History WMG / TOME

** has an AmbiguousDisorder.

** or independently programmed and sent by his designers to "playtest" TOME. Either way, he inadvertently learns ThePowerOfFriendship after he joins the FiveManBand, leading to [[PinocchioSyndrome the usual AI amongst humans plots]].

[[WMG: WMGs related to the TOME RPG]]

* Jossed. Niosi has confirmed that there will be no Season 3. This does not, however, mean that there will be no TOME content in the future, but considering that the TOME RPG takes place in a completely Alternate Continuity, it is likey that any new content won't explore the continuity from this show.

** Confirmed. [[spoiler: Zetto turning out to be Kirbopher]] is a ShockingSwerve which has no antecedent in the original TTA.

* This theory makes more sense if Zetto is the main account. He could be the InspectorJavert using Kirbopher as [[TheMole a mole]] [[ReverseMole character]] to investigate the "forbidden power". Note that Zetto doesn't even have to be TheMole or InspectorJavert intentionally. For all we know he could be a famous player [[spoiler: or a Netking]], who draws a crowd, and originally created the Kirbopher character so people wouldn't bug him with questions while he's playing. Meaning all of Kirb's character development up to "Awaken The Beast" and after that would still be real.

** Also the fact that it seems impervious to any damage, and that it can unleash [[ChargedAttack ChargedAttacks]] the same way Asterob's shield does, seems to suggest that it could even absorb Zetto's [[KiAttacks Ki]] [[KameHameHadoken Attacks]], and [[TennisBoss send them]] [[CatchAndReturn back at him]]. Gamecrazed himself said breaking it was "impossible".

* As of the GrandFinale, only four characters have had their real names revealed to the audience (five if you count SOFDTI), which is significantly fewer than in TTA (where almost everybody's real name got revealed eventually). Alpha is named Michael, Flamegirl is named Stephanie, Webmaster is John, and Rockoon's name is Rodney Rockwell (unique in that he's the ''only'' character whose ''surname'' is revealed in the whole show, a distinction not even held by the main characters). This, of course, presents some interesting possibilities for the other members of the cast. The first episode and the real-world context behind other names strongly imply that Kirbopher/Zetto's real name is Christopher[[note]]Michael, Stephanie, and John are all named after the real-world people they were based on, with only Rodney Rockwell being the OddNameOut as a unique creation of Niosi and Deven Mack Jr, Rockoon's VA.[[/note]]; aside from the fact that he is a self-insert of Chris Niosi in many ways, he also mentions that his username "Kirbopher" is "like Christopher, except Kirbier" in the first episode, possibly indicating that he got the inspiration for his username in much the same way as Niosi himself. It is also likely that Nylocke's real name is Colin, considering that the original Nailock was named such because "Niloc" is Colin backwards (Colin being another one of Niosi's friends at the time). However, because Martin Billany's portrayal has become such an iconic part of the character, it is equally possible that Nylocke's real name is Martin, which seems to be a widely accepted bit of {{Fanon}} among some circles of the fan community. Kindarspirit was named after an admin from Kirby's Rainbow Resort (Sarah Jacquie), suggesting that her real name is Sarah, but it has also been suggested by some fans that her real name is Samantha, which would seem to befit her characterization in some ways. Finally, Kizuna is the TOME version of Ruri from TTA, who was directly based off of Niosi's girlfriend at the time (Santana Questa), which would seem to suggest that her name is Santana. However, given her alias "Tigerlilly" in TOME, it is entirely possible that her name is "Lilly" or a variation thereof. There is very little evidence to support any names one way or another for any other members of the cast, and since Niosi appears reluctant to give any further insight into the matter, it would appear that any other information will remain a RiddleForTheAges.

** There are numerous examples in played-straight Tournament Arcs where the protagonist team does not win, DragonBall, Manga/YuYuHakusho and Pokemon among them. And again, having no underlying plot to the tournament is playing it straight, not subverting or deconstructing it.

[[WMG:Once Season 1 has finished uploading onto YouTube...]]

[[WMG: SOFTDI/GC manipulated the lottery for the Netking challenge]]

* The lyrics do hint towards events that occured in Season 2, but are less of a prophetic code so much as they are mere foreshadowing.

[[WMG: Nylocke is a Type 1, and possibly Type 2, StepfordSmiler.]]
* When he went OOC in episode 6, he said he was "just an ordinary chap" outside of TOME. Plus, it's a tad odd that such a seemingly energetic character would have an ice sword and element, instead of something else like fire. Perhaps the element is foreshadowing it?
** It seems as though Nylocke, while certaintly not without his troubles, is genuinely happy while playing TOME with his friends (in episode 15, he even tells the Netkings in his true voice that TOME is one of the best things he'd ever had the honor of being part of).

[[WMG: SOFTDI's backstory leaves open the possibility for a season 3 or a movie]]
* While it may be unlikely to happen from a production standpoint. We know The Forbidden Power was created when SOFTDI was influenced by negative thoughts and emotions. That's why she's made to sleep in episode 00. But what If she woke up and was suddenly aware while she was interpreting all the player's negative thoughts? That could overwhelm her, and cause an even bigger problem. Perhaps virus counterparts of the players instead of herself?
** Episode 15 shows us that SOFDTI is perfectly aware of what she is capable of and is sympathetic to whatever her creators decide is best. As Gamecrazed, SOFDTI is shown to have learned much about human nature, and is a very aware, intelligent and capable individual. As such, SOFDTI was technically "awake" the whole time, operating Gamecrazed so that she could help defeat the hackers and help keep her home safe. That's not to say that SOFDTI's capablities couldn't necessarily open up potential future story arcs, however.

[[WMG: Nylocke figured out Zetto’s identity in the Gemini Tournament finals via the outburst.]]

* [[spoiler: The main characters team up with Zetto and Kizuna in the final episode, but it's not to stop the virus, it's to stop ''Rubirules'', who is the BiggerBad in the whole TOME story. Alpha is actually able to make an {{Inverted}} DealWithTheDevil to join forces with the Virus aas well.]]

:Gamecrasher will appear in Season 2]]

* Namely the reboot's version of Blitz128, based on the similar voice and style of humor
** Can't be Blitz128 because he's voiced by Todd Haberkorn here, but it could easily be somebody else.

* Gamecrazed is really [[spoiler: SOFDTI]], but other than Micheal and Stephanie's names no other real life names are ever given.

* [[spoiler: one of the Netkings DID turn out to be evil, but it wasn't Webmaster OR Execk - it was RUBIRULES, who wanted to control SOFDTI to kickstart a technological revolution so he could become a pioneer in the field of computer science. He fed the mods misinformation to keep them off his scent, and was using Zetto and Kizuna to accomplish greater things than just destroying the Forbidden Power.]]

*** What about Sniperwheel and someone voiced by PeanutButterGamer? He works with WebVideo/JonTron a lot, and doesn't have Ego's criticism of the show (as far as I'm aware.) Although, they wouldn't be able to make WebVideo/GameGrumps references, which would be the main reason for having Egoraptor there in the first place.

* Aside from being Alpha's love interest in the show Niosi hasn't been able go much of anywhere with her character arc so far. This has been noted in episode 5 when Kirb and Flamey argue with each other. And Niosi clearly wants to make her more of a BadAss this time around. Giving her unique powers is one way he could do that. So in an effort to figure out what's going on with Alpha she'll stumble upon a virus power that puts her into a similar situation to the one Alpha's in. [[spoiler: Also the D-bug in TTA has purple FLAMES. c'mon! It totally makes more sense for her to have it!]]

[[WMG: The world of ''MegaManBattleNetwork'' takes place in an alternate universe where Rubirules got his way.]]
* After being defeated in the Season 2 Finale, Rubirules's description of what he was trying to accomplish sounds an awful lot like the world of 20XX in the Mega Man Battle Network and Mega Man NT Warrior franchises, which WordOfGod acknowledges in the final Fact Bubble Special. Who's to say Rubirules's work with SOFDTI didn't influence Dr. Hikari on some level, and help create [[=NetNavis=]] as we see them in the MMBN series?

* While it may be unlikely to happen from a production standpoint. We know The Forbidden Power was created when SOFTDI was influenced by negative thoughts and emotionss. That's why she's made to sleep in episode 00. But what If she woke up and was suddenly aware while she was interpreting all the player's negative thoughts? That could overwhelm her, and cause an even bigger problem. Perhaps virus counterparts of the players instead of herself?

[[WMG: Zetto's character model is specially adapted for [[spoiler: Christopher's paralyzed arm.]] ]]
* In episode zero, Zetto's player reacted as if his own arm was cut off by the forbidden power and even his character needed a prosthetic. This could mean that, since YourMindMakesItReal in TOME, [[spoiler: Christopher]] would lose control of his left arm in real life as well. As a token of good faith, the other netkings would have given Zetto a special interface to continue playing despite his disability. [[spoiler: This would also partially explain the significant skill gap between Kirbopher and Zetto, despite being played by the same person. Kirbopher was Christopher's anonymous character that likely wouldn't have a special interface, meaning that he was literally fighting Alpha one handed.]]
** Jossed. Word of God states that the pain, while he feels it, is just an illusion, and that he didn't lose control of the arm.

[[spoiler:When he went OOC in episode 5, he said he was "just an ordinary chap" outside of TOME.]] Plus, it's a tad odd that such a seemingly energetic character would have an ice sword and element, instead of something else like fire. Perhaps the element is foreshadowing it?

[[WMG: [[spoiler: SOFDTI can possess people just like The Forbidden Power can.]]]]
* This isn't a prediction about future events so much as curiosity over whether or not she can do it too. She might prefer not to do it unless she had to, such as [[spoiler: possessing Flamegirl, who carries part of SOFDTI's antivirus power, in order to confront the virus]]. But even then, she might be a bit hesitant or guilty about doing so, especially without proper permission.
