      I've also heard a theory that the hanging man might be the creature cut out of the final feature: the Bell Boy. The mirror you have to smash to escape the bathroom has a chair on the other side, positioned so that the sitter can see through the glass to spy on people doing their business. At a special event advertising the game, where people dressed as the characters like the chefs, the Lady, Six, etc., also had a humanoid figure with a melted face appear from the other side of a mirror. Yet, mysteriously, we see no sign of him in the game--unless he was the hanging man.

      Jendra TheRabbit my theory is that the lady wants to be the most beautiful woman in the world so she put masks on the chefs and fed them so they would look fat and ugly , she hypnotized them so they would make food for everyone that came to the boat until they are fat and look even uglier than the chefs , after that she collected every child that she saw to put them in bags where they would stay until they starve to death or suffocate to death , after that she got tired so she looked for a janitor and found one but after seeing his face she put a mask on him and hypnotized him so he wouldn't disobey the rules or quit , the lady gave birth to six but realized that he/she could be more beautiful than her when he/she grows up so she sended her to the janitor so he would also put him in a bag so she could die , but her father refused to let his son/daughter die at such a young age he saved him/her and hid her in that suitcase before the lady hypnotized him so he would go and hang himself , six lived in that suitcase for years , and that brings us to now

    You forgot about the Bellboy. Apparently the only way to know about the Bellboy is if you went to a certain event for the game where there were people dressed up as characters. You had 2 chefs, the long-arms guy, the geisha and the bellboy, who stood behind a two-way mirror (in the game, there is a 2-way mirror in the bathroom, you have to break this mirror). I found that out in another theory video. So it's possible that the guy who hangs himself is the bellboy.

      It's possible, but the monsters that we see aren't really that tall, except for the Lady and those related to her. I believe the Bellboy is likely the height of the chefs or taller. It also doesn't look like him. And yes, it could be a costume, but we don't see it anywhere.

    I thought, the Lady couldn't stand looking at herself because she's insecure about her looks (all those shattered mirrors) and since she also has PICTURES of SIX yeah it can be her mother but the Lady probably thought that six was more beautiful than her thus Six being put down to the bottom of the Maw..

    • @mrreyes5004
      @mrreyes5004 4 роки тому +4

      @Polina Tkachenko That still doesn't explain why there are PICTURES OF SIX in The Lady's quarters. If Six isn't the girl in the yellow raincoat we see in those pictures, who is it? I've heard a popular theory that the girl in those pictures is actually the girl we play as in Very Little Nightmares; at the end of the game, it's revealed that the yellow raincoat-wearing girl we play as in that game actually ISN'T Six (she doesn't have a long braid of hair like the VLN girl was revealed to have).
      The theory goes that the Girl in the Yellow Raincoat (AKA the Stray Girl) we play as in VLN is actually the Lady's daughter who ran away from the Maw (which explains how and why she woke up in a hot-air balloon in the game's beginning; she used it to escape her mother's deathtrap ship), and when Six picked up her raincoat and wore it for herself, she was mistaken for the Lady's daughter and brought aboard by the Ferryman. It's then that the Lady realizes this girl is NOT her daughter, and then in her rage she curses Six with horrible hunger attacks that become more and more violent and animalistic before sending her down to the Prison with the other children.

  • @madisonseyfried4926
    @madisonseyfried4926 7 років тому +219

    I like your analysis--best explanation I've heard for Six's name. But there's something I have to disagree with you on: the hanging man. I don't think he killed himself.
    The chair that stands directly under him is far too small for him to have stood on, and if it were, it would have been kicked away. There were other chairs that would have done the job well--you know, the freakishly tall ones in the background. The first obvious suspect would be the Lady. She might have killed him out of disagreement or a ploy to seize control of the Maw. She certainly had the power to do this very easily. The second is the Janitor; his long arms and his climbing skills could also have done the job. My third and final suspect, and in my opinion the most likely, is Six. Why? Because the little chair is the only one she could maneuver around in the room, and though we see what could be a suicide note beside the chair, Six doesn't bother interacting with it--probably because she already knows what it says given that she might have written it herself. I couldn't tell you how she could have killed the guy, but remember that this is the same little girl that would go on to sever the Janitor's arms and murder the Lady, so she might have outwitted him in a similar fashion. Something also worth noting is the fact that she wakes up in a suitcase at the beginning of the game, not far from the victim--it might well have been his.
    So if my theory is correct, then here's my burning question: Why did the killer feel the need to disguise the murder as a suicide?

    • @steph0711
      @steph0711 7 років тому +64

      I get your theory, but at the same time, do note that in the beginning it is all new and strange to Six. She doesn't go dark until later on in the game and with the Janitor, she kinda didn't have a choice. Also, it is seen from Six's point of view, a child. So everything around her seems huge and sometimes distorted, so in reality it might not be that way. The chair in her eyes is a minor detail, which is why it is small, the legs hanging are way too long, because it is more prominent in the room and in Six's eyes they are huge. So I can believe he did commit suicide.

    are you sure that it was the mother who were hiding Six away for her own safety? I think it would make more sense if it was the father who had Six out in safety, maybe raised her in their home but not allowing her to go outside of the room to see the rest of the Maw. when he was at his last hours before death, he was hiding her away from her mother, the Lady. and because she went back, only to find her own father hanging himself, knowing it was her mother who drove him to do this action, has created a plan: get revenge for her father and get out of this rotten place.
    or atleast that´s what I´m thinking :p

      the room with the shoes and suitcases are what's left of all the people and children that have been eaten/got their soul sucked out of. It does remind strongly of the Holocaust, but in this case, seeing what the game is about, I believe it's more coincidence then consciously putting it in as a reference.

He would have to be lifted up to the height he is hanging from unless he climbed to that height and hung himself. If that were the case, why was the chair there? He seems tall enough to reach that height without assistance. Staged death?

    • @Rachel2000
      @Rachel2000 6 років тому +3

      The most plausible theory to me is that six is the daughter of the woman at the end, with the masked face. She banishes her daughter because she can't stand the fact that she is more beautiful than her. So she wants everyone on the ship to be uglier than her - that's why the staff wear masks to look uglier, all those children are being killed (so attractive genes die out) and they're feeding the hideous people on the ship. And she watches them as they're walking on to check that they are all ugly. Plus, the symbolism with all of the mirrors - all of the lady's mirrors are broken and it is a mirror that eventually defeats her, because of her vanity.

    • @lufefepanya62
      @lufefepanya62 7 років тому +1

      That would explain why everyone's face is deformed..... All of them apart from six. Maybe the two theories go together. The they all have this insatiable hunger and the mall is the were the victims are sent to satisfy their hunger. The Lady and he crew share the guests among themselves in order to satisfy their hunger... Now all that gluttony or after their done eating the guests it results in all of them having deformities caused by their cannibalistic act. The hanging man must have been the only one out of the group who couldn't continue with the act anymore.. This makes six the Snow White of this whole story, the one who holds all the beauty. Maybe the reason for her hunger is that fact that she refuses to eat and as the game goes she ends up being desperate for food and willing to eat anything. I think the hunger outgrows just eating flesh and makes them all crave more than flesh.

    • @MatrixMiles17
      @MatrixMiles17 7 років тому +4

      Sōsuke basically if you eat you become ugly but don't starve, whole downside is that you'd officially be a cannibal. Don't eat and you're pure but you starve to damn near death. I wish someone would post the 2nd comic and 3rd comic so I could have more to go on. The Lady however had no deformity, she wore a mask because she hated her beauty. She probably had the power of soul consumption since the beginning which caused her to never starve.

    • @lufefepanya62
      @lufefepanya62 7 років тому

      ***** Very True. Maybe she started off consuming flesh and then her hunger grew until she started consuming souls. I think The Lady's deformity might be her face and she can't stand what she sees when she looks at her reflection.

  • @achilles2743
    @achilles2743 7 років тому +92

    these theories, though amazing, are innacurate. six is related to the "7 sins" i think its japanese? the seven deadly sins are pride, gluttony, envy, lust,greed, wrath, and sloth. Six is based off of the 6th deadly sin; Gluttony. as you progress in the game/story, six gets hungrier and hungrier, eventually eating the masked lady. Gluttony means; the overconsumption of something until it is wasted. and as we progress, six consumes more and more, leaving most of it.on a side note, if you look at the comic books for little nightmares, there are children waiting for you when you escape. could they be the other sins?; prid, envy, lust, greed, and wrath. but where would sloth be? and how many children are WAITING for six? >3

      @DatRabbitisHere I don't think that the Ranaway boy is one of those sins. He didn't even new Six and those sins were probably her friends from the comic book.

    • @parthianarrow5874
      @parthianarrow5874 4 роки тому +5

      Seriously!? Japanese?!? Seven sins came from Christianity. There are seven sins and ten commandments described in a Bible and you don't actually have to read it to know where they came from.

    I don't think the guy hung himself.... if he was Six's dad then he must've learned what the lady did and took their daughter to save her from being the next host of this power. He hid Six in the suit case and before he could escape the lady could've drained him of life and staged everything as a suicide because it was at the bottom of the ship where no one goes right? What if she did that so if someone did go down there all they'd see was a pathetic man that hung himself. I believe that the reason she won't look into any mirror is because of the sins she committed, a complete mirror shows you the truth, a broken one shows nothing. All of them she broke besides one, she couldn't. It hurt her to see how the magic had taken its toll so she hid it away, then it was found by six. The lady became overwhelmed with the monster she saw in the mirror and broke down, not knowing that her own daughter would drain her of life and power. Six getting a taste of what it feels to have it, it drove her to where the guests (suffering of gluttony) were and took their lives, maybe she didn't know that she was just repeating history of her mother and that the lust for power came with a terrible price. (THIS JUST MY THEORY)

    Very good. But you forgot that there were actually two people that hung themselves. The long legged man, and another in the room were the bed with straps is. You have to climb just the right way in order to see him.
    You also didn't mention why the Gnomes are seen in photographs in certain locations, as well as why their is a security camera looking in on The Ladies bedroom, an area were she would be changing her clothing.

    I follow your autism series and came across this video and added it to my watch later playlist awhile back.
    I do not play video games, never have, most likely I never will. I also have no interest in anything related to fiction, horror, or sci-fi. Needless to say i was perplexed when this video came on.
    My instinct was to shut it down immediately, but i didn't. It somehow had a hold on me as it captured my full attention.
    The music and narration were smoothly hypnotic. i felt a connection with the character 6 and listened intently to the story.
    At the time i had no idea this was your creation. I should have recognized your voice, but I didn't.
    I was too engrossed by the dramatic storytelling.
    This, in my opinion this was a fantastic video. It was captivating and held my fuil attention from the beginning to the very end.
    You, my friend are a treasure. A most gifted and talented story teller.
    Simply Amazing!

    I interpreted the credits as Six taking over the maw, wanting to consume the souls of the rest of the visitors, now running it on her own terms. Six has an unquestionable hunger, and this is shown as the game progresses. This hunger leads her to take over the maw. She re-enters it after the credits and then the horn blares, sending her next wave of 'visitors'. Not to mention, the game's original title wasn't 'little nightmares', it was 'Hunger.'

    But strvation makes you slimmer, not shorter. Plus, even if Six and the nomes are little children, they cannot be the same species as the giants, they're just too small.

    • @maxderrat
      @maxderrat  7 років тому +18

      I didn't say starvation makes you shorter! The nomes could easily be younger than Six. Nevertheless, they're thin enough to fit through the holes in some of the cages. Plus, proportions are exaggerated in this world, CLEARLY.

    actually instead of the mother putting her deep down in the maw, my thoerie is the mother couldn't stand that her daughter was more beautiful than her (explaining why the mirrors were all broken because she hates they way she looks )she put her down in the prison for children .But six was to smart that she had escaped .When you first start she climbs a rope which mean she hid away for awhile. so her mother didn't put down there she hid there .

    A hungry nine-year-old girl named Six is trapped in The Maw - a mysterious vessel catering to the whims of sick and powerful creatures. After waking up in the lower depths of the Maw, Six decides to escape the harsh confines, having regular moments of excruciating hunger. Whilst ascending, she soon becomes stalked by the long-armed blind Janitor of the Maw; who has been capturing children and sending them on an overhead hook conveyor belt. She eventually becomes trapped by the Janitor after being lured by food, though she manages to escape. After evading the Janitor by cutting off his arms with a door, Six follows the conveyor belt upward, to a large kitchen operated by the grotesque Twin Chefs. After another bout of hunger, Six is forced to eat a live rat. The Chefs are preparing a large feast, and attempt to kill Six whenever she enters their line of sight. After managing to evade them, she finds a way out of the vessel.
    Six observes a boat ferrying large and obese suited Guests, who lumber to the Japanese-style dining area of the Maw, overseen by the Lady, the supposed leader of the Maw. After wading through the feast and the Guests' themselves, Six has another bout of hunger. When one of the Nomes, the recurring inhabitants of the Maw, offers her a sausage, Six eats the Nome.
    Six makes her way further upwards, entering the Lady's quarters. The Lady lives very lavishly in an elegant home, with many broken mirrors throughout the rooms. Chased by the Lady, who displays magical powers, Six finds a mirror that she uses against the Lady in a battle. Defeating her, Six approaches the Lady and eats her, and by doing so, gains her magical powers.
    Going downstairs to the dining area, Six walks along the tables with strange black particles swirling around her. As the Guests notice her presence, they attempt to eat her, but suddenly convulse and die as Six walks on. Six approaches a large door with an eye encrusted upon it, revealing a large staircase leading to the outside world. As she leaves the Maw behind, a few Nomes approach the door.
    After the end credits, Six is seen sitting by the entrance of the Maw, presumably awaiting rescue. Meanwhile in the background a foghorn from an approaching ship can be heard.

    @detrimen 4 роки тому

    I think 6 has Absorption powers; she receives traits of that which she eats. We see her hunger needs grow violent, causing her to need greater sustenance than the discarded meat, so she consumes a rat instead, giving her animalistic instincts. When she grows hungry once again, she comes across a gnome, and gives into those instincts, consuming her former ally. Then finally, after she defeats the Lady, she eats her as well, and absorbs her power, allowing her absorption powers to amplify to their full capacity.
    Probably not what’s actually going on, but I think it’s a good theory.

    Oooo, that's actually very interesting. And if that ends up being Six's background story for the Little Nightmares horror game then does the runaway kid in the mids of his journey find a way to save Six from the darkness in towards the end of the game? Cause I don't want for Six to become and stay evil. I hope that at the end of the game for when you play as the runaway kid that the runaway kid is able to save Six from this darkness that has seam to have taken over her.

Cause on the comics she appeared like a slave, like she first vanished her and erased her memory to the outside world and someone took her to the maw so she could be the next lady. Remember a geisha doesn’t live with their families,they live with the apprentice or people who wants to see them
