Hey everyone, I've noticed a good chunk of questions about Part 4. For everyone that hasn't seen the stuff I've been tweeting about it, the cut-to-the-chase answer is that we are planning on getting the next video out this October. You can visit us on our Patreon page to get the specifics- www.patreon.com/MysteryBen
weird, I don't know why but I had the feeling of watching the video after almost a year without seeing it and I was very surprised to see such a recent comment XD
@@juanfarias5389 bro me too lmao
me too
Alright, here we go!
@@juanfarias5389 same here, super happy I just checked the comments.
Don’t you just hate it when a ghost that’s trying to kill you hacks your radio to play his mixtape
I mean its a pretty sick mixtape to be honest
That mixtape is so good the electronics in his arm blew out
But he's a pyrokinetic ghost. Cause that mix tape is FIRE.
(Also he's throwing literal actual fire everywhere help)
Raze 20 I mean it’s bopping
So relatable. I hate it when that happens.
Ghost : 2014
Freaking Out : 2016
Hellbent : 2018
We're almost there.
What theres a pattern?
Looks like we will "hopefully" see it this year.
yayy
yea boiiiiii owo
So close.
O FRICK
Mystery Skulls Animated: *leaves for years at a time*
Fans: "I'll wait for you, Baby".
Also: 2020 crossing my fingers for late this year.
I mean if the upload scheduled for the series is every other year. We got one in 2014, 2016, and 2018 so…

*w h e e z e*
I have a feeling lewis locked up all memory of Arthur being a good partner in crime and focused on revenge as he thought Arthur murdered him but in reality the green arm possed him corrupting his mind to get what it wanted. Still haven't figured out who the arm belongs to though as shiromori is blue, pink, purple and white in color not green
Dark Dragoness partner in crime?
@@schnoig_ they used to be friends in mystery cases basing off what I have seen and im guessing before Lewis became a skeleghost they used to get along
3:04 Lewis going from eternal rage to *"Wait what did I hit?"* is one of my favorite moments honestly
Cyndaquil :D in my mind it was more of a Dame that sounded expensive
@@jow6969 xD
Oh, they have names?
But yeah, good brush of levity.

@@jow6969 xD
Vivi's first reaction to a sadistic plant ghost attempting to scissor her dog to death is to grab the nearest weapon and whack her upside the head.
Her SECOND reaction is not to hold a ready stance, but to completely fangirl over the fact that freaky shit is happening to her.
Oh Vivi. Truly a paranormal nerd of the nth degree.
I think she may have just been heavily concussed, possessed by whatever entity we see with the sword, or both.
I didn't notice that before, thanks for pointing it out :D
@@Window_Hero
Concussion is out considering those usually don't make your eyes sparkle with pink lightning.
The idea that her ancestor's power is unconsciously protecting her is the best one I've heard.
ES21007 How do you know her name?

Also, I wonder if that magical seal "to proctect one's family" on the bat handle came from Grandma, or maybe Dad? Both look like they'd be slapping some spiritual stuff on weapons. mysterybensmysteryblog.tumblr.com/post/159626880238/due-to-popular-request-here-is-some-concept-art
YOU CAN'T JUST COME BACK AFTER TWO YEARS AND THEN LEAVE US ON SUCH A CLIFFHANGER??? HELLO?????
THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL????????
MOOD
Rendez-vous in 2 years
was very happ, now very confus and muy sad
I agree maz but you leave us hanging too!
tell me about it
debatin' between cryosleep or just ending it now lol
4:19 Just realized that one of Lewis's ghost buddies, the one leaning on the velvet rope, has a face as if he's thinking, "Dude, are we really going to do this to Arthur?"
8/10 Ghosts involved in Arthur's capture dont care what happens to him. One is even mildly glad about it. (Probably happy to see him)
Look at the top right corner, they are happy to be included
the one at the top is just vibin
I think the ghosts are supposed to signify Lewis' conscience and attitude. Their facial expressions in each scene they're involved in seem to evoke different emotions.
@@weirdo82 I recently noticed at 4:09 - when Arthur looks at Lewis - a bit of sweat forms on Lewis’ head. This could point to the idea that Lewis himself isn’t entirely sure about what he’s doing. Unless my interpretation is wrong, I think this could be the first glimpse we see of his doubts about actually going this far to get revenge. So, you could definitely be right about that.
4:44 The fact that Lewis's heartlock got darken and broken makes me believe that he finally knew Arthur didn't mean to murder him.
Holy wait they have a name shot can you tell me the rest?
@@pinkcicle5247
mysteryskulls.fandom.com/wiki/Lewis_Pepper
When it's an accident it's called manslaughter.
NN Kiwii that’s a locket with a picture of vivi in it. That’s why it broke when she left.
Sammy Tancos he got possessed
I love how Lewis is like: woah wtf did I just run over??
And the ghosts are like: ??
What makes it funnier, is that it contradicts the Lyrics uttered.
"I Don't give a Damn~"
*Lewis:* **Gives a Damn.**

Can we just talk about how the gunshot at the end leads right into the beginning of "The Future" when Arthur's uncle shoots Lewis right in the heart?? Such a good connection!!!!
It doesn't lead right into it, but still

2020! If we're lucky we'll see part 4 this year.
Literally came here to make this comment!
Your comment, not mine... in case that wasn't clear xD
I know I have been checking every day
Yes
It will be the best thing to happen in this year so far
if you pause just right at 4:08 and look at lewis's face you can see him go from pissed to "bro please don't scream, I want to murder you quietly"
😂😂😂
Lmao XD
SQUARE PIES me too
i see it
Lol!!
Ok but one thing I just realized is that arthur is thrown into Lewis' truck, which means what's happening probably isn't real, and Lewis just want Arthur to experience what he did when Arthur "betrayed" him, and now hopefully realised revenge doesn't really suit him, as we see with the broken heart.
@@Ganz_GZ_Sans thank you! The theories about Arthur dying really didn't make much sense to me unless they teleported, which I suppose is possible but seems a bit much. I like the idea that Lewis wanted Arthur to relive what happened in his place, without killing him.

3 years later and I'm only now realizing that they're all driving in the middle of the road, but I guess legality doesn't spring to mind when you're being chased by a ghost skeleton out for revenge and a plant monster woman out for your dog's blood
with *GIANT* scissors
*This is literally everything I wanted from Scooby Doo*
If only scooby doo wasn't for kids then we could of had something more bloody
Monster Cuevas Well not sure about bloody, But I can deafly say The only two Scooby Doo medias that came close to being more towards adults Was probably Zombie island And mystery Inc.
You wanted...Freddy to die?
Not freddy but at least someone to to die on screen
y’mean:
Fred who is dead alive and pursuing to kill the jealous Shaggy who was INLOVE with “Daphne and Velma mixed together” and killed him with Scooby who is white with red and black fur and also wears glasses?
noice.
“I know he’s trying to kill me and all but damn this is a good beat.”
L0N3R Always has been...
Even though my missing friend who happens to be a ghost who is now keeping me in a choke hold over the pit of spikes I pushed him in when I was possessed, I still gotta head bop to this fresh beat.
This could've been a jungle book reference.
It's gonna get real awkward if Arthur also becomes a ghost.
😂
Reaaaaalllllllll awkward
YOU KILLED ME. NO, YOU KILLED ME. I WAS POSSESSED. OHH
It’s gonna be like:
-._-. .-_.-
The HellHound *God how utterly stupid Lewis is going to feel if that happens*
Any1 notice that the tree woman is literally the whole forest in the flashback image around 3:33 with mystery in the branches, not to mention her roots are holding back the samurai warrior with her roots? from what I gather in her images is that Mystery found her as a flour in a dead forest, empowered her with his blood and made the forest thrive to which he resided in and protected it.
idk, just an observation
@daniel dias I would like to know

@@mikhailtunnell2304 Thank You
@@AmonWolven02 you're welcom
That's probably the best situation. It's actually the only one.
But now, after watching "The Future", I have to wonder, why is Mystery with ViVi (who we're assuming to understand is a descendant of the samurai (forgive me I forgot their name)), if Shiromori was essentially what he created and protected?
How'd he end up switching sides after fighting against what was attacking what he made?
I'm . . . REALLY hoping I get that answer, CAUSE I NEED IT
Still updates faster than Yandere Simulator.
Oh yeah that was a thing wasn't it XD
Oh my god I did not expect this comment
First Hellbend was realsed AFTER Yandere Simulator
@@m-2718 well you proved his point
Maybe you should try working on a game before you start taking -_-
*”...Lewis?”* That part gave me chills, he had no idea who that ghost was until now.
Arthur had his suspicions, though - remember the search map on his laptop in Freaking Out?
I thought he said "What?! " But then I realized he said "Lewis"
U GONNA TELL ME U DIDNT KNOW THAT WAS LEWIS
Really? -_-
And how you can see Lewis's heart break and the look of regret on his face after he dropped Arthur and realized Arthur didn't know it was him until then
Three things I learned from this video:
1. Ghost semi-trucks rule!
2. Arthur's dad runs a repair garage.
3. Sea turtle plush toys are adorable!
AnaxErik4ever uncle
Also vivis mother may have fought the bonsai tree lady at one point.
Don't forget Arthur is now dead. Or he is a good as well, but he needed to explain the whole situation before getting dropped off the cliff. Maybe we can get an actual story with vocals next time. We got a sigh. Maybe voice lines next time. One is all it takes to her the story moving
...okay how did people find out names and stuff I've only been following the story line here and though it is FRACKING BOSS, I ain't seen any names or stuff like that so I've been piecing the story together from the videos alone. Is there something somewhere that explains it in much clearer detail? I'd love to read it even if sadly a bunch of the mystery disappears.
Another thing: I think that dog is responsible for Lewis losing his arm :(

The fact I can basically hear them mouth "Lewis" just makes me. H n g . The feels. They're too strong.
I know right? You know you're attached to a story when you don't need to even actually _hear_ a character say something to still get the full emotional brunt of it anyway
That part honest to god sent chills up my spine
A h mood
I don't want to sound like a crazy overzealous fan, but I've been through the fandom to the point that I practically heard him say it in his fan-established _voice_ with his little voice crack and everything. It hurts and yet I love it so much!
The fact when they show what is happening to all the main characters after Lewis drops Arthur, Lewis has a 'oh god what have i done' face is even moRE FEELS

@@MysteryBen27 well played
XDD a great video nonetheless, well done
MysteryBen27 does that mean that a p4 is, in a sense, confirmed? Because you can't leave us like this :p
3:55 she's blushing. That's straight up rage mixed with jealousy
Also Mystery is like "well... hehe" behind Vivi
4:09 Lewis kinda gives Arthur a look like ‘dude stop screaming, your making this awkward’
these people have names? where did they come from?
Gavin Preising Lewis is the ghost, Arthur is the orange haired dude, Vivi is the blue haired girl, Mystery is the doggo, and Lance is the guy with the shotgun (Arthur’s uncle)
Alpine Ripcord And the white-“haired” tree woman after Mystery’s blood (literally, if her expression when she opened Mystery’s cheek is anything to go by) is called Shiromori.
Kristopher Shepard thanks I kinda blanked on her name
Alpine Ripcord No problem. If it helps, the name means ‘white forest’ in Japanese.
When Arthur mouths Lewis at the end! Ahhhh I can't even handle this story anymore
I can't either! Look at how sad Lewis looks afterwards too... How can we all handle this?
These guys be talking about Cliffhangers and 2-3 years without considering the hardwork done in making this.
Everybody understands that it takes 2-3 years PRECISELY because these require so much hard work. Well, I hope so, anyway...
;-; yea *sniff* sure i can wait ( I'm going to graduate from high school next year ._.)
literally everyone understands. it's a joke.
Well, I'm just saying that you musn't rush art.
It at least takes a 9 months or even 1 year to complete an episode of family guy. and I've seen TH-camrs animations longer and done quicker within these 2 years and some of them make. Movies e.g. the lion king only toke two years don't give the but Disney is a company so it's different NO it's not these guys have other people too working on it too they are just lazy or there busy with something else. so boom
I JUST noticed that Arthur's eyebrows are little hearts.
The quality keeps going up but so does the wait lol
^^^^^^^^
I've just randomly stumbled upon this. What the heck is going on?
Worth it!
The Pokemon Encyclopedia Want to know the entire storyline? (What I know of it) Or are you asking a different question? ^^
@@honeytabbies
I have no idea. I've heard of Jack because of Manga Kamen but I only know the name. So yeah no clue about anything. Plz help
The fact that you can tell he's saying "Lewis" at 4:35 without audio is amazing
Also noticed Lewis's heart was shattered at the end
@@wizzardog3335 that broke my heart
Move it

Who dis
Moo hit
Oof eh?
His mouth made the "Ooo" and "eh" shapes. Lip reading isn't a perfect skill. A lot of it hinges on priming your brain to the word or phrase. It's easier if you know lot's of metaphors. The hard consonsonants and ssss sounds are also hard to make out.
@@DecafInvidia
Actually,
I put speed on x0.25, and saw, that his lips was also like saying 'L' at the beginning, and 'S' at the end.
and
@@sul41m The L shape can also be the D shape the S shape can also be the hard E shape etc... But yeah if you know the word beforehand it's easier to read. It's just a lot more difficult because it's a name but I see what you mean.
I just noticed at 4:20 one of the ghosts meant to scare Arthur isn’t trying to scare him, instead he just looks real sad like he feels bad for Arthur or fees bad for what he has to do
Lewis alwais have a sad ghost yo can see it here and in frealimg out. 3 ghost, one mad and angry, othe happy, and this sad.
SombraOscura 22 yes I noticed this eventually and forgot I even commented this but still thank you :D
And theres also one happy ghost chillin at the top
He’s also there at 2:23
then there's the one in the corner just minding his own business being happy
Mystery leaning into the head pat was just adorable.

Not liking because I wanna keep 666 likes in your comment. Though, I had exactly same thoughts at moment the video came out
New misty skulls comes out this year, wah ho
Poor Lewis, he's so conflicted with his feelings. He knows what he's doing is not gonna change anything and is wrong but anger and revenge is a hell of a motivator. The instant realization of what he's doing at 4:44 .
@@thinkingboi9508 because we have culture
@@FBIAgent-ib1jg this is the best culture you get nothing can top it. And if anyone says otherwise they might just disappear
@@slutforpotetoes2993 wise words. It would be terrible if someone woke up with a sore throat accompanied by a slight fever.
I think his realization was the fact that Arthur never knew where Lewis was all this time since he was possessed when he murdered Lewis, so his sudden realization of who the skull guy was showed that Arthur didn't know about or even remembered that he was the one that pushed Lewis into the pit.
Omae wa mo shindeiru
4:43 the moment Lewis lets go of Arthur, his heart cracks and turns grey.. it's so... *heartbreaking*
I SEE WHAT U DID THERE
. . . DID YOU JUST!
Take my like and try not to again
Idk but,what does that mean then?
@@ethand9358 probably that those three have been looking for him because they probably dont know what happen then he possibly finds out at the end that he didnt meant to kill him (dont quote menon this)
Now that The Future is released, we get a way bigger picture about the relationship between Mystery and Shiromori
Looking back at the flashing images, we see Mystery looming over (and by extension dripping his own blood on) a white flower
Now, if we take Shiromori’s literal thirst for blood when it comes to Mystery, the newest video confirms the fact that Shiro and Mystery do in fact have a history, and an interesting one indeed
Wayverlee Soulsong Rewatched them just to watch the newest release
@Alfonzo Quiroz Could be. I mean, it appears that she was a whole forest once.
@Alfonzo Quiroz I also think it has something to do with him living as a dog. He had 9 tails in the backstory and only six in ghost. In The future we also see a new tail appear, at least that's what it looks like. So maybe it has something to do with that
@Alfonzo Quiroz I think it's interesting that the blue and white ones have a little bandage over it, which is probably the history with the two, and probably that he got over it. Maybe thos streams give him the tails back? He appeared to get one when the blue one burst
That cliffhanger physically hurts (it also would make a kickass desktop wallpaper)
0:39 that's the best thing they've animated throughout this entire series
that wholesome moment will keep me going til the next installment
Well, i could argue Arthur at the end over the cliff had better animation, i did like what they did here.
I'M SO HAPPY
GELOXX I DIDNT KNOW YOU LIKED MYSTERY SKULLS OMG YOU'RE THE BEST
S-SENPAI????
IKR WHEEEZEEEEE
IT ANSWERS ALL OF MY QUESTIONS
@@galaxydragons6244 IKR AAAAAA 😭
I adore how expressive they get with Lewis’s eyes. Since he doesn’t have a mouth, you really have to dramatize the eyes and they did that PERFECTLY!
Also, might’ve just been a coincidence but dead Lewis only has eyes to show emotion while alive Lewis(or what we see of him in flashbacks) only has a mouth.
Next episode is scheduled in October 2020! Please look forward becoming a Patreon to help the Ghost Team

IKR!!
I keep seeing this. Like, I know they dont talk and stuff but you would think for that moment they would put a voice there. What if Arthur is mute? I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this but come on, I cant be the only one to think this.
I don't think that's true at 4:07-4:09 and from 2:43-2:46 and from 3:10-3:14
you can see that Arthur is screaming
it just isn't voiced 'cuz they aren't doing voices
plus, the music for the video also has voices, so you dont know if it would be the music or the people in the video
Dude wot
God tier work!
Hey saber
:0 !
Yooooo!
I didn't know you watched these.
Huh.
Too true!
P.s. your analysis videos are amazing 😁
I just noticed that there’s at least one ghost that is sad. All of the ghosts are a part of Lewis, so there’s a part of him that is upset or thinking “should I be doing this?” But since the majority of him is hell bent on revenge, it doesn’t get heard.
There's also one in the same scene that's just smiling in the top right, meaning he's mainly extracting revenge, but is also happy to see Arthur and yet saddened by his betrayal.
You left us on a cliffhanger that is LITERALLY a guy hanging over the edge of a cliff?! ... you magnificent bastards...
lol you right
More like falling but yeah
"Cliffhanger, hanging from a cliff! And that's why he's called Cliff-Hanger."
"Can't. Hold-on. much. Longerrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Judging by the gunshot, the Truck-stop owner interfered.
That bastard
Everyone talking like "oh we waited so long" 'n stuff.
Boi, if it means getting stuff this good I can wait for like, a few more years. This is top-notch stuff.
Same
Yes! Same!
It’s worth the wait!
Yeah I’ll wait, but Arthur!!!! I neeed to know what happens to him!!
Yeah, seriously, this is gold, and this one is better than the last one, and that one was better than the first one. They are all amazing, but you FEEL the improvements. I NEED a show like this, full of story and mystery, songs done by Mystery Skulls. I will wait however long it would take to see more of these.
1000 years later....
a little longer I can wait for the next vid
I love how Lewis runs over something and is just like "aw crap" but doesn't care after a few seconds.
rip **louis**
lewis* louis is in family guy and is a girl
r/woooooosh
One detail that I like upon rewatching these, is how one of Lewis's ghosts has a look of concern throughout hellbent. They know what's coming and they don't like it
*OH GOD THE CLIFFHANGER IT HURTS*
It literally hurts omg

MysteryBen27 *I CANT WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT VIDEO 10/10*
Anyone else noticed the characters don't start bouncing until the music starts?
that's how they detect danger in that universe.
*Head starts bouncing*
Oh no
@@PrismLight5 something is wrong.
My music-sense is tingling.
Yeah pretty cool
Why are they so attractive when they walk towards the camera
It scares me
Yeah... *looks at Lewis* ....When they *walk* ( I know how you feel, that whole sequence is one of my favorite parts)
I just realized Arthur's eyebrows are hearts.
Edit: HIS EYEBROWS ARE LITERALLY HEARTS IN EVERY FRAME- I-
If you played this video at 1.25 it becomes so smooooooooth
I bet that Arthur's voice will be just like shaggy
Same here i just was about to comment that
Around 4:43 if you pause at certain points you can see that Lewis' eyebrows make a gesture that can be interpreted as confused.
Now why would he show a confused expression? It could be that when Arthur mouthed/uttered Lewis' name right before he dropped him, it may have taken him by surprise. This is seen by how Lewis' left (our left) eyebrow raises up slightly higher than the right side, which is commonly used to express confusion. Arthur uttering his name evoked surprise and confusion.
My interpretation is: Lewis was confused that Arthur was shocked to find out who the ghost haunting him was. A little stretch here, but maybe Lewis thought that Arthur knew that the ghost was him all along; however, Arthur displays an expression of shock that indicates that he did not know. This in turn can indicate to Lewis that Arthur does not remember his death/murder.
A counter to my interpretation is that Lewis was simply expressing regret, because he has committed an act of murder equivalent to what Arthur did to him. Thus he grieves over the fact that he has become just like the person who betrayed him.
@@AkkinAnimrac Good theory.
Vivian: Uh me and my dog are being approached by this tree psychopath lady with GIANT SCISSORS help anyone???!
Lewis: Sorry Viv I gotta go kill Arthur, bye!
She have Mystery and Arthur's uncle (i think) she'll be okay
Where is the hamster?
Looks WAY more like Arthur's dad. Like they look way too much alike not to be father and son.
is actually Arthur's uncle...
Lewis thirst for revenge overcome his love for Vivi.
That's how you know just how pissed off he is.
Ghost Logic.
in 4:39 Arthur says "Lewis?" in this scene.
And as people are pointing out, All ghosts are representations of Lewis' emotions and feelings for revenge. And that theres only one ghost that isn't happy with it, which is the sad ghost, if you didn't already know..
and we see that feeling of questioning and sadness just right after Lewis let goes of Arthur
[ 4:43 ] lmao. just a thought.
i didnt notice till my sister paused the video at that part
I thought I was the only person that can imagine him saying Lewis! :0c
I'm seeing this again and I just noticed something
If we look closely at Shiromori's flashbacks, we will realize that Mystery found her still blooming in a forest of NOTHING, just dry trees, she being the only thing to sprout there.
Shiromori is "White Forest", so when she moves from a flower to a beautiful forest of white and blue trees, we have Mystery living with her and possibly killing invaders
Maybe Mushi (ice ninja warrior) traveled there to find out what was happening and maybe end the deaths that occurred in a dreaded white forest, then she meets kitsune
Shiromori must have been angry and feeling scorned when she saw the only one in the world she knew, lived with and possibly loved, leaving her behind. Not being the first time, as we see in The Future.
Well, that's what I fought after seeing The Future, thanks if you read so far, it must not have been easy.
Now let's wait two more years for the next episode.
Maybe the lady caused him to grow the forest by attacking him
nah we can see when Vivi hits Shiromori's heart Mystery looks panicked and heartbroken and another wound opens up in his heart bleeding out white which goes with Shiromori's coloring
If a new Mystery Skulls comes every two years. We should have one this year
I hope lol
October if I remember well
Rox yes you are right
Here's hoping, oh wow
If you scroll to the top of the comments (where MS updated their comment) they did say the release will be sometime in October
idk if yall have noticed but lewis starts having these tiny moments of regret, somewhat hidden. the fact he lets arthur start driving before he can run him over or catch up (while this could just be for a chase, lewis also seems annoyed to have to chase after arthur). his expression right before he throws arthur into the truck. the one deadbeat that isnt laughing, but rather looks sad/worried/afraid.
he's been doubtful/worried deep down this whole time, but he's buried it under layers of "no, i want revenge."
I think he purposefully stopped his car to kill Arthur because if he would have just hit them he would probably kill Vivi too, but I agree with everything else, it seems Lewis is letting hatred control him.
Then at the end he regrets hate/revenge being in control
On 4:44 you can see the heart that’s usually a bright orange become cracked and grey
Right near the end, as the 5 panels shift in, if you frame by frame the scene, you can definitely see Lewis' heart being a bright gold and slowly changing to how it was when in Ghost. A ghostly blue with just a bit of cracks but still life in it and then that color slowly but surely fades to a charcoal grey and almost looks like it's about to shatter with no life in it. He thought he wanted revenge and was stuck on that notion. In that split second, he realized his mistake and is now even more heartbroken than before because he didn't understand that what happened wasn't within Arthur's control. I really can't wait for the next part.
Patpat that’s a over complicated version of what I said
Arthur: “Lewis?”
Lewis: wait
S Parker is that a Hamilton reference
Truce Truce I LOVE HAMILTON
"If you love me you'll let me gooooo"
@@ItsMeThatGamer LMAO XD
i legit cried at that part.
I love how he INSTANTLY regrets dropping him
I love right before that you can see Arthur mouth the words Lewis
@@Stuffed-gameryeah he remembers lewis
but blue hair(i forgor her name) doesn't remember
I'VE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS HOLY SHIT
Lovely Lauren *S A M E*
EXACTLY also hi lauren
LAUREN WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE SEMPAI!?
Funny seeing you here, but a welcome surprise.
Ikr
Did anyone else notice the improvement with colors and lightning. It looks so good!!
And sound effects
2 years that’s why.
Between the first two was a one year gap aswell. No big differences. :) that’s why I pointed out how beautiful this one looks.
the animation gets better and better every time, and the characters get more depth this time
SO, I just saw Mystery Skulls in concert and he said that he is HOPING to have Part 5 come out in October!
Everyone out here freaking out over the lorebombs and the cliffhanger and who got shot/impaled
I'm just here with Arthur pushing through his fear to comfort Mystery and Mystery returning the comfort
This is good. This is good.
Fear of what by the way? Read the MSA thingy on tumblr
Oh that's right, Arthur's Uncle had a shotgun and could have shot Shiromori or Mystery. I didn't even think of that shot possibly being part of the story.
Right???? I so adore the complexity of these relationships. Goddd, so worth the wait. I'm so excited to see them delve even deeper in the last two parts, ahhh!
I didn't see it till 4 hours after release and literally jumped out of pure excitement
I mean, you'd be scared of petting Mystery too if he ripped your arm off. Kind of a traumatic experience, yo.
If you look at when Lewis drops Arthur, his heart immedietly turns gray and cracks, he also has a look of guilt on his face. I predict Lewis will save Arthur after seeing him say "Lewis?" and that will be the start to the next video.
I REALLY DO HOPE SO
I think that will be the man from the station with smoking gun. He looks like Arthur's family aaand there was a gun shot at the end. I hope that shooted person wasn't Lewis ;-;
(Sorry for my English ^^')
@@Gabriela-ku8iy You're correct - that is Arthur's uncle. The place they crashed into is Arthur's job and home - Kingsman Mechanics.
@@Gabriela-ku8iy
It was most likely not Lewis nor Auther since they are in the cave. It though could be either Shiromori or Mystery
(It's okay! It's really good! ^^)
I honestly thought that Arthur said "oh shit" when seeing Lewis but i can't read lips very well so eh
So Vivi is the reincarnation of an Ice Samurai that fought Mystery as Nine-tails in the past (that one samurai head underneath him says he killed quite a bit before she came). Ben appears to have given his blood to a flower that I assume grows to be flower stalker so he gave it life and they were cohorts once upon a time. Vivi fighting him eventually caused Mystery to turn good and followed her, which might've caused flower stalker to hate Vivi for turning him good (as we can see by the stunned, "It's her?!"/"You are still serving her?!" and immediate attempt to murder Vivi with bigger shears and Mystery's awkward, "Yeah, small world, right?" shrug).
"You make me strong!" and "All I need is you (Come Hither motion from flower stalker)" is pretty interesting too. She definitely wants him to come back to her.
Poor Arthur though, spending all that time searching for Lewis only to find out the ghost that was trying to kill him was Lewis all along, you can even see him saying, "LEWIS?! 0_0" there. I wonder if Lewis was looking so regretful/confused (his heart is cracked and grey again!) because of the way Arthur said his name, Arthur must've put his, "I've been looking everywhere for you and you were the one following us this whole time?!" in that Lewis.
So much lore in this one video, I love it.
Seems kitsune Mystery made blood offerings to Shiromori until she blossomed into a grand forest. Warriors would enter the legendary forest to battle the kitsune within. Many would die and strengthen the forest with their blood. Only Vivi's ancestor bested the kitsune in battle. Mystery was in servitude to her family and left the forest after that... The forest (Shiromori) didn't like that.
And YES. Lewis finally realized Arthur was innocent all along and the grudge was misplaced. Arthur's was actually possessed by a green eyed demon in the cave! Lewis needs to break the illusion before he kills Arthur so they can find the demon that *really* started this tragic rift between the two of them. Stupid thing scurried away from the cave at 0:10 of Freaking Out...
Great theories
I actually think the flower was Mystery and the larger fox was the witch. It doesn't look like any showing of mysterie's fox from so far and the colir scheme is closer to the witch. Also the flower is the same color as mystery's peddles.
Connor Schultz The forest is the same color scheme and has thr same flowers as Shiromori so that theory is debunked
Diamond1234 How do you know the names?
WHO'S HERE BECAUSE PART 4 IS OUT TONIIIIIIIGHT?
ME WOOOO
SAMEE

Wrapped around the handle of the bat is an "omamori", a Japanese protection charm.
The type is 家内安全 (kanai-anzen), for "the safety of my family".
makes sense, since i doubt a common bat could hurt a powerful being like shiromori.
Where is it?all i see is the bats leather handle and stuff.
Edit:nvm
She has all sorts of mystical looking stuff in the back of the van odds are at least some of it is legit.
Ah, an Avali, I see you are a man of culture.
Heh, good eye, not many people recognize that.
Ok let me get this straight, you created an entire fandom of at least 7 million people with only three videos, as well as creating an amazing story, animation, and characters, you are one absolute unit my good sir!
no to mention that "Mystery Skulls" the band actually tout these as the official music videos
The reproductions counts everyone's replay... That's why music videos have more """"views""" than anything else in TH-cam, we are a lot, but not 7M
I dont get it is there lore and how can i learn more?
I'd say the fandom number is closer to the 289k of likes than to the 7.9M views
@@georgemihaila8012 There's a Mystery skulls wiki where you can learn a bit more of the background story. Also, Mysteryben has a tumblr and twitter where you can find sketches and other stuff. Be sure to check it out!
God, I just rewatched this
Still get chills every time
Rylee Wilson it’s been a year now since this vid came out. Our wait may be over soon
@@rtio Ben said on Twitter it's scheduled to come out October of next year
hope harper had no idea. Thank you!
Every time I rewatch this and see Arthur mouth 'Lewis' gives me chills every time.
Turtle worshiper and him falling probably to his death and Lewis regret
“Every Note” playing at the beginning is incredible :>
Geeze Lewis, did you really miss the evil tree yokai trying to murder your girlfriend?!
I think he's so blinded by rage and vengeance he doesn't notice much else right now.
exactly
Actually
(I didn't knew his name, is it Louise?)
@@legguchan *Lewis
He was also very pointedly at the front of the van, while she was at the back.
I keep seeing the sad little ghost and keep thinking that it thinks this isn’t a good idea lol. It looks so sad
Not to get super deep but I think the ghosts are his emotions/subconscious
ex: in the first truck scene he's feeling three main emotions: intrigue of the extent of his powers, excitement for the revenge he will get, and worry for what he's gonna do. Then there are all the ghosts when he throws him into the truck which are mostly malicious and content but there is a worm of despair.
that's actually me watching everything unfold
rainbowkitty, Yes! thats what i'm thinking to!
I feel like those pink things at 4:19 are lewis' conscience, notice how most of them through each episode are always with an evil smile, but there's always at least one with a worried face, probably Lewis low-key forgiving him but is overshadowed with hatred and vengeance
nah, they are the backup singers
Deadbeats are Lewis's Memories of the MS.
I think that is a reasonable statement
What about that one just smiling at the top (not a evil smile just a normal smile)
Grim Flower
Happy to 'exist' again? Even if just a specter? Happy to see his Girlfriend.... a chance to be with her again. Can infer a few things. They could certainly all represent a torrent of emotions.
Something that I just noticed is that Lewis's expression changes slightly before he throws Arthur into the truck. His eyes sorta soften and If you look closely there's a bear of sweat on his brow? Like he's wondering if he should go through with his revenge.
I just thought it was an interesting detail.
I thought that was an expression that said “Don’t look at me like that”
Maybe a bit annoyed that he started screaming?
Ghost=2014
Freaking out=2016
Hellbent=2018
And we must Wait until 2020 ;-;
*sCreeCh* *I Can'T wAit thAt lOnG-*
Yay my graduation present
My heart can’t take the suspense
What am I going to do until than knowing that that home boy and girl are probably going to die cause a friend and a random flower person and the dog about to fight that flower person
Purple/Pink ghost boi:Lewis
Orange dude:Arthur
Blue girl:Vivi
Doggo:Mystery
Casey Animates thank you for clarifying for me
I've notice something: one of lewis ghosts is always looking sad when lewis is chasing arthur or gets to him for revenge..now that at the end of the video we saw lewis heart shatter even more after he drops arthur (and finally getting his revenge). I belive that the ghost somehow represent lewis emotions and thoughts and that (maybe) a part of lewis knew that there is something fishy with the fact that arthur killed him. Maybe this one sad ghost was the small voice in the back of lewis head that knew that something was wrong and killing arthur would be wrong as well. At the end when lewis drops arthur in the pit and arthur shows that he didn' knew that lewis was dead the realization hit him hard and his heart shattered to the horroble thing he did to his best friend.
But why did he keep vivi oblivious to the situation? Is it because of jealousy or fear that she finds out what happened?
xoLoveTruelySucksxo Probably fear.
Then what's that little smiling ghost in the corner at 4:19? The one with the happy little smile? It's so cute. XD
I just love how Lewis has the biggest “WAIT SHIT” face I’ve ever seen. But yeah, the ghosts seem to be consistent with his emotions. Which is definitely cool.
xoLoveTruelySucksxo yeah if you look in the first video with it shooting off to her eyes with the power, likely given her position she saw him slam down and not wanting to see his love be broken by the image and likely his last thoughts being between the ‘betrayal’ of his best friend and his desire to protect his love he sealed her memory away and locked it away... along with his vengeance which awoke on his changing
