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.
It's possible that Squeak, Joey's mouse girlfriend, is actually named "Squ", and is actually Spo's little sister.
- Probably not, seeing how when they first meet in comic Spo starts hitting on her.
- 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.
- Somewhat confirmed considering that King himself put an end to the Cosmic Chess Game and stripped both Pete and the Spirit Dragon from power.
- Jossed; they are related - older sister and younger brother to be precise.
- Jossed: Turns out both Pete and Dragon got incarnated as a pair of fox cubs named Draig & Craig
And for the motive... It's Discord. There is no motive other than "I was bored".
- Mind control
- Hypnosis Confirmed
- Obedience training gone horribly wrong
- Possession
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.
