| colspan="6" style="border-bottom: solid 3px #A62A0F" |In a distant digital desert, Green escapes a glitch entity known as the Void King after stealing a glowing Data Core, triggering a system-wide threat as the creature demands its return; Green reunites with Blue, Red, Yellow, and Purple in the Hub World, where the team learns the Core carries an Alpha-level cipher bound to Green’s code signature and the Void King begins corrupting the city with a massive portal. As glitchborn minions overrun the plaza, the Stick Fighters attempt to defend the grid while Purple discovers only Green can unlock the Core, but the Void King arrives personally, overwhelming the team and nearly destabilizing the Hub. Forced into action, Green instinctively opens the Core, unleashing a surge of golden code that transforms him into a higher-tier combat form and reveals the object to be a legendary Patch Key — a system-cleansing failsafe long thought erased. The Void King retreats after being struck by its purifying blast, warning that his corruption has barely begun; afterward, the team views a hologram from a faceless entity known only as Infinity, who explains that the Patch Key was created to defeat the Void King when he reaches full corruption. Realizing the enemy is currently at just one percent of his eventual power, the Stick Fighters prepare for the inevitable escalation as a new breach triggers and the team rushes out together to face the next threat.

| colspan="6" style="border-bottom: solid 3px #A62A0F" |In the North Sector’s digital forest, Blue and Yellow discover that a dormant guardian has transformed into a rare Corruptor-class glitch creature, prompting Green, Red, and Purple to mount a rescue when the pair go silent; the group arrives to find the forest ravaged and the Corruptor pursuing Yellow, and Purple confirms that the monster still contains remnants of its original base-code and can be salvaged. As the Void King briefly manifests through the creature and reveals direct control over its corruption, the team battles to restrain it while Green struggles to channel his unstable Patch Key abilities, eventually unlocking a new “restore” capability that can rewrite corrupted code in short bursts. With the others trapping the Corruptor in a containment formation, Green finally manages to overwrite its core and revert it back to an unconscious forest guardian, proving he can disrupt the Void King’s influence. As the forest stabilizes, Purple detects a far larger threat emerging in Sector West — a Titan-class entity not seen in generations — forcing the Stick Fighters to regroup and prepare for the Void King’s escalating assault on the system.

| colspan="6" style="border-bottom: solid 3px #A62A0F" |In Sector West, the Stick Fighters confront a massive Titan-class entity—an 80-foot corrupted architecture construct whose destruction could destabilize the entire region—forcing Blue to coordinate a desperate assault while Green struggles to control his evolving Patch Key abilities. As Red, Yellow, and Blue launch coordinated high-output attacks and Purple phases inside the Titan using a risky debug-state hack, the corruption infects them mid-operation, leaving Purple partially taken over by the Void King and urging the team to finish the Titan before they lose themselves entirely. With Yellow’s shields failing and Blue critically struck, Green unlocks a stronger “Restore” ability and, using a coordinated strike from the full team, overwrites the Titan’s exposed core, cleansing it in a massive restoration burst that stabilizes the plains. In the aftermath, Purple remains partially corrupted and reveals that the only cure—the mythical Root Patch—lies in the Deep Code, an ancient, dangerous subsystem believed to be the birthplace of the Void King, prompting Green to insist they travel there next.

| colspan="6" style="border-bottom: solid 3px #A62A0F" |As Purple’s corruption worsens and the Hub detects a spontaneous Deep Code breach, the Stick Fighters enter the system’s most ancient and unstable layer in search of the mythical Root Patch that could cure Purple, navigating shifting architecture, collapsing physics, and visions that reveal Green’s mysterious origin as the Patch-Bearer. While the Void King manipulates the realm around them and speaks directly to Green, Purple becomes increasingly consumed by the infection, forcing Green to stabilize the team during a deadly freefall before they reach the Root Chamber, where the Void King manifests and severely injures Red while attempting to claim Green for himself. Desperate, Green seizes the Root Patch despite Blue’s warnings and survives a catastrophic surge of ancient restore-code that forcefully integrates into his body, repelling the Void King but leaving his powers unstable and Purple nearly overtaken by corruption. With time running out and Green still unable to restore them, Purple reveals one final hope—the long-sealed Original Animator’s Archive—warning that it will not remain locked much longer.

| colspan="6" style="border-bottom: solid 3px #A62A0F" |As Purple’s corruption nears total takeover, the Stick Fighters enter the forbidden Original Animator’s Archive—an infinite, shifting dimension predating the system itself—to retrieve the Root Patch’s counterpart before Purple loses their identity entirely, only to be confronted by the Void King, who reveals that Green is not the first Patch-Bearer but the final product of multiple failed predecessors designed to stop him. Inside the collapsing Archive, Purple succumbs to a feral corrupted state and nearly kills the team before Green’s unstable Root Patch power blasts them unconscious, triggering the Void King to show Green visions of former Patch-Bearers dying as proof that he is merely the last attempt rather than a chosen hero. Rejecting the King’s offer to join him, Green escapes with the team as the Archive disintegrates, carrying a nearly fully corrupted Purple back to the Hub, where their vitals crash and Green—now burning with volatile, uncontrolled power—refuses to accept losing them.

| colspan="6" style="border-bottom: solid 3px #A62A0F" |As Purple’s corruption nears completion, the Hub erupts into chaos when the Void King launches a full-scale assault, forcing Green to abandon his failing attempts to stabilize her and join Red, Yellow, and Blue in defending the city as the King manifests in his full physical form. Green’s unstable Root Patch power quickly overloads, leaving him critically weakened, and the battle turns catastrophic when a fully corrupted Purple reappears, kills Red in a violent strike, and unintentionally overwhelms Blue during a desperate attempt to reach her, leaving both fallen while Yellow breaks down in the wreckage. Struggling with guilt and rage, Green unleashes unstable Root Patch energy only for the Void King to exploit his fractured state, partially corrupting him from within and revealing how easily Green’s identity can be rewritten. By the end of the assault, the Hub lies in ruins, Purple is nearly overtaken by corruption, Red and Blue are dead, Yellow is devastated, and Green—half glowing white, half flickering with void corruption—confesses his terror that a part of him welcomed the King’s influence, leaving the team shattered as the Void King watches from the distance, unchallenged.

| ShortSummary    = Yellow pushes through the ruins of a deserted human city at dusk, her shield emitter failing as she follows battered signs into Sector 4, territory controlled by Apex Core Industries, before reaching a derelict apartment where Green and Purple lie weakened and heavily corrupted. While Yellow tends to them, Apex Core patrols sweep the sector with armored convoys and scanning drones, forcing the trio to attempt an escape through an underground market, but Purple’s unstable corruption alerts a drone and triggers a full corporate pursuit. The three flee through the streets as Apex Enforcers fire stun blasts and deploy nets; Yellow’s shield collapses, Purple falls, and Yellow takes a blast intended for her, prompting Green to unleash an uncontrolled surge of energy that destroys nearby drones and plunges the area into darkness. Barely able to move, they retreat into an abandoned subway station, where Yellow struggles to stabilize Purple and Green fights the spread of his corruption until a glowing crescent-moon symbol reveals they are not alone. A former Apex soldier named Lira Hale approaches and explains that Apex Core is hunting them as “breach fugitives” because the corporation created the technology that brought them into this world and now intends to capture and dissect them, leading Yellow to demand a way to fight back as Lira offers to bring them into the resistance.

| ShortSummary    = Yellow awakens in an abandoned subway station where she, Green, and the heavily corrupted Purple recover under the wary assistance of Lira Hale, a former Apex Core soldier who reveals that Apex Core classifies the Stick Fighters as “Anomalous Constructs” and intends to duplicate them as living weapons. As Green struggles to stand and Purple deteriorates further, Lira explains that a nearby Apex facility contains medical and analytical data that could help stabilize them, prompting the group to travel across a heavily surveilled city dominated by drones, propaganda, and corporate patrols. After reaching the Sector 4 Bio-Analytics Lab, they infiltrate the building to access diagnostic systems, only to be ambushed by Apex Enforcers who confirm the trio’s identities and attempt to seize them. A stun blast incapacitates Yellow, triggering Green’s corrupted side to surge violently until he loses control and releases a destructive energy wave that disables the Enforcers and tears through the facility. Yellow manages to ground him before he overloads completely, allowing the group to flee the collapsing lab as alarms echo across multiple sectors. Back at the subway refuge, the team barely stabilizes Purple and Green while Yellow realizes that running is no longer an option, declaring that Apex Core’s domination of the city demands resistance and vowing to lead a revolution against the corporation.

| ShortSummary    = A convoy at an Apex Core train depot unloads sealed “Archive Asset Transfer” crates containing dormant Legacy Units, old experimental software-based humanoids that reactivate with distorted CRT voices, prompting Apex personnel to handle them cautiously. In the subway refuge, Yellow clashes with Lira over the team’s deteriorating condition while Green’s corruption worsens and Purple, barely conscious, warns that “the old ones” are coming. When they flee through the city, a Legacy Unit—Error.exe—drops into their path and identifies them as “Anomalous Constructs,” soon joined by three more units: Filemaster 95, Guardian AV, and the unsettling Assistant-Clip. The four software weapons attack with glitched static, data pulses, file-like projectiles, and scanning beams, forcing the fugitives into a desperate retreat across collapsing streets and into an underground parking structure where Yellow uses falling debris to briefly separate their pursuers. As the group hides, Lira reveals that the Legacy Units were sealed because Apex Core once attempted to weaponize entire digital systems, and their revival signals Apex’s intent to dominate not just their own world but every connected one, treating the Stick Fighters’ existence as proof that inter-world extraction and exploitation are possible. Realizing they were never random anomalies but the result of an Apex experiment, Yellow prepares to confront the Legacy Units alone to buy time for Green, Purple, and Lira to escape deeper into the garage as the four reactivated constructs descend toward her in the dark.

| ShortSummary    = Yellow faces the four reactivated Legacy Units in an underground parking garage as Error.exe, Filemaster 95, Guardian AV, and Assistant-Clip attempt to terminate her, forcing her into a desperate defensive battle while Green and Purple deteriorate on the lower level with Lira. As Yellow stalls the Units with improvised weapons and collapsing debris, Green suffers another near-loss of control from his expanding corruption, stabilized only briefly by Purple’s touch; determined not to let Yellow die alone, he charges into the fight and shields her despite the risk of overloading. The Legacy Units begin closing in again until Purple, barely conscious and glitching violently, drags herself up the ramp and strikes Error.exe with a corrupted burst, drawing all four Units’ attention and warning that her instability might cause a catastrophic surge if she loses control. Refusing to abandon one another, the group executes a retreat while the Legacy Units silently watch from the garage entrance rather than pursue. Outside at dawn, Purple reveals that before fleeing the Apex lab she saw a file labeled “Reversion Protocol,” implying that Apex Core has research capable of reversing corruption, prompting Lira to explain that such master protocols would be stored in the corporation’s central tower. Despite their injuries and Green’s fear that he may not survive the coming episodes, Yellow vows that none of them are dying and commits the team to infiltrating the Apex Core Central Tower to find the cure.

| ShortSummary    = Yellow leads Green, Purple, and Lira toward an abandoned power facility as Green’s corruption accelerates and Purple senses their deteriorating conditions syncing, pushing the group to reach Apex Core’s Central Tower where Lira believes the “Reversion Protocol” is stored. After infiltrating the skyscraper through maintenance corridors and climbing an elevator shaft while both corrupted fighters barely hold their forms together, they reach a data vault revealing that the Reversion Protocol is indeed a cure designed specifically for the three of them—but incomplete, with the final component stored in a hidden lab and requiring a “Golden Signature,” which the system identifies as Yellow herself. The group learns that activating the cure demands harvesting energy from Yellow’s shield generator in a process that would permanently disable—and effectively sacrifice—her, leaving Green and Purple devastated as Yellow quietly accepts the possibility if it means saving them. Before the group can process the revelation, upgraded versions of the Legacy Units—Error.exe 2.0, Filemaster 95 2.0, Guardian AV 2.0, and Assistant-Clip 2.0—storm the vault under orders to extract Yellow and eliminate the others, triggering a brutal fight in which the heroes are overwhelmed as the Units rapidly adapt to their tactics. Yellow orders a retreat, with Green unleashing unstable blasts to slow their pursuers and Purple nearly collapsing as they flee through a maintenance tunnel, managing to seal the door moments before the Legacy Units begin battering it down. Exhausted and barely holding together, the group regroups in the tunnel where Purple pleads with Yellow not to sacrifice herself, and Yellow vows that all three of them will be cured as they prepare for the final confrontation to secure the Reversion Protocol.

| ShortSummary    = Yellow leads the collapsing Green and nearly fading Purple through an underground service tunnel toward the hidden Reversion Chamber beneath the Apex Core tower, learning that the cure is real but time is running out as both fighters begin to destabilize. Inside the chamber, the system confirms that the Reversion Protocol can restore all three Stick Fighters, but only through an irreversible extraction of Yellow’s shield-generator energy, leaving her powerless; before the group can decide, the upgraded Legacy Units breach the chamber, followed by Agent, Hazard, Primal, and Ballista, all ordered to capture Yellow and eliminate the others. Outnumbered and overpowered as the forces close in, Yellow chooses to activate the Golden Signature port herself, triggering the extraction that unleashes a blinding golden blast which vaporizes Hazard’s clones, stuns the villains, forces the Legacy Units into reboot, and floods Green and Purple with restorative energy that burns away every trace of corruption. The shockwave obliterates the chamber and hurls everyone clear of the tower, and at dawn Green awakens fully cured, Purple stable and whole for the first time, and Lira watching over Yellow—alive but powerless, her shield emitter gone and her aura extinguished. With Apex Core scattered and the villains recovering elsewhere, the three vow to protect Yellow and face whatever comes next, stepping into the sunrise as a unified, healed team while Yellow remains unconscious but safe.

Stick Fighters is an American animated web series created by Freddie Goodwin. Blending action, comedy, science fiction, and digital-realm mythology, the series follows a group of sentient stick-figure warriors who escape their origin code and evolve into fully independent beings fighting across the vast “Outernet”—a simulated dimension hidden beneath software, devices, and abandoned networks.

The series debuted on Newgrounds on June 3, 2012, before expanding to Atom.com and later YouTube, where it developed a dedicated following for its fluid animation, fast-paced battles, and near-absence of traditional dialogue, relying instead on visual storytelling, expression-based symbols, and interface effects.

Premise[edit | edit source]

Stick Fighters centers on artificially generated stick-figure entities created within a defunct animation engine called FrameForge Studio, which unintentionally produced self-aware constructs. When one of them violently rebels, it triggers a chain reaction that unlocks contact with the Outernet, a hidden digital world that mirrors the abandoned scraps of internet history. As new threats form—including corrupted AIs, rogue code weapons, and long-lost prototypes—the Stick Fighters must uncover their origins while battling forces that threaten both the Outernet and the human world.

Characters[edit | edit source]

Humans[edit | edit source]

  • The Creator: A reclusive programmer who originally designed FrameForge Studio. Believed to have abandoned the project years before the Stick Fighters became sentient. The Creator appears only in silhouette or through system logs, serving as an unpredictable external force in the narrative.

Stick Figures[edit | edit source]

Artificial Stick Figures[edit | edit source]

Sentient stick figures accidentally produced by the FrameForge codebase.

  • Obsidian (formerly Victim): The very first sentient stick figure, created on June 3, 2012. Originally unstable and tortured by repeated resets inside FrameForge, he eventually escaped to the Outernet, turning gray as his code deteriorated. After losing his partner, Mitsi, during an attack by the rogue stick figure Cinder, he founded Rocket Corp, a tech syndicate dedicated to processing corrupted code. Later, he forcibly rebrands himself as "Obsidian," gaining destructive cybernetic abilities.
  • The Chosen One / Cinder (later "Null"): The second sentient prototype created in 2013. Designed with layered combat subroutines, Cinder became unstable and turned on Obsidian and the Creator alike. After years of self-improvement and absorbing rogue modules, he rechristens himself “Null” after Obsidian forcibly strips his identity in Season 2.
  • The Dark Sovereign: A red-coded enforcer created in 2014 as an emergency failsafe meant to destroy Cinder. After initially failing his mission, the Sovereign reactivates in the Outernet and transforms into a virus-generating tyrant. Though destroyed in Season 1, dormant fragments later reassemble him.
  • The Second Spark (TSS): A bright orange stick figure born from a failed auto-save recovery. TSS becomes the leader of the Stick Fighters, possessing rare “Threadborn” abilities—telekinetic control of digital constructs, limited file manipulation, and temporary regeneration. These powers activate unpredictably and often overwhelm him.

Fighting Stick Figures[edit | edit source]

A group of solid-headed stick figures originally imprisoned on a combat-testing website before escaping into the Outernet.

  • Red: Hot-headed brawler who is impulsive but fiercely loyal. Loves animals and often rescues Outernet creatures.
  • Blue: A mellow potion-brewer and digital botanist who grows data-plants from corrupted memory.
  • Yellow: A coder capable of threading scripts into physical form. Kidnapped by Rocket Corp in Season 1.
  • Green: A music-obsessed fighter able to weaponize vibrations. Known for being arrogant—and constantly suffering for it.

Mercenaries[edit | edit source]

Four powerful, uniquely coded fighters hired by Obsidian.

  • Agent: A tall, dark-gray stick figure wearing digital sunglasses. Wields a UI-toolbar that grants rudimentary animator abilities. Loyal to Obsidian after witnessing Mitsi’s death.
  • Hazard: A pictogram entity who uses iconography to unleash unpredictable abilities—cloning, electricity, explosives, and giant hazard symbols.
  • Primal: A caveman-style stick figure built from ancient ASCII art. Channels “raw code” to enter a berserk enhanced form.
  • Ballista: A pixelated shapeshifter from a discontinued animation engine. Can morph into weapons, shields, or tools.

Others[edit | edit source]

  • Purple: Once a friend, later corrupted by gaining admin-like power inside a sandbox-game universe. Not evil by nature; driven by ambition.
  • Pink: Mother of Purple. A calm, strategic stick figure uploaded by a long-lost animator. Killed during the fallout of Navy’s experiments.
  • Navy: A deep-blue warrior and Purple’s father. Secretly trained Purple for combat and inadvertently sparked his fall into corruption.
  • ViraBots: Mechanical spider-like virus drones created by the Dark Sovereign. Mostly eradicated—until fragments revive him.
  • Mitsi: Obsidian’s partner and co-founder of Rocket Corp. Her death becomes the emotional core of Obsidian’s villain turn.
