 **The Gothickingcobra52 saga** marks Josh's first foray into content creation, and features his early content such as his first three albums, his "Guitar insites" and the Punishment Haircut. The saga officially starts on June 13th, 2010 and ends July 19th, 2011, followed by [[sagas:The Job Corps Saga]].
 ===== Characters Overview =====
-  *[[characters:KingCobraJFS|A young Josh Saunders]]: This is the very beginning of the madness. Joshua Fay Saunders, a short-haired, rebellious teenager with a troubled upbringing and a whole load of angst. He would take up smoking soon, and alcohol later on. His hair would remain short for the majority of the time in this saga due to constant "Punishment haircuts" by his father, [[characters:Clint Saunders]].

 ==== F**k the mainstream ====
-Josh's first big break in youtube came in the form of his semi-viral video, "F**K the mainstream". The video would entail a long-winded rant about the mainstream making everything "trendy", lamenting that even becoming anti-authority would eventually become trendy. Josh would go on to say that he's a "real goth" unlike the numerous "mall goths" that are only using the aesthetic "to piss off their parents and say 'fuck society' [...] and have no core goth beliefs". More importantly, Josh would debut the [[Gothic Clocktower Dream House]] by means of a pencil-and-paper sketch. This would be the first introduction of [[Cobra's Magic]] to a larger crowd, and many would attribute this video as the start of their interest in the Boglim to-be.

 ===== The Job Corps Call Back =====
-Josh received word from the Job Corps that he would be shipping out on the 17th, which caused Taco Bell to "Fire him on the spot". Josh would spend the remainder of this saga unemployed and working on his fourth album, [[Album:The Darkness]]. On July 19th, 2011, Josh would ship out to Job Corps, unblocking all the trolls from his channel, and debuting his very first Drink Combo - Arizona Iced tea, Triple Sec, Puerto Rico Tequila, Armanto Liquer, and Monster Import Dub. He would also get another Facebook girlfriend by the name of Alyssa, who would send him a picture of her cleavage later on. He would eventually break up with her before the Job Corps Saga for cheating on him. His final video before leaving was a display of his Bog Magic - a video titled {{https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F68Jql9Af0|"Chi ball"}} released July 19th, 2011. Josh would spend this video attempting to demonstrate a [[sagas:cobra_s_magic|Chi ball]] to the camera, although no magic orb can be seen. The very same day, the channel content of Gothickingcobra52 would be deleted, and Clint would announce on Facebook that Josh had been sent to Job Corps, ending the Gothickingcobra52 saga and beginning the Job Corps Saga.

 ===== Significance =====
 Much like the early days of Black Sabbath, Joshua's early foray into Youtube would be rife with controversy and struggle. It is in this crucible of strife that the boglim phoenix would rise from the ashes like a half-dead cobra from a crushed egg, howling at inanimate objects and drinking until he passed out, hair follicles be damned.
+===== Trivia =====
+  * Approximately 96 videos from the Gothickingcobra52 era have survived.
+  * This would be one of the only arcs when Josh used a strap for his guitar, where he would wear it incorrectly. Despite commenters attempting to correct him, Josh would refuse to change.
+  * Josh would replace his phone **1 time** during this saga.
