Someone pointed out that Dream really liked seeing the clock at exactly twilight... maybe because it looks like Ranboo's face. Right half dark and the left half light.
4:30 it's also worth mentioning that 451 is the temperature at which paper burns. This led ARG participants at the time to think the Imgur link would be deleted. :)
Karl's whole lore involves him being torn between two forces. The text on Tubbo's streams are two voices arguing about something (nukes?). Ranboo's whole character is split into halves. Interesting.
Maybe The tubbo text is ifaiker and his son R.faiker talking, wilbur soot's old arg personality since R.faiker was always complaining about being cold and most of his words were "I'm cold" and ifaiker was very formal and good minded but still always looked like he was cold
@@CALndStuff That is a good idea, but doesn't that more accurately connect to c/Wilbur and ghostbur (ghostbur being the calm one, who dies in the end, is forgetful and does not remember bad things, and c/Wilbur is the angry one with trauma) They are also the same soul, like in the explanation of red herring.
So maybe Tubbo and Karl had eachother's personalities and souls split in half to create Ranboo's personality. Before you ask, dunno how it works but yeah.
"Michael is the purest source of joy on the entire server" :') amazing video by the way, i've started to get really interested in arg's and this is helping a ton
Theres a theory that Z is Phil cause his syndicate codename is Zephyrus or something like that and according to greek mithology is a wind god of west....😯.. Have a nice day whoever is reading this!!
wow im late to this but this could be true and could have something to do with tubbo because on one of his streams there was text popping up saying "dont go to the north" and "go to the north". sorry if this dosent make sense, i just wanted to point it out
@@theawesomecow2057 eh, your not late...I think it does make sense.....If I remmeber well...its was a stream from april 1 right? The stream was confusing itself cause it was not confirmed if it was actual lore or april fool but :D we can keep thta in mind.
Wait a minute, I recognise the song at around 5:20 that has ticking sounds in the background. It's the theme song from Black Friday, a musical from Starkids, which is about a cosmic entity called Mr. Wiggly trying to invade everybody's minds and cause widescale chaos. Maybe Ranboo is referencing the fact that Dream is trying to invade his mind? Another thing to add is that when Sapnap sent Ranboo the smiley face, Ranboo seemed to had entered his enderwalk, would it mean that the smiley face is some sort of trigger word that turns him into a brainwashed spy (like Bucky the Winter Soldier) that Dream uses to take control of Ranboo? The last thing I wanted to point out is that if the time travel link is true, maybe the messages that appear on Tubbo's streams are warnings that future Tubbo (or Ranboo) is sending back in time (cause the texts mentioned Michael). There seems to be 2 or more people sending the texts considering the messages contradict each other at times (the go north/dont go north bit), meaning that maybe Tubbo would also be controlled? Fundy had also received warnings from the future in his dreams so that is quite possible.
"other people think this is a reference to farenheit 451" it's me, i'm people. I read that entire book for the arg and found that it had themes similar to ranboo's character lore and ended up sharing my findings with general 1
In Karl’s latest tales from the smp, he went to a place called ‘The other side,’ where everything is black. Karl becomes darker. This could be the other side of Ranboo. It matches with both of Karl’s dimensions in time travelling.
yeah it could be becouse there is theory that one of ranboos sides is his acual self (witch i think is the enderman half but some people think its the other half) and the other is just something like a parasite that has invaded ranboos body and that it might have something to do with the enderwalks. colors are pretty important on the smp so ill make sure to note about the inbetween and the other side and how its connected to ranboo.
32:30 someone is in Michaels room.. Cake is in Michaels room, the mysterious messages mention cake and also say Michaels name, and why does ranboo want to protect his family, there hasn't been any threat to his family.. It may be normal to dad's idk but maybe he has seen the person in Michaels room, but never wrote it down or remembered it and he just wants to protect his family from that person?
adding on to the “karl and ranboo might be connected” theory. dream said everything in the smp is going to connect into ONE BIG thing. so all the lore is going to come together. and i think we can already see bits of the lore being connected to other lore. amazing video btw!!!!
I am glad you put the avengers music over everyone coming through the portal to arrest dream, I am pretty sure everyone heard that in their heads when it happened.
This is connecting to the Karl theory. So at the end of Karl's "in-between" stream, he goes through the portal which makes him forget his friends and family, obviously the in-between (disguised as good) trying to put him off. But Karl decides to enter the portal anyways. When Karl enters the portal instead of being transported to the real world/Dream SMP server he is transferred to "the otherside." Many people believe that the in between is actually the side were you do not want to be and that the other side, although because of its dark colours, is the place you want to be. Now if you take a look at ranboo he is half black, half desaturated white. The inbetween is desaturated white, the otherside is black/red. Now, if you look at a traffic like, green is for go and red is for stop. On the desaturated white side of ranboo, his eye seems to be red/dark pink. On the black/desaturated grey side of ranboo his eye seems to be green. Now the otherside doesn't cause memory loss as the inbetween does. Maybe ranboo is connected to the inbetween AND the other side or what if the inbetween and otherside was at war and the inbetween and otherside combined themselves (creating ranboo) to keep civilization between the two.
late but this is really interesting considering that many people think one of ranboos sides is his acual self and the other is something like a parasite that has inviaded him. this has further evidence from a jackbox stream where i think wilbur said something along the lines of if ranboo dies in the smp to whitch ranboo resopns "if i died wouldent i just be boo/ran" sorry i cant remember if he said boo or ran but i think you get the jist. sorry but i really wanted to point this out
Did anyone realise how *underrated* this is? Sure, it is a few months old and there's plenty new lore and information about Ranboos character, but seriously *this* is what I call real effort! I'm just mindblown!
Okay, yes the ranboo arg is awesome, but can I talk about how well you made this video?! I can’t currently watch it, but your introduction to the video literally made me gasp. I’m excited to watch this as if I’m waiting for a movie to come out of theaters.
omg im coming back to this video after a year and you NEED to continue this!! the latest ranboo and tales lore connects so much to karl and ranboo! and the messages on tubbo's stream seem to connect to ghostboo/ranboo's limbo
I just looked it up cause I was curious but evidently the name of ranboo in tales of the Smp episode 6 was named Zachary starting with a Z. This was one of the two tales of the Smp’s that take place during present day. Maybe Zachary has something to do with it
I've seen some of these evidence like the iron one in the inventory I thought it was weird but I didn't know this was going on in the background to be honest and I've seen clips of the words on tubbos stream but I was not actually there this video helped a lot thanks :)
The escape room analogy is probably the best way I’ve heard to explain ARGs. When people ask what it is I always see people writing paragraphs trying to explain what ARGs are and how they work, but they just end up making the person more confused.
yeah it was the best comparison i could think of for someone new. there’s not a lot of things similar to an arg if you’ve never been a part of one before 😅
i honestly didnt know there was an arg happening. you got me hooked into this story, this is incredible. also i appreciate the editing, the zooming in on the letters and stuff, must have took you hours. i hope you get like a million views soon, you deserve it!!
Oh God we have another arg with the "I am cold" line these people need blankets jackets tea etc okay what I get is people in the dream smp are always cold
I just- this is amazing. Dude, this is SUPER underrated for its quality, I'm just in awe. Legit freaking killed it. Just 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000/10.
The other half of Ranboo is definitely related to the Karl lore because time is involved with the ranboo arg there are also books written by an unknown person as a guide to the in between. I think his other half may be a ghast because it does resemble one . The ghast part may be related to tnt since ghast shoot out explosions or fire balls. So maybe he was “ghastwalking” if he created the books from the in between. If anyone wants to back up this theory please reply!
The tubbo messages are wilburs old arg self when he edited for jacksucksatlife or maybe ghostbur talking to him but it's probably the old arg since the old arg wilbur constantly was either very formal or very child like those were two different people when wearing glasses he was formal and otherwise he was really irratic and was constantly talking about being cold
the smile could be a trigger to activate the enderwalking state, he walks off silently (almost like he's going into ederwalking state) because of the message ':)' from dream via sapnap,, idk just a thought
I'm so happy you made this, as well as complied sources and links! This'll hopefully make things easier and make the arg more popular. Idea I had while watching; it could be a possibility that Ranboo could be Z and it hasn't been explored alot I feel. Z seems to be some kind of scientist who was researching enderwalking, so it wouldn't be to far fetched that they were researching how one becomes infected. What of through research he infects himself with what causes enderwalking, resulting in memory loss of both the research and any previous life relations. This would bring us to the more well known ranboo, and the past ranboo who may have originally knew dream. Dream has mentioned he knew ranboo before others did and was once friends even though we've never seen this. So I propose that we are working with two ranboos currently; one is the ranboo we know and see on streams, and the other is the original scientist who's friends with dream and talks to/takes over the more familiar Ranboo(I'm mainly saying this because if dream was really able to mind control he'd do it more).
wow this is acutally a really cool theory! in a recent stream, ranboo creates a lab in a stronghold to try to enhance his enderman abilities and learn more about the enderwalk. if this theory is true, this could mean that his scientist past self is becoming more prominent or was in control of ranboo
i have a theory that the dream voice in ranboo's head could be Z. i feel like dream has another clone of him, which could be why the voice sounds a lot like dream. Z is trying to figure out more about enderwalking, and dream seems to know how to switch ranboo into his enderwalk stage. it could be possible that Z is somehow connected to dream, which is why dream knows how to switch ranboo to the enderwalk stage. Z might've found out how to turn the enderwalk stage on and off, and they told dream. i find it kind of weird how dream knows how to make ranboo go into his enderwalk stage, but it would make sense if Z somehow told dream about the enderwalk stage which could connect them somehow. if Z and dream dont know each other then its possible that dream has read the pages that Z had, which is why dream knows a few things about enderwalk but im not sure. it could be possible that dream and Z are related but i dont have much evidence to prove that.
What if the revive book is also from Z? I mean, there's not many other research characters currently and Z is already doing research and writing it down. Nothing solid, but I think that'd be cool.
@@neroquin i do think that Z may have written the revival book, since it seems that Z has/had been alive before Dream or Schlatt got a hold of it. Z is the only one that is writing things down based on his research which would explain why some of the pages that are found are in a random order and its messed up.
What if Ranboos other half has something similar to the ender walk where instead of staying in the SMP he time travels and that’s how he’s trapped in the cave and trying to warn ranboo
So Enderwalker is a Disease that gives super powers like Silk Touch and Teleportation but has Memory Loss, Appearance Changes, and Auditory Hallucinations Could explain why Endermen get Angry when you look at them, because they are paranoid
Holy sh*t! This is the first video i watch from you and the way you present the content is just incredible, you kept me entertained all the way through to the point that i didn't notice it was 36 minutes long untill the video ended. The music choice for each part is the best and sets the mood perfectly, the editing is just impecable, and overall this is just so well made. Its so difficult to find creators with content this well made, and it makes me sad to see that when i find one, they are almost criminally underrated. Keep up this amazing work, i am excited to see what bangers you'll make next edit: just back here because you just hit 200 subs, congratulations!
And song 10 is Jonathan Groff's song "You'll Be Back" which was made for, you guessed it, HAMILTON! And, Early L'manberg was partially a Hamilton reference. Ranboo used to live in L'manberg. Hamilton was shot by a gun. Ranboo's first death (which this one was not canon) was him getting shot by a gun. Who shot him? Dream. Dream is the villain of the Dream SMP. And Aaron Burr is the villain of Hamilton. And I do not know where this is going. at all.
I have a few updates about the Enderwalk Arg so far :D 1. Ranboo has done 1 lore stream so far and chances are we might get another one, but Ranboo said he'll do lore if something big happens in the SMP 2. New info shown in the lore stream, Ranboo sees "lessons" pop up in is vision, he dosen't know what they mean but seems that there are more than one lesson. Another event he tries to convince Sam to put him in prison but refuses and tells Ranboo he has done nothing wrong, when Ranboo tries to tell him he blew up the community house he's quickly silenced, unable to tell him what he's done. Finally, he thinks there is one person that could give him answers about the "lessons", he goes to his house creates a water splash potion and says the person that could give him answers was himself and splashes himself with water and ends on a black screen with ender noises and the purple smile at the end 3. Z has recently tweeted 3 tweets regarding to Ranboo and what Ranboo has been doing the past days 4. We've been introduced to another place in Tales from the SMP called the Other Side which is a giant black castle and everything there is all black 5. Its been shown in the last Tales from the SMP stream that the Inbetween is shown as a place of some danger 6. Word from Karl is that both him and Ranboo are working together on some lore and that some theories the fans have about Tales from the SMP and maybe c!Karl himself will become canon feel free to add more things! :)
ranboo also created a experimentation room in a stronghold during a stream. he said it's so he can try to enhance his enderman abilities and learn more about the enderwalk. but in a recent semi-lore stream of him building an 'end city', a particle asks him about the experimentation room, and he doesn't seem to remember the room, saying, 'what's that?'. also, when he was building his end city, he used cobblestone. the particles kept asking him to use sandstone (to resemble end city's more), but he insisted on using cobblestone. on twitter, some people pointed out that cobblestone looks like end stone to enderman, as their sight is different to humans. and he was building a tower from an end city, which shows he must be retrieving memories from his origin, despite not knowing what and end city is or what the end is in general. this also made me think of something just now as i'm typing this, but supporting the theory of c!ranboo and c!dream being connected, what if ranboo is also connected to dreamXD in some way? i know that dreamXD doesn't want anyone going to the end because it will make them srsly overpowered, but what if it's for another reason as well? maybe the end and how ranboo was created is connected to it? that probably doesn't have anything to do with lore, but my previous points seem pretty important
the messages on tubbo’s stream somewhat resemble the books that karl would find in the inbetween. some of them told him (tubbo) to go north and others were telling him it was unsafe, as if they were from different people.
i think Z is michael so we know that karl can time travel,and ranboo is connected to it so my theory is that ranboo time traveled and saw michaels book (probably its diary or something like that).in future kinda grown michael is trying to help ranboo with his ender walking.
22:35 there is no leader, yes techno is more prevalent then the others in terms of anarchy but he is just the recruiter, thats his only "power" within the syndicate
What I love with this is that you have all these stories on the SMP, you have these adjacent stories with Karl's Tales of the SMP, the ARG, and more meta parts of the lore that take place outside of the Server. You have so many characters, so many secrets between the different voices, hidden text, off-stream lore, and lore hidden in other character's stories/streams. All of this makes it so whichever corner of the SMP you are invested in only feels like a small part, even though it can tell a complete story. It also makes it hard to figure out what is important to who, and if there might be clues with two separate solutions; depending on which perspective your looking from. Its a unique form of story telling that is still expanding and I just find it all fascinating.
Literally never heard of this until now, but I’m super intrigued. Tysm for making this!! Also it just crossed my mind that what started as roleplaying in a block game about literally anything just blocks now has a year’s worth of lore and is just starting an arg that is entwined with said lore and happening simultaneously.. Yk, the internet is pretty cool.
Hello I was just revisiting this video and wanted to say you're great at making videos & I'd love to see you make more, whether it be dream smp or anything else. I need more video essay style videos like this!!
To be honest, I can kinda relate to the enderwalk thing. Not really in such a deep way as the story actually is, but still a little, and I also sometimes get very specific vibes. I have memory issues as well, probably not as bad as Ranboos (or I just haven't realized how bad it is because I don't remember which would be a bit of a problem c-c), but it's still really difficult. But for... probably a few months now (? Yeah there goes the memory) I've kinda learned to trust myself a bit more. In your video, there's the part with the prison, and that really reminded me of a phase in my life when I realized that I don't really remember things. It's scrary as hell, and it kinda swings between "It's fine, you know what to do, you can do this" and simply completely in panic "help". Though it did get a bit better as I've learned how to cope a little, similarly to Ranboo and his book. I try to copy his strategy a bit (I have a program called OneNote synchronized on all my electronic devices, and I use it similar to how he uses his memory book) , but I just started that recently, and it's hard to keep up. But my main coping strategy is to just trust myself. I don't know when or how I started thinking like this, but I just learned to trust that I make the right decisions. (Now that I try to explain it it sounds stupid, I don't even know how to make decisions... the more I try the more chaotic it gets. And sorry for the mess that this comment is, but thanks if you read this far!) It's a bit of a mix of constant conscious trust and autopiloting decisions (Maybe that makes sense? I conciously trust my autopilot?) That's what the part right after the prison reminded me of, with the book of the enderwalk. He still created a book to write down what he did, probably unconciously, and maybe he can base a strategy on that, so his enderwalk self will write in that book. So he can trust himself and rely on the book, even when his memory fails him. He'd just have to learn to unconciously autopilot and use the book in his enderwalk state and then to trust that he actually does that. I know that it's just a story, the base of the lore is probably already there, and the enderwalk might now work like real life memory loss (like if he is completely under someone elses contol, he can't write stuff down if the controlling person doesn't tell him to, or maybe he still has that freedom and is just partially controlled, or not at all, I don't really remember if we're supposed to know that or not, sorry for the rambling!), but I still believe that this could work, especially if he's started the enderwalk book. He just needs access to it to connect his conscious self and his enderwalk self. Uhm... I tried to make a point (probably more like three or so thoughout writing), but it's really hard to write right now since my brain apparently thinks "oh, information?" *delete* is a good idea. So I hope you understood, but if it wasn't logical and you like the theory (or whatever it's supposed to be) just ask! ^^ And sorry for the grammar/spelling, I definitely remember asking myself how to spell conscious every time I wrote it... But hopefully the autopilot me made the same logical decision every time. XD
The writing on Tubbo stream is like the people writing in the books inside the in between. There are two ‘things’ writing and they both disagree with each other just like the writing
If you listen to the song Archaeopteryx you can hear the ticking when the music starts, or when he starts singing. Like in the tales of the smp, Ranboo stares at the clock, or maybe at his stream where a clock was ticking. Tick, tock, tick, tock.
What if the "person" sending the messages is talking directly to michael? If that were the case, how would it intertwine with tubbo? It seems as if he doesn't notice them so perhaps it's a distant voice and this voice is also talking to micheal so that means both micheal and tubbo can hear it.
Just a suggestion: put the sounds into the Spectrogram, there is a chance that there is some hidden information there. Also I might be wrong but the dream face that shows at the end of Ranboos streams is suspiciously appearing and disappearing... Like in Morse code perhaps? I mean, I might be wrong but in ARG nothing is random. Small details matter.
When I saw the "I'm cold" overlay message, I immediately thought of Wilbur's ARG from 2 years ago. I know this has nothing to do with the Dream SMP, but thought it'd be a cool reference lol
BABY HOTLINE 4:51 BABY HOTLINE I REPEAT BABY HOTLINE PLAYLIST :TRAVELING BABY HOTLINE IS. 4:51 I TRY LOOK FOR MORE EVEDINCE IN LYCRIS BUT JUST THOUGHT I SHOULD SHARE THAT-
with the whole karl and ranboo connection, i think it's important to note that we also dont know who is controlling the in between or the other side,, i think its not out of the realm of possibility that dream controls the in between, and when karl is time traveling or in the in between, dream is somehow able to control ranboo? which could explain why the in between is so desperate for karl to stay there and not go to the other side, an all black dimension that karl goes to when he escapes the in between. the all black dimension could be the enderman half of ranboo, in which case dream is unable to control ranboo at all. so far we have no established pattern for when ranboo goes into this enderwalk state and for what purpose he goes into the enderwalk state. it could be that dream controls him any time he can just for the fun of it or that he controls ranboo at specific times for specific reasons or a combination of the two...idk this stuff is so complex and interconnected,, its insane that so much has been caught so far bc of how cryptic everything is,, but honestly anything is possible--dream could be controlling ranboo through karl or he could be not connected to karl at all (doubtful in my opinion)
also, i like to think that maybe ranboo is controlling the other side, while dream controls the in between,, meaning that ranboo is trying to help karl escape dream's manipulation somehow in this other dimension--i have no guesses as to how conscious ranboo is of this entire interaction bc he could honestly be actively trying to help karl and aware of everything or completely unaware and its happening in his subconscious or in an altered state of consciousness

Karl's whole lore involves him being torn between two forces. The text on Tubbo's streams are two voices arguing about something (nukes?). Ranboo's whole character is split into halves. Interesting.
Maybe The tubbo text is ifaiker and his son R.faiker talking, wilbur soot's old arg personality since R.faiker was always complaining about being cold and most of his words were "I'm cold" and ifaiker was very formal and good minded but still always looked like he was cold
@@CALndStuff That is a good idea, but doesn't that more accurately connect to c/Wilbur and ghostbur (ghostbur being the calm one, who dies in the end, is forgetful and does not remember bad things, and c/Wilbur is the angry one with trauma)
They are also the same soul, like in the explanation of red herring.
you just made me remember that tubbo is still missing a nuke ; who only told Foolish.
So maybe Tubbo and Karl had eachother's personalities and souls split in half to create Ranboo's personality. Before you ask, dunno how it works but yeah.

tubbos stream words: “i’m cold”
me: *flashbacks from the wilbur arg*
My exact thoughts
Wait a minute, I recognise the song at around 5:20 that has ticking sounds in the background. It's the theme song from Black Friday, a musical from Starkids, which is about a cosmic entity called Mr. Wiggly trying to invade everybody's minds and cause widescale chaos. Maybe Ranboo is referencing the fact that Dream is trying to invade his mind?
Another thing to add is that when Sapnap sent Ranboo the smiley face, Ranboo seemed to had entered his enderwalk, would it mean that the smiley face is some sort of trigger word that turns him into a brainwashed spy (like Bucky the Winter Soldier) that Dream uses to take control of Ranboo?
The last thing I wanted to point out is that if the time travel link is true, maybe the messages that appear on Tubbo's streams are warnings that future Tubbo (or Ranboo) is sending back in time (cause the texts mentioned Michael). There seems to be 2 or more people sending the texts considering the messages contradict each other at times (the go north/dont go north bit), meaning that maybe Tubbo would also be controlled? Fundy had also received warnings from the future in his dreams so that is quite possible.
It's very similar, but it's not that. Nice catch though.
starkid my beloved
Yeah, it's literally the outro to "What if tomorrow comes" on loop.
I was hoping someone else recognized it! Yup it's the 26 second long song prologue from the black Friday musical album by starkid
i feel like the star kid reference could def be true. we know that ranboo likes starkid, he’s talked about it ooc before soOO
"other people think this is a reference to farenheit 451" it's me, i'm people. I read that entire book for the arg and found that it had themes similar to ranboo's character lore and ended up sharing my findings with general 1
In Karl’s latest tales from the smp, he went to a place called ‘The other side,’ where everything is black. Karl becomes darker. This could be the other side of Ranboo. It matches with both of Karl’s dimensions in time travelling.
yeah it could be becouse there is theory that one of ranboos sides is his acual self (witch i think is the enderman half but some people think its the other half) and the other is just something like a parasite that has invaded ranboos body and that it might have something to do with the enderwalks. colors are pretty important on the smp so ill make sure to note about the inbetween and the other side and how its connected to ranboo.
So it could be that when Karl time travels, he goes through Ranboo’s head somehow, messing with both Karla memory, and Ranboo’s memory…
32:30 someone is in Michaels room.. Cake is in Michaels room, the mysterious messages mention cake and also say Michaels name, and why does ranboo want to protect his family, there hasn't been any threat to his family.. It may be normal to dad's idk but maybe he has seen the person in Michaels room, but never wrote it down or remembered it and he just wants to protect his family from that person?
i know, the reference to Michael is so interesting!!
The cake has become sentient!
I feel like "Find the Pages"

Ranboo’s lore is kinda scary. And mind twisting. And his role playing is different I love it!
honestly its really cool to see the whole story so far in video format instead of getting the normal small clips and teasers
yay im so glad!
yea
adding on to the “karl and ranboo might be connected” theory. dream said everything in the smp is going to connect into ONE BIG thing. so all the lore is going to come together. and i think we can already see bits of the lore being connected to other lore. amazing video btw!!!!
HOLD ON. One of the main themes for Wilbur’s ARG was “I’m Cold”
The text on Tubbo’s screen could be from Wilbur and R. Faiker(before he died).
If this is true then this links alot and reveals timeline's aswell
I am glad you put the avengers music over everyone coming through the portal to arrest dream, I am pretty sure everyone heard that in their heads when it happened.
This is so well made!
thank you so much!!! I hope after a month of editing it would be (⁎˃ᆺ˂)
You are doing a community service here. Absolute legend
This is connecting to the Karl theory.
So at the end of Karl's "in-between" stream, he goes through the portal which makes him forget his friends and family, obviously the in-between (disguised as good) trying to put him off. But Karl decides to enter the portal anyways.
When Karl enters the portal instead of being transported to the real world/Dream SMP server he is transferred to "the otherside."
Many people believe that the in between is actually the side were you do not want to be and that the other side, although because of its dark colours, is the place you want to be.
Now if you take a look at ranboo he is half black, half desaturated white.
The inbetween is desaturated white, the otherside is black/red.
Now, if you look at a traffic like, green is for go and red is for stop.
On the desaturated white side of ranboo, his eye seems to be red/dark pink.
On the black/desaturated grey side of ranboo his eye seems to be green.
Now the otherside doesn't cause memory loss as the inbetween does.
Maybe ranboo is connected to the inbetween AND the other side or what if the inbetween and otherside was at war and the inbetween and otherside combined themselves (creating ranboo) to keep civilization between the two.
late but this is really interesting considering that many people think one of ranboos sides is his acual self and the other is something like a parasite that has inviaded him. this has further evidence from a jackbox stream where i think wilbur said something along the lines of if ranboo dies in the smp to whitch ranboo resopns "if i died wouldent i just be boo/ran" sorry i cant remember if he said boo or ran but i think you get the jist. sorry but i really wanted to point this out
wow, this was so well put together! i'm behind on ranboo lore, so this was really helpful. didn't even know about the arg, but now i'm fascinated!
AGGGG im so glad!
Did anyone realise how *underrated* this is? Sure, it is a few months old and there's plenty new lore and information about Ranboos character, but seriously *this* is what I call real effort! I'm just mindblown!
Okay, yes the ranboo arg is awesome, but can I talk about how well you made this video?! I can’t currently watch it, but your introduction to the video literally made me gasp. I’m excited to watch this as if I’m waiting for a movie to come out of theaters.
22:13 gotta love the small break in summary for some Micheal appreciation
it was important to the narrative of the video
@@esmewhey oh of course
that smile will forever give me chills and make me want to cry
Same..
omg im coming back to this video after a year and you NEED to continue this!! the latest ranboo and tales lore connects so much to karl and ranboo! and the messages on tubbo's stream seem to connect to ghostboo/ranboo's limbo
32:34 i cannot see the words “i’m cold” normally anymore after the wilbur ARG like two years ago
This is better than like 16 other summary videos I’ve seen
I just looked it up cause I was curious but evidently the name of ranboo in tales of the Smp episode 6 was named Zachary starting with a Z. This was one of the two tales of the Smp’s that take place during present day. Maybe Zachary has something to do with it
"I'm cold" reminds me of the Wilbur ARG... Maybe that gets continued in the Dream SMP as well?
Random thought, so it has literally no ground at all, but what if Z is Ranboo’s enderwalking state?
many people also think that
it kinda sounds like wilbur’s arg. wilbur repeats or one of the fakier’s repeat, i am cold
Plus we have never solved that arg
I've seen some of these evidence like the iron one in the inventory I thought it was weird but I didn't know this was going on in the background to be honest and I've seen clips of the words on tubbos stream but I was not actually there this video helped a lot thanks :)
that;s what i wanted to do ^-^
The escape room analogy is probably the best way I’ve heard to explain ARGs. When people ask what it is I always see people writing paragraphs trying to explain what ARGs are and how they work, but they just end up making the person more confused.
yeah it was the best comparison i could think of for someone new. there’s not a lot of things similar to an arg if you’ve never been a part of one before 😅
I expected to be some really popular UA-cam HOW ARE YOU THIS UNDERATED
i honestly didnt know there was an arg happening. you got me hooked into this story, this is incredible. also i appreciate the editing, the zooming in on the letters and stuff, must have took you hours. i hope you get like a million views soon, you deserve it!!
Theory: the tubbo overlays are ranboo’s two sides
Oh God we have another arg with the "I am cold" line these people need blankets jackets tea etc okay what I get is people in the dream smp are always cold
I just- this is amazing. Dude, this is SUPER underrated for its quality, I'm just in awe. Legit freaking killed it. Just 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000/10.
The other half of Ranboo is definitely related to the Karl lore because time is involved with the ranboo arg there are also books written by an unknown person as a guide to the in between. I think his other half may be a ghast because it does resemble one . The ghast part may be related to tnt since ghast shoot out explosions or fire balls. So maybe he was “ghastwalking” if he created the books from the in between. If anyone wants to back up this theory please reply!
I don’t really follow the ranboo and Karl lore so this theory is probably false
he dis confirm it isnt half ghast in the lore
@@DarkAngel1117_ ok thx
wait
what if the smile face makes him think of dream and puts him in his mind control / ender walk phase?
The tubbo messages are wilburs old arg self when he edited for jacksucksatlife or maybe ghostbur talking to him but it's probably the old arg since the old arg wilbur constantly was either very formal or very child like those were two different people when wearing glasses he was formal and otherwise he was really irratic and was constantly talking about being cold
the smile could be a trigger to activate the enderwalking state, he walks off silently (almost like he's going into ederwalking state) because of the message ':)' from dream via sapnap,, idk just a thought
I'm so happy you made this, as well as complied sources and links! This'll hopefully make things easier and make the arg more popular.
Idea I had while watching; it could be a possibility that Ranboo could be Z and it hasn't been explored alot I feel. Z seems to be some kind of scientist who was researching enderwalking, so it wouldn't be to far fetched that they were researching how one becomes infected. What of through research he infects himself with what causes enderwalking, resulting in memory loss of both the research and any previous life relations. This would bring us to the more well known ranboo, and the past ranboo who may have originally knew dream. Dream has mentioned he knew ranboo before others did and was once friends even though we've never seen this. So I propose that we are working with two ranboos currently; one is the ranboo we know and see on streams, and the other is the original scientist who's friends with dream and talks to/takes over the more familiar Ranboo(I'm mainly saying this because if dream was really able to mind control he'd do it more).
wow this is acutally a really cool theory! in a recent stream, ranboo creates a lab in a stronghold to try to enhance his enderman abilities and learn more about the enderwalk. if this theory is true, this could mean that his scientist past self is becoming more prominent or was in control of ranboo
i have a theory that the dream voice in ranboo's head could be Z. i feel like dream has another clone of him, which could be why the voice sounds a lot like dream. Z is trying to figure out more about enderwalking, and dream seems to know how to switch ranboo into his enderwalk stage. it could be possible that Z is somehow connected to dream, which is why dream knows how to switch ranboo to the enderwalk stage. Z might've found out how to turn the enderwalk stage on and off, and they told dream. i find it kind of weird how dream knows how to make ranboo go into his enderwalk stage, but it would make sense if Z somehow told dream about the enderwalk stage which could connect them somehow. if Z and dream dont know each other then its possible that dream has read the pages that Z had, which is why dream knows a few things about enderwalk but im not sure. it could be possible that dream and Z are related but i dont have much evidence to prove that.
What if the revive book is also from Z? I mean, there's not many other research characters currently and Z is already doing research and writing it down. Nothing solid, but I think that'd be cool.
@@neroquin i do think that Z may have written the revival book, since it seems that Z has/had been alive before Dream or Schlatt got a hold of it. Z is the only one that is writing things down based on his research which would explain why some of the pages that are found are in a random order and its messed up.
@@nicnicjuice whos z?
I have been looking for someone who has all the dsmp streams in one place omg tysm
What if Ranboos other half has something similar to the ender walk where instead of staying in the SMP he time travels and that’s how he’s trapped in the cave and trying to warn ranboo
So Enderwalker is a Disease that gives super powers like Silk Touch and Teleportation but has Memory Loss, Appearance Changes, and Auditory Hallucinations
Could explain why Endermen get Angry when you look at them, because they are paranoid
Been wanting to get into ranboo’s videos and stuff cause all my friends love him so ty!!
glad I could help!!
the “I am cold” is bringing memories lmao
He really did black friday. He really had to put my favorite musical into his arg. That is wonderful yes.
Holy sh*t!
This is the first video i watch from you and the way you present the content is just incredible, you kept me entertained all the way through to the point that i didn't notice it was 36 minutes long untill the video ended.
The music choice for each part is the best and sets the mood perfectly, the editing is just impecable, and overall this is just so well made.
Its so difficult to find creators with content this well made, and it makes me sad to see that when i find one, they are almost criminally underrated.
Keep up this amazing work, i am excited to see what bangers you'll make next
edit: just back here because you just hit 200 subs, congratulations!
THIS IS SO NICE THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'm glad you enjoyed the music ^-^
And song 10 is Jonathan Groff's song "You'll Be Back" which was made for, you guessed it, HAMILTON! And, Early L'manberg was partially a Hamilton reference. Ranboo used to live in L'manberg. Hamilton was shot by a gun. Ranboo's first death (which this one was not canon) was him getting shot by a gun. Who shot him? Dream. Dream is the villain of the Dream SMP. And Aaron Burr is the villain of Hamilton. And I do not know where this is going. at all.
You are too underrated ! This is so well made !
thank you!!
I have a few updates about the Enderwalk Arg so far :D
1. Ranboo has done 1 lore stream so far and chances are we might get another one, but Ranboo said he'll do lore if something big happens in the SMP
2. New info shown in the lore stream, Ranboo sees "lessons" pop up in is vision, he dosen't know what they mean but seems that there are more than one lesson. Another event he tries to convince Sam to put him in prison but refuses and tells Ranboo he has done nothing wrong, when Ranboo tries to tell him he blew up the community house he's quickly silenced, unable to tell him what he's done. Finally, he thinks there is one person that could give him answers about the "lessons", he goes to his house creates a water splash potion and says the person that could give him answers was himself and splashes himself with water and ends on a black screen with ender noises and the purple smile at the end
3. Z has recently tweeted 3 tweets regarding to Ranboo and what Ranboo has been doing the past days
4. We've been introduced to another place in Tales from the SMP called the Other Side which is a giant black castle and everything there is all black
5. Its been shown in the last Tales from the SMP stream that the Inbetween is shown as a place of some danger
6. Word from Karl is that both him and Ranboo are working together on some lore and that some theories the fans have about Tales from the SMP and maybe c!Karl himself will become canon
feel free to add more things! :)
ranboo also created a experimentation room in a stronghold during a stream. he said it's so he can try to enhance his enderman abilities and learn more about the enderwalk. but in a recent semi-lore stream of him building an 'end city', a particle asks him about the experimentation room, and he doesn't seem to remember the room, saying, 'what's that?'. also, when he was building his end city, he used cobblestone. the particles kept asking him to use sandstone (to resemble end city's more), but he insisted on using cobblestone. on twitter, some people pointed out that cobblestone looks like end stone to enderman, as their sight is different to humans. and he was building a tower from an end city, which shows he must be retrieving memories from his origin, despite not knowing what and end city is or what the end is in general. this also made me think of something just now as i'm typing this, but supporting the theory of c!ranboo and c!dream being connected, what if ranboo is also connected to dreamXD in some way? i know that dreamXD doesn't want anyone going to the end because it will make them srsly overpowered, but what if it's for another reason as well? maybe the end and how ranboo was created is connected to it? that probably doesn't have anything to do with lore, but my previous points seem pretty important
soooo
ranboo's half enderman, half creature of the in between?
i guess that makes sense
better than the theories that ranboo's half ghast
Wow, this person is seriously underrated
0:29
Me: Fallen down! I love this song!
Me again: oh, it's fallen down...
the messages on tubbo’s stream somewhat resemble the books that karl would find in the inbetween. some of them told him (tubbo) to go north and others were telling him it was unsafe, as if they were from different people.
i think Z is michael
so we know that karl can time travel,and ranboo is connected to it so my theory is that ranboo time traveled and saw michaels book (probably its diary or something like that).in future kinda grown michael is trying to help ranboo with his ender walking.
22:35 there is no leader, yes techno is more prevalent then the others in terms of anarchy but he is just the recruiter, thats his only "power" within the syndicate
What I love with this is that you have all these stories on the SMP, you have these adjacent stories with Karl's Tales of the SMP, the ARG, and more meta parts of the lore that take place outside of the Server. You have so many characters, so many secrets between the different voices, hidden text, off-stream lore, and lore hidden in other character's stories/streams.
All of this makes it so whichever corner of the SMP you are invested in only feels like a small part, even though it can tell a complete story. It also makes it hard to figure out what is important to who, and if there might be clues with two separate solutions; depending on which perspective your looking from. Its a unique form of story telling that is still expanding and I just find it all fascinating.
The third song is from the musical black Friday from starkid I believe
yeah it is
I've never subbed based on a single video ever until now. Great hecking job on this beautiful documentation and idea-sparker!
high praise thank you so much!!
New Lore in the smp: ranboo splashed himself with water and go's into the ender walk
Literally never heard of this until now, but I’m super intrigued. Tysm for making this!!
Also it just crossed my mind that what started as roleplaying in a block game about literally anything just blocks now has a year’s worth of lore and is just starting an arg that is entwined with said lore and happening simultaneously..
Yk, the internet is pretty cool.
When you mentioned 'Im cold' it made me remember Wilbur's old arg
Hello I was just revisiting this video and wanted to say you're great at making videos & I'd love to see you make more, whether it be dream smp or anything else. I need more video essay style videos like this!!
you're too kind!! omg I would also love to make more videos like this :D
27:22
From this scene I now have a theory. The “ :)” is what sets off his enderwalk?
The :) made him leave straight away.
im so happy im not the only one that recognized the "I'm cold" since its also in the wilbur arg. might be an easter egg or a coincidence tho.
32:30 im cold.
*remembers wilburs ARG*
To be honest, I can kinda relate to the enderwalk thing. Not really in such a deep way as the story actually is, but still a little, and I also sometimes get very specific vibes. I have memory issues as well, probably not as bad as Ranboos (or I just haven't realized how bad it is because I don't remember which would be a bit of a problem c-c), but it's still really difficult. But for... probably a few months now (? Yeah there goes the memory) I've kinda learned to trust myself a bit more. In your video, there's the part with the prison, and that really reminded me of a phase in my life when I realized that I don't really remember things. It's scrary as hell, and it kinda swings between "It's fine, you know what to do, you can do this" and simply completely in panic "help". Though it did get a bit better as I've learned how to cope a little, similarly to Ranboo and his book. I try to copy his strategy a bit (I have a program called OneNote synchronized on all my electronic devices, and I use it similar to how he uses his memory book) , but I just started that recently, and it's hard to keep up. But my main coping strategy is to just trust myself. I don't know when or how I started thinking like this, but I just learned to trust that I make the right decisions. (Now that I try to explain it it sounds stupid, I don't even know how to make decisions... the more I try the more chaotic it gets. And sorry for the mess that this comment is, but thanks if you read this far!) It's a bit of a mix of constant conscious trust and autopiloting decisions (Maybe that makes sense? I conciously trust my autopilot?) That's what the part right after the prison reminded me of, with the book of the enderwalk. He still created a book to write down what he did, probably unconciously, and maybe he can base a strategy on that, so his enderwalk self will write in that book. So he can trust himself and rely on the book, even when his memory fails him. He'd just have to learn to unconciously autopilot and use the book in his enderwalk state and then to trust that he actually does that. I know that it's just a story, the base of the lore is probably already there, and the enderwalk might now work like real life memory loss (like if he is completely under someone elses contol, he can't write stuff down if the controlling person doesn't tell him to, or maybe he still has that freedom and is just partially controlled, or not at all, I don't really remember if we're supposed to know that or not, sorry for the rambling!), but I still believe that this could work, especially if he's started the enderwalk book. He just needs access to it to connect his conscious self and his enderwalk self.
Uhm... I tried to make a point (probably more like three or so thoughout writing), but it's really hard to write right now since my brain apparently thinks "oh, information?" *delete* is a good idea. So I hope you understood, but if it wasn't logical and you like the theory (or whatever it's supposed to be) just ask! ^^
And sorry for the grammar/spelling, I definitely remember asking myself how to spell conscious every time I wrote it... But hopefully the autopilot me made the same logical decision every time. XD
Ur so underrated omg
The clock it makes a spiral shape its about karl, karl can time travel and the spiral is identical to the one on his skin
The writing on Tubbo stream is like the people writing in the books inside the in between. There are two ‘things’ writing and they both disagree with each other just like the writing
If you listen to the song Archaeopteryx you can hear the ticking when the music starts, or when he starts singing. Like in the tales of the smp, Ranboo stares at the clock, or maybe at his stream where a clock was ticking. Tick, tock, tick, tock.
What if the "person" sending the messages is talking directly to michael? If that were the case, how would it intertwine with tubbo? It seems as if he doesn't notice them so perhaps it's a distant voice and this voice is also talking to micheal so that means both micheal and tubbo can hear it.
"fallen down" makes me feel cold
-r faiker
The story is either a meme or critical to the dsmp
I look forward to the end
I love ranboos spotify picture. I was just watching the video on a very serious bit and I found myself laughing at his account picture.
Just a suggestion: put the sounds into the Spectrogram, there is a chance that there is some hidden information there.
Also I might be wrong but the dream face that shows at the end of Ranboos streams is suspiciously appearing and disappearing... Like in Morse code perhaps?
I mean, I might be wrong but in ARG nothing is random. Small details matter.
Also another thing you missed is the morsecode with the dream's and ranboo's logo and it translates to IT ISN'T OVER
33:20 "I hate it here"
Ranboo what have you been doing...
I heard the words im cold and i instantly knew this could be linked to wilber, especially since they're both dsmp members
32:24 anyone else saw the ”im cold” and went ”Wilbur arg” (well he said “im so cold” bur its close)
When I saw the "I'm cold" overlay message, I immediately thought of Wilbur's ARG from 2 years ago. I know this has nothing to do with the Dream SMP, but thought it'd be a cool reference lol
the song at 5:08 sounds like the beginning of Black Friday the musical(made by starkid, which hes a fan of).
The I am cold that came up on Tubbos stream reminds me of wilburs ARG.
POV: you spent way too much time reading documents on an rp
shhhhhhh
BABY HOTLINE 4:51 BABY HOTLINE I REPEAT BABY HOTLINE PLAYLIST :TRAVELING
BABY HOTLINE IS. 4:51 I TRY LOOK FOR MORE EVEDINCE IN LYCRIS BUT JUST THOUGHT I SHOULD SHARE THAT-
27:57
Does the flashing of Dream's logo/face link to morse code? It's flashing in a strange pattern/order, which made me wonder if it was.
Maybe? Good theory! However I don’t know morse code 🥲
with the whole karl and ranboo connection, i think it's important to note that we also dont know who is controlling the in between or the other side,, i think its not out of the realm of possibility that dream controls the in between, and when karl is time traveling or in the in between, dream is somehow able to control ranboo? which could explain why the in between is so desperate for karl to stay there and not go to the other side, an all black dimension that karl goes to when he escapes the in between. the all black dimension could be the enderman half of ranboo, in which case dream is unable to control ranboo at all. so far we have no established pattern for when ranboo goes into this enderwalk state and for what purpose he goes into the enderwalk state. it could be that dream controls him any time he can just for the fun of it or that he controls ranboo at specific times for specific reasons or a combination of the two...idk this stuff is so complex and interconnected,, its insane that so much has been caught so far bc of how cryptic everything is,, but honestly anything is possible--dream could be controlling ranboo through karl or he could be not connected to karl at all (doubtful in my opinion)
also, i like to think that maybe ranboo is controlling the other side, while dream controls the in between,, meaning that ranboo is trying to help karl escape dream's manipulation somehow in this other dimension--i have no guesses as to how conscious ranboo is of this entire interaction bc he could honestly be actively trying to help karl and aware of everything or completely unaware and its happening in his subconscious or in an altered state of consciousness
When the lore continues a bit more you should make a part 2
This is incredible - you’ve summarized so much info so well!
thank you so much! I tried my best :P
this is so good !!
thank you
"im cold" in the tubbo overlays was a very important part of the wlbur soot arg a few years ago
