is purple to match her headset. Her attire is similar to Ulala’s classic outfit, only that the colors are replaced with electric blue and black coloring, with purple insides. Her skirt also goes out farther to the sides and the hem is higher than Ulala's. The latter is likely for more physical appeal, given Blank's thirst for better ratings.

Personality[]

It's noted that by 2499, robots can be created with emotions, as shown by 88MAN and the Morolian's boss robots. However, Evila's primary character is her lack thereof: her lack of personality. It is presumed that she has no emotions by Fuse and Ulala stating she is a puppet with no soul, so she carries out her job as programmed, garnering views by playing off of known viewbait. It is unknown whether or not this changes in Part 2.

The description for Evila's action figure states that Evila is clever, dangerous, sleek and sassy.[1]

History[]

Background[]

Evila was created utilizing Morolian technology and data of Ulala collected by Blank.[2] She is a near identical copy of Ulala from her height, weight, and abilities. However, unlike Ulala, Evila only reports for a single purpose: to increase Channel 5's ratings, Blank's ideal reporter.

Evila's entrance.

Report 4: Evil in the Galaxy Revealed!
Evila appears as a boss in the fourth report, when Ulala Jaguar, and Pudding follow Chief Blank to the Channel 5's main antenna. Accompanied by a group of Channel 5 Policebots, Evila presents herself by saying "I am the Ultimate Reporter. Evila!" and challenges Ulala for a dance battle. As the battle goes, Evila starts to self destruct until she turns off.

Evila's first battle segment.

In the first part of her boss battle, Evila slowly builds a pattern as the battle goes on, saying more directions each time Ulala copies her. If the player succeeds at copying her, Evila will continue her pattern saying directions much faster. If the player fails at copying her moves, Evila will slow down.

Evila self destructing.

Once the first battle segment ends, Evila and her back-ups will start hitting themselves in the head and self destruct. If the player failed at copying Evila's commands too many times before the segment ends, Blank will taunt the heroes by saying "No one can out dance Evila!". If the player succeeds at copying her, Blank will say "What is going on? You're supposed to be the Ultimate Reporter!" to Evila.

Evila's second battle segment.

Afterwards, a second battle segment will start, the music will slow down and Evila commands will have long intervals between the directions she says. The player will need to have good sense of timing in order to copy Evila's commands.

Evila's final battle segment.

Once the second segment is over, Evila will once again hit herself in the head and self destructs. Fuse will say "Yeah baby, you doing good, keep going!" and Ulala will say "I can beat her! I feel it!". In this battle segment, the music swings back full force. Evila's patterns are much fasters and sometimes, even a bit long, as she may say up to eight directions in a single pattern. In this battle segment, Evila won't slow down if the player fails at copying her moves.

Evila turning off.

Eventually, Evila will start saying less and less moves as the battle goes on (though, her patterns will continue being very fast) until she eventually turns off, along with her back-ups. Ulala will taunt Evila, saying "I didn't think a puppet could report!" and will celebrate along with Jaguar, Pudding and the other rescued hostages, before they are all surprised by Fuse screaming for help. The ceilings open and it is revealed that Chief Blank, piloting a mecha called Giant Evila captured the Astrobeat with Fuse inside of it. This leaded Ulala, Jaguar, and Pudding to leave Evila deactivated at the main antenna.

Evila isn't seen again until the end of the game, where she can be seen marching to the end of the Galaxy with the other characters.

Trivia[]

  • "Evila" is a mix between the words "Evil" and "Ulala".
  • Evila is the smallest boss in Space Channel 5.
  • Evila is one of the two robotic reporters in the series, the other is 88MAN.
  • Evila's in-game profile refers to her as "it," however, Ulala calls Evila a "her" "I can beat her, I feel it!"
  • Even if the player fails at copying Evila's moves, Evila will still hit herself in the head and self destructs as the battle goes on.[4] Similarly, Ulala, Pudding, Jaguar, and the other characters assisting Ulala in the fight will also celebrate, despite the fact they are failing at copying Evila's moves.
    • However, Blank's quotes will be different. Instead of saying "What is going on? You're supposed to be the ultimate reporter!", he will say "No one can out dance Evila!". [4]
  • Evila has multiple animations for each direction (Up/Right/Left/Down/Chu) and they are always chosen by random during her boss battle. Evila is currently the only character with this trait.
  • When the heroes are seen marching to the end of the Galaxy at the end of the first game, Evila marches alongside Ulala, Jaguar, Pudding and other minor characters instead of marching alongside the other bosses. The obvious reason for that, is because Evila is much smaller than the other bosses.
  • In the English beta (v.0900) of the Dreamcast release, Evila has slightly different voice clips for some commands
  • Evila's theme includes parts of “Mexican Flyer” played backwards.
  • In the Dreamcast version of the game, Evila says "I am the ultimate reporter, Evila!" in a very robotic voice, but in the PlayStation 2 version, she says that with a regular woman's voice (though Evila will have her robotic voice during the battle once again).
  • Curiously, in the Japanese version of the game, Evila sounds like a Morolian while saying the dance commands.
  • Evila boss theme is one of the many themes to play in the Ulala Dance Mode minigame from Space Channel 5: Part 2 and the Trial Dance minigame from Space Channel 5 VR.
  • In Ulala's Cosmic Attack, only Ulala and Evila dance during the battle. Jaguar, Pudding and the Channel 5 Policebots remain in their idle animation throughout the entire battle.
