What makes a death Heroic or Just

Anonymous

“ One may be killed by opposing a corrupt adversary and die for a just cause, as through martyrdom, for instance. This would be heroic.
Or one may be subject to corruption, and slain by a hero.This would be just. ”

Kind of a dumb question. Ok, say you're a god tier and you were trying to coax a cat out of a tree. And while you were doing that, a truck slammed into you and you died. Would that count as a heroic death? Or does the death have to be caused because of the good thing you were doing?

I mean, maybe its just me, but I don’t really see coaxing a cat out of a tree to be a heroic action, more of just a nice thing to do. It’s Subjective.

do you happen to remember any mysteries that we never get the answer to? the only one I can think of is the Genesis Frog that appears to Jade when she's a kid and we never got the answer as to who sent it. (ps: I hope youre having a good day so far, thank u for all that u do <3)

There’s that. The mystery of where Liv Tyler’s weapons came from, we saw Jake get them out of the Lotus Pod but we didn’t see who put them in there. And as such the timeline of the Zillywho is incomplete.

The Zilly weapons were also kinda built up to be kinda super important and then most of them didn’t even get used once (the hammer, pistols and katana I think being the only ones). But that’s not so much a mystery as it is a dropped plot thread.

So if your death is neither Heroic not Just, the game just gives you another chance?

Yep, it’s conditional immortality, as long as you don’t die heroically or justly you just come back

He sure does

When John was killed by Jack, why did he come back to life

John didn’t even have a chance to move before Jack killed him so the death was neither Heroic nor Just.

Do you have any theories about the fate of Vriska/LE/The Army?

I believe that they all died or are stuck in some type of pocket-dimension or whatever inside the Black Hole, but there are definitely other theories out there.

How exactly did Jade's grandpa retrieve her dreamself? Is it something unique to him/them or could anyone do it in theory? Would it be possible for trolls?

There are teleporters to Derse and Prospit within the Frog Temple, and since he was living on the island that hosted the Temple he could do to and from the medium as he pleased. So anyone could do it with access to the Temple.

Has anyone died a Heroic death?

Jake, Dave and Rose did in GAME OVER and Post-Retcon Roxy did when she saved Rose. Possibly Post-retcon John as well but no judgement was ever shown.
