So to realy defeat the game, you need to beat round 10133702. And this means if ever one were to gain this in survival, this would equal to Super-Impoppable or rather universal God mode. Only a Deity or with mods one can defeat the true and actual final round 10133702. And 15:22 is a big twist, the game is a time loop, this is the reason why the war never ends.
Good luck getting that far, considering the only feasible way to get past light-speed, ultra-durable MOABs is by using Legend of the Night's black hole, which Ninja Kiwi has done a good job at nerfing _specifically_ so that people can't just auto win any freeplay round with enough cooldown reduction.

i wonder what those red bloons are thinking when they come back on round 0 (after the round counter gets back down to 0) and they just see all 8 paragons and whatever jumbled monkey mess u have to defeat the 1000-end rounds
Other dangerous rounds that weren't mentioned: Round 4 a lot of dense blue bloons Round 15 Pinks come in layered with all the others Round 36 A lot of pink bloons Round 55 A lot of dense ceramics Round 59 A lot of dense ceramics and then regrow rainbows layered Round 75 A lot of dense BFBs Round 96 A knock off round 98, but denser instead of fortified, and is actually harder than 98 if you buy shattering shells. Round 111 A lot of dense fortified ZOMGs
62 first fortified MOABs 64 several MOABs including fortified ones, coming in quickly, that you always die to because you used all your abilities surviving 63 :p
Blooms is a 32bit application so the limit on the counter is 2,147,483,647 in both directions which is what causes the round overflow. Super normal and happens with tons of applications.
I'm so annoyed that Purple Bloons spawn pinks. If Lead bloons spawn two blacks, purple bloons should spawn two whites! This ALWAYS keeps me awake at night
Quite a philosophical video indeed, especially when the bloons said "its waiting time" and forced me to wait like 3 years for the integer overflow to occur, and then go down to zero, and then the rounds reset
