A new idea for the Phantom Slasher

[silent_empath]

what I meant was that those names should be the PS's REAL name

yeah like when we actually meet the PS and find out who it was.....if it's not Giaus...ahem.....i understood ya chip

"The Ninja"? Seriously? did he wear black and throw shurikens all the time?

No, he climbed up the sides of houses and entered through vents and such... Not exactly sure how that led the police to call him "The ninja".

The Phantom Slasher is an awesome title. It's a name that actually... you know... scares you. Not many villian names do that. Ganondorf. Bowser. Sauron(well, maybe a little). Really, scary names are hard to come by. I think the Phantom Slasher is a perfect name.

teh fanta slasher!!1!11!

It would be cooler if he DID throw shurikens

Phantom Slasher can't be Rhue. And I'll be disappointed if it is. But you can't go pleading to Lun that he won't make it be.

And the PS could be anyone for all we know. People seem to disappear with 'unfinished business to attend to' so often...

Would it be possible that the Phantom Slasher isn't just one person? Maybe it's kind of like a spirit of the Purpose or something that posses somebody to do it's bidding. So then, therefore, Rhue, Traziun, Gaius, could all be the Phantom Slasher. The would also explain why sometimes, Rhue would be awake and see the Phantom Slasher, or some stuff like that.

Maybe even the shadow man of the Pits was something similar, and even if he was Traziun, it could be the same or similar "spirit". Maybe it was the Lord of the Pits, and when/if Rhue's sword goes crazy, it means that the Purpose "spirit" comes down and lends Rhue a hand or something. There are a few problems with this theory, such as instances where Rhue's sword goes crazy, and he's not fighting a necessary "evil" person, like when he plunges Slade in Episode 5. It might be explained that Rhue was helped by the Lord of the Pits, and that the wanderers on the Way are sort of like sentinent Chess pieces in some sort of deadly game.

Oh yes, I just realized something, this is a tad off topic though, so, meh, here it goes. the Blana Sera are bitter enemies of the Guided. It is largely assumed that Gaius is the second "blade" of Kalmar. But why he then dealing with the Guided? It would seem right if he was dealing with the rebels, to mess up the Guided even more, but he was dealing with Loyalists. Kinda...ironic.

Why does everone remember the guy form the pits, but not the guy fomr the dream like world in E5?

[silent_empath]

i remember midian
....
what i wanna know is....Who was that girl waiting for?

[Chip]

That girl....perhaps Chasta....was waiting for her brother....perhaps Slade...

[Leo]

That girl....perhaps Chasta....was waiting for her brother....perhaps Slade...

SLADE! SLADE! Who said Slade!?

[Excell]

Dude, he's dead. Forget about him. Now.

[Chip]

Is that second Estrana a ghost of the now-deserted Estrana? Dead Estrana is kind of like an afterlife, it seems.

[Koren The Wanderer]

Maybe the Dream Estrana has something to do with Rhue's sword and the people in Dream Estrana are people that Rhue has killed/stabbed with his sword. That would explain why Jed was there.. And that shadow guy you fight before you see those visions of Slade's past, was the shadow of the guy you could optionally plunge with on the Marna stretch. Also, that girl, if it was Chasta, maybe she was looking for Slade, who has had Rhue's sword implanted in him. And if it was Chasta, that means Rhue would've have to shed blood at the hands of Rhue's sword(or perhaps another shadow sword). Now.. If Chasta is Scatha(I'd go into all the reasons, but I assume you guys already know), then maybe if Scatha plunges with Rhue in a later episode(there are Scatha plunge sprites in rm2k) and Rhue injured Scatha.. That would explain why Chasta was in Dream Estrana. And I do believe Midian and Rhue have something in common... (Like how the headhunter in E2 called Rhue Midian) I just don't know what.

And this is all probably wrong, because I just thought this up off the top of my head right now.. But hey, speculating is fun!

[silent_empath]

it couldn't have been Chasta waiting for her brother.....she said that she was waiting for her boyfriend.....i know she has to tie in somehow but i can't figure it out yet.....unless she's the grown up Serena waiting for Rhue/Midian/Jeruh not sure what to call him anymore.....and i don't think that it's a dream Estrana so much as maybe the plane on which the aura of a person exists perhaps and even after you die your aura continues to move along the way...that last part has no proof and is simply specualtion but it makes sense to me.
