PICO ON THE RUN: HOUR 4 | Corrupted Crimson Friday

"We don't have much time, you have to WAKE UP!"
It's (finally) here!.
The final hour for pico on the run.
I had some trouble coming up with a decent conclusion for this week, after I kinda messed up hour 3's ending.
But hopefully this is a more fitting end lol.
The next CCF video should be senpai's hour 2 remaster!.

this is NOT part of phantom fear's corruption mod
this is a fan re-telling of the corruption story!

[@EliFranklin2023]

Pico's back on the run again, but it seems like the survivor's victory laps may not last for long. Pico's gonna have a large amount of corrupted going for him since he's escaped corruption twice and is also a huge threat. It also seems like Boyfriend is about to be hunted down by this mysterious person. One of my favorite episodes so far, keep it up!

[@noahthesk]

I loved how pico is not completely confident but still holding a strong confidence and was still strong enough to actually overpower the corruption enough to trigger it to play dirty then eyes showed up to seal the deal

[@PicoNewgroundsZ]

Loved this episode, Pico getting saved by eyes was cool as hell, and who knows, maybe Pico will go to the point of fussing wiith eyes and becoming an even bigger threat than the dearest themselfs

[@PoketronPokey404]

0:24 EYES!! 4:12 I guess lemon is a victim in this take and not the mastermind?

[@iceboyproductions]

I think you thought of it the wrong way. Monster is upset that he is losing and plans to bring backup so that he can corrupt them again.

[@edustudios]

this series went so far so good, idk why this is not popular, i love the pico shaking voice detail btw keep it up!

[@tylerfrazier9581]

I love the song like the first day on the run I love the work so make more vids like this pls :) i also love the fact that in picos mind he is not fighting himself but his illusions of the others (which are Skid and Pump & Bf) maybe in the others head's they are fighting their infected selves and their illusions of their loved ones infected making them not want to fight and just sit there seeing their friends, people they don't know, and their family and loved ones get infected and the only way to get saved is to either fight their infected selves until they desolve or find some sort of agreement to take control once again

[@Starly_entertainment]

OOHH pico came back, this is not how I expected this episode to look like at all, and I enjoy it keep up the good work❤

[@Squid_Salad]

LETS GO, PICO WINS!!

[@tx_987]

Very interesting episode we got here. Seems like Eyes was able to help Pico break out, I wonder if this'll continue and Eyes will play a key role in future weeks. That part at the end really has me wondering, though. Tbh, what I'm thinking is that this is some sort of Harvester type situation, and that character we see at the end is working for the Corruption and not the creator of the Corruption. The 'backup' the character refers to is likely Lemon Demon, and the 'overconfident runt' is obviously BF. If we're gonna have a Lemon vs BF type situation soon (or maybe even Lemon vs MM and BF, but that's if BF stayed with MM), then that's gonna change things quickly. Almost forgot to mention, but this episode is awesome. Corrupted Pico slowly disintegrating over the course of the song is such a nice addition, instead of making him fade away for example. Pico's notes changing and Eyes appearing behind him at times is also really neat ong

[@FlamingHatYT]

I was personally fine with Pico's end, since Boyfriend was also freed at around the same time, yet this was still a neat angle to go with. What I liked: Character dialogue between corrupted adds more to the scenes. The visual of what Pico is seeing through his corrupted eyes is a bit more interesting than just static. Watching Corrupted Pico literally falling apart like dust in the wind looks fantastic. You had so many different sprites for Pico's various parts in the song. The determined but uncertain ones, ones where he loses confidence, determined and certain (no sweating), Glowing Pico, Eyes Pico and the stages of damage on Corrupted Pico. Adding a brief false Skid and Pump + Boyfriend added some variety. Having special note icons is a less noticed detail that I always like to see. I can certainly see why this takes some time to make. What I didn't like: I was somewhat content with Pico being corrupted, but honestly this was well enough made that I don't really care about that. Pico's sight having an idle animation on Skid and Pump + Nene would have made it slightly more interesting as a background, though you did still include a variation of it later with Eyes. Corrupted Pico didn't have icon variation for the most part. Overall, my criticism with this is pretty minor and it is one of my favorite episodes of Corrupted Crimson Friday so far. I hope to see many more parts.

[@georgiepig5726]

For me personally i'm also fine with pico getting recorrupted but i don't care if bf was also freed around the same time as picos recorruption its horrible pacing and was a waste of the tankman weeks ending for pico to escape JUST to immediately get recorrupted right after thankfully this new ending fixes that problem somewhat by having pico break free again even if just outright undoing the bad writing decision to recorrupt pico again so soon would have been better this at least works as a good compromise to the story and keeps things flowing better

[@FlamingHatYT]

@@georgiepig5726 I mean sure, and that is the exact problem I had with Minus Corrupted. My perspective is that it is okay for one plot point to hit a dead end as long as one of the other main plot lines keeps going. If both Boyfriend and Pico got corrupted right away, I would be incredibly disappointed. If just one of them gets caught out, then I see it as fair enough. If we're going to review things as whether they are good writing or not, I think it it is a pretty nonsense plot twist that right after Pico loses, a god(?) comes out of nowhere to save him specifically. I thought it was cool though, so I can disregard whether it is actually reasonable to occur. Ultimately, I think the episode came out well though. I'm curious how they plan to juggle two separate groups of survivors on top of new people. (Considering how this episode went, it implies Mearest/Boyfriend and Pico cannot lose their next week. Or at least cannot lose and die. Plot Armour sounds wacky as heck, so maybe they will decide to scrap that angle.)

[@fizz5357]

@@FlamingHatYTI’m assuming Eyes specifically helped Pico because he was with the Spooky Kids, and was also weakened from just getting recorrupted. We also already knew Eyes was present because of him waking up Pump.

[@FlamingHatYT]

@@fizz5357 Hmm. Considering each of them were freed to some degree during the episode, I would consider them all possible choices if freely recorrupted was the standard. As for Eyes waking up Pump, that is something difficult to measure without Pyro's confirmation. Spooky Month canon seems to have Pump's eyes light up when he is in serious danger, so Pyro might just be following that angle. Of course if we involve Eyes at all, things get a little weird. Looking at Eyes as a character, it seems to be strong enough to 1 v 4 everyone here. Or at least that is how it appears to me. Not sure why it needs to act through any of them at all, but if Eyes did help Pump, then why couldn't he solo everyone on his own? Did Pyro decide Eyes is fairly weakish? Yet Eyes cannot be that weak if Pico was able to be freed from it. In case I was rambling too much, I am saying that Eyes has an impact that is difficult to measure without knowing Pyro's beliefs on what Eyes is and how strong it is.

[@fizz5357]

@@FlamingHatYT Based on Spooky Month, it seems like Eyes doesn’t like to directly interfere much, so it isn’t too much of a stretch to say he would only help a bit. Also, when I said recorrupted, I meant that Pico went from completely freed to fully corrupted, while the other three always had at least one corrupted eye, so their corrupted selves would probably be a bit stronger.

[@user-rt3kz3ee1g]

That part of pico`s vocals on the start is too good

[@Mr.Choices]

seems like my theory is making sense, corruption may use corrupted gf to beat dd because its the only chance... or just going to mm, what its a more logical and somewhat expected (because she's with bf)

[@MihneaGhimis]

Its clear As oposed to boyfriend Pico has plot armor

[@Carlcry]

W blue eye character it made pico break the corruption again now he’s on the run

[@mrTvguyman]

the characters name is eyes and he originated from spooky month 2: the stars

[@thecrossoverfanatic1339]

So I’m guessing the finale is gonna involve, Pico, BF, and Mearest?

[@lukasmazurkiewicz8855]

I just have a question for the story. Is Darnell okay?

[@EliFranklin2023]

I asked this on the discord server a day or two ago but I doubt we'll know until later on since it might spoil future weeks

[@user-rl7xd6mt3x]

So cool! Interesting Eyes did help Pico on future or not.

[@LeoGK62]

No way eyes made pico escape... Imagine if they manage to save nene and the spookers, no way gf and tankman win alone, i wasn't expecting an hour 4 to come, i'm curious to see what will happen next

[@Yourlocalhenryblockmin]

But this this is hour 4?

[@user-jw3cp2tu2v]

Fire!

[@yamil_10]

Incredible

[@tygaming_07]

I suppose that whoever the evil one behind the corruption is will send gf after bf since that will probably be enough to weaken him emotionally, tankman, the kids and nene will probably go after someone else sooner or later, anyway, this is a great episode as usual!

[@Rexollator]

Pyro cooking fr fr!

[@Somerandomdude653]

W episode (didn't even watch is fully lol)

[@evanbloxyt7367]

Eye see a fire song right here

[@fisunovmiroslav4515]

This episode was quite good! I think that there were some problems though. There was something wrong with the recording or smt. Also I don't really understand why pico is fighting his corrupted version. Shouldn't he be fighting the corruption itself? Although corrupted people have their own personalities and even call themselves by names, so it could be possible. The aong was nice, but it would be great to have a v2. The visuals were wonderful as always. It is also interesting what will happen to bf. He was with Mearest, so he ahould be fine if the weren't separated. I don't think Mearest would just leave hom behind.

[@blacktiger9069]

Cool

[@Escape2.0OmagaPicoWha]

Fire song!

[@electro735]

this so cool0_0

[@jangaluzinskiy5276]

I have two questions, the first, as I understand it, Pico was freed with the help of a monster from the Skid and Pump universe, the second, who was it at the end?

[@FlamingHatYT]

Yes, Eyes is a character in the Spooky Month series. As for the second, I am guessing this story's version of the harvester, but I could be mistaken.

[@user-vv8rc5km3c]

Yeah ! Pico escaped !

[@Woodyyyeahdude]

We have to atleast get an good ending with this.

[@Theturtleweallknow]

They didn’t even corrupt another person they just set them free I don’t think pico lasting much longer makes sense his strength has been weakened from saving himself so many times

Okay but like where bf and mm at
