As Double Date rides high at the top of the Global Top 50, we’re seeing other channels follow the Australian hub’s lead. Couple content is in, short-form challenges even more so, and if you can work both of those trends into a single video, that’s even better.

Beyond the top spot, Asian creators are dominating the Global Top 50. Channels from China, South Korea, and Vietnam are rising higher than ever before, and the average short-form creator can learn a thing or two from those hubs’ continued success.
Not all superheroes run to the rescue. Some of them hop.
Viewers who spend a lot of time on YouTube Shorts may have noticed that superheroes are one of the format’s tried-and-true topics. The weird Spiderman/Elsa videos of yesteryear have been replaced by strange AI slop that doesn’t feel much more wholesome. Just because Spiderman can be put into all sorts of odd videos doesn’t mean he should be.
If you’d prefer to watch superhero-tinted YouTube content without all the bizarre AI tech, the 50th and final channel in this week’s Global Top 50 offers an interesting alternative. Its Mandarin title translates to “Officer Rabbit,” and that’s also an accurate description of the character who shows up in the channel’s most-watched Shorts clips.
Officer Rabbit isn’t exactly Judy Hopps, but she does have speed to burn. Apparently, the law enforcer is capable of moving so quickly that she can beat a bucket of water to the ground floor of the building. If wearing bunny ears can allow me to defy gravity, I’m willing to give it a shot.
Officer Rabbit’s 518.9 million weekly views pushed the channel’s lifetime viewership close to nine billion, and its subscriber base is growing as well — it now reaches more than ten million fans. Its success is a reminder that popular YouTube Shorts characters don’t require fancy costumes or advanced technology. If you have a pair of bunny ears, a creative approach to Shorts, and an understanding of how popular moralistic content is on YouTube, then you have everything you need.
That’s not to say that YouTube is devoid of more typical heroic content. Like Officer Rabbit, Vietnam-based creator Ben Eagle chooses to use his powers for good. With his martial arts prowess, he assists the downtrodden and beats up anyone who stands on rocky moral footing. Eagle has been a regular in our Tubefilter charts throughout much of 2025, and his viewership has surged in recent months, pushing him up to 20th place in the Global Top 50.

So, to recap: If you want to become the greatest hero YouTube has ever seen, the best thing you can do is take notes on Asia’s biggest short-form superstars. Always remember to use your powers to help others; if you do that, you’ll find yourself strong enough to win a race against gravity. If you really must cross over to the dark side, well, some neat editing tricks should get the job done just fine.
