This Saturday, January 30th, at 1pm PST/4pm EST, I'll be going LIVE here on KZfaq to chill with you guys! And joining me will Blixemi! So be there if you'd like to chat with us!

imagine visiting Starclan, cats who you’re supposed to look up to for guidance, and you see the cat who tried to kill you because your mom didn’t go out with him & you’re only given the reason “that he loved too much”

Tbh the thought of Yellowfang basing her judgment off of experience is really sad when you think of it.

Yellowfang was just jealous that Ashfur had better hair, so she thought that Ashfur would lend Yellowfang his hair. Simple as that.

Ashfur: gets into starclan Broken code happens Starclan: oh snap we made a mistake :0

He probably bribed her with never having to hear firestars rambling about a squirrel he caught the other day again

I still think the fact that tigerstar got 9 lives despite still being clearly evil and self serving is reason to question starclan's judgement

What if there was like- a middle ground. A between the dark forest and star clan. Just a empty ground where cats that aren’t necessarily evil but also aren’t good go. It’s be kinda interesting 💃

She let him in because of his beautiful blonde hair.

He didn't just love too much he also: Helped murder Firestar Tried to ruin squirrelflights life Tried to kill three cats Was an awful mentor to Loinblaze (I still really like ashfur as a character though. Also let me know if I missed something)

Brutally murdered by Hollyleaf? (Stares at Hollyleaf’s chainsaw)

I came up with an idea for a Super Edition for Ashfur called Ashfur’s Betrayal. It would have the major events from Ashfur’s life told from his perspective, and then new content about Ashfur festering with resentment in Starclan and eventually him taking over Bramblestar. And maybe we could also have a plot twist where he didn’t actually die in the dark water…?

What is with warrior cats and abusive relationships? I understand trying to bring attention to a problem, but it feels like 80% of warrior cat relationships have some form of abuse, and that is kind of sad. Give use some more positive examples please.

5:09 Why is that Imposter Bramblestar design so creepy-

I also remember when Yellowfang told Raggedpelt she was going to have kits, he tried to make her go into being a warrior again. She said she cant and he is like "CANT OR WONT?" I found that kinda manipulative and he makes her upset.

wow I’m so early-- here’s a star for other early fans ⭐️

Also I would think that Bluestar would also pity Ashfur as he did help with the pack as a apprentice

He bribed her with infinite Jayburgers

It’s funny, because I was thinking about this a little while ago on a drive home. Ashfur wasn’t always a horrible cat, and I think StarClan with Yellowfang’s push gave him the benefit of the doubt, which I think a lot of people do even when those on the receiving end don’t deserve it. One of StarClan’s biggest flaws is they’ve got a lot of good hearted, softies, naturally, but they’re seemingly high up in the hierarchy which has clearly led to some mistakes. Good in intention, bad in execution. This arc is proving that the clans need to not only consider their ancestors, but ultimately weigh their own decisions out too because clearly StarClan just as easily makes bad moves.

Everyone important: *Worrying about what to do about Ashfur* *Yellowfang sipping tea in the background, avoiding everyone’s eye contact.*

Ashfur got in because Yellowfang died before her hair appointment and Ashfur was a good hairdresser.

Plot twist: yellowfang was against ashfur going in star clan. It was the rest of the cats because they wanted moonkitti to make more ashfur vidios

"Did StarClan make a mistake?" Welp, The Broken Code exists so...

thank God that they finally said something about how much Raggedstar sucked..... Yellowfang held him in high regard in the original books so it made it seem like he was a good boy. I hope they actually get all this in the actual books tho.

KZfaq: There are zero comments. Me: I don't believe you. Also me: *sees 0 comments*

She let him in because he loved too much, dUh

thought that the entire 5 minutes will be just "he loved too much" repeated over and over again

Even if StarClan piitied Ashfur that still doesn't add up because they let HOLLYLEAF into StarClan. Mothwing is right-StarClan exists. But the living cats shouldn't just blindly rely on them for everything for just...reasons. It's like people who are all "GOD WILL SHOW ME THE WAY" or "GOD SPOKE TO ME" oh cool story bruh. The living cats need to learn to rely on THEMSELVES to make decisions, NOT StarClan. And I think that's where Broken Code is going in the narrative. By the end of it all, I think MediCats will still be important, still receive omens, but the cats will decide as A GROUP about what to do on the omen, rather than just either doing nothing or just the leader making the choice. The clans will become like a Democracy of sorts.

"And they were both brutally murdered" **Hollyleaf and Brokenstar yeets in and 'brutally murders' them**

Can we just talk about how amazing some of these designs Missy Dakota did!?

I love this. It summarizes what we know while adding a hint of speculation that is extremely likely to be true. Also, it's just nice to see StarClan developed a bit more, and to see how being abused can affect people in the long-run. And the bit about Hollyleaf being redeemed and how it's not fair to not give Ashfur a chance at redemption too... *chef's kiss* It makes Yellowfang's decision super understandable and makes everyone else in StarClan more likely to go along with it, because redemption is a good thing and StarClan wants to be fair (sometimes. I will also argue that Leafpool and Squilf's trial was totally unreasonable)

Akira: Raggedstar mocks her... Raggedstar: **Procceds to spin out of control like a physco**

That imposter art near the end was terrifying. I love it. Great job Dakota

When Akira posts Me: Drop everything and go

To be honest Raggedstar and Foxheart are the perfect match

Captions are hilarious. Here are some things the captions said: Rocketstar, Asphur, Ashford, Jay further, and Ash for.

I think Ashfur is so interesting because whenever I re-read the series from The Prophecies Begin, he reads as such a bright young cat who's brave with big potential. Yeah he's a background character but he's generally doing good acts when he's around; he's an adult for a long time before courting a love interest (compared to many warrior cats) which I think is refreshing, and when Squirrelflight and him *are* "dating" he's just like . . . the stereotypical warrior cat boyfriend, I guess. It's only after he's already developed as a person(cat) that he has . . . whatever the opposite of a redemption arc is. Turning 'evil' with his reject romance bizz and letting himself fester for forever. Being angry for extended periods of time like that can make you forget who you are; it's wild and scary to reflect on what you did later, if you get out of the situation--but I don't think Ashfur would have ever gotten that chance unless he left ThunderClan or something radical. I'm not gonna pretend to understand where he's coming from; or that it wasn't completely awful what he did; or that everything would have been better if Squirrelflight had just stayed with a cat who treated her more like a "girlfriend to protect" than an "equal to adventure and discourse with" (which I think is what she wanted from her relationships) because then she would be unhappy. But I think Yellowfang's interpretation of "he only loved too much" may also be . . . literally that; he didn't *do* anything bad until he went crazy after his girlfriend rejected him (cringe yikes though). I also think the whole imposter is Ashfur plot is a totally awful retcon about stuff he never cared about and is a bad use of his character

The thing is Ashfur was a cat everyone seemed to look up to, it says that in power of three a few times. He also stayed quiet and watched enviously as squirrelflight and brambleclaw became mates. He was a loyal clanmate to Thunderclan (AND SQUIRRELFLIGHT) and it showed.

This make sense yellow fang and ash fur probably got along before ash fur became the imposter

So close to 100k! Good job Akira! :D

What's sad about this is that if the Erins had planned ahead, the Ashfur twist would have been a lot better. In the original series, he was your average kit and apprentice, then he was the jilted lover who went all Incelly before he died, and when he comes back he's gone full-blown cartoon villain. Not saying it's impossible, but it could have been fleshed out a lot better. Just to put it into context, consider the Star Wars prequals. Among many other flaws is the handling of Anakin Skywalker, who many consider to be far too whinny and bland to end up being the galaxies biggest threat. In my eyes, though, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing; I think the idea was that there was always supposed to be something off about Annie's behavior, enough that, in the real world, would be enough to have the other characters want to keep a much closer eye on him than they did. I think a similar approach would have worked greatly in Ashfur's favor, the impaction that he's always been dark-hearted and, in this case, was just biting his time until he was able to garner the power he needed to act.

I love MissyDakota's Raggedstar's design

Omg I totally agree with everything, listening to you talk is the best part of my day omg love you so much!!!!😻❤

Hey Akira! I LOVE your videos! your so funny! thank you for making them!

5:09 AAAAH it probably planned as a creepy artwork... and it really is. I feel like that this thing is watching me now... Dakota did an amazing job :3

There should be a Super edition called Ashfur's fire

Bluestar: it is not StarClan's place to judge Ashfur - The Forgotten Warrior chap. 14 Literally every leader ever: *StarClan will judge them, not me* Say what???

Oh btw I saw on the Warriors Fandom page that Ashfur is now in “The Dark Forest”

Ashfur who tried to kill his ex and her adopted kits: "StarClan ahoy!" Thistleclaw who tried to become deputy and never kill any cat: "WTH HE DERSERVES THE DARK FOREST!!!!!!!!!!!"

Day 14 of calling akira queen bc thats what she is!

Pov: KZfaq said thief were 25 comments *KZfaq was wrong*

Quick question When people talk about the reason why Ashfur is evil they never mention his mum getting killed. I have a feeling that had a big part in his idea of revenge. When ThunderClan was fighting the dogs Fireheart/star got Ashfur (Paw at the time) and his sister to help with the fight and to use their anger to help them. Which is pretty much saying that revenge is good. And he was also part of the group of apprentices that killed Bone which exposed him to violence. When he got rejected her thought that he could get revenge because he never had any consequences.

So, I got the notification of a video posted by someone else that was posted later on then this one, but then didn't get the notif for this one. Good job KZfaq, good job

I am only on the first broken code book, but I don’t mind the spoilers. Anyway, I’m excited that there’s only one more book, and I can’t wait to finish the others and read it!

WOOOHOOOO INTERESTING ASHFUR MAPS COMINGG

Caption mistakes: Yellowfang: killifang (0:41) Yelping (2:28) Ashfur: Ashford (0:31) (1:03) Aspher (1:10) Raggedstar: Ragazar (0:59) Rocketstar (1:03) Raggedster (1:14) Hollyleaf: Holy leaf (1:13) Feel free to continue the list. I'm getting tired and there are too many mistakes for me to point them all out.

raggedstar took advantage of yellowfang's forgiveness to keep her in an abusive relationship, i was in one as well and how raggedpelt treated her is far too similar to what i've gone through

this literally explains so much oh my god but also!! CONGRATS ON COMING OUT GIRL!! I am so happy for you and the fandom will support you all the way

And here we see why Raggedstar is absolute garbage

make a warrior cats as dogs challenge plzz

I was really hoping somebody would talk about this!! This is one of my favorite theories, and such a good character analysis moment, for Yellowfang especially. It almost makes it feel like they actually put some thought into the personalities and characterizations of the characters beyond just the surface for once.

Dude, when the "Impostor drama" Bramblewrong came in, I was slightly scared XD

PUT YOUR MUSIC ON APPLE MUSIC AND SPOTIFY AND STUFF LIKE THAT!!! Please!!!! I can't live without it!

I've been following the "Ashfur might be the imposter" thing for a while. Was it finally confirmed in the books??

Thank you Akira I'll be there

Ashfur

Wait raggedstar killed his father and broken star killed his it must run in the family

This makes sense

I love your brambleimposter drawing!

I've always held the view that when a questionable cat is being judged by Starclan, there are three factors that are taken into account: - Ratio of 'good' to 'bad' - The attitude of the cat towards the warrior code and their actions - Whether the cat expresses and experiences remorse for their actions Using this criteria, it helps explain why Hollyleaf went to Starclan and Thistleclaw did not.

*at **4:00** in the morning* Me: UGHHHH I CAN'T SLEEEEP :'( *starts rereading eclipse, reads a lionblaze chapter* Me again: snooooooooooooooore

Yellowfang knew if Ashfur went to the dark forest, his hair would get ruined, and those beautiful blonde locks would go to waste

Can u do a video on the Leopardstar super edition?

Yellowfang thought that someome with such fabulous hair could not possibly be evil, and really, who could blame her?

I wish I could read about Ashfur's trial

So what you’re saying: Yellowfang is a Southern Canadian?

5:06 Okay that’s going to give me nightmares, great art, but AHH that face is scary TwT

i havent seen warriors since i read the fourth series, and dawn of the clans, i need to read number 5.

Idea for a drawing challenge: Re-make/draw over: The warriors wiki cats. I've done this before, with Squirrelflight. I find it cool to see what people make of it.

I'm starting to believe that the only brown tabby tom we can trust is Crookedstar. Great video Akira!

Have you read more of those articles? They're all very much worth reading to see what kind of messagint the authors are going for. Usually messaging that's pretty... Harmful though. Like an article that seems to imply the "the word of the leader is warrior code" is good actually (despite this being taken advantage of multiple times by evil cats for nefarious purposes) because then leaders can do the right thing when their clan opposes them on it. Although we haven't really seen that happen in my opinion. And also an article that seemed to imply that the cats will face some sort of negative consequences for not following the code well enough. It specifically mentions that cats keep "forgetting" to give thanks to Starclan for the life of prey (when I feel like it's probably the multiple authors who forget about that rule). Would love to see you talk about them!

Ashfur is possibly the first cat to get kicked out and banished to the Dark Forest

Ight

Ashfur had 4 attempted murders with Firestar, Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Hollyleaf. He abused Lionblaze as his apprentice to the point the the Erins themselves stated that he didn't have the normal mentor/apprentice bond that all cats typically shared. On top of that he conspired with Hawkfrost who is a different clan cat and at the time was training in the dark forest, about killing Firestar. What was he thinking?? "Dang my Ex girlfriend doesn't want to be with me so I think I'll go kill her dad and torment and kill her adopted children." Ashfur did not love too much he is just a spicy villain kitty!

Woah-

Wooooooooo

Early!!!!!omg Iove it

Can you make a video about warriorclan

Is there a book about snowtuft I’ve always wondered why he went to the dark forest?

I might not be able to compete in the challenge I just like the idea

Wow, I am as old as the debate, well, a year younger than it

No views, 16 likes. _KZfaq...._ Bluestar: Yellowfang, why did we let Ashfur in- Yellowfang: Sshhh.... _plot convenience_ Squirrelflight and Leafpool: -Visible confusion- Fandom: Yellowfang, you're fired.

I just thought that Ashfur and Raggedstar should go to StarClan, because will the Dark Forest accept them? I mean there is nothing in between them, so StarClan usually pities cats that have done wrong. That's my opinion only. Dunno if it makes sense.

Woah Finally Im Early, Ashfur loved SquirrelFlight so much that when he realised she had kits with Bramble he went crazy. Holly Leaf didnt really know what had happened and had only been there when the fire started. So naturally, they killed Ashfur

Yellow fang was just jealous Of his hair of course!

Wow, I wonder where we’ve heard of a brown tomcat leader being abusive before writers?

Ashfur wasn'tevil, he felt rejected by everyone else. When squirrelflight became friends with him, he finally was accepted by someone. He took the chance to possess brambleclaw because. I'm too lazy to explain more

The first thing Ashfur did as the imposter was take over Thunderclan He revoked the citizenship of a certain few cats in the clan As the president of Manberg, Schlatt revoked Tommy and Wilbur’s citizenship Both of them who were evil ended up in heaven

¨when the imposter is sus!!🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

His only fault was to love to much. Like Mapleshade... now where did she go?
