The banners in the background say "end of an era". The restaurant Waldo met Detective at was called "fine dei tempi", which translates to "end of time". The alphabet soup also had the words "end of time" hidden in there. I can't say what, but there is _grave_ significance to the timer running out in this part.
There are two ways we can interpret this; 1. His favourite toy doesn't wanna play his games anymore so he's surrendering(?) to gain his attention 2. He's about to do some Geneva suggestion
Man, this randomly appeared in my Shorts (lol?) and now I'm hooked. The art style is bonkers, and warping such a classic childhood icon into some other-dimensional, quizzical, mass-murderering monster has me intrigued. Looking forward to his next move!
Since I haven't seen it in the comments, I'll leave my interpretation here: The detective is intentionally not finding Waldo. While clearly watching still, he's refusing to acknowledge him as found and simply waiting to see what he'll do if he's never confronted or approached like he has done before. It also falls hand in hand with Waldo's last claim that the restaurant was the last time they would "meet." I think this is implied by the very long timer counting all the way down with no location being chosen like normal. Waldo wants to be approached, but isn't receiving that.
The sound effect and glare at the end, it almost makes him surrendering look as if hes "catching himself", thereby forcing the detective to acknowledge him.
@@Noobinator_X I personally interpreted it as he's raising his hands as if to appear he's going to do something bad to force the detective to "find" him. But who knows? What's wild is this while series is 13 minutes or so long so far and there's so many questions looming.
I may have an idea: When waldo said this would be the last time they meet to me it ment it is the last time we see where waldo now its some kind of different one but who knows this is just a theory.
If he just turned himself in, it would completely destroy the detective. No great revenge. No outsmarting the Eldritch man. He will have never actually defeated Waldo. Waldo would have won. And there would be nothing he could do about it
This series has me in the edge of my seat every upload, Waldo was my favorite growing up and seeing you turn him into a horror icon AND the villain of a detective thriller? WHAT!?
In the 13 post (episode?) lump said there were three parts left and that this would end on a cliffhanger aka there are two more wheres waldo posts till end cliffhanger
He's not even tryijg to hide any more. Because he knows you can't do anything even if you do find him. He's taunting. Gloating. He wants you to know just how hopeless it is to play this little game. You never really did have a chance. You only found him because he WANTED you to find him.
Waldo has had his fun, his favorite toy broken beyond repair. After playing with his life, he decided it’s time to say goodbye. “Say, detective,” he says in that grating voice, “you were the best one yet!” The smug grin never fades from his face. “Really, this has been the most fun I’ve had, I’m almost sad to end it.” A cruel mimicry of sorrow passes over his gaze. Perhaps it’s the closest to human emotion he can express, but even if genuine it felt more mocking than his laugh. The detective, through everything he’s faced, was never a match for Waldo. He knew it, Waldo knew it, but never once did he regret doing everything he could to bring the bastard down. With a shrug and a patronizing pat on the shoulder, Waldo stood looming over the man. “Say hi to the Mrs for me!” He shouts while holding his cane high above his head and laughing manically. Unbeknownst to either, there was a spectator that finally decided to speak up. From his left Waldo could hear the only voice to ever send a shiver down his spine. The only person who could dismantle the faux-reality he had created. “Hey, Waldo, Michael here.” A chipper voice called out from the shadows. Sharp footsteps rang out as he came close to the two other men, face slowly illuminated by the artificial streetlights. He stops a few feet from the attempted execution, eyes boring into Waldo. “What does it mean to die?” (I am so sorry but I can’t help but imagine him coming in like it’s the avengers lol)
I'm guessing after Wanda's death, Waldo decided to let the Detective stew for a while before returning to finish his job. That hand motion was Waldo checking if he's still got a grip on his powers, after three years of lying low and not using them. But hey, that's just a theory, a Flesh Boiling theory!
Remind me of indie game parasite inside person going through everything with one hand only and a little of MORTIS and funny if life is blader gate video. Defy drawing over real people moment with high frame or possible over 3D model
The orchestra tuning in the back with Waldo raising his hands to begin conducting is so good, really gives the sense that this is the beginning of the end. (reminds me of a scene in hunterxhunter also)
I've really got to hand it to you, Lumpy. As weird and confusing as your Where's Waldo series is, I'm absolutely amazed by your creativity with each and every episode. I'm hooked enough to keep looking forward to the next one!
From what we know so far from the other 13 parts, I highly, highly doubt that. And Waldo didn't have a sad or regretful appearance in this like he wants to right the wrongs. He's looking completely manic and holding back laughter.
Also, he has space-time warping powers, so shy of a science based counter I don't see how you could ever stop him. My guess is it's a joke he's doing with this. Even if the entire city police swarmed him he could just TP. Or if they tried to take him out quietly, it would never work because he can see into the future, at least to some meaningful degree. Probably not omnipotent but still knows things about space and time.
“Where’s Waldo? Why detective, I’m right here! What could I possibly do to hurt you? There’s no need to stare!” “Besides, you should be looking for the others instead.”
*Fun Waldo Facts:* In the hunting community, it is a well known strategy to *camoflauge* with your surroundings *to sneak up on* something or *someone* *from behind.* Next time you do a "Where's Waldo," you should consistently *look behind you.*
The hardest part of these videos is waiting for the next one. It's a more compelling story and universe than anything that's come out in the last decade.
Hear me out: The Detective's colleague is Jr. The Detective didn't have the resolve needed to join the Science division and catch Waldo after the loss of his wife, but Jr isn't hindered by that. He found a way back in time, but the jump wasn't big enough -- it didn't give them enough leeway to change the past. So he's asking his father for help finishing what he started. They need one more jump, and this time, with the person who's had the most experience facing Waldo.

The perfect crime. If the police think they arrested Waldo, the detective will never have peace.
Truth is he could have committed countless atrocities that have yet to happen and only Waldo will know
Bro you actually predicted what happens in the next episode lol
also there's 5 of them and the only arrested 1
