So hi there, I'm BlackJackPack but you could call me Paul for short and I'm here to answer some of the questions people have been asking about Season Four and more. I've been meaning to do this for a while but I thought I'd wait till the season officially finished airing here in Canada and since it has now, here I am. But before I start, here's a bit of a recap on the series:

Season One (39 episodes long) and Season Two (a trilogy, 7 episodes long) were produced by Nerd Corps Entertainment, but when Season Three (13 episodes long) came along it was commissioned by Nerd Corps but produced by DHX Media, after DHX bought Nerd Corps. And now there's Season Four (4 episodes long) which was commissioned & produced by DHX, which is why you might notice a sight difference in the graphics.

So First off, What happened to Junjie?[]

Just like Eli Shane, Junjie has duties to serve and protect his home caverns, The Eastern Caverns, so he had to leave the Shane Gang & stay behind.

Does Junjie appear in "Into the Shadows"?[]

No. There's no appearance or any mention of him in the movie, but there were several references to the Eastern Caverns.

Who is this new "Tad" character?[]

Tad is a 13 year old from The Surface who arrives to SlugTerra (The 99 Caverns) for the purpose of finding out where his slug Pieper came from, but he later reveals he's actually Thaddius D. Blakk the son of Dr. Thaddius Blakk and that he actually came to the caverns to claim his inheritance and finish what his father started**, though he constantly points out how much he despises him.

**Tad wanted to ghoul all slugs and rule over The 99 Caverns and beyond--and that includes the Eastern Caverns--and possibly any other existing realms, thanks to Eli pointing out the existence of the Eastern Caverns. Thus cementing his superiority over his father.

What & Who is Pieper?[]

There's no doubt that Pieper is definitely a powerful slug but what is she and where did she come from? Well according to Tad, he saved her from a cat and nursed her back to health but whether that's true or not and how she got to the Surface in the first place remains a mystery. As for her species, if you take a close look at her, sure she might be able to hypnotize slugs but she can't hypnotize non-slug creatures like hypno/trance slugs should, why, because she isn't a trance slug and if she was she wouldn't have exactly be as affective in battle as she was shown to be. She's actually more likely to be a ultra rare & powerful version sonic slugs (Slyrens), a species that uses soundwaves to attack and control, and considering Tad and the Shane Gang have on more than one occasion pointed out her abilities as "songs", its a pretty good bet that she's a type of sonic slug.

Note: She isn't the first ultra rare version of a species:

What was up with the Shadow Clan?[]

Well throughout the movie it seems the Shadow Clan have lost their minds and in my opinion they sort of did.

  • They began gathering slugs in Gateway Cavern but it was for a good reason, which was to keep slugs close to the Guardian Gate located at the bottom of The Great Abyss which was first seen in "What Lies Beneath". But they broke their promise they made with Eli before he left to the Eastern Caverns, which was to also protect (and think about) the people as well.
  • Then they later reveal they felt that Eli abandoned them and the 99 Caverns when he went to the Eastern Caverns, leaving the 99 Caverns unprotected. Which is crazy because Eli put them in charge, and when he came back, they tell him they don't need him anymore.
  • And in the end, the Shadow Clan are the ones seen doing the right things all along, after helping Eli defeat Tad, and afterwards they tell Eli they'll be allies once again but they won't be as trusting moving forward.

Where's Tad now? Is he alive? And was this the last we've seen of him?[]

The Deep Caverns, Yes, and No.

For those of you who haven't seen the official full episodes yet and probably decided to watch the glitchy videos online, you should know that you've missed about 2 minutes of footage after Eli's Birthday celebrations, just like how we saw The Goon & Junjie at the end of "Slugterra: Ghoul from Beyond". After the celebration, Tad is shown unconscious and still falling down the hole but soon we see Pieper catching up to him and transforms and wakes him up using her song, and he pulls out his glider wings to glide to safety. And once they both land, Pieper begins to sing a sad song and Tad tells her "No need for such a sad song Pipes... It's gonna be aright", as they look at the vast bodies of Dark Water.

Will there be a Season Five?[]

Well it's hard to say, there hasn't been any announcements from DHX but Season Four (Into the Shadows) did rise some unanswered questions and has an ending that hints at a continuation.


And well that's it for now. If you have anymore questions, I'll be happy to answer them if I can.
