Canon

Raid helps team "Happy Meatball" by watching over B Block, making sure she stays in the hole to not cause mischief. B Block lets out a muffled protest before dawning an annoyed expression. Raid is excited but nervous at the same time, viewing this as a hero's first mission. B Block's face looks neutral as Raid states that this is what his team would want, while not sounding too sure of himself. After some time of Raid watching over B Block, Raid notices some frolicking going on. Raid resists the urge to join the frolicking gang so he can focus on watching B Block. B Block notices Raid's struggle with not joining in on frolicking and she calls out to him. B Block asks if Raid wants to join the other objects in frolicking, which Raid denies, saying he's much happier fulfilling his duties. B Block continues to egg him on to join the frolicking gang. Raid's sweating bullets at this point, choking out that he can't but B Block tells him to frolic in the field with his friends. B Block starts chanting "frolic" which the frolicking gang follows along on until Raid finally gives in and joins the frolicking gang. B Block states that the watchful eye, Raid, has released his clutches on her before she exits the hole.

Raid and B Block share several key similarities in their characters, particularly in their flaws and how they interact with their teams. One of the most notable commonalities they have is that they are both armless. Additionally, neither of them have good self-control, often giving in to their impulses despite knowing the consequences. B Block, for instance, tries to resist her mischievous tendencies, but her desire for chaos ultimately gets the better of her, leading her to expose her team’s hiding spot. Similarly, Raid struggles to control himself, as seen when he abandons his responsibility to watch B Block in favor of frolicking. They both have impulsiveness as a weakness.

Beyond their struggles with self-control, both Raid and B Block prove to be unreliable teammates, often making choices that negatively impact their groups. B Block’s love for mischief directly leads her to sabotage her own team, which lead them to be killed by Animatic. Raid, on the other hand, chose to wait to recover Peppermint, which ultimately causes his team to lose. These poor choices not only hinder their own chances of success but also strain their relationships with their fellow teammates. Their teammates express clear frustration and disdain toward them as a result of their actions. Squirt Gun, for example, goes as far as trapping B Block in a hole to prevent her from further sabotaging their team. Meanwhile, Tiery dismisses Raid’s disappearance as typical, implying that his tendency to run off is nothing new since he took so long to recover Peppermint last time. Both Raid and B Block are not seen as reliable or valued members of their teams.

Fanon

Raidblock is a rarepair in the Animatic Battle fandom. This is because Raid and B Block don't interact in the first two episodes of Animatic Battle. The ship comes from Raid and B Block's dynamic in episode 3, with Raid trying to keep focus on his duty to watch over B Block but B Block egging him on to join the frolickers. This interaction between them is interpreted as enemies to lovers by shippers, resulting in them being shipped. There is few pieces of fanart for this ship, but some shippers depict their relationship as playfully antagonistic, while others just depict it as an average relationship. Other fanworks, however, display their relationship as more wholesome. With B Block realizing how her mischievousness made Raid fail his hero duties, resulting in apologies and the two bonding. This interpretation of their relationship is more similar to enemies to friends to lovers, rather than just enemies to lovers. A rival ship for this is Raidstickyhand.
