Beautiful my friend! 💕🔥

So is it canon that Larry is dead? Is his story over?

11:02 imagine you wake up from a long and heavy sleep and the first thing you hear is "help me bury this dead body"

[@Greyedin]

@Cheerie🌟🍒 agreed

[@Hyun]

Yet another banger from Sopple. Love how you are trying out new tools, new methods of story telling, and leaving this anim to a lot of interpretation.

[@hellocratle9406]

Hi boss

[@LucHD]

One: *just woke up* Skid: help me bury this body One: *back to sleep*

[@gildedguy]

This was so incredibly disturbing, but also very touching - I loved it!

[@Youare-U]

Hi

[@douvknock2287]

Wow

[@lordroboslayer3666]

My thoughts exactly

[@reubensanimatingchannel]

Agreeable

[@odysseynicole7446]

Hi gildeguy!!

[@forcer2229]

I like how Larry's eyes are "shining" while Skid and One both dont. At the end, it seems Skids eyes now have a "shine" to them and his face looks less grim and way more child-like, which I think is a nice touch in showing Larrys impact on him

[@ihap5180]

I like how all the characters so far have a connection to one another. 001 has family trauma like Skid does, Larry used to only be an emotion less killer like Skid. Each character had an effect on one another. 001 and Skid became allies due to their trauma effecting them in similar ways and Larry helped Skid get out of his murderous episode along with helping Skid learn how important sadness is.

[@tertiuswhite6329]

Looking back one thing I find really interesting is how skid killing Larry actually kinda mirrors how umbrella kills ALFA, especially with skid and umbrella having a similar “forced soldier” backstory.

[@tertiuswhite6329]

10:57 I love how one is able to sleep through the whole fight, but skid yelling hey is what finally gets him up

[@luckych6348]

and the first thing he saw is skid and a body on his board

[@mrbloby8806]

It is cannon now that one snores when he sleeps

[@derpengineer6098]

The chills in the animation is insane that takes a stickman to meet others who share a similar background

[@silverbolt9749]

The fact that Larry uses his time dead to talk to ghost... I just love it

[@lightworks186]

"Kids are so cute" aint no way bro said that after got killed by a kid💀

[@roxbianne]

a 12 yr old with trauma murdered him and hes like “hes awesome”

[@zozmoonbow]

It's like those times when kids say the most outlandish, creepy, nightmare fuel stuff and then their parents say "ain't they the cutest things ever?"

[@luckych6348]

12:16 that slap was personal

[@user-pb9bu6gt4o]

R.I.P Larry. He was not only a good soldier, but also a good person(or stickman).

[@spysniper7010]

He really let Skid win. This man really like that strong that: 1. He didn't die, even though he got himself stabbed once... but worse than all 28 times than that guy from Detroit became human got stabbed, doubled. (I know he was on Rice, by the big R, that special stuff, but still, his guts were inside out, litterally fell out as the board left his body.) 2. This man planned all of this. 3. He really did all this, just to help out the kid. Larry's a goat. Also, really good animation Soapy. And pretty good writing. The quality, as always, never going down and i like how you're trying out some new stuff.

[@HanifAnims]

Another unique yet great animation that gives me weird feelings, in a good way! This increases my motivation to work on my current duel So, is Larry officially dead? Because i want to duel him someday...and you :D

[@doctornyannyan7901]

Nah. He's fine. The rice healed him at the end, at least that's what Larry himself said lol.

Dam skid really did pull a 2002 spider man green goblin glider death blow . 😳 The disrespect.

[@Tankem]

Larry is always 4 universes ahead of everyone else. No wonder he can't die.

[@Spacedoughnut]

that was amazing, it is beautiful, Skid is evolving as a human 🥰

[@Tankem]

The character development of Skid and his connections to other characters is really interesting!

[@mr_moon4152]

I like that you communicate the character's past. Compared to other animators, you show the emotions of the fighters and their personalities through their interactions.

[@TheCrazyKarma]

Had to wait a few days so I could watch it with someone else, and this shit was fantastic. Your visual storytelling is once again fantastic. While the One fight was heartbreaking throughout then beautiful, this one was truly disturbing in parts. It really showed how bad Skid had it back in blackwatch, and the similarities he shares with past larry/Rens. Parts were making my watch partner have to look away from how vividly graphic they were. And yet in the end it was beautiful once again. I absolutely love following this story!! You did an amazing job! (Also I loved Larry's post dialogue and I popped off HARD for Ghost, lol)

[@mxschxxf]

Soapy never ceases to amaze me. Such a hard and talented worker! The dojo will always support you and we're proud to have you here. Thanks for another gem! :)))

[@eiusus1421]

Dude, that gave me goosebumps. I'm looking forward to this fight! :D Last duel was amazing, also got me hooked on "Aglow".

[@kyiozz]

this is insane. unsettling and really well done, this genuinely made me tear up.

[@xSallvix.1503]

Why is this animations makes me cry so hard. But also, i really love it.

Literally, a work of art. A true masterpiece. I really enjoyed this animation. Well done, Soapy. Really well done!

Skid is lucky Larry went peacefull mode on him.

[@kotegawahayama7308]

If Larry has his sword , maybe the duel could have changed

[@reubensanimatingchannel]

yeah it could've he is pretty strong with the sword showing great capabilities and good swordsmanship

[@frauddragonet3137]

the emotions your able to convey on their faces never fail to amaze me

[@curepanda2646]

So to put it simply, Larry let Skid win - just to let him “get loose” (show more of his humanity). I called it that this guy can’t die THAT easily XD The last one though at the end…well, this should interesting. O.O Your work is so abstract but immediately understood by its messages and tone of the story. Its really impressive~

[@alaynac1610]

[@Angelgames21257]

it's clear that Skid, One and Larry shared similar backgrounds. Skid and One Both lost someone dear to them and it forever changed their lives. One the other hand, Skid and Larry were tortured and forced into THE perfect soldiers, Soldiers that have no emotions nor regards. But it's clear that Skid can't control his dark entity, as it took over Skid's body and killed Larry.
