| 14 | ''The'' main characters of the series, though [[IconicSequelCharacter they don't appear until the fourth entry]]. Composing of the Animator's fourth creation and four stick figures from an Internet animation, they are a group of friends who love fighting and adventures, causing them to go to many misadventures. |
| 15 | ---- |
| 16 | * ActionHero: The main characters of a very fight-focused series, with almost every episode featuring at least one fight. |
| 17 | * AerithAndBob: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and ''the Second Coming''. Justified given how TSC is not a "natural" stick figure by any means, and also Downplayed because he goes by Orange. |
| 18 | * AffectionateParody: Red, Blue, Green and Yellow are all direct parodies of the "fighting stick figure" genre of Flash animations (codified by ''WebAnimation/XiaoXiao'') that trended the internet in the early 2000s, seemingly having no life beyond "fighting each other" until the Second Coming came along, with their home and fight area being a simple black and white line drawing of the inside of a two-story building, a very common setting for these shorts. |
| 19 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: The ''whole group'' is constantly outdone by Green in things like building competitions, music and pranking. The Second Coming, meanwhile, is better than the four of them ''combined'' in fighting; and, as it turns out, even music. |
| 20 | * ApeShallNotKillApe: They have no problems killing off armies of hostile mobs or other enemies until stick figures are involved, as seen when [[spoiler:Yellow stops the Titan Ravager from killing King Orange, with the other stick figures seemingly also being against it]]. [[spoiler:The Second Coming has decided he makes exceptions to those called "The Dark Lord"]]. |
| 21 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: All five of them have moments of using their surroundings and knowledge to further their goals, such as Yellow realising how to escape the parkour simulation by simply realising command blocks are involved, or Red seeing a netherite block and immediately guessing that - due to being superior to gold - it will make the staff a much stronger weapon. |
| 22 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: There are numerous moments in the series proving that, despite their numerous arguments, they all truly care for each other. |
| 23 | * BackFromTheDead: Happens [[TheyKilledKennyAgain a lot]] to Red, Blue, Green and Yellow. |
| 24 | ** They are seemingly deleted by the Animator during ''Animator vs. Animation 4'', only to come back when he refreshes the page they came from. |
| 25 | ** They are killed by [[spoiler:the Dark Lord]] during "[[spoiler:The Showdown]]", but they come back when [[spoiler:the Second Coming revives them using the Dark Lord's console]]. |
| 26 | ** Once again, they meet their end during "[[spoiler:The King]]" by [[spoiler:falling into King Orange's black hole while trying to throw the staff into the Nether portal. They resurrect less then a minute afterwards, due to the Second Coming managing to undo the black hole's effects]]. |
| 27 | ** In a more comical example, they all accidentally kill themselves during "TNT Jump", only to respawn at their bed. Additionally, Green is killed twice during ''[=PvP=]'' while Red ''[[BlackComedySuicide purposefully kills himself]]'' in "Nether Nap" to regenerate his energy, knowing he'll respawn nearby. |
| 28 | * BadassAdorable: They are often rather cute with their misadventures and how they can get excited over nothing. They're also amazing fighters who have killed numerous mobs. |
| 29 | * BadassNormal: Unless they enter a game [[spoiler:or the Second Coming unlocks his EleventhHourSuperpower]], they have no powers, but they are still extremely good fighters. |
| 30 | * BashBrothers: All five of them have enough fighting skills to kick major amounts of ass together as a BadassCrew. Fittingly enough, it's possible Red, Blue, Green and Yellow ''really are'' brothers due to seemingly coming from the same website. |
| 31 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: They are usually nice, silly kids that goof out. They can also completely and totally end you if you get on their bad side. |
| 32 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: Again, fun-loving stick figures that can beat your ass. |
| 33 | * BloodKnight: They all have an affinity for fighting, whether it's sparring with each other or watching violent action movies. |
| 34 | * BreakoutCharacter: The Second Coming was originally just another [[VictimOfTheWeek stick figure of the episode]], while his friends were [[SatelliteCharacter an excuse for him to fight his creator]]. In their very next appearance, they become the main cast and they stay like this for the entire series. |
| 35 | * CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Despite being mere {{Badass Normal}}s, they have superhuman levels of strength and durability. |
| 36 | * ChromaticArrangement: They are orange, red, green, blue and yellow. |
| 37 | * ColourfulThemeNaming: They all have the same name as their respective color. The one exception is the Second Coming, but even ''he'' has an AscendedFanNickname of Orange. |
| 38 | * DeathIsCheap: If Red, Yellow, Green or Blue die, they simply respawn in their animation window, but the website might have to be refreshed. Additonally, they can also resurrect using the respawn mechanics in ''Minecraft'', such as beds or crying obsidian. [[spoiler:The Dark Lord works around this with his code-erasing virus powers, which would have [[DeaderThanDead kept them down for good]] due to erasing all traces of them, though the Second Comingly manages to bring them back]]. |
| 39 | * DivergentCharacterEvolution: Because of their limited screentime, they don't really have unique personalities in ''Animator vs. Animation 4'', but the following videos give them distinct character traits with Red being an animal lover, Yellow being good at engineering and coding, Blue loving gardening, potion and food-making (and having a bad Nether wart addiction), and Green being the best architect and musician. |
| 40 | * ADogNamedDog: A green stick figure named Green, a red stick figure named Red, a yellow stick figure named Yellow, a blue stick figure named Blue, and an orange stick figure [[AscendedFanNickname that goes by]] Orange. |
| 41 | * EnsembleCast: The series' main protagonists. |
| 42 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: [[DownplayedTrope It's not their first appearance]], but the first time the Stick Gang gets to use the ''Minecraft'' Game Icon, they begin doing things that immediately establish their personality for the rest of the series. |
| 43 | ** The Second Coming simply makes a house for himself, showing his unwillingness to go on adventures and preference to staying home. Additionally, in ''Animator vs. Animation 4'', after defeating Alan's cursor, he goes on to create drawings and befriends them, showcasinge TSC's trait of being the ArtAttacker and just simply wanting to have friends. |
| 44 | ** When Green is introduced to the ''Minecraft'' Icon, he used it to build a fully ''functioning'' windmill showcasing the first ever moment of him being an architect and TheAce. His music abilities would not come until "Note Blocks". |
| 45 | ** When Blue gets his hands on the icon, he uses it to build a farm while cultivating multiple plants from crops to trees, establishing Blue's trait as a gardener. His potion making skills would come later in the episode "Potions". |
| 46 | ** When Yellow grabs the icon, he creates a beacon pyramid later and a piston contraption that changes the beacon's lights, cementing Yellows skills as TheEngineer, while coding would be new for him in the episode "Command Blocks". |
| 47 | ** For Red's case, it's an interesting and subtle moment. Most of the monsters the stick figures fight in ''Animation vs. Minecraft'' stem from Red spawning them while possessed by Herobrine. When he gets to use the Minecraft icon on his own free will, he spawns rabbits, showcasing he's TheBeastmaster and a FriendToAllLivingThings. |
| 48 | * FighterMageThief: |
| 49 | ** Red is a Fighter, using a sword and shield in combat [[LeeroyJenkins and typically being the first to charge headfirst into fights]]. |
| 50 | ** Yellow is a Mage; his command block staff allows him an endless array of commands to "cast", and he usually serves as support. |
| 51 | ** Blue is a Thief, favoring ranged weapons such as bows. |
| 52 | ** Green is a Fighter with elements of the Thief archetype, using a sword in tandem with a fishing rod to be a fast and agile attacker. |
| 53 | ** The Second Coming [[AllYourPowersCombined combines all three archetypes, using a variety of techniques and skills in combat]]. |
| 54 | * IconicSequelCharacter: The main and most popular characters of the series, who only appeared at the very end of Season 1 (and thus, the fourth entry in the series). |
| 55 | * InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: For unknown reasons, they look exactly like Purple and King Orange, despite the two not coming from the fighting animation. This would be later explained in Seasons 3 of both ''[=AvM=]'' and ''[=AvA=]'', which show that the majority of the Internet's stick figures happen to have that specific design, and it's rare for a stick figure to look different. |
| 56 | * InstantExpert: There are few things they ''don't'' immediately master. |
| 57 | * ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: [[spoiler:None of them know anything about King Orange and thus have no personal beef with him besides "the guy who we need to stop". By comparison, they - especially Green - have a more personal relationship with Purple due to him [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder constantly betraying them]]. Tellingly, they actually have an easier time forgiving ''King Orange'' than Purple in "The King", accepting the former's apology but needing Red's pig to confirm the latter is a friend]]. |
| 58 | * KidHero: The series implies they are ''at oldest'' teenagers: they should be around the same age as Purple, who himself was compared to [[spoiler:Gold]], and they are clearly supposed to be younger than King Orange, [[spoiler:who was old enough to have a son]]. WordOfGod claims they are somewhere between 10 and 13. |
| 59 | * LovecraftLite: Of the DigitalAbomination variety. They are simple drawings (the Second Coming) and animations (the other guys) that manage to come to life out of nowhere, without anything instigating it, and manage to have as much control over the PC as the Animator himself. Whenever they interact with a video game or website, their mere influence makes characters on them come to life, too. It mixes with HumanoidAbomination and BenevolentAbomination, as they're human-like stick figures and fully heroic. |
| 60 | * MeanCharacterNiceActor: In the animation they come from, Red, Blue, Yellow and Green fight each other for no apparent reason. But when the animation isn't playing, they are on good terms with each other and are friendly to outsiders. |
| 61 | * MysteriousPast: Excluding TSC, whose origins we directly see. That said, we know ''nothing'' about the pasts of the remaining members "They all came from the same website where they fought". They ''probably'' come from the Outernet given they have the same design as its citizens, but it's unknown how they got to a website or what happened to their parents; people they ''must'' have had if the "they're from the Outernet" theory is true. |
| 62 | * OneManArmy: ''All of them'' are fully capable of killing armies of hostile mobs by themselves, and get even stronger whenever their friends are backing them up. |
| 63 | * PaletteSwap: Red, Blue, Green and Yellow look exactly the same except for their colors. The Second Coming also serves as this, but to the Chosen One, the Dark Lord and victim. |
| 64 | * PopCulturedBadass: A group of five BadassNormal asskickers, whose experience and skills stem from the many video games they play, such as ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'', ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'', ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldandSilver Pokemon]]'', and especially ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''. They also enjoy watching other people play video games and Website/{{YouTube}} action videos of other stick figures fighting each other. |
| 65 | * PrimaryColorChampion: Played with. With the exception of Green and the Second Coming (whose colors are secondary), the rest of them have their own respective color from the primary colors Red, Blue and Yellow and they are certainly heroic. |
| 66 | * SatelliteCharacter: Green, Yellow, Blue and Red were originally one of these, serving no purpose other than giving the Second Coming a reason to battle the Animator. However, they quickly leave the area and get their own personalities. |
| 67 | * ShoutOut: Green, Blue, Yellow and Red are inspired by all the fighting stick figures that can be found on the internet. The animation they come from is directly inspired by the most popular ''WebAnimation/XiaoXiao'' episode with a similar background. |
| 68 | * SoreLoser: As shown in the Build Battle episodes, "Parkour" and ''Ultimate Minecart Race'', they are ''very'' competitive and don't take losing easy. That's probably why Purple's relatively petty revenge plan - beating them in a ''League of Legends'' route - is enough for them [[SeriousBusiness to treat it like a major thing]]. |
| 69 | * TookALevelInBadass: Throughout the ''[=AvM=]'' Shorts, they gradually get more and more skilled with ''Minecraft''. |
| 70 | ** Throughout the first season, the use of redstone was mainly Yellow's domain. "Redstone Academy" has him teach the other sticks about the nuances of redstone, and once they know all the mechanics, they're skilled enough with it to build contraptions that reflect their preferences. |
| 71 | ** "Note Blocks" has each stick figure manning one instrument for a band, and Second Coming resorting to turning the PC's volume down. "Note Block Battle" has Green one-manning an entire composition with the use of tripwires to reach the blocks that don't fit in his immediate vicinity, and Second Coming crashing the resulting battle with an electric guitar solo. |
| 72 | ** "The Nether" has Green and Blue helpless against a small group of zombie pigmen, having to mount a Ghast in order to turn the tide. "The Piglin War" has Blue able to simultaneously slaughter a zombified Piglin horde ''and'' keep a living Piglin hunting squad at bay non-lethally, all on his own. |
| 73 | * TheRedeemer: All of them are good at redeeming their enemies: The Animator, Purple, Purple's village, [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor Purple again]], Ethan, the Marios, the Piglins, the Warden, the Yellow Team, the Titan Ravager, [[spoiler:Purple ''again'' (and for good this time), King Orange[[note]]Though to be fair, King more or less redeemed himself and the Stick Gang just rolled with it[[/note]]]], Q*bert and Euler's identity. |
| 74 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Even excluding the friendly sparring, there is so much fighting and arguing between these five little guys. Doesn't change the fact they will do anything to keep each other safe. |

| 80 | [[caption-width-right:409:''[[ItsPersonal You ended my friends]]. [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge Now I will]] [[BadassBoast end you]].'']] |
| 81 | TheHero of the series, he is an orange stick figure created by the Animator. He rebelled against his creator after he deleted his friends, to the point of even defeating him, but the two made peace once the Animator resurrected the Second Coming's friends, the creator and creation becoming TrueCompanions.\ |
| 82 | \ |
| 83 | The Second Coming possesses [[AmbiguousSituation unknown connections]] to the Chosen One: Task Manager states he is "the Chosen One's Return", though ''[=AvA=]'' Season 2 contradicts it by revealing the Chosen One is alive and well. For what it's worth, he's rarely even referred to by his name: WordOfGod tends to call him "Orange", an AscendedFanNickname that eventually crossed to the series itself[[note]]At the end of "Ultimate Minecart Race", you can briefly see the command block's text call him "Orange" when Yellow uses it on him.[[/note]].\ |
| 84 | \ |
| 85 | Not to be confused with [[Characters/AnimatorVsAnimationAdversaries the other, much more evil Orange]]. |
| 86 | ---- |
| 87 | * EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:In "The Showdown". After seeing his friends killed and receiving a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown from the Dark Lord, he awakens his latent superpowers which are similar to the Chosen One's, although his are [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience green]] and actually strong enough to finish off the Dark Lord once and for all.]] |
| 88 | * AesopAmnesia: Usually very much averted due to being the OnlySaneMan. However, at the end of "Lucky Blocks", he cheerfuly pulls out green Lucky Blocks after everyone has just defeated the Lucky Block Orb, apparently forgotting the events of the episode ''[[ExaggeratedTrope mere seconds after it's done]]''. |
| 89 | * AlmightyJanitor: [[spoiler:The strongest known entity in the Outernet]] that's also a nice kid that usually spends time playing with his friends. |
| 90 | * AlwaysABiggerFish: [[spoiler:When his powers are awakened, he's this to both the Chosen One and the Dark Lord. Whereas it took the Chosen One an entire video to take down a single [=ViraBot=] and the Dark Lord manages to tank through both TCO and the Animator's attacks, the Second Coming destroys ''the entire [=ViraBot=] army'' in one fell swoop and forces the Dark Lord to run for his life, only to be annihilated anyway. Oh, and he can use his powers on technology to revive his deleted friends]]. |
| 91 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: "Note Block Battle" reveals he's the best musician of the Stick Gang, even more than Green himself. He just doesn't bother using it. He's also a far better fighter than any of them. |
| 92 | * ArchEnemy: Subverted, interestingly enough. Despite some of his friends having some kind of unique enemy (The Animator and the Chosen One [formerly], Green and Purple [also formerly], Red and his not-enemy Herobrine, Blue and the Witch), TheHero of the series himself has no truly personal, "greatest" enemy. While he has some sort of connections with the series' three biggest villains - The Dark Lord, King Orange and the Boss - none of them really hit the bill. [[spoiler:The Dark Lord ''could've'' become this, given how he killed the Fighting Stick Figures and was the most dangerous threat so far, but he is taken care of so quickly - and the Second Coming knows him so little - that not even he fits. It also doesn't help he is presented as ''the Chosen One's'' archenemy.]] |
| 93 | * ArtAttacker: The Second Coming is a very resourceful stick figure, able to use just a pencil to summon various weapons and allies against such as the likes of Alan Becker, [=ViraBot=], and the Mercenaries. |
| 94 | * ArtifactName: His name, "The Second Coming", was originally meant to indicate that he was some kind of reincarnation of the Chosen One. There's even a moment in ''Animator vs Animation 4'' where he glitches into the Chosen One's appearance for a split second. However, in Season 2 of the main series, we learn that the Chosen One was alive all along and he and the Second Coming doesn't seem to know each other nor do they seem to be related in any way, meaning that the name of the Second Coming has lost its meaning. Fittingly enough, he's mostly known as Orange npw. |
| 95 | * AscendedFanboy: Very quickly goes from being awestruck by Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow's fighting, then to being close friends, then to being the strongest of the group and TheLeader, then his four friends are the fans and watch his adventures in Pokémon. |
| 96 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: It's implied he's the leader of the Stick Gang due to being the single best fighter out of them all. |
| 97 | * AxCrazy: Briefly turns into this in the "Pop-Ups" ''Actual Short'', where he ''literally'' goes rabid due to all the pop-ups swarming the PC: He's seen growling and attacks Blue and Yellow due to mistaking them for pop-ups in his rage. |
| 98 | * BadassAndChildDuo: Subverted. [[spoiler:The Chosen One seemingly tried to form one with the Second Coming in "Wanted" to battle the Mercenaries, but it quickly becomes clear the "duo" was just TCO watching as TSC curb-stomps the mercs, not realising the latter can't naturally access his superpowers. The Second Coming is forced to defend the Chosen One using other means, which ultimately fails]]. |
| 99 | * BadassBoast: "You ended my friends. Now I will end you." |
| 100 | * BadassNormal: He's much like victim rather than the Chosen One. He doesn't [[spoiler:[[EleventhHourSuperPower usually]]]] have any special powers, only fighting Alan by physical punches, kicks, and whatever [[ImprovisedWeapon jury rigged weapons and tools]] he can create (like a laser pistol) or use (using the pencil tool to create drawings to wreck the animation interface). |
| 101 | * TheBeastmaster: Shows shades of this in ''Wanted", as he draws several animals to aid him in battle. |
| 102 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Despite being the youngest of the Stick Gang, it's clear he views the others - especially Red - as people he needs to protect, and will ''not'' take it nicely if they are in danger. |
| 103 | * BigDamnHeroes: |
| 104 | ** In "The End", he, Yellow, Red [[ItMakesSenseInContext and a dozen Villagers]] save Green and Blue from falling to their deaths. |
| 105 | ** In ''Animation vs. League of Legends'', he enters the battlefield just when Purple is about to win the game, distracting the latter by attacking his base long enough for a sequence of events that result in the Stick Gang's victory. |
| 106 | ** In "The Ultimate Weapon", [[spoiler:he arrives to fight King Orange just as he launches his black hole]]. |
| 107 | * BigLittleBrother: Not in height, but behavior. He's by all means the youngest of the Stick Gang, the others already existing by the time the Animator drew him. That said, you cannot be blamed for thinking he's the oldest with how they act. |
| 108 | * CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:The Animator's creations can be seen as brothers due to sharing the same creator, and the Second Coming and the Dark Lord try to kill each other upon meeting. [[UncertainDoom The former might have succeeded]].]] |
| 109 | * TheCameo: He makes a cameo as a structure in [=YouTube's=] 1 trillion view milestone for ''Minecraft'' content due to the popularity of the ''Animation vs. Minecraft'' video. |
| 110 | * CharacterDevelopment: After the Stick Gang's incident with the different worlds explored through the Nether Portals in ''[=AvM=] Shorts'' Season 1, the Second Coming wanted nothing more than to avoid leaving Alan's PC at any cost and was heavily disappointed when Blue's quest for nether wart forced him and the others to leave home once again to find him. In "Lush Caves", however, he realizes that if he never left Alan's PC, he would've never discovered the amazing worlds that existed outside and became more willing to explore. |
| 111 | * TheChosenOne: Alan's orange stick figure is named [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast "The Second Coming"]], but unlike the Chosen One, we don’t know where the name came from - Alan never even turned him into a named symbol. He also fits the role of hero much more cleanly than The Chosen One, being a FriendToAllLivingThings with a [[spoiler:[[SuperpoweredEvilSide Superpowered]] ''[[PlayingWith Good]]'' [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Side]]]], an ally to [[BigGood Alan]], and TheLeader of his group of friends; and he’s been on multiple adventures to save his friends and [[{{Cyberspace}} the internet]], even [[spoiler:singlehandedly defeating the Dark Lord]]. |
| 112 | * ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Unlike his animated predecessors, the Second Coming became on good terms with Alan and is a permanent character in the series. |
| 113 | * CurbStompCushion: [[spoiler:His SuperMode delivers a ''massive'' and completely unfair beatdown on the Dark Lord, though the red stick figure got one good hit in]]. |
| 114 | * DefenceMechanismSuperpower: It's implied that [[spoiler:the powers the Second Coming unleashed near the end of "The Showdown" will only activate under dire circumstances, as they vanish once the danger has passed and the Second Coming can't summon them at will.]] |
| 115 | * {{Determinator}}: In ''4'', when Alan attempts to end TSC using task manager: [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu "This action cannot be completed because the program is too resistant."]] |
| 116 | * DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: He befriends the Warden in its titular episode. |
| 117 | * DigitalAbomination: Even by [[LovecraftLite stick figure]] standards, the Second Coming is... ''off.'' He comes into existence by himself with no invitation[[note]]The only other characters to do this are the Kickstarter Stick (who's non-canon) and Hangman (who's a one-off gag character)[[/note]], knows that there is a world outside the PC unlike everyone else (though other characters do eventually recognize there's someone on the other side of the computer screen, the Second Coming is the first one to acknowledge this, and he knew it since creation), is seemingly unkillable despite being a mere BadassNormal, has some weird connections to the Chosen One, [[spoiler:and possesses an extremely powerful SuperMode that gives him amnesia each time he uses it]]. A FreezeFrameBonus from "The Showdown" makes him ''even weirder'', [[https://www.reddit.com/r/AlanBecker/comments/18lfu4y/i_rewatched_ava_5_the_showdown_recently_and/ as the "StickData" text that appears when the Animator enters the Outernet]] gives him the unusual name "[=orj-ver.2ndComing=]", while everyone has shortened versions of their name (excluding Red, who's name is already very short). |
| 118 | * DistressedDude: Has to be saved by Red from King Orange in "Monster School". [[spoiler:He's also arrested in Season 3 of the main series, with the Fighting Stick Figures trying to save him]]. |
| 119 | * TheDreaded: [[spoiler:Anyone who knows of his SuperMode quickly knows to not screw with him: The Dark Lord is send [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere running in fear]], the Chosen One is shocked upon seeing it and meekly deems himself weaker with a PoseOfSupplication, while victim and the Mercenaries can do nothing but look at a recording of his CurbStompBattle against the Dark Lord in fear before putting him in a maximum security cage. The Second Coming's body language implies ''he's afraid of himself''. The only exception to this are the [[FeralVillain ViraBots]], who [[OneHitKill don't live long enough to learn their lesson]].]] |
| 120 | * EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: The Second Coming had slightly larger proportions in his debut in ''4'', especially when standing next to the Fighting Stick Figures in which he was shown to be taller than them. He gradually got shrunk down to the point he now stands at the same height as the rest of his friends, with his body proportions scaled down but his head staying about the same size. |
| 121 | * EmpoweredBadassNormal: [[spoiler:He is revealed to have powers in "The Showdown". Though the fact that it took a NearVillainVictory and the loss of his friends to trigger them, plus ending with a PostVictoryCollapse, indicate that they're not as easily used as they are for the Chosen One himself.]] |
| 122 | * {{Foil}}: |
| 123 | ** To King Orange. Both are orange stick figures who serve as the leaders of their respective groups, but while the Second Coming cares about his group and considers them as his friends, King Orange seems to only really care about himself and treats Purple and the piglins as expendable lackeys, even killing one of them for simply reporting bad news. [[spoiler:It is eventually revealed that King Orange ''does'' have others he cared about very deeply, but turned evil after their death, while the Second Coming has the sense to remain on the side of good when his friends are (temporarily) killed. While the Second Coming ''did'' try to destroy Alan's PC when the latter (temporarily) deletes his friends, Alan is framed as the "evil" force in that story. In one way, King Orange is essentially [[EvilCounterpart who the Second Coming could've been if Alan never resurrected his friends and he went off the deep end]].]] |
| 124 | ** To victim. Both are {{Badass Normal}}s who use the environment around them to make weapons, and were focused on the Animator himself rather than destroying everything around them, on top of having four friends (victim's clones, the Fighting Stick Figures). [[spoiler:But while the Second Coming befriended the Animator and is a full-on hero, victim remained evil and bitter, seeking revenge almost two decades later]]. |
| 125 | * ForgotFlandersCouldDoThat: In their debut, the Second Coming displays the ability to spontaneously create text when the Animator boxes them in. This trait was generally left to be forgotten as the series favored a dialogue-less SilenceIsGolden approach, excluding a brief moment at the beginning of "The Virus", but "Music Lesson" remembers Second Coming's text creation ability when he attempts to sing with Green. |
| 126 | * GoodIsNotSoft: He is mostly a NiceGuy willing to forgive his opponents despite his JerkWithAHeartOfGold tendencies, but he is not afraid to fight or even ''kill'' his opponents if they cross him. Herobrine, [=YouTube=], dozens upon dozens of hostile mobs and [[spoiler:the Dark Lord]] all learned this the hard way. |
| 127 | * HealingFactor: [[spoiler:One of his [[EleventhHourSuperpower secret superpowers]] is the ability to instantly heal his own injuries.]] |
| 128 | * HeroicSecondWind: [[spoiler:In tandem with EleventhHourSuperpower; not only does he gain powers like the Dark Lord and the Chosen One, his are actually powerful enough to finish off the Dark Lord completely.]] |
| 129 | * HeroWorshipper: First to the Fighting Stick Figures before becoming an AscendedFanboy, and then to the Chosen One after he defeated [=ViraBot=]. |
| 130 | * HiddenDepths: He's a really good artist--and in the end, he's willing to teach the Animator what he knows. |
| 131 | * InexplicablyAwesome: His name and title suggest he's ''somehow'' a remnant of the Chosen One, returned three years and a whole new computer later. Then it turns out The Chosen One was still alive the whole time doing his own thing on the internet. This makes it ''even more inexplicable'' that he has the name and title, [[spoiler:along with [[EleventhHourSuperpower latent powers]]]], especially since he wasn't named or empowered deliberately like the Chosen One or the Dark Lord. As far as anyone can tell, he's just a random half-finished doodle that developed an identity out of nowhere [[spoiler:and somehow possesses the strongest power in all of cyberspace]]. |
| 132 | * HorrifyingTheHorror: [[spoiler:His SuperMode left ''the Dark Lord'' scared shitless and running for his life]]. |
| 133 | * ItsPersonal: |
| 134 | ** Had a true hatred of the Animator once he killed off the Fighting Stick Figures. He moves past this quickly. |
| 135 | ** [[spoiler:It's not outright shown, but it's quite clear the Second Coming ''did not'' take it nicely that the Dark Lord killed the Fighting Stick Figures]]. |
| 136 | * TheLeader: Of his group of friends. That being said, they can do lots of cool things without him. |
| 137 | * LightIsGood: He's TheHero of the series and his color is a lighter shade of orange than King Orange's. |
| 138 | * LightningBruiser: Though [[spoiler:([[EleventhHourSuperpower at first]])]] lacking explicit superpowers like the Chosen One, he is much faster and stronger than victim was, capable of crazy acrobatics and breaking interface elements with strength alone. |
| 139 | * LikeParentLikeChild: He has his creator's creativity and drawing skills. |
| 140 | * MacGyvering: This seems to be his key skill among his friends besides being an artist. He built a functioning ray gun out of Flash's tool icons, and figured out instantly how to make armor and weapons in Minecraft. |
| 141 | * MeaningfulName: Called "The Second Coming" and "The Chosen One's Return" by the task manager in his debut episode. His handiness with tools and random objects also evokes that of victim's, so he could also be considered a "second coming" of him. [[spoiler: Pulls out some similar powers to the Chosen One to win the fight against the Dark Lord in "The Showdown".]] |
| 142 | * MessianicArchetype: [[GodOfGood The Animator]]'s creation/"son", a kindhearted figure with TrueCompanions that [[TheRedeemer influences villains to change]] and saves the world from the local SatanicArchetype, but not before "dying" and pulling a CrucifiedHeroShot. Oh, and '''''his name is literally The SecondComing'''''. |
| 143 | * NonIndicativeName: A rare case of overlap with MeaningfulName above; with the original Chosen One revealed to have survived the events of ''3'' in Season 2, the Second Coming's name and status as "The Chosen One's Return" is very much not literal, despite the origins of his character in ''4''. [[spoiler: Nonetheless, he has managed to inherit the legacy of both of Alan's previous stick figures debuting in ''1'' and ''2'', only with far greater power behind both their defining traits, namely victim's ingenuity and Chosen One's FlyingBrick powers.]] |
| 144 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Downplayed as other characters share his design, but as he is the only member of the Stick Gang to have a unique design, the Second Coming stands out among his friends. Compared to the other sticks, he has a bigger and more roughly drawn head, no feet, slightly smaller proportions, and his head is hollow. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in "Basketball", where Blue turns his head into a basketball hoop (revealed to be AllJustADream), and "Color Correction", where Yellow fills Second Coming's head with color, weighing his head down. |
| 145 | * NoSell: The first and most consistently obvious indication that there's more to him than just an orange stick figure is that he ''will not'' be deleted. He resists the Animator trying to end his task while his friends instantly vanished, and [[spoiler:while the Dark Lord's energy blade erased his friends and clearly ''hurts'' him, no matter how many times he's slashed and stabbed, he doesn't fade away]]. |
| 146 | * OnlySaneMan: Tends to be towards this in the newer animations. |
| 147 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The Second Coming usually shows a lot of emotions no matter what: even when fighting, you can usually tell if he's [[BloodKnight enjoying a friendly spar]] or enraged at whoever he is fighting. [[spoiler:This makes his SuperMode all the more weird and unnerving, as he displays ''zero'' emotion while giving a total CurbStompBattle against the Dark Lord.]] |
| 148 | * OutsideContextProblem: [[spoiler:Not once has anyone witnessed powers as great as the Second Coming's SuperMode, and since only the Chosen One was around to witness them (with TSC gaining amnesia after he's done using them), nobody knows of their existence or how to deal around them. Even ''the Second Coming'' doesn't know his own powers due to the aforementioned amnesia, and is as shocked as everyone else when he learns what he can do.]] |
| 149 | * ThePenIsMightier: Befitting his skills as both a [[BloodKnight fighter]] and [[ArtAttacker an artist]], he uses a digital pencil that can draw up any weapon or an ally [[CreatingLife that can come to life]] in order to assist the Chosen One, even creating them to [[MundaneUtility help the Animator with drawings]]. |
| 150 | * ThePowerOfCreation: In the ''[=AvA=]'' animations, their power tends to relate to their utilization of tools create: wielding a [[ThePenIsMightier pencil]] and using related animation implements to create actual weapons or spawn beasts. This is in contrast to the Chosen One's superpowers and the Fighting Stick Figures' martial arts, and serves as symbolism for how Second Coming is on friendlier terms the artistically-oriented Animator than the other stick figures. |
| 151 | * RedBaron: The Chosen One's Return. |
| 152 | * RedOniBlueOni: The calm, sensible and [[OnlySaneMan sane]] Blue Oni to Red's energetic and impulsive Red Oni. |
| 153 | * {{Reincarnation}}: Implied to be one of the Chosen One, as Task Manager calls it "The Chosen One's return". [[spoiler:Subverted when the Chosen One returns in Season 2]]. |
| 154 | * {{Retcon}}: He was originally meant to be a reincarnation of the Chosen One, but he later returns as a separate character from the Second Coming. |
| 155 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: |
| 156 | ** He goes on like this when the Animator ends his friends by leaving insulting comments on the animator's Facebook posts of his friends. |
| 157 | ** [[spoiler:He goes on a brief one against the Dark Lord in "The Showdown" after seeing his friends killed, gaining [[EleventhHourSuperpower 11th-Hour Superpowers]] in the process.]] |
| 158 | * SecondComing: Invoked in name, but ''not'' played straight because the Chosen One is alive and well and ''not'' the same person as TSC. |
| 159 | * SiblingYinYang: If one would consider the Animator-made stick figures siblings, then the Second Coming serves one towards the Chosen One and victim. |
| 160 | ** The Chosen One and the Second Coming are the most important of the Animator's creations who had it personal with him, but ultimately befriended their creator. But whereas the Chosen One started out evil, is mostly a brute and is superpowered, the Second Coming was always good and is a creative BadassNormal. [[spoiler:Most of the time, anyway]]. |
| 161 | ** victim: Both are the {{Badass Normal}}s of the family who use the environment around them to make weapons, and were focused on the Animator himself rather than destroying everything around them, on top of having four friends (victim's clones, the Fighting Stick Figures). [[spoiler:But while the Second Coming befriended the Animator and is a full-on hero, victim remained evil and bitter, seeking revenge almost two decades later]]. |
| 162 | * {{Sleepyhead}}: TSC has had moments where he'd have trouble sleeping due to his friends' shenanigans like playing heavy music or other times where he'd have trouble staying awake whenever his friends are building in the building competitions. |
| 163 | * StatusQuoIsGod: [[spoiler:Sure, he's got his own powers like the Chosen One and the Dark Lord, but he's one of the main characters, so how do you make sure he isn't overpowered for the rest of the series? Make him forget that he has powers, of course!]] |
| 164 | * SupportingProtagonist: Downplayed. While still TheHero, some of the ''[=AvM=] Shorts'' episodes have him take a backseat, allowing the Fighting Stick Figures to have the spotlight. |
| 165 | * SurroundedByIdiots: It's implied he sometimes feels like this. Not like it stops him from caring about the Stick Gang. |
| 166 | * TraumaInducedAmnesia: [[spoiler:Sure, he's got his own powers like the Chosen One and the Dark Lord, but unlike the former two, he retains no memory of his powers, having awakened them in a near-death experience and the death of his friends. He only learns of this when he sees Chosen One's memory of it, with his body language implying he's terrified of himself and what he can do.]] |
| 167 | * TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: It's a living drawing that initially wants his creator dead for killing his friends. When the animator revives The Second Coming's friends, TSC gets over it. |
| 168 | * TurnsRed: |
| 169 | ** When he loses his temper in ''4'', he blinks in and out with the Chosen One's appearance. [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness This never happens again]]. |
| 170 | ** In ''The Showdown'', [[spoiler:he gains super powers in order to defeat the Dark Lord, after the Dark Lord killed all his friends and beat him to a pulp. Fittingly enough, he has green particles flowing around him to show how abnormal and enraged he is.]] |
| 171 | * VibrantOrange: He's orange in color and like his friends, he's incredibly enthusiastic and exciteful about many things as well as being sociable and full of tenacity. |
| 172 | * WorldsStrongestMan: [[spoiler:His SuperMode makes him ''the'' strongest in the entire ''[=AvA=]'' series, no contest about it.]] |
| 173 | * YouCanBarelyStand: [[spoiler:Tried to fight back against the Dark Lord even after being stabbed by his blade, which made him unable to even stand up. He does this again against King Orange, though he does much better]]. |

| 178 | [[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/green_render_upgraded.png]] |
| 179 | One of the four Fighting Stick Figures from the [=SticksFight=] website, and [[TheLancer the Second Coming's closest friend]]. He's very good at building and music, ocassionally has ButtMonkey tendencies, and has a troubled relationship with Purple that is finally settled in "Note Block Universe". |
| 180 | ---- |
| 181 | * TheAce: His defining character trait as of ''vs. Minecraft''. Not only is Green a skilled artist and musician, but he's also one of the best fighters of the gang[[note]]Alan Becker even called him the best of the Fighting Stick Figures on the commentary for ''[=AvA=] 4'', which would mean Green's second only to the Second Coming himself[[/note]] and his Redstone knowledge is on par with Yellow's. Hell, he once even made a better robot than Yellow's, causing the latter stick figure to collapse in shame. He's also shown to be incredibly good at dodging. That said, there are just a few fields that he's less skilled at than his peers, which would make him closer to a JackOfAllTrades. |
| 182 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Often presented as this to the other stick figures to make it clear he's TheAce. He's then on the receiving end of this in ''[=AvM=] Shorts'' Season 2, where TSC is proven to be an even better musician then he is. |
| 183 | * ArchEnemy: Used to have this relationship with Purple, which was best showcased in Season 3 of the ''[=AvM Shorts=]'', where Green's character arc revolves around tracking down Purple after [[spoiler:he ''once again'' betrays the Stick Gang, at first being simply enraged at him, but eventually calming down and just trying to find out ''why'' is he doing all this. Upon learning of Purple's DarkAndTroubledPast, he forgives him and gives him another chance, resulting in Purple finally stopping the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor by choosing to stay on the good side]]. |
| 184 | * BestFriend: |
| 185 | ** He’s probably the closest friend to Second Coming. In ''Animator vs. Animation 4'', he is the first to greet and welcome Second Coming then runs to hug him before he disappeared as the last stick figure, and he gives him a friendly hug in the epilogue before they have a sparing match. In ''vs. Minecraft'', in addition to being the second stick figure to interact with the Minecraft block, he also personally helps to pull Second Coming away from being killed despite his own injuries and near defeat at the hands of a possessed Red. In ''vs. [=YouTube=]'', he helps Second Coming defeat [=YouTube=] itself. In the [=SkyBlock=] arc of the ''[=AvM=]'' shorts, he’s also the one who misses Second Coming the most. Right before reuniting with him in The Dolphin Kingdom video, Green makes it known to the others that he misses him as he is looking at a picture of them all. And as soon as they do get back together, he’s the first to hug Second Coming. Needless to say, while the group as a whole is close, Green is extremely close to Second Coming. |
| 186 | ** [[spoiler:Becomes this to Purple after his final HeelFaceTurn, having a close relationship with him compared to the other stick figure. Green's even seen hugging him in "Piggie Love" while celebrating the pig's marriage.]] |
| 187 | * BigDamnHeroes: In "The Ultimate Weapon", [[spoiler:he crashes into King Orange's house to stop Blue and Yellow from falling to the dark side by revealing the king is an OmnicidalManiac]]. |
| 188 | * BreakTheHaughty: Done to him in several episodes, such as "Bob Is Always There" or "The Prank". It never stays like that for long, though. |
| 189 | * ButtMonkey: Despite being TheAce, he's this in the ''An Actual Short'' series. He keeps getting beat up by Bob in his two episodes, is pecked by a paper crane in "Enchanted Origami", crashes into a tree in "Carrot on a Stick", gets slammed by Blue's cauldron in "Bottle Flip", gets ''[[ItMakesSenseInContext literally]]'' verbally assaulted by Second Coming in "Music Lesson", shot by Yellow in "Gunslinger", is roasted alive in "Pork", gets eaten by the chest "It's Alive!", [[OverlyLongGag so on and so forth]]. This has gotten to a point where Green starts training himself to avoid more punishment, as shown when he is able to [[NonchalantDodge casually avoid]] Red's [[PieInTheFace cake pranks]] and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard deflect them]] back at his friend. He even once protected himself with ''[[CrazyPrepared barrier blocks]]'' while sleeping. |
| 190 | * ConstructionIsAwesome: This is Green's expertise in Minecraft as he is one the best architects out of all his friends winning in the building competitions multiple times. |
| 191 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: Of ''vs. [=YouTube=]''. He's the one who defeats [=YouTube=] with the Second Coming's help, by uploading himself as a video so that the website can't punch him and pushing it apart from the inside. |
| 192 | * TheDogBitesBack: After being treated as Bob's punching bag for who knows how long, he throws the animation in a pit and closes it, and leaves him there for what's implied to be ''years''. |
| 193 | * HiddenDepths: A master of music surprisingly. He takes to noteblocks like a fish to water. [[spoiler:After arriving in "Note Block Universe", he eventually learns to "speak" in Note Block sounds.]] |
| 194 | * TheLancer: To the Second Coming, being both his BestFriend and the first (and sometimes only) person to back him up, such as in ''vs. [=YouTube=]''. |
| 195 | * LancerVsDragon: [[spoiler:Green's character arc in ''[=AvM=]'' Season 3 revolves around Purple, TheDragon of [[ArcVillain King Orange]], and trying to find out what his motivations are. As a result, [[ArchEnemy they have the most personal relationship]] and get into a brief fight in "Parkour"]]. |
| 196 | * LeadSingerPlaysLeadGuitar: Being the expert musician, he has managed to attain the ability to sing superbly from his adventures in the Note Block Universe as well as being the one to lead his friends as a music band and his amazing skills with a guitar. |
| 197 | * NeckLift: Does this to Bob before throwing him down a pit. |
| 198 | * NonchalantDodge: In the episode "The Prank", Green is able to casually evade the many cakes Red attempts to throw at him as well as anticipating when Red is about to prank him. |
| 199 | * TheParanoiac: Turns into this in "The Prank", as a result of Red's constant attempts to prank him. When Red takes him on a picnic, Green is constantly worried that something will pop out to prank him. |
| 200 | * RodAndReelRepurposed: While all five sticks are experienced with using the fishing rod for [[GrapplingHookPistol maneuvering]] and [[YouWillNotEvadeMe combat]], Green is notable for using it the most by a large margin to the point of it being his [[WeaponSpecialization weapon of choice]]. |
| 201 | * RunningGag: Almost every time he wins a build contest, [[SoreLoser someone tries to throw TNT at it]]. He's gotten used to it by "Build Battle". |
| 202 | * SitcomArchNemesis: In sharp contrast to his more personal situation with Purple, Green has a very comical - and arguably even more intense than Purple's - rivarly with the Second Coming's drawing, Bob, who keeps beating him up for no reason. Green eventually snaps and ''throws him down into a pit, where Bob is stuck for several years''. |
| 203 | * SuddenlyVoiced: Green learns to "speak" in Note Block sounds after being pressured by some Villagers in "Note Block Universe". Downplayed in that it's not really speech but still a form of audible communication. |
| 204 | * ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: In ''vs. Minecraft''. |
| 205 | * TookALevelInBadass: When he first debuted in ''Animator vs. Animation 4'', he was the one whose ass got kicked the most. In later videos, he's shown to be the most skilled out of the stick figures, even surprassing Yellow's engineer skills once. Even [[WordOfGod Alan Becker himself]] states that while he ''used'' to suck, he's now the second strongest of the Stick Gang, besides only the Second Coming himself. |
| 206 | [[/folder]] |

| 208 | [[folder:Blue]] |
| 209 | !![=StickFigureBlue=] |
| 210 | [[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stickfigurebluehd.png]] |
| 211 | One of the sticks from the [=SticksFight=] website. Compared to his friends, he's shown to enjoy gardening, alchemy and cooking. He also prefers using a bow over swordfighting, and is Yellow's BestFriend. [[BreadEggsMilkSquick He's obsessed with eating nether wart]]. |
| 212 | ---- |
| 213 | * HundredPercentHeroismRating: Like Yellow, he quickly becomes beloved by the Titan Ravager Village after stopping the Titan Ravager's rampage. He becomes even more popular after stopping the Raid. |
| 214 | * ADayInTheLimelight: He gets the spotlight in the promotional plugs ''Blue's New Superpower'' and ''Animation vs. Trash'' where he has the ability to cast from money. |
| 215 | * AlchemyIsMagic: |
| 216 | ** "Potions" has him discover and subsequently experiment with Minecraft's brewing mechanics. |
| 217 | ** In ''[=PvP=]'', he's shown brewing potions of invisibility to give himself and Red an edge in the fight. |
| 218 | ** Becomes a true master by "The Witch", making incredibly complex transformation potions just as well as the titular witch. |
| 219 | * AndIMustScream: In "The Witch", the titular character traps him in a white void where he's constantly taunted by his nether wart obssession while secretly helping her without even being aware of it. |
| 220 | * ArchEnemy: Downplayed, but somewhat has one in the Witch, his EvilCounterpart. They're both nether wart-connected potion users, she is the antagonist of one of the Blue-centric episodes, more or less serves as TheRival, and Blue ultimately takes on her traits after her defeat (recreating her Shapeshifting, Portal and Awakening potions, while outright becoming "A New Witch" in the ''Actual Short'' of the same name). Additionally, the Witch tried to trap Blue in a FateWorseThanDeath, which is far worse than what most of his enemies do. |
| 221 | * BadassPacifist: While Blue ''is'' willing to get his hands dirty, but it's shown several times he's willing to go the less-brutal way if he has the option to. He tries to play peacemaker between TSC and Green in "[=PvP=]", he's trying to befriend the Piglins instead of attacking him, and the In Real Time release of ''[=AvM=]'' Season 3 has him trying to discuss things with his Piglin Brute before resulting to a very brief fight where he's more focused on running away then defeating the Piglin. |
| 222 | * BestFriend: Of Yellow. While they were shown to be close since as early as Season 1 of the ''[=AvM=] Shorts'', but Season 3 ''really'' hammers it down by having them be by each other's side throughout the majority of the season. |
| 223 | * BigDamnHeroes: |
| 224 | ** In "Potions", he manages to distract the pig away from the Second Coming by challenging it to a fight. |
| 225 | ** In "The Witch", he saves his friends just as the Witch is about to kill Green with an axe. |
| 226 | ** In "The Raid", he saves the Musketeers from being killed by the Evoker. [[spoiler:He, Yellow and the Titan Ravager later proceed to make a DynamicEntry to the Nether, thus taking the staff from King Orange on accident]]. |
| 227 | ** He, Yellow, Skellington and the Ravager ''try'' to pull a moment like this in "The King" halfway through [[spoiler:King Orange's fight with Herobrine. To say it ends badly is an understatement, as the king {{No Sells}} it while the Ravager and Skellington both die]]. |
| 228 | * BizarreTasteInFood: Blue ''[[ICantBelieveItsNotHeroin really]]'' likes eating nether wart, which isn't normally edible in ''Minecraft''. He's seemingly the only person to enjoy it. |
| 229 | * BlueIsHeroic: He's blue in color and is heroic member of the main cast. |
| 230 | * CaringGardener: His first impulse with the ''Minecraft'' Game Icon is to grow a garden, and he's introduced lovingly tending his garden in "Potions". When Red's pig goes after his plants, he's visibly upset. |
| 231 | * CastFromMoney: In the videos for [=#TeamTrees and #TeamSeas=], the effects of dollar donations are represented by Blue's superpowers, which work like this. Throw a bill on empty ground, grow a tree. Throw a bill on oceanic trash, cause it to vanish. Although in reality, his superpowers happen in TSC's dreams. |
| 232 | * CharacterDevelopment: If "The Chef" is any indication, while he still enjoys nether wart, he's not as crazy about it as he was before. The only time his previous obsession comes up in that episode is when he tops his pizza with nether wart, and even then he easily resists eating it himself as it's needed for a trade. |
| 233 | * ChefOfIron: Is shown to be the best cook of the group (yes, including recipes that don't include [[RunningGag nether wart]]), and is as capable in a fight as any of his friends. |
| 234 | * ChekhovsSkill: Blue smacking himself in the face with his freshly-grown tree [[spoiler:is the key to defeating a possessed Red at the end of ''vs. Minecraft''.]] |
| 235 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: In contrast to [[TrademarkFavoriteFood his favorite food]], nether wart, Blue has a disliking to warped fungi upon his discovery of the new and improved Nether filled with new biomes. This is noted when the Piglin Child, who Blue protects, offers some warped fungi to Blue which leads him to hide it away. |
| 236 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Blue is basically a nether wart addict ever since he first tasted them in "Potions", being shown eating them very often. |
| 237 | ** Taken to its extreme in ''[=AvM=]'' Season 3, where ''the entire season'' starts with Blue losing his crap at lacking nether wart and gunning to the Nether to get some, causing a massive ButterflyEffect that results in [[spoiler:King Orange almost succeeding in destroying the entirety of ''Minecraft'']]. |
| 238 | *** The Witch and King Orange are both aware of this and use it to their advantage throughout the season: The former turns him into a piston as part of an automatic nether wart far, relying on him to automatically lunge after it and break it. His body language indicates that he doesn't even realize the ForcedTransformation at first, and not being able to eat the nether wart growing in front of him is basically [[AndIMustScream his own personal hell]]. Meanwhile, when Blue is initially hesitant to join the latter when offered, due to remembering how that went with Purple, he ''immediately'' changes his mind when he sees his offered throne is surrounded by nether wart; emphasized by the slow manner with which he puts on the crown and walks toward the throne while reaching out towards it, almost like he's hypnotized, only snapping out of it when Green breaks in to explain King Orange's true intentions. |
| 239 | ** In "Carrot on a Stick", Yellow uses Blue's obsession with nether wart to win the race, riding his back and luring him with nether wart on a stick. Later on in "Color Confusion", it's shown Blue's obsession goes so far he's drawing nether wart. |
| 240 | ** In "The Chef", when everyone is making pizza, Blue tops his with nether wart. |
| 241 | * GoodCounterpart: To the Witch, both being fighters that are skilled in both potions and swordfighting while being connected to nether wart. But while Blue is a good guy who often saves people, the Witch is a selfish villain that's out for herself. |
| 242 | * ICantBelieveItsNotHeroin: While not exactly high after it, his "addiction" to nether wart rather seems like a heroin addiction. This makes his friends unfortunately look like enablers, as while they are aware and disgusted by it, they never directly try to stop him from consuming more. |
| 243 | * ImprobableAimingSkills: In the climax of ''vs. Minecraft'', a well-timed arrow tossed at the ''Minecraft'' Game Icon saves it from getting grabbed by the Herobrine-haunted Red. |
| 244 | * LongRangeFighter: In contrast with the rest of the team, he prefers bows and crossbows in combat. Fittingly, the Second Coming equips Blue with a pair of pistols in "Wanted" during their playfight against the Animator. |
| 245 | * MasterArcher: He often wields a bow in the ''Minecraft'' episodes. Also, in ''vs. League of Legends'', he becomes the Rogue of the team, bow and all. |
| 246 | * ObsessedWithFood: His second character trait after CaringGardener: he's typically associated with food. He prepares a cake in "The Nether", the videos for [=#TeamTrees and #TeamSeas=] are about him running food stands, and in "The Piglin War" his first reaction to seeing the new Nether is trying to eat the unfamilliar flora. By the time "The Chef" happened, he's essentially become the TeamChef. And this is ignoring the nether wart. |
| 247 | * SuperSpeed: When he drinks Swiftness Potions; He caused a sonic boom in "Ultimate Minecart Race" after drinking around eight, and went into a one second-long QuickTimeEvent in "Lucky Block Staff" with a Swiftness Potion X. |
| 248 | * SuperStrength: He's under the effects of Strength II in "Arm Wrestling"... until it runs out. |
| 249 | * TeamChef: Effectively became this for the stick figures, having the most knowledge in raising crops and cooking them, and was the one that wrote the cookbook in "The Chef". |
| 250 | * PapaWolf: To the Piglin Child, as much as the tribe's leader. |
| 251 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: [[AlienKudzu Nether wart]], of all things. He discovers its taste in "Potions" and it's an important part of his character ever since. |

| 255 | !![=StickFigureYellow=] |
| 256 | [[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stickfigureyellow_3.png]] |
| 257 | One of the [=SticksFight=] fighters, Yellow is an expert at engineering and coding, being considered TheSmartGuy and GadgeteerGenius of the group. He is additionally the BestFriend of Blue. At the end of Season 3 of the ''[=AvM Shorts=]'', he is given the Command Block Staff by King Orange, thus making him very dangerous if the situation calls for it, though he prefers using the staff for harmless things like making a racetrack for his friends. |
| 258 | ---- |
| 259 | * HundredPercentHeroismRating: Like Blue, he quickly becomes beloved by the Titan Ravager Village after stopping the Titan Ravager's rampage. He becomes even more popular after stopping the Raid. |
| 260 | * AesopAmnesia: Demonstrates this in the Actual Short "It's Alive!", where he apparently forgets the events of "Command Blocks" and decides it'd be a great idea to give life to such a block. The only reason that this doesn't end in disaster is because his friends remember those events all too well and are quick to stop him. In general, Yellow's entire obssession with King Orange's command block in ''[=AvM=] Shorts'' Season 3 can be called a big case of this, as he's determined to get it while apparently not remembering what happened the last time he used one. |
| 261 | * AllDrummersAreAnimals: Plays the role of the drummer in "Note Block Battle", and alongside Red is one of the most trouble-making members of the Stick Gang. |
| 262 | * BadassTeacher: A skilled fighter that also happens to be the teacher of his Redstone Academy. |
| 263 | * BestFriend: Of Blue. While they were shown to be close since as early as Season 1 of the ''[=AvM=] Shorts'', but Season 3 ''really'' hammers it down by having them be by each other's side throughout the majority of the season. |
| 264 | * BeyondRedemption: Despite the Stick Gang being a forgiving bunch, Yellow seemingly thought Purple was beyond saving after one betrayal too much, trying to stop Green from chasing after him. [[spoiler:He changes his mind in "The King"]]. |
| 265 | * BigDamnHeroes: |
| 266 | ** In "The End", he, the Second Coming, Red [[ItMakesSenseInContext and a dozen Villagers]] save Green and Blue from falling to their deaths. |
| 267 | ** In "The Raid", he and the Titan Ravager arrive to scare away the Illagers. [[spoiler:Then the two and Blue arrive to save everyone from King Orange back in the Nether]]. |
| 268 | ** Yellow, Blue, Skellington and the Ravager ''try'' to pull this off in "The King", [[spoiler:charging at the titular character while Herobrine is busy. It ''really'' doesn't work, with the Ravager dying in the process]]. |
| 269 | ** In "Lucky Block Staff", Yellow uses a Barrier Staff to save Red from being trapped in bedrock by the Orb. |
| 270 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Gets the most focus out of all the stick figures, including the Second Coming, in ''vs. Arcade Games''. He creates a functioning arcade cabinet, is skilled in arcade gaming, defeated a rogue [[WellIntentionedExtremist Q*bert]] and convinced him to bring back his friends. |
| 271 | * DemolitionsExpert: Out of all the stick figures, he seems to be the one who handles [=TNT=] the most, even utilizing them in a grenade-like fashion. |
| 272 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: See TooCleverByHalf. He often comes up with what are seemingly clever solutions, only to inadvertently reap even worse repercussions. |
| 273 | * DumbAndDrummer: Inverted. He serves as the drummer in both the episodes "Note Blocks" and "Note Block Battle" as well as being one of the most intelligent stick figures capable of coding and making redstone contraptions. |
| 274 | * TheGadfly: The first thing he does when finding out about command blocks is troll Red with a hard-to-get cake. |
| 275 | * GadgeteerGenius: His persona--he's an absolute genius with redstone. He graduates from building a rapid-fire arrow dispenser in ''vs. Minecraft'' to a huge underground roller coaster network, he's the one who sets up the drumbeats with redstone torches in "Note Blocks", and figures out the command blocks in no time at all in "Command Blocks". |
| 276 | * HollywoodHacking: In "The Showdown", he manages to hack and access the Dark Lord's computer in his console in order to summon the Animator to aid the Chosen One against the Dark Lord. Don't ask us how he knew the password to the console, he just did. |
| 277 | * MagicStaff: [[spoiler:In "The Raid", the Villagers make Yellow a staff not unlike King Orange's in order for him to efficiently wield the Command Block that he swiped. It's not quite enough to stop King Orange, who at that point had ''two'' Game Icons. It gets destroyed in "The King", but at the end of the episode the titular King entrusts his own staff and the Command Block to Yellow. From that point on, it becomes Yellow's [[WeaponSpecialization signature weapon]], specifically with the Command Block installed]]. |
| 278 | * TheSmartGuy: Is the one to figure out how to [[spoiler:use the Dark Lord's computer to call for help from the Animator against the Dark Lord]]. He also takes to redstone builds like a duck to water in ''Minecraft''. |
| 279 | * SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Is characterized like this in the "Faces" Actual Short, due to his extensive smarts in redstone. |
| 280 | * SternTeacher: In contrast to his easygoing personality, he's much more serious in his body gestures whenever he's teaching his students redstone as the professor of the Redstone Academy, making sure his students pay attention (by slamming his pointer on his desk) and write down everything he's know. |
| 281 | * TookALevelInBadass: He was already pretty strong, even if the weakest of the Stick Gang, but he becomes ''way'' stronger when [[spoiler:he gains the Command Block Staff. He's by all means the strongest of the Stick Gang with the staff, if only because the Second Coming can't naturally access his SuperMode]]. |
| 282 | * TooCleverByHalf: One of his trademarks has him ideate and realise some of his greatest ideas, only to face hilarious fails when he progresses through them: |
| 283 | ** In "The Roller Coaster", he builds a vast, intricate, layered, amazing roller coaster underground... but fails to account for ''Minecraft'' physics, causing his friends to fall off a cliff. Oops. |
| 284 | ** In "Command Blocks", he spawns lightning to make a dramatic display for Red, smiting zombies from on high. [[spoiler:The lightning hits the command blocks, causing a massive InterfaceScrew that engulfs the computer itself--only the Second Coming's quick thinking saves the day.]] |
| 285 | ** In "Lucky Blocks", he decides to take apart a Lucky Block to see how it works, and eventually returns with a mysterious orb that spawns all the mobs and items spawned by a Lucky Block. The Orb ends up possessing him and eventually the rest of his friends. They end up getting saved by, of all things, a flying, armed, and armored pig. He at least learns his lesson, unlike Red, as proven in "Lucky Block Staff'". |
| 286 | * YouShallNotPass: Does this is in the Actual Short of the same name against the Spider Queen and Wither King. |

| 291 | [[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stickfigurered_4.png]] |
| 292 | The final of the [=SticksFight=] fighters, Red is somewhat childish and impulsive while also being the AnimalLover and a FriendToAllLivingThings. He really likes pigs and has a weird connection to Herobrine. |
| 293 | ---- |
| 294 | * AesopAmnesia: Unlike everyone else, Red doesn't care that using a Lucky Block is just asking for the Orb to appear and cause chaos. As a result, he causes all of "Lucky Block Staff", and is justifiably shamed by other stick figures. |
| 295 | * AllLovingHero: He is generally very friendly to everyone at first meeting, and is usually the most cheerful of the Stick Gang. |
| 296 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: In "Monster School". After Herobrine's teleportation makes him accidentally bump into Endie, Skellington and Spider, they begin to hate him. When the lattermost trips him for fun, ''every other student in the school'' begins bullying him for amusement. [[spoiler:This seemingly ends after the Team Race, where he befriends the three mobs and proves his strength to the rest of the students]]. |
| 297 | * AnimalLover: His niche among his friends is spawning mobs like his pet pigs. |
| 298 | * AnimalMotif: Pigs, his favorite and most iconic pets. |
| 299 | * ArchEnemy: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Despite Herobrine possessing him and trying to murder his friends in ''Animation vs. Minecraft'', when they meet again several years later, [[spoiler:Red doesn't seem to even care (despite seemingly recognizing and being unnerved by Herobrine), while Herobrine himself [[UnknownRival completely forgot]]. Several episodes later, the two team up to fight [[FinalBoss King Orange]], Red ''lets'' Herobrine possess him for a second time, and they part ways with no hard feelings, the "Rainstorm' short proving he even attends the Monster School from time to time]]. |
| 300 | * BestFriend: Generally serves as this to the Second Coming when Green's not around. |
| 301 | * BigDamnHeroes: |
| 302 | ** In "The End", he, the Second Coming, Yellow [[ItMakesSenseInContext and a dozen Villagers]] save Green and Blue from falling to their deaths. |
| 303 | ** He enforces one in "Lucky Blocks", spawning a pig to serve as the Stick Gang's LastStand against the Orb. |
| 304 | ** In "Monster School", he arrives halfway through the Team Race to save his teammates from being killed; he's later at the receiving end of one, his teammates saving him from the other students. [[spoiler:He and his team pull another moment like this later on, stopping King Orange from equipping the Game Icon onto the staff]]. |
| 305 | * BullyMagnet: He manages to gain the hatred of ''an entire school'' in "Monster School". |
| 306 | * ButtMonkey: Tends to be the butt of the joke in the main episodes, while Green is one for the ''An Actual Short'' miniseries. This is {{Exaggerated|Trope}} in "Monster School" to the point of not being funny. All of the monsters grief Red's attempts to perform all of the assignments, from Spider tripping Red trying to ambush a Steve clone, to basically being used as a stepping stool for the race by his "teammates". He even considered leaving his team for dead because they were bullying him into the ground. |
| 307 | * BerserkButton: Do not, we repeat, "do not" mess with his animals. Unless you "want" to experience his fighting skills firsthand. |
| 308 | * DemonicPossession: Gets one courtesy of [[UrbanLegendOfZelda Herobrine]]. The team has to delete the ''Minecraft'' Game Icon itself to stop him. [[spoiler:Gets possessed by Herobrine ''again'' in the climax of "The King", but at this point Herobrine is [[EnemyMine a lot less demonic]].]] |
| 309 | * DontYouDarePityMe: In "Wanted", he punches Yellow in the shoulder for trying to check up on him after their playfight with the Animator. |
| 310 | * FatalFlaw: His [[LeeroyJenkins impulsiveness]] often gets the better of him, whether it's [[spoiler:accidentally opening up the website portals, causing the Dark Lord to realise someone is in the shack, trying to fight the Dark Lord by himself and thus getting swiftly killed, falling into Purple's parkour simulation, or anything else]]. |
| 311 | * FieryRedhead: Well, fiery ''completely red figure'', but still fits: He's very impulsive and often aggressive. |
| 312 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Served as this to the Yellow Team in the beginning. It quickly changed, and they're now genuine friends. |
| 313 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: He's the animal lover of the bunch, summoning a cat during "The Building Contest", bonding with a pig during "Potions" (and being heartbroken when it dies, despite it trying to kill him), building a statue of his pet chicken with Blue in "Note Blocks", and even befriending ''[[DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu three hostile mobs]]'' in "Monster School". |
| 314 | * TheGadfly: "The Rediscovery", the first mini-episode, focuses on the team finding the ''Minecraft'' Game Icon again after it was tossed in the trash during ''vs. Minecraft''. Everyone's excited, passing out blocks and items, when Yellow pauses just before giving it to Red. The scene cuts to the team in full diamond armour, gear and weapons ready for a massive battle, and the Second Coming tentatively giving the block to Red before dashing to safety, not wanting Herobrine to strike again. [[OhCrap Red starts twitching erratically]], [[HereWeGoAgain the ominous music builds]]... and he summons a few rabbits. (He gets a well-earned [[DopeSlap Dope Slap]] from Blue with a diamond helmet for that, which promptly knocks him out since, you know, it's ''diamond''). |
| 315 | * HotBlooded: Often presented as this as part of his LeeroyJenkins tendencies. |
| 316 | * InstantKnots: In "Monster School", he uses his [[ImprovisedWeapon yellow headband]] to snatch away the enemies' weapons. |
| 317 | * KiddieKid: While the entire Stick Gang is around the ages of 10-13 according to WordOfGod, Red ticks all the boxes of the typical characterization of the youngest member of a group of heroes: He's impulsive, short-sighted, hot-blooded, more emotional, too curious for his own good (as seen in "Lucky Block Staff" where the Stick Gang didn't want to test out the titular block on Yellow's staff, remembering what happened the last time they misused the block, but Red took the staff to test it out himself, which lead to disastrous results), and inexperienced in various fields compared to the rest of his friends. In "Power Outage", he can be seen jumping on the couch like a five-year-old. Also whenever he's in danger, the rest of the Stick Gang [[TheHeart notably work extra hard to get him out of trouble]] compared to when any of the other members are in danger. |
| 318 | * TheLeader: Of the [[{{Irony}} Yellow]] Team from "Monster School". |
| 319 | * LeeroyJenkins: Tends to be the most impulsive out of the gang, which carries over to combat. When a fight breaks out, expect this guy to make the first move. |
| 320 | * MartialArtsHeadband: Gains a yellow one in "Monster School", as provided by Herobrine to denote who his teammates are in the final exam. He then ditches it while taking the opportunity to escape, but after seeing his appointed teammates take a beating, he puts it back on and goes to help them. After that, Red wears it to symbolize his bond with his new friends. He even utilizes it in combat at a couple points, such as whipping and grabbing King's staff with it. [[spoiler:At the end of "The King", he bequeaths it to the Warden.]] |
| 321 | * TheMinionMaster: Crossed with TheBeastmaster. |
| 322 | ** In ''[=PvP=]'', he summons both one large Iron Golem and an endless stream of snowball-tossing Snow Golems. |
| 323 | ** In "Ultimate Minecart Race", he uses a horse to get ahead of Blue, utilises chickens on leashes to slow the others during the freefall segment, and even rides on a bee during the final lap. |
| 324 | * NiceGuy: He loves animals and he's a good friend--notably, he's the first person to wave to the Second Coming when the team's revived in ''4''. He also waves back at the armor stand waiving at him in "Command Blocks", [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight interacting with it like it was just another stick figure]]. |
| 325 | * PieInTheFace: Cakes in this case. In the episode "The Prank", Red's method of pranking his friends involves hurling the deserts at them when they're being preoccupied with something such as cooking or testing out a redstone contraption. |
| 326 | * ThePrankster: Red has pranked his friends on a few occasions such as scaring his friends with a creeper costume or by pretending he's possessed by Herobrine. This becomes the center of a whole episode, "The Prank", where Red throws cakes at the gang's faces and [[{{Determinator}} becomes obsessed]] with doing the same to Green when he keeps avoiding a pie in the face. This has led to a point where Red has to consult Green's closest friend Purple to create the ultimate prank. |
| 327 | * RedIsHeroic: He's red in color and is a heroic member of the main cast. |
| 328 | * RedOniBlueOni: Fittingly enough, he is the Red Oni due to being energetic and impulsive. Ironically enough, the Blue Oni is ''not'' Blue, but the Second Coming, who serves as the OnlySaneMan. |
| 329 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: During his rampage in ''vs. Minecraft'', the Second Coming flashes back to Red playing with the emojis to make them feel better during ''4''. That said, he ''was'' NotHimself in that scene due to Herobrine possessing him. |
| 330 | * WhatTheHellHero: While the other stick figures agree not to merge Yellow's MagicStaff with the Lucky Block, Red does it anyway [[ItAmusedMe out of curiosity]]. When it results in the Orb coming back, he is quickly shamed by the other stick figures for it, resulting in him being put in time-out at the end of the episode. |

| 336 | !!!'''Debut:''' ''Animator vs. Animation 1'' |
| 337 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alan_6.PNG]] |
| 338 | [[caption-width-right:350:By now, [[PunnyNames not really a new guy]].]] |
| 339 | [[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see his out-of-universe appearance]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alanbecker.jpg[[/labelnote]]]] |
| 340 | The creator of his hollow-headed stick figures, the titular animator, and the owner of the computers where the series takes place. Almost always represented as a cursor, as it's his only way of interacting with the cast. Originally starting out as nothing more than a heartless man seeking to torture his creations for fun, he later redeems himself and becomes friends with the Stick Gang. |
| 341 | ---- |
| 342 | * AbusiveParents: His creations can be technically called his children, and it's implied ''at least'' the Chosen One sees him as some sort of parent figure (given how he saved Alan because he made him who he is in the first place). And before his redemption in ''4'', he was ''horrible'' to his creations, having [[spoiler:apparently]] killed victim, tortured and enslaved the Chosen One, left the Dark Lord to die and tried to kill the Second Coming. While he ultimately gets better in the future, [[spoiler:it's shown victim doesn't care and still wants revenge on his creator]]. |
| 343 | * AchillesHeel: His cursor: it's his most important tool for interacting with objects on the computer. Destroy that and Alan's options become limited to keyboard shortcuts. Both [[EnergyWeapon the Second Coming]] and [[TouchOfDeath ViraBot]] exploit this. |
| 344 | * AllLowercaseLetters: His username, noogai3, is in lowercase letters. He also types like this very often, actually reflecting the real life Alan. |
| 345 | * ArchEnemy: The Chosen One's first ever arch-enemy. The Animator has enslaved the Chosen One for four years, has made the stick figure with the sole purpose of killing him, and the Chosen One later destroyed his first computer. [[spoiler:They forgive each other in Season 2: The Chosen One decides to save him from the [=ViraBot=] after remembering Alan is the one who gave life to him, and the Animator forgives his creation after the virus is killed]]. |
| 346 | * ArcVillain: Of Season 1 of the main series, having made all the stick figures and being the antagonistic force in all four entries due to his low views of stick figures; arguably an [[BigBadEnsemble ensemble]] case with the Chosen One. After his HeelFaceTurn in ''Animator vs. Animation 4'', he becomes the BigGood. |
| 347 | * ArtAttacker: He is "the animator" after all. He uses his mouse and his keyboard to be able to draw up various kinds of functioning weapons to fight against his stick figures in his computer whether they are digitally drawn or ASCII art forms. |
| 348 | * TheArtifact: Zigzagged; While Alan is no longer antagonistic towards his creations, this does not mean the franchise's title is irrelevant; he still battles [[spoiler:the Dark Lord]] in ''Animator vs. Animation 8'' ("The Showdown") and playfights the Stick Gang in ''Animator vs. Animation 9'' ("Wanted"). However, there are some episodes where he either doesn't fight his creation, or doesn't fight ''at all'' ("The Virus" is considered ''Animator vs. Animation 5'' despite the Animator not fighting any animations ([[TheManBehindTheMan directly, at least]]) while "The Box" is considered ''Animator vs. Animation 10'' despite the Animator ''not even appearing in the episode''). |
| 349 | * AuthorAvatar: The fictionalized version of the series' creator Alan Becker. The in-universe Animator outright has the same name as his real-life self, and Noogai ''is'' Alan's username on Newgrounds in real life. |
| 350 | * TheBerserker: He is very aggressive against the Second Coming in ''4'', [=ViraBot=] in "The Virus" and [[spoiler:the Dark Lord]] in "The Showdown". Curiously, he never acts the same before or afterwards, thinking and being more creative instead of just charging into battle. |
| 351 | * BigGood: He plays a very inactive role, but he is more or less this ever since his redemption, being the owner of the computer and thus every program or video game the Stick Gang plays with being there because of him. |
| 352 | * ButtMonkey: He tends to be the ultimate victim throughout the series; everyone else shrugs off their injuries, but the things that happen to him tend to be less inconsequential. ''Animator vs. Animation 3'' ends with his computer [[UsefulNotes/BlueScreenOfDeath crashing]]. ''4'' reveals that the computer was unusable because of a fried motherboard after the Chosen One and Dark Lord thrashed it, and has him scrambling to stop burned bridges when Second Coming vandalizes his Facebook page. Malware gets installed into his computer in "The Virus", and when the other stick figures go on their adventure in Season 3, the Animator is left blankly staring at the burning wreck that the Chosen One left his animation software in. In the videos to promote [=TeamTrees and TeamSeas=], the stick figures make a bank-breakingly large donation in his name ($5100 dollars and ''$18,547,800'' dollars, respectively). Finally, several ''Actual Shorts'' have him suffer due to the Stick Gang's incompetence, whether it is him losing his family photos or being interrupted while working. |
| 353 | * CapsLock: He'll sometimes type in all uppercase letters, typically used as a way to convey being in distress, [[FreudianSlip correcting himself]], or just using emoticons. |
| 354 | * ChallengeSeeker: He created the Chosen One simply because he was looking for a challenge. |
| 355 | * CommutingOnABus: Played with. Officially, the Animator is a character exclusive to the main ''[=AvA=]'' series (aside from a few cameos in the ''vs. [x]'' one-offs), and in ''that'' series he's very much a central character who keeps appearing. However, given how the channel runs several different series at once (''Animator vs. Animation'', ''Animation vs. Minecraft'', ''Animation vs. Education'', the ''Actual Shorts'' and standalones), it can very much give the impression that - after being the central figure of the first four entries - he was suddenly DemotedToExtra and only appears once in a blue moon. |
| 356 | * CreateYourOwnVillain: All of the issues caused by the Chosen One and the Dark Lord only happened because he made them and then treated them like shit. [[spoiler:The same thing can be said about victim once he makes his return]]. |
| 357 | * EvilGod: He's not a god in his own world, but in his own computer, he's essentially like one to the stick figures he's created and the programs, as he is able to end many of the sentient programs using task manager. He becomes the GodOfGood upon redeeming himself. |
| 358 | * TheFaceless: In-universe, we only ever see his hands--drawing, typing, picking up keys and laundry or just the back of his head, but not his face. Before the events of ''4'', he was only represented by his cursor never showing his real life appearance. We do get a glimpse of his face in the ''Actual Short'' "New Wallpaper", [[DownplayedTrope but it's out of focus]]. Averted in the short "Feel Better" where it's the first ever episode we see the Animator's face in-universe. (Out of universe, Alan talked directly to the camera in several outros, though even that eventually stopped.) |
| 359 | * FatalFlaw: His LackOfEmpathy [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman towards stick figures]], which continues biting him in the ass years after he moves past this. The reason the Chosen One managed to convince the Dark Lord to turn against him is because of his apathy to the fact his creation is about to get killed. Also, in ''4'', he mercilessly ends the Second Coming's friends and tries to end him as well despite the fact they weren't doing any real damage to the computer (through this might be justified as he feared that they will destroy his computer as well when they go on a rampage. Then again, it's a SelfFulfillingProphecy, as if he didn't end his friends, the Second Coming wouldn't try to destroy his computer). The Second Coming even has to spell out that the reason he's upset is because the Animator deleted his friends. [[spoiler:All of Season 3 is happening because of how he mistreated victim, his original creation]]. |
| 360 | * GodOfGood: Initially starting off as an EvilGod, he becomes much more benevolent towards his own digital inhabitants after resurrecting the Second Coming's friends at the end of ''Animator vs. Animation 4''. Alan Becker has complete control over his computer where it is its [[CyberSpace own world]] inhabited by many sentient beings like his stick figures whom he allows them to have free autonomy in his own computer and is permissive to let them travel between his own gadgets like his phone and gaming consoles. |
| 361 | * HeelFaceTurn: While he creates stick figures just to fight for fun in the first videos, by ''4'', he's made peace with his newest stick figure adversary. |
| 362 | * ItIsDehumanizing: He calls the Second Coming an "it" when he first showcases he's capable of speech. He seems to ditch that after his redemption. |
| 363 | * LeeroyJenkins: [[spoiler:In "The Showdown", his first reaction upon seeing ''dozens of [=ViraBots=]'' is to charge at the Dark Lord with the intentions of continuing the asskicking. It doesn't end well for his cursor.]] |
| 364 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: Wasn't one at first, sadistically torturing the stick figures because he doesn't consider them a serious threat, but that changed in the Season 1 finale; the very second he recovers from the OhCrap of seeing the stick figures rummaging about, he force boots [[NoKillLikeOverkill Task Manager]]. Also, when the Second Coming tries to fight him, he uses the most direct means of disposal possible (select all + delete) when in the animation program. In Season 2, he's using very direct ways of fighting [=ViraBot=] and [[spoiler:wastes no time fighting the Dark Lord]]. Suffice to say, the Animator is determined to make sure he never has to go through the events of ''[=AvA 3=]'' again. |
| 365 | * NoSell: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. [[spoiler:The upgraded cursor created by Yellow in "The Showdown" is resistant to the Dark Lord's virus-based attacks, but even ''that'' has its limits: the combination of several of TDL's blades and every [=ViraBot=] combined manages to erase the cursor and crash the Animator Combat Tool.]] |
| 366 | * OffingTheOffspring: It's implied the Chosen One views him as his father to some extent, and by all means all of his creations could be called his sons. He tries to kill every single one, out of amusement or a bigger reason, [[spoiler:and he never succeeds]]. |
| 367 | * OhCrap: After ending the tasks of the Fighting Stick Figures, he discovers that the orange one he drew is represented by the file [=TheSecondComing.exe=], "The Chosen One's Return". We don't see his face, but his cursor slows noticeably before he tries to end the task, indicating that [[ThisIsGonnaSuck he already knows it's not going to be that easy]]. |
| 368 | * OutOfFocus: After ''Animator vs. Animation 4'', he has a much smaller role with the Stick Gang taking the spotlight. |
| 369 | * PapaWolf: The Animator's reaction to Green and Red accidentally destroying ''photos'' of his family? Changing his cursor into a hand and trying to kick their asses. Also, the stick figures can be technically counted as his kids, and he's protective of them too. |
| 370 | * RapidFireTyping: Besides [[TechnoWizard Yellow]], Alan is very skilled and quick with typing with a keyboard, as showcased in ''4'' when he designed a stronger customized cursor without ever using his mouse after the Second Coming destroys his cursor. In ''3'', he was able to create an ASCII version of a pistol in just a short timeframe of approximately 10 seconds. |
| 371 | * RageBreakingPoint: After everything the Chosen One did, up to and including destroying his computer, when the Second Coming "likes" a sad Facebook post to ruin his reputation, Alan is furious enough to slam his fist on the table and go all out on trying to destroy the Second Coming. |
| 372 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Has evolved into this by the end of ''4''. He gives the Second Coming and his friends free rein to use his computer, letting them play ''Minecraft'' and surf the web, in exchange for the Second Coming's advice on animation and not trashing everything beyond repair. |
| 373 | * SuddenlyVoiced: He starts talking and makes an appearance in ''4'' as his "appearances" before were just his cursor and typing up words. |
| 374 | * SummonBiggerFish: [[spoiler:He ''is'' the bigger fish during "The Showdown", with Yellow writing a program from the Dark Lord's console to let him contribute to the fight - represented from the stick figures' perspective as a giant cursor manifesting upon the battlefield. The Dark Lord proceeds to summon his own bigger fish, the [=ViraBot=] Army, which defeats Alan.]] |
| 375 | * StarterVillain: The main antagonist of the first four entries, until he redeems in the fourth, letting other characters be the bad guys. |
| 376 | * TerribleArtist: When he started animating, the best he could animate were stick figures with his fourth stick figure, the Second Coming, being a better artist than him. This is eventually addressed in ''4'' when the Second Coming teaches him how to draw and animate. |
| 377 | * UnexplainedRecovery: In "The Virus", the [=ViraBot=] destroys his cursor and then shreds the Start menu to prevent him from summoning a new one. When the scene cuts back to him in "The Showdown", he's somehow managed to re-summon his cursor and is dragging the wreckage into the Recycle Bin, indicating that he didn't reboot his computer. |
| 378 | * UnsportsmanlikeGloating: Implicitly and wordlessly so in "Wanted": after knocking over all the stick figures in a single blow, he flauntingly floats his cursor in a figure eight above them. |
| 379 | * TheWorfEffect: With his near-total external control of his computer, he is one of the most powerful allies the Stick Gang have in their setting. Naturally, whenever the stick figures face major threats, he either [[DeusExitMachina happens to be absent]] or it just so happens the threat has ways of removing him from the battle. |
| 380 | * YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: Inverted. Although he appears in the computer as a simple cursor, programs can see him through the monitor. |

| 388 | The second creation of the Animator, given a strong title for the purpose of giving a good fight. After his defeat, he ends up enslaved for several years, but he manages to destroy Alan's computer and escape into the Internet, where he teams up with the Dark Lord. [[HeelFaceTurn But then he starts changing his mind on things]]. |
| 389 | ---- |
| 390 | * AchillesHeel: He can take on single opponents no problem, but the few times he's been overpowered were when he was made to fight [[ZergRush several enemies at once]]. This was shown in all three seasons (The desktop icons in Season 1, the [=ViraBots=] in Season 2, and the Mercenaries in Season 3). |
| 391 | * TheAloner: [[spoiler:Following the Dark Lord's betrayal and defeat]], the Chosen One is seemingly all alone and by himself. |
| 392 | * TheAtoner: Not explicitly stated, but it's heavily implied him trying to stop the Dark Lord is an attempt to make up for [[spoiler:spending years tormenting innocents, by trying to save all of them]]. |
| 393 | * ApeShallNeverKillApe: Implied, given how his HeelRealization starts when [[spoiler:seeing the Dark Lord killing fellow stick figures]] and that his ImagineSpot, which causes him to try and stop the Dark Lord, has him [[spoiler:killing stick figures]]. Even during ''3'', the Chosen One spares the Dark Lord so they could defeat the Animator, despite him trying to kill him throughout the entire episode. Even in "Wanted", where he's running for his life from the Mercenaries, he never uses any lethal moves and tries to escape them. That said, this rule ''does'' have his limits and he will try to kill a stick figure if he deems it necessary: [[spoiler:He tries to kill the Dark Lord to stop him from causing worldwide destruction, and victim [[ColdBloodedTorture torturing]] him eventually makes the Chosen One snap, slaughter all of his clones and try to burn him alive with his fireballs]]. |
| 394 | * ArchEnemy: To two characters. |
| 395 | ** The Animator. Even before being enslaved, the Chosen One started a rampage for absolutely zero reason mere seconds after his creation. Afterwards, the Animator made a stick figure with the sole purpose of killing the Chosen One. The Chosen One repays him by destroying his computer. [[spoiler:They eventually team up to take down the bigger threat]]. |
| 396 | ** [[spoiler:The Dark Lord was created for the sole purpose of killing the Chosen One, and after the two become friends, the Chosen One eventually distances himself from the Dark Lord due to his path of chaos and destruction. When they become enemies once again, the Chosen One goes absolutely NoNonsenseNemesis on him, fully determined to stop his once-friend's rampage, it being seen more than once that the Chosen One is absolutely ''pissed'']]. |
| 397 | * ArcVillain: A VillainProtagonist example in Season 1, being the most dangerous threat on the computer, destroying it in ''3'' and indirectly causing the events of ''4''; a BigBadEnsemble example with the Animator. They both become good guys in Season 2. |
| 398 | * BadassAndChildDuo: Subverted. [[spoiler:The Chosen One seemingly tried to form one with the Second Coming in "Wanted" to battle the Mercenaries, but it quickly becomes clear the "duo" was just TCO watching as TSC curb-stomps the mercs, not realising the latter can't naturally access his superpowers. The Second Coming is forced to defend the Chosen One using other means, which ultimately fails]]. |
| 399 | * BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:He ends up captured in "Wanted", by the Mercenaries on victim's orders, so he could tell him where the Animator is. As of now, the Fighting Stick Figures are spending the whole third season trying to rescue him and TSC]]. |
| 400 | * TheBerserker: He is ''very aggressive'' when it comes to fighting and it's been made pretty clear. This means he's screwed against smarter opponents, or where there is too many of them to fight through all of them at once. |
| 401 | * BigGood: Of the main ''[=AvA=]'' series, being a character as central as the Second Coming himself, if not even ''more''. He is also usually the strongest hero around. That said, he loses the title in spin-off entries due to being completely absent from these. |
| 402 | * BigDamnHeroes: When [=ViraBot=] was about to kill everyone, he appears right at the last second to fight against it; even when he has to help Alan and save his computer. |
| 403 | * BornWinner: Purposefully done by the Animator so he could have a good fight. |
| 404 | * BroughtDownToBadass: The Chosen One can still put up a fight even if his powers are disabled and he's fighting a superhuman opponent. |
| 405 | * BulletSeed: After eating text he gets the ability to spit letters. |
| 406 | * CainAndAbel: The Chosen One and the Dark Lord are more or less brothers due to having the same "father"; they immediately try to kill each other upon meeting, and eventually go back to this after years of falling out. |
| 407 | * TheChewToy: Enslaved for four years, having to fight his own best friend, [[spoiler:being kidnapped, imprisoned and tortured]], and just generally receiving asskicking after asskicking. The Chosen One is one of the most suffering characters in the series, and unlike Red or Green, it's ''not'' played for laughs. |
| 408 | * TheChosenOne: Invoked in his name, but ''not'' played straight. He wasn't chosen by gods nor does he have any quests. His name seems to simply indicate his power level and the Animator intentionally created an over-powered stick figure to fight for fun. It took nearly twelve years of his life for him to actually do something heroic, that being [[spoiler:saving the Internet from an OmnicidalManiac and his army]]. |
| 409 | * ColdBloodedTorture: [[spoiler:At the receiving end of this in "The Box", from victim.]] |
| 410 | * ComboPlatterPowers: He's a FlyingBrick that can use FireIceLightning, and EyeBeams. |
| 411 | * ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Unlike victim, who only became hostile against the Animator in self-defence after nearly dying, the Chosen One became destructive the moment he came to life and he ends up being enslaved instead of deleted. |
| 412 | * CreateYourOwnVillain: The Chosen One is the guy who turned the Dark Lord into a website-destroying villain, so he can definitely be blamed for the Dark Lord trying to be ''exactly that'', just on a far larger scale. |
| 413 | * {{Determinator}}: In "The Box", the Chosen One gives his all against [[spoiler:victim despite the latter having a HomeFieldAdvantage that can disable the Chosen One's powers and power himself up. Even when the Chosen One is too injured to fight back, he refuses to tell victim anything about the Animator. When a device is attached to the Chosen One's head to show his memories, he tries to stop it by banging his head on the ground.]] |
| 414 | * DeusExMachina: There was no foreshadowing he would return and save everyone from [=ViraBot=], especially since he destroyed the old computer he resided in. This was eventually subverted when "The Flashback" showed not only how he survived the computer's destruction, but why he was chasing [=ViraBot=]. |
| 415 | * DistressedDude: [[spoiler:Spends all of Season 3 as one, being either chased, arrested or tortured by victim and the mercs]]. |
| 416 | * ElementalMotifs: Fire, his most common superpower. |
| 417 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: Has no issues wreaking havoc throughout the Internet alongside the Dark Lord for a while, but as the Dark Lord begins harming other stick figures and the like, the Chosen One starts having second thoughts]]. When the Dark Lord creates [=ViraBot=], the Chosen One decides he's gone too far. Even when he sees that it was shot at Alan's computer and remembers how Alan treated him, the Chosen One still decides to chase after [=ViraBot=]. It's even stated during the [[DVDCommentary reaction videos]] by the real life Alan that the Chosen One more or less went "a little too evil for me". |
| 418 | * ExtremeOmnivore: He's shown to swallow text and icons. |
| 419 | * EyeBeams: His most notable power, besides control over fire. |
| 420 | * FireIceLightning: He mainly uses fire attacks, but he has shown the ability to summon down lightning, and has occasionally launched a freezing blast from his hands, even creating a giant iceberg to obscure the mercenaries view. |
| 421 | * GoodIsNotNice: He's by all means a good guy in the present, but he's still rather impulsive, dismissive of others, and can do things against other people's wishes. |
| 422 | * TheHeavy: A VillainProtagonist example: his rampage caused a chain of events leading to the Dark Lord being created, the Animator's first computer being destroyed, [[TheHero the Second Coming]] being created, him befriending the Fighting Stick Figures and causing the Animator to pull a HeelFaceTurn. |
| 423 | * HeelFaceTurn: Ultimately redeems himself in Season 2, trying to defeat the [=ViraBot=] and the Dark Lord. |
| 424 | * AnIcePerson: Rarely shown, but he ''does'' possess ice powers. He used them to freeze Mozilla Firefox, trap the Mercenaries in ice bergs, and briefly freeze himself. |
| 425 | * IdenticalStranger: He has the exact same appearance as victim, but they are separate characters with different powers and personalities. The Animator ''did'' consider naming him victim as well before changing his mind, but he didn't change his appearance. [[spoiler:Subverted once victim returns in Season 3, having been repainted gray]]. |
| 426 | * ImprovisedWeaponUser: He can use the scroll bar as a staff, the MS Paint's paintbrush as swords and the arrows as spears. |
| 427 | * LateArrivalSpoiler: His survival would have certainly be a huge spoiler if not for the fact that one of the episodes is titled "The Chosen One's Return" and that all but ''one'' of the ''[=AvA=] Shorts'' thumbnails include him in them. The same applies to his redemption, as the thumbnails show him on the Stick Gang's side. |
| 428 | * LeeroyJenkins: The Chosen One has a tendency to ''not'' think and just fight. This finally bites him in the ass in "Wanted", [[spoiler:where he forces the Second Coming to follow him to the Outernet, refusing to accept he can't just up and use his superpowers whenever he wants, which ends very badly]]. |
| 429 | * MegatonPunch: |
| 430 | ** His final attack after using all his powers on [=ViraBot=], the one that completely destroys him. |
| 431 | ** Also does this on [[spoiler:the Dark Lord to stop him from launching his virus]]. It failed, but he did break the machine and launched [[spoiler:the Dark Lord quite far away.]] |
| 432 | * MessianicArchetype: A creation/"son" of the GodOfGood, tortured by his enemies, betrayed by his closest ally and making [[TheBusCameBack a more figurative]] resurrection to stop [[SatanicArchetype the Dark Lord]] and save the world. [[MeaningfulName And that's ignoring his name]]. |
| 433 | * MundaneUtility: While under slavery by Alan, his powers are simply used to destroy pop-ups. |
| 434 | * NonIndicativeName: For name like "The Chosen One", you'd think he would be the one chosen to be granted with powers to protect the world and help the common people, right? Well you'd be wrong, because pretty much everything he does the moment he came to life is the '''exact''' opposite of what would be expected, with him destroying everything and killing everyone in his path to the point he's teamed up with ''The Dark Lord'' and destroy their creator's computer and continue down their sinister path. That is, until, he starts to have second thought about his actions and makes a HeelFaceTurn. |
| 435 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: When he finally has [=ViraBot=] in a vulnerable position, he unleashes absolutely ''everything'' in his arsenal to take it out. Even more when he faces off against [[spoiler:the Dark Lord]] afterwards. |
| 436 | * NoSell: He can resist [=ViraBot=]'s TouchOfDeath, unlike Alan's cursor or normal stick figures. It still hurts like hell, though. |
| 437 | * NoSocialSkills: Implied, given his... very bad attempts at explaining what he means to the Second Coming in "Wanted". |
| 438 | * NotSoAboveItAll: "Wanted" showcases he's not above acting as silly as the Stick Gang themselves, such as his goofy body language once he tells TSC he needs his help, or his attempts at hyping up TSC when he's send out to fight the mercs. |
| 439 | * NotQuiteDead: He escaped off-screen during the destruction of Alan's old PC by jumping into the internet itself, showing how he returned to stop [=ViraBot=]. |
| 440 | * NotQuiteFlight: He can levitate by shooting fire from his hands. When he TurnsRed against [=ViraBot=], he does briefly fly like you'd expect him to, but he never does it again. |
| 441 | * NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: Upon his creation, he immediately proves to be a force to be reckoned with, fighting through most of the Animator's defenses and desktop icons with relative ease. The Animator's programmer friend even says that creating the Chosen One is a ''suicide'' move. That being said, the programmer was about to reveal a way to defeat the Chosen One before [[HisNameIs being cut off by AIM's death]], and the Chosen One is eventually restrained by Avast! Antivirus. Thus it's established from the beginning that the Chosen One is extremely powerful, but not ''uniquely'' or ''insurmountably'' powerful. |
| 442 | * PlayingWithFire: His most often used powers are fire-related ones. He can [[WreathedInFlames engulf himself in flame]] as a BattleAura, shoot {{Fireballs}} or streams of fire from his hands as an attack or to [[NotQuiteFlight propel himself through the air]], and [[BreathWeapon breathe fire]]. |
| 443 | * PoseOfSupplication: Gives one to [[spoiler:the Second Coming]] at the end of "The Showdown", [[spoiler:out of respect for his ability to defeat the Dark Lord, whereas he could not.]] |
| 444 | * RedOniBlueOni: Was implied to have been the stoic Blue Oni to the Dark Lord's [[PsychopathicManchild energetic]] Red Oni, from the brief glimpses of the VillainousFriendship we see in "The Flashback". |
| 445 | * SecretKeeper: Subverted. [[spoiler:He's the only one to know about the Second Coming's SuperMode, and he outright told TSC to use it, in front of his friends. Also justified, because he didn't know that was a secret and thought the orange stick could just do it whenever he could]]. |
| 446 | * ShockAndAwe: Was able to summon a thundercloud complete with lightning in ''2''. He also uses lightning to finish [=ViraBot=] off in "The Chosen One's Rwturn". |
| 447 | * SiblingYinYang: To the other of the Animator's creations, for a given value of "sibling". |
| 448 | ** victim: Both were made by the Animator with the purpose of being tormented and toyed with, but victim was meant to be unable to fight back while the Chosen One was made ''because'' the Animator was impressed by victim's performance and wanted a bigger challenge. As a result, one is a BadassNormal while the other is superpowered. [[spoiler:And while they both hated the Animator, the Chosen One moves past that hatred while victim ''does not'']]. |
| 449 | ** The Dark Lord: Both are all-powerful beings made by the Animator that ran on ForTheEvulz and hatred for their creator, but while the Chosen One was simply ''chaotic'' and proved himself to have lines he won't cross, the Dark Lord had nothing holding him back. |
| 450 | ** The Second Coming: They are the most important of the Animator's creations who had it personal with him, but ultimately befriended their creator. But whereas the Chosen One started out evil, is mostly a brute and is superpowered, the Second Coming was always good and is a creative BadassNormal. [[spoiler:Most of the time, anyway]]. |
| 451 | * SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum: Immediately after being created he sets about carving a path of destruction across his creator's software, working his way up to threatening the existence of the system itself, seemingly not caring that he himself is in the system and would go down with it. The second time it's {{Subverted|Trope}} as it's later revealed he had the idea to escape through the internet connection -- but the first time he gives no indication of stopping or escaping even as he's about to stomp on the shutdown. |
| 452 | * SuperMode: Yes, even someone as strong as ''the Chosen One'' can have a stronger form. After the first [=ViraBot=] goes OneWingedAngel, he ''loses his shit'' and provides a massive CurbStompBattle: He first hits the computer with a beam of yellow light that removes the virus' influence over the PC, then proceeds to kick its ass with teleportation, fire, lightning and laser beams, before making a MegatonPunch that kills it. |
| 453 | * ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: The way he finishes off the first [=ViraBot=]. He sucks him into tornado before blasting him with lightning, shooting him with massive laser beams and huge jets of fire before finishing it with a charged punch. |
| 454 | * VagueAge: The Stick Gang and Purple are apparently supposed to be in their teens, while King Orange is clearly an adult. However, we have no idea what age the Chosen One could qualify is; he's likely supposed to be older than the Stick Gang, but that's all we can suspect. |
| 455 | * VillainousFriendship: Had one with the Dark Lord for a solid seven years, until his friend started getting [[EvenEvilHasStandards too evil for his liking]], after which they distanced themselves until finally turning against eachother when the [=ViraBots=] were created. |
| 456 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: He fell out with the Dark Lord when he realized that he is ''[[OmnicidalManiac absolutely demented]].'' When he discovers him making the [=ViraBot=], he is quick to try and stop him. |
| 457 | * WhatYouAreInTheDark: [[spoiler:He failed to stop the Dark Lord from launching [=ViraBot=], and was about to go after it when he noticed the destination: ALANSPC]]. He could have let [=ViraBot=] destroy the computer, not only as revenge against the Animator who created him to be tormented and locked him up as a pop-up blocker, but as karma for [[spoiler:creating the Dark Lord]] in the first place, and Alan would be none the wiser. The Chosen One decided to go after it anyways. |
| 458 | * TheWorfEffect: A ''really bad'' case of this. |
| 459 | ** After spending the entirety of ''2'' a OneManArmy, he is effortlessly defeated by Avast! Antivirus. |
| 460 | ** Downplayed throughout '''3'', but still evidently there, as he briefly gets his ass kicked by ''Clippy'' before struggling with normal desktop icons. |
| 461 | ** In "The Showdown", he fights the Dark Lord evenly in prolonged combat, but is eventually overwhelmed by [[spoiler:the Dark Lord's [=ViraBot=] army, leaving the Second Coming as the final hope of defeating the Dark Lord. And even before that, he was quite clearly getting worfed thanks to the Dark Lord's wristbands.]]. |
| 462 | ** Receives an off-screen asskicking that results in him running away from the Mercenaries at the beginning of "Wanted". |
| 463 | * WorfHadTheFlu: In "The Box", his losing fight and subsequent interrogation from [[spoiler:victim]] was only possible due to the fact that [[spoiler:he was confined in the Box, causing his powers to be seized and sometimes backfire against him. Not to mention, victim was also heavily buffed while the Chosen One was fresh off his fight with the Mercenaries while also being weakened himself, making the whole ordeal a massive disadvantage to him]]. |
| 464 | * WorldsStrongestMan: As every character above the Chosen One in power needs some form of power boost (The Dark Lord's wristbands, King Orange's staff or [[spoiler:the Second Coming's {{Eleventh Hour Superpower}}s]]) or outright cheating (The Mercs taking him on 4v1 and [[spoiler:victim using the Box to boost himself and nerf TCO]]) to defeat him, when it comes to their "base" forms, the Chosen One is still the series' strongest stick figure. |
