Ben 10 Omniverse Season 6 Review
But then, the final scene. In the void between dimensions, Maltruant’s head—still functional—is drifting. A shadowy, familiar figure picks it up. It is (the alternate-dimension Ben from Ben 10: Race Against Time ), or rather, a being claiming to be the original Ben Tennyson from a timeline where he never took the watch off. He whispers, “The Forge of Creation is unguarded... and the Chrono Navigator is almost complete.”
What follows is a time-jumping, dimension-hopping chase that feels like Doctor Who on a sugar rush. Ben and Rook chase Maltruant through the beginning of time, the end of time, and into the "Contumelia" realm—the domain of the mysterious, jellyfish-like beings responsible for creating universes. Every long-running Ben 10 series needs a defining final transformation. For Omniverse , that alien is Feedback . Introduced as Ben’s favorite alien (a living electric conduit), Feedback was the form Ben lost to Malware in a traumatic flashback, leading him to temporarily give up being a hero. Season 6 brings the character full circle.
For those who grew up with Ben, Season 6 offered a chance to say goodbye. It honored the past, lived wildly in the present, and (despite the cliffhanger) looked toward an infinite future. It was the end of a universe, but as Ben himself says in his final line of dialogue: “Don’t worry. There’s always another timeline.” ben 10 omniverse season 6
But the true genius lies in the episode “Malgax Attacks” when Ben is forced to temporarily ally with a past version of Vilgax—one from before his descent into madness—to stop his future self. This leads to a heartbreaking moment of self-reflection where the younger Vilgax looks at what he will become and is visibly disturbed. It’s a rare moment of pathos for the squid-faced tyrant, suggesting that the desire for the Omnitrix isn’t just greed—it’s an addiction that destroys the soul.
It understands that at its core, Ben 10 is not about the aliens or the fights. It’s about a kid from Bellwood who, when faced with the end of everything, doesn’t run. He puts up his dukes, slaps the watch, and says, “It’s hero time.” But then, the final scene
And for the fans, that’s enough.
In the climactic battle against Maltruant at the literal edge of creation, the Omnitrix is failing. Ben has lost his connection to the watch. But through sheer willpower and his bond with Rook, he doesn’t just transform into Feedback—he becomes Feedback. Using the alien’s ability to absorb and redirect limitless energy, Ben catches the explosion of the Annihilarrgh itself. For a full minute of screen time, there is no dialogue—just Feedback screaming as he holds the power of a dying universe in his hands, channeling it back at Maltruant. It is arguably the single most heroic feat any version of Ben has ever performed. Maltruant is defeated, but the Annihilarrgh detonates. The universe ends. In a moment of pure Omniverse audacity, the Contumelia appear. They reveal that Ben’s actions—holding back the blast—created a "data seed." As a new universe crystallizes into existence, Ben is given a choice: let it form naturally or guide it. It is (the alternate-dimension Ben from Ben 10:
In the sprawling, ever-expanding tapestry of the Ben 10 franchise, few entries have been as polarizing, visually daring, or narratively ambitious as Ben 10: Omniverse . Spanning eight story arcs across 80 episodes, the series concluded its run not with a whimper, but with a bang—specifically, the eight-episode block designated as Season 6 (sometimes referred to as the final volume of the series). For fans who weathered the tonal shifts and the introduction of rookie partner Rook Blonko, Season 6 offered a grand, time-bending finale that paid homage to everything that came before while closing the book on the classic continuity.
The arc concludes not with Ben destroying Malgax, but with the original, un-corrupted Vilgax sacrificing himself (or so it seems) to seal the fusion away. It is a definitive, emotional end to the Vilgax saga that began in the original 2005 series. Season 6 also refuses to forget Ultimate Alien . Sir George, the immortal knight who wielded Ascalon, returns in “The Knight’s Code” . The episode deals with the consequences of Ben’s earlier decision to trust George. Now aged and weary, George passes the mantle of the Forever Knights’ true purpose (protecting Earth from extradimensional threats) to Rook’s father, a brilliant but non-combative Plumber. It’s a clever inversion of expectations—the future of chivalry isn’t a warrior, but a scholar and a leader. A New Dawn: The Ultimate Road Trip The final four episodes, collectively known as “A New Dawn,” represent the most ambitious storytelling Omniverse ever attempted. The plot is deceptively simple: Maltruant, a Chronosapien (clockwork alien) who has been a background puppet master throughout the series, finally acquires the "Annihilarrgh"—a universe-destroying bomb. His goal isn't just destruction; it’s to rewind time to the "Primus," the zero moment before creation, and rebuild the universe in his own image.
The new universe is... almost identical to the old one. Grandpa Max, Gwen, Kevin, and everyone is back, with no memory of the destruction. But there is one change: The Omnitrix is recalibrated one last time, and Ben finally, truly earns the title of "Hero of Heroes."
Humbly, Ben steps back. He lets the universe be born without his interference. The Contumelia leave, remarking that this "Ben" was the most interesting iteration they had met—a direct nod to the multiverse.
