Honestly, what a God…

One to worship

Oh my god, the Brook flashback is fucking happening now.

The theory that he was a God's Knight is dead, that was always a fringe theory I never actually believed anyway. I just saw the gag potential in it. Instead, my original idea seems to be closer to the truth.

And then Gunko was "adopted" by the Manmayers.

I'm far from the first person to suggest that the SDU members could turn into Commanders under certain conditions (my guess is excessive Absorption), but the more I look at this specific Commander the more I feel like it could be Eito?

Beyond the obvious visual similarities between the Commander's limbs and Eito's scythe, the way the Commander attacks reminds me a lot of Eito, as well:

I honestly think it would be a missed opportunity if some messy body horror transformation stuff didn't happen with regards to the SDU and the Commanders using the same powers. Likewise for the SDU absorbing each other's Hemoanima. I want them to turn each other into dried up husks.

Tokyo Ghoul theory: ghouls can eat any beans, because beans are humans.

Pythagoras (the guy who didn't invent Pythagoras' theorem) famously believed that beans were humans, and that's why neither he nor his cult ate them.

If beans are indeed humans, then ghouls would be able to eat them. This would explain why they would be able to drink coffee, since it's made with coffee beans.

Why wouldn't they eat other bean types though? Perhaps they never tried it, assuming they were the same as other "human food", and that it would still taste disgusting.

Maybe some philosophy nerd ghoul had this theory a while ago and tried to eat beans, but they accidentally bought kidney beans and then cooked them improperly and poisoned themself.

Perhaps that ghoul was Rize and this happened like a month before the show and the fact that it "didn't work" why Rize was so depressed and started binge eating (I don't know if there's a canon explanation for the binge eating, I'm not far along enough in the manga)

cultural shift among warrior cats that wearing a kittypet collar actually makes you a badass.

hazing ritual where apprentices have to fight a kittypet and successfully steal its collar.

apprentices helping their mentors put their collars on before a big battle, like squires.

even more prestigious to wear a collar with a bell. that means you killed a kittypet that was actually a good hunter!

cats are known to get accidentally strangled, so wearing one anyway is edgy.

When I first read The Dawn of Yangchen, I was pretty solidly convinced that "Unanimity" wasn't a codename. I thought that it was just a description of what the zongdus' plans were: Get all of the shangs to cooperate together unanimously.

I wasn't completely wedded to the theory, but my idea boiled down to that. Chaisee and Dooshim (and presumably the other zongdus) had negotiated a secret pact amongst themselves to declare independence for the shang cities as a fifth nation. With their complete control of all international trade they've got more wealth than anybody except the central national governments, and the book was very emphatic on the power that money has. After all, the Platinum Affair was what had started this entire crisis.

Working together the shangs may have even outmassed the fortunes of the various world leaders, provided they all committed. Hence, "Unanimity". If they played the four nations off against one another that may have been enough to carve out their own independent realm.

As the story progressed and Yangchen continued to find absolutely nothing -- no shipments of weapons or stockpiles of resources or vaults full of cash -- I leaned more heavily into the theory. Because if I was right it wasn't a single thing that she was looking for, it was an agreement.

I'd say I was about 70% certain that I had it pegged correctly.

Of course, once the three combustion benders started blowing up Bin-er my certainty took a bit of a hit, but up until then I felt pretty clever with myself for having figured it out.

Just realized, I put this idea on the Sonic the Movie 3 WMG page, but I never shared it here.

So, here's my theory for Sonic 4:

First, they might try to give it a subtitle that can be shortened to CD, because Amy and Metal Sonic both first appeared in Sonic CD.

Second, and the big one, between 2 and 3, Ivo and Stone made an AI and blueprints for Metal Sonic. Unfortunately, the AI immediately went rogue, calling itself Metal Overlord, and the two had to seal it away. Gerald's messing with Ivo's tech somehow unsealed/awakened Metal Overlord, and it immediately set about mass manufacturing Metal Sonics.

Additionally, as a side theory, Ivo also constructed the E-Series robots to protect Overlord's physical location, but Overlord managed to subvert or destroy most of them, leaving Gamma and Omega left to try and contain things.

Me, trying to go to sleep and not think about how AFO really could try to pass his quirk off in the last minute before he disappears and he may be put in a position to have to give it to whoever is nearby:
