I LOVE how bristlefrost is following in her mother’s footsteps when it comes to acting loyal to Bramblestar. Ivypool pretended to be loyal to Hawkfrost and the other dark forest warriors and Bristlefrost pretends to be loyal to Bramblestar (in the second half of the book anyway) Great video btw!

[@nectarinn3]

Yeah, that's pretty good. Although I'm also glad that they made her a follower type - actually, i hope she becomes the next thunderclan leader because of it. Being a leader that has a hard time giving out orders when challenged and constantly second-guessing her decisions, while also looking for a more experienced cat to follow would be pretty interesting for her. Honestly I'm just wanting bramblestar dead and never coming back. The impostor has made plenty of bad decisions so far, and making a cat unsuitable to lead deputy would be a cherry on top. Plus a not-great leader that isn't just evil could prove a breath of fresh air. Ooof that was a mouthful, sorry :P Tl;DR is that i want Bristlefrost to be a dysfunctional leader in the future, mostly for flavor. Don't have to agree or disagree, just wanted to say my words on the matter and unfortunately this comment was my way of doing it.

Dapplewing of AspenClan I have a theory about that. If a cat fades, it doesn’t necessarily vanish. It’s spirit could still be lurking around, but with no physical form. And that would make it possible for the angry spirit to regain form, but through another cat’s body.

I thought you wrote “Ashfur’s body” lol

I actually think that’s what happened due to the mint stench. Mint is an herb they use on dead bodies to keep away their rotting stench and AntFur was the most recent death and therefore the only body that would still have the scent so most likely, Antfurs body was dug up and possessed

Lots of people hate Bramblestar but the poor guy can't catch a break - he's the son of the worst, most notorious villain in the series who he looks just like and even when Tigerstar dies he forever has this shadow hanging over him; He later gets chosen to find a new home for the clans as their old home is being destroyed and during this journey his friend/ ally dies and he's still not totally trusted even after this journey but then he finds his long lost brother who also looks remarkably like Tigerstar and the two really start to bond BUT WHOOPS that brother is evil! Gotta kill him or he'll kill your clan leader, previous mentor and actual father figure ... so he does. Things finally start looking up for Bramble when he's named the clan deputy, has a loving mate in Squirrelflight and they have 3 kits EXCEPT NOPE THEY'RE NOT HIS! OH, ALSO IT'S TIME TO FIGHT IN SOME KIND OF AFTERLIFE CAT WAR ... aaaand your clan leader/ ex-mentor/ father figure actually dies this time as well as your adoptive daughter whom you love and raised as your own - TIME TO BE A LEADER, I GUESS!

I'm personally hoping that the Dark Forest is involved in Ashfur's plot, too. They mention in Squirrelflight's Hope how the Dark Forest is being overgrown by vines, and that the cats of StarClan don't know where evil cats go when they die anymore. I would love it if Ashfur was working with the Dark Forest to destroy StarClan and the Clans from the inside. Plus, this would give the Erins' a chance to bring Maggottail back, that evil Dark Forest cat who showed up for literally one line in the The Forgotten Warrior and then was never seen again, but was described as being "the oldest" of the Dark Forest cats. He could be a sort of Emperor Palpatine character, now that Tigerstar is dead. Either way, having Ashfur team up with the Dark Forest to create his ghost army would certainly make things more interesting! After all, with the Dark Forest overgrown, who knows what happened to Darktail and his Kin? ;)

[@lauraleeurbin5108]

Sascha King of Rainbows exactly! Hawkheart got so much more development in yellowfangs secret and tallstar’s revenge that it almost made him quite likable. Making hawkheart a villain would ruin him as a character for me honestly -.-

[@oTwT]

Two face cats be like

[@paigeg7365]

Good theories, however there is one thing I think you missed. Look at the cats Ashfur is coming up against. Not only are they respectable, well known warriors. Ashfur wants revenge. His main goal when he was alive was to hurt Squirrelflight. If Leafpool survived she would no doubt be exiled as well. He took over Bramblestar, Squirrelflights mate. Dovewing- one of the three, leverage on Tigerstar. Crowfeather-Leafpools once mate. Father to the three kits who hurt him even more. Lionblaze, Jayfeather -Squirrelflights kits, pretty explanatory. Mothwing-Leafpools friend as well as Jayfeather. Then we reach Sparkpelt. Squirrelflights actual kit, hurting her would hurt Alderheart in the process. All these cats are related to Squirrelflight or Firestar. The only one you can't explain as much is Twigbranch. But she is the kit Alderheart rescued and he cares about her well-being. I think this is why Tree was cut out. He is farther away from squirrelflight and the group of kin. But he would also be seen as a threat if Ashfur does have ghosts on his side. I think the ones who save the clans and Bramblestar will be those who die when starclan is blocked. They can fight Ashfurs team and maybe find a way to reestablish the connection of Starclan and the clans. Ta-da

[@altos5069]

Agreed. I think these cats were all chosen because of their personal connections to Leafpool and Squirrelflight. Twigbranch is the odd-one-out, for sure, but I think it does have to do with Alderheart. Tree was probably listed originally because of Violetshine, or because he poses a threat with his ability to see ghosts.

What if the reason the Ashfur Gang(tm) hasn’t tried to infiltrate Skyclan is actually BECAUSE of Tree and now Rootpaw? Since those two can actually see and talk to spirits they might pose a massive risk to whatever plan these cats are cooking up.

[@averypalmer-sammons7251]

I do agree with you but remember how Shadowsight said that all his visions weren’t from Starclan? Maybe or what if the tribe of endless hunting has their own kind of dark forest and since the power of three origins there along with the rest of the clans they are trying to get revenged when the clans saved the real tribe of rushing water all those moons ago in the mountains against that other group of cats. I know this is probably really stupid now that I’m thinking about it but it’s still another theory 😁

[@nectarinn3]

Ehh, i've read worse theories... But why would this supposed dark forest of the tribe even know about the clans? And why would they care when it happened so long ago?

I have an idea of how should be the final battle since the rabies theory I know now that is not rabies what made Bramblestar act strange but imagine if Ashfur and his allies discovered the rabies in some way and tried to spread this sickness so that they can kill them without attacking them and so no one notices their plans Ok now... So the final battle The clan territories had some kind of zombie attack (rabies) a stupid human in the forest saw them, got scared and started a fire Bramblestar's plans where exposed some way, the fire takes over the territory and the fire scene of Ashfur repeats Now the epic way it had to be The ground is on fire, cats escape into the trees while the fire ir rising up Bramblestar is chasing after Shadowsight, Bristlefrost and Rootspring, since they are the ones that frustrate his plan To make it more emotional, Alderheart or Sparkpelt are with the 3 (or even both) being chased too Bramblestar jumps into a branch but almost falls into the fire Shadow, Bristle, Root and Alder or Spark are terrified by Bramble, he has completly lost his mind and tries to kill them even when he almost falls Then he sees his sons, standing in the branch terrified of him (Bramblestar recovered his body but Ashfur still has him under control) But he manages to talk by himself and Ashfur can't gain control again his voice is heard screaming "Attack them!" but Bramblestar (almost back to normal) apologizes to the trio and his sons And then he releases his claws from the branch and falls into the fire Inmediatly a flying monster (helicopter or plane) drops water from the sky and the fire dies And so that could be what i consider a perfect ending for the last book of The Broken Code

At first I thought the figure who attacked Shadowsight was a dark forest cat who survived the battle in omen of the stars, but when you talked about Antfur and shadow clan’s bad luck it seems more reasonable that if this figure is some kind of spirit it could have possessed the dead warriors body. Besides didn’t you say that some dark forest individuals survived after the battle?

[@makiroll6277]

Gosh diddly darn, I've only read half the book, but you've motivated me to read more. This theory made me brain explode, but I love it. Great theory!

[@CrystalKitty1220]

*Edit; A bit of a theory* If Dovewing and big parents in the series were possessed then I'd expect the hints to be more like the Melissa Chapman scenerio from Animorphs. If you're not familiar with that series, basically it's sci-fi but the aliens are mind controlling parasitic slugs called Yeerks, and the only people fighting back are six kids with animal morphing powers. Anyways, the Yeerks had gotten control of Melissa's parents. The Yeerks, being able to read the minds of their host, knew exactly how to act like Mr. and Mrs. Chapman. But they couldn't recreate that motherly or fatherly love. They couldn't put the same time and care into their hosts' daughter. So that's exactly what I expect to happen if any big parents in the series end up possessed; the kids would be the first ones to realise. That could also be the reason the Erins made a bunch of the "code-breakers" have kits.

[@jstratto18]

Me and my friend thinks it’s hawkfrost even though he’s faded, Hawkfrost has a relationship with almost everyone he names in the code breakers. Also Hawkfrost and Squirelflight did fight, it would explain him not knowing the camp nor not remembering names, or events. Ashfur knows who the cats are and the camp (excluding new cats) so why is he doing this if it’s ashfur? It’s something you over looked. Also with your theory of all clan leaders getting possessed includes mapleshade which is also faded (or dead twice) so taking that into account it’s not too far fetched.

[@lizbray4253]

Okay, this is crazy and even I don't believe in this theory: The scent of MINT, like a HAWK. mintkit, snowkit. kits who died young are somehow becoming old enough to attack, and are helping Ashfur, he had two littermates, elderkit and tulipkit who I'm sure woud give him info on the exiled cats, they want to live full lives. mintkit, marigoldkit, hopekit and wishkit are somehow willing to kill shadowclan cats. Mintkit and Snowkit have teamed up against Shadowsight in a shared temporary body ( most likely Antfur, his body would not be good for permenant use as it was buried for a while). So the theory is just that kits are taking over.

[@crunchywater1178]

Akira I think that Bumblestripe and Berrynose have already been possessed. Berrynose was always a bit of a jerk, but Bumblestripe was never specifically mean to anyone. He was a kind cat. Even Berrynose wouldn’t go as far as helping the impostor be cruel like that.

Plot twist : bramblestar wasn’t bieng controlled he just got tierd of squirrelflight

[@alyssavonhollen1898]

Okay here’s my theory that I have put together through my and others ideas. I’m on board with Ashfur as the imposter so I’m not gonna go through that what I’m gonna share is my theory for ShadowSight’s attacker. So first off the mint stench that was mentioned. Mint is what the medicine cat put on dead bodies basically. So HawkHeart’s mint smell would have gone by now. But who was the most recent death, and close enough to be able to attack ShadowSight. Ding ding ding AntFur. Yeah yeah I know it can’t me AntFur AntFur but what if, like BrambleStar, someone took over his body. Now there could be many many cats that took over antfur’s body and I’d like to hear your ideas.

When your still reading the third series: TwT

[@funky2121]

Lolll yeees!! I'm reading Dark river😂😂

[@rainstriderstreamflower5645]

Yester it occured to me that Greystripe was a cat who was an offfical codebreaker but was ommited from Bramblefake's list. It's worth mentioning that Cloudtail was excluded as well!

[@immershinesudios1998]

YASSSS :)))) New BooOooooOooooOoooooKkkkkk!! YEeeeeEeeeeeEeeeet

[@BR41NW0RMZ]

um im pertty sure is actually darktail. why the frick else would he be brought up so much and so suddenly?

[@maizy1548]

The fact that he gave Bristlefrost Squirrelflights duties so she can spend more time with him!! That confirmed it for me

[@ultimategamer7910]

I’m not that far into the series yet but I believe it’s either ashfur or maple shade, please do not freak out XD but my friend already read those books and she said during the battle against the dark forest, maple shade ran off from the fight, I don’t know the is for sure what happened but once I get further into the series I will peice this together!

I reckon Bramblestar is being possessed by Tigerstar I. Tigerstar I is also talking to Shadowsight. First off, the voice Shadowsight talks to is a disembodied voice coming from darkness. Not the sunny meadows of StarClan, nor the fungus-ridden forest of the Place of No Stars. Just...darkness. Now, according to the Ultimate Guide, when Tigerstar I's spirit was killed, he was sent to 'a place darker than any warrior's dreams'. So the setting of just complete darkness would fit that. Tigerstar I is also no longer in a position where he is able to gain power (his main goal in life and afterlife), so he may very well be trying to destroy the Clans that rejected him, which he is doing by possessing Bramblestar, which we'll get onto later. The voice also told Shadowsight to put Bramblestar on the moor to heal him. This killed him, leaving his body free for possession. And, let's be honest, who else would want Bramblestar's body other than Ashfur (who is likely cut off from the living world like the rest of StarClan). The voice also told Shadowsight about the codebreakers. Who did Tigerstar I hate? Codebreakers. Now, onto Possessed Bramblestar. Possessed Bramblestar was very controlling over Squirrelflight. Perhaps this is because she's Firestar's daughter, and he wants to keep her in check. Possessed Bramblestar also exiled Lionblaze for accidentally crossing the WindClan border. When Spotfur did the same, she was just isolated within the Clans. This could very well be because Lionblaze is half-Clan, and if you'd remember what Tigerstar I did to the half-Clan cats in TPB, (tried to kill them all), this sounds just like something Tigerstar I would do. Possessed Bramblestar also seems to have something against codebreakers. If we remember, Tigerstar I's father Pinestar left the Clans to become a kittypet, which was breaking the code. Tigerstar I was also narcissistic and self-centred, which would explain his making everyone else wait for him to eat before eating. Also, when Sparkpelt was sent to the abandoned Twolegplace, dogs were there. They'd been lured there with fresh-kill. Possibly for days. Let's remember poor Brightheart and Swiftpaw. They'd been maimed and killed by the dogs led there by Tigerstar I. Coincidence? I think not. (Here's the link to my official theory; this was rushed XD: warriors-fanon.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:ShiverTheIceWing/my_theory_for_the_new_arc_(contains_spoilers)

[@DivinityBrainrot0fficial]

Wow that actually makes a lot of sense. That's probably who it's gonna be tbh.

[@jasonyu7252]

I love how you talk about ashfur's supporters... It totally doesn't creep me out 😜

[@jupiter7272]

I just finished Broken Code *i probably shouldn’t be watching this....* But the ending to Broken Code was...unnerving to say the least

[@coltonostgaard7968]

You mean Lost Stars?

[@beanieboocousins206]

YaY new warriors booooook YeEt

[@Icepetal01]

Did anyone notice how everyone said that Tigerheartstar was too young to remember the Great Battle? He trained in the Dark Forest, so I'm pretty sure he's old enough. Unless someone went back in time and moved his birth up by a few years

[@SugarMeowYT]

You know "...dropping on him like a hawk." Could also refer to a ghost cat from Star Clan attacking Shadowsight from above as in jumping down from Star Clan to attack him

[@massivelegend3599]

OH GOD I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAD ABOUT THE SECOND BOOK **covers ears** LALALALALALA

[@spacecat_scribbles]

I think Jay lion and crow are also on the list for personal revenge reasons. I bet if leafpool and hollyleaf were still alive they would be in the list.

[@meglain7771]

5:20 remember, if kittypets or loners or rogues or something dies, they wander around. like trees ghost he sees. maybe they are helping out whoever is behind this? (maybe ashfur) like what happened to scourge when he died? he isnt in a clan, so he wouldn't go to dark forest... right? so where does he go? anywhere? nowhere? is he forced to wander alone like bramblestar (the true one)? could ashfur contact him somehow? and most importantly, can someone see him? because if someone can, maybe that person is in on it. there may be living as well as dead cats in on this plot!

[@krmalin221]

You know what I nice thing would be behind the main story sleekwisker gets killed and posses the body of the shadow clan leader and joins with bramblestar/ashfur to get revenge.

[@escheshademarker4038]

i really like your theory, and i think it would be great if this is what ends up happening in the books.

[@grimmcorvid5713]

Imagine if there was like... A living cat villian who could contact the dead and would help them.

[@groudonvert7286]

I think that the first Warrior's series that we don't know who's the main villain after his first apparition as a villain. That's why, I think, Warriors is so open to theory...

[@ericarainwaterthunderthesk1947]

OMG I can't wait to read the broken code!

[@mars1221]

When you are late but tries to cheer up xD 😂😂😂😂😂

[@alexismyers6053]

I think the Erin's may be hinting at one cat, but it's a completely different one. What if the cat possessing Bramblestar is Mudclaw or Spikefur? Adhfur seemed to have come to forgive Squirrelflight and Hollyleaf in Squirrelflight's Hope (or he could have been plotting, idk). Spikefur turned evil and cane to hate the Clans while Mudclaw would actually get to be leader like he wanted. He could be anyone really, the hints could just be the way they decided to write or fake hints meant to make the big reveal even more surprising. We won't know until the time comes.

[@rachelleredd8803]

I love this theory and REALLY hope it comes true. All of this is really interesting and well done, I love the idea of Hawkheart being the attacker, or, as unsettling as it is, of ghost cats somehow entering a dead cat's body and digging themselves from the ground. Great theory overall. It'll be so lame if it's just a predictable story where Bramblestar is possessed and then they just solve that in thr next book, then the last 3 books become Raging Storm.

[@gmer_kiwiofflineplayz8832]

your videos make me intrested this is why i subbed

[@meep8918]

I’m not late, I’m not early, but I’m here

[@starglowwOS]

I think Ashfur cut off StarClan's connection with the clans and sent Shadowsight to have Bramblestar to die on the moor to take over his body and sent him the vision of the codebreakers to give him a good reason to throw the clans into chaos.

[@thatmomentwhen345]

Ooooh it’d be sooo gross if StarClan cats took over a _buried_ cat’s body Gross but cool

[@alyssavonhollen1898]

cARdbOarDFur Draws That’s actually a theory that’s going around. ShadowSight smelled mint off the cat that attacked him. Mint is used by medicine cats on dead bodies to cover their scent and the only body that would have the mint scent is AntFur because he’s the most recent death. So most likely, someone dig up Antfurs grave and possess this body and that’s what attacked ShadowSight.

[@Chaiiuna]

Anyone else noticed the sleek whisker song in the background?

[@kawaiipotato5972]

I looked on the Warriors wiki and guess what I found mint is rubbed on a dead body of a clanmate omg what if it is antfur

[@user-qp1wy7xy3y]

It could be a coincidence, but it describes ashfur’s/bramblestar’s voice as silkily a lot in the book

[@SkyTheSkeleton]

Ashfur, or whoever the ghost cat is, could've frozen over the pool they use in starclan, cutting of the connection. Or, if the moonpool and that pool are connected, froze one pool and the other froze over as well.

[@chick3nwingz]

Tbh I thought darktail came back because in one point in the book it says that, an so DO NOT quote, 'Bramblestar' was making them act like Darktails Kin but then I thought that they wouldn't make two arcs in a row abt the same thing (kinda)

[@Deekay._]

Child: *Mommy hold me!* BrambleStar: *I.Am.Your.FATHERRRRR!* Child: *Screams so loud that all of the clans can hear thy screech*

[@brutallee9984]

But the new Bramblestar doesn't know the territory and stuff. Ashfur would know
