I've seen it be said and in fan-art everywhere, but where has Karkat ever actually dual wielded sickles? It seems pretty pervasive as far as fanon goes.

Massive lacerations by a large weapon/energy blast somewhere below the face, my point is those don't HAVE to be Claw-marks or even wounds at all

Maybe he went rolling in Feferi's blood and that's why Karkat shouldn't have turned his back on the body.

I was under the impression that Gamzee's wounds were self-inflicted; something that happened during his [Hero Mode/ICP/ slime pie withdrawal]-induced descent into madness.

I guess it COULD have been Nepeta, though...

It's really just an Occam's razor situation. The only weapon that we know for a fact could inflict that exact wound is Nepeta's. Any other option falls under either A) something we haven't seen yet and therefore may or may not exist or B) a more convoluted and/or specious explanation with little to no basis in the events of the narrative thus far.

While it is possible that something other than Nepeta slashed his face like that, it is way less likely.

This is my main guess, truth told.
Like, if Gamzee is gonna be able to Kill anyone in this situation, it's probably not going to be in a straight confrontation , I think, so he'd stealth kill them and not get hurt. But going crazy and hurting himself sounds about right to me.

I just rewatched, and at no point did Karkat seem to have two sickles.

I'm pretty curious where the idea came from.

HUH I would have sworn that had been in there.

If he were gonna stealth in, he wouldn't have announced it to the team leader in advance.

He's a bard. A performer. A showman. He'll want the spotlight as he does it.
