Rooftop at night with a lamp: a silhouette, a close grip, purple sparks at the grip, a throw in a spark cloud, a kneeling pin and both lying on the mat.

Task: Re-tell a short sparring story in a low-key sakuga shonen anime on a rooftop at dusk, at 20 s.

Outcome: succeeded

0.84 s: A dark rooftop with a lamp and a silhouette. 4.18 s: Close grip: a white-gi student and a larger blue-gi rival, stars above. 9.20 s: Purple sparks at the grip. 10.87 s: Sparks scatter around a throw. 12.54 s: The rival's back fills the frame in a spark cloud. 14.21 s: The student kneels on the downed rival. 15.88 s: The student over him, hands at his collar. 17.56 s: Both lie on the mat. 19.23 s: Same. Intent vs result: The sampled frames keep the spark effect on the throw and the same cast across shots. Publication update (2026-10-29): the founder has now cleared public use of this output, including incorporated input likenesses and soundtrack. Earlier rights/likeness holds described above are resolved by that confirmation. Reference-input files remain private. Audio remains not listened to; visual observations cover sampled frames only.

Evidence claims

  • [sourced_fact] Timestamped observations above come from viewing 12 sampled frames of the output (sampled visual inspection, not full playback).
  • [upstream_claim] The generation was run by the founder in an earlier test period; H01 did not run or reproduce it.
  • [inference] Spark clouds are a compact way to signal impact in the sampled frames.
