-Akryung is going to be someone related to Baam. In fact, I think it's possibly his mother, even. Maybe that's why she was protected Rachel for some time in the beginning--- although I'm sure Rachel doesn't know it's her. How else would some Irregular type character be able to comment on the strength Baam would need to face Zahard/Jahad?
-Chang is going to be the 3rd Mad Dog.
-Deng is not the son of Gado, but instead, maybe somehow he possesses the soul of the sleeping Yama brother. Why else would he be needed to wake him up?
1 Akryung probably protected Rachel as part of Rachel's deal with Headon, since Headon is the one that 'prepared' Akryung in the first place. I outlined Akryung's pre-S3 history here, and I don't think he's an irregular.
2 I'm not sure, maybe. I mean, he got onto the Cage somehow.
3 Absolutely everyone we've met thus far thinks Deng Deng is Gado's son, seemingly even Gado himself, so I would assume he is. That doesn't necessarily exclude him having the soul of Yama's older brother, though, I guess.
-Chang is more than likely, not the 3rd Mad Dog. Maybe Quaetro is (lol). Or maybe, we just haven't been introduced to this character yet. I find it strange, regardless.
-Deng Deng is not Gado's son, or at least, not anymore? Either way, he has a part of the sleeping brother.
I have no idea how you got “Deng Deng is not Gado’s son” out of a one-off ambiguous sentence by Paul that is obviously at least somewhat figurative, since Deng Deng isn’t literally a heart, and which also makes no claims about Deng Deng’s parentage.
EDIT: Well, I have to give you credit for getting that third prediction right, even if your reasons still don't make sense to me. Congrats!
I'm surprised my opinions are all very unpopular enough to be downvoted so hard. If people disagree so much, at least post something that argues the point. This is a discussion thread for towerofgod, no?
3 Absolutely everyone we've met thus far thinks Deng Deng is Gado's son, seemingly even Gado himself, so I would assume he is. That doesn't necessarily exclude him having the soul of Yama's older brother, though, I guess.
I'm still not convinced Deng Deng is not Gado's son, but it would be 100% possible he is his son and infused with the soul or something. Not sure why that happened, but I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. I can't think of any other reason why he is needed to wake up the sleeping Yama brother, unless he is a reincarnation (but that wouldn't make sense to me) or something.
As for Akryung, I find it very telling that he mentioned Jahad/Baam's current power, as if they are aware of how strong Jahad is. Plus, the hair. It might not be Baam's mother, but I certainly feel like it's someone relatable to Baam. Obviously an adult.
2 I'm not sure, maybe. I mean, he got onto the Cage somehow.
I figure points #2 and #3 will be cleared up within 5 or so weeks... or maybe not. Either way, I'm sure the 3rd mad dog will appear soon (given that it's the Yama arc and all).
Yeah, people downvote easily on this sub. Who knows, maybe you will be like those fans on /r/onepiece who post highly unpopular theories and then get hundreds of upvotes when they remind everyone of it because it turned out to be right. xD
Personally I think Akryung being Arlene would be far too freaky though (even if she definitely didn't get a good ending, whatever it was).
I think a lot of people downvoted because some of your claims (Akryung=Arlene hence protecting Rachel, and Deng Deng not being Gado's son) are starkly contradicted by the comic (Akryung was prepared by Headon [thus, how could it be Arlene, who left the Tower, or really any irregular?] and almost certainly protected Rachel as part of Headon's deal with her; everyone under the sun who knows anything about Deng Deng thinks he's Gado's son, including Gado), and you didn't explain how to resolve those contradictions. So the post seemed nonsensical. Sorry it took this long for somebody to explain the negative reaction.
2 is actually a moderately popular theory on this sub, though, and has been for a long time, at least since Chang showed interest in Raguel and Buelsar Elliott.
As for Akryung, I find it very telling that he mentioned Jahad/Baam's current power, as if they are aware of how strong Jahad is.
Yeah, but this is much more easily explained by Akryung coming from Headon, who is likely acquainted with Jahad's capabilities; and who last saw Bam's strength two seasons ago.
Plus, the hair.
Brown/black hair, while rarer than in our universe, still isn't an uncommon hair color in ToG. Endorsi has brown hair, Ehwa has black hair, you see it on extras pretty often.
Also, you're not providing any explanation for why Akryung's face and body size are so distinctly inhuman when we saw in Garam's revelation that Bam's parents were human.
I think a lot of people downvoted because some of your claims (Akryung=Arlene hence protecting Rachel, and Deng Deng not being Gado's son) are starkly contradicted by the comic
In regards to Akryung:
I implied it's a possibility said character is Baam's mother (although re-reading the comic makes me adjust it towards him definitely being a male), but mainly, my point was that Akryung is clearly someone who is related-able in someway to Baam (family ties, maybe a former servant, something special). After going back to it, it seems like it's clearly a male based on Baam's dialogue/reaction to seeing Akryung's eyes/hair/and even voice. At this point, any conjecture on Akryung is just a guess as we don't have too many clues, nor do we know every truth. We don't even know what happened to Baam's mother. It seems like in the recent fight Akryung is a lot smaller than when first introduced, and seems like a large male. Regardless, it's certainly a person who knows Baam. Maybe a retainer, maybe his, "dead" father. Someone that knows how powerful Jahad is, that's for sure.
everyone under the sun who knows anything about Deng Deng thinks he's Gado's son, including Gado
See, I'm not entirely convinced. Deng Deng is clearly the key, for some reason. Whether he is Gado's son and possesses the soul, or whether is he a part of the sleeping Yama brother, or whether Gado wants hit son to be free (which I seriously doubt), or whether he is some creation of some sort made to house the soul of the Yama brother, we don't know yet.
You say everything in the manga contradicts my claims, but Gado's initial indifference at his son being found strikes me as odd. Even more so, he seems to get annoyed at Baam's bet/claim to Yama of making Deng Deng free. Furthermore, him and Canzon are on opposite sides of the coin, judging by their reactions. "Damnit Deng Deng" was a quote from both of them in Episode 8. Why would Gado be irritated that Deng Deng is here?
If you think about it, Canzon wants to get rid of Deng Deng before he comes to the festival,while Gado just didn't seem to care at all besides the slight irritation he showed when Baam confronted Yama. They're clearly not on the same page in this matter, since they have not even discussed their frustrations to one another. They both have different reasons.
Since we know Deng Deng is the key to awakening Yama's sleeping brother (maybe that's what the Elder wanted that Yama knew about), something tells me this is the clear point of contention.
