This episode is full of callbacks and references: The night 3 motif plays when nate enters the scene. Mat says: "what are you" in reference to what he says when springtrap is biting? him in the original musical. Baby says: "no more crying, only chaos" as in reference to that lyric in blood and tears. Vanny asks: "irrecoverably" and Lizzy responds with: "more like burned to ash" as in reference to that lyric in web of lies. "You've been twisting the vision" in reference to what vanny does to Gregory's vision in security breach ( maybe ). And probably many others that I missed. I also realised that they cut some lyrics from the song like a couple in the begining and a chorus after glitchtraps verse.

Okay, just finished this and I have questions: 1. MatPat just chopped off his own hands, why did he chop off his hands? Also, if he chopped them off, why are they there in the original FNAF musical? Hands grew back? Robotic hands? 2. Glitchtrap says “You’re not William Afton”, what do you mean? He *IS* Afton! Is this not William but William’s brother? Henry? 3. According to the “Guess the Lyric” video, there was a lyric that was not in this song, what happened to it?

[@itsly13]

for the third question this isnt the full song and some parts seem to be cut, including the lyric from the guess the lyric video

[@thetruebadevil]

I know that Matpat/Purple guy here is the *uncle* of Elizabeth and Michael. So while he is an Afton he isn't William, that would be his brother most likely.

[@ObservingGuest]

This was a great song. Definitely an ambitious one choreographically speaking. Was more focused on the action then the song, so cannot say much about the lyrics. I can say it is nice to see old faces (Markiplier on the Phone and Nate as the delivery man. Nice to see the duo's jobs prior to their weeks at Freddy's. We also have Baby, free from her chip, going on a rampage (on a side note, those researchers got brutalised.) We also have William slicing off his hands (presumeably to leave traces of his 'death' so that authorities do not go looking for him. We also learn from Glitchtrap that the 'William' we know is not the 'William' GlitchTrap remembers, before he is chased from the building. We also see Vanny once more, and learn GlitchTrap's origin. All I will say on that (to keep the suprise) is that the Fazbear technicians who worked on him must have either been on something strong, or completely incompetent to a malicious degree. Then there is the confrontation betwen Vanny and GlitchTrap. As said above, I was more focused on the action then the lyrics, so I will leave the in depth look to those who paid more attention. All I will say was that it was damn good. Finally, we have the cliffhanger; Vanny is gone, and Elizabeth and BB are alone in a building with GlitchTrap and his gang. We also have the next time showing Nate in a car with the main gang, screaming. That promises to be interesting... That concludes part 2. Now time to see how the gang retake Freddy Fazbears...

[@serenabenting]

Here's my theory-Mat isn't William, but Henry. I think Henry and William are brothers in this, since we know that Mat is the uncle of Mike and Lizzy, and the Safety Inspector calls Mat Mr. Afton. But Glitchtrap says that Mat isn't William Afton. So then William must still be the father of Mike and Lizzy. Mat is clearly the killer, and William seems to be the person that trapped Glitchtrap (something that Henry from the games would have done). So they clearly switch the roles of Henry and William, and then tried to confuse us by making them brothers

[@channah_427]

Great Theory 😄 The only thing that doesn't fit is Lizzi's line in Dark remains at 16:50. She says "Uncle William really likes rabbits" while she is watching the therapy tapes. And on top of that did the RE crew confirm in the livestream (FNAF: PREVIOUSLY ON... (LIVESTREAM) at 1:00:40) that "Phone Guy is their uncle, William Afton". They said they did this partially because MatPat does not look old enough to be Lizzi's and Michael's dad. I'm soooooo confused 😩

[@DexWuzHere]

@@channah_427maybe they just said phone guy is William Afton for the people that didn’t see this yet to get a twist idk Or just forgot. People forget actual game fnsf lore and book lore all the time so,

[@Howeydoit]

Okay, to try to make this make sense because I do have an idea: We only ever see mat's character interact with his employees in his bear suit, and he clearly has some kind of voice modulation in the suit (i.e. I think there's a lore reason that david does the voice when the head is on now even though it was probably initially to protect the surprise reveal in the first musical), maybe Mat's character (Henry) is impersonating his brother (William) after killing him. Thus why he seems to be undoing so much of what was already in place at fazbears, which wouldn't make sense if he put it all in place. Also, cutting his hands off feels like he is trying to maybe frankenstein parts of his body with others to hide his identity. Also, an AI would be more perceptive to the differences between, say, two twins than a human, thus why glitchtrap notices he's not William while Nate Morse's character doesn't

Seeing Vanny go against glitchtrap reminded me of my own personal headcanon I like to think about a lot, basically Vanny at some point realizes glitchtrap doesn’t care about her and leaves her to die so she turns on him and does her own thing in order to get revenge, also i like the idea of vanny being a AI programming instead of a actual person, it made me think of what if in the games instead of Vanessa and vanny being directly the same person Vanny was some kinda of AI that managed to possess Vanessa’s body as a way to steal her identity and do whatever she wants. I also really love gltichtraps characterization, he can go from goofy and chill to dark and sinister in a matter of seconds, I hiendly prefer this one over the games version 😅.

Ok timeline check: This plays in the 7 years when Nate first worked at the pizzeria and marks first shift, so even after the bite Nate worked as a pizza delivery guy and mark also meaning they worked at the same place but never actually met eachother because they didn’t recognize each other in the original musical

[@rachela7]

shoutout to those chainsaw, keyboard, and wood noises!! i know at least 2 weeks work went into those bits only and it definitely paid off! never thought chainsaws could sound so good :))

[@reanitaaliyah6428]

FULLY expected this to be the conclusion, so I'm INSANELY excited for that cliffhanger ending. It was so exciting to have Nate and Mark have little cameos for this, well-done all this was perfection!!!

[@dnc343]

There are two more episodes left! “Taking Back Fazbear’s” and “Virus”

[@Br0k3n_Bl0ss0m]

MY JAW DROPPED WHEN MARK AND NATE CAME BACK... NATE LOOKS SO MUCH MORE DIFFERENT NOW THEN BACK IN 2016 :O

[@maddiebeth6]

OH MAN WAS THAT GOOD!! Nate popping up as the delivery driver was INSANE, too!! I CANNOT wait for Taking Back Fazbear's!! AND it's coming October 4!! I AM SO HYPED!!

[@dazzlethestar151]

Wow, the lore here is hurting my brain, but I love it! This story has progressed so much since the original musical and I'm just so invested!!! The Nate cameo made me squeal in delight and that duet with Vanny and Glitchtrap was absolutely beautiful! Marking my calendar for October 4th for sure, can't wait! :3

[@writerofpoetsjg]

Casually had a heart attack when Matpat just DECIDED TO REMOVE HIS GLOVES AND do THAT two minutes in!!!

Gonna need some serious reconstructive plastic surgery them mitts there Phone Guy. I doubt this man even has health insurance!

[@CB_W0lf]

I love the little leitmotifs that play when certain characters appear, like Nate's Night 3 music playing :D I have a theory that Balloon Boy may be possessed by Mike(CG5) so I'm keeping an ear out for the Ground Zero music...

[@starchytart]

If you listen carefully, the intro also have Nate's motif 00:03

[@comedicmayhem]

MATPAT ALWAYS COMES BACK

[@DonovanSpencer-d5q]

*WOOOOOOOO!!!* This was super epic and fantastic! I was not expecting MatPat to cut off his hands. That part shocked me! 1:08 I'll be honest. I didn't know that was Mark on the phone. But going back, I hear his voice now. 😅 Awesome musical, you guys! 👏😄😉👍 P.S. Loved the Nate cameo! 😃

[@CJBooks4]

If it wasn't obvious before that this series has become about more than just singing musical songs it's really obvious now

[@bee_isabee69]

THANK GOD FOR THE MARK AND NATE CAMEO I PRAYED FOR THIS

[@badsums]

crazy as hell that they got mark and nate back

[@plasmaemerald8407]

The sequel we always wanted but never deserved, MARKS BACK TOO? This is going to be more fire than what took out the fnaf 3 location!🔥🔥🔥✨

[@supersparasemim]

you know guys, what glichtrap says in the musical may not rappresent him as evil. "you saw what humans did that day when everything was falling, and now, you call my efforts cruel and attitude appalling..." may be glitchtrap mission wrong (kill humanity ecc.) but originated for a "right" cause?

[@monica_w_0814]

Nate, AJ, and Gwen- Thank you guys for putting your heart and soul into these videos for all of us. Y’all do an amazing job, and I know my life is better for finding y’all and finding this community! 💚 Y’all knocked it out of the park again with this one, and I can’t wait to see Taking Back Fazbears and Virus!

[@AivyLynnvDxx]

Bringing a Nate and Mark cameo in this was the best idea you guys could’ve done😂❤

[@13xPetra]

I am so confused, excited, and intrigued! Matt, Nate, and Mark all in the same video again was insane!! So many questions, as I'm confused at why Evil Dirtbag With a Chainsaw cut off his own hands. Clearly we cannot call him William Afton, of course he was never introduced as such, but now I'm wondering if he's Michael or even Henry Emily (but I thought he was referred to as an Afton).

[@SeraphEChasted_3]

Yessir we back the whole gang's here except Purple Guy and those 2 cops that arrested Mark

[@troytab6089]

The Inspector calls Matpat "Mr. Afton," But the credits refer to the CG5's character as Michael Afton, and Adrisaurus's character as Elizabeth Afton. And I think Elizabeth calls Mr. Afton her uncle in Web Of Lies. And now Glitchtrap has outright confirmed that in this lore, MatPat, Mr. Afton, Phone Guy, etc. - the guy who literally says "They'll find out what I did to yhose kids!" - actually isn't William Afton. He's some unnamed Bonus Afton. A bonus Afton who apparently REALLY didn't like how his hands looked EDIT: I've since realised the following - Elizabeth acknowledges that she has an uncle named William, who really likes rabbits, but she never calls MatPat her uncle. She actually never calls MatPat by any name. On top of that, MatPat has no idea who Elizabeth and Michael - who are apparently William's niece and nephew in this - are. MatPat never calls himself Mr. Afton, or William, through the whole series. The Inspector is the ONLY person who calls MatPat Mr. Afton. And now Glitchtrap actively tells us MatPat is not William Afton. I think the real William Afton is absent, and MatPat is impersonating him in order to run the business, or possibly just working on his behalf, or using his name as an alias since MatPat is a murderer.

[@Linkboi22-222]

Matthew Afton Lol

[@starchytart]

Elizabeth didnt really called Matpat "Uncle", Glitchtrap did while taunting her. Though, she did said "Uncle William really like rabbits" in Dark Remains. Idk where i should go with this 😂

[@troytab6089]

​@@starchytart I've updated my comment a bit to be more accurate after rewatching the whole thing.

[@maxkeegan9183]

So MatPat isn’t _William_ Afton, but he’s clearly _an_ Afton. This was great!

[@kaitee1147]

NATE’S BACK YESSSSSSSSSS. honestly this musical is one of the best i can’t wait for the next.

[@creraetion]

SCREAMING THE CAMEOS ARE SO TOP TIER AND THE QUALITY???? OMG

[@Cyberlove2024]

This musical was spectacular and an amazing masterpiece! First, we have matpat and Nate back for another set, second circus baby has finally escape the facility, vanny vs glitchtrap, and last, a cliffhanger for the next part of the FNAF the musical, and I can't wait for the next one! Great job you guys! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯

[@Clairebell3]

WOW, just WOW, I still can't process everything that happened! The song is a banger and the special effects during the glitchtrap vs vanny fight are simply astonishing. Another masterpice from RE :D

[@ashleylightheart126]

Glitchtrap: Human are too scared to face me. Markiplier: *walks in with at least 4 shot guns*

[@brookez3116]

Glitchtrap: you’re not William Afton Me: what do you mean he’s not William? There is no one more William than him

[@toxivillain8351]

this makes so much sense since this arc is like a prequel series to the first 5 nights events, Nate and Mark worked at the same place, this is probably how Nate met the animatronics, he went took the security job so he can see them again after they got into his car

[@goldenbunny7743]

Welp... Vanny's dead, MatPat cut off his hands in a state of insanity, and NATE AND MARK CAMEOS! Glitchtrap is such a wicked villain, and I am just ready to see how Freddy and the gang manage to stop him Edit: When I saw "this program is already running at the end" I literally then thought "VANNY'S COMING BACK!!!" But, only RE knows if I am right or wrong

I saw the Nate cameo but I think I missed the Markiplier one. Is there a timestamp.
