Have we ever got any confirmation that NK has actually been defeated 99 times? Maybe the reason it has to be done over and over again with nobody apparently remembering anything other than the first time, is because he keeps winning and destroying history or whatever?

Well, if he's literally bench pressing reality like that (This could just be a SuperNova style attack) then I could see it, yeah.

Well Rosemaster at least does say that they've suffered 99 defeats. I guess it's not outside the realm of possibility that NK or another Disaster Master is also affecting her memories though.

The animation finishes, and the gang are standing right there they were except Carrot's nose is bruised, Cucumber has a cut on his cheek, and Almond has sprained her wrist.

Well, no, their christmas is going to be hosed either way (and Almond will be lucky to not get the n'th degree off of Cucumber for all this) but not to the fatal degree that literal reality bench press will do to them.

I'm not going to ask you to stop reading it, but your posts lately are a real bummer, would you consider maybe not posting because it always tends to stir the pot?

Carrot, this could've been avoided if you had just drawn NK some colorful illustrations of what "mercy" looks like.

Nightmare Knight takes his job as a spirit crushing mailman seriously. So now that he's sufficiently crushed Carrot's spirit he can deliver that letter Parfait gave him.

The more the comic craps on Carrot over how useless he is, the more I come to like him. He's becoming one of my favourite characters now. :unsmith:

Carrot's not really useless: he manged to guilt Nightmare Knight into letting Cumber and Almond go, that's pretty impressive. Nightmare Knight is just insulting him and acting like a douche to save face.

Well, presumably Parfait, for one.

But yeah, Carrot is by no means useless, he's just not martially inclined. Similar to Cucumber, really.

Also he's still trying to wing some way he can deliver the letter without revealing himself as a big softy. So far he's leaning towards "oh apparently I've had some trash stuck to my foot all the way from Doughnut Kingdom. I'll throw this trash at you now, since you, yourself, are also trash. I'm not looking at the piece of trash okay I don't know what it is"
