Edwin Grigonis, also known by the pseudonym Geno Samuel, (born circa 1990s) is a Lithuanian-born YouTuber and musician. He is a Christuber and carpetbagger known for creating the series Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History, as well as exploiting Chris's imagery by selling items themed after him without his permission.

History

On 26 May 2018, Copitz mentioned Geno to Chris during conversation, and asked if he liked people making neutral documentaries about him. Chris replied that he wishes he was considered more famous than infamous.

On 16 June 2018, Chris expressed his hope that Geno and his fanbase will "recover swiftly" from Geno's termination on YouTube.

On 28 August 2019, Chris (as Magi-Chan) DM'd Geno, thanking him for giving him and Magi-Chan a better recollection of past events. He also told Geno to keep up the good work, and told him to feel free to ask Magi-Chan for any feedback or input for Geno's "Chronological History series".

On 14 September 2019, Chris discussed Geno after he was brought up by someone in a livestream hosted by people associated with Sonichu Mania. Chris says that he likes Geno's series, adding that he didn't offend him too much.

On 20 September 2019, Chris DM'd Geno and asked his input on creating a "Genochu" TSSSF custom card featuring him. Geno politely declined the request, and Chris in turn thanked him for responding and said the offer would remain open if he changed his mind.

On 21 October 2019, Chris DM'd Geno, telling him that he should read what happened to Simonchu, since Geno apparently liked one of Chris's "comments".

On 22 May 2020, Chris (as Sonichu) wrote a letter addressed to Kai, and mentioned that in order for Kai to become "a literal God," he would have to humble himself. He explained that Kai can learn to do so from Chris via "those videos on GenoSamuel's YouTube channel."

On 15 November 2020, Chris (as Sonichu) wrote a comment on YouTube to Geno for his Q&A video to celebrate 100,000 subscribers. On 13 December, the Q&A video would be published, and Geno answers Chris's question at the end.

On 31 March 2021, Chris DM'd Geno, upset over Geno's April Fools joke which entailed altering the title and thumbnails of Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History to replace Chris with Donald Trump.

In a 4 July 2022 letter, Chris mentioned a desire to collaborate with Geno, writing that he would contact Geno as soon as he was able; the latter reacted with "Fuck." in a Kiwi Farms post on learning of Chris's comment.

On 21 October 2023, Chris viewed and commented during a livestream on Geno's channel in which Geno played back old video of Chris.

In 2023, Geno began offering knockoff Sonichu medallions for sale. His medallions also included a Certificate of Authenticity, in an imitation of Chris commonly including a Certificate in his own for-sale medallions. Chris criticized Geno's medallion product in a 14 December 2023 post, writing, "Geno. Don’t even with the “Certificate”. 3D Printed never surpasses the full soul effort in hand-crafting. It’s not funny."

On 10 January 2024, Chris congratulated Geno on his wife's pregnancy.

On 3 February 2024, Geno began advertising more Chris-themed items for sale, including a shirt with a "WANT WOMAN!" slogan on it. Chris objected to it, asking, "Can you please stop the “Want Woman” shirt?" Geno appears unlikely to accede to Chris's request - in a r/ChrisChanSonichu thread about Chris's comment, Geno replied to another Reddit user that he was "watching the sales roll in" and defended offering the item for sale.

On a livestream on 29 March 2025, Chris got asked about Geno, prompting him to reply with "I have only talked a little bit—a little bit—with Geno Samuel. And just, um, the way he conduct- the way he conducts his videos, there's like a few things that can be criticized. Like, he could not be so focused on, uh, the times where I were- where I was taken advantage of. Especially with those theoretical relationships, or anything—and I mean anything—NSFW..."

Chris files a copyright claim over the Sonichu series Geno attempted to make.

Geno attempted to produce an animated series based on Chris's comic and using his artwork but without Chris's permission. Geno monetized the project through his Patreon. Titled Sonichu: The Animated Series (no relation to the prior series by Spazkid), Geno posted a trailer for it in April 2025, then on 20 April, he uploaded "Episode 1: Sonichu's Origins", acknowledging Chris with "Written & Drawn by CHRISTIAN WESTON CHANDLER" in the end credits. This was followed by a second episode. Chris then made a copyright removal request to YouTube over the videos using content from Sonichu 0, which was granted and resulted in the episodes being taken down and a copyright strike placed on Geno's channel. Geno has commented that Chris had a case due to him using Chris's artwork, and he confirmed the series would not be continuing, though episode 3 was finished, 4 nearly so, and voicework had been completed through 6.
