every once in a while i remember this piece of art and how it got me into lifesteal and it's still PEAK as hell ty op for getting me into ls i guess gfsdjhkfdhjfds
starting with the ending, what is going to happen after Evbo lost the Champion duel? Ordinarily, he would just be back on the noob layer, however, because he died by pvp, I feel like he will respawn back in pvpciv
I imagine that is how Zam went back to pvpciv as well
THE MACE!!! OKAY. I HAD THOUGHT IT COULD HAVE BEEN A MACE BUT I REALLY DOUBTED IT WOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE SERIES. That is sooo interesting.. it really is the perfect weapon for a crossover of parkour and pvp (like the spear, but that one is just way too recent right?)
Talking about the mace, who is the invisible pvpr? I don't have an answer to be honest.. what we do know is that this is someone that knows Evbo. AN Evbo. We can't even be sure of which one. I suspect they are from pvpciv, but we can never be too certain of where they come from at this point. Obviously the color purple makes one think of Seawatt, but I have no idea how that'd be. My first instinct was to think of Wemmbu, seeing as the color purple AND the mace are things associated with him in other series. But for now we really have very little to tell who this is, especially since up until this crossover, there had been no indication of the mace existing not even IN pvpciv. Whoever this is knows much more than we imagine. And now, they are also going to be the Parkour Champion
It would help a lot to cross out possibilities, if we knew everyone gets a double in both dimensions, or only some characters
Something very interesting to note is that they don't hold the weapon in hand, but they also don't wear boots, and I don't know what to make of it. Is it simply a stylistic choice for the story? That the invisibility makes ALL of them invisible? Or can a pvpr just swap the hotbar slot and be fine? But also if they don't wear boots that means they never fell or lost a parkour battle..? I NEED MORE INFO
Extrapolating from that. Can someone have 2 life forces? What is the theoretical limit of respawning in either world? Pvprs lives are entirely connected to their weapons, while parkourers are conditionally imortal as long as their deaths are because of parkour (so no pvp, no illnesses, no old age). But what happens when you have both? If I am right, pvp!Evbo and Zam both died to pvp, after becoming parkourers (getting their boots), and respawned back in pvp. This only really applies to them, since they are the only ones that can respawn in pvp at all, while the normal parkour citizens seem to permadie to pvp. It's near pointless to wonder what would happen if you die to parkour in pvpciv, since they have no respawning to begin with. (Unless you are from parkciv and die to parkour IN pvpciv?? Maybe you respawn??????).
So that means, that pvp!Evbo and Zam have 2 life anchors after becoming parkourers, so to speak. If they die to parkour in parkciv, they respawn like normal people of that dimension do, but if they die to pvp for example, they still have their respawning armour stand in pvpciv.
In theory, could they drop their weapons? Could any of the pvprs drop their weapons while in parkciv after "becoming citizens"? Would they be connected to parkciv now, or still die? Is this possibly how our invisible fugitive can hide the weapon they have?
An addendum to this is that pk!Evbo expressed relief at not picking up the iron axe. I wonder if that would have tied his life to it. Does that mean that the pvp weapon bond overrides how your lifespan works the moment you pick a weapon up?
Back to our invisible mastermind. They've got both Seawatt and Zam working for them, seeing as they were they were the one to set both free. So they have Seawatt manipulating Evbo so they can get control of parkciv, while Zam is working on taking control of pvpciv it seems.
There is a small chance that we have 2 invisible people. That would be one hell of a twist, and truly, how could the audience tell? I only say that because the way Seawatt and Zam got broken out of prison was very different.
They built a bridge for Seawatt, but used a mace on Zam (I don't know HOW that works, but I'm taking Ferre's words as truth for now). That confirms that the person that broke Zam out, and the invisible fugitive with the mace are the same person. We can't say the same for the person who broke Seawatt out. It COULD be 2 different people. I'm not saying it is but I want to cover all bases
now for my crack theories:
I still think Tai has something to do with it. Cause if we look at the timeline, Tai was in pvpciv BEFORE everyone swapped. Pvp!Evbo SEES him in pvpciv before swapping, and I'm assuming when he swapped that was when it happened to everyone too. Everyone except Tai. And our mystery invisible player.
This mysterious player appears in parkciv, causes havoc, is sent to prison, kills a guard and disappears. Tai warns people about pvp, before he also disappears. THEN everyone else swaps.
Something is afoot I'm sure of it. I just don't know if Tai learned about pvp FROM this guy. Or if he already knew about it himself. My theory that he is originally from pvpciv remains strong. Also have no idea how the hell this player remains invisible so long. Just how many potions do you have bro
JUMPER IS GOING TO BETRAY. Ok this one is mostly just for fun, but I see the vision. Jumper is a new face, someone that has become very close to pk!Evbo very fast. She also experiments with parkour a lot. I feel like she can unlock tools to defeat both Tai and Evbo if she wanted. Also, is it crazy to say that I feel like she reminds pk!Evbo of Seawatt? That Seawatt from the fake memories? If Seawatt had truly been his friend? Something something very intelligent Master that plays a scientist role of sorts.
Like clearly something about her piqued his interest, since only Tai and Jumper know about him being God. And she didn't see it happen and had no reason to know. So we can only assume Evbo is the one that was observing her invent new parkour jumps and decided to introduce himself, which he has not done to literally anyone else.
Plus, Jumper has a fame of playing mind games and backstabbing in minecraft, and I can't help but wanna see what sort of psychological torment she COULD be brewing up here. Seriously check out her channels, I love her videos a lot.
This isn't a theory as much as it is me just imagining both Evbos meeting when pvp!Evbo respawns back in his world, and tell the parkour people he just let Seawatt into the Champion duels arena and died. He has NO idea of the gavity of what he just did. MEANWHILE pk!EVBO AND TAI ARE JUST LIKE. "Seawatt?? You let Seawatt into- How is he alive- SEAWATT IS THE PARKOUR CHAMPION????" They are going to freak out it's SO over. Like okay. We are stuck here and we know without a shadow of a doubt this idiot just gave someone - possibly Seawatt - access to the command blocks. Goodbye parkciv o7
and lastly, just thoughts and observations I had while rewatching, some of which i used on the theories above so you might see a few repeated ideas:
such a shame we got not jokes about pvpciv having solid ground
it's "been a while" since pk!Evbo has been in a Parkour Battle. He hasn't been interacting with his civilization. Ally even says later they have not seen Evbo ever since he defeated the Villain, and pvp!Evbo points out that Ally is the first person to recognize "him". That means nearly no one in parkciv knows Evbo anymore. Damn that's sad. He's taken the role of a distant God like Cookie had... not really what I had expected
I know Tai heard from a Pro how pvprs work, BUT I'm still holding onto my idea Tai is originally from pvpciv. He didn't seem fazed at all the pvpr just disappeared. He could have been lying about where he knows that info from. If he's telling the truth, it's funny that Tai knows what's up cause he heard it from "someone", but God doesn't. Is Evbo really that disconnected from his players? Is the Champion simply closer to the inhabitants? They have such a fun dynamic of stoic leader and his airhead God
Expanding on that, I feel like Tai is connected to why this dimension swap even happened
"my Parkour Champion" 💕
Jumper!!! Why do they trust her so much to the point of relying on her to access the command blocks and keep parkciv safe? When did this friendship florish? What role does she play? Basically a parkour scientist? Did Evbo have an affinity for her cause of that? (This is all about the character, I love cc!Jumper and I'm so happy to see her. Also it's funny to have someone called Jumper in parkciv. Do you think that's a common name?)
MORE EVBO GOD POWERS! I'm so happy! It's so much like what I had imagined. Being able to materialize Parkour. Being able to sense the blocks someone is using. The partial omniscience (btw I love the low chunk distance rendering, makes his vision in godmode much more eerie and foggy, kinda mystical). Now I just need confirmation he can hear prayers
"why did she have to say it like that?" endlessly amused about Tai's reaction to Tabi's determination and resolution to find her Evbo again. I am not sure if he relates, if he is disappointed someone else feels that way, or just anoyed Evbo still hasn't come back. Btw he only says that in the second video, despite this dialogue playing out in both videos so far, so I assume it's a thought and not spoken out loud. Just a funny little ? Why was that line there? Genuinely from a director's perspective Idk what purpose it serves but it amuses me
the prisoner from pvpciv - who is it? are they the one that rescued Seawatt?
Minute just watching from his cell all the time like -_- is making me lose it
isn't it wild that a parkourer can permakill a pvpr by stealing their weapon, but on the same vein, a pvpr can permakill a parkourer without them having time to set up a parkour battle? it is so dangerous to have those worlds collide
I didn't pick up on this the first time I watched, but pk!Evbo says he is glad he didn't pick up the iron axe or he'd die. Is it conditional? Even though he is not from this dimension, had he picked up a weapon, would the rules then start applying to him too?
if I had a nickel for everytime an Evbo followed whatever a Seawatt told him in parkour civilization, I'd have 2 nickels. Isn't that miserable. At least he questioned Seawatt this time
the Champion statue at the Master layer IS Tai, awwwwwww. I'm sure Evbo had to convince him to make at least one of himself
it's nice to see the buildings are fixed and are a lot more accesible now
so any Master can battle the Champion? how it used to be I assume? does that mean Tai is fending off battles for his position all the time? rip
ALLY!!!!!! Ally my bbgrl they mischaracterized you. I KNOW YOU ARE SMARTER THAN THIS. I KNOW YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED WHAT THE FUCK IS EVBO HOLDING. THEY DID YOU DIRTY FOR THE SAKE OF THE STORY MOVING FORWARD I KNOW IT IS SO
how does invisible person even get in the arena???
that also reminds me I wrote down a bunch of notes on the last pvpk episode and i forgot to make it a coherent post kkkkkkkkk so expect that at some point
btw i need to say, on that last piece, and for my Seawatt design in general, his crown and shoewear were not always like that. These ones, with the diamonds, are from AJ.
After he became champion, AJ gifted them to Sea, as thanks for all Sea's help and to honor their partnership.
It was in no small part thanks to Seawatt that AJ had the confidence and the support to become Champion (and in my vision, it was also Seawatt that helped AJ cheat and coin his 5 block jump maneuver for the first time that granted him the win). Since only the Champion could really wear the diamond boots, AJ gifted Seawatt a golden set as close to diamond as he could. A show of their bond and Seawatt's importance. It's reassurance AJ still has his back, and that he won't just discard Seawatt now that their plan worked and he is technically "no longer needed"
And definetly no other reason...
Safe to say they both feel very differently about the gesture.
For AJ, yeah, it is also flirting. Out of the two, he was the one that fell first. Though to be fair, I think at the time where this happens, he doesn't even know it yet. He is most of all thanking the guy and showing how much Seawatt means to him, or so he hopes. It's just that he is ALSO hitting on him and showing his interest and seeing where that goes
And to Sea.. well. The gesture does mean so much to him. It was a Champion that took away everything Seawatt loved, and he just helped enpower another Champion, riding on a gamble that he could make himself useful enough to not get backstabbed for it. The day AJ became Champion was one of the happiest Sea's ever had, but it was also one of the most terrifying.
So yeah it does actually mean a lot to Seawatt that AJ gifts him these things. Sadly he doesn't take it as sweet of a gesture as AJ envisioned. Sea is still a very jaded person. Hardened walls after everything he went through. By the point AJ is Champion, Seawatt has learned to trust him a lot more than he would anyone else, but his guard is still high.
He reads the gifts with skepticism. He sees it as AJ trying to win him over with favors - stupid really when Seawatt has already reluctantly accepted his dependance on the man. It's not like he could say no at that point. He also hates the trophy aspect of it. Being adorned by AJ much like one of his belongings or prizes. It isn't incorrect to say he is one, but Seawatt is just mad that it is so.
