Ed Edd n Eddy Purgatory Theory

By Aaron Wong

The next conspiracy is the Ed Edd n Eddy Purgatory Theory, which states that everyone in the neighborhood actually died in a different time period and was sent to roam the cul-de-sac of Peach Creek Estates, the land they once lived in their former life. This theory is quite interesting because behind a innocent and happy setting, there lies each characters dark and gloomy past.




  • The first to die was Rolf, a son of a Shepard who lived with his family at their farm. Not only was he the first to die, he was the first to live in the land that would be later known as the cul-de-sac. In 1903, Rolf was trampled to death by his bull who broke out of its cage.  He took his farm animals even after death and still takes care of them and his farming duties on a daily basis.


  •  Right after Rolfs death Johnny and his family moved into the farm that Rolf's family used to own. In an attempt to compensate for the lack of friends and abundance of free time he had, Johnny created Plank, who would stay with him for the rest of his life. After years of fighting tuberculosis Johnny died in 1922 and took his friend Plank with him in the afterlife.


  • Eddy was born in New York but moved to the neighborhood in 1932 as it had begun to start forming from many families moving into the land. Because it was during the Great Depression, Eddy became a schemer in order to get away from the sad truth that he was living in. However, in 1939, it inevitably brought him to his death when he drowned in a river while trying to run away from a group of children that were trying to get revenge on Eddy after falling for his trickery.


  • Sarah and Ed were born in the late 40's when the cul-de-sac started to take form from the popular preplanned developments in the post war era. While growing up in WW2, they had different ways of escaping the brutal reality of a working mother who was never home and a dead GI. Sarah become controlling in order to let everyone know that she was the one who was in charge. On the other hand, Ed shut out from the world and got involved in comics and movies. Their death was caused by a car accident while driving to their grandparents house.         


  •  A flower child, Nazz was born in the 60's during the hippie era. Growing up as a beautiful girl, she always flirted with the boys and lived carelessly. However, in the summer of 1979, a serial killer escaped from an asylum and broke into Nazz's house. Her whole family was murdered after Nazz was raped and killed. In the afterlife Nazz chose to completely forget about her family which is why she does anything she wants because she has no parental figure.


  • Edd was born under two controlling parents who even after his death, greatly influenced his life. He followed their footsteps intellectually but became rather shy and timid. In 1986, a gas leak occurred while Edd was experimenting and caused an explosion which blew him and his house altogether.


  •  Kevin was born on the day of Edd's death from a drunken and abusive father. In order to relieve his stress caused by his father, he bullied other children. In 1999 Kevin tried to stand against his father, but was beaten and died while getting transported to the hospital. In Kevin's afterlife, Kevin altered his dad's personality to be a loving and caring one. However, Kevin still retains his bullying tendencies. 


  • Jimmy was the last to join the kids when he died from leukemia in 2000. Before his death, Jimmy lived in Kevin's old house under his over protective parents, who never let him out to play with the kids. As his days passed by, Jimmy stayed in his small bedroom fighting with his illness.




  • The Kanker sisters, however, are daughters of the devil sent from hell to torture the lost souls. This is very possible because they have an ability to show up anywhere in an instant, and are able to overpower the children. Their attraction to the Eds may be because that they have the weakest wills out of all the children in the neighborhood.
