Criminal Wars
Span: October–November 2024 (seeded 2023, aftermath 2025) · Episodes: [386], [224], [210], [232], [201]
A police-vs-criminal story that runs as four episodes in five weeks, and the channel's first attempt at an actual war with a named antagonist.
Background
The police/criminal split is a permanent setting (police or cops appear in 271 of 453 videos; jail in 160). It was first staged as a family-vs-family premise in [386] COP FAMILY Vs CRIMINAL FAMILY (Nov 2023). The 2024 war escalates that from a family feud to a city-wide takeover.

Herb, the Trickster
Herb is the rare UrBroTodd villain with a plan. In [232] Todd recognises him by name ("that's right, I remember your name") and identifies him as the one who started the whole thing. In [201] the police are revealed as not having quit — the chief and Poke are being held by the Trickster, who is broadcasting that "the police are no more" and the city is free to do as it pleases. The resolution requires a prison break into Brook Gate.
Aftermath
- [170] I Started My Own CRIMINAL FAMILY (Feb 2025) continues the criminal-side worldbuilding, with Todd as a crime patriarch rather than a cop.
- The police/criminal conflict returns as a civilization in 2026 ([008] POLICE Vs CRIMINAL Civilization), where the premise is abstracted into team-vs-team PvP.
Trivia
- The war is the only arc whose episodes are numbered consecutively in upload order ([232] → [201] are two days apart), which is why it feels like a two-parter rather than an accidental continuity.
- "The Trickster" works as a slot as much as a person: a masked troublemaker who can start any city-wide crisis the plot needs.
