What's with them knowing secrets/things that you should only tell someone if you know they can be trusted, to anyone who asks? Like Sol, Ashfur, One Eye and maybe Darktail. And they wonder why they have to deal with evil cats every week
The only issue I have with this book is that Mothwing is horribly out of character, she's far- far too mean to Shadowsight and Tigerstar is out of character when it comes to taking Moth's side, which doesn't at all fit with how protective a father he has been through the arc so far.
I completely agree with you. I understand that Mothwing has lost alot and Shadowsight is the easiest to blame but at the same time She should understand more than anyone what it's like to feel like an outsider among the other medicine cats. The Erin's in my opinion just needed a cat to turn Shadowclan against Shadowsight and Mothwing sadly fit the bill.
Mistystar was out of character too. In Veil of Shadows, she was just really mean to Mothwing and the two RiverClan warriors who joined the rebellion. In Darkness within however, she was (together with Squirrelflight) the only leader who didn't want Bramblestar to be murdered. It looks like the Erins switch her character every book now... Mothwing was totally out of character but it did make a great character arc for Shadowsight, so I don't complain about it.
honestly agreed!! when i read darkness within i started to dislike mothwing a LOT, since she was being really rude to poor shadowsight, she never was one of my favorite characters but i was fine with her until now, they just used her as a quick way to make shadowclan hate shadowsight
Going from the “Into the Wild took place in 2003, the same year it came out” system I use to keep myself from losing my mind trying to reverse engineer actual dates from the books: the present day as of the start of The Broken Code is 2015, while the fire scene took place in the late fall of 2008. So it’s only been about seven years, give or take. Squirrelflight and Leafpool were also born in early 2006, for reference, so Squilf just turned 9 years old sometime during Lost Stars. For comparison, Bramblestar was born in spring 2004 and Ashfur was born in summer 2003 (and so is only around six months older than Firestar; who was born in late 2002, almost exactly six months before joining the Clans). The answer, as it usually ends up being whenever I calculate Warriors character ages, is don’t think about it.
Me: you guys were freaked out by that? Huh I am the necromancy person who will steal you soul so I guess it kinda makes sense why I was pretty chill about that
For anyone wondering, the two cats Akira refers to as zombies are Berrynose and StemLeaf. Other members of Ashfurs dead people army include: RosePetal, SandyNose, and StrikeStone.
Oh, ok thx. I thought it was...um...was it Cherryfall who died in the battle with Berrynose? Wait no that was RosePetal. This shows how clueless I am on any books past omen of the stars.
Dappletuft too! Don't worry if you don't remember them, they were a RiverClan character. And also a BreezeHeather kit too, Smokehaze I think her name was?
I believe that while Bristlefrost doesn’t have a power like the others, she will play a key part in helping Rootspring unlock his full potential. In the book, one of the Sisters states that Rootspring must open his heart if he wants to summon the dead cats again, by himself. I believe that his love for Bristlefrost will need to come to full fruition, where he disregards everything for his love for her. His heart finally opens, and he is finally able to utilize his full power without struggle.
I think Firestar is becoming sentient... He realized that the only reason they choose to send Ashfur was because of plot. Soon, Firestar will realize that they are all in a book. He will then discover how to write for himself and achieve his final form!!! This was his plan from day one... Take over warriors, and give himself an actual personality!!!
@@v1per874 He lost all of his personality after Forest of Secrets. After that he became generic perfect good guy. You could replace late series Firestar with a block of wood and it wouldn’t have made a difference.
If you told young me who read the first three arcs of this book, that later there will be spirit and earth powers in Warriors, I'd think you're talking about a different book.
@@Frostfern94 I disagree, warrior cats will live on forever as long as the creators are still living or stay in their profession of being writers and not joining other jobs. I don’t think Erin Hunter could get bored of writing, no matter if it’s warrior cats or some other book series they make. So, yeah. I disagree with you.
Bramblestar: everything is finally working out for the clans. I am a strong leader and have made peace with the others. prey is plentiful, the code is being followed by every single cat, even Breezepelt. Skyclan has a home, the dark forest is defeated, darktail is gone, and every cat is happy. Ashfur: lolol Peace go brrrr Edit: Bramblestar/Ashfur was the impostor.
@@SelaphielV that would look a lot nicer. At least people on drugs, animated of course, don't give me nightmares. He looks like He wants to do horrible things to me before He kills me, and the absolute madness in his eyes is straight up messed up, as if He was a demon chasing me. Nightmare Fuel, man. This is what I imagine Satan looking like... (it's actually Giygas to have earned that "honor", but this Bramble is close enough.
Over the river and through the woods, And into the moonpool they go; The spirit knows the way to carry the deputy, Through the icy cold waters below ohhh!
I’d just like to point out how Missy Dakota’s drawing of the imposter in this video is absolutely phenomenal, and it’s definitely one of my favorite sprites they’ve drawn. It’s creepy to an extent that made me want to watch this video lol.
I used to really like Mothwing on how unique she was ( cuz she's an atheist medicine cat ) Then Darkness Within happened and she makes me want to send her to Starclan personally.... Poor ShadowSight...
I seriously do not understand all these complaining about Mothwing. She literally said, “Oak leaves would work more” and everyone is going insane. Shadowsight was the one to get all angry first! I love Mothwing too and the book didn’t bother me at all. Mothwing is a much more experienced medicine cat, of course she knows more than Shadowsight. She was only trying to best help her ShadowClan clan mates and Shadowsight was doing something that wasn’t the most effective.
@@Cloverrfrostt there are more misunderstandings here, shadowsight was following what he got taught from puddleshine and puddle shine is experienced but moth wing gets herself involved asks even TIGERSTAR to make my boi apprentice again. Mothwing isn’t even shadowclan plus apprentcies have more freedom of choosing herbs then shadows it plus she messed up the whole herb store in general how is shadowsight not going to be mad?
In summary: yellow fang caused all this and she shouldn't make any further decisions of keeping cats in starclan and spiresight caused this as well Also, why does a broken code give me power of three vibes?
Power of three was at arc that had the jayfeather time travel thing(was it also in oots, I read those books a l o n g time ago) and is pretty much the only arc that had cool magic weird stuff and a lot of starclan other than TBC and OotS
(spoilers for squilf's hope) they literally held a whole trial for squilf and leafpool, and then just let ashfur in UNDER THE EXCUSE HE LOVED TOO MUCH!!! with (presumably) NO TRIAL!! how dumb can starclan be?
You’re still misreading that passage about Spiresight. Spiresight never did anything to help Ashfur, all Ashfur was saying is that he was bending Spiresight to his will. Spiresight was never bad and never had any ill intentions, he’s just under Ashfur’s control now
I want to know what Tawnypelt thinks about all this. Does she want to risk killing or brother? Or does she want to stand at her sons side? Is she scared for the mate and kits she has in starclan? She would be very interesting cat to learn about in this arc
My favorite part of Darkness Within was when Thornclaw was like "are you SURE there was no nepotism when choosing Thunderclan's last three deputies" and Lionblaze was like "Of COURSE mouse-brain!""
Great theory, Akira! I think you've hit the nail on the head with this one. And I love your timeline and your predictions about how the rest of the arc is going to play out! If I had to guess, Shadowsight and crew will probably win by eating deathberries and venturing into the Dark Forest to destroy the barrier. This seems like the most logical way to defeat Ashfur. ... I do wish the Erins hadn't incorporated *literal attempted suic!de* into the plot of this arc, though. Surely this is *not* the kind of message they want to send to kids, that eating actual poison will put you in a "deep sleep" and allow you to fight ghosts... They really should have found another way for Shadowsight to travel as a spirit--like sleeping next to the Moonpool, or something. Anything would have been better than... this. Anyway, awesome job!! ^w^
Kids should know the difference between fiction and reality. If parents aren’t teaching them that by the time they can read warriors then it the parents fault. It a fictional book.
8:42 Wait wait wait... Cats that *cant get to starclan?* Remember all that rouges like Scourge, Sol and Darktail? *Imagine if Ashfur brought THEM back* I mean... cats that dont belive in starclan still have a spirit right? So since Ashfur is building himself a ghost army, Trees powers could come in pretty handy (if he hasn't died yet, i can't really read the books)
At one point in the video. Listen closely. "They dont tell you" (The Squirrelflight song) is playing. With all thats happening. Hearing the song definitely hits differently.
I love villain Ashfur so much,, unlike most villains, he's actually able to form a big threat, cause mass destruction, is unique because I'm pretty sure he's the ONLY starclan cat, and he seems like he suffers from slight trauma from he was alive. I like to think that he developed his feelings of loneliness from emotional starvation from when he was alive, causing him to be able to feel lonely. Even though his big plan isn't revealed yet he already had caused many destruction, man I'm so excited for this arc, i hope we get to see his secret plan unfold into something really cool! Let's not turn this villain into what happened in the dark forest in the power of three shall we.
I would like this series to be the ‘epic ending’ if you will. I think that there should be a massive battle (ghost battle) and the ghosts will win. Think about it. If the cats win, against all odds, it would seem as if they are immune. Obviously I want the series to go on, but there will be super editions, manga, and other similar side-books.
I mean it could have ended with the omen of the stars( which is where I stopped ) with the whole dark forest battle. It just kind of seems that the Erin's are kicking a dead horse now ngl.
I agree with a lot that was said in this video. They wrote a lot of the characters like Mothwing and Mistystar with two completely different characters than they had in the previous books. Mothwing is just super mean to Shadowsight, and Mistystar all of a sudden wants Mothwing to come back after sending her into exile for so long, but not letting the others back. Mothwing infuriated me in this arc, and it just makes me super upset how she just had a character flip. Like come on, she should know how it feels to be an outsider to the other medicine cats. Puddleshine and Tigerstar aren't helping the situation at all either. This book had me build resentment towards Mothwing, Tigerstar, Mistystar, and Puddleshine.
oh my god that Brashstar art is 👌 i swear Missy Dakota is the best also, through darkness within, i was really hoping for evil shadowsight. like that would’ve been so good. shadowsight is so desperate to to prove he’s not a murderer that ashfur can easily manipulate him “i’m the only one who can prove bramblestars alive, so you have to help me” and then shadowsight slowly starts trusting and even looking up to ashfur cause he’s the only one who doesn’t avoid him and the only one who acts like he understands him.
Yeah, but I'm kinda torn between this one. At one side, I'd love evil Shadowsight. It would fit very well with the plot. At the other side, I like Shadowsight how he is now. So I really can't decide.
We need more books about other clans. We mostly just stick with the perspective of Thunderclan. What about the other clans? That would be interesting to see other clans perspectives, In a different book Other than Thunderclan.
Here's an idea, in Graystripe's Vow the Moonstone was destroyed correct. Perhaps Ashfur during one of his rests went to the Moonstone and destroyed it to keep Graystripe from reaching StarClan.
Me: Oh ya Akira made a new video I was looking forward to this all week lets go! Akira: *Darkness Within spoilers ahead* Me: NOOOOOooooooo! I really need to buy that book. 😭
Hey Akira how about this. If Starclan are the guardians what are they guarding? I think they are the messengers as well as protectors but not the real power. If Ashfur cut the protectors of not only the living but the dead off he can take advantage of the real ghostly power that watches over the clans. Maybe that other worldly power Starclan gets their prophecies from may be connected to the Tribe or Rock. The clans come from the Tribe and Rock is the very first stone-teller ever. If Jayfeather can talk to Rock or maybe if they visit The Tribe and talk to their ancestors they can find a solution
Wow. Just wow! That’s a lot to take in! I can tell that warriors will probably never be the same as it was back in the power of three! I’m currently reading about needlepaw and alderpaw so that’s a lot for me lol
One thing that I really want to happen is that Rootspring tries to use and master the 'earth power' but isn't able to. He looks for answers and sees promise in one cat, none other than his sister Needleclaw! I really want this to happen because I want her to keep that character ark that happened in Darkness Within and not just fade into the background like most other characters. Edit- Also I wanted to add that my friend calls the Ashfur imposter A**fur which I love as it fits so well!
You know how even when he had cats rebel against him, they still in a way accepted him? My theory is that while he can completely control the dead, he can slightly emotionally manipulate living cats. Also as revealed in Place of no Stars he can also use the senses of his zombies. So the cats he can emotionally manipulate would have the same effect. That's how he knew about that Willowshine was coming to the Dark Forest and that Shadowsight was going off in the forest. But that's why he had so many followers when he was possessing Bramblestar and why Shadowsight let him escape. I also think that he lets some of the dead believe they are in control and he's just a voice in the back of their, like Snowtuft and Mapleshade, but can completely take over at anytime. This is also shown in Place of No stars as Snowtuft was leading Shadowsight to Ashfur, however it wasn't proven. And finally I think that he can control any animal. Also when he gets angry he can control living cats because he is essentially living as well. These are my theories.
I wonder what Firestar is gonna do when he gets anywhere near Ashfur. He seems like the kind of cat who wouldn’t want anyone to mess with his daughter . He would probably kill Ashfur the same way Hollyleaf did or Hollyleaf might just do that again.
I think that Spiresight quote is being misinterpreted. It was probably designed to be confusing, but with what we know now, I think I know what Ashfur was saying. Look at it like this: 'I won't be thwarted. You saved my life, and because of that, you have ensured my success. Because once I'm back to full health, I'll be able to bend any cat to my will...Just ask that skinny black cat with the yellow eyes.' At the time, what we thought it meant was that Spiresight told Ashfur he'd be able to do those things. But with what we know now, I think that Ashfur was hinting that he was already or was going to control Spiresight, perhaps as revenge for saving Shadowsight's life.

At this point the break up was around 10-13 years ago-
And ashfur the mage
Come on im not the only one thinking about that right?
Wait is Squirrelflight really that old?
I thought she was only 9years.
The break up was more like 7 years ago

so true tho
"well, ummmm we should get back together. Oh, you still have a boyfriend? Not for long!"
If I'm honest, that ghost scene freaked me out, but Ashfur putting other ghosts in Bramblestar's body to control Shadowsight was dark.
AGREED. My goodness that was freaky.
I thought the same thing! Though it is pretty cool, I'm glad they did something like that and not something childish.

@Just some random person on the internet S We need that
My cousins are watching it rn-
@@munchkinchalateo my mom and I are watching it right now!! (I've already watched it, but my mom and I are on book 3 now!!(
Me who just finished reading the book:
*Ah yes, theory time.*
At one point in the video. Listen closely. "They dont tell you" (The Squirrelflight song) is playing.
With all thats happening. Hearing the song definitely hits differently.
I love villain Ashfur so much,, unlike most villains, he's actually able to form a big threat, cause mass destruction, is unique because I'm pretty sure he's the ONLY starclan cat, and he seems like he suffers from slight trauma from he was alive.
I like to think that he developed his feelings of loneliness from emotional starvation from when he was alive, causing him to be able to feel lonely.
Even though his big plan isn't revealed yet he already had caused many destruction, man I'm so excited for this arc, i hope we get to see his secret plan unfold into something really cool!
Let's not turn this villain into what happened in the dark forest in the power of three shall we.
I would like this series to be the ‘epic ending’ if you will. I think that there should be a massive battle (ghost battle) and the ghosts will win. Think about it. If the cats win, against all odds, it would seem as if they are immune. Obviously I want the series to go on, but there will be super editions, manga, and other similar side-books.
I mean it could have ended with the omen of the stars( which is where I stopped ) with the whole dark forest battle. It just kind of seems that the Erin's are kicking a dead horse now ngl.
Okay I saw the thumbnail as the first thing in my recommendations when I opened RUclips and it SCARED ME.

I agree with a lot that was said in this video. They wrote a lot of the characters like Mothwing and Mistystar with two completely different characters than they had in the previous books. Mothwing is just super mean to Shadowsight, and Mistystar all of a sudden wants Mothwing to come back after sending her into exile for so long, but not letting the others back. Mothwing infuriated me in this arc, and it just makes me super upset how she just had a character flip. Like come on, she should know how it feels to be an outsider to the other medicine cats. Puddleshine and Tigerstar aren't helping the situation at all either. This book had me build resentment towards Mothwing, Tigerstar, Mistystar, and Puddleshine.
Did you actually ever like Mothwing or Tigerstar?
@@mrs.martinskindergarten5660 I liked Mothwing quite a bit, but I never liked Tigerstar
Me watching this video: I’m not even close to the broken code, I should stop watching
Me ten minutes later: screw it
oh my god that Brashstar art is 👌 i swear Missy Dakota is the best
also, through darkness within, i was really hoping for evil shadowsight. like that would’ve been so good. shadowsight is so desperate to to prove he’s not a murderer that ashfur can easily manipulate him “i’m the only one who can prove bramblestars alive, so you have to help me” and then shadowsight slowly starts trusting and even looking up to ashfur cause he’s the only one who doesn’t avoid him and the only one who acts like he understands him.
Yeah, but I'm kinda torn between this one.
At one side, I'd love evil Shadowsight. It would fit very well with the plot. At the other side, I like Shadowsight how he is now. So I really can't decide.
We need more books about other clans. We mostly just stick with the perspective of Thunderclan. What about the other clans? That would be interesting to see other clans perspectives, In a different book Other than Thunderclan.
Shadowclan and Riverclan would be interesting, too bad Riverclan's just boring now
But we have the perspective of other clans now?
We have it from Skyclan and Shadowclan.
@@atabout11pm Oh, sorry, just Riverclan then, their boring, give them some life
Yeah, they are. All of their cats are just cardboard pieces.
Here's an idea, in Graystripe's Vow the Moonstone was destroyed correct. Perhaps Ashfur during one of his rests went to the Moonstone and destroyed it to keep Graystripe from reaching StarClan.
That's a good idea 🤔
Me: Oh ya Akira made a new video I was looking forward to this all week lets go!
Akira: *Darkness Within spoilers ahead*
Me: NOOOOOooooooo! I really need to buy that book. 😭
Ashfur in the first arc: *literal cardboard cut out of a cat*
Ashfur now: "I AM YOUR NEW GOD"
Hey Akira how about this. If Starclan are the guardians what are they guarding? I think they are the messengers as well as protectors but not the real power. If Ashfur cut the protectors of not only the living but the dead off he can take advantage of the real ghostly power that watches over the clans. Maybe that other worldly power Starclan gets their prophecies from may be connected to the Tribe or Rock. The clans come from the Tribe and Rock is the very first stone-teller ever. If Jayfeather can talk to Rock or maybe if they visit The Tribe and talk to their ancestors they can find a solution
Akira about bristlefrost at the end: “she’s a little confused, but she’s got the spirit.”
YESSSS I'M ALWAYS SO EXCITED FOR YOUR VIDEOS!!! You're a goddamn queen
5:12 i think the dark forest knew how to use the power because thisleclaw used to be a star clan cat, until bluestar chased him out.
I don't think that was ever proven.
It's just a rumor, or a theory, that people made up because it is convenient to them.
That was a joke one of the authors said. Thistleclaw was never a starclan cat.
Meanwhile,firestar is sat in starclan: welp we messed up
wait so why did we choose Ashfur again?
@@bombintheseeinq because he volunteered...you think we should have sent lionheart
@@Howdyheyimokay didn’t any other cat volunteer?
@@bombintheseeinq no they were to busy being addicted to spottedleaf’s sweet scent
@@Howdyheyimokay even sandstorm? I understand how cats like Firestar was addicted.
Wow. Just wow! That’s a lot to take in! I can tell that warriors will probably never be the same as it was back in the power of three! I’m currently reading about needlepaw and alderpaw so that’s a lot for me lol
What if in the end, the way to stop Ashfur is by his inner loneliness.
This whole video is Akira showing of that amazing new drawing of bramble
Jeez missy at it again with the creepy Bramble art
BTW I love your channel!
One thing that I really want to happen is that Rootspring tries to use and master the 'earth power' but isn't able to. He looks for answers and sees promise in one cat, none other than his sister Needleclaw! I really want this to happen because I want her to keep that character ark that happened in Darkness Within and not just fade into the background like most other characters.
Edit- Also I wanted to add that my friend calls the Ashfur imposter A**fur which I love as it fits so well!
Anyone notice that the background music is the instrumental version of the 'This Moment' posted by Akira before?
hmm I guess thunderclan is playing among us rn lmao
You know how even when he had cats rebel against him, they still in a way accepted him? My theory is that while he can completely control the dead, he can slightly emotionally manipulate living cats. Also as revealed in Place of no Stars he can also use the senses of his zombies. So the cats he can emotionally manipulate would have the same effect. That's how he knew about that Willowshine was coming to the Dark Forest and that Shadowsight was going off in the forest. But that's why he had so many followers when he was possessing Bramblestar and why Shadowsight let him escape. I also think that he lets some of the dead believe they are in control and he's just a voice in the back of their, like Snowtuft and Mapleshade, but can completely take over at anytime. This is also shown in Place of No stars as Snowtuft was leading Shadowsight to Ashfur, however it wasn't proven. And finally I think that he can control any animal. Also when he gets angry he can control living cats because he is essentially living as well.
These are my theories.
Whoever did the bramblefur artwork is beast.
I just LOVE the Imposter’s design!
I can't wait to watch this after I read darkness within. I haven't gotten the book yet and I have to wait until christmas ;-;
Me too
That drawing of possessed bramble gives me the c h i l l s
I've been waiting for this video since the new book came out!! I was so excited to hear your theories on it, and I was not disappointed!!
RUclips has the *audacity* to notify me 2 minutes late >:[
It was very rude and notified me 57 minutes late
@@Feezee223 dang though. YT has dared notify me two hours late once. Sucks.
Wait, you got notifications???
@@TipOfTheSauce well yeah, since I’m subscribed to Akira.
@@FleurTears I'm subscribed and I have notifications set to all... still I only get like 20% of them
Oh my goodness you literally have spoken all my possible theories! I’m not going to be surprised if they use your theories in Warriors
Oh my goodness. Just switching tabs to this one, I saw the new Ashfur/Imposter design and it freaked me out at first. XD
"How can Ashfur be defeated?"
[Ghostbusters theme grows louder]
The thumbnail is so creepy! Nice vid!
I wonder what Firestar is gonna do when he gets anywhere near Ashfur. He seems like the kind of cat who wouldn’t want anyone to mess with his daughter . He would probably kill Ashfur the same way Hollyleaf did or Hollyleaf might just do that again.
Bright Guardian Akira when he found out Ashfur was the imposter:
I see no god up here *except me*
I miss the old books when talking badgers and spirit voodoo didnt exist
The zombie cats remind me of the avatar spirit being destroyed in LoK
@Just some random person on the internet S true
@Just some random person on the internet S That is a lot of effort for a reply appreciate it
You should make a video where is warrior cats was among us! It fits perfectly!
Jayfeather never wished he had his powers back more than now xD
Squirrelflight: **Gets called a "Mary Sue" for years**
Ashfur: *"Hold my freshkill"*
Mmmm the thumbnail is... *cheff’s kiss* tsk! Purrrfect!
Warriors Broken Code: *exists*
American horror story: enters chat
You're so entertaining ❤️
I think that Spiresight quote is being misinterpreted. It was probably designed to be confusing, but with what we know now, I think I know what Ashfur was saying. Look at it like this: 'I won't be thwarted. You saved my life, and because of that, you have ensured my success. Because once I'm back to full health, I'll be able to bend any cat to my will...Just ask that skinny black cat with the yellow eyes.' At the time, what we thought it meant was that Spiresight told Ashfur he'd be able to do those things. But with what we know now, I think that Ashfur was hinting that he was already or was going to control Spiresight, perhaps as revenge for saving Shadowsight's life.
i feel sorry for shadowsight, because how mothwing treats him.. like wtf
Ashfur is still my favorite.
Fight me.
i saw this video and i bought the book, read it in a day, and then watched it. This video is so insightful!
love you new intro! and yes my fav charicter is ashfur,squirrelFlight,brambleclaw and hollyleaf,lionblaze,and jayfeather!
This is realy getting interesting, I did not except Warrior Cats to do something like this
you should do more speed draw challenges.
I wish i could.
It'd be fun to watch since i finally have twitch!!
Always glad when akira posts analysis videos
I love Ashfur's design in these videos.
One of the first! I like this theory, and i love Dakotas art! great video
