Profundo chokes and stabs Black Noir 2 on podcast
Black Noir 2, played by Nathan Mitchell, met his end after a long feud with Profundo. The character, who took up the mantle after the original version’s death at the hands of Capitão Pátria in season three, has paid dearly for recent teases. Ele had destroyed a pipeline in Alasca with initial support from Profundo, causing an environmental disaster with over a billion dead fish.

The body was left lying on the sound table. The sequence leaves Profundo in a panic, fleeing the scene shortly afterwards. The rivalry that had been building since previous episodes culminated in a definitive and bloody way.
- The death occurred suddenly during a live discussion.
- Profundo acted on impulse after provocation from Black Noir 2.
- The episode reinforces that no one is safe in the final stretch of the series.
