[[WMG: After returning to life, Joe can enter The Zone at will.]]
Joe still enters The Zone sometimes when he plays jazz, or through meditation, and occasionally runs into 22 when she pursues something she is passionate about. He also sometimes assists Moonwind and his crew in rescuing lost souls.

[[WMG: There are unseen members of Jerries and Terry’s kind who have other jobs. All of their names end in erry]]

This includes the Kerries who guard the borders between the worlds (they don’t seem to mind Joe being in the Great Before, but draw the line at him going back to earth), the Berries who handle the souls of animals and plants, the Gerries who actually dwell on earth and report the lives of souls to the Jerries, the Merries who help the Lost Souls (they need all the help they get and happily hire souls like Moonwind to assist them, giving them boats to help them travel), and the leader of all the erries: Larry, the ruler of the Great Beyond who is known to humans as {{God}}.

** Well, not all of them. Quite a few like Mother Teresa and Gandhi probably accepted that they were dead quickly. The Jerries likely hand pick specific people to be Mentors.

[[WMG: All Mentors are people who jumped from the conveyor belt]]

All of the mentors seem to be famous people who would have been just as upset as Joe to find out they've died. So every one of them would have jumped from the conveyor belt and ended up in The Great Before. The Great Before put in place the Mentor system to help those souls exist long enough to willingly accept moving on to The Great Beyond. Joe just took an unexpected route to achieve the same outcome.

[[spoiler: Confirmed. Joe's driving motivation is to be a jazz musician, and music is how he gains access to The Zone in the climax.]]


Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: Jerries and Terry actually don't have "official" jobs.]]
They don't seem to have a command structure, for one. And every time a Jerry tells someone to do something, it's framed as a suggestion (i.e. "Why don't you three go into the 'aloof' pavillion?") and they don't continually assert said suggestions if contradicted. The implication is that they guide new souls out of [[AllLovingHero sheer benevolence]], rather than because it's their job.

With the exception of Terry, that is. But even she doesn't claim that her whole BalancingDeathsBooks schtick is actually her ''job''; she just says it's what she does, making it sound more like a hobby. Notably, Jerries respond to her claim that the soul count is off with essentially a shrug, implying that her otherwise-regulatory role is ultimately unnecessary.

[[WMG: The Jerries and Terry are [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angels]].]]
The Jerries could be a form of Principality, unborn humans being the group of people they watch over and guide. This makes one wonder; what would a [[FallenAngel fallen Jerry be like?]]

[[WMG: If a sequel happens.]]
The focus will be more geared towards whoever 22 became and is probably a child or young adult crossing paths with a more aged Joe and whatever he decided to make of his life. The two realizing who each other are and however a plot transpires from that general concept.

[[WMG: There is technically a different Great Beyond for animals.]]
Our only confirmed animal soul was the cameo of Mr. Mittens' out-of-body experience. Unless someone can look through the crowd to find a dog or similar heading to the afterlife it seemed as if everyone was a human.

Not only that, 22 seemed to be dropping down towards the Eastern Hemisphere, meaning there's a possibility she'll wind up starting her life somewhere far from the Americas.]]

At least in the United States. Some countries may be able to have proper screenings though.

[[WMG: Joe will end up not performing at the club in the end]]
He'll be okay with it though, after his experiences teach him there's more to his life than that lone goal.

* This one can easily be [[Jossed]]. Joe’s mere name goes against that: Mr. Andersen’s first name is Bill. This doesn’t even take into account the fact that Joe is BLACK, while Bill is white. So, if Riley were Joe’s child, she’d most definitely be a darker color.

A few theories going around is that 22 is actually Riley before she was born and Joe will succeed in getting her to experience life, with ''Inside Out'' kicking off not long after ''Soul'' ends.

[[WMG:There will be NoAntagonist.]]
It doesn't seem like an antagonist is too necessary, based on what we know about the story so far. Pixar has done numerous other films with no central antagonist, so they'll likely do it again with this film.

Recent Promotional Material has shown what appears to be a Cat in the Film. During the Second Trailer, Joe sees his Body in a Hospital Bed and leaps in to return to his body, Twenty-Two falling after him. If you look close too, you can see the Cat on Joe's Bed. What if that means it shall be a case where, upon returning to Earth, Joe winds up in the Body of his Cat, and Twenty-Two winds up in Joe's Body?
