The Ultimate Weapon is the 25th episode of the Animation vs. Minecraft Shorts series, being the 6th installment of Season 3.
Synopsis[]
The Minecraft game icon doesn't just give you creative mode.
Plot[]
Green is still trapped in a jail cell in King Orange's bastion[1] from episode 22 on the same day. He tries to break the cage using a diamond pickaxe, and gets shocked by the electrocuted bars. Then he tries to bash out the bars with a diamond shovel, and got shocked again, before casting a fishing rod to try forcibly break the cages, but the hook and lure broke off. He then hurls an ender pearl at the cell wall, only to be smacked into the wall as he teleported–still inside the cell, however it gives him another idea. Green finally manages to escape by shooting an ender pearl out of the cage with a piston. He then rescues the Heroic Pig (whose cage wasn't electrified because he's a pig, he can't break out), and the two escape the dungeon.
Meanwhile, back in ALANSPC (Alan Becker's computer), The Second Coming and Red meet Purple, who had just entered through the Nether Portal. Purple greets the two, before searching for the Minecraft Game Icon, only to find that it is missing in the taskbar. Being suspicious of Purple, Red and The Second Coming show the Minecraft Game Icon hidden in the taskbar to Purple.
Back in the Nether, King Orange brings Yellow and Blue to a spacious room made of quartz known as the "throne room", where Mellohi (by C418) is playing on a jukebox. After changing a portrait of himself to prevent the two Fighting Stick Figures from becoming suspicious of his identity, he invites the two to sit down on two thrones, crowning Blue and Yellow in the process. Yellow sees a command block staff seemingly similar to King Orange's staff and accepts it, but Blue is more reluctant, remembering the last time he was crowned and almost died in a void. However, upon being given a throne with nether warts growing on the armrests by King Orange, he accepts his crown as well.
Meanwhile, Purple attempts to nonchalantly take the Minecraft Game Icon, but Red and The Second Coming block him, both now more suspicious at him than before. After failing to flank the two stick figures, Purple equips his Elytra and prepares to steal the Block by force, surprising Red and The Second Coming.
Back at the Nether, Green and the Heroic Pig sneak above some Piglin Brutes to get to the room where Yellow and Blue were kept. Although Green does so successfully, he is prevented access to the room by King Orange, who secretly blocks the stick figure from entering while Yellow is suspicious of Green's attempts. Finally, Green manages to get in by blowing a hole in the room with TNT, knocking King Orange back. Green explains King Orange's plan to gain the Minecraft Game Icon; thankfully, Yellow and Blue believe Green and reunites with him and the Heroic Pig.
However, King Orange has had enough. Now that his plans were exposed, he recovered from the explosion, and prepares to battle the stick figures, swapping the Mellohi music disc for Pigstep (by Lena Raine), raises the ceiling by cloning chunks and create cages to imprison the stick figures in. (The Pigstep music is actually a remix, and can be found here)
In ALANSPC, Purple finally takes action and tries to take the Minecraft Game Icon, but is attacked by The Second Coming and Red, while Green, Blue, and Yellow fight off against King Orange.
The three stick figures successfully defeat King Orange and restrain him, taking his staff; however, Purple manages to take the Minecraft Game Icon, escaping into the Nether, causing all items and blocks created by said block to vanish, including the Nether Portal, preventing The Second Coming from chasing after Purple. Red, however, manages to enter the Portal before it is destroyed.
In the throne room, Green, Yellow and Blue are stunned by the sudden disappearance of their items and inventory, due to the Minecraft Game Icon being taken. The Heroic Pig unfortunately disappeared as well. Now unrestrained, King Orange ruthlessly takes the Stick Figures by surprise and takes back his staff from Yellow, forceholding all of them in the cages.
With help from the Baby Piglin from Episode 20, along with a Hoglin, Red manages to hitch a ride to chase Purple with the Minecraft Game Icon.
Without Minecraft, The Second Coming is trapped, until he had the brilliant idea of sending himself to Alexcrafter28's computer via the mail app, just like what he and Red had done during the previous episode. Alexcrafter28 was searching for information about Red and The Second Coming, who had infiltrated his computer prior. There, The Second Coming smashed out of a notification and took his Minecraft app. Despite Alexcrafter28's attempt to stop The Second Coming, he managed to email himself back to ALANSPC, he tested to see if the Minecraft Game icon was faulty in any way, by testing with building cobblestone. The Second Coming eventually discovers an unusual glow he hadn't seen before, in which he discovered he could levitate, he used his Minecraft Game Icon to rebuild the portal.
Meanwhile, Red manages to take back the Minecraft Game Icon from Purple after a quick aerial skirmish, but King Orange restricts his movement using a forcehold command and throws Red into a cage. Purple flies down, bows to King Orange and gives him the Minecraft Game Icon. King Orange throws away his command block across the floor, and adds the Minecraft Game Icon into his staff. The moment it connected, he ruthlessly unleashes its power with an energy beam, destroying a portion of the bastion and slaughtering a few Piglin Brutes. Purple tries to hold the staff to have a go, thinking King Orange would share his power with him, but King Orange holds Purple away from the staff and blasts him away to betray him, stunning him momentarily.
King Orange then creates an enormous destructive black energy beam, creating a black hole in the Nether. Before he can continue on with his rampage, he's shocked to see The Second Coming and gets launched backwards. The Second Coming then frees the Fighting Stick Figures, and quickly equips them with armor and weapons, before King Orange knocks The Second Coming out of the bastion and the duo begins to fight each other. King Orange is more powerful than The Second Coming because of his stronger block control and summoning massive amounts of arrows, but The Second Coming is more strategic and counters his moves using more unique weapons, such as Minecart TNTs and rails, before ender-pearling behind King Orange and facing him off.
Meanwhile, Purple, who is still loyal to King Orange, commands the remaining army of Piglin Brutes to stop the Fighting Stick Figures from assisting The Second Coming in his fight.
During the battle between the two orange stick figures, one is normal & short and one is dark & tall, The Second Coming attempts to destroy the black hole, but King Orange stops The Second Coming from destroying it, causing King Orange to slowly gain the upper hand. He sends a barrage of fireballs at The Second Coming, forcing him to create multiple Nether Portals to vacuum the fire balls up, which is where the others would end up going to.
As the two stick figures continue fighting, the Fighting Stick Figures battle the horde of Piglin Brutes, decimating them and slowly turning the tide against Purple. Seeing that the army is losing, Purple attempts to fly away on his Elytra, but Green and Yellow quickly hooks Purple down. As he struggles to escape, he wanted King Orange to help him, but King Orange never cared for Purple. Finally realizing that King Orange had only used him to achieve his plans, Purple releases his Elytra and flees the battle scene, with Green quickly taking his Elytra. Yellow tries to stop Green from going after Purple, but he refuses and chases after Purple into a Nether Portal.
With the black hole expanding, it begins to suck up everything in the Nether, including the mobs and the bastion. Red is pulled away towards the black hole, but luckily floats into one of the Nether Portals created earlier by The Second Coming. Blue tries catching Red and nearly gets sucked to the black hole as well, but is hooked by Yellow. Blue and Yellow then used their fishing rods to reel down to the exposed throne room. Yellow sees the command block that was thrown away from King Orange's staff; both agree to take the block with it, and the two decided to enter through to the portal and return to the village.
In the heated battle between the duo, King Orange continues to dominate against The Second Coming, but The Second Coming begins to even the battle tide, and counters King Orange's moves, before clashing once more, stick figure vs. stick figure. The Second Coming uses King Orange to launch himself into the black hole, and then uses his Minecraft Game Icon to destroy it. In a last desperate attempt to defeat The Second Coming, King Orange attempts to destroy The Second Coming's Minecraft Game Icon with his very own inside of the black hole. The result ends up destroying the black hole in a brilliant explosion.
The explosion was so destructive, it knocks the two icons out of their hands, and sends The Second Coming to another of the Nether Portals he created, while King Orange lands in the throne room, lying on the jukebox in defeat, causing the music disc to pop out, with his crown on the floor.
Meanwhile, at the end of the episode, The Second Coming comes out of the portal and falls into a giant hole, landing in a large dripstone cave, where a sculk sensor senses his presence.

Errors[]
- After the scene where Red and Purple pass through the portal, the portal stops working, but the portal background is seen a few minutes later.
- There are some timestamp errors in the full Season 3 release:
- When The Second Coming emails himself to Alexcrafter28's computer, the time on the taskbar is 7:35 PM, while the one on the email is 8:38 PM.
- When he returns to Alan's PC after acquiring Alexcrafter28's Minecraft icon, the time on the taskbar is still 7:35 PM, while the email says 7:39 PM.
- While the timestamps in the original video match up, the timeline is still incorrect. The Second Coming travels to Alexcrafter28's computer at 8:38 PM, but when he returns to ALANSPC, it's still 7:39 PM.
- Even with time zones taken into consideration, the timeline would be incorrect. Alexcrafter28 is in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, so his time zone is GMT+8; Alan is in Ohio, so his time zone is GMT-4 (the date on the computer is June 12, so daylight savings time is used). Alexcrafter28 is 12 hours ahead of Alan, and it should display 7:39 AM on June 13, 2021.
- All of these timestamp errors are fully fixed in the real time Season 3 release. Alexcrafter28's computer correctly displays Malaysia time, the emails' and the computers' timestamps all match up, and time passes reasonably between emails (each timestamp is a few minutes apart).
- The Parkour Course was missing on the left side.
- This error is fixed in the real time Season 3 release.
- The sky was lighter sky blue when Red went into the portal to Monster School, although the sky had a much different color in Monster School - AVM Shorts Episode 27.
- This error is fixed in the full Season 3 release.
- When the black hole explodes because of The Second Coming destroying it, the portals for the Deep Dark and the Monster School are missing. There is also a big chunk of the exterior blocks that were from King Orange's bastion remnant, which was later removed in the full Season 3 release.
