Unfortunately this issue has been taken hostage by a number of fanboys. Why does everyone on the web say that 'Ideon destroys the entire universe?' Because fanboys in versus threads say thats what happened.

They jump in to many super robot arguments and say 'Ideon blew up the universe, argument over'. And of course out of all the fanboys that say this I bet none have even seen Be Invoked.

I've seen the phrase 'Cosmo destroys the universe with the Ideon Gun' before, which shows how delusional many of these people are. I personally, who first saw Ideon about 3 years ago and over the past year and a half have been fansubbing it, had kept hearing about that 'destroy the universe' thing too though, and this was back when Ideon wasn't talked about at all in english on the web outside of the occasional discussion. My personal opinion has always been that the universe was indeed destroyed although I'll admit that going into it thats what I expected happened since thats what I'd been told. Until the matter is settled I'd agree with leaving the 'Ideon destroys the universe' statement out of the article. Quiddity99 00:53, 14 January 2007 (UTC)Quiddity99 Reply Maybe a compromise. How about detonates and causes devastation on a galactic scale (although some argue that it is A new Big Bang that Destroys the universe) 68.9.223.94 15:01, 19 January 2007 (UTC) Reply I watched the end of 'Be Invoked' again and notice the following: in the first shot you see a massive explosion getting bigger and bigger, blow up the planet next to it in second second you see it blow you two more planet. And both shots are close up and you see no other planet and star involved in the shots. In the third shot it zoom out to a ultra wide shot where you see a lots of star behind, and you also see some red spot in the middle left of the screen. And then those soul started talking to each others. Is this already represent the universe has been destroyed? IF, the explosion continue in the third shot, wipe out a lot more star and planet, then the statement may be more valid. In the first shot we see the earth is in the middle, Mars is next to it, then wipe out by the explosion. In the second shot we zoom little wide and see Jupiter and Saturn is within the range of the framing, wipe out by the explosion too, and then in the third shot we see the universe. My point is if this explosion is meant to destroy the entire universe, visually it should look like that, there should be at least one shot seeing a lot of star and star system is destroyed, but we don't! I didn't read any books of Ideon's behind the scene setting and story. From what we can seen in the story, my own interpretation on this is: Ide DID NOT destroy the 'entire' universe, but at most destroyed a huge area in the universe (represent in the third shot mention before), and responsible to the extinct of both human and buff clan race. If this interpretation is correct, you should later see some planet or even life should exist, and yes, those shots exist. If you continue to watch the scene of 'Be Invoked' where those soul talking to each other, you will later notice there is a Jupiter like planet, then there is some monster like life exist on a planet, and before those soul gather, we also saw three more planet and not to mention the very last shot those soul back to a earth like environment.

Of course one can argue that the universe has already 'reset' in the third shot, but from the hint given in the story I can hardly agree so.
