The Second Coming wakes up in a black void and is met by the number 1 descending to his level. Curious, he touches it, expanding it into (reflexive property). He then crosses one stroke of the equals sign with the other, turning it into a plus sign and changing the expression into . Then, by copying and pasting a +1 from the equation, The Second Coming produces , and so on until . He copies a 2 from 12, expands it into (an equivalent form) briefly, then adds 2 until he reaches 20; then he takes the 20 and adds that until he reaches 100. The Second Coming celebrates this accomplishment, only to feel dejected upon seeing the vast, empty world he's in.
The Second Coming, now realizing the scope of his solitude, sits down hard in sadness, jostling the equals sign and causing a in the equation to simplify into 40. Once again interested, he presses down the equals sign, combining the terms on the left side to . He takes a copy of the plus sign for safekeeping, then finishes simplifying into . Then, taking only a single line from the equals sign, The Second Coming creates a minus sign, and with a copy of the 1 from the 100 on the right he subtracts by 1, he produces . He performs further subtraction and finds that . Curious, he then takes another -1 and subtracts from the expression again, forming the equation .
When The Second Coming goes to inspect the new result, the twitches. Knocking on it reveals Euler's identity, , who kept its distance as The Second Coming approached it. Euler then flees the scene through a white door by putting an i (the imaginary unit, satisfying ) behind itself. The Second Coming gives chase, but is unable to follow it through the door, and returns to the equation for further experimentation, simplifying it into .
After failing to summon Euler's identity again, The Second Coming tries adding -1 to itself, producing and , before adding a second negative sign to -3 and watching the negatives cancel out into ( and ). He copies another minus sign from the equality for later use. Then, he adds a +3 to the right side of the equation before turning the plus sign 45 degrees. In response, the on the left expands into a three-by-three grid of s rather than a single line, adding up to (visualising multiplication as repeated addition, and also the area of a rectangle). The Second Coming expands one of the 3's on the right into , adds another +1 into the parentheses, and watches as the grid on the left adjusts to match it. He turns the multiplication sign and the expression shifts into other ways to represent 12 using factor pairs; namely , , and in order.
Simplifying the expression into , The Second Coming wonders what would happen if he tried the same thing with a minus sign rather than a plus sign and changes the equation into . Turning the slash transforms it into the obelus division sign (÷), and expands the left side into , revealing that the 3 came from counting the number of times 2 can be subtracted from 6. The Second Coming then expands the 2 into and adds another 1 to it, creating (6 can subtract 3 twice). He exchanges a plus sign for a minus sign (making and partially cancelling it out to 1), watching as 1 is subtracted from 6, six times. He then subtracts 1 again, creating on the right side of the equation, and The Second Coming watches as an endless stream of 0's are subtracted from 6 (demonstrating that ). He shuts it off, converts the slash back into a minus, and simplifies the equation into .
The Second Coming then turns the equation into , becoming (repeating addition twice), and turns into (revealing exponentiation as repeated multiplication of the base an exponent number of times), catching his attention. He then adds 2 to the base, becoming . The Second Coming then touches the equals sign to see a large amount of 1's arrange in a square (demonstrating as the area of a square with side length ). The Second Coming then turns the plus into a minus, making only of the 1's remain. This is then simplified to , and The Second Coming then adds 1 to the exponent, seeing the 1's turn into greater dimensions up to 5. The Second Coming then simplifies the equation , evaluating it to 1024. He then repeatedly decrements the exponent, seeing that the result divides by 4 for each time (showing that ), ending up with . The Second Coming then decrements the exponent, resulting in (showing that for all ≠ 0). He then makes the small number go into the negatives, resulting in a reciprocal of the result as a positive exponent (showing that ). The Second Coming then interferes with the line, turning it into a division sign, then the alternative division sign. He then simplifies the equation and makes the -1 turn into a fraction. He then makes the below fraction turn into 2, making the equation 2.
Shortly after that, The Second Coming obtains the square root radical sign. He then subtracts 2 from the radicand (the number in the square root), creating an irrational number. Through subtraction, he then makes the radicand 1, fixing everything and vanishing the irrational number. He then makes the radicand 0, making the result 0. He then makes the radicand turn into , creating i. The Second Coming then grabs the i and makes the equation . He turns the plus sign to see that the result is . He then multiplies i again, summoning Euler's identity, multiplied by i. Euler's identity goes away slowly. Once The Second Coming starts moving towards it, Euler's identity growls and starts running away. Euler's identity then opens up a portal, making the i barely miss. This gives Euler's identity a minus sign. The Second Coming opens Euler's identity's mouth, only for it to transform into it's function form, throwing The Second Coming away. Euler's identity then throws the minus sign at The Second Coming, mirroring him. Euler's identity creates a semicircle, allowing it to flee easily. The Second Coming then multiplies his legs, making him faster. Then, he throws the negative sign at Euler's identity, flipping him.
Then, Euler's identity starts a sword fight with the Second Coming. Euler's identity grabs a negative sign using his mouth, while the Second Coming grabs an addition sign. They then grab a 1, and hit each other's swords, thus cancelling the ones by turning them into 0. Euler's identity eventually turns his 1 into 4 and destroys the 1 and subtracting the sword's blade by 1, only for the Second Coming to regenerate his 1. Euler's identity is later thrown away by the Second Coming, who then creates a bow that shoots 4's by rotating the plus by 45 degrees and duplicating his 2. When the Second Coming shoots, Euler's identity divides their π by four, creating an arc that elevates them and enables them to walk on a plane above. The Second Coming continues to shoot his bow after chasing Euler's identity, with the 4 missing every time. Then, he multiplies himself by i, creating an arc that propels him upward, but the 4 still misses Euler's identity. The Second Coming lands on the ground, destroying the equation and his bow in the process.
The Second Coming then collects his bow, the multiplication symbol, and an i, and tries to grab the second i before its dot falls to the ground. Curious, the Second Coming gathers most of the i and investigates the dot and throwing it into the air, creating the imaginary axis before he catches the dot and it disappears. He then throws the dot harder and creates a longer line, before it falls into the ground. He then grabs it, making that line disappear. He then throws it in front of him and creates the real number axis. That axis then disappears once he grabs the dot. Then he puts it in front of him, then above him, and traces a perfect unit circle. He then puts it back in the right side of the circle and proceeds to spin it, which makes him discover radians. The Second Coming then grabs a portion of the circle, bending it and turning it into a line. He then puts the line in front of him, discovering that the radius is equal to its length, before the it turns back into a curve. He multiplies the curve, creating two of them before he places the curves back into the circle. He expands the radius, revealing the expression .
The Second Coming walks towards the equation and pulls r's value out, revealing . He adds 2 to 5, making the circle bigger. He then changes the plus sign to a minus sign, making the circle smaller. He simplifies the equation and puts it back into r. He looks at θ and plays around with the symbol. Using θ, he stretches the circle and moves its radial line around. He puts a division sign between θ and r, then turns the radial line 180 degrees to discover π.
After duplicating π, The Second Coming splits his duplicate into cos(τ) and sin(τ). He plays around with the functions like swords, then taps a point on the circle with sin(τ), making the point rotate around the circle and forming a sine wave traveling to the right. He taps the point with cos(τ), stopping the wave. He then taps the point with cos(τ), and it forms a sine wave upwards. He stops the wave again. He taps the point with both functions, and both waves appear again. He multiplies sin(τ) by i, turning the horizontal wave 90 degrees counter-clockwise and forming a ribbon-like pattern. He puts the functions together, adding them and replacing τ with π, and Euler's identity appears again.
Euler's identity runs away again, The Second Coming grabs him and then Euler's identity creates a math sword, while The Second Coming grabs a part of circle. Euler's identity and The Second Coming then fight each other, until Euler's identity's math sword evolves, throwing The Second Coming onto the ribbon-like pattern. The Second Coming then grabs out his bow, shooting at Euler's identity. However, Euler's identity evolves into its Taylor's series and shoots a math rocket at The Second Coming, causing The Second Coming to evade. The Second Coming then dodges the rockets. He then makes a shield out of the circle, giving him protection. He then multiplies his shield by 8, turning into a cylinder hitting Euler's identity. They get hit back into the , so they then rearrange the symbols and insert themselves into the equation to make . Seeing this, they continually rotate the radius inside of the theta on the left side of the equation to make theta larger, basically making the circle larger. This circle pulls The Second Coming in. The Second Coming, seeing this, divides his cylinder by 8 so it's more portable.
When Euler's identity lunges at The Second Coming, he puts a negative sign on himself, effectively teleporting him to the opposite side of the circle. Euler's identity gets mad, so they evolve into its Taylor's series and starts shooting math rockets at The Second Coming again. He sees the point on the side of the radius. The Second Coming then grabs a part of the circle and multiplies it by 4, so he can reach the point. He then grabs it off and strikes it with the . This generates a sine wave that knocks Euler's identity out of the circle. Euler's identity then devolves into their original form and turns into , then transforms into , which clones Euler's identity by 4. These Euler’s identities devolve into cos(π) and then proceeds to multiply into four again, making sixteen of Euler’s identities. It can be further assumed that these Euler’s identities did this process many more times to make a massive hoard of them. Meanwhile, The Second Coming builds a function gun of .
The Second Coming shoots at the horde of Euler's identities which attack him back. During the fight, The Second Coming manages to grab an infinity symbol from an Euler's identity in Taylor's series form and affixes it onto his function gun, dramatically increasing its power and allowing the stick figure to easy eliminate the Euler's identities.
The remaining Euler's identities retreat outside the circle and combine to form a huge entity that absorbs the function gun's blast into an integral. The Second Coming is no match for it and gets knocked back into the circle. The Second Coming moves the circle upward in the imaginary axis and places the function gun at the center of the circle, which he hits with the sine and cosine hammers repeatedly to cause the circle to emit powerful blasts at the huge Euler's identity entity. Finally, after increasing the radius of the circle, The Second Coming destroys much of the Euler's identity entity, and the original Euler's identity attempts to retreat to the imaginary dimension. However, The Second Coming grabs a smaller circle, places some numbers with a multiplication sign, and rolls into Euler's identity into the imaginary dimension.
Upon seeing cracks forming in the dimension, The Second Coming panics and escapes the dimension with Euler's identity. He asks for a truce, and Euler's identity agrees. The Second Coming then asks for a way out of this void. Eventually, using the circle earlier, Euler's identity turns off its beam, decreases its radius, and sends The Second Coming out of the void.
Zeta, Phi, Delta, and Aleph then show up, and they walk away together with Euler's identity.

Classical physics[]
Directly after Animation vs. Math, the animation starts with The Second Coming floating in space, then falls down to a white floor. The Second Coming walks and a distance line appears on the bottom, indicating how many meters he has walked, immediately after that a velocity vector appears on the top, calculating his velocity in m/s. The Second Coming gives a few taps on the distance line, then a displacement line appears, showing how much progress in meters he has walked.
The Second Coming eventually walks into a "slippery floor" due to friction. He then receives help from what seems to be a star in the night sky in the form of ropes and balls. He grabs a rope and uses it to capture a ball. He makes the ball and rope into a lasso and uses linear momentum to propel himself forward. He is able to glide effortlessly until he sees a larger ball in front of him. He cannot stop his forward progress and he bumps into it.
The large ball rolls to the edge of a steep valley with a tree part-way down. A rope drops down on the other side of the valley. The Second Coming nudges the ball a bit and it rolls down the slope and up the other side, its energy just enough to reach the other side. He tries the same thing, using his lasso as a grappling hook, which he attaches to a branch of the tree. He slides down, but since he did not start from the top, his momentum and energy were not enough to reach the other side.
He reaches his rope and returns to his starting spot, where he gives himself a little extra push. This is enough to reach the other side, and he collects the rope, and sees a rocket floating above him. He ponders how to get there, but the rope and larger ball give him an idea. He loops the rope around the ball and slides down the slope, taking the ball with him. He gets back to the other side, climbs the tree, steps onto a branch and jumps on it like a diving board. He ties the rope around the branch and secures it tightly by pushing the ball a bit further away. He stands on it and gives it a hard shove. It pulls the branch down like a catapult and The Second Coming spins around it with a sort of centrifugal force. He builds speed and lets go, launching himself straight up into the air toward the rocket.
Astrophysics[]
He gives the rocket a little kick, and it starts up, slowly accelerating. He finds a torch floating through the vacuum, and briefly investigates the behavior of light waves. The rocket reaches another star system, and, finding himself attracted to a nearby planet, he diverts the vehicle's trajectory, traveling around the planet's orbit and turning away. This maneuver increases the velocity exponentially as he repeats it with the other two planets and with the star.
Next, he comes across a little magnet. He jumps to catch it, and uses it to pull himself back to the rocket. Spotting a line of giant magnet rings, he attaches the magnet to the rocket, with the south pole to the front. This attracts the rocket to the magnetic ring's north pole (which faces The Second Coming). The rocket accelerates as it passes through each ring, and eventually leaves the galaxy.
Approaching a quasar, The Second Coming travels to the center, through an accretion disk until he orbits a black hole. An apple is thrown at him from the black hole's singularity, where it falls back to. Seeing the shining object from earlier within the black hole, he nose-dives the rocket into this target. Inside, he lights his torch to find that the black hole's immense gravitation also affects light (this is shown with the caption "OUTSIDE PERSPECTIVE", showing the viewer's image of The Second Coming distorting as the stick figure approaches the event horizon). As he goes deeper and deeper, the gravitational pull elongates (spaghettifies) him. He catches the apple, but gradually reduces in size, traveling through the apple's cellular and molecular structure until he reaches the subatomic.
Subatomic, string theory & time travel[]
The Second Coming falls through an atom's nucleus and the quarks that form a proton, shrinking below the world sheet to a level outside time, where particles are formed by strings. There he discovers the origin of the help from before: it came from his future self. The future Second Coming invites the present Second Coming to watch their past self, dropping open and closed strings as ropes and weight balls, as well as the rocket, the other tools and the apple.
The future version rolls the world line as a Tipler cylinder, making their view of time go backwards, showing the present Second Coming building the universe before the arrival of his past self. The future Second Coming then forwards to the past Second Coming orbiting the black hole. The present Second Coming drops the apple, luring the past Second Coming into the black hole. The future Second Coming takes the apple, drops it again, and points to the past Second Coming falling through the world sheet. He then takes the present Second Coming's cowboy hat and disappears.
Animation vs. Geometry[]

In an empty, black place, a dot becomes a line with two points, in which The Second Coming gets up. The points each get named with a letter. The Second Coming drops a point off the floor, to which it becomes a long arrow. Then he recreates it at a different location, intersects with the floor, sets the angles to be 90°, drops it, can rotate it, and taps on it, canceling the line and making a point. A visual flash happens when he moves the point around a specific location, at which it shines.
While The Second Coming covers his eyes, the shines unfold a new character, Phi (symbolizing ϕ). The Second Coming leans back as Phi gets to him, at which he almost falls into the void, only to be saved by Phi while it makes a right-angled triangle. Then Phi makes a rectangle, brings a triangle of it over by 90°, flips it, turns it to the right by 150°, makes a parallelogram and a square, turns the shape into 36 different polygons, makes a circle with a triangle inside, and settles the shape into a triangle. Then Phi draws squares on the sides of the triangle, brings the c2 square up, and tells The Second Coming to do something. Understood it, The Second Coming brings the a2 square up and sets its size, making the equation: , which is known as the Pythagorean theorem. Accomplished it, The Second Coming and Phi handshakes together, forming a friendship.
Suddenly, a weird-looking object—a 4D-Hyper Diamond or 24-cell—comes to destroy everything. It gets angry and comes closer to the protagonists, so The Second Coming creates a floor to run. Phi gives The Second Coming points for shooting the Diamond (which did not help much), draws a golden ratio with The Second Coming going in along, and tells The Second Coming to get on it. So The Second Coming draws a line, gets on Phi, and goes off. Later, Phi constructs a golden ratio dart to fly. Then the Diamond shoots rhombi and hits into the dart. Then Phi makes a golden ratio kite to shield up and creates a floor. There, The Second Coming and Phi construct a huge pentagon with golden triangles inside; now there are clones of Phi. The clones shoot triangles at the Diamond, but the Diamond tries to break into the pentagon. The clones keep defending, while Phi plots to trap the Diamond. After the Diamond ruins the pentagon, the protagonists manage to trap it inside a tetrahedron, later being an octahedron. Inside the octahedron, The Second Coming traps the Diamond inside a cube, which keeps the Diamond from getting out when the octahedron takes a fall damage. Then The Second Coming and Phi create an icosahedron to trap the Diamond with it after it broke the cube, but the Diamond can stretch it. Then Phi decides to create a dodecahedron with it in it, and it shrinks. When the Diamond is destroying through the 3D shape, Phi signals The Second Coming to throw it into the Diamond, and The Second Coming does so, destroying the Diamond.
An explosion ensues and the "dragon curve" is featured. The Second Coming comes inside the dodecahedron, sees several strange shapes, and is met with his another self that wears a cowboy hat, referencing Animation vs. Physics. The hat Second Coming waves at the hatless Second Coming, making the hatless Second Coming fall. The dodecahedron shrinks, until it becomes a dot.
