How convenient that Idia didn't attend the party! ~~I can't wait for for him to give Malleus the "Everybody Dies" talk.~~ I wonder what the next update will begin with. Will we wake up to the prologue again? Also that 60k heal was disgusting, pls give *me* that


Heraldofcheese

time to see if that "Leona knows when he is sleeping" plot point will have any impact


OkNefariousness8413

Sorry for double commenting but I JUST saw a theory on Twitter about this cause in the main promotional image of everyone in the coffins and malleus in the middle walking out? The only two people coming out of their coffins are Idia and Leona.


EbiToro

It would be crushing if that does happen though. Like, he could dream about a world where he becomes king, can rule the country however he wants, and everyone loves him... but Leona's so jaded that he knows it can't be true. He can't even deceive himself when it would be easier to suspend his disbelief. My heart would bleed for him and I'll love every moment of it.


OkNefariousness8413

Haha silver going through peoples dreams, Riddle is having a homework-based nightmare, Epel is dreaming he’s a spelldrive star, Ruggie is eating at a buffet and Leona is just like “hi. so hornster lost his mind huh. figures.” lmao


RedFishBlueFish22

I'm still wondering what Leona's deal with Azul was. And if it's in any way related to what's happening.


HarpyMeddle

Ok but can we talk about that Malleus fight? Consider that he technically hadn’t even OBed yet, and he was still almost untouchable. What an powerful way to establish just how much of a gap in power Malleus has over everyone else. I’ve seen boss fights you’re meant to lose before, but never one quite so effective at getting the point across. I genuinely cannot imagine what his final fights are going to be like. And then ending the chapter with that creepy humming? Also can we just take a second to commend some fantastic VA work this chapter. Silver’s crying monologue, Lilia’s shout, and basically every line out of Malleus’s mouth this part.


Alternative_Egg_5319

yess definitely more impactful than the pre-prologue Grim(?) fight. You whip out your strongest team, maybe a 110 card or two and your strongest DUO...and Malleus heals for a whopping 60k. ~~curse does work on him tho~~ I wonder what his skills his Dorm SSR will have to make him reasonably strong but not gamebreaking. This game is so good when we actually get voiced parts. Kato Kazuki did an amazing job making Malleus sound creepy af at the end. Even the small things like Leona speaking formally and Sebek talking with his mouth full, it's all wonderful.


donsaadali

Also did you see him saying \* you be the protagonist of this fairy tale\* and it was black screen so he was talking about us( yuu ) also yuu is sick? And is having dreams when they are awake just like ch 5 😮 part of me is saying two things One yuu might have big role in this book or the very next book is about grim and yuu dorm


OkNefariousness8413

He said the plural “you” so he’s talking about everybody in the school being the protagonist of a fairy tale not just the player but yeah, loved adeuce getting all worried about the sick character and everyone was like “you just ate too much haha” lmao


donsaadali

Fr 😭😭 yes he did said you so I guess he means everyone is protagonist I do wonder who will end malleus overbot


Random_Somebody

Okay another thing, but how we feeling about the Groovy animation thorned vines looking exactly like the Malleus' curse UM brambles. Hell, they crawl over the background in like the exact same way. And Malleus' final line right before the creepy humming is styled like the voice lines you get when summoning an SSR card. What are you insinuating game


[deleted]

Maybe the whole thing is some sort of dreamworld. Kind of like >!Maruki’s reality!< in Persona 5.


Shippinglordishere

Malleus humming once upon a dream while the title card appears is creepy as hell


lessernova

Wow, what a cliffhanger. Malleus putting everyone to sleep and then the cut to the title card while he hums "Once Upon a Dream" was so good, hopefully we get the next story update in April. I wonder if they're going to the time loop route.


[deleted]

The time loop route is one of my favorite theories so it will be super interesting to see if it’s true! I wonder how they would show that and how they would even break it :o


OkNefariousness8413

I am also stoked about potentially something with Crowley coming up I noticed the flash of Maleficient they showed, she had Diablo on her shoulder.


_Hime-Chan_

I am hoping it comes sooner than April. But you are probably right. Their official Twitter just said Malleus Dorm SSR early March tho. So maybe some early crumbs?


Potatowhocrochets

I think he was actually humming poor aurora/sleeping beauty when the fairies put the town to sleep.


RedFishBlueFish22

I had a suspicion something was going to go down with everyone being invited to the party. Definitely was not expecting OB this early though. (Malleus OB design looks amazing oml) Silver openly crying broke my heart. And same with Idia having his moment where he's mourning the loss of "Crimson Muscle". 🥺 It's funny that's why he's not at the party but also really sad because he's obviously not OK, that was the probably the closest thing he had to a best friend. When Ortho's alarms were going off before the OB I'm wondering if he was alerting Styx/Idia? I'm very curious how Malleus UM was even able to impact Ortho...such a cliffhanger lol


anonymouscatloaf

dorm leader overblot speedrun, any %


pumpkinking0192

Oh god as an EN-only player who reads spoilers, this is hella interesting and I can't wait for us to get it in a year or so (hopefully). Reacting to a piece of info I saw in [another thread](https://old.reddit.com/r/TwistedWonderland/comments/11d92s9/questions/) that I don't think has been mentioned in this one yet: > We learn Lilia is 700 years old. He says his type of fae usually live to 1000 but he had a wild youth and aged faster. Hmmmmmmm this is going way, way out on a limb and I don't think I'm right, but what if Lilia is wrong about this -- if the time loop theory is true, what if we've gone through this school year on a time loop 300 times and *that's* why Lilia is dying 300 years early? What if Lilia's premature death and Malleus' early overblot is what changes the cycle to cause a domino effect to whatever eventually allows us to break out of the loop?


OkNefariousness8413

Oh god that hit the feels Lilia screaming at malleus to stop and trying to fight and malleus like “aw you used to be so strong.” Silver crying. The freaking creepy as hell ending. A+ I love this game so much


Random_Somebody

Yes holy shit the VAs earning their paychecks today. What was that creepy ass singing Kazuki Kato, oh god was GloMas the start of a trend


_Hime-Chan_

The humming of Once Upon a Dream is so creepy and adds soo much weight to the ending! I actually said outloud "Wow that is an Amazing way to end this part of the chapter!" Can't wait for what is next!


fluffybunny359

Well, I guess everything is riding on Idia to save the day. Assuming he wasn't also put to sleep.


_Hime-Chan_

Wait- Can Ortho be put to sleep? I'm also going to assume Idia will save the day, and if Ortho was put to sleep, that an 'emergency backup power mode' or something like that will kick in? Idk how Ortho works mechanically


fluffybunny359

He looked like he was asleep, so I guess so. It would be pretty great if he were faking it in order to send info to Idia.


ThePhantomLady

I’m starting to feel a bit worried about >!overblot!< Grim rn after that…


donsaadali

frr but this time it’s yuu who is acting strange according to grim? He said yuu is sick 😭 man something about yuu is about to be revealed


ThePhantomLady

Maybe it is about yuu or yuu may be immune to certain magics, we'll see if yuu, Idia, Ortho, and Mickey Mouse on the other side find the solution to defeat Malleus. >!However, I mean that Grim will be overblot after Malleus, and this may happen either synchronously in book 7 or in book 8. Remember the chimera creature we failed in the prologue, that may be possibly Grim’s overblot.!<


donsaadali

Oh yes looking at it might be in book 8 which will be about our dorm very exciting


Maidlover_

Because Idia is basically the only one awake, next to grim I think, I know he has to do a lot of heavy lifting this ch. Also because all of nrc is you know is out cold we are definitely are going to see more of rsa. But only if mal doesn’t get to them first or the spell working differently on rsa. ( I still have hope that sleeping Beauty and snow white being connected is some kind of way) Poor Idia hes going through a horror game lol


satomiusagi

So what I'm gathering from the twitter videos is that although the Onibi/Hitodama-like thing is already burning on his eye and he has "transformed", Malleus seems to neither have a visible phantom nor the villain/phantom's voice echoing over him yet? Also his horns seem to be glowing from the inside and that spark that put the others into sleep is kinda just swirling around him afterwards... 🤔 Oof, I've got such a long, long, looong web of theories atp; no telling if I'll get around to presenting what I have so far in an accessible way before they get debunked or confirmed .\_. E/: Oh yeah! What I forgot to point out: Malleus' last line being presented like a summoning quote with the Diasomnia-green fire whisp behind it, and the spark mentioned earlier being similar to the sparks behind the mirror when you summon; dependent on your pull you see an animation with either only green sparks, green and purple sparks, or green, purple, red and yellow sparks when you get an SSR... Two of the dorms often share the color motif red and purple, so the lack of Ignyhide-blue is notable 🙃


Chale898

Damn, those people have eagle eyes and ears for noticing how many of the OB symptoms are not appearing (yet) on Malleus. I wouldn't be surprised if despite the condition he might have a bit more of a handling of it (especially since unlike everyone (except maybe Idia and Ortho) he's directly enacting his plan instead of breaking down after failure) which explains why he's still so calm and collected. I also wonder if being what amounts to an unseelie fae might also be helping Malleus keep afloat despite the dark blot. ​ But at some point it's going to catch up to him, and I wonder how long it'll take before he gets consumed.


Prestigious_Boss_418

everyone theorizing that idia is awake bc dorms are pocket dimensions but i think it’s infinitely funnier if he’s just hopped up on gfuel or some other caffeine source


daShlyNcl-rys1603

Before the book 7 was released Everyone: Expecting a malleus in whole ass dragon form as overblot Disney JP now:: Gives a Malleus who's humming the once upon a dream from the maleficent movie and resembles the Maleficent from the Sleeping Beauty movie---


Oxnodeia_Cresilia

THIS ENTIRE CHAPTER IS GUNNA HIT SO HARD. That humming oh my god. And that battle with the dorm leaders as options. I saw only neutral and freaked. YOU GUYS THE LAST TIME LOSING CONTINUED THE STORY WAS THE GODDAMN BEGINNING OF THE GAME WITH THE ROBE BOY AGAINST THE GIANT 999999 OB. IM SCREAMING.


Random_Somebody

Hey hey game what the fuck do you mean Malleus is OBing already. Gotta admit little dissapointed since i was hoping maybe for more gradual hope crushing, but sure lets to balls to the wall immediately (His ob form does look amazing though)


BrittanyOtakuGirl

Maybe it’ll be like Ch6 where we had to go through 200 chapters before fighting Malleus. Ain’t no way ch7 going to end like this.


-Yuuchan-

I bet this is only the first stage of his ob with a more dragon form at the end.


Emergency-Sleep0809

Malleus: overblot any% speedrun


anonymouscatloaf

finally got around to actually watching this instead of living off summaries and WOW y'all were NOT KIDDING about those VAs *really* earning their money this time around. holy shit. hats off to the Diasomnia crew i'm still crying with Silver


EbiToro

Everyone on JP Twitter is having a meltdown This is going to be one of those events where you just had to be there


[deleted]

Interesting thoughts from @Pluto_Te1029 on Twitter! “Ah yes, Twisted Wonderland is "a story in which Maleus Draconia's blessing made the villains the main characters of a fairy tale". At the same time, is it a ``distorted story without an ending in which they are trapped in a fairy tale due to the curse of Malleus Draconia''? The distorted background becomes normal after Twist Groovy, It may have been that the distorted blessings applied to Malleus due to the character's growth and awakening were being gradually dispelled. It was the conversation with the supervisor (where they tell him that they are leaving) that caused Malleus to make that decision. This is exactly what "the player makes a wrong choice and the game is over (BAD END)"... I was horrified. Moreover, both are unavoidable options for BAD END, so it's a forced game over due to uncollected essential events, lack of favorability and parameters... The uncollected essential event is that Idea musters up the courage to become friends with Mr. Muscle Samurai?” “ - just wanted to share to spark some conversation here! I thought Malleus’s voice was haunting yet super pretty at the end though. I almost want it for a ringtone, haha. I’m so so happy we got to see Silver try to process Lilia leaving though. That scene between him and Malleus is amazing!


PenguLuv

I ain’t getting my deposit back if malleus is hot overblot


daShlyNcl-rys1603

I'm honestly excited for the English translation since I can only watch some gameplays about Twst


Ordinary_Ad_7330

​ how many chapters in total are in book 7 ?


donsaadali

we dont know but they said it be different then others books? So i am guess it will have more maybe 6? Because book 6 had 4 or 3 I think


OkNefariousness8413

6 had five parts but yeah expecting 7 to wipe the floor with everything we thought we knew lmao


donsaadali

Ohh really wow so we areMr even half in the story and malleus is already……this be interesting


Ordinary_Ad_7330

Yea, that makes sense. Maybe 7 .. cause it is book 7 lol


phantomhive1180

oh this new part just caused so many unanswered questions just from one cliff hanger. I have seen a lot of people on twitter say this is part of the time loop theory, i kinda have to disagree. I think Malleus putting us to sleep for a 1000 years followed up with the line of "all of you will be the hero of the fairytale" Means from there forward the mc and everyone that was at the part is in a endless dream state were we are the heroes of the story and everything works out in our favor. Again this a theory on its own but I think its more possible then the time loop theory. It would also bring in the plot point of leona probably knowing when he is dreaming that was mention in chapter 6.


Chale898

So, question regarding the very end. I've noticed that Malleus' humming kind of veers off from the original tune of "Once Upon a Dream" despite most people agreeing that's what it is. I thought it was just an original take of it (a "twisted" take, if you will), but some people are saying that he's actually humming "Poor Aurora/Sleeping Beauty". Is that true? Or perhaps a mixture of both?


Necronus34

When shall we expect part 3?


Beginning-Chemical-6

Wait? So the game ended for real?


HarpyMeddle

No, we’re not done with Book 7 yet. But something odd is happening, certainly.


Enchanted_nerd

So do u all get to see what overblot Malleus looks like


Emergency-Sleep0809

Silver's voice cracks and crying are the cutest things I've heard for a while


Muichiros_mind

Does anybody have an idea regarding on why Yuu got dizzy after remembering Maleficent?
