Story #5 was more of an internal struggle than a proper fight. It had a fight scene that was all in his head, but the other “fight” was just him shooting green eyed cowboy him.
If any of you wish for context and analysis for this fight: Oxob was once a stuntman, who lost his hands when the helicopter he intended to jump from crashed. In hospital some shady government dbags offered to give him advanced prosthetics if he paid. Being wealthy from his many stunting ventures he agreed, however he did not realise that they were also intending to make him into a super soldier. He did not like this and escaped. The operation had left him flat broke, so he turned to fighting in RHG tournaments and discovered that he had a true love for fighting. However in his fight with a gladiator named Xenrath, a large boulder was about to crush his opponent. He pushed him out of the way but his legs were severely broken as the debris fell on him, resulting in him using advanced bracers to help him walk. He continued fighting, but his extensive injuries had taken away his enthusiasm for combat. This worsened in his battle against Jade, who defeated him with relative ease. In this video we can see that his insecurities and loss as Jade’s hands have made him develop some form a pyrophobia and have made him rely more on his enhancements. From his perspective, Jade is also prideful in her natural ability (seen from the hallucinations smirk), whilst he is ashamed of having nothing but his enhancements, which compensate for his crippled body. On the other hand GG, an impoverished artist/fighter, is suffering from his encounter with Bog in Story #4. In this, GG was beaten within an inch of his life and could only defeat the physically impervious Bog by cutting his palms and beating him within his mind space. However Bog’s influence is still clearly seen in this video, with the scars preventing him from putting on all of his armour and poisoning his brain via a form of PTSD. In my opinion the resolution of these problems is what makes this fight so great. At the start Oxob is critical of GG for fussing over the cuts on his hands, pointing out his much more prominent scars, essentially telling him to stop acting like a big child. He offers him a bandage to help him cover up the wound and the past it carries. GG doesn’t want this as he cannot ignore what happened and wishes to move forward, and so he swats away the bandage accidentally burning it. Seeing GG’s toxic pride, Oxob burns his cape and they begin to fight. Oxob’s lightning attacks cannot hurt GG’s body as his armour grounds him, but his hands are unprotected, so Oxob focuses his attacks on his weak point. GG realises that he must put on his gauntlets to have a chance, but doing so will remind him of his confrontation with Bog. GG attempts to overload Oxob with his Ben Franklin trap, which nearly shatters his bracers and diminishes his prosthetics charge, causing the red lightning (a symbol of his reliance on his enhancements). GG decides he cannot avoid his past anymore, accepting the pain it caused him both figuratively and literally, when he puts on his gauntlets. Doing so reopens the cuts on his hands, but his refusal to back down from the pain visibly purges the remnants of Bog’s influence from his mind. He stands anew. Oxob’s attack is again grounded when GG catches it. The heat from the lightning causes the ground to catch fire, which rises behind GG. As he is tossed to the ground Oxob is brought back to his defeat at Jade’s hands and his pyrophobia sparks up seeing the flames at GG’s feet. He expects to see the same prideful smirk on GG’s face until he notices the blood pouring from the wounds on his hands. Seeing GG fight despite the massive amount of pain he is in, inspires him. He stands up, and with each step, the bracers slowly fall apart, showing how he is relying on his own strength for the first time in a long while. The red lightning diminishes and with great agony he charges himself up, ready to fight once more. As he rediscovers his passion for fighting without worrying about his pride. He too stands anew. They fight without hesitation, as they have both overcome their demons.
The one thing I still don't get is who is that cowboy and why is bog only targeting GG (At the ending you can see the cowboy looking at the stars and bog trying to get in GG again but he squashed his ass lmao)
My new favorite animation right here! The way they both concered their pain and their past was so well done! You're one of the few animators who can make me feel emotional for the characters. And your lightning effects are off the chain! This has inspired me to new levels and I'll really try to push myself with my next project! I'M SO GLAD YOU PICKED OXOB FOR THIS!
@@Speedytaco125He won't, but in a drawing for story X, the next story (story 9 is alr made, was gg's proposal animation), it featured YUPIA killing GG
On top of being amazingly animated and being an emotional story without using any voices or dialogue, Gildedguy is subtly showing us his taste in music and how very varied it is without having us visit his playlist.
Wonder what's the next story about and I had a few ideas. One of them is Gildedguys Speed paint Arzon. It shows Gildedguy looking at a poster that has a green stickfigure with a cape in a coliseum.
@@archeishere1 a green stickman with a cape? There is a lot of green stickmen with a cape... but if the colliseum represents rhg then... Tentionmaru?? Haah~ I can only hope...
Jade: I have fire. Bog: I can’t die. Oxob: I have prothstetics that let me control lightning. GildedGuy: I have a pen, armor, ptsd, and a stretchy sword oh and another sentient being inside of me who’s a cowboy.
This has to be on the best experiences in my life. I literally cried and couldn't even fathom what PEAK I was experiencing. I'm blessed to have watched this 🙏🏿
The thing we love about Gildedguy, is that the stories can all be interpreted as something connected to animating. Story 1: First real story, testing the waters and making your first animation. Short, sweet, but lots of dedication nonetheless. Story 2: A change and the development of your own real style. In this case, the beginning of a theme of music synced animations with breathtaking colors. Story 3: Where real challenges begin to arise, in realizing even with immense dedication and time, you need money to keep doing what you love. However, you have to realize that you can’t sell out, or blatantly ask. You’ll make it through, just keep making amazing stuff and the rest will follow. Story 4: The real fear, when the stuff you make isn’t being viewed enough. That lingering fear of nobody watching what you create, which is practically a life line for an animator. The fear(bog) could never be beaten, only pushed down and conquered by the animators own resolve. Story 5: With the creations you make, there are always other animators. Those who make more, get more views, fans, sponsorships. In this the green eyed cowboy was simply that, green with envy. The jealously of wanting what others have. It’s just the desire of reaching that goal or stardom(in the animation world). Story 6: A story of conquering past fears. Even when one seemingly beats both fear and jealousy, it’s never truly gone. Such things leave scars. Through this, the fight wasn’t just a fight to win, it was one to heal. Creating a beautiful animation that brings you back to the reason you picked up the pen or pencil in the first place, to feel happy and revel in the brilliance of your work to which you can share with others. Thx gildedguy for everything you’ve done.
Story 1 was actually a challenge video I believe. I think he only had 24 hours to animate it. Gilded guy was already a well established animator in the community before the gilded guy animations
This was quite the battle: Two wounded and traumatised warriors duking it out. Not to mention the animation was fantastic. Another animation well done Gildedguy
not only where they wounded but they still went all out at the end no fear holding them back it was amazing to see what the story has come to the growth of each of them.
I do think it is much better than having dialogue. Can you imagine if it had dialogue? just a bunch of people swearing at each other and calling them names. looking at you hollywood...
Man I love the fact that bog still has this much of a physiological impact on gilded . It makes the fight that they had more of a battle against themselves and overcoming a tramautising experience. It truly seems like the fight left them both better , if not slightly injured as well. This was a amazingly well written fight.
Rausan Rau Not really, the Bog blob during the post credit-scene is actually him, or a part of him per say. The Bog in all of the sword reflections are just figments of Gildedguy’s imagination, or rather his trauma.
Its even better than that, GildedGuy just doesn't care about Bog anymore, when he saw Bog in the sword, I took it as a "Hey weirdo." Kinda moment. It doesn't matter if Bog's lingering effects on GildedGuy are purely subconscious trauma or some dark remnant of Bog. GildedGuy didn't and still doesn't care and endured endlessly. IT'S HOW HE WON AGAINST BOG IN THE FIRST PLACE
No his power is shine you saw this in gildedguy vs jade so why do you think it's his lighting it happened because remember the green eyed cowboy that's his power shining through his power is his nobility.
@@distantfire6733 Well, Gildedguy redirected Oxob's electricity to the ground by using his own armor, so it wouldn't be weird if he could also use some of Oxob's electricity in the middle of the fight. In the climax part, you can clearly see Gildedguy using an electric attack.
Basically, think of his armor as a battery that has been charging ever since he got hit with that electric field, and he just moved in such a way that it would arc to Oxob.
I like how dynamic this was, and how they don’t do those pace-breaking anime cliches. Like if this was an actual anime-style battle, for the scene at 3:09. Instead of immediately attacking again, Oxob would have jumped back and then it would cut to a still image of Oxob with a surprised face internal monologuing, saying something like this to himself for 30 sec. “What? That was my Denka Lightning Punch technique! It should have shocked him into submission! How could it not do anything?” Guildedguy would have then looked at him crossing his arms or something, making a manly expression, and say something like “You are probably wondering why your attack did nothing to me? Well.” It would then cut to Guildedguy rushing towards him with a speed lines background and say something like “Your Denka Lightning Punch is useless, because my armor is made with the rare Ahokutu Ore which absorbs electricity! You are powerless against me! And now witness as I use the ancient Katakata Sword Technique on you!” It would then cut to Oxob again with a surprised face and he’d internal monologue like “The ancient Katakata Sword Technique? I never knew it was real! If he knows that technique, I won’t be able to dodge this!” It would then show a few seconds of Oxob being repeatedly slashed by Guidedguy and then it would cut to Guidedguy with a manly expression bragging about his armor and power level and all that jazz that generic anime characters brag about. Maybe saying something also like “Your training could never have prepared you for an opponent like me, so I suggest you give up, I have already won.” Then Oxob would be like “You may think you have won, but I noticed your weakness. Your armor covers everything but your hands! Your hands should be wide-open for my attack!” It would then show a close-up of Guidedguy with a surprised face and he’s internal monologue like “What? How did he know?” Then Oxob would be like “Yes! And now that I know your weakness. You are as good as defeated! TAAKKKEEE THIIISSS!!! HUUUAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!” Then cut to him doing repeated Kung-fu punches and kicks. Then more moments of pace-breaking monologues and bragging about their abilities. But no. It didn’t do any of that stuff that generic anime always does. That’s why this is good!
@@iinkstain THANK YOU! Someone who actually understands what I mean, how so many anime battles are ruined by pace-breaking sequences of the characters stopping the whole fight to do things like explain their moves, brag about their power, or internal monologuing with a surprised face when surprised by their opponent’s move, and how this is good because it doesn’t do any of that! So few people get what I mean or think I’m wrong to criticize that, but for once, someone actually gets it. Thank you!
Gildedguy vs. Oxob is quite clearly to me a story of trauma - specifically, a story of *relinquishing yourself* from the weight of trauma and pushing past previous traumatic experience as a step towards healing. It's message and thematics can be described with one word, "Pain", but experiencing that pain isn't *just* for the sake of negativity and playing with the character's anger and grief towards it, pain is also used as a tool for healing in this story. Pain is necessary in any traumatic experience. You have to feel that pain, and know it, before you can know how to heal. GG and Oxob have both individually experienced their own trauma, you don't even need to know Oxob's previous stories to get a grasp for how he feels inhibited by his own trauma and pain with repeatedly getting the short end of the stick. Knowing his stories only gives it more depth, with him retaining a long-term physical disability, losing family and being taken advantage of per result of recklessness. Gilded on the opposing end bears the frustrations of being unable to heal from his experiences with Bog in a very literal sense, because Bog is *still stuck with him,* mentally and physically, and the fact that remnants of that battle for survival are still quite literally within him has left him in a position where his scars from that fight are still unable to properly heal, thus leaving him unable to dawn his armor, even when in a position where he needs to rely on it. A very good means of storytelling, by taking the way trauma sticks with people and bringing it to a /physical/ level as well, not just mental. I think it's very telling, how Gilded turns away from Oxob's offer of help in the beginning of the story, that both of their own traumas and approaching them from a healthy angle wasn't going to be possible through just a conversation. They both have negative associations with duels, or just fighting in general, because of the way it's impacted them physically /and/ mentally, and that's not something that they can recover from without having to face it head on. Dueling between themselves, even if that's not something they precisely realize in the moment, is by all means a therapeutic process. Their fight is driven by anger, a communication gap, but it eventually wraps back around into being a positive experience for the both of them, even if it's not very happy in the moment. The both of them get their own time to push past things that both physically and mentally inhibit them in this story - Gilded finally pushing past the pain of his scars and dawning his gauntlets, and Oxob similarly losing his leg braces. The rest of their fight then on takes a very.... dramatic angle. Downright anime-esc, a bit cheesy for some, but I personally think it's the perfect visual demonstration of how the two of them have been able to release themselves of their personal inhibitions and just fight for the sake of it, because it's fun, dramatic, fast paced. I think this stands true for Oxob especially, given how that's always been what dueling has meant to him, being a medium where he can put his otherwise destructive electrokinetic abilities (nanomachines, son!) to a good use, something that's engaging for him, and with Gilded being able to wear his full set of armor (of which is very evidently conductive, and Gilded's only means of keeping himself from being fried), the two are effectively in a position where neither really necessarily risks inhibiting the /other/, either, which definitely lends into why the fight gets so crazy in the back half - it's unconventional, but this is effectively their healing process, replacing negative association with something positive, something liberating. I think the thing that definitely sells that theme of "release from trauma" for certain is the ending - I don't know what's going on with The Cowboy, at this rate, but I do think this video has in some respects de-confirmed his association with Bog as an individual - at least after the fact, given that he seems unaffected by Bog's absence by all means, even seeming a bit perturbed by his short lived presence when attempting to re-enter Gilded's scars, only turning back to his own focus, his own goals, when he's assured that Gilded can effectively handle himself (which was an incredibly powerful moment, by the way. Glorious visual storytelling of how he's finally been able to heal. His scars look so much healthier from the beginning of the animation, too). This is a bit tangent-y of a comment overall, so I'm sorry if my thematic ramblings come off as a bit disjointed, but this animation overall has already come to hold a very special place in my heart, as a person who has personally struggled with PTSD, and especially the anger that comes with it. This animation demonstrates all of it's themes beautifully, and it's overall message is very personally meaningful to me, so take this message as an overall thank you for continuing to tell such incredible stories through your animation. I anticipate what you'll come to create in the future with bated breath. EDIT: thanks for all the kind comments! makes me feel extra validated in overanalyzing this silly video of two stick figures punching each other, lol
So, in other words, Shock Therapy. Edit: In all seriousness I really love how Gilded can fit such a great message into an animation with no dialogue. He exerted mastery over the show-don't-tell storytelling style beautifully and in an easily digestible way. So much so, that upon watching this again I instinctively teared up just a little bit.
Thats a really good analysis, i enjoyed reading this alot, it wrapped up all the ideas about the themes i had and didnt have into one conclusion and it really gives me more insight into the animation. I also think the ending was really powerful, how he's physically healed now he's mentally past it, how bog can't enter anymore because he's healed and how he both mentally and physically, killing bog, closes that traumatic chapter of his life.
Here’s my speculation of what Oxob represents and Gildedguy represents: At 1:39 we see Gildedguy studying his wounds. Notice how his wounds are open. Also notice how at 1:40 Oxob notices this and at 1:43 Oxob offers Gildedguy bandages. Oxob uses a method of repression to heal. He uses bandages to hide the wounds and in this case he offers the same treatment literally to Gildedguy Gildedguy of course isn’t used to this, and turns his back to Oxob and this causes Oxob to show his huger scars. Now it becomes a thing of pride. Oxob believes he’s in a higher authority to know how to heal because he has scars WAY bigger than Gildedguy. (As shown at 2:05) Now Gildedguy is upset, throwing the bandage away out of anger because he believes that Oxob doesn’t know any better than he does. Thus HIS pride is presented. Now here’s what I love. At 2:17 when Oxob’s bandages are burned- it’s sort of a symbol for Oxobs method of healing. He represses whatever he hurts and bottles it up. So of course once the bandages are burnt, oxob is hurt, and what do we see? A glimpse of his past, the actual symbolic meaning behind the bandages: _what he’s trying to cover up_ Now of course, Oxob aims for Gildedguy’s cape at 2:20. Now this is a bit speculative, but I believe the cape is representing the Green eyed cowboy. The green eyed cowboy is a representation of all of Gildedguy’s desires, and even his faults. Greed, lust, and *pride* Gilded guy’s cape, the one this that is consistent between the gilded guy knight and Green eyed cowboy designs, is burnt. This is Oxob sort of saying “You are not as above this as you think!” ...And then the fight begins. It’s a fight of gildedguy trying to overcome his physical wounds, while Oxob tries to overcome his mental wounds. The two are a foil of each other. Gildedguy, while struggling to heal physically, can deal well with emotions, and Oxob is the opposite. In the fight, they both overcome their appropriate wounds. Oxob pushes Gildedguy to wear his Gauntlets after the immense physical pain, and while Oxob is fought back, the thoughts of his past he tried repressing once again rise to the surface. The two effectively help heal each other from this fight by addressing their personal needs. Now this was highly speculative, and this comment will probably be lost but tell me what you think!
5:49 is so fucking beautifully done, dawning the last bit of armor physically hurts GildedGuy to the point of tears because of the trauma he went through with Bog but you can see as he accepts that he's strong enough to get through this the last it of Bog's hold over him leaves and he returns to full form.
This begins as two fighters who have gone through their own traumas fighting out of frustration because they don't know if they'll ever get better into two fighters accepting that they ARE strong enough and they WILL get better.
Watching this again because it's so beautiful that another amazing detail is that GuildedGuy pushes through his trauma by putting on his armor and Oxob pushes through his trauma by taking his armor off.
Jade: uses an elegant weapon that can shoot fire, and turn into a spear. Oxob: uses prosthetic hands that can shoot electricity and ankle guards that can be used as a speed boost and to power up his kick attacks Gildedguy: E X P A N D S W O R D
I love how this goes from being a fight about anger and aggression, to being one about battling your inner demons, to a brawl of mutual respect and understanding between two bros.
6:59 I love the part when the air gets blue and then turns orange with gildeguy jumping out of it. Don’t know why but there was something pretty amazing about that scene.💯💯
I love how the fight went from what makes us special (sword, magic pen, electric powers) to a common thing we share ( suffering from pain) and looking at each other In admiration of strength to keep going and fight each other using just their strength. Also the final end credit shows how gildeds desire (green eyed cowboy) will always be followed by or have to deal with the doubt to continue (bog) no matter what trial he overcomes
If someone asked what my favourite animated fight scene of 2020 would be, I'd never guess it would be two half dead cripples fighting over whether or not to put bandages of partially healed scars.
I love the attention to detail in this fight. Gilded's armour was redirecting oxob's electricity to the ground, so oxob focused on attacking his injured arms. Gilded suffered pain when wearing his gloves because of bog, but overcame that tragedy and wore his gloves again to fight oxob. Visual story telling at its finest! Masterful job gildedguy!
At 3:23 after bog showed up in his sword, gilded did the same spinning attack (but looks a bit more fluid? As if bog has some influence in it) bog showed up again as gilded swing and the overall colour pallete change to purpleish, later on when gilded stop and start using more direct attack the colour pallete change back to normal. Either it points out how bog influence gildedguy, or a callback, like when gildedguy uses the same attack against jade on his fight against bog.
So this entire fight started because Oxob pulled a "mine's bigger than yours" on Gildedguy. Huh. In all seriousness, this animation was amazing and I had a blast watching it get made on twitch, good luck on your future endeavors Gildedguy! We're all rooting for you!
Nah, I think Oxob started the fight because Gildedguy wasn't taking care of his hands like he should, and Oxob told him that he needed to appreciate the fact that he still HAS hands. And Gilded burning Oxob was just the last click for him. And in the end, Gilded won because he knew he had to surpass that fear and pain to win, and he did putting on his gloves.
We all have the cool fight in our head that's planned out but we can't animate. Then we watch a guy that can, we get inspired to do the same for a few seconds, than we give up and get depressed. Then we see another epic animation. Rinse and repeat.
Basically the plot: Gildedguy: you don’t understand my pain Oxob: no, you don’t understand MY pain Gildedguy: fite meh irl bro Oxob: OK BRO Epik fite scene Oxob: we totally relate bro Gildedguy: bro...
He’s fighting against professional killers whom have superpowers, artificially super enhanced, or magic artifacts. He’s got a magic star pen, armor made of coins, and an elasta Sword. He’s winning these battles via Luck, Creativity, and a good amount skill. GG is awesome because he’s more like normal person than the people he fights.
6:33 - (something I missed the first 300 TIMES I watched this 🙀😹) I love the look on GG's face when he realizes they're leaving the ground... "Are we doing THIS now?!" 😳
I love how, at 6:12, it seems the fight is no longer about who's pain is greater, but a mutual respect for the other's pain and an unspoken agreement to lash out their pain at each other, as a form of release. I get this from GG's slight head nod, Oxob's braces shattering into nothing and each character's respective facial expressions at 6:45. Also loved the synth in this, got that old school 80-90s 'Friendship overcomes all' vibes. You've done a fantastic job here Gildedguy, I eagerly look forward to your next wonderful piece!
Donald Pagee Agreed. It’s really nice to see them overcome their trauma and sort of become buddies. I’d guess it’s more rivals from then on but still. Buddies
I was trying to articulate what I believed happened in that scene and I think you hit it on the nose. "A mutual agreement to lash out their pain towards each other." They both had to beat the pain, and they both knew the other did too. That pain was no longer holding them back, it was evening the playingfield.
It really is interesting how each of these stories ends up absolutely peak in different way with all these characters. Each of these stick people have their own stories and they get flushed out and concluded in one episode each.
They're both dealing with trauma and wounds, Gildedguy cut his hands in order to survive against bog, and Oxob has had his arms blown off twice, and his legs badly injured, only being repaired to serve under Jade
It was only to repay the favors. I guess Oxob just realised in that moment that he couldn't put up as much of a good fight against anybody ever again cuz he's basically a cripple.
Found this on IG. Came to find the entire story. Watched the entire plot up this point. And when i tell you this part made me shed tears. Nothing short of beautiful
im not going to lie, i may be the only one who actually shed tears to this at one point because of how i connected with the struggles, not when it comes to him and his animations, just int general with life challenges. gildedguy has always been one of my most favorite animators, who has always been legendary to me. i will forever follow 💯
I just learned from the Gildedguy webpage that the place they fought(Aegis Field) is place of healing. I love how the fight fits the lore AND has a deep meaning :D
6:13 It took a few re-watches to catch this little nod they both share. I can tell this is showing that they are both ready to go all-out and fight until the metaphorical “storm” (being their past troubles) ends. They’re fighting to confront what is haunting them and to overcome it. On another note, I’m glad I was one of the viewers on Twitch! This is, by far, your best one yet imo solely for the amount of dedication you clearly put into this. Outstanding, Gilded!
5:50-5:57 This has got to be my absolute favorite parts of many. Seeing him push out his trauma and return to his true self is inspiring. Ngl got me teary eyed haha
Neat detail: Gold is one of the most efficient electrical conductors in the entire elemental table. In other words, Gold (GildedGuy) attracts Lightning (Oxob). Says a bit about the creator too, as Gold is also one of the most fragile precious metals, and given how clear and open Michael is with displays of emotion in his animations, I think it is an all-too appropriate comparison.
ITS BEEN A YEAR SINCE THIS ANIMATION HAS FIRST RELEASED, what an amazing animation this has been. Oxob was the first animator and RHG that got me into the stickfigure animation community and I’m glad that you chose him for this. Love to see where this plot is going, excited for the Story #0!
It looked to me like guilded is immune to oxob’s electricity, and honestly GG is pretty physically strong to begin with. Remember how in the bog episode he did the twirly thing to cut away all the forest and reveal bog? That takes some serious strength. Inhuman really. So the electrical immunity mixed with super strength and armor to absorb blows, oxob may have been doomed to lose from the beginning. Also, I think oxob’s power to bust through a tank may have more to do with electromagnetism than his physical strength.
This man solos the entire Hazbin hotel and helluva boss universe, even other indie animation universes. Gildedguy is the strongest being in all of RUclips.
So GlidedGuy’s suit grounded Oxob’s electricity but he kept giving him more so his suit was empowered by Ozob’s powers to fight at his level? So Oxob was fighting a reflection of himself. Deep.
He has plus and minus at the same time spark rock the light was coming from the electric and making oxobs memory to flood back but gildedguy is noding to oxob to know he was not gonna destroy his gloves like jade did oxob did the same but not take the weapon he had like jade did they had the same mind of jade
Gilded Guy is actually pretty powerful. Jade got beat as soon as GG got his sword and was able to go blow for blow in a fist fight with OXOB though both are severely handicapped. Only Bog and the Chef has been able to fight GG at his full strength.
That little detail of Guildedguy seeing Bog reflected in the sword right before using that big spin move he hasn't used since the bog-fight, was such a good touch. That and the purging bog from his systems bit before putting back on the gold gloves, is so fricken good! Origins was amazing man, but this one will always be my favorite, the lighting is so good.
And when he was charged and fighting Oxib,you can see him look back as the Green Eyed Cowboy under the helmet,he has taken the ability and skill of the cowboy and incorporated him into himself
I'm a little late, but when he puts on his gauntlets, you see Bog's blood floating up from the top of his helmet. Edit: not only that, but Bog's reflection in the sword again as he tries to retrieve it before seeing Oxob behind him in the reflection.
Every time I watch Gildedguy's latest animation it's almost like a personal milestone. Every time a new work comes out I'm a little older, a little wiser than I was before. Each first viewing is a perfect snapshot of who I was at that point in time, and I often am reminded of certain traits I had when I go back to view his previous animations. I've been an ecstatic sugar-fueled Middle school student, an aspiring musician who couldn't keep a beat, a presidential buff, an actor, an author, a weightlifter, and everything in between. Now I'm here, as an adult reading up about Wagner. Yet despite all these changes, I keep coming back to see what Gildedguy has made next. And every time I get to that point, I've always learned something important that I didn't know before. And you know what? I think everyone else here* is the same way. *including Michael Edit: I'm not going to be crushed if nobody sees this comment, but I thought of something fun I could do. I'm going to go back to each of his major animations and comment something I learned at that time. This is more for personal fulfillment than anything
Well, correction, there was a podcast with GG and Oxob and the creator said GG's stories will last to 4 more stories. *Shad noises* But it depends on how the future stories go so. There's possibly new season.
bro gildedguy takes what is simple stickman fights and takes it to a whole different level. i have never seen so much story and creativness, yet realistic and kind of relatible in a stickman fight like this. you are simply a different breed man. you are truly 1 in 8.26 billion. love your animations. never stop keep doing what u love. stay strong and stay golden!
Look. I’mma be real here. I say that Gildedguy inspires me. A lot. I tell anyone I meet that I look up to him. Yet I’ve never been an animator. Only an appreciator of his work. I’ve always wanted to be an animator, yet I don’t think I know even the first thing about starting to attempt animation. My hype when the teaser trailer for this hit was already through the roof. But the actual thing? That brought me to tears. And somehow, with each video, my resolve strengthens. Someday, when I’m ready, when I know what I’m doing, I *am* going to do what you do. Even if it takes 10, 20, even 30 years. Because with the kind of incredible, beautiful things you create for people, I can honestly say. There is no greater gift that you can give to this world. And it’s not just your animations, it’s you. You are a gift to all of us out here watching you shine and unleash waves of color and entertainment. So all of that to say, thank you. Thank you for what you do Michael. And I wish you the best of luck in all your future creations and endeavors. Keep shining, and may the “heart” in your “shiny art with heart” keep beating strong. I know for a fact you raised my heart-rate by a few bpm’s with this video.
@@ultra3689 GG's armor does give him moderately enhanced strength and agility, and the armor is a decent (though not incredible) protective measure, but he was also without his sword when fighting Jade, which seems to be a decently unique weapon that not many (if any) other people do/can use effectively. And real talk, if he were more creative with it, the Stellapen could be a really powerful utility item for all sorts of things.
well I don't think Jade has any powers other than her weapons, does she? And GG was unarmed for most of their fight: as soon as he got his sword she was at a disadvantage too. (though whether that's because he's stronger or because he caught her off-guard is hard to say...)
Ultra IDK about that. It's clear that Gildedguy's armor can somewhat absorb and use his own enemy's attacks. He's also pretty good with his blade and is pretty improvisational with his fighting. I can see him at least fighting to a draw with fighters like Yoyo, Umbrella, and Yupia.
Story 1-6 in a nutshell: 1: Guy attempts murder because someone else didn't like his terrible cooking 2: Woman attempts murder because guy ate more than 2 of something 3: Guy attempts to get money to repair his armor after 2 people tried to murder him 4: Sludge creature attempts to murder someone for just existing 5: Guy almost dies because he was daydreaming 6: Guy attempts murder because somebody refused to take some bandages
This portrayal of healing is beautiful. Even rewatching, I still get teary eyed when Oxob's bandages fall off after Gildedguy nods to keep fighting despite bleeding from his gauntlets
In story #4 the Bog was trying to control Gildedguy, having his hand have cuts to get inside him, which it did made it very painful wearing his gauntlets.
This really makes me think of the old trope where two characters who have trauma are able to understand each other by fighting. The flip at 6:13 where oxob can see that gildedguy is fighting through his pain and from that point on the fight isn't out of anger but respect from one to another. Absolute god tier animation.
I actually cried at the end of the premiere, I remembered every past RHG and the glory days, the animation quality just made me feel so much. I know one can’t really compare to the past fights since, this is way too good, but i felt that spark of joy and excitement again when I first found the stick figure community. These aren’t sticks, they’re characters.
Well i mean thier still stick figures. Just more detailed. They still have the circke head and body. Just cause they arent lines doesn't make them anyless stickmen. Just gives em more form.
How battle starts with GG GG vs Fry: GG: "You BURNED the bacon" GG vs Jade: Jade: "Every food is only served ONE per guests" GG vs Bog: Bog: "Imma end this man's whole night" GG vs Oxob: Oxob: " You don't understand my PAIN"
No actually oxobs trying to fight gildedguy to teach him because when gg burned oxobs bandages oxob found a toxic pride, ya see gg vs oxob is kind of about "move on, man"
5:48 this right here is probably the most emotional moment ever. Not only does he put on his finally on the gloves that have haunted him since that night. But theirs visual representation that he’s overcome the trauma he’s been through. As the lighting that was surging through his armor burns the acid away which you can see coming out of his helmet, it shows how much this fight helped him. When oxob see this, he can’t help but breakdown knowing that somehow this fight has helped him and realizes that maybe the same could happen for him. How his leg braces breakdown and removed the visual shackles holding him back to the camera panning up to see him crying. And it ties back to the reason this fight happened in the first place. All he wanted to do, was help him. Btw, 6:49 was the face of a smile. Both of them fighting in their prime states at that point, nothing holding them back, and all the worry behind them is gone. It’s only Oxob and Gildedguy. And right now, this fight is the only thing that matters. And he can’t help as he sees the eyes in gildedguy to smile in return.
hey don’t forget that Gildedguy isn’t fully worried about his magic pen he only realizes that he lost it after the fight and heads his way to the arena
Oxob: Harnesses the literal strongest force of nature at his fingers tips and can move at the speed of sound Gildedguy: *_Yea but look at this glowstick_*
I love how gildedguy gets himself in trouble in each story due to his own stubbornness. And how nobody is ever the same person after encountering him. And he has this personality that can change the way you perceive everything in just within a couple of moments. Even if he has to go super saiyan to prove a point. And I Also love how much weight each fight has. its not about just two dudes punching each other. Its about two people trying to conquer their past. (Thats how I saw it) Each fight has an underlining message that you can only get after watching it a couple of times. Its kind of poetic.
But bog was just being a dick. Not really stubborn. Basement busk was just him trying to get money to fix his armor(though it was broken in previous story due to having no manners.
honestly not all of them have been super meaningful(still an incredible work either way, but not all of them hold emotional weight): story #1 is literally an argument about bacon doneness turned into a fight. important, certainly, but not really emotionally weighted. story #2 is about Gildedguy eating too many snacks at a party and then fighting the person who set up said party because of it. story #3 isn't a fight at all, and is just Gildedguy trying to make money for armor repairs at a music joint. story #4 has emotional effects, what with the possession and mental habitation, but the reason it started is that Bog is an asshole. story #5 and #6 I agree with you though, there's a lot of gravitas and emotion behind them both, and it's awesome.
@@RealLordShaxx well at least Bog's helping him now.... Only because GG was beating him internally. I will agree with you on the 1st part you said tho. My dude was trying to chill until Bog came out of nowhere XD
@matthew bajarias I like dis story u guys are doing on glided Oxob:u destroy man bandage I destroy ur handy wags and u and Every Thing else u have over the bandage u just destroyed.. AAAAAGGGH and then.. oxob got beaten in the story.. like always
I've said it elsewhere- I'll say it again. You've done spectacularly as ever GG- like really. You and the production team have blown it out of the water and thensome. Can't wait to see what you guys make next!
Something that I just realized after rewatching and listening to this for years In 3:24, if you pause and look at the frames before Gildedguy starts to spin, you can see Gildedguy’s shock or fear in his eyes, as if he’s staring into the reflection of Bog in his sword. You can still see it in his eyes in 3:32, with a look of doubt and worry if his attack is working, ands quickly shuts his eyes hoping it works (or maybe a raindrop got into his eyes idk). 3:38 But only after seeing Oxob adapting and dodging his attack, the lines around his eyes disappear. That’s some good attention to detail.👍 TLDR; lines around his eyes appear when he reenacts a move he did in Story #4, and goes away after doing a different attack.
@@captainexpunged5022 bruh,it never said who won ;-; just because oxob was laying on the ground doce not mean he gave up and just got beaten, he was clearly tired and even gg was to -_-
@@user-zw2wq8jo2r oh come on now you see him legit breakdown when you see him losing the fight come on now and then you obviously see the tear in his eye when he's on the floor
To be honest, I never thought GildedGuy could fight like that. That's the thing, GildedGuy was never the most skilled or the fastest and I liked that about him. He beat his opponents because of his will and his mental strength, but seeing him fight like he's been doing it for years? Props to you Micheal this animation was superb.
I think he's growing as a fighter. I mean, hell, it makes sense after all the stuff he's been through. He's been dancing on the edge of death after all.
Thats the thing, after fighting so many characters more powerfulls than he, he become a better fighter, i understand this fight was quite brutal and less mental, but I think thats becouse both characters had things in their minds that both wanted to take off. This was a discharge, not a duel.
would this make him a sword fighter? a brawler? hes also used his capes for grappling and wrapping opponents. is he a jack of all trades or is it just those few things...
Words can't describe how good that moment was when Oxob's leg bracers fell off. The entire thing has ENERGY in more ways than one, which is something I think we can all agree upon!!! Fantastic work.
Reasons of the battle:
Story #1: Burnt bacon
Story #2: Snacks
Story #4: IDK, Bog is just a bastard
Story #6: Burnt bandage
I thing "Bog is just a bastard" is really just how any bog fight goes
You skipped story #5
@coolcoolmm m I mean it really wasn’t much of a physical fight was it.
Story #5 because cant afford more flowers
Story #5 was more of an internal struggle than a proper fight. It had a fight scene that was all in his head, but the other “fight” was just him shooting green eyed cowboy him.
If any of you wish for context and analysis for this fight:
Oxob was once a stuntman, who lost his hands when the helicopter he intended to jump from crashed. In hospital some shady government dbags offered to give him advanced prosthetics if he paid. Being wealthy from his many stunting ventures he agreed, however he did not realise that they were also intending to make him into a super soldier. He did not like this and escaped. The operation had left him flat broke, so he turned to fighting in RHG tournaments and discovered that he had a true love for fighting.
However in his fight with a gladiator named Xenrath, a large boulder was about to crush his opponent. He pushed him out of the way but his legs were severely broken as the debris fell on him, resulting in him using advanced bracers to help him walk. He continued fighting, but his extensive injuries had taken away his enthusiasm for combat. This worsened in his battle against Jade, who defeated him with relative ease. In this video we can see that his insecurities and loss as Jade’s hands have made him develop some form a pyrophobia and have made him rely more on his enhancements. From his perspective, Jade is also prideful in her natural ability (seen from the hallucinations smirk), whilst he is ashamed of having nothing but his enhancements, which compensate for his crippled body.
On the other hand GG, an impoverished artist/fighter, is suffering from his encounter with Bog in Story #4. In this, GG was beaten within an inch of his life and could only defeat the physically impervious Bog by cutting his palms and beating him within his mind space. However Bog’s influence is still clearly seen in this video, with the scars preventing him from putting on all of his armour and poisoning his brain via a form of PTSD.
In my opinion the resolution of these problems is what makes this fight so great. At the start Oxob is critical of GG for fussing over the cuts on his hands, pointing out his much more prominent scars, essentially telling him to stop acting like a big child. He offers him a bandage to help him cover up the wound and the past it carries. GG doesn’t want this as he cannot ignore what happened and wishes to move forward, and so he swats away the bandage accidentally burning it. Seeing GG’s toxic pride, Oxob burns his cape and they begin to fight.
Oxob’s lightning attacks cannot hurt GG’s body as his armour grounds him, but his hands are unprotected, so Oxob focuses his attacks on his weak point. GG realises that he must put on his gauntlets to have a chance, but doing so will remind him of his confrontation with Bog. GG attempts to overload Oxob with his Ben Franklin trap, which nearly shatters his bracers and diminishes his prosthetics charge, causing the red lightning (a symbol of his reliance on his enhancements). GG decides he cannot avoid his past anymore, accepting the pain it caused him both figuratively and literally, when he puts on his gauntlets. Doing so reopens the cuts on his hands, but his refusal to back down from the pain visibly purges the remnants of Bog’s influence from his mind.
He stands anew.
Oxob’s attack is again grounded when GG catches it. The heat from the lightning causes the ground to catch fire, which rises behind GG. As he is tossed to the ground Oxob is brought back to his defeat at Jade’s hands and his pyrophobia sparks up seeing the flames at GG’s feet. He expects to see the same prideful smirk on GG’s face until he notices the blood pouring from the wounds on his hands.
Seeing GG fight despite the massive amount of pain he is in, inspires him. He stands up, and with each step, the bracers slowly fall apart, showing how he is relying on his own strength for the first time in a long while. The red lightning diminishes and with great agony he charges himself up, ready to fight once more. As he rediscovers his passion for fighting without worrying about his pride.
He too stands anew.
They fight without hesitation, as they have both overcome their demons.
Very underrated comment
@@Deadosaurus yes i too agree his opinion is very nice and not a lot of people acknowledge what he says
Dang jade
The one thing I still don't get is who is that cowboy and why is bog only targeting GG
(At the ending you can see the cowboy looking at the stars and bog trying to get in GG again but he squashed his ass lmao)
Just watch the other story videos, they explain it for you
My new favorite animation right here!
The way they both concered their pain and their past was so well done! You're one of the few animators who can make me feel emotional for the characters. And your lightning effects are off the chain! This has inspired me to new levels and I'll really try to push myself with my next project!
I'M SO GLAD YOU PICKED OXOB FOR THIS!
I'm happy for you man. Now fight Nhazul and Bog.
well, it's quite shocking that you realized he picked you for this battle, ain't it
@@gabgalla7403 I think you need an active mamber to pick a fight with and it would be pretty weird for bog to have a duel now

I also really like seeing you again. I thought you would have the upper hand since you know, he is wearing a steel armor.
Oxob's Slight smile at 6:49 in response to GG is just perfect, Perfect portrayal of healing. Hes going to be a powerful ally in the future.
It's just like he's saying thanks in his mind

Hi Camila :P
On top of being amazingly animated and being an emotional story without using any voices or dialogue, Gildedguy is subtly showing us his taste in music and how very varied it is without having us visit his playlist.
Wonder what's the next story about and I had a few ideas. One of them is Gildedguys Speed paint Arzon. It shows Gildedguy looking at a poster that has a green stickfigure with a cape in a coliseum.
DiscordantKing I mean gilded needs to get that own back if he wants to fix his armor in the future
@@archeishere1 a green stickman with a cape? There is a lot of green stickmen with a cape... but if the colliseum represents rhg then... Tentionmaru?? Haah~ I can only hope...
I cannot agree any less.

Jade: I have fire. Bog: I can’t die. Oxob: I have prothstetics that let me control lightning. GildedGuy: I have a pen, armor, ptsd, and a stretchy sword oh and another sentient being inside of me who’s a cowboy.

Oxob: now u fuked up

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WIPE MY ASS NOW GLIDE GUY
The thing we love about Gildedguy, is that the stories can all be interpreted as something connected to animating.
Story 1: First real story, testing the waters and making your first animation. Short, sweet, but lots of dedication nonetheless.
Story 2: A change and the development of your own real style. In this case, the beginning of a theme of music synced animations with breathtaking colors.
Story 3: Where real challenges begin to arise, in realizing even with immense dedication and time, you need money to keep doing what you love. However, you have to realize that you can’t sell out, or blatantly ask. You’ll make it through, just keep making amazing stuff and the rest will follow.
Story 4: The real fear, when the stuff you make isn’t being viewed enough. That lingering fear of nobody watching what you create, which is practically a life line for an animator. The fear(bog) could never be beaten, only pushed down and conquered by the animators own resolve.
Story 5: With the creations you make, there are always other animators. Those who make more, get more views, fans, sponsorships. In this the green eyed cowboy was simply that, green with envy. The jealously of wanting what others have. It’s just the desire of reaching that goal or stardom(in the animation world).
Story 6: A story of conquering past fears. Even when one seemingly beats both fear and jealousy, it’s never truly gone. Such things leave scars. Through this, the fight wasn’t just a fight to win, it was one to heal. Creating a beautiful animation that brings you back to the reason you picked up the pen or pencil in the first place, to feel happy and revel in the brilliance of your work to which you can share with others.
Thx gildedguy for everything you’ve done.
Story 1 was actually a challenge video I believe. I think he only had 24 hours to animate it. Gilded guy was already a well established animator in the community before the gilded guy animations

This was quite the battle: Two wounded and traumatised warriors duking it out. Not to mention the animation was fantastic.
Another animation well done Gildedguy
my youtoub sub+
No surprise it took long.
Nice
not only where they wounded but they still went all out at the end no fear holding them back it was amazing to see what the story has come to the growth of each of them.
there is a huge amount of symbolism packed into this as well!
I’m so jealous of guidedguy’s skill to portray so much emotion and meaning through facial expressions and actions , *chefs kiss*
I do think it is much better than having dialogue. Can you imagine if it had dialogue? just a bunch of people swearing at each other and calling them names. looking at you hollywood...
Man I love the fact that bog still has this much of a physiological impact on gilded . It makes the fight that they had more of a battle against themselves and overcoming a tramautising experience. It truly seems like the fight left them both better , if not slightly injured as well. This was a amazingly well written fight.
True meaning of limit breakers
Well, is not that like psycological, Bog is, literaly, inside Glided
Rausan Rau
Not really, the Bog blob during the post credit-scene is actually him, or a part of him per say. The Bog in all of the sword reflections are just figments of Gildedguy’s imagination, or rather his trauma.
And this place is a place that heals wounds "this is probably why gg is there" and that's why oxob could walk without brace
Its even better than that, GildedGuy just doesn't care about Bog anymore, when he saw Bog in the sword, I took it as a "Hey weirdo." Kinda moment.
It doesn't matter if Bog's lingering effects on GildedGuy are purely subconscious trauma or some dark remnant of Bog. GildedGuy didn't and still doesn't care and endured endlessly. IT'S HOW HE WON AGAINST BOG IN THE FIRST PLACE
This is easily one of the best animated fights animated on RUclips
WTH how are you everywhere
@@3gee312 we are omnipresent.
Wait i saw you at a AMV video.
Yea 100%
@Just Some Guy without a Mustache, literally u are every where I see something very interesting.
Oxob: "I have the power of trauma and my fists, you can't defeat me."
Gildedguy: "Well, I have your own electricity. Let's see how that goes!"
No his power is shine you saw this in gildedguy vs jade so why do you think it's his lighting it happened because remember the green eyed cowboy that's his power shining through his power is his nobility.
@@distantfire6733 Well, Gildedguy redirected Oxob's electricity to the ground by using his own armor, so it wouldn't be weird if he could also use some of Oxob's electricity in the middle of the fight. In the climax part, you can clearly see Gildedguy using an electric attack.
Basically, think of his armor as a battery that has been charging ever since he got hit with that electric field, and he just moved in such a way that it would arc to Oxob.
I like how dynamic this was, and how they don’t do those pace-breaking anime cliches.
Like if this was an actual anime-style battle, for the scene at 3:09.
Instead of immediately attacking again, Oxob would have jumped back and then it would cut to a still image of Oxob with a surprised face internal monologuing, saying something like this to himself for 30 sec.
“What? That was my Denka Lightning Punch technique! It should have shocked him into submission! How could it not do anything?”
Guildedguy would have then looked at him crossing his arms or something, making a manly expression, and say something like “You are probably wondering why your attack did nothing to me? Well.”
It would then cut to Guildedguy rushing towards him with a speed lines background and say something like “Your Denka Lightning Punch is useless, because my armor is made with the rare Ahokutu Ore which absorbs electricity! You are powerless against me! And now witness as I use the ancient Katakata Sword Technique on you!”
It would then cut to Oxob again with a surprised face and he’d internal monologue like “The ancient Katakata Sword Technique? I never knew it was real! If he knows that technique, I won’t be able to dodge this!”
It would then show a few seconds of Oxob being repeatedly slashed by Guidedguy and then it would cut to Guidedguy with a manly expression bragging about his armor and power level and all that jazz that generic anime characters brag about. Maybe saying something also like “Your training could never have prepared you for an opponent like me, so I suggest you give up, I have already won.”
Then Oxob would be like “You may think you have won, but I noticed your weakness. Your armor covers everything but your hands! Your hands should be wide-open for my attack!”
It would then show a close-up of Guidedguy with a surprised face and he’s internal monologue like “What? How did he know?”
Then Oxob would be like “Yes! And now that I know your weakness. You are as good as defeated! TAAKKKEEE THIIISSS!!! HUUUAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!” Then cut to him doing repeated Kung-fu punches and kicks. Then more moments of pace-breaking monologues and bragging about their abilities.
But no. It didn’t do any of that stuff that generic anime always does. That’s why this is good!
i wish this was pinned, this is actually fuckng gold.
@@iinkstain THANK YOU! Someone who actually understands what I mean, how so many anime battles are ruined by pace-breaking sequences of the characters stopping the whole fight to do things like explain their moves, brag about their power, or internal monologuing with a surprised face when surprised by their opponent’s move, and how this is good because it doesn’t do any of that!
So few people get what I mean or think I’m wrong to criticize that, but for once, someone actually gets it. Thank you!
oh my god how is this not known, this is perfect.
@@NoIdkLol Thank you for recognizing this.
Gilded did like this bro, now you can be proud
Gildedguy vs. Oxob is quite clearly to me a story of trauma - specifically, a story of *relinquishing yourself* from the weight of trauma and pushing past previous traumatic experience as a step towards healing. It's message and thematics can be described with one word, "Pain", but experiencing that pain isn't *just* for the sake of negativity and playing with the character's anger and grief towards it, pain is also used as a tool for healing in this story.
Pain is necessary in any traumatic experience. You have to feel that pain, and know it, before you can know how to heal.
GG and Oxob have both individually experienced their own trauma, you don't even need to know Oxob's previous stories to get a grasp for how he feels inhibited by his own trauma and pain with repeatedly getting the short end of the stick. Knowing his stories only gives it more depth, with him retaining a long-term physical disability, losing family and being taken advantage of per result of recklessness. Gilded on the opposing end bears the frustrations of being unable to heal from his experiences with Bog in a very literal sense, because Bog is *still stuck with him,* mentally and physically, and the fact that remnants of that battle for survival are still quite literally within him has left him in a position where his scars from that fight are still unable to properly heal, thus leaving him unable to dawn his armor, even when in a position where he needs to rely on it. A very good means of storytelling, by taking the way trauma sticks with people and bringing it to a /physical/ level as well, not just mental.
I think it's very telling, how Gilded turns away from Oxob's offer of help in the beginning of the story, that both of their own traumas and approaching them from a healthy angle wasn't going to be possible through just a conversation. They both have negative associations with duels, or just fighting in general, because of the way it's impacted them physically /and/ mentally, and that's not something that they can recover from without having to face it head on. Dueling between themselves, even if that's not something they precisely realize in the moment, is by all means a therapeutic process. Their fight is driven by anger, a communication gap, but it eventually wraps back around into being a positive experience for the both of them, even if it's not very happy in the moment.
The both of them get their own time to push past things that both physically and mentally inhibit them in this story - Gilded finally pushing past the pain of his scars and dawning his gauntlets, and Oxob similarly losing his leg braces. The rest of their fight then on takes a very.... dramatic angle. Downright anime-esc, a bit cheesy for some, but I personally think it's the perfect visual demonstration of how the two of them have been able to release themselves of their personal inhibitions and just fight for the sake of it, because it's fun, dramatic, fast paced. I think this stands true for Oxob especially, given how that's always been what dueling has meant to him, being a medium where he can put his otherwise destructive electrokinetic abilities (nanomachines, son!) to a good use, something that's engaging for him, and with Gilded being able to wear his full set of armor (of which is very evidently conductive, and Gilded's only means of keeping himself from being fried), the two are effectively in a position where neither really necessarily risks inhibiting the /other/, either, which definitely lends into why the fight gets so crazy in the back half - it's unconventional, but this is effectively their healing process, replacing negative association with something positive, something liberating.
I think the thing that definitely sells that theme of "release from trauma" for certain is the ending - I don't know what's going on with The Cowboy, at this rate, but I do think this video has in some respects de-confirmed his association with Bog as an individual - at least after the fact, given that he seems unaffected by Bog's absence by all means, even seeming a bit perturbed by his short lived presence when attempting to re-enter Gilded's scars, only turning back to his own focus, his own goals, when he's assured that Gilded can effectively handle himself (which was an incredibly powerful moment, by the way. Glorious visual storytelling of how he's finally been able to heal. His scars look so much healthier from the beginning of the animation, too).
This is a bit tangent-y of a comment overall, so I'm sorry if my thematic ramblings come off as a bit disjointed, but this animation overall has already come to hold a very special place in my heart, as a person who has personally struggled with PTSD, and especially the anger that comes with it. This animation demonstrates all of it's themes beautifully, and it's overall message is very personally meaningful to me, so take this message as an overall thank you for continuing to tell such incredible stories through your animation. I anticipate what you'll come to create in the future with bated breath.
EDIT: thanks for all the kind comments! makes me feel extra validated in overanalyzing this silly video of two stick figures punching each other, lol
So, in other words, Shock Therapy.
Edit: In all seriousness I really love how Gilded can fit such a great message into an animation with no dialogue. He exerted mastery over the show-don't-tell storytelling style beautifully and in an easily digestible way. So much so, that upon watching this again I instinctively teared up just a little bit.
Thats a really good analysis, i enjoyed reading this alot, it wrapped up all the ideas about the themes i had and didnt have into one conclusion and it really gives me more insight into the animation. I also think the ending was really powerful, how he's physically healed now he's mentally past it, how bog can't enter anymore because he's healed and how he both mentally and physically, killing bog, closes that traumatic chapter of his life.
Thanks man. I always know there's symbolism behind these animations, but I can never really figure out what it is that easily.
Well said, honestly. You know your stuff.
king I must be crazy if imma attempt to read all of that 😂
Here’s my speculation of what Oxob represents and Gildedguy represents:
At 1:39 we see Gildedguy studying his wounds. Notice how his wounds are open.
Also notice how at 1:40 Oxob notices this and at 1:43 Oxob offers Gildedguy bandages. Oxob uses a method of repression to heal. He uses bandages to hide the wounds and in this case he offers the same treatment literally to Gildedguy
Gildedguy of course isn’t used to this, and turns his back to Oxob and this causes Oxob to show his huger scars.
Now it becomes a thing of pride. Oxob believes he’s in a higher authority to know how to heal because he has scars WAY bigger than Gildedguy. (As shown at 2:05)
Now Gildedguy is upset, throwing the bandage away out of anger because he believes that Oxob doesn’t know any better than he does. Thus HIS pride is presented.
Now here’s what I love. At 2:17 when Oxob’s bandages are burned- it’s sort of a symbol for Oxobs method of healing. He represses whatever he hurts and bottles it up. So of course once the bandages are burnt, oxob is hurt, and what do we see? A glimpse of his past, the actual symbolic meaning behind the bandages: _what he’s trying to cover up_
Now of course, Oxob aims for Gildedguy’s cape at 2:20. Now this is a bit speculative, but I believe the cape is representing the Green eyed cowboy. The green eyed cowboy is a representation of all of Gildedguy’s desires, and even his faults. Greed, lust, and *pride*
Gilded guy’s cape, the one this that is consistent between the gilded guy knight and Green eyed cowboy designs, is burnt. This is Oxob sort of saying “You are not as above this as you think!”
...And then the fight begins. It’s a fight of gildedguy trying to overcome his physical wounds, while Oxob tries to overcome his mental wounds.
The two are a foil of each other. Gildedguy, while struggling to heal physically, can deal well with emotions, and Oxob is the opposite.
In the fight, they both overcome their appropriate wounds. Oxob pushes Gildedguy to wear his Gauntlets after the immense physical pain, and while Oxob is fought back, the thoughts of his past he tried repressing once again rise to the surface.
The two effectively help heal each other from this fight by addressing their personal needs.
Now this was highly speculative, and this comment will probably be lost but tell me what you think!
Amazing,I read every single word. I like where your coming from with this.
Perfect
Nice but can you also explain how gildedguy got his power
Yes
But what about all the bog references
I love how Oxob is having and emotional moment and butterboi is just like “since when could I do this?”
Is it at 6:33?
Butterboy 😂😂🤣
gl!ch ki6 gildednut is also having an emotional moment
And he was smiling at 6:50
Bruh
5:49 is so fucking beautifully done, dawning the last bit of armor physically hurts GildedGuy to the point of tears because of the trauma he went through with Bog but you can see as he accepts that he's strong enough to get through this the last it of Bog's hold over him leaves and he returns to full form.
This begins as two fighters who have gone through their own traumas fighting out of frustration because they don't know if they'll ever get better into two fighters accepting that they ARE strong enough and they WILL get better.
Watching this again because it's so beautiful that another amazing detail is that GuildedGuy pushes through his trauma by putting on his armor and Oxob pushes through his trauma by taking his armor off.
Jade: uses an elegant weapon that can shoot fire, and turn into a spear.
Oxob: uses prosthetic hands that can shoot electricity and ankle guards that can be used as a speed boost and to power up his kick attacks
Gildedguy: E X P A N D S W O R D
Gildedguy: FEAR THE POWER OF MY SHARP NOODLE
This made me crack up
😂
Correction: sharp spaghetti sword

Pretty emotional I know.
Jesus stop digging for hidden layers and just enjoy the fucking animation
6:59 I love the part when the air gets blue and then turns orange with gildeguy jumping out of it. Don’t know why but there was something pretty amazing about that scene.💯💯
I love how the fight went from what makes us special (sword, magic pen, electric powers) to a common thing we share ( suffering from pain) and looking at each other In admiration of strength to keep going and fight each other using just their strength.
Also the final end credit shows how gildeds desire (green eyed cowboy) will always be followed by or have to deal with the doubt to continue (bog) no matter what trial he overcomes

I love the attention to detail in this fight. Gilded's armour was redirecting oxob's electricity to the ground, so oxob focused on attacking his injured arms.
Gilded suffered pain when wearing his gloves because of bog, but overcame that tragedy and wore his gloves again to fight oxob.
Visual story telling at its finest! Masterful job gildedguy!
not a word spoken! One of the best forms of storyteling honestly
Also when he puts the gloves on at 5:47, you can see the last impact of Bog leaving him.
To be sincere if a lightning stroke gold, it would melt on the spot.
At 3:23 after bog showed up in his sword, gilded did the same spinning attack (but looks a bit more fluid? As if bog has some influence in it) bog showed up again as gilded swing and the overall colour pallete change to purpleish, later on when gilded stop and start using more direct attack the colour pallete change back to normal.
Either it points out how bog influence gildedguy, or a callback, like when gildedguy uses the same attack against jade on his fight against bog.
You do understand that gold is one of the best conductors of electricity, right?
So this entire fight started because Oxob pulled a "mine's bigger than yours" on Gildedguy. Huh.
In all seriousness, this animation was amazing and I had a blast watching it get made on twitch, good luck on your future endeavors Gildedguy! We're all rooting for you!
I think there will be come a
Gidledguy vs yupia
And
Gidledguy vs mar
Remember he’s Video future story’s
Nah, I think Oxob started the fight because Gildedguy wasn't taking care of his hands like he should, and Oxob told him that he needed to appreciate the fact that he still HAS hands. And Gilded burning Oxob was just the last click for him.
And in the end, Gilded won because he knew he had to surpass that fear and pain to win, and he did putting on his gloves.
And because mar haves hair
Its yupia but why is yupia in this arena
I wonder what Gildedguy 7 is gonna be like

We all have the cool fight in our head that's planned out but we can't animate.
Then we watch a guy that can, we get inspired to do the same for a few seconds, than we give up and get depressed.
Then we see another epic animation.

How GG wins against Jade: Breaking her rules
How GG wins against Oxob: *literally uno reversing him*
He’s fighting against professional killers whom have superpowers, artificially super enhanced, or magic artifacts. He’s got a magic star pen, armor made of coins, and an elasta Sword. He’s winning these battles via Luck, Creativity, and a good amount skill. GG is awesome because he’s more like normal person than the people he fights.

6:33 - (something I missed the first 300 TIMES I watched this 🙀😹)
I love the look on GG's face when he realizes they're leaving the ground...
"Are we doing THIS now?!" 😳
I love how, at 6:12, it seems the fight is no longer about who's pain is greater, but a mutual respect for the other's pain and an unspoken agreement to lash out their pain at each other, as a form of release. I get this from GG's slight head nod, Oxob's braces shattering into nothing and each character's respective facial expressions at 6:45. Also loved the synth in this, got that old school 80-90s 'Friendship overcomes all' vibes. You've done a fantastic job here Gildedguy, I eagerly look forward to your next wonderful piece!
Donald Pagee Agreed. It’s really nice to see them overcome their trauma and sort of become buddies. I’d guess it’s more rivals from then on but still. Buddies
I didn't really catch that the first time, but yea, seems like you're right! I really appreciated this
also if u look carefully at 6:47 you can see oxob smiling
5:52 the borg stuff is coming out of his helmet.
I was trying to articulate what I believed happened in that scene and I think you hit it on the nose. "A mutual agreement to lash out their pain towards each other." They both had to beat the pain, and they both knew the other did too. That pain was no longer holding them back, it was evening the playingfield.

6:13 It took a few re-watches to catch this little nod they both share. I can tell this is showing that they are both ready to go all-out and fight until the metaphorical “storm” (being their past troubles) ends. They’re fighting to confront what is haunting them and to overcome it. On another note, I’m glad I was one of the viewers on Twitch! This is, by far, your best one yet imo solely for the amount of dedication you clearly put into this. Outstanding, Gilded!
This fight ended up being a cathartic release for both of them, which is a good thing it was mutual in the end.
At 6:03 (for gildedguy) and 6:23 (for oxob) both assume the same pose before they overcame their pain
Thanks for the clarification
It's not anymore a stupid fight, it's about will...
You were one of the twitch viewers? So you must be ready for story 30 then! ;)
5:50-5:57 This has got to be my absolute favorite parts of many. Seeing him push out his trauma and return to his true self is inspiring. Ngl got me teary eyed haha
Neat detail: Gold is one of the most efficient electrical conductors in the entire elemental table. In other words, Gold (GildedGuy) attracts Lightning (Oxob). Says a bit about the creator too, as Gold is also one of the most fragile precious metals, and given how clear and open Michael is with displays of emotion in his animations, I think it is an all-too appropriate comparison.
you need more credit for the research you did just for this one comment it tchally intering how the emotion from the them manifest with words
It is good attention to detail

Sheesh, guildedguy just won a fist fight against someone that could dent a tank with a punch
Well to be fair he was crippled
In other words, Gildedguy has beaten up a crippled.
It looked to me like guilded is immune to oxob’s electricity, and honestly GG is pretty physically strong to begin with. Remember how in the bog episode he did the twirly thing to cut away all the forest and reveal bog? That takes some serious strength. Inhuman really.
So the electrical immunity mixed with super strength and armor to absorb blows, oxob may have been doomed to lose from the beginning.
Also, I think oxob’s power to bust through a tank may have more to do with electromagnetism than his physical strength.

But I feel like many still misinterpret many parts. It’s not guilded a fault that they’re jumping to conclusions tho
*Sandvicth*
So GlidedGuy’s suit grounded Oxob’s electricity but he kept giving him more so his suit was empowered by Ozob’s powers to fight at his level? So Oxob was fighting a reflection of himself. Deep.
Woah, that just made something in my head click.
Time to write another essays worth of comments
He has plus and minus at the same time spark rock the light was coming from the electric and making oxobs memory to flood back but gildedguy is noding to oxob to know he was not gonna destroy his gloves like jade did oxob did the same but not take the weapon he had like jade did they had the same mind of jade
no
Wow
Gilded Guy is actually pretty powerful. Jade got beat as soon as GG got his sword and was able to go blow for blow in a fist fight with OXOB though both are severely handicapped. Only Bog and the Chef has been able to fight GG at his full strength.
Coming back here 4 years it is peak! Man glad I've seen this channel, for between 7 years and 8 year's ago.
That little detail of Guildedguy seeing Bog reflected in the sword right before using that big spin move he hasn't used since the bog-fight, was such a good touch. That and the purging bog from his systems bit before putting back on the gold gloves, is so fricken good! Origins was amazing man, but this one will always be my favorite, the lighting is so good.
Not sure if you meant this, but right at the beginning of the attack you also see bog
And when he was charged and fighting Oxib,you can see him look back as the Green Eyed Cowboy under the helmet,he has taken the ability and skill of the cowboy and incorporated him into himself
Gildedguy vs bog is truly my favorite
I'm a little late, but when he puts on his gauntlets, you see Bog's blood floating up from the top of his helmet.
Edit: not only that, but Bog's reflection in the sword again as he tries to retrieve it before seeing Oxob behind him in the reflection.

Every time I watch Gildedguy's latest animation it's almost like a personal milestone. Every time a new work comes out I'm a little older, a little wiser than I was before. Each first viewing is a perfect snapshot of who I was at that point in time, and I often am reminded of certain traits I had when I go back to view his previous animations.
I've been an ecstatic sugar-fueled Middle school student, an aspiring musician who couldn't keep a beat, a presidential buff, an actor, an author, a weightlifter, and everything in between. Now I'm here, as an adult reading up about Wagner. Yet despite all these changes, I keep coming back to see what Gildedguy has made next. And every time I get to that point, I've always learned something important that I didn't know before.
And you know what? I think everyone else here* is the same way.
*including Michael
Edit: I'm not going to be crushed if nobody sees this comment, but I thought of something fun I could do.
I'm going to go back to each of his major animations and comment something I learned at that time. This is more for personal fulfillment than anything
Like slush invaders

This is actually an amazing way to see it!
This is such a stretch and yet I can sorta relate to it. Gildedguy's animations are truly something else.

Look. I’mma be real here. I say that Gildedguy inspires me. A lot. I tell anyone I meet that I look up to him. Yet I’ve never been an animator. Only an appreciator of his work. I’ve always wanted to be an animator, yet I don’t think I know even the first thing about starting to attempt animation. My hype when the teaser trailer for this hit was already through the roof. But the actual thing?
That brought me to tears. And somehow, with each video, my resolve strengthens. Someday, when I’m ready, when I know what I’m doing, I *am* going to do what you do. Even if it takes 10, 20, even 30 years. Because with the kind of incredible, beautiful things you create for people, I can honestly say. There is no greater gift that you can give to this world. And it’s not just your animations, it’s you. You are a gift to all of us out here watching you shine and unleash waves of color and entertainment. So all of that to say, thank you. Thank you for what you do Michael. And I wish you the best of luck in all your future creations and endeavors. Keep shining, and may the “heart” in your “shiny art with heart” keep beating strong.

Didn't she also lose to him?
@@ultra3689 GG's armor does give him moderately enhanced strength and agility, and the armor is a decent (though not incredible) protective measure, but he was also without his sword when fighting Jade, which seems to be a decently unique weapon that not many (if any) other people do/can use effectively.
And real talk, if he were more creative with it, the Stellapen could be a really powerful utility item for all sorts of things.
well I don't think Jade has any powers other than her weapons, does she? And GG was unarmed for most of their fight: as soon as he got his sword she was at a disadvantage too. (though whether that's because he's stronger or because he caught her off-guard is hard to say...)
Ultra
IDK about that. It's clear that Gildedguy's armor can somewhat absorb and use his own enemy's attacks. He's also pretty good with his blade and is pretty improvisational with his fighting. I can see him at least fighting to a draw with fighters like Yoyo, Umbrella, and Yupia.

This portrayal of healing is beautiful. Even rewatching, I still get teary eyed when Oxob's bandages fall off after Gildedguy nods to keep fighting despite bleeding from his gauntlets

Wait why is he bleeding doe?
In story #4 the Bog was trying to control Gildedguy, having his hand have cuts to get inside him, which it did made it very painful wearing his gauntlets.
Keep fighting, bro, we need content

5:56 It’s him…the Legendary Super Saiyan!
This really makes me think of the old trope where two characters who have trauma are able to understand each other by fighting. The flip at 6:13 where oxob can see that gildedguy is fighting through his pain and from that point on the fight isn't out of anger but respect from one to another. Absolute god tier animation.
I agree
That part untell the end of the battle was beauteful, sad, and awesome
I just Notice that Oxob Nodded on that part
No its because bog got inside in story 4
i also agree.I love how gildedguy tells story and expresses feeling through the action but not words. (GOD TIER ANIMATION)
I actually cried at the end of the premiere, I remembered every past RHG and the glory days, the animation quality just made me feel so much. I know one can’t really compare to the past fights since, this is way too good, but i felt that spark of joy and excitement again when I first found the stick figure community. These aren’t sticks, they’re characters.
Well i mean thier still stick figures. Just more detailed. They still have the circke head and body. Just cause they arent lines doesn't make them anyless stickmen. Just gives em more form.

It's 4:24 AM and in a random day of the year and im re-watching this majestic animation.
5:48 this right here is probably the most emotional moment ever. Not only does he put on his finally on the gloves that have haunted him since that night. But theirs visual representation that he’s overcome the trauma he’s been through. As the lighting that was surging through his armor burns the acid away which you can see coming out of his helmet, it shows how much this fight helped him. When oxob see this, he can’t help but breakdown knowing that somehow this fight has helped him and realizes that maybe the same could happen for him. How his leg braces breakdown and removed the visual shackles holding him back to the camera panning up to see him crying. And it ties back to the reason this fight happened in the first place. All he wanted to do, was help him.
Btw, 6:49 was the face of a smile. Both of them fighting in their prime states at that point, nothing holding them back, and all the worry behind them is gone. It’s only Oxob and Gildedguy. And right now, this fight is the only thing that matters. And he can’t help as he sees the eyes in gildedguy to smile in return.
6 49,jotaro vs dio ora barage
Gimme a hug
All of this is true, but Oxob wasn’t crying, it seemed like a bunch of rain was just running down his face 🤣 but you may be right
Koray Arslan nah at 6:24 you can see tears in his eyes
hey don’t forget that Gildedguy isn’t fully worried about his magic pen he only realizes that he lost it after the fight and heads his way to the arena
Oxob: Harnesses the literal strongest force of nature at his fingers tips and can move at the speed of sound
Gildedguy: *_Yea but look at this glowstick_*
It do be like that
He can Adapt doe, that explains how he can catch up to Oxob
Gildedguy be like: lol pen go brrrr
I'm gonna have to go with gravity as stronger than lighting lol
@Radio Star huh guess you’re right
I love how gildedguy gets himself in trouble in each story due to his own stubbornness. And how nobody is ever the same person after encountering him. And he has this personality that can change the way you perceive everything in just within a couple of moments. Even if he has to go super saiyan to prove a point.
And I Also love how much weight each fight has. its not about just two dudes punching each other. Its about two people trying to conquer their past. (Thats how I saw it) Each fight has an underlining message that you can only get after watching it a couple of times. Its kind of poetic.
But bog was just being a dick. Not really stubborn. Basement busk was just him trying to get money to fix his armor(though it was broken in previous story due to having no manners.
honestly not all of them have been super meaningful(still an incredible work either way, but not all of them hold emotional weight):
story #1 is literally an argument about bacon doneness turned into a fight. important, certainly, but not really emotionally weighted.
story #2 is about Gildedguy eating too many snacks at a party and then fighting the person who set up said party because of it.
story #3 isn't a fight at all, and is just Gildedguy trying to make money for armor repairs at a music joint.
story #4 has emotional effects, what with the possession and mental habitation, but the reason it started is that Bog is an asshole.
story #5 and #6 I agree with you though, there's a lot of gravitas and emotion behind them both, and it's awesome.
@@RealLordShaxx well at least Bog's helping him now.... Only because GG was beating him internally. I will agree with you on the 1st part you said tho. My dude was trying to chill until Bog came out of nowhere XD
I have one question whoa did just turn Super Saiyan
@@andreasalgado3391, 6:02 and 6:07
this fight made me feel like I did during the prime of stick fights, so nostalgic and beautiful. well done, Gildedguy
Oxob: Dude, you need a band-aid for that.
Gildedguy: Nah, I'm good.
Oxob: I SAID TAKE IT!
Crazy slurpee XDDD
Gilded said no u
And like that the clash of both god happend
Oxob: Oi you destroi my bandage, now I destroi u >:(
@matthew bajarias I like dis story u guys are doing on glided Oxob:u destroy man bandage I destroy ur handy wags and u and Every Thing else u have over the bandage u just destroyed.. AAAAAGGGH and then.. oxob got beaten in the story.. like always
I've said it elsewhere- I'll say it again. You've done spectacularly as ever GG- like really. You and the production team have blown it out of the water and thensome. Can't wait to see what you guys make next!

Something that I just realized after rewatching and listening to this for years
In 3:24, if you pause and look at the frames before Gildedguy starts to spin, you can see Gildedguy’s shock or fear in his eyes, as if he’s staring into the reflection of Bog in his sword. You can still see it in his eyes in 3:32, with a look of doubt and worry if his attack is working, ands quickly shuts his eyes hoping it works (or maybe a raindrop got into his eyes idk). 3:38 But only after seeing Oxob adapting and dodging his attack, the lines around his eyes disappear. That’s some good attention to detail.👍
TLDR; lines around his eyes appear when he reenacts a move he did in Story #4, and goes away after doing a different attack.
You’re right, that’s a pretty good detail, but how did u even notice that it there for a fraction of a second 😅
Gildedguy: burns oxobs bandages
Oxob: so you have chosen death
But he didnt win soooo is.. it rlly death..?
Re think the one look look look (me: beats the shit out of oxob) (green eyed cow boy: dam) all the views: o_o
@@captainexpunged5022 bruh,it never said who won ;-; just because oxob was laying on the ground doce not mean he gave up and just got beaten, he was clearly tired and even gg was to -_-
@@user-zw2wq8jo2r oh come on now you see him legit breakdown when you see him losing the fight come on now and then you obviously see the tear in his eye when he's on the floor
Gildedguy: *reverse card*
The way they both smiled at each other mid-fight made me really happy, it's almost sweet
When?
Yeah that was wholesome
@@ajmoney49 I think 6:45 to 6:50
Loli St3althY yes
StarGazing _freak yeah it’s like they’re having ridiculous amounts of fun trying to kill each other lmao
To be honest, I never thought GildedGuy could fight like that. That's the thing, GildedGuy was never the most skilled or the fastest and I liked that about him. He beat his opponents because of his will and his mental strength, but seeing him fight like he's been doing it for years? Props to you Micheal this animation was superb.
I think he's growing as a fighter.
I mean, hell, it makes sense after all the stuff he's been through. He's been dancing on the edge of death after all.
I mean... He's a Slush Fighter isn't he?
Thats the thing, after fighting so many characters more powerfulls than he, he become a better fighter, i understand this fight was quite brutal and less mental, but I think thats becouse both characters had things in their minds that both wanted to take off. This was a discharge, not a duel.
@@bropil7545 Yes!!! Discharge indeed XD!
I think it's partly due to the green eyes cowboy look at 6:46
I love the effects when Glide guy finally puts on his golden gloves It look like He went God mode
Glidedguy with his sword: op
Glidedguy with his gauntlets: so u have chosen death
Thanos: imma just go to the next galaxy...
Me you must thanos or you’ll end up like your mcu version
I bet you guys didnt realize he typed “Glidedguy” didnt notice it at first too lol
Also glidedguy: gets beat up by Jaden
would this make him a sword fighter? a brawler? hes also used his capes for grappling and wrapping opponents.
is he a jack of all trades or is it just those few things...
When he said they'd be engaging in shock therapy, he really wasn't exaggerating...
What he meant was shock fighting
Donovan Roundtree *R/wooosh*
Hazel TheOne not really. The shock fighting line kinda makes sense to the joke.
tuananisanoob yet it also doesn’t
@@biggoofy but does at the same time
Gilded guys phone was on full charge for like three years after this
Lmfao
Does he even have a phone
@@potsy5263 That is not really woooosh worthy.

Oxob:just fighting
GG:uses logic
Words can't describe how good that moment was when Oxob's leg bracers fell off.
The entire thing has ENERGY in more ways than one, which is something I think we can all agree upon!!!
Fantastic work.
No electric jokes in here, they don't give out enough SPARK. Try to think of something more GOLDen next time.
Stop it,get some help.
