Even if the final seasons of The Walking Dead (which ended in November 2022 after a 12-year run) didn’t really impress, we have to admit that in its heyday, the famous post-apocalyptic adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s work is a regular. He offered anthological moments to his fans.

From the cruel and merciless first episode, The Walking Dead has actually shocked its viewers many times and over the years, for example, when facing the cruel governor or during the brief stay of the protagonists in the terminal.

But the scene that traumatized every fan without exception, the scene that marked television history, the scene that we quote for the first time to think for more than a second, is the end of season 6.

Indeed, at the end of the last episode titled last day on earthRick and his companions find themselves in a more desperate situation than ever, and the season ends on an absolutely masterful cliffhanger.

If you haven’t seen the series yet, I suggest you skip and don’t read the rest of the article.

In the face of Negan

Therefore, at the end of season 6, episode 16. Convinced that they prefer the Saviors – a new group of unknown survivors who have recently caused them problems – Rick and his friends gradually lose confidence.

After being forced to turn back several times when they encountered roadblocks set up by a rival gang, they are now forced to advance on foot, through the middle of the woods and in the middle of the night. Mysterious whistling sounds can be heard all around and the tension is rising.

Suddenly, the spotlights turn on and the heroes find themselves surrounded by a veritable army of Saviors. Rick, Daryl, Eugene, Carl, Abraham, Glenn, Maggie, Rosita, Michonne, Sacha and Aaron are forced to kneel before their attackers, then prepare to face their most formidable enemy: the terrifying Negan.

The latter emerges from his trailer whistling, wearing a leather jacket and carrying a baseball bat surrounded by barbed wire. Angry at the residents of Alexandria, who destroyed several of his men, Negan tells Rick that he is going to use his staff to randomly impale one of the group.

Who did Negan kill?

In front of the horrified gazes of his captors, Negan begins the count and ends up beating his victim to death. Who is ? It’s impossible to guess as the camera switches to first person in the final seconds of the episode. So viewers will be asking themselves the question for more than 6 months before Season 7 airs.

This excruciating wait, which hundreds of theories and heated discussions on social networks tried in vain to alleviate, ended in October 2016, in an episode named in vain. The day will come when you will be gone.

That’s why we learned that Negan killed Abraham at the end of Season 6. But unfortunately, the surprise did not stop there. For the evil despot’s bat also fell on Glenn’s head without warning. A truly traumatic twist for all The Walking Dead fans.
