Fun fact for people who know nothing about this song: it gets faster each time you replay it

I noticed that with every fight, not only does BF get better at adapting, but also starts to invent his own style of fighting, with the echo simply just copying the ability of the opponet, not necessarily their every last move.

I like how there are such little details that make it so much better, like how BF managed to SWITCH Chara's knife projectile into a healing projectile ( 4:32 ) just showing how much time Chino puts into their animations. It took me 9 times watching the animation to even realize this yet.

I love this for two reasons 1: chara acknowledges bf's retry ability being similar to undertale's continue/determination ability, so this is more of a fight between two beings with a groundhog ability 2: imagine the amount of times both chara and bf have game overed during this battle

This man just knows how to make the best FNF fighting animation.

A true example of an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. It wouldn't matter who would've won at the end, as both could either "reset" or "retry", and both could adapt and learn from their past mistakes indefinitely. It's good that the corruption inside BF figured this out and fled, otherwise the battle never would've ended...

You know the corruption really IS undeniably scary if it can literally TANK a "hit" from Chara's knife.

I honestly love how chara actually wins the fight and BF is quite literally FORCED to leave. More often then not when we see these kinds of things the animators or mod makers just make it so BF constantly wins and thats that, like he just wins and thats it. Here its actually making sense, And its not BF just winning because he hits every note and can retry, Its also so refreshing to see that the 'retry' mechanic / area isn't just.. some... SPACE where he gets the choice to go back and immediately go redo the fight, Mainly because chara & moreso the player had the exact same space and when BF's retry area is quite literally the only remaining thing that exists, It's so so so much easier to find him & permanently kill him. The mechanics of the fight were neat, it seemed actually balanced-ish and wasnt an insta-kill fest or a inf retry hellhole. Plus the animation was amazing,,,

I think the best part I like about the echo ability is that it isn't a perfect copy. It gives BF the skills and instincts of his opponent, but not the mastery or experience to use them to their fullest.

I love the fact that in Chara’s left animation, her knife shows BF’s reflection in it, such a cool detail

i just notice at like 5:00 you can see bf’s soul reflected in Chara’s knife during the back pose, neat

You can't kill a ghost Boyfriend. I wanted to applaud how in CHARActer this is-- Okay Okay, but seriously. The dialogue feels really well conceived and like it could feasibly follow the end of the game. Chara isn't written or choreographed to be overly edgy. I love that Chara is so focused on fulfilling their purpose. They're cold and goal obsessed and I think that came through very well. *** I also like how in the animation Chara unfolds a crazy ass barrage when they realize BF is playing like Sans. I think it may have been a bit cooler if Chara only attacked once at first--playing by the rules of the game--until they realized it would only be resolved by breaking the rules with extra attacks like with the sans fight. A very small criticism of some very excellently characterized fight choreography. (Edit: Though on rewatch that may have actually been the intention!) I appreciate all the work you exercised in the 'choreography', it definitely made me appreciate this character much more and want to draw and write with purpose and intention like this. *** You can really feel the push and pull of the fight, though it's obvious by watching their mannerisms that Chara is never feeling especially pressured. Puts a smile on my face to know a story is actively trying to persuade me why the ending will happen instead of mislead me and then gutpunch me with a seemingly disconnected or arbitrary resolution. *** The ending did feel earned by the end and yeah again I think that's partly because It's easy to make Chara generically evil, but it's hard to capture that creepy personality we encounter at the end of genocide. Definitely special, It makes me want to applaud the *chara*cterization one last ti-- *gunshot* Yeah yeah same joke twice, I accept my pun-ishment

This was the LAST thing i expected! I love how BF can just adapt and adjust. Really just shows how op ECHO is

Are we going to ignore that BF was interacting with the corruption? It didn't look evil, it looked disappointed. As if it expected to win like usual. But it lost and it didn't expect that.

I love how Chara's last pose before betrayal killing BF looks AWAY from BF. Adds to the fake-out that takes place immediately after.

POV: what your parents see when you play war

Love how after Chara does the knife slam that breaks the background, when BF is attacking, it looks like Chara is standing in their idling pose, yet the attacks are being deflected. Yet we can see brief glimpses of Chara deflecting the attacks. Chara is just moving so ridiculously fast that it’s almost like they’re standing still when deflecting the attacks.

I find it interesting how *quick* Chara is with navigating the menu, almost as if they're aware that the more BF sees something, the more likely his Echo is able to replicate the technique

i am in love with 3:18 because of these reasons 1. you keep noticing animation details every time you play it 2. it shows improvement in Bf thanks to the Matt fight. 3. EVERYTHING IS STILL IN TIME WITH THE SONG (Still dont know how they managed to do that) 4. if Bf had some time training with chara who knows what Bf would be capable of.

At 4:23 if you slow down the speed of the video, u can see that bf healed Chara 💀💀💀

I don't think anyone noticed it, but in 4:10 chara's knife actually shows BF in the reflection, and that just goes to show how much work Chino puts into the animation

When the world didn't expect Chino's Animated to return, he blessed in the blink of an eye and epic work well done man.

A little detail I may be overthinking about in the false spare scene, Chara's down animation is a bow, resembling something a knight would be in when they get...yknow...knighted. This probably represents the fact that their adopted family are royals, so they probably got a few respectfully royal mannerisms from them! I like that little detail :DD

I DON'T CARE IF THEIR A DEMON. Their face is adorable-

weekly homeless man knife fights

The goat is back!

It’s scary how did this is. It’s amazing. I keep coming back and watching it man I’m genuinely so astonished how amazing this is

This was really good, I'm thoroughly impressed. Keep up the great work

3:15 the save/load bit is just crazy good.

I love this animation so much, the part where chara was giving "mercy" was the most brilliant part imo aside from the ending

the sheer amount of detail in this is incredible, im watching this for life the tenth time now and am still occasionally going frame by frame to find flavor text/cool details

This is so amazing! Very well done!!

I love the detail of BF not being aware/ lucky enough to come out unscathed. He usually gets hit by the first attack or two when watching the opponent to copy/ mimic them, hence how he rarely gets hit until the next unique segment of attacks. _THIS IS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT PEOPLE_

I remember seeing a comment on the Matt fight about Matt wanting BF to not just Echo his abilities but also come up with his own pattern, and it looks like he did. That shield and spin attack you see when the music speeds up, Chara didn't use those (they did use the shield at one point, but after BF), that was BF coming up with his own way of attacking, and also he just didn't copy Chara's patterns but created some as well... He's really evolving

this is the best animation ive seen recently keep up the good work man! ^^

This Guy Makes the Best FNF Animations, He Needs a Prize or Somethin for How Great These Are, Not to Mention How Great It Sounds! Keep Up the Good Work!

It’s nice to see that the corruption isn’t really toying with bf, it’s like trying to keep him alive

I honestly love the concept of regardless of whatever BF's doing, whatever pose he's doing, or whatever shape he's currently in, he will ALWAYS be in that standard pose of holding his microphone like a damn Roblox holding tool animation everytime he dies.

3:28 is my favorite

It’s impressive he’s able to survive actual hits from Chara Normally those would just kinda kill you

I absolutely love the decision to make BF echo the moves. That made him A LOT more viable as a fighting character while still keeping FNF aesthetics. And my god! Never expected that someone will consistently get the proportions right.

I absolutely love how "in control" Chara feels throughout the entire fight. Whenever Boyfriend gets a hit in, it is either through total surprise because Chara wasn't expecting it, like Boyfriend Echoing their knife to attack or their shadow technique, or Boyfriend pulling an Undyne/Sans and just throwing out as much as possible and one happens to land. Whereas Chara's attacks always feel like they are landing either because of that overwhelming force or because of better planning for their attacks. Like when Boyfriend gets hit by the single knife beam attack, and then Chara dodges through Boyfriend's multiple knives attack because Chara was just testing Boyfriend's Echo ability. Then later on, we see Boyfriend putting full effort into dodging a barrage of knife beams, whereas Chara just maintains a position that happens to dodge long enough to dodge, thus expending less energy to keep fighting. Boyfriend definitely lasted as long as he did thanks to his experience with Matt and even Whitty, letting him get farther along in a first try scenario like this one. But it wasn't enough, as Chara's awareness of such an ability allowed them to get one over on Boyfriend with the fake sparing, just as Sans had got us. And because Boyfriend still technically exists somewhere in the game world when he dies, Chara could find him, forcing the option to flee instead. After all, retrying at that point would still mean Chara keeps their own experience with fighting BF, and Chara just needs another kill to put them right back in a permanent death situation, except Chara is even more ready for it. This is definifely best as a one-shot event, because even Matt didn't hold the threat of permanently killing Boyfriend.

This animation was incredible, it would be cool if a mod like this existed... but it is possible! Good animation man

This is so good and also what makes everything better is that its like an actual fight with some undertale things in it!

I will say, I love the idea of Corruption and BF having a venom eddie relationship. Like they're two souls tethered together. BF is a host, and corruption keeps the host alive. And it seems like since they've been together for so long, that Corruption eventually just got used to his shenanigans and rolls with it. BF even asks him if he wants to go again. Like hes getting input from the corruption on if they want to try and win. It's neat. The idea that BF knows the corruption is there, but never saw it as something bad. They just buds sharing a body. Very cool take on the Corruption. The idea that neither are fighting for control. They're just vibing together.

i love that his training with matt really set him off to be this active, i know bf has natural adaptation, but how he echo's the ability, recognizes the correlation between chara and sans, and sing his theme to lower their health and get a cheap shot in one verse shows how well chino put effort into how bf operates. He's cheeky but loves battle, but enough on that. My main interest is the corruption. it's active now, leaving the game to save bf... that's worrying

Start 1:17 escalating 1:31 speeding up 2:55 intensity, 3:47 9 wall fractured 4:13 duet1 4:24 peace psych 4:41 betrayed 4:48 duet2 5:15

I love this so much I can’t put it into words. Keep on working chino! Your making Awesome stuff! This is literally the phrase “words cut deeper than any knife”.

Some people actually think that BF is supposed to be "fighting" his opponent in fnf mods, and that's a goofy layer that makes your animations so much more enjoyable to me

Chino, this animation video has gone out of this world because of how amazing, awesome and spectacular it looks. Both Chara and BF popping off on each of their turns and fighting each other alongside their own abilities like BF's echo ability and Chara's shadow ability (don't know what Chara's ability's name is so I decided to name it that) and getting a glimpse inside of BF's body to see his soul and the corruption inside of him and then having to see Chara finding her way inside BF's death screen to try to kill him again but then, his corruption saved him from actually getting killed and then escaping the Undertale world. This animation is the goat and because of that, I'm adding this to my favorite fighting animations playlist. Excellent work Chino, keep it up 👍

This is near perfect. This man is keeping fnf alive, and I respect it. It’s no easy feat to animate something this good. I’m constantly awaiting a part 2 where the corruption helps BF defeat Chara. I’m proud of you. Keep up the good work.

soo, this is how far you improved. after like what, five years? you've been improving each animation. nice job 👏💯

Chino came back KICKIN'. This was FAR from what I was expecting, and it was all REALLY GOOD. The timing with both BF & Chara's attacks, the attacks in general looking amazing, the dialogue & sprite changes in between the song, everything was amazingly made. A great return to your stuff. Can't wait to see what'll come next from the channel.👏👏👏 Edit:Ok, back to praise this more. I CAN'T get over the small details on this one. ESPECIALLY with Chara's left pose, they show a reflection of BF. And when his soul get's ripped out at 5:05, Chara's left pose shows BF soul. It's details like that that I absolutely LOVE.

So, I'm gonna assume this is due to him never using any "Item" moves, the moves have to be the actual powers of the person he's facing and not an item that's not of their own power. He can only use the knife because Chara seems to use and construct a powered version of it.

I love how many details are in this animation, so many things to appreciate.

you went crazy with this one bro this is so underatted

I really like the attention to detail. One of my favorite bits is that Chara gets hit by BF's first attack- not because they weren't expecting it, but because it's BLUE. Noticing that BF's blue-colored attacks are different from Undertale's, Chara takes to dodging IMMEDIATELY after.

I can tell this one had a lot of effort put into it. Little details like the afterimage effects, Chara's anger mark when BF sings Megalovania, even seeing BF's reflection in Chara's knife throughout the fight. Recommended watching this at 1/4 speed. Its like a whole different song.

That One scream in chara 😂 3:45

Nice detail on the reflection in Chara's knife,your attention to those little details make it super fun!

I love the little detalis he adds in this animations like in 4:55 you can actually see the chara's knife reflecting bf's soul

4:09 THE REFLECTION OF BF ON THE KNIFE?!🔥🔥🔥 that's clean

Chino really explained it real smooth that he's not making a second part for this

I don't know how he's able to create amazing combat animations that all have the sprite of FNF.

1:27 I love how she uses comic sans when referring to sans

I do like how Chara is dealing monumentally more damage to BF and BF is doing muuuch less damage to Chara. Canonically BF would have like well over 10,000 HP but has 25 or 50 ATK? It would be between these two depending on if Chara has The Locket given how much damage Chara is taking every hit proportionate to her 99 HP.

so true and you know it is good when a another fnf creator comments on it. and keep up the good work.

I've been out of the fnf community for months at this point, but this might be bringing me back 👀

6:20 It's strange to see Bf and corruption coexisting peacefully even if it's only temporary .

i love how BF just gets with new abilities in the spot that chara never showed, like the shield and the spinning knife (he uses the shield before chara)

1 month later and this song/animation is still a banger. Please make more videos like this!❤❤

0:47 Chara: strangely, you also seem to hold a special type of determination within you.

Awesome animation and one detail I absolutely loved was that in one of Chara's poses Chino took the effort to actually put BF's Reflection shining in the Knife. Which is honestly so subtle but so cool to notice. Edit: Also same happens with BF's Soul during the moment it is out, when Chara taunts BF the pose occurs again and you can see the Soul Reflected in the Knife.

This is sooo good! I love how insanely fast BF can react to half the things she's doing, and what makes it better is how HE LOSES!!! Most people would make him win because he's the main character, making him lose really shows that he's not perfect and his echo ability still takes adapting to despite catching on real fast, it's not perfect. I genuinely think this is immaculate! Keep up the amazing work Chino!

Omg that is amazing!! can't wait to see the next, looks like corrupted bf vs chara I'm guessing,

This is a masterpiece it’s beyond amazing

3:03 hits hard

Chara: "So you're gonna play like *HIM,* huh? Also Chara: _spares Bf and then betrays him just like _*_HE_*_ does_ Well,this was brilliant as always 👏

this is a banger congradulations you just earned a subscriber

this is really well made and I love these animations man. Hopefully we get to see more fights between boyfriend like hank, tricky, or a classic like pico, etc. Regardless your animations are really good. girlfriend vs hypno would go hard too

I wonder what would've happened if Bf didn't let his guard down at 4:40?

Honestly I absolutely love the concept of Boyfriends echo and the fact he can give enemies a taste of their own medicine Whitty - His explosive fire moves Hacked Hex - Electricity + Energy Shield Updike - Revealing Light Matt - Basically most of his moves I like how boyfriend actually gets his own “Real knife” and it plus all of his attacks are cyan colored

This looks amazing Chino!! I really like the song and the animation itself! And I love how Boyfriend sounds kinda like UTAU during some parts of the song lol. (Especially the beginning: 1:24) I also really like how Chara can’t really decide what voice she should use, and how manipulative Chara can be when she wants to be! It really interests me. ✨ The animation also shows how much combat skill Boyfriend has, and how much stronger he is then he seems to be. His glowing blue eyes and the fact that he has a black shadow with glowing blue eyes (and a mouth) is really cool!! I also like how his shadow’s voice pitch is higher than Boyfriends! 🩵

Aight, determination, add that to the list of elements, chino, your really good at these, im proud, yes, I may be a plush, but do you know what else is inside besides cotton filling? my love for these videos and animations, keep doin you

This oozes with creativity and care! the normal knife reflecting back BF or his SOUL 2:08 how you took the little beeps and boops from Chara's voice that don't sound like chara and turned it into menu selection 1:35 2:07 3:35 Chara realizes they're not going to win if they just keep fighting BF after he healed to 100% so they trick him 4:33 BF keeps trying to push Chara to the back and into the knives, trying to strategize 3:01 Chara getting irate from BF singing megalovania, letting BF get a good hit in 1:59 BF not being able to dodge new attacks that he hasn't seen before and aren't super obvious 1:39 2:08 The 'wall' moving in the background to convey them moving through the heat of battle (it's like- the entire fight) BF suspiciously knowing how to dodge the MUCH much harder parts of the fight 3:19 ITS SO GOOD

This animation is actually beautiful, the time and effort put into this project.

listened and watched this multiple times, and it never gets old!

This is sick!

its a refreshing change to see boyfriend actually lose and back out because holy shit the amount of plot armor bf has been given by the community is fucking insane

All that training from Matt was totally useful for this awesome fight, especially this part 3:20.

2:54 is my favorite part the animation is just so amazing and I just love the sped up attacks

Man I just gotta come back every month to see this fire animation 😮‍💨

I like how eachother adapts to eachother so quickly and comes up with counters on the spot. When Chara was attacking bf, he was deflecting every single slash, so she uses her ability (Idk what it's called tbh.) And slashes bf from behind. Bf also learns from this and hits her from behind while she was also deflecting. Chara also realizes how fast Bf is moving so she slows down, hoping to catch him off guard, but bf has patience so he manages to also counter that. I love the work you've done here, Chino!

5:50 bro was like " you suck at this. "

It's interesting to note how despite in nearly every other animation, BF has some form of regeneration in battles, they have none here. And considering regen does exist in Undertale, it's most likely deliberate. perhaps it has to do with the gimmick in the original song, but I wouldn't know

Na I watch this so many times and I really liked it your animation is so good

I am in love with how you animate Chara fighting, adapting the original Undertale battle system to something more visual while also adding in other things to keep the animation interesting.

I just noticed a small detail @5:05 where when Chara does their “right animation”, you can see the reflection of BF’s Soul in their knife. Props to you Chino for including such incredible detail in your work!

I love the small details. Like you can see BF's reflection in Chara's knife from time to time

THE LEGEND IS BACK
