Spoilers for the 5th Anniversary
WE'RE SO DEAD WE'RE GONERS BRAVEBRAVEBRAVE NO.
We've had updates on Brave and Wizard's initial locations. Brave has been pictured with Pure Vanilla on the airship twice now, once on the poster and then again during today's teaser. Wizard has been pictured in the comic strip on the 5th Anniversary website and on the poster with Espresso and near Dark Enchantress' castle so that's also two times. So, it seems that for the initial attack or journey to Dark Enchantress' castle, that's where they're gonna be.
Strawberry... is nowhere to be seen.
Which... listen, obviously it's not gonna be a Strawberry-centric update, but we know stuff about Wizard and where he's at but nothing on Strawberry?
It sucks because either she's not gonna be a focus character or be taken out early in the story (or if I'm really delusional, get focus in the 2nd part of the update or somewhere else). When the Millennial Tree update ended, they were all already at Beast Yeast and the teaser seems to be them just heading to Dark Enchantress' castle with reinforcements so unless Strawberry backtracked after spending last update hyping herself up... I don't know. Maybe, she's on the frontlines? Back at the Cookie Kingdom? But then again, she spent all of Millennial Tree talking about how important it is for her to be with her friends. But nevertheless, no word on where Strawberry's gonna be during the battle.
The lack of Strawberry content was kinda expected but still hurt to see. I still find it... kinda odd though. They focused on her a lot last update but I guess it was just tying up loose ends if they didn't include her in the Anniversary update. She is on the website, on the comic strip section right below White Lily.
...It seems that Strawberry's biggest fear did come true though, the Bravetrio seems to be separated for this arc. If we're lucky each section of I believe the 3 parts will focus on one of them but who knows.
White Lily's also missing from the poster and teaser but she's in the comic, first image for the anniversary website, and there's no way she'll be missing in this update. So, I am not concerned about her lack of an appearance my guess is that she'll have a bigger role next update or they're just hiding her away for now.
Moving onto Brave though, he's definitely gonna be the main focus. Also he's cooked. Like there are so many not even hints at this point confirmations that Gingerbrave is going to be the main focus of this arc.
Light of Hope, yeah that's probably him, just look at the website which uses his candy cane with light like 3 times.
The Ultimate Cookie... mm. That's a lot to unpack so I'll keep it brief. Brave's probably also connected to them or even is them. But we all already suspected this, so nothing new per say just some more hints.
Yesterday's countdown was three separate sentences which could be for three different cookies. Bravetrio, White Lily and Dark Enchantress and Gingerbrave, etc etc. It could also refer to three different groups. The Beasts, the Ancients, and the Starters.
Today's countdown message is applicable to Brave, Strawberry, and Wizard but we all know it's gonna be Brave. The "of their own will" slash "voluntarily" in the Spanish translation is concerning. Especially with the comic strip on the 5th Anniversary website showing Brave falling in fire. It says "a" cookie meaning it's just one of them anyways.
All the signs are just pointing to Gingerbrave being in so much danger and getting a lot of new lore.
Everyone (good or bad or in between) is talking about fate and telling Bravetrio to follow it but their original fates were literally to be eaten.
