Talk:Ando Masahashi (explosion future)

Death discrepancy

Not a big deal, but I just wanted to list my initial reasoning somewhere. I was under the impression that Ando interpreted his death scene in 9th Wonders! to be by Sylar, but not due to the explosion (possibly in a scene similar to the one that takes place in Isaac's loft, had Hiro not showed up). From the picture, it doesn't seem that Ando was in an explosion (eg - no burnt flesh), but rather was crumpled and mangled (possibly an effect of telekinesis or enhanced strength (though I know we don't know Sylar had the latter at any point). Also, the original picture description seems to indicate that it was due to something other than the explosion (ie - "at Sylar's hands"). I have no problem with leaving it as is, but just wanted to list my thoughts somewhere.  :) --Stevehim 16:23, 10 November 2008 (EST)

• Thanks, Stevehim. I think it's a matter of interpretation. I've never interpreted Ando saying "I die. Sylar kills me." as a death by telekinesis or anything other than an explosion. If Sylar was the cause for the explosion, then yes, it would be a death "at Sylar's hands". But really, that's just the description that a fan put for the uploaded picture, not a canon description, of course. Also Tim Sale's philosophy is to get the story across in simplest way possible...though dying from an explosion doesn't necessarily mean being burned to death--certainly it could mean something falling on Ando, for instance, and crumpling him in such a way... In the end, I think it's important to not assume that there's a discrepancy unless we know there is one. I tried to word it that way by saying that "some have found a discrepancy"...but I don't want to assume that just because there could be holes in the plot that there definitely are holes in the plot....Great article, by the way! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:03, 10 November 2008 (EST)
