Due to the episode's spoiler-heavy nature, all spoilers on this page are left unmarked.
Finn and Jake rediscover their brotherly bond and embark on the most important adventure of their lives.
Tropes
- Ambiguous Situation: Peppermint Butler is the new princess of the Candy Kingdom, which begs the question of what happened to Princess Bubblegum.
- And the Adventure Continues: Finn and Jake choose to reincarnate back into the world of the living to have more adventures.
- Ascended Extra: One of the major characters in this episode is Mr. Fox, who only had two major appearances in the series prior to this. In fact, Mr. Fox is the one who ends up killing the Big Bad, New Death, and becomes the new Death.
- As Long as It Sounds Foreign: While otherwise speaking a pretty good French, Life uses the verb "Infurie" in her rant. "Infurie" doesn't exist in French unlike "Infuriate" does in English. She should probably say "Cela me rend complètement furieuse!" instead.
- Bait-and-Switch:
- The marketing and the first few minutes of the special give the impression that the story is about an adventure Finn and Jake had when they were younger, before "Obsidian", which shows an adult Finn and a curiously absent Jake, and would depict a story where they bond before going their separate ways. Then it's revealed that not only does the episode take place well into the future, but that they are both dead and have to reunite before moving on.
- In order to get out of their predicament, Finn thinks of calling "P.B." and he and Jake start a séance by chanting "Princess." The next scene shows Princess Bubblegum...'s statue being tended to by the new Princess of the Candy Kingdom, Peppermint Butler.
- Batman Gambit: New Death lets Finn live in their encounter because he knows a Determinator like Finn won't rest no matter what until he finds a way into the 50th Dead World, because New Death himself is incapable of finding a way there.
- Big Bad: New Death, the son of Life and Death, who usurped his father and seeks to destroy the Dead Worlds and prevent reincarnation for his own amusement. It's revealed that he is actually possessed by the Lich, who takes his place as the true Big Bad and appropriately Finn and Jake's final enemy.
- Big Brother Instinct: Jake is finally shaken back to his old, adventuring self when he sees Finn being mercilessly being beaten up on by a group of Undertakers. To his own confusion, he starts shaking with rage and his right hand instinctively clenches into a fist, right before he launches headfirst into battle to defend his brother.Jake: Lay. Off. My! BOY!
- Bilingual Bonus: After Finn and Jake reveal to Life that New Death has stopped the cycle of reincarnation, she furiously mutters in French as she assembles the Kiss of Life, the artifact meant to stop him.Life: HE DID WHAT?! He's willing to snatch my entire purpose from ME?! Après tout ce que j'ai fais pour ce garçon, après tout ce que j'ai fais pour lui. Non mais c'est pas possible, ce n'est pas possible. Non ça me... ça m'infurie complètement! Mais c'est pas possible! Translation
- Bloody Bowels of Hell: Two of the Dead Worlds Finn encounters have landscapes made of melded flesh and other anatomical features.
- Brick Joke: Early on, Mr. Fox tells Finn that he hopes to work his way up the employee chain of command of the afterlife to obtain a hypoallergenic pillow. At the end, he becomes the new Death after accidentally killing New Death, therefore becoming the highest possible "employee" of the afterlife, and the first thing he does is turn Death's scythe into a pillow. Then he gives every other soul a pillow too.
- Call-Back:
- When Finn arrives in the realm of the dead, he uses the clapping signal Jake taught him in "James Baxter the Horse" in case they both ended up dead and needed to find each other in the afterlife.note
- Finn and Jake make contact with Peppermint Butler in the land of the living by spelling out B-U-T-T on his Ouija Board, which he interprets as a distress signal. B.U.T.T.note was previously used as a distress signal by the Hot Dog Knights in "The Limit".
- The Lich's plot of pretending to be a friend of New Death so as to manipulate and control the son of Life and Death into becoming a pawn of his plans of accessing all Death Worlds is pretty similar to his previous plan in "Crossover" where he pretended to be Farmworld Finn's friend to manipulate him into opening a pathway to all dimensions so as to extend his influence to them.
- When Finn and Jake infiltrate New Death's castle, they disguise themselves in the forms of Shoko and her tiger, respectively. Unfortunately, Jake gives himself away when he farts, and, unlike last time, Finn finds it so funny he laughs and gives himself away too.
- Can't Kill You, Still Need You: New Death is about to scythe Finn to oblivion when Finn proclaims to his face that nothing will stop him from reaching the 50th Dead World. New Death then lets Finn go unharmed, knowing that Finn would eventually reach the 50th Dead World, allowing him to get there simply by tracking him.
- Chekhov's Gun:
- When Tiffany leads Finn and Mr. Fox into New Death's castle, they pass by a gnarled tree covered in giggling orbs. It's later shown in a flashback near the end that this tree is what the old Death turned into when New Death killed him.
- They also pass by a Bottomless Pit that Tiffany warns to never go near (because it's bottomless). At the end, when Tiffany finally joins Finn and Jake in the fight against New Death, he's beaten up by the other Undertakers, who then throw Tiffany into the Bottomless Pit. Fortunately, he's saved at the last second by Joshua and Margaret.
- When they reunite, Margret hands Finn a bunch of weapons, including "some paper talismans for spiritual warfare". The talismans end up being powerful enough in stopping New Death in his tracks when Finn and Jake fight him at the end.
- Conscience Makes You Go Back: Jake finds himself at peace after death, having transcended all worldly desires, and is initially content with just a very brief reunion with Finn before trying to return to nirvana. It isn't until he sees Finn getting beaten senseless by the Undertakers that he rushes to his brother's defence and rediscovers his old adventuring self.
- Continuity Nod:
- Finn attempts to kick Death once again (though in this case he tries to kick the New Death) and predictably phases right through the latter's body again. Guess his brain is still stupid.
- When Finn and Jake make contact with Peppermint Butler, the latter spouts out "Kee Oth Rama Pancake" backwards.
- When it's revealed New Death is being manipulated by the Lich, a brief montage appears showing every time the Lich was defeated and the various forms he took throughout the series.
- When Mr. Fox tells Finn he can appear as any of his past forms in the afterlife, Finn quickly swaps through his various reincarnations as seen in "The Vault", including Shoko, the butterfly, the pink mass, and the Catalyst Comet. During his fight with Jake at the end, Finn also briefly turns into his Lumpy Space form.
- During said fight, Jake also briefly turns into his five-eyed, blue alien form.
- Tree Trunks is surrounded by her former husbands in the 30th Dead World, including Mr. Pig, Randy the rhinoceros, Danny the boar, and the unnamed grey alien husband. Only Wyatt is absent, because he was sent to the 1st Dead World.
- Life returns after originally appearing in the two shorts, "The Gift That Reaps Giving" and 'Frog Seasons: Winter'.
- Darker and Edgier: Compared to the rest of the Distant Lands episodes, where nearly everyone in the cast of the show is dead, and the entirety of the special takes place in the afterlife. Also, the Lich makes his final appearance.
- Darkest Hour: Finn travels across all the Dead Worlds searching for Jake, only to come up empty-handed. He encounters his adoptive parents instead, but after they're seemingly killed, he falls into utter despair and gives up... but his intense emotions are so strong they call in Jake from nirvana.
- Deader than Dead: If a soul is killed by Death, their essence is scattered into quarks (which New Death implies still doesn't entirely kill them).
- The Death of Death: A flashback shows that New Death was manipulated by the Lich into killing the old Death (his own father), who turned into a tree with strange giggling fruit. New Death himself is killed at the end when he's struck by the Kiss of Life, exploding into tumbleweeds. In both cases, whomever kills the previous Death is automatically turned into the new Death, although it's never made clear what happens to a Death's soul when they die.
- Death Seeker: Finn reveals that he was waiting for the day he died after losing Jake so he could see him again.
- Deadly Distant Finale: The special takes place after Finn and Jake (as well as many other supporting characters) have died, following their last adventure before reincarnating.
- Dead to Begin With: After freeing himself from the eyeball monsters, Finn believes he is trapped in a dungeon with some other people and promises to free them all. When he encounters a giant skeleton guardian as well as other skeletons, he realizes that he has already died and is in the afterlife.
- Desecrating the Dead: In exchange for granting them access to Life's realm, Peppermint Butler asks Finn and Jake for permission to use their bones in a potion. Finn reluctantly agrees but tells him he has no clue where they are.
- Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: New Death is furious to discover that, once he finally manages to reach the 50th Dead World, it's just a hilly golden field where enlightened people stand around in total contentment.New Death: I hardcore schemed my way into a hippie choir?!
Jake: Fifty's not just a place, it's a state of mind.
New Death: That's the dumbest—! That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. - Face Death with Dignity: Finn has absolutely no qualms with having died. He is actually ecstatic, because it means he can see Jake again.
- Fake-Out Opening: The episode starts off seemingly showing Finn and Jake on an adventure that took place sometime earlier in the series, complete with the original intro, but as things progress it becomes clear that something is very off until they encounter an open grave later revealed to be Jake's. It’s then shown that this was just an elderly Finn trapped in a Lotus-Eater Machine and that Jake died long ago, something which is very quickly followed by the reveal that Finn himself has recently died.
- Felony Misdemeanor: Choose Goose ended up toiling in eternal torment in the 1st (and worst) Dead World for the sin of... speaking in rhymes. Though given how "Wizard City" implies CG "turned dark" after drinking Coconteppi's ichor, he might be lying.
- Five-Second Foreshadowing: Just before the reveal of Farmworld!Lich, he can be seen off in the distance on a floating rock after New Death killed Death.
- The Flame of Life: A literal example. Peppermint Butler allows Finn and Jake to enter the realm of Life for as long as a certain candle burns. Unfortunately, the candle's already been used and is basically a stump already, so they only have a few minutes.
- Foreshadowing:
- The fifty flavored ice cream Finn and Jake are retrieving, said to be impossibly delicious, has a symbol on the lid of its tub that resembles what souls eventually turn into in the fiftieth Dead World.
- Mr. Fox re-introduces himself to Finn as a guide to the Dead Worlds for the recently deceased. By the end of the episode, he becomes the new Death, who helps guide souls into the Dead Worlds.
- Also, when he tells Finn he can look like any past version of himself he chooses, he demonstrates by briefly splitting his head open and exposing his skull. When he takes over as Death it comes with him becoming a skeleton permanently.
- When New Death is introduced, he mumbles something very quietly and quickly at his right hand, thanking it for being his "best friend in the entire world". It seems like he's just narcissistic, but it turns out at the end his right hand is the Lich, who had been manipulating him the entire time.
- Finn and Jake tell Life that New Death has taken over the afterlife with a "big idiot fist." In the final battle, it's revealed that the Lich possessed New Death by taking over his right hand.
- While ranting to his father, New Death rakes a circle in the sand. He would later do this with his scythe to destroy each Dead World.
- In the flashback after he kills his father, New Death exclaims that his mom is going going to kill him. He's eventually killed by a staff created by his mother, Life.
- In her realm it's shown that Life occasionally reincarnates two souls together as a "package deal". Finn and Jake end up reincarnating together, again.
- This episode also confirms that Shoko's tiger was Jake's previous incarnation, setting the precedent that Finn and Jake have been reincarnated together before.
- Foregone Conclusion: "Come Along with Me" all but stated Finn and Jake would reincarnate into Shermy and Beth, meaning it inevitable that Jake would reincarnate into the world of the living instead of staying on Level 50.
- Grand Finale: The special details Finn and Jake's final adventure, and serves as the finale for Distant Lands as well as Adventure Time as a whole.note
- Grave Robbing: In exchange for entry into Life's realm, Peppermint Butler asks Finn's permission to use his bones. For a "bone spell." Of course, Pep already took his bones.
- Groin Attack: Jake after Finn stops him from picking up the Kiss of Life, trying to keep him from taking the role as Death.Finn: Old man Finn was a bunny slayer!
Jake: You don't got the boing-loings!
(Jake swings his leg under Finn with an audible crack)
Finn: (Starts to grovel in pain) No...!
Jake: (Passes him with the Kiss of Life) Sorry Finn! - A Glitch in the Matrix: In the beginning of the special, Finn and Jake seem to be on an adventure way back during Season 1 - 2, when Finn had his golden, rusted sword and Ice King kidnapped princesses.
- The first indication that something is wrong is when Finn and Jake's fist bump makes a clanking sound, even though Finn has both of his arms intact.
- The second is when they come across a nest littered with the skeletons of Lemongrab, Me-Mow, and other characters who should definitely not be dead at this point.
- Finally, they find an unmarked grave, which Jake insists on being in, despite Finn's pleas. The grave suddenly reads "R.I.P. Jake", which is enough to snap Finn out of the illusion.
- Happily Adopted: At the end, Joshua and Margaret decide to make Tiffany their new son in the afterlife, which Tiffany is just as happy about.Tiffany: Now I'm their favourite!
- Hell: While many of the dead worlds are... weird, the First Dead World is the most conventionally like Hell, being a massive pit where the souls unfortunate enough to wind up there are trapped neck-deep in mud as they are tormented and generally inconvenienced by monsters. The parameters of damnation (or for any other Dead World, for that matter) is never really elaborated, though it's implied that Choose Goose is there for being annoying, Maja for her wicked actions, the gnome leader (from "Power Animal") for his attempted destruction of Ooo's surface world, Blargatha for trying to cheat Slime Princess out of the throne, and Wyatt for his needy and selfish personality.
- Hijacked by Ganon: It turns out New Death was under the Lich's thrall, and it was the Lich who influenced New Death into killing his father and destroying all the Dead Worlds.
- Hypocritical Humor: In the beginning Jake is lecturing Finn on the patience necessary to appreciate delayed gratification. He interrupts himself in the middle of it because he's grown tired of running through the long tunnel on their escape, so he just punches a hole in the wall to the outside.
- Humble Goal: Mr. Fox is working his way up the employee chain of the underworld so he can reach his ultimate goal of obtaining... a hypoallergenic pillow. At the end he finally gets one when he becomes the new New Death, and then gives every soul in the Dead Worlds their own pillows too (except Wyatt).Finn: What? That's... that's really all you want?
Mr. Fox: There are a lot of dust mites around here. - Ignored Epiphany: An amusing case of a character ignoring someone else's epiphany, but right after Finn accepts the idea of reincarnating without Jake, Jake decides at the last second to reincarnate with him anyway. Finn calls this out, but he is nonetheless excited to live life with his brother again.
- I Meant to Do That: When Finn intrudes on New Death's throne room, he angrily throws a can of soda at Tiffany for letting an intruder in. He misses and another Undertaker assures New Death that he'll get him next throw. New Death screams that he missed on purpose and angrily incinerates the Undertaker.
- I'm Crying, but I Don't Know Why: After saving Turtle Princess and LSP from the Ice King, Jake declares "You did it, Finn! Everyone's alive!" and Finn starts crying, to his own confusion. Later, it's revealed that the adventure was a dream, so it might have been Finn subconsciously realizing that Jake (and possibly everyone else in the dream) have died a long time ago.
- Impossibly Delicious Food: That fifty-flavour ice cream Finn and Jake snatch from the ice cream goons at the beginning is apparently so tasty, you need to sprinkle dirt in it to get it down to a level that won't blow your mind. It all turns out to be an illusion inside a Lotus-Eater Machine though.
- Innocently Insensitive: When Finn and Jake confront Life about New Death, they openly insult him and then joking wonder aloud if it's because his parents were also jerks, before Life can tell them he's her son.
- Interdimensional Travel Device: New Death's minions blow into a pitch whistle to travel between the Dead Worlds. Finn steals one to try and find Jake.
- Irony: During "Death in Bloom", Death tells Finn and Jake that he'll see them later, the obvious implications being that they'll return to the Land of the Dead and meet him again as dead souls. But by the time Finn dies and returns, Death has been killed and replaced.
- Klingon Promotion: Whomever kills Death becomes the new Death.
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: When Mr. Fox tells Finn he can take on any of his past appearances, he decides on looking like how he did in the later seasons of the main show, because "it's recognizable".
- Lotus-Eater Machine: The eyeball creatures in the 37th Dead World feed on their hosts by making them go through one. Finn imagines a previous adventure with Jake, and is freed from the illusion when he is forced to acknowledge that Jake has long since passed away.
- The Man Behind the Man: It turns out that the Lich had goaded New Death into killing his own father and take his place as ruler of the Dead Worlds, as a plot to turn even the afterlife into a hellhole.
- More Hero than Thou: When they realize someone has to kill New Death and replace him to prevent the Lich from winning, Finn and Jake fight each other to try and spare each other the fate of being trapped as the Grim Reaper for all eternity. Fortunately, Mr. Fox returns and accidentally ends up killing New Death/the Lich and becomes the new Death (which he finds isn't too bad), preventing them from having to make a choice.
- My God, What Have I Done?: When it's revealed just how New Death "inherited" his title, we see he briefly has this reaction when he realizes that he just killed his father.New Death: …What did I do? Mom's gonna kill me!
- Neutral No Longer: Life has long since opted out of involving herself with Death and their son, but once Finn and Jake inform her that New Death plans on ending reincarnation, she gets enraged enough by her purpose being taken away that she gives them the means to end him.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: New Death takes advantage of Finn's desire to reunite with Jake to goad the latter into making an entrance to the 50th Dead World, which New Death was unable to enter on his own.
- No Name Given: The son of Life and Death is only called "New Death" because he is Death's successor. What his name was before then is unknown.
- Noodle Incident: Peppermint Butler is the Princess of the Candy Kingdom, and judging by Finn's lack of reaction to him answering their calls for the Princess, he was crowned a long time ago. It is not stated what happened to Princess Bubblegum.
- Offing the Offspring: Subverted and justified. Upon learning that New Death plans to permanently destroy the reincarnation cycle, Life knows that her son has to die. And while she isn't the one to give the finishing blow, she is the one who gives Finn and Jake the means to do it. New Death even realizes this as he dies.New Death: Mom…?
- Once More, with Clarity:
- The title card simply reads "Adventure Time Presents Finn & Jake'', taking place on the hill in the intro, but dead, cracked, and under a dark-green sky. After The Reveal, the title card updates to read "Finn & Jake Are Dead." At the end of the episode, when Finn and Jake choose to reincarnate together, the title card updates again to read "Finn & Jake Are Together Again"; this time the hill is lush with grass and sits under a calm sunset.
- In the first flashback with Death and New Death (before he became the new Death), we see Death forcing him to tend to the zen garden, and then blocking a strike from the angered New Death. Near the end, the flashback is continued, showing Death hugging his son, then the Lich influencing New Death into murdering his father, which turned him into the new Death.
- Paper Talisman: Finn gets paper talismans along with other weapons in a Dead World where he meets his parents. They look like elongated sticky notes with phrases written in calligraphic English on them, but they're powerful enough to work on New Death.
- Patricide: New Death was goaded by the Lich into killing his own father, the old Death. He clearly regrets it though, even if mostly because he got chained to all of Death's responsibilities and duties for all eternity.
- Poor Communication Kills: Because Finn and Jake could only be in Life's realm for a few minutes, they are transported away right before she can tell them how to use the Kiss of Life or that killing Death will trap them into being Death.
- Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic: Notably averted when New Death tells Finn he's breaking the wheel of reincarnation. He momentarily stumbles on the word "reincarnation", and it's neither Played for Laughs, nor is any attention drawn to it.
- Reincarnation: This is Life's main job in her realm. Souls arrive for her to mold them into new bodies out of clay before sending them off to be reborn in those bodies in the mortal world.
- Residual Self-Image: People in the Dead Worlds look like whatever point in their life (or previous life) they want to. Finn starts out as elderly as when he died. Realizing he's in the Dead Worlds unconsciously and unknowingly turns him into his teenage self, but with his later tattoo of Jake. When Mr. Fox explains the form changing, Finn goes through previously-established forms (himself as a baby, his female past life Shoko, a pink blob, a butterfly, and a comet) before settling on being a teenager again. Later, he and Jake use their past life forms as a disguise, but can't hold them long enough.
- The Reveal: Finn was not trapped in a dungeon—he died and arrived in the 37th Dead World.
- Revive Kills Zombie: Death can only be harmed (and killed) by the Kiss of Life (which is more of a bite). The old Death was killed when he was bitten by his and Life's son, while New Death is killed by a snake-staff created by Life herself.
- Shut Up, Hannibal!: When the Lich tries to tempt Mr. Fox/new New Death by promising to be his "strong right hand," Jake stomps on him and throws him into the void before he can finish.Jake: GET OUTTA HERE!
- Sinister Surveillance: The pitch whistle that New Death's minions use to travel between Dead Worlds also has an eye on it that he can spy through anytime he wants. He's also got a domelike room that contains a giant scrying ball embedded in the center and a wall of eye shaped monitors showing live feeds of every Dead World except the Fiftieth.
- Sweet and Sour Grapes:
- Margret and Joshua tell Finn that the only way to reach the 50th Dead World is to not want to reach it, specifically by reaching spiritual enlightenment and moving past all material desires.
- At the end, Finn learns to let Jake go spend his afterlife in the Fiftieth Dead World while he reincarnates as much as he needs to earn his place there himself. Jake instead decides to give up staying in the 50DW to reincarnate with Finn.
- Talk to the Fist: After New Death dies, the Lich tries to ingratiate himself with Mr. Fox, only for Jake to shut him up mid-sentence by stomping on him and flinging him into the void.
- Teenage Wasteland: New Death's age is vague, but his characterization is like an angsty teen lashing out at is father and everything he represented. He has minions that look about teenage age that mostly hang out and party while drinking soda if they're not enforcing his tyrannical rule in the Dead Worlds.
- Throw the Dog a Bone: After being a lowly Butt-Monkey who's constantly mistreated in both in life and after death, Mr. Fox finally ends up in the big chair when he kills New Death, becoming the ruler of the afterlife, and getting that hypoallergenic pillow he wanted.
- Tomato Surprise: The episode is marketed as an adventure Finn and Jake had when they were young, but in actuality takes place well after both of them have died.
- Transflormation: When he's killed by New Death, Death transforms into a tree that bears fruit with faces on them, that giggle when touched.
- Twinkle in the Sky: The Lich's final fate. Jake stomps on the hand and then hurls it into the black abyss, the Lich letting out a Big "NO!" as he disappears into a twinkle.
- The Unreveal: It is made purposefully ambiguous how Finn and Jake died, or what their lives were like before their deaths. The only thing known is that Finn lived long enough to grow old and apparently never stopped adventuring, while Jake did a long time before him. When asked how he died, Finn replies "Who gives a donk?". When Finn finds Mr. Fox, he unconsciously reverts to his 17-year-old self, but bears the Jake tattoo he wears in "Obsidian" as a child, which implies that Jake might have died not too long after "Come Along With Me." It can be inferred at least that both their bodies had been recovered by the living and likely given proper funerals, as Peppermint Butler knew where to find them and take their bones.
- Wham Line: After Finn halts New Death and commands that he fix everything, he states that he "didn't even want this stupid job." He reveals that a voice goaded into killing Death, giving him his role and powers, and warns Finn and Jake that that same thing will happen if they kill him. He then starts laughing, and his laugh slowly turns into a very distinct laugh. His true identity is confirmed as he addresses the heroes.New Death: Burn. Heroes of Ooo. It's only a matter of time.
Finn: I know that voice...
(Finn removes New Death's glove, revealing the right hand of the Lich)
The Lich: Finally dead, aren't you child? - Wham Shot:
- The episode starts in what looks like a flashback to Finn and Jake's earlier adventures. It suddenly takes a swerve when they come across a grave—Jake's grave, that is.
Jake: It's okay. This is where I'm supposed to be. [...] Bye, Finn.- The title card of the episode simply stated "Adventure Time Presents Finn & Jake", over what looks like the hill they stand on in the intro, only dead, cracked, and under a dark-green sky. After Finn navigates the dungeon and approaches its skeleton guardian, he realizes where he is, and the title card updates:FINN & JAKE ARE DEAD
- Finn removes New Death's glove, revealing Farmworld!Lich's right hand.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: As the episode largely is confined to the afterlife via the Dead Worlds, several characters don't appear presumably due to being alive still. While some of these are explained via prior episodes or in this episode like Neptr or Peppermint Butler, others like Princess Bubblegum, Marceline, and Simon go unexplained.
- Bubblegum in particular stands out, as Peppermint Butler is acting as the new Princess of the Candy Kingdom, but he doesn't mention what happened to Bonnibel. Bonnie and Marceline not being present can be explained due to their being functionally immortal unless outright killed and vowing to spend eternity together, supported by how there's no indication a new Candy Elemental is around, unlike X and O, the new Fire and Slime Elementals respectively, whose existence confirms Phoebe and Slime Princess did eventually die.
- Simon is an egregious case, as he was left a normal human after Betty sacrificed herself and he was freed from the Crown, in turn giving him a normal human lifespan, and he should have either died at some point, or found a way to keep living.
- World-Healing Wave: Downplayed; once Fox becomes the new New Death, all the Dead Worlds destroyed by old New Death are shown being restored.
- You Are Worth Hell: Inverted. At the end, Jake decides that being with Finn together in the next life is worth not getting into nirvana.
- You Kill It, You Bought It: Death's position is taken by whomever kills the previous Death, like it or not. At the end, Finn and Jake fight each other to be the one to have to take on this burden because they don't want each other to be stuck reaping souls for eternity.New Death: I didn't realize that when I took out Dad, I'd be chained to all his stuff. So how about it? You ready to get chained to my stuff?
- Finn: I wonder what life's gonna turn me into this time? (Jake grabs his arm) Jake!? What are you doing!? I just had my donking epiphany!
Jake: I know. I'm just coming back for fun. Because it's great being alive with you!
Finn: (chuckles) Good reason. (The two have one last fist bump)
FINN & JAKE ARE TOGETHER AGAIN
