Yellow (AvA/AvM)

Yellow is one of the main protagonists of the Animator vs. Animation franchise, being one of the five members of the Stick Gang.

He is one of the Fighting Stick Figures, alongside Green, Red and Blue, who first appeared in Animator vs. Animation 4, where they met an orange stick figure named The Second Coming who taught them how to escape their website out into the rest of the Internet.

Known as the brains and engineer of the group, he is best known for his excellent redstone skills and computer knowledge given his ease in using the command block in Minecraft and was easily able to hack into The Dark Lord's computer and create a cursor fighting program for Alan's cursor with it. He is logical and confident by nature, but can be a bit controlling.

Yellow is a yellow natural stick figure of average height. His official hex code is #FFCC00, as stated by Alan Becker in a Discord message.

Yellow is the most intelligent member of the Stick Gang, and is shown to be the calmest under pressure, being able to think quickly and accurately in even the most dire of situations. His high intelligence comes in handy, especially through his expertise in technology. Yellow is the one to teach his friends the ins and outs of redstone and has shown himself to be a master with command blocks. Additionally, Yellow is shown to be very caring of his friends, especially Blue—who can be considered his best friend—and tries to keep them safe, though his efforts are not always successful, as seen in Nether Nap. Yellow also has a bit of a mischievous streak and enjoys pulling pranks on his friends, such as by taunting Red with a cake or making Green the wallpaper on Alan's phone.

Overall: Yellow is seen to be very adept in fighting, a trait shared with all the Fighting Stick Figures; however, he is more so known for his knowledge of redstone and coding/hacking.

Genius-Level Intellect: Yellow's most notable trait is his high intelligence, particularly in technology and redstone engineering, best seen in The Showdown, Animation vs. Minecraft, and The Rediscovery. Yellow is also shown to be capable of using The Dark Lord's computer to contact noogai3 and program the cursor into the Outernet, and he can be seen using redstone to create a variety of contraptions, even as an animal, as shown in The Witch. Yellow utilizes his redstone mastery and weapons like TNT to benefit his fighting style.

Expert Hand-to-Hand Combat: Yellow is shown to be proficient in hand-to-hand fighting, being able to fight on par with the other Fighting Stick Figures.

Expert Swordsmanship: Yellow is very skilled in sword fighting, being able to defend him and his friends from a multitude of threats, from hordes of cave spiders and nether mobs to other stick figures.

Grappling Proficiency: While not his instrument of choice, Yellow is able to use fishing rods as grappling hooks with relative ease. He has been shown using the tool catch opponents, hang off edges and walls, and even rescues his friends, most notably Blue, with it.

Expert Percussionist: Yellow is shown to be extremely well-versed in drumming. This was seen in Note Block Battle and other musical AVM Shorts videos.

Lucky Block Powers: Under the possession of the Orb, Yellow is able to gain several extra abilities.

Flight: Yellow gets the ability to fly with imaginary wings from the lucky blocks.

Item Creation: Yellow was able to get items from the lucky block and use them to fight.

Control over Others: Yellow has the ability to put others under the lucky blocks control.

Durability: Yellow was given more durability then usual.

Extreme Strength: Yellow was made stronger then he was before.

Command Block Staff Proficiency: Yellow is shown to be able to wield a command block staff with relative ease fairly quickly. Considering that the staff seemingly works by thinking of the desired command, Yellow's mind is likely smart and fast enough to think of the best commands in time to use in battle.

He always breaks Minecraft's redstone logic, which is shown in many episodes of AVM Shorts.

He is the second stick figure to technically talk (the first being The Second Coming), using The Dark Lord's console to send messages to noogai3.

Throughout Season 3 of the AVM Shorts, numerous hints foreshadow Yellow and his command block staff, which he still possesses as shown in "Ultimate Minecart Race": ^ He follows King Orange the second he sees him wielding a command block in his staff. ^^ During Yellow's time in the throne room, he had a staff with a command block on it given to them by King Orange. ^^^ He toys for a moment with King Orange's staff after getting it, and grabs the command block before going with Blue to the Titan Ravager Village.

Both times when a member of the Stick Gang has "died," Yellow is seen comforting Blue.

Yellow is able to create advanced technology and machinery out of anything; one example of this is Yellow's arcade machine. In "The Showdown," Yellow was referred to as "ITSMEYELLOW" after sending a message to noogai3.

A poll in late 2024 revealed that Yellow was the tenth most popular character in the series, meaning he is the least favorite out of the Stick Gang and was also beaten by Purple (9th place), King Orange, The Chosen One, The Dark Lord, and more.

He is the second Stick Figure to appear in the Animation vs. Education series, following The Second Coming.

Yellow seems slightly softer than he was in older videos like the original Animation vs. Minecraft.

Yellow, alongside The Second Coming, has been wanted twice in the franchise. In "The King," he and the rest of the Stick Gang were unofficially wanted by King Orange due to them having and knowing how to use the Minecraft game icon. And in The Box, he’s wanted by Rocket Corp. after victim found out that he was the one who printed the cursor in "The Showdown."
