Redacted

**Warning: This page contains SPOILERS!**

Redacated

## **Appearance**

-There are two Redacted people, one appears more muscular than the other.

-Both Redacted people appear as grey humanoid figures, their faces covered with a black square, hence the name Redacted.

-It appears that only Gyrus and the Don can see the Redacted. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that it is only confirmed that Don can see the Redacted in cockroach form.)

## **History**

According to Gyrus in chapter 214, the Redacted was supposed to be completely erased from existence, but due to some circumstances, the plan didn't succeed.

After the Dark Matter Bomb exploded, the Redacted's hearts were "filled with an unknowable but tremendous loss." The Redacted and Gyrus also touch upon the topic of "Who detonated the bomb?" But none of them seem to recall.

## **Importance**

One of the Redacted (according to Gyrus the less muscular one) first makes an appearance in chapter 149, in the season 3 premiere, saving Gyrus from the Cockroach King just as he was about to kill him. In this moment, Redacted also got their hands on a Dark Matter Bomb, which supposedly had an important part in starting the new Reality/Universe.

Both Redacted makes an appearance in chapter 214, which, in the timeline, is after Kodya sacrifices himself to save Gyrus (for what, like the third time now??), who ends up keeping his memory in the next voyage. The more muscular Redacted (we should really start giving them names) stabs Yumeji with the Abyss Sword and slams him against a cliff wall, causing him to drop all his 23 boss swords. Redacted then hands Gyrus the Abyss Sword. With this, Gyrus and company get all their memories and levels back (and cool outfits).

## Abilities

* Telekinesis
* Ability to travel through time and space
* Ability to censor their face and have no skin :)

## Technology/Items

-Shadow Sword; no idea how Redacted got their hands on that

-Dark Matter Bomb; also no idea how Redacted got that

Although people can't see The Redacted, they apparently can see the items they're holding

## **Relationships**

### Gyrus

Gyrus is one of the only two people who seems to be able to see Redacted. He also knew Redacted before we (the readers) were introduced to them. The Redacted are on the same side as Gyrus and have helped him multiple times. It seems that Gyrus and the Redacted worked on a certain plan before, but it ALSO seems that said plan has failed.

### Don

Don is the second person to be able to see Redacted. He also seems to recognize the Redacted before we see them at the exit of the room of swords. He probably dislikes the Redacted (yeah I don't know though (that was sarcastic😭)).

## **Theories**

Even till the end, the authors never revealed the true identity of Redacted, but here are some theories:

1. Some people seem to believe that the two Redacted might be Amelia and King Iro. Don has made comments about Redacted not having skin and being stuck between dimensions. When Don then resets King Iro, he makes a comment about how maybe his skin will be better than Amelia’s. Coupled with the fact that Amelia’s power is ripping through reality, it’s possible that she could have gotten stuck and essentially erased from the timeline, turning her into Redacted. When Gyrus meets Don in prehistory, Don also states that Amelia does not exist anymore, supporting the idea that she was erased somehow. also, only Don and Gyrus seem to be able to perceive Redacted's physical form. (source: Reddit)

2. There are also some people who believe that the two Redacted are another version of Cockroach King and Masiosare, that due to some circumstances got stuck in space-time and ended up as Redacted.

3. There is also some speculation about the two Redacted being Gyrus and Kodya, but no proof to actually support this claim.
