#wasn't very...satisfied with the ending..

being immediately followed up with this

That's a toughie!

I've always been under the impression that he gets kidnapped by the entity controlling Eram, because at first I only left the console room after I beat them and they fled.

But I soon realized that Ramb disappears way before Eram is defeated! One time I died to Eram and decided to leave the room before I finished the fight, and saw that Ramb was already gone. Since then I had no idea what to make of his disappearance...

This post and reblog explain it best, but essentially; Ramb disappears right as you enter the final dungeon. But everything in the S-rank room (dust bunny dialogue about ramb ect) only changes once Eram is defeated.

I wanna believe it's just coding stuff, I've had my hand at it and it gets messy fast, so I personally, generally, don't view it as something to analyze- but if it is intentional, it's INCREDIBLY interesting how the dust bunny comments on something happening to Ramb only way after he disappears-

And I've never thought about 8bit Kris being the one to cause rambs disappearance! It feels simultaneously anticlimactic and super fitting to me- like it's fitting BECAUSE it's so unceremonious. he really was used up. After everything he did, he ended up being nothing. And his fate isn't even shown to us, because why should we care?

As for what i think happened... Like I said in other posts I wrote about him, I'm not trying to answer the questions that ramb's story brings up- I can never come up with anything about what's going on with him that makes enough sense to me!

I like the thought that 8bit Kris was the one to kill him and "use him up", and I like the thought that whoever is behind Eram was the one who took him, but since he disappears way before 8bit Kris leaves and eram flees, idk what to think anymore!! Is that even something we should analyze??

Coding is very complicated and the loopholes it creates in stories are rarely intentional- but at the same time, the differences in when ramb disappears and when the dust bunny comments on something happening to him is viewable in game! You can leave and see ramb gone and the dust bunny doesn't say anything UNTIL Eram is defeated!! IDK CONFUSED MONKEY STARING AT COMPUTER.JPG!!!!!!

that magical window where you finish a new piece of media, having watched/read it all by yourself with no fandom contact whatsoever, and you are just so happy about it, and full of interesting theories and takeaways, and just in love with it as a gorgeous piece of art.

because I swear to god as soon as you join the fandom for anything, you're bombarded with how you're supposed to view characters and their arcs, how you're supposed to morally and ethically judge the plot and the ways it apparently failed to present the right message, and if you don't you'll either be shunned for not sharing the popular headcanons or you'll be harassed for not criticizing the source material enough.
