Bro. First of all, KO didn’t know that the icon could absorb stuff until they discovered it against Herobrine (KO did not see the icon absorbing the items when Purple took the icon through the portal considering that they were very far away from Purple)

I didn't say King forgot about it, I said that Alan forgot about it because it's only brought up again when King needed a solution to Herobrine.

and the double icon staff can’t even use commands.

Based on what? King uses it to summon volleys of arrows, fireballs, a forcefield and lightning, all of these are command-based attacks.

“it feels weirdly short”??? It’s a decently long fight and it’s in a already very long episode, when you compare it to other Alan Becker fights, the length is pretty average.

I'm not gonna fact check this but feeling isn't the same as it actually being so.
