There is an unfortunate news. Our beloved Cisco Ramon, The Vibe, awesome character played by Carlos Valdes is saying good bye to The Flash after this season 5 ends.
It is currently not 100% confirmed, but the rumor is that it will be his last season. The show as it is unfolding, also suggests that Cisco would be exiting the show.
The first reason, which i have also been thinking about for long, is his personal life. When gypsy went away, he got sad and started to lose the emotions, and he has never been better again.
Cisco was unwilling to live on Earth-19 as a Breacher, and Cynthia was unwilling to move to Cisco’s earth. They visit each other for some time, but finally decided that their relationship is not going anywhere.
Since then, Cisco is having a hard time living his life the normal way.
What is Gypsy appears again? Gypsy might be missing Cisco too. And this time, it is highly possible that Cisco decides to move on in life, and leave Earth-1 for Gypsy.
Another reason i could think of is the tension when Cicada apparently killed Cisco.
This is not the first time Cisco was dead. Eobard has killed him before. There is a fear in him, that some day, some villain will just kill him like that.
It was too easy for Cicada to trap the vibe. The team Flash was left astonished when they first thought that Cisco is gone. I think, Barry would never refuse to save Cisco and give away his own life.
If Cisco remains staying like this, with low emotions, no enthusiasm, and no much interest in life, it is possible that the team Flash say goodbye to Cisco for good.
The other reason, which is most recent, and highly possible, is the use of Metahuman Cure that Cisco and Caitlin have been developing.
We all agree that Cisco has seen enough already. He has been dead several times, he lost the love of his life, he lost his brother, he was betrayed by his mentor, the fake HR Wells, and it is easy for him to say that his meta capabilities have been a curse for him instead of a blessing.
What if he decides to use the metahuman cure on himself, and stop being Vibe. He might then leave Earth-1 to join Gypsy, and might just even resign from Star Labs.
Barry is about to go missing, if the future is not changed. What else Cisco has to bear? He might decide that this is enough for him, and might not want to face another tragedy.
What would be the show like if Cisco leaves?
Personally, i would be deeply saddened. He will be missed. And i hope he doesn’t leave the show like this. The season 6 would be bringing new villains, and i’m sure they will be able to change the future and save Barry from being disappeared.
Cisco is here for now. Let’s enjoy the show. They know that Cisco is the key character, and losing him would not be good for the ratings.
