This proves once again that Firestar is literally Jesus.

: before watching : In the book doesn't yellowfang say that she thought her curse was loosing her two daughters but she figured out that her curse was that broken star survived

Technically speaking, Bluestar decided to take in Rusty because ThunderClan lost a fight to RiverClan for the first time in seasons and Spottedlleaf had a vision about fire that will save ThunderClan so Firestar's existence cannot be pinned on Brokenstar.

Apparently the book should have been called "Yellowfang's Curse"

Fantastic video!! Poor Yellowfang :')

If tigerstar was not in warriors, cinderpelt would not have that leg, which means she would be a warrior #warriorfacts

700th like--this is the first Warriors theory I've seen. But I think Mapleshade targeted Crookedstar because he was one of Appledusk's descendants. Think about it; Crookedstar was Appledusk's great-grandson. Mapleshade also helped Tigerclaw in his novella, and Tigerclaw was Oakstar's grandson. Based on the text in Yellowfang's Secret, it seems like Brokenstar was born corrupted. "Pulling herself out of her grief, Yellowfang turned her attention to her only surviving kit, and saw the expression on his small, flat face. He was new to the world--couldn't see, could barely crawl to her belly to feed. And yet his face was already twisted with strong emotion... _Rage? Hatred? I've never seen such a look on any cat, let alone a newborn kit._ Fear flooded through Yellowfang, making her shiver with cold. _Maybe this kit wasn't meant to survive either,_ she thought. A kit born with so much anger in him could only mean trouble for the Clan." In fact, if you trace Thistleclaw's lineage, you can connect him to Oakstar. They're not directly related--but it is possible. Thistleclaw's great-aunt was Oakstar's mate. I'm not saying this is a world-changing discovery (it's loose at best), but it is something. It seems like every cat Mapleshade attacked was somehow connected to the two cats who caused her the most suffering: Appledusk and Oakstar. I don't think that Mapleshade helped Brokenstar down the path to evil. I think he was there all along. But I agree with everything else you said here--it is a great theory.

I'd like to point out that since Brokenstar was the Clans punishment for exiling Sky Clan, the Clans that were the most vocal for them to leave (Wind and Shadow) suffered the most under Brokenstar. River Clan was meh so they didn't suffer much until later. But a Sky Clan Queen (Birdflight) and her kits stayed behind, and were taken in by Thunder Clan. Which Clan took Brokenstar in when he went blind? Thunder Clan... History repeated itself there

If Yellowfang never became a Medicine Cat, then Brokenstar would've had a different prefix probably

5:13 The pain is responsibility Yellowfang is me

to shorten this. Yellowfang's curse was that her two good kits were chosen to die and her evil killer for a son was chosen to live. This only happened because she was a medicine cat, who was not allowed to mate. This was starclan's punishment. It said in the books that she thought her punishment was losing her kits, but really it was that "HE survived".

I think Firestar would have still been taken into ThunderClan due to the prophecy. ThunderClan just didn’t have many kits as stated in the books. It was never mentioned that Brokenstar’s threat made ThunderClan desperate enough to do that. Plus they didn’t even know of Brokenstar’s entire threat till a gathering later where they notice the young cats who claim to be six moons of age and Yellowfang’s account which are both after his recruitment.

Well at that young age where Tigerstar lost his father, Scourge was tormented by his siblings and left out of their games constantly, Brokenstar was given away to an "ambitious queen like lizardstripe", in humans anyway, any sort of trauma is extremely damaging because their brains are still developing. I'm not saying every cat that suffered trauma at that young age turned out evil - Crookedstar and Whitestorm come to mind - but I think you're understating the role that trauma at a young age can really play in shaping someone's mind

I thought up an alternate reality where Brokenkit was more interested in what Yellowfang did and didn't let other cats taunt him out of hanging around with Yellowfang, a cat who he enjoyed hanging out with. He broke through fate itself and became Shadowclan's next Medicine Cat, to Raggedstar's displeasure. He still has to fight the darkness inside of him, but Yellowfang helps. I can't really think of a good medicine cat name other than his canon name. Brokenleaf, Brokenoak, Brokenfall (I like that one, like his fall into darkness was broken),

*Brokenstar never created the dark forest. No cat or creature ever did.*

Nice but heck. Why do everyone draw Yellowfang as ugly grand mommy when in book they Describe her as very beautiful!? :D

Yellowfang’s death but with a twist Fire paw/heart : Please don’t die! Yellow fang:.... ok *gets up and lives*

Actually Firestar would have been length of the Clans broken star or not blue star had a prophecy about him and when his Pelt shine in the sunlight she saw that he was the fire and he would still be letting because Tigerstar was still going to kill BlueStar

Did you know that Mapleshades Vengeance was actually originally called Mapleshades Curse

Hmm an interesting theory, but Brokenkit's suffering wouldn't have been as great as it was, even for being adopted, if Lizardstripe hadn't brutalized him. It is mentioned numerous times that she constantly nipped and starved the kit during his entire kithood. It was this brutality that laid the foundation of his future personality; that only the strong deserve to survive. He experienced no love during his most formative years, and by the time Yellowfang tried to help him, he was already well on his way to being evil. The possibility of Mapleshade training him is a good one, but she would have come when he was a little older, and the foundations would have already been laid. I'd lay a good deal of the blame on Lizardstripe for beginning his misery.

I'd say that's a good theory! I've always thought about that, but was never able to link it up. When Brokenstar was born, he was always quite violent or tempered, but not enough to build evil up on. So mabye, the dark forest decided to send Mapleshade to teach him and give him hope as he grew, while preparing him to take over the clan. He also seemed to know that Yelllowfang was his mother, so mabye they provided him that info so that he could get her out of the picture. It's possible that Starclan didn't know Rusty would be able to help, so instead Skyclan's ancestors sent the prophecy, since they knew it was time for Skyclan to return, even if Starclan didn't. *But that's just my part of this theory*

Poor Yellowfang, she’s my favorite character

This video made me appreciate Yellowfang’s Secret so much more.

Can you check more on mapleshade, and maybe think of a theory for her, to me she is one of the most influential cats ever, and if she did train brokenstar and a whole bunch of other cats that also were very influential, she might have something to her. Also great theory makes alot of sense to the story, that deffently helps

firestar also had 2 prophocies, had most glorious 'joining starclan party' ever. "the end of the stars draws near. 3 must become 4 to face the coming darkness that lasts forever." FIRESTAR WAS 4TH CAT OF THE 3 THAT BECAME 4!

ANOTHER AWESOME THEORY AAAAAA Believe me when I tell you you're the best Warrior cats (how do you even say that, theorist or analyzer?) Keep up the great work! Also Missy Dakota your art is awesome!

Honestly, I doubt the Erins ever put this much thought into this, knowing some of their other work they've produced... **coughcough Bravelands coughcough** But I really like this theory! Nice work piecing it together!

I liked Yellowfang a lot. I never thought about this. Great Theory!

o h I didn't realise that it was like a curse. *GASPS*

YOOOOOOOOOOOO This blew my mind! One of the best theories that I've seen for this series period. Awesome work! :D

*SPOILERS FOR THE NEWER BOOKS* The "theory" (which is basically fact as stated by Akira) that Brokenstar, all the destruction he caused, and the destruction and utter devastation he basically set up to happen later, was a punishment for the clans driving out and forgetting about Skyclan, actually makes so much sence to me at least looking at the chaos of the newer books. Firestar was a necessity in restoring and bringing back Skyclan. In A Vision Of Shadows and also The Broken Code, Skyclan returned to the other clans and finally found a place beside the lake. This was obviously after the events of Omen Of The Stars and the books leading up to it. So now that Skyclan has returned, everyone can rest easy, right? Well, not exactly. You see, I think over the course of destruction that Brokenstar caused, the Clans lost some of there traditions and uniqueness that made them separate from the other clans. If you read the later books, and then go back and read the first few books, you (or at least i) realised that many things have cchanged. I suppose you could blame it on perhaps writing style changed, but if you notice, the cats hardly ever share tonges every evening anymore, or at least its not mentioned hardly ever. This isnt the only tradition that they have seemingly forgotten about either. My point is, the Clans are not the same, as well as the warrior code is basically just like a rule your mom tells you over and over but you dont really care or follow it. Maybe the events of the broken code isnt necessarily punishing the cats for the code breakers, but simply trying to restore the clans to how they were before Brokenstar now that Skyclan is back and there punishment for driving them out is over Obviously there is many conflicting things with this such as ghost bramblestar and possessed bramblestar and a silent starclan, but I dont know. My main point im trying to make is that the destruction during and after brokenstar changed alot about the clans and kinda made them seem like there's nothing unique about them and like they have forgotten the traditions they used to have, at least that's what it seems like to me going back and reading the first book and seeing how things used to be.

I think they should make a super edition to Brokenstar, called "Brokenstar's pain." I can see it with him going through abuse until he meets Mapleshade, who trained him to evil.

Brilliant work! This video really helps and explains a lot. Honestly I doubt the Erins' had thought things out *this* well, but this makes Yellowfang's Secret sound way better in general since the fact that Yellowfang had powers made it seem like she just had them for the Super Addition alone and was a dumb idea as well as many other concepts in the book that people bashed at, but nope, your video makes it sound great. More theories please!!!

Yellowfang, I hold a torch for you. We all needed tou, and you'll always be known to us

"Never underestimate the details." I agree. In tigerheart's shadow when twolegs put traps out, they said that it was big enough to catch a fox. They used it to catch foxes.

Oh no! Not Yellowfang! 😭

So in theory, Yellowfang set up the whole entire book series from into the wild to the last hope

I really like this theory! It makes so much sense, and gives Yellowfang's power an actual meaning. I always thought it was random how she had that ability, but after watching this it all connects.

“What did the clans do to deserve such harsh punishment? Well the answer is right in front of us...” *nutrisystem ad* >:0

So yellowfang, pretty much firestire’s adoptive mother, was the reason firestar was there? Sounds like yellowfang was his biological mother o.o

I love yellowfang she's my favorite character in warriors 😀

This is honestly the best warrior cats video/theory I have EVER seen. How everything is connected, everything makes sense, it's just truly amazing.

Great video! I love the editing and the theory absolutely makes sense.

And don’t forget that she has to kill her son xD wow I feel bad for her

Yellowfang is one of my favorite cats.

YES FINALLY! I've wanted someone to make a video about Brokenstar being the punishment for SkyClan and you did so much more with that! I'm so happy

Just kinda adding onto the theory Brokenstar ALSO made shadowclan desperate enough to let Tigerstar into the clan and make him leader. He left them in such a bad state that they thought it was the best thing to do seeing as Tigerstar was such a strong cat.

NO YELLOWFANG IS NOT BEING BLAMED NO

if i was crookedkit i think i would of turned evil.....

*Path to evil* Me: why is my house there?

akria:"the answer is right in front of us " lap top:ad me:"well"

Watching this in school rn

Awesome, Never thought about Yellowfang so much before! (>w

How the entire warriors series could have not happened Yellowfangs mom: wanna have kits? Yellowfangs dad: no

“Yellowfang was born to suffer more than any cat” Bluestar: ahem

Yes. I am a potato .

"There were always five clans." - Bluestar, The Darkest Hour

Amazing theory! Keep up the amazing work!

*SPOILERS (KINDA)* I actually found some information in firestar's quest, the clans were planning on driving out skyclan at the gathering.. ITS IN THE PROLOUGE BTW

Did Missy Dakota change her mind about the Crowfeather video and wanted it as a Yellowfang video or are you still doing a Crowfeather video?

I’m imagining: What if Hopekit and Wishkit survived? Yellowfang would have still given them to Lizardstripe and she still could have abused the three. Wishpaw would want to choose to be a medicine cat while her siblings become warriors. Yes, Brokenstar would have became evil and Hopepaw, now Hopeheart, is his deputy after Raggedstar’s death, which was not only caused by Brokenstar, but also by Hopeheart. Wishpaw, on the other hand, got her medicine cat name: Wishcloud after so much training with Yellowfang. At this point, kits are apprenticed at less than six moons and to make it worse, Hopeheart adjusted a new rule that the apprentices will not get any medical treatment from the medicine cats to keep them hunting and fighting for ShadowClan. Because of the new rule, Yellowfang and Wishcloud was exiled, and Wishcloud’s apprentice, Runningnose, was forced to train as a warrior. Yellowfang and Wishcloud wandered for days, and Yellowfang told Wishcloud the truth: she was her mother. Wishcloud was upset at first, but after realizing that Yellowfang had helped her a lot, made amends. The two were taken as prisoners of ThunderClan, but were accepted by Bluestar after some drama. Wishcloud became Cinderpelt’s mentor. Yellowfang died after inhaling smoke when the old forest was being deforested, but Wishcloud survived and mourned her mother for many moons. In the lake territories, Leafpaw would have chosen Sorreltail and Wishcloud as her companions when Spottedleaf guided them to the Moonpool Meanwhile with Hopeheart, as the clan lost many cats because of her cruel rules, she was stripped of her position as a deputy and was exiled. She walked alone for a long time before she accidentally wandered into RiverClan territory. Leopardstar took her in and told Mistyfoot to give her some food before telling her to go away. Next, she stumbled into WindClan territory, where Onestar accepted her as a warrior, as long as she does not use ShadowClan battle methods. ShadowClan, still without a medicine cat, was still suffering from sickness before ThunderClan offered Wishcloud to be Runningnose’s mentor and temporary medicine cat. Wishcloud died of greencough because of trying to care for her clanmates when they were suffering greencough. Littlecloud got his name in honor of her. Hopeheart died from trying to help ThunderClan fight against the badgers.

I want a brokenstar super edition from his perspective!!! Brokenstar’s path Brokenstar’s kin Brokenstar’s shadow Brokenstar’s revenge Brokenstar’s tyranny

I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks now, and I’ve got to say that you are one of, if not the best warriors analysts (?? Did I seriously spell that correctly first try or did I just turn autocorrect off??) out there! (In my opinion, at least). I love the detail in these and how you assess everything so well; editing is amazing as well! One tip though, well not really even a tip; I’ve noticed that when you’re voiceacting/doing the voiceover for these you seem to drag out the last letter of most words in an exasperated way and it’s very distracting from the actual analysis and is really starting to bug me. That is most likely just my opinion though, since I haven’t seen any other comments addressing this. Thanks for putting together these amazing reviews! Keep it up and have a nice day! ^^

i personally think that firestar got WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to much attention who agrees?

OMG YOUR NEW ART IS AMAZING!!

I love your theories so much :)

OMG OMG IM HERE IM HERE OK!!!!!! Also, I'm liking the new drawings that you have Also, First!!

mapleshade isn't evil. she witnessed her mate let her 3 kits drown without him lifting a claw, so of course she went crazy!

Yes this is true. But Yellowfang is the 2nd most unlucky cat. I think Gray Wing should take first :0 Still a great video, and I love your content!

You did a REALLY good job here. Keep it up!

1:39 um no, thunderclan didn't let firestar in because of the threat of brokenstar. they state in the chapter of into the wild where they find out windclan has been driven out that brokenstar din't pose any threat at the last gathering, at that time firestar was already in the clan. brokenstar didn't pose any threat until firestar came to the clan. the reason why bluestar let firestar in us because the clan wasn't doing so hot in general at the time (pun unintended) and also because of the prophecy.

the maple'shade traing broken'kit might be cannon in the 2nd series tiger'star trys traing hawk'frost and bramble'star. also sense they are kin w/ an evil cat they maybe suffered. but the training only worked on hawk'frost. so this maple'shade training is maybe cannon.

Yeah, the Erin Hunter really like their details. I have another example - before Lionblaze, Hollyleaf and Jayfeather are born, Brambleclaw (I think it was him) looks at the clan and sees Leafpool. He thinks that the season is good for all the cats as even the slim she-cat Leafpool gained some weight. The next season we find out why.

This was an awesome theory! Love it!

I love the new theory! I'm gonna be honest and say your one of the most unique warrior cats youtubers out there, and it really shows! Keep up the great work! (P.s. I actually never thought of Yellowfang like that XD)

I'm still reading the book I'm on the part when yellowpaw and ragged pelt go to find ragged pelt's father at the twoleg place

Broken star: mo... I mean yellow fang eats kits Yellow fang: I do

brokenstar was also abused by lizardstripe

I LOVE the new art! Keep it up!! :)

this makes actually want to take a look at the series. but finding all the books is a bit of a challenge.

Wow I love your new art!

I have a medicine cat OC who adopted a kit and proceeded to quote the warrior code when confronted about it. The kit did need help, and Nightmist (or Skymist, depending on the roleplay) was there collecting herbs. He had a good opportunity to train a secret apprentice. And so he did, even whilst he had his own apprentice, and the kit (forgot the name) who had a home out of the camp would travel the territories to get catmint and other herbs while Nightmist trained his known apprentice. This ended up being a success for the Clans. And also, that kit was told to leave, but Nightmist made a home for them to hide in.

Ooh, what an interesting theory! I didn't think that the video would go so deep into it.

Omg i looooooove the new style of drawing!

Incredible art! I LOVE IT!

*Yellowfang, everyone's favorite grumpy grandma*

The art is Bootiful

While I love the idea of Mapleshade training Brokenkit (I love her), I do think YS tried to portray Brokenkit as evil from the start. As soon as Brokenkit was born, Yellowfang noticed her son's face being "contorted with rage" (paraphrasing probably, but I definitely remember he was some sort of angry). This was before Lizardstripe's mistreatment of him (as Yellowfang hadn't given him up yet) and before Mapleshade could've trained him, of course. I also get the impression that, in YS, Brokenstar's rise was written as an inevitable tragedy due to the actions before him. Yellowfang's breaking of the warrior code, Raggedstar's... cockiness? Assholery? Lizardstripe's abuse, the list goes on. Of course, you might say that it's not inevitable if Raggedstar's favouritism or Lizardstripe's abuse caused it, but what I mean is that every action led onto the next; kind of that Raggedstar favouring his son was inevitable, for instance. I hope that made sense.

Huh. That's opened my eyes more because I never expected yellowfang to be THAT THAT important. She's my favourite medicine cat and when you said "firestar was to restore skyclan" I was like... "oooooooohhhhhhhhhhh" well done on finding that out, I love this theory!

I never thought about Mapleshade training Brokenkit in the Dark Forest. I haven’t fully read Yellowfang's Secret yet, but thank you for theorizing that.

here's a little thing I thought of, what if Starclan gave the whoever named broken kit, the Idea of calling him broken kit because they knew he would break the warrior code? Or it's just because he has a broken tail... Does he have a broken tail?

WOW this blew my mind... I hadn't thought of any of this

Brokenstar was named Brokenstar because (from the book) 'of the feeling she felt in her heart.' so, if she was a WARRIOR then, he would be Satankit

AAAA ur art is great

Wait..Yellowfang is like... *Snape*

I feel like this was more of a video about Brokenstar than Yellowfang. Still, great theory! It's really great.

Yellowfang had a prophecy her son was evil. Yellowfang had a power which caused her to be forced to be a medicine cat, running her chance with raggedstar. But, she ended up having his kits anyway.

Maybe they meant fire will save the clan in a different way. Maybe the “clan” Spottedleaf referred to was SkyClan.
