Whatever dark deal with a demon Gigi made to work with colour the way she does it was totally worth it because :drat:

Turns out Mutemaster turns into a murderbeast whenever he's knocked out, and it's a hassle to get him back to normal. Noisemaster just wanted to avoid that.

If that's the case, I wonder if noisemaster is actually more or less harmless, but capable of being really loud so as to awaken murder-beast mode. It would explain why they are paired together.

This is the part of the boss fight where the fight theme gets really muted and only the deep bass comes through clearly.

I can't not read Noisemaster's dialogue this last page with some kind of drawl. Not really sure why though. It's really weird because it doesn't really fit very good with most of his other dialogue, at least in my head :confused:]

E: What was it some folks were saying a while ago about Knightmare Knight being the Dream Oracle's former boyfriend and all this stuff basically being her being a jerk?

Quite a funny and fitting theory for this comic.

From what I understand the Dream Oracle is already a bit of a jerk, so this isn't exactly out of character or anything.

To be fair, it's already pretty well established that the Dream Oracle has a non-trivial Jerkface attribute.

Assuming that the fallout from a failed relationship is the woman's fault is.

Sorta a stretch in this case, though.

Gigi said something about his voice being somewhere around the Beastie Boys' which personally fits decently

Well, Cucumber does have actual magic now so it's possible he can save her with water. Or plugs. Or pizza.

Cucumber's always had magic. He's just used to having a lovely wand.

I think the thing that's going to save Almond is whatever is causing the gray-scale splash.

I don't recall his power causing the color to go away, and if it was from him it would make more sense for it to be in more than just the last two panels. I could easily be wrong. Or we could both sort of be right and docile Mutemaster could wake up again, but that's not likely.

The only reason I bring it up is the timing points more toward it saving her. It reminds me of some depictions of time being stopped more than anything.

The last time we saw this kinda thing happen, it definitely wasn't trying to save them. So it's pretty safe to say it's Mutemaster's power.

The gray splash that mutes everything is as good as explicitly confirmed to be Mutemaster's power.

I find it amusing that this whole thing was a huge heel turn for Almond in the eyes of the fans. I've seen almost exclusively "you deserve a beatdown" comments about this turn of events.
