WordOfGod states that Balrog is soap. Jenka owns numerous dogs. Dogs, as most dog owners can attest, need baths. What do you need for a bath? Soap. Jenka probably created Balrog out of soap as an outlet for her daughter Misery's cruelty-a giant, sentient stress ball, if you will. When that failed to stop Misery from forcing Ballos to create the Demon Crown, Jenka just gave up on her.

* It was mentioned by Jack (in an optional piece of backstory, see "The Great Hero Arthur Part 1" [[http://www.gamefaqs.com/wii/954432-cave-story/faqs/59420 here]]) that Arthur didn't fully defeat the Red Demon, but just drove it back. Additionally, Arthur was (allegedly) killed by the Doctor's goons (whoever exactly did it) and not by the Demon. And to me, the Red Demon looks (and behaves) extremely similar to a frenzied Droll (those plantation trolls)...

[[WMG: The Red Demon in the Last Cave IS Arthur]]
The Facts : There are red flowers in the bottom right corner of Arthur's house. He defeats this monster which has been massacring loads of Mimigas for a while, and everyone's happy, but he dies. And for some reason the Red Demon is still around.
The Theory : When you fight Frenzied [[spoiler: Toroko]], [[spoiler: she]] turns back and dies after you win. Now, if the original Red Demon was a Mimiga once too, then when Arthur defeats it (under the influence of the red flowers), then it would turn back into a Mimiga. A probably very cut up Mimiga. Arthur (now the Red Demon) would've run away. Seeing that the monster had gone, the people would've gone to the body. If it was scarred beyond recognition, then they would probably think it was Arthur. And so they buried it, while a Frenzied Arthur somehow got to Last Cave (don't ask me how).
Either this or Red Demon is a species.

* Well, it's possible that Curly is a prototype(as in not all the kinks worked out) and Quote is a production model. This also explains how she got to Sacred Grounds;maybe whatever superpower was running the RidiculouslyHumanRobots program was experimenting with VillanTeleportation. Since they were working on ''Villan'' Teleportation, the device ends up taking a massive toll on whoever uses it;hence why Curly is so beat up when you find her.

** Sounds extremely plausible. The Booster jetpack apparently is his life's work (Heck, it's even named after him! Also, he worked on it for a long time.), and when Quote, as he thinks, needs it much more urgently than him, he gives it away, therefore can't finish it and thinking that there's nothing anymore for him to do for his cause, doesn't attempt to leave the pit.



''Think'' about it. He's the only non-Frenzied Mimiga that has glowing Red eyes (Orange, actually, hence ''partially'' changed), he has a very nasty expression on his face at all times (more like a rabbid dog than a rabbit), at times he is very irrational/over-emotional, making rash decisions out of anger (locking up Sue, threatening Toroko). It's almost as if he's got some kind of roid-rage that he's trying to keep under wraps. Red Flowers have been shown to exist in his village, stored at Arthur's house. Isn't it possible, perhaps even likely, that King is afflicted, but supressing it somehow? Perhaps that's what his Blade did while he was alive? Kept the affects of the Red Flowers at bay? Perhaps that's why it contained his ghost when he gave it to Quote? Because the Blade had properties that were keeping his spirit intact or something along those lines?

[[WMG: Curly Brace owns the original Nemesis.]]
That Nemesis gun Quote gets from Mr. Little? Just a poorly made knock-off. It even has the levels in reverse. No, the Nemesis that Curly is using in the BonusLevelOfHell is the original, and she's owned it ever since she's been created. She didn't use it before because it was levelled down to the rubber duck-shooting stage and she didn't remember its true potential. Basically, she used it as a bathtime toy. When Quote restored her memories, she levelled it up and since she can't get hit in the Sacred Grounds, her Nemesis can't level down. And that "Goddess" description? Made up by Mr. Little to sucker Quote into the exchange.

My reasoning behind this is that the guy who made the game specifically made many details of the game vague, so that the player can fill them in for themselves. The entire POINT of WMG is to fill in the vague details of a story or work. Put two and two together and you have a quite obvious truth. The only ones that are NOT true are the WMG's that contradict each other, in which case the more credible one wins out.

[[WMG: The weapons run on [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Spiral Energy]]]]
For those of you who don't know what Spiral Energy is, put simply it's the power of evolution. Positive emotions like joy, hope and admiration increase its power, while negative emotions like sadness, despair and fear decrease it. However, only Spiral beings (AKA lifeforms that have evolved from Spiral Engergy) can generate it, which kind of kills this theory since the main character in CaveStory [[RoboticReveal is a robot]]. Fortunately, even though robots are unable to generate Spiral Energy, that doesn't stop them from ''using'' contraptions made from it. Those little yellow triangles that the enemies drop are actually their crystallized Spiral Energy released upon death, which gets absorbed into the gun and, eventually, allows the gun to evolve into a more powerful form. Likewise, whenever you get hit, this causes the Spiral Energy to weaken and eventually forces the gun to de-volve. SCIENCE!
* Then explain how the Sword evolves.
** It's ''also'' established in GurrenLagann that Spiral Energy makes ''[[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum no goddamn sense]]''. Hell, the term Spiral Energy is actually a substitute for the term AWizardDidIt!
*** I guess that makes the black wind in the Real Last Cave and the [[BonusLevelOfHell Sacred Grounds]] the Anti-spirals influence?

Quote is a robot, and as such probably doesn't get much from an arbritrary human Health pack. Either the Health packs are batteries scattered during the robot war or else a form of "Upgrade" of some sort placed for the same reason. This could explain in a logical way why the hard mode Quote with human skin and hair [[OneHitpointWonder doesn't get to use them.]] Hard to pick up much benefit from a battery as a human, isn't it?

[[WMG: Misery wanted out, and was deliberately sabotaging the Doctor's plans.]]
Prior to the boss fight with Misery, she declares that she has no particular love for the island, and that she's only fighting Quote because she was ordered to do so. It's entirely possible that this is an attitude she had held for a long time. She had served three Crown Bearers before the Doctor--plenty of time to get sick of servitude. So by the time she was in the Doctor's thrall, she was beginning to think that insanity or death would be preferable: this is why, in the Sand Zone storehouse, she offered to test one of the Red Flowers on herself.

Shortly afterwards, Misery found a reason to hope again: a girl robot in the Sand Zone who put up a darn good fight when Misery came to take away the mimiga children, and a boy robot who survived a fight with a red-flower-frenzied mimiga--two robots who now had a beef with the Doctor and who appeared to be actually strong enough to kill him. Due to her orders, Misery couldn't simply let them go, so she threw them in the island's trash heap rather than killing them, hoping the robots would stay put until she could find some way to use them against the Doctor. Quote and Curly attacking the Core was a possibility she never even considered; this attracted the Doctor's attention, and Misery was again forced to deal with them. Again, she half-assed it; instead of directly killing the two robots, she just flooded the chamber--an act that caused the Core chamber, and the exit from the Labyrinth, to reopen.

It's hard to say whether, during the boss battle, Misery deliberately threw the fight against Quote. Depending on the Doctor's orders, it's possible she was compelled to really try to kill him.

[[WMG: The Doctor is a Time Lord.]]
First off, he obviously knew there would be the Demon Crown up there, even though no one had been up there in living memory. So he either used time travel to find out about it or simply has been alive since its previous incarnation. Secondly, there's Black Space, which doesn't really look like the rest of the island. This Troper believes that that part is not on the island at all, but in an extradimensional space. Third is the Doctor's regenerations (2 so far), with the first being Muscle Doctor and the second being the red mist that possesses the Core.
* Why not go one step forward? An infinite number of random personality changes at the hands of a regenerator will eventually make anybody evil by pure statistical probability... (Yes I know he does have a name hidden on a statue in the hell level.)
* And then there's the secret boss in Pixel's later shooting game, Guxt. While it's not said to be him, it does look very similar, the theme is a remix of "Zombie", and instead of the normal eyes the rest of enemies have, they look like the one in the crown. The attacks also are solid red like the ones of the doctor, contrasting with the monochromatic blue.

[[WMG: The Doctor is [[GurrenLagann Lord Genome]]'s EvilTwin.]]
They're both {{Mad Scientist}}s bent on world domination (although Lord Genome succeeded while the Doctor failed), they both have dark skin, the Doctor has a bulky Muscle Doctor form while Lord Genome is naturally buff, and the Doctor's energy attacks are red, while Lord Genome is the only character in the series to use red Spiral Energy instead of green. Not to mention both of them are connected to "The Surface". The reason that they're twins instead of the same guy is that the Doctor has hair and is clean-shaven while Genome is bald and bearded, they both die at the end of their respective media, and the Doctor is a CompleteMonster while Genome is a WellIntentionedExtremist.

* ** One must really wonder whether it’s a reference to ''{{Misery}}'' in some way....
**Perhaps her name was originally something pleasant like "Mystery", but with the creation of the Demon Crown and her soul being enslaved, "Misery" became more applicable? Perhaps to show how she had changed and/or the Crown had changed her? i.e., before the Demon Crown, she had a reputation as something of a do-gooder? So calling her "Misery" is a way of showing just how far she's fallen?

[[WMG:How can a [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot robot]] and a Mimiga [[OptionalSexualEncounter have at each other?]]]]
Simple. They don't. Because they ''can't''.

Think about it. Quote (and Curly, for that matter) were built for the purpose of raiding the Island and destroying the Demon Crown. Why the hell would anyone make a battle robot even capable of having sex [[InventionalWisdom when it has nothing whatsoever to do with its intended purpose?]]

Given Quote is completely unable, that leaves the question of why you're left with Chaco's lipstick after the fact. Well, while not capble of sex per se, Quote ''is'' capable of making out. It's possible said OptionalSexualEncounter consisted solely of lotsa kissing, and when you have your arms wrapped around each other, it'd be easy enough to slip something as small as a lipstick tube in the other person's pocket.

Incidentally, at this point Quote (and the player) doesn't know he's a robot. Given he hasn't encountered any actual humans at this point, it might be he thinks at Grasstown he's some sort of Mimiga, if only because he can't think of anything else he might be. Which would explain ''why'' he would start making out with her in the first place.
