#first theory

Hello, neighbors! While I normally do aus and angsty deep dives, I decided that in celebration of the upcoming update I'd post my own little theory that just popped into my head and has become a permanent neighbor.

The more I listen to the the WH audios, the more I'm noticing that Wally kinda fades into the background when he's interacting with others. All the neighbors have different personality's that shine in almost every instance and conversation, even with the most reserved characters like Frank and Poppy. The show's synopsis states that we follow Wally and learn lessons with him but more often or not we are usually following other characters like Sally or Eddie. Homewarming is one of the few audio books that focus on Wally and even then that spotlight is taken from him and thrown onto Eddie in the extended version. In other audio books, Wally's input is even less prominent and sometimes I forget he's even a part of the story. Also worth noting is that Wally's character traits seem very.... subdued.

Each of the neighbors have a trait about them that sticks out, Barnaby's laid back attitude, Frank's need for order and sense, Julie's chaotic style of play, all of these parts of their personality comes through in their action and dialogue while Wally's seem dulled in comparison. If we think about this through a writer or a producer's point of view, it's very unlikely that Wally would be chosen as the front man of the show so why is that the case?

Well, here's where my proposal comes in.

What if Wally wasn't supposed to be the main character?

If we look at main characters for kids shows at the time, most of these characters have traits similar to Julie or Sally; happy, upbeat, and willing to go on an adventure; these are traits that most producers sought in TV shows because they reflected the traits of children. So it seems odd that the creators or producers would pick such a mild character to be their main character

Maybe it wasn't their decision.

I think in the world of Welcome Home, Wally was the quiet painter of the neighborhood that dreamed of being a star. He always wanted Sally to cast him in one of her plays as the lead but Sally never picks him. It doesn't help matters that Wally often feels overshadowed by all his friends when it comes to playing games or deciding what games to play.

Poor Wally just wants to be in the lead just once.

That's where I believe Home comes into play. Home is an other worldly presence that's been watching the neighbors and Wally for a long time and when he sees that Wally is feeling sad, he decides now is the time to strike a deal.

Home promises Wally that he can give him the stardom he craves but Wally will have to do a few favors for Home if he wants to keep it.

killer klown theory below

I think Monty caused Bonnie’s death, BUT WAIT FELLOW MONTY ENJOYERS!!! I think it was an accident on Monty’s part. Also, before we begin please keep in mind that this is my first time posting a theory. So I just want to apologize if I get some details wrong or if I just sound stupid in general. My first reason for this is because I believe that monty idolized bonnie.

If the cutouts in the DLC have some truth to them, then we can assume that before monty was tough gator who liked to rock and roll and was a part of the main band, he was just a chill gator who looked up to the glamrocks, and probably especially bonnie. They also parallel eachother, sort of. (I think that because he and Bonnie have some similarities: the eye color and their instrument.)

I’m assuming the pizzaplex operated normally (or whatever is "normal" for the pizzaplex lol), with the band performing and entertaining around the establishment while Monty sat in gator golf alone, maybe performing his own little concerts for golfers with his own small bass. Suddenly, one day, Monty got lucky and became friends with his idol, Bonnie. The two probably got along fine, and became close.

Now some people won’t believe this and would say that Monty was actually jealous of Bonnie (which could be the reason he killed Bonnie) or even Freddy because of their status/spots in the band, but I don’t think that’s true. Though I can see why others think that. In the gator golf minigame, you can see Freddy in the dumpster that is slightly hidden to the side of the main stage where Monty, Roxy, and chica are performing.

Also, Freddy’s light below his cutout isn’t on during the cutout ride in the RUIN DLC. Monty also takes Freddy’s place in the loading dock ending.

But I don’t believe Monty has control over these things. The first example is in a arcade machine which monty definitely didn’t make. Unless he held the coders captive and made them put Freddy in there, I don’t think he did that.

The second example of the cutout ride is a little harder for me to explain, but it could just be a result of the ruins of the pizzaplex taking effect on the lighting in the ride.

The third example is the loading dock ending, but I feel like I can shut that one down because Monty isn’t fazbear entertainment and he doesn’t have that much power over who chooses his position.

Also, if Monty really was jealous of Freddy or Bonnie and really wanted power in the band to the point where he would kill one of the members, I think he would go for freddy, the leader of the band. I’ve heard others say that Monty went for Bonnie’s spot first just to get at Freddy, but that doesn’t make sense. Monty would want to go straight to the top, which is Freddy. Even if it was dangerous and would make people suspicious he would still do it cause he’s pretty dumb.

This is why I think the evidence of Monty hating freddy is actually just another thing from fazbear entertainment. I believe that ever since bonnie disappeared and Monty was put in his place, the company is starting to set up these things to give customers the idea that freddy and Monty are rivals, or frenemies. I think fazbear entertainment are trying to make Freddy and Monty the new main “Duo” of the pizzaplex, or maybe even in future faz-ent schemes, just like how Freddy and Bonnie were in earlier generations. (Fredbear & Spring-Bonnie, Funtime Freddy & Bon-Bon) MAYBE they recognized this could help the company move away from the stigma of earlier times by creating a new duo.

They took advantage of Bonnie’s disappearance.

But that’s just stretching it a little, and I’m getting off track. Basically, Monty isn’t jealous of Freddy nor Bonnie. He has no reason to as far as I’m concerned, and it doesn’t give him a reason to kill Bonnie or Freddy. Unless he’s, like, jealous of what those two have going on.. then I doubt it. And as much as how fun it would be to write about that, I would be diving into heavy fan-fiction territory.

Now, onto how I believe Bonnie died, and how I think his body was moved back to that secluded area in Bonnie bowl you see in the RUIN DLC.

I’m guessing that at 4:12 AM, when Bonnie headed to gator golf, he wanted to just hang out with his friend after staying in the east arcade for a bit. (He stayed in the arcade for a little over an hour and a half.)

Bonnie and Monty then decided to just stand around at the catwalks, doing whatever they do. Then, something happens, and in an outburst, Monty snaps and shoves Bonnie off the catwalks, leaving the poor bunny in the broken state we see him in ruin.

Then Monty slowly realizes what he has done. He killed his friend. He heads down to the ground of gator golf and finds Bonnie’s body laying down, shattered and snapped apart. Monty panics and thinks of the consequences of what just happened. He then gets an idea. He somehow finds a way to move all of Bonnie back to the bowling attraction (People say that he used a piece of the carpet in gator golf, as the one underneath Bonnie’s corpse matches the one in gator golf.) He then drags Bonnie into Bonnie bowl, then into that secluded room in RUIN, and sprawls him out to be laying down on the ground.

Now this could explain Monty’s aggressive behavior in the game. He just lost a friend to himself and now has to live with it. Aggression is one of the symptoms of losing a close friend/relative. And when the mimics virus comes over the animatronics it probably makes things worser for him, as I'm pretty sure the virus amplifies your worst traits.

This event could also explain why Monty is seen at the catwalks at Monty golf skipping shows, breaking down fences with his claws, and other reckless behavior. He’s acting out! And when he skips performances to go on the catwalks, he probably goes there to just sulk or just replay that moment in his head. Or he maybe just likes it up there. It's a safe place for him.

Also, about the claw marks. I don’t think it was Monty. I think his claws at the time were maybe too dull to make a big impact in Bonnie’s chest as Monty didn’t get the claw upgrades until after Bonnie went missing.

The green paint on Bonnie’s scratched chest might actually be the star that was on the center of Bonnie’s leotard, now discolored.

And the smashed bowling ball at Bonnie’s corpse. I’m thinking Monty possibly smashed it against the wall (there’s a mark) until it broke open just to make it look like an accident.

But uhhh yeah that’s all. I probably got some things wrong or missed some things AND I feel like I could’ve done more work near the ending but that’s what I think happened. I’ll see if I could improve this theory in the future. Maybe one day I can make a better theory. I guess we’ll have to wait till help wanted 2 for hopefully more glamrocks! (Oh god please steelwool show them more you cant just have them for a game and a half and ditch them like that)

🎆SPOILERS, LIES OF P🎆

So, after watching the whole gameplay of the game, I directed my attention into analysation of the plot and the world building in YouTube.

There's this YouTube video by MadLuigi, he explained the endings into the video, the process and how you will achieve these endings.

Remember Giangio? That was revealed in the end that his name is Paracelsus, was also revealed an alchemist. Remember his hair color?

Now, remember P's other hair color? MadLuigi, possibly, connects that maybe- maybe that P is Paracelsus.

...

I know it's so far fetched and very so impossible. But it ticked something on me.

And now, let's talked about what Simon said about Sophia, " she can control time. "

🧍🧍🧍

AND THAT'S NOT ALL.

Remember those butterflies that needs to be beaten in the game, oh, I don't know they just drop items you know, NO, like, they were called DIMENSIONAL BUTTERFLIES. ( Remember, I'm over analyzing things and currently high on adrenaline so forgive me if this dimensional beings are normal in Soul games so, yeah, I'm new in to this. )

And it was stated that Sophia turn back or manipulate time just for P, she adores P and trust him very faithfully. ( Disclaimer, I'm not an expert about the science of time, timelines, and dimensions. I'm excited and wanted this out of my system. )

Now, we don't know what happened or the other possible outcomes that came of this time manipulation that she's done, we only saw three. However, in those possible outcomes ( *whispered in a uncertain voice* timelines ) we don't know what happened to P. We don't know his state in those.

So, possibly, that Paracelsus is P from a different timeline... *Timidly backs away*

( Now, the next one will be very absurd, please, ready yourself. )

And the title Lies of P... Yeah, you connected it right. Paracelsus. ( And you know how P and Giangio share a VA... *SOBS* I KNOW AT THIS POINT ITS GETTING NOWHERE. IM NOT KNOW SURE IF IM RIGHT WITH THIS ONE, SO, I WILL GLADLY SEE YOU THROW THIS ONE AWAY. )

Now, I'm not saying it's a good theory because Paracelsus doesn't address P as himself or in first person manner. And I just connected this because of a hair color lol.

But it's fun and this is a first theory that I will post. ( Be gentle with the punches guys. )

Hello everyone! Good evening or good morning! I hope everyone’s been doing well! Today we start with a new season of theories, and of course, there are secret ones that I’ve been meaning to update which of course they’ve been popping thanks to the aid of the spanish fandom!

P.S: Theories are held within a neutral view and ships are excluded!

You might wonder what does a third mask have to do with Owari no Seraph, but, before I keep going with this, I must mention that this theory in fact will have its opposite in terms of one sole topic, the theory that will touch the same topic as this one, will be titled as the Third Eye or the Eye that Sees All (Of course, this is a topic that so far has been discussed elsewhere according to my friends within the spanish fandom along friends from Tumblr)

If many have heard, within Japan, there’s something that can be labelled as a proverb.

Said proverb mentions that humans in fact have three masks or faces.

The first one is the one that we display to the world in general, it is a fine layer made for the world we face; the second one, it’s the one we show to family members and friends, which is close people that belong to our circle or what it could be denominated as a place of comfort.

But according to said proverb, the third one is one that us as human beings never show to anyone in particular, it is one that is reserved to one’s self and it truthfully shows who we are and what we are.

Link for more information:

https://www.theodysseyonline.com/mask-wearing

To be fair, the first time I’ve read about this was long ago, way before I joined the fandom, it was a picture that spoke about said proverb, and of course, thanks to the latest chapter, it came to mind

Therefore, the main question is, what does this have to do with the latest chapter?

If many might recall, the latest chapter left quite an impact with, according to what some readers in the fandom stated, a disturbing image:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

Indeed, the scene shows a human Mikaela being stared deeply with a huge eye in a space of absolute darkness, but, why is there an eye on the first place?

It is known that a battle took place way before this event happened; and of course, the demon Mikaela got awareness that Yuichiro Hyakuya once meant something to his former self, to the one that had a human heart and eventually had a change on his lifestyle until reaching the current point of his existance, but due to the same statement which is “save” to save Yu; he pried further within Yu’s heart and such action of course meant cutting Yu’s head in order to reach the depthness of his heart:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

But despite how easy it looked for the demon Mikaela to pry on the depthness of Yu’s heart, it is well known that the heart is a more delicate matter compared to other problems the body could face, what do I mean?

The human heart is complex, it isn’t filled with yes or no, but just as certain LN, the heart could be compared to a flower, said flower could have thorns, roots, leaves, a flower, or none in there reflecting the struggles said person faces against the World and the society that exists within said world, thus leading to the first thing I mentioned above, and that is precisely where the three faces/masks play their role, what do I mean?

With how the manga has gone so far, it’s very well known that Yu has displayed the first two masks in the whole story, the first mask is the one of a guy that is confident on his abilities to get out of any problem he faces, it could be said that he’s a brave character that is willing to risk everything in order to succeed.

The second mask that he has shown so far, is the one that only Guren, his friends and Asuramaru have seen, what do I mean?

Yu to certain degree has shown his weak side to them, they’ve seen him feel grief, pain, sadness, anger, frustration, among that self sacrifice pattern within him, which until late chapters, they made sure that he remembered they’re there for him as well:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 102

In Asuramaru’s case, this was before the gears the First Progenitor set into motion began, what do I mean?

That’s correct. Before Ashera remembered his past along his role as an Apostle, he did worry about Yu’s emotions to certain degree, and that can be reflected on how he supported him in chapter 90 by acknowledging he had to learn why Mika gave his life for him.

But now, the third mask is in fact reflected by such dark space, where there’s no light, where no one should enter but of course, the demon Mikaela took all the risks to enter and of course what greeted the demon Mikaela was the depthness of Yu’s heart and who he really is, which it’s very directed by Mika’s in the latest chapter.

And of course, the eye, said eye plays a role within this proverb of the three masks/faces:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

Said staring eye is in fact the very depthness or rather, the third mask that Yuichiro never shows to anyone in particular, it’s something private of him where his desires,ambitions and darkness resides; it’s a place where no one except him must know, and the very fact that Mika managed to enter, and he was displayed as a human it’s one of the things Yu’s depthness and real self believes in, which is to make him a human being.

But what does the eye itself reflect?

Correct. A world absorbed by darkness. What do I mean?

While it’s true Yuichiro shows a cheerful personality, there’s a vast amount of darkness within him, said darkness doesn’t mean he’s evil but rather, the damage within his heart is too much to the point he no longer sees a ray of hope; the way his lifestyle has carried away along the hardships he has faced, ends up leaving him to the criteria that many aspects of the events are his fault:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

Such dark thoughts reach a point on which the very bottom lies with darkness, and only is met with a gaze starting at the absolute darkness but, within this, there’s something readers have stated or wondered and that is the fact that Mika was shown as a light, but, is there a meaning to this?

Discussing with a friend, Wisely, from discord, at first I considered it as a path to display Mikaela’s walk through the path of darkness, but now after giving it some thought, it goes beyond that, what do I mean?

There’s one thing I’ve mentioned before, and, along with this, it’s the very desire Yuichiro has asides from the dark thoughts he has when it comes to see drastic situations, what could it be?

Redemption and Salvation.

Back in chapter 102 when Asuramaru asked Yuichiro why he was fixated with Mikaela, along asking his real desire, Yuichiro dismissed it by stating countless times his desire was to save Mika:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 102

The dark corner or the fear that holds binded Yuichiro is the fact that he seeks salvation, but how can I state this? Is there a proof to such statement?

In fact, there is, and it goes in the psychological point of Yuichiro’s character; and of course, as readers, you might have noticed that Yuichiro is willing to save everyone, which of course, to an average human, there would be certain limitations, but in contrast to the behavior of other characters with Yu’s; Yu doesn’t mind who, he goes aimlessly stating he’ll save them to the point of taking drastic decisions but, within this, there’s the role of seeking redemption and salvation.

Yuichiro grew up burying the words: “demon spawn”, “devil”, “monster” within his heart,such words took the shape on which he believed that was the truth despite how he managed to end up reaching the Orphanage; but, by the time he found Mikaela, he was doubtful whenever it’d be good or not to stablish a bond of friendship with him along the kids of the Orphanage; instead, he kept his distance but worrying about them since he feared something would happen to them due to his very existance.

But now, it can be said that the very moment Mikaela saved him and made him run away from the place his newfound family perished, and the fact that Yu managed to meet Mika again only made him reach that saving Mikaela would give atonement. What do I mean?

It is common to hear that people go confess their sins in order to receive redemption, forgiveness, mercy, salvation of the soul and atonement. For Yu, the fixation of Mikaela isn’t only due to the value Mika holds as his family, but also, it is a mean to seek salvation and atonement for his existance.

The very fact he never spoke about such thoughts gives an insight that such distorted way of thinking or reasoning should be kept in the dark which of course, gives a very nice insight of the three faces proverb.

Whenever the demon Mikaela finds the truth or not, will be up to the author.

What do you think dear readers?

Hello everyone, after so long, I welcome you to a new theory, I must say that after a long break, it feels nice to return to update theories. (To be honest, I’ve been busy with stuff, this time I wish it was slacking but it comes between getting busy along a bit of feeling not so motivated, but anyways, let’s pull through these theories to the very end!)

I hope everyone’s alright, make sure to stay healthy dear readers!

P.S: Theories are held within a neutral view and ships are excluded.

“People lament that there is always a precedent for trying something new. But everything that the future brings will be similar to something from the past. But nothing like the present will ever come again, nor has it ever existed “

-Kouhei Kadono, Inside the Apocalypse Castle

Back in the chapter analysis, I focused on the characters that made its appearance after so long, which of course, are the vampire Progenitors; of course, within this, there’s such a quote that truthfully applies to the main two Progenitors that took different paths, who do I mean?

Correct. Those are Rigr Stafford and Urd Geales.

But, what does the quote above have to do with them?

It’s well known that humans alone seek progress, they envision the future as promising, but, within the story, this is something that it’s not only applied to humans but vampires too, what do I mean?

Rigr Stafford - Saito: Vampire living in the future

Rigr Stafford who is better known as Saito is a fine example of that and that’s heavily reflected on the latest chapter:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 105

The very first thing Rigr understood within the amount of time he spent with Urd as the remaining two Progenitors that sticked together was, “what was the purpose of staying?”

The question alone seems like a rebellious phase even to some extend, but in fact, there’s something else behind; just like he stated after this panel, he envisioned an Utopia for vampires, but why?

That’s because the First Progenitor, by the time he sired the very first vampires, he made illusions for them, promising dreams that were a possibility but just like the phrase “Sometime it snows in April”, when a possibility is presented, it depends a lot how it’s handled down; in this case, all the vampires believed there would be an endless dream, a perfect world that is labeled as Utopia which at the very end, it ended up disappearing without notice.

But now, you might wonder, what does this have to do with him seeing the “future”?

Rigr didn’t want to stay behind and remain stuck with the old times, he wanted a change, he wanted answers; he wasn’t satisfied with the current life he had; and thus, he decided to leave, but within this, there’s something curious, what do I mean?

Among all the vampires that don’t know why they exist, that question their existance, Rigr technically bestowed his brother, another second Progenitor the key to what defined a human, what could it be?

Correct:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 105

Indeed, Rigr gave Urd a reason to live even if it meant making him have a negative view towards him for abandoning him after the First did. And thus, this was the first stone Rigr set into the future, and with the flow of time, he reached the current self, the one that diistortioned its own body in order to defeat the threat of the world, which is no less than the First Progenitor.

But why do I state that even between the two Progenitors there’s a forgotten present?

Before that, let’s talk about Urd.

Urd Geales: Vampire living in the past

Urd is well known to represent order which is something considered by many such as @black-sapphire57​ , @mikaisyuudere​, and @sonali6661​.

But even still, even if Urd is a figure that decided to take care of the vampires, that decided to shoulder the responsibility the First had:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 105

There’s something rather interesting within Urd, what do I mean?

Urd Geales despite being a character that shows discipline, along the authority figure he is towards the Vampire Society, Urd is the type that doesn’t accept changes well, what do I mean?

After the First Progenitor decided to leave the Vampire Council along with his Apostles or chosen ones, the vampire society he managed to create entered in a phase of negation, expecting the First to eventually return and take them with him, but even with such dream, the First Progenitor never came back until 1 000 years later when he gave away his presence:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 74

Urd Geales took full responsibility of the Vampires that eventually left by their own, he might have designed them which territory to rule underground, without the sight of humans along the laws that were made by him and Rigr many years ago; and, within this, it wasn’t needed to say that many vampires thought the same as Urd; they were afraid of changes, they treasured a lot the past that used to be their lifestyle, even if it was a different path from humanity, they enjoyed their carefree life, that time wasn’t something that could worry them, the fact they had their sire with them to guide them against the world.

And the very fact that an opportunity of “change” presents, it has been reflected with doubt and a discret fear:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 68

Back in the old chapters when Urd, Ky and Lest attempted to interrogate Krul Tepes, they had a small clash of ideals, what do I mean?

Correct. For Krul, the ways and methods they dealt with the problems were obsolete to the point that even if they tried to find a solution, in fact, they wouldn’t; which, to surprise of many, the first one to take the step of taking action was Ky Luc.

This only allowed the other Progenitors to proceed into knowing what exactly happened in the past that was unkonwn to them along the actions they could take for the future that was bound to come.

But now, what do I mean by statingthat both Urd and Rigr have forgotten the present?

This question might seem to some point confusing but in fact, it’s rather simple; what do I mean?

Both Urd and Rigr decided to stay or choose their respective ideals; they decided what it was best for their own.

In Urd’s case, he considered that remaining the same way as the Vampire Council was made, was the best way to keep order, to keep old traditions and costumes in order; but, time never forgives, time keeps flowing despite inmortality, everything changes around the world, and this was something the Vampire Progenitors that decided to abide the Rules noticed.

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 68

They noticed that the World made a drastic change; that humans weren’t the same compared to those they met millenia ago; in contrast, they entered to forbidden zones, they even touched taboos that which for them were considered acts of violation of the rules made by the First, Urd and Rigr.

In Rigr’s case, he considered that the First Progenitor didn’t leave just out of interest, but rather, he discovered the secrets he hid from the Progenitors, what he considered to do, his goals and ambitions that would eventually affect the World he once knew but, why did he take the risk if he was a vampire?

Despite being a vampire, and just like Ferid:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 91

Indeed, he was seeking for an answer to the same question most vampires ask, which is their reason to live and the meaning of life.

Furthermore, this discovery of how the world was dancing in the palm of the First was revealed in the World Resurrection at 19 LNs, when Guren finally had a time to speak with Rigr Stafford, along learning facts of how the First Progenitor dealt with the world and chose what would prevail and fall; all together with the fact on how Rigr himself altered the Ichinose DNA.

But once again, why is it that both forgot the present when they’re living it?

Forgetting the present isn’t something literal but rahter, if the mind aims for the future and dismisses everything that’s going around, then the answers for what the present beholds are eternally lost, what do I mean?

The Vampire Progenitors and Rigr Stafford have an enemy in common to some extend; in Rigr’s case, his main target is the First Progenitor yet he dismisses the fact that the JIDA has self awareness that the monster they’re fighting is the very same enemy Rigr pursuits; so it applies with the squad and the duo of Mahiru and Guren along the integration of Krul, Ferid and Crowley.

In Urd’s case, he still can’t acknowledge the very fact that the threat is the First Progenitor and this is, to some levels understandable, he was fond of something that was built millenia ago, he treasured what was built at such time until everything was laid on his shoulders.

Urd considers as threat humankind and depending on the answer, the First Progenitor along Rigr Stafford for walking into the forbidden, for abandoning his duties from the Vampire Council and most of all, for all the things he has done, altering many things such as his body along those who decided to follow him.

It is to say that this lack of visualization of the Present isn’t something that’ll be permanent, in fact, it can be said that chapters will escalate sooner or later, they’ll make the world reach its peak and breakdown which only leaves for a future truce between those who want to keep seeing a tomorrow and possibily, a goodbye for the everlasting lifespan they were granted.

What do you think dear readers?
