* '''Reconstructed''': It turns out, this was just a SecretTestOfCharacter by God to see if Bob the Viking would realize how senselessly violent he was in his life. He is rewarded by a "true" Warrior Heaven in which he gets to beat up non-living robots, reliving the thrill of battle without the cost of human life. Fights with other dead warriors or angels are more sparring-for-points than deadly combat.
