Sonichu 10 Page 91
MAGI-CHAN {narration}: Between each of them, Alec, Evan, Sean and Mao had their own individual executions. After Angelica read them their last rights, they were each set up. For Alec, the ten button electric chair.
CHRIS {thought}: Set me on fire! Chop off my head! You d*** lunatic!
SONICHU {thought}: I am not gay!
WILD {thought}: You killed my sweetheart!
SANDY: You killed my mommy!
BUBBLES {thought}: I am not retarded!
ANGELICA {thought}: May God have mercy.
PUNCHY {thought}: Blood and gore!
PATTI {thought}: I bite back!
BIONIC {thought}: I am not a robot!
ALEC: La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la..!
MAGI-CHAN {narration}: Evan hurt Wild and Sandy the most, by wanting Simonla dead first and worse. He is chained to a wall…
With a zap, a whirr, a bang, and a crunch, the Asperpedia Four are ended. Magi-Chan overviews the process CWCville uses to execute its condemned. Notably, it appears that the Asperpedia Four were immediately executed following their trial, as opposed to spending time following their sentence on death row. But Chris and his army of hedgehogs were feeling exceptionally bloodthirsty when it came to the Asperpedia Four, so it’s possible they were granted an exception and immediately sent to their deaths.
The sole shred of humanity they are offered is Angelica reading them their “last rights”, likely stemming from Chris confusing “last rites”, the Catholic sacrament of a final prayer and Eucharist for someone about to die or be executed, with the Miranda Rights, which would have been delivered to them upon their arrests.
Alec is the first to die, and also given one of the longer executions, with ten individuals given the chance to air their grievances with him. Surprisingly, despite being the characters with the strongest in-universe reasons to hate Alec, none of the Asperpedia hedgehogs or the Basement Rosechus are present at his executions.
The first to press a button is Chris, who denounces the violent content in Asperchu one last time, complaining again about the scene where he was set on fire and other abuses he received in Asperchu. He is surrounded by red plus signs, used in anime to represent anger.
Sonichu’s complaint? “I am not gay.” Which is a strange complaint, as Sonichu is not portrayed as gay in Asperchu, Wild was. While Sonichu’s interactions with Asperchu are often played up as homoerotic for laughs, they are never a couple.
Wild and Sandy both decry Alec’s role in the removal of Simonla, as well as her in-comic murder. Sandy is notably the only person present to actually say aloud her grievance, as opposed to thinking it.
Magi-Chan says nothing, but emits a violet shock wave that reaches Alec as he dies at the bottom of the page (note the purple lines above Alec’s head). It’s possible that this was a telepathic message aimed privately at Alec, but I’d argue that if that were the case, Chris would have noted what he said. My head canon is that Magi-Chan has the power to murder people using his psychic powers, much as we see Chris do to Mao, and here Magi sends out a psychic shockwave specifically to kill Alec (though it’s so slow that it doesn’t reach him until after the electric chair has been activated, making it a pointless endeavor).
Bubbles, with Blake by her side, takes issue with Asperchu playing up her stupidity for laughs. Bubbles was portrayed as exceptionally stupid in Asperchu, so stupid she could barely function.
The sole thought racing through Angelica’s mind is “May God have mercy”. It has long been debated who Angelica means when she says this - Chris presumably meant that Angelica wished God(bear) to have mercy on Alec’s soul, as he was (in Chris and Angelica’s eyes) a murderer, but it is commonly thought in the fan community that she was asking for her own forgiveness, and that she felt immense guilt over her role in Alec’s execution and now believed herself to be an accessory to murder.
Punchy apparently hasn’t been watching enough TV comedies to calm his temper and, surrounded by more angry anime marks than anyone else, shouts “blood and gore”. It’s subtly suggested throughout Sonichu that Punchy may have some anger management issues, and for a page, the story lets Punchy fulfill his most violent fantasies.
Patti’s presence is confounding to anyone who hasn’t followed the Asperchu saga to its every detail. See, in Asperchu, there’s this one off dog that’s white and brown and wears a green bandana, Chris assumed it was based on his comic incarnation of Patti and took immense offense with Alec including his real life dog in his comic. The dog only superficially resembles Patti, being a non-anthropomorphic quadruped, and is an easily missed character. But this character is the basis for Patti’s continued hatred of Alec and Asperchu, including the claim that she can and will eat Alec’s soul, and her presence here. Again, let I remind you that Alec apparently abused all of the EHPs in his care for years, yet Patti is the one who is deemed to have the greater misdeed done against her.
The character who completes the lethal circuit is Bionic the Hedgehog. In Asperchu, Bionic was a diabolical hybrid of Christopher Pike from Star Trek and Davros from Doctor Who, though Bionic was not a robot. He was a normal hedgehog, but was severely injured by a curse-ye-ha-me-ha and was stuck in a wheelchair/life support system like the ones Pike and Davros use. Chris has always taken offense to the suggestion from anyone that Bionic is mechanical due to his misleading name, though.
And with that, the electric chair is activated and begins to light Alec up. His last words are the embarrassing “La-la-la-la-la”, even though he easily could have just said “Aaaahhhhh”. The phrase “La-la-la-la-la” is, at least in the stuff I’ve seen, heavily associated with skipping merrily, and frequently with little girls skipping merrily. It’s a pretty embarrassing thing to have as your last words, honestly.
And as Alec’s corpse slumps back in the chair, charred and smoking, Chris’s confirmed body count in Sonichu 10 rises to one hundred and three.
