Yeah, Idk man apparently I've been told zero is like not real in math and stuff and that it only exists as a border between the negatives and the positives and other math stuff. Also zero is the only number that's both real and imaginary I've been told so that's crazy.

Mathematics represent fundamental laws of the universe, so they are real. Numbers are a human invention to help us understand and follow math. You could argue that numbers in general aren't real.

Unless you mean that 0 isn't real because it represents an absence? In which case you could argue that the colour black isn't real, because it represents the absence of colour.

Or maybe you mean that 0 isn't real because you can't divide by it without breaking your calculator? Though that would more be an argument that infinity isn't real.

Regardless... we can all agree that absence is a part of mathematics and that 0 is the number that represents it.

Well black doesn't exist in Cave Story.

That image isn't in the game, if u put that image in the game then all the black will become transparent which will make the background become a very dark shade of blue.

This image is a edit of game's intro, there's no any substantial difference besides element distribution between the two images (maybe in color values but I didn't notice anything in a quick test) For me, it's still black; that's still a representation of the color black. There are other examples in the game.
