@@Inkypencil22 nah I don't think each Hank is different, I think he's died and been revived so many times there's multiple versions of him in purgatory, cause when Deimos got revived there was only one of him cause he's only died that one time, that would also explain why Hank got dumber when he became MAG Hank cause there are still pieces of him in purgatory

[@lukedufaur5368]

You can see on Doc's terminal that it mentions "6" and "7" as being two "Divergent" or "Dissonant" aspects of the most recent Hank S-3LF. The fact that only one of these divergent halves is Recovered by Deimos may explain MAG Hank's initial mental stuntedness even though his physical body is fully intact. It seems that upon gaining possession of the Keystone Fragment the integrity of Hank's S-3LF is restored and he fully regains his mental faculties. Hank's S-3LF may have split due to him refusing to be revived by Tricky at the beginning of Consternation, so the PID caused an imperfect resurrection.

[@jakejohnson718]

The 7 hank might be PN hank actually, another commenter explains it better than me tbh, but basically the 7 hank has the same injuries as the "punished" hank outfit

This all started with stickmen fighting over a boombox.

[@aborealisglfry]

Wait that’s perfect It’d make sense, considering S3LFs are stated to be Personality facets anyway, and by the fact that MC6 and MC7 hank aren’t all that different, they just display themselves a little differently. (Their illusion to the "Do what comes natural - KILL- DIE" is pretty noteworthy imo. I feel like they aren’t two separate people, but really just two sides of the same coin…or er, two sides of whatever object has 4 sides.)

[@jxpk1573]

So basically when Doc said “I’ll keep bringing them back” he means that for every instance of hank dying, a new hank is created (and resurrected)? Is this Hankception? Quite literally Madness. Fun Fact: The numbers that show up when Doc chooses Antipathy Hank (RUNERRCHK((0110)) (RUNERRCHK((0111)) are both in binary code (0110 is 6 and 0111 is 7 corresponding to both Antipathy and Consternation Hank) I suppose this has something to do with the Retainers as they are sort of angels that keep things in “balance” (which is stated by the Newgrounds description) which would indicate multiple existences of PURGATORY. This combined with the fact that there are 4 spaces for hank. I believe that the Hank that *looks* like he is from MC7 isn’t actually him, but the one from Project Nexus (Krinkels himself has confirmed that it is canon) as he sustains similar wounds from *Spoiler* : After Deimos and Sanford kill him and you attain Hank’s “Punished” outfit. Since purgatory just so happens to be a place of punishment, I think you can paint the picture here. But hey, thats just a theory.

HANK; INTO THE HANKVERSE

[@Blehdits]

What about dedmoss? Is he the same deimoss we have seen with an upgrade or a "new" deimoss?

[@hitorizz]

For those who don't understood, the Guy in the Start was turned into Hank's Clone after a fragment of the Original Hank got into him by Doc (Thinking he was dead after Part 7's end). The same thing happened to Tricky, Doc was trying to revive them. But, later, we see the Original Hank, who actually survived (Unlike Tricky). After both Hanks Fight and Tricky's defeat, the clone was taken and fused with that strange Alien member. So the Clone is the Hank we see from Part 10 and 11. As the Original Hank is still alive and the Clone died in the end of Part 11, unfortunately, the Original Hank is the only one who can stop the Auditor. That's how the Storyline will continue and probably end.

you can see the foot falling off, perhaps he's too narrow for the foot to snap? kinda like magnets?

[@Gigas0101]

Antipathy hank also seems to struggle with the more advanced soldiers from time to time. I feel this makes sense since Hank seems to get more powerful with each resurrection, so a version of Hank from a few revives back might not be able to match the enhanced agents and soldats. This raises a question for me, though... Are there other versions of hank out there from further back in the series that can do the Max Payne/Matrix bullet time?

The Retainer is kinda like a guard from the hell. He's there to prevent any prisioner (grunts, mainly Hank) from escaping from the prison (hell). You must be a serious problem in life to a Retainer go to Retain you personally. That's why he's haunting mainly Hank.

[@spirittail4958]

Most likely yeah because assuming this is more or less hell the fact that someone like hank is down there causing havoc is probably not the best for buissness even tricky didn't show up until Hank was there and given the fact there's more or less an opening between this hell and navada that occured during episode 9 most likely if my hypothesis is correct the method of bringing people back from the dead is making more holes and weakening that border so most likely these retainers are meant to keep the dead where they belong so they cannot be revived and as we see when tricky catches Hank the tracking can't find him and then it's swapped to a different Hank from a different timeline and the retainer and tricky then follow suit and when tricky kills the retainer it says bindings compromised most likely meaning that Hank is unbound and now able to encounter his other self from the other timeline on top of being able to be recovered so from what I can tell if you are "bound" using the bindings you have a retainer after you and this stuff like this happens when the retainer is killed the bindings keeping you in hell are disabled and now your more or less "unbound" which puts you into this sort of out of bounds state where in the case of Hank can encounter himself from other timelines and be recovered but then again this is just my hypothesis I'm not the most intelligent about the madness combat lore but this is just what I can somewhat tell I also wonder about that claw it shows up In Dedmos and seems to aim to help him and Hank while they're in this hell purgatory area but it's intentions are never made clear it's alot to think about

[@PillocksAnimationCentre]

So, here’s what I’ve gathered. Every time Hank has died his s-3lf is split and sent to the Other Place. A s-3lf is apparently one’s mind and identity put into a Nevadean/ grunt. Now that I know this, it makes sense as to why Hank looks and acts different each time he is resurrected. It’s basically his personality being multiplied and put into bodies, so things may change. In MC7, when Antipathy Hank is fighting Tricky, he gets his face chopped in half like Jotaro Kujo. He then dies, and when Tricky brings back Hank, he now looks and acts different. This is because it’s another variant of him, his s-3lf has once again been split and put in a body. More evidence to this is that the old Hank’s body vanishes upon his return. Now, in the Other Place, we can see that there are seemingly 2 Hanks and 2 Trickys. Now, this would be the simple conclusion, unless we take into account what happened with Antipathy Hank. This would mean that every time Hank has died and come back, his old version of himself is sent to the Other Place. Someone in the reply section down there (somewhere) said that this grunt at 4:18 may very well be Hank. And I can totally see that. He has the same bullet head wound from MC2 and what appears to be the Sheriff Tracker. In certain scenes, we can also see Tricky’s skin decay vary a little. This could mean that there are dozens of Hanks and Trickys in the Other Place, and the coinflip.exe command could’ve chosen any one of them. Coinflip.exe appears to be similar to a lucky spinny wheel thing. Due to the fact that it says “find a Hank” at the top, it probably just randomised which Hank would be brought back from the Other Place. As for the reason to why we only see 2-3 variations of Hank and Tricky (despite them both dying around 7 times each) may be because they are retained or killed. Allegedly, when you die in the Other Place your body will be decomposed, but your s-3lf remains. I struggle to comprehend this and believe that if you die you come back but with scars of your injuries (as we see on quite a few agents that Hank rips through). Although, I am not sure what happens when you are retained. The decomposing and s-3lf remaining may very well go for this. Towards the end, we get a message saying “I’ll keep taking them back” after Hank is resurrected. This may be the 2BDamned/Doc referring to all of Hank and the gang’s split s-3lves inside the Other Place (if s-3lf is like “self”, I figured s-3lves would be the plural, like, “themselves”). This would make a lot of sense, as he has brought back Deimos and now Hank. Because the tentacle impaled Antipathy Hank, that now means that Antipathy Hank is inside of the MAG-ified Consternation Hank’s body. He now doesn’t know who the Auditor is, he doesn’t really know who Sanford is, and he doesn’t know what powers Tricky has gained. According to Krinkles himself, Sanford and Hank are just partners, and Hank would kill Sanford if he needed to. This is now far more likely to happen, as our new MAG Hank is much more violent and aggressive. Tricky should be back in the Other Place, as he is dead. However, I don’t think the Tricky that we see in this episode is our current Tricky. He looks like how he looked earlier on in the series. A grunt with red hair and a ripped jaw. Another reason as to why this could be the old Tricky is because he uses a chainsaw. We haven’t seen that for quite a bit of time. As for the facial scars, I’m not sure, although, Tricky has definitely been hit here before. We also see the spine demon variant of Tricky in here. This could mean that the Auditor either brought back that version of Tricky, or he may have brought back all the split s-3lves upon absorbing him. This would make sense, as Tricky then takes on a new form, creates minions of himself and his speech gets a lot more static. Due to the fact that Tricky made so many minions, all with the same goal, using just the halo, it may be possible that the possessor of the halo can control how and when to split someone’s s-3lf. This doesn’t relate with the above, but I find it hilarious that Tricky saves hank, gets spiked in the face, throws himself through the wall and pops through the floor with a chainsaw.

Okay, so let me see if I've got this right: - The Hank that appears in part 1 of MC 9.5 is the Hank from MC 7, Consternation. He gets retained at the end of part 1 and escapes retainment once the Retainer is killed by Tricky. - The Hank that appears at the beginning of part 2 is the Hank from MC 6, Antipathy. After Consternation Hank is retained, the Retainer attempts to pursue Antipathy Hank. - By the time Consternation Hank escapes retainment, he loses some portion of his sanity and develops an obsession with killing. - The Hank that escapes the afterlife and becomes the Hank we know in MC 9 and beyond is Antipathy Hank. Consternation Hank remains in the afterlife. Therefore, the Hank from MC 7 is not the Hank that we know today. This means that revived Hank is unaware of the events of MC 7. This timeline might not even be correct, because it does not account for the fact that at 11:17, the Hank thrown into the injection site has Consternation Hank's outfit. I don't think this is Consternation Hank, however, because Antipathy Hank was the one that was taken away by the tentacle during the recovery process. Moreover, the outfit this Hank wears is notably fixed up in comparison to Consternation Hank's outfit in the afterlife (note the broken glasses and torn rags).

[@azylan]

Unsolved mysteries: - How does Tricky maintain his powers in the afterlife? Are the multiple Trickies from Tricky's many deaths, or are they a result of Tricky's abilities? - What is the purpose of the coinflip.exe program the Retainer uses? What is a "CHR divergence"? - What are the tentacles that appear in the afterlife? Are they an extension of the recovery process that Deimos initiated? - Were the meteorites at 4:09 sent on purpose by somebody, or did they just happen to be there? - If the Retainer is dead, then who is responsible for the message at 11:25?

[@monkeyinred6742]

@@azylan A thing I think you got wrong: - 11:17, The reason this is Consternation Hank is because it's a parallel to MC9, when Deimos throws the dead Hank into the MAG-ifier. As some others have pointed out, it even has the same gunfire, just muffled. My theory is that this means that Mag-Hank is Antipathy Hank's mind in what was once Consternation Hank's body (probably Antipathy Hank's, too, just further back). What I think the answer is to a few of the mysteries: - I believe the coinflip.exe was used by 2BDamned, literally having his console randomly choose a Hank to recover. I also believe you mistook him for Deimos. "CHR divergence" could be short for "Character divergence", which would basically be tech-speak for "So, there are multiple Hanks". - The tentacles do certainly seem to have some connection to the recovery process, which would also make for a pretty interesting parallel to the Dedmos videos. Every time dead Deimos is stabbed by one, 2BDamned is making an attempt to recover him, but evidently failing. - This would also tie in nicely to what I just said, if one assumes the meteorites are some countermeasure, probably used by the Retainers, or whoever is above them. - I think it's 2BDamned.

[@Refracturon]

@@azylan possibly auditor or the doctor. All i know is that Auditor wants to keep hank in the after life and 2BDamned wants to bring him in. Now let me be very clear with this, The hank in the machine is revived as MC6 hank’s soul. MC7 hank’s soul is actually most likely gonna meet up with deimos as intended by 2BDamned, i know he’s gonna pull MC7 hank out after him and deimos deal with those giant guards since auditor still retains power. The only known person who can necessarily beat him is hank, the only question is what 2BDamned will do to him when bringing him back.

[@azylan]

@@monkeyinred6742 All of that makes sense, and clears this up quite a bit. Also, looking back, it appears that at some point I mistook 2BDamned for the Retainer. (Oops. In my defense, their masks are somewhat similar...) Moreover, I had thought that Deimos using the computer next to the MAG-ifier in MC 9 (the computer he died at, actually) was him initiating Hank's recovery. Now, though, it makes sense that 2BDamned had initiated the recovery process by executing coinflip.exe. Hopefully we learn more about 2BDamned at some point.

It could make sense but it brings up a few questions on why Antipathy was already here, and Consternation kinda just came in, also I’m sure tricky would team up to attack with all of his deaths at once, and not just coming back with a demon skeleton thing. But I could see this as somewhat possible

Interesting. So maybe it’s like a reverse psychology moment? Like, the person leaving the messages is using Subliminal messaging. But it could also be just Hank in his own head seeing these things. Telling himself to FIGHT and KILL to live while also thinking he should just DIE to end it quicker.
