Life is Strange fan theory: Is Nathan a time traveler?

[@SomniumStrife]

I don't think it's time travel - more or less seeing into the future - precognition/premonition .

[@brushrunner]

In episode 5 when you scream to david in the dark room jefferson turns around and says "HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?" but i really want this to be true cause Shaun Prescott leaves a note to Nathan explaining that he would teach him in the family ways. So much confusion, it makes my noose bleed.

[@katekulinski4105]

I really think they made cuts

[@Nayuki9111]

I love this theory, but if he was a time traveller he would go back not to shoot Chloe.

[@joanna6anana]

if uve listened closely, she said Nathan can only travel to the future

[@carrot1160]

Joanna Chen how did he return back in time and told max the storm will kill everyone if he can only travel in the future.

[@BruceWayne-tm9rh]

ueno Because he goes to the future, then comes back to present time. Unlike Max, who goes to the past, then ends up in present time with a changed reality, Nathan can't make reality change, he basically only knows the future.

[@nateking33]

With all realities existing simulatiously, he travels by shifting his consciousness. He is an interdimensional time traveler.

[@NoobCubeTube]

I really love this theory. You went into great detail and provided it with great evidence. I applaud you.

[@katski9432]

+NoobCube Thanks!!! I try.

[@NoobCubeTube]

katski The only thing I struggle with now is: How can they rewind so far (like 8 years or so)?

[@isabellahernandez4407]

I think we need a prequel or something following Nathan and his thoughts with the events leading up till Max’s return

[@hayden594]

The way she said “No big daddy, I won’t take your pills.” 😂

[@zennshio]

Nice catch. I didn't even think of the "End of the World" party as more than just a reaction to the supernatural events, or the fact that the Vortex Club is named after the event that Nathan could have foreseen as well. If repressing Nathan's powers passed it on to Max, then perhaps the next episode, someone else will be able to time travel, too?

[@satuurnedits]

Its the Tobanga theory. Nathan's family has a deep cultural/relogion thing about the Tobanga. They worhsip the Tobanga since their ancestors did. I guessing that through the Tobanga Nathan got to know the future

[@Manesson]

Your theory is interesting and makes alot of sense , Dontnod confirmed Life is Strange 2 will focus on a different protagonist so it might be about Nathan and we'll probably learned that time travelling is messing with his mental health , the game's story could begin in jail and a few minutes or hours after Chloe's death.

[@GhostFan-ev4di]

nope

[@magentamage]

that would be so good

[@aria-oh9ux]

There is one thing that still confuses me. When you were talking about how Max couldn't time travel because of drugs, I looked at Nathan's pills but they aren't bad drugs. They're good drugs. So I was thinking, maybe Nathan's dad made it look like regular drugs but they really aren't. (Spoiler) As you may know, mr. Jefferson said that Nate overdosed Rachel. I think that he didn't and It was the drugs and that's why he said he didn't want to take the pills. Maybe mr. Jefferson helped Nathan's dad to do that so Nathan could kill Rachel instead of him killing her since she was so liked everywhere and they would go serious on the investigation. Then they probably would have figured out it was him. Since Nathan's already done his job and he didn't want him to tell anyone about it, he kills Nathan. As you may know, Nathan told Max everything about mr. Jefferson and mr. Jefferson checked Nathan's phone and saw the text so he decided to get Max earlier than intended. Instead of drugging Chloe too he kills her. Maybe he brought a gun because he thought Max had a gun or maybe he brought it because he knew Chloe had a gun. He might have went there and got shot by Chloe so he rewinded time and brought a gun instead. The thing is, why would he show Max that drugging her stops her power. Then she knows that whenever he's about to drug her, she should rewind time. I think mr. Jefferson is trying to help her by showing that she should stop rewinding time for Chloe or he will stop her by drugging her and he tries to kill her so she stops rewinding time. I think he knew the ending of Max and Chloe because of his rewind powers that is not actually stated yet because he is showing that life would be better if she didn't save Chloe. (This is all thought by myself and I'm sorry if there is a video including this it's just that I probably haven't seen it.)

[@aria-oh9ux]

+suzy jung Also something to think about. Max was safe in the dark room throughout the storm so Mark Jefferson and David might still be alive... Or maybe just David if you picked for him to kill Mark Jefferson. I think that Mark Jefferson also knows Max has rewind powers because since I think he does, he might be able to feel her rewind time.

[@julietwatson4642]

suzy jung excellent.I agree but we all aren't sure if this is actually true

[@raquela9821]

but if jefferson is a time travel everytime max returns to his class wouldn't he be surprised aswell?

[@calvinjoseph3803]

If anyone else has time travel power, it's Pompidou

[@gordoneuomolibero363]

Heaven's Night music ... oh my god, what memories Silent Hill 2 ...

+MrSixty wait about your last comment doesn't she see the vortex in a dream before the bathroom scene tho?

[@user-uo8ni4xm9x]

+katski yea but she went in the future

[@sophiaelatrouchi6352]

I think this theory is very sensed cause it also explains why Jefferson would drag peiple in the dark room and most of all jill them. Maybe the Sean Prescott wants to get rid of all othe time travelers, being aware of their existace, and Jefferson joined to help him (and maybe being a time traveler himself, he would do that to stay alive). So the binders are only about suspects of time travelers (i said suspects because kate is not one, if she would have been she would have gone back in time and erase the video), but Nathan is not included cause he is Sean's son afterall.

[@sophiaelatrouchi6352]

sorry the mistakes and bad english btw *Jefferson would drag people and most of all kill them*

[@GhostFan-ev4di]

Wrong

[@leofrancile9307]

Wow, this theory is great! I suspected something like that, but you clarified my thoughts. It makes so much sense!

[@MasterSho02]

I don't know why. But when Max called the beret in the school when Chloe and her were trying to break into the principal's office "Twee", than later on when Nathan called Max a "Twee" ... Dike? Don't remember. But it seemed so odd. Like I started thinking Nathan could read Max's mind or something.

[@lookatmyright]

Holy shit from this! I just got thinking that maybe the Season 2 main character is Nathan Prescott? since Max might loses her power, maybe Nathan will step in to save Max, or Max and Chloe (depends on your ending)

[@JustAllura]

I was always under the impression that Mr. Jeffershit could time travel tbh

[@kaydee4589]

I really love this theory! You did a really good job at providing detail for you explainations I feel like sean prescott has powers also but not mark. Sean probably uses his powers to hold marks secret of abducting people against him which is why mark looked intimidated when he was on the phone

[@gavoserch]

3:33 Death Note Soundtrack lol +100000

[@natlik5326]

I really loved lis 2 but I really think this would be a better story line for the game then lis 2. This sounds so cool and I think this is somehow true. But there are rumors about lis 3 so I hope they will do something like this and explain finally some questions about Rachel and Nathan and they won't make another new characters.

[@mgm6229]

Those theories are so interesting. Thank you so much for making this video. Clearly Dontnod had a lot in mind about the background for Nathan and his family related to the tornado. But I think that is was supposed to be some kind of curse on the Prescotts, rather than time travel abilities. Although what you say about being able to travel into the future makes perfect sense. I guess Dontnod didn't have time and budget to make all the story, which by the way would have made the game at least 7 or 8 chapters long. It's so sad, since it could be way more interesting the way it was originally meant to be. Let's pray someday they make a remake of the game with all the story they had in mind originally.

[@BruceWayne-tm9rh]

Everyone's a time traveler these days. Really cool theory.

[@saraiojeda4396]

This makes so much sense and great details to support it

[@superninginayt9510]

I love this theory thank you !!

[@_dancry_6665]

The voice at 1:04 was use in the episode 4 trailer, they didnt use it in episode 4 or 5.

[@coruscat3]

I don't remember what it was, but mr Jefferson also said something else in the dark room that sounded like he could time travel too. All I remember was that when he said it I was like woahhhh that's hella fishy

[@GhostFan-ev4di]

Nope

[@connor.k]

IS NO ONE GONNA STATE THE FACT THAT THE TRUCK THAT KILLED CHLOE'S FATHER AND CUT CHLOE OFF INTO THE DITCH WAS NATHAN'S?!?!

[@isabellafrancine2729]

when did nathan say about the storm?

[@outoforder4845]

It could have been the original plot.

[@cheesypigeon4542]

Nathan is a time traveler because he says the tornado is coming is he dead?

[@dandyhighway-man8701]

There's one Question I would ask how did Nathan die?

[@monke9746]

Captain Plottwist well at the end you can actually save him, by rewind back time, but if you didn't save him, he was buried and killed by Mr.Jefferson

[@magicalmax1000]

Either he goes to jail for killing Chloe, or Mr Jefferson kills him (and buys a bus ticket in Nathan's name to cover his tracks)

[@rachelamber4470]

He will only ever be one thing to me...

[@NecrolydeTV]

Seems solid evidence. The question is... HOW do they have their powers in first place?

[@sharif47]

Moral of the game: Time Rewind Power vs Drug Drug wins! Flawless Victory

[@toothakace]

love the silent hill soundtrack on the background :D

[@raquela9821]

but if there's is some other time travel user i wonder when one of them use it the other should know that no? but that would make life is strange even more interesting that it already is i would really want to know how that would work

[@arafatzahan3697]

These audio's weren't used for a reason :3

[@katski9432]

+Arafat Zahan Well the Storm is Coming line was in the dark room trailer so the theory would have still made sense!

[@arafatzahan3697]

katski Game developers intentionally use misleading voice overs to troll with the gamers :c

[@bakarilatham7890]

3:33 throughout the rest of the video what is that music

[@galleonsky]

It make sense! damn it, i want explanations from the creators and writers of Life is Strange!!!!!!! AAAARRRRRRRRRRGH! lol

[@HeyMellow]

Eimi A thats exactly what i thought XD

[@HANCHANs]

Holy fuck man! This is so accurate! AAAA!!!

[@DalekOfChaos666]

I'd like to suggest something to your theory. Sean Prescott is a time traveler. What if Sean Prescott is really Henry Aaron Prescott?

[@Reikii7]

I think so too! awsome theory! thank you! :D whats the name of this music?( 1:40 min? )

[@Vergil7799]

Silent Hill 2 - Heaven's Night

[@Reikii7]

thank you! :)

[@lisawarner4858]

Solid vid! n_n

[@Yay248]

Uh...heavens night music? Interesting choice.

[@katski9432]

I love silent hill

[@marije-5058]

This makes sense

[@TeddyBearsUnited]

Mark and Sean having the same first names as the authors of the Chrononauts doesn't mean anything. This game is filled with random references. For example, all license plates are references to TV shows such as Twin Peaks, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or the Office. Does that mean the shows have anything to do with the game? No. Also, the jackets from Blackwell look like Jacket's jacket from Hotline Miami, which again is just a little Easter egg and nothing more.

[@stephonisiforou8679]

this is so possible

[@webnicius]

Can Jefferson and Sean be brothers? IDK, I don't have any evidence, but this theory makes me think about it...

[@GhostFan-ev4di]

Nebulosa Cabulosa NOPE

[@feyrie]

no disrespect but I dont really buy into this theory. They drug everyone in the dark room. And if Jeff have powers, why cant he rewind and save himself too?

[@jenica1203]

+Thuy Vo I think she said it in the first part about Nathan? Unlike Max Nathan can only go forward in time or I'm just being too forgetful of what she really said

[@katekulinski4105]

+MasterChef Meowzie I think they cut a lot of plotline out.

[@julietwatson4642]

MasterChef Meowzie but how can Nathan be a time traveler?

[@maulanayusuf1799]

If Nathan can time travel to the future . he will never see the tornado . because jeffy killed him before that happen.

[@GhostFan-ev4di]

This was made before ep5 came out.

[@thatoneweirdo1814]

I never heard this in the game ;-;

[@ClubPenguin7771]

why do i hear sasuke theme i think

[@janetpeanut531]

I don't think Nathan would have powers I think he has visions of future events. watch that show called "minority report" it's about this guy who can watch scenes of what's going to happen in the future. just little blurry scenes. but Jefferson and Sean they can go back and forth and maybe their karma in ep 5 will be them getting stuck in time like their arrested in the future then go back and forth to the same places and actually get stuck in jail and rot.

[@Finngrinder]

She gonna take herself to the past, to rewind her choice that sucked ass^^

[@karimaandita4987]

on what episodes is 1:14 - 1:25 ????

[@hanafruit98]

Karima Andita the end of episode 1
