She is not the youngest. According to the movie, it is clear when she said "that's my little sister Amba's magic, I got the glow!"

Actually, nearly all Asian dragons are water dragons, and the rain was pengu's magic. Here's the theory that my friend and I came up with after watching the movie a couple of times: sisu's magic is that of rebirth, reincarnation, as water in the water cycle reforms, just like she does. Twice. We suspect her siblings knew that using the gem was going to kill whomsoever did it, and gave it to the one who could come back from that.

Correction: ALL the dragons are water dragons. Sisu’s siblings were just the most powerful, and Sisu doesn’t have the ability to summon rain. That ability belongs to her oldest brother, which is the wisest one. It was clear when she said “this was my oldest brother Jagan’s magic. He was able to bring rain.”. The reason why all the water disappears when she dies is because she was the last dragon alive. Once all the dragons are gone, the water will go with them since they are all water dragons.

The first theory is the most plausible by far. The other two depend on Sisu being inherently different from her siblings. ALL of the dragons are water dragons, not just Sisu. Her siblings chose her not just because she was so altruistic, but because she lacked confidence in herself. Pride is the downfall of humanity. Pride is what causes division. Pride causes us to mistrust one another because true trust requires a measure of humility, both in admitting that we can be wrong sometimes, and in admitting that we need each other. Sisu is a very humble dragon, to the point of self-depreciation. Her lack of confidence in herself is what made entrusting the gem to her specifically so important. The gem works via complete trust. By placing their trust in a dragon who had no confidence in herself, Sisu's siblings empowered the gem--and Sisu--more than they ever could have by giving it to literally anyone else. Also, Sisu is not the youngest. Amba is.

Actually, Sisu wasn't the one who could make it rain. She clearly says, her oldest brother Pengu, brings the rain, as she touches what I think was Spine's piece of the stone. I think Sisu still being alive is what kept the water flowing. Once she died, being the last dragon, that's when the water started to evaporate. Once the dragons were brought back was when the water came back. I think the first theory is the best because Sisu was so pure of heart.

Actually, when all the dragons came back (except Sisu) that’s when all the water came back. All the Dragons were responsible for the water so no matter who went the water would have stayed. In the film you can see when Sisu dies the water goes with her. When the rest of the dragons come back form stone the water comes back with them and then they bring Sisu back with the water because since they are all water dragons, revival that way would be successful (also because the plot demands it) but for dragons that are not water they would have no luck (I guess?) It proves that Sisu and all the dragons are Water Dragons except Sisu’s power was to swim stronger than anybody else. (I am just being stupid and saying that Sisu kept the water but then the rest of the dragons were able to bring it back when it all disappeared.)

Sisus magic is literally flow. Riding with the current. It may sound weak, but flowing water still levels mountains and erodes most things down to grains. She keeps going, she still believes people are good in the end. She knows things will work out.

Sisu is a unique Finnish concept. It is a Finnish term that can be roughly translated into English as: strength of will, determination, perseverance, and acting rationally in the face of adversity. Sisu is not momentary courage, but the ability to sustain that courage. It is a word that cannot be fully translated. Sisu’s power is in her name.

me and my sister were talking about a similar concept about the third theory, were sitting on the couch being like "SHES WAY MORE POWERFUL THAN PENGU!???" and being like "shes literally responsible for all life on earth!" good to know the theory is covered here, absolutely loved this movie

I think it's because she has the purest heart. It was said in the beginning that the dragons bring the water, so when Sisu died, the water left because her death was the death of the last of the dragons. Plus, Pengu brought the rain, and they were all water dragons, you can see in the end that the water _actually_ came back when the dragons did, then they brought back Sisu _using_ the water. Also, she wasn't the youngest, Amba is the youngest, Sisu comes second I believe. Pretty sure Pengu is the oldest, then Pranee and Jagan, then Sisu, then Amba. In that order except I'm not 100% sure about Pranee and Jagan's ages, I don't think it was ever mentioned where they fell in the line of siblings.

The theory about Sisu being responsible for the water makes sense in a way, however if i remember correctly, it was said in the beginning that all dragons bring the life into the land, so that means that any other last dragon could've died and the water as well would stop flowing, not necessarily related to Sisu

The last scene and the explanation why Sisu was important because she's a water dragon. i'm just gasping here like: 'omg THE SOUP! '

I have a theory that goes back to why the dragons weren’t brought back after they turned to stone the first time. This was because there still “druun” present in the world after they were wiped out. This was because there was still doubt, human discord, and no unity with the humans in the world (hence why they were separated to different tribes and they didn’t trust each other - seen in the first parts of the movie). Much like the end when Raya gives her piece to Namaari, it’s because “you have to take the first step.” I believe it’s similar to what happened with Sansu. She was chosen because her sibling dragons knew that her low self esteem and confidence made her scared and hesitant to use her powers to make the orb but seeing her loved ones do it she followed their first steps and dedicated herself to make the orb. At the end, all the dragons came back because the orb was brought together with the unity of all the tribes because there was mutual trust and unity within the humans again (the orb was brought together by one person from each tribe).

I saw one commenter here saying Sisu's magic is "Flow". She did say she's a REALLY good swimmer. What if her siblings' power can't actually be combined perfectly and it would actually need something to help it flow, circulate or stabilize it? Maybe her power is what actually enables her to tap into her siblings power(flow) after they retrieved the gem pieces?

I’d say unity. The whole point of the film is to unite the nations back into kumandra. Also it seems while her siblings could only use one power, she could use all of her siblings powers when she came in touch with the stone.

That sounds really interesting and most of the theories makes sense but... that part when you said Sisu was a water dragon. That's actually a true but her siblings were water dragons too and the other dragons. All of them are water dragons so this theory really doesn't make sense. And the powers she got were actually from her siblings when they made the dragon stone. I hope my comment makes sense and it wasn't a misunderstanding. But a very nice video!

I have a better theory. It’s because Sisu was the weakest dragon. The dragons infusing their power into the crystal sealed their fate turning them to stone thus unable to use the crystal. By entrusting Sisu to carry out the task the other dragons could make the crystal as powerful as possible. It’s important to mention that the story was centered around the message of trust.

When you started talking about Naga, you completely lost me. You did all this research, but didn't even bother looking into dragon lore. Water dragons are incredibly common, and all of the powers you described are written into Dragon lore. Sisu was not modeled after a Naga... she was modeled after DRAGONS.

Water disapeard because the last dragon died. It is not specifically Sisu who's death means no water in Kumandra. And the water returned BEFORE dragons revived Sisu.

This movie taught a very negative lesson in the end. The villain girl gaslights Raya and Raya falls for it and feels guilty. She has to try to trust the person who abused her in the past, multiple times, without any evidence of that person actually changing. Terrible lesson.

The movie was all about trusting your fellow man even when they've given you reason not to. If you return failure with distrust then everyone suffers. She is chosen as the last dragon because they have reason to trust the other dragons more, they had more wisdom and strength after all. They chose to trust the weakest member of their group because putting your life in the hands of someone capable is a trusting act based on logic where as putting your life in the hands of someone who is inadequate is trust based on faith which is stronger which made the magic stronger.

To put it simply, I was thinking Sisu was the only one who could hone her sibling's powers, I kinda doubt being a 'really strong swimmer' is her true specialty. I believe she could borrow and use other dragons magic.

I'm pretty sure her power is the ability to talk, as none of the other dragons seem to beable to speak human, they're just shown making animal noises

I think it was about trust. That because Sisu's siblings trusted her they were able to banish the Drune. The Drune feed off of chaos and discord and by trusting someone you show peace. That's why they had to trust Namaari to stay and save the world. Because if it was any other person they did trust, it wouldn't have worked. Because they showed peace and trust in Namaari and in Sisu, they were able to banish the Drune.

I think all the dragons are water dragons, i mean they all mostly look like her and have the same abilities like flying by walking on waters droplets. And the movie is inspired by asian culture where dragons are strongly connected to rivers and rains. I think the first one is the relevant. What vainquished the druuns was the will of humanity to trust eachother and unite together, not just the magical gem. As Raya said, it's not jsut about that. And since Droons are monster of evil, greed and selfishness, who better to destroy them than a good, generous and selfless personn?

Sisu having the purest heart is the theory I personally subscribe to for why her siblings chose her because it just makes sense to me

It looks like all dragons had the power to control water to some extent. Hell, it looked like the reason they could fly was due to them walking on steps made of water. Plus they all have fins, I just think the water stopped due to all dragons going extinct. She probably just got picked for being the best swimmer and most likely to escape out of all of them.

To me Sisu has what is called Imposter Syndrome and it shows a lot. She is truly powerful and able to pull people together

I always thought her power was being able to use other people’s abilities. Maybe she was the only one of the who would be able to use all four of their powers. I also assumed the water disappeared because ALL the dragons are now gone.

The first theory is the only one that held any water at all. For her being a water dragon: ALL the dragons were water dragons. When she died and the water dried up: she was the last living dragon so its not that she was important it was that dragons were important and when she died they were all completely gone. A more likely reason would be that she was the weakest dragon and therefore has the least to contribute to the creation of the gem. So they needed one dragon, any dragon, to stay behind and cast the spell but they needed the most power to make the gem and since Sisu had near 0 power to help create the gem she was chosen to cast the spell instead

The reason they chose her even if she wasn’t the youngest. She was younger by mind. Meaning, she wasn’t as mature as they where even if she’s older. We can even tell from her actions and personality she’s childish,goofy, pure, sweet,kind, and care free.

My theory is that it requires trust to work. You end wars through trust. I’ve always thought of the drune as the embodiment of war

Wonderful thories. The Water theory makes quite a bit of sense. Thanks for posting this!!

Sisu mentions she’s a really good swimmer, she could’ve been chosen as she can survive in and under water and she literally is water

A lot of these theorys are pretty good but my personal theory is that sisu's ability is to borrow/use the abilities of the other dragons she is close to. She was surprised when she first learned she could do that meaning none of the other dragons could. And just like the video i agree that her ability is that of unity.

Caption: 'why sisu's siblings actually picked her to be the last dragon' A third of the video in: we don't actually know for sure why they picked her Me: uhh what? That's why I came here 🤷‍♀️

So, basically: 1. Pure Hearted unity 2. Hehe water dragon 3. Hehe water dragon part 2

You ever wonder if Sisu died just because of the arrow in her heart or it was because it was the first time someone broke her trust? Like, her first real heartbreak and she was so hurt it killed her 😔

Vid: “There are spoilers you have been warned.” Me: *watches every spoiler that exists before I watch a movie.*

I thought it was going to be, “Sisu didn’t know” - how untrustworthy humans could be. As in, she was just the most trusting of all dragons because she didn’t know any better.

4:13 watch the movie it’s the siblings power that she got in the beginning like bruh-

I just thought that because she had the weakest magic (her swimming) her power was not added to the gem. Use the stronger dragon magic in the drune nuker, leave the weaker one to detonate it.

Sisu isn't responsible for the water, there just needs to be at least one dragon for all the water to be there, not specifically Sisu.

My theory is that sisu has the Power of all her siblings just couldnt use them and her siblings knew about that

Well, all the dragons were water dragons in this movie😅 am i right it's even said that druuni should represent fire? Reasons 2 and 3 are out, because all of them control water. So it's clear :) she had best heart

the water came before sisus resurection. In fact, sisu (as shown on your video) is resurected from the water, so no, her resurection doesnt bring the water back.

all of them are water dragons at the final we see how they all 'fly" but there just steping in the air with water like sisu THATS THE IDEEA

Theroy number 2 ignores that most of the dragons when seen at the end are able to manipulate water like Sisu.

Thank you for this video ! 😊💐

So, not just A water dragon, but THE water dragon!

SISU is the WATER HORSE thats how she just had the ability even if she didn't know it

TBH though, for me I think Sisu way cuter as the dragon more than her human form, but of course that might just be me

I was about to cry when Sisu dies

Hmmm, if they’re all water dragons who bring life and water........then what if there other types of dragons? Like fire dragons? Who, like, bring other things? Wisdom, hope, power, destruction, rejuvenating (cuz farmers burn their fields sometimes and rotate fields, and it’s actually helpful), Or even bring the sun and thus light? Moon? Stars? Gravity?Would they be from beyond Kumundra?That’d be a neat 2nd movie (Or even series). The Chinese zodiac has an eastern fire/golden-red dragon, so fire dragons can look similar in style to the water dragons here. Just food for thought

This movie contradicts itself. For example: they had established that each dragon possesses a special and characteristic ability or power (so characteristic that a dragon could be recognized only by the power or special ability that he possessed). One of the dragons had the power to "walk in the rain" which gave the power to "fly" (this seemed like a great idea to me since it gave another perspective or interpretation to the stories about oriental dragons that can fly without having wings, it was a great idea to run/walk in the air/rain). But at the end of the movie they show you ALL the dragons being able to walk through the air, without even being raining. Just with this, the movie loses internal coherence.

I think CC was chosen to be the last dragon because of like you said she has to be with water and like you said water is apart of survival

i went right to Disney plus and watched this movie before i finished this KZfaq video, That was amazing. A favorite of mine for now on.

Alright, first time I've heard of the movie, so I just went and watched it and now I'm back to watch this

Jeez. I always thought it was just trust, that the gem didn't do much but rather the fact that Sisu's siblings trusted her. In the end, Raya and her friends trusted mrs-what's-her-name to use the dragon gem to get rid of the druun again :p

And here I thought that she was chosen cuz she could talk with humans xD as the other dragons don't talk I suppose lmao

Oh there was a reason? Before watching the video I bet it’s just “she is very friendly and trusting so she’ll find the right people” Even though that really ain’t the case when she just stayed dormant for 100 years and when she came out she became the backstabber of the team even when she wasn’t trying to Heck she even gave the dragon gem to humans

I dunno… I mean, the first theory is the most plausible by far, but we don’t really know enough about Sisu’s siblings to actually confirm this. I have two other theories: 1) Sisu was chosen because she created the last, and biggest chunk of the gem. Think about it. When the dragon gem was split into 5, it seemed as though it was split unevenly. However, each gem pice gave Sisu a unique power: the power that her siblings held. Heart’s piece was Amba’s magic, Tail’s pice was Pranee’s, Talon’s piece was Jagan’s, and Spine’s was Pengu’s. Which meant that Fang’s piece- the biggest one- must’ve been Sisu’s. So perhaps it was a little to do with that. 2) Namaari and Sisu. Why is nobody talking about this parallel? According to Sisu, she “handed the gem in”. Namaari did the exact same thing, didn’t she? It was Raya and her team that actually went through the process of gathering the gem pieces, but it was Namaari who turned it in. Obviously, the idea they were trying to convey in that scene was that sometimes we trust not because the person is trustworthy, but because we have no other choice (yes, I know it’s from Squid Game and I don’t care). Sisu perhaps was the more fastidious, annoying and unreliable of her group. The loner. The one who didn’t trust as much. The only reason Raya and the rest could guarantee their safety when they gave Namaari the gems was because it wasn’t a question of whether she would give or not, it was a gamble, but they knew that Namaari had no real choice other than to put the gem together. Perhaps the same happened to Sisu, and that was why she was so focused on empowering Namaari. Who knows?

I think the first theory is true. My family and I had all thought this. 😁

I love your videos they do some of my favorite shows

Sisu, s siblings at also water dragons tho

Most dragons are water dragons the european dragons are the ones that breath fire

here's a theory shes a water god and her siblings knew this and she didnt so she didnt know how to control her powers and her siblings thought that she would learn how to fully control as time went on and learn how to kill the druin with her powers but instead she got washed away in the river unable to practice her powers so instead it played out how it did. and when she died since she was the water god all the water dried up cause it had no one to no longer obey.

should look into what type of dragon she is, remeder in lore that they were often contected to such things as rivers. suprised he didnt mention it at all in this video

ngl it was like disney compiled all of their cliche lines into one movie, but tbh it was pre cool

That was one of my favorite movies

Raya and the Last dragon is one of my favorite movies and the 3rd theory made soooo much sense that when she died all water disapeared too and there would be no life i was like sooo amazed🤩

SO THIS WAS THE REASON THANK YOU

3:41: 4:00 Pure Heart, the perfect counter to The Drone 4:04: Sisu.. the Last Hope 5:55: Sisu brought back to Life..! 6:01 / 6:04: Green Dragon, playing with Sisu ;) 6:35: more Valuable then we were lead to believe in the Movie

All that power at a young age; it's easy to understand how and why one would be so stressed out.

Well, no. All of the dragons are water dragons in Raya's Universe. I think the reason why water disappeared once Sisu was killed is because she was the last one, there was no other dragon alive to sustain water on earth. Also, she had absolutely pathetic power compared to other dragons... Soooo her power wouldn't be useful while creating dragon gem. Come on, good swimmer? You can keep it sis. She was also very kind and believed in good in people, regardless of their actions so here I can agree they might have think she's a right candidate. BUT other dragons couldn't predict that the gem will be broken to pieces. The task was super easy. Go back, get the gem that people will definitely happily hand it over to last dragon, activate it and bring other dragons back. How simple is that? They just did not predict that Sisu will be put down to some kind of sleep and could not do anything if not summoned by someone. Sorry but Sisu was the worse dragon of all, still loved and important to her siblings which is cute ❤️

I watched it and loved it because Daniel Dae Kim voices her dad and I love Johnny Gat from the saints row series

The last theory is icorrect. The water disappeared because the LAST dragon died. It came back before Sisu came back to life.

These reasons are not mutually exclusive. Maybe her siblings had multiple reasons.

Do you ever just watch spoilers and all theories, without watching the film and then you're just sittin' there like **interesting**

Basically the sisters thought it's too much work so they ganged up to pick the most obedient one to do it. It just so happens that Sisu is the most obedient one lmao

It's because she was filled with trust, so her siblings probably knew that already and realized that could counter the drune

I think option 1, because in Asian culture the common idea of dragons are water dragons. So option 2, can be thrown out if that’s true, and I’d say the death of the last dragon, creatures tied to water, would mean water in general is gone.

this became very fast my favorite disney movie. modern disney movie. cause i grew up on cinderella and ariel and beauty and the beast

YO Raya and the last dragon was lite, i mean no romance no songs, just love trust and friendship, Disneys done it again

Three type of comments I’m seeing 1. “I have another theory....” 2. “All the dragons are water dragons not just Sisu” 3. “Sisu isn’t the youngest Amba is”

From what I know in the movie I THINK that the reason she was THE LAST DRAGON is because she said LITERLY in the movie "Look I'm not the BEST dragon" What I am trying to say is If she had the least amount of magic that's another reason So the gem would be more powerful the reason why i think mine is correct cause I dont know if they knew that all of this would happen (it would not bring back the dragons as well) Thats all im gonna say 👀

I thought all the water disappeared because all the dragons in Kumandra were water dragons and when the last dragon dies the water does too.

lmaooo I have never heard of this movie before but good video

I think Sisu was chosen because she did not have a power like her sisters, she might had been the only one who could use her sibling abilities together and that might had been her power. As why the water dissapearred when she died is because nobody held her sisters powers anymore so the existence of her sister (water dragon) made the water possible to exist with her power. I never thought of otherwise I thought this was more logical lol.. but we will never know

Actually, if you pay attention to the movie, Sisu very explicitly says dragons bring water-not HER, all dragons, and we see this at the end when every dragon comes back and controls the water. Water also comes back before, not after, Sisu is resurrected. That immediately shoots down 2 of the 3 theories. The whole “purest of heart” concept is under the assumption that her siblings are not, and we see no evidence of this whatsoever. In fact, we see the opposite: they give their lives and powers for the world and Sisu all for the mere CHANCE that the human race may survive. Sisu does have the power to swim more likely faster than the other dragons (think of the Flash’s power being super speed but for Sisu it’s swimming) yet she is the only one who didn’t sacrifice that power to help forge the dragon gem. She said trust was the only factor that mattered when activating the dragon gem, and even she admitted she wasn’t sure how she did that (although from what we see at the end, it seems more like the gem simply reacts to trust rather than someone having to intentionally activate it). So honestly none of these theories are well founded and two blatantly ignore the movie’s explanations altogether.

Such a great movie 🍿 ❤️🔥

I have ANOTHER theory so… ok maybe she was the only dragon who could master their powers because she’s also the dragon of unity so it could be another reason

I watched this movie 2 or 1 month ago in a app that let's u watch movies before there release but it so fun

You are incorrect in many different places, actually Amba was the youngest, Pengu is the one who has the power of rain, etc. I don’t wanna list anymore bc I’m too tired

why is she so fluffy-

My understanding is that the Druun were created out of human distrust and the only way to destroy them was for humans to trust each other. I think that Janga and the other dragons realized this and that humans would have to come to this knowledge own their own. The gem was just a stop gap to give them time. They chose Sisu to be the keeper because she was the most trusting and thus the most likely to inspire trust. They didn't tell her because the trust she demonstrated had to be authentic. Once representatives from all five clans were united in trust, the Druun were destroyed and the dragons returned.

Oh! The power of unity is why she looks like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

This is great i love these theories but does anyone have theories as to why the dragons came back the second time and not the first?

I watched that movie a Dozen times all ready.

The movie was so good doe, when I use to be in primary, me and my class went to go to a trip and we saw it 😝
