* Similar to the ''vs. Youtube'' moment, near the end of, Purple's worm-creature is destroying everyone else's main crystal while everyone sans Second Coming is lying nearby in defeat. Green struggles to stand at one point but fails, and when Red tries to continue to fight back, Green stops him; subtitles or no, it's clear they all think it's a lost battle.

[[folder:Ep 11: [=SkyBlock=]]]

* The Second Coming begins to miss the others after he opts out of their decision to go through one of the portals shown at the end of ''The End''. Made worse when he tries to go help them and is cut off by a Ghast deactivating the portal with a fireball, forcing the Second Coming to jump into a different portal to save himself on top of trapping the other stick figures in the [=SkyBlock=] universe, separating them indefinitely.

** Even worse when you remember that Green was the one that disagreed with the Second Coming about whether or not to go through the portals at the beginning of "[=SkyBlock=]". While that last meeting was amicable enough that we can likely assume there was no PartingWordsRegret, it's easy to imagine that Green is ''really'' regretting not listening to the Second Coming and backing out of the adventure.

* Green and Blue reacting to Orange and Purple successfuly gaining the Master Block, even if we barely get to see it. While Red and Yellow stare in shock, it's made blatantly clear that Green and Blue crossed the DespairEventHorizon for the umpteenth time this season. Green just gives up and looks at the floor of his cell in despair, while Blue seeems to be ''crying''.

* One would think that [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder Purple]] getting a taste of his own medicine would be [[CatharsisFactor cathartic]] and [[KickTheSonOfABitch satisfying]], yes? Well, no. Purple's reaction towards [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Orange abandoning him]] is a very quick, yet completely visible DespairEventHorizon. While he overcomes it literally just a second or two later in favour of [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere getting out of dodge]], you can see the betrayal he felt. This is even worse when you realise [[UndyingLoyalty Orange is the only person Purple showed true loyalty to]]. Also not helping is the fact that it takes ''two'' betrayals for it to sink in; the first time Orange smacks Purple aside, Purple seems to be in denial of that fact and still sics the Piglin Brute army on the other sticks for Orange's sake.

* Seeing the four friends Second Coming has [[ForcedToWatch die in front of him]], then getting beat up himself. The fact that DeathIsCheap at the end of the video doesn't hamper this in the slightest. Its worse than their "death" in "AVA IV" for two reasons: the Second Coming has had more time to get attached to them, and their deaths are much more drawn-out than they were before (at first, they were just poofed away; here they're slowly dissolved).

* In ''The Dolphin Kingdom'', after barely surviving a Drowned attack, Green actually ''[[HeroicBSOD breaks down crying]]'', thinking that they will never find the Second Coming again. Again, it's mitigated, since it's revealed that the Second Coming is literally [[DramaticIrony only a few blocks away from them]]. In addition, Alan decided to be a TrollingCreator and make it look like the scene was gonna end with them still separated like that. (Fortunately, it continues long enough for them to reunite.

* The Second Coming has a GoodTimesMontage of all the fun times he had with his friends while Possessed!Red's obsidian mech beats him to within an inch of his life.

* After a Creeper blew their Mob Grinder, which allowed the other monsters to invade and take over their paradise. The Fighting Stick Figures are forced to huddle to each for just some warmth.

* As Blue sinks into the lava, all he can do is hold the Piglin child as high as possible to give them the best chance of being saved as he starts to go under.

* When the [[https://www.youtube.com/user/hyunsdojo Hyun's Dojo community]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BaAPDK0SzU mourned the deaths of community members Zaix and AngelXMikey]], two of their well-loved animators who [[AuthorExistenceFailure passed away in real life]], Alan Becker was one of the people who joined the [[InMemoriam memorial collab]]. At the 1:06 mark, the Second Coming and his friends walk up to the gravestone, put down flowers and bow solemnly before sitting down with the other animators. While the Second Coming and his friends are known for their epic adventures within the series, this is the first time where they are not only completely saddened, but they are also mourning RealLife deaths.

* The Fighting Stick Figures reacting to Orange and Purple successfuly gaining the Master Block. While we don't see it for very long, it's made blatantly clear that they've crossed the DespairEventHorizon for the umpteenth time this season. Blue in particular appears to be crying.

* It is rather sad to know that all of Blue's work to get more Nehter Wart was AllForNothing considering the amount of trouble and danger it took for him to get there.

* In ''vs. Youtube'', while the Youtube face is gloating after undoing the Second Coming's near victory with a refresh, the Second Coming is huddled on the ground holding his face in his hands, clearly at a loss.

[[WMG:Within the series]]
* That one moment in 4 where Second Coming desperately tries to save his friends from having their tasks ended, giving Green a hug before he too vanishes.

* In "Animation vs. Minecraft", when The Second Coming has a GoodTimesMontage of all the fun times he had with his friends while Possessed!Red's obsidian mech beats him to within an inch of his life.
* When Red is freed from his DemonicPossession in ''vs. Minecraft'', [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he's horrified at what he almost did to his friends]]. When the others initially approach him for their GroupHug, he flinches as if he thinks they're going to beat him up in retaliation.

* Everyone mourning Green's (apparent) death in ''[=PvP=]'', [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone especially Orange.]] When Green respawns from the original "Stick Figures Fight" window, he finds everyone building a memorial shrine for him and laying down flowers.
* At the climax of ''The Virus'', the titular [=ViraBot=] eats the Animator's mouse cursor. He tries to retrieve a new one like he did in ''4'', only for [=ViraBot=] to destroy the start menu. He's already seen that [=ViraBot=] can dissolve anything with a single bite. At that point he's completely powerless to protect his friends against this monstrosity, and it certainly looked like [=ViraBot=] was about to kill The Second Coming before The Chosen One entered the scene.
* In "The End", when faced with a FriendOrIdolDecision, Purple chooses to go for the Dragon Egg rather than save Blue and Green about to fall into the void. As they watch the "Levitation" effect timer tick down, the two of them [[EtTuBrute toss their crowns into the void]] and embrace in one last hug.
* At the end of ''The Chosen One's Return'', the Chosen One succeeds in defeating the Virus, but he opens up a portal to leave, either because he has to return to wherever he had been roaming before his return, or he still cannot help but feel as if staying in the Animator's computer takes away his freedom due to past events. Also, the state of the computer is devastatingly ruined.
* Similar to the ''vs. Youtube'' moment, near the end of ''vs. League of Legends'', Purple's worm-creature is destroying everyone else's main crystal while everyone sans Second Coming is lying nearby in defeat. Green struggles to stand at one point but fails, and when Red tries to continue to fight back, Green stops him; subtitles or no, it's clear they all think it's a lost battle.
* In ''[=SkyBlock=]'', The Second Coming begins to miss the others after he opts out of their decision to go through one of the portals shown at the end of ''The End''. Made worse when he tries to go help them and is cut off by a Ghast deactivating the portal with a fireball, forcing the Second Coming to jump into a different portal to save himself on top of trapping the other stick figures in the [=SkyBlock=] universe, separating them indefinitely.
** Prior to that, the scene with everyone huddled cold and starving around a campfire is just heartwrenching.

* In ''The Showdown'', seeing the four friends Second Coming has [[ForcedToWatch die in front of him]], then getting beat up himself. The fact that DeathIsCheap at the end of the video doesn't hamper this in the slightest.
