Summary

Green is playing a Note Block station and the FSF (except TSC) try to join him, but he refuse, wanting to play alone. So, they decide to brew a "Potion of Musicality" and give it to a chicken, that starts playing better than Green with a single Note Block. Green accepts the challenge and the others drink the potions too and join the chicken. The two factions start to build many complex instruments, until Green uses an enchanted trident to summon a lighting creating an electric guitar, but the chicken uses the same trick. This music battle wakes up TSC, who takes a guitar and starts playing so intensely that he summons lightning and creates a soundwave that destroys the instruments, all so he can return to sleep.

Tropes

  • Awesomeness Is Volatile: When SC intervenes, it's with an electric guitar solo so amazing that it summons lightning and destroys the rest of the note block setups.
  • Brick Joke: Note Blocks started with a chicken and soon turned to note blocks. Note Block Battle starts with note blocks and soon turns to a chicken.
  • Insomnia Episode: Once again, SC is kept awake by the other sticks' note block shenanigans.
  • Rule of Cool: Creating note-block based instruments is fairly accurate to Minecraft mechanics, as they still consist of a note block atop another block that provides the sound type. Using lightning strikes on them to create electric guitars, on the other hand, is this trope for being exceptionally cool, but not possible in the game.
  • Rule of Funny: Using a note block as the reagent in a brewing stand produced a Potion of Musicality, which when applied to a person gives them exceptional skill with note blocks. Does this make sense? No. But it's absolutely hilarious.
  • Sequel Escalation: Compared to the original Note Block episode, the sticks are much more experienced with note blocks (and, by extension, Minecraft as a whole), allowing them to escalate things well beyond what they did the first time.
