Theories about Finn's older brother
Tilt is Finn's brother
- Finn mentions knowing that he had a brother. During the episode when Finn regains more of his memories, after Ban discusses his family, there's a telling shot in which we see Tilt by himself contemplating something. He probably joined the Klondike's because he thinks the royal family are tied to the black knight.
- Supporting this, in the next scene Tilt is in a car waiting for someone who looks like Iris. Next we see Iris, she just killed Bobby Ball and saved Finn.
- When we see a picture of Finn and his family, his brother is completely obscured by flames, which could be Tilt.
- When we see Tilt's eyes in "Prisoners", they're the same color as Finn's.
- Confirmed!
Tilt is a Red Herring. Apple Link is Finn's brother.
Presumably, he lost his memories after the fire, ended up in some other orphanage and/or was adopted by another family. Blissfully ignorant of his past, he studied well and eventually began a successful business enterprise. At some point, however, his repressed memories returned and he recognized Finn as his younger brother.- Would give a whole new context to his angry reaction at seeing Finn and Chris holding hands.
- Confirmed!... Kinda. Turns out Apple Link is just an identity Tilt takes by Burst using the Ace of Hearts in a pair.
Ban's card
- We know that Ban is a Player, but we don't know what his card is. I think it may be the King of Diamonds, based on how it's briefly seen in the opening right before we're shown a shot of Ban's glasses-covered eyes.
- CONFIRMED
The First King was a Puppet King
The sole image of him shown so far depicts him as a faceless child barely holding on to the royal regalia and the crown not fitting his head, which instead makes him look like a mannequin that had been hurriedly decorated with symbols of royalty. More importantly, Season 2 insinuates that rather than being the one who spearheaded the country, he was merely an overseer of the 52 Knights.Ban's father was murdered by the royal family because he sought to share the power of the Cards with the common people
Would explain Ban's ideology and actions. Him helping Chris at the end of season 1 was just Ban practicing that philosophy to the letter.There are TWO Jokers
In most decks, there are two Jokers, or "Wild Cards". The Cards given to the 52 Knights became then regular cards, while the first king was given one of the Jokers. As such, the other Joker is a card Lala kept.The man Finn met in Magic Rose is related to Lala
I mean, come on! The guy LOOKS like Lala! And he seemed oddly knowledgeable about the true history of the cards.The only safe way to play an X-Hand is to make an actual Poker hand
Considering the massive playing card motifs in play in the series, it'd make sense if the only way to actually use one of the super moves safely was to have an actual Poker hand.
