[[MindScrew REALLY weird]].]] Put simply, [[spoiler:an eldritch being named S O U L invades the universe and begins corrupting it, which involves among other things turning off the SoBadItsGood. The rest of the series follows various protagonists' adventures [[AnachronicOrder in various periods of time]] that all seem to end in their deaths.]]

Sure Why Not is now Ascended Fanon. It\'s also Trivia. Bad examples and ZCE are being removed - If you disagree, feel free to restore with proper context.


* SureWhyNot: The author has declared three [[FanSequel Fan Prequels]] to be canon. Hell, more than that - suggest any ridiculous theory or idea to the author and they'll probably canonize it on the spot. [[http://pastebin.com/zqv7eT50 For example, this chat log in which a Miiverse user who complains about the Doge meme is stated to be S O U L.]] Yeah.

* ChekovsGun: [[spoiler:Literally with the Etherblast Gun/Gigantes Axe item duality, spanning the entire series. In the very first game, an Etherblast Gun taken out of a chest turns into a Gigantes Axe. This is never mentioned again until the very end of the final game, where Marina gives you the Gigantes Axe just in case it comes in handy, and it turns back into the Etherblast Gun just in time for Morshu to shoot Old Guy The King.]]

* [[spoiler:CerebusSyndrome: Not only does the first game's plot become much darker and more serious, the plot of the rest of the series after the first game is substantially more convoluted and defined.]]
