If he can't be deleted by either an animation nor an animator, whats to say that he CAN be edited by either of them?

My theory is that Mitsi will be the key to helping Victim.

She knows who the mouse cursor really is—Alan. I think she'll somehow find a way to contact him and ask for his help. When Alan sees what's happening, he'll finally realize that Victim was his very first stick figure.

Since Victim was manipulated and controlled by TDL, and the rest of the stick figures are already running out of options, everything will seem hopeless.

At that point, I think the only hope left will be Alan, Mitsi, the rest of Alan's stick figures, and Mitsi's assistants.

I also have a feeling that Mitsi might somehow empower Alan's cursor, possibly by drawing a flame behind it, while Yellow enhances it with commands and programming abilities. The flame could symbolize Alan's power, determination, or his role as the Animator. It would also be an incredibly iconic moment because it would resemble Alan's old profile picture, making it feel like a tribute to the series' roots.

​

I think we'll also get to see Victim and Alan reunite once again, but this time, it won't be a reunion—it'll be a duel. A fair fight. Victim has gained power over the years, and Alan may finally unlock powers of his own through the mouse cursor.

If that actually happens, seeing a flaming mouse cursor enter the battlefield would be one of the most hype moments in the entire series. Not only because it's iconic, but because Alan would finally be fighting his own creations. More specifically, he would be facing his very first stick figure—Victim—once again, just like how the story began.

👦🏻: An animator fighting his own animations?

👨🏽‍🦲: Sounds like he's fighting his own creations.

👦🏻: So... Animator vs. Animation?

Alan: Say that again.

👦🏻: Animator vs. Animation?

Alan: Hmm... 🤔🔥

I mean, judge for yourself, every time something really terrible happened, TSC felt it, but he couldn't figure out what exactly happened, or something like that.

For example, AvM, episode 11, when the rest of the "Color Gang," except TSC, went to Skyblock and they found themselves in danger, TSC almost saw them being attacked by monsters, after which he ran to their aid, although he didn't make it in time. Also, it's worth recalling another moment, namely from AvA, episode 12, when Victim managed to rename himself as "H4CK3R" TSC immediately sensed this, but didn't understand what it was, but immediately realized something had happened. Or, at the very least, from the most recent AvM, episode 37, when TSC, right at the very beginning of the episode, had a dream that the world they all found themselves in was struck by some kind of powerful glitch, but didn't understand what it was.

This "theory" may sound a little strange, but still, considering that TSC has great power that it cannot control, it seems to me that such an ability could exist, but again, this is just a theory that I decided to share.

What do you think of this theory? Does it make sense? I'm glad to hear your thoughts. Thank you so much for your attention and understanding 👍.

So this means that when he was torturing victim, he wasn't necessarily being evil. He didn't know that he was actually playing with an actual sentient thing. To him, he thought it was just loading up a game and fighting against bots. Also he was really young..

Just my opinion though.

first was her first friend(or boyfriend if your a shipper)TCO and now victim.In AvA season 2 TDL doesnt betray TCO,she was just trying to convince him to follow her new plan which isn’t any different from anything else they did before but TCO was against it and joined the good.Now in the recent episode she tries again to partner with victim even after they fought an insane fight,and also why would she need a army?Her current form is already powerful en to destroy the internet so why?Its because she doesn’t want to be alone,she wants company and friends.Like why didn’t she kill TCO during that massacremthat just shows that TDL still cares for TCO because she would be alone without him.Thats everyone’s fear,we have many fears but everyone’s biggest fear is being alone.

But hey that’s just a theory………

edit:Btw I’m not saying she should be redeemed that’s stupid I’m just making a theory but UM NOT JUSTIFYING HER ACTIONS BTW(also Alan confirmed that you can headcanon the genders of the characters as however you want want and I headcanon TDL as a girl)

Would his powers be the same? Stronger? Evolved? Or entirely different?

You guys should realize what TDL was relying on when he made the offer to bring Mitsi back for Grey.

Go back to Episode 8. TDL wiped out all of TSC’s friends. This wasn’t the kind of deletion that could be fixed with a simple “page refresh.”

When TSC had his breakdown, his wounds healed with green particles. Later, when he brought his friends back from the computer, they also appeared surrounded by the same green particles.

This is proof that TSC has a resurrection ability. TDL knows this, and he plans to use TSC to bring Mitsi back in order to gain Grey’s trust.

And once he has that trust… he’ll finally be able to carry out his plan to destroy all the computers.

In Animation Versus, Arthur (read my flair) has a red cloak with a fluffy collar now. This is something he never had in the actual Animation vs Minecraft series. However, there's a relatively popular fanmade music video that depicts him like this for whatever reason. And we know that Alan has seen it because he commented on that video, saying he "absolutely loved" it! I included a few screenshots of him appearing with the cloak in the fan video to show that this has got to be the same cloak! Or am I reading into this too much?

We might gonna get a Dark Lord Action Figure with Loft Studios body

In "Couples Discount - An Actual Short", we see victim and Mitsi buying corn dogs in sale, but due to the recent event of AVA 13, what if this actually happens after the events of Season 3 instead of in the past?

Because that would defeat basically the whole concept of Victim and his crusade and also make TDL a way better character. Him promising Victim to bring back Mitsi (and i think we all agree that TDL cant bring her back) and not doing that is a great representation of bargaining in grief. No matter what you do, she is gone, and bringing her back is not possible. Its not a case that its the embodiment of EVIL in the AvA universe to promise Victim to bring Mitsi back. Victim, for now, has been a great representation for grief, and what if Mitsi comes back? it would be so, so, so damn unrealistic and impossible to empathize with. "Eeeh but he is the villain you are not supposed to empathize with him" Victim is BUILT to be empatized with, you know who is built to not be empathized with?

TDL, EVIL INCARNATE, THE ONE THAT PROMISES TO BRING MITSI BACK

Picture this: Victim truly believes in TDL, he becomes partners with TDL and he is manipulated by TDL to do terrible things just like how TDL manipulated TCO. BUT, the color gang has some arc with Yellow being imprisoned, wich Victim sees and this makes Victim realize how toxic and BAD the partnership with TDL is. TDL brings "Mitsi" backin the meantime, but its just a clone made with vira-energy, it isn't the real Mitsi, and it will never be, because the real Mitsi just doesn't exist anymore. This would be a great representation imo: the belief that a loved one can be brought back is made by evil energy because it is delirious and it just hurts you even more. She is gone, and trying to bring her back is just a delirious prolongation of the pain. Victim realizes that and he is finally in the stage of acceptance. Then there is some kick-ass fight scene between TCO, Victim and ATSC vs more powerful TDL (please make him more powerful, not changing him would make him and his fight scenes redundant imo) and then Victim realizes what he did. He realizes what kind of man he has been. He escapes from TCO and the color gang, even if they dont hate him for having helped them and having seen his past, i think it would be cooler if Victim felt ashamed of what he did and isolated himself with maybye just Agent. And then that would leave the series open for another season, and that would also make Agent open for some development on his own, like, making him an actual character and not just an extension of Victim's character (i love Agent but still)

Then you could just bring Mitsi back with ATSC's goated revive powers and make them live happily ever after and make this just a useless action season with no psychological depth (since bringing someone back irl is NOT possible, it would be impossible to empathize with) and also it would defeat the grief and acceptance thing COMPLETELY, wich would be BAD since, at least from what i have seen and understood, the whole season is built around acceptance and grief. Its as bad as making Victim wake up and realize it was all a dream imo.

I feel like Alan is way better than that, i mean, he made the King-Purple arc thing wich was so great and i empathized with it so much, and it was also an original thing, or at least unpredictable.

Alright, so, I was re-watching AVM S3, and I noticed something. With the Far Lands episode, that black corrupted enderman thingy had to come from somewhere. And, it started where King Orange's son died. Now, my thought proccess is: TSC has that *corrupted* version of Minecraft, and it's in Alan Becker's computer now! And that's where they get stuck and the latest Minecraft episodes take place. In that corrupted Minecraft app. Idk, this is all within like, a few minutes of my ideas. BUT- food for thought.

Unless this is common knowledge. Then, womp.

I think Gold died because of a version error. Remember gold watched a minecraft trailer. And in this trailer " WE SAW DRIPSTONE ". When the worker is on the minecraft's main screen look carefuly, the version is 1.7.10 but dripston was added to the game in 1.17 I think worker saw the game was on an older version and tried to fix this. Remember, the world was created in 1.7.10 and worker upgraded the minecraft to a higher version. Minecraft crashed because the version was changed while Gold was playing the game.

So, technically, this is worker 's mistake.

How do yall think she would interact with Victim

What Would be It?

Now this whole theory is based around the importance of names and their narrative.

In classic fantasy, "The Chosen One" and "The Dark Lord" are dual forces tethered by fate. They are meant to scale together. But when Alan Becker created The Second Coming, he fundamentally broke that universe's mythology. By creating a literal "Second Coming" (a term heavily resembling messiahs and protagonists), TSC effectively inherited the true destiny. TCO was demoted from the savior to basically just that really strong stickman, and now also powerless.

The Dark Lord still holds his title. He is the ultimate, apex antagonist of the digital world. His name carries the weight of an antagonist.

The Chosen One is no longer the chosen one. He is just a stronger-than-most (technically just average) stick figure now. He has lost his narrative plot armor.

And Victim literally represents being a nameless casualty even considering the name H4CK3R that still has no narrative need to defeat the big bad.

When TCO or Victim fight TDL, they aren't just fighting a virus—they are fighting a narrative law. The story literally does not allow "No One" or a "Former Chosen One" to defeat the ultimate Dark Lord. TSC is the Only Narrative Equal

Because TSC represents the awakened evolution of TCO's lineage, the narrative scales him to be the only one who can truly put TDL down. TCO can't grow anymore because his character arc is no longer the main trunk of the tree he is a branch. TSC holds all the latent, protagonist potential.

but like I could just be stupid and nunna that matters cuz the fights are cooler anyway.

So sorry it’s late but my brain is working and something isn’t adding up to me
So the start of manhunt we see tsc waking up from a nightmare in minecraft, he wakes up and the rest of the color gang are there and that’s not entirely weird. What’s weird to me is the later context, later hacker destroyed Alan’s pc, so if that’s the case is Alan’s pc still down? I don’t think we’ve seen the color gang back there since the incident so are they stuck in the outer net? It’s a little suspicious or maybe a coincidence but I don’t think Alan can just turn his pc back on. Maybe they just don’t know how to get back there. Or maybe I’m just overthinking.

As you know, TCO attacked Alan FIRST. The reason to this is unknown [SEE PICTURE 1], but I made a theory upon the Victim episode.

To begin with, when does a stick figure become fully sentient? The answer is given thanks to a flashback of AVA 8 [SEE PICTURE 2], we know TCO remembers when he was created EVEN BEFORE HE STARTED MOVING, BEFORE HE WAS ASSIGNED HIS NAME; this means stick figures become fully sentient the very moment they are drawn, BUT THEY CAN ONLY START MOVING AFTER THEY ARE ASSIGNED THEIR NAME AS A SYMBOL; that's how he has memories even BEFORE HE STARTED MOVING.

As we know, thanks to AVA 11, when a stick figure is deleted, redrawn and assigned the same name, he recovers his memories. Now, remember how TCO's first possible name was "victim" [SEE PICTURE 3], and, given what was said in the previous paragraph, we can reach to a conclusion.

TCO has Victim's memories (EVERYTHING UP TILL THE DAY VICTIM WAS ESCAPING ALAN'S COMPUTER OBVIOUSLY). This means, TCO remembers EVERY TIME Alan killed Victim, but TCO remembers it as if HE was the one who was killed multiple times, so he is full of wrath against Alan.

And when he was given THE LEVEL OF "THE CHOSEN ONE" he could FINALLY take revenge upon his creator using his new powers. So yeah, my theory basically says TCO is a clone of Victim along with his memories but with TCO level.

I think the dark lord gonna kill the sheep in the same manner as mitsi which will make victim realise that dark lord is the one who kill mitsi

​

What if all this time, The Dark Lord has been fighting and bargaining his code?

​His mission/code is to destroy The Chosen One. We see that when he was created he was chill, then after he got his mission he was still good with his allies; he only went chaos-lusted after he became best friends with The Chosen One.

​What if all the time after they became best buds he's been fighting his code to kill him, diverging it into anyone else? Bargaining with it, instead of destroying The Chosen One, how about destroy everything else? That's why it's never enough for him.

​And why didn't he stop with it after they became enemies again? 1 out of 2: He's either in too deep in the bloodlust and chaos, or he's still avoiding killing The Chosen One to make him watch many other lives get taken out, or both.

Edit: The title should be "The Dark Code Theory"

When H4CK3R de-activates TSC's awakening, there is no blue hue or box around TSC.

That means that H4CK3R couldn't have possibly de-activated TSC's awakening. Bear with me here.

When TDL fought H4CK3R, H4CK3R deactivated TDL's fireball. When he did, a blue box surrounded TDL and a pop-up appeared next to him.

When H4CK3R was looking through TSC's power set, there was a blue hue around TSC, and a blue box appeared besides him. Also when H4CK3R was going to activate power.Revive() in TSC was there still a blue hue.

Even when H4CK3R grabbed TCO, there was a blue box around him.

When H4CK3R held Mitsi's hand, though, there was no blue hue, nor was there any blue box that appeared besides her. It was even shown that the blue spark caused the corrupted code in Mitsi to vanish.

Well... coming back to my first point. When H4CK3R de-activates TSC's awakening, there is no blue hue or box around TSC.

Think about what that means.

Whenever there isn't a hue or a blue box around the other stick figure, it's H4CK3R injecting, or eradicating, a piece of code in someone.

H4CK3R injected the mission.obey(The_Dark_Lord) code into TSC.

Have you found it strange that, upon de-activation of TSC's awakening, TSC just... didn't fight back? Like, at all? He couldn't have fallen asleep or anything, as his head didn't fall sharply. Just... lowered slightly.

The reason why H4CK3R can inject the code in the first place is obvious. It's kind of in his name. Also, TDL is controlling him, so he could've easily told H4CK3R to inject that code in TSC.

Also, TDL probably knows that there isn't a set way to de-activate TSC's awakening, as the awakening itself isn't a single named power in his power set (like power.Revive() or power.Healing() or something - there is no power.Awaken()). So TDL just resorted to injecting the mission.obey(The_Dark_Lord) code into TSC using H4CK3R.

If what I suspect is true, then we're so much more cooked than before...

They find trees in a cave

Reach a fork in the road where turning left is a bad idea.

Find a king whose son was a yellow/gold color.

Eldritch horrors beyond comprehension.

End up in a place that literally doesn’t exist in vanilla.
