Who Killed Mr. Krabs and How Did He Die in SpongeBob? The Shocking Truth Revealed!

Like many others, I’m a big fan of Spongebob Squarepants. For generations, people have adored the little yellow sponge since the show first aired. This essay, however, takes a closer look into the mystery surrounding Mr. Krabs’ death—who was responsible, what caused it, and ultimately, did Spongebob have a hand in it? Let’s explore!

Now before you go crazy and start looking for any “who killed Mr. Krabs” episode online. Please be assured that there is neither an official Nickelodeon cartoon of this gibberish nor an episode titled “How Did Mr. Krabs Die and Who Killed Him?”

This widely circulated online rumor is based on a mock trial called The Trial of Spongebob Squarepants, which was a class assignment in which the students were split up into legal teams. Each team was given the task of proving SpongeBob’s guilt or his innocence.

Let’s play along with this mock trial and find out what murdered Mr. Krabs. I’ll go into more detail about the school class assignment and how you can conduct this for your own classroom later.

What Caused Mr. Krabs’ Death

Inside the Krusty Krab restaurant, Mr. Krabs (from Spongebob Squarepants) was discovered dead. There was a cut on his throat (can crabs have throats? hehe).

The coroner came to the conclusion that Mr. Krabs had a severe cut on his neck and that the metal spatula that was discovered close to the body was the source of the wound on his throat.

The Trial of Spongebob Squarepants Crime Scene: Who Killed Mr. Krabs?

The amusing crime scene mockup image above demonstrates that the spatula did, in fact, have multiple sets of fingerprints on it, including those of Mr. Krabs, SpongeBobs, and Squidward.

We now know how Mr. Krabs died, so let’s move on to the most crucial point in this fictitious trial: who killed Mr. Krabs?

Who was Mr. Krabs’ killer?

Patrick and SpongeBob are prime suspects.
Who, then, murdered Mr. Krabs? SpongeBob, Squidward Plankton, and Patrick were the four primary suspects in the case.

An Overview of the Mr. Krabs Murder Scene

The Krusty Krab restaurant’s proprietor, Mr. Krabs, passed away, shocking the community of Bikini Bottom. The underwater cops suspected foul play as soon as they saw the horrific scene.

They initially believed the murderer would be Sheldon Plankton, Mr. Krabs’s longtime competitor and owner of the Chum Bucket restaurant. However, Plankton could not be linked to any tangible proof.

As the investigation went on, more and more evidence suggested that SpongeBob SquarePants was one of Mr. Krabs’ employees.

SpongeBob maintains his innocence. Although the government doesn’t believe Mr. SquarePants’s assertions, he has located a group of defense attorneys who agree. Indeed, some of the data does seem to support the possibility that SpongeBob’s claim is accurate.

This appears to be the trial of the underwater century, regardless of what actually occurred!

By reading Spongebob Squarepants’ entire trial, you may decide who killed Mr. Krabs. Plankton was acting a bit too fishy, in my opinion, but that’s just my opinion.

Spongebob Squarepants’ Trial

As previously stated, this all began with a class assignment in which the students were split up into legal teams, each of which was tasked with proving SpongeBob’s guilt or innocence based on either the prosecution or defense.

The evidence from the crime site, the evidence from the suspects, and the witness testimony are broken down below.

Evidence from the Crime Scene Shows Who Killed Mr. Krabs

The evidence from the crime scene is broken down as follows:

• The body of Mr. Krabs was discovered within the Krusty Krab eatery. Someone had slit his throat. The coroner came to the conclusion that a metal spatula was the source of Mr. Krabs’ throat wound.
• In addition to being coated in Mr. Krabs’ blood, the Krusty Krab’s floor was extremely slippery due to frying oil; as a result, multiple crime scene detectives stumbled and fell while doing their investigations.
• Along with the footsteps of numerous other persons, SpongeBob’s tracks were discovered scattered throughout the oily floor surrounding Mr. Krab’s body. The blood puddle did not contain his tracks.
• The establishment showed no signs of a break-in.
• Mr. Krab’s finger had a small cut, but it had healed somewhat. Investigators determined that this cut occurred a few weeks prior to Mr. Krab’s passing.

Suspect Evidence: Patrick, Squidward, SpongeBob, and Plankton

• Plankton has a lengthy history of attempting to steal Mr. Krabs’ proprietary recipes and disrupt his restaurant.
• Investigators discovered traces of Mr. Krabs’ blood on a spatula inside SpongeBob’s house. SpongeBob’s and Mr. Krabs’ fingerprints were on the spatula handle.
• Plankton started selling a crab burger recipe on his website, www.chumbucket.ocean, three days after Mr. Krabs passed away. Although it wasn’t exactly the same, the recipe was quite similar to Mr. Krabs’ Krabby Patty recipe.
• Investigators searched Plankton’s house but were unable to locate any spatulas or the recipe for Krabby Patties.
• Other than Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob was the only one with restaurant keys and the safe’s combination.
• Plankton went to the bank two days after Mr. Krabs passed away to settle SpongeBob’s remaining pineapple house loan balance. According to Plankton, he acted with good intentions.

Statement of The Witness

• According to SpongeBob’s testimony, Mr. Krabs sliced his finger on a spatula by mistake two weeks before to his passing. SpongeBob promised to take it home to clean it, but he neglected to return it to the eatery.
• For years, SpongeBob has been employed at the Krusty Krab eatery.
• He has never been given a raise in all that time.
• The formula for Mr. Krab’s Krabby Patty was not discovered in his open safe.
• The cash register at Krusty Krab was absolutely empty.
• Beside the body, a spatula was discovered. Mr. Krab’s blood was all over it, but so was everything else. SpongeBob’s, Squidward’s, and Mr. Krab’s fingerprints were among the several sets found on the spatula.

Who killed Mr. Krabs now that you have all the proof and information from Spongebob Squarepants’ trial? Is SpongeBob responsible for Mr. Krabs’ death?

To sum up, is SpongeBob guilty?

It’s up to you! Since it was a straightforward assignment that a teacher completed with their class, there is no verdict in this case. I believe it was Plankton, and SpongeBob is not at fault!
