Trivia[]

  • Xykon yelling "WHO JUST STOLE MY KILLS?!?!?" is a reference to kill stealing, which is when in a game someone kills something that someone else had been fighting and gets credit for it.
  • There has been much speculation regarding what power enabled the MitD to teleport O-Chul and V to safety. MitD's ability to do this is a major clue to its identity.
  • The title is a play on the physical concept of the path of least resistance.
