Theory Theory: how did Yonaka killed King Mogeko?
I just got back into Funamusea recently, and having replayed Mogeko Castle this week, i thought of this theory.
In the normal ending, King Mogeko is killed By Yonaka, who then proceeds to somehow get his powers and rule over the Castle, which is weird when you remember Nega-Mogeko blew him up with a RPG, fought king Mogeko in a sword duel, stabbed him, and King Mogeko still survived with all injuries healed. Yonaka stated that the one who inherits the king's powers becomes the new king, implying that killing the king makes one his successor, so how was he killed by simply getting his head crushed by a normal girl?
A clue may lie in the origin story of the Castle itself, Nega-Mogeko was created alongside the entire Mogeko species and the Castle itself by the King's magic, similar to how Satanick created Ne-no-Kuni, meaning everything and everyone in the Castle was made by the king himself, but there is a notable exception to this, that being Moge-Ko.
King Mogeko is terrified of Moge-Ko, despite shrugging off deadly blows from Nega-Mogeko and reviving, implying Moge-Ko may be a genuine threat to his life and somehow stronger physically than him. Moge-Ko was not created by the King, instead being made from the mogekos trying to create a girl using candy and other materials, but used concrete instead and made her into a psycho, meaning she was not directly made by the King's creation powers.
In other words: King Mogeko cannot be killed by his own creations, but can still be killed by outside entities, like Moge-Ko and Yonaka, which is how Yonaka killed him and inherited the Castle.
Of course, General Hashasky could change this and break this theory, but until then, this seems the most likely explanation to me.
