Possessed Orangusnake / Orangufake theory
Ok so I have a theory involving the ruby pure heart and Orangusnake.
I think Orangusnake is gonna be possessed by the RPH but in a different way.
Based off what we’ve seen so far I think Orangusnake is gonna play a big part in revealing the RPHs powers, and by that I mean I think he’s gonna get possessed and used by it (basically pull a Darcy)
Adorabats possession was short term, happened very suddenly, and didn’t go into completion. But all he did was wanna hurt some people's feelings because she was being embarrassed. But Orangusnake’s desire was much deeper and had more meaning.
Now I don’t have too much to go off of buthear me out.
1. He was the first person to unleash the RPHs power and get a wish from it
That’s a pretty big deal. Being the first person to not only get the Rubys power but to be the first person to show it’s power, seems pretty important to me.
2. He only got it after he offered his soul
Now that might not seem like much due to how adorabat gets power and possessed, but the thing with that is adorable got out of the situation and did it fairly fast. she didn’t offer anything because she didn’t really ask anybody for the power. She just kinda got it without her knowledge. That could be a good reason the RPH didn’t have a good hold on her.
3. The episode was called OS begins
This could be hinting that this could be somewhat of an origin story of what’s going to happen to him next
Yes, the OS's backstory says the words. But I think the title is hinting at something more. It’s be kinda weird to name the episode off of a backstory rather than the actual meaning of the episode itself. Orangusnake showed the first instance of what he can do here and it gonna (most likely) get bigger from here.
4. He’s obsessed with the RPH.
he’s had many chances to leave PHV but despite his awful conditions he still gets pulled to the ruby.
Yes Orangusnake is a power hungry pirate. But honestly If I was him I’d probably throw in the towel here and move on to something else. But not him. He really really wants this crystal and the kingdom for no other real reason than power and riches and junk. We’ve seen the the RPH has the power to affect people's emotions (remotely and euphemistically), it’s possible the RPH has some type of emotional magnetic pull on him.
5. His wish was fulfilled. He got Mao Mao to respect him more. Even if it’s not genuine he still got what he wanted.
While he didn’t really expect to get a huge mechanic suit, he did make an offer and get his end of it. With Orangusnake getting Mao Mao to say he feared him, chances are the ruby is gonna want his end of the deal soon (his soul cough cough)
6. The RPH has a need to take control and possess things and cause havoc. (AD, the water puddle)
We’ve seen how destructive the RPH is, it seems to want to cause chaos any chance it gets. But the crystal doesn’t exactly have hands of its own so it takes control of things and people to do it for it. I honestly doubt the ruby is gonna call up orangusnake and go “aye ya wanna take over the valley together if you’re free?”. Based off its past history I’d say it’s gonna use Orangusnake to get what it wants whether or not he wants it himself.
7. This is kinda of a Stretch but I think his purple/pink armor and his two bodies is foreshadowing of him getting taken over by the ruby.
Okay I mIGHT be looking too deep into it here but here me out! Orangusnake is the embodiment of two people but he is one person. He’s stated multiple times that he's not Tanner and Coby, but he’s Orangusnake instead. He’s one person but with two bodies, this could be possible foreshadowing to the idea that he’s gonna have to share it with another at some point.
Ok for the pink and purple thing, those colors constantly reacure with the RPH. Adorabats purple eyes, the pink puddle, the fact that it’s literally pink and purple itself.
Now with all this it does ask a really good question. Why hasn’t it done it yet?
Now I don’t really have anything to answer that yet I think it’s because Orangusnake is gonna play a big role in the whole scheme of things.
I don’t think he’s gonna just be a short lived vessel like adorabat was. Because if he was it would’ve happened already.
My theory is that the RPH has big plans for him and is saving him for something. Or that it’s still gaining energy to get enough power to do so properly.
The ruby just got cracked and I’m sure it’ll unleash its chaos when it can, but I don’t think it’s quite there yet.
I will hopefully update this theory when S2 comes out and we get more lore and answers!
Sorry if this is super long and messy! I don’t usually make theories or post about them, but this was really fun! Feel free to tell me your thoughts and opinions on this theory of mine! I’d love to hear em!
Thanks for your interest! Take this really bad edit for your time!
