User blog:KillRoy231/Did Buffy kill The First?

So, I finally finished Season 7 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I was wondering, did Buffy kill The First? We see Buffy slowly stand up and swing her scythe where The First was last seen in front of her.

Now I know plenty of you are going to say he survived because he's not a physical being. But does the scythe have the power to kill The First?

Willow said The First is "scrunched", I don't know if that's supposed to mean he's dead or simply trapped below what used to be the Hellmouth. Many have argued the latter since The First is a manifestation of all evil and if it dies, which it can't, then there would be no more evil left, and obviously that can't have happened because there's still evil in Season 5 of Angel (which I plan on watching someday)
