*** [[IronicJuxtaposition Funny enough, Heathcliff]] at the end of all of Canto 6, could be said that he's starting to gain that resolve, of finding a way to [[spoiler: bringing back Cathy from her state of non-existence and if that meant needing to leave limbus company, he likely would. Well, he's the first of the sinner's to change the word on his weapon, even decapitzing it.]]

** On that topic, the only time Cathy is mentioned by name in a Uptie Story is N corp Heathcliff, which is narratored by him. But Cathy is mentioned, not in name, but a few times in Queecliff's uptie story. This could be just an result of the fact that Queecliff realised before Canto 6, or it could imply that Carmen ''also'' remembers Cathy, since no other Uptie stories mention Heathcliff having a lover, regardless of narrator.

** A common theory is that more one changes in corrosion means the Abnormality has to take over more of the person. So, for Don, it means that she is very close to the Abnormality itself, which makes the line between her and the Abnormality extremely blurred during corrosion.

* The E.G.O. Corrosion animations for Electric Screaming are...freakishly disparate compared to the other fellow Season 4 Battle Pass E.G.O. Don Quixote's has the attributes of the Dreaming Electric Sheep molded to fit her human body shape, while Meursault's skips all that and turns him into a pure, carbon copy of the Abnormality itself. Given that the disparity is also noticable in Meursault's Awakening animation being oddly distressing for him compared to Don Quixote, who's much more jolly about it, what could this mean?

* In Canto VI, it's revealed that Heathcliff had a past with the Dead Rabbits syndicate, with Mirror Heathcliff initially taking the place of the Dead Rabbits' boss, and his Distortion takes the form of an enormous, ragged wolf. In hindsight, Heathcliff's first 000 Identity and E.G.O. on release being an R. Corp Rabbit Soldier and the Alleyway Watchdog's Telepole respectively was quite the {{Foreshadowing}}.

* Of the Status Effects that are associated with each Sin, only two are self applied, those being Poise, which is commonly associated with Pride, and Charge, which is commonly associated with Envy. Well, Pride is about being better then other people to the point of looking down on them, and Envy is about being jealous of what others have that you do not. Both are more about how one perceives themself rather then an action, so naturally, their status effects being applied to oneself to buff then to debuff another makes a lot of sense.

* Heathcliff is very often compared to a wolf or caine- being a destructive, unyielding force. But there's also another part of this symbolism here; Wolves are actually known to be very compassionate animals, especially towards members of their pack they trust. They can spend weeks mourning the loss of a loved one, and in fact have a [[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/R7lSqFVn0D8 specific howl]] when this happens. This also describes Heathcliff, who while coming off as a brute originally, is shown to care quite a lot about the sinners he's been traveling with.

* A recurring trend throughout the game is that, if you are to fight a boss using a sinner ID mirroring the boss you're fighting, the boss will react accordingly and it'll trigger a status effect (this happens for Ahab vs. The Pequod Captain Ishmael, as well as Kromer's reaction to The One Who Shall Grip Sinclair). Bringing Edgar Family Chief Butler Ryōshū to fight against Nelly triggers a similar event, with Butler Ryōshū being the one to comment on her counterpart, but Nelly doesn't make any comments nor does the encounter inflict any status effects on her. Why? Because Nelly's already aware of the Mirror Worlds! Of course she wouldn't be surprised at this point; she's already seen different versions of herself as well as their fates.

fixed the incorrect intevollo (they didn't mention that in 3.5 but did in 5.5) and added one example.


* Thanks to both Leviathan and Intervallo 3.5, it's confirmed that Distortions can permanently turn into Abnormalities. There are many, MANY horrific implications of this.

* The confirmation that Carmen is one of the narrators in the uptie stories, thanks to Dawn Fixer Sinclair, and seems to exist in every mirror world, becomes HarsherInHindsight and ''really awkward'' for Heathcliff's uptie stories. There's also the fact that Heathcliff has one of the higher amount of uptie stories that are narrated by him, which... now makes a lot more sense.

** The warning was retroactively added to the {{Final Boss}}es and {{Climax Boss}}es from Canto III onwards, which is self-explanatory.



* Mirror Heathcliff is an Identity being imposed onto someone. Not only was the brutal beatdown Heathcliff gave him ultimately given to the body of someone who was likely abducted off the streets and forced into being his vessel in this world, but it also means it's entirely possible he's ''still out there'' in his own Mirror World. And not only that, all it would take to effectively resurrect him is for someone to force that identity on another poor sod.

This ultimately becomes a plot point in the third part of the Canto, where Linton indeed sacrifices himself and uses his body as the catalyst to re-summon Mirror Heathcliff as the Erlking.

* There's some brilliant foreshadowing in Hell's Kitchen. The one sinner who ends up getting the head chicken stuck on them is Heathcliff, and as a result, learns what the chickens are looking for. His title while having this chicken is "Distorted Thing?". Well, who was the first sinner to distort? That's right, it's Heathcliff.

** Canto VI, The Heartbreaking: Heathcliff leaving the apparent comfort of Wuthering Heights was not due to the constant abuse of its other residents, but due to the ''heartbreak'' caused by a horrible case of PoorCommunicationKills betweem himself and Catherine. Similarly, both of the Heathcliffs that participate in the story are, throughout the narrative of the Canto, driven by ''even further heartbreak'' from Cathy's death, Mirror!Heathcliff in particular taking it far enough to try and take KillingYourAlternateSelf to a ''multiversal scale''.
