Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Ending Explained: “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off” is an anime adaptation of the 2010 Scott Pilgrim movies and Graphic Novel. The anime version isn’t a complete adaptation of the movie because the stories are different in the movie and anime.
I like the anime more as it really did a good job at redeeming every character. “Scott Pilgrim vs The World” was more focused on Scott Pilgrim rather than other characters, but in the anime, everyone got to shine and redeem themselves, from Evil Exes to Scott’s high school girlfriend. “Scott Pilgrim vs The World” also connects with the anime in a big way.
Who Kidnapped Scott Pilgrim?
Scott Pilgrim, a 23-year-old guy, meets Ramona Flowers, a girl who had an unpleasant past. Ramona’s past relationships weren’t good enough, or you can say it was Ramona’s fault. On the other hand, Scott wasn’t a saint; he was like Ramona, running away from relationships.
Scott was jobless, but he and his friends have an indie-rock band called Sex Bob-omb. Sex Bob-omb has three members apart from Scott: Stephen Stills, the songwriter and leader of the group; Kim Pine, ex-girlfriend of Scott and the drummer; and Young Neil, the roommate of Stephen Stills, so he was also part of the group. Scott was also dating a 16-year-old high school girl, Knives Chu. Scott doesn’t have any interest in the relationship, but he also couldn’t say no to Knives.

After meeting Ramona, he invites her to see their band perform in a competition. The performance was stopped after Matthew Patel, an evil ex of Ramona, interfered. Matthew Patel tells Scott about Ramona’s League of Evil Exes, seven evil exes of Ramona teamed up to fight with Ramona’s new love interest. Scott was the love interest of Ramona, so the evil exes now had to fight with Scott. In the fight, Matthew Patel killed Scott; that’s what everyone thought.
Ramona heard Scott’s voice in her dream and looked at the club’s CCTV footage. She saw a portal opening between the fight and taking Scott. Ramona’s first suspects were her evil exes and Scott’s ex-girlfriend Kim Pine. As she researched, she didn’t find any strong evidence. Ramona saw a robot in the club when Scott went missing, and according to her, it was the Katayanagi Twins. But she was wrong; it was none other than Scott Pilgrim himself.
