The End (Part 1) is the first part of the finale of Eddsworld: Legacy. It focuses on the return of Tord.
Plot[]
The gang is driving home after having gone fishing. A blue pufferfish in Matt's fish tank has been eaten by Sir Swimsalot, but then dies as the blue pufferfish puffs up. Matt says that Sir Swimsalot exploded, and asks the gang to go fishing. Tom and Edd then state that they just went fishing. The screen flashes back to the gang fishing and Tom shooting a harpoon gun at a whale. In the car, Edd complains about how Tom sold the sofa to buy the harpoon gun, but Tom simply states that he'll harpoon them a new one.
Once home, Tom is seen carrying harpoons to a nearby room (singing "Harpoons, harpoons, they're better than spoons!"), but before he can enter, he sees a silhouetted figure tampering with a lock. Tom then drops his harpoons in sudden surprise, Edd is also in sudden shock, and Matt is nonchalantly eating a cookie. The figure reveals himself to be none other than Tord. The return of his old roommate annoys Tom, while Edd and Matt are both happy to see him again. Tord states that he's upset for missing all of the many adventures the gang participated on while he was away, so Edd decides that they should redo them, this time with Tord being part of it.
Throughout the montage of them doing their adventures (25ft Under the Seat, MovieMakers, Space Face, and many others off-screen), Tord constantly harms Tom. When the gang returns home, Tord asks if he can have his old room back, which now belongs to Tom. Tom loses his temper, tosses the couch at the wall and storms out of the house after yelling at Tord about how he can take his room and that Edd's house was too crowded anyway. Eduardo sarcastically remarks on how happy Tom looks, with Jon not picking up on the sarcasm, as Mark relaxes on the couch that has landed on their backyard.
Edd suggests to go after Tom, but Tord manages to persuade Edd to stay at home and relax while he's there. Matt asks Tord if he wants to see his novelty toy collection, and the latter follows up by saying they should stay up all night watching Return of the Insane Zombie Pirates from Hell IV. The animation ends with Edd remarking "Just like old times!" and Tord responding with "Yes! Just like old times...", before closing the curtains with an evil smile on his face.

Animatic Differences[]
- When Edd said he had an idea, the camera didn't zoom in on him.
- During the scene when they recreate the adventure from MovieMakers, Tord has a cigar in his mouth.
- The scene where Matt checks the script was added to the finished project.
- The second chair that Tord throws on Tom had a pillow and speakers attached to it.
Errors[]
- When Tom's harpoon gun is revealed, Matt's fishing rod clips through the boat.
- When Tord says "I hope you don't mind me letting myself in", part of his hair disappears mid-sentence.
- Matt seems to wear his green overcoat in the MovieMakers reference scene. In the next shot, he only wears his purple hoodie. This is a colouring error, since Matt has the same kind of sleeves (lacking the overcoat's flares) on both shots.
- When Tom says "You want my room, take it! This place is too crowded anyway!", his hoodie is miscoloured.
In-Jokes[]
The flashback scene mirrors the opening scene of Hammer and Fail (Part 2).
- During the intro, there's a series of pictures that recreate moments from Hello Hellhole, Spares, Moving Targets, Zombeh Attack, Zombeh Nation, Tord's Adventure, The Dudette Next Door, Ruined and Zombeh Attack 3. They were drawn by Marc Lovallo.
- The music used during the intro is a remix of "Edd's Crappy Song", which was made by Edd Gould in 2007.
- The pictures also appear over blueprints for what appears to be a giant robot.
- A picture of Matt and Tord is seen hanging on the wall behind them. The same photo was in Trick or Threat, and a female version was seen in Mirror Mirror.
- The first shot of the gang in the kitchen mirrors the first shot of Hammer & Fail Parts 1 and 2. Tom and Edd are even in the exact same positions. In this sequence, Edd is eating a bowl of Eddsworld Cereal ("now with real cereal!") and Matt is eating a plate of ribs, a reference to Comic 113.
- On the wall of Easter eggs in Matt's room, there are tons of references to previous animations:
- Climate Change - the knick knacks, the TVs, the fan, the power strips
- Zanta Claws III - the Matt ornament, Zanta's guitar
- Xmas Day - the picture of Matt admiring a toaster, the picture of a fan, a bottle of Cheapo Cola
- MovieMakers - the camera, the microphone, the UFO, the "Cast Auditions" sign, an army hat, the "Matt on Matt Action" DVD, Shoe, Don't Mug Me Mug
- WTFuture - a pair of 3D glasses, Matt's pictures, Edg's club, a stone tablet with Matt on it, Future Tom's time travel device, the King Matt portrait
- Space Face - the laser gun, the healer gun, a can of space beer, the aliens from Zorgophos 7 (labeled Jack and Dean, a reference to their voice actors), the zapping stick, Edd's marker
- Fun Dead - the windup monkey, Edd's roller coaster photo, a map of asdfland, the evil mop
- 25ft Under the Seat - Tom's fish helmet, the security photo, a squid tentacle, Matt's keys
- Mirror Mirror - the sword
- Zanta Claws II - half the head of an explosive caroler
- A Tomee Bear
- Edd Again - the Matt doll
- PowerEdd - the dartboard
- Date Night - the killer socks and the can of radioactive waste
- Matt Sucks - the Matt bat, a wooden stake
- Hammer & Fail (parts 1 and 2) - a hard hat, the Mellow Pages phone book, the blueprints, the "antique" lamp
- Hide and Seek - the muffin, a box
- Zombeh Nation - The "When you're good, you're me" picture
- Fan Service - Tom's dog
- When Mark sitting on the sofa is seen, a bag of groceries is shown leaning against it, referencing his numerous cameo appearances in Fun Dead.
- Eduardo is drinking from a cup filled with some sort of radioactive substance, referencing PowerEdd.
- After Tom leaves, Matt suggests Tord sees his novelty toy collection from Fun Dead.
- Tord suggests they stay up and watch Return of the Insane Zombie Pirates from Hell 4, the direct sequel to the movie he suggests they watch in Hello Hellhole.
References to other media[]
- When the gang goes underwater, the character Temmie (based on background artist Temmie Chang) from Undertale can be seen lying in the background.

Also, in the related videos section, famous YouTubers such as I Hate Everything, h3h3productions, GradeAUnderA, and TearofGrace appear. The IHE video is called [DELETED], a reference to the various copyright-related issues the channel has faced.
- The GameCube is under the TV in the living room.
