[@tabyoshi8997]

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?

After 3 years, I only just now noticed that Vivi was there at the bottom where Lewis fell. Now I know why the most popular theories include Lewis wiping her memories. Maybe her blacked out eyes at 1:26 is symbolic of her missing memories? Like how Arthur’s arm is also missing in his reflection? I also think that Arthur may not even remember what happened to Lewis since in “Freaking out” he appears to be searching for Lewis on his laptop/map.

[@Lexicon2896]

Yeah it's implied Arthur didn't exactly remember what happened clearly. He didn't know Lewis was dead, or that Lewis was the ghost from the mansion. It isn't until the very end of Hellbent he realizes these two things. By then it's too late. We'll have to wait for the next video to see what happens!

He didn't know that the skull guy was Lewis until Hellbent, that's why (SPOILER ALERT) he says his name as he drops him off the cliff

[@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

In case anyone is curious about what happened in this MV, I wrote down below... Let's get the names down first; The blue haired girl is named 'Vivi'. The shaggy yellow dude is 'Arthur'. The purple skeleton ghost is 'Lewis' and Finally we have our smart doggo 'Mystery'. Now most people are confused about the backstory of the guys (the events in the mirror) So imma lay down the facts. In the mirror we see the whole gang driving. Lewis is still alive, and everyone seems happy except for Arthur. This is mainly because Arthur is jealous of Lewis' and Vivi's relationship. They stop at a wierd looking cave to investigate and if you look at the top right hand corner you can see this evil bat demon thing 2:54. This is why Mystery is on edge when they enter, as he can sense it. Lewis and Arthur seperate from Vivi to search up top the cliff whilst she searches below. You can see her at the bottem left corner at 2:58. This bat thing poses Arthur's arm through his jealousy and we see Mystery see this from the back. Arthur then pushes Lewis off the ledge and Vivi sees Lewis hit the spikes. (This is where you may some extra information.) Mystery is not just a dog but is a Kitsune in hiding.(you can see who from in the 'Freaking Out' mv) Anyway, a Kitsune is a powerful fox god with many tails. They are immortal and have abilities such as possession and *shapeshifting*(like into a doggo). So when this all happens Mystery uses his magic to cover it all up. He wipes Vivi's memory of Lewis completely and also free's Arthur from the demon by snatching his arm. This is why Arthur has a prosthetic arm instead. Fortunately Lewis is brought back to life by another God like creature (Also known as Flower Hitler-Go watch 'Freaking Out'). Lewis remembers his death and wants revenge on Arthur and to be with Vivi once again which is why his magic stops the guys van at the beginning. So that's basically the backstory, Hope it's helped you understand the plot a little better and maybe understand/notice the many hidden easter eggs Mystery Ben put in animating this awesome Mv. Thanks for your time♡♡ Edit: I didn't expect so many likes, thank you! I know I may have confused a few things and thank you too those who have corrected me in the comments💖 Lots of love to everyone

[@beigecharley7080]

Shiromori is the flower Hitler I believe and I actually think she possessed Arthur or would explain why she wants to find Mystery since he stopped her from fully possessing Arthur.

[@IceQueenaliasIQ]

Hi! You said: "Fortunately Lewis is brought back to life by another God like creature (Also known as Flower Hitler-Go watch 'Freaking Out')". Maybe I interpreted the two vids in the wrong order, but I thought, they first accidentally encountered Lewis' ghost in some random mansion he started haunting after his death (this video). He reveals himself to Arthur (he gives himself his old haircut, and Arthur freaks out because he recognizes him that way) and turns into some sort of enemy after Vivi doesn't show the interest he expected her to show. Then, some time later (--> mv "Freaking Out"), Arthur and gang chill in their van. Arthur watches on his laptop if Lewis has changed position. He's clearly afraid of him. This might imply that Lewis has been trying to follow them since they met in the mansion to get his revenge on Arthur - probably without Vivi knowing. Then some other enemy shows up - "flower Hitler". Apparently she wants to get her hands on Mystery (maybe his power?). She searches for Mystery and possibly tries to trace the group's/Mysterie's path. Eventually she discovers Lewis' presence in the cave. She doesn't know if there is a link between Lewis and Mystery, but she follows the lead anyway. She manages to find Lewis' ghost, who is chilling on some graveyard. She actually manages to get some intel out of him (while he is in the shape of his broken heart), when his ghost suddenly manifests and chases flower Hitler away (she decided not to battle because he seems stronger than expected but isn't even her main goal - in fact, he might come in handy considering her true target). Lewis then uses the magical flower leaves she left behind as a locating device for Vivi. Endowed with new hope and now knowing where the group is, he hijacks a huge truck and drives straight towards them.
