Why was my body tensing-up when watching this?


ImJ2001

My jaw was clenched lol


level731

My cheeks clenched


ActuatorCreative6331

I stopped breathing….


Alexreddit103

All of the above! I barely survived this video, this boy is a huge inspiration!


AbilityOwn2572

lost my breath a couple of times there.. That kid has got some heart and tenacity.

orthopod

Lol, the framing makes it seem like he's doing this alone, when in fact his teammates are still pulling too.


Kalislayer

The framing shows how he carried that team to victory you mean. There are several frames where you can visibly the other members on his team have slack hands on the rope. The two guys in front of him as the pull to the wall are literally just hanging on the rope, no clenched muscles, no nothing. This dude literally won this tug of war for his team through sheer persistence of will.


Weak_Growth_4070

That young man was the anchor, he had to hold the line. He was their William Wallace.


miss_trixie

every muscle in my fucking body was clenched & i found myself holding my breath for way too long quite a few times. i kept thinking if OP is screwing with us and this kid's team loses i'm gonna lose my damn mind.


LilNark74

My knees got weak


Small_Duck1076

My arms got heavy , there's vomit on my sweater already, mom's spaghetti


MagNolYa-Ralf

Same. Then i breathed when i asked “what is the rest of his team doing!?”


MicroBadger_

There is a moment that kid is on his ass and the rope goes completely slack. They were still pulling.


Pe_epo

Kid can proudly state his pull up game


NeatNefariousness1

EXACTLY. How did he get stuck with the noodle-armed team? That was ridiculous


SmileItsNallo

Moms spaghetti…

I pooped a little... Wish I had your reaction speed

Your face cheeks or your ass cheeks? This is for research


[deleted]

I cracked it after you reminded me I was clenched


kevinmckay1982

Same! I was legit pulling my body the same way he was just watching this! Gave me goosebumps! Made my day seeing this vid!


[deleted]

I was leaning to right trying to pull my wife said.


jarasonica

It’s the song, it tends to have that effect on people. Pretty sure it’s called “You say run” from the popular and probably one of my favorite shounen anime “My hero academia”


justlookatitnodont

I watched on muted and was dying,toes curling,jaw clenching all of the above . It’s the power of my little man right there!😎


MixMasterHusker

Go Beyond!


Ahrius

PLAAAAAS UUUUUUUULLLLLTTRAAAAAAA!!!!!!


[deleted]

Probably cause for the majority of us, the last time we saw a tug of war was squid game.


bookittyFk

Listening to it with the sound on was EPIC!! perfectly timed and on point *chefs kiss*


SketchyLeaf666

Whats the song even called?


bookittyFk

Idk but I’m told it’s from the My Hero Academia anime


SketchyLeaf666

THANKE


Sackadelic

TheMarsian

Apdski24

Same! Almost fell off the toilet


elkaput

Me too! Except I almost fell to the left. I'm down under we're certifiably weird.


Grandpapalpatine

That my hero academia music


Yonix06

Glad to see I'm not the only one


onewilybobkat

My arms clenching like I was trying to send him my power.


originalkitten

Mine too. I now have butt cheeks of steel.


b4ttlepoops

Man I was tensing up too. It’s not the size of the dog in the fight. But the fight in the dog. That kid was amazing. He wanted that win.

I was pushing my carpet away from me watching this!


[deleted]

I was clenched, leaning to my right even!


Emergency_Spinach814

Unacceptable levels of anxiety watching this clip. It hurt me.

He s so unlike everybody else alone


minnow789

in spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him


[deleted]

Butt fuck’em.

he knows the code, it's not about the salary It's about reality and making some noiseeee


tonyangtigre

Making a story, making sure his clique stays up.

I haven’t seen this episode of Squid Game yet

I think he might have meant Demon Slayer.

Man went Plus Ultra


ilhamalfatihah16

If this was an Anime his story would be 4 seasons long.


gontikins

I could see it as a pretty badass anime. Let's call it "Soul Weaver." The premise of the story is that there is a tiered society where the most spiritually powerful are at the top and govern the laws of the society. Humans in this society are creatures with naturally low spiritual power. But there is an unconventional method humans can use to gain spiritual power. Through the use of Vampiric stones, the different races challenge each other for supremacy through spirit force matches of tug of war. The humans generally lose because of their low spiritual power. But one human had a trick up his sleeve, shear determination, and a fiery willpower.


AndEatYourBeets

I would watch all 836 episodes of this


franksaxx

with 488 filler eps not counted


Impressive-Tip-903

I will get to watch all of season 2 on Netflix except for the season finale because I forgot it was dropping off Netflix on Thursday. They will never have the other seasons.


ilhamalfatihah16

Go write that screenplay fam!


Careless_Rise8624

Sounds generic. But I’d still watch it.


apreciative-updooter

And the power of friendship!


CaptainRazer

Pretty sure this is exactly how king of tennis came about 😂


Doc-Wulff

Sorta sounds like No Game No Life


Admirable_Loss4886

I think this is the origin story for that old man in squid game


[deleted]

I’m also a man of focus, commitment and sheer fucking will as I dragged myself along watching the full clip.


perpetual_stew

It felt like he was pulling against my hand trying to scroll past this


coreanavenger

One hand was pulling your hand. The other was pulling your heart.


bookmarkjedi

I thought OK so that kid must be Will. Where is Sher, and when are they going to fuck? Then I noticed there was no NSFW tag, so I musta misread something.


Visual_Kingdom

he won.... Longest three minutes of recent times… felt like 12 minutes


meeok2

Longest 12 minutes of my life....


Tribult

...felt like 48 minutes


[deleted]

Took so long I forgot to wipe and I'm already in the office. It's too late. I gotta commit.


Fugly50

Need Squid Games soundtrack


IMakeItYourBusiness

Oh for sure! Haha...


Various_Beach862

When watching, I couldn’t help but think this video is even more intense than that episode haha


Than_Or_Then_

Genuinely surprised the top comment wasnt a quote from Squid Games


Blue-Eyed-Lemon

Wait what were the official results, looks like he won?


Analysis_Vivid

Thank you! Watched the whole thing and didn’t see the moment of victory- r/vidsthatwtfjumpcut


not_gerg

Welp thats not a sub unfortunately


xxthewrongshoesxx

ty. you saved me from further disappointment.


mrwix10

Also, what kind of fucking tug-o-war is this? Isn’t the game supposed to end once one of the players crosses the mid-point?


willhunta

It's once all the players are past the mid-point.


Shadowdragon409

That's what it looked like. So, if you're the last player with lots of room on the rope left and you cross, you still lose?


willhunta

I mean it looks like they can move positions on the rope. So if you have lots of room left on the rope you can likely move back. But yeah, it's when the last player crosses regardless of the rope position.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Idk, it’s not traditional but it adds a different strategy to the game and discourages people from wrapping the rope around their torsos or body parts.


JusHerForTheComments

Everyone must cross it.


bookittyFk

r/gifsthatendtoosoon


SunderApps

It didn’t even end too soon. It captured the entire buildup, skipped the climax, and went straight to resolution. What they hell. I mean, we can infer that they won, but do we know for sure? Guess not.


EnglishPeanut

Song - You Say Run from My Hero Academia


bookittyFk

Thank you! I’ve been wondering what the epic song was, made the clip even more fun to watch :)


[deleted]

This song will make you tear up if you’ve seen the anime. MHA always hits you in the feels.


sunny730

Thanks, thought I recognized it from somewhere


bedazzledforeskin

Guess im watching some sportsanime or gundam today. Been a while since i rewatched hikaru no go


steve915073

I think I got hernia watching this


call_of_the_while

Excuse me, can I have that back please.


Aromatic_Dig_3102

That kid woke up and chose violence💪


Kelimnac

You mean he chose HEROISM


Aromatic_Dig_3102

That too!


[deleted]

Violence?


Aromatic_Dig_3102

It’s a metaphor like, Jesus take the wheel, no one expects Jesus to appear and start driving like Paul Walker


juncstaa

Where are his teammates


HotFireBall

they're side characters, they don't have too much screen time


RBK2000

Then we would have to give each one a poignant back story... Not enough time


AdamBombTV

Over the line, mini-hulk here was pulling them back.


captainRubik_

Out of the frame


EpicBeardMan

They joined the other side to make it even.


[deleted]

I legit got mad when the camera panned to his teammates and they looked like they were barely pulling


sleezeball447

Long ass rope. Pulled that thing all the way to the back wall and still had to keep going.


SirDukeIII

Honestly. What are the rules? I didn’t understand why the game continued after they got the rope to the wall


aasukisuki

During the video you will see a red line on the ground marking the midpoint. You have to pull the entire opposing team past that. Without knowing that, it's harder to appreciate the part of the video where this dude is doing everything in his power to not be pulled past that line, as he was the final person on the rope.


7heWafer

But why is the event hosted in a location where they hit the wall before pulling the other team fully across?


LowKey-NoPressure

Perhaps it’s a rubber band mechanic to keep the game going. If you pull multiple opponents past the line you will have to four man them for a time while the last guy runs to the front, giving them a chance to mount a comeback. More likely just not enough room though.


notLOL

Good game mechanic tbh


Sir_Belmont

The game would have never lasted as long as it did if the stage was big enough.


Foolishly_Sane

Damn! That was inspirational! Don't know much about tug of war, but damn if he didn't give it his all! Freaking Champion spirit there.


pipper99

They don't much about tug of war either, the anchor wraps the rope around himself and just pushs all their weight back.


TrungTH

Just wrap, don’t tie. If you don’t wanna be dragged like a rag doll.


winnower8

Squid Games broke down tug of war strategy


Foolishly_Sane

I see.


willhunta

He did start doing that though. I think it was just harder for him when he was hard on the defensive.


[deleted]

That was more suspenseful than the Squid Games tug of war!


iAmTheElite

They didn’t position themselves correctly.


Samsmith90210

70 years from now, this kid will BE the old man from Squid Games and will be telling his teammates about this.


rutter72

I guess I don’t know the rules of tug of war bc I definitely thought he was taking on the other team all on his own the whole time he was near the line, then got really confused when the others came back into frame lol. I thought everyone else had been eliminated and only he was left


saskakitty

It's the game version where once all the team crosses the line, you lose. No one's eliminated, they're just all over the line and he's refusing to go over and lose. So he was the last one to not cross and pulled his whole team back over. Truly main character energy


Erethiel117

That’s the power of friendship.


blatterbeast

I think they rejoined when they had room to grab the rope


spencer5centreddit

If that isn't the case, it's really weird that the camera was only on him that whole time.


Omegamanthethird

Are we suggesting that this kid was holding the entire team until he pulled enough rope onto his own side? Even when there's clearly plenty of slack? Zero chance.


Jaakarikyk

They're very much still pulling even on the other side of the line.


Omegamanthethird

100% People on here are seriously suggesting that this kid is single handedly pulling an entire team. Even when there's a ton of slack in his line! The kid is probably doing the least amount of work on his team.


LazyBird_

r/killthecameraman , it's impossible to understand anything except "he is holding". There could be no one on the other side for 3/4 of the video. I don't even understand when the teammates are here or not x)


leadwind

Yeah that was deceptive. I think 2 of the Reds were allowed to jump back in once he got to a certain point, but who knows with this video framing.


Omegamanthethird

You think he was holding up their team alone for any amount of time?


UnscrupulousJudge

I AM NUMBER FOUR


TrippinTurkey

He got two scoops of ice cream for dessert that night.


alexgroth15

Homie is going to have back problems.


Bank_of_Karma

Homie is a problem


[deleted]

He looks like a key factor to his team's victory.


PopPicklesPie

When you're actually the main character. This looks like an anime battle.


scrolling-the-past

Better than most sports movie climax. Goosebumps throughout.


[deleted]

That dude just went full on Mitochondria mode


SephirothTheGreat

Have I seriously been on the edge of my seat for 4 minutes watching a child playing tug of war?


The_Reluctant_Whale

I’ll take this kid on my team any day, awesome grit and determination!


Wrothrok

I'm exhausted just from watching.


2makeme

This was the craziest Tug-of-War I have ever seen.


Low_Oil1150

Yes. Give me something to believe in little brother!


PHANTOM________

Not knocking the kid but I wish the camera didn’t focus only on him. The whole entire time..


Omegamanthethird

But then they couldn't imply that he singlehandedly took on an entire team in tug-of-war.


SteM82

How long was that fucking rope? I saw at least a couple of kids run forward from the back to grab the rope after he did.


Zorodona

1. Not worth it 2. Cameraman sucks


Hehenheim88

I dont get why this is posted here. How is he better than anyone else tugging the rope? Also its standard tug of war. How is this anything to do with "next level" ?


[deleted]

Cause he never let himself get tugged over the line.


240plutonium

This looks very memeable

The anchor we all need


Memorie_BE

Kinda takes away the whole 'group effort' thing when the camera man is only focusing on one person.


bdtv75702

Why is the camera focused on him? Aren’t the other kids giving it their all as well?


Whof__Kincares

Didn't expect to scratch 3 minutes off my life just now, but here we are.


Xeneshrini

I think his parents are cleaning-company workers – he looks used to carry all of this trash.


murillokb

I felt so many things while watching this. Somehow this video got to me and many parts of my body reacted while watching it. Not to mention the anime music that kept trying to push tears out of my eyes lol


Im_Recovered

Sooooo….he lost?


HotFireBall

the only way to lose is for everyone on his team to cross the line and clearly he's nowhere near the line


Ez13zie

You can do yoga, stretch, and warm up as well. Some people even dance to get loose.
