Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The season 2 finale "Black Fire Upon Us" has a big one: Nathan saving Ofdensen from the Masked Assassin and saying "That's my bread and butter you're fucking with."
    • The entire last 5-10 minutes of the episode.
  • In the premier of season 3, Toki and Pickles mourning Ofdensen. Toki keeps a picture of him at all times, and Pickles wears a locket around his neck with a photo in it.
  • In the season 3 finale "Doublebookedklok", Dethklok becomes despondent and generally messed up when Ofdensen starts putting off time with them in order to organize an upcoming concert in Israel; in particular, Toki is constantly punching the other guys. Eventually the band runs away right in the middle of a tense international situation between Israel and Syria (that they caused), feeling that their manager "finally hates them" and doesn't care about them anymore. Ofdensen takes it upon himself to find them. When he finally catches up with them:

Charles: "I'm sorry I've been so busy, and I see what that's done to all of you. I want you to know you're all very important...to me. And Toki. You don't need to hit people to get their attention. Everybody likes you, thinks you're really cool. ...I think you're really cool."

    • Toki then jumps up and hugs Charles, who awkwardly comforts him as he breaks down in tears.
    • The ending, in which Dethklok unites the Middle East. No, seriously.
      • It starts with tensions extremely high, with war very likely to break out at any moment. One soldier sees something move out of the corner of his eye and turns and takes aim. It's a little girl from the other side...wearing a Dethklok shirt. The soldier lowers his weapon and you can see he also has on a Dethklok shirt, under his fatigues.
        • This troper counts himself as fairly hardened...but every time I see that scene, I tear up. It's also an extremely effective way to show how much Dethklok really does affect the world that they are in.
  • Pretty much all of Toki's songs are ridiculously adorable, but the one he sings for his cat, along with the lengths he goes to for its funeral, is very sweet.
  • At the end of "Dethdad", Toki carries his dying father up a steep hill to lay him to rest at the house he was born in (which was his last request) and tells him that he forgives him for all the abuse he put him through.
  • Toki becoming attached to his guitar tutor in "Dethlessons" and developing a father-and-son bond with him. Right before the elderly man dies in his arms at the end of the episode, he tells Toki "I love ya, boy. I..love..ye..." His grave is then shown, which has a large guitar-shaped tombstone.
  • Doctor Rockso snapping Toki out of his funk in "Dethzazz". What makes it even more sweet is how it's portrayed - Toki is stuck in a catatonic state where he sees himself as a child again and is being forced to stay in "the punishment hole", a well-like pit that his parents had built. The only thing he had to comfort himself with was a straw doll shaped suspiciously like Doctor Rockso. He imagines a giant spider with his father's face coming towards him...when the doll gets up and banishes the spider with magic powers.

Rockso doll: It's me, your old pal, Doctor Rockso! I could never leave you alone. We're best friends; we're best friends forever...
