I just realized that Mystery’s shadow gets a new tail every time his soul is damaged, in “Ghost” he had 6 tails, here after Vivi got slashed he had 8 tails, and after Shirimori died he had 9
Considering Vivi is using a baseball bat and we see her "heart" fly away from her body after its smashed in two. Its possible Shirimori is still alive.
The number of tails in folk lore usually means an older and more powerful kitsune, although Mystery is probably older than he looks Also Arthur’s arm possession made a comeback
Well the thing is that apparently kitsunes get godlike power from having 9 tails, so I’m thinking that most of that power is from mystery himself, and some of it is from Author’s cursed arm.

@@lera4444 Where? I'd like to see the sneak preview! It's good to know the project isn't dead. I'd love to see them get a real series or movie, beyond just music videos.
2 years ago, when Hellbent was just released, I recall someone saying "See you all in 2 years for the next one". That made an impression me, so now I want to say the same to you all See you all in 2 years, everyone
Usually I have a weird way of subconsciously predicting when old projects get a new episode. Going back and rewatching a series only to find out the new one gets announced like a day later Well tonight I randomly remembered this series was a thing and rewatched the whole thing, god I still love it front to back. Here's hoping I've done it again!
My comment from 3 yrs ago got no traction ;u;; So I'm gonna slap it right here lol If you look of the title of each animation •Ghost • Freaking Out • Hellbent • Future *•Fantasy•* would go hard as the next one
This doesn't look like indie animation at all. Holy shit. Cheers to everyone who worked in this episode. You really are amazing at this. I loved every part of it.
You know what else is perfect? at 2:36 if you pause just right, both Arthur and Lewis have their eyes do the "pointed bug out" thing that has become a staple of these vids XD
You make a good point! That reminds me of 'Ghost'. Where Vivi also technically touched the heart, and thus maybe that's how Lewis first started truly going after the gang. (It's not like he was doing a whole lot of chasing and or looking for them before their van decided to give out in front of the Ghost manor.) And it's clearly shown in 'Hellbent' that Arthur was (and had been, for some time) looking for Lewis. One could say that Lewis in '👻' had no "true" memories from before he became what he is now, and only started truly obsessing AFTER Giving had first grabbed onto (and then made to drop) the heart/locket. ... I could also just be thinking too much into it. Eh, that's just my thoughts on this.
Lewis: Don't kill the old man. Don't kill the old man. He's just an old man, don't kill the old man. *[Gets shot]* Lewis: YOU'RE MAKING THIS REALLY HARD FOR ME
It looked like that last shot actually hurt him, it landed where his heart was before it was shot off. The others just phased through him but that one knocked him back and actually left a "wound"
@@hanakoisbestgirl4752 I think it's one of those things with certain undead that they do in fact have a weak spot, but all it really does is stun them and piss them off as it can't actually kill them. Now if that shotgun had any magical or supernatural properties, Lewis would probably have done more then flinch. Same goes for the howl causing Lewis to react in pain. It wasn't the howl that hurt, it was the massive amount of supernatural energy that Envy caused Mystery to discharge during the possession. Arthur's arm even reacted to it because part of that power surge was from Envy as well while Envy is still technically part of him.
I actually noticed that for a long portion of time when she goes up to mystery and tried to smother his wound with her scarf, she doesn’t head bop at all
everyone: starts fighting each other Mystery: heart literally breaks from everyone being hurt. That demon in Arthur's arm: oh yeah it's all coming together.
@@werecordrandomjunk5303 if u did not watch the others, when you die or parts of you die like a arm or a leg or even if you just die you reanimate. Since the dog is dead, the dog itself has been reanimated, and they guy that had the metal hand, had his hand chopped of (duh) but his hand roams. Now since the dog is dead, im thinking that the arm will takeover the dog or comeback. Or my mans with the robo arm will go crazy again
@@gamingcrusader141 | You should specify that's just a theory. I figured our pupper is some sort of Japanese spirit or at least the reincarnation of one. No evidence that he's undead. We also saw the green possessing force briefly bat-shaped in the very first video (in the flashback cave), although that may have simply been another body it was borrowing...
@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth i said that because now the dog turned green and black, the hand was green and also the bat. Now the color might be a useless thing but his arm is green and it was chopped off. Meaning his arm is dead but it still roams. (Also i should of said it was a theory....)
I wanted to point out a nice detail. I love that if you look at Shiromori right after she has to knock Mystery, the kitsune, away from her in self defense, she has tears in the corners of her eyes when she turns around. This shows how much she hated that she had done that, and then after Vivi had obliterated Shiromori, and only her trunk remanded, Mystery looks horrified that his (friend...?) Was dead. I wonder what kind of relationship they had in the past
Basically shiromori It was a flower to which mystery gave his blood, it grew enough to become a forest fed by mystery's blood (perhaps enough to become conscious) This can be seen in the images seen on hellbent
@@kailevil3444Potentially. It depends on if the heart acted like a regular heart or soul jar of sorts, like Lewis' does. Either way, I think they have other priorities right now.
@@Nintendon85 I suspect it was just Knocked Into Next Week (as mentioned, it looks intact), but it got thrown entirely out of her tree-body, so she's going to have to spend a LOT of Oomph to grow a new one and then get back to The Action. Also, in Hellbent, she's shown to 'fast travel' shallow underground
Actually, his artificial arm seems to have some anti-supernatural capabilities. In "Hellbent," he whacked the dashboard of the van to get it going again after it stalled, and at the end of last episode, touching Lewis with that arm is what revealed his identity. In this one, he touched the locket and that's what revealed the full picture (literally).
@@DoctorWortspieler I think in hellbent curse that stoped the car just went from the car to his hand (since car started working, but hand went dead). It might also be the reason why it acted like this in other instances - it was filled with Lewis's magic. He made himself that arm, which might be see as special talent, but it hardly gives him any advantage since all he got is supplement for arm he lost.
This has voice acting. Welp. See yall in 4 years. Edit 12/06/2020: Stop telling me "No it's actually 2 years." I know. That's the joke. Stop ruining it.
@@breadguy2224 Well, it was nice being in the same fandom as you for a while. Take care, whichever fandom your in by then. (I honestly don't mind if you end up a furry)
Honestly that sort of made me realise that Lewis might not have all their memories and instead of revenge on his old friend he only sees it like Vivi - Girl that's important to me cause they're in my heart Arthur - THE ONE THAT MURDERED ME! Mystery - some dog. but now he's surprised to see Arthur and Mystery in his heart too like, "Wait they're important too!?"
Think about how much animation has to happen! Every frame of animation takes at least 10-20 minutes to draw and they do the smallest animations so it won't look choppy. Be grateful that they care enough about the project and fans to update us nd make the content worthwhile
So, quick guess theory: Lewis' locket reveals the heart's desire. That's why he breaks down crying when he sees how the picture changed after Arthur touched it. He realized that all Arthur wants is the 4 of them together again.
The picture changed to show all four after Arthur touched it with his mechanical arm. The mechanical arm seems to have anti-supernatural/ magic cancelling properties, which implies the picture was always of whole crew, but something tampered with the locket to only show Lewis and Vivi.
I rewatched this basically once a year. I love how rich the story telling is even without words. You probably get comments like this a lot but that’s because your work is so cool!
Arthur's robotic arm reacts with the Green Spirit ,maibe he Will be able to hold him back or even absorbing some of its strengh, maybe getting a demonic arm or something?(just by the fact of him being the first possesed one)
Arthur didn’t know that Lewis had died and Lewis didn’t know that Arthur wasn’t himself when he was pushed off the cliff, only Mystery knew the truth of what happened in that cave, due to the lack of knowledge, Lewis becomes a vengeful ghost unbeknownst to Arthur and Vivi till their “reunion” in Ghost where Vivi notices Lewis is the ghost but Arthur is too scared to see that
@@magicbeefy85 no, I think, Arthur did know that Lewis had died, he just didn't know that Lewis was the vengeful ghost pursuing them, only after her saw Lewis' face he discovered ghost's true identity
@@artemismoore4176 Arthur doesn't remember Lewis dying. He thinks he disappeared. In Freaking Out, Arthur is staying up late trying to figure out where he is.
To think this series started with a simple visit to a spooky haunted house. Now we're having full on battles with plants and a giant demonic fox that was once the team pet mascot.
First Episode: _haha, funny Scooby inspired ghost story_ Fourth episode: _Anime boss battle against three demon leaves kitsune vulnerable to possession, now Ice Swordswoman, Fire Revenant and ... erm...guy with mechanical arm need to team up and save humanity from destruction_

ashly i thank that he wunts to cherishing his friends more ater seeing the locked change reminding him that he dose not just care about one mimer of the team ball every mimer
The good: this isn't the final of the series The sad: Its a cliffhanger and we gotta wait 2 years again I'm happy that this series still continue. Been here since Ghost.
Some details about Mystery I want to note cause they were easy to miss! -In the hellbent flashback, Mystery had 9 tails. -In the start of the future, Mystery had 7 (meaning he 'lost' two some time between the flashbacks with Vivi's ancestor and the present) -Mystery gained a tail when Vivi got hurt, and another when Shiromori died. -Each of these tails seemed to correspond with a puncture to his heart, in the places that had seals/bandages. -There were already traces of ??? in Mystery even before he got wounded (his eyes turning green and the green inside his mouth as soon as Vivi got hurt)
Which means he was most likely fighting off the possession even before he got seriously wounded. My guess would be when that green, shadowy spirit that’s overhead of Mystery when he picked up the flower petal in “Freaking Out”
He also has only 6 in the Ghost flashback, which would imply he gained another one in response to That Event. Possibly even two if Arthur and Lewis counted separately the way Vivi and Shiro did.
Each puncture did represent a heartbreak for mystery, the bandaged ones are from his past. With Vivi's ancestor and Shiromori (Whom I believe is not dead yet, I hope. Since the important thing is the heart for supernatural beings, and hers was simply flung away). Recent ones might be from Arthur being possessed and Mystey having to rip his arm off, and Lewis' death at the hands of ???. The remaining punctures I am not 100% sure, the green one might also be from ???'s initial attempt to posses Mystery. As for the rest, we are still in the dark.
Lewis: Sad he died and lost the girl he loved, pissed at arthur for thinking he had killed him out of jealousy, then sad again realizing that it wasn't just vivi he loved, it was all his friends. That character development from a vengeful ghost to realizing he was wrong in what he was doing is amazing.
Funny bit of trivia. The sing your hearing at the very beginning is actually a different song called enemy. And it's for those who aren't a big fan of the animated series 'ghost guy' Lewis talking to 'yellow guy' Arthur. About could you ever imagine becoming someone I'd call your enemy. Its a short song if you want to go listen to the lyrics and how it fits in with the story as a whole. Lewis and Arthur were great friends until the incident in the cave where Arthur was possed by the evil entity which took his arm. There's a lot or story still to come
OKAY BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT VIVI AND HER ANCESTOR? THE IMAGE IN LEWIS'S HEART CHANGING? MYSTERY POSSIBLY DYING AND GETTING POSSESSED BY THE GREEN HAND THAT MOST OF US THOUGHT WAS IRRELEVANT????? BRUHHHHHHHH
Right now, I'm convinced that there's nothing that's irrelevant. I think Vivi's blood soaked scarf is going to be of importance in the next video. To revive Shirimori to fight Mystery?
Or did anyone notice that after Lewis came to Vivi her eyes went once again all glowy in form of stars..just like when she met the plant lady..her love for ghost hunting goes to a total different level...i could say a SUPERNATURAL one..i will take my leave xD
I assume that Arthur managed to get the shotgun from his uncle though, which means now, he has the most powerful ability of them all Arthur: *_S h o t g u n_*
@@cooltiger2439 Lewis is a ghost. Those don't have a body to shoot. Magic foxes are still living things with living bodies, so they can still be shot, and as Studio Ghibli has taught us, guns are overpowered as fuck when it comes to magic animals
Tbf, they said that the goal will always be “once a year”. Though, given how long their animation takes, it always gets extended to 2 years. However, one thing I’d like to point out is that their animation team increased between the time of “Hellbent” and this one (see credits of both videos) So I have full confidence that they’re going to make the one year deadline this time around. But if not, that’s okay as well.
I really like the plot for this entire series, Lewis comes to learn to forgive and that he doesn’t just love livi but he loves ALL his friends and the dog is just- in another level ig we don’t question the family dog they just quirky like that
One detail I noticed that noone else seems to have mentioned so far: When Vivi got wounded, not just did Mystery's heart start bleeding blue, he also suddendly grew an 8th tail. After Shiromori dies and he bleeds white, his possessed form had 9 tails. Additionally, his ninetails form in Ghost had 6 tails, which was just as he attacked Arthurs arm. Considering the tails usually signify age or power, this might have some interesting implications on what is going on with him afterwards. You can also see that each of his 9 tails at the end has a color associated with the characters we know plus some more, similarly to the 8 colors bleeding from his heart at the end, plus one more thats most likely representing himself.
@@creativebriarbe7457 Also Vivi and Shiro's stream emitted from already patched spots, suggesting past damage that got "fixed", possibly due to the old history with mushi and shiro? What I wonder the most is who the pink and black streams belong to. All the other 6 can be associated with characters we already know, but these two are still a mystery, pun intended.
I went back and watched all the videos just looking for shots of his tail. It appears he had 6 tails earlier in the series, but starts this episode with 7 and gets up to 9 by the end. It's worth noting this isn't the first time he's had 9 tails ht tps://i.i gur.c om/YMMnBxq.png
2:08 And that’s when Lewis realized “Oh yeah! I care about this guy!” Brilliant move there! Shiromori sprouted an orange flower from Lewis’ heart piece for a reason!
@@BlacKingler You'd be surprised at how important some of these little details are. We already know that 'someone' began retroactively erasing evidence of Lewis's death and even existence, editing Vivi's memories through her eyes. (The reason they were blacked out in the mirror in Ghost) We again see the same color power coming from her eyes to delete pictures of Lewis on Arthur's laptop.
@@user-de9gl3qw6f So yeah, when Arthur blinks. You better believe we're going to write it down. Every detail is important when you can't use anything more than the words in the soundtrack.
The only way to wait for the next installment without going insane is to wipe mystery skulls completely from your brain until it pops up in your inbox after 24 months and you binge them again
@@Lazy_Spade He's sleep deprived, his friends are supernatural in their own way (his girl friend being the reincarnation of a Japanese Samurai with ice powers and his boy friend a ghost who had been trying to murder him for what might as well be a week or so), he lost his arm to a demon, his second arm is malfunctioning, and his dog is an ancient kitsune who just went crazy and is being controlled by his arm. I'm surprised he took this long to break.
I love that whole ancestorial circumstantial simultaneity going on with Vivi where we see both her and her ancestor fight the same battle against the same opponent for the same reasons in the same way. Vivi just seems like she was much more successful in her battle.
I just rewatched the Mystery Skulls Animated - Hellbent episode, and noticed, that there were a few flashing picture about the past of Lewis and a couple about the past of Mystery. Those memories about Mystery shows the origin of Shiromori. As a Kitsune, Mystery created Shiromori by giving it's blood to a flower, which transformed into her - as it's creator, as it's parent, it doesn't wants it's destruction, and that's why he stopped Vivi from destroying her completely. But she doesn't seems to appreciate the gesture, and take it as a pity, which angers her even more...
Shinomori was crying after she hurt Mystery so I don’t think she wants to hurt him. Only has an addiction to his blood most likely to survive since it helped the forest grow in the first place
The cast: *Anger, sadness, and traumatization is everywhere* Also the cast: They be boppin their heads (EDIT: PPFFFFFFFFFFFT I NEVER EXPECTED THIS GET THIS MANY LIKES. I thought I was some rando who was commenting on this video, and unexpectedly get this much likes. Thank you, you deserve a cookie 🍪)
Honestly this feels like it was release just yesterday... Still keep going back every now and again to rewatch them all, cannot wait for the next one to drop!
can we just appreciate the absolute chad energy arthur's uncle gives off? my man legit just stood there shooting at lewis, just standing there like "IF GUN DONT WORK THEN USE MORE GUN"
kinda, to me it seems like whatever happened to him that turned him to the ghost also warped he's memories, but when arthur literally touched his heart they started coming back
@@trainerziv2043 Personally, I'm thinking that there's another player to all of this. Mystery has both a Lavender and an Indigo leak in his heart. I'm guessing that Lewis is one, and that the other helped revive him as well as altered Vivi's memories and the picture on Arthur's laptop (and possibly Lewis's locket as well). Perhaps because of his involvement, Arthur seems somewhat resistant to the mind-wipe. He knows that Lewis is missing, but doesn't seem to know that he had a hand (pun) in killing him. Perhaps its why he was able to see the truth behind Lewis's locket after a few seconds of peering at it.
and we can also see in 4:55 that arthur's corrupted hand (we can see it at the start of freaking out) is now controlling mystery (doggo) sorry if I have bad english
3 times we saw the arm, the first time we saw the arm in 2014. The second time we saw the arm again was in 2016 and the 3 we the arm again once more time it was in 2018 and we see the arm in this video and haunted Mystery.
I love Lewis's reaction to being shot at.
*Lance:* (Shoots fourteen 12 gauge buckshot rounds)
*Lewis:* "Could you not!?!"
Mystery's Kitsune form has just 7 tails.
i hat his gun so much its double barrel pump action shotgun that fires one bullet and ejects both shells like why
@@OnlyRogueW shotguns can be loaded with ammo and their barrels can be made to have rather tight spreads

Sir that was a double barrel pump action shotgun. Dude took 2 shells of 12 gauge.

2 years ago, when Hellbent was just released, I recall someone saying "See you all in 2 years for the next one". That made an impression me, so now I want to say the same to you all
See you all in 2 years, everyone
See you then.
Hope to see you when the time comes.
I don’t wanna wait. :(
I remember that comment.
And likewise ilo see yall in 2 years for the next one
WE NEED TO SURVIVE EVERYONE! SEE YA IN 2 YEARS!
This series has more symbolism and character development in 4 5 minute episodes than some animes do with 300+ 30 minute episodes.
That's what happens when you have a small team working on a project for 2 years over a larger team with a bigger budget doing it in a few months.
Character development go brrrr
This is such a cool series, absolutely legendary.
The series has a lot of anime elements too tbh
Your not wrong tho-
or entire show's season with 8 45 minutes episodes

Arthur touching the heart made the memory inside more clear, and Lewis remembered who he should be fighting for IM GONNA CRY
You make a good point!
That reminds me of 'Ghost'. Where Vivi also technically touched the heart, and thus maybe that's how Lewis first started truly going after the gang. (It's not like he was doing a whole lot of chasing and or looking for them before their van decided to give out in front of the Ghost manor.)
And it's clearly shown in 'Hellbent' that Arthur was (and had been, for some time) looking for Lewis.
One could say that Lewis in '👻' had no "true" memories from before he became what he is now, and only started truly obsessing AFTER Giving had first grabbed onto (and then made to drop) the heart/locket.

I could also just be thinking too much into it.

Lewis: YOU'RE MAKING THIS REALLY HARD FOR ME
It looked like that last shot actually hurt him, it landed where his heart was before it was shot off. The others just phased through him but that one knocked him back and actually left a "wound"
Lewis:How many times I have to teach you old man
XD
they want to have a BEDtime (?)
@@hanakoisbestgirl4752 I think it's one of those things with certain undead that they do in fact have a weak spot, but all it really does is stun them and piss them off as it can't actually kill them. Now if that shotgun had any magical or supernatural properties, Lewis would probably have done more then flinch.
Same goes for the howl causing Lewis to react in pain. It wasn't the howl that hurt, it was the massive amount of supernatural energy that Envy caused Mystery to discharge during the possession. Arthur's arm even reacted to it because part of that power surge was from Envy as well while Envy is still technically part of him.
Despite everything... Everyone was still vibing to the tunes. That's friendship
Heh. True.
So true
Mystery, bobbing his head sightly in time to the beat: this is extremely traumatic
way better this time too. I always had issues with the head bobbing from the last two, but now it looks more natural.
I actually noticed that for a long portion of time when she goes up to mystery and tried to smother his wound with her scarf, she doesn’t head bop at all

how arm be on inside magic dog
@@werecordrandomjunk5303 if u did not watch the others, when you die or parts of you die like a arm or a leg or even if you just die you reanimate. Since the dog is dead, the dog itself has been reanimated, and they guy that had the metal hand, had his hand chopped of (duh) but his hand roams. Now since the dog is dead, im thinking that the arm will takeover the dog or comeback. Or my mans with the robo arm will go crazy again
@@gamingcrusader141 | You should specify that's just a theory.
I figured our pupper is some sort of Japanese spirit or at least the reincarnation of one. No evidence that he's undead. We also saw the green possessing force briefly bat-shaped in the very first video (in the flashback cave), although that may have simply been another body it was borrowing...
@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth i said that because now the dog turned green and black, the hand was green and also the bat. Now the color might be a useless thing but his arm is green and it was chopped off. Meaning his arm is dead but it still roams. (Also i should of said it was a theory....)
Kronks new groove
I wanted to point out a nice detail. I love that if you look at Shiromori right after she has to knock Mystery, the kitsune, away from her in self defense, she has tears in the corners of her eyes when she turns around. This shows how much she hated that she had done that, and then after Vivi had obliterated Shiromori, and only her trunk remanded, Mystery looks horrified that his (friend...?) Was dead. I wonder what kind of relationship they had in the past
Basically shiromori It was a flower to which mystery gave his blood, it grew enough to become a forest fed by mystery's blood (perhaps enough to become conscious) This can be seen in the images seen on hellbent
The heart is still in a whole pice, so probably she isn't entirely dead?
@@kailevil3444Potentially. It depends on if the heart acted like a regular heart or soul jar of sorts, like Lewis' does. Either way, I think they have other priorities right now.
@@Nintendon85 I suspect it was just Knocked Into Next Week (as mentioned, it looks intact), but it got thrown entirely out of her tree-body, so she's going to have to spend a LOT of Oomph to grow a new one and then get back to The Action. Also, in Hellbent, she's shown to 'fast travel' shallow underground

Omg it was so amazing, you are allright man
i like how everyone has a superpower except the yellow guy who just has anxiety
Actually, his artificial arm seems to have some anti-supernatural capabilities. In "Hellbent," he whacked the dashboard of the van to get it going again after it stalled, and at the end of last episode, touching Lewis with that arm is what revealed his identity. In this one, he touched the locket and that's what revealed the full picture (literally).
What are you talking his anxiety is his superpower
Turns out his power is manslaughter !
@@DoctorWortspieler I think in hellbent curse that stoped the car just went from the car to his hand (since car started working, but hand went dead). It might also be the reason why it acted like this in other instances - it was filled with Lewis's magic.
He made himself that arm, which might be see as special talent, but it hardly gives him any advantage since all he got is supplement for arm he lost.

So, quick guess theory: Lewis' locket reveals the heart's desire. That's why he breaks down crying when he sees how the picture changed after Arthur touched it. He realized that all Arthur wants is the 4 of them together again.
So basically...
Lewis had a *change* of *heart*
@@satan4489 S T O P
I would guess yes, since he stopped trying to murder Arthur and ended up protecting him
The picture changed to show all four after Arthur touched it with his mechanical arm. The mechanical arm seems to have anti-supernatural/ magic cancelling properties, which implies the picture was always of whole crew, but something tampered with the locket to only show Lewis and Vivi.
This isn't a guess OR theory; it's what happened in the video that you just watched lmao

We already got fire and ice, all this team needs is lightning for the classic RPG element trio, and Arthur's got a robotic arm.
Arthur's robotic arm reacts with the Green Spirit ,maibe he Will be able to hold him back or even absorbing some of its strengh, maybe getting a demonic arm or something?(just by the fact of him being the first possesed one)
Just use 0.1% of his power.

I like how in the beginning Arthur wasn’t even afraid of dying, he was just confused as to why Lewis was there and trying to kill him
He was afraid and he knows why Lewis is trying to kill him
Arthur didn’t know that Lewis had died and Lewis didn’t know that Arthur wasn’t himself when he was pushed off the cliff, only Mystery knew the truth of what happened in that cave, due to the lack of knowledge, Lewis becomes a vengeful ghost unbeknownst to Arthur and Vivi till their “reunion” in Ghost where Vivi notices Lewis is the ghost but Arthur is too scared to see that
@@magicbeefy85 no, I think, Arthur did know that Lewis had died, he just didn't know that Lewis was the vengeful ghost pursuing them, only after her saw Lewis' face he discovered ghost's true identity

See everyone in two years time, I guess
Same here! Although ngl it dosent feel like it's been two years since Hellbent
Some details about Mystery I want to note cause they were easy to miss!
-In the hellbent flashback, Mystery had 9 tails.
-In the start of the future, Mystery had 7 (meaning he 'lost' two some time between the flashbacks with Vivi's ancestor and the present)
-Mystery gained a tail when Vivi got hurt, and another when Shiromori died.
-Each of these tails seemed to correspond with a puncture to his heart, in the places that had seals/bandages.
-There were already traces of ??? in Mystery even before he got wounded (his eyes turning green and the green inside his mouth as soon as Vivi got hurt)
Which means he was most likely fighting off the possession even before he got seriously wounded.
My guess would be when that green, shadowy spirit that’s overhead of Mystery when he picked up the flower petal in “Freaking Out”
He also has only 6 in the Ghost flashback, which would imply he gained another one in response to That Event. Possibly even two if Arthur and Lewis counted separately the way Vivi and Shiro did.
@Dr. Meme Man
Or it could be when he ripped Arthur's arm off
Each puncture did represent a heartbreak for mystery, the bandaged ones are from his past. With Vivi's ancestor and Shiromori (Whom I believe is not dead yet, I hope. Since the important thing is the heart for supernatural beings, and hers was simply flung away). Recent ones might be from Arthur being possessed and Mystey having to rip his arm off, and Lewis' death at the hands of ???. The remaining punctures I am not 100% sure, the green one might also be from ???'s initial attempt to posses Mystery. As for the rest, we are still in the dark.
I noticed that the dude's arm appeared in Freaking Out and now theres a green arm taking possesion of Mystery..
Lewis: Sad he died and lost the girl he loved, pissed at arthur for thinking he had killed him out of jealousy, then sad again realizing that it wasn't just vivi he loved, it was all his friends. That character development from a vengeful ghost to realizing he was wrong in what he was doing is amazing.
Funny bit of trivia. The sing your hearing at the very beginning is actually a different song called enemy. And it's for those who aren't a big fan of the animated series 'ghost guy' Lewis talking to 'yellow guy' Arthur. About could you ever imagine becoming someone I'd call your enemy. Its a short song if you want to go listen to the lyrics and how it fits in with the story as a whole.
Lewis and Arthur were great friends until the incident in the cave where Arthur was possed by the evil entity which took his arm. There's a lot or story still to come
OKAY BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT VIVI AND HER ANCESTOR? THE IMAGE IN LEWIS'S HEART CHANGING? MYSTERY POSSIBLY DYING AND GETTING POSSESSED BY THE GREEN HAND THAT MOST OF US THOUGHT WAS IRRELEVANT????? BRUHHHHHHHH
Right now, I'm convinced that there's nothing that's irrelevant. I think Vivi's blood soaked scarf is going to be of importance in the next video. To revive Shirimori to fight Mystery?
Or did anyone notice that after Lewis came to Vivi her eyes went once again all glowy in form of stars..just like when she met the plant lady..her love for ghost hunting goes to a total different level...i could say a SUPERNATURAL one..i will take my leave xD

i understand why these take 2 years each time. THEY ARE PERFECT IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE I EXPECT NO LESS FORM YOU!
Tbf, they said that the goal will always be “once a year”. Though, given how long their animation takes, it always gets extended to 2 years.
However, one thing I’d like to point out is that their animation team increased between the time of “Hellbent” and this one (see credits of both videos)
So I have full confidence that they’re going to make the one year deadline this time around.
But if not, that’s okay as well.
@@Dr.Meme-Manyeah the one year deadline
@@Honest_Abe1 3 years was a LONG time ago, I’m so sorry for giving hope like that. 😅
I really like the plot for this entire series, Lewis comes to learn to forgive and that he doesn’t just love livi but he loves ALL his friends and the dog is just- in another level ig we don’t question the family dog they just quirky like that
One detail I noticed that noone else seems to have mentioned so far: When Vivi got wounded, not just did Mystery's heart start bleeding blue, he also suddendly grew an 8th tail. After Shiromori dies and he bleeds white, his possessed form had 9 tails. Additionally, his ninetails form in Ghost had 6 tails, which was just as he attacked Arthurs arm. Considering the tails usually signify age or power, this might have some interesting implications on what is going on with him afterwards. You can also see that each of his 9 tails at the end has a color associated with the characters we know plus some more, similarly to the 8 colors bleeding from his heart at the end, plus one more thats most likely representing himself.
Also his heart was already bleeding dark green meaning there's most likely some major MAJOR history.
@@creativebriarbe7457 Also Vivi and Shiro's stream emitted from already patched spots, suggesting past damage that got "fixed", possibly due to the old history with mushi and shiro?
What I wonder the most is who the pink and black streams belong to. All the other 6 can be associated with characters we already know, but these two are still a mystery, pun intended.
I went back and watched all the videos just looking for shots of his tail. It appears he had 6 tails earlier in the series, but starts this episode with 7 and gets up to 9 by the end. It's worth noting this isn't the first time he's had 9 tails

arthur: *blinks*
fans: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN
That's how it be.

You'd be surprised at how important some of these little details are.
We already know that 'someone' began retroactively erasing evidence of Lewis's death and even existence, editing Vivi's memories through her eyes. (The reason they were blacked out in the mirror in Ghost) We again see the same color power coming from her eyes to delete pictures of Lewis on Arthur's laptop.
@@user-de9gl3qw6f
So yeah, when Arthur blinks. You better believe we're going to write it down. Every detail is important when you can't use anything more than the words in the soundtrack.
OH MY GOSH HE BLINKED AND EXISTS PEOPLE!!!! THIS IS NOT A DRIIILLLL!!!!!
HOW MANY TIMES DID THEIR HEADS BOP WE NEED THIS INFO!!!!!1!!!!
see u guys in another 2 years
bro the first mystery skulls animated came out while I was in middle school. I'm in college now
same dude it still slaps so hard though
Hey bruh, I’m hanging in there too. (Just got hooked yesterday ) two years to go!!
It was college for me, now im a working man
The only way to wait for the next installment without going insane is to wipe mystery skulls completely from your brain until it pops up in your inbox after 24 months and you binge them again
its crazy, 6 years past by
“What the f- *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA* ”
Best scene in my life
Arthur are you okay
same
I wonder who will voice Lewis, and what he would sound like?
@@Lazy_Spade He's sleep deprived, his friends are supernatural in their own way (his girl friend being the reincarnation of a Japanese Samurai with ice powers and his boy friend a ghost who had been trying to murder him for what might as well be a week or so), he lost his arm to a demon, his second arm is malfunctioning, and his dog is an ancient kitsune who just went crazy and is being controlled by his arm.
I'm surprised he took this long to break.
@@maxjpz Wait Mystery’s his dog? I thought he was vivians
I love that whole ancestorial circumstantial simultaneity going on with Vivi where we see both her and her ancestor fight the same battle against the same opponent for the same reasons in the same way. Vivi just seems like she was much more successful in her battle.
I just rewatched the Mystery Skulls Animated - Hellbent episode, and noticed, that there were a few flashing picture about the past of Lewis and a couple about the past of Mystery. Those memories about Mystery shows the origin of Shiromori. As a Kitsune, Mystery created Shiromori by giving it's blood to a flower, which transformed into her - as it's creator, as it's parent, it doesn't wants it's destruction, and that's why he stopped Vivi from destroying her completely. But she doesn't seems to appreciate the gesture, and take it as a pity, which angers her even more...
everyone gangsta until the characters stop moving there head to the beat.
YES
I didn't realize that
Okay facts
Omg how did i not notice that o-o
Wait where?
Shinomori was crying after she hurt Mystery so I don’t think she wants to hurt him. Only has an addiction to his blood most likely to survive since it helped the forest grow in the first place
Missed it live
Wait was it live
I think she was holding his literal heart, and the heart wanted to go back.
the hand holding the heart was green, though... you know, like arthur's possessed cut hand...? right?
I thought she was crying because she got hurt, but I want to believe that she actually didn't want to kill him ; u ;
The cast: *Anger, sadness, and traumatization is everywhere*
Also the cast: They be boppin their heads
(EDIT: PPFFFFFFFFFFFT I NEVER EXPECTED THIS GET THIS MANY LIKES. I thought I was some rando who was commenting on this video, and
unexpectedly get this much likes. Thank you, you deserve a cookie 🍪)
They do be Vibin tho
Yeah
Gotta bop through the agony, you know? ~ ;3
I was actually happy to see it come back, seems when things get serious they be boppin.
Its their coping mechanism
Honestly this feels like it was release just yesterday...
Still keep going back every now and again to rewatch them all, cannot wait for the next one to drop!
Vivi: What the fu--
Arthur: *DEMONIC SCREECHING*
Oh boy, same
👌😂
He screamed like satan
Lmao that was amazing how they screamed
Arthur:ua-cam.com/video/_ljvH7dqrs0/v-deo.html
Arthur in the After-Credits Scene be like:
"I PUT MY HAND ON THAT-"
can we just appreciate the absolute chad energy arthur's uncle gives off? my man legit just stood there shooting at lewis, just standing there like "IF GUN DONT WORK THEN USE MORE GUN"
He literally shot a ghost and it actually worked
As long as you have good aim, the worst thing that can happen Is It does nothing, best case It WILL do something
That backstop tho
Where does one get all the lore and names for these characters?
@@0utlawactual363 i think there is a website with information of each character
So was the whole thing with Lewis locket that he didn’t realize he still cares for aruther even after everything he *believed* happened
kinda, to me it seems like whatever happened to him that turned him to the ghost also warped he's memories, but when arthur literally touched his heart they started coming back
he belived that arthur killed him but that corruption was controlling his arm, thats why now he have a robotic arm
It could also be that he was obsess in getting back vivi and he was blinded by that.
@@trainerziv2043
Personally, I'm thinking that there's another player to all of this. Mystery has both a Lavender and an Indigo leak in his heart. I'm guessing that Lewis is one, and that the other helped revive him as well as altered Vivi's memories and the picture on Arthur's laptop (and possibly Lewis's locket as well).
Perhaps because of his involvement, Arthur seems somewhat resistant to the mind-wipe. He knows that Lewis is missing, but doesn't seem to know that he had a hand (pun) in killing him. Perhaps its why he was able to see the truth behind Lewis's locket after a few seconds of peering at it.
and we can also see in 4:55 that arthur's corrupted hand (we can see it at the start of freaking out) is now controlling mystery (doggo) sorry if I have bad english
Shiromori: *injures mystery*
Vivi: "your living subscription has now ended"
Mystery: *This isn’t even my final form!*
Correction: Your free trial/subscription of living has ended
Calling it now. Shiromori isn't dead. She'll just regrow from whatever Vivi knocked into next week.
She didn't mean to hurt him, but she got what's coming to her
@@UpsideZown maybe
I mean Mystery's reaction made it seem like she got killed
The arm comes back, this proves literally everything has a meaning. Quick how many time did they blink?
I think 3
How meany times did there heads bop?
@@vicegt *_I think 1873820382783928382890_*
I've watched this sooo much. When does the arm show up beside the end when grabbing the heart
3 times we saw the arm, the first time we saw the arm in 2014. The second time we saw the arm again was in 2016 and the 3 we the arm again once more time it was in 2018 and we see the arm in this video and haunted Mystery.
Here before this video officially becomes 3 years old. Excited for the next animation and no matter how long it takes it'll end up being outstanding!
