what if ranboo was the one that wrote the revival book and just forgot about it? becuase if you think about it, if he doesn't remember his past, it would be safe to assume that he is black and white because he is half something and half something else- but what if his white half is actually like... a result of him reviving himself before, like tommy and wilbur's white streak? if he is so afraid of death, it would make sense if he would find a way to avoid that so- bazinga bazonga revive book o-O

cool theory! it is wrong unfortunately :/ it was recently confirmed that dreamxd made and "dropped" the revival book on schlatt's head a while back

[@ComplexlyRoss]

my head canons will always be right in my heart

[@lipopcorne489]

Ranboo didn't wrote it. DreamXD said to Foolish that he droped two books in the world a millenium ago, and that one of them that found (the revival book) and told Foolish that maybe the other one is worth finding too.

[@Sinappisoppa482]

@@Venus-kx9hf Ranboo has also wanted a new character for a long time

[@AspenBreeze]

No no you have a point By killing him off, his character had been split into two: his ghost version roaming the overworld, and his other dead version in limbo. From what we know from wilburs death, these two new characters will be very different from the original c!ranboo ESPECIALLY if he gets revived. This gives ranboo a chance to not only play a less lore based character (aka ghostboo) but also have a chance to rewrite his original character which is where we might possibly meet “reviveboo” Just food for thought :)

[@djlko8027]

I cant find where tommy had a white streak in his hair. Wilbur's was because, as I see it, he spent more than 10 years in limbo, so hes going to age. I like the idea of ranboo giving his lives up for the revival book, but this opens a LOT of questions. for example: Would dream still revive technoblade to see what would happen (prison podcast) if theres a risk he loses an oppurtunity to revive people (one of ranboos canon lives)? Also ranboo would've had to give up his lives MANY months in the past, before Sam banned him from visiting. ALSO why would he kill tommy, its a wasted life, he didnt need to die, if the revival book feeds off peoples canon lives and ranboo is his minion doing stuff outside of prison, surely he would think twice before killing and then reviving someone? Also him having/reviving the animals in the disc war finale would cost a canon life, but i could see the revival book having some info on how to revive animals without costing a canon life

[@skylanderspizza]

Tommy having a white streak in his hair tends to be a fan art thing, that I don't think was ever cannon. Although the fandom does use the white streak as an indication of someone who has been revived. But yeah, only Wilbur has the streak, as Will was the only one who had a skin change when revived. Also I was thinking the same thing, Dream reviving Techno makes no sense if the book is connected to Ranboo's lives, Dream is an insane necromancer, but I doubt even he would waste resources like that.

[@marpie0076]

Maybe Dream doesnt care about wasting canon lives because he can "use" another person...

[@djlko8027]

@@marpie0076 who would he have access to other than punz?

[@nary._]

If Ranboo ever gets revived, would he get 3 streaks than just one? He had 3 lives, you know.

[@mossyhills]

I'd like to note that Dream couldn't bring back Ranboo whenever he wanted to. After Ghostbur died he went to Wilbur's limbo basically taking his place so Wilbur could return. So I don't think the person can be revived until their ghost is gone. So Dream would have to kill Ghostboo before he can bring Ranboo back.

[@thefirstfox5097]

0:53 damn bro just roasting MC Streamers like that. This theory explains so many loose ends! I never thought about it this way!

[@pandemoniumxd5369]

I think the theory that Ranboo and Charlie only had one life because they're mobs, or related to mobs, is interesting. But I have my own personal theory as to why Charlie "died." I write it like that because I don't think Slime lost a life, at least not the way people think. One thing slimes can do is subdivide into smaller pieces. Charlie showed he can do this to in multiple streams by giving small pieces of himself to others to hold on to. These pieces have also been shown to still hold some connection to Charlie. Not to mention, in Charlie's room you can see slime blocks on the walls. I propose that when Charlie fell into the lava, his main body of slime died, but the pieces of him that were scattered in his room attempted to reform himself. However, there wasn't enough slime to properly replicate Charlie's previous form and thus the body was lacking in function, couldn't speak and could barely move. Also Ranboo losing his lives as an exchange from dream to revive someone is cool, but doesn't make sense really when you think about it. Awesome video either way!

[@hawai567]

I know that I’m very late, but why do you think that it doesn’t make sense about when you think about Ranboo losing his lives an an exchange from Dream to revive someone?

[@pandemoniumxd5369]

@keiko izawa hi! I didn't really think someone would respond to this. It's been a while since i wrote this, and some time since this video was made. To answer your question depends on the amount lore you're caught up to because lots of the recent lore definitely disproves the idea that dream was using ranboo's lives to use the revive book. If we're talking why, at the time when I originally wrote my comment, I didn't believe this theory made any sense. Well, I'll be honest, I can't exactly remember now as it has been a while. If I do remember it, maybe I'll add another comment explaining why. But do know, as it stands, this theory, while interesting, didn't pan out in the end.

what if Dream took 2 of Ranboo's lives in order to refill his own lives back up to 3, with Ranboo's enderwalking state he wouldnt even know about it. might also explain their connection and Dream's possible use for Ranboo. of course its juat a theory and likely not true because of other evidence...

[@hawai567]

Although this wasn’t true, it is an interesting theory.

[@Ashidk13]

Did anyone else kind of have a small break down when he said that techno most likely will request Ranboo’s revival the next time him and Dream cross paths? Watching this now, they will never crossed paths again..

[@kha8939]

My theory: Ranboo is made of two half of some type of creatures so when Sam kill him, Sam may killed both half and it counted as 2 lives.

[@kliwenadshorts3870]

But then still, you get 3 lives, so he would still have had 1 life left if this was the case.

[@Someoneidk7808]

Then, by that logic, Ranboo would have 1 canon life left.

[@lipopcorne489]

There is a similar theory on youtube that I find very interesting

[@arlo9754]

an then he died because he lost 1 canon life to a llama back during tubbo's l'manburg

[@Creeper_Pug]

but wouldn’t that mean there would be 6 life’s before meaning 2 lives are left?

[@joannen1738]

Theory: if we look at the prison podcast stream when techno and dream are trying to see what happens when they try to 'revive' techno, Dream noticeably punches techno during the process, something which nither of them mention really and just move on. This could mean that in order to revive someone, dream could need some reminant of the person themself. Think about it- Dream obviously would have something with Tommy's DNA when he revived him, and he could've needed Ghostboo himself in order for reviving wilbur to work. If this is true, the delay in reviving ranboo could be because dream doesn't have access to anything with ranboo's dna or a direct connection to him. This could leave room for two things he could possibly be after: Sam's sword, and Ghostboo.

[@sarka2008]

I do not believe that the revival book is tied to ranboo in that way or anyone else simply because it would be incredibly stupid for dream to waste that power on tommy and then trying to revive technoblade while techno was still alive I just feel like it's incredibly improbable and dream is smarter than that I obviously could be wrong but I don't think I am Edit: the new hitting on 16 thing that Wilbur soot uploaded to AO3 proves that ramboo couldn't have been tied to the revival book in the way where it would take his lives

ok so this is my theory: ranboo was revived by dream at some point before dream revived wilbur. i think that when u revive someone, u r given a kinda psychological link with the person who u revived. i think that this link gets stronger over time. the reason that ranboo has memory problems is bcs the link between him and dream is getting stronger and dream is starting to control the link. this is also y ranboo can hear dream’s voice. i think that dream is using this link to control ranboo and the bond between them is so strong that now dream can literally give ranboo’s lives away. i think that when u revive someone, it’s a life for a life. so ranboo had 3 but dream used the link to give 2 of ranboo’s lives away, so that wilbur and tommy could be revived.

Techno really didn’t want Ranboo to die, I don’t think he was thinking straight, only thinking that he could kill them and save Ranboo. I wonder, would Techno give up a life to get Ranboo back?

[@nayr711_]

Well they are best friends in lore and real life

[@skylanderspizza]

I don't think it's a far leap in logic to say that he would. After all, Techno is willing to work with Tubbo in order to learn more about his friend's death. Tubbo, ya know, the person that he's been at odds with since Manburg. It's safe to say that Techno cares a lot about Ranboo. It also wouldn't be far of an assumption that he would give up lives to save Phil and Niki as well. It's kind of clear from Techno's will that he cares about the other members of the syndicate as if they were his family. So yeah, if the revival book does have a life cost, then Techno is the prime candidate from paying that price. Although to be honest I don't see Ranboo coming back soon. Out of character Ranboo said that he was going to use Ghostboo to fix problems with his character, so I don't see him being revived for a while.

[@starcycle4308]

I think so. Ranboo had become like family to Techno after L'Manberg and Techno even said "Those who treat me kindness will see that kindness repaid 10 fold", which applies to Ranboo as well. I think Techno would give up a life to revive anyone in the Syndicate - Phil, Niki, and Ranboo. Although if Dream turns out to be in the Syndicate I'm not sure if he'd lay a life down to save him.

[@runeuchihawhatifsandgaming3783]

[@Ryu-yq3sr]

Theory (I still haven't watched the video): I think the reason how he lost 2 lives is related to to dream using the revive book. In order for dream to revive someone, he has to use another life to revive them. So I thing Enderboo gave away his 2 live for dream to use in the revive book

[@11blackninja36]

I like this theory of not all revivals are done without a cost. The Book really serves as a gateway for the soul to the host!!

[@nephele16]

I think the reason Dream said he owed Techno a favor, even though what Techno did for him was him repaying a favor to Dream, is because he knows that Techno cares about Ranboo and that, knowing Dream can bring people back to life, he would ask from him to bring Ranboo back, which he can use to make people believe that Ranboo's inevitable resurrection is because Techno requests it and not suspect that him and Ranboo are secretly allies This is highly possible, since, as you said, Dream has shown how good he is at keeping his alliances a secret (I'm especially referring to Dream and Punz secretly working together without even us knowig it) and he is also exeptionally good at planning far ahead, seemingly having a plan for every possible scenario, so it could be that it was not a coinsidence that things happened the way they did and that it was all part of Dream's plan, but I guess we'll have to see

[@runeuchihawhatifsandgaming3783]

Fun theory, and there's definitely a lot of potential for either answer with Ranboo's character. I feel like he's definitely got something in store for that little plot thread that's going to be reallly interesting to pick up on. It's probably nitpicky, but one thing I think you may be connecting dots for that aren't there is the white half of Ranboo, and the "white streaks in the hair" thing. Tommy having a white streak from being revived is just a fanon/headcanon thing, as far as I'm aware anyway, and Wilbur's stated before that the white streak was from him going grey-white due to stress and age. Very good video though, Im really hopeful for what Ranboo has planned for us!

Nobody realised his mental health slowly falling from manipulation not just from dream but his own friends,being pushed to do things, nobody had ever actually helped ranboo during ranboos lore.

I have a theory: what if dream took Ranbo 2 lives since he's connected to him in a way that he is a part of him. After dream escape the prison he took ranbo 2 lives so if he got surrounded and they killed him, he will be gone, but since he took ranbo 2 lives, he wouldn't have to worry about that knowing that ranbo was going to die with the one life, he didn't want to risk losing His other 3 live for his big plan?

[@EveioxVT]

I've got a cool theory! So y'know how ranboo has two sides, one enderman, and one unconfirmed mystery side. When ranboo was killed by Sam, maybe that killed the mystery side, enderman side, and human side at once, causing Ranboo to become a ghost after his first death. I could just be overthinking, but you know how deep these storylines get!

[@spac3dust]

I think I have a theory on why Ranboo died when Sam killed him. So my theory is that the two hearts in the video werent Ranboos,One of the hearts in the video is Ranboos half(The Enderman half) and the other one is Ranboos other half(The "Ghast" half). The third heart would be Ranboos Enderman half and the "Ghast" half combined into one whole heart. So when Ranboo died he died completely...But Ranboos Enderman half and his "Ghast" half are still alive....?

[@justsomeferalminor]

That would make the revival power less overpowered, too. SOMEONE loses a life, you just get to chose who. Also puts a lot of moraly grey implications on doing so, unless yours is the life your sacrificing, and even than, if that loses the world that power, it may have bad consequences.

Because if traces of his 'white half' are being sent off with the person who is revived then it's not like he's going to get a 3rd part to him. So with his ender walk going off more often thats an advantage to Dream as he in some way controls the ender walk.

[@drsupriyobhattacharya7422]

Yeah no we saw ghost schlatt

[@NotBach]

@@drsupriyobhattacharya7422 You mean, Glatt. That's his ghost counterpart, and if you watched the Dream SMP a lot, or at least know what's going on, you should know that a person and their ghost counterparts are two separate entities, or person, like Ghostbur and Wilbur, or Ranboo and Ghostboo, Boo for short.

But the thing is white hair is not common because tommy has not said that he had white hair. Plus, having a few strands of white hair were from stress that the void had given. The white hair theory emerged because tommy's thumbnail artists drew him with white hair but the white hair doesn't come back in the other thumbnails which means the white hair connection is false. Plus, we know how much dream smp cares about symbolism tommy not having white hair was unlike wilbur he had spent only some time in the void and had accepted his death. Tommy again and again that you shouldn't go through revival which is honestly a big thing.

[@Snoopdog2034]

My personal theory is; - Ranboo went into his enderwalk state, Dream killed him twice in preparation for something like this (Foreseeing it because of his favour with Techno) - Dream went to jail - Dream was broken out by Techno, with Ranboo and Connor - Sam killed Ranboo taking his final life - Dream will revive Ranboo to get closer to Techno or form a better relationship with non-enderwalking Ranboo to convince him he's "not a bad guy" and give the same speech he did with Sam but altered - *Dream and Ranboo will become allies in part with peer pressure from Techno telling Ranboo that Dream is good for reviving him*

[@ric9761]

Hold oooon… so Dream lost 2 lives, and Ranboo's 2 lives are missing… and he also has a white half…? What if he's part Enderman and part Dream? If Dream dies, Ranboo dies. This explais the so sad and incredibly detailed Ranboo limbo…

[@rickbill06]

Well remember that ranboo visited dream while on sleepwalking. Sam maybe thought they were friends.

[@markolesh2003]

You what would be cool? If Techno's ability was that his lives are directly linked to the voices in his head, and the lives he reaps become new voices in his head. The catch is, instead of losing a life, whenever he dies, a single voice disappears. Because he hasn't died in a long time, those voices have been accumulating to the point of thousands of voices in his head.

[@starshifter4]

I was just thinking that the enderwalk thing side of Ranboo died so now he was free of the curse and everything is good now. And your telling me that there is a possibility that he's the key to the revive book?! If this is true and someone catches on to this then it could mean horrible things for Ranboo, given how desperate everyone is for the book.

[@sammyjims2852]

I think Dream may have used his connection to ranboo to take away to of ranboo’s lives and give them to himself that he would once again have all 3 lives

[@rainyday6512]

0:28 I’m still waiting for Niki spawning withers to come back to bite, she almost lost a life to Sapnap

[@aradumb4749]

This is my personal theory: Many people speculate that Ranboo's second half is a ghast because it is white with a red eye. Ranboos character is known for being really sad and so being sad means crying, we also know that ghast tears are an item in minecraft and ghast tears make regeneration potions. So maybe dream or the voice in ranboo's head took over ranboo to make him cry, making ghast tears so they can make regeneration potions thus being able to revive all these people, and just like how you said in the video that wilbur and tommy got white streaks in their hair, maybe that is a side effect of the ghast tear, because that item is also white.

[@Ultamatebatman]

Ranboo picking up the grass block might be because he has said in the past that it soothes him

[@whisp.eredwillow]

Hear Me Out, I don't think they should revive ranboo. So, my theory is that if we revive ranboo, we wont get ranboo back, but instead enderwalk. isn't it suspicious that ranboo is acting kinda normal? take a look at ghostbur for example, him and revivebur are complete opposites! ghostbur being aliveburs "good" side and revivebur being aliveburs "bad". if this is how every ghost functioned, then ghostboos situation just doesn't make sense. what if ranboo is there, he thinks he remembers everything, but he doesn't. He doesn't remember enderwalks memories. so what if, senario time, tommy goes to dream, sacrificing something to him to bring ranboo back. Who's cannon life gets taken to bring ranboo back? I don't know. But what if, when they do all that, ghostboo dies. they go to where ranboo had died, and see an enderman, staring at them, that enderman being enderwalk...

[@stormSeven]

/RP What if Dream and Ranboo’s potential connection works like they’re connected until either of them dies and then whoever survives have three lives again. Imagine if Tommy and Sapnap manage to kill Dream and for him later to wake up completely fine as if he wasn’t on his last life and torment Tommy only to act like a ghost as soon as anyone else came close. It would be kind of like Dream. Imagine. Tommy goes back to his house with a feeling of victory and prepares to celebrate his victory, FINALLY, after all this time he’d finally won. For real this time. He’s met with the man who should be DEAD who smiled at him. “Hello Tommy.” The green man smiles at him. “You should be dead! Are you a ghost or something?” Tommy steps back. Dream laughs. “Did you really think it would be THAT easy for you to kill me?” Dream takes out a netherite axe. “No no no no this can’t be happening” Tommy runs away back to Sapnap in panic. He tells him that Dream’s not dead yet and he doesn’t know why. “Tommy, I met ghost-Dream, he’s not Dream. He’s changed.” Sapnap says and gives Tommy a look. “No no Sapnap it was him he was there he was in my house!” “Tommy I know that man did some fucked up shit, maybe you’re just hallucinating, Dream is probably rotting in limbo right now. Ghost-Dream might look like him but he’s dead” Sapnap looks worried. “M…maybe you’re right…” Tommy responds. No one would believe Tommy and they might think he’s crazy. Dream would act completely different when others are around but as soon as it’s just him and Tommy, he’s go back to tormenting him.

[@mchowdhury4043]

What if as well as bringing back people from the dead using the revival book you could also take someone's lives and give it to someone else (and that someone else could be dream) which could be a reason why his 2 lives faded away

[@fizea3884]

If you seen a lore or video Wilbur said “I took one of ranboo life” and he said that to Phil if you want to watch it I think it’s called wilbur confesses

[@charliethegamer1815]

i have a theory. My theory is ranboo wasn't put in prison, he was forced in there, sort of like blackmail. Yes there could be the fact he was in enderwalk, but we also have seen before ranboo is self aware of placing grass blocks, in technos stream ages ago when he first told techno he has the power, this means ranboo is aware of him placing grass blocks. However the reason i think he was blackmailed into the prison is because of michael. Awesamdude did a lore stream after the prison break stating 4 days before, he found michael (michael was previously hidden by eret because michael was threatened of being killed by a forfeit by hannah) and kidnapped him. What this means is awesamdude would have leverage over ranboo, and ranboo not wanting his son to die would willingly go to awesamdude's side (the prison in this case). This is also stated by the fact that ranboo returns to awesamdude while the prison break is occuring, since awesamdude threatened to kill michael (during the prison break he shouted it out that he would kill michael). This would also leave him with leverage over techno, but how he knew having leverage over ranboo would lead to having leverage over techno i have no idea. This is also backed by the fact ranboo is part of the syndicate, and we quite clearly see that techno does not want ranboo to die, and even second guesses himself because he doesnt want to leave ranboo, but this failed as dream didn't care about ranboo, leading to ranboos death and techno getting very angry (again, how sam knew how having ranboo as hostage to gain leverage on techno i have no idea). This is my theory on why ranboo was in the prison.

[@ramenanimations5112]

so, here is my theory, with the revive book, it can bring people back to life, maybe it came with a price, he would have to take someones elses canon life to revive another, wilbur was revived, took away one of ranboos lives to give to wilbur, same with tommy, taken away one of ranboos canon lives torevive him, because of his enderwalk state it would be easy for dream to just take one and give it to someone else. leaving ranboo vulnerable with only one more canon life left. killing him completely.

[@tonijebambus8953]

7:52 yes,book is using lifes as a energy source.

[@drMuggo]

0:08 That really hits different now, doesn't it?

[@sushi4971]

Fun fact about Ranboo the White side of him looks like the enderman at the far lands

[@44Hd22]

6:47 maybe it was the death book but his name(s) wasn’t (weren’t) written fully.

[@44Hd22]

Or a weaker version. Reverse revive book.

[@Smoil3H42]

"Coincidence I think not!" HE SAID IT

[@lavgemini8544]

2:28 While showing my friend the dsmp (EvenMCGaming to be exact really cool vids go check them out and we NEED AND EP 8!!) I don't know if this matched up with the timeline, but she suspected that the explosions where from Quack man trying to blow up the egg, which is why they can't find any evidence of TNT
