The people who didn't abruptly die are the most interesting parts... Rose/Roxy? Are they the only kids still alive? Besides whatsername. Not-Vriska.

Rose is pretty dead, though she might be alive enough to get out some last words. Aranea was getting choked pretty hard by HIC. I think the only kids left at this point are John, Roxy, and Dirk.

It's not known if Gamzee is proper god tiered or if he's just cosplaying. I don't know if this fucks with Canon proper because now who raised Caliborn/Calliope?

You don't see her because she was busy in Tumblr looking for reactions like these.

If Terezi is still around, I'm pretty sure Gamzee will still be haunting her like an insane spector. If she IS dead, theres no real reason for him to be alive anymore, or atleast in any narrative way that I can make sense of.

Aranea killed Jane anyway
Kanaya killed Gamzee
HiC killed Kanaya while blowing everything up
Jack and PM killed Dave (Why were they fighting?)
Arenea killed Terezi when Terezi tried to come at her for some reason
HiC stabbed a vengeful Rose with her trident, but Roxy teleported her away (not dead yet, but pretty bad off)
HiC started strangling Arenea
Dirk's gonna be confused when he gets back.

People who are for sure not dead: Condy, Rose (no DEAD screen yet), Roxy, PM/Bec Noir, Caliborn and John.

Prediction: Caliborn will now go full Lord English while in proximity of the horses, hence why his "demise" will would have been ironic had it not unhappened in the future. (ok that one got away from me)

Also Gamzee got cut in half, god tier or no he's had it (pretty sure that qualifies as "just" if he is, and even a clown can't survive being bisected)

One interesting thing I noticed was that, for a brief shot, we saw the environment surrounding the Cal-shaped facility Caliborn is in. Hopefully somebody faster on the screenshot key than I am will rise to the occasion.

Getting all his friends unkilled would be a pretty good motivation for John to learn how to control his extra-narrative existence. I guess that's what he'll be doing next. It was Caliborn's influence on the story (the glitches that prevented everybody from coordinating) that caused the situation to deteriorate to this, as well as John's absence.

Lot of good images, though. Karkat getting so mad he outran a vampire, Dave doing something heroic and dying for it, Jake's pointless noble sacrifice, our first look at some of the Empress' more destructive powers, John beating the poo poo out of Caliborn.

How ironic, that Caliborn's very first defeat would be in the proximity of some horses. What? You didn't follow that? Just think it over. Think it over...

The dog part of them made them really protective of Jade, and Dave wanted to actually save her but they wouldn't let him near her.

There's no way that Karkat could outrun Kanaya's vampire speed, where's your consistency Hussie?

edit: beaten by Bongo Bill, I also like how Aranea and HiC's psychic battle had the same ridiculous feeling as this panel

You people sure have a way of forgetting Aranea, you know, duking it head on with the Condesce, being immortal, and generally a shitlord who just killed two major characters.

Ripped from his home against his (informed) will, witnessed the destruction of Earth and all humanity, watched all his friends die numerous times, saw his Dad's bleeding corpse, then got three long years to stew in it during puberty while also dealing with "normal" teenager poo poo. Then he watched his ecto-sister get possessed and kidnap everyone else as everything burned to the ground upon their arrival in the new session. Went on a trek through the afterlife with his kinda-sorta-ex-crush, who he finally realized is an awful murderer, stuck his hand into every point in space-time and became unbound from reality, eventually leading him to Caliborn's place, where he was forced to endure Homosuck firsthand, and to top it all off was forced to view his awful Deviantart account with its impossibly lovely fanart.

All that sorrow, all that angst, all that righteous wrath and hormone-fueled emotional turmoil, channeled through the powers of a wrathful god and given microscopic focus by finding out that this little poo poo is ultimately responsible for all the poo poo he's been through.

Plus, he was raised by Dad, the manliest of men.

Are you really surprised he can deliver a beatdown when the time comes?

what a humorous anecdote.
The part of me that's in denial is saying that John is either going to fix all of this by learning how to control his untime zapping, or that it's a doomed timeline like Bec Noir being defeated on the meteor was.

The other part of me is hoping against hope that Rose will survive.

I'm pretty excited to see so many things happening, and a lot of deaths & future consequences coming back down the line. It had felt like the story was getting bogged down in a lot of extraneous details, so hopefully this is Hussie paring down to the very bone of the story before moving onward.
