"Assimilate!"

--Delightful Reaper


The Delightful Reaper was a monster seen in The Grim Adventures of the KND.

History[]

The Delightful Reaper was created by an accidental fusion of The Delightful Children From Down the Lane and Billy. The fusion happens as the Delightful Children walks into the Delightfulization Chamber along with Billy who is wearing his dad's lucky pants and carrying Grim’s Scythe in the back. When Billy activates something, the resulting energies of the chamber fuses them together to create the Delightful Reaper. A giant Grim reaper-like figure that looks similar to grim but wearing the lucky pants and featuring the faces of disembodied skulls of everyone it has assimilated. At the beginning of its creation, it initially consisted of only Billy and the Delightful Children From Down The Lane, but soon started to grow as the Delightful Reaper began assimilating everyone else beyond. Numbuh 2 was the first victim to get assimilated.

It's abilities were being able to unleash waves of energy to assimilate kids (from both the shows Codename Kids Next Door and The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, as well as several more Cartoon Network shows); in doing this, and being able to cut anything it struck. The lucky pants also made it virtually invincible to some of the most powerful attack sources on earth but only if the attacks were focused anywhere. On the lucky pants which covered the reaper's weak point, it's bottom, even if the attacks did not hit the lucky pants. The reaper would not even take a significant amount of damage to even being wounded at all (probably this is because the reaper could only be destroyed if the attack destroyed its weak point, which was armored by the lucky pants).

Its other ability was to create massive storms and dark power at will but this ability was only briefly seen. When Mandy took control of it before Billy's dad pulled down the pants to reveal the reaper's weak point. Its power was so great that a single clash with an equally powerful force would force back it's opponents but leaves the reaper unfazed, finally, it was quite fast despite its size being able to use the lucky pants by turning around to deflect an extremely fast attack from Mandy's M.A.N.D.R.O.B.O.T. Out of all villains in the KND universe, the Delightful Reaper is perhaps the most powerful villain in the series (the second powerful being Grandfather) because it has so many powerful abilities such as assimilating anyone it strikes and that it is almost impossible to harm or defeat unless the pants it is wearing come off.

Moving aside, when the Delightful Reaper assimilates more kids, it gains more power and gets closer to its goal of world domination. Each victim's skeleton skull is added to the Delightful Reaper's hoodie when they get assimilated. Eventually, it has assimilated hundreds and hundreds of kids which creates a giant skull resembling Grim's face with all of them talking in unison, exactly like how the Delightful Children speak. Numbuh 1 and Grim, who had fused together to form a giant skeletal samurai monster using the "Bone of Barnacles", then arrive to fight the Delightful Reaper, but are unable to defeat it due to the lucky pant's immunity to lasers, supernatural energies, and mustard.

As it is about to assimilate them, Mandy's M.A.N.D.R.O.B.O.T. arrives on the scene and puts on a decent fight, but the reaper is not even injured, the only "wound" being a quick-fading

Billy's dad then appears, demanding the return of his lucky pants, and leaps to the height of the giant monster's waistline, pulling off its pants and rendering it vulnerable. The Delightful Reaper is then destroyed by Grim and Numbuh 1 hitting it's a weak point and releasing the children it assimilated. As the Delightful Reaper explodes, several characters from other Cartoon Network shows are seen flying out of it.

Trivia[]

  • There was one part where the Delightful Reaper says to Billy, "Would you stop that!? Oh, I wish I've never assimilated you in the first place!", in which really Billy was not assimilated. He was part of the Delightful Reaper when it was first formed.
  • When the Delightful Reaper was defeated, many Cartoon Network characters were seen flying out of it. Which means the Delightful Reaper has assimilated all those characters, which are Dexter, Dee Dee, Mandark, Adam Lyon, Andy Johnson, Mac, Goo, Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup and Eddy. Which means all the world's places from all the different Cartoon Network shows including The Cul-de-Sac of the Eds hometown, Peach Creek, the Foster's Mansion (from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends), Charles Darwin Middle School for animals (from My Gym Partner's A Monkey), Andy's unknown hometown (from Squirrel Boy), The City of Townsville (The Powerpuff Girls' homecity), Genius Grove (Dexter, Dee Dee, and Mandark's hometown), Endsville (Billy and Mandy's home town), and Sector V of the KND are all in the exact same world but in different locations. This may prove that Codename: Kids Next Door, Billy and Mandy, Ed, Edd n Eddy, and all the rest of the cartoon network shows may take place in the same universe. Although this would be the only time Squirrel Boy make a crossover cameo with Billy and Mandy and the KND until the "O.K.K.O: Let's Be Heroes" episode "Crossover Nexus" premiered in 2018. 
  • Even though the Delightful Reaper assimilated the characters of Cartoon Network, however, it was never shown on-screen.
  • The last characters the Delightful Reaper assimilated were Mandy, Numbuh 3, and Numbuh 4.
  • When the Delightful Reaper went through Endsville, several characters from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy and Codename: Kids Next Door were seen all around, including Tommy Gilligan about to fight Sperg when he was bullying Pud'n and two groups of girls at a playground fighting over which doll, Rainbow Monkeys or Sassy Cats are better. Before the Delightful Reaper assimilated them all.
  • When more and more kids (including many of the characters of Cartoon Network) started to get assimilated into the Delightful Reaper, their skeletal versions of their faces all started doing the same thing the Delightful Children themselves do, talking together at the same time (Billy commenting on how difficult it is).
  • Whenever someone gets assimilated to the Delightful Reaper, their clothing and footwear are left behind (but not their hair, glasses, hats, caps, bows, or headgear). However, once the Reaper disassembles, all of its victims are shown fully clothed, either implying that the previous predicament was done simply for dramatic effect or that they somehow regain their clothing when they pop out of the reaper.
  • The Delightful Reaper is very similar to Alpha from the second Cartoon Network crossover special, Ben 10/Generator Rex: Heroes United.
  • Strangely, the DCFDTL and Sector V's skulls are shaped like Grim's head when inside the Reaper, whereas the other characters retain their head shapes.
  • There is a concept art picture where the Delightful Reaper is drawn without the lucky pants.
