I think what’s interesting about this whole storyline is that Arthur is not jealous that Vivi and Lewis are together because he wants Vivi or Lewis. He’s jealous because he wants something like that and feels like a third wheel constantly.

[@Swordkiller55623]

It's interesting to note that at the beginning, we see the trio of Arthur, Vivi and Mystery all happy with wherever it is that they're going. Meanwhile, when we see the flashback to when our ghosty friend was alive, Arthur looks more dejected than anything. His arm only started possessing him during the cave, but the colorization was green as it took control...such as green with envy. I don't think Arthur was wanting Vivi to himself or anything, but maybe he was envious that Lewis, our ghosty friend, had all that Arthur wanted? He was the leader, had a girl he loved and a goal in life while Arthur was in the background unable to get into the front seats. He had taken Lewis' place in the van, being part of the foreground whereas before, he was merely in the background barely able to be seen behind the others. Maybe he felt there just wasn't room for himself in the gang unsure of what to do?

[@dahliarose6024]

I think conceptually this is the case, but on a more literal story-case, it was most likely... Spoilers below: A possession of some kind, as we see that Mystery ripped the arm off (presumably to stop the spread), and when the reflection shows him, it's with no arm. So the possessing force may have fed off, or be conceptually based on, envy but that same force (black and green coloration) possesses Mystery at the end of The Future. And when that happens, it's after the loss of the plant woman, not something that would necessarily spark "envy" of all things.

[@Swordkiller55623]

@@dahliarose6024 interesting, I was more thinking that it was a piece of her that transferred when Mystery got attacked, like how we saw her hand crawling back and reattaching to her, same as her head in Freaking Out. I figured that instead of doing that, she used that control to take control of Mystery.

[@AzureRadio]

​@@Swordkiller55623Nah, at the end of The Future we see it rewind and very clearly show his arm appear and squeeze Mystery's heart causing the transform into Murder Mystery. We also see the arm cowering in fear and fleeing at the sight of Shiromiro, so it likely took the chance to use Mystery dying to take over his body and defeat her. Either way 100% the arm possessed Mystery at the end, not only was it clearly shown but they took the time to show us the same events again immediately after to show why they happened, reason being he was possessed by the arm when he was dying.

[@mataschmata]

ok theres a lot of controversy about what the story is so im gonna go ahead and give my two cents :0 i've read a lot of stuff on different social media talking about this and i think i got a pretty stable theory arthur (yellow) vivi (blue) ben (red) and lewis (purple) are all a gang that does paranormal research, much like scooby doo. when they enter the green cave, it's haunted by a spirit that possesses Arthur's left arm, and makes him push Lewis into the spikes. in the pan out of the scene, we can see Vivi at the bottom, suggesting she saw lewis die, but doesn't know who pushed him off. Ben was behind arthur when it happened, and saw the whole thing. he tore off arthur's arm, trapping the ghost inside of it, and freeing arthur. the arm was later replaced with a mechanical arm. arthur looks pretty upset in the flashback from the beginning. this could be because he originally didn't like lewis that much, or had feelings for vivi and was jealous. (which could have influenced the possession, and pushed him to kill lewis, though that wasn't his own intention) ben turning into a kitsune in the picture could have been symbolism, or literally. i don't know what it means, but he turned into a kitsune in order to remove arthur's arm. in 1:20, all the characters view the mirrors. this is a hint to all of their mishaps/insecurities about lewis' death. in Vivi's reflection, her eyes are missing. this is because she saw lewis die, but didn't see how he died. In Arthur's reflection, he is missing his arm. this is because, of course, he doesn't have a real, living arm there, and that arm is what was responsible for killing Lewis, but that part of him is gone. with Ben, the mirror shatters completely. this is because he knows how Lewis died, and that Arthur, with the demon, killed him. but it shatters because Ben is unable to tell anyone what really happened. In the end, Lewis sees that his life is gone and there's no way to get it back, and moves on. (He disappears, along with the house.) I think the characters bopping along to the music also symbolizes their connection with the real world, or being "alive". after Lewis died, his spirit stayed, symbolized by the beating gold heart, and was connected by Lewis and Vivi's relationship, which was symbolized by the picture inside the heart. After the heart broke and Vivi was dragged off by Arthur, the connection was severed and after that part the heart, as well as Lewis, never "beated" again, while the others still did. we can also see at 3:12 that the spirit seemed to influence the ghost version of Lewis, Vivi's pain about not knowing what happened (being unable to see) and in the last bit, we can see Arthur holding back his own possessed side while crying, which also says he was really upset about what he did to lewis :0 thats all i got for now lmao

3:14 the human part of arthur is crying, I’ve seen this video tons of times and this is my first time seeing that. We know that he didn’t mean to push Lewis, and that it was a demon esc thing that possessed his left side which pushed Lewis off. Every time I see this I learn more, this series is amazing

[@art_games_and_writing9778]

This is true, but I think the thing that possessed him was actually amplifying his emotions. Because earlier in the van, Arthur looked very upset. So I believe that the spirit took advantage of that. Idk, all I know, is that Arthur would never kill someone on purpose lol.

[@PsychoKilll42]

I believe it was the bat that opened its eyes when they entered the cave. I would assume it has some sort of relation to the plant chick (not sure what her name is), as Arthur’s possessed smile is the exact same as her’s.

[@nanajosh]

I think it was the Dog to be honest. The dog shows up on each scene Arthur is possessed and is seen at 3:15 kinda showing his true self it seems. Perhaps it's always been the dog. Edit: Further evidence at 1:24 the dogs mirror shatters. Maybe it showed something inside that the mirror couldn't handle? This is all just a Theory, A Mystery Theory! Thanks for reading.

[@PsychoKilll42]

Joshua G Mystery is the one who ripped off Arthur’s possessed arm though. Why would Mystery possess the arm and then immediately rip it off so that it couldn’t be possessed again?

[@MomsAgainstCatboys]

Watch hellbent and just watch ghost Lewis’ face in the last frames.

[@TheComfyGeek]

1:26 This just occurred to me. What if the mirror's are showing us what's real? It's the mirror's truth. Vivi has been blinded by lies. Arthur's arm isn't real. Mystery's true form is too powerful for the mirror to reflect. I just love that scene. It's really well done.

[@foureyedpossum4613]

I'm really curious about what might happen to Vivi, from hellbent we already know what mystery is and we learned in this one that mystery snatched that crunchy ghost infested arm off of Arthur
