Why exactly did Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) kill Christopher Moltisanti (Michael Imperioli) in The Sopranos season 6? In one of The Sopranos' final episodes, «Walk Like a Man,» the long-time friends joke around with each other and appear to be on good terms, despite some conflict to resolve with their associate Paulie Gualtieri (Tony Sirico). However, the inherent vices of the underworld soon catch up with Christopher, which leads to a shocking early-episode moment in «Kennedy and Heidi.» Curiously, the background of Tony Soprano and Christopher Moltisanti's relationship is revealed in The Many Saints of Newark, HBO's Sopranos prequel movie. Moreover, Christopher narrates The Many Saints of Newark as a disembodied voice from hell, while the character also appears onscreen as a baby. Although The Many Saints of Newark is focused on Dickie Moltisanti (Alessandro Nivola) and a teenaged Tony Soprano (Michael Gandolfini), Christopher Moltisanti's death in Sopranos season 6 haunts the DiMeo crime family even in the past.
