How Does Time Travel Work In OK K.O.?

About

This article is not AI generated. The goal of this article is to explain how time travel works in the "OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes!" universe. I have not seen every episode of the series, so my assessment of how time travel works in the series is based on the few examples of it that I've seen so far.

Why Should You Care About How Time Travel Works

Understanding how time travel works in the series can help you better understand time travel centric episodes that might otherwise be confusing. If you want to write OK K.O. fan fiction that features time travel that is accurate to what is presented in the show, it is important to know how time travel in the show actually works. I personally find breaking down how fictional time travel systems work to be a rather fascinating pastime.

I hope that you are intrigued and entertained by this article. 

How To Time Travel

Time capsules are a form of special technology from the future used by the Hue Troop to travel through time. In order to activate a time capsule, all you have to do is throw it to the ground. Once thrown the time capsule opens up and spawns a flat, shimmering, vertically standing, rectangular portal that can be used to travel forward or backward through time.

How Is Memory Affected By Time Travel

Characters seem to remember the events of both the unaltered and altered timeline (even characters who didn't time travel seem to remember events from the unaltered timeline). I am not entirely sure why this is the case, but in the Red Action trilogy of episodes that focus on time travel this always seems to be a factor.

Are There Alternate Timelines

K.O. in the episode "Red Action 3: Grudgement Day" says that alternate timelines don't exist. This implies that any change made to the timeline via time travel doesn't create a split timeline and instead just alters the history of the main timeline.

Conclusion

You can time travel to the past or the future in the OK K.O. verse by throwing a time capsule against the ground to open a rectangular time portal. People for whatever reason will remember both the events of the altered and unaltered timeline. There are no alternate timelines as all changes made to history just affect the main timeline and do not the split the timeline.

I hope you had a fun time reading this article and that you learned something new about the series.
