[@britanimations2002]

I've always thought it was Mangle, and since the mystery of the bite has been silently dropped, we'll never get any evidence disproving Mangle and no other animatronic fits the bill as well so my verdict is that it had to have been Mangle. As for who killed the Phone Guy, I loved how you were able to use sound to determine who it was, I think there aren't many people out there who really think about the fact that Phone Guy was in your office at the time of his death, so game rules and sounds apply, I've never really seen an analysis like that. However ii still think Golden Freddy killed him, just the fact that he can jumpscare the player and end their game in both Fnaf 1 and 2 proves he can kill and interact with physical objects to a degree. Also its possible that the Fnaf 1 GF is not exactly the same as Fnaf 2 GF, we know that two souls inhabit GF, Cassidy and Cryingchild, it's possible that Fredbear/Fnaf 1 GF represents CC and Cassidy is represented by Fnaf 2 GF so different ghostly rules apply. Since Fnaf 1 GF only disappears and reappears as apposed to having a floating head appear in a hallway, it could suggest a more physical presence than Fnaf 2 GF. But that's just my interpretation, since Chica was in the office at the time of the attack its always possible that she held him in place while Golden Freddy actually did the deed, but I'll let you decide what you think

[@sayakamaizono2468]

I always thought the Bite of 87 was highly over analyzed by the Fandom. It's clear Scott Cawthon never intended for it to be important, and I think he just needed a way of telling the player that the Robots are dangerous and are capable of hurting people, so he added a small story about one biting a kids frontal lobe off. That sends the message that they're dangerous perfectly fine. However it became another case of Fans taking something in the lore and ramping it up to grand importance.

[@camoking3609]

well to be fair you could argue that scot kinda hyped it up himself in FNAF 4 with the iconic 'Iz ThAT THe BiTe Of 87!?" only for it to end up being a 'gatcha!" moment and it's reveled to be a completely different biting event that we've never heard of until now

For the Freddy handprint: It is seen on FNAF 1 Repaired Freddy. The bite took place back when Freddy was withered (FNAF 2), and Withered Freddy lacks the prints. That means they are literally not connected to the bite in any way

[@FlowerHaze]

I believe that those handprints on Freddy's face are actually from the bear himself. In the West Hall corner, there is a rare chance that the Freddy poster hung up on the wall will change to a poster of Freddy pulling his own head apart, with his hands in the exact same positions as the handprints on his head in the photo.

I would like to add something! It's implied the '87 bite victim was an employee rather than a customer! The toys are connected to a criminal database so they can protect the kids from possible predators. However this facial recognition system doesn't really work well, causing their staring problem with adults. In the same line where phone guy 2.0 states they act differently with children, they also state they're almost aggressive towards staff workers. Due to their nature, I doubt it would be a child victim as they show no resentment towards them and that includes Mangle so that slightly makes her less likely.

[@adorasock3104]

to my knowledge the toys don’t actually detect predators or connect to a criminal database, they’re actually set to detect william afton, to keep him away from this location. the animatronics messed up and mistook you (micheal) for him, which is why THEY are trying to attack you.

[@AWarlockOfUnimaginablePower]

Actually- FNAF 2 isn't Michael, or at least he isn't Nights 1-5. Michael is theorized to be Fritz Smith aka the guard during Night 6 but the guard transferred to the dayshift during the party at Night 5 is actually Jeremy Fitzgerald, the paychecks are different. And yes, the toy animatronics' purpose was to prevent William from keep him away but they actually are connected. In fact it's theorized by some that William, using the Spring Bonnie suit, actually tampered and with the sensors to make them malfunction.

[@silentsnoop1899]

While you're right about the employee getting bit, there's a different reason for it. The malfunctioning facial recognition is a lie, made up by Phone Guy, to explain Toys' behaviour, just like the endoskeleton lie in FNAF1. Remember that they're possessed by 5 kids, killed in SAVETHEM minigame. And as we know from FNaF2, William is the night guard before Jeremy, which is exactly why the animatronics try to kill Jeremy too. They don't need to recognize the face, they just see the uniform and go insane. Posting him next to the animatronics during the day is asking for trouble. What did the PG say? "Stay close to the animatronics. Remember to wear your uniform."

[@s04p11]

Imagine it's because mangle is so broken down (kids taking her apart and stuff) that the criminal database corrupted in mangle's system and mangle just attacked someone

[@islao4616]

I think it's most likely that the victim was Jeremy Fitzgerald

[@britishguy54dx]

There’s multiple things we need to know. Withered Bonnie, Balloon Boy and The Puppet get eliminated because of no functioning jaws to bite with. The Withereds can’t do it, because if they did, the toy animatronics wouldn’t get scrapped, the older models would. That eliminates Freddy, Chica and Foxy. Then the Toy models. I doubt Toy Bonnie. His jaw doesn’t open that far. Might scrape a bit of your head, but thats it. Same goes for Toy Freddy. I also doubt Toy Chica. Can she open her beak? She can remove her beak, but can she open it substantially? That leaves Mangle. The perfect culprit. Close to the kids and the adults. Kids keep taking her apart, Jeremy tells the kids not to mess with Mangle, boom, Mangle strikes.

Also, consider the following: Foxy is thought to be, even by the employees, the most dangerous animatronic of the original four, with sharp teeth and a metal hook. Other Foxy's keep the tradition of looking stabby like, but that's because they look like FNaF 1 Foxy. Mangle, on the other head, looks way too nice and friendly to ever be considered scary, with a white and pink body color palette and red rosy cheeks. Funtime Foxy also looks a bit like Mangle, albeit with more parts everywhere. Funtime Foxy actually has no hooks, if you notice; both are hands. But how do both Mangle and Funtime Foxy attack when they get you? They appear from below/top and open their mouths wide. If they can't claw you, then they'll have to bite off, keeping the Foxy tradition of being dangerous. Edit: Forgot to write this here but Mangle's circuits and body parts being mish-mashed by kids could also explain the hostility of Mangle, allowing her for maybe even sharper teeth than they seem. I dunno, they took out an eye and put on a freaking head on him from nowhere, so really these kids' magic have no limits to whatever they feel like pulling out of their asses.

I don’t think it’s Mangle because of a few big reasons: The Phone Guy told Jeremy to stay near the animatronics during his day shift, and where are most of the animatronics? The Show Stage. Mangle is being taken apart by children, so they couldn’t do anything unless they were quick enough to escape the children (An unlike the logic in SFM animations, Mangle couldn’t have used the force to pull themselves back together). The bite victim couldn’t have been a child either because according to Phone Guy again, the animatronics interacted with the kids perfectly fine. Another thing, the way the jumpscare is positioned makes it to where Mangle bit off Jeremy’s entire face instead of just the frontal lobe. Mangle’s jaw size also is too big to do solely damage to the frontal lobe, unless they didn’t use their entire jaw to bite the victim, there’s no way they could have done it.

I think phone guy’s death went like this: he closes the left door, causing Foxy to bang on it. He pulls up the camera, and opens the kitchen cam where he hears Freddy playing the Toreador March. Chica sneaks in while he’s looking on the cam and starts making noise, and phone guy then switches to the left door cam, where he sees the Golden Freddy poster. He quickly pulls down the cam, where Golden Freddy kills him before Chica can, explaining why we hear his jumpscare. Despite being paranormal, he is capable of killing, as he can do so to Mike Schmidt.

There's two details you forgot: Mangle is a canine controlled anamotronic. They were a result of Afton learning to use remnant. They were given a voice in UCN due to fan's arguing about it's gender so you hear both in its speech. Hilarious. Golden Freddy is controlled by two souls - Cassidy (the vengeful child of UCN) and crying child (Afton's youngest son). There is no endoskeleton in his suit. He most likely left an opening for Chica.

[@awesomeaustenkitty]

Here’s why I think it’s Mangle ultimately: If one of the original bit them (which the old ones shouldn’t even be OUT during the party lol) there’s no way those old models would later be redesigned to the FNAF 1 location. Phony Guy wants the guy to carefully watch the animatronics to “make sure nothing goes wrong” this would entail to the “FUNCTIONING” animatronics, we would assume the party would take place in the main dining room so try all of the toys to perform for the kids, and with Toy Freddy, Chica, and Bonnie all present, including BB and Puppet, there’s only ONE animatronic that was NOT present! Mangle stays in KID COVE! Also, people say Mangle is just a take apart/put back together attraction now, so they could assume they wouldn’t really need to watch out for her since she’s not even physically capable of doing anything, or so they thought… Here’s comes to the final evidence that PROVES it was Mangle! Mangle can crawl on ceilings, and kids and adults would be focused at the party and the animatronics performing, and of course, if the security guard (the one who got locked in the pizzeria on night 6) was having to watch on the animatronics, he would’ve been able to get away from the animatronics if they decided to start attacking him, as he’s supposed to be keeping a close eye on them! BUT! Nobody is checking mangle as there is no need to! And this ultimately shows how the security guard lost his frontal lobe… JUST LIKE FNAF 2, MANGLE COULD’VE DANGLED RIGHT ABOVE THE GUARD, AND THEN BITE ONTO HIM WITH NOBODY NOTICING! To recap, here’s the reasons why I KNOW it’s Mangle! 1: None of the old animatronics coulda done it cause they were broken down therefor wouldn’t be at the party, this also would make sure the old models were gone for good IF they DID do it! 2: Bb and Puppet don’t have mouths able to do that, and they are attractions so somebody would’ve noticed them. 3: The main 3 were performing on stage while being watched closely by the security guard in the purple uniform. 4: Mangle was the only one not where the party was being held, so nobody had to bother keeping an eye on her, plus, she’s mangled up so they, again, can assume Mangle wasn’t physically capable to even more around at all. 5: An animatronic fox jaw would definitely be able to cause fracture to your frontal lobe knowing the animatronic’s design. 6: Mangle is able to crawl on the ceiling, which would prevent her from being noticed more easily. 7: Everyone else was focused on the other animatronics and the party, they would have no reason to look up at all to see Mangle crawling forward across the ceiling. 8: Mangle is logically the ONLY animatronic that could’ve done it based on where the animatronics were and what state they were in! 9: While the security guard would possibly be able to get away from a bite from the other animatronics that he’s right next to, watching over, he wouldn’t notice Mangle, so he wouldn’t have ANY way to to escape her bite on him! And Finally…The Key Evidence…! *10: Notice how up to this point every animatronic has been used in the same restaurants, despite being on display, or even just for parts? Well, in the FNAF 1 pizzeria, there was no trace of the toy animatronics AT ALL! Just the old models! This is because MANGLE was a toy animatronic! So when she BIT out his frontal lobe in 1987, the company would completely scrap the toy animatronics, for safety precautions, and to avoid future law suits!* With all of this info, MANGLE, WITHOUT A DOUBT, WAS THE CAUSE OF THE BITE OF 1987!!!! >:D

[@bigpoggers6507]

I personally think it's Toy Chica. She can remove her beak so the endo teeth, the ones that would actually deal damage (A sword made out of plastic sucks compared to actual metal.) so it would make less sense for somebody like Toy Freddy with their big snouts to be able to deal enough damage to straight up remove a frontal jaw. This is also why I don't think Mangle could've done it, she has the most amount of plastic teeth so her endo teeth would be the least exposed. Also, Mangle gets tore apart everyday. Her jaw would be quite bad. The kids have to had messed with her head since one of her eyes are messed up. Toy Chica has A. Easy access to actually sharp teeth B. The easiest place to bite people, most people would be at the stage. C. A jaw joint that hasn't been beaten up. These points are why I think Toy Chica did it.

Mangle has always been my favorite animatronic. Her schtick is just so unique and the fact that he's so uniquely tortured by her role as a "pull apart and put together" animatronic adds extra intrigue to the character. I also wonder if maybe Foxy's "Out of Order" sign and the general belief from a lot of staff that he's uniquely dangerous could be related to Mangle causing the bite - as they see Foxy as a different version of Mangle and therefore just as potentially dangerous.

With Mangle being most likely as stated she would have a reason to cause the bite since she was abused so much would most likely hates all humans espically kids. Poor Mangle. She probably only wanted to make children happy at first. (Yes I see Mangle as Female don't argue with me with that.)

Amazing video, it really brings me back to the days of more simple FNAF theories. As much as I love the franchise, the story is ridiculous lol. As a kid, I thought it was foxy, but I realized that the sharp teeth would've been made of plastic, probably not strong enough to go through bone. Plus, his snout would've been too long to expose the endoskeleton teeth. I see a lot of evidence for mangle, and I think it's plausible for him to be the culprit. She *is* the closest to kids after all, since it's a take apart & put back together attraction, but there's still the issue of plastic teeth, which is why I'm a toy chica truther. She can remove her beak, plus the animatronics are pretty big, so maybe a head could fit through the hole that the absence of a beak would create. I wouldn't be surprised if it was mangle, but I like to think it was toy chica gaslight, gatekeep, girlbossing her way into some poor soul's brain matter 🤷‍♂️

I agree with everything in this video, expect for the phone guy bit, the Chica breathing bit isn’t too reliable for evidence that she killed him, because that could’ve been either Bonnie or Chica. I also feel like you forgot the hand mark evidence on freddy, that and his power song has more evidence that he killed phone guy over Chica. You never hear a jump-scare scream in that phone call except for golden freddy, I think it’s possible you hear that scream because golden Freddy stopped the phone call, leaving only Freddy to finish his song and phone guy alive for a few more seconds after the phone ends. Also another thing, foxy banging on the door that much would be enough to drain all of the power phone guy had left, meaning probably not long after the call ended the power probably went out, leaving only Freddy to finish the job.

[@NatterJohn]

Here’s my theory: The bite culprit has to have used the Endo 02 model. The bite couldn’t have been done using the plastic teeth the animatronics have on their masks. The reason is because Endo 02 has sharp teeth whereas Endo 01 has the same plastic teeth the masks have. This change was likely made in response to The Bite of 87, which solidifies that the culprit had to have used the Endo 02 model. This immediately rules out every animatronic that doesn’t use the Endo 02 model leaving us with The Withereds, The Toys and Endo 02. The culprit can’t be Endo 02 because it’s unlikely that an Endoskeleton would be allowed to walk around freely during the day. It also can’t be the Withereds because the were locked away in parts and service. It also can’t be Toy Freddy or Toy Bonnie because if you look into their mouths at 24:27, you can clearly see that their Endoskeleton teeth aren’t visible if you look into their mouths. That leaves just Toy Chica and Mangle. To be honest, I believe this could go either way but I am able to narrow it down to just one of them due to a single detail mentioned by Phone Guy. He said that before the bite, the animatronics were allowed to walk around during the day. This disqualifies Mangle because he is a take-apart-put-back-together attraction. It would be impossible for Mangle to walk up to Jeremy and attack him if he was dismantled during the day. And before any of you bring up how he could move around in Mangle’s Quest while being dismantled, just keep in mind that those were the same mini games where the animatronics were able to jump (something we never see them do outside of mini games). What I’m trying to say is, just because an animatronic does something in a mini game, doesn’t mean they can do it in the main game as I doubt those mini games are in any way literal. That leaves Toy Chica as the only animatronic who could possibly have done the bite. She uses the Endo 02 model, she was allowed to walk around during the day and her Endoskeleton teeth are exposed. She has almost no major evidence that contradicts the idea of her being the culprit and ticks all the boxes that would make her a suspect in the first place. That’s why I believe it was her who did it.

The main thing that cements Mangle as the culprit to me is the way her mouth is built compared to the other toy animatronics. While yes, Toy Chica can remove her beak, the hole you see her endo teeth through might still block her endo teeth from actually reaching... her and the other mainstage characters just don't seem as capable of opening their mouth wide enough for a forehead given the way they're built... But Manngle's Jaw is shaped and separated just like her withered counterparts. With her jaw not confined to an odd mold or socket like the others, she can open her mouth wide enough to actually fit a head in there. At least to me.

23:52 The problem with it is that toy chica, without her beack, can't move her mouth. There's no articulations.

It was the paper palls 💀💀💀💀

While I know I'm late to the party, and it's been a while since I played fnaf 2 so my memory may be skewed, I hope you'd be able to discuss what *was* my theory. As you discussed the victim is most likely a staff member as the animatronics behave weirder to them, and in night 4 or 5 phone guy says a day shift has opened up for you. This could be the result of an attacked member, and is supported by the night 6 conversation in which he says to make sure no one gets hurt, as this is the first time he acknowledges it as a risk, i.e an attack has happened recently. We don't continue on to play in this day shift (its five *nights* ) and this would support the idea of michael afton being the guard and simply not arriving at that shift, and not being the victim.

Though I know mangle is a high suspect I really wish it was Freddy. He's the series antagonist, yet he doesn't have much lore. It upsets me lmao

[@thisisveerus6667]

If it makes you feel any better, his springlocks counterpart did do a number on one Afton's kids hah.

I was thinking about this for a while and I have a few problems with the Mangle theory. I think that the jaw is the issue. It appears to be broken as it hangs open throughout most of the games. Plus, if the jaw went onto a human head, it would get a bit more than just a frontal lobe. Toy Chica's Endoskeleton mouth is much smaller and would fit better. Also, the Mangle's mouth is made of plastic. Yes, it may have a metal structure underneath. But, if you look at the top of the head, it's mostly plastic. Plastic can be quite brittle. Also, Chica is implied to be able to move around more where as Mangle seems to be restricted to the kids cove.

[@lysander.o.c.3580]

Other things I want to add. If anyone says anything about Mangle's mouth opening during the swing down during the Jumpscare. Gravity would pull the jaw down to Mangle's other teeth if they are hanging upside down, and the jaw could have just opened up during the swing either due to air filling the bottom jaw, causing it to swing open, or they still have a little control of the jaw. I don't have the Mangle in my possession, so I can't test the jaw. And the most force generated would be at the endoskeleton's jaw as the rest of the jaw would be weaker and have less force applied.

​@@lysander.o.c.3580Do you believe that Toy Bonnie or Toy Freddy did it?

[@Aducky9291]

Even with chica’s endoskeleton it would not cause a full removal of the frontal lobe

As a wise man once said, WAS THAT THE BITE OF '87!!!

[@TheUniqueen999]

well, markiplier is wise

[@MischievousMan23]

Personally I think it’s Bonnie, but I am waiting for the new game to understand it fully. This is because I believe the new game might help my theory slightly.

[@undyingUmbrage413]

hot take, it was toy chica. obviously i don't have a lot of evidence to back this up, but she has a voiceline in fnaf ucn that says, "Where's my beak? Lodged in your forehead, of course." it's a bit on the nose, don't you think? it's honestly the most evidence we have for any animatronic. i would like to mention: it HAS to be a toy model for them to have been scrapped. i'm hesitant to call mangle a toy animatronic, given his fixed form in fnaf world is called funtime foxy (not going to say she IS funtime foxy, that's ridiculous and by this point in the lore funtime foxy is a part of ennard, but it's an interesting observation nonetheless). plus, if it were mangle, it would be easy to call faulty wiring because of his broken down state. at worst, she would have been scrapped and the others would have been kept. it then comes down to the main 3, and between them, toy chica is the most actively hostile. plus, we have no idea how far she could open her beak. same goes for bon and fred, but because her beak protrudes from her face, she would have the easiest time latching onto someone's forehead.

[@terezi3558]

remember the simpler times when we all collectively thought it was fnaf 1 foxy 😔✌️

[@The_SootSprite]

I always thought toy Bonnie did it, since I believe the shadows have something to do with agony (example: shadow Freddy, agony from the missing children who were stuffed in the animatronic bodies, therefore shadow Freddy is the agony of Gabriel’s, Cassidy’s or possibly crying child’s death), and then we have shadow Bonnie. If he was formed by agony, like shadow Freddy then something must have happened in order for him to become a corrupted sorrowful figure of his original form, which led me to think he caused the bite, bringing shadow Bonnie to existence as agony of previous events (AKA the bite of 87).
