Hornet: Defeated. "Fine, you've won. Just finish me quick." Knight: "I wonder where the next grub is."
lol
honestly so true im just trying to find some essence and maybe some grubs
Me when I get dash MMMMMMMMMMMMM TIME TO FIND GRUBS FOR THE NEXT 5 MINUTES
Bruh
Maybe I can get that King's B- Oh. A grub.
i love how the knight is either a wholesome bean or an emotionless void
Void
What will he say about it: ……………..
Like Kirby
Or both
wholesome void :3
Finally, for once an animation that actually gives the hollow knight the canon personality of near-complete apathy rather than acting like a toddler. Fantastically done animation.
Well, that's more or less up to the player imo. Sure we can't talk but there's plenty of small moments to show that we do care. Meditating with the nailmasters, sitting lakeside with Quirrel, delivering the flower/giving it to other npcs etc. Ghost's apathy is entirely dependent on player behavior.

"the *hollow* knight"???
The fact Knight didn't bother killing Hornet and was expressionless all the time....gives me chillssss....
She was not an enemy though. She just wanted to test Hollow Knight (by trying to kill him, yes), but as soon as HK has proven he is stronger, this was settled. Besides, Hornet is helpful
The knight had nothing to gain from killing hornet, and also the knight is a vessel which is why it can’t have strong emotions if any at all
Yea the knight has zero emotion or care for anyone, the only reason THE HOLLOW KNIGHT isnt “hollow” is because he managed to form a father son relationship with the pale king over time. The knight (aka who we play as) isnt at all like that and has no emotion therefore why he is called the “true hollow knight” when you get the void heart.
@@Jonrocks7 When is the knight called "the true hollow knight"
@@slugintub634 when you get the void heart and the title of “the hollow knight” ending where the description of the achievement reads: beat the game and become the new hollow knight. So maybe you should actually play the game my dude, try going for all the endings and bosses like i have
For Hornet this was the most difficult battle of her life. For the knight this was Tuesday.
I second this
I call the knigth Ghost

By Wednesday its off to kill god
a tuesday after tacobell.
I like the Knight's character. It's small and unassuming on the outside but there's some eldritch horror within that shell.
As someone who has played this game a lot this comment is surprisingly accurate to the lore
yeah pretty cool
Good job for being articulate enough to explain what's so great about his character design. Did a much better job than I could.

@@jannmikoingelrabagogamingc6012 Thanks
I like how the crystal dash was represented, it makes it seem more of an attack than a way to get around faster
When you dash into a enemy it deals a bit of damage but you get damaged too, but there’s no shooting crystals thing
@@loty2906that was him going at high speed using Cdash
I love how the little ghost’s eyes don’t change shape to show any emotion unlike hornet, a nice touch and looks very funny
Yeah, it would have been cool in the game aswell
It looks cute aswell
I like regardless of anything that happens Ghost is just like: “Ok.”
Well technically speaking, ghost HAS to be emotionless, otherwise they wouldn't be able to imprison the radiance.
@@redgarlicbred6228 genuine question, can u explain why?
@@variasifiksi9788 The Radiance uses emotions and thoughts to control people. The Hollow Knight failed in his mission to contain it because he developed a familiar love for his father the Pale King. The Ghost, doesn’t possess such weakness as emotion and so is completely indifferent to the world around him.

The characterization of the Knight in this scene is incredible. I love the fact that the knight is so emotionless throughout the whole thing because it doesn't have the same independent thoughts and feelings as Hornet. I like to think that at the end Hornet realises this when the Knight doesn't celebrate its victory and just carries on to the king's brand and that's why she let's it go. Incredible animation, great job!
¹ Depois disse o SENHOR a Moisés: Vai a Faraó, porque tenho endurecido o seu coração, e o coração de seus servos, para fazer estes meus sinais no meio deles, ² E para que contes aos ouvidos de teus filhos, e dos filhos de teus filhos, as coisas que fiz no Egito, e os meus sinais, que tenho feito entre eles; para que saibais que eu sou o Senhor. ³ Assim foram Moisés e Arão a Faraó, e disseram-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor Deus dos hebreus: Até quando recusarás humilhar-te diante de mim? Deixa ir o meu povo para que me sirva; ⁴ Porque se ainda recusares deixar ir o meu povo, eis que trarei amanhã gafanhotos aos teus termos. ⁵ E cobrirão a face da terra, de modo que não se poderá ver a terra; e eles comerão o restante que escapou, o que vos ficou da saraiva; também comerão toda a árvore que vos cresce no campo; ⁶ E encherão as tuas casas, e as casas de todos os teus servos e as casas de todos os egípcios, quais nunca viram teus pais, nem os pais de teus pais, desde o dia em que se acharam na terra até o dia de hoje. E virou-se, e saiu da presença de Faraó. ⁷ E os servos de Faraó disseram-lhe: Até quando este homem nos há de ser por laço? Deixa ir os homens, para que sirvam ao Senhor seu Deus; ainda não sabes que o Egito está destruído? ⁸ Então Moisés e Arão foram levados outra vez a Faraó, e ele disse-lhes: Ide, servi ao Senhor vosso Deus. Quais são os que hão de ir? ⁹ E Moisés disse: Havemos de ir com os nossos jovens, e com os nossos velhos; com os nossos filhos, e com as nossas filhas, com as nossas ovelhas, e com os nossos bois havemos de ir; porque temos de celebrar uma festa ao Senhor. ¹⁰ Então ele lhes disse: Seja o Senhor assim convosco, como eu vos deixarei ir a vós e a vossos filhos; olhai que há mal diante da vossa face. ¹¹ Não será assim; agora ide vós, homens, e servi ao Senhor; pois isso é o que pedistes. E os expulsaram da presença de Faraó. ¹² Então disse o Senhor a Moisés: Estende a tua mão sobre a terra do Egito para que os gafanhotos venham sobre a terra do Egito, e comam toda a erva da terra, tudo o que deixou a saraiva. Êxodo 10:1-12

Good thing the player controlling the Knight was good 😂
@@arkanhelle2525 indeed
I really appreciate that you didn’t make the Knight emote at all, not even a head tilt. He’s just cold and empty and adorable
I love how different their styles are. Hornet flips and swerves in an acrobatic fashion (even using 3/4 spins in her normal attack combos) and readily twirls and flourishes her needle. Even her dodges of the Crystal Dash were smooth and graceful, whereas the Knight is always straightforward and efficient, using Nail Arts, like at 2:05 only when useful and opportune. Like, they hardly even move as they use their spells. Hornet even takes full advantage of the Knight's head-on fighting style to get them stuck in her trap, though their arsenal and sheer reaction time got them through in the end.
That being said, Hornet's elegant fighting style proves the be the thing that allows the knight to blindside her with an full power abyss shriek
@@Eedden42 although not important: abyss shriek is not available because you need the king's brand to get it. What the knight used was howling wraiths.

I like how the knight is parrying everything even though that's so hard to do in the actual game. The combat looks so much cooler that way.
This might be the most beautiful HK fan animation that I've watched. I love how you animated Hornet using her spider abilities, and not just the stuff that she uses in the actual game battle. I also love how she narrows and widens her eyes, but the Knight's eyes stay perfectly round, as if they feel completely neutral about this. A lot of details in this!
Yea I also love how the knight uses almost all of his abilities
Great job! This was really fun to watch.
Agreed they did a really great job with this animation
What’s up firb0rn. Totally agree, they did amazing.

God gamer seal of approval
Smart fella 😎 fart smella 😥
I love how Hornet's eyes change shape to show her expressions while The Knight's remain the same the whole time. I found it funny. Anyways, this is an awesome piece and I enjoyed watching it during the entire time!
I like that detail a lot. It shows how the little ghost is entirely void of emotions, (soulless basically) while Hornet shows all kinds of emotions with her facial expressions.
Honestly, this is the thing that excites me most about Silksong. Hollow Knight is a master class of "show, don't tell", and Team Cherry did a great job of creating a huge, deep world despite the Knight not saying a thing. However, that also makes any interaction, any relationship the Knight has very shallow. Hornet is very much so NOT the Knight, however. Not just because she can talk, but also in that she can feel. Hornet is quite clearly angry at the start of the Silksong trailer, and there are multiple shots of Hornet interacting with various NPCs. The sheer potential of these interactions after Team Cherry had already mastered showing a lot while saying very little excites me greatly.
Little ghost the whole animation: 0 0
@@webbowser8834 You make a good point! I'm also excited to see that.
@@webbowser8834 although throughout the game we an see little details that the knight can actually feel pain making him not entirely hollow. silksong would be a perfect game for me if they included the knight in the story later on.
I love how stiff and eerie the knight moves. No posturing, intimidation, or trickery, it's just going through the motions. It's like a little wind-up monkey that can eat God.
Alright so first thing's first, this looks INCREDIBLE, such a great interpretation of the in-game abilities. But also, how much has the internet broken me that I expected this to be a 'sibling dance' animation?

I cannot express enough how much I adore the concept of the Knight knocking Hornet into the wyrm corpse and that's what makes it lay on the ground so it's possible to enter. It's brilliant!
and also why it barely starts to collapse when we enter in to it
the way the knight just walks by hornet w/o a hint of emotion is so perfect for their character

Good Lord, the movements are so fluid and the strikes have so much impact. Not to mention the background is tracked perfectly. This is the work of a master!
Honestly this is kind of the most accurate portrayal of a Hollow Knight fight. Hornet is jumping around and using all these fancy moves, while Ghost just stands there moving no more than what’s needed and not flinching at anything happening, just staring down everyone.
This is the only animation I've seen that really keeps Ghost/the Knight's expression blank. Great job on everything!

I really like imagining this kind of stuff with boss fights that have a really big meaning like this one, and finding that someone actually made an animation about that concept... this is just wonderful, good job!
Agreed, while playing Hollow Knight I often thought about how it would look like if it were a movie. This here perfectly embodies it!
Absolutely love all the detail in the environment, with geo rocks sprinkles throughout, the Knight coming out of a cloth tent, the cool path in the gap in the "snow" makes, and of course how the final blow against Hornet sends her careening into the Great Wyrm's corpse, making it accessible to the Knight. And of course the portrayal and weight behind every one of the Knight's moves is perfect. The way it transforms to attune with its void powers is so cool, and I especially love how you do the crystal dash.
That was one of the most beautiful fan animations of any franchise I've seen to date, dont lemme catch you in no Disney animation studio, you deserve WAY better ❤
Love that Hornet was on the ceiling when she was talking to the Knight, as if it is a very normal thing to be able to walk on the ceiling. Also, love the use of her spider abilities! (Namely, trapping Ghost/the Knight in webs)
Just standing on the ceiling like "what are you looking at".
But I thought she was... well... a Hornet.
She's not a spider. Her weapon is a needle and those strings are thread. It's literally a sewing needle and thread.
@@MisfiT.Vibezz She’s at least half a spider. Her mother is Herrah the Beast, who lived/lives in Deepnest, home of the spiders. It’s how she gets her thread.
@@MisfiT.Vibezz I mean, it's definitely based on a needle and thread, but if it's _literally_ a needle and thread that raises some major questions
I love how you captured the different fighting styles perfectly. The knight is a minimalist, only doing exactly what they have to in order to win, nothing flashy. Meanwhile, Hornet’s attacks look just as impressive as they are deadly, and her spinning her nail around at the beginning kinda shows that. Well animated!
this is exactly what I wanted to say. Also, I think hornet's (and the Knight's) personality was portrayed perfectly as well. this is the best hollow knight animation I've seen so far
The knight’s attacks looked pretty flashy but I know what you mean
@@Gardengap The knight's attacks were flashy, but not on purpose. Since the knight (by design) has no personality, It attacks with what it has and only does exactly what it needs to do to overcome a challenge, nothing more. Whereas Hornet's moves are chok full of personality being full of movements that (while not being detremental to her fight) are unneccesary.
This was really well animated, and you converted the game fight into an animated fight really well, great creativity! I love this!
I’ve been playing this game since it came out and this animation captures both fights with Hornet perfectly. It’s always satisfying to perfect the fight and to watch her move around with grace and compared to your limited move set the first time around. The second time around is awesome since by that point you’ve learned so much and can keep up with her thanks to all your new abilities and upgrades, by far one of the most underrated boss fights in the game!!
we also need to praise this breath taking sound design. It compliments the animation and makes it double as satisfying.

Love the artistic liberties taken here. There are a lot of limitations in place for video games as a medium (being 2d, for example, one of the biggest,) and being willing to let them go allows for so much more creativity. Having explored the HK animation rabbit hole here on youtube for the past few days, this has been the first well animated fight scene I've come across, and it breathes a lot of life into the characters which is awesome to see. Your rendition of the crystal dash was especially neat and made me wish it was in the game haha.
Beautiful. This animation made my day. Now time to rewatch it.
I love how this adds onto and incorporates elements from the game. Crystal dash attacking is amazing and cool, and at the same time you can see him using things like Baldurs Shell and Spell Twister. Not to mention how beautifully smooth and dynamic it is. I love it.
Where's spell twister? I thought it had no animations or anything and was just a stat boost.
@@Spades-tf5zs when he uses vengeful spirit, he does 4 in a row, pauses, and fires again. Without twister, you can do 3, load in soul vessels, and fire again. It might be an inconsistency, but in a way that makes it better

2:02 The moment when the knight dodges Hornet's attack to sliding on the floor and then attacking with his spin attack. It's so smooth and the music fits as well.
I like to come back to this incredible animation from time to time, probably watched it like, 5 times over the course of the last year. It's just one of those things that's so incredible it sticks with you
I love it so much!!! How u put all hability of them.... Wonderful!!!!
The fact that with the knight you can see that their face doesn’t really change and is unresponsive while hornets is expressive is such a small and neat detail that could have been left out but really makes such a huge difference in the story
2:32 i imagine all of the void yelling "You will not perish you have a job to do vessel!"
Well, I think THAT was the fail of the animation. How Knight got the hability upgrade if he still doesn't get the King's Brand? If my memory doesn't falling, It are in the Abyss, the one that you only can access with the King's Brand.
@@SoUmBrasileiro Artists Lisense. Shriek looks way cooler than wraiths.
I think they would say "..." tbh sounds more in character
I just want to say to the person that made this: thank you so much. This is the video that prompted me to try Hollow Knight and now it is unquestionably my favorite game of all time. Hollow Knight has given me so much to enjoy.This animation has literally changed my life for the better, so thank you.
This looks amazing and I absolutely love it, great job!!
I love how Hornet expects some sort of confrontation at the end but the knight just walks past to continue its mission
I love how Hornet looks so impressed by Ghost for about a second and then goes back to dodging attacks.
just a SHORT? This may as well be a full on movie with the quality! I'm still playing through hollow knight and I beat this a couple days ago, and I love how you interpreted the fight!
Incredible and captivating little short. Great direction. If there was more, I'd be glued to it!
This is so good, all the little details that stay true to the game, and the artistic liberties you took to make the fight new and fresh, its soooo good
Except for one detail that was wrong, but still a cool video Edit: Abyss Shriek is impossible to have in that fight.
@@chair42 And Crystal Dash has zero offensive capabilities. It’s way too powerful here compared to the original game. But the way the knight used here it is just so damn cool. So It’s completely fine.
@@chair42 ough yeah… b-but… shshshsh fight cool we can have this one…
even the nail upgrade is the one i had lol
I like the fact that the knight doesn't have pure nail, but has the abyss shriek
That was probably just howling wraiths?
@@stuckify9821 but howling wraiths is white like soul, and the abyss shriek is black like void.
@@somar8989 then we can argue that abyss shriek has that one purple soul in the middle and is deployed on a larger scale? I don't know honestly lol
that was such a good fan short! good job
An absolute masterpiece
