** {{spoiler|It is more than possible that the Spiral Nemesis is a Class X-5 or even a Class Z outcome, due to the fact that the supposed "Black Holes" (which are likely just used as a term of convenience) cannot be stopped with the use of Spiral Power or anything that the Anti-Spirals possess. This is no ordinary phenomenon, consider that Spiral Power can totally warp reality, create mechas larger than the universe, transcend dimensions and time, and travel and transport any number of people across infinite possibilities and alternate realities. This means that the Spiral Nemesis more than likely devours not only all aspects of their reality, but all alternate possibilities and all outcomes in the multiverse, it would truly be a hopeless outcome and everything would be gone with no stated or implied chance of return.}}
