Maybe not yet⌠but with new books dropping and the fandom exploding, who knows? Grab your fresh-kill and let’s dive in! đ Scroll for theories, evidence, and why they’ll haunt your dreams. Which one’s your fave? Comment below!
1. Firestar’s Secret Half-Sibling in SkyClan
Theory: Rusty (aka Firestar) has an unknown half-sibling hidden in SkyClan’s modern ranksâexplaining his “star-born” vibes and why SkyClan keeps popping up in prophecies!
Evidence: Firestar’s mom was a kittypet, but what if his dad wandered to the city skies? SkyClan’s urban jump in SkyClan and the Stranger manga screams “family reunion.” Plus, Firestar’s dreams of flying? Total sibling hint!
2025 Prediction: A new arc reveals this kin, sparking a massive Clan alliance. Epic reunion art incoming
2. Jayfeather is the TRUE Dark Forest Leader
Theory: Jayfeather faked his “good guy” persona and is secretly pulling Dark Forest strings from StarClanârevenge for his blindness and bullied past!
Evidence: His mind-reading powers? Perfect for manipulation. Remember Omen of the Stars when he almost joins the Dark Forest? And his grumpy attitude? Classic villain glow-up!
2025 Prediction: Book reveal: Jayfeather’s the puppet master behind a new villain. Mind. Blown. đĽ
3. The “Forgotten Battle” Erased a Whole Clan
Theory: Before ThunderClan, there was a sixth Clan wiped out in a pre-series warâits spirits haunt every prophecy as “the forgotten ones.”
Evidence: Ancient ruins in Code of the Clans and vague StarClan whispers. The “four will become twelve” prophecy? What if it’s six Clans reuniting?
2025 Prediction: Super Edition uncovers bones and a lost leader. History rewrite alert! đ
4. Yellowfang’s Ghost Possessed Bramblestar
Theory: Bramblestar’s “imposter” arc wasn’t overâYellowfang’s vengeful spirit jumped into him post-resurrection for ultimate Tigerstar payback!
Evidence: Bramblestar’s sudden ruthlessness matches Yellowfang’s sass. Her StarClan grudge against Tigerstar? Motive! And those weird coughs? Ghost flu.
2025 Prediction: Exorcism battle in A Light in the Mist sequel. Spooky season forever! đ
5. Mapleshade is StarClan’s SECRET Queen
Theory: Mapleshade didn’t stay in the Dark Forestâshe reformed and now rules StarClan from the shadows, balancing good and evil!
Evidence: Her tragic backstory screams redemption arc. The Place of No Stars hints at her “watching over” kits. Prophecies always have a twist!
2025 Prediction: She mentors a new hero, flipping the afterlife upside down. Queen energy! đ
6. Hollyleaf Survived and Leads the Sisters
Theory: Hollyleaf faked her death in the tunnels and joined the Sisters as their fierce leaderâexplaining their sudden power in The Place of No Stars!
Evidence: Her “rule-breaker” vibe fits the Sisters’ free spirit. Black fur + green eyes = perfect disguise. That tunnel collapse? Too convenient!
2025 Prediction: Emotional reunion with Lionblaze. Sisters unite the Clans? đ¸
7. Scourge is Firestar’s UNCLE
Theory: BloodClanâs Scourge is Rustyâs long-lost uncleâa kittypet gone rogueâmaking their Into the Wild fight a family feud!
Evidence: Matching flame-colored collars and city origins. Scourgeâs âstarâ mark? Inherited destiny! The Ultimate Guide drops subtle hints.
2025 Prediction: Flashback graphic novel confirms it. Blood vs. Blood!
8. StarClan is LYING About the Prophecies
Theory: StarClan ancestors are manipulative liars, fabricating prophecies to control the Clans like puppetsâtrue peace means ditching them!
Evidence: Failed prophecies galore (Fading Echoes, anyone?). Their civil war? Power grab! Jayfeatherâs doubts seal it.
2025 Prediction: Heroic rebellion arc. Clans go rogue! đš
9. Ivypool’s Kits are Dark Forest Spies
Theory: Ivypoolâs litter (in fanon canon) are undercover Dark Forest agents, trained in dreams to infiltrate ThunderClan from within!
Evidence: Ivypoolâs own Dark Forest past + her silver tabby kitsâ âdreamyâ eyes. River of Fire sleepwalking? Spy training!
2025 Prediction: Betrayal twist in a new generation book. Mom vs. Kits drama!
10. The Clans Will MERGE into ONE Mega-Clan
Theory: By 2025âs finale, endless wars force ALL Clans to unite into a single “StarClan”âending the series with utopian harmony (or dystopian chaos?).
Evidence: The Broken Code unity themes + “four become one” echoes. Climate change in lore? Perfect merger excuse!
2025 Prediction: Epic finale book: Warriors: United. Farewell forest?
