I feel so bad for Henry... gets talked into going to a workshop he left 30 years ago by a old friend and getting stuck in the same loop over and over and over again that never ends and leaving his daughter and wife to try and fix this and (knowing that he's dead) can never see them again cuz your stuck in a cartoon reality that never ends that's really sad :(
It's like when alice said "every time I follow the map I just start again,it's just like a circle" so prob Alice could be Alice Angel but is seeking for freedom
I have a theory of my own, well, more of an add on. When Joey finally dies, the loop ends. Everyone is freed. This is JOEY'S world. HIS studio. If he dies, the studio dies with it. It's that simple.
Well yeah since the studio Henry is trapped in is a cartoon reality, an idea that Joey made up it would make sense that that idea would die with him. Maybe Joey just wants the loop to go on for as long as possible because he's a sadistic psychopath
I feel like Henry was supposed to become the second bendy, similar to how Tom and Alison became Boris and Alice. Bendy was supposed to catch him in chapter 1, but couldn't because of the boards blocking him. Thus, Henry gets trapped in the cartoon world as the only non-ink human, which leads to bendy hunting him. The reason he respawns when he dies. is cause cartoon logic keeps him alive, but since he isn't a toon like the others, when the end plays, the machine can't stop it him in, so it just restarts. The only way for Henry to stop the loops, is to enter the smaller ink machine and become the next bendy, while in the bigger ink machine, and then play the end reel, which I think is what Joey tried to tell him in the audio log. then that would either end the loops and free everyone, or it would simply end, and their suffering would at least be over.
It seems that Henry was supposed to be the original bendy but never made it. Henry created these characters and loved them so he would be the perfect candidate for the bendy position.
@malouka23 - FNAF, Roblox, Minecraft, And More! Henry was able to defeat the ink demon as a human, become one with the ink would make that task a lot easier.
@@newslenderarts I wasn't saying that. I was saying blood can be black, but that doesn't mean people with black blood aren't cartoons or have ink for blood, at least I think black blood is possible, because I am not really sure but I know I at least have black blood and am human.
Another detail I missed on my first playthrough was that, on his desk in his living room, Joey has the entire game storyboarded: from the Projectionist to Alice strapping Boris to the table. So I 100% agree that Joey was a liar who manipulated people into doing his twisted bidding, but I don't think he ever hoped Henry would stop Bendy for good. I think he had accepted that Bendy as the world knew him was over, but used the Cycle and its twisted origins to his advantage and perpetuated the loop in order to have new stories to tell. Each time Henry shows Bendy the End, that's a wrap on one cartoon... and the beginning of another.
I think to stop the loop is Leave everyone alive? P.S I know how to get Bendy’s secret scream from Chapter 1 1. die in Chapter 2 or 3 2. Quit to the main menu when you are in the inky abyss 3. Go back to chapter 1 4. Get Jumpscared by Ink Bendy
Wait. It says ‘30 years really slips away’ on the workshop invite. Henry would have had to be around 20 to work in the workshop but Henry doesn’t sound and speak like a 50 year old. This could be more proof that he is dead
I think Henry and Joey are the same person with multiple personalities. The Henry personality was repressed 30 years ago so Joey could take over and build the empire. I think Joey drew is Henry’s pen name. Per your point...in his mind he still views Henry as the 20 year old because that is his last memory of himself.
So, Henry keeps going in the same story OVER AND OVER AND OVER again never stopping, with the same thing happening every time for ever. When he reaches “the end” the world ends and the ink machine resets and it starts all over again and it keeps going. Basically the end of chapter 5 was the beginning and how he got into it in the first place was from joeys apartment. During the past times he went through, he left himself messages telling and warning his future self not to keep going, because he knew it would keep going, right?
You may be correct but the part wear u said that the ending was a flashback it could be that he restarted again instead of it showing it as a flashback or it may even be both because a loop is no end or no beginning
I think I know why were in a endless loop: *WE NEVER TURNED OFF THE MACHINE* Edit: haha big brain go *BRRRR* Quick question: we all know that turning off the machine may be a possible, but a very difficult feat to accomplish, but, can we *destroy it?* But if we could, how? The ink machine is huge as h e l l. Yeah, we could somehow destroy the smaller version -again, it could be very hard, almost impossible to do, but it could be possible.- But how do we destroy the larger version? This may be a stupid idea, but since everything is connected to the "the end" reel, like, when it plays, it resets everything, what if we destroy the reel instead. I always had this idea that if the reel were destroyed, the world could either just instantly dissapeared, or the studio could slowly crumble apart, somehow unlocking the exit all the way back at the surface, with a possible chance of setting everyone free.
I don't think so because Alison told us that she and Tom could not touch ink for too long that's why Henry went into gigantic ink machine alone. And if Henry is the normal Bendy (it means hes an ink creature as Alison or Tom) how did he managed to get through that "ink sea" ? Sorry for mistakes I used Google translator;)
If you hack into the room with the Ink Machine in Joey's apartment, you'll find a newspaper about Henry's death with the headline: "Local artist pushed too hard; found dead at desk"
Interesting theory! I personally didn't think that the events of the game took place in an alternate reality; I thought it WAS in the normal reality, but the ink machine had just infected the entire studio to look all cartoony, on top of turning people into ink creations.
I KNEW IT My friends were confused so I said maybe Henry is in a loop aka a cartoon what if he was always in a cartoon and my friends called me crazy once I said that... BUT IT'S TRUE HA TAKE THAT
That makes sense. But would that mean that Sammy can be saved? Does a "perfect Bendy" exist? Why does Henry have a higher-pitched voice in the final chapter? So many unanswered questions!
Maybe Henry looks like Bendy but no one (except Susie) remembered on what a human (means themselves) looks like. Henry (in his death loop) could very be the perfect "Bendy" that has been theorized. Sammy acts like Henry is Bendy in chapter 5. Maybe that is why we never see his face, because Henry may not have a reflection anymore since he is dead. And since Henry is, probably, the perfect "Bendy" he can travel through the ink without being swallowed or corrupted. The secret ink may be a special ability only Henry has in order to communicate with himself when he is reborn over and over again even though he cant remember it every time. The reason on why Ink "Bendy" seemingly saved him in Chapter 4 is to devour him in the End in order to become more powerful because Henry is "Bendy" with a soul and the Ink Demon (like most Demons in mythology) wants the soul of Henry. No other Ink being can satisfy or make him more powerful than Henry. Or maybe Henry did escape the studio but he fell into, probably, a coma and the game is his warped experience repeating itself over and over again, with the secret ink messages being his subconsciousness trying to wake himself up. But there will be more of Bendy and the ink Machine, a sequel may finally solve all the answers we still need to figure out on what exactly happened in the game. If there will be a sequel we may will be playing as Joey or as someone other. But this is just another Theory. It doesn't need to be true, it is just a nice Mind thought. Sorry for my grammar.
Maybe Perfect Bendy does exist. I think it is the bendy that keeps moving in the picture found in Chapter 1 update. He doesn't attack you either so this could of mean, that was the only perfect Bendy.
Same thing with the chapter 1 and 3 easter eggs. There wasn't one for chapter 4 since it probably didn't have a set place it was in. There were multiple mini-ink machines, multiple places they could have been.
@@thatfooltheycallweaver1124 there is one radio in chapter 4! It's in the first ink into item machine, (??) And it plays "Can't be erased" if I remember correctly. But I don't see any in chapter 5 (yet)
I have an idea. What if all the dark ritual and stuffs are just Joey's imagination of his own misgiving during the studio's hayday, and no one actually died (at least in the studio), just was horribly exploited under Joey, but in Joey's imagination he think he is a human-killing ritualist? Coz afterwards we see Wally's and Allison's letter, which means in the real world they weren't transformed at all. At one point of the game I really thought Wally was drugged by the cake and thrown into the machine to create the first Boris, clearly happened while he was working at the workshop, but in fact later we see in Joey's house Wally's letter as an retired happy old man. So were Allison and Tom, who was put into the story by Joey probably because they were some sort of conscientious objector to Joey's nonsense. Now, whether Henry is alive or dead is not important. What really is important though, is the role of Henry in Joey's mind. I think the entire story is Joey mentally explaining away the eventual failure of the studio (evident by Allison and Wally's letters as well as the bankruptcy papers on the wall in Joey's house) and battling his own ambition and inability to accept the closure of the studio. So in a sense, Bendy actually IS Joey, or at least part of him. But in other parts of Joey's mind he wants closure, so he falls back to his memory of his old pal, who always "push him to do the right thing". This "Henry" is an avatar of Joey's mental effort to accept "the end" of his legacy. In Joey's mind, part of himself really IS the lier, traitor, exploiter of human (metaphorically transforming people into his ink monsters) etc. Put a crazy imagination filter on it, then we got dark ritualist killer Joey, when in real life he's probably just a greedy businessman and an egoistic jerk at worst. Now, if Henry is alive at that point, Joey probably invited him in to see the storyboard; if he is dead, then Joey is conversating with his imagination of Henry's spirit. Either way is plausible. The point is, the idea of "Bendy can't see the End" translates into the real world as "The ambitious and egoistic part of Joey can't accept the End of his Studio". By creating this story (hence the storyboard in his house) Joey is going through a process of killing that part of his psyche. But still, I agree with a huge part of your analysis, which is, Henry could very well be dead at the point of the story (or otherwise there won't be a coffin drawing on his bed). So are Bertrum, Grant, Lacie etc. But I think the reason their "coffin" appears in the studio is because at the point when the studio went bankrupt, they were all dead and Joey can't reconcile with them anymore (unlike Wally and Allison/Tom), so it's showing his regret of mistreating them in the past, including Henry.
@atlzツ are we really having a chat in the comments?....i mean...uhhhhhh...we are ment to say syuff like "OI.......ye good video man (:" or "GAHHHHHHAHAHHAH IM HACK YOUR CHANNEL GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" you know..but.........chatting????
Let's assume everything in the game is real. The Ink Machine got way out of control and created this horrible Bendy Hell inhabited by the souls of Joey Drew's former employees, now trapped in inky cartoon bodies. Henry ends the game with the final defeat of mutated Bendy, who has been terrorizing the other cartoon characters because he is frustrated and lost without his creator, Joey Drew, who has since fled the studio (I'm not sure how, bear with me). Bendy is fundamentally flawed without a soul of his own, and this drives him to mindlessly chase and kill everything in sight. Prior to the events of Chapter 5, Bendy is seen limping aimlessly through the halls of the studio, only coming after Henry when they cross paths or when his cutouts are broken (Alice Angel/Susie Campbell tells us he hates it when she does that). He has no story, no purpose. His creator abandoned him because he was a "weird abomination." But this creature wasn't always evil, as far as we know. Originally, Bendy just limped around Thomas Connor's office, before Joey discovered him and ordered Tom to lock him up so the press wouldn't see him. This harsh rejection and isolation drives Bendy to insanity. We never see Lacie Benton in the game and there are no hints of her death -- perhaps this was Bendy's first victim. Tom discovers the murder and tells Joey about it, which prompts Joey to kill Tom and throw him into the Machine to further avoid bad press. By now, Susie and Wally have also become cartoons (Susie through manipulation and Wally by poison [from the cake]), and without Tom to control him, Bendy begins to take over the studio. The Ink Machine is out of control and creating clones and monsters non-stop. Joey is defenseless in an increasingly inky hell he can't escape. So he hastily puts together the "The End," tapes and leaves the audio log for Henry Stein -- the only employee to have escaped Joey's deranged experiments -- to find later on. Henry was a part of the ritual of the Ink Machine, as evidenced by his inkwell in Chapter 1, and his soul effectually belongs to Joey and is intrinsically linked to the Machine and Bendy. With the other employees trapped in inky bodies and in constant danger of being "claimed" by the ink or destroyed by Bendy, no one else involved in the ritual can stop the Ink Demon. No one, except Henry. While Joey tracks down Henry for the next few decades, the cartoon characters within are constantly being claimed by the ink and reborn, "bits of [their] mind[s] swimming around like fish in a bowl" as Alice Angel describes in Chapter 3. Terrorized by both Bendy the Ink Demon and the insane perfectionist Susie Campbell (reborn into a grotesque, imperfect clone of Alice Angel), the Lost Ones and others like Wally, Tom, and Allison live in near-constant danger and fear. Until their rescuer finally returns: Henry Stein, the original creator of the Bendy character. Why Henry starts up the small ink machine...I honestly don't know. But it summons Bendy, who instinctually tries to kill Henry. Bendy later spares Henry, just once, for 2 reasons: 1) Henry is in the magical Little Miracle Station and that's just how the game works, 2) upon looking inside, he recognizes Henry, his true creator, and chooses to leave him alone, either out of recognition of authority or sheer curiosity at what he'll do next. Notice that in Chapter 5, Bendy's throne is built on an inky mound of projector heads -- the remnants of Norman Polk/The Projectionist killed and reborn, over and over. Bendy didn't kill the Projectionist with the aim of saving Henry -- he was tracking Henry down to kill him himself when he noticed the Projectionist, the one creature capable of showing him "The End." Bendy doesn't want an ending, he wants a story, a purpose, something he will unfortunately never have in his current condition. Later, Henry is killed and reborn, perhaps as perfect Bendy. Though this theory conflicts with the idea of being claimed by the ink, perhaps Henry has some kind of "chosen one" immunity because he wasn't killed in the outside world, but within the Ink Machine's world. This would explain why Tom doesn't trust Henry. He's not only grumpy to begin with, but he knows enough about the cartoon universe to understand that the Alice Angel character was meant to be a love interest for the Bendy character. Tom cares deeply for and is very protective of his Alice (Allision Pendleton) and thus bullies and eventually abandons Henry to save himself and his relationship (which wasn't in any real danger, honestly). Of course, Tom later trusts Henry after witnessing his confrontation with the reborn Sammy Lawrence (probably an "enemy of my enemy is my friend" sort of thing, because no one likes Sammy. Henry also proved himself to be quite brave and resourceful to make it to the docks by himself, something former engineer Tom would admire). Finally, Henry confronts his old creation, now the corrupted Ink Demon, and defeats him by finally putting an end to Bendy and the studio's horrible story. The Ink Demon's defeat supposedly destroys the timeline as we know it, and Henry discovers that his old friends have been happily married and retired for many years from the letters they've sent Joey Drew, who previously reached out to them. We're back at the moment Henry first agrees to enter the world of the studio, the moment Joey has been waiting for: to send a "savior" into the Machine and "set free" his employees once and for all. But because Henry died within, his soul is still trapped inside its world, and the Machine was never turned off. It is an entity of its own, after all, even without Bendy, its first creation. And so, Henry is pulled back into the reset loop of Bendy Hell, to "push a little harder," as Joey puts it, to finally set things right. Henry uses Tom's old creation and some kind of invisible ink to warn his future self of what's to come, hoping he can make it through the game and defeat Bendy for good. But he hasn't yet, and his memory is beginning to fade after all of these years of dying and being reborn, trying and failing. The question is: can Henry really set them free, when he's trapped himself? Just a theory :) EDIT: If you've gotten this far, thanks for reading! :)
so basically when joey says to check the studio, and you go there and notice an ink machine but you remember NOTHING. you just set it on because of 'curiousity' and oilah! bendy is REBORN!🎉 but you try to escape without turning the ink machine OFF, you just run away to the exit but its too late, you triggered the loop (again). you fall deeper into the studio untill you face bendy. when you play the 'the end' disc, it ends THAT universe, but because the ink machine is still on, it makes another universe, so another loop, another studio, another henry that explores the studio, another henry that activates another ink machine, etc. so you will never be 'free'
@@DragonFight-er7zb Hello Mom did you Get to work y no me gusta que me digas que no te dejaban en la casa de la abuela y de la familia de los niños de hoy es el día del padre de los niños 🚸 que tienen una vida de confianza
before watching this video: the ending is actually the beginning. if anything, joey sent the letter, henry visited the man and then he went or that letter was a paper memory before heading to the studio. my other thing is - henry was there to clean joey's mess. joey knows he messed up but can't right his wrongs because henry was there to fix it, so to fix a huge mistake, 'henry imma need you at the studio to kill your little devil darling real last' it has this other meaning to me, henry left waaay before the downfall of the studio, joey made sure henry was seeing it to its end. - also, joey had bendy locked up inside the vault for god knows how long! a soul cant connect to something without meaning so having to force or trick people into being characters was never going to work, susie had ties with alice but when she was talking about fixing it and mean joey, that cute and sweet part was twisted, so now you have a trick and angry woman wanting her part back. bendy was summoned by a ritual, no doubt someone didn't know what they were doing and a demon took hold of the ink, Bendy was a puppet in all this, only when henry had the key to destroy the demon did the cartoon disappear to reveal the 'true demon within'. dying and coming back is like reincarnation, some memories will stay, others...gone in the mist of death and rebirth. - or maybe joey is a child and is telling stories involving henry to put him through hell and back. no doubt if that was a story, he was a damn good one to have a child want another one, involving henry once again.
I don't think Bendy can be called a puppet. He was an uncontrollable abomination without a soul. He is the embodiment of the demonic and evil nature of the Ink Machine's power.
@@williamharmon4039 im going off of thomas conners tape. 'theres something unworldly about him' the character bendy was a masked puppet to house a real soulless demon.
Irae Wolph No, he was made from demonic ink by an evil machine with supernatural power. There was no outside force possessing him because he himself was the demon.
I just have one problem with this theory - the fact that Henry came to the studio because he received a letter. It directly contradicts the assumption that Henry _visited_ Joey's house, and Joey _spoke_ to him and hence asked him to go to the studio. And doesn't it feel strange that Henry sent a picture to Joey congratulating him on his success - when Joey's company was falling into ruin? And we still have no explanation why some people like Allison think Henry is a savior, while others like Tom thought he was dangerous. Also if Henry was duped and brought into the studio and reincarnated just like Allison and Tom were, then why doesn't the ink affect him like it affects the others? I'm not entirely sure of what the truth is, but I'm pretty sure that Henry in the material world is dead. There's no other reason why a congratulatory message from him would be framed, unless it was in the memory of the sender. The theory I'm most fond of is a world where Henry is dead because Joey killed him, resenting him leaving behind the partnership and cartoon characters they had invested so much in. Like Allison and Tom, who also got successful jobs, he lured them back to the old studio and killed them, hoping to resurrect some cartoon characters with their souls. Henry is probably not a cartoon though, otherwise he'd definitely be overwhelmed by the ink, and couldn't defy Bendy. I do think Henry is stuck in a loop though, since while he's bringing closure to the cartoons of the studio he's unable to avenge the circumstances of his own death.
A: he visited Joey's house because of letter B: the game is a movie with Joey reflecting back on how bad he treated the workers and the success that Henry was talking about is the movie and the ink and the ink is a metaphor the movie was sort of to make amends
I'm pretty sure Tom hated Henry for a little while just cause he still had memories of his wife but since he couldn't talk, he couldn't explain anything to her. So with Henry showing up and Allison showing him affection he gets all jealous and possessive and is like "HEY u better stay the hell away from ma wife or else!"
Well: For 1:When Joey gave Henry a letter,he went to the studio and got killed,then he was reincarnated,put in a cartoon world,stuck in an loop,trying to get out,but cant escape bendy's wrath 2:Then,the picture with the letter by Henry must be before the workshop was in ruins,and Joey's quote,unquote "crooked empire"
I think Joey hopes that in one of the loops, Henry’s soul gets recycled into Bendy. Since Henry was the original creator of Bendy, Joey may believe only his soul can truly bring Bendy to life.
I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this yet, BUT the date on the "calander" at the end of the of Chapter 5 when you're talking to Joey always changes date. Does this mean anything important?
He did say he has more to go off on than this simple theory, I think he didn't forget the calendar. He didn't say anything about Wally or his grave that should be there if he's been part of this whole mess.
yeah, i noticed this yesterday and keep hoping someone will cover it. it should also be noted that the month is August and that above the drawings on the table, there is another calander with August 31st circled
I think Henry became perfect Bendy by ending “Bendy”. Indeed, if the studio works like a cartoon, then it needs a protagonist and aside from Boris and Alice, the real protagonist that we didn’t yet see is Bendy. It’ll also explain how Henry can leave these secret message with glowing ink as he is the protagonist of this twisted story. Plus, it’ll explain WHY ON EARTH HENRY ACTIVATED THE INK MACHINE WITHOUT BEING TOLD SO. If he’s the protagonist, he needs a lore, so something needs to happen. Plus, his relationship with Connor Boris really makes me think of the relationship between Bendy and Boris in the cartoon, with Boris always antagonizing him (but that’s far fetched I’ll give you that).
SuperBendy 958 I meant in the “cartoon reality” that Bro was talking about in the video, if it’s a cartoony world then he needs to be a cartoon too right ? Realistic cartoon didn’t exist much in his time I think? That’s what made me think he became Bendy but I could be wrong.
Well, you have a good point there. But what would be the point? After all, if everything was going to reset anyways, wouldn't he just become henry again anyways?
SuperBendy 958 Yeah you’re right I guess it’s weird but maybe not everything resets? If it did, how could the writing that Henry did on the wall be there ? I don’t know I think we’ll know more in the sequel of Bendy and the Ink Machine. I had another theory where the little voice in the end may be perfect Bendy as Joey wanted to bring his character to life and he succeeded by sending Henry, the creator, in an never ending loop ? But again that’s far fetched. Still, how could the little voice be Henry’s child when it’s already been 30 years ? If it was his grandchild I’ll understand but we hear “Uncle Joey” at the end, so it can’t be...
@@HiHello-cw9vc and @Samantha Gooding. Hol up. There was never a part of Sammy Lawrence saying or remembering he's name. Never was, he only appeared at Chapter 2 and Chapter 5 and never said he's name or remember. But wait... Nevermind
There can be multiple endings, Henry gets everyones memories back in the studio. Henry sets the studio on fire. Henry fights the ink demon with a weapon, etc.
I don't believe the little voice is Henry's daughter or grandchild. Henry is in his 50's or 60's,meaning any of his children are adults,and I honestly can't believe Henry would just leave his grandchild with Joey. I think it's a Bendy made from that rusty Ink Machine,you can even hear inky noises right before the voice. And it would make sense that he called Joey "Uncle Joey" because Joey would technically be an uncle for Bendy since Henry would be more of a father.
This would have been a great theory! If it wasn’t for the fact that the voice sounds more like a young girl than a cartoon young demon boy. (Why did I word it like that?) good job though! 9/10! ^-^
This was a very well made theory video but I have to say the “Creator you Traitor” at 7:13 is in fact a direct reference of the BATIM Song by DAGames. Not a hidden message from a past Henry but rather an Easter egg from The Meatly.
Kaka Hass No it’s not the DAGames jukebox is in the same room as the “Creator you Traitor” , and is literally on the floor in front of it. Also the fact you know the song and some of its lyrics means that you must also see the similarities and agree as well that it is indeed a reference to DAGames song.
if they're both different realities then how come when Joey sends you to the workshop you're inside the workshop that means you're in the same reality and I mention which means his theory makes no sense
Eveee Of the Lost Woods the story is never going to end I'm pretty sure it's going to keep going until like chapter 20 because there's going to be a chapter 6 The Shed good morning comments there will be a chapter 6
This theory is really good, but if Henry was sacrificed and reborn into the cartoon world why is he still human? He can wade through the ink even in the cartoon world which other reborn characters like Alison, Tom or Alice can’t do.
Yup! On the bottom of the letter Wally sends, there’s a little caption that says “Frank’s Handyman Service” I’m so proud of my boy he found success. 😭👏
Nice! I only have one question: When Henry is in fact dead, wouldn't that mean he also has an "inky body"? Because I thought, he was the only one from the trio in chapter 5 who could "swim" through the ink, because of his human body. So can he really be dead? Idk, just a thought..😅😅
@@lizzy7364 it's because the characters in the game (Henry etc) are shown to be alive in the real world through the letter/photo in Joey's house. 2)In the end Joey's daughter even tells him to "tell another story". Soo all along the BATIM was just a tale. 3)Henry, the character we play in the game is a fictional char created by Joey inspired by his partner(Henry). 4) In the game it's also told that Henry is alive not dead, so his theory about Henry being a dead person is also wrong.
So a couple things I noticed that seems no one else has commented on. First the river monster, in Chapter 4 in the research and development area, if you look up their is a giant Bendy hand hanging there, when you combine Lacie's tape to that in the same area stating that they move behind her back. So knowing this its possible the hand in the river originated from there!. Second I believe Henry is dead and his soul was used in the machine. If you look at all the ones that have audio logs -Joey Drew they all are dead and have been converted to a cartoon representation of them selves. I believe Henry is "good Bendy" they all call him Henry cause they have no memory just like Alice calls "Boris" Tom and same Alice does not know who she is. Also this is why Sammie recognizes Henry in chapter two but cant place him. Also in Chapter 5 when Sammie confronts Henry he says "you said you would set me free" well he always thought Bendy would set him free also why the lost one s are now angry at him, and my last bit of a clue is if you look closely at the story board on the desk in Joey's apartment you see a frame where Brute Boris is holding "good Bendy" looks very similar to the battle that Henry had with him there is also a frame of "good Bendy" holding the Tommy Gun and another frame of "good Bendy" looking to be writing something on the floor, hmm secret message for the tool maaabbbyy?? This for me tells Henry is the good bendy!!!! (its just a theory but its my thoughts so far) I have not figured out though why the ink wont swallow Henry or why he's different but I truly believe Henry is "good Bendy" SuperHorrorBro I want to thank you for your Bendy videos they really made me think and its why I was able to really think about what I saw in the game finding clues to things I may have missed so thank you for your Channel!!!!! Also if you look through the special tool during the Boris Battle it shows names above the portraits. I am guessing they represent developers that worked on the game :D , I found I had to die during the Brute Boris fight to get the tool to work. One last thought also on the story board their is a frame that has Beast Bendy holding the End Reel and the caption is "Bendy Wins" , is this the change that needs to happen?? do we need to some how let Beast Bendy destroy the end reel??
i think either you have to let demon bendy win like you said or that painting could back up the point that henry may be good bendy as it says "bendy wins" and sicne he is bendy and puts the reel in at the end or maybe for the next game it is saying he will win
hmm yup looking closer I realised all Are Sammy but the one where good bendy is drawing on floor. I till believe Henry is good bendy thanks for correcting me on the Sammy thing. :D Just to Add would it not be odd for Sammy to fight Brute Boris, kinda thought Brute Boris was one of a kind?? SuperHorrorBro! please do a theory on the drawings on Joeys Drews Desk!!! would love your insight on that!!!!
@@islaxoxo8448 good point! interesting either way, I hope they do bring out more chapters or a 2nd to finalise the story but I fear they may leave it open ended! I hope not I NEED CL OSIER lol :D
This is my theory: So I believe Wally, Tom and Alison and Henry were the only workers who got out of the studio and the others are trapped, so when Joey gets a letter from them he realised they are not trapped in the studio and so he tells them to come to the studio in hope that they can defeat the ink demon and set the trapped workers free. Once Alison and Tom get there they get turned into Alice Angel and Boris by the ink demon and lose their memory Henry does not. I don't really like the loop theory if it's true I am a little bit disappointed
But there is a flaw in your theory, Henry doesn't remember everything until the end. We see this in a replay in chapter 1 with the Invisible ink finder that Henry had played through this story over 300 times. (Yes I counted up the tallies) So he wouldn't remember a promise that he made with Sammy in one of his previous incarnation cycles.
My theory for why Joey invited Henry was to make sure that no one from this other world escapes, Henry is what's keeping the loop going and is keeping Bendy at bay, preventing him from leaving the studio.
@Azuki, yes, but TheMeatly should have awnsered questions, I did not like it because I think that Joey was just telling Linda, (Henry’s daughter? From the tape) stories, I thought it would have been better, like Henry escapes (somehow) and sets everyone free, but that did not happen, they should have awnsered more questions.
2:37 Ok sooo I have one question that intrigues me a lot in here. How did Henry not dissolve in the inky river that was at front of Bendy's fortress. Even Alison (good Alice) said that she and Tom can't Go with Henry to Bendy's lair becouse they are made of ink and, after entering the inky river, They would become a part of it. Henry then corsses and exits river without anything bad happening to him. If Henry was a cartoon inky creation like Alison or Tom, whouldn't Alison try to stop him? Henry was their last hope and alison seemd to like him, why, then, wouldn't she try to stop him. Also, if she lied to henry so she won't be forced to go whith him, then why woldnt she do this? Hanry, Tom and Alisson literally massacred the whole village of searches's And lost ones's without any harm happening to our trio? Plz answear thanks in advance EDIT: THX for 2 likes. We need to unite if we want to get answear. This theory is good, yet still this question kinda destroys it.
I don't think Henry is made of ink only everything else around him. Which is why everyone thinks it's strange that Henry is in the cartoon reality since he isn't a cartoon
At the end, in the ink machine room(which you would have to hack into) there is a newspaper saying “Local artist found dead at desk after pushing too hard) I believe this further confirms that Henry is dead because Henry sees his old desk twice.
My opinion is a flashback how about the messages well maybe Henry didn't write it it might be a lost one who was like Henry what about the falling well he was reborn maybe when the ink went to Henry it made him a cartoon ish so he can survive great high places how about the elevator well maybe he was reborn idk this is my theory like if u agree
I don’t believe there is a never ending loop. I believe that the final scene in Chapter 5 with Joey was simply just a flashback to what started Henry’s adventure in the first place.
I believe the little girl at the end of the game might have been Henry's daughter. Because, you know how when 2 friends are close enough, the consider each other siblings? I think this might have been the case between Henry and Joey. If this is true, then Henry would've wanted his daughter to refer to Joey as, "Uncle Joey". And this girl might have been the reason that Henry left so long ago. Besides, we do hear her say that when seeing the gift from Henry Stein. And she might have been the exact reason that Henry tried so desperately to leave the studio in the game.
Wait, how did Allison Connor exist after Allison Angel and Tom Boris? Maybe that's the end and meeting Joey Drew was the start, the first part of the apartment is where Henry returns home and the second part of the apartment is where he meet Joey Drew, at the start!
this is probably the best explanation there's lots of evidence, proof, and it explains so much i can't think of any contradictions i'm also excited to see the more in depth theories about this, and although it is completely up to interpretation, i don't think there's any theories that are better, so awesome job and thanks for making it more clear
i agree that Henry might be in an time loop but what if the massages are from people who bein in the studio who are trying to warn people to stay away and don't turn on the ink
@SAMUEL CHICHONI BATIM is just a beginning. There are still more to BATIM. When will they come? When will they announce? Who knows. let's just wait until TheMeatly has very good idea.
i feel like henry is just repeating the same stuff over and over again and he knows that he is stuck in this infinite loop and he cant escape it Edit: What if a plot twist was that allison was Linda?!
I'm wondering that as well. Multiple projectionist heads makes me think the ink machine does more than make a template of the toon or monsters. Perhaps it makes a template of the souls as well and pair it to it's designated creation. This might be why there's so many of those projectionist heads and another one spawning after you kill it in the previous chapter.
I noticed how if you go into the right spot in every chapter you get to see the ink machine lowering and what you get to the giant ink machine at the end you find out that whole time it was lowering onto the giant machine
Hmm, SuperhorrorBro. Quick question, if Henry is presumed dead, what is his form then? Plus, how come Henry doesn't disappear from the ink like what Allison said in chapter 5? Plus, how come Sammy and Alice know him? Is he human? Or a cartoon with the face of his old self? I mean, this is one wall no one decided to break or look at! Anyone Help Me?
he was never actually reborn into an inky creation, because he has much more memory from before he entered the loop. sammy and alice know him becuase of past loops, he's probably human as he can go in the ink.
I think the reason why Henry can go through the ink is because he is another form of Bendy. The reason why I think this is because Ink Bendy can go through the ink too.
@@demented_the_dev_yt8961, that can be true....except how come Alice Angel Already knew his name? Even who we was? Gah! Freaking Meatley is Trying to be Scott from the Fnaf Series!
@@demented_the_dev_yt8961, maybe....but, she was caught in greed and all, plus....if Joey wanted Henry at the studio to die, but be re animated.....why didn't Joey think of that first then hiding away? Or see someone be victim to that?
Idk how this works but I believe Susie is the good Alice Angel, due to the end credits. It would make sence that Alice in chap 3 would say Dreams come true Susie, because she's thinking herself Alison is the perfect Alice Angel, but because she's new voice actor, she didn't have the true connection, therefore when Susie changed into the true good Alice, Alison got jelous because that was her job, therefore either convinced people or turned herself into the bad alice Angel. She also has Susie coffin in her room full of dead Borris's to remember her hate for Susie.
I do have a theory that Henry is living in his own hell. Think about it going through the studio he has to fight so many monsters and get tortured. Then after it's done it happened all over again. Also the writings could be from Henry from when he was there before so many times so that maybe just maybe there could be a change but it's hell. Satan will try and torture you in every single way,and so this is Henry's way of being tortured.
I refuse to believe Henry is in some kind of cartoon reality/time loop, it's a lazy cop-out that doesn't leave a satisfying ending and gives a big middle finger to all the theories since they mean nothing as Henry is reliving this story all over again. All of Henry's choices mean nothing because it's not real. I hope theMeatly adds another ending, a true ending to the game that leaves a satisfying ending.
Well Henry is in a loop.... The seeing tool shows messages that only Henry would say like on a Boris poster it says "I'm sorry buddy" and after you fall it says "I always fall".... But a second game could be Henry breaking the loop.... Freeing himself and escaping the studio/ cartoon world....
The only thing I find wrong with this is: At the end, none of the other revived workers can go through that pool of ink to the ink machine, but henry can, and they describe him as still being human, and not being like them. So, if he is one, why can he do that?
Everything in this game makes me even feel like every update of the chapters are part of different loops as well, if we follow that eternal loop theory. Stupid speculation, but it would be cool.
The words that the little girl says at the very end of the game are”Tell me another one, uncle Joey”, so maybe it can just be a story that Joey invented, but it also can not refer to anything, I don’t know
i know who that little girl who saied *tell me another one uncle joey* its henry's daughter. wait a minute, IS BENDY AND THE INK MACHINE IS JUST A STORY!?!?¿?¿?!¡¿¡?¿¡
for some reason bendy is surposed to get banished at the end of the game. i have a reason for why bendy, never did get banished. the reason why bendy never got banished was because, over the loops of time, the ink demon grew more powerful than ever. now, without this mascot, banished from reality, bendy and the ink machine or bendy and the dark revival never would have gave in. instead the workshop would have stayed the same, joey drew never invited henry to the workshop, and the cycle would continue, the studio would have tons of people rollin' in and talking alot! if henry didnt set things right, the cycle would continue and the batim workshop would have stayed open. tho, joey drew did spend all his funds on upgrading his "business tycoon," but without henrys help, the workshop would not exist. so joey drew did not have the rights to give in henry to do his bidding.
I feel so bad for Henry... gets talked into going to a workshop he left 30 years ago by a old friend and getting stuck in the same loop over and over and over again that never ends and leaving his daughter and wife to try and fix this and (knowing that he's dead) can never see them again cuz your stuck in a cartoon reality that never ends that's really sad :(
My thoughts exactly. Pretty sad story.
Yep the plot of this game is *so* much darker than it first seems
And not to mention, the fact that (I think) it was a happy ending for everyone BUT Him, but I could be terribly wrong.
But it makes for a good horror game
Like a cartoon being played over and over and over and over again
It's like when alice said "every time I follow the map I just start again,it's just like a circle" so prob Alice could be Alice Angel but is seeking for freedom
Or maybe because it’s a loop?
I have a theory of my own, well, more of an add on. When Joey finally dies, the loop ends. Everyone is freed. This is JOEY'S world. HIS studio. If he dies, the studio dies with it. It's that simple.
Well yeah since the studio Henry is trapped in is a cartoon reality, an idea that Joey made up it would make sense that that idea would die with him. Maybe Joey just wants the loop to go on for as long as possible because he's a sadistic psychopath
@@klunk4683 Exactly! Took the words right out of my mouth.
Goddamn, I had the same theory a few minutes ago
idk for now, I don't think theres enough info to make judgement so I'm just gonna wait till dark revival comes out and we get more info
Yes so simple. “Hey Henry can you please kill your BeSt FrEiNd?”
I feel like Henry was supposed to become the second bendy, similar to how Tom and Alison became Boris and Alice. Bendy was supposed to catch him in chapter 1, but couldn't because of the boards blocking him. Thus, Henry gets trapped in the cartoon world as the only non-ink human, which leads to bendy hunting him. The reason he respawns when he dies. is cause cartoon logic keeps him alive, but since he isn't a toon like the others, when the end plays, the machine can't stop it him in, so it just restarts. The only way for Henry to stop the loops, is to enter the smaller ink machine and become the next bendy, while in the bigger ink machine, and then play the end reel, which I think is what Joey tried to tell him in the audio log. then that would either end the loops and free everyone, or it would simply end, and their suffering would at least be over.
Holy Shit! Now i want this theory to be the true ending!😱😱😱
Yooooo this is deeeep
It seems that Henry was supposed to be the original bendy but never made it. Henry created these characters and loved them so he would be the perfect candidate for the bendy position.
@malouka23 - FNAF, Roblox, Minecraft, And More! Henry was able to defeat the ink demon as a human, become one with the ink would make that task a lot easier.
Daaaaaamn we need a 2nd game now!!
We never saw Henry's face, right? What if he was already a good Bendy?
Why do you think you bleed ink?
bendy has a shadow and a reflection
Hard to say...we do know that Henry still is a lot different from the others, because it's constantly pointed out.
You do realize blood can be black as well as red, right? I have black blood and I am human. I don't bleed ink, despite having black blood.
@@9fangirl590 and predators have glow sticks blood and there some what human
@@newslenderarts I wasn't saying that. I was saying blood can be black, but that doesn't mean people with black blood aren't cartoons or have ink for blood, at least I think black blood is possible, because I am not really sure but I know I at least have black blood and am human.
Another detail I missed on my first playthrough was that, on his desk in his living room, Joey has the entire game storyboarded: from the Projectionist to Alice strapping Boris to the table. So I 100% agree that Joey was a liar who manipulated people into doing his twisted bidding, but I don't think he ever hoped Henry would stop Bendy for good. I think he had accepted that Bendy as the world knew him was over, but used the Cycle and its twisted origins to his advantage and perpetuated the loop in order to have new stories to tell. Each time Henry shows Bendy the End, that's a wrap on one cartoon... and the beginning of another.
I think to stop the loop is
Leave everyone alive?
P.S I know how to get Bendy’s secret scream from Chapter 1
1. die in Chapter 2 or 3
2. Quit to the main menu when you are in the inky abyss
3. Go back to chapter 1
4. Get Jumpscared by Ink Bendy
What is his scream tho
Wait. It says ‘30 years really slips away’ on the workshop invite.
Henry would have had to be around 20 to work in the workshop but Henry doesn’t sound and speak like a 50 year old.
This could be more proof that he is dead
You can start work at 18, so Henry is at least 48 yrs old.
labor laws were more lax in the 30s....
Wait a minute maybe he’s in a comma
When I first saw the game, I thought Henry started working as a kid XD
I think Henry and Joey are the same person with multiple personalities. The Henry personality was repressed 30 years ago so Joey could take over and build the empire. I think Joey drew is Henry’s pen name. Per your point...in his mind he still views Henry as the 20 year old because that is his last memory of himself.
So, Henry keeps going in the same story OVER AND OVER AND OVER again never stopping, with the same thing happening every time for ever.
When he reaches “the end” the world ends and the ink machine resets and it starts all over again and it keeps going. Basically the end of chapter 5 was the beginning and how he got into it in the first place was from joeys apartment. During the past times he went through, he left himself messages telling and warning his future self not to keep going, because he knew it would keep going, right?
I think this storyline is pretty unique. And you dont see many horror games have this kind of storyline like bendy and the ink machine.
You may be correct but the part wear u said that the ending was a flashback it could be that he restarted again instead of it showing it as a flashback or it may even be both because a loop is no end or no beginning
\_(“-)_/
Woa
I think I know why were in a endless loop:
*WE NEVER TURNED OFF THE MACHINE*
Edit: haha big brain go *BRRRR*
Quick question: we all know that turning off the machine may be a possible, but a very difficult feat to accomplish, but, can we *destroy it?*
But if we could, how? The ink machine is huge as h e l l. Yeah, we could somehow destroy the smaller version
-again, it could be very hard, almost impossible to do, but it could be possible.-
But how do we destroy the larger version?
This may be a stupid idea, but since everything is connected to the "the end" reel, like, when it plays, it resets everything, what if we destroy the reel instead. I always had this idea that if the reel were destroyed, the world could either just instantly dissapeared, or the studio could slowly crumble apart, somehow unlocking the exit all the way back at the surface, with a possible chance of setting everyone free.
OH CRAP YOU'RE RIGHT
*THAT GUY IS A DAMN GENIUS!*
Darn
Uh oh..were so dead
Yea some times I think that Henry was helping the ink demon
What if henry is actually the normal bendy and hes trying to stop the evil bendy with allison and tom?
That's exactly what i'm thinking
My brain just exploded
think he is too tall to be good Bendy
I've seen that theory before. Way before you made it up.
I don't think so because Alison told us that she and Tom could not touch ink for too long that's why Henry went into gigantic ink machine alone. And if Henry is the normal Bendy (it means hes an ink creature as Alison or Tom) how did he managed to get through that "ink sea" ?
Sorry for mistakes I used Google translator;)
If you hack into the room with the Ink Machine in Joey's apartment,
you'll find a newspaper about Henry's death with the headline:
"Local artist pushed too hard; found dead at desk"
wait is this true? cause if it is,damn thats like- wow
Wait dats true???
wait how do we know it was actually henry-
Kray The Fin no it’s real search it up
Sami true
Interesting theory! I personally didn't think that the events of the game took place in an alternate reality; I thought it WAS in the normal reality, but the ink machine had just infected the entire studio to look all cartoony, on top of turning people into ink creations.
I KNEW IT My friends were confused so I said maybe Henry is in a loop aka a cartoon what if he was always in a cartoon and my friends called me crazy once I said that... BUT IT'S TRUE HA TAKE THAT
Except it's only a theory. Not true yet.
Lol
Henry survived from

Don't forget Linda.
@Ivan Exell it was proven in Dreams Come to Life that Linda is Henry's wife.
I have an idea for Henry, when he gets to his apartment the infinite time (LOL) exit his apartment and the loop ends
But it's a loop and he doesn't know that if he enters the studios it will start all over again.
@@Iron1525 he can just punch Henry in the face and then he wouldn't be needed to go in there
@@PixlatedPixel Wut, I mean i guess that could work xD
@@Iron1525 lol I just replied XD
@@PixlatedPixel haha Im a quick replier XD
That makes sense. But would that mean that Sammy can be saved? Does a "perfect Bendy" exist? Why does Henry have a higher-pitched voice in the final chapter? So many unanswered questions!
Maybe Henry looks like Bendy but no one (except Susie) remembered on what a human (means themselves) looks like. Henry (in his death loop) could very be the
perfect "Bendy" that has been theorized. Sammy acts like Henry is Bendy in chapter 5. Maybe that is why we never see his face, because Henry may not have a reflection anymore since he is dead. And since Henry is, probably, the perfect "Bendy" he can travel through the ink without being swallowed or corrupted. The secret ink may be a special ability only Henry has in order to communicate with himself when he is reborn over and over again even though he cant remember it every time.
The reason on why Ink "Bendy" seemingly saved him in Chapter 4 is to devour him in the End in order to become more powerful because Henry is "Bendy" with a soul
and the Ink Demon (like most Demons in mythology) wants the soul of Henry. No other Ink being can satisfy or make him more powerful than Henry.
Or maybe Henry did escape the studio but he fell into, probably, a coma and the game is his warped experience repeating itself over and over again, with the secret ink
messages being his subconsciousness trying to wake himself up.
But there will be more of Bendy and the ink Machine, a sequel may finally solve all the answers we still need to figure out on what exactly happened in the game. If there will be a sequel we may will be playing as Joey or as someone other.
But this is just another Theory. It doesn't need to be true, it is just a nice Mind thought.
Sorry for my grammar.
Maybe Perfect Bendy does exist. I think it is the bendy that keeps moving in the picture found in Chapter 1 update.
He doesn't attack you either so this could of mean, that was the only perfect Bendy.
Susie can remember Henry since, to her, he still looks human.
Emily H in a Recording of Thomas he says there’s only one Bendy, wich is the ink demon

Same thing with the chapter 1 and 3 easter eggs. There wasn't one for chapter 4 since it probably didn't have a set place it was in. There were multiple mini-ink machines, multiple places they could have been.
yep good job for figuring it out. 😉😊😅😆😂😂
ohhhhhhh. 😉😁😁😍😃😂😄😄😃
@@thatfooltheycallweaver1124 there is one radio in chapter 4! It's in the first ink into item machine, (??) And it plays "Can't be erased" if I remember correctly. But I don't see any in chapter 5 (yet)
I have an idea. What if all the dark ritual and stuffs are just Joey's imagination of his own misgiving during the studio's hayday, and no one actually died (at least in the studio), just was horribly exploited under Joey, but in Joey's imagination he think he is a human-killing ritualist? Coz afterwards we see Wally's and Allison's letter, which means in the real world they weren't transformed at all. At one point of the game I really thought Wally was drugged by the cake and thrown into the machine to create the first Boris, clearly happened while he was working at the workshop, but in fact later we see in Joey's house Wally's letter as an retired happy old man. So were Allison and Tom, who was put into the story by Joey probably because they were some sort of conscientious objector to Joey's nonsense.
Now, whether Henry is alive or dead is not important. What really is important though, is the role of Henry in Joey's mind. I think the entire story is Joey mentally explaining away the eventual failure of the studio (evident by Allison and Wally's letters as well as the bankruptcy papers on the wall in Joey's house) and battling his own ambition and inability to accept the closure of the studio. So in a sense, Bendy actually IS Joey, or at least part of him. But in other parts of Joey's mind he wants closure, so he falls back to his memory of his old pal, who always "push him to do the right thing". This "Henry" is an avatar of Joey's mental effort to accept "the end" of his legacy. In Joey's mind, part of himself really IS the lier, traitor, exploiter of human (metaphorically transforming people into his ink monsters) etc. Put a crazy imagination filter on it, then we got dark ritualist killer Joey, when in real life he's probably just a greedy businessman and an egoistic jerk at worst.
Now, if Henry is alive at that point, Joey probably invited him in to see the storyboard; if he is dead, then Joey is conversating with his imagination of Henry's spirit. Either way is plausible. The point is, the idea of "Bendy can't see the End" translates into the real world as "The ambitious and egoistic part of Joey can't accept the End of his Studio". By creating this story (hence the storyboard in his house) Joey is going through a process of killing that part of his psyche.
But still, I agree with a huge part of your analysis, which is, Henry could very well be dead at the point of the story (or otherwise there won't be a coffin drawing on his bed). So are Bertrum, Grant, Lacie etc. But I think the reason their "coffin" appears in the studio is because at the point when the studio went bankrupt, they were all dead and Joey can't reconcile with them anymore (unlike Wally and Allison/Tom), so it's showing his regret of mistreating them in the past, including Henry.
nah im not reading that all
It kinda makes sense, though it doesn't explain the Chibi Ink Machine in Joey's home.
thx for the like
@atlzツ ikr
@atlzツ are we really having a chat in the comments?....i mean...uhhhhhh...we are ment to say syuff like "OI.......ye good video man (:" or "GAHHHHHHAHAHHAH IM HACK YOUR CHANNEL GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" you know..but.........chatting????
Let's assume everything in the game is real. The Ink Machine got way out of control and created this horrible Bendy Hell inhabited by the souls of Joey Drew's former employees, now trapped in inky cartoon bodies. Henry ends the game with the final defeat of mutated Bendy, who has been terrorizing the other cartoon characters because he is frustrated and lost without his creator, Joey Drew, who has since fled the studio (I'm not sure how, bear with me). Bendy is fundamentally flawed without a soul of his own, and this drives him to mindlessly chase and kill everything in sight. Prior to the events of Chapter 5, Bendy is seen limping aimlessly through the halls of the studio, only coming after Henry when they cross paths or when his cutouts are broken (Alice Angel/Susie Campbell tells us he hates it when she does that). He has no story, no purpose. His creator abandoned him because he was a "weird abomination." But this creature wasn't always evil, as far as we know. Originally, Bendy just limped around Thomas Connor's office, before Joey discovered him and ordered Tom to lock him up so the press wouldn't see him.
This harsh rejection and isolation drives Bendy to insanity. We never see Lacie Benton in the game and there are no hints of her death -- perhaps this was Bendy's first victim. Tom discovers the murder and tells Joey about it, which prompts Joey to kill Tom and throw him into the Machine to further avoid bad press. By now, Susie and Wally have also become cartoons (Susie through manipulation and Wally by poison [from the cake]), and without Tom to control him, Bendy begins to take over the studio. The Ink Machine is out of control and creating clones and monsters non-stop. Joey is defenseless in an increasingly inky hell he can't escape. So he hastily puts together the "The End," tapes and leaves the audio log for Henry Stein -- the only employee to have escaped Joey's deranged experiments -- to find later on. Henry was a part of the ritual of the Ink Machine, as evidenced by his inkwell in Chapter 1, and his soul effectually belongs to Joey and is intrinsically linked to the Machine and Bendy. With the other employees trapped in inky bodies and in constant danger of being "claimed" by the ink or destroyed by Bendy, no one else involved in the ritual can stop the Ink Demon. No one, except Henry.
While Joey tracks down Henry for the next few decades, the cartoon characters within are constantly being claimed by the ink and reborn, "bits of [their] mind[s] swimming around like fish in a bowl" as Alice Angel describes in Chapter 3. Terrorized by both Bendy the Ink Demon and the insane perfectionist Susie Campbell (reborn into a grotesque, imperfect clone of Alice Angel), the Lost Ones and others like Wally, Tom, and Allison live in near-constant danger and fear. Until their rescuer finally returns: Henry Stein, the original creator of the Bendy character. Why Henry starts up the small ink machine...I honestly don't know. But it summons Bendy, who instinctually tries to kill Henry. Bendy later spares Henry, just once, for 2 reasons: 1) Henry is in the magical Little Miracle Station and that's just how the game works, 2) upon looking inside, he recognizes Henry, his true creator, and chooses to leave him alone, either out of recognition of authority or sheer curiosity at what he'll do next. Notice that in Chapter 5, Bendy's throne is built on an inky mound of projector heads -- the remnants of Norman Polk/The Projectionist killed and reborn, over and over. Bendy didn't kill the Projectionist with the aim of saving Henry -- he was tracking Henry down to kill him himself when he noticed the Projectionist, the one creature capable of showing him "The End." Bendy doesn't want an ending, he wants a story, a purpose, something he will unfortunately never have in his current condition.
Later, Henry is killed and reborn, perhaps as perfect Bendy. Though this theory conflicts with the idea of being claimed by the ink, perhaps Henry has some kind of "chosen one" immunity because he wasn't killed in the outside world, but within the Ink Machine's world. This would explain why Tom doesn't trust Henry. He's not only grumpy to begin with, but he knows enough about the cartoon universe to understand that the Alice Angel character was meant to be a love interest for the Bendy character. Tom cares deeply for and is very protective of his Alice (Allision Pendleton) and thus bullies and eventually abandons Henry to save himself and his relationship (which wasn't in any real danger, honestly). Of course, Tom later trusts Henry after witnessing his confrontation with the reborn Sammy Lawrence (probably an "enemy of my enemy is my friend" sort of thing, because no one likes Sammy. Henry also proved himself to be quite brave and resourceful to make it to the docks by himself, something former engineer Tom would admire).
Finally, Henry confronts his old creation, now the corrupted Ink Demon, and defeats him by finally putting an end to Bendy and the studio's horrible story. The Ink Demon's defeat supposedly destroys the timeline as we know it, and Henry discovers that his old friends have been happily married and retired for many years from the letters they've sent Joey Drew, who previously reached out to them. We're back at the moment Henry first agrees to enter the world of the studio, the moment Joey has been waiting for: to send a "savior" into the Machine and "set free" his employees once and for all. But because Henry died within, his soul is still trapped inside its world, and the Machine was never turned off. It is an entity of its own, after all, even without Bendy, its first creation. And so, Henry is pulled back into the reset loop of Bendy Hell, to "push a little harder," as Joey puts it, to finally set things right. Henry uses Tom's old creation and some kind of invisible ink to warn his future self of what's to come, hoping he can make it through the game and defeat Bendy for good. But he hasn't yet, and his memory is beginning to fade after all of these years of dying and being reborn, trying and failing. The question is: can Henry really set them free, when he's trapped himself?
Just a theory :)
EDIT: If you've gotten this far, thanks for reading! :)

Dramatic stuff
Wooow, you should make a theory video about this yourself. Seemed very solid on its own :o.
so basically when joey says to check the studio, and you go there and notice an ink machine but you remember NOTHING. you just set it on because of 'curiousity' and oilah! bendy is REBORN!🎉 but you try to escape without turning the ink machine OFF, you just run away to the exit but its too late, you triggered the loop (again). you fall deeper into the studio untill you face bendy. when you play the 'the end' disc, it ends THAT universe, but because the ink machine is still on, it makes another universe, so another loop, another studio, another henry that explores the studio, another henry that activates another ink machine, etc. so you will never be 'free'
A game theory! Thanks for reading. Could have added that. But please make a video on this it is so promising!
Deeeaaam, that was awesome, Super Horror Bro you are amazing, one of the best youtubers ever

before watching this video: the ending is actually the beginning. if anything, joey sent the letter, henry visited the man and then he went or that letter was a paper memory before heading to the studio. my other thing is - henry was there to clean joey's mess. joey knows he messed up but can't right his wrongs because henry was there to fix it, so to fix a huge mistake, 'henry imma need you at the studio to kill your little devil darling real last' it has this other meaning to me, henry left waaay before the downfall of the studio, joey made sure henry was seeing it to its end. - also, joey had bendy locked up inside the vault for god knows how long! a soul cant connect to something without meaning so having to force or trick people into being characters was never going to work, susie had ties with alice but when she was talking about fixing it and mean joey, that cute and sweet part was twisted, so now you have a trick and angry woman wanting her part back. bendy was summoned by a ritual, no doubt someone didn't know what they were doing and a demon took hold of the ink, Bendy was a puppet in all this, only when henry had the key to destroy the demon did the cartoon disappear to reveal the 'true demon within'. dying and coming back is like reincarnation, some memories will stay, others...gone in the mist of death and rebirth. - or maybe joey is a child and is telling stories involving henry to put him through hell and back. no doubt if that was a story, he was a damn good one to have a child want another one, involving henry once again.
I don't think Bendy can be called a puppet. He was an uncontrollable abomination without a soul. He is the embodiment of the demonic and evil nature of the Ink Machine's power.
@@williamharmon4039 im going off of thomas conners tape. 'theres something unworldly about him' the character bendy was a masked puppet to house a real soulless demon.
Irae Wolph
No, he was made from demonic ink by an evil machine with supernatural power. There was no outside force possessing him because he himself was the demon.
@@williamharmon4039 a powerful demon that took the form of BENDY THE CARTOON CHARACTER! we are literally saying the same thing right now William H.
Irae Wolph
Okay. I think I get it now.
I just have one problem with this theory - the fact that Henry came to the studio because he received a letter. It directly contradicts the assumption that Henry _visited_ Joey's house, and Joey _spoke_ to him and hence asked him to go to the studio.
And doesn't it feel strange that Henry sent a picture to Joey congratulating him on his success - when Joey's company was falling into ruin?
And we still have no explanation why some people like Allison think Henry is a savior, while others like Tom thought he was dangerous. Also if Henry was duped and brought into the studio and reincarnated just like Allison and Tom were, then why doesn't the ink affect him like it affects the others?
I'm not entirely sure of what the truth is, but I'm pretty sure that Henry in the material world is dead. There's no other reason why a congratulatory message from him would be framed, unless it was in the memory of the sender.
The theory I'm most fond of is a world where Henry is dead because Joey killed him, resenting him leaving behind the partnership and cartoon characters they had invested so much in. Like Allison and Tom, who also got successful jobs, he lured them back to the old studio and killed them, hoping to resurrect some cartoon characters with their souls. Henry is probably not a cartoon though, otherwise he'd definitely be overwhelmed by the ink, and couldn't defy Bendy.
I do think Henry is stuck in a loop though, since while he's bringing closure to the cartoons of the studio he's unable to avenge the circumstances of his own death.
What?
A: he visited Joey's house because of letter
B: the game is a movie with Joey reflecting back on how bad he treated the workers and the success that Henry was talking about is the movie and the ink and the ink is a metaphor the movie was sort of to make amends
@@rubyruby2446 uh I don't think Joey had the money to make a movie, nor was he the type of person to apologise publicly for what he did lol
I'm pretty sure Tom hated Henry for a little while just cause he still had memories of his wife but since he couldn't talk, he couldn't explain anything to her. So with Henry showing up and Allison showing him affection he gets all jealous and possessive and is like "HEY u better stay the hell away from ma wife or else!"
Well:
For 1:When Joey gave Henry a letter,he went to the studio and got killed,then he was reincarnated,put in a cartoon world,stuck in an loop,trying to get out,but cant escape bendy's wrath
2:Then,the picture with the letter by Henry must be before the workshop was in ruins,and Joey's quote,unquote "crooked empire"
12:01
AHEM, Boris' hand is clipping through the table Sin Count: 1
My goodness no dont do this xD
LOL
lol 😂
Is this the new animation sins?
@@chennyxiuuy1724 No, this is Videogame Sins lol
I think Joey hopes that in one of the loops, Henry’s soul gets recycled into Bendy. Since Henry was the original creator of Bendy, Joey may believe only his soul can truly bring Bendy to life.
Your right
I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this yet, BUT the date on the "calander" at the end of the of Chapter 5 when you're talking to Joey always changes date. Does this mean anything important?
Gis Sanchi really? Wow nice catch
maybe it means that time is passing by which could support the loop theory.
He did say he has more to go off on than this simple theory, I think he didn't forget the calendar.
He didn't say anything about Wally or his grave that should be there if he's been part of this whole mess.
yeah, i noticed this yesterday and keep hoping someone will cover it. it should also be noted that the month is August and that above the drawings on the table, there is another calander with August 31st circled
Yes!! I noticed this too! Is it always August on the calendar?
Thx dude, I needed this cause I’m still confused about the ending lmao 🤣
Still more so wait
I'm pretty sure everybody who liked your comment agrees
I think Henry became perfect Bendy by ending “Bendy”. Indeed, if the studio works like a cartoon, then it needs a protagonist and aside from Boris and Alice, the real protagonist that we didn’t yet see is Bendy. It’ll also explain how Henry can leave these secret message with glowing ink as he is the protagonist of this twisted story. Plus, it’ll explain WHY ON EARTH HENRY ACTIVATED THE INK MACHINE WITHOUT BEING TOLD SO. If he’s the protagonist, he needs a lore, so something needs to happen.
Plus, his relationship with Connor Boris really makes me think of the relationship between Bendy and Boris in the cartoon, with Boris always antagonizing him (but that’s far fetched I’ll give you that).
I think henry IS the protagonist, so he doesn't need to become one
SuperBendy 958 I meant in the “cartoon reality” that Bro was talking about in the video, if it’s a cartoony world then he needs to be a cartoon too right ? Realistic cartoon didn’t exist much in his time I think? That’s what made me think he became Bendy but I could be wrong.
Well the ink machine in the ending seems close to where Henry seemingly wakes up it also explains the loops because just make another clone
Well, you have a good point there. But what would be the point? After all, if everything was going to reset anyways, wouldn't he just become henry again anyways?
SuperBendy 958 Yeah you’re right I guess it’s weird but maybe not everything resets? If it did, how could the writing that Henry did on the wall be there ? I don’t know I think we’ll know more in the sequel of Bendy and the Ink Machine.
I had another theory where the little voice in the end may be perfect Bendy as Joey wanted to bring his character to life and he succeeded by sending Henry, the creator, in an never ending loop ? But again that’s far fetched. Still, how could the little voice be Henry’s child when it’s already been 30 years ? If it was his grandchild I’ll understand but we hear “Uncle Joey” at the end, so it can’t be...
"You probably have two questions "
Yeah, how does Sammy Lawrence remember his name?
Oh.
He’s built different
@@HiHello-cw9vc and @Samantha Gooding. Hol up. There was never a part of Sammy Lawrence saying or remembering he's name. Never was, he only appeared at Chapter 2 and Chapter 5 and never said he's name or remember. But wait... Nevermind
But Alice Angel remembers Sammy as "he was once a very handsome man".
There can be multiple endings,
Henry gets everyones memories back in the studio.
Henry sets the studio on fire.
Henry fights the ink demon with a weapon, etc.
I don't believe the little voice is Henry's daughter or grandchild. Henry is in his 50's or 60's,meaning any of his children are adults,and I honestly can't believe Henry would just leave his grandchild with Joey.
I think it's a Bendy made from that rusty Ink Machine,you can even hear inky noises right before the voice. And it would make sense that he called Joey "Uncle Joey" because Joey would technically be an uncle for Bendy since Henry would be more of a father.
0.0 i agree with you if only we could had seen him turning around looking at the new bendy
So it was Henry's and Joey's "Little devil darling".
OMG YES
I disagree
This would have been a great theory! If it wasn’t for the fact that the voice sounds more like a young girl than a cartoon young demon boy. (Why did I word it like that?) good job though! 9/10!

I will respond to this: Henry is a Frisk
This was a very well made theory video but I have to say the “Creator you Traitor” at 7:13 is in fact a direct reference of the BATIM Song by DAGames. Not a hidden message from a past Henry but rather an Easter egg from The Meatly.
if it was an easter egg it would be " your the creator, you traitor"
Kaka Hass No it’s not the DAGames jukebox is in the same room as the “Creator you Traitor” , and is literally on the floor in front of it. Also the fact you know the song and some of its lyrics means that you must also see the similarities and agree as well that it is indeed a reference to DAGames song.
Kaka Hass but your opinion is your opinion, believe what you want.

Oké Eveee
Ok it bugs me when I dont understand something so I've been trying to figure it out.
if they're both different realities then how come when Joey sends you to the workshop you're inside the workshop that means you're in the same reality and I mention which means his theory makes no sense
Eveee Of the Lost Woods the story is never going to end I'm pretty sure it's going to keep going until like chapter 20 because there's going to be a chapter 6 The Shed good morning comments there will be a chapter 6
This theory is really good, but if Henry was sacrificed and reborn into the cartoon world why is he still human? He can wade through the ink even in the cartoon world which other reborn characters like Alison, Tom or Alice can’t do.
How do we know that he's human?
ApatheticRobot well he certainly isn’t reborn through ink or he wouldn’t be able to wade through
Serif The Skeleton when you get hit, ink starts to cover your screen

Nice!
I only have one question:
When Henry is in fact dead, wouldn't that mean he also has an "inky body"? Because I thought, he was the only one from the trio in chapter 5 who could "swim" through the ink, because of his human body. So can he really be dead?
Idk, just a thought..😅😅
That's what I'm confused too.
My theory is that this is all just a story/fairytale by Joey, which is being told to his daughter.
@@Fizzybones111 Interesting.. 🤔
@@lizzy7364 it's because the characters in the game (Henry etc) are shown to be alive in the real world through the letter/photo in Joey's house.
2)In the end Joey's daughter even tells him to "tell another story". Soo all along the BATIM was just a tale.
3)Henry, the character we play in the game is a fictional char created by Joey inspired by his partner(Henry).
4) In the game it's also told that Henry is alive not dead, so his theory about Henry being a dead person is also wrong.
@@Fizzybones111 Welp Batdr seems to debunk this ig
@@_noirette_ Yep.
I wonder if there is a secret canon ending where Henry escapes the loop.

No, it’s Audrey (your character in The Dark Revival) the writing is Audrey saving you life

@@Sam-Pound yeah but he sucks
Ok....
YES FINALLY!!!!! I never understand what it meant at the end but thanks you for explaining it
So a couple things I noticed that seems no one else has commented on. First the river monster, in Chapter 4 in the research and development area, if you look up their is a giant Bendy hand hanging there, when you combine Lacie's tape to that in the same area stating that they move behind her back. So knowing this its possible the hand in the river originated from there!. Second I believe Henry is dead and his soul was used in the machine. If you look at all the ones that have audio logs -Joey Drew they all are dead and have been converted to a cartoon representation of them selves. I believe Henry is "good Bendy" they all call him Henry cause they have no memory just like Alice calls "Boris" Tom and same Alice does not know who she is. Also this is why Sammie recognizes Henry in chapter two but cant place him. Also in Chapter 5 when Sammie confronts Henry he says "you said you would set me free" well he always thought Bendy would set him free also why the lost one s are now angry at him, and my last bit of a clue is if you look closely at the story board on the desk in Joey's apartment you see a frame where Brute Boris is holding "good Bendy" looks very similar to the battle that Henry had with him there is also a frame of "good Bendy" holding the Tommy Gun and another frame of "good Bendy" looking to be writing something on the floor, hmm secret message for the tool maaabbbyy?? This for me tells Henry is the good bendy!!!! (its just a theory but its my thoughts so far) I have not figured out though why the ink wont swallow Henry or why he's different but I truly believe Henry is "good Bendy" SuperHorrorBro I want to thank you for your Bendy videos they really made me think and its why I was able to really think about what I saw in the game finding clues to things I may have missed so thank you for your Channel!!!!! Also if you look through the special tool during the Boris Battle it shows names above the portraits. I am guessing they represent developers that worked on the game :D , I found I had to die during the Brute Boris fight to get the tool to work. One last thought also on the story board their is a frame that has Beast Bendy holding the End Reel and the caption is "Bendy Wins" , is this the change that needs to happen?? do we need to some how let Beast Bendy destroy the end reel??
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEÉEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Is sammy not sammie Is wrong
i think either you have to let demon bendy win like you said or that painting could back up the point that henry may be good bendy as it says "bendy wins" and sicne he is bendy and puts the reel in at the end or maybe for the next game it is saying he will win
hmm yup looking closer I realised all Are Sammy but the one where good bendy is drawing on floor. I till believe Henry is good bendy thanks for correcting me on the Sammy thing. :D Just to Add would it not be odd for Sammy to fight Brute Boris, kinda thought Brute Boris was one of a kind?? SuperHorrorBro! please do a theory on the drawings on Joeys Drews Desk!!! would love your insight on that!!!!
@@islaxoxo8448 good point! interesting either way, I hope they do bring out more chapters or a 2nd to finalise the story but I fear they may leave it open ended! I hope not I NEED CL OSIER lol :D
In the last scene (where the little girl is talking to "uncle" Joey) there is an inc machine it another room
This is my theory:
So I believe Wally, Tom and Alison and Henry were the only workers who got out of the studio and the others are trapped, so when Joey gets a letter from them he realised they are not trapped in the studio and so he tells them to come to the studio in hope that they can defeat the ink demon and set the trapped workers free. Once Alison and Tom get there they get turned into Alice Angel and Boris by the ink demon and lose their memory Henry does not. I don't really like the loop theory if it's true I am a little bit disappointed
But there is a flaw in your theory, Henry doesn't remember everything until the end. We see this in a replay in chapter 1 with the Invisible ink finder that Henry had played through this story over 300 times. (Yes I counted up the tallies) So he wouldn't remember a promise that he made with Sammy in one of his previous incarnation cycles.
Lady famine , I mean Henry rememebers his past before the studio not his previous incarnation cycles
Wally died as the Boris clone In chapter 4
Brooke queseda yes, but he was reborn from the ink like Sammy Lawerence
Quick question...
I did not see Sammy Lawrence's coffin in the glowing ink, so does that mean he is technically still alive?
If this is true they should add a secret ending or the real ending.
My theory for why Joey invited Henry was to make sure that no one from this other world escapes, Henry is what's keeping the loop going and is keeping Bendy at bay, preventing him from leaving the studio.
What if the ending just showed how it all began
The bendy and the ink machine is the game that describes the layers of hell and all of it lined up perfectly with the story
I waited for this omg. I don't even understand how that was an ending... xD
@Azuki did you like the end? I did not
White Screen I liked it but it left more questions than answers
@Azuki, yes, but TheMeatly should have awnsered questions, I did not like it because I think that Joey was just telling Linda, (Henry’s daughter? From the tape) stories, I thought it would have been better, like Henry escapes (somehow) and sets everyone free, but that did not happen, they should have awnsered more questions.
10:12 Sammy doesn't die. Cuz he attacks you in chapter 5.
potato 25 and got killed by tom... it would be better if Sammy joined them because bendy trie to kill Sammy on chapter 2
It makes my blood boil when the evil guy wins. >:(
WeirdWalrus there there....if goods always win then it would make this game the same as any other game
@@nightmarenightingale8378 ya
2:37 Ok sooo I have one question that intrigues me a lot in here. How did Henry not dissolve in the inky river that was at front of Bendy's fortress. Even Alison (good Alice) said that she and Tom can't Go with Henry to Bendy's lair becouse they are made of ink and, after entering the inky river, They would become a part of it. Henry then corsses and exits river without anything bad happening to him. If Henry was a cartoon inky creation like Alison or Tom, whouldn't Alison try to stop him? Henry was their last hope and alison seemd to like him, why, then, wouldn't she try to stop him. Also, if she lied to henry so she won't be forced to go whith him, then why woldnt she do this? Hanry, Tom and Alisson literally massacred the whole village of searches's And lost ones's without any harm happening to our trio?
Plz answear
thanks in advance
EDIT: THX for 2 likes. We need to unite if we want to get answear. This theory is good, yet still this question kinda destroys it.
I don't think Henry is made of ink only everything else around him. Which is why everyone thinks it's strange that Henry is in the cartoon reality since he isn't a cartoon
In joeys apartment next to the tv i swear to god i saw sammy with a shotgun
lies
When?
Me to!
Yeah he has it
Where??
Love your channel! Thx for all the theories
At the end, in the ink machine room(which you would have to hack into) there is a newspaper saying “Local artist found dead at desk after pushing too hard) I believe this further confirms that Henry is dead because Henry sees his old desk twice.
My opinion is a flashback how about the messages well maybe Henry didn't write it it might be a lost one who was like Henry what about the falling well he was reborn maybe when the ink went to Henry it made him a cartoon ish so he can survive great high places how about the elevator well maybe he was reborn idk this is my theory like if u agree
Code red! Code red! Your icon is dab! Dabs are dead! I am the dab police!
I don’t believe there is a never ending loop. I believe that the final scene in Chapter 5 with Joey was simply just a flashback to what started Henry’s adventure in the first place.
What about secret phrases in chapters 1-4?
Please
Bro 5mins later this game that is what i thought so bro
Bitter fox If it is a loop then wouldn’t the creation of the hidden messages also be undone?
Yeah but in the first chapter Joey ask Henry by letter to go to the workshop whereas now it’s in person
Chapter 5 has such a different feel from the rest of game. I don’t know exactly how or why, but it doesn’t really feel like BATIM as much
I believe the little girl at the end of the game might have been Henry's daughter. Because, you know how when 2 friends are close enough, the consider each other siblings? I think this might have been the case between Henry and Joey. If this is true, then Henry would've wanted his daughter to refer to Joey as, "Uncle Joey". And this girl might have been the reason that Henry left so long ago. Besides, we do hear her say that when seeing the gift from Henry Stein. And she might have been the exact reason that Henry tried so desperately to leave the studio in the game.
Could be that the final scene is what happened before the events of chapter one. That’s just what I think
Wait, how did Allison Connor exist after Allison Angel and Tom Boris? Maybe that's the end and meeting Joey Drew was the start, the first part of the apartment is where Henry returns home and the second part of the apartment is where he meet Joey Drew, at the start!
this is probably the best explanation
there's lots of evidence, proof, and it explains so much
i can't think of any contradictions
i'm also excited to see the more in depth theories about this, and although it is completely up to interpretation, i don't think there's any theories that are better, so awesome job and thanks for making it more clear
I get the "creator you trator" clue now its hinting to the song
"Build our machine" because those are tthe words in the song
Creator you traitor was actually a reference to the song that plays in that room lol.
I know but it is a double meaning as Joey Drew also betrayed everyone.
i agree that Henry might be in an time loop but what if the massages are from people who bein in the studio who are trying to warn people to stay away and don't turn on the ink
Yes was literally waiting for your video
Loved your vids as always
Looking forward to new vids ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This goes WAY WAY WAY deeper than even I like to think! Five stars on this!
So sad to see it end. But it isn’t over. SuperHorrorBro Mike and the Ink Machine. Maybe there is another ending
Bro you are soo cool and this video is amazing. When the first time I watched this chp. 5 is amazing. And also they said they creating another bendy.
What do u mean another bendy? A new game?
@SAMUEL CHICHONI BATIM is just a beginning.
There are still more to BATIM. When will they come? When will they announce? Who knows. let's just wait until TheMeatly has very good idea.
i feel like henry is just repeating the same stuff over and over again and he knows that he is stuck in this infinite loop and he cant escape it
Edit: What if a plot twist was that allison was Linda?!
Linda didn't work at the studio though.
Linda is the kid.
Allison is married to Tom, did u not listen to the damn video? SHB said it and he showed a letter from both Allison and Tom -_-
Can we just appreciate the incredible voice acting in this game? Its the best voice acting in a game I've ever heard
I noticed there are projectionist heads at the ink puddly base of the throne. I was wondering if they have some sort of significance?
I'm wondering that as well. Multiple projectionist heads makes me think the ink machine does more than make a template of the toon or monsters. Perhaps it makes a template of the souls as well and pair it to it's designated creation. This might be why there's so many of those projectionist heads and another one spawning after you kill it in the previous chapter.
Maybe the part when Joey sends you to the studio is just a showing of what happened right before the beginning of chapter 1. That’s just what I think
So if they make a Chapter 6 to 10 and you become Bendy with a Spirit you the player will not be able to walk in the Inc?
There is no chapter 6 to 10
New game is coming
Also Piedmont said "You dont own me"
I noticed how if you go into the right spot in every chapter you get to see the ink machine lowering and what you get to the giant ink machine at the end you find out that whole time it was lowering onto the giant machine
Hmm, SuperhorrorBro. Quick question, if Henry is presumed dead, what is his form then? Plus, how come Henry doesn't disappear from the ink like what Allison said in chapter 5? Plus, how come Sammy and Alice know him? Is he human? Or a cartoon with the face of his old self? I mean, this is one wall no one decided to break or look at!
Anyone Help Me?
he was never actually reborn into an inky creation, because he has much more memory from before he entered the
loop. sammy and alice know him becuase of past loops, he's probably human as he can go in the ink.
I think the reason why Henry can go through the ink is because he is another form of Bendy. The reason why I think this is because Ink Bendy can go through the ink too.
@@demented_the_dev_yt8961, that can be true....except how come Alice Angel Already knew his name? Even who we was?
Gah! Freaking Meatley is Trying to be Scott from the Fnaf Series!
PikaRed21 I think it could be because she somehow knew that Henry created the original Bendy design, idk.
@@demented_the_dev_yt8961, maybe....but, she was caught in greed and all, plus....if Joey wanted Henry at the studio to die, but be re animated.....why didn't Joey think of that first then hiding away? Or see someone be victim to that?
Idk how this works but I believe Susie is the good Alice Angel, due to the end credits. It would make sence that Alice in chap 3 would say Dreams come true Susie, because she's thinking herself Alison is the perfect Alice Angel, but because she's new voice actor, she didn't have the true connection, therefore when Susie changed into the true good Alice, Alison got jelous because that was her job, therefore either convinced people or turned herself into the bad alice Angel. She also has Susie coffin in her room full of dead Borris's to remember her hate for Susie.
I wonder what happened to Alice's body after The Lost Ones found it?
Allison Angel, she was the good one.
I do have a theory that Henry is living in his own hell. Think about it going through the studio he has to fight so many monsters and get tortured. Then after it's done it happened all over again. Also the writings could be from Henry from when he was there before so many times so that maybe just maybe there could be a change but it's hell. Satan will try and torture you in every single way,and so this is Henry's way of being tortured.
I refuse to believe Henry is in some kind of cartoon reality/time loop, it's a lazy cop-out that doesn't leave a satisfying ending and gives a big middle finger to all the theories since they mean nothing as Henry is reliving this story all over again. All of Henry's choices mean nothing because it's not real.
I hope theMeatly adds another ending, a true ending to the game that leaves a satisfying ending.
WE NEED THE COLORFUL REALITY TO BE AS YELLOW AS THE STUDIO TO CLARIFY THAT IT WASNT A DREAM!
Edit: we also need it to be not a loop
Well Henry is in a loop.... The seeing tool shows messages that only Henry would say like on a Boris poster it says "I'm sorry buddy" and after you fall it says "I always fall".... But a second game could be Henry breaking the loop.... Freeing himself and escaping the studio/ cartoon world....
Well that explains it. Linda is Henry’s daughter
The only thing I find wrong with this is: At the end, none of the other revived workers can go through that pool of ink to the ink machine, but henry can, and they describe him as still being human, and not being like them. So, if he is one, why can he do that?
Everything in this game makes me even feel like every update of the chapters are part of different loops as well, if we follow that eternal loop theory.
Stupid speculation, but it would be cool.
The words that the little girl says at the very end of the game are”Tell me another one, uncle Joey”, so maybe it can just be a story that Joey invented, but it also can not refer to anything, I don’t know
i know who that little girl who saied *tell me another one uncle joey* its henry's daughter. wait a minute, IS BENDY AND THE INK MACHINE IS JUST A STORY!?!?¿?¿?!¡¿¡?¿¡
Then that means Henry WAS in fact killed and Joey is the only one to survive his own hell.

Mind Diamond but Alison said she doesn’t know what he is so maybe he is just a human
I NEEDED THIS!!!! LIKE WTF!?!
TheBoe-eyes I agree with you
Wait. Wally franks isn’t real?

I’M OUTTA HERE >:(
Wally Franks deserves the world gOd
Wow I love this subscribed
Definitely the best theory i have heard so far. Good job!
for some reason bendy is surposed to get banished at the end of the game.
i have a reason for why bendy, never did get banished.
the reason why bendy never got banished was because, over the loops of time, the ink demon grew more powerful than ever.
now, without this mascot, banished from reality, bendy and the ink machine or bendy and the dark revival never would have gave in.
instead the workshop would have stayed the same, joey drew never invited henry to the workshop,
and the cycle would continue, the studio would have tons of people rollin' in and talking alot!
if henry didnt set things right, the cycle would continue and the batim workshop would have stayed open.
tho, joey drew did spend all his funds on upgrading his "business tycoon,"
but without henrys help, the workshop would not exist.
so joey drew did not have the rights to give in henry to do his bidding.
so i'm not sure if joey has the 78% or henry does.
*i thought he was gonna say that Henry is Thanos*
Lol
Lol!
Woah
Hell of a twist
Lol
