Correction They did not use souls in the other characters

[@Unc1e_Jeff]

I’m really late but I have a theory that Joey invited Henry to put his soul in the ink demon

[@spartanlinda4767]

I imagine that the reason bendy was in the real world with Audrey was because she was still technically fused with him when the cycle reset, so, via the rules of possession/fusion, they are permanently stuck together

[@ThatShadow_inyourCloset]

Or she just decided to bring him with her

[@themusicboy9766]

Yeah in chp5 there's a audio log talking about how they can't have that thing wandering around the studio so they probably could bring things in and out of the machine.

[@ThatShadow_inyourCloset]

I said it as a joke, I WASN’T EXPECTING FOR IT TO ACTUALLY BE TRUE XD

[@tje.o.a5477]

hah

[@RedX03]

Actually it’s possible that by forcing bendy to view “the end” was considered her conquering him by the rules of the ink realm. According to Wilson, doing that will put the realm in the hands of the new champion, being Audrey. Being bendys freaking Insane she thought it best to bring him out of the ink world for everyone’s sake

[@4Four_Studios]

I like how different Bendy's motivations are in Dark Revival as opposed to Ink Machine. In Ink Machine, he was the ruler of the cycle, and was a mistake at creating living cartoon entertainment. He spares Henry on multiple occasions because that was his creator. When he was first created, he was harmless. He watched the workers of the studio, trying to learn more about them. He never wanted to hurt anyone, but because he was so misshapen, he was locked away by Joey Drew because Joey was afraid of losing money. The Ink Demon was the victim of Joey's corporate greed. His mindset in Ink Machine, though he never says it, is to become perfect; to become the Bendy he was supposed to be, because deep down, he IS Bendy; Always wanting the attention and the spotlight, and doing whatever it takes and having as much vanity as necessary to make it happen, Instead of constantly being reminded by Buddy, Joey, and a lot of others about how much of a monster he looks like. He's not a monster in this game; He just looks like one. In the words of Jessica Rabbit, he's not bad, he's just drawn that way. In Dark Revival, something different happens. He is taken hostage by Wilson and the Keepers in an effort to torment him and find a way to KILL him. When this fails, he is pressed into a smaller form against his will, but... he's finally perfect now. He looks more like the Lil' Devil Darling himself than EVER before. But, instead of getting the praise and recognition he thought he'd get for being perfect, he is locked away AGAIN. Trapped in a different form, slowly losing the memory of the monster he once was. Until, Audrey shows up. A complete opposite to the Ink Demon. When Baby Bendy touches her hand, the Ink Demon realizes her true origins (Audrey being born from the machine), and finally remembers HIS OWN origins. And finally, breaks himself out of his different form. His realizes that his old goal of becoming perfect for all to see and FINALLY being the Bendy that was intended by his creator was in vain, because, thanks to Wilson, that came TRUE, but he was still locked away regardless. He knows now that people will see him as a monster and a mistake no matter WHAT he becomes. And now that he realizes the true monstrous nature that this world pushes him to be, he finally snaps. And, remembering what Wilson, the Keepers, and EVERYONE ELSE DID to him, the Ink Demon is MAD. VERY MAD. Also, notice how that The Ink Demon in the first game is a PERFECT blend of Baby Bendy AND the Dark Revival Ink Demon? That's gonna be relevant later. No longer set on being perfect (As he realizes that doesn't matter anymore) he sets out on a new goal: To reclaim his domain of the Cycle and OWN the fact that he's a monster. When he breaks out of his toon imprisonment, he becomes the DR Ink Demon, being COMPLETELY void of ANY semblance to the Lil' Devil Darling he tried to be many cycles ago, and sets out to KILL Wilson, Joey, Henry, EVERYONE That ever wronged him or will ever wrong him. And he succeeds in killing Wilson and Joey, but, he was redeemed in the end, but how?An entity, a toon such as the Ink Demon, with a monstrous appearance, persona, and kill count in potential hundreds of thousands. HOW? HOW could HE be redeemed? Well, because he chose to. When Audrey flashed the End Reel in his face once again, he sees the reel of film that showed his days as a toon once again, as he has seen many times before. But this time, it's different. He looks at the reel with better eyes. He realizes that since Audrey's here and fused WITH him, he could finally go to the real world and escape the dreaded Cycle. He never wanted to be a monster, he was forced into the role by those around him. But now there's a choice for him: He could go with Audrey and be the Little Devil Darling in a world that would actually ACCEPT his cartoonish appearance, or he could stay here and continue to be the monster everyone TOLD him he was. He had a change of heart. Realizing that he can't change who he really is deep down, He chose the former, and finally got what he deserved: A chance. In summary, if you REALLY look at the story the pigment of BATIM/BATDR is trying to tell us, you realize that while Ink Machine Bendy is very one dimensional (You would be too, if the world around you was scripted so that you would always fail), Dark Revival turned him into a complex character with inner turmoils and struggles, and it did this by changing the script and giving him a chance to be what he really wants to be. Great Villain, great character arc.

Dude, why doesn’t this have more views. This explains so much to me, like how inky (ink demon imma call you inky) was more of a demon than bendy in dark revival. Also I didn’t play the game nor did I watch anyone’s full play through of it.

[@theparrishshow9803]

I like to imagine the ink demon similarly to AM from “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream”. His backstory is definitely torturous and he very much was abused. But that doesn’t excuse the things he’s done. Just because he was harassed by his creators, doesn’t mean he’s innocent. He is still very much a monster, just one who was treated as such.

Great vid! Although you forgot to mention how he was became insane (which is not outright said but is implied) when he was locked up by Tom, making him evil, and also, how he was physically tortured by The Keepers (they say they ripped his limbs off with metal). Poor guy never got a chance.

I didn't know about Keepers experiments But I remember the thing that he's possibly evil because he was locked up

[@SimplyUnst4ble]

One thing I never understood is Wilsons plan. It is basically said that the Ink Demon IS the cycle. He is so intertwined and connected to the cycle and the world, that once he dies the WHOLE WORLD AND CYCLE RESETS. Which means that he can never be killed permanently, since once he dies, the cycle starts again.

[@DeerhoundProductions]

The End is what restarts the Cycle. I'm pretty sure if you just kill the Ink Demon without the End, then the Cycle would be fine

[@SimplyUnst4ble]

@@DeerhoundProductions I actually don't agree. Joey said that Bendy hasn't seen 'The End' and from BATDR we know that it is IMPOSSIBLE to kill the Ink Demon, as he is too powerful to be destroyed. Combine this, it could be that the 'End' reel only will reset the cycle if the Ink Demon sees it, other than that, it will be fine. But hey, the lore can still get bigger, especially with 'The Cage' coming.

[@RockyWolfTheEditingWolf]

​@@SimplyUnst4bleI am 3 months late but Bendy HAS seen the end, MANY times. We know this because of Bendy And The Ink Machine, "The End" tape restarts the game back to the beginning. Everytime you restart you make him see the tape and we know from the scratch marks you can see on your second playthrough that Henry has been through the cycle quite a few times. Joey's statement is made during the first restart of the cycle, after real life Joey has a change of heart and decides to give his story a finale. This is the very first time the cycle restarts but by the time BATIM actually rolls around its been probably years since then. And also why Wilson's plan DID make sense was because Shipahoy dudly was MEANT to be as strong as Bendy was. In order to claim the cyle a creature AS strong as the ink demon must kill him, hence taking the throne. Wilson had two ways to win the fight, to weaken the ink demon using the depower stations AND to use Audreys power. Audrey seems to be more powerful than most of the other ink creatures due to her ink demon esk hand. especially at this point with all the upgrades she get. Audrey was meant to complete shipahoy but Wilson, a weaker soul, was pushed in instead. Audrey then turned off all the depowering stations and weakened shipahoy The already weaker variant of dudly now weaker from his fight and without the stations to protect him from Bendy's true power is then killed by the Ink Demon. If his plan had succeeded he likely could have won. [No hate meant by this, just wanted to explain]

[@sunsetlover123-y7c]

What if the reason Bendy/The Ink Demon has so much power is because he possesses Godly origins? In chapter 1 of the first game, it's said by Wally Franks that Joey is offering stuff up for "The Gods", what if the Ink Demon is some kind of reincarnation or off spring of these gods, and explains his ridiculous power? It sounds kinda ridiculous but at least explains Bendy's ridiculous power lol

[@mrreyes5004]

Ngl it would also explain why the Ink Demon eventually learns human language by itself without needing books or teachers. When the Ink Demon was first born, his young mind was basically a lot like an animal running on instinct. But when he grew older and more experienced, he automatically began absorbing information and learning way faster than any human mind. So, the Ink Demon becoming smart enough to talk without education in _Dark Revival_ would also be explained by the Ink Demon literally being divine in some way.

[@thesweetbunny-fazbear]

I think it's because he is the main antagonist of the script made by Joey, and because he Can absorbs people like he do in the game, so he is absorbing the power of other❤

[@DeerhoundProductions]

After the Ink Demon dies the Cycle resets back to the start of Chapter 1, where the Ink Demon is still alive. After BATIM, Wilson interrupts the cycle, so the In Demon is still alive.

[@Sonsthestudio]

Basically, every time henry Kill ink Demon with the end in batim,the cycle or the ink world reset and back to chapter 1 Batdr event happen 10 year after batim,wilson mess with the cycle and frooze it by imprisoning characters that have effect on the cycle

[@theparrishshow9803]

The End reel doesn’t actually kill him, it just resets the cycle.

[@SimplyUnst4ble]

The Ink Demon IS the Inky world itself. He is so deeply connected to the cycle and the world itself, that when the End Reel disintegrates him, the cycle is reset. So basically, he is IMPOSSIBLE to kill permanently.

Now look, I get here is cool. Don't get me wrong. I thought that, but I don't necessarily think that so it because I've sort of left this franchise, and it's because it's dead like seriously, it's genuinely dead. And also I feel like by dark revival, they made him into a pedophile. Like genuine, he seems like a pedophile. Considering what he did during this game But I think there's one, that's a bit better.That is disrespected and ignored, and it's the projectionist, because i think that it's stupid how he died. In chapter 4, even though he he clearly shouldn't have died because he could have just Spam. Kicked the ink demon as he was about to rip his head off and immediately just launch him back nkohm, not just except his death. And also, if they just gave him the end wheel or hell, maybe even a Tommy gun in his head, he could probably be an unstoppable weapon and can easily just slaughter the Inca demon. And I feel like because of that, it could be powerful, not to mention he could probably project cover in some way and be an unstoppable God weapon. A thing to destroy the ink demon and turned him nothing more into a stupid searcher. I tell you if they just give him the end wheel that he has been needing for so long.He can probably be an unstoppable being
