The Irken alphabet doesn't have a letter "Z". There was never going to be a place for Zim. Or his name is just spelled/pronounced "Sim" or "Jim". Or, possibly the funniest explanation, they just removed whatever character makes a "Z" sound from the alphabet after Zim was born. SDFUOSAGHLDSKFGHDLKFJGHWKLAFBKWUEYVBILAUHGLIDFGHSFKLGJ WHAT THE FUCK THATS SO FUCKING FUNNY...... "we don't want anymore Zim's so we're removing this letter from our alphabet" IS JUST A GODTIER MOVE

so that would make 4 survivors of Zim's group total.... Who's the fourth one? Have I missed someone? I know it's Lard Nar, Zim, Three-Headed-Alien (who I will refer to as Asimov from now on for convenience, possibly, maybe), and...?

Zim technically outranks Tak-or he did, before he was demoted to Food Service Drone. He was a full-blown Irken Elite and a Proper Invader. Tak was just an Elite Trainee who didn't even get to take her final exam and couldn't break out of a measly testing pod. I'm surprised Zim didn't pull rank and lord his rank over her...unless he's not completely in denial about his demotion. That reminds me, is Tak older or younger than Zim? The fact that she was still a trainee when Zim was running around on Devastis makes me think she was younger than him (10+ year smeethood + undetermined amount of time since she took the test + 50 years since Devastis blackout= Tak being 60+, probably older). Zim is canonically older than any living human on Earth, so he's at least 122. (SHOTS FIRED, CHILD X IRKEN SHIPPERS). On the other hand, Tak being older than Zim and Zim's time as a scientist basically counting as college credits allowing him to skip a lot of training and become an Elite before Tak did (despite her being older) is absolutely hilarious.

That would be funny as hell. For college credits, don't you have to.. pass the class? I think that killing your leader and destroying the lab would count as a failed grade.

(doubt) Remember back when we were talking about Miyuki faking her death to escape her position as Tallest? I kinda vibe with that. It would be kind of cool if Zim wasn't lying when he said in The Trial that he is still in contact with her.

They like destruction! Zim has passed ALL the classes! OOC:// I really want Jhonen to be wrong about Zim being older than the Earth, because thinking of an individual life form being several billion years old is causing my brain to break. No thank you Mr. Vasquez.

Imagine reading all of this in Zim's chirpy baby scientist voice. My heart is melting. And yes *Zim Voice* Is Very Effective.

(but no less a jerk) Red has more practical smarts, while Purple is book-smart and better with numbers (he was taking bets down and doing math in Hobo-13, and he remembered the names of several invaders and the armada when Red forgot). But he's also a ditz. That guide book was so accurate.
