I know there are many non-native-English-speakers reading this comic. I hope the Head Death's last line is understandable to all, but just in case:
"You're on," is an idomatic way of saying "I accept your challenge/bet/whatever," with additional emphasis on being pleased to do so.
This is the real danger of the humans-versus-machines dystopian future scenario. Once we program the machines to play better chess and go and other games than any human - we'll never be able to kill them.
