Yeah, otherwise he would have been really manipulative and an expert at guilt-tripping others. A lot of people see him as an autistic person, me included. And, we tend to feel A LOT. So some might unintentionally guilt-trip others without meaning to because of this. Since Gus himself is aware of the pain it can cause others, he only use it as a last resort. Some autistic people can get stuck in a "you did this to me so now I have to do this to you so we're even" kind of thinking, calling it justice. Others think like that because they know some people only learn when they lose something or someone themselves. Gus knows better, which is great for both him and everyone else. Otherwise, the story would have been so different from what it is now!
3:45 my boy Gus making the self-proclaimed witch-hunter scream in agony at the age of 12 is one of his best moments. Imagine the feats he'll be able to pull when he's older. Illusionists are very underrated.
Luz: I use the power of magical glifs! Willow: I use the power of nature! Amity: I create abominations out of strange goo! Gus: I will destroy your mental health!
The illusion coven head literally had to be pulled out cause they were so traumatized. Gus is literally one of the most powerful characters in the entire show
we rewatching hooty's moving hassle and eda says they must be super powerful, people thinking she just meant willow w/ gus saying he knows what he's about. Meanwhile this absolute POWERHOUSE exists. Like, one of them both used the wrong words AND has absolutely NO MAGIC. And Amity's also op and she couldn't move a single doll with two magic users. They have to be some of the most powerful witches on the Isles.
It’s even worse when you remember he’s the youngest of the group by 2-4 years. They’ve all gone through traumatizing situations but he isn’t as mentally matured yet as the rest of them
God call me cringe but I made a fanfic in my head about this Luz and the hex side gang confront gus But fog like seen at 1:02 surrounds them Luz hears sirens in the back,she’s infront of her mom,An ambulance in the road,it’s her dads death Amity sees her worths memories with Odalia or bullying willow Hunter goes through trauma party Willow gets a mental breakdown that she can do this
When my friend and I first started watching the show and everyone was making fun of Gus for being a weak illusionist, we joked about how Gus would end up being super OP because he would use his illusions to enact psychological warfare on people Little did we know…..
OKAY THE THING IS . gus has seen actual living memories of belos. not just pictures like hunter/luz or us as the audience. he saw belos kill his brother. he saw belos abuse hunter. he saw belos create grimwalkers. the animators/dana is only showing us pictures of it but belos is obviously not seeing the pictures he's seeing the memories so POOR GUS HAVING TO LIVE THROIGH THAT
That’s probably why Gus was the only one who broke down crying after the door to the Demon Realm was shut. Everyone else was in shock, but Gus fell apart almost immediately. It must have hurt having to go through that.
Lord, the penitence stare was one of the scariest powers of the ghost rider. Imagine being forced to watch every bad thing you ever did until your soul is burned to ashes, leaving behind a hollow shell for a body
Man if only Disney had given us our damn full third season, maybe we could’ve gotten at least a small explanation on what’s made Gus, and by extension Willow, so powerful!
@@caltheuntitled8021 Good joke- but I do hope that if Dana got her full third season, she’d explore more how those two have gotten so good at their preferred magic
Willow likely just always had an interest in plants, but never realized until Bump said “girl, what r u doing in the abomination track?”. Once she was moved, she excelled cuz she always had the knack for it. Maybe part of why she was a “slow developer” was cuz she is only good at one thing, where she’s immensely talented at it, and cuz she tried magic outside of what she liked or was good at (like how most schools push ppl into learning everything rather than perfecting skills) she appeared as a slow developer. (Also, calling someone “half a witch” when their species is “witch” is messed up. That’s like calling someone “half a human”). As for Gus, he skipped 2 years. He was a gifted kid who was ahead of the curve in other ways, and since ppl identify him as coded autistic (maybe he’s like a savant), he likely is already strong and just needed to catch up in other ways.
The thing about life is that some people are just born better at certain things then other people are!🤷 And as long as the characters aren't amazing at EVERYTHING they do, (Willow for example sucks at Abomination magic despite being a prodigy in the plant Department!) I don't mind writers using that as an explanation for a characters overwhelming skill!
@@BEE-oz7yd Very true, I just would’ve loved for there to be a chance that it could be acknowledged how those two became so proficient with their tracks of choice. We know Amity’s proficiency comes from her parents, most likely, but not anything for Gus, or Willow. Which especially sucks for Willow, because I’d love to learn if her strength with plants is why her dads insisted she stay in the Abomination Track
From what happened to Wiloow, I believe when a witch goes under amount of stress or emotion, their magic becomes even stronger and more dangerous... and scary.
There's definitely some weight to that, as we see in the last episode eda and king became.much stronger because of their grief, it's possible strong emotions amplifies magic
Considering that the magic bile sac is connected to the heart, it makes sense that stress would cause an increase in magic production as your heart starts racing
@@vixymix101 Of course! Stress, would increase your adrenaline, and your body uses it as a defence. So in a way, it's a mental version of a reflex, when you react to something and your body takes control and moves you from being hit or something. However, with a Bile-Sack, the body makes its own magic controlling it, removing all threats. With Gus, it prevented Adrien and the Scouts from studying him more, and made them surfer bad memories with the power of illusions
@@vixymix101 you are correct, Dana confirmed the eye glow and strong emotions increases a witch’s powers bc of the bile sack being attached to the heart! The moment a witch is eye glowey, you’re screwed.
@@heatherramirez6141 technically, the plant glyph was placed inside grometheus, causing it's body to explode into pieces, so it doesn't necessarily come in contact with the creature when it made the tree. since it is a shapeshifting, deformed creature that can take any shape or form, it can definitely come back and rebuild itself again. at the end of the grom dance between amity and luz, you can see parts of grometheus trying to escape.
Eda: by not confining myself to a coven and using the wonders of wild magic, I am one of the strongest witches on the boiling isles! Luz: using glyphs that I've learned, I can use magic in a unique way that (almost) nobody has discovered! Amity: I can summon powerful abominations that earn me the name "Blight" and "top student!" Willow: Plant magic is my calling, and I proved it by covering the whole school in vines! Gus: P S Y C H O L O G I C A L W A R F A R E
Tbh Gus deserves more screen time- LIKE LOOK AT HIM, he's such an underrated character, I kind of wished there were some moments when Gus talked about the memory that Belos had
i'm sure if we had a full s3, most of the things we should've looked into (like the human realm adventures and hunter's past etc.) would've be discussed by now. if only we had 20 more adventures.
One of my friends believed that Gus was the weakest of the Main 5, but considering that he successfully took down a coven hand and did it alone, I think there's more than enough evidence that he's the STRONGEST of the group. Especially when you remember that HE'S THE YOUNGEST. By the ending of the show, Gus is only around 16, yet has demonstrated some insane feats is crazy. Also the fact that he Traumatized Adrian and then stole his earring is iconic
The thing about Gus is it doesn’t matter how strong you actually are, this fight isn’t about strength it is about if you can stand Gus’s illusions. He doesn’t strike you physically, he instead goes straight for the mental stuff and seeing as he can cause nightmares about things he doesn’t even know about you like with Belos or the Coven Head he put into a temporary coma of trauma this effectively means it is your own mind against you Add on the fact he convinced someone their magic was broken and that their hands hand crumbled away while adding in the feeling of touch and yeah we are lucky Gus isn’t bloodthirsty because you’ll be lucky if you even see the real him in this battle
I'm glad they didn't ignore the Illusionist track and showed how strong it can actually be through Gus, otherwise it probably would have still been pretty weak
I'm liked the detail of Gus having doubts about the magic's strength, no doubt the sentiment of some viewers of the show. I've seen enough anime to know "yeah, genjutsu ain't nothing to mess with," but younger viewers got a great taste through that Gus-centric episode.
The fact that Adrian was pleading for the memories to stop goes to prove just how powerful Gus is, that even the head witch had no idea what to do in that moment to stop the spell.
i always underestimates illusion abilites before yet i never realized most lethal attacks both in movies, cartoons, and anime were illusion-based. If you are powerful enough, you could make someone delirious and everyone would think of them as crazy
3:10 "I'm sure Belos will be proud to know that one of his captain was taken down by a group of teenagers and their talking dog" King: "I AM NOT A DOG!!"
probably rly embarrassing moments like when u think a stranger says something or waves to u but they didnt wave at u and someone behind u 💀he seems fragile
In Dungeons and Dragons, there's a lot of different damage types, depending on what weapon or spell is used. One of the lesser seen damage types is Psychic damage, because that's usually restricted to higher level Illusion spells, so it's safe to say that Gus might actually be one of the most powerful in the group in system terms.
Illusionists always seen to get the low end of the deal when its a good guy, but pokemon like mr. Mime and gus show that illusions scary. A mental specialist plus illusionist can be a perfect combo.
he traumatized purple girl(i forgot her name bc she isnt important) to the point where she didnt make a comeback in the show- also gus is literally so powerful, like he can make people think their magic isnt working.
I'm surprised Adrian Graye didn't offer Gus to be his apprentice and heir to the being a head witch because Gus clearly has talent for illusions that no one could understand
Depending on the strength of the spell on type of illusion magic ( you bend light and sound to make the illusion vs you are messing with their mind directly) Gus could kill someone or at the very least trap them within their own mind
the ruins episode show just how devastating illusion magic can be. the power of belief is a great and terrible thing. since witches rely on their hands to draw circles in the air to conduct their spells, if you make them believe that their hands are petrified or destroyed, they can't cast their magic in a controlled manner. make them believe they're blind and they shall become blind.
Magic: Illusion. A magic that effects ones mind. You know the mind. The thing that defines everything you experience in your life. Which is why I've always hatted when people say its the weakest magic. And love using it personally, in games like D&D. Mind over matter people. It's far more then a saying. XD
The Cipher: Ha ha! I love it when Gus is traumatizing those idiots. Makes my heart bloom. You know... Scarecrow might use the boys illusion for fear! But... If it was Joker... Ha! It be a mad house! Oh oh!! Now that's funny.
They have Gus agreeing he's weaker, and that's a stone cold lie! There's a reason that 4 kids stood a chance. Those 4 kids combined are crazy powerful, and they're just kids!
Wait a minute... IN THANKS TO THEM GUS MAKES THE DISHES WASH THEMSELVES WHEN ME AND MY SISTER WERE WATCHING IT FOR THE 100TH TIME SHE TOLD ME "isn't Gus an illusionist??" DID GUS MAKE AN ILLUSION OF THE DISHES WASHING THEMSELF-
Gus can break your mind, send you insane, bluff like holding a gun that isn't really there, replay the most horrid of memories, make it seem like you are the only one left, *gus can trick your mind into going insane*

Honestly he’s so underrated. Like all the power doesn’t mean anything if you can’t see anything except for a nightmare.
Yeah he made a whole infinite tsukuyomi
i lowkey think he is already. the illusion leader guy was in tears after what gus did
I think they are like elementals, willow is the most powerful plant sorcerer ans she never had classes
He could be a coven head
It's a good thing Gus only pulls out his "technique of trauma" when he absolutely has to and only to those that need to be taught a lesson.
Yeah, otherwise he would have been really manipulative and an expert at guilt-tripping others.

Damn, if Gus was an antagonist we would all be screwed.

I gotta acknowledge Hunter here. He broke through a sphere of hard PTSD to save Gus. It’s one of his best episodes.
You know I find the really scary thing to be that half the time he does it by pure accident.
Gus intuitively understands Wyrd magic. The most compelling, terrifying, fate defining, all consuming knowledge for someone is their Wyrd.
pros:
can make people relive their trauma
cons:
also affects self
This child is single-handedly keeping the therapy industry alive

Hunter and Gus have such a good big brother little brother relationship

You know, the thing about illusion is that it’s a trick of the senses. So just make someone think they smell, hear, see, AND feel it.
I've heard some say the illusionist is a weaker coven, but if really wanted to, a illusionist could f*ck you up, just like what Gus did to Graye.
3:37 he actually traumatised himself after seeing the illusions he gave Belos

Okay illusion magic is actually pretty terrifying if it can make you see/relive traumatizing memories.

There's a reason that 4 kids stood a chance. Those 4 kids combined are crazy powerful, and they're just kids!
An illusionists job is to traumatize people
-my dnd character probably
GUS used TRAUMA BEAM!
It's super effective!
Gus is an awesome but terrifying illusionist when someone makes him mad
"Time to calm down a little" *shows him his worst memories*
This is the moment gus porter became Gustavo Fringe
Fringe :)
takes sticks and stones can break my bones but memories hurt much worse to a new level
Imagine getting traumatized by a 13 year old
That’s was amazing
3:38
Why is no one talking about the fact that if it wasn’t for a falling rock, Gus could’ve soloed Belos
Gus is practically the Teferi of MTG, only he manipulates lessons instead of time.
I see Gus more like Jace Beleren, who is a planeswalker who specializes in illusions as well.
1:40 Amity: Oh Hexside!! R rated horror in a Disney cartoon! Aaaaaagh!
Wait a minute... IN THANKS TO THEM GUS MAKES THE DISHES WASH THEMSELVES WHEN ME AND MY SISTER WERE WATCHING IT FOR THE 100TH TIME SHE TOLD ME "isn't Gus an illusionist??" DID GUS MAKE AN ILLUSION OF THE DISHES WASHING THEMSELF-
"You can face death, but can you face your self?"
~Gus if he were to take someone to angst town.
And then he loses his face, how poetic! 🛎️🛎️🛎️🛎️
Its scay how powerful how main characters would be if they just didnt care
Gus can break your mind, send you insane, bluff like holding a gun that isn't really there, replay the most horrid of memories, make it seem like you are the only one left, *gus can trick your mind into going insane*
Illusions don't just include visual...
but auditory and sensory details as well...
Yeah... gus is horrifying
The true people he traumatized… were us
gus saw the emperor memories and saw about hunter not being like them
Augustus, the mightiest Uchiha. Sorry, Sasuke.
gus went from “Hehe look at my fairies!” to “Fuck you *traumatizes his enemies*”
Bro shoulda got more recognition in the final season. Got did dirty
just remeber that gus was 12 years old.
and now he's 18 time flies
@@Lara-vo6rp well luz is 18 meaning gus was 16 at the end of the series.
@@Turmerictoons wait i thought everyone was 18 at the end
@@Lara-vo6rp nope, gus is 16. he was just way ahead in school so he was in the same grade as the others.
@@Turmerictoons ah i see
I think its curious that the last frane of the video is probably the exact moment he realised what exactly was Hunter
He has such power that he even traumatized himself...
Multiple times...
Tbf Illusionists are powerful depending on how creative they can use their powers
this is why i think gus is more powerful then willow
nice plant magic
now face all the trauama in existence
Love how the last person Gus traumatizes in this video is himself
imagine if Gus eventually makes hard light constructs.
Gus is weirdly strong compared to everyone else we just dont see his real power much
Gus ❤ my fav character
