We solved the mystery How Did Mr Krabs Die in SpongeBob SquarePants.
SpongeBob SquarePants is one of those cartoons that is enjoyed by both children and adults. In the cartoon, for most people their favorite character is SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs on the other hand is not that loved by most folks and we can understand why. But did you know that he died? And today we will solve the mystery of how did Mr Krabs die.
Now if you watch the show then you might be surprised to hear this and may even call it a lie. But if you are a die-hard fan of the show then you know that we are talking about a fan theory here. So today we will solve this fan theory/mystery once and for all and find out the truth.
The full name of Mr. Krabs is Eugene H. Krabs and he is the proprietor of the Krusty Krab restaurant in Bikini Bottom. This is the restaurant where our protagonist SpongeBob works and where the world-famous Krabby Patties are served. Just like in real life Mr. Krabs like most business owners, loves money and will go to great lengths to save money.
His whole personality revolves around this trait of his which makes him a penny-pinching miser and of course his rivalry with Plankton the owner of Chum Bucket, who is after the secret recipe of Krabby Patty and will do anything to steal it.
But this is not the only side of Mr. Krabs, as he also has a soft and caring side, particularly for his daughter Pearl and he also cares about his loyal employee SpongeBob SquarePants. But his obsession with wealth always gets in the way and he ends up as the butt of jokes in many episodes.
So, according to the fan-made theory, Mr. Krabs is found dead under suspicious circumstances in his restaurant Krusty Krab and the question is raised how did Mr Krabs die and who killed him? Despite being a cartoon, the scene of his murder is made out to be quite gruesome with his throat slit and possibly by a spatula that is covered in blood and found near his lifeless body.
But wait for the scene is even messier as there is cooking grease all over the floor, suggesting that there was a struggle and the safe where Mr. Krabs keeps the secret Krabby Patty formula has been burglarized and the formula itself is missing. The murder mystery plot is set and now it is up to us fans to speculate how did Mr Krabs die and who might be his killer.
Now that we know about the crime scene, one thing is for sure, this was not a suicide and Mr. Krabs did not kill himself. So, there must be a killer and the list is long with plenty of names. Some are obvious and some not so much, but let us take a look at them because of fan theories.
SpongeBob is devoted to Mr. Krabs and he loves him in return, so his name in the list must be a mistake, right? Well before you outright dismiss him, consider a few things. Starting with his proximity to the crime scene as he is the fry cook. Secondly, some fans suggest he may have killed Mr. Krabs in a fit of rage, but without any real evidence, this is hard to believe.
For most of us, the answer to the question, how did Mr Krabs die is obvious. It must be Plankton, as he is not only a business rival but he also wants the Krabby Patty formula and we know the formula is stolen. So now that we have a suspect with a motive, did he, do it? Maybe, but without any proof can’t it be argued that he is being framed, especially considering how easy it would be to frame him?
Our next most obvious suspect is Squidward Tentacles, the best friend of SpongeBob SquarePants and another employee of Krabby Patty. He is a cynical cashier whose disdain for both his job and the restaurant is not hidden from anyone. So, this gives him the motive and maybe his anger and disdain finally got to him and he killed Mr. Krabs.
It might be difficult to believe, but the answer to the question of how did Mr Krabs die might even be Pearl as some fans think they make somewhat of a solid argument. They argue that Pearl had financial motives and killed her dad for the inheritance and considering how Mr. Krabs is, he must be loaded with money.
While the murder of Mr. Krabs was horrific, the theory in itself was interesting and certainly made us think. So, are there any other fan theories about the show? Let us find out.
One popular theory suggests that Mr. Krabs is actually involved in illegal activities. According to this theory, the Krusty Krab is a front for some sort of money-laundering scheme or black-market operation, which would explain Mr. Krabs’ obsession with profits and his sometimes-shady business practices.
This theory suggests that Pearl is not actually Mr. Krabs’s daughter and considering one is a crab and the other a whale, it is quite plausible. But this is not where the theory stops, in fact not only does it not stop, but it also gets a lot weirder as it suggests that Mr. Krabs Killed Pearl’s real parents and adopted her. So again, the theory suggests that Mr. Krabs is some kind of criminal or at least has a shady past.
Finding the answer to the question, how did Mr Krabs die in SpongeBob is quite difficult. Yes, we have our fan theories, but that is what they are, only theories. Yes, it might be fun to think of such theories, but ultimately, we cannot prove anything and on a personal note, we as fans should come up with less gory theories.
