Gildedguy vs Oxob - Story #6 (Full Animated Fight)

I swear I'm not evil

If any of you wish for context and analysis for this fight: Oxob was once a stuntman, who lost his hands when the helicopter he intended to jump from crashed. In hospital some shady government dbags offered to give him advanced prosthetics if he paid. Being wealthy from his many stunting ventures he agreed, however he did not realise that they were also intending to make him into a super soldier. He did not like this and escaped. The operation had left him flat broke, so he turned to fighting in RHG tournaments and discovered that he had a true love for fighting. However in his fight with a gladiator named Xenrath, a large boulder was about to crush his opponent. He pushed him out of the way but his legs were severely broken as the debris fell on him, resulting in him using advanced bracers to help him walk. He continued fighting, but his extensive injuries had taken away his enthusiasm for combat. This worsened in his battle against Jade, who defeated him with relative ease. In this video we can see that his insecurities and loss as Jade’s hands have made him develop some form a pyrophobia and have made him rely more on his enhancements. From his perspective, Jade is also prideful in her natural ability (seen from the hallucinations smirk), whilst he is ashamed of having nothing but his enhancements, which compensate for his crippled body. On the other hand GG, an impoverished artist/fighter, is suffering from his encounter with Bog in Story #4. In this, GG was beaten within an inch of his life and could only defeat the physically impervious Bog by cutting his palms and beating him within his mind space. However Bog’s influence is still clearly seen in this video, with the scars preventing him from putting on all of his armour and poisoning his brain via a form of PTSD. In my opinion the resolution of these problems is what makes this fight so great. At the start Oxob is critical of GG for fussing over the cuts on his hands, pointing out his much more prominent scars, essentially telling him to stop acting like a big child. He offers him a bandage to help him cover up the wound and the past it carries. GG doesn’t want this as he cannot ignore what happened and wishes to move forward, and so he swats away the bandage accidentally burning it. Seeing GG’s toxic pride, Oxob burns his cape and they begin to fight. Oxob’s lightning attacks cannot hurt GG’s body as his armour grounds him, but his hands are unprotected, so Oxob focuses his attacks on his weak point. GG realises that he must put on his gauntlets to have a chance, but doing so will remind him of his confrontation with Bog. GG attempts to overload Oxob with his Ben Franklin trap, which nearly shatters his bracers and diminishes his prosthetics charge, causing the red lightning (a symbol of his reliance on his enhancements). GG decides he cannot avoid his past anymore, accepting the pain it caused him both figuratively and literally, when he puts on his gauntlets. Doing so reopens the cuts on his hands, but his refusal to back down from the pain visibly purges the remnants of Bog’s influence from his mind. He stands anew. Oxob’s attack is again grounded when GG catches it. The heat from the lightning causes the ground to catch fire, which rises behind GG. As he is tossed to the ground Oxob is brought back to his defeat at Jade’s hands and his pyrophobia sparks up seeing the flames at GG’s feet. He expects to see the same prideful smirk on GG’s face until he notices the blood pouring from the wounds on his hands. Seeing GG fight despite the massive amount of pain he is in, inspires him. He stands up, and with each step, the bracers slowly fall apart, showing how he is relying on his own strength for the first time in a long while. The red lightning diminishes and with great agony he charges himself up, ready to fight once more. As he rediscovers his passion for fighting without worrying about his pride. He too stands anew. They fight without hesitation, as they have both overcome their demons.

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

3:18 I like to imagine that right here, Gildedguy suddenly remembered doing that cool spinny-attack thing during his fight with Bog and realized, "Oh yeah, I can do that" before proceeding to do that

Reasons of the battle: Story #1: Burnt bacon Story #2: Snacks Story #4: IDK, Bog is just a bastard Story #6: Burnt bandage

On top of being amazingly animated and being an emotional story without using any voices or dialogue, Gildedguy is subtly showing us his taste in music and how very varied it is without having us visit his playlist.

This has to be on the best experiences in my life. I literally cried and couldn't even fathom what PEAK I was experiencing. I'm blessed to have watched this 🙏🏿

Oxob's Slight smile at 6:49 in response to GG is just perfect, Perfect portrayal of healing. Hes going to be a powerful ally in the future.

My new favorite animation right here! The way they both concered their pain and their past was so well done! You're one of the few animators who can make me feel emotional for the characters. And your lightning effects are off the chain! This has inspired me to new levels and I'll really try to push myself with my next project! I'M SO GLAD YOU PICKED OXOB FOR THIS! <3

This is easily one of the best animated fights animated on YouTube

I just noticed that at 3:19 GG looks at bog in his sword. Which gives him the idea to pull the same move on Oxob that he did with bog in order to gain some ground in the fight because he was losing at that point. Amazing detail there. Loved the animation btw! (Note: I’m just now noticing this after Story 7 came out.)

4:03 is like- one of the coolest shots in this animation- the way he pushes away the split screen is so dope

I just learned from the Gildedguy webpage that the place they fought(Aegis Field) is place of healing. I love how the fight fits the lore AND has a deep meaning :D

The final segment was basically "Top 10 Fights That No One Actually Saw" (But if anyone was watching, they'll be boned beyond belief).

3 years later and I still can't stop thinking about how epic this animation is, not to mention the perfection of the lighting! Honestly one of the best animations I have ever seen on this platform.

5:49 is so fucking beautifully done, dawning the last bit of armor physically hurts GildedGuy to the point of tears because of the trauma he went through with Bog but you can see as he accepts that he's strong enough to get through this the last it of Bog's hold over him leaves and he returns to full form.

Gilded guy is still relevant over the years Such nostalgic feels

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

I’m so jealous of guidedguy’s skill to portray so much emotion and meaning through facial expressions and actions , chefs kiss

Remember when Camila Cuevas said she swears she isn't a bad guy?
