You can tell from the lack of emotion in Cecil’s voice that he has had that same conversation with other Donalds several times.

Yes, it reminds of Westworld, with Bernard. Except when Bernard regained his memories, he refused to be Robert's assistant again. Cool stuff. kzbin.info/www/bejne/epjcfHWFYpuEqsU

The fact that he is just a human, back then he doesn't know about being a robot and didn't use his robot power, and still sacrifice himself is a sign that he's more heroic than some "heroes". I'm talking about hero who just in for anything else but helping people.

Cecil's a complicated man; he's turned his assistant into essentially a cyborg zombie that's only 2% of the original man he was; yet on the other hand, he could get an endless supply of assistants with the same drive and competence as Donald, but will spend limitless resources ensuring that every time he dies in the line of duty, he can live again. There's no practical reason NOT to bury him and move on, but Cecil sees an additional factor: Donald's a damned hero, and he deserves to live again.

[@fork4207]

I really like Cecil character in this show he’s ruthless but also human.

[@AzureSkyCiel]

I think the funny thing is, Cecil's ruthlessness is BECAUSE he's so human. He's cold and calculating because he's also very passionate and emotional, his choices are made out of fear and desperation to protect as many and as much as he can and it does eat at him. But in some ways his choices also show just how idealistic he ultimately is, deep down. Bulletproof's assessment of the Guardians wasn't inaccurate, but Cecil still chooses to believe in them even though he's honestly got the resources and even an army of reanimen that could theoretically do a better job and follow his orders.

[@blackdemonknight]

Donald shows his justifiably upset reaction telling Cecil that Cecil is a jerk...Only for Cecil to show that Donald has been injured to the point of no return before but chooses to be rebuilt and wiped clean to fight a good fight for the sake of others. Judging from Cecil's actions, this same dance has happened many times with even Cecil getting slightly worried (but at the same time, really impressed) at Donald's sheer integrity and willpower to look at the Eldrich horrors straight in the eye and nervously say "If you want to hurt the people under my protection, you will have to square up to me."

[@Turboy65]

Donald has given his life for his agency at least 39 times. And when made fully aware of everything that has happened, he chooses to stay in the game. He is as much a hero as ANYBODY with superpowers and a costume. Maybe more so.

It wasn't for the organization, but to help save others. Every time he died, he was sacrificing his own to save a life.

[@danielhaire6677]

I disagree with @turboy65 and @zeushernandez9639 on parts of this comment chain. Donald didn't give his life for his agency. He gave his life protecting people, some within the agency others without. And in doing so, he proved that he hadn't lost his humanity, even though he had less human biology left each time. He proved that despite the changes, his humanity was still as strong and essentially unchanged. So, one thing I will agree with is that Donald is one hell of a Hero. Drop him into the MCU, and he would make one hell of an Agent of SHIELD.

[@Mad3bunny]

At least 39 people are still able to live out their lives today, thanks to Donold. 39 families and loved ones spared the pain of losing someone. If that's not a hero, I don't know what is.

[@reigoemon2229]

When you first meet Donald, you expect him to be wimpy and cowardly. Except he isnt that. Even in early episodes, Donald doesn't run away. When the Kaiju moved, Donald flinched but not in the way where someone would run away. He was ready to throw hands with a beast 20 times his size. When Omni man broke into the house, Donald didnt run away. He yelled at everyone to run away, grabbed a gun, and started shooting Omni man so everyone else would have a better chance at surviving. This scene just makes the point that Donald is a chad even stronger than before. He would have made Hank proud 😢

When Donald demands that everyone...the staff...clears the room so he can confront Cecil... ...they all probably know that Donald has confronted Cecil before; and has seen him do it, time and again. ...but everyone also probably knows that Donald has sacrificed himself repeatedly to save employees just like them; so the respect they show him isn't diminished.

I'd say that's likely mostly true. It's probably happened before but most probably wonder how he's still alive. Most of Donald's life is definitely so highly classified that you'd need a top secret security clearance just to learn the name of the security clearance needed to read Donald's fucking Twitter lol. So they probably know enough to know that this man should absolutely not be standing here. Individually some may know of a few deaths. Otherwise, the secret couldn't realistically be kept. The rest is probably spot on though.

You have to think about it, each cyborg probably costs millions of dollars to recreate Donald and put his brain. This is how much Cecil admires Donald and sees him being important because in each video, he has saved lives and still chooses to sacrifice his life for it without realizing it wouldn't be his last.

[@Confron7a7ion7]

And if his 98% number is accurate, then it's literally just his brain, which is 2% of the body. Meaning at some point early on, like 1st or 2nd death, Cecil ordered the R&D needed to ensure Donald's brain would be physically protected from insane forces AND survive long enough for retrieval. Cecil may spend 5 million a teleport to avoid using doors, but to keep Donald alive he spent the entire defense budget of a medium sized nation. Cecil has been shown to value human life in general but he views Donald as invaluable and indispensable.

Image comics, the publisher of the invincible comics, is the third biggest comicbook publisher after dc and marvel. They are huge, this is not just a big hit from some small company, they regularly produced comics like this. With it becoming an animated series Invincible became even better which yo cant always count on with adaptations

[@spottedslash4256]

Didn't read comics growing up huh?

[@JacobSmith-uo1fx]

Dude loses a piece of himself every time but every time he made a little piece of this world a better place. I would say for just being human that's pretty damn heroic.

[@Nonskiller]

Cecil = The real reason why I let you come back to life is because you are a good person. I won't admit it, but that's the only reason. Donald = I understand why now..

[@crossroadschoices1077]

Donald is the real hero that the world needs

[@Moronity746]

My man helped a suicidal person by spitting absolute motivational fire, How can you not just respect this guy

[@wardious2562]

One of the best characters in the entire series, a boneified og 💪

[@banallanimeandfurries]

anime should be banned

[@banallanimeandfurries]

pokemon is doo doo butter anime

[@DavidJones-mv5qk]

Thats a hero. Always pulling people out of danger, and holding the line so others can escape to safety. Giving literally everything in the process every time.

[@badnoodlez]

donald is even more of an absolute chad than he was in the comics now

[@jefthereaper]

Donald: Oh god, maybe that means I am INVINCIBLE.

[@HammyAndSammy]

This moment with Rick, William and Donald is so genuine it tears me up 😢

[@virgilhawkins7368]

Donald's speech legit made me cry. I really need to watch this show.

[@JabamiLain]

I've been finding lots of storylines similar to this lately. I feel like I need to go back to see happier stuff, but those feel so hollow after seeing all this.

[@turtle_soda]

omni man kinda saved donald cuz the blast from season 1 would've destroyed the last bits of him but nolan was holding on to bits of his spine

[@PaulFJarnes]

Donald is really one of the most goated characters in the series. Could probably convince Viltrum to leave Earth tbh

[@andyrevo19]

Who would've thought the guy who played Bobby Hill would become such a dope actor

[@gerstein03]

Donald really is the Coulson to Cecil's Fury. They even full on Tahitied his ass right down to the memory wipes

[@huynguyenquang7435]

"Is there something in the water today?" Yeah. It is. You did it

[@anthonymelvin9738]

“Is there something in the water today” yes there is

[@machinshin2253]

I'm very happy they expanded out Donald's storyline in the series, it really fills out a key supporting character.

[@jordanharrison4554]

Bro has the worst and best plot armor at the same time.

[@jeremypilario8911]

Donald talking to rick hit hard man. I cried when watching this scene for the first time and it made me realize I am more than what my body is and more than what my choices were. I do not want to die yet, I want to live for the people I love and make my life worth it.

[@chrisellis2758]

This probably isn’t even the first time he’s had this confrontation with Cecil. They prob done it again and again until Donald finally met someone who had the same problems he had and learned to finally confront himself with who he was in the end

[@Mr.Ford3350]

If anybody deserves to have superpowers in the Invincible 'verse, it's Donald

[@gabrielcastillo9745]

So much for the pathetic "Cecil's little lapdog."

[@simunator]

Cecil needs an ominous number on the wall so he can track how many times he has this conversation

[@ramadhanbenny6640]

Just like king Zanac from Overlord, appears unremarkable on first impression but deserves all the respect

[@bambam3696]

Donald is truly invincible

[@BlackDiamond2718]

He was so damn cool and i appreciate his character. He is human even outside of his body and he can see that as we do. Just realized why not give him the ability to teleport so they save money on remaking him.

[@noelmejias552]

Rick and William are so gonna be pissed when they found out Sinclair is working for Cecil

[@Atzuma99]

Sometimes the strongest of us aren't the ones that can destroy whole planet's. Sometimes the one's with real strength are the ones who never fail to do the right thing regardless of what happens to them.

[@Supperdude9]

Now Donald is the type of G-Man you want protecting your country. Dude has balls of steel to show bravery in near impossible odds so he can save his fellow man.

[@Fiona_with_cake]

imagine if the clip ended with donald getting killed by a sniper to complete the cycle

[@wingofunny]

Donald, by every definition, is a hero, and heros never die. (case in point, all the comics with dc and marvel where batman and supe etc have died and been brought back or alternative timeline versions take their place) Donald being brought back is because he is a hero at heart, and with how everything goes in the invincible timeline, having a hero, not necessary the strongest or greatest, but a true hero deserves to live.

[@Misunao23]

Cecil has probably had to do this 39 times and has had the same 39 conversations. Yet he seems to never feel comfortable doing it. Keeping it a secret was probably a mercy to Donald, but he also probably wants him to come to the same decision each time. By himself. So he can always have autonomy.

[@mr.l8723]

The fact this was all HIS call to erase his memories. Not Cecil’s, is just sad. He couldn’t live with such horrors dealt to him.

[@-bemyvalentine-]

This is such a heartwarming scene. Donald really is a man to be respected.

[@brentwilbur]

I like how Donald _is_ a super hero. Not in the traditional sense of having powers, but because he has absolute conviction for doing the right and noble thing no matter the cost to himself.

[@Africanama]

Donald living that Re:Zero life.
