Here's a blog about Tirek, with various polls about him. I think you might want to take this poll, SonictheHedgehog

If you want - and I'm only saying this again because someone else suggested it - you can even think that Tirek WAS destroyed, because where was he imprisoned? Tartarus. A.k.a. hell. Maybe the ones in cages are the dead ones. Maybe Chrysalis and Sombra have cages in Tartarus too. (I'd have liked it if in the "endless play mode" of Super Paper Mario you could find Dimentio as a Shayde in the underworld, but Jaydes probably sent him below by the time Mario returns) Or you could still go with the Cerberus theory since it seems more brutal than just being vaporized like Sombra was.

But either way, he's still in a "nightmare dimension" that previously weakened him so much it took him two and a half seasons to recover, and even then he was in a frail state before he began absorbing magic.
