what if ranboo was the one that wrote the revival book and just forgot about it? becuase if you think about it, if he doesn't remember his past, it would be safe to assume that he is black and white because he is half something and half something else- but what if his white half is actually like... a result of him reviving himself before, like tommy and wilbur's white streak? if he is so afraid of death, it would make sense if he would find a way to avoid that so- bazinga bazonga revive book o-O

The "did he even have lives in the first place?" And then the words on screen "clearly not hes a minecraft streamer" made me laugh so hard! Thank you for making my day! Happy Holidays!

I think the idea of Dream using Ranboo's lives to being back Wilbur and Tommy is super cool. I like the idea that you can't bring back someone without some kind of sacrifice.

A very accurate and serious theory: Ranboo wanted to kill off his character because it was hard to play.

And I really appreciate you concluding the revival book theory, it’s very interesting and I’m glad more people know about it now :D

Connor is the secret main character, we just never knew. He's got the personality and luck clearly :) /s

0:53 damn bro just roasting MC Streamers like that. This theory explains so many loose ends! I never thought about it this way!

Not only are the edits godly, but the theories themselves also tie up a ton of loose ends. 11/10, keep it up!

I cant find where tommy had a white streak in his hair. Wilbur's was because, as I see it, he spent more than 10 years in limbo, so hes going to age. I like the idea of ranboo giving his lives up for the revival book, but this opens a LOT of questions. for example: Would dream still revive technoblade to see what would happen (prison podcast) if theres a risk he loses an oppurtunity to revive people (one of ranboos canon lives)? Also ranboo would've had to give up his lives MANY months in the past, before Sam banned him from visiting. ALSO why would he kill tommy, its a wasted life, he didnt need to die, if the revival book feeds off peoples canon lives and ranboo is his minion doing stuff outside of prison, surely he would think twice before killing and then reviving someone? Also him having/reviving the animals in the disc war finale would cost a canon life, but i could see the revival book having some info on how to revive animals without costing a canon life

I'd like to note that Dream couldn't bring back Ranboo whenever he wanted to. After Ghostbur died he went to Wilbur's limbo basically taking his place so Wilbur could return. So I don't think the person can be revived until their ghost is gone. So Dream would have to kill Ghostboo before he can bring Ranboo back.

I think the theory that Ranboo and Charlie only had one life because they're mobs, or related to mobs, is interesting. But I have my own personal theory as to why Charlie "died." I write it like that because I don't think Slime lost a life, at least not the way people think. One thing slimes can do is subdivide into smaller pieces. Charlie showed he can do this to in multiple streams by giving small pieces of himself to others to hold on to. These pieces have also been shown to still hold some connection to Charlie. Not to mention, in Charlie's room you can see slime blocks on the walls. I propose that when Charlie fell into the lava, his main body of slime died, but the pieces of him that were scattered in his room attempted to reform himself. However, there wasn't enough slime to properly replicate Charlie's previous form and thus the body was lacking in function, couldn't speak and could barely move. Also Ranboo losing his lives as an exchange from dream to revive someone is cool, but doesn't make sense really when you think about it. Awesome video either way!

love the lore mate ngl stuff that i never thought about now keeps me awake

Theory: if we look at the prison podcast stream when techno and dream are trying to see what happens when they try to 'revive' techno, Dream noticeably punches techno during the process, something which nither of them mention really and just move on. This could mean that in order to revive someone, dream could need some reminant of the person themself. Think about it- Dream obviously would have something with Tommy's DNA when he revived him, and he could've needed Ghostboo himself in order for reviving wilbur to work. If this is true, the delay in reviving ranboo could be because dream doesn't have access to anything with ranboo's dna or a direct connection to him. This could leave room for two things he could possibly be after: Sam's sword, and Ghostboo.

what if Dream took 2 of Ranboo's lives in order to refill his own lives back up to 3, with Ranboo's enderwalking state he wouldnt even know about it. might also explain their connection and Dream's possible use for Ranboo. of course its juat a theory and likely not true because of other evidence...

My theory: Ranboo is made of two half of some type of creatures so when Sam kill him, Sam may killed both half and it counted as 2 lives.

Techno really didn’t want Ranboo to die, I don’t think he was thinking straight, only thinking that he could kill them and save Ranboo. I wonder, would Techno give up a life to get Ranboo back?

Can I just say your one of the most underrated KZfaq creators I’ve ever seen? I’ve been here since the MCC predictions and your editing honestly deserves a million subs! Keep up the good work Ani!

ok so this is my theory: ranboo was revived by dream at some point before dream revived wilbur. i think that when u revive someone, u r given a kinda psychological link with the person who u revived. i think that this link gets stronger over time. the reason that ranboo has memory problems is bcs the link between him and dream is getting stronger and dream is starting to control the link. this is also y ranboo can hear dream’s voice. i think that dream is using this link to control ranboo and the bond between them is so strong that now dream can literally give ranboo’s lives away. i think that when u revive someone, it’s a life for a life. so ranboo had 3 but dream used the link to give 2 of ranboo’s lives away, so that wilbur and tommy could be revived.

That notification just made me smile lol

I do not believe that the revival book is tied to ranboo in that way or anyone else simply because it would be incredibly stupid for dream to waste that power on tommy and then trying to revive technoblade while techno was still alive I just feel like it's incredibly improbable and dream is smarter than that I obviously could be wrong but I don't think I am Edit: the new hitting on 16 thing that Wilbur soot uploaded to AO3 proves that ramboo couldn't have been tied to the revival book in the way where it would take his lives

Damn ANOTHER THEORY LETS GOOOOOO

Plot twist: Ranboo is Dream’s son

I saw a comment on a video somewhere where someone said that Foolish can only lose a canon life if he’s saving someone else (Example: Took Eret’s place in the Red Banquet), so maybe he could be key to helping Ranboo come back

Now I can imagine Tubbo throwing away his last life for Ranboo to be brought back- Imma leave the tissues here for the peeps reading this 📤

yo, i cant wait for the hour long in depth look into the Connor lore. no but seriously awesome vid Ani you covered some really good theories.

This sort of goes with what you say, but if ranboos lives are connected to the revive book, what if every time someone is killed with the new death book that dreamXD was talking about, that life goes to Ranboo, and for every life brought back to people using the revive book, that life is taken away from ranboo. Idk just a thought.

i love this video the theory that you presented, fits soo perfectly with all the dots, that i cant think of a second theory, and you know when this happens it means you have created the best theory!! absolutely love it

The part where he said someone has to lose a life for Ranboo made me think of Philza sacrificing his only 1 life for Ranboo.

I can already machine technoblade being like: No Tubbo your not gonna use your life on this. As the sensei of my student ranboo I’ll use one of my lives on it. That would be awesome and fortify the fact that Technoblade is Ranboo’s sensei.

You. Are. A. Genius…. I’d never even considered this! Great work Ani! I applaud your intellect Mr Magician

Theory (I still haven't watched the video): I think the reason how he lost 2 lives is related to to dream using the revive book. In order for dream to revive someone, he has to use another life to revive them. So I thing Enderboo gave away his 2 live for dream to use in the revive book

I think the reason Dream said he owed Techno a favor, even though what Techno did for him was him repaying a favor to Dream, is because he knows that Techno cares about Ranboo and that, knowing Dream can bring people back to life, he would ask from him to bring Ranboo back, which he can use to make people believe that Ranboo's inevitable resurrection is because Techno requests it and not suspect that him and Ranboo are secretly allies This is highly possible, since, as you said, Dream has shown how good he is at keeping his alliances a secret (I'm especially referring to Dream and Punz secretly working together without even us knowig it) and he is also exeptionally good at planning far ahead, seemingly having a plan for every possible scenario, so it could be that it was not a coinsidence that things happened the way they did and that it was all part of Dream's plan, but I guess we'll have to see

Perfection

Did anyone else kind of have a small break down when he said that techno most likely will request Ranboo’s revival the next time him and Dream cross paths? Watching this now, they will never crossed paths again..

Animagician you probably hear this every day but your videos are REALLY GOOD

I knowticed Ranboo picking up the grass block too! I'm happy someone saw that. :D

Fun theory, and there's definitely a lot of potential for either answer with Ranboo's character. I feel like he's definitely got something in store for that little plot thread that's going to be reallly interesting to pick up on. It's probably nitpicky, but one thing I think you may be connecting dots for that aren't there is the white half of Ranboo, and the "white streaks in the hair" thing. Tommy having a white streak from being revived is just a fanon/headcanon thing, as far as I'm aware anyway, and Wilbur's stated before that the white streak was from him going grey-white due to stress and age. Very good video though, Im really hopeful for what Ranboo has planned for us!

“Maybe techno, people wanted his catchphrase to be proven wrong for a LONG time” oh have I got some bad news for you, buddy

7:28 FINALLY SOMEONE SAID THAT THEORY👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

THANK YOU!! It feels So GOOD to hear someone else voice tge exact same questions that have been burning in my head!! Like Y DOES Ranboo only have one life?(sorry had)!

“A soul, for a soul.” - Red Skull, Avenger’s Infinity War

I’m just excited for Conner syndicate lore. I do have a feeling techno’s next lore stream is him going to destroy the prison and/or kill sam for what he’s done. Then he will go to find Dream and ask him to use the favor on reviving ranboo. Ranboo gets revived and then the next syndicate meeting is to go on a mission to find micheal. I hope this theory gets some attention because my last one didn’t get any and I had to rewatch lore streams constantly to get lore pieces to create the other one (and this one a little) have a blessed day and a happy new year!!!

I like this theory of not all revivals are done without a cost. The Book really serves as a gateway for the soul to the host!!

Nice editing!

hey!! I really love your videos

The second I heard about ranboo's death I and that he had 1 life left, I realiized it might've been because of Tommy and Wilbur being revived. I'm happy to see someone mention the theory! Great video!

My brain hurts. People look into lore to much, but it’s so interesting!

(7:30)But if dream and ranboo canon lives are connected then dream would have 0 canon live as he lost 2 by himself and 1 by ranboo

its two am and my little lore-obsessed brain is going brrrrrrr at an alarming rate

I love you theory about why the people that have been revived have white streak because of Ranboo I really enjoy your content and can't wait for more! :)

Interesting theory, keep up the great work!

that last one where Ranboo became part of the revival book makes so much sense!!!

This was absolutely amazing-

This actually made my jaw drop open like omg how do you think of these things :0

The DreamSMP doesn’t even feel like just a Minecraft Roleplay Server anymore, but more like a TV show or an Anime. The way viewers make up: Theories, AUs, Head Canons etc is crazy to think of where it started; at the beginning it was *just a minecraft server*

If someone else would have to sacrifice one of their lives to bring Ranboo back, I have a strong feeling that it is going to be techno, as he is the one who wants him back, and would most likely do anything to get him back.

How....... just how.......? WHY IS IT SO GOOOD Also, Merry Christmas 🎄

My brain absolutely get destroyed 💀 HOWW WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT SO FAR AWAY

animagician: phil is brave baby zombie: get over here phil

i like the revival book theory cause the lives disappearing and not breaking reminds me of the description of the death book and i think if his final life would had been taken by the revive book he would be gone for good no limbo

one flaw dream used the revival book 3 times already remember he used it to summon god so techno could get a bell

Luv your vids never give up

this is so crazy but seems so accurate

sir, u have to much time to think so fucking out of the box, LIKE BRO THIS BLEW MY MIND

I really love your theory

I have a theory: what if dream took Ranbo 2 lives since he's connected to him in a way that he is a part of him. After dream escape the prison he took ranbo 2 lives so if he got surrounded and they killed him, he will be gone, but since he took ranbo 2 lives, he wouldn't have to worry about that knowing that ranbo was going to die with the one life, he didn't want to risk losing His other 3 live for his big plan?

Ranboo's been in limbo for almost 2 years- 😃😀😄🙂😔🙁

You're really going to town with these theories, huh?

I all most cried when they said people wanted techno to die r i p

Well if dream made this "prison" happen do you think dream might've wanted ranboo dead? Maybe that's the reason why he told Sam to build it. Dream wanted to have ranboo there. And at the end Dream had no hesitation to run away with techno. It's my guess! .o. Edit: what if dream tempted him to believe he had no lives. Maybe that's why ranboo didn't want to escape with dream and techno. Maybe ranboo DID want to believe he had no have a lives. My other guess! .o.

7:52 yes,book is using lifes as a energy source.

A sad thing to think about in Ranboo lore is that even after he died and said out loud what had been happening to him while alive ,nobody realised that he had been saying it. Nobody realised his mental health slowly falling from manipulation not just from dream but his own friends,being pushed to do things, nobody had ever actually helped ranboo during ranboos lore. And even though it may of seemed like they was helping really it was ranboo who was. Yet,he never got to speak out loud on what he himself wanted to speak out to everybody. But hey This is just an opinion A GAME OPINI- Yeah no

Your 2nd theory about ranboos life sounds correct , but I have a theory of mine aswell : What if you could choose between your Cannon lives. Think about it , in the post you shared the hearts just "fade" away , like an option . Whenever you die , you can choose to either use another life or just become a Ghost.

2:28 While showing my friend the dsmp (EvenMCGaming to be exact really cool vids go check them out and we NEED AND EP 8!!) I don't know if this matched up with the timeline, but she suspected that the explosions where from Quack man trying to blow up the egg, which is why they can't find any evidence of TNT

Ranboo as a whole might have had 3 life’s from the start but those life’s are divided between his enderman state and his “normal state”, one life in the “normal state” and two lives in the “enderman state”

the god of war music in the background lol

Green Florida man's machinations are so much fun!

Yoooo this is actually really interesting my interest is peaked!

WHOAAAHH THAT LAST THEORY IS SO COOL AND I HOPE IT'S TRUE

What if when Sam was asking Ranboo “questions” he was torturing him but he had to kill him, taking his two cannon lives like Tommy did to dream, and left him on one life until he killed him during the escape

I fell like the in between is going to come up again soon

I've got a cool theory! So y'know how ranboo has two sides, one enderman, and one unconfirmed mystery side. When ranboo was killed by Sam, maybe that killed the mystery side, enderman side, and human side at once, causing Ranboo to become a ghost after his first death. I could just be overthinking, but you know how deep these storylines get!

Ranboos death was just out of pocket

I like the background music at 5:50

Nice Hollow Knight music !

The video on the twitter account looks related to Undertale in some way. No idea if this is useful, probably isn't but just thought I should mention it :) Love the vids, keep up the great work

"Coincidence I think not!" HE SAID IT

u just blew my mind.

Bro the thumbnail is trippy af

i thought of another theory about lives: if ranboo had 3 lives initially, could he have lost 2 in another place? do characters get 3 lives when they enter the confines of the smp? there are for sure other places that aren't the smp area, as we saw in captain puffy's origin lore, and maybe a little bit of tales. but i do really like the idea that lives could be traded, jumaji-style. perhaps one day characters will be able to give other characters a life to save them (for example, phil dying and techno giving up a life so that technp has 2 but phil gets his one back).

I think at this point techno is never going to die, same thing with Phil only having one life, joke/reference put in by the writers

What if as well as bringing back people from the dead using the revival book you could also take someone's lives and give it to someone else (and that someone else could be dream) which could be a reason why his 2 lives faded away

Super cool!

i love this theory

Man poor ranboo he had a goal to find out where his “decoy” book is and he got shut down and killed during it:/

0:08 That really hits different now, doesn't it?

I think the theory with the revival book is really interesting and would like to add how dream said he'd kill and revive tommy all over again.. if that ever actually happens and the theory is true that could cause some massive problems, because people would just start losing life's seemingly out of nowhere.

I thought of Ranboo is somehow tied to the Revival Book. (I actually said that a week ago in the same exact way you did...)

I think personally that Ranboo's other half is a White Enderman, a mob that people claimed to see in earlier versions and was probably a graphical glitch. seems likely.

This aged so so well wow
