It’s hilarious how I was on the very first question of the vid and the top comment is just answering it-

[@MasterPlan1P]

Also because King Tutankhamun (tut) died at a very young age, between 17-20. His death has some speculation oh what it exactly was (murder, accident, injury etc) but it didnt look like it was natural causes. So there is the idea he was insanely unlucky, and thus his item passes that along.

I sorta agree, but at the same time I disagree because if that really happen, Blathers would probably have a different reaction with the mantis one donated to him. But idk

The mystery of the unseen 'new mayor' in New Leaf is odd when you just stop to realize that whoever was supposed to be the mayor has the exact same name as your character. How else would Isabelle and the villagers think you are the new mayor? She even states that the new mayor has your name, and combining that with the arrival time matching yours must mean you are the new mayor. I just restarted New Leaf, so that's how I got that still fresh in my head

for Blather's bug fear if you give him a mantis in New Leaf he recalls a story where a whole bunch of them hatched and flew out of the desk right at him and laments that that specific incident is what kickstarted his fears

[@ryuuichiwu3662]

Definitely feel like the fountain and the golden ax is a reference to "the honest woodcutter" story from Aesop's Fables

[@venafydan]

In New Leaf if you put on the King Tut mask, you'd trip while running even if you had a good luck day. It was the same in Wild World, so it's never been connected to your character's luck. I'm pretty sure it's because a lot of people believe that disturbing places where the dead are buried, or taking/possessing their things, is very bad luck.

[@gallery3460]

I agree with that theory but I've always thought that the mask was simply too heavy for the chracter's head lol

[@victoriam.4927]

As one of the other commenters said, I think the tripping in the King Tut mask is a reference to the infamous mummy’s curse. Perhaps this could also tie into Lucky’s story & the decor of his home? Maybe Lucky used to lived up to his name, until he brought home a cursed artifact… I have no idea what Farley is, but perhaps he’s a reference to something from Japanese folklore? It wouldn’t be the first time the series has featured yokai; and something with a huge nose & long beard that hangs around wells & is associated with wishes definitely sounds folklore-related.

Serena and Farley both seem to be references to Aesop’s Honest Woodsman (or the Honest Axe) fairy tale in which a woodsman drops his axe into a lake and the god Hermes decides to get it for him but offers him multiple better axes made of silver and gold only for the woodsman to be honest and tell him that they aren’t his axe. After seeing his honesty, Hermes decides to reward him by giving him all three axes. This story has been altered over time though and most modern interpretations (especially those in Japanese media) swap out Hermes with the Lady of the Lake or just another female water spirit. Serena is obviously based on the Lady of the Lake version, used in Japan. Not just based on her being a girl but also her getting angry when you are not honest. Farley seems to be very loosely inspired by the original Hermes version. This makes sense with Farley’s role in the games as Hermes is the god of trade and travel so would naturally take issue if a trade you were tasked with was not completed or if your town was hard to traverse due to trees. Farley also shares his hat with Hermes, as Hermes was regularly depicted with his signature winged cap in pictures and statues. These are pretty much the only traits Farley and Hermes share though but gives enough information for us to make some guesses as to why he was included. Early during localization the Gamecube fountain may have been meant to let you throw your axe into it just like City Folks’ in a bit more of an open reference to the Honest Woodsman story. Obviously you’d need to interact with a character and that may have been the original purpose of Farley. Maybe that would take too much time to develop or would break the game because you could just do it early on and get a really good item so they scrapped it and reworked the character into the final game Farley. Serena’s fountain may have been inspired by those early plans and the Japanese developers decided to replace Farley’s Hermes reference with the more popular and recognizable Lady of Lake reference. Regardless it’s pretty clear that these characters are references to the Honest Woodsman fairytale.

[@pipermeh3350]

This is what I thought too!! When he mentioned them I went to find the story because I really thought there was some familiarity to it and I agree! It does seem like a reference to that tale.

[@ajsteiny1980]

Hermes also had two main forms. One being a young man, that most people are familiar with, and the other being an old man (just thought that could be another small connection)

[@jfs983]

I was gonna mention this! You see it in a LOT of games and anime.

[@julle5840]

27:28 "Why is wisp scared of a villager?" In the German version he is named 'Buhu', that's really similar to the Mario Bros. ghosts, that are named 'Buu Huu' in german.

19:05 Frillard is another character that is allegedly dead. He has appeared just on City Folk and then on New Leaf he is mentioned by Shrunk in a sad tone, saying that he misses Master Frillard. Or something like that, I don't really know much about this topic.

[@Zander10624]

Was gonna comment the same thing. New Leaf all but confirms he dies between the two games.

[@melle-d9971]

The non-villager animals in animal crossing is not a mystery they litterally SHOW HOW IT WORKS ON THE MUSEUM! there's an evolution tree display you can stand in and it has the lines for other anime villagers. Like humans with apes, they have a common ancestor that branched off at some point and now they're different species. This line of thought is basically like an alien looking at an earth zoo and being horrified apes are keeping other apes in cages

[@infinitemidnightghostmourner]

NOTE for those who may not know! Gulliver's name is a reference to a classic novel, Gulliver's travels! It follows the main character, Gulliver; he lived as a traveler, seeing many strange things on his journey from place to place. Kinda like Alice and Wonderland! Further support for the dimensional travel theory!

[@Olympus150]

Another mystery that idk if it’s been explained is who is sending the balloon presents? I believe there’s a theory out there that it could be the villagers dad but idk if there has ever been a confirmed explanation about where those balloons are coming from.

[@hanashi5727]

Well, some of the villagers have dubbed whoever is sending them as Lieutenant Burpy Boy and I believe that's a very solid theory.

5:22 I have the guide that this is referring to, it's the Prima one. One of its sections is a list of names of every villager and special character, with a little picture next to each. It neglects to list Farley, but they accidentally put a picture of Farley where they list Snowman. The guide was packed with little mistakes like that, it was super confusing as a kid but kinda cool since it made certain things mysterious.

[@MokohiChan]

[@zigazav1]

I know you said not to talk about Ankha, but, I will state an obscure fact about her. She was even in the "original" Gamecube entry of the Animal Crossing franchise, although not how she is now. She was one of a pool of islander villagers to appear on your town's local island. Basically, at random, you have a single islander to be on your town's local island. This single islander never changes and is merely selected at random after creating your town. Ankha was one of those islanders in that pool of a possible islander you could have on your local island. And, like Ankha, those islanders from the Gamecube release of the game, would have their role(s) changed to being in the pool of regular villagers that could appear in your town. I love Ankha, and not for the "weird" reasons many people do that you were trying to avoid talking about. Her unique design. She is not a mere recolor of the basic cat villager model in character design, unlike most cat villagers. She has a special model just for herself, to have that pharaoh headdress thing attached to her head. I was going to say something more, but I forgot it completely while writing this comment

[@dephnagegajo3048]

Ankha is probably related to the king Tut mask or Lucky

There's actually a character we got to meet on the rare opportunity back in City Folk (if I recall rightly) that was mentioned to have died in the following game, and that's the other comedian that would sometimes perform instead of Dr Shrunk. I think his name was Frillard? Either this was just a theory I took to be true and never forgot or never heard about being debunked, or it's something overlooked because I don't see too many older players talk about him

[@amoura39]

[@crystalpelletier3506]

If you deny help to Gullivarrr, he occasionally mentions Linebeck from Zelda Phantom Hourglass.

[@wilesnailspower9781]

I’m pretty sure Dr. Shrunk alludes to Frillard possibly being dead in New Leaf, it’s pretty weird how he just never showed up again after City Folk. Also, I always thought the wanted poster outside the police station in the original animal crossing was Team Rocket’s Meowth as a kid, it’s probably Redd though.

[@vivalanina]

What if the Rito from zelda, the bird people, are descendants of Gulliver on his travels? Maybe he met someone special in the zelda universe. Also when he mentions his ship he doesn't really specify what KIND of ship we only assume a boat because of his sailor outfit. The word for boat crew and space ship crew are interchangeable in context. And spaceships do land in the ocean.

[@deadinside44123]

I always had AMAZING Turnip prices back in the day regardless. you can do it from running back and forth in the snow and you leave a face plant mark on the ground in wild world as well

[@Pichuscute]

I would definitely consider process of elimination to be a form of evidence in support of Rover being the secret mayor. Since he's the only character with the information required to set up the events of the game, since he's on the train and not already in the town, and since he's a character that doesn't seem like they'd choose to be mayor but might be important enough to be offered the job, I think this is completely reasonable to believe. It obviously can't be proven, but it makes a lot more sense than any other candidate we see in the games, which simply have no possible relation to this secret mayor at all. The only alternative to him, as far as I can tell, would be a character who is entirely new and unrelated to any of the games or characters so far, which... why would they even bother to do that? lol.

[@MasterPlan1P]

Ive seen a few people mention why the King Tut mask does what it does (the mummy's curse), but not many mention another possible reason why. King Tutankhamun (tut) died at a very young age, between 17-20. His death has some speculation oh what it exactly was (murder, accident, injury etc) but it didnt look like it was natural causes. So there is the idea he was insanely unlucky, and thus his item passes that along. Considering how much art history and info has been in these games since gamecube, i dont think its too far off to have it be a reference to real world events too.

[@_mollbxo]

I was thinking this too that it could be around the speculations of how he died! It was theorised for a long time that King Tut died during a chariot crash where he broke his leg and, due to lack of modern medicine, got blood poising and died. He did have a broken leg when he died, but there are no records of a ‘crash’ in Egyptian history, so this is now not as widely accepted. He did, however, have a club foot and other skeletal issues so it could still be that the broken leg was what caused his death at a young age 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@MasterPlan1P]

@@_mollbxo also true! his death is very interesting because it could be many things, the chariot accident also being possible. but none of them are natural, which makes it all the more intriguing!

[@NikkioftheGivens]

With the villagers and catchable animals weirdness… I always just figured it was a case of divergent evolution, similar to apes and humans. Frog villagers and catchable frogs have a common ancestor, but aren’t the same species. I sort of figured Animal Crossing was a world where humans weren’t the only species to evolve to our level of intelligence, and that other species did as well and that’s what we have human-sized animals coexisting with humans as neighbors. I think in the most recent game the museum also has some sort of evolution chart showing something similar? Haven’t played it in a while so I’m not sure.

[@rin_okami]

Kinda surprised so many don't know this: The mask being unlucky is a reference to King Tut's Curse. It was believed to have afflicted the people who unearthed Tutankhamen's tomb or were involved in the expedition or handled his mummy. Of the 9 people affected, 2 died of sepsis, 1 from pneumonia, 1 from an unspecified illness, 1 in a fire, 1 under "suspicious circumstances", and 1 by suicide. The other 2 survived but the first had his house destroyed twice (once by fire, once by flood), and the other came home to discover his pet canary had been eaten by a cobra, a symbol of the pharoahs. So uh, yeah, pretty unlucky batch of people.

[@ShackleYT]

He’s been traumatized by bugs ever since. Edit: Just looked it up and apparently it was a mantis egg that hatched and they swarmed him. Poor guy.

[@handsoaphandsoap]

The King Tut mask thing is a reference to the alleged curse of Pharaoh Tutankahmun. Some of the people who rediscovered his tomb (and therefore “disturbed” it) and other people related to objects taken from it are said to have died under mysterious circumstances or sudden bouts of illness, leading some people to speculate there was a curse placed on his resting place to protect it. That’s why the player trips when they wear the mask, it’s a pilfered artifact from his tomb and therefore gives the player bad luck due to the curse.

[@kinasakuraba]

I'm sure someone else has mentioned it, but the king tut thing is probably a reference to the curse that was believed to afflict the people that discovered the tomb or something to that effect anyways. You'd probably have to ask a dev for clarification, but I'm sure that's all it is.

[@qteeme5285]

Hi! Nice video, you had lots of interesting points. I have been told the Tut mask falls when you run because it's solid gold and is too heavy, just that simple. and what's interesting about Gulliver and Gullivarrr is if you are a new character talking to Gulliver; the first few times that you're trying to wake him up and he's responding in sleep his name shows as Gulliver and it's not until he wakes up that it all of a sudden change to gullivarrr! I thought that was very interesting. And while you are correct The Fountains don't seem to do anything but when the hour strikes the fountain will change its flow, all of them do. kind of neat. And interesting about whether the residents die or not; with the update if you go to the hospital Joan is in there every Monday and will actually give you turnips.

Well I am super late to the party here, but oh my god, talk about homage! You did such a cool little intro that is not the same but subtly references the actual "Unsolved Mysteries" logo. I've been binging a lot of your vids lately, as a new fan of the game and of your channel. But that bit made me feel slightly less ancient in comparison to the average player, so thank you for that lol

[@grimphantom99insaneenderma85]

I always felt that Zipper is one of your villagers in disguise, just a speculation. 😶

[@testerwulf3357]

I think that's been disprove of because you can see all villagers at the same time as Zipper..so it cannot be any character in the game that can live in your town or a shop keeper or even Isabell, it's someone else

[@grimphantom99insaneenderma85]

@@testerwulf3357 interesting 🤔

[@UltraHylia]

The Serena fountain is also already in the City in City Folk. That's what the album is referencing.

[@melledevries4685]

The King Tut's mask making you unlucky is probably just a reference to the myth surrounding its finding in real life. The story goes that Howard Carter's find of King Tut's tomb was followed by a mysterious series of deaths among his crew and their loved ones, starting with his dog dying on the other side of the globe at the same time that the tomb was unsealed.

Lucky is lucky because he's still alive after going through all the injury, whatever it was

[@testerwulf3357]

And Lucky enough to make such a recovery that he can dance and move fairly normally

[@Alex_Silverpen]

rewatching this video, "have you ever wondered if villagers could die?" yes. In the days of Wild World, I remember going online and asking if you didn't give medicine to a sick villager every day, would they die. The answer is, of course, no... but it's interesting to think about.

[@ZeoViolet]

Joan is referenced by her granddaughter when she leaves an island review mentioning "gram-gram's knees" and she can also be encountered outright after you build the hospital in Happy Home Paradise DLC on Mondays, in the hospital itself.

[@KatelynJewel]

On the topic of non-returning characters from previous games being dead, this is most likely true for Frillard from City Folk because in New Leaf, Dr. Shrunk occasionally mentions how he misses him.

[@tinybutdeafeningbird1225]

I'm pretty sure Shrunk was Frillard's mentor so I'm inclined to believe that Frillard moved on once he learned all he needed to from Shrunk, but I don't remember any of his dialogue from when I played new leaf so I could definitely be wrong

[@rebecca4571]

3:11 Loved the transition :)

[@CuddlePossum]

I remember seeing in a video, a game theory video I believe, that said in Lucky's Japanese description on his Ecard, he died when he was torn up in the rotors of a fishing boat during a fishing accident.

[@ISoloYouRelax]

Timmy and Tommy are Tom nook's apprentices. I've never heard about him adopting them.

[@beausweater]

He's actually their uncle :)

[@ISoloYouRelax]

@@beausweater No he isn't. In Wild World, Tom Nook explains to the player that Timmy and Tommy are not related to him by blood, and thinks of them as his pupils and himself as the mentor

[@beausweater]

@@ISoloYouRelax oh interesting! I always thought they are his nephews and I thought it was mentioned in one of the games as well. It also could've been an error in translation since I played the German versions as a kid but I'm not sure

[@testerwulf3357]

They're children, for them to be living with him he had to of adopted them; however that doesn't mean he sees them as sons or that they see him as a dad, I'd imagine the adoption was done just so they can legally work under him and he can apprentice them not to make them a family :]

[@HasturLaVista268]

Your TV room's got the most spectecular tapestry I've ever seen in New Horizons 🤩

[@imsorry3217]

I always thought that whenever they wear the King Tut mask, they'd only trip and fall because of how big and heavy it is on their heads. 😅

[@maskedkara8019]

Not sure if it's what they're referencing but throwing your axe in the fountain and potentially getting a golden one back from Serena reminds me of one of the stories in the Aesop's Fables book my dad gave me. In the fable Mercury and the Woodman (Mercury being the Romanized version of the ancient Greek god Hermes), a woodman loses his axe in a stream and the god Mercury/Hermes offers to retrieve it for the woodman. Instead of retrieving the actual axe, Mercury/Hermes first brings back a gold axe and then a silver one. Both times, the woodman honestly states that the axes sadly don't belong to him. As a reward for his honesty, his original axe is returned and he is gifted the gold and sliver ones. When his one of his neighbours deliberately throw in their axes and claimed the gold axe was theirs however, Mercury/Hermes knew he was lying, didn't give him anything and left the old axe at the bottom of the stream. Perhaps Serena fills a similar role to Hermes? That or it's just a cool reference LOL.

[@TheCwtchWitch]

I always just assumed the mask made you fall over cause it was so heavy lol

[@amoura39]

28:28 I've always found it adorable that Blathers is afraid of insects. I like to think that he's too kind and innocent to ever wanna eat or even hurt one, DESPITE BEING AN OWL.

[@ClovertechProductions]

I remember either Flick or CJ recalled crying when they saw their previous game counterparts eat a bug/fish

[@Novalaxy23]

there is an actual reson for blather being scared of insects, one day, he was at his desk but then a nest of bugs (I think they were mantis but I could be wrong) oppened letting tons of bugs flying arround him, scaring him forever. pretty sure this is from Wild World

[@MCJadelf]

Very interesting! Also mysterious is the fact that I'm watching this while playing ACNH. While you're talking about Roswell, I pick up a message in a bottle on the beach, open it up, and...uh...it's from Roswell! No kidding! LOL

[@TheMCLegendTeam164]

The King Tut mask is made of gold. You'd think it would be heavy to the point where you inevitably trip and fall.

[@quincy2376]

You should make a video on all of the references and themes in the villagers (like Marlo’s godfather theme and Roswell’s alien theme)

[@Ceriva09]

the Serena mysterie might be a throwback to older Harvest Moon games where you also could throw your axe into a lake or fountain. Some of Animal Crossing Devs worked on those Harvest Moon games as well

[@giboit.]

I think the reason why King Tut mask makes you fall is just because it's too heavy. The thing with Farley is probably a reference to a tale where a poor man that works cutting wood loses his axe in a river and a supernatural being that lives there shows him three axes one by one: One of them is made of gold, the other one is made of silver and the third one is the old and used axe that truly belongs to the man. When the man gets asked if axe he lost is any of the first two axes, he is honest and says that they aren't (despite being poor) and only takes the one that is indeed the axe he lost. And thus, as a sign of respect for his honesty the supernatural being awards him by letting him keep the other two axes. That's why you get a golden axe for returning something that doesn't belong to you.

[@MooneyDawn115]

Lmao I love how you say "In the original animal crossing game Gulliver shows up on the beach" but the sub titles say "In the original game Gulliver shows up drunk off his ass on the beach" Hilarious

[@breannathompson9094]

One thing i always wondered, why do the gamecube animals get so angry when they figure out you've been "shaking trees" or got stung by bees. Like they literally think you are demonic for shaking trees lmao.

[@TaylorS4Life_Teddy]

Im Happy You Upload Quite A Lot , Some Ytbers Leave For Months And Upload Acting Like Nothing Happened

[@carolinalara2571]

I'm dying loving the Unsolved Mysteries title!!!

[@WasabiJalapeno]

I wish he'd had said-but thats just a theory...A GAME THEORY

[@jaydenisfrog9117]

what i heard about Blathers is that he had some kind of bug egg on his table that hatched and lot of bugs came out not really sure if that is true or not

[@respectmyauthoritah5778]

You might fall with the King Tut mask because it's made of solid gold and is too heavy, causing you to become unbalanced and fall (especially because the weight is on your head and only your head). That's what I always thought anyway.

[@im_not_cinnabun9131]

"Franklin is worried that some one might eat him, but he warms up in later games" A really poor choice of words, my friend. 24:13

[@MarioMasta64]

19:06 in new leaf you can actually drown and suffocate or just kinda fall down and perish if you get into certain areas through clipping into walls or under water as well as saving in places youre not supposed to be and reloading the game. course you respawn tho ofc but it was really weird when i came across these doing multiplayer online back in the day most of these arent well documented aside saving in places you shouldnt be and fainting and its really hard to find videos on it due to what you usually would search for to get this just bringing you to theories about being dead in the gamecube game

[@darthfastball1150]

11:47 I see that caption about Gulliver showing up drunk! I see you lol

[@mekkiepoo]

I never thought of Tut's mask as a mystery... it's a rather obvious throwback to King Tut's curse in where basically everyone involved with opening his tomb was either killed or had some catastrophic bad luck in the months following it.

[@user-oy8il3jp8p]

A mystery i found with 1 of my fav villagers, looking at hoppkins head at first he seems to have a button taped on but on closers inspection its not, he seems to have something detachable on the back of his head.

[@Waumboll]

You got a bit of audio issues in this video, where it's suddenly pretty silent
