At first i felt like there is pretty weak conflict considering previous works, but ending did wrap it up perfectly for me :) Not every story needs a complex morale or clash of character goals, sometimes it is nice to tell a story about importance of self-confidence and people who can support you (sometimes through beating you out of self-built lies, i guess).
I mean the first episode was over bacon the second episode was vs jade was over some snacks the third episode was guilded guy trying to get money cuz he wants to fix his armor forth is just bog jumping guilded guy when guilded guy is just chillin fifth episode guilded guy got jealous the sixth episode over a mistake the seventh episode I can’t really say a way that makes it petty the eighth episode was guilded guy showing his pen to the star he is chasing and it makes everything gold so mars the dragon start tweaking out and goes dragon mode
Wait, so if the tent and those people were not real and are only illusions. That just basically means he being praised by nobody and is performing to nobody… that’s hella lonely.
Yep. And then add that the first actual person that gets in, who isnt even a performer, manages to be better than him at his own job. Thats always rough.
@@thorveim1174 I never tough I will have pity for Dream Zotes- AND I STILL DON'T! I hope we will see that Dummy again, I liked him and seems like have a bigger story. and weirdly similar to new illisioner antagonist from "Steve & Alex life" animation series enen though it aired just yet too.
The illusions reflected his perception of himself. The more that he became unsure of himself the more they laughed. He wears a mask because he wears his heart on his sleeve.
God i love this animation so much. Y'know, it's nice to not have a jester character that's NOT a psychotic monster hellbent on causing chaos for a change. Instead, we got a clown character that's actually doing his job, entertaining, that is.
Still, shoving, hitting, kicking and putting someone in dangerous stunts counts as abuse; especially worse that it's to a child! Who wouldn't be arrested for that? 😅
@zanelightblueskyyou can! It'll take a lot of time though, working hard to get better, then animating by yourself, and if you produce enough revenue you can hire a team
I wanted to take a second and compliment Dummy’s design! Despite being so simple, it’s a really distinctive take on the “spooky jester” archetype - the emphasis on those deep pinks and purples are really striking, and the face is incredibly emotive even beyond his crazy grin. It’s also really cool how much of his energy carries through on the unmasked face as well, with the angular eyes and his slightly crooked natural smile. Massive props if they haven’t been given already.
agreed! i love his character and everything about it. there were only 11 minutes to flesh everything out but everyone did a spectacular job at setting his character. never heard of him until now but I love him lol
@@HardstuckIronAlaynac You probably haven't heard of him before because this is Dummy's first animation! Unlike most duelists, he doesn't have a demo of his own. But I strongly hope we'll be seeing a lot more of him after how much fun this was.
Sweet of little Violet to take pity as being the jester's first real audience to perform even though he was threatening but I bet in his life he just wanted a chance to amaze people but perhaps was neglected and lonely; and also wants to have friends.
Yeah it tells us that this takes place before the events of Story 7 the Rock Hard Gladiator episode given I think it's the same one Gilded was heading to since it is one in the middle of a fielded area.
@@blackdemonknight yea i think so too. thank you for bringing that up actually, cause I first thought it was a different colosseum and I didn't even think abt it being set BEFORE story 7. awesome detail
Violet and Dummy are adorable characters! Love how they pretty much became friends in the end. I wonder if that "to be continued..." our golden boy's story is officially done
Such an exciting experience from the beginning of production, to the release of the animation! The end result came out absolutely amazing! Rebonk overall did a fantastic job heading the project, and every contribution from the team added so much to it! It's still utterly surreal seeing Dummy be brought to life in a full blown animation, and Violet totally stole the show (literally) as our protagonist! As always, it was an absolute honor to contribute work on the project! ❤❤
LIKE HE CARE HE THE GREAT GILDED KNIGHT THE SAVIOR OF KINGDOMS THE SLAYER OF THE DRAGON OF MAR CURSE HE SHALL END ANY THREAD TO HIM AND HIS FRIENDS WAY ( joking around but honestly he all the hype worth he amazing and its violet story so its basically a passing of a torch kinda if it was gildedguy vs dummy then it be different still amazing AND i know ya also joking )
I love how wholesome the ending is, with Violet helping him get back his self-esteem. I also like the little look and pat he gives her after placing her in the cannon, things like that do just as well at conveying ideas as dialogue.
The animation and color is beutiful and has improved a lot over each episode. Although I really want to see more of your surreal and gritty style like what you did with gildedguy vs bog. The style back then really makes it emotianally captivating.
This was SO adorable! All of Violet's expressions were cute, the story being told was excellent and heartwarming, Dummy putting on a true show for Violet was precious, and the fact that this is basically a gift between friends just makes this better.

So, Dummy has circus magic and he has self-esteem issues due to some facial scaring. He uses the bigtop and an illusionary crowd to practice his act. Violet walks in thinking that it is a normal circus. Dummy gets to the part where he requires a volunteer from the audience, picks Violet because she stands out, and probably doesn't realize she isn't an illusion until she upstages him. He gets angry and tries to get comedic revenge. He fails, and it devolves into a fight. Violet eventually removes Dummy's mask, and he stops all magic immediately so he can sulk. Violet, after returning the mask, offers to cheer him up by being his audience. Dummy is awkward at first but gets into the swing of things. Did i get it right?
Also you forgot to mention something not as important but it’s the fact that the audience started to cheer for violet. This is because he thought she was better then him so the audience is like an extension of him.
omg i LOVE dummys character so much! and the dynamic and interactions between dummy and violet are soooo heartwarming. i def wanna know more about dummy tho love his design and character
Nice! I love the lean in to the theatrics and spotlight. The use of the mask is really creative too. Glad that Dummy got some genuine attention and interest in the end, too. It can be really rough, feeling like you're unwanted. I like the dynamic between the two of them. Can't wait to see what's next! Send my regards for sure. This was beautiful! So glad we got another banger animation this year!
Story 2 was gilded caught stealing food at jades party (or whatever) jade had a reason to antagonize gilded just like dummy does for jealousy and stealing show
Dummy literally being copium addicted. And violet help to leave it. Not minding on his own buisness. I see in anim phrase: don't be to closed, if you got something to show, better show. It can't be worse.

Loved the ending and energy put into the characters. Music was perfect and I couldn’t stop watching the end credits because of how heartwarming it was❤
Honestly, this feels like a more realized version of Gildedguy vs. Fry. An innocent start (Fry cooking and Dummy performing) followed by one feeling wrong (Dummy instead of Gildedguy) which leads to a battle the opponent has to be disarmed to be beaten (Fry's frying pan and Dummy's mask). The main difference that I see is that it ended on a more wholesome note with both Dummy and Violet probably becoming friends.
I find it interesting how Dummy was doing the circus routine perfectly until he had to compare himself to someone else - then it started falling apart One could imagine the moral of the story is you shouldn’t be afraid to make mistakes but I also think it shows how even one good friend can really make your passions become all the more real and meaningful, even if it doesn’t become as big as you’d like. Dummy’s abilities are pretty cool too, like he basically has a Domain Expansion of his own to chill in
That was amazing as usual I'd also like to say that i like how these amazing stories don't always have to revolve around the main character, and still end up being the true masterpieces that they are I'm glad that your able to just tell a story and it being amazing no matter what character its about (I hope it makes sense of what i said)
OK, so violets main goal is to get to the coliseum, she enters dummys circus tent because she hears noises from it, fights dummy because she accidentally did everything better than him, violet becomes dummys first real audience?, dummy helps her get to the coliseum. good work, keep it up friend!
So happy to have been able to make time to for GuildedGala. I can truly feel the heart that goes into these animations and it’s definitely left something with me to remember.
Watching this on really good low-range headphones, I was not ready for that bass note around the 0:40 mark. Holy cow that totally elevated the ambiance of the scene.
Considering the authenticity of his illusions, and the way his costume looks, it may seem that he is some kind of demon, and it’s good that he decided to use this power in no other way.
I love the simplicity of this story. The jealous clown from what I can interpret as a misunderstanding turns into a petty fight. Which is magnificently animated I think. Thank you for the treat
I loved this so much, also loved dummy’s design! (Simple yet charming, definitely would love to see him again) Plus the nice wholesome ending was a cherry on top!
This is...wow. Alright. First things first. The animation has improved a lot and you can tell. There is passion oozing in each frame. The color schemes were fitting and helped to make the characters even more vibrant. The designs were nice. You can really see more personality in the expressions and movements. There's individuality. Like that Violet is a sweetheart and that Dummy is insecure but also a showman. Now to Dummy. I waited for him and I wasn't disappointed. His jester-like appearance and mannerisms were spot on. Entertaining, mischievous and comical. All I could ever want. The story itself was nice to understand and witness. Maybe they could be friends in a future. That would be cute. Final thoughts are, iam overjoyed and mesmerized. 🎭
THIS WAS SO GOOD AAAA Amazing story, animation, and that credits scene was so cute 😭 CONGRATS REBONK, GILDEDGUY, VOROX AND THE REST OF THE TEAM!!! 🎉 This was such a treat 💗💗💗
I know someone, he's very special to me, actually, you said hi to him in your live, Alejandro!! Idk if you remember, in the Gildedgala XD, i actually became a fan of this whole channel and stuff because of him
Gotta be honest, previous works and trailers for this made me think the story would revolve around Violet and the troubles of being a kind of people pleaser, being forced to do a show, pulled by the strings, kinda like Gildedguy had to deal with trauma after fighting Bog. The whole thing ending up helping Dummy get through a time of loneliness is a sweet story though, as great as the animation itself ^^ can't wait to see Violet helping out other people on her travels and likely grow as a result, and hope everyone who participated in making this keeps their passion and enjoyment in doing this amazing work
0:08 already off to a banger start , i love how the first piece of background music is franz ferdinand’s take me out which was played in violets duelist demo
This was really refreshing and a fun watch, emotions and communication of ideas were portrayed really well and I was enjoying a lot of it. I don't usually stick around for credit scenes. So having the credits be what it was, came across as such a clever way to keep seats glued.
This animations where you can see all the effort and love put into everything never fail at making my day. I hope i can keep looking forward to all the stories of these two.
dang never in my life have i felt this heart touched i feel so so bad for Dummy cause having such low self esteem is quite terrible its intoxicating and especially trying to set very high standards for himself that would make things worst but having a friend or in this case real friend like Violet open his eyes on trying to do simple beginnings which in my opinion quite needed all performers start from somewhere even from scratch or from a friend
So, I was trying to enumerate the Dummy guy's powers. From a few dozen rewarches, I feel like we can safely say that he's one of the strongest characters we've seen featured in the GG series. Let's see here... - Unconditional instantaneous short-ranged teleportation - Stable, high-speed self-propulsion (fly-hacks) - Advanced-level marksmanship proficiency (throwing the juggling props, shooting the arrow off Violet's head at range) - Master-level martial arts proficiency - Virtuoso-level performative gymnastics proficiency (circus boi) - Superhuman-level strength, speed, reflexes, and dexterity - Known object conjuring and levitation (he can make a functioning, lit cannon appear... can he conjure a nuclear bomb, or at least the Cier equivalent?) - Manipulable heat and force type magical projection (the circus animals, the flame breath) - Stable illusion projection (the whole circus around them, visible from afar by Violet) - Clone jitsu (said clones only seem to be capable of physical force) - 4th-wall manipulation (teleporting Violet onto a tightrope, trapping Violet with the "black bars", shifting gravity itself??) - "Black bar" dimension, pure magic form (plunging Violet "outside of the frame" by collapsing the black bars on her, transporting her to a dimension outside of physicality that he could take on what seems to be the form of a magical floating face) He doesn't seem to have significant durability or the mental resilience for a real life-or-death fight, but if he really exercised his powers to their full extent, he'd have at least draw odds against a few of the RHG characters we've seen GildedGuy fight or team up with. Most notably, I feel like his ability to attack using the meta perspective of the audience would let him gain the upper hand in either escaping or trapping foes more dangerous than him. I do fear that one or more of his powers may be limited to his "tent domain expansion," which seems to be conditionally intact upon his mental state (being able to wear his mask), but given we know he can still conjure his performing props during the end credits and that Violet being a real audience seems to be helping him grow more mentally resilient, he may soon have it in him to use his powers without the validation of an audience. If that were the case, then I'd say that he probably could lowkey could go toe-to-toe with even GildedGuy himself for a good few minutes. I'm not even 100% whether or not GildedGuy could secure a clear win against him with that much hack factor. So, yeah. I think Dummy ranks in the top 5 of the most powerful characters we've seen across the GildedGuy series. Definitely doesn't seem like he has the guts to outright win a life-or-death fight against some of the series' more downright die-hard MUs (like Jade, Bog, Andre, or human Mar), but he just has so much hax and evasiveness that he could probably both get out of dodge and leave his opponent in some impossible predicament-or outright dominate them in the confines of his black bar dimension.
I think you might be overstating him a bit, at least for now. His range of powers are completely absurd and busted, but they seem limited by his focus, and the fact that he doesn't seem to be able to do everything at once. Physically, calling him superhuman might be true, but that's par for the course in this universe, and he seemed evenly matched or even slightly unfavored with Violet in a brawl with no weapons/powers. I think he's one of the best characters in the series at extending the fight and being extraordinarily annoying, but seems to lack particular form that can easily overpower characters in this universe. He's basically an endless bag of tricks, and once characters get used to fighting him, I don't think he'd win most of the time. However, that's now. Give him time and a series to develop and that could easily change. He's clearly beginning his journey too, and once he develops better control over these powers/gets more self confidence, he could become a menace. For now though, he's the type of character you really, really want to have on your side, because if you need to delay an enemy for ten minutes, he probably could do it better than anyone else.
Woo!! Glad to see another gorgeous animation! As always, you're syncing animation is masterful. I feel as I did watching Shurikin's syncing animations back in the day of ye old sticks and such. Stoked for whatever you have stored in the future!!
I’ll never stop appreciating your animations, all the way back when I was a kid I watched them over and over again, maybe that’s why I love making fight scenes in my head when I’m listening to music.
As usual, the story is a bit hard to pick up on but really well-developed once you notice the details. Dummy was using his magic mask to perform to an audience of no one when Violet stops by. Not realizing she's an actual real person, he calls her up as his volunteer. He shows off an archery trick, and she thinks "I can do better." So she does. She likes praise and adoration as much as anyone (being a self-insert of an artist, after all) so she gets caught up in a game of one-upmanship with him which makes him mad. I wonder what the exact moment was when he realized she was real. She wins the fight, but realizes she was at fault for stealing his thunder. So she offers to be his first audience member. Thus she grows out of her over-competitiveness, and he gets to perform for a real person for the first time.
If Gildedguy entered the tent instead of Violet, Dummy would have been cooked the moment he challenged him. The elastic sword storm would have shredded the tent into small tears of fabric.
Unfortunately I missed this episode on GildedGala, because for some reason my notebook sometimes has no sound, and today it had no sound, but well, like all GildedGuy episodes, I'm going to watch it a thousand times!!!!
It's perfect! The start and fight scene was very creative with playing around dimension, light and letterbox! And also after credit scene wich is inside credits! It's just like a big bomb of happiness and inspiration. Thank you (team of animators) for your hard work! (Sorry for my english.)
I remember this guys first videos and I recently got this in my recommended and I’m amazed to see how far this TH-camr has come and how much more polished this artwork is getting, well done and keep up the good work I’ll keep watch from now on

its quite literally basement busk but theres an actual conflict and fight
I suppose that is a good way to compare it yes
Its like basement busk and Gg vs Jade mixed together!

Yeah most these fights are very petty
Wait, so if the tent and those people were not real and are only illusions. That just basically means he being praised by nobody and is performing to nobody… that’s hella lonely.
I think it's more for practice and raising self-confidence before performing before a real crowd.
Yep. And then add that the first actual person that gets in, who isnt even a performer, manages to be better than him at his own job. Thats always rough.
His own illusions were glazing someone else thats crazy

Love the animation! Was at the Gala, and Twitch stream! Amazing work! I really loved the score used for this and the fanart!
I find it interesting how Dummy was doing the circus routine perfectly until he had to compare himself to someone else - then it started falling apart
One could imagine the moral of the story is you shouldn’t be afraid to make mistakes but I also think it shows how even one good friend can really make your passions become all the more real and meaningful, even if it doesn’t become as big as you’d like.
Dummy’s abilities are pretty cool too, like he basically has a Domain Expansion of his own to chill in
That was amazing as usual
I'd also like to say that i like how these amazing stories don't always have to revolve around the main character, and still end up being the true masterpieces that they are
I'm glad that your able to just tell a story and it being amazing no matter what character its about
(I hope it makes sense of what i said)
OK, so violets main goal is to get to the coliseum, she enters dummys circus tent because she hears noises from it, fights dummy because she accidentally did everything better than him, violet becomes dummys first real audience?, dummy helps her get to the coliseum. good work, keep it up friend!
So happy to have been able to make time to for GuildedGala.
I can truly feel the heart that goes into these animations and it’s definitely left something with me to remember.
Watching this on really good low-range headphones, I was not ready for that bass note around the 0:40 mark. Holy cow that totally elevated the ambiance of the scene.
really hope Dummy becomes a side character who makes a guest appearence later in the story. awesome work gg
Considering the authenticity of his illusions, and the way his costume looks, it may seem that he is some kind of demon, and it’s good that he decided to use this power in no other way.
I love the simplicity of this story. The jealous clown from what I can interpret as a misunderstanding turns into a petty fight. Which is magnificently animated I think. Thank you for the treat
These animations hit hard with the music. I can’t wait to see more!!
1:10
Looks familiar 🤔
Jevil from deltarune
Also
7:26
This is going to be meme someday
Just got that feeling
i can hear the world revolving
I also keep thinking of Jevil every time😅
@CKgbus7 Sheesh, I thought I was the only one
Honestly it reminds me of jade waving goodbye to glided guy back at story 2
I loved this so much, also loved dummy’s design! (Simple yet charming, definitely would love to see him again)
Plus the nice wholesome ending was a cherry on top!
Everyone who worked on this killed it! I love the jesters design and mannerisms so much. Character acting was top notch in this one!
Rebonkulous should be very proud, this is extraordinary and fun
This is...wow. Alright. First things first. The animation has improved a lot and you can tell. There is passion oozing in each frame. The color schemes were fitting and helped to make the characters even more vibrant.
The designs were nice. You can really see more personality in the expressions and movements. There's individuality. Like that Violet is a sweetheart and that Dummy is insecure but also a showman.
Now to Dummy. I waited for him and I wasn't disappointed. His jester-like appearance and mannerisms were spot on. Entertaining, mischievous and comical. All I could ever want.
The story itself was nice to understand and witness. Maybe they could be friends in a future. That would be cute.
Final thoughts are, iam overjoyed and mesmerized. 🎭
That was an amazing side adventure, a real Big Top Rumble. Can’t wait to see what other fun these two get up to. 😊
THIS WAS SO GOOD AAAA Amazing story, animation, and that credits scene was so cute 😭 CONGRATS REBONK, GILDEDGUY, VOROX AND THE REST OF THE TEAM!!! 🎉 This was such a treat 💗💗💗
Gildedguy, make a gildednut 3 and my life is yours.
Oh and Rebonkulos COOKED with the animation.
This was an absolute "blast" to watch, loved every single bit of it, thank you for blessing us with this lovely animation once again gilded hero o7

SO IF YOURE LONELY
YOU KNOW IM HERE WAITING FOR YOU
IM JUST A CROSS HAIR
IM JUST A SHOT AWAY FROM YOU
I love gildedguy for this
I know someone, he's very special to me, actually, you said hi to him in your live, Alejandro!! Idk if you remember, in the Gildedgala XD, i actually became a fan of this whole channel and stuff because of him
Gotta be honest, previous works and trailers for this made me think the story would revolve around Violet and the troubles of being a kind of people pleaser, being forced to do a show, pulled by the strings, kinda like Gildedguy had to deal with trauma after fighting Bog. The whole thing ending up helping Dummy get through a time of loneliness is a sweet story though, as great as the animation itself ^^ can't wait to see Violet helping out other people on her travels and likely grow as a result, and hope everyone who participated in making this keeps their passion and enjoyment in doing this amazing work
0:08 already off to a banger start , i love how the first piece of background music is franz ferdinand’s take me out which was played in violets duelist demo
This was really refreshing and a fun watch, emotions and communication of ideas were portrayed really well and I was enjoying a lot of it. I don't usually stick around for credit scenes. So having the credits be what it was, came across as such a clever way to keep seats glued.
"Honey Wake up, Gildedguy Uploaded. Again"
This animations where you can see all the effort and love put into everything never fail at making my day. I hope i can keep looking forward to all the stories of these two.
This was adorable and amazing, awesome storytelling as always, I hope to see more of both characters in the future, Maybe in story 9 and 10!!!
Idk how yall do it but the space manipulation in these stories always makes the arena look so big its amazing🤩
Bro pulled out the Jevil boss fight, and said: but what if it was high quality and personal?
dang never in my life have i felt this heart touched i feel so so bad for Dummy cause having such low self esteem is quite terrible its intoxicating and especially trying to set very high standards for himself that would make things worst but having a friend or in this case real friend like Violet open his eyes on trying to do simple beginnings which in my opinion quite needed all performers start from somewhere even from scratch or from a friend
So, I was trying to enumerate the Dummy guy's powers. From a few dozen rewarches, I feel like we can safely say that he's one of the strongest characters we've seen featured in the GG series. Let's see here...
- Unconditional instantaneous short-ranged teleportation
- Stable, high-speed self-propulsion (fly-hacks)
- Advanced-level marksmanship proficiency (throwing the juggling props, shooting the arrow off Violet's head at range)
- Master-level martial arts proficiency
- Virtuoso-level performative gymnastics proficiency (circus boi)
- Superhuman-level strength, speed, reflexes, and dexterity
- Known object conjuring and levitation (he can make a functioning, lit cannon appear... can he conjure a nuclear bomb, or at least the Cier equivalent?)
- Manipulable heat and force type magical projection (the circus animals, the flame breath)
- Stable illusion projection (the whole circus around them, visible from afar by Violet)
- Clone jitsu (said clones only seem to be capable of physical force)
- 4th-wall manipulation (teleporting Violet onto a tightrope, trapping Violet with the "black bars", shifting gravity itself??)
- "Black bar" dimension, pure magic form (plunging Violet "outside of the frame" by collapsing the black bars on her, transporting her to a dimension outside of physicality that he could take on what seems to be the form of a magical floating face)
He doesn't seem to have significant durability or the mental resilience for a real life-or-death fight, but if he really exercised his powers to their full extent, he'd have at least draw odds against a few of the RHG characters we've seen GildedGuy fight or team up with. Most notably, I feel like his ability to attack using the meta perspective of the audience would let him gain the upper hand in either escaping or trapping foes more dangerous than him.
I do fear that one or more of his powers may be limited to his "tent domain expansion," which seems to be conditionally intact upon his mental state (being able to wear his mask), but given we know he can still conjure his performing props during the end credits and that Violet being a real audience seems to be helping him grow more mentally resilient, he may soon have it in him to use his powers without the validation of an audience. If that were the case, then I'd say that he probably could lowkey could go toe-to-toe with even GildedGuy himself for a good few minutes. I'm not even 100% whether or not GildedGuy could secure a clear win against him with that much hack factor.
So, yeah. I think Dummy ranks in the top 5 of the most powerful characters we've seen across the GildedGuy series. Definitely doesn't seem like he has the guts to outright win a life-or-death fight against some of the series' more downright die-hard MUs (like Jade, Bog, Andre, or human Mar), but he just has so much hax and evasiveness that he could probably both get out of dodge and leave his opponent in some impossible predicament-or outright dominate them in the confines of his black bar dimension.
I think you might be overstating him a bit, at least for now. His range of powers are completely absurd and busted, but they seem limited by his focus, and the fact that he doesn't seem to be able to do everything at once. Physically, calling him superhuman might be true, but that's par for the course in this universe, and he seemed evenly matched or even slightly unfavored with Violet in a brawl with no weapons/powers. I think he's one of the best characters in the series at extending the fight and being extraordinarily annoying, but seems to lack particular form that can easily overpower characters in this universe. He's basically an endless bag of tricks, and once characters get used to fighting him, I don't think he'd win most of the time.
However, that's now. Give him time and a series to develop and that could easily change. He's clearly beginning his journey too, and once he develops better control over these powers/gets more self confidence, he could become a menace. For now though, he's the type of character you really, really want to have on your side, because if you need to delay an enemy for ten minutes, he probably could do it better than anyone else.
Really good analysis
dang did not expect for this animation to be THAT good, honestly better then most animators i know keep up the amazing work!
Woo!! Glad to see another gorgeous animation! As always, you're syncing animation is masterful. I feel as I did watching Shurikin's syncing animations back in the day of ye old sticks and such. Stoked for whatever you have stored in the future!!
Wow, I didn't know our beautiful Violet would have a story to tell, because many people deserve trust and support from those who need it at all times.
Just like everytime Gildedguy cooks up the most greatest masterpieces 😎
I’ll never stop appreciating your animations, all the way back when I was a kid I watched them over and over again, maybe that’s why I love making fight scenes in my head when I’m listening to music.
This gives me "you're not just the clown. You're the whole circus" vibes
Woah the animation got much more detailed and the story is so cute and wholesome. Good job guys
As usual, the story is a bit hard to pick up on but really well-developed once you notice the details.
Dummy was using his magic mask to perform to an audience of no one when Violet stops by. Not realizing she's an actual real person, he calls her up as his volunteer.
He shows off an archery trick, and she thinks "I can do better." So she does.
She likes praise and adoration as much as anyone (being a self-insert of an artist, after all) so she gets caught up in a game of one-upmanship with him which makes him mad. I wonder what the exact moment was when he realized she was real.
She wins the fight, but realizes she was at fault for stealing his thunder. So she offers to be his first audience member. Thus she grows out of her over-competitiveness, and he gets to perform for a real person for the first time.
No matter your failures, keep aiming higher. You never know who you might inspire.
I am so happy I was able to catch the streams while this was made, so excited to see it air!
6:02 Love to see this bioluminescent vibe again similar to GG vs Bog. Very impressive stuff and I really liked this one. Violet is a sweetheart.
If Gildedguy entered the tent instead of Violet, Dummy would have been cooked the moment he challenged him. The elastic sword storm would have shredded the tent into small tears of fabric.
Dummy would've been cooked even harder in the performance battle, tbh
@RedstoneAnimatesandmore Gildedguy waving his light pen💀
@@jhoelogs108 he'd cook fr fr
Wait..isn't that before or a little during Story 7? So..Andre would still have the pen then.
True
5:10 never ever pause animations XD
Or slow down animations
@megax-lf3bn true
5:34💀

6:37
Unfortunately I missed this episode on GildedGala, because for some reason my notebook sometimes has no sound, and today it had no sound, but well, like all GildedGuy episodes, I'm going to watch it a thousand times!!!!
It's amazing how the quality of the animation has improved for both you and Rebunkulous, makes me more motivated to animate.
2:48 Violet so cute when she gets angry 💕
The song was so smooth with the animation as usual Can’t wait to see what’s next oh here we go another wait lol
Violet in the corner at the start of the video was a cute little detail 🥰
I swear, every single episode is just peak
Nice to have a more simplistic and meaningful story
the start of the music is so good I need it 🙏
PEAK!!
also was that a reference to story #0 at 6:32? it looked similar to when gildedguy used his paintbrush
Love the animation, especially dummy's design
Dummy: A child, I'M GOING TO WIN A CHILD 🗣️🗣️
It's perfect!
The start and fight scene was very creative with playing around dimension, light and letterbox! And also after credit scene wich is inside credits! It's just like a big bomb of happiness and inspiration.
Thank you (team of animators) for your hard work!
(Sorry for my english.)
I like how violet is just so bigeyed, cute as an angel
Your team gets better with every smooth and cohesive animation! Keep up the amazing work!
I can't wait to see who the next Challenger gilded guys going to face off against... Can we agree that Violet's just precious
I hope it's yupia
This is so wholesome and cool!
Merry Christmas btw
