* Purple being the one to scheme Red's ultimate prank is fitting due to his DarkAndTroubledPast. This is because the prank lulls Green into a false sense of security, it takes a long time to build the plan over time (takes 3 mins and 5 seconds compared to the other pranks), having henchmen help you (Red threw animation potions on the four things you need to make a cake in ''Minecraft''[[note]] a cow for milk, a chicken for Eggs, a piece of farmland with wheat on it and a sand block with sugar cane[[/note]] and showing something GRAND to deceive the eye when the real trick is at the end, waiting.

* Yellow loans Red his staff for one of his prank attempts, and Blue was presumably the source of the potions for the final attempt. Why would they be willing to help after Red pranked them earlier? Because they tend to be the ones most sour when Green wins anything--just look at "The Building Contest" and "Build Battle". They were probably eager to see Red get one over on Green.



* Hilarious as it is to see Green nonchalantly dodge all of Red's attempts to prank him with a cake to the face, he probably developed those reflexes as a result of being the ButtMonkey of the Actual Shorts series.



* At no point in King Orange's plan is there an escape route for him specified. Whether out of apathy for his fate or an active desire to join his son, he was 100% going down with the ''Minecraft'' world if he'd succeeded.
** That said, we know for a fact the Game Icon grants you CompleteImmortality, so King Orange likely thought/knew he could just walk out back into the Outernet once it's all said and done. [[FromBadToWorse So to replace this Fridge Sadness with another one]], there's no sign of King Orange's wife/Gold's mother anywhere. At best this means there was a nasty divorce, but more likely--given that even if they were estranged, she'd have some kind of reaction to her son ''dying''--she died herself before the start of the flashback.

[[FromBadToWorse So to replace this Fridge Sadness with another one]], as mentioned above there's a portal between the Minecraft World and the Outernet; so even if he survived, he'd have nowhere to go.

* FridgeSadness: The Animator always refers to the Chosen One as a 'he' even after he had destroyed the computer), but in ''4'', he murmurs out in disbelief "[[ItIsDehumanizing It]] talks?" when referring to the Second Coming. Knowing that SC had been brought to life by ''accident'' while the Animator had personally named the Chosen One... Ouch. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything It probably stings the more you think about it.]] At least [[EarnYourHappyEnding they grow to respect each other, becoming pals.]]
** There is 3 other possible explanations that are less sad, back when ''Animator Vs Animation 2'' came out, maybe gender neutral pronouns for living creatures weren't as common and it was more common to use male pronouns by default. The second possibility is that when Alan drew the Chosen One, he imagined him as being male, since he never intended to make the Second Coming, he have no idea what is it's gender and thus settle with a gender neutral one to not make mistake. The last possibility is that stick figures were meant to have gender in ''Animator Vs Animation 2'', but it was retconned and now they are all genderless.
* In part ''4'', there appears to be an EsotericHappyEnding going on when you consider the Animator still has to explain that the Facebook shenanigans weren't his fault. On the surface, it seemed doomed to be a CassandraTruth, and it would be in our world. However, he's talking about what happened in ''3'' with a friend completely casually and the friend doesn't show any signs of disbelief. In ''2'', he also chatted with programmer021 asking for help to defeat a stick figure. Combine this with the side-ads about stick figure enslavement in ''3'' and it's entirely possible that stick figures coming to life is a semi-regular occurrence, which would make the Animator's alibi more believable. In addition, now that he and the Second Coming are friends, the latter could have just decided to show himself and own up to the deeds.
* In ''Animation vs. Minecraft'', after Red's betrayal, the Second Coming starts crafting armors and weapons. While he does this, he crafts full sets of diamond armor for his friends first, then the pickaxes and swords, and then after creating everything else, he is shown wearing a diamond armor set and holding a sword for himself (which he had crafted off-screen separately while the others had been preparing themselves.) He had probably been cautious of the diamonds running out while crafting, and put everyone else's safety before his own.

* In ''The Rediscovery'', everyone maintains the specific interests and skills in Minecraft that they had in ''vs. Minecraft''. Why does Red's schtick appear to be spawning mobs? Because that's what he was doing for most of ''vs. Minecraft'' while he was BrainwashedAndCrazy; It wasn't until the very end that the others fought him directly--until then they were fighting the hostile mobs he was spawning.

* In part ''4'', despite the time gap, it still seems risky that Alan is still drawing and animating stick figures. However, considering we later see him struggling with drawing pretty much anything else, let alone animating it, it's possible that he was taking that risk because stick figures are all he can reliably animate.
* You may have wondered why the ''[=AvA=]'' Shorts are still called ''Animator vs. Animation Shorts,'' when the battle between Alan and the stick figures are already seemingly over. ''The Flashback'' reveals that The Dark Lord is the BigBad who created the Virus, so the Animator is still fighting his own creation, but this time, said creation is full villain.

** Additionally, it seems that, for a stick figure for it to live, their creator needs to make it with the intentions of it being alive, and thus the Animator thought he'd be safe if he had no intentions of making life.
* You may have wondered why the ''[=AvA=]'' Shorts fifth and sixth installments are still called ''Animator vs. Animation Shorts,'' Animation'', when the battle between Alan and the stick figures are is already seemingly over. ''The Flashback'' reveals that The Except ''[=AvA=] V'' features the Dark Lord is as the BigBad who created the Virus, so while ''[=AvA=] VI'' has [[MonsterProgenitor victim]], meaning the Animator is still fighting his own creation, but this time, said creation creations, just with the roles being switched (additionally, the Animator had a playfight with the Stick Gang in ''VI'', and victim's right-hand is full villain.a stick figure with Animator-like powers).



* ''Build Battle'' turns the Second Coming's falling asleep in ''Building Contest'' into a RunningGag, with him falling asleep as the timer's running no matter what he does to keep himself conscious. Considering the events of ''Note Blocks'' and ''Note Block Battle'' imply that his friends aren't exactly considerate of letting him sleep through the night, is it any wonder he has trouble staying awake during the day?
** Why are they all awake at 3AM, anyway? It's because the stick figures can't open Minecraft during the day because Alan needs to use the computer, so they do it at night when he isn't using the computer. Second Coming helps Alan animate, so he needs to be there during the day. Keeping that in mind, it would make sense that Second Coming is the only stick figure that actually sleeps through the night.
* In ''Potions'', after experimenting with potions, Blue ends up passed out on the floor, with the implication that he's DrunkOnMilk. This may seem strange, until you remember that not every potion in existence is necessarily ''good''. It's very possible that he sampled every potion, including the ones that induce negative status effects, and felt the effect of every bad status effect at once as a result.
** ''Cave Spider Roller Coaster'' had the stick figures rendered unconscious by poison, and only when the debuff was removed did they recover. It is possible that Blue was relatively okay until he sampled a potion of poison or two.
** And he could have possibly completed one of [[AchievementsInIgnorance the more difficult challenges]] (have every potion effect active at once) completed in that process as well! And knowing just how much the stick figures break the Minecraft rules so much, he could also have completed [[ThatOneAchievement How Did We Get Here?]] with ease. No wonder Red went to check him out, the notification had alerted anyone that was active during that time.
* The Second Coming summoning lightning with his guitar in ''Note Block Battle'' seems like pure RuleOfCool at first. But when ''The Showdown'' reveals just how powerful he truly is, you realize that it was actually foreshadowing that the Second Coming wasn't just a BadassNormal. His clairvoyance in ''Skyblock'' could have been another hint.
* The pig in ''The Witch'' attacking the titular witch ala Sonic's Smash Ultimate attack briefly actually makes a bit more sense if you managed to spot the [[FreezeFrameBonus Gotta go fast]] potion buff!
* In ''Command Blocks'', when the various Command Blocks set up start to glitch and send the game (and the computer) out of control due to being struck by stray lightning bolts, the reason why Yellow and Red aren't able to simply just destroy the blocks with their pickaxes is because, in ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'', Command Blocks have the same durability and resistances as ''bedrock'' in Survival mode, and they can only be removed with other commands or Creative mode.
* Alan's ShrugOfGod when it comes to Purple, saying he just started existing at one point, seems weird and unrealistic (well, for the series' standards)... until you realize that's exactly what happened with the Second Coming. The Animator didn't name him, and he was just one of the few keyframes on a animation he was making, and it's implied he wasn't his first creation since 2011. The Second Coming also just came into existence for no reason. For all we know, something similar happened with Purple.
* His other ShrugOfGod regarding the Dark Lord's fate ("still deciding lol") makes sense when you realize we've never seen a stick figure die permanently in the series since victim (and even he got better); and the Alan-drawn stick figures, of which the Dark Lord is one of them, have even actively resisted things that would otherwise be lethal. (The Chosen One surviving [=ViraBot=]'s onslaught, and the Second Coming surviving several slashes from the Dark Lord where only one was enough to kill a Fighting Stick Figure, even before his EleventhHourSuperpower kicks in.) Killing an Alan-drawn stick figure would probably require a ''huge'' amount of power, and as such would have some frightening implications about the Second Coming's latent powers.
* The Second Coming and Red, using three beacons, managed to teleport from the Nether, which seems to be shared by all computers (or stick figures are just ''that'' powerful), into a whole new ''Minecraft'' world. This also gives another reason for why King had those in the first place: From Command Blocks to the Master Block, he's out for powerful items.
* In ''vs. Minecraft'', two apples apiece is enough to keep the stick gang full enough to regenerate seven and a half hearts without losing any hunger points, despite apples having a very low saturation value. Being sticks, they're much thinner than Steve and Alex, and so don't need as much food to sustain them. Conversely, once that saturation does run out, their hunger bar drains much faster, going from full to less than half in less than a minute of running and being smacked around (see also ''Lush Caves'' where there's a blink-and-you-miss-it moment of Second Coming losing a hunger point just standing there; this doesn't happen in Minecraft proper). Being so much thinner means they have far less reserve energy to go through once they start starving.
** It should also be noted that the stick figures have plenty of endurance when it comes to taking damage, even without armor and also can't take fall damage unless they fall from an enormous height. This may have to do with them being used to fighting outside of Minecraft.
* In the ''Titan Ravager'' episode, upon re-watch, there was one small detail that was previously missed - the villages were situated in a very expansive plains biome. That particular world might have been made with the Large Biomes setting.
* In the Warden episode, you may wonder why King's staff was still able to be powered up with just a block of gold. Keep in mind gold does actually possess magical properties within Minecraft such as ''golden'' apples and [[AwesomeYetImpractical their enchanted counterparts]]. So naturally a block like that could have more then enough power to contest with the Warden even if it's not nearly on the same level as a Command Block or one of the Master Blocks.
* In the Dolphin Kingdom, the tridents that were given to Green, Red, Blue and Yellow clearly wasn't enchanted, however it still allows them to use them as if Riptide was on it. If one can recall, there was a bug that caused the enchantment glint to not appear (in the Player's inventory at least) on the trident. This may be a small nod to that little bug.

Purple. This seems to have been retconned out, as now we know Purple's origins and how he was born.
* His other ShrugOfGod regarding the Dark Lord's fate ("still deciding lol") makes sense when you realize that, outside of Gold and Pink, we've never seen a stick figure die permanently in the series since victim (and even he got better); series; and between those two, one was wiped from existence while the other had seemingly passed away from natural causes. And they were Internet-born stick figures, while the Alan-drawn stick figures, of which the Dark Lord is one of them, have even actively resisted things that would otherwise be lethal. (The Chosen One surviving [=ViraBot=]'s onslaught, victim somehow surviving deletion, and the Second Coming surviving several slashes from the Dark Lord where only one was enough to kill a Fighting Stick Figure, even before his EleventhHourSuperpower kicks in.)

* In ''The King'', after King's son dies when the Minecraft emulator crashes, we see him attack the wall where a Minecraft poster hangs, and then the camera turns to show his son on the other side of the wall still fighting to escape the emulator, implying he never stopped reliving that horrible moment. When does he finally break through that wall? In the process of attacking an image of himself attacking the Minecraft icon and everyone he stepped on in his quest for revenge. On the other side of the wall is Purple grieving his mother's loss. King only broke out of his cycle of grief and found peace once he embraced Purple as a surrogate son.
* Red's DarkHorseVictory in ''Redstone Academy'' makes more sense than you might think. Green and the Second Coming's final builds were only really doable with commands; while impressive, this isn't what Yellow was testing them on. Blue's build meanwhile was relatively simple on the redstone side--he presses one button to push a redstone block to activate dispensers, and that's about it; it was more a demostration of water physics. Red's build showcased the most redstone principles and ''only'' redstone, so it makes perfect sense he'd be the winner.

[=SMB1=] Mario takes CollisionDamage from The Second Coming the moment the stick figure attempts a handshake, but when we see [=SMB2=] Mario and [=SMB3=] Mario sitting in the same couch as the stick figures after everyone got along with each other they're just fine, and [=SMB1=] Mario himself shortly joins everyone on the couch. It seems that the Marios only take Collision Damage from outside entities if they don't trust them because they see them as "enemies".
* The Second Coming's ability to draw animals and items to aid him against the mercenaries doesn't come completely out of nowhere; his last act against the Animator in ''[=AvA IV=]'' was drawing people and animals to help him take apart the animation interface. ''[=AvA=] VI'' just translates that to the Stick World.
* In "Animation vs. Math", The Second Coming seems out of place. Except that according to a viewer, he can [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igDeXHS5kUU&lc=UgwKQpq0vxUNQysCuY94AaABAg represent the numerical value that is frames per second]]. He represents maths meeting visuals.
* People wonder why the titular villager chef in ''The Chef'' was nowhere to be found during ''The Raid'', given how easily he flattened the Stick Gang the second they tried taking the Master Cookbook by force. Ignoring the fact that [[WorfHadTheFlu the Stick Gang was starving the whole episode and so probably wasn't fighting at full strength]], the chef seemed to only have the upper hand in a melee fight, while most of the illagers were ranged fighters or spellcasters. Even if he could throw those kitchen knives farther to cover range, Green demonstrated at the end of ''The Chef'' that the villager chef is something of a GlassCannon, implying he'd only need one hit from one illager to be put out of the fight.
* Why does TSC begin to shrink relative to the apple when he reaches the black hole’s singularity? Perhaps because the black hole is compressing them both… but while the apple is made of particles that can only get so small, Second Coming is [[OutsideContextProblem a cartoon]] and can be compressed much smaller without any particles to get in the way.
* While stealing Yellow's staff was still wrong, Red's curiosity in ''Lucky Block Staff'' over how the staff would work with a Lucky Block [[Recap/AnimatorVsAnimationAVMShortsEpisode19LuckyBlocks despite how poorly their initial attempts went]] makes sense when you remember [[Recap/AnimatorVsAnimationAVMShortsEpisode6CommandBlocks their initial tests with Command Blocks, which the staff normally contains, went horribly awry to the point of being sworn off as well]]. Red likely just assumed that since he wasn't going out of his way to use it for evil, nothing bad would happen- the problem stemmed from how compared to the Command Block, which works off of code that does exactly what the user tells it to do, the Lucky Block is inherently unpredictable, chaotic, and thus uncontrollable.

Ignoring the fact that [[WorfHadTheFlu the Stick Gang was starving the whole episode and so probably wasn't fighting at full strength]], the chef seemed to only have the upper hand in a melee fight, while most of the illagers were ranged fighters or spellcasters. Even if he could throw those kitchen knives farther to cover range, Green demonstrated at the end of ''The Chef'' that the villager chef is something of a GlassCannon, implying he'd only need one hit from one illager to be put out of the fight.
* Why does TSC begin to shrink relative to the apple when he reaches the black hole’s singularity? singularity in ''vs. Physics''? Perhaps because the black hole is compressing them both… but while the apple is made of particles that can only get so small, the Second Coming is [[OutsideContextProblem a cartoon]] and can be compressed much smaller without any particles to get in the way.
* While stealing Yellow's staff was still wrong, Red's curiosity in ''Lucky "Lucky Block Staff'' Staff" over how the staff would work with a Lucky Block [[Recap/AnimatorVsAnimationAVMShortsEpisode19LuckyBlocks despite how poorly their initial attempts went]] makes sense when you remember [[Recap/AnimatorVsAnimationAVMShortsEpisode6CommandBlocks their initial tests with Command Blocks, which the staff normally contains, went horribly awry to the point of being sworn off as well]]. Red likely just assumed that since he wasn't going out of his way to use it for evil, nothing bad would happen- the problem stemmed from how compared to the Command Block, which works off of code that does exactly what the user tells it to do, the Lucky Block is the home of an entity that is inherently unpredictable, chaotic, and thus uncontrollable.



* Liking a Website/{{Facebook}} post usually means you agree with the person in what they said. This adds a bit of AlternateCharacterInterpretation to Second Coming when he likes the "I give up on life" post. Perhaps he too [[DespairEventHorizon gave up on life]], especially since it happens just after his friends die.
** This really makes his message to the animator while resisting his task ending HarsherInHindsight. Even though he did overreact and go on a rampage, SC had every right to be angry with the animator.



** ''Lucky Blocks'' shows us what happens when some other entity possesses a stick figure; their spirit/soul/mind/whatever appears in a sort of jail cell, from which they can see the monitor, including their possessed body attacking their friends. Notably, while ''every'' stick figure ends up possessed by the time the episode ends, Red is the only one we don't see waking up in that cell; probably because it isn't new for him. While Yellow could find the means to still fight back, with everyone else following suit as they're possessed one by one, Red didn't have that ability in ''vs Minecraft''; [[ForcedToWatch all he could do was watch as his body beat up and almost killed his friends.]]
* ''vs. Youtube'' shows the original ''Animator vs. Animation'' exists as a video in this world. One has to wonder how the stick figures would react if they saw the Animator tried to kill Victim for no reason and enslaved the Chosen One as a glorified pop-up blocker.
** The Chosen One is implied to have forgiven Alan in ''The Chosen One's Return'', as he leaves with little more than a respectful nod. So while they might not be happy to learn about Alan's past transgressions, hopefully they'd understand that he's since had a HeelFaceTurn.

Since it had minimal offscreen time between launch and attack, odds are low it ever multiplied, so now that the Chosen One vanquished it, we can only hope that's the end of it. However, the episode brings new horror: Last we saw of the Dark Lord, he was simply knocked aside by the Chosen One.

** He's shown sleeping in a Minecraft bed at one point (''Note Blocks''), so hopefully that allowed him to set a respawn point. Alternatively, since he was created in Flash, he could respawn there. However, there's no way to be sure until it happens. Not even several slashes from the Dark Lord, who could OneHitKill a Fighting Stick Figure, could kill TSC.
* In Animation vs Pokemon, Ethan makes sure the final battle takes place on the desktop. But since the SC is from that world (as he was created and came to life in Flash), he knows how to fight in it. He could just get out a diamond sword from Minecraft and attack Ethan with it. Or worse yet, the other stick figures, if they chose to intervene, could gang up and beat him up, Pokemon or no Pokemon. Ethan is lucky that the SC both plays fair and [[WouldntHurtAChild would not hurt him that way]]. But if he battled him normally in Heart Gold, then things might have been fairer.

* In ''The Showdown'', when the Animator joins the fight, the perspective constantly changes between the Animator's point of view (just moving the mouse cursor) and the stick figures' point of view (being horribly beaten up by a giant 3D cursor). Now see every other video again, and try to imagine yourself in the point of view of any stick figure. [[ColdBloodedTorture It won't be pretty]].
** Then again, we see some instances of some sticks' hands reaching halfway down the front of the cursor with the same stick held behind the cursor. Yellow's program may have simply manifested a giant cursor for combat; on a computer, it could be much smaller.
* King lives in the Nether, and the Witch found Blue in the Nether. King knows a lot about the Stick Gang and even has a video of their adventures, the Witch somehow knew about the Stick Gang and Blue's unusual taste in food, and Purple is encountered in the same world that the Witch lived in. King could have been working with the Witch, and planned a UriahGambit to get her killed, and Purple was most likely perfectly aware of this.
* As shown numerous times, in this universe, stick figures can jump through computer to computer just by using Nether portals (or, more specifically, Nether portals inside the Nether), to the point that the Second Coming and Red managed to encounter a ''Minecraft'' gamer. Now, imagine if the Dark Lord, his army of [=ViraBots=], or pre-HeelFaceTurn The Chosen One found out about this, and stumbled upon a computer with ''Minecraft'' installed on it, which would be no hard task...
** But there's more to it... First, Red and Second Coming teleported into the player's world via pointing two beacons into the beam of another beacon, and that player was on singleplayer given that the Open to LAN button wasn't darkened out. It's FridgeLogic how that worked, but it's ParanoiaFuel for those who start thinking about [[UrbanLegendOfZelda Herobrine]].
* King lives in the Nether, which so far has been characterized as shared by all stick figures no matter what type of computer they come from. So, for whatever reason, King avoids living in a computer. [[OhCrap And then you realize he wants the Master Block, which is a computer icon, and that while his true plan is still an enigma, it's implied to be something incredibly powerful...]]
* Second Coming and Red instinctively panic when alexcrafter28's cursor approaches them after they escape from Minecraft onto the desktop.

* The first two times Green asks about Purple's whereabouts in ''Note Block Universe'', the ones that answer actually show (via musical note pictures) Purple entering and exiting the scene. The third time, when Green asks the Villagers, Green actually makes the image of Purple and the Villagers just confirm that yes, he went thataway (note that Green actually has to ask for confirmation on this). When Green does catch up to Purple, the latter is revealed to have also learned to speak Note Block. Green learned that by being pressured by the Villagers who wouldn't let him use his Note Block. Since we're not shown Purple just running through the Village like the previous two scenes (the field and cave), we can probably assume he was stopped by the Villagers like Green was, and was pressured in the same way to learn to speak Note Block before he could keep running. We see at the tail end of Purple's backstory that he's regretting most if not all of his trauma-fueled maliciousness, including how he treated his own Villagers. Taking all of this together, being surrounded and hassled by those Villagers probably did ''not'' help his state of mind.

* The Animator always refers to the Chosen One as a 'he' even after he had destroyed the computer), but in ''IV'', he murmurs out in disbelief "[[ItIsDehumanizing It]] talks?" when referring to the Second Coming. Knowing that TSC had been brought to life by ''accident'' while the Animator had personally named the Chosen One... Ouch. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything It probably stings the more you think about it.]] At least [[EarnYourHappyEnding they grow to respect each other, becoming pals.]]
** There are three other possible explanations that are less sad; back when ''Animator vs. Animation II'' came out, maybe gender neutral pronouns for living creatures weren't as common and it was more common to use male pronouns by default. The second possibility is that when Alan drew the Chosen One, he imagined him as being male, but since he never intended to make the Second Coming, he has no idea what gender he was and thus settled with a gender neutral one to not make a mistake. The last possibility is that stick figures were meant to have gender in ''Animator vs. Animation II'', but it was retconned and now they are all genderless.
*** With later revelations in future episodes, such as even in-series stick figures calling TCO a male or there being confirmed stick figure genders... yea, [[ThatThingIsNotMyChild the most likely option is the likeliest]].

[[FromBadToWorse So to replace this Fridge Sadness with another one]], there's no sign of King Orange's wife/Gold's mother anywhere. At best this means there was a nasty divorce, but more likely--given that even if they were estranged, she'd have some kind of reaction to her son ''dying''--she died herself before the start of the flashback.
* Purple knew of King Orange's intentions, and when he is betrayed, he just chooses to run into the Note Block Universe instead of finding the portal to the Outernet; and when he is there, he just wants to be left alone in a desert. Purple crossed the DespairEventHorizon so hard he decided he deserves to [[DyingAlone die all by himself]], and likely waited for King Orange's black hole to reach him.

* Why is the Second Coming called that if the Chosen One (which ''Animator vs. Animation IV'' hinted he was the {{reincarnation}} of) was alive the whole time? Think about what he does: he only uses his superpowers [[EleventhHourSuperpower when in a real pinch]], normally relying on his GoodOldFisticuffs and [[MacGyvering jury-rigged weapons]].

As explaind by the two-bullets conter-argument, this doesn't really count as a Fridge Horror.


* When Red starts scrolling through the inventory in ''The Rediscovery'' in a similar manner to how Possessed Red did in ''vs. Minecraft'', Yellow immediately reaches for the button to activate the arrow dispensers. The Second Coming stops him, and Red is later revealed to just be faking them out, but ''that prank almost got him shot and killed.''
** Thankfully, ''[=PvP=]'' revealed that the stick figures can respawn, so this wouldn't have ended as badly as it initially appeared.
** Even if that weren't the case, if anything had went wrong, they could have asked the Animator to revive Red by refreshing the page he came from, or pulled the cursor to the page and done it themselves.
** ''vs. Youtube'' shows that they don't even need the cursor to refresh pages. All they need to do is tap the refresh button themselves.

* In "Animation vs. Math", The Second Coming seems out of place. Except that according to a viewer, he can [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igDeXHS5kUU&lc=UgwKQpq0vxUNQysCuY94AaABAg represent the numerical value that is frames per second]]. He represents maths meeting visuals.

I think you meant Thr Second Coming since King is not from a website and is from the outernet instead


* Due to being from ''[=SticksFight=].com'', the Fighting Stick Figures can be revived if they ever get killed or deleted, as revealed in the endings of ''Animator vs. Animation IV'' and ''[=PvP=]''. However, King is not from the website, and was drawn in Flash. If he ever died, this might mean that ''[[KilledOffForReal he would never come back]].''

* The Second Coming's ability to draw animals and items to aid him against the mercenaries doesn't come completely out of nowhere; his last act against the Animator in ''[=AvA IV=]'' was drawing people and animals to help him take apart the animation interface. ''[=AvA=] VI'' just translates that to the Stick World.

* Are the Chosen One and the Second Coming [[AndIMustScream still conscious while they're paused]]? While the Second Coming gets unpaused before being locked up, the Chosen One doesn't get this mercy.
