King's engagement with Bailey will set up a chain reaction of Relationship Upgrades that will play a part in Keene's quest to fulfill his father/owner's work.
When King and Bailey go through with their marriage, other pet couples will wonder about doing the same. This will result in several similar engagements, including most of the current canon couples, particularly Grape+Maxwell and Peanut+Tarot.

This may have far-reaching implications, particularly regarding the original work of Henry Milton, which Keene has been working on for at least the past year. The pet marriage issue may accelerate this "human-animal reconciliation". With Keene's "deal" with Pete, this may also have a connection to the ultimate resolution of the Cosmic Game.

Spo and Squeak are brother and sister.
Spo mentioned that he has a huge family; so huge, his next younger brother is named "Spp".

It's possible that Squeak, Joey's mouse girlfriend, is actually named "Squ", and is actually Spo's little sister.

Zach, the Opener of Ways, will eventually have enough followers to become a player in The Game.
If thiscomic is any indication, having followers increases the amount of mana a person has, and who has more followers than the Opener of Ways?
  • While perhaps he won't be a player, he proabaly will have a major part in the game. Considering Pete called him his prophet...
    • This was ultimately jossed. Zach played no effective role in the conclusion of the Game.

The latest arc, Heaven's Not Enough, may or may not end with a Rage Against the Heavens.
Considering all the trouble Bahamut allowed his subordinates (i.e. Pete, Kitsune and the Spirit Dragon) to cause King and his friends (i.e. Fox and Bailey) despite his atonement for his crimes, he may get a chance to get them back for it all one way or another.

The Spirit Dragon and Pete have Belligerent Sexual Tension.
They are not so different, where they still intentionally screwed over their avatars, or at least tried to in some cases. What better way to catch your Love Interests eye than to be a dick to each other?
  • Jossed; they are related - older sister and younger brother to be precise.

Great Kitsune is an Ascended Mortal.
It would be why he's helping King and his mortal friends out. And anyways, most of the Kitsune legends portray them as essentially being mortals, with long lifespans and magic, until they reach the age of 1,000 and/or gain nine tails, at which point they become celestial beings and ascend to heaven. GK may have become a demigod that way, or at least inspired the myths. Perhaps he was an avatar and his "player" was a jerk too.

Bino is the "Mortal Form" that Pete was forced to take at the end of the game.
In this comic, Miles refers to Bino as a "god locked in a mortal shell." Odd choice of words, considering Pete and Dragon had both been forced to take mortal form when the Game ended recently. And Bino is way, way too mean to be Dragon.

Pete is really Discord in disguise.
Let's see here: Reality warping powers? Check. Utilize said powers by snapping? Check. Enjoys toying with mortals? Check. Takes the form of a mythological creature? Check. Has an unspecified relation with another Physical God? Check.

And for the motive... It's Discord. There is no motive other than "I was bored".

The relationship between Grape and Maxwell will not last.
It's pretty clear they care for each other, and have a deep connection. But Grape is also attracted to larger "hunk" males of big cat species (like Pridelands actors and Jata), and Maxwell has some jealousy and self-confidence issues with regard to Grape. This could be a recipe that might lead to a misunderstanding that could damage or destroy their relationship.

Sasha's bad behavior is a result of some sort of manipulation.
It's a popular theory that Sasha's bad behavior after Keene's car incident is not normal behavior for Sasha. There are alot of theories about this:

  • Mind control
  • Hypnosis Confirmed
  • Obedience training gone horribly wrong
  • Possession

Bino will become a tremendous Jerkass Woobie somewhere down the line.
Even more so than usual. At some point, Duchess will break up with him and he'll find out that nearly everyone hates him when he tries to seek out comfort. He'll be so upset and lonely that he'll actually pull off a Heel–Face Turn and become a Jerk with a Heart of Gold and try to be The Atoner. Possibly, if Peanut gives him a little push and teaches him to be nicer.

Olive, Ace and Rook are also the names of the 3 abused pets who kidnapped and abandoned Joel
On some level, King feels some level of pity towards them despite the betrayal so he's naming his puppies after them as a way to "start a new beginning" with Olive, Ace and Rook.

Poom is a demigod

And Tiger is his avatar.

Why Tiger wants to kill the Grinch so badly

He was traumatized by it as a puppy.

Breel was run over by a train

When Duke was asking him if various things could hurt him (as an angel) he hesitated to answer one specific question. And he inquired about the transcontinental railroad before his resurrection.

Stewart is behind Marion's transformation

Stewart used the cursed gold coin to transform Marion to drum up support for the ECP project which would benefit him as well.
  • Seemingly Confirmed as of the latest comic.
  • Though it turns out Stewart's plan was to bankrupt the ECP by inundating it with clients.

Pete's plan to use Peanut as an avatar never would've worked because of his crush on Grape

Pete thought he had the perfect avatar picked in Peanut. His player class was to be "dream sunderer", which would require him to remain a Chaste Hero to power up quicker. Dragon seemingly thwarted that by sending her avatar, Tarot, to become his girlfriend. This led to Pete recruiting King, and later Bailey, using different player classes.

Say Dragon didn't get to do that, and Pete chose Peanut as his avatar. There's still one big problem: Peanut's crush on Grape, with or without their later "mushiness", would have definitely thwarted Pete's need for Peanut to be a Chaste Hero.

The Celestials' cosmic game Universes & Unrealities was actually the ultimate defense against emergency supernatural calamities, like the current (2020~2021) demons' invasion on Earth.

Just think about it. Heaven and Heck (that's its name here) have been in war for thousands of years. So in the possible scenario that the denizens of Heck might get unleashed on Earth, the Demigods would be prepared against them with a champion or group of champions with enough powers to battle against them, earn victory and seal them again forever or at least for a couple thousand years. At first it was easy to get the players to follow the game, given that back in the ancient times everybody worshipped any god and back then, the idea of becoming a god's champion was the greatest reward ever, so that brought us Satau and Ptah as examples, a dog and a cat from 5000 BC times that were in a battle competition to earn Spirit Dragon's favor to become her personal avatar. But with the passing of time, the change of mind of mortals towards religions and myths brought boredom to the Celestials, enough to just play the game for the fun and not the apocalyptic implications. Later, with the events from the end of Heaven's Not Enough arc, the game stopped, Pete and Dragon's recent crimes of abussive godly behaviour against their avatars earned them a sentence of living a life as powerless mortals, the current avatars lost their powers and there were no chosen champions, meaning that the Earth is totally defenceless against the current demon invasion. We're still to see how Kitsune's last minute chosen ones, Tarot, Keene, Marion, Lois, Todd and whoever joins later will help in stopping this.

The Forgotten is the Bad Place half of a Celestial!!

Eudoant reveals near the end of HECKRAISER part 2 that the demonic inhabitants of the Bad Place are the negative aspects of those who go to Heaven and have powers related to such. This could be a hint to what the mysterious and powerful Forgotten actually is; the negative side of one, or maybe more, of the Celestials like Pete, Spirit Dragon and Cerberus.

This is because mortals need to be rid of their negative parts in order to get into Heaven, so perhaps the Celestials wouldn't be any different. It would go a long way to explaining the vast power the Forgotten wields that needs a Celestial's mana supply to push back and would add a deeper layer to its title, as it would be the forgotten dark aspects of the Celestials. After all, the Forgotten does seem to be a demon itself, just one on a higher level of might compared to others.
