see, the way I see it, this whole thing is indirectly setting up the next step in Equius' character development, where he finally decides to stop giving a damn about the Hemospectrum and outright attacks one of the higher caste trolls to defend Karkat or Nepeta or someone. His whole character arc has been moving from "racist with a sub fetish" to actually realizing there's more to someone than what color they bleed, and a scene where he outright confronts this is the next logical step.

Before we get all freaked out about Gamzee going joker, do we have any evidence that he can be a credible threat? like, maybe the slime supressed some psychic powers, which would be annoying, but is there anything to prove he is skilled/powerful enough as a slacker/stoner suddenly become dangerously competent to actually kill the remaining trolls who are?

An evil bitch with luck stealing powers and psychic manipulation powers

a science wizard
Karkat

He somehow made it through the game despite being entirely incompetent as far as we know. He probably even made it to the top of his echeladder since Aradia said they all did. If we actually gave him a brain to work with he might actually have the guile to do something absolutely miraculous.

Of course this is an assumption, the real answer is: No. We have hints he already took care of catgirl, but otherwise no.

EDIT: Also I don't know how worried we are of him killing any of the God Tiers, but everyone else seems fair game. And that is worrysome.

All of them are at the top of the Echeladders. Aradia and Vriska are untouchable due to Godtier-dom. Karkat lives enough to make up a plan with John, so he's got plot armor. Eridan has his wand of science so I guess there isn't much anyone can do to harm him right now. I'm gonna go that Terezi is too important to die right now. That leaves Nepeta and Equius.

Of course, anything could happen. Instead of dying, Karkat just get some serious wounds. Eridan is backstabbed. Gamzee just rolls out, cuts himself and dies. Etc.

Where?
edit: All we have is evidence that somebody or something fucked him up

The slashes on his face, only one character uses a weapon that would make that kind of wound. And if he is still alive after getting it we can imagine the person who delivered it is not.

But Eridan is only untouchable because the two folks who tried to kill him bum rushed him, which I can tell you just from real life bum rushing someone with an accurate ranged weapon when you have a close range weapon is a bad idea. If Gamzee can sneak up on him, or even get close enough because Eridan doesn't know he has broken from reality yet he could be meat.

And I hope Terezei is beyond killing, but I'm not sure yet.

I'd say is that thje best hope is all the psycho trolls (Vriska, Eridan, Gamzee) running into each other and sort of thinning the crazy herd. Vriska would most definitely rise as the winner, but at least she's a bit more predictable.

I'm kind of hoping that this is the last of the deaths for now, but it seems that is a bit too optimistic. Kanaya and Tavros had stuff going for them, but it is the end. I at least hope Equius and Nepeta can get fleshed out more.

Karkat wields two sickles. Double slash to the face?

Premmy · 01-25-2011, 09:13 PM

or, you know, just blood spatters?

Flarecobra · 01-25-2011, 09:18 PM

How would you get his own blood on his face like that?
