And you have no idea how much comments like this mean to me.

It's barely even a theory. It's more just that I noticed how the three characters of War, Hoshi, and the inventor of death share the same character traits/developments. I think you could look at Hoshi, the inventor of death, and War, as being the same person/different persons going through one long singular arc, in the chronology of Hoshi => Inventor of Death => War, with the last two overlapping a bit in the frame of time. Starting off with Hoshi, he starts off revering god and following him blindly (literally closing his eyes when god bestows his visions upon him), however, Hoshi gets betrayed by god. During the Director's Cut Project, it's revealed that his visions are not necessarily predetermined truths, even though god posed them as such. He then goes off on his own adventure along with a group of classmates. The first thing we hear about the inventor of death chronologically is that he lived in a This World where, if I remember correctly, the people held god in high regard and respected the rules of This World through fasting and everything. However, the inventor of death himself reviled god and hated the rules and laws of This World, resulting in his drive to challenge those rules and want to create death. Starting off with this, I don't think it's far-fetched to assume Hoshi would despise god after everything god put him through. He lied to Hoshi about his fate, and he basically betrayed his faith. When Hoshi sets off with his classmates, he's optimistic, and he says, "we still have our freedom!" However, as Rajdhani found out in his 2000 years of journeying through This World, the endless freedom of This World becomes meaningless, and it makes you apathetic towards life itself. This explains why Hoshi would start engaging in experiments of murder and suicide, even though he seemed like a person who cared deeply about the well-being of his classmates at first. In his immortality, Hoshi stopped caring about morality, the rules of the school, and life itself. Instead, he just wanted to get back at god for causing him this suffering. Now then, we come to War. As Yamabiko notes, War's ultimate objective was to kill god. He hated god, not unlike the inventor of death. War also has all these medals he got as a reward for killing people, even though death supposedly doesn't exist in This World. Maybe those "kills" are from his experiments in murder and suicide Rajdhani talks about regarding the inventor of death. Also, if Hoshi is war, it would explain another dimension to why he tells Yamabiko, 'You have seen me around'. The final reason that ties it all together is the way the inventor of death and War both die. They both die during the invention of death. However, War dies at the hands of Asakaze, and the inventor dies by his own invention, being death. Rajdhani explains the inventor of death became apathetic and well-adjusted when he died, and that's the exact same state we find War in when he's falling into that cliff. He's empty and ambitionless. That cliff is a wound in This World. It's also that wound that Nozomi falls into and dies. Maybe this cliff is the invention of death itself. As Rajdhani says, the inventor had left This World, so if that cliff really is a split in the skin of This World, then by falling into it, you would no longer be "inside" This World. I don't know if I'm making sense anymore tbh, but basically if the inventor succeeded in killing himself by gradually becoming more apathetic towards life, then Asakaze finished the job by turning him into a static object, something like that, idk, as I said it's a pretty loose theory. Also the two visuals we get of the inventor of death both look like War and Hoshi. The first visual, being his shadow against the ground, looks like War, and the second visual, being his face and torso after he gets up from his electric chair, looks like Hoshi. It's a mediocre theory, but I like it. Anyway, thanks for watching!

I have not, I'll check it out!

I'll put up a background music list when I'm able to dispute these claims and get the video back up in its entirity without muting bits

Toe - rhapsody

@@olafsomething thanks

Omori pfp so I know you're goated. Also don't know if you're aware but this video on youtube has been destroyed by copyright claims that I can't dispute right now (explanation is in the description) and the full unedited version is currently only watchable on my patreon for free (link also in description). Anyway thanks for the compliment! I love how this show's fanbase is always so enthousiastic

@@olafsomething yeah i saw that when i was writing my comment. I made a patreon account just to see the video. Thank you for making it free to watch

The video has been cut up and edited because of copyright claims for now, more extensive explanation in the description. For now the only way to watch the unedited version is to go to my patreon (it's free), link also in description

@olafsomething oh cool. I'm sorry about the copyright claims 😰

No I totally get what you mean! I mean, I worked on these interpretations for years and they are definitely my own but there's also a little inspiration from other video essays and whatnot. When it comes to Sonny Boy I think it's definitely worthwhile developing your own "untainted" theories and interpretations without too much outside influences though.

​@@olafsomethingthank you! yeah Ive been thinking about it and I'll watch when my script is done, so if I add something I know it'll come from you and I could mention your pov! but yeah I'm working for a script as original as possible

I needed 3 hours actually, I'm currently going through some copyright issues so had to cut it down (temporarily)

@@olafsomethingnice

I think it will take a looong time before Doctor Who reaches the peaks of the 2009-2016 era. But also, that just means how good the show was at a certain point. I definitely get how you feel, I think the show is on the right track though.

Reaaallllll 💯💯 (no honestly the graph is so depressing, it went up so steep, 1 of 10 type shi, and then it just flatlines 💀)

Thanks your compassion means a lot! Honestly if I had the power and money I would try to invest in a platform where the people up top wouldn't have such a power-trip stranglehold on the smaller creators but this is the timeline we're in ig

You can still watch the full 3 hour cut on patreon for free! Link and explanation in the description!

honestly, now that I'm done with Sonny Boy I can actually start working on dozens of videos I've had in the oven for a long time. So yeah, I've got plenty in store 😁😁

Oh hey! Awesome to see you here. Are you watching the broken version here on KZbin or the unedited one on patreon? Also I interpreted the sunflower-dandelion metaphor in the way that a sunflower just stares at the sun, unmoving, while a dandelion's seeds blow away towards new places at the end of its lifecycle (mostly during spring/summer), and finds new places to grow through its seeds.

@@olafsomething broken version cause I'm not a patron (yet) but I think what Nozomi says is: "If there was a place that shone brighter than where you were at, would you want to go see it, or would you stay where you are?" which is why I would interpret the sunflower as the one that reaches towards the light. Because sunflowers always grow towards the sun. but yeah I'll definitely finish the video at some point, possibly tomorrow but I've got a busy few days ahead. Like what I see so far!

I got the same interpretation as you Roggol at first, but olaf's can be the correct one: the idea of the sunflower staying put and watching the sun seems more logical, but I also thought that the dandelion can be the inaction too, it changes with the spring, it waits for change to come to it, like Nagara. so idk which one is the correct interpretation lol

I always thought Nozomi thinks of herself as dandelion because a sunflower is a conformist. Its movement is solely tied to the sun, no autonomy of its own; dandelion is fine with its place, it doesn't need to chase the sun, doesn't need to change anything. Dandelion is fine with itself.

I think the dandelion is like shot your shot kind of way. The way they reproduce/appear in another place is by the wind with full of uncertainty but they still ride the wind with lots of attempts to reach a better place. Nozomi already answered the meaning of these flowers before jumping into the void for a chance to reach her light, but I think Nagara is a little negative at first and is a dandelion in the "I have nothing matters left to lose, so why not?". He became the dandelion in the same way as Nozomi with "life is full of unexpectable, so why don't I try" as his final line. He left Nozomi alone because he followed Yamabiko's advice and did not always look at his light(Nozomi) because he was scared of losing it, like a sunflower. Also, he saw Nozomi helping Asakaze as well with the bird being a baby because Asakaze is childish. Dandelion can fly like bird. I guess
