I am not worthy! Oh Dr. Fizz! Your Bubbliness! Oh Dr. Fizz! Bless your soul!

—"Tragedy At 60 Feet"

Yin-Yang, labeled The Quarrel, are male recommended characters, created and voiced by Marco Bonomo (BFDIdubita23), they were a contestant in Inanimate Insanity II, being put on The Bright Lights. They competed on Inanimate Insanity Invitational, formerly as a member of The Thinkers, and became an independent contestant after the merge. They placed 6th on Inanimate Insanity Invitational, being eliminated in "Blue Buried" after Blueberry tricked them into using the Immunity Milk on Cabby instead of themselves, blindsiding them in a 4-2 vote.

Personality[]

Yin-Yang is an amalgamation of two characters: Yin and Yang. The two halves have vastly different personalities that contradict each other. They share one body and are in constant disputes, even over simple tasks, such as what direction to walk or what to drink.

Yin, the white half, is good-hearted, kind, honorable, and rational, whose intent is to balance out Yang, the black half, who is massively chaotic, malicious, loud and impulsive. While Yin is happy to participate in challenges and actively tries to help out, Yang despises participation and typically enjoys the misfortune of other characters, and will lash out and attempt to harm others, including Yin.

This difference in character makes Yin-Yang participation and handiness quite limited, sparking many enemies with others. Because they are attached, Yang does not get away with bad doings, for Yin can easily stop him.

When separated by Test Tube's experiment, Experiment 626, the balance between Yin and Yang got broken, causing Yang to become too chaotic, shambolic, destructive, and vicious on his own by breaking things and attacking characters. Though Yin was initially happy with the separation, he realized that his compassion was useless in this state and concluded that fusing back together into Yin-Yang is the only way to stop Yang's violence and balance him out.

In Inanimate Comics, Yin and Yang are shown to be able to get along with each other better than in Season 2, thanks to Cherries providing lessons, as well as finding a common interest in bug catching (Yin likes to be at one with nature, while Yang likes to be in control of it.)

In Inanimate Insanity Invitational, Yang has become less chaotic, although he still retains his disagreeable traits. It also appears Yin is more annoyed by Yang and doesn't really try to fight him that much anymore. Yin-Yang has calmed down since Inanimate Insanity 2 but they still disagree a lot. As of Out of Body Experience, after switching bodies with each other prior to the bridge incident, Yang promised to treat Yin better after realizing how he struggles. Later in the episode, despite losing the challenge, they realized that they reached a personal goal, which they agree counts the most. In Pesty Besties, Yin even says he's glad Yang is with him to balance his unassertive-ness out.

Appearance[]

Yin-Yang appears as a spherical form of the yin-yang symbol, split white and black by a wavy division, nearly in the Old Yin position. They have two arms and two legs, which both halves can control at their own will. Yin, the white half, is on the lower left-hand side, and Yang, the black half, is on the upper right-hand side. Sometimes, Yin is on the right-hand side, and Yang is on the left-hand side. Yin-Yang’s mouth is on Yin's side, with one eye shown black, whereas the other on Yang's side is shown white. As seen in "Try Not To Laugh Challenge," when Yang takes full control of the body, Yin's eye becomes white with a black outline. As for Yin taking full control of the body, Yang's eye becomes black with a white outline.

When separate, as shown in "Tri Your Best," Yin is a white sphere and Yang is a black sphere (Though Yin is the dark side and Yang is the light side).

In Inanimate Comics, Yin-Yang body rotates about 90 degrees clockwise from his design in the show almost in the Ying - Yang position.

In the last episode of invitational, Yang got sharp teeth.

Yin-Yang holds unique abilities, like:

Official Site Bio

Yin-Yang has two personalities! The white half, Yin, is a very reasonable individual who thinks things through before he takes actions, and doesn't want to argue or fight with anyone, The black half, Yang, likes to cause trouble and havoc no matter what the consequences are. Because they are connected, they argue with themselves.

—Inanimate Insanity Site, 2013

Yin and Yang are two halves of a whole that are opposites, combined into one body. The result, as one can imagine, is quite chaotic. While Yin is kind and tolerant, Yang is passionate and brutal, but the situation may not be as black and white as it appears. Yin and Yang are combined to naturally balance each other, forming Yin-Yang. When together, the two are constantly arguing about everything from game strategy to their hydration. When apart, more than merely "arguing" will ensue… so separating the two is highly regarded as a bad idea.

Trivia[]

  • "Yin" is the black half, while "Yang" is the white half in real life.
