Let’s not forget that Kinkajou dropped an entire chunk of a brick wall onto Chameleon’s skull, even though Qibli already had him immobilized and stripped of animus tools where there was absolutely no need to further attack him. And right before the encounter, Kinkajou said “I owe that dragon a few broken bones and a coma!” She’s not a murderer, but she certainly has a burning vengeance in her. Also I’d say that erasing Darkstalker‘s memories and turning him into a child was a fate worse than death. She bloody erased Darkstalker’s soul and conscience from existence but left the body to wander around with some artificially remade host. In my eyes, that’s diabolical. Kinkajou did to Darkstalker exactly what Darkstalker was trying to do to everyone else: reshape and brainwash the mind with magic to become something fake.

Kinkajou is great and all, but she’s been tortured and affected by animus magic (anemones love spell). I’m 95% sure there is a darker kinkajou in there, which is… unnerving.

If Kinkajou made Peacemaker, is Peacemaker like Kinkajou’s oc?

If this is ever a series,a good candidate would be kestrel,everyone feels sorry for her when she tried to kill glory just because she is a rainwing, ABUSED and belittled clay and was physically violent towards all of them. These actions are overlooked just because she died a painful death. She is an antagonist,I get she had kids but if she treated the dod like that,then how would she treat her children? The fandom chooses to look at kestrel’s perspective,when you look at clay’s you get a much,much darker side.

Wings of fire and my little pony worked together to give high school me the weirdest edgy phase in human existence. And I will forever be grateful for it.

I feel like after kinkajou venomed that first nightwing while escaping with glory, that was when it started to go down. Remember, after doing that to the guard (I’m pretty sure it didn’t kill him) remember how guilty she felt? She never wanted to use those powers to hurt dragons. Time skip to the second arc, kinkajou is literally like “I SWEAR IF YOU TAKE ONE STEP CLOSER TO ME IN THAT WAY AGAIN IM GOING TO MAKE YOU *DROWN* IN VENOM!” She probably has a vengeful side to her. Think about how she dropped a brick on chameleon, even though the jade winglet took his powers away. She didn’t *need* to do that. But now she’s the vengeful kinkajou instead of the happy little rainwing in the forest. And with the darkstalker spell - yeah he did really, really bad things, but kinkajou was like “lets make this dragon poof out of existence and make a baby take over him lol”. The sadder part is in one of darkstalkers last bits of dialogue he says something like “im not evil-“ but then cuts off. I think then he finally starts to realise what he’s doing. Imagine kinkajou was the “beware the one who is not what she seems” in the prophecy

What also stands out is that in Moon Rising, Kinkajous first thoughts meeting Moonwatcher were about her “trauma”. She was traumatized by being tested on by the NightWings, so I think she wouldn’t hesitate to get at least a bit of revenge. I could kinda see her stiffen every time she met a NightWing.

Darkstalker, I believe, had many, many chances in life where he could turn around and start over. However, all the comments saying it was wrong for Kinkajou to take his memories and make him a baby have it all wrong. Darkstalker was at a point where, on his own, he wouldn’t be justified in ‘starting over’, not on his own. He’d nearly genocided an entire tribe of dragons he’d never even known, forced his father to disembowl himself, groomed and manipulated insecure dragons into being on his side with superpowered gifts, imprisoned a dragon into a carving, and brainwashed his girlfriend,. There is likely a few missing things in that. My point is, Kinkajou gave him the chance to start over an live in a new world. Darkstalker wasn’t going to ever start over, not by himself, he was far too arrogant for that, yet it was the best thing for him. It was also better for Foeslayer/Hope, as well, because she wouldn’t have to go through with killing her son (despite everything he did, that would be traumatic) and it gave her a chance at a happy life wiyh her kid. I’m 100% sure that when Peacemaker is a rational adult, and likely through his ‘teen’ years (like six or smth???) he will be informed that while he is a product of Darkstalker, he is no longer that dragon. He can choose to be what he wants to be.

*In Kinkajous' Defense* (don't worry, i did put a tldr) *Point Zero* Honestly, I really see some of what people are saying, ESPECIALLY with the Ruby/Tourmaline but I feel like some people are forgetting that Kinkajou didn't forcefeed Darkstalker the strawberry or anything. He ate it himself, saying it wouldn't affect him. (Unfortunately I don't have Darkstalker Legends on me, but if anyone can reference the actual paragraph stating that he was made to eat it, I will place my vote on criminal charges to whoever did this.) *Point One* And, like, yeah, as was said; Glory killed Fjord and Crocodile and that's not murder. Tsunami killed Gill and nobody is accusing her of being evil. This is because of one key reason: They didn't actually have a choice. Fjord could have killed Clay and Gill might have killed Tsunami. And to get into their positions in the arena, you can almost guarantee that they have killed. Crocodile was threatening the lives of a bunch of actual children, and it's likely she's killed in battle or in the Talons of Peace. And Tsunami and Glory are generally agreed to be innocent, or at least on very mild charges for the situation- Because the dragons they did this to (in Glorys' case, a significant amount more painfully than Tsunami and Kinkajou) dragons were categorically dangerous. They threatened, they showed a past of harming or killing dragons in eerily similar situations, they used their size and power as leverage against the less experienced and weaker. This is, by all means, someone who is intentionally causing harm or moments away from doing as such (hence Fjord breathing frostbreath on Clays' wing, Crocodile threatening the dragonets of destiny and approaching them in an attempt to trap them and Gill running straight at Tsunami, roaring at her, biting her and clawing at her) being fought back against; AKA *self defense/defense of others* (i swear i am still talking about kinkajou, this is just important background information) There is no defense for Crocodile, and, as far as I can tell, nobody who intends to defend her. But for Fjord and Gill, they can most certainly argue that they were forced into the position of fighting to the death, which is just what they did. But it's also exactly what Tsunami and Glory were doing! Obviously, they should not be charged. Gill gets the insanity defense, but that is to protect him from heavier repercussions of what he did to Tsunami, and doesn't affect the gravity of her actions in any way, except to maybe say that since she had no way of reasoning with him, and lighten the charges on her further. For anyone who agrees with that, obviously it's because, mini TL;DR, Glory and Tsunami were very much endangered or could clearly see another dragon endangered. *Point Two* And with Kinkajou and Darkstalker, that goes a hundredfold. If Crocodile was bigger and stronger than the dragonets of destiny and used that to her advantage, Darkstalker was much worse. (don't remember the exact quote, but when he drags Qibli into the canyon, which is obviously awful in itself, he points out that he could literally rip the earring off his ear, or probably his whole ear itself) He literally had the size of someone who hadn't stopped growing for two thousand years, and the killing experience of, oh that's right, his father, however many Icewings his knife sent to the Icewing troops got, however many Icewings were killed by his barrier around the Night Kingdom and, oh, that's right, HOWEVER MANY ICEWINGS WERE KILLED IN THE ACTUAL PLAGUE HE CREATED. And unlike the others, you can't even argue that that was a war crime rather than an unprovoked crime; This one was very much unprovoked, and don't even try with the 'he *felt* like there was still war', because that's not a defense at all and you know it. So, this was not at all 'murder' but rather 'voluntary manslaughter' (I swear they're different things), and the charges for that are hugely lower than murder charges, depending on circumstance. And to my third and final point, age *Point Three* Foeslayer was completely aware of what Kinkajou intended to do, FOESLAYER, who is MUCH older and more mature than Kinkajou, not even counting the 2,000 years since she was very rarely "awake" during that period. And that is important, because she endorsed it and co-operated, despite being much older- So even if you do really think there should be charges, those charges should go to Foeslayer and Foeslayer and also Foeslayer, along with the kidnapping-of-Tsunami charges. Edit: *Point Four* I recently learnt that Darkstalker was based off Tuis' abusive ex. End of point. Edit: I have a fifth point, but it's kinda just reiterating all the other points: If killing a killer is not seen as villainy, why is changing a changer? TL;DR: Darkstalker was told what the strawberry would do and still ate it, thinking he was too powerful for it. Glory and Tsunami weren't charged so why was Kinkajou? She was very much backed into a corner. And finally, Foeslayer was the oldest and should face the brunt of the charges, which should be for voluntary manslaughter and not murder. Also Darkstalker was not meant to be redeemable as he was based off Tuis' abusive ex-boyfriend. Thanks, I rest my case :)

I personally saw dark stalkers transformation into peacemaker as giving him a new fresh start, he had truly lost his mind in his misery and I don’t think he would have been convinced to stop his genocide since they had already tried with peaceful means but he had already been stuck in his ways for such a long time that everything they said got twisted in his delusions, just like some people, some dragons are to far gone to be helped. This also gave his mother the chance to raise him better without his crazy animus fathers influence, not to mention new identities so they wouldn’t get attacked by vengeful dragons and start the chaos all over again. I like darkstalker as much as the next person but he went to far.

Honestly, I don't blame Kinkajou for what she did to Chameleon. He put her in a coma for months. So why not put him in one? That's my thoughts on this at least. Also Chameleon only attacked Kinkajou just because she was a Rainwing.

That voice acting was absolutely incredible! That and the overall theme and presentation was just a treat to watch. Though not gonna lie, I was half expecting my views on adorable lil Kinkajou to irrevocably change for the worse. Thankfully not really xD. Its interesting to tie all these pieces together about the theme of identity, but ultimately pointing to what Darkstalker was trying to do, she basically had no choice but to kill him in the self defense of others, sad as that is to say... The fact it mirrors vigilante justice makes her more like Peril in that regard, and lemme tell you I was cheering her on her to kill Scarlet. (though teasing him once Darkstalker was effectively dying is a tad rude. Makes me a little surprised he didn't try to shut off Animus magic out of spite. His powers are the one thing he covets above all else after all.) It's also a fascinating point to bring up what the legal ramifications are. It never would have crossed my mind to think about Jade Mountain Academy having the equivalent of a jury! Now all that's left to wonder is do Fatespeaker and Deathbringer get a vote on the verdict here? Mostly depends on whether Glory shoots him down... though I get the sense he'd enjoy that either way. Those two are a riot. As for the whole meaning of being dead: I think Tourmaline, Hailstorm, and Darkstalker are all essentially that patient in the ICU who's brain died. The body is still working, and as long as machinery continues telling the heart to beat, the lungs to breath, etc the body will keep going. The machinery here isn't literal though in this case, as its a separate identity entirely keeping the body going. For both Tourmaline and Hailstorm, once their old brains rebooted and had to retake control, it became a very disorienting experience for their minds as we saw. In fact its the exact same way the body can get disoriented when physical machinery is suddenly removed. For the body that disorientation sometimes is enough for the organ to quit working entirely. And as we saw with the Pyrite memories in Hailstorm, it nearly broke him. I'm honestly shocked he didn't try to steal the scroll piece back in Possibility. Darkstalker however will forever remain brain dead, his body now driven by an entirely separate entity.

The Peacemaker decision has always kind of weirded me out. I mean, on the one hand, there wasn't really any other way to deal with Darkstalker; He was basically indestructible and pretty set on his ways. On the other hand, though, brainwashing Darkstalker comes off as a bit hypocritical to me...? I guess you could also argue that Kinkajou and the crew were just giving Darkstalker a taste of his own medicine, and desperate times call for desperate measures, but that still doesn't make what they did morally right... Especially since the books criticize Darkstalker and other characters for doing the same thing (Darkstalker enchanted Fireceteeth to look and act like Clearsight, Queen Scarlet and Chameleon enchanted Hailstorm to turn into Pyrite and Tourmaline into Queen Ruby, Arctic enchanted Whiteout to be "normal," etc). I hope Darkstalker gets a chance to come back like Tourmaline and Hailstorm did; That would make me feel more satisfied about his fate. Plus, I think Peacemaker eventually finding out about his past and making peace (get it?) with Darkstalker would just be really interesting to see. (I know this isn't really the point of the video, but I saw some other people discussing this in the comments and I wanted to dump my own take in lol. Also, speaking of the video, thanks for the great watch! Love your content) (Oh, and I just want to clarify that I'm NOT a Darkstalker sympathizer. Darkstalker did terrible things, and I'm glad Tui didn't try to redeem him. I just wish she would've written his defeat in a way that didn't align with his beliefs)

Your honor, we shouldn’t forget that Kinkajou, in the 1st arch, has killed a nightwing after she was captured and imprisoned by then. Although, I would count that down as self defense. But she DID drop a chunk of rock on Chameleon’s head EVEN after Qibli took away his powers in form of the scroll. And I would say that turning Darkstalker, against his will, into a rainwing/nightwing dragonet against his will and taking away his memories should be illegal.

It's true that Kinkajou made a very special visit to the Night Wing, it's possible that Darkstalker revealed a dark side that she didn't even know about. I remember that I found this ending brutal. Inteligent, but a certain form of violence. Especially the last one coming from this marvelous, adorable and always positive Kinkajou. In writing this, I remember the "the colorfull star scale? I mixed them with Rain Wings", it seems to me that she made this for a punishment AND that was fun. She says this with a chilling detachment glups.

Oh my gosh. This is DEEP. I feel like I'm listening to a sermon at church reflecting on life.

I feel like I'm going to be attacked but Kinkajou is one of my least favorite characters next to Sky. But the voice acting was one point it actually sounds like how they would speak when you're reading. Keep up the good work JMA.

Something very important to remember is that Kinkajou is still under or just had the spell on her disabled, and even then she doesn’t even imply she was hesitating to create Peacemaker. Most Kinkajou fans say she wasn’t conscious when Pyrite became Hailstorm so she doesn’t know how terrible this atrocity is. But this is utter nonsense as Anemone has directly cursed her very recently. It is also worth noting that Kinkajou made Peacemaker half rainwing instead of full blooded nightwing. This makes it much harder for Hope to lie through her teeth. It’s is implied that Peacemaker is younger than a 1 year old dragonet, and the event of the volcano where roughly 6-8 months ago at this point. The disappearances are implied to have started 4-5 months before that. This makes the breathing room for a plausible lie around half a year if we assume dragon go through pregnancy at the speed of humans. We know dragons have eggs for about a year before they hatch so 18 months at most. The narrative that hope hid in the rainforest at the peak of nightwing activity there is flimsy, and before someone points of Moon she’s a seer and telepath and Secretkeeper is aware of the mind reading. They probably used it multiple times to escape. If Peace was full blooded Hope can easily say that they hid in the mountains that kept she or a false family hidden and their records where lost in a cave in or eruption . Kinkajou made Peace and Hope living a good life the hardest thing imaginable in the long term all because the R word you can’t say on KZfaq. I can go into more detail on this situation but I’m already being to specific. Not to mention that there is no way Hope would go along with this in a couple of minutes without mind control, and since she doesn’t have an earring that’s pretty easy because the remains of the scroll has multiple pierces not just one. I could have said that better but I’m getting more triggered the longer I type so I am going to cut this short for now.

This was the thing about arc 2 I hated the most. Like this is the type of stuff that Darkstalker did all the time and he was depicted as villain, rightfully so, for doing so. But kinkajou does it and no one has anything to say about it. It throws the entire lesson of why Darkstalker was right out the window because obviously it is alright to do those things as long as “I’m the good guy” or “I’m right”.

Darkstalker end was way worse thant death. If you die, just RIP, you lived your life until the end, but transforming into another being is like a eternal taunt to your essence trapped in non-existence and replaced by a made up personality and form. (fr they even removed his half icewing genes, i don't know how Foeslayer could be ok with that deal)

You this makes me curious on how many war crimes have been committed in this series. I mean certain things can be dismissed that involve a Dragon's physical characteristics like being able to breathe fire or shooting corroding toxins but dragons do still have a very similar morality to us humans so I'd think it would apply.

I agree with the verdict, though that spell was done with Darkstalker’s magic, and there are a lot of earrings that undo any spell darkstalker casts. It’s entirely possible that he comes back, just with a newfound voice of compassion on his shoulder sort of like Halestorm had an identity crisis.

Man it's fun to have children's stories that delve into psychological identity horror that rivals SOMA.

I’m probably going to sound like a maniac by saying this,but I think maybe if they took away his memories besides the good ones-then he wouldn’t kill other dragons?It’s a risk though.Because nobody said another dragon remembers what he did and could tell him his memories all over again.But I don’t know.I still think turning him into a dragonet with no memories of their past life is still classified as killing.But I’m not persuasive or anything so I’ll let others say whether she’s innocent or not.

I saw the art at 1:40 as peril with exceptionally long arms help

The finales after The Brightest Night felt very lackluster. TBN had great plot and pacing, as well as a very satisfying feeling. DoD felt fillers in the first part and the finale felt rushed with Darkstalker’s ultimate fate. Spoilers below: TFoH suffered from slow second part and fathering boring third part, as well as disappointing villains in Wasp and Cottonmouth, but I felt Freedom was pretty good. But it felt like the epilogue was too short, and not enough was answered for to feel satisfying. For example, what happened to Sequoia? Is Hazel still queen? And of course there are still the fates of several characters that are yet to be explored, such as Sora, Umber, and Chameleon.

Fun video! All "trial" shenanigans aside: I think Kinkajou had arguably the single greatest character arc of anyone who never got to be a perspective character in the book series. She went from a happy-go-lucky dragon who wouldn't hurt a fly to someone who managed to bring the closest thing to a dragon god to heel through cleverness and resourcefulness alone. She also highlights a very clever and interesting bit of *CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT* that occurred that actually makes the school *itself* critical: She couldn't really read or write very well before the Jade Mountain Arc, but she learns enough to write a spell (albeit with some help) to arguably save more lives than any other dragon in the history of Pyrrhia.

Guilty and hero. However, the best part of this posting is the production! Various voice actors, outstanding narration, AND analytical content. Brilliantly done. So much work and so well crafted. I would subscribe again if I could!

What kinkajou did was pretty bad, I agree. She erased his personality and made him into a smol chil'. To be honest, I don't feel super bad for darkstalker. He was evil and manipulative, even if it was just the animus magic getting to his head. Lots of people disapprove of what kinkajou did. But what would you have done? Comment below how you would stop darkstalker.

Turning Darkstalker into a dragonet was wrong. First, taking away his animus magic, letting him choose the right path over time, and guiding him to become better, is what Moon could have done instead. I either wanted to see Darkstalker die, if he still went on with his bad ways, because of everything he did, and more specifically, because of what he did to his father, Arctic, or, I wanted to see him choose the right path _himself_ , after he realized his wrong actions. Turning Darkstalker into Peacemaker just felt so wrong. No matter how evil someone is, they still have the right to have all their memories. Darkstalker had feelings too. He'd have bad memories, yes. But he'd also have had the good ones, like his time with Foeslayer and Whiteout. To be honest, there's still a tiny bit of me left that wants to believe Darkstalker could have changed. I think....the key to his good side, is by seeing his loved ones unhappy about his actions. For example, Whiteout. After Darkstalker murdered Arctic, he was described to have seen his sister crying. Then, he felt 'a stab of guilt'. However, that emotion was just there for a second, before it was covered by his 'justifiable thoughts'. I know you might counter this statement by saying, 'What about with Clearsight?'. Yes. Darkstalker knew perfectly well that Clearsight disapproved completely of his actions, yet he still continued to ignore her, and went on with his ways. You may also counter my previous statement by asking about Foeslayer. Foeslayer tried as well, at the end of DoD to convince Darkstalker, however, even though it was his own mother telling him so, he disregarded her words, and ate the strawberry out of ego and overconfidence. However, there HAD to be someway to change him, wasn't there? I don't know, especially when it comes to such a complicated and tough-to-convince character. Overall, the ending of Darkness of Dragons just felt so rushed and uneven to me....

Nice video! Still super super hate Kinkajou tho lol I’m so honored to have my art used in this video! 💖

Just from the title I went "since when?" But the more I thought about it I realized... Since always

I don't like kinkajou mainly because she took offense to an immortal unkilling all powerful dragon for seeing what she was to him, not a threat, was kinda racist towards Nightwings and was hypocritically changing aspects of Darkstalker. She could have forced him to loose him magick and immortality but choose not to.

One really terrifying fact that most people overlook when the peacemaker conundrum is brought up is that there are god knows how many earrings floating around that negate darkstalkers magic,witch by itself on paper seems like it just equates to a poor peacemaker putting one on and then cosplaying as dust,expect here lies the problem. The spell,while set to trigger on the dragon that ate it,is revocable,and permanently so, since the spell didn't say it was permanent,and ran it's course with it being eaten,another problem with the non immortal Darkstalker turning to dust is the issue with immorality. Darkstalker made himself immortal,not undieing,most people forget the difference here,but for reference a zombie is undieing,you can disintegrate it but it still won't technically be dead, Darkstalker made himself immortal, meaning it's as if he was hooked up to a charger that whole time,like a phone,its plugged in,so it's immortal,when the earring cuases Darkstalker to lose that immortality it's not like mother gothi from Disney's tangled,it's like unplugging a phone,the battery just finally gets to wind down,but since Darkstalker was dead by all intents and purposes dureing jerboas anti Animus spell,when he returns, he'll still have his magic. TL;DR: kill Peacemaker and bury him under a mountain before some idiots give him one of the many earrings and sets everyone on a one way track to eternal dictatorship set to expire only when the Eldrazi arrive.

I feel like Kinkajou is justified. It's like killing a murderer. Hypocritical sure, but necessary to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Hello Jade! I haven’t commented in a while. How have you been? Also your so close to 10k! I remember when you weren’t even at 1K. Anyway, I hope you’ve been having a nice day ^^

Darkstalker was never evil,(remember) he’s just broken 1.he was sad after being buried trying to gain back clearsights trust 2.he had the worst dad and meanest 3.he just wanted to be a loving father but he couldn’t

Again, wonderful work here. I was gonna ask to audition but my voice was destroyed and scratchy, and I didn't have discord... :( Well, even still, the work was wonderful. And I hope to see more from this channel for years to come!

When my sister first read the books, she jokingly described the scene where Kinkajou knocks out Chameleon as "Her first murder" It took every ounce of willpower I had to not say it wouldn't be her last

Technically Kinkajou never killed Darkstalker, she transformed him into Peacemaker

The Turtle voice though! YES 😍😍

I think she isn't evil. But just a little crazy. Innocent but would keep an eye out.

Concluded kinkajou does not have a dark side

Honestly never thought of it like that I just thought she did what had to be done to save everyone from darkstalker. But apparently now it is a court case. Good video

Now this is an interesting theory/ take on this, I absolutely love your videos man and can’t wait for the next, I was also thinking you could do a video on the unique tribe traditions that they have and how they might have come to be, Ex. Why the mudwings work in sibling units and forgo parental relationships, Idk I think it would be a cool video idea and maybe you could make it like a mini series for each tribe. (Added to main comment so others can see this idea)

Kinkajou definitely should be held accountable, but I also feel like Darkstalker would have basically killed all the Icewings and brainwashed all the other dragons on Pyrrhia if he could. Regardless Kinkajou is secretly evil in my opinion, maybe because shes like my 4th least favorite character and Darkstalker is one of my favorites.

Everyone forgets how tsunami almost killed that one skywing, and she’s not getting tried for attempted murder

That voice acting it’s just *chefs kiss*

I guess i have the unpopular opinion here; but the dragons had no other choice then to completely reset darkstalker. If they took away his magic, he'd still have his previously casted spells. If they took away his spells, the nightwing tribe would still follow him. Most of them did not want to be ruled by Glory. And either way, Darkstalker has charisma. A LOT of charisma. He would be able to get a lot of dragons on his side to do who knows what. I cant think of any other way they could have stopped Darkstalker without morally 'killing' him. I'm really forgetful, when did she drop a brick on Chameleon's head? I personally think it's not right to kill any one in any situation, but chameleon helped/caused the deaths of tons of dragon. Especially by helping Vulture. I'd say it's a little unfair to judge Kinkajou; but if it weren't for sun time making her happier she'd probably be a pretty evil dragon. Idk im just dumping my opinions on the internet

I feel like kinkajou is a murderer, cause hear me out, she killed darkstalker but taking his memories, and they are under the jade mountain and in book 6 clay says something about no violence in the school after breaking up a fight, and tsunami, glory, and starflight all killed in defense for others OUTSIDE jade mountain, so I accuse, kinkajou the rainwing, guilty for the murder of darkstalker the ice-night wing, and sentence her to 4yrs in rainwing prison. Thank you for your time to read all this and pls understand this is my opinion, and I respect it if yours is different.

I guess kinkajou didn’t need to change darkstalker into peacemaker, but it was probably better because of what he’d done. He literally murdered his own father. I guess this is just a matter of opinion, but I don’t think of her as a murderer, she’s just a dragonet.

ARGHHH I know I’m late but I gotta say I love the voice actors so much, they are perfect! As always Very smart video, JMA!

I shall take this knowledge and use it wisely to drag my friends into a long winded conversation about wings of fire (a series the haven't read it just me talking endlessly about it)

wait a moment... What if Kinkajou was plotting even more plans but they were DARKER! You see in every book she is acting SO CHEERFUL and that was basically the only emotion she showed and people well everything needs to have a range of emotions not just 1-3 unless they are faking so what if maybe behind the sight of all the readers of the books she was in she did something really really dark TAKE NOTE: this is just a theory

Your PHILOSOPHY session teaches and asks bigger and more expanded questions than my teacher's philosophy sessions teach- which is barely anything XD. Your video has actually made things soooo deep, like its like you have the power to just think nonstop....which is really cool

Kinkajou is definitely a murder. When Jade Mountain Academy first opened, the Dragonets of Destiny specifically told the students that killing is not allowed while at school. Since Kinkajou changed Darkstalker on Jade Mountain Academy land. Therefore she is breaking the school’s laws. This leaves us with the obvious answer: Kinkajou murdered Darkstalker

Yo, you went deep with this... I like it.

But changing memories does matter

I replayed the "Tortured Darkstalker even in the last moments of his life" like 1 million times

In defence of Kinkajou, she was saving the world. It’s equivalent of Harry Potter destroying Voldemort at the end of the series, yet it is not considers ‘murder’ by most people. So I think Kinkajou should just walk free in all honesty

My opinion is that she is guilty of one thing: turning Darkstalker into Peacemaker (which isn't killing him, by the way, it's just brainwashing him). She acted like a hypocrite in that situation and was treated as a hero for it. I don't understand how someone can do something so wrong and have everyone agree that it was right. Kinkajou should be punished in some way. How? My opinion is having the same spell she put on Darkstalker put on her, but for a limited time (5 years?), as well as give Peacemaker his memories back when he turns a certain age (6 years old?). Either way, this is just my opinion.

When peacemaker grow older, they will told him that he was Darkstalker? How would react this young Dragonet

its funny how the road to 10K was 8 months ago. Now the talons of Qibli is at its highest 26.7K subs, I (a fellow qibli lover as well who comments on most of JMA's videos) am a proud subscriber of JMA and a wings of fire reader.

Turns out it wasn’t Kinkajou who gave Darkstalker the strawberry, it was Foeslayer his mom.

What kinkajou did was an act of war. She killed darkstalker to end a war.

Kinkajou is a killer, not a murderer

The turtle and peril voices are so accurate tho

I read alot of comments, kinkajou saying things like "I owe that dragon a few broken bones and a coma!" Then dropping a brick wall into Chameleon’s skull- like jeez. I wanted to make fanart of Kinkajou being evil already, Not that she is evil or a murderer, but it turns out to do this i dont even need to make an AU. Woah another reason I think she has a screw loose or something like that is because she is jealous of glory, who just walked in then was crowned, (in kinkajous pov) So, yeah tui could make her a potential villian that'd be fun to see and a great arc infact.

Tbh Kinkajou would be a good assassin-

I know this video is supposed to be about Kinkajou, but I loved your tangent on life or death. When Tourmaline was turned into Ruby, did Ruby remember being Tourmaline? Same with Hailstorm and Pyrite. Following your logic, did Tourmaline and Hailstorm actually DIE for a time before they were brought back to their original selves? And yes I mean die physically-dying isn’t just the heart and brain stopping and everything, but if you don’t remember who you are, you’ll think you’ll someone else, and the person you were is dead to you. Of course you wouldn’t even know whether they were dead or alive because you WERE them, but never knew. And for Darkstalker/Peacemaker, when Peacemaker appeared, Darkstalker was gone. His memories-his consciousness was a blank slate to his new life as Peacemaker. What about Darkstalker? If he technically died, even without his body, is he even in an afterlife? Does he share a conscious with Peacemaker? Is he secretly watching, feeling his body moving and thinking and can’t do anything to stop, even if he wanted to? His body changed-along with his mind, so technically, Darkstalker is no more. There is no other all powerful animus thrice-moon born NightWing who was the son of Foeslayer and Arctic, the brother of Whiteout, the soulmate of Clearsight, the one who committed bad decision after bad decision. There has and never will be Darkstalker. He’s literally gone. He doesn’t even have memories. Did he even go to the afterlife, if his entire heart, mind, and soul is inside of Peacemaker now? Darkstalker is dead, from that statement. His body, is no longer breathing. Peacemaker‘s is. His ambitions, goals, and passions no longer exist. He will never be able to experience anything else in the world as himself. He can only experience it through Peacemaker-IF Darkstalker himself can process anything now. Darkstalker, with his memories and everything, or rather lack thereof, won’t be able to comprehend anything else as himself anymore. The warmth of a hug, laughter at a stupid joke, his relationship with his friends and family before it all went south. No one, NO ONE, will ever be able to truly understand what Darkstalker went through. Why? Because they’re not him. No one else will ever be him. They won’t be able to be in his body, have his memories and thought process and twisted future understood through their own heads. Sure, maybe a telepath could understand the length of them, but they themselves will not truly be him. They can only sit and observe. Even if they understand his morals and memories, their own morals and memories will take over and question them. Even if you enchanted something to be him, which is impossible cause animus magic is officially gone, it won’t be him. It’ll be a version of him. A complete copy of him, maybe, but the real him came first. Kinkajou clearly didn’t think about the long term effects of the spell. Not that I blame her, I’d easily get caught in the heat of the moment, but that doesn’t mean that the possibility of thinking of the consequences doesn’t exist. Or perhaps she DID think of the consequences, but did it anyways. Which is even more terrible in my personal opinion.

“ ok lets get back to the murder child “ That, that fits kinkajou WAY TO PERFECTLY. Which is great :D

Kinkajou killed Darkstalker and you cannot change my mind!!!

Darkstalker is a character who had the rare chance of changing his ways and (by extenction) the future generations of Dragons all over the world for centuries to come, he even had a chance right before he fell asleep and finally got what was staring him in the face for years. But no one deserves that, I would love to see him reformed or in Heaven, living with Clearsight, maybe Tui should bring him back?

GUILTY!! JUDGES TAKE HER AWAY! Lol jk kinkajou is literally the definition of cool 😎 I am sick with Covid rn but this video completely turned my day around (: ty. ALSO Who is doing the voices for these characters? because whoever is doing an amazing job! 👍

Kinkajou was Darkstalker's no. 1 op. First she almost killed darkstalker by spitting venom into his eyes, but he healed himself, then she turned him into Peacemaker

I feel like ever since she left the rain forest she became just a *LITTTTTLE* bit evil

I think erasing his memories and totally destroying a dragon with a STRAWBERRY🍓 is not the most effective way sure it stops every thing he did before but still I think if they sized him smaller took away his powers and turned his soul back to normal I think that would've worked better also I REALLY REALLY want a arc 4 where a knew tribe has something like amunis powers and could re verse the spell they put on dark stalker to turn him back they will have to include the old characters to possibly warn them to change him back or normal but the knew tribe needs him for a prophecy

Not the law and order reference 💀 Also I want to say the art of Darkstalker eating the strawberry is by Biohazardia, I didn’t see her credited

Beware SCP-001, also known as Kinkajou or the Annihilator of Universes or the Killer of Immortals. Object Class: Apollyon Special Containment Procedures: None. Completely impossible to contain. Description: Kinkajou is an immortal rainwing of infinite power, unbound by the laws of physics, nor by the laws of any nation. If SCP-001 is in the same universe as you: Don't run. She can fly at speeds vastly exceeding the speed of light. Don't hide. Kinkajou is an omniscient being and knows where you are at all times, even if you're in another dimension. Don't fight back. Kinkajou is immortal and fighting back will only make her more mad. Don't call for help. Kinkajou will violently remove your vocal cords so that you are incapable of speech. Don't flee through a portal into another dimension. Kinkajou will close the portal while you are half way through, cutting your body in two. Don't appear big and threatening. Kinkajou will not be scared and just see it as a threat. Don't attempt to trap SCP-001. She once broke out of a chamber made of 1 trillion layers of vibranium, each layer being 1 billion light years thick, using just 0.000000000000000000001% of her power, although it is likely that she actually used far less of her power than that. Don't attempt to befriend SCP-001. While she is easily befriended, she will make you her best friend. This will make SCP-002 (Moonwatcher), SCP-003 (Winter), SCP-004 (Turtle), SCP-005 (Qibli), SCP-006 (Glory) and SCP-007 (Tamarin) jealous, who are all also omnipotent beings. They will kill you and resurrect you over and over again, with each death more painful than the last, for the rest of eternity. Don't even beg for mercy. She will just say that it is opposite day and make your death far more long and painful that what she initially planned. Do accept your fate. From the instant Kinkajou enters your universe, you will have precisely 5 or less minutes to live, no matter what.

Love the Law-and-Order intro Lol

Another amazing masterpiece from the jade mountain archives himself…

I feel like it is fine to "murder" someone if they can murder others Kinkajou die not really kill Drakstallker she was just preventing him of killing others by transforming him into a completely new dragon .So in conclusion she is innocent.But she has been able to hurt other but like the video said as self defense and did not kill them.

People are talking about darkstalker, and one phrase comes to mind: “If you wish to test a man, give him power”. Many say that power corrupts, but in reality it simply makes you more of what you are. A good person with power will try to do good things, a bad person with power will try to do bad things. Darkstalker, although unforgivable, provides valuable insight into this. He was always ambitious, and was always somewhat vengeful when he or his loved ones were wronged (for example: his initial hatred of his father due to the fact that arctic and foeslayer argued). Furthermore, his personality mostly stays the same, with the same thought process even as he gets worse. The same thoughts that led him to be protective of his mother lead him to try to kill the queen and eventually try to wipe out the icewings due to his personal grudge.

You forgot to metoin how long it took Hailstorm to recover from being Pyrite- even if Darkstalker turns back he'll take pretty much as longer as Hailstorm

I am telling you all to go to the parts of the video where Chameleon's quotes are read. Do that, then laugh. Do it.

I don't deny it Kinkajou did murder and harm many dragons but I don't believe any time she did it was unjustified or morally wrong for her to do so.

i think kinkajou is a case of fighting fire with the scorching or fighting a splash of water with a tsunami, darkstalker was stripped of everything and essentially, killed just the physical husk of his leftovers being something else, the real question is how foeslayer is so calm, seeing her son but slightly different with a whole nother personality, knowing she trapped his soul in a husk of his real self, tbh foeslayer is starting to seem a bit, at least kill him with his own magic like just write down i enchant darkstalker to be stripped of his imortality or something or i enchant darkstalker to die, also then they could show that darkstalker is dead

A happy Kinkajou is the happiest dragon in pyrrhia. An angry Kinkajou is the angriest dragon in pyrrhia

Personally, I think Kinkajou did Darkstalker a huge favor. Think about it. He was grieving so badly for his lover Clearsight that it was driving him mad with grief. (I know what it's like to yearn for those who are loved and lost. That pain never really leaves you.) If he was allowed to simply fly away, he would have lost what little grip on reality he had left and would have torn the world apart just to feel something in his black heart. He was his own worst enemy and he needed outside help to defeat that enemy.

I think that kinkajou is not guilty and is a hero.

Yeah Kinkajou isn't just a sweet, innocent Rainwing, her personality is honestly pretty similar to Tsunami's. I love her

“Murderous” is the last thing I would describe kinkajou as

Kinkajou had her reason for her villainy/heroism, she did it to save Pyrrhia. Yes some of the things she has done was unnecessary (like for instance when Turtle violently bashed Chameleon over the nose) like that time when Kinkajou had knocked Chameleon out with a brick. I do say her reason for that was reasonable (as well as for Turtle). She her that vengeful moment. When Kinkajou was escaping the Secret Night Kingdom with Glory. She shot magical death spit at a nightwing who had pinned Glory to the floor, but this reason was for helping/saving Glory. Kinkajou had felt very guilt shortly afterwards, proving that Kinkajou has some vengeance in her blood. How she 'killed' Darkstalker, was very necessary. In 'killing' Darkstalker, she had saved Pyrrhia. But other than all of that. I am voting Heroically NOT Guilty.

OFF THE WALLS BRO. you have went too far. but your right

The analysis of identity was so interesting! I love how you talk about the themes in depth.

I agree with this, but I also think it would have been better if darkstalker died in the typical way. Hear me out. Darkstalker was never originally bad. He had family, genuinely loved his mother and sister and tried to protect them from his abusive father. He had a girlfriend he genuinely loved and she loved him too. And he had a best friend who truly wanted the best for him. The animus magic corrupted him in the way that he wanted a better world for his tribe, he just didn’t know the right way to get there (HE WAS 5-6, THREE MOONS) Little by little, this hope for a better world worked with the animus magic to corrupt him into striving for power and gaining more and more to an unhealthy point. His abusive father did not help in the slightest (Remember, he was a KID) and darkstalker making arctic disembowel himself was REALLY when he went severely downhill, hence where clearsight and fathom stepped in. When darkstalker woke up, he still remembered his friends and family and was saddened by what they had done. He continued to be evil, and that caused everyone to work to stop him in the second arc. Now, remember the quote from the end of book ten: But…..Clearsight. Then she’ll really be gone.” (Or it was something like that.) If he died normally he could just go be with clear sight and fathom and everyone he loved regardless of now how clear sight has a new mate but still he could see her and remember her again. Just my opinion.

While ladies and gentlemen and Dragons of the jury is okay for intro, I think ladies and Dergs sounds a lil better lol

Kinkajou is such a great character and now I get this pressure it feels like. Darkstalker is my second favorite character and I just wish that Kinkajou didn't kill him. Edit: I start to get off topic here sorry lol Did I know he had to be defeated? Yes. But honestly I would have preferred he just died instead of turning into peacemaker, I honestly just see Peacemaker as a cover up for Darkstalker and not a real dragon. Darkstalker only did what he saw as best in his eyes. Yes those decisions were very questionable at parts though... Edit: finally back ontopic? I do think that Kinkajou killed him but I don't think she should be guilty because he would have found a way to wipe out the Icewings and made himself king of Pyhirra. So not guilty

For the first time, I feel VERY DEEPLY SORRY for Darkstalker. Also, I admire the argument.

I love how u just explained the meaning of Life to prove that kinkajou is a killer
