Ace Analyst: Twilight Sparkle's Apprentice (READ DESCRIPTION)

**I originally completed this video shortly after the Make Your Mark special aired, but computer and rendering problems prevented me from exporting it until after issue #2 of the G5 comics came out. Many of my theories in this video have become invalidated since it's release but I still wanted it published after putting in the work, thus this is merely for entertainment purposes only.

A purple unicorn in Zephyr Heights stained glass window and a purple alicorn revealed in the new Make Your Mark Special. Coincidence? Maybe? Maybe not? Let's dive in and take a look how the this alicorn could be Twilight Sparkle's apprentice.

Very good video.

The theory is very interesting, but I honestly don't think the new villain has anything to do with Twilight. In my view : - The three ponies in the stained glass windows are the ancestors of Hitch, Izzy, etc. The middle earth pony will even be Sunny's mom, which would explain her dad's knowledge. The pegasus on the right also looks very strangely like Zipp's mother, finally the queen of Zephyr High. - The new evil alicorn is just an opportunist. In the comics, she is clearly against the other ponies; two ideas can then agree. Either Twilight hired her in hopes of changing her mind (unsuccessfully), or she stirred up conflict between the ponies only to make Twilight choose a bad decision that led to her stealing all three. gems. (Sunny's mom would have died trying to protect them)

[@MrsMamaMallow]

I do have a feeling as the comics proceed we will be given more light on twilights whereabouts as I do believe she is around given it seems alicorns have a rather lengthy lifespan such as celestia for example. In my personal opinion I feel as though Twilight had no choice but to flee her kingdom once that magic was lost as ponies could have blamed her for what happened. As for the student part of at all this alicorn was twilights student she wouldn’t have been the first alicorn to have had a student gone rogue let’s not forget celestia was subsets mentor for a time before sunset turned rogue and went down a road with no clear path before meeting twilight.

[@streakaireoso8427]

Well it seems Luster at the end is Twi’s apprentice but what I think is that yes it was the pony in the MLP G5 comics and that once the mane six used their powers to make the crystals they used up all their magic and Twilight was ahem (murdered) by the now alicorn who used the magic of the crystals to go alicorn in the first place but due to her disharmonic intentions she only got the lifespan and no magic, so in rage she slammed the unity crystals which separated and thus the three pony races each took their respective crystal and over time gained fear/lost respect for the other races and then get to the events we’ve already seen.

That's a very good and interesting theory MasterCode, at least in terms of possible origins to where that new Alicorn came from. and the way you described that theory with all the art and what not it felt like something would probably make a good mlp G5 fanfiction someday at least in my opinion. However, i actually believe that since this Alicorn was confirmed to be partly responsible for dividing the pony races in the comics, my theory is that it could be that the reason why she's in hiding is because maybe Twilight used her magic to banish that pony from Equestria as punishment for her actions. but as for the Alicorn being Twilight's apprentice well it could be that she was like how Sunset Shimmer used to be by that i mean maybe the Alicorn was once Twilight's apprentice but when she didn't get what she wanted she became bitter and her heart hardened with hate, and so as revenge the Alicorn decided to destroy everything that Twilight and her friends build by doing exactly what Chrysalis,Tirek and Cozy Glow did by dividing the pony races and creating disharmony throughout the land. But anyway those are just my thoughts.

[@mikewest6298]

My theory is the alicorn we see in the G5 special may be linked to the ancient crystal empire with king Sambra. Plus if we look at the G5 comic the first comic takes place after the special and the glitching from the movie still happens. The main 5 of G5 got loaded to cantorlot by Discord. Discord grant it we can't trust him said twilight and all her friends were involved with the crystals creation. Rumor had it a alicorn was going around similar to exiled queen of the changelings causing distrust in the races. So Twilight. Gathered all magic and sealed it away. Discord wasn't able to use his chaos magic when all the races lost there magic. If the villain is twilights apprentice that would be a interesting stretch. G5 comic has discord as a anti hero trying to destroy the crystals to get rid of magic I have my theory why on that. But what if the evil alicorn is the lost princess of the crystal empire that was referenced in the G4 comics that could be a route the writers are taking to make the two line up as cannon in a universe. This is just my take on it my opinion will be more decided once the comic gets more books and the series starts to fill in more details. The special only left more questions than answers so we will have to see. A friend also through out what if flurry, Twilight,or cadence got corrupted somehow like Luna did to become nightmaremoon or the dream battle that had Daybreaker those are also things we can't 100% rule out.

[@nightmarecats239studio9]

I remember Ophelia mentioning what it should to be a true alicorn mean she could be born alicorn or she was a unicorn collection enough power to become alicorn by force or alicorn who feel weakened by emotion to turn into their dark version of themselves. Mostly she could more close to how we had an unicorn turn into alicorn by forced with magic. Trying to take power for herself. Twilight mentions she a power thirsty back then having force seal magic by herself. Meaning this person had taken to magic the element of harmony causing the lack balanced the crystal as it didn’t have a balanced element. I believe Ophelia was some twilight knew but I don’t think one unicorns, Pegasus or earth pony with the crystal. Twilight knew these people and they are related to ponies in the stain glass meaning pip and zip are related to one apprentice, mayor family and Izzy. I will say this sparky is similar to that dragon princess that spike befriend, Ophelia might done something to dragon grow power and weird that their been no sign of the changelins or any of other species. And hitch has same ability to understand animals just like fluttershy.

[@Pinkotica]

I feel like the creation of the crystals occurred because of the human realm in a movie I don’t remember the name sunsetshimmer is able to go into the human world and twilight had to fallow. That caused a rift between the worlds witch allowed magic to spill into the human world this caused villains to spark up (witch is shown in the show) and once twiglight figures this out she knew that she had to seal magic in equestria to ensure the paths of her ponies be a good one. So she did. But after this the unstable nature of the crystals caused issues any disharmony caused a glitch and one day the four tribes had enough they slowly began hating magic thinking it only caused trouble. A large issue arose which caused the crystals to split, twilight used the last of her magic to send them away to the far stretches of equestria. However for the whole new Alicorn thing I’d assume she would have been either a daughter to twilight or like you said an apprentice who went rouge? But with my idea perhaps just like yours she wanted all of equestrias power for herself and took the crystals using there power to become an alicorn witch lead to the big disagreement between pony tribes,and what then led to twilight using the last of her power to break them apart. Leaving her to the same fate you did and also leaving her apprentice with the same fate you did as well.

[@Charles-7]

considering that twilight had made those crystals, it's a possibility that after disappearing as a unicorn, her body and even soul might've fused with the crystals, so hopefully someone figures out that the key to bringing the crystals into one is more then just that, which is how and why sunny figured it out, and they chosen her as the new leader of all 3 tripes, cause the crystals are possibly what's left of twilight

[@icecreamlid]

Wot.

[@michaelk5976]

I think the glass window is some sort of prophecy and it says that one day tree kinds of ponies find each other and each crystals and bring them back together. Everything happens under the element of magic, represented by twilights star. And the ponies we see (some sort of "chosen ones") are Izzy, Sunny and Pipp! I think they look familiar enough to fit in this "prophecy".

[@lunastar6093]

That story was beautiful, I don't know the real story, but it was beautiful

[@bystanderX]

My theory is that Twilight gave up her immortality after her friends died, then Luster took over. Since Luster lived in an era where almost every species lived in harmony, she never experienced any apocalypses that twilight had in her lifetime; therefore, she didn't know how to face them. Because of that, this evil alicorn or whomever was able to successfully take over. Perhaps Luster or whomever is still out there trying to figure it out.

[@AaronGoyette]

I know I’m late what with the series now finished but here’s my theory/story: many years after Celestial and luna gave twilight control over equestria after seeing she no longer needed their guidance twilight believed she could be a greater ruler if more alicorns were there to help keep the piece and harmony. She already trained flurry heart who has now become old enough to learn how to master powers but there had been no other alicorns left since cadance retired as well, so twilight searched All over equestria looking for three more ponies of each race and eventually found worthy candidates in Pegasus mare nimbus cloudbreeze, earth pony mare clover sunbright, and unicorn mare oapaline arcana all had advanced really well under her guidance and became good friends. But eventually oapaline grew jealous of twilights powers because it was more powerful than her own, she wanted that power all to herself and in her greed and envy she attempted to steal twilights powers, but when twilight found out about her betrayal she took away her alicorn powers and unicorn magic, and banished her from equestria as punishment for her actions. Not wanting nimbus and clover to go done opaline’s path she discounted her teachings but flurry heart continued to train them because she did not want them to feel hurt or betrayed because of twilight not continuing their training. But oapaline was furious, and in her anger of having her powers taken away she decided that if she could not be an alicorn of access to her own unicorn magic, then she will make sure nobody else gets to either by stealing all of eqeustria’s magic for herself, but she could not obviously because of twilight taking away her powers so she attempted to recreate her powers through the means of forbidden dark arts. But alicorn magic was never to be copied and as we saw before can only given to those who have themselves truly worthy and while it did restore her powers that dark magic she used corrupted her and turned her pure evil. Now hearing of oapaline’s plans twilight flew forth to confront her x student, but the dark magic made opaline far to powerful for twilight to handle. Now realizing she could not stop oapaline twilight used ever last ounce of here powers to trap all of equestrias magic inside three magical crystals she created through all three races friendship, then using the power of the crystals weakened opaline enough to seal her away inside the crystals but at the cost of her powers she was left completely powerless and unable to rule her kingdom, so flurry heart continued in her place with nimbus and clover by her side as her students and fellow princesses. But eventually fear and distrust grew amongst the three pony races, this was because after oapaline’s fiasco the earth ponies and pegasi finally had enough of the unicorns always being the ones to cause trouble for equestria especially after all the times it has been a unicorn to do so and they demanded that all unicorns be banished, but flurry heart refused to do so because she would stand by what her aunt had taught her. Twilight was equally hurt by the fact that her own citizens would demand such a thing especially after all the lessons she and her friends have taught them, but they were to stubborn to listen and their refusal to listen they attempted to forcefully drive out the unicorns themselves but the fighting got so out of control the crystals became highly unstable and broke apart from one another because twilight created them to be powered by equestria’s friendship. With the separation of the crystals not only did severe equestria,but cut off all magic entirely as well as broke opaline’s seal but just like how equestria lost it’s magic, she to once again lost hers with only a severely limited amount of her alicorn magic.

[@danasymons6838]

I have a theory. There's no way it's true, but I think it would be a really cool story if it was. What if Opaline wasn't an enemy of Twilight Sparkle? Instead, what if Opaline IS Twilight Sparkle? We know from the comics that the gems were creating by Twilight in response to the different pony races conflicting with each other, due to an, at this point unknown pony, spreading a unicorn supremacist rhetoric. My theory states that this is the pony Twilight was trying to warn Sunny about in her hologram. Regardless, the fact remains that the gems were a means of control. So, what if, after everything was said and done, Twilight's views changed. Yes, there was a superior race, but it certainly wasn't unicorns, it was alicorns. She was stronger than the rest of these ponies, and they certainly couldn't get by without her, so she had every right to control them, as far as she was concerned. This shift towards dictatorship turned her friends against her, leading to a civil war that lead to the corruption of her form, and the spell being cast that separated her from her magic. And now, without a leader, the tribes disbanded, each taking their gem, their meanings destined to be lost to time. Each now convinced of the failures of the magic of friendship. However, in order to retain Twilight's legacy, stories of her life was separated from her eventual fate. Twilight could only watch as she was stripped of her identity. She was now nearly the villain that had killed Twilight Sparkle, as far as the world was concerned. However, she eventually embraced this, hence why she refers to Twilight as her enemy in the show. And, when the crystals were finally reuinted, she rose up with a new identity. Opaline was ready to take her revenge.

3:49...wonder if that earth Pony is Sunnys mom? The pegasi looks like it could be Zipp and Pipps mom.

[@theggamer2824]

This might sound like a stupid theory but what if she is actually Flurry Heart.

[@Glimmer-mmguk]

Can you tell if there is any chances of lusty dawn or flury heart entry..? And she can be cozy glow also who is now big and changed her look...🤔

[@glendagarcia9628]

Does someone know which comic/ issue number in the minute 2:17 is? Where Celestia and Luna are young.

[@christinakovar701]

Is anyone else bothered by the fact that the cutie marks keep appearing and disappearing? I'd rly like to know how/if they are gonna explain any of this..

[@Sassyatta]

Depends which side they’re on, pretty sure the cutie marks only show up on their right side.

[@xmuun]

Could you credit the artists?

[@landonhumphrey3622]

I've felt that other forces other then friendship caused a division in the pony races. One theory I am working on comes from from one of the original songs.

[@sethcarlow8363]

wow,awesome video,nice,amazing,epic.

[@alexcanine4948]

Cool

[@xxwillowxx15]

One thing I notice is that it’s on the wrong side in my Netflix the screen is on the right side. Not the left side.

[@williamcrowe2576]

It's plain to see how the reveal in the G5 comic issue #2 may have changed your theory slightly, but the point I made in the comments for your review is still moot. To me, at least.

[@dripcat7332]

what if she is radiant hope?

[@shadowslytherin5999]

It's radiant hope My theory is that to after the feet of king somber CB cayman allicorn says like her destiny told her to be but instead of being good she dedicated her life to bring back her old friend king sombra

[@Quinnzee]

0:55 when I saw that after finishing it I was coming up with theory when I saw the wings and horns I knew she must have been around when twilight was still here I had ideas like she is like flurry heart possibly could be twilight child because cadence had a baby who turned out to be a alicorn and this antagonist alicorn I thought the same thing and I had a theory of why this alicorn is evil ok ima go with this is twilight child and I connected this from a theory from sawtooth waves the fate of twilight spare where he theorized how twilight sacrificed her alicorn powers to save magic existing in equestria and I was thinking this antagonist alicorn whatever her name is disagreed with the situation and she was being selfish and didn’t want twilight to let the human world keep magic rather ms antagonist alicorn may wanted twilight to pull the magic out of the human world back to equestria so then they have 100% magic but twilight didn’t so this made antagonist alicorn mad but didn’t do anything since magic didn’t seem to exist until sunny and the rest of the mane 5 brought it back this caught antagonist alicorn eyes and she still seemed to be selfish resulting her to wanna take the magic for herself. That’s all I hope you have more ideas

[@schluvyi]

Twilight’s apprentice is luster dawn.

[@kalamariunicorn6071]

what if..its...Twilight's daughter? don don donononononon

[@mayramorales7297]

For the people who ask "WHAT ABT THE SUN AND THE MOON?" the gems raise them. OKAY? Good.

[@sykeassai]

I'm curious what in the comics changes this theory.

[@tarotmoondream7993]

The middle pony on the Stan glass looks like her student at the end of the last season

[@infurnobeauty9249]

Well weve seen that when a alicorn becomes evil or overcome by the shadow/darkness there name changes with there appearance so could she be flurry heart??

[@ellesandralady8596]

I think it happened long after luster dawn because I didn't see her at all. I think the crystals are a symbol of harmony or something similar

[@noahking9611]

I still think it is radiant Hope from G4 comic book and some how she became evil

[@seanbaby7796]

Well, I don't think the comics are canon to the show or series so it could still work...

[@brentonlipford2847]

A pretty good theory but you left out two very important characters who would never allow that to happen first off there's Spike who would always be at Twilight side and since dragons are immune to magic including alicorn magic that plan would never succeed secondly you have discord who is also not would not allow something like this to happen because of what it would do to Fluttershy Solve these two problems and it would be a great theory

[@NathanielPiscian]

All I can ask is what happened to her.

[@ronaldpagar6513]

And why can't luster dawn and her friends stop her? Aren't they The New mane 6 and the chosen ones of Equestria or aren't the new mane 6 and the chosen ones of Equestria?

[@-Minsung-]

My mind is blown!😯🤯😶

[@iceluvndiva21]

I think both the journal of 2 sisters is true. Luna and Celestia were born alicorns outside equestia. The alicorn tribes had been killed.

[@emanuelbaigorria3932]

it was confirmed that twilight created the unity crystals, this information is from the new official g5 comic where discord comes out.

[@peppermintplush10]

I think it’s the Pegasus because the expression the Pegasus has in the window looks evil to me.

[@olvialee7221]

That’s not Twilight Sparkle

[@skoff-the-artist]

Hey, just wanted to let you know that around 6:56 you showed a fanart of three ponies from "working class", and judging by their appearance, one of them represents Crimea - part of Ukraine that was occupied by russia in 2014. Her mane is drawn in the colors of russian flag, too. The pony also has a Z mark on her cheek, which is currently a russian symbol of war and genocide of Ukrainians. I hope that this slipped past you only because you're not familiar with these signs, but be careful next time

[@Chancyge]

+

[@shocked_kitten]

Twilights apprentice betraying twilight, I’ve heard of this before, :points at Star Wars:

[@shymel7806]

I still want to know what happened to discord he kinda like immortal so where is he

[@robertfinley3715]

Idk about any of this. You said it before the crystals act like windigos. Twilight might have seen the slow degrade of friendship, and decided to establish immediate consequences for disharmony.

[@SunnyDelight736]

But whatever happened to the crystal heart? I thought that would be a big deal.....

[@icecreamlid]

Ye. She is worth so much

[@harrymiller7083]

That can not be Twilight sparkle she has purple hair with a pink stripe this alicorn has white hair and she's dark purple coat.

[@sevencolourdreams]

Why do I still think that the Alicorn is cozyglow. She looks same as her. Although a little darker. But cozy still believes that magic of friendship is " rightfully " hers

[@elviehisola99]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 rest in peace twilight sparkle 😔😔😔😔😔

[@tharusha9870]

This is video is not right because of chapter 2

[@AudreyBeaulne-vb6jw]

That's impossible because as Twilight sparkle is still alive as an alicorn.

[@JJ-nh2hh]

Opaline isent twilights apprentice cause we saw when opaline told her story that she was at the same age as princess celestia and luna

[@Diee..]

Is that a new movie that is like a second season to the first one?

[@AlyssaLovesToVacuum]

The apprentice’s name is Opaline! I just found out!

[@dancingwithpalmtrees]

ooh! if its right, remember u called it

[@LightningGryphon]

What about Luster Dawn at the end of g4 I think maybe she could pull a sunset or nightmare moon or whatever and destroyed harmony and friendship I don't know just a theory
