I thought my sacrifice would mean something. That I could erase the Reverse Flash from existence. That, finally, I could be a hero. But then Eobard Thawne came back, again, and again, and again, and again. What I did didn't matter at all. I died for nothing, and now you've made the same mistake.

Trivia
- Deathstorm makes Barry remember many tragic events of his life, including:
- The death of his father at the hands of Zoom in "Invicible";
- H.R. Wells dying in his arms in "Finish Line";
- Pre-Crisis Nora West-Allen being erased from existence in "Legacy";
- Both Oliver Queen's deaths from the Supergirl episode, "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part One" and from the Arrow episode, "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Four";
- Nash Wells sacrificing himself to create the Artificial Speed Force in "All's Wells That Ends Wells".
- Deathstorm states to have been born during the "blackest of nights". This is another reference to the Blackest Night event which marked Deathstorm's first appearance in the comics.
- Eddie Thawne's illusion mentions Uncle Robern. This is a reference to Robern Thawne who is Eobard Thawne's brother in the comics.
- He was also referenced in the Armageddon Timeline as Iris and Thawne's party was taking place at Robern's.
