Episode 29: Henry (Henry Stickmin) VS Orange (Animator vs Animation)
LZ: Sic parva magna. Greatness from small beginnings. It's one of the foremost story tropes in all of history.
TWO: And beginnings don't get much smaller than this. I mean, what would YOU do if someone gave you a drawing of a stick figure and told you to turn it into one of the most memorable characters on the planet?
LZ: Whatever PuffballsUnited and Alan Becker did, I guess.
TWO: Thousands of hours of work programming and animating massive art pieces to function properly as stories? That doesn't seem like your style.
LZ: Yeah, I'd rather spend thousands of hours of work researching other people's characters to figure out who would win if they tried to kill each other. Way more useful.
TWO: I… er… fair.
LZ: Henry Stickmin, the Pure-Blooded Thief, Master Bounty Hunter, Toppat King, Government Supported Private Investigator, Timeline-Hopping Hero and Villain, et cetera and et cetera.
TWO: And Orange, The Second Coming of Jesus Christ!
LZ: That- that's not- that's just a lie. Why would you say that? It has nothing to do with this at all!
TWO: I'm LittleZbot-
LZ: You literally aren't.
TWO: And it's my hobby to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle!
…
Henry
LZ: Once upon a time…
TWO: In the far-off realm of fantasy known as Newgrounds…
LZ: A lone Stick Figure tried to break into a bank. He came up with the brilliant plan to tie himself up in a bank vault bag, and, once inside, emerge to steal everything he could. Unfortunately, his master plan was foiled.
TWO: By the most basic security measures ever. Come on, dude. Is there a bank outside of Mayberry that doesn't have cameras or alarms in the vault?
LZ: This stick figure was quickly arrested and sent to prison, where, a few days later, he would receive a mysterious package. Inside that package, there was a cake, and inside that cake, there was freedom.
TWO: Not freedom from his cell, nah. Well, okay, yes, it was freedom from his cell. But it was also freedom from only living his life based on the choices of others!
LZ: This was Henry Stickmin. And in that moment, he split the timeline into six paths. And every choice he made would split it again, and again. Multiverse theory is real, and it has a very unfortunate bank robber to thank for it.
TWO: Not that he's aware of it.[1] Okay, quick lessons all around. These are the Henry Stickmin games, a bunch of choose-your-own-adventure Flash games (eh, mostly), taking place on… Earth, with primary weapons of… guns, and allies and enemies like the… military and mafia… is this just Earth, but instead of humans, it's stick guy drawings?
LZ: Aside from the many, many film and video game references? Yeah. The stick figures even have organs and bones and stuff. We just can't see it.
TWO: Well, brilliant. So there's no actual thematic connection between these fighters, then? They just have mildly similar art styles?
LZ: There is one connection.
TWO: Oh?
LZ: They fought each other in Episode 3 of My Death Battle Attempts.
TWO: I can't believe this. Well, whatever. That cake was sent by the CCC, a secret military branch that watches over chaos theory and stops threats to the multiverse with a whole lotta nukes. They sent the cake to correct a timeline imbalance, and might've accidentally just made their jobs a million times harder. Okay, and now I need you to forget all about them, because despite the background story threads, none of that actually matters for Henry at all, ever again.
LZ: Within the cake was one of several possible items, and Henry could choose which one. After that point, this was the power he now had: the ability to choose his next course of action, and it always having some sort of effect on history, be it positive or negative. Every choice creates branching timelines, but, as Henry is the same person in all of them, and PuffballsUnited claims that all timelines are equally canon, we can take everything from all of them for the sake of this Death Battle.
TWO: Henry might just be some guy who wanted a quick buck, but through these timelines (and a good few years working for and against every organization under the sun) he'd rise up to become one of the most important people in the world. After breaking out of prison via cake shenanigans, of course.
LZ: Even without that interference, Henry has always been one of the most impressive stick figures around. He's strong enough to lift a one-ton diamond, fast enough to weave between chaingun rounds, and tough enough to take a car ramming into him and walk it off.
TWO: Oh, wow, you're, um, really holding back the good stuff until later, huh?
LZ: Well, you know me.
TWO: Right, but even that is inconsistent as all get-out-of-jail-free. Seriously, Superman, Green Lantern, Silver Surfer, Goku, Galactus? When it comes to inconsistent power levels, Henry's got all of 'em beat! We're talking about a guy who died from a fifteen-story fall, but survived one over twice that high. He couldn't dodge a pistol's bullet from twenty-five meters away, but could dodge every single round from a machine gun eight meters away, and even caught one of the bullets and threw it back, just for style points! And all four of those are in the same fifteen-minute flash game!
LZ: Luckily for Henry, the Death Battle ruleset favors him. In this show, we bring in characters at their maximum potential, and discard any and all anti-feats unless they're very specifically story-related and significant. Henry's games balance his power level by ranging between outrageously strong or outrageously weak, but here, we see what Henry is capable of at the peak of his potential. That includes actually using his devices properly, by the way.
TWO: Yeah, can we talk about those items for a second? It didn't stop at six in the cake. Ever since then, Henry's had a massive stockpile of weapons, devices, and random junk at the ready. It ain't quite the largest pile we've seen on the show anymore (thanks, Dead Cells), but at over 170 strong, you can bet that he's got the right tool for every situation.
LZ: Whether he stores them through some magical ability or through one of his mass-storage items, like a Purse of Holding or the Infini^3, Henry appears to have this entire arsenal with him at all times. Even after being locked away in prison, or taken hostage, or even drifting at sea whilst unconscious for ten days. There is no way to separate him from his arsenal.
TWO: I'm pretty sure that's just because the game dev didn't want to write excuses for the funnier options.
LZ: Yeah, but, hey, it's Death Battle.
TWO: Even when he doesn't have the perfect item, he has no trouble using what's around him. Like one time, when a rocketship he was supposed to be on was blasting off without him. He found an abandoned military tank, drove up to the launch pad, shoved the tank over so the barrel pointed at the ground, then fired a shot so the recoil would blast the tank high enough into the air for Henry to make a jump for it! Who the heck thinks of stuff like that?!
LZ: People who played GTA3?
TWO: Point is, every single time he's in some sorta sticky-wicket, Henry figures out the perfect solution in record time.
LZ: This impressive skillset, along with a solid understanding of swordsmanship and martial arts, has allowed him feats that would be impossible for most, even those who held his same arsenal. Such as escaping The Wall, the most highly-secure prison complex in the world, without a single person noticing; as if he had never been there to begin with. Or staging a one-man army against, well, an entire army, taking them out one chunk at a time until an entire country's military was forced to retreat in less than an hour.
TWO: So just imagine how much damage he can deal once his arsenal comes into the mix. Or how much money he can steal!
LZ: Some of his items are standard objects, planks of wood, catapults, expanding foam, things that may only be useful in certain situations, but are invaluable when you do need them. Luckily, most of his arsenal is a bit… more.
TWO: Flashbangs, rockets, an air gun that blows you away, rope launchers and grapple guns, electronic scramblers, a cookie that makes him grow huge, and bubble shields that'll block pretty much any attack. And that's the normal stuff; these are comedy games, after all, so of course it'll get wacky. Wanna turn into a fly? Take some Bug Juice! Wanna go invisible? There's a pill for that. Want a friend? How 'bout a robot version of Tails from those Sonic games? You want to fly, I hear? Oh, we got everything you could ever need, including a pair of literal wings! "No thanks, I just want a weapon," you say? Oh, boy, you, my friend, are spoilt for choice.
LZ: Swords, lances, guns, rocket and grenade launchers, explosives, a Hot Knife that can, and I quote, "cut through any material," and a chainsaw. That may not sound impressive, but this chainsaw is used in an RPG segment, where it does 7523 damage. And consider that Henry's own attack only dealt 209 damage in the same segment.
TWO: And Henry himself is strong enough to punch gunships into the horizon, knock massive satellites out of orbit, and hit a big ball of energy with a baseball bat hard enough to send it circumnavigating the planet!
LZ; Since the pressure of this energy ball alone could bend (not melt, bend) metal, it should be reasonable enough to say it has at least similar mass. Considering it navigated a circumference even wider than the Earth in just over five seconds, the amount of energy Henry would have struck it with would reach 235.9 Gigatons of TNT![2]
TWO: So, yeah, that's one strong chainsaw. But hey, if that kinda strength isn't enough, Henry's got a ton of buffs up his sleeve. Pills and sandwiches and adrenaline shots, oh my!
LZ: A bit of an upgrade from lifting a one-ton diamond.
TWO: Duh. Oh, but it goes so much deeper. Somehow, Henry's got access to every single piece of emergent tech as soon as it comes out. The LeafMöde, which transforms whatever it touches into a tiny leaf, the Shrink'n'Grow, which shrinks and grows objects, and Stretch Chewies, gummies that give Henry stretchy superpowers.
LZ: With these gadgets, Henry can change gravity, swap places with anyone he sees, transform into shadows, liquid, or paper, decrease his opacity to walk through walls, and summon an asteroid from the moon to shoot a giant laser that evaporates everything around him. Granted, that one takes a few hours before the asteroid shows up, but… I'm sure he could plan around that. Maybe.
TWO: Still not enough? Okay, good, 'cuz, like, half his stuff comes from other games, and we haven't touched on any of it yet. The Portal Gun and Gravity Gun make portals and grab/launch things with gravity. Guess which does which, I dare ya. Mario 64's Metal Cap makes him stronger and totally invincible for a bit, SpongeBob's Magic Pencil makes anything he draws come to life, and a pokéball grabs monsters and traps them in an alternate dimension forever, even glitches like MissingNo! It can probably capture regular animals and people, too; they do in the manga, and in both the anime and games, pokéballs literally capture ghosts and aliens. Oh, and yeah, all this stuff should be exactly comparable to how it is in the original media.
LZ: Like the T-45 Power Armor from Fallout, which can tank point-blank nukes and laser rifle fire that turn regular people into piles of ash, or the Sea-Breeze Boomerang from Wind Waker, which, just like its game, can auto-select multiple targets to hit and magically stun. Also from Zelda are three of its magic instruments: the Magic Flute from Link to the Past, the Wind Waker from, um, Wind Waker, and the Ocarina of Time from, well, you know.
TWO: These things can cast magic spells through song, giving Henry powers like changing the weather, making statues of himself, talking to ghosts, going back in time three days, and taking over someone's mind. Not just weak minds, neither; in its original game, this could control the minds of Medli and Makar, powerful sages that lend energy to the reality-warping Triforce! And hey, if three days isn't your style, what about an actual time machine the size of an alarm clock? Yeah, 'cuz Henry owns one!
LZ: The Nano Suit increases Henry's strength, fires missiles, and has a projectile-reflecting shield, the Cannon Ball is a giant hamsterball with lasers and a spiky defense mode, and his jet-powered scooter can fly through space and comes equipped with drills and battering rams. To be frank, why Henry even needs a vehicle is questionable; with his flight, strength, and speed, he's practically a human spaceship as-is.
TWO: He's reacted to beams of light and lasers quickly enough to reflect them, and dodged attacks from the Toppat Clan's Right Hand Man, even after the Right Hand Man was reborn with powerful cyborg implants. And he can dodge and weave through lasers while only at 10% of his power!
LZ: If he wants to go even further beyond, the NrG Drink vastly increases his speed and strength, to the point where time seems to virtually stop around him.
TWO: Only bad news is, it lasts about a minute or so… aaaaand Henry dies of a heart attack the second it wears off.
LZ: However, keep in mind, this is a Death Battle. The rules once again favor Henry; in a Death Battle, it doesn't matter if you die two seconds after your opponent, or even use a suicide bomb. If you killed the other guy by your own actions, choices, and weapons, then you win. This means that something like an NrG Drink is absolutely viable. As are some of Henry's other more… self-destructive moves, like gathering energy from around him in a Dragon Ball-esque powering up sequence until he erupts into an explosion the size of a nuke, or using a Sonic Pulse that explodes the heads of everyone who hears it.
TWO: I mean, if we're counting situations where everyone dies as a win, Henry can always just divide by 0 on a calculator. For some reason, that breaks apart reality and sucks everything away into the infinite abyss of nothingness. Fun!
LZ: Even without an arsenal on hand, Henry himself is a walking arsenal. He's outfought supersoldiers and learned the Avatar franchise's martial art of Earthbending, allowing him to mend all stone around him by moving his limbs with them. He even picked up the rare subtype of metalbending, doing the same for impure metals. He can shout his own Fus-Ro-Dah to strike foes with a blast of force, throw webs like Spider-Man, and see his foes in Fallout-style VATS vision. In its own games, this not only gives precise aim and listed percent chances for hitting specific spots, but allows the user to perceive events in slow motion whilst aiming, even slowing projectiles like electricity and lasers![3]
TWO: And if that seems like it's practically magic, that's because it is! Yup, Henry Stickmin is a magician, with fire, frost, thunder, and flashes aplenty, and Zero-Point Energy straight from Syndrome. That's the thing where he points at someone or something and it gets stuck in a field of blue energy, unable to move while he tosses it around like it weighs nothing. Oh, and he can teleport. In a move outta League of Legends, he bursts into light and reappears anywhere he wants. No clue why he doesn't use that more often.
LZ: And, just to top all that off, he has his own JoJo-style Stand. A spiritual being formed from his very soul, Henry's Stand, Reference, is even stronger than Henry, totally invisible to those without spiritual sight, and has the ability to force people into other timelines with a punch, where the effects of those timelines alter their body and augment their abilities.[4]
TWO: Holy crap. Someone getting just one of these abilities or pieces of tech would make them a busted character. Does this guy ever lose anything, ever?
LZ: Um, yes. A lot. A lot, a lot. Like, to the point where I fear we are doing a disservice to the character by taking him at his best.
TWO: Hm. Should we even it out a bit, maybe toss out some of our favorite big fails?
LZ: Sure, why not? One time, while stealing a diamond, Henry snagged a M4 Carbine from a guard, rolled in front of him, and proceeded to unload the full clip barely a meter from the guard's face. Ten seconds later, the guard was completely untouched. Henry had missed. every. single. bullet.
TWO: Oooh, I like the time he tried to bungee rope down an elevator shaft, but used a normal rope, so when it went taut, it just tore off his spine.
LZ: The one and only time he ever used frost magic, he froze himself into a glacier.
TWO: He hid in a prop bush, and when the bad guys burned it to test if it was fake, he stubbornly stayed in the fire until he burned to ashes.
LZ: While being forced to walk the plank six thousand meters in the air, he took out his chainsaw and cut off the plank he was standing on, hoping that the flying ship would fall and he would stay. Because he saw it in a cartoon.
TWO: Let's not forget all those times he had his buddy Charles crash his helicopter into him at full speed, killing them both.
LZ: Hey, that worked out! Once![5]
TWO: Ah, rest easy, Charlie. You had the greatest plans. Good thing we get a Retry button, huh?
LZ: Of course. Let me re-clarify, none of this means anything, none of it is taken into account because of Rule #3 of Death Battle. It's just… this is what these games are. And it's no fun to ignore that.[6]
TWO: Well, there's still plenty of silliness even in the successful timelines. Like Henry's Distraction Dance, a secret move where he performs a dance so fun and compelling even your sworn enemies are helpless but to dance alongside you. It's even more ridiculous than it sounds.
LZ: Or the time he ate a can of beans and farted so hard, he outsped a closing door.
TWO: Not just a closing door. One of the other options is the Warp Turbo Boost from LEGO Racers, which shoves your car through an alternate dimension to boost it ahead at warp speed. And those beans clearly outpace it. That's right; Henry Stickmin can fart faster than the speed of light!
LZ: And with the Speed Shoes, he gains the same speed as the blue blur himself, Sonic the Hedgehog. The same Sonic who flew from Earth to a nebula in three seconds, who broke out of trapped dimensions and entered other universes with speed alone, who reset the time-bending powers of Time Eater and outsped time itself.
TWO: Sure, it's maybe possible that that's only an on-the-nose reference, and doesn't give that same speed. Doesn't matter, though, 'cuz he's also picked up Kirby's Warp Star! You know, that piece of Kirby's soul that flies around shootin' star bullets, and is so fast that, in the Return to Dream Land Remake, it can literally travel through time?
LZ: With all this wackiness at his fingertips, Henry has pulled off insane feat after insane feat. There's a reason he's wanted (both as a criminal and as an employee) by both the American Government and their sworn rivals, the Toppats. He's survived being blasted through a spaceship hard enough to cut it in half, martial arts-ed his way to victory against a cyborg that could have killed him with one hit, and stolen all the most legendary gemstones in the world. Including the Norwegian Emerald, which might just be one of the Chaos Emeralds.
TWO: Those things that Sonic grabs seven of to turn into a Super Saiyan?
LZ: Yep. At least, if he doesn't have six more, it makes a pretty neat mirror shield.
TWO: For all those fails where he's super dumb, in every successful timeline, he's a killer strategist, and super adaptable, too. Every time a group of smart guys get in a room to make a plan, the right option is literally always for everyone else to shut up and let Henry think of something. He's so smart, he's figured out that he's in a video game! As in, the game you're playing, this world is a video game, and he knows it.
LZ: Not just knows it, takes massive advantage of it. He can lag the game out so he appears to be staying in one spot to everyone else while doing whatever he wants, abuse the wonky physics engine for things like clipping through walls and Skyrim-horse-ing his way up cliffs, or even turn on a walkthrough of his own game to tell him what to do next! With the CorrupTick, he can corrupt the game's files to cause massive game-breaking glitches, and, with the help of a friendly mouse cursor, alter his own body as if he were in Photoshop. Shoot, he can even "save the game" with a mere thought, and "load" it back up in a moment, returning him to that previous point in time. Even if that point in time takes place in an alternate timeline!
TWO: But the ultimate tool to take advantage of this comes from… a random one-off choice you can make in an action scene in the fifth game. Gmod's Tool Gun! Yes. He has it, and it works.
LZ: This "gun" is actually a computer mixed with a targeting system. Henry can input any of over three thousand lines of code, and these will alter the very game itself. Sure, most of these options are things like "Allow Direct3D to manage texture uploading at the cost of extra system memory" or "Show debug information for fish," but it still allows some rather god-like abilities.
TWO: Notable commands include stuff like "noclip," which allows ya to fly around the place and phase through objects, "impulse 101" which gives you every weapon in Half-Life 2, and "god" which makes you totally invulnerable to physical damage! If you're good, you can do all sorts of other stuff, too, like summoning almost any regular object in front of you, teleporting yourself and others, and even changing the physics engine of the game!
LZ: When used properly, the Tool Gun is perhaps the most dangerous item in Henry's arsenal. Aside from his own creativity and intelligence, of course. Who else can you think of who could fully repair and rewire the cyborg parts of another man so thoroughly that he now believes he's on your side, while under fire, in less than three seconds? It's no wonder that he survived through dozens of timelines and came out better off in almost every single one, even when virtually every avenue led to certain death.[7]
TWO: But remembs, all these timelines are technically canon. Just different things that coulda happened. So, since we take these guys at their best, it's pretty reasonable to look at the Betrayed timeline, where Henry became the leader of the Toppat Clan but gets betrayed and left for dead, like, a month later.
LZ: After being rescued by the brilliant Dr. Vinschpinsilstien, Henry's stick torso and left arm were replaced by cybernetic duplicates, allowing him to go on a rampage against the Toppats. And far from being weakened by the new body parts, Henry was stronger than ever before.
TWO: Well, duh, his new body can transform like a sci-fi robot! He can turn his arm into a flat lance or a laser gun, fly with a retractable jetpack, and even absorb energy attacks and shoot his own!
LZ: Which are so powerful, a single shot bore straight through the Right Hand Man Reborn's ultimate energy sphere, dispelling it and vaporizing him on the spot.
TWO: Remember the ball that went around the Earth? That one. Honestly, it's probably way stronger than that Gigaton-or-whatever thing we gave it. In a crossover with Among Us, Imposters can use this same laser eye energy that the Right Hand Man does here, and it's shown directly to be their strongest weapon. Definitely stronger than, say, their pistol, which, in a Vampire Survivors trailer, carved multiple planets in half.
LZ: Henry's exploits grew so vast and altered time so much, the CCC had to step in and start streamlining all the stray timelines, because Henry Stickmin was too good at everything he ever tried to do.
TWO: He's come a long way from breaking into that bank. Heck, he even called himself up a lawyer and got out of that charge, scott free, even though they had literal video evidence of him committing the crime.
LZ: Henry Stickmin has had few friends and many enemies, but, throughout trials, tribulations, and a good helping of luck, always made it to the other side. A little scarred, a little scared-
TWO: And a whole lot richer!
LZ: In life experience, and in monetary value.
TWO: …Do you have to work this stuff into everything? He's a cyborg stick guy, he's got a Stand, Gmod, and a taste for jewelry. There. Congrats, I saved you four thousand words.
LZ: I wish I had a helicopter to crash into you…
In the dark skies above the Dogobogo Jungle, a military helicopter circles the air, receiving signals from special operatives on the ground, and positioning itself perfectly for the planned assault. The pilot confirms his coordinates and altitude before turning back to his single passenger.
"I hope you don't mind helping us out again. I called ahead and got the all-clear from the General. I'm sure you've got a lotta questions. Don't worry; he'll fill you in when you arrive."
Henry Stickmin barely nods in response, mournfully chewing on the edge of a toothpick in a surprisingly successful attempt to look like an action hero.
The two hover over the drop area and view the rocketship they're working to destroy. The pilot continues to fill Henry in until the green light for the drop goes off.
"Alright! Time to drop!"
Henry spits out his toothpick, walks up to the open doors of the cabin and hangs off the edge. After waiting a brief moment, he allows himself to fall, eyes closed, head down, barreling towards the ground like a human missile. Shortly before the treeline, a parachute erupts from his back, and he slowly floats down to meet the rest of the invasion force.
One of the ground soldiers elbows another as they spot him. "Here he is."
A wave of murmurs passes through the camp. One soldier asks "Do you think he's as legendary as they say?"
Henry keeps his composure simple and focused, ready for anything as he comes down the last few meters.
And then he smashes into a tangle of branches, scratching his face, tearing off his parachute, and leaving him sprawled on the ground in the world's most awkward superhero pose.

Special Notes:
[1] Contrary to many fan theories, every piece of in-game and in-lore evidence indicates that Fail screens and branching timelines are exactly that, and nothing more. Henry cannot see the future, cannot see his absolute best options at every interval, cannot reset time after he dies, and is unaware of alternate timelines. The very few instances where he shows any potential for some knowledge (like using the Teleporter in Completing the Mission) are extremely vague and played off like jokes. Meanwhile, Henry can lock himself into paths that inevitably end in Failure after multiple choices, and canonically dies in one ending. PuffballsUnited also claims in his developer commentary that Henry's fails are direct alternative timelines.
You make choices for other characters, the narrator survives situations where all of reality is destroyed, Henry's soul is broken in three Fails, and you are only able to use and follow up on knowledge from timelines directly prior to current events. A couple of easter eggs are not proof of omniscience, especially with so, so, so much counterevidence. The only way he would have of gaining knowledge akin to this would be to watch a playthrough of his own game, which, while possible, is clearly something he rarely does and takes up far too much time to be useful mid-fight.
This is something I've never had to clarify for any other character, and probably wouldn't for any other Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Game protagonist. The fandom (and me, admittedly, back in the day) just… really likes making assumptions. This isn't a weakness. It's just, as far as I can tell, a misinterpretation.
[2] While Henry performed this feat in the Bretrayed timeline, where his left arm had been replaced with cybernetic technology, he braces the strike with his regular arm, which stood up to the pressure without injury. Meaning this must have been possible for him to do in all timelines, regardless of bodily enhancements.
[3] Henry knows Dragon Ball's Fusion Dance technique, with which he can fuse with another individual for 30 minutes. According to the Daizenshuu, even a base-level fusion would be stronger than SSJ3, a 400x power increase! Naturally, this requires the aid of an extra person, and so would be useless in a typical Death Battle. However, with the Duplicatorange, Henry can create an exact clone of himself, and should be able to perform the technique for a straight power boost.
[4] While many assume that Reference is exclusive to Henry's cybernetic transformations as a result of the "Spirit Forme" name, it is entirely unlike every other use of these cybernetics, Right Hand Man's Stand is not tied to his cybernetics, and Reference brings both Right Hand Man and Henry into a timeline where neither of them had their robot parts, their bodies updating accordingly, and Reference still existed and was able to be used. This all indicates that Reference is something Henry possesses on his own, and simply never used before for the same reason he never re-uses any of his other overpowered items and abilities.
[5] To get onto the Toppat Space Station, Charles rammed into it with a spaceship, crushing Henry in the process. They both survived. In one of the Fails, they attempt to get Henry there with an air bubble, but it runs out of air before he makes it. Calculating its size by Henry's and assuming as pure of breathing components as possible, he should have had enough oxygen to last around 81.24 Hours. Since speed is constant in space, we can get a speed estimate from the launch, and from these, determine the distance to be over 2600 km. To be fair, that doesn't line up with certain other endings, but whatever, when does anything in this game? Anyway, that ship hit Henry in 2.5 seconds, so, given its size and compositions, that would be an energy of 67.93 Megatons of TNT. More impressively, this only dealt damage to a very small area of the satellite, while Henry was able to withstand the physical pressure of a beam that smashed it in half in another ending. And yes, there should be pressure, because previous Toppat beam attacks have had physical pressure and weight to them. Comparing the figures directly, that beam now reaches 2.34 Gigatons of TNT!
[6] Henry's luck is notably unusual in that it lies at both ends of the scale. Rarely do things go as expected by any normal person, but either remarkably in Henry's favor or against. For example, while secretly infiltrating the Toppat Airship, he once decided, for some inconceivable reason, to jump a large gap that he could barely cross half of in a leap. However, while he was mid-jump, a flock of ducks flew by outside, causing the pilot to duck the airship and tilt in exactly the correct angle to allow Henry through. On the other hand, Henry once used his VATS system to target an enemy with a 95% chance of instantly killing them. He fired four times, and not a single bullet hit the mark. As we don't change luck values in Death Battle, Henry's luck evens out, generally, to average.
[7] The American Government is shown to have technology capable of complete mind control and melting bones from a great distance. As this is never used against Henry in timelines where he and the government are enemies, it can be presumed these do not work on him. This Note is short, so I'll throw in that the airship Henry metalbended would've weighed around 43.11 Million US Tons! Since, in the official Avatar franchise, you can Bend at the same speeds you can fight with, scaling this feat up to Right Hand Man's maximum speed would land at around 29 Exatons of TNT!

Orange
LZ: Once upon a time…
TWO: In the ancient days of Windows Vista…
LZ: A young boy named Alan Becker discovered he had two passions: digital programming and digital animation. And, with mentorship from another programmer over AOL messenger-
TWO: Oh, geez, this really IS the ancient days.
LZ: …he discovered a method by which they could be combined. Code that would bring his digital drawings to life and program them for specific tasks. Being the child of chaos all of us were, his first use was to create a program in which he would draw a black stick figure and set it to fight his computer cursor. He would do battle with JPEGs of guns and drawings of knives, and the greater the stick figure's moniker, the stronger it would be.
TWO: A self-made video game you can't control that has full access to your personal files and PC? Nah, I've never read that creepypasta before.
LZ: Who's the ancient one, now?
TWO: Well, he had fun for a bit, torturing his new kids, until he totally screwed up and named one of them "The Chosen One" just for kicks. Yeah, um, if you're making an enemy for yourself and its power is determined by the name you give it, maybe pick ANYTHING ELSE?
LZ: The Chosen One was unstoppable. Consuming essays, slaying foes like Clippy and the Mozilla Firefox, with a mastery of martial arts and strength and speed beyond anything humanly imaginable, there was nothing Alan could do to stop him. And, once The Chosen One removed Alan's only link to his programming mentor, Alan had no choice but to create a new stick figure, directly meant to destroy The Chosen One. But instead, the two of them just… teamed up and destroyed Alan's computer.
TWO: Now, you'd think that any reasonable person would stop drawing stick figures forever at this point. But to be fair, Alan Becker's never claimed that he was a reasonable person.[1]
LZ: Years later, Alan had kept up his passion for animation with a new computer, and, surprisingly, the monkey's paw had yet to close. Until he left his newest drawing, an orange-colored stick figure with an open-circle head, alone to do some laundry. Imagine his surprise (and everyone else's lack thereof) when he returned three minutes later to find his computer screen filled with living emojis drowning in colored water and a bunch of colored stick figures running around the screen.
TWO: Yeah, the orange guy'd found a Flash game where four colored stick guys constantly fought each other in hand-to-hand combat for funsies, and let 'em loose. All five of them were wrecking shop. Luckily, Alan's not a total moron, and starting deleting all these guys right away before things got even more out of hand.
LZ: But when he tried to end this new figure as he had all the others, it simply… didn't work. Even when Alan brought up the Windows Task Manager and attempted to remove his source program, the computer could not do it. This orange figure was, and I quote, "too resistant."
TWO: That's strike one of "resisting existence erasure."
LZ: And bringing up the Task Manager exposed why this figure could do such a thing, and why it had come to life in the first place. The window revealed the true name of the executable: The Second Coming.
TWO: See, like I said, Jesus!
LZ: Wha- THAT'S WHY? No! The Second Coming of The Chosen One! The other stick guy! He's a reincarnation of him!
TWO: Ohhhhh. That makes more sense.
LZ: What can I even- anyway, The Second Coming was hurt and angered at Alan for removing his newfound friends, and attacked the cursor that represented the Animator.
TWO: They fought a good while, wrecking up the desktop like the days of old, but, eventually, they found a kind of way to communicate. And they figured out that, unlike all those past stick guys, they weren't really that hung up on killing each other.
LZ: The Second Coming was different from his former self in more than just color. While The Chosen One only wished for destruction, The Second Coming wanted to create. Learn programming and animation, invent and contribute. Even the mess Alan had come back to wasn't caused by a want for chaos, but by the actions of a brand new life, exploring its surroundings and searching for a family.
TWO: And so, an unlikely friendship was born. Alan brought The Second Coming's new kung fu fighting friends back, and the five would form a free life together within the field of Alan's PC forevermore.
LZ: And, in permanent dissociation from his past life, The Second Coming chose a new name. A name that represented who he truly was: Orange.
TWO: …Really?[2]
LZ: Hey, his best friends are named Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Alan. At this point, it's a sign of solidarity.
TWO: Whatever. The five colored stick guys (and sometimes Alan via his cursor) lived on the computer and hung out like buddies. Sometimes, that's playing video games, or sitting on the digital desktop couch and watching YouTube. And sometimes, it's fighting gods and demons for the fate of the world. What, you thought this was always gonna be a chill series about some stick figures? We're over a hundred episodes into this anime, of course it's gotten crazy! They've been on more adventures than Gandalf and Luke Skywalker combined!
LZ: To handle such insanity as lies in the depths of the digital, Orange is, quite luckily, one of the most versatile fighters you will ever see.
TWO: Like every Hyun's Dojo-style stickman, he's a martial artist. Oh, but not your run-of-the-mill martial artist, he's the best there is. Remember, Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue are all masters of all kinds of martial arts. They were literally created and coded to be that. And Orange's beaten them all! At the same time!
LZ: Well, should he find that hand-to-hand combat not be enough, his true greatest weapon is his mind and knowledge of the computer he is a part of.
TWO: By the way, the series treats him like any anime where someone's isekai'd into a video game treats their main character. It doesn't matter that it's digital, it's real feats, and it translates to real-world metrics. Got it? Cool.[3]
LZ: Right, well, to continue with what I was actually talking about, take, for example, the time he battled the YouTube Video Player.
TWO: Told you it got crazy.
LZ: Hardly, yet. Regardless, as the Video Player had access to literally all of the content on YouTube, it was virtually undefeatable. So Orange converted Green into a file (as he's technically code from a Flash game), and uploaded that file to YouTube. Since the Video Player held access to all files uploaded, that meant Green was technically within the Player, and was thus able to destroy it from the inside.
TWO: He can do that kind of stuff no matter what he's dealing with. He's kinda known for being thrown into worlds he doesn't know with magic systems and weapons he doesn't recognize, then mastering all of it in minutes better than anyone who's there. And you should see a fight where he has to make and use those big-brain plans on the fly, within seconds of each other! It's like a dance, the way he blocks, invents, strikes, and counters. Good enough to make even Monty Oum shed a tear.
LZ: He need not go unprepared, as his coding and technical knowledge gives him the home-field advantage no matter where he is, even if he escapes into the internet or an attached phone. For example, he can bring up any Art or Animation program and utilize all its tools for himself. Like the pencil, which can create any object, creature, or concept with a drawn swirl, and immediately causes it to come to life. Or the eraser, which similarly removes objects from existence. Or loops for rope, square fill shapes for barriers and cages, and the copy-paste function, which duplicates anything. Including himself.[4]
TWO: And I'd say "good luck fighting someone while trying to do that," except he has. Multiple times. It ain't that surprising once you see he can tank being rammed by a full-speed train or a dip in lava, lift a grand piano over his head, and dodge literal beams of light and code!
LZ: That speaks to very little of his true potential. Animation isn't his only tool, he can access anything on a computer server, like anti-viruses, the recycling bin that erases data (instantly killing even souls), and several game consoles. When he entered the world of Pokémon, he raised an entire team of pokémon for himself, and took the title of League Champion of the Johto Region. Though, not before getting into a fight with Ethan, one of the strongest pokémon masters in the franchise, and surviving many strikes from his team, including the mountain-crumbling Machamp and a Shiny Gyarados that, in the anime, was suggested to be similar in power level to the likes of Groudon.
TWO: And he's got plenty of Full Restores for max healing and extra pokéballs that trap whatever they're thrown at in an alternate dimension forever.
LZ: With a full team of Gen II Level 100 pokémon, it's reasonable to assume Orange's team is powerful enough to best the secret Gen II Legendary Mewtwo, and he himself is certainly stronger than his pokémon.
TWO: Yeah, Mewtwo. Remember him? How super-duper-strong he was?
LZ: It wouldn't be out of line with his other video game-related feats, like fighting off three Super Marios at once. When he went into the video game League of Legends, he was attacked by the stick figure Purple after he had absorbed the full data of every single Champion in the game at once. Given when this video released, this would include the likes of Aurelion Sol, who created all the stars in the universe, and the Kindred, literal manifestations of soul-rending Death. Meaning that every strike from Purple should have effectively erased Orange from reality.
TWO: That's two strikes, now. And he beat 'im! Sure, with strategy and exploits, but taking a ton of hits from the guy and giving him trouble is still stupid levels of power.
LZ: And, as Orange saw how Purple did it and has full access to the LoL files, he should be capable of the same if he so wishes. Even just entering the game without that data gave abilities like flight, teleportation, frost manipulation, healing spells, and energy beams. Which, yes, do transfer out of the game. Everything he gets, no matter where from, is attached to him until he chooses to remove it.
TWO: And, since he's got full access to these games, he's also got full access to all their items and power-ups, plenty of which he's used. Like the Hammer from Donkey Kong, the statue-transforming Tanooki Suit from Super Mario Bros. 3, the dimension-hopping door from Doki Doki Panic, and the ghost-killing Power Pellets from the OG Pac-Man. Or he can just pull up the classic cmd32 window (or a random arcade machine) and reprogram the computer to put him in any game, show, or website he wants, then reprogram that however he wants.
LZ: But his most iconic, most prevalent, and possibly most powerful, is the Minecraft Game Icon. Also known as: The Minecraft Block.
TWO: As in, the block that's in the Minecraft icon on your desktop. Holding this thing gives our little Vitamin-C dose access to an infinite amount of every block and item in the video game Minecraft, a practically endless inventory space that works even when he's not using the block, and the ability to interact with the rest of the digital world like he's in Minecraft! Pickaxe-ing his way through windowed borders, crafting programs together, finding new dimensions, enough stuff to literally have a three-seasons-and-still-going show just about his adventures in Minecraft!
LZ: Sure, his first time using the block ended with one of his friends possessed by the ghost of Herobrine-
TWO: Yes, we know, it was 2015.
LZ: Which led to him deleting the game in order to kill the soul-
TWO: Told you that recycling bin could do it!
LZ: …but one Start Menu shortcut later, and it's all back, and even better than before. The amount of adventures he and his friends have had and feats they've performed only surrounding this one game is astonishing. Battling the Orb, which can create any object and imprison your soul. Taming a Warden, Minecraft's ultimate monster that can annihilate any adventurer in seconds, and riding it like a pet bull. Ricocheting a skeleton's arrow so hard, it dragged several monsters around a circumnavigation of the entire realm and hit Orange in the back of the head in just a few seconds. Despite the realm's length being, you know, infinite.[5]
TWO: With that block, he's got everything he could ever need. Including endless indestructible building materials (even to him) that he can make giant super-complex structures with in seconds. So complex, he once made an entire functioning platformer game, cartoony graphics and everything, out of torches, redstone, and regular Minecraft blocks, in less than two minutes! Heck, he's probably as good as Green, who made Minecraft in Minecraft! Or, who needs building blocks when you have Barriers, invisible "blocks" that recode the game to be completely impassable, even to spirits, and can't be broken or destroyed.
LZ: Outside of that, Minecraft does hold a large arsenal of items. Potions of Healing, Invisibility, Strength and Swiftness, Elytra for flight, shields that block all attacks, Diamond and Netherite Swords and Armor that can injure and protect others just as powerful as himself, Milk for status effects, Ender Pearls for teleportation, bows with unlimited arrows, and Totems of Undying. Should Orange somehow be killed, one of these totems will immediately bring him back to life. No muss, no fuss, no wait, just get right back into the fight. Even some modded or homebrew content is shown available, such as Teleportation Beacons that can transport you through the multiverse or write people out of reality, throwable Transformation Potions that turn you or others to grass, stone, fish, dust, golems, dragons, whatever you want really, and a Watermelon Sword that can kill any living creature in a single hit.
TWO: But that's the hardened ends of the french fries at the bottom of your Wendy's bucket compared to the Command Block. Yeah, no joke, it's in that show, and even though they destroy it in the sixth episode, they got another one from another computer later, so it's still very much a thing.
LZ: Inside of Minecraft, the Command Block is normally capable of inputting coded commands that change the nature of the game. As for how the show has interpreted this, well…
TWO: Imagine the Infinity Stones. But in Minecraft. And on a staff to turn it into a magic wand.[6]
LZ: Changing the weather, spawning an endless amount of monsters, teleporting or transmogrifying any object, person, or place, warping reality around you, creating energy barriers even more impenetrable than Barriers, altering intelligence (even removing it to induce brain death), instantly killing anything you point at, or just giving anyone, including Orange, access to the abilities of "Creative Mode," a Minecraft alternative gamemode where the player can fly, place or break any object with a touch, and has "complete protection from death." Quite similar to the Minecraft Block, with no need to be holding the item. And should two Minecraft Blocks be fused and set upon a staff, they shall create a block even more powerful than all of the above combined, plus the power to shoot a giant kamehameha beam of dark energy that uses all that endless power to kill whatever's in front of you.
TWO: Sounds crazy. And it is. But Orange fought it. And won. At one point, he matched blows with the super-block when it was swung at him… by kicking it. Yeah, no big deal, I guess! Geez, if he's that strong, why is anything ever any trouble for him? Why is he always getting punched around by the new threat of the week in every new video? I'm sensing some comic book-style sliding power levels, here.
LZ: Sure, there's some of that, but Orange is generally not only fighting without his equipment and extra powers, but against beings just as absurdly strong as he is. Like the Victim, who can edit reality in the same manner you and I can edit images in Photoshop, or an arachnidian Virus that deletes your code with a mere touch, or Euler's Identity. Yes, the literal mathematical equation. It came to life and tried to kill him.
TWO: To beat it, Orange harnessed the mathematical concept of Infinity, and put it in an undetermined function equation. Like, those things that mediate numbers and sohcahtoa? Yeah, that.
LZ: And I thought I was supposed to be the smart one.
TWO: Jerk. And don't pretend that every kid doesn't learn this stuff in middle school.
LZ: Touche.
TWO: Anyway, how is that useful, you ask? Well, it's pretty useful IF YOU CAN PULL MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS OUT OF REALITY AND USE THEM AS GUNS!
LZ: Yes. Orange literally took the summation and weaponized it. Since functions determine the relationship between two inputs, this specific one was expanded through 9tan(pi*x), an exact counter to Euler's Identity. Which counters via bullets, solving all equations that could be created with it. Or just injuring people like a regular weapon, because why not. But by placing the mathematical concept of Infinity as the definition, these "bullets" covered an infinite range with infinite power, reducing everything to zero. And I do mean everything, even the borders of the dimension and Orange himself weren't inherently safe from this. A strike to a geometric area added entire mathematical dimensions to it!
TWO: Until Euler's Identity caught the infinity bullet and simplified it into a limit integral. A GIANT SWORD LIMIT INTEGRAL FORGED THROUGH THE BASE OF INFINITY.
LZ: Which Orange dodged, blocked, and survived hits from.
TWO: He dodged. Infinity. He blocked. Infinity. The literal mathematical concept of Infinity punched him, and he got up and punched back.
LZ: And that wasn't even the toughest foe he ever faced. When The Chosen One returned from the depths of the internet asking for help, Orange found himself facing a threat that could take out all digital existence, everywhere. The being Alan had originally created to stop The Chosen One's rampage: The Dark Lord.
TWO: Who'd spent all these years getting all the best dark knowledge from the depths of the internet. Ravaging Newgrounds, beating The Chosen One within an inch of his life, and making endless copies of those one-touch-kill viruses. Even with all his hax, all his friends, and new code being written in all on his side, Orange didn't stand a chance.
LZ: But when he was stabbed by a dark lance that should have erased his body, soul, and very code itself, he held on. When his friends were killed in front of him in a show of power, he held on. When he was overwhelmed with viruses, impaled by dozens of attacks capable of rewriting and disintegrating The Chosen One himself, he held on.
TWO: This got intense for a kid's YouTube series about little stick guys.
LZ: Eh, it matured with its audience.
TWO: Also, strike three.
LZ: You're out. At least, the Dark Lord was, as this was too much to bear for Orange. Not physically, but emotionally. With a soundless cry and a burst of energy, he revealed exactly why his true name is "The Second Coming."
TWO: By entering a super-state with green stars where his eyes would be and all the powers of The Chosen One! Man, did we predict this back in the original terrible version of this episode, or what?
LZ: It's not quite the power of The Chosen One. It's far beyond. Not only can this new form fly-
TWO: That's what, seven different ways we've listed that he can fly, now?
LZ: And has a massive increase in all stats, but also new abilities like telekinesis, energy projection, laser vision, and the ability to connect to command consoles and rewrite the code of the world. This particular ability is so extreme, he was able to bring all of his friends back from the dead. Not just dead, deletion, as in, their code, their literal existence was gone, and he brought them back.
TWO: He took The Dark Lord out to the trash with no effort. He was better than him in everything. That includes speed, by the way.
LZ: Which is impressive, as, at the end of Animator vs Animation III, The Chosen One and The Dark Lord flew around each other so quickly, it created a black hole. Assuming this was forged by the wind in their circle gathering enough energy to collapse into a gravity well, we can calculate the minimum level of speed that both stick figures must have been flying at to form a black hole of this size. That speed being approximately 6.68 Sextillion MPH; around 9.96 Trillion times the Speed of Light!
TWO: I'd say that's pretty crazy, but, I mean, he did dodge Infinity.
LZ: Even without that super form, his physical limits are, indeed, virtually non-existent.[7] Like when he flew through the center of a singularity so strong, everything was broken apart at the subatomic level, and not only survived, but made it to the central core, a literal infinite distance away, where he found an Einstein-Rosen Bridge.
TWO: Isn't that the thing they called the Bifrost in the first Thor movie?
LZ: I- yeah, I guess? This bridge is a portal that connects every point of space and time, allowing not just teleportation, but time-travel and alteration. Seeing one of these is the equivalent of standing outside an entire timeline!
TWO: And he spun it! Like a merry-go-round. Even the text on the screen calls it infinitely long, and he played with it like a toy! Rewinding time, cradling solar systems like babies, and changing the bridge to any of the six big string ones. And thanks to that bridge, he could grab the 1-Dimensional Strings of String Theory and form them into literally anything, of any mass, technology, concept, anything, and then put them wherever and whenever he wanted. Who needs Minecraft now?
LZ: And, technically, since he knows its exact location and structure, he should be able to get to the bridge anytime he wants via Command Block or LoL teleportation. Or just make his own with the pencil.[8]
TWO: That'll probably come in handy the next time an evil king decides to blast you in the face with that Multi-Minecraft Block kamehameha.
LZ: Which Orange survived and resisted against. Even though that exact same energy attack was currently destroying the infinite Minecraft multiverse. Just in case you thought the infinite-power feats were exclusive to the educational videos.[9] Heck, in another crossover, he killed Pac-Man with a single strike. And Pac-Man is strong enough to survive and destroy Spectral Rifts that could annihilate two universes at once!
TWO: I can't friggin' believe it. He's a stick guy! He's named after a fruit that only exists to make juice! How is this… thing so badass?!
LZ: That super form, that arsenal, that absolute, steadfast refusal to roll over and die is not, however, Orange's greatest power. That lies in his simple ability to turn enemies into friends.
TWO: *sigh* I mean, I guess it is a series for children at the end of the day. He's basically got the personality of a ten-year-old kid, with all the curiosity and wonder and stuff that comes with it. Probably shoulda figured it wouldn't stop at just making buddies with the Animator. Don't know how you turn a multiverse-shattering genocidal maniac into a guy who gets on his knees begging your forgiveness, but somehow, Orange and his friends always seem to do it. His giant and ever-growing list of friends.
LZ: Though, if you are truly unrepentant, and incapable of seeing the power of mercy-
TWO: *cough* maybe they call him "The Dark Lord" for a reason *cough*
LZ: Then he will use every trick, every tool, every single thing he can think of to put you down and make sure you will never be able to hurt anyone else.
TWO: Maybe it's fitting that his chosen name is Orange. Simple. Honest. Good for you. And absolutely, 100% capable of beating you into pulp.
The battle of the bands has escalated to all-out musical war.
Green by himself faces Red, Yellow, and Blue, plus a random chicken, and all of his opponents have drunk self-invented Potions of Musicality to raise their rhythm and instrument knowledge to superhuman levels. What started as simply tapping Minecraft Note Blocks has become enormous stages of different materials to provide as many sounds, tones, and pitches as possible, constructed piano blocks, levers for trills, and, finally, self-made electric guitars from brick trim, wool, and Note Blocks struck with enchanted electricity.
The pulses of the beat shake the desktop. The blows of musical notes clashing break the sky. The songs performed begin to merge, colliding with and complimenting each other, like a tornado of sound and fury. Two songs become one, and yet no aggression is lost, and no competitive spirit has dulled. If Green had a mouth, it would be foaming as he struggles to match four superhuman performances on his own.
Fifteen meters away, Orange, in his small, self-made Minecraft house, tosses and turns in bed, screaming silently as musical war is waged at 2 AM.
The pitches heat up and the songs come to a head. Green puts his all into one final riff. The chicken matches it perfectly…
And Orange slams in from the sky, wielding his own electric guitar, constructed on the way down as he jumped, and silences everyone with a single, all-consuming note.
The rest of the cast stare in awe as Orange effortlessly reproduces and overcomes all their previous best efforts, playing two riffs at the same time at such levels of power and awesomeness that lightning rains from the sky to set fire to their stages, and a pulse of musical energy erupts that destroys their instruments.
Orange finishes his riff, leaving dead quiet in the air as everyone else drops what remains in their hands, unable to compete with him. Satisfied, he leaps off the stage, drops his guitar, and stumbles back into his house, collapsing into bed, and finally getting a little sleep.

Hey, remember that Flash game based on the first two videos? I couldn't really find a way to talk about it, but it was pretty bad, I guess
Special Notes:
[1] Alan Becker made a video not long after Animator vs Animation III that includes The Chosen One reawakening and destroying yet another computer, but the storyline featured in future mainline entries implies that this is likely non-canon. This note is short, so I might as well fit in that while Orange's weight was measured to be 50 kg in Animation vs Physics, that was when he was holding a 1 kg ball. So, he's 49 kg. This is why you never ever do research by reading fan wikis.
[2] Alan Becker officially now refers to the Orange stick figure as "Orange." It's his name in video titles and descriptions, official art and toys, and Director Commentary. In Animation vs Minecraft Episode 31, he is shown referred to in his literal code to be named "Orange." His executable file was called "TheSecondComing . exe" in his very first appearance and in Animation VS League of Legends, but the vast majority of official anything calls him "Orange." His name is Orange. Additionally, while none of the characters have directly confirmed genders, all of them are referred to with he/him pronouns on Alan Becker's second channel.
[3] Orange and his friends may be digital beings, but the stories make it clear that they do have physical presence and interact in their world in an analogous way. Their height and weight is transferable as it would be if they existed in our world; Animation vs Physics makes this extremely explicit. It is best to imagine their world like its own universe, and their interactions with it akin to a magic system. Think of Wreck-It Ralph, or The Matrix, or Sword Art Online. It's the same concept for the Animator vs Animation series. It just has a different visual style. Additionally, Animator vs Animation VIII and onwards, several Animation vs Minecraft episodes, Animation vs Arcade Games, Animation vs Physics, Green's entire channel and all related videos, and Animation vs Geometry all make it clear that the stick figures do live in a 3-Dimensional world and interact with it as such; it is just presented to us often as 2-Dimensional for the sake of visual flair.
[4] None of the Art tools are required to be used within the program itself. Orange has taken plenty of items, tools, and power-ups out of their games and into other worlds, and directly uses the pencil outside of any art or animation programs many times. While earlier videos show the pencil requiring precise detail to create drawings, later on these rules were greatly relaxed. Orange even draws a flying electric eel in the air just by waving the pencil in a squiggle and thinking about an electric eel! The pencil can also edit some parts of reality; for example, the second Faces short showcases that the pencil can be used on a stick figure to give them a face, and whatever personality or emotion the face implies will become that figure's own personality.
[5] There is evidence both for and against the typical Minecraft Realm being infinite in scope. Globes and cartography blocks are available to craft in-game, there are trailers for spin-off games that show the world in outer space, and the day/night cycle would not be possible in an infinite realm except through magical means. Meanwhile, the end credits explicitly clarify that the Minecraft world is infinite, it has been stated to be infinite in interviews, and Minecraft: Story Mode showcases the world as made up of infinite layers, ending horizontally at the Far Lands, which expand infinitely outwards. Regardless, each Minecraft universe is clarified as infinite even in supporting material, and the realms Orange and his friends visit in their show have frequently been shown to be neverending, with the only possible end or escape to be found being a portal into a different universe or realm.
[6] While the Command Block normally requires direct input and activation triggers for every command, this is not the case when it is embedded into a magical staff, as shown in several episodes of the show. Wielding the staff, anyone is able to force any command (or any action if using the regular Minecraft Block) with only a thought. Also, should Orange be killed by Minecraft-related means (such as running out of hearts or sleeping on a bed in the Nether), he will instantly respawn at the last game-style spawn point. Animator vs Animation VIII, however, marks clearly that this only works when he is within a Minecraft world or affected by Minecraft items. Animation vs Minecraft Episode 30 also shows that the Multi-Minecraft Block can overcome this respawn mechanic, and soul manipulation by the likes of the Orb can circumvent it.
[7] Orange can also increase his strength by adjusting his size, as shown in the "Arm Wrestling" short, and alter his properties mathematically by pulling out equations and geometric spectrums and adding them to himself, as shown in "Animation vs Math." He can retrieve any object he desires just by seeing a picture of it online, as shown in the "Lightsabers" short. Yes, he has lightsabers. He has frequently entered the files of games and programs he encounters, and manipulated them freely. He could even rewrite all reality in League of Legends just by reaching into the game icon and mentally adding and removing lines of code. There was also one time where he found an actual Minecraft Player whilst exploring another dimension, and leapt through the player to enter that person's desktop. No idea how to explain that one.
[8] Without access to the Einstein-Rosen Bridge, Orange should still hold similar control over time and space through the powers of League of Legends Champions like Zoe and Bard. The Multi-Minecraft Block fusion may also grant some abilities like this; King Orange (totally different guy to our Orange) was destroying realities that took place in the past whilst using it, and restored dead Titan Ravagers from nonexistence, complete with their previous memories.
[9] In a YouTube Short, King Orange wielding the Multi-Minecraft Block and The Dark Lord were shown to be on similar power levels. This was revealed to be in the imagination of Yellow and Green, and so can't be directly taken as fact. It should be mentioned, however, that Yellow and Green have both faced both King Orange with the Block as well as The Dark Lord themselves in extended fights, and knew their power levels quite well. This short, along with Animation vs. League of Legends, also confirms that Animator vs. Animation and Animation vs. Minecraft do take place in the same timeline, for all you conspiracy theorists out there.
…
All right, the combatants are set, and we've run the data through all possibilities. It's time for a…
Death Battle!
…
Guarding is a sleepy job.
That was the entirety of what thoughts entered Orange's head for the last half an hour as he struggled very hard to stay awake.
It had all started innocently enough. He and Blue had taken a long journey (well, not that long, but longer than it should have been) back to Ravager Village in search of some sort of spice the Village Chef had. That was why Blue went, anyway. Orange had gone with because, well, look at what had happened the last time Blue snuck off to the Nether alone.
That was fine. What wasn't fine was Blue leading the entire village as an army to war against the Evoker Coven, leaving Orange as the sole guardian of what the Coven was after: the newly-mined Ravagian Sapphire. Named after the village, of course, it was a blue gem about twice as tall as Orange, and, according to one villager, worth enough to purchase half the End. If the Ender Dragon wanted to sell half the End, that is. At first, Orange had taken to this duty diligently, with a smart salute and an enchanted diamond sword. Blue had shaken his hand and left with the army, and Orange had proudly begun marching back and forth inside of the newly-constructed vault doors.
That was four hours ago.
Hence, where we began: Guarding is a sleepy job.
Surely, a little snooze wouldn't hurt. Nobody had been here for the last four hours, why would they show up in the next five minutes?
Nobody would notice.
Even if they noticed, they wouldn't mind.
Even if they minded, Orange wouldn't care.
And that was about how far Orange got before he fell asleep.
…
Ten minutes later, if he had been awake, he would have heard a sound very much like a motorcycle approaching. It got louder, and louder, and louder, until it was loud enough to wake the dead. But Orange wasn't dead, and he definitely wasn't awake. The sound came to a halt for a brief moment… only to explode as the vault door was smashed to pieces, a souped-up scooter crashing through it and shattering the protective glass around the sapphire.
Orange snorted in his sleep.
Henry Stickmin saw the sleeping stick figure, and glanced about in shock and worry. He ultimately decided not to let gift horses bite, and quietly stepped off the scooter. Instantly, his motion was detected by a surprisingly-advanced security system, and dozens of alarms and flashing lights blared wildly.
Orange mumbled and turned over.
Henry chose to ignore the louder-than-god alarms. He tiptoed past the sleeping guard and into the casing for a sapphire that was larger than him. No trouble. He waved his hand, and a tiny mechanical chip, the Shrink'n'Grow, appeared in his hand. He placed it on the sapphire, and in an instant, it was only about the size of a nickel. He scooped it up, humming about his big payday, and tiptoed his way back onto the scooter.
He turned on the engine, which roared with, somehow, even more fury than it did when he approached. Henry almost gagged at the noise, but a glance down revealed that Orange was apparently having a lovely dream about marshmallows.
Thanking all the luck in the universe, Henry zoomed ahead, and down a mineshaft that, hopefully, would lead to the outside at some point.
On its way, the scooter scooched over a patch of nether wart, crushing it.
In less than a second, Orange was up, sword at the ready, yelling war cries that were inaudible to all ears.
Henry gasped and took off, increasing the scooter to top speed.
Orange glanced around, what had happened becoming all-too apparent. He clapped his hands against his head in bemoanment and regret, then shook his head. He'd made a mistake. He just had to fix it. He just had to get the sapphire back. Not hesitating a second longer, he ran into the mineshaft, following the whirring scooter. He was slow, too slow. But hey, what else were all those minecart-chasing competitions for?
He jumped into the air over the minetrack and scrolled through his inventory, plopping down a minecart just as he landed. Now huddled inside his own vehicle, he pulled out a firework and set it off, giving the minecart a running start to catch up with the thief.
Henry saw the minecart now chasing him, and the orange figure with a blue sword charging to take his head off. He swung an arm around, grasping a pistol out of what seemed like the air itself. At the same time, the Orange figure pulled out a polygonal bow and nocked an arrow.
-FIGHT!-
Henry ducked under the first arrow and returned fire with his pistol, one hand still on the handlebars as the scooter followed the minetrack. Orange blocked the bullet with his shield and attached a firework to the back of his minecart, rocketing the minecart forward much faster. Henry threw a Metroid at the drawing, who sliced the murmuring alien cleanly in half with his diamond sword. He earthbended the dirt path closed behind him, but a swing of a diamond pick was all it took to clear the path again.
Henry was forced to drop his weapons as the scooter came up upon a sheer dirt wall. A button press engaged a drill attachment, tunneling through the dirt as easily as air. Henry smirked at the thought of the drawing behind him struggling without a track, but these thoughts were dashed as he heard what seemed to be the sound of whirling blades behind him. He chanced a look back, and saw Orange placing track on the ground an instant before the minecart reached it. Literally building his own path.
Henry's eyes bugged a bit and he activated warp on his scooter, now realizing some scope of who he was up against. The scooter burst ahead as a mass of light, utterly annihilating the dirt path and shaking the riding stick man to his core, enough that his two-dimensional teeth fell out (the three-dimensional ones were fine, though!) and one of his arms started on fire. The scooter burst out from the mines and into the sunlight, where it gasped past the lower branch of a tree. One that Henry decidedly didn't miss.
Henry gagged and fell to the ground, his left on-fire arm falling off like a cartoon, but a moment later, was thrilled not to be on the scooter as it promptly rocketed itself into the sun with a snuff.
A slowing minecart creaked out of the cave his scooter had made and came to a stop. He heard the orange figure get out, and his grassy steps approach him. He tried to get up, but, uh, yeah, that was a bad idea. And now he was here. And now there was a sword at his neck. Great.
Reference leapt out of Henry's back and punched Orange in the head. The world fizzled and warped, and the two of them were transported into another timeline. This timeline was much like the first, but here, Henry had been betrayed by a certain hat-wearing clan, taken revenge, and escaped with his life. His left arm twitched, restored with cybernetic enhancements, and he jumped to his feet, energy replenished and ready to keep what was his.
Too late, apparently, as the orange figure clutched his sore head with a fingerless hand that, nonetheless, held the sapphire.
Blade Forme!
Henry's cybernetic arm transformed into a lance-like blade and he swung a mighty blow at the drawing. Orange barely saw it coming and jumped into the air, the blade whistling under his curled feet. Orange landed on Henry's other side, turned, ducked under another swing, and tried to counter with his own sword. Henry misjudged the strike and turned it, striking the sapphire instead and flinging it up into the sky.
Orange turned his wrist and swung his sword to the left at the same time that Henry rebalanced his arm and swung his blade to the right. The two crossed and collided perfectly, forming an X shape against the sky. For a moment, neither moved, judging the other, their skills, and what they would try next.
The sapphire landed on the center of their crossed blades.
Orange made the first move, pulling the Diamond Sword backwards and pushing Henry's Blade Forme towards the ground. The sapphire dropped from the air, but Orange had kicked at the same time he pulled his sword, and the foot slammed the sapphire high into the air again, reaching the clouds. Henry straightened his cybernetic body, taking the momentum of Orange's push and forcing it into a thrust at the stick figure's legs. As Orange's foot came down from the kick, his back foot skidded to the side to dodge the thrust, and the two motions caused Orange's entire body to swing around like a pendulum, putting him the the left and behind of Henry.
He swung the sword, shifting his footing so the swing had all its power, and Henry's blade struck up, skittering its tip and barely deflecting it in time. Orange had another swing in before Henry could blink, but Henry was expecting this one, and blocked it with his own blade, then took advantage of the bounce to thrust through an opening. Orange was still faster, so he was able to pull his torso back and just out of reach. The sword came down, clanging against the blade and shoving it away, then up, blocking Henry's attempted counterstrike, then swung in from the left, a strike blocked as Henry's robot arm shrunk itself in to get the blade where it could intercept.
The sapphire fell again. Time seemed to almost slow as it reached the air in between the two fighters. Henry used all his strength to push Orange's blade back, and Orange, surprised at the burst of strength, actually stumbled and fell down. Henry jumped, lunging over his body, not to attack, but to grab the sapphire. Orange took advantage, and brought his feet together, punching himself upwards with enough momentum to bring him back to standing. But, as Henry was in the way, this instead threw his body off, injuring a small piece of cyber tech and knocking the wind out of him. Orange swung his sword upwards to catch the sapphire, and barely did, the jewel bouncing a little on his flat-sided sword.
Henry jumped backwards and activated his jetpack, adding the driving speed to his lunging swing to knock Orange's sword out of his hands. Orange thrust his sword upwards just enough to send the sapphire a few meters up, and blocked the lunge, twisting the opposing blade to the left and leaving his chest vulnerable. The sapphire landed on his sword again, and Orange saw the sudden forme of Reference reaching for it. Orange pulled back and swung the sword at the suddenly-counterattacking blade, pushing the both of them a little away from each other. The sapphire slipped from his sword as he made the move, but a thrust of the left knee and it bounded up to eye level again.
Orange, in a flash of inspiration, swung his sword's flat at the sapphire, striking it with enough force to be launched at Henry as a projectile. Indeed, it burst through the air with a sonic boom, more than sturdy enough to take the hit, and struck Henry in the head. While the strike only dazed him a little, the hit had been angled and given enough power to bounce the sapphire back after striking. It arced toward Orange, who simply struck it again, hitting the same spot and eliciting an annoyed and pained grunt from Henry. Then again. And again. Like this was the batting cages, and Henry the target. Until the stick man had enough, and shifted his blade into a baseball bat. He tracked the projectiled sapphire instantly and slammed it, the air almost fracturing at the strength of the blow, launching the gemstone far into the horizon, a twinkle in a moment.
Henry was quite smug. Until he realized exactly what he'd just done.
A moment later, the jetpack was bursting with white flame, screeching across the sky as it sought to catch up to the sapphire before it was lost forever. Henry was so focused on the task, he almost didn't notice Orange, latched onto his left foot via fishing rod, until Orange had managed to dig out his own Elytra and let go, using one of his few remaining fireworks to keep up with Henry's flight speed.
The two passed block-laden gorges and hills, savannah and desert, a portal to the nether that Orange briefly considered, and a hollowed mountain of amethyst with a wizard's tower on top that Henry briefly considered. But neither diverted from the sparkling, spinning gem on the horizon, if only to make sure the other didn't reach it first. Henry pulled out a propel tank and uncapped it, somehow giving his jetpack an even larger burst of rocketed momentum. Orange kept up by swapping to and drinking a Swiftness X Potion. Henry activated his Speed Shoes and twirled his feet behind him like propellers, driving himself ahead further. Orange dropped a block of TNT behind him that went off almost immediately, barely granting him enough time to pull out a shield and block the explosion. The explosion's force was just as mighty, and he caught up to Henry. Seeing this work, he immediately tried it again, and gained some ground.
Henry, at last, used his Warp Turbo Boost, entering a portal that jetted him forward at the speed of light, practically teleporting to the still-flying sapphire. He emerged glassy, feeling his brain begin to break under the pressure of dimensional travel, but seeing his precious treasure centimeters in front of him was enough to refocus his mind. He threw ahead a Sticky Hand, and managed to grasp the gem mid-air and bring it back to his body. Thrilled beyond words, he tucked in his legs without thinking, and slammed into the blocky earth hard enough to form a block-dust mushroom cloud and form a new gorge.
Dizzied, mind spinning, Henry creaked his head upwards to make sure he was still holding the sapphire in a bruised hand. He was, he saw it. And then he saw an Ender Pearl land right next to his outstretched arm. Orange appeared with a zipping sound, and, still under the effects of the potion, snatched the sapphire from his fingers right before he could close his hand. Henry, angered at this, tried to get up and take it back, but his legs turned to butter and his head turned to smoke. He'd put as much strain on his body as he could take, entered another dimension, and crashed out. Yeah, he wasn't moving.
Orange, now full of mirth, saw his struggle, trotted up, and patted the helpless Henry on the back twice. The most insulting form of "nice try" that there was.
That was his mistake. Henry's body was broken. But his spirit was still strong.
Reference leapt from Henry's back and punched him in the arm. The world fizzled and warped, and the two of them were transported into another timeline. Last time, it was the simple change of giving Henry his cyborg enhancements. Now, it was more extreme. Henry's body was in perfect shape, but the two weren't even inside of Minecraft anymore. They were in a… white void? With grey borders? And a white diagonal arrow? Huh?
Orange recognized it immediately. Somehow, that spirit creature hadn't interacted with the code right. Instead of just changing its master, it changed the world. As in, it… closed the game of Minecraft. They'd plopped into an open Paint Dot Net tab. Orange looked out, and saw nobody in the computer chair. Alan'd been doing something here, there were lines and colors and remnants, but he'd been called away. Shame. He could use some help.
Wait, what did he need Alan for? He could make help.
Henry pulled out a Rope Launcher and shot it up to the top-left border. It sank in with a thunk, and pulled Henry up as it retracted. At the same time, Orange pulled out a P-Wing and grew tanuki ears and a tail to fly with. He took off for the right border, where a small window of tools awaited. Henry reached his target by pulling at the Hardness meter, pulling himself up and over it, and accidentally lowering it to 43 to make Orange appear a little fluffier.
He reached what he saw as a pair of scissors as Orange reached the art Pencil. Henry jumped down with gusto, all the colored lines and half-baked drawings melting as the Cut scissors touched them. Orange drew what appeared as a squiggle, but quickly unfolded into a large, toothed wyvern. It flapped small wings with enough force to blow the falling Henry off-course, stabbing into the background's bottom border.
Henry struggled for a moment to pull the scissors out, and the wyvern blew a large black-and white flame at the grounded stick man as it charged towards him. Reference jumped out and blocked the flame for Henry, and Henry managed to pull the scissors up just as the wyvern finished its approach. He closed his eyes in fear and waved the scissors wildly. He opened them after he hadn't died in the last three seconds, and saw two things: A. Good news, the wyvern was very dead, lying on the ground with black-and-white blood pouring out of countless scissor-inflicted paper cuts. B. Bad news, Reference was also on the ground, blue-and-red ectoplasm pouring off him like smoke and a stare of shocked betrayal in his fading eyes. A moment longer, and he popped like a balloon.
Henry looked down at the Cut scissors in his hands sheepishly.
And back up to the giant army of monsters, hydras, skeletons, floating eyeballs, beserkers, werewolves, buzzard wasps, kung fu dugongs, beedrills, and slimes. Oh, and a highly-detailed dragon, and a horrifying monstrosity that was almost human with massive inflatable hands, for good measure. All drawn by Orange in the few seconds that Henry'd been distracted fighting the wyvern.
Orange finished his last drawing bent down, putting the last spikes on a very spiky monster, and stood up, cracking his nonexistent knuckles. He then threw six pokéballs into the air, revealing a team of Level 100, max-statted pokémon. Heracross, Mareep, Oddish, Pidgey, Slugma, Pidgey, and Totodile.
Henry nervously waved.
Orange pointed, and the army advanced.
Henry took the measured, calm approach. He quietly, simply, reached into his Infini^3, took out a Great Ball, and threw it.
And ran away so fast he accidentally teleported out of the program and onto the desktop.
The Great Ball burst into light, revealing the "pokémon" MissingNo. No moves, no attacks, instant devastation as the entire program froze and began to glitch out. Orange's creations and pokémon began to recede in shape, then fill out more, gain and lose limbs, turn into pixels and back. Orange slapped both his hands to his head in panic, and raced to close the window. But his lowered Hardness caused him to slip and fall off the side; he was forced to make his way to the Hardness meter and reset it before he could close the window.
This gave Henry plenty of time.
To run in circles, screaming as he realized he had no clue where he was or what to do.
Orange was angry, now. He was very, very rarely angry. But destroying his pokémon, destroying BOB, was exactly six steps too far.
Henry saw Orange slide out of the window and onto the taskbar. He stopped screaming for a moment. And then started screaming even louder while running as far to the left as he could.
Orange slammed his foot onto the taskbar, throwing open several windows, including the Start Menu directly underneath Henry's fleeing, flailing body. Henry was thrown into the air, above all the other icons, and nearly landed in the Recycling Bin. Luckily, his screams and panic erupted into full flames that burned through the icon, causing Henry to land on the text and bounce off, hitting his back and collapsing onto a growling Firefox.
Orange ignored this. He marched, dutifully and angrily, into the Start Menu, which brought up, as he scrolled, the Minecraft Icon to tap and play. But Orange wasn't playing anymore. He shuffled through his inventory with one hand, settling on a hooked staff, then reached out with his other hand and plucked the Icon out of the Menu. As it left, it became what appeared to be a normal grass block, but for a brief moment, it shifted between thousands of others; eggs, bricks, stairs, gold, weapons, everything that was Minecraft. As he brought his hands closer together, the block practically leapt from him and into the staff, as if that were its true home.
In that moment, Orange held the power of a creative god.
He flew up to where Henry was offering a snarling Firefox a piece of cheese, and pointed. The air crackled and the operating system trembled. Henry saw what was pointed at him and jumped, cheese falling from his hand and leapt upon by the Firefox. Henry screamed again, and pulled out his absolute last resort.
A green handheld teleporter with a big red button. A button that Henry pushed.
Please work!
The Teleporter sparked and zapped, and Henry vanished. He and the teleporter went through dozens of worlds and dimensions, realms of apocalypse, light, darkness, space, time, monsters, fire, ocean, forest, and blood, until finally they reformed completely… right back in the Minecraft world he'd just left.
The Teleporter sparked, jumped out of his hands, and lit itself on fire.
Henry hated the Teleporter.
He didn't get too much time to consider his hatred, though, as in front of him the air rippled, and a paper-like drawn door came into existence. It swung open… and there stood Orange, stepping out from the doorway, Staff in one hand, Pencil in the other. Henry groaned at how worthless his brilliant escape had been.
Orange aimed the staff at Henry, and Henry, for some reason, suddenly felt like it was a very good idea to make a backup Save. A white line of code floated out from him, confirming the save.
An absurdly powerful, white-hot blast of pure energy exploded from the tip of the staff, enough power to annihilate infinite universes, at least. Henry saw images in his mind: four divine beasts, their beams colliding upon a shroud of hundreds of metal birds. A clash between tendrils of void and a sword of light. A beam of pure willpower against a shield of cosmic power. A kamehameha by endless immortals. A strike of two incarnations of death, actualized. A dragon of white flame and a dragon of orange flame, consuming each other. A falling empress, striking with a fist from space against godly threads infused with willpower. A blast of chaos energy that dwarfed all before. A planet made into a weapon, firing a cannon that could end any superhero.
This was stronger than all of them.
RELOAD! RELOAD!
White code, and Henry was back, a single second before Orange launched the blast. Henry put up the Bubble Shield, which had never failed him against projectiles and energy attacks in the past.
It failed him. Henry reloaded a nanosecond before being incinerated.
This time, he switched to his cyborg arm, and absorbed the energy blast into himself. For a brief moment, he thought he could do it; all the energy would enter his body, his to use. His arm and torso then promptly exploded, and he was barely able to reload before his organs spilled out of his body.
Now, he was done. No more games. He pulled out his ultimate weapon: the Tool Gun. He pressed the "S" key. That was exactly as far as it was possible for him to get before he had to reload, the blast having melted his gun and hand, both.
Okay, NrG Drink. That gave him enough time to code.
setCharacterState("OrangeStickGuy?", { frozen = true, duration = 60 })
Yes, enough time, barely. The energy blast still moved faster than he'd like; a sign to how fast it normally erupted. Henry pointed the set gun at Orange and pulled the trigger. It shot out the trigger for the code… at exactly the same speed the Minecraft Beam was moving at.
Reload!
NrG Drink first, for extra time. Henry had a tricky puzzle to figure out.
…
Loop 24110. It'd taken a… well, around a week, but Henry finally had a plan he was sure would work. The plan was simple:
{ = First, NrG Drink, for extra time. Start by inputting the code into the Tool Gun; he only has time for one line before the blast catches him. onTagHit(function(target) transferItem("Staff", "Pencil", "Ravagian_Emerald" from = target, to = "Henry") . Then, not losing a second, the Time Machine. He'd found out the hard way on his sixth loop that his Save had put a hard ceiling on how far back it could go, and he always knew it was one-use for fear of paradoxes, but it still practically doubled his time. Reset to the start of the Loop, fire the Tool Gun immediately, NrG Drink hasn't worn off yet.
Now, eat the Duplicatorange, making a second Henry that's willing to die, knowing from the previous hundred Loops that there was no way for both to survive. Hand the Norwegian Emerald and Metal Cap to the clone. Clone runs to meet the beam while Henry takes an adrenaline shot and a Stretch Chewie and runs to the right; if the clone didn't run, the beam's ever-expanding range would catch them both. As the clone pulls out the Emerald and rams into the beam, using the Metal Cap's unwavering body to brace against the beam's impact so the Emerald doesn't go flying out of his hands, the beam strikes and is temporarily reflected into the air. Henry, from the side, waits exactly 2.4 seconds, and then uses his stretching powers to throw an arm back and launch it forward with lots of recoil, hurling the CorrupTick in his hand to reach Orange in less-slow-motion.
The beam only struggles against the Emerald for a moment longer; it cracks and is quickly broken through, vaporizing both the Emerald and the clone behind it. Realizing the trick, Orange is able to recognize where the "real" Henry is and turn to guide the still-moving blast to him. Right here, then, is where the CorrupTick lands, glitching Orange out for a moment and halting his movement. This moment is exactly timed, so the line of code from the Tool Gun hits Orange after he's been affected by the CorrupTick, but before the Staff begins to take effect, too. The code lands, the beam is canceled, and the Minecraft Block Staff and Pencil are both in Henry's hands. Instantly he creates a bucket of milk from the Block and drinks it, negating the future heart attack, but also negating his NrG Drink perception.
Now, Orange launches his counterattack, a fishing pole to grasp the Staff and pull himself in for a strike to the face, so Henry uses the Staff to summon a wall of Barriers around him, then a Command Block inside the new fortress. He uses one hand with Zero-Point Energy to keep Orange still while inputting a new command in the Command Block, which, unlike the Tool Gun, can be used with one hand. /execute at henrystickmin121607 as [at_symbol]a unless entity [at_symbol]s[distance=0] run kill [at_symbol]s . This would instantly kill all other characters using Minecraft equipment, so he wouldn't have to know Orange's code-based name in order to kill him. He survives and wins, with no possibility of retaliation. = }
See, simple!
It took him another 212 attempts to get it right.
But, it worked. Orange was flung backwards, against a tree as lines of code impaled him at every angle. He glitched from the CorrupTick. He tried to summon his fishing rod, but it faded away into code in his hand. He tried to reach any and all of his arsenal, but it all sparked and fizzled out as soon as it appeared in his toolbar. His toolbar, now, also creaked and crumbled, and Orange felt the tree behind his back and the blocky grass under his legs begin to turn to coded ash. He gazed up at the sky; the Command Block couldn't destroy all of Minecraft. But this dimension, this village, all its people, would be gone forever.
The CorrupTick glitched him again, briefly showing, in his place, a black figure with flaming hands.
Henry, meanwhile, was rejoicing. After over two hundred hours straight of fighting for his life, he had both it, and his prize. He pulled out the Ravagian Sapphire and kissed its top, it and everything around him safe from the Command. He was rich; rich beyond anything he'd ever found before, with a masterpiece jewel collection that'd make every other stick guy on the whole dang internet jealous! Oh, and how could he forget, the most powerful weapon, well, ever, was in his hands!
Orange stood up.
And was in front of Henry.
Henry fell to the ground and balked. What?! How? This shouldn't be possible. That line of code was, well, code! It should have erased this guy, no questions asked! And how did he get here so fast?!
Orange lifted one arm, slowly. Green flame sprouted from it lightly. The space where his eyes would be was sparked with two green stars.
Henry felt every bit of his luck, danger senses, mental options, everything, screaming to GET OUT.
Reload!
The string of white code that was Henry reloading his Save lifted up, practically imperceptible, moving at infinite speeds.
Orange swatted it like a fly. It shattered with a game-breaking screech and dissolved into nothing.
Reload?
Nothing.
Orange stepped forwards, and the world behind him exploded.
Henry dropped his Sapphire, his Command Block, the Pencil, everything, and snatched the Minecraft Block Staff up. With a Flash, he teleported away; far away. Away enough where he had to use the Staff to fly, as the ground beneath him was being deleted still. Yet it wasn't far enough; even as he reformed, he saw Orange blasting towards him, wide jets of green fire coming from his hands and feet as every twitch of a cell of a millimeter in his painted body made its own sonic boom.
Henry's eyes grew wide and panicked, and his mouth fell open. In desperation, he swung the Staff forward, praying to use it the same way Orange had at the start of every loop. Thankfully, it seemed to respond to his thoughts directly, and a massive, white beam every bit as powerful as the one he had faced tens of thousands of times coated the infinite heavens, completely enveloping Orange.
The bits that struck turned black. The air that whistled snapped. Reality bent as it tried to erase Orange, and straightened back around as he refused. One step, against the current. Two steps, into the flame. Then a leap through the void, a fire in the night, and he was flying again, bursting through the beam's center. His body fizzled and jumped, struggling to adjust itself against the beam, but he continued regardless. Every meter seemed an infinite distance, and every second a lifetime. Four times, Henry stopped, teleported somewhere else, and started again. But there was no escape from the inevitable.
Eventually, after so much work, so much pain, and so much power, Orange reached his target. He lifted one arm above the beam, saw the terrified Henry, and brought it down.
Cleaving the Staff in two.
The beam shut off as the Staff exploded under its own energy. The Minecraft Block tumbled from the blackened sky they were in and fell through the infinite void below. Henry careened through the air, saved by equipping his Wings, and pulled out his last, last, last last-ditch item: a calculator.
Orange gathered all his energy and ejected it out of his eyes in green laser vision, enough to incinerate Henry and whatever he held. But he was too late. In the brief moment he gathered, Henry already asked the calculator to divide by 0.
The universe itself stilled, sound turned to silence, and reality to unreality. The lasers died as they began. The void from below was swallowed by an even greater darkness. All patches of reality began to fall away into nothing. Henry trembled and curled into a ball, activating his Nano Suit, his Harden ability, his Cannon Ball in Defense Mode, everything he could think of to protect himself. He knew, he did, that it was futile. In his fear, in his panic, he'd killed them both. It was a win, but… not really.
Seconds passed. Then minutes. Cautiously, Henry lifted his head. He… wasn't dead. Wasn't gone. How? How did he survive?
He removed Defense Mode and un-Hardened. Yes, he was still alive, even without that. All else was blacker than black, less than nothing, gone into the abyss of entropy. All except a small box around him.
Him, and Orange. Who, eyes shining, paint thinning, and flames dwindling, was holding back the end of all things with his bare hands.
Arms outstretched like a metal bar holding a compactor at bay, he strained, sweated, and pushed. Outwards, against both sides of nullification. The darkness saw his light, and it could not overcome it.
As soon as he took notice of Henry, he whipped his head around. The darkness slammed a little further in, taking advantage of his lost concentration. Orange ignored it. His starred eyes blinked rapidly and he nodded vicariously, trying to tell Henry something. But there was no sound in the void.
Henry shook, thinking he understood what was being asked, He pulled out the calculator. Orange nodded; that was right. Henry looked around, and came up with an idea to save them both. He put in 0+1, hoping to restore something, and make sure reality didn't eternalize itself into nothing. It didn't work. The darkness stayed. But, curiously, something did pop up: the lone Number "1", floating in the air. Orange nodded at the number, which Henry didn't fully understand. But he reached up for it anyway. His hand passed straight through, like the number wasn't there.
Instantly, he saw Orange's eyes shrink and close in devastation, then open in some form of understanding, before falling, downcast.
Henry gulped. Whatever this number was, Orange could use it. Interact with it. Save them all from his terror-fueled, universe-breaking mistake. But he couldn't.
He knew what to do.
Henry punched Orange, knocking him down from his position, and allowing entropy to kill everything.
If it could get through him.
Henry hardened his nano-laden hands as they came in contact with the darkness. The instant they touched, his body was on fire. Alit with uncountable, unfathomable nonexistence. How Orange had managed to do this for minutes, he couldn't dream. He was ready to lay down and accept death, and he'd now been doing it for half of a second.
Orange stumbled and caught himself in flight. He looked back at Henry with some new, small respect, then shook his head. He raced for the 1, grasping it and pushing it forward and backwards, revealing a line of infinite number in both directions. He pulled new numbers out and placed them next to each other, then expanded them into exponents, which he pulled out and reformed into paradoxically endless roots. He worked, and worked, and worked.
Henry saw, for the first time, an entire multiverse, timelines based on his choices. Extensions of himself, everything he had done. And each of them, confused and frightened, faded away into nothing, their essence burning away as he spent all his paradoxical time energy in holding back The End. 363 of him. Then, 341. Then 300. Then 200. They drained faster the less he had, as all the time energy in all of the hims decreased exponentially with each version of him gone. 89. 73. 49.
Orange was finished. He held up his final workpiece: the Infinity symbol, as applied within Area. He paused, hesitating on what he knew he had to do next.
Henry shouted, his voice, at long last, being heard as it reverberated across the symbol.
Orange understood. He flew up to Henry, and pressed his hand, and what it contained, forwards.
2… 1.
The last Henry Stickmin in the multiverse was merged with Infinite Space. He inhaled, gathering energy. All that was and wasn't left, the symbol within him, the him within him. Like a Dragon Ball character, he hummed and shouted and continually gained more and more energy. Until he reached the point where he knew it was too much.
He blinked, hesitating at the end.
Orange's fire died down. The drawing seemed on the verge of passing out. But he stared Henry down, and put his hand over where his heart would have been.
Henry shouted. And exploded.
-KO!-
Infinite Area erupted into the void, nullifying nullification, turning death to life, and restoring space and time as they were.
Orange collapsed to his knees, woozy as the sky near-instantly cleared. He heard chirping and whistling and crickets. Trees grew to provide shade, housing and villages were spawned in, and if he focused enough, he would have heard the sounds of Blue and the villagers returning home in songs of victory. He blinked, and looked down at his hands. There, in his right hand, was the Ravagian Sapphire. All was returned.
Almost all.
Knowing, somehow, that he would soon return to normal and lose all semblance of what happened here, he clenched his fists, feeling out all of space-time. He found what he was looking for, and warped his code to take him there.
Strings fell into and out of life around him. Planes shifted, time melted away, and he saw something he had rather hoped not to see.
Himself. Kneeling at the base of the Einstein-Rosen Bridge.
Still dizzy, he stumbled over to… him. As his other self took notice, he was quickly encouraged to sit and rest. His future self began pointing to the bridge, explaining how he was to use it to guarantee none of this happened in the first place, but… saving the multiverse was a sleepy job. He could just… sleep, for a moment first. Nobody would notice.
Even if they noticed, they wouldn't mind.
…
Conclusion
TWO: "FAIL: Wow, that escalated quickly."
LZ: Henry was-
TWO: Ridiculously outmatched.
LZ: No, shut up!
TWO: Hey, you invented me for this.
LZ: He WAS a brilliant strategist with an incredible arsenal that would guarantee victory against most foes, even those with advantages in stats. But Orange was-
TWO: Better in every way?
LZ: Don't make me pull you back into the recessive gene.
TWO: Come on, we both know this Conclusion's gonna be shorter than either Bio. Let's just get the biggest gun out of the way: Henry's arsenal was huge, improbable, and had all sorts of amazing stuff in it. But, somehow, Orange's was much bigger, much more improbable, and much more amazing.
LZ: I mean, there were some ways they matched each other. For example, both had methods of increasing their speed and strength temporarily, and by seemingly similar amounts. Both had ways to turn invisible, travel through time, and teleport. And while he's certainly used it far less, Henry did technically match Orange's Pencil and Eraser with SpongeBob's Magic Pencil.
TWO: Counters aplenty, too. Orange could alter Henry's body with all sorts of Microsoft Paint, Photoshop, and animation tools, but Henry's own cursor could bring him right back to normal. Orange's existed outside reality before, and the Sonic Pulse is pretty unlikely to work when it's affecting organs (and ears) that Orange doesn't have.[1]
LZ: But that's where the corner turns. With Orange able to match the vast majority of Henry's arsenal with individual items of his own, his larger number creeps up as a rather defining advantage. Yes, the Minecraft Block may have four dozen different kinds of wood, but it also had summons, lasers, ever-refreshing and enchanted armor and weapons, even oddities like Redstone and Fishing Rods, which allowed him much greater creativity in attacks and structures. Structures on their own were something Henry couldn't really do, which, combined with pickaxes working on normal computer hardware, gave Orange complete control over the battlefield.
TWO: I mean, basic comes to basic, the two match arsenals a ton of ways, but as Henry runs dry, Orange'll just keep surprising him with new items'n'tactics, over and over. He'd just get completely overwhelmed.[2] That's without even mentionin' all the items he gets from other video games, or the crapload of superpowers from the League of Legends Champions!
LZ: There's also a notable difference in how these arsenals are used. Henry makes choices. He enters a situation, sees a problem, and selects an item to use. Even in the midst of a gunfight or a war zone, this is still how he functions. Rarely are any items used in congruence with each other, or rapid-fire with a plan for the combat scenario. He deals with every situation as it comes, and sees his single choice through to the end before making another and pulling out another item.
TWO: Yeah, uh, Orange doesn't do that. You call it spamming, I call it making logical use of AN INFINITE SUPPLY OF ITEMS. Throwing dozens of blocks and potions and arrows at a guy isn't all there is to it, though. Henry comes up with great overall strategies for long plans under pressure, but Orange sees any situation and instantly pulls out what to use and how to use it as quickly as possible. Like a giant obsidian statue monster. Need an antimatter cannon? Nah, just some saplings, a fishing rod, a minecart, and bone meal. Aaaand it's down and dead in thirty seconds. That was less than fifteen minutes after he found out the Block existed, by the way. Nowadays he's done way crazier things in way higher-stakes situations, while also being maybe the most-skilled fighter we've ever had on this show.
LZ: Frankly, as long as Orange knew Henry had it, there was not a single thing in Henry's arsenal that Orange could not match. Because while Henry can lag himself, Orange's knowledge of his digital existence is so extensive that he could reprogram his world, exit or enter any video game, YouTube video, or fictional universe, or literally Google Image Search the same things Henry has for himself to use. Or he could blast Henry with the Multi-Minecraft Block Staff Unmaking Beam. That Beam could destroy the infinite Minecraft dimensions and potentially beyond. I doubt Henry's Bubble Shield would protect him from that.[3]
TWO: Okay, let's be fair, Henry did have one thing that could sorta match everything Orange could ever have, right? That Tool Gun?
LZ: Maybe. Okay, yes, that Tool Gun is, by far, the most powerful tool in Henry's kit. The ability to literally re-code reality around him is amazing. However, Orange's Command Block allowed him the same capabilities. Of course, Java and Lua are two different programming languages, but for the purposes of a Death Battle, they both serve a similar enough purpose where one can reliably counter the other. Henry might use the Tool Gun to make himself invulnerable to physical harm in some variations of the battle, but the Command Block could do the same. In Death Battle, situations like these cancel each other out.
TWO: Actually, the Command Block had a decent advantage here. To put in commands for the Tool Gun, Henry had to manually type out whole lines of code and everything. But once it's put in a staff, the Command Block could do dozens of commands just by Orange thinkin' it. So he could get off those cheats and reality warping a lot faster and more consistently. Not to mention that this series has put in TONS of commands that don't really work in either Minecraft or even just Java code, while the Tool Gun is pretty limited in how much Lua it can input, so Orange had way more leeway in actually getting his reality-warping to do what he wanted, too.
LZ: And the Tool Gun's re-coding would be unable to actually kill Orange with a command, as he's resisted existence erasure from far more powerful sources. Orange's soul, data, existence, what have you, has actually shown so much unbelievable tolerance, it'd be virtually impossible for Henry to destroy, or even affect at all. Even King Orange couldn't be changed by a Command Block whilst holding the Minecraft Block, and Orange resisted a stronger coding force without that kind of protection.
TWO: That there's actually one of the big factors that leads H-man to a dead end. If he can't kill Orange's soul or existence, the only way he's really got left to win is by killing his body, actually just beatin' him down until he dies, right? Well, both have got a ton of the same, or at least pretty similar, things in their arsenals, but do ya know something Orange has that Henry doesn't? Healing potions, healing magic, and, oh yeah, an infinite supply of magic totems that literally mean his body can't be killed by any conventional means![4]
LZ: Ruling out physical damage, soul destruction, data manipulation, and even old age as methods of victory left Henry with precious few options to win, well, at all. And most that were left, like the Time Machine, Orange could perform just as easily. But that is only truly relevant in a battle of equals. And, in many categories, this was not a battle of equals.
TWO: Yeah, like Speed. Scalin' to Right Hand Man Reborn's 100% power, Henry could maybe move and fight at around 8.3x the speed of light, which is pretty amazin' for a stick guy. But Orange is faster than the Dark Lord, who's literally a trillion times faster than that! And even that goes out the window with the infinite speed feats.
LZ: Nothing in Henry's arsenal allowed him to match such speed. Even VATS and the NrG Drink would be useless against such a gap. The only arguable exceptions would be Sonic's Shoes and Kirby's Warp Star, both of which allow characters in their own franchises to reach potentially infinite speeds.
TWO: But that's when they're stretched to their limits by folks who are super used to using them. There's lots of measurable speed feats, too, so it's too inconclusive to just make the stat even because of these two items.
LZ: Besides, both of these are explicitly too fast for Henry to control. Both are Fail endings, resulting from Henry being completely unable to stop, steer, or manipulate anything beyond literally holding on for dear life. Yes, we judge characters at their best, but the way these Fails are shown along with many other instances across the franchise is a specific story indicator that Henry does not have the reaction speed to handle them.
TWO: Even Puffy himself confirmed it in the Dev Commentary. Heck, the OG Fail for Sonic's Shoes was for him to careen into space from going too fast to handle or react! That's about as explicit as it gets.
LZ: Even so, we could remove these infinite speed feats as, potentially, contextual outliers. Orange does, after all, frequently find himself in fights against characters who are distinctly measurable in that category. This would still put him at trillions of times light speed even without scaling to other fictional characters he's met, but at least then Henry has a chance.
TWO: Yeah, and not a joking one, too. Some of his arsenal was actually pretty deadly to the living citrus. Reference's punches, for example, could send him into totally new timelines! Orange has been teleported by others before, includin' into alternate dimensions, and while he could usually teleport right back with the Command Block, LoL powers, the Pencil, or the wormhole, IF Henry figured that all out, he could send him to a timeline where none of that stuff exists, and since it removed one guy's whole cyborg body parts, it'd probably do the same for Orange. Trapped in another dimension with no way to escape? Sounds like a win to me!
LZ: Well, granted, that's fairly contextual and easily countered, especially by a Power Pellet that destroys spiritual beings like Stands. A much more likely win-con that Orange's arsenal doesn't have a direct counter for would be the Command Melody. Orange's soul, spirit, and existence may be near-impossible to destroy, but his mind? Not so much. He's been manipulated in such a manner before, including having his body and free will completely overtaken by the Orb. As the Command Melody can affect beings with as much spiritual power as Medli and Makar, it's unlikely Orange could resist its effects. So, that's one way to win.
TWO: Heck, Orange's been paused in time before by some remote-control guy and Green was Force Held by a Command Block, so maybe even just Zero-Point Energy would work on him! But it wouldn't really matter, cuz you have to let go at some point to actually affect Orange with anything else (including that Command Melody), and Henry didn't have the kind of strength he needed to take advantage of the opening.
LZ: Henry Stickmin could one-shot characters potentially capable of carving away entire planets and sending them flying through space, but just the black hole feat alone would make Orange literally hundreds of thousands of times stronger.[5]
TWO: And even that isn't as strong you'd have to be to cart around a solar system like a bag of groceries, or one-shot the universe-destroying Pac-Man, or survive tons of hits from an Aurelion Sol on steroids!
LZ: Orange has deflected an arrow hard enough to cross a neverending world, survived attacks from literal mathematical infinity (of multiple layers), and pushed back a beam that was destroying an entire multiverse. There is nothing, Power Armor, Nano Suit, theoretical super forms, nothing that Henry could bridge that gap with.[6] Henry had a few tools that could be argued to be usable for an instant victory, but with that much power, every attack Orange threw would be an instant victory.
TWO: And remember, to even use any of his own win-cons, Henry had to catch Orange, or have Orange leave 'im alone long enough to play a whole song. With a speed gap that huge? Not gonna happen.
LZ: And that really does tie the noose. Ultimately, even in his own games, Henry can get locked into a path that only ends in failure. And with a larger, more varied arsenal, a ridiculous amount of experience and powers, a Super Form, incredible natural fighting talent, and total knowledge of his digital existence and how to manipulate it to his advantage, Orange could guarantee that he could force Henry down that path. Having stats literally infinitely above Henry's helps, too.
TWO: Orange you glad we got it right the first time by complete accident?
LZ: Really? That's your pun? It's the Season Finale, you know.
TWO: Ugh, right. Orange you glad it's finally over?
LZ: That's not better.
TWO: Then Orange you glad you made me, so you don't have to get the blame for these?
LZ: Do you have… anything else, like, at all?
TWO: Just one, but it's Henreeeeal bad.
LZ: I'm going to throw up.
TWO: Orange you glad I brought a barf bucket?
The winner is… Orange, the Second Coming.

Special Notes (For the Conclusion):
[1] Henry could trap them both with the Transdimensionalizer, but Orange has escaped the 1st Dimension before with his own strength. Henry could turn Orange into a leaf with the LeafMöde and some luck, but Orange has survived and fought after similar magical transformations previously, and has endless splash potions that perform similar and greater functions. The CorrupTick is likely weaker than the arachindian Virus, which could not affect Orange's code. Henry's Save-and-Reload, besides simply being another form of Time-Travel, would not erase Orange's memories and experiences, as he's kept them after being flushed through time and data alteration before. Both's teleportation ability comes from League of Legends and additional Lua/Java codes, so they should be on similar footing in that regard.
[2] While it is technically possible for Henry to steal the Minecraft Block at some point in the battle if Orange were to be suitably distracted, Orange has extensive experience fighting users of that Block, including when he himself had no weapons or items to speak of. Meanwhile, Henry has no experience with objects or weapons like this, and has frequently shown that he requires time to practice with newly obtained weapons before he can properly use them. Orange is also well aware of how and where he can get as many replacements as he wishes, and has done so in the past. With abilities like teleportation and that Einstein-Rosen Bridge, doing so would be nearly effortless, practically nullifying this as a factor at all.
[3] In Among Us VS Fall Guys, the official show declared in a Black Box that Among Us' access to some of Henry Stickmin's arsenal held the downside of the items tending to backfire. This suggests that the Death Battle rules would move in favor of judging the items' actual performance in-game, rather than their theoretical performance under ideal conditions, further dividing the two arsenals.
[4] The "Play of the Game" segment from The Betrayed timeline shows the perspective of Cyborg-Enhanced Right Hand Man shooting his ultimate attack, with an infinity symbol in the lower right corner. Normally, this area showcases the ammunition for rapid fire, but it could perhaps be argued here to display the power of the attack itself. Using this one instance to scale Henry to infinite power is very questionable, but even if we did so, it wouldn't matter. Orange's buffs and transformations outpace Henry's, and his feats showcase multiple layers of infinite power. Even if the two's stats were exactly even, Orange's endless supply of healing items and Totems of Undying would allow him to last much longer than Henry would.
[5] The energy absorption of Henry's cybernetic enhancements has a limit, as shown when he attempted to absorb Right Hand Man's ultimate energy attack, and the amount of energy overheated his body and caused it to explode. Going by traditional scaling, the amount of energy required to destroy two planets is far lower than what Orange has shown, and even if we use the assumption of that attack holding infinite energy, this still means Henry cannot absorb an unlimited amount of energy, which both the Minecraft Block and Orange's super form can provide.
[6] If he were somehow able to collect all seven Chaos Emeralds, it is implied that Henry could, indeed, hold a Chaos Energy-centered Super form. However, it is extremely unlikely that this form would hold the power of characters like Super Sonic and Super Shadow, who are chosen by fate (and genetic engineering) to utilize this Energy better than anyone else. Super Sonic even destroyed Imperator Ix with one attack, and Ix at the time held the power of all the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald! As such, nothing Super Sonic or Shadow accomplished could be applicable to Henry's theoretical Super form.

Next time, on Death Battle…
I'M DONE
TIME FOR ANOTHER EXTRAVAGANZA
Y'ALL HAVE AROUND A WEEK (maybe more) TO ASK QUESTIONS AND LEAVE REVIEWS AND STUFF BEFORE I TALK YOUR HEAD OFF ABOUT EVERYTHING
Woo! This was… trying. I'll obviously talk about it way more in the Extravaganza soon, but although I loved redoing my research and coming to new conclusions, actually writing it all out was tougher than any other episode this season. And yeah, in retrospect, Carnage VS Doomsday was definitely a bigger, cooler, way more fun Season Finale contender. But hey, it's not like I knew that when I planned this season out! As far as Episode Remakes go, I think this one turned out decently. Much, much better than the original, anyway.
Anyway, this Season is finally, finally at long long last, finished! I can scarcely believe it! This Season's Extravaganza will probably be much longer as I go a bit more in-depth. Rather than a bunch of fun sections, I really just want to talk about making this fanfiction for a while. It'll be a good time, though! Definitely show up!
Also, I'm still looking for new matchups for Katara and Percy Jackson. Feel free to leave a solid page or two of random matchups for each character in a review or a PM. That means you, SombraZorro!
mwahaha, let that be a lesson to you: never enjoy my stuff, or I will demand you perform my chores
See y'all soon!
