Had to make an edit to the 5 Hunter Finale Rematch, in order to explain the difference between the Crystal PVP action Bad made, and Dream using the End Crystal as a trap way back in the 3 hunters finale.


* During the grand finale, Dream ends up killing all of the Hunters repeatedly, seeming set to pull off another win. However, due to a [[FailedASpotCheck misassumption that he didn't destroy the Ender Crystal the Hunters hid in obsidian]], he ends up wasting a good amount of time... Giving the Hunters much more time to regroup and keep attacking him, culminating in a finisher with Bad netting the Hunters a win through an action never-before seen in Minecraft Manhunt: '''Crystal [=PvP=]'''. [[labelnote:For Reference...]]Crystal [=PvP=] is a risky tactic, infamous for massive amounts of use in the anarchy server [=2b2t=], where players use End Crystal explosions to damage their opponents, shredding through armor and HP with power equal to a charged Creeper explosion. And because Dream was wearing mostly gold and iron armor, it was a full-blown OneHitKill.[[/labelnote]]
** The buildup to the moment is nothing to scoff at, as Dream is prepared to slaughter Bad as he hunts after him, the other Hunters trying to chase him... Only for, in a matter of under a second or two, Bad to turn around, and place down both an obsidian block and Ender Crystal, detonating it and annihilating Dream before he can even realize what Bad's about to do.

* While being hunted underground, Dream makes a grand escape move. He blows two holes in the bedrock, and when the hunters attempt to attack him, he drops into the Void, and immediately uses an Ender Pearl to get out through the other end before he died.

* One of Dream's most ingenious uses of ConfusionFu yet; he uses a soundboard with recordings of the voices of the Hunters from previous matches, and plays them over and over, not only distracting the hunters, but also masking the sounds of him mining and placing blocks. Even long after the Hunters realize they've been duped, it takes a while for them to catch up with Dream.

!! vs 5 Hunters Finale Rematch
* The match ends up escalating ''much'' faster than usual, as Dream and the others end up finding a Ruined Portal, causing the fight to take to the Nether in less than ''two minutes'', with both sides quickly upgrading at a Bastion nearby, and causing the Manhunt to become a fast paced match with both sides barely having any time to prepare any fancy traps as they rapidly advance through preparations to get to the End.
* In the heat of the moment, the Hunters end up knocking Dream right into a lava lake as he sinks to the bottom, with victory seemingly all but being assured for the Hunters within five minutes... Only for Dream to use a door to give himself a safe space, and a Golden Apple to counter the burn damage he took, surviving with only one health and escaping under the lava lake, making his way back into the Bastion to continue preparing to fight, and evading the Hunters at every turn.
* At one point during a near endless escape from the Hunters, after making some distance between them, Dream confidently ends up ''[[ProductPlacement reading an advertisement]]'' [[CasualDangerDialogue in the middle of the chase.]]

* His video "Minecraft Death Shuffle", where he and George had to compete to die in a designated way in five minutes. Two of the ways Dream was told to die in were ''entity cramming'' and '''''[[ImpossibleTask falling into the Void]]'''''[[note]]In normal Minecraft, the only way to die to the Void is by going to the End dimension, and as Dream, a world-class speedrunner can attest, it's impossible to go to the End in five minutes[[/note]], and wouldn't you know it--Dream ''completed both of those tasks''. In ''five minutes each''. He built a mechanism with a pit, a dispenser and many, ''many'' boats for the entity cramming one, and exploited a glitch to ''break bedrock'' to die in the Void. And better yet? He ''wins'' the challenge overall.
** George didn't do badly either. Though he got relatively easy ways to die in the first several rounds, he was eventually ''also'' assigned to die by entity cramming and the Void... and he proceeded to ''track down where Dream completed his previous death-tasks'' with some [[AwesomenessByAnalysis logical deduction]] and a hefty amount of luck, and succeeding in dying the same ways, though not without Dream trying to sabotage him for the entity cramming one. Guess the months of Manhunts really paid off... oh, and the reason George lost the challenge in the first place was because he was tasked with dying to a pillager, when the nearest pillager outpost was thousands of blocks away from spawn.

** The hunters wait outside Dream's Nether portal and proceed to attack Dream with lava once he enters, causing Dream to use his water--only for the hunters to react by taking the water and knocking Dream off the high tower he built the portal on. With no water, he's doomed to die from fall damage--and then, in a split second (and we do mean a ''split'' second), Dream sees a horse and lands on it in a tactic people have called "MLG Horse" as a result of the video.
** Dream's final tactic in that video also counts--after gunning down George and Sapnap with arrows, Bad lasts far longer and manages to break all of Dream's armor but his boots. Forced onto the defensive, Dream proceeds to leap into the void and use an Ender Pearl to teleport behind Bad, knocking him off to his death.
*** Notable in that this tactic was what Dream planned to do in the 2 Hunters video, but he had no Ender Pearls and was doomed to die when cornered- and then George's infamous blunder occurred, creating the iconic scene we know and love.

* The big move that ends the opening chase and resource scramble is Dream towering up. He tries to build a bridge to reach water and jump down, but the Hunters quickly move to cover up all the bodies of water. There's a tiny uncovered space left of a huge watery cave, and Dream jumps for it. While he's in the air, Sapnap plants and grows a sapling, covering it with leaves. Falling at speed, Dream responds by switching to his shears and breaking through the leaves to land in the water unharmed.
* Before entering the Nether, Dream makes some creative use of the new moss blocks. He builds a 1 block thick section of cave with lava underneath, and a few moss in the middle. He lures the Hunters towards it, and while they leap after him, he turns, uses bone meal to convert surrounding earth to more moss, and mines a hole to the lava instantaneously with a hoe. Four of the five Hunters land in it, sealing their fate.
* More boat shenanigans: Dream uses a boat to snap to safety across a gap just barely too wide for him to jump.
* Dream can't get out of the Nether, since they're guarding his portal out. They can send three out to hunt him while leaving two to stand guard, so there's no obvious way to outmaneuver them. Dream's solution? Use Fire Resistance, dump a ton of lava on the portal from above, and swim through while they can't.
* The ultimate juke play: using a tube of water, a trap door, and a daylight detector, Dream stores a thrown Ender Pearl right next to the Stronghold, then just leaves. He leads the Hunters on a wild goose chase for multiple minutes until they think they have him cornered, then the detector trips, the trap door closes on the floating Pearl, and Dream snaps right back while the Hunters are miles away and have no idea what just happened.
* With all the time he just gained, Dream goes to the End, towers into the stratosphere and places a column of water. Sam sees this and immediately panics, yelling that if the Dragon perches then it'll be trapped in the water and Dream will easily kill it. Despite their efforts to stop him, Dream proceeds to do just that.

** Ant also qualifies for this trope. Before and in his debut Manhunts, he had little presence and tended to fade into the background. He seems aware of that, however, and nowadays he outright exploits it in order to gather much-needed resources for the hunters while simultaneously allowing them to continue the chase against Dream without losing much-needed firepower. Ant also exploits his lack of fighting skill to lure Dream into a false sense of security—he won the "4 Hunters Finale Rematch" for his allies after evading a death trap and being chased into a desert temple, only to unleash a fatal harming potion on Dream with no warning at all. He's not quite on the level of Bad or Sapnap in terms of experience, but he's getting there.

* The very beginning of the match has all the players spawn at the top of a giant mountain (the same biome as the 4 Hunters Finale). The way Dream escapes is by landing in a basin of water ''one block wide'' after falling from the very top. After the match, Dream tries the same thing again, and finds that he can't actually sprint-jump far enough to make it to the water at all -- he was boosted by a punch from one of the Hunters.
* In the Nether, Dream's floating boat trick is about to fail him and dump him into lava... but then a Ghast flies in front of him. He ''lands on it in mid-air'', jumping off to just barely make it to the other side. Dream declares it the single coolest trick he's ever done.
* Dream opens the End Portal from ''underneath'' the frame, blindsiding the Hunters who were on high alert.
* Once in the End, Dream's strategy to overcome the Hunters and the Dragon... [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere is to ignore both and leave]]. Using a small piston machine, Dream carries himself off the central island entirely, searching for other structures in the End outskirts to plunder all the overpowered loot inside. He gets ''full enchanted diamond armor and an elytra'', more than enough to take on the Hunters. The first thing he does is zoom up to George and Sapnap, standing on a built pier off of the island, and knock them both into the void before they even realize he's there (they didn't know he already had fireworks to fly and were expecting him to come back on his slow-moving pistons), instantly eliminating two sets of equipment from the fight. He then spends half the fight with the Ender Dragon in the air, zooming around and taking potshots with the Hunters unable to do anything about it.

*The various Dream-related animations and the creators behind them all deserve a mention for the videos being well-made and entertaining. There's a reason the Dream Team themselves leave comments of approval.
*The "5 Hunters" video attracted some scrutiny from people who believed that Dream's insanely fast MLG boat clutch (during which he crafted the boat in midair within less than a second) was ''too'' fast to be humanly possible, and had to be staged. However, one dedicated person [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd_horpvpto made a video]] proving that the clutch was actually possible within the timespan Dream accomplishes it in, and he not only analyzes the clutch but performs it himself (with arguably an even ''stricter'' time window, as he falls from less of a height and has less lag, meaning he has less time within the crafting table to make the boat). The video ended up on trending and caught the attention of Dream himself, who praised the creator for managing to make such a high-quality video in such a short time (barely a ''day'' after the "5 Hunters" video released).
--->'''Dream:''' [[ApprovalOfGod this was an amazingly well done video, and in such a short time, earned a sub :)]]
**The video also retroactively makes Dream's clutch even more amazing, as it shows just how difficult the clutch was to accomplish.

Dream doesn't just MLG with a water bucket or a boat. He aims himself towards a nearby tower (presumably built by one of the hunters to try and follow him), uses the crafting table at the top to ''craft a boat in midair,'' '''''and lands in it before he hits the ground'''''. This all happened in maybe ''three seconds''.
*With one bastion, Dream goes from outmatched by the hunters to outmatching them instead, gaining multiple diamond armor pieces and a single netherite ingot to upgrade his leggings--the first time in Manhunt history either side has used netherite.
*Dream employs a new variant of ConfusionFu. Much like the "3 Hunters Finale Rematch" video where he mimicked Bad's skin, here he has an extra layer added to his skin that makes him identical to Ant (Dream also uses several pieces of iron armor to mimic Ant's armor perfectly). He then positions himself at the Nether portal to act as if he's leaving the Nether with the other hunters. By the time the hunters realize they've been had, they've already dug underground to find Dream via the compass--and Dream has a handy amount of TNT with their names on it.
*The hunters guard the End portal to keep Dream from entering it, much like last Manhunt. Dream's strategy? [[RefugeInAudacity Just walk in there, place the last Eye, and enter]]. It's so CrazyEnoughToWork that it loops back around to being amazing.
*The hunters use the End Crystal strategy that was used in the first "4 Hunters" video, but for a different purpose--namely, as Dream gets so close to killing the dragon, the End Crystals activate, ''reviving the dragon''. While this would still count as a win for Dream, however, [[GameBreakingBug the server glitched to where the dragon didn't die and instead returned to full health (but with the same animation as reviving the dragon)]]--which wouldn't be so bad if Dream didn't get the achievement proving he'd killed the dragon, meaning he still hadn't won yet. And in Dream's shock, he's quickly cut down by George, securing the hunters the first win in the 5 Hunters saga[[note]]The group discussed the validity of the win in the bonus video, considering that it ''was'' due to a glitch. The hunters were given the match by the fact that [[InSpiteOfANail Dream was likely to have died even if the glitch didn't occur]], as the Crystals would have healed the dragon regardless[[/note]].
**The fact that ''[[ButtMonkey George]]'' gets the killing blow. It's the first time since the 1v1 Manhunts where he's successfully killed Dream. After so many Manhunts of [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain being utterly humiliated]], George [[NotSoHarmlessVillain gets to show why]] ''[[NotSoHarmlessVillain he]]'' [[NotSoHarmlessVillain was the first hunter]].
**Sam also gets some serious credit. Using the crystals to revive the dragon was ''his'' idea--he just didn't think it'd work as well as it did, considering that the strategy normally couldn't be used without Dream killing the dragon first anyways. Within a single Manhunt, Sam proves that Dream chose wisely picking him as the fifth hunter.

* Dream's channel's growth. He was a standard Minecraft YouTuber before 2020, with a decent fanbase and some viral hits but nothing too big. He's proceeded to get '''''over 14 million subs in a year''''', regularly hits #1 trending on the gaming tab, gets millions of views on his videos mere hours after release, and the number of his videos actually under 1 million views can be counted on one hand (for added awesome, every Manhunt video since "Minecraft Speedrunner VS 2 Hunters" (not counting special videos like the livestreamed Manhunt or the [=IlluminaHD=] Manhunt) has managed to break over ''20 million views''--and all of them since "3 People Control 1 Player" have soared past 5 million views). All because one day he decided to make a video where his friend tried to kill him in Minecraft.

** Ant also qualifies for this trope. Before and in his debut Manhunts, he had little presence and tended to fade into the background. He seems aware of that, however, and nowadays he outright exploits it in order to gather much-needed resources for the hunters while simultaneously allowing them to continue the chase against Dream without losing much-needed firepower. Ant also exploits his lack of fighting skill to lure Dream into a false sense of security—he won the "4 Hunters Finale Rematch" for his allies after evading a death trap and being chased into a desert temple, only to unleash a fatal harming potion on Dream with no warning at all. He's not quite on the level of Bad or Sapnap in terms of experience, but he's getting there.
