[[WMG: Glitcher [[KilledOffForReal is not coming back]].]]
HeroicSacrifice plus ReallyDeadMontage plus [[DeaderThanDead his code itself getting dispersed]], completely unlike any death we've encountered prior? Turning that into yet another DeathIsCheap retraction would turn the entire story into a complete farce. The contestants will have to learn to cope with true death this time.
(WordOfGod has said that the story is approaching a close, which reinforces this: there will probably not be time to resurrect him, and he will probably not be important for the remaining challenges.)

Read [[http://tgchan.org/kusaba/questdis/res/76582.html#78437 this.]] Polokoa's CAI had another CAI growing inside it that had to be periodically wiped out. Sounds familiar, no? The "cure" could very well be the CAI's instant win button described in some of the logs. According to Polokoa, the CAI started operating on itself, finding a way to extract the younger CAI from itself and implant it into her. This could be where the Corruptor's from; perhaps he was created by the CAI itself as part of the extraction plan.
Also, assuming [[http://tgchan.org/kusaba/quest/res/503053.html#504561 Shopkeep's appearance]] wasn't a joke, there's not really any other way to explain it unless we [[OpeningTheCanOfClones open the can of clones]].
