Jeremy FusterPANELIST
Oh my God, it's Chica.
Jeremy FusterPANELIST
Oh my God, it's William Afton.
Jeremy FusterPANELIST
So they lean full tilt into all the lore, all the stuff that's going to lock out all the non-Five Nights at Freddy's fans, but that's okay because A, it's a $20 million Blumhouse production, and B, there's enough of a global fan base to carry not only a movie, but a sequel.
Jeremy FusterPANELIST
So you can do almost $300 million worldwide off of that fan base alone.
Rye ToastHOST
That is a good point to consider.
Rye ToastHOST
The only ghosts we know for a fact are involved in Ultimate Custom Night are William Afton and the Vengeful Spirit.
Rye ToastHOST
No matter what, at the end of the day, those are the two spirits that are definitely there.
Rye ToastHOST
William Afton is being trapped and tortured, and then the Vengeful Spirit is doing the trapping and torturing.
Rye ToastHOST
So, you're right.
Rye ToastHOST
The question should be, how do we know if anybody else is even involved? I think a lot of us jump to...
Rye ToastHOST
Ultimate Custom Night.
Rye ToastHOST
So, yeah, Withered Chica speaks in her character's voice when she says that.
ZioHOST
So you could be a victim and a villain.
ZioHOST
Oh, William Afton on site on site.
ZioHOST
I would make sure that burns.
HousekeeperHOST
Yeah,
ZioHOST
that, yeah, yeah, yeah.
ZioHOST
But, yeah, William Afton.
ZioHOST
If I see him, if I see that motherfucking bunny suit, I'm going to watch it burn until it's nothing but fucking ash.
ZioHOST
I'm not going to set him on fire in a building and walk away.
Rye ToastHOST
One of the nightmares, I think.
Rye ToastHOST
William has the line, I am remade, but not by you, by the one you should not have killed, which kind of confirms the idea that the vengeful spirit is the one you should not have killed, aka the one doing Ultimate Custom Night is the one person who has the most animosity for William that they're able to create all of this.
Rye ToastHOST
And brass taxes were like just putting dollars to donuts.
Rye ToastHOST
I really think that Cassidy or the fifth MCI victim, whoever you want their name to be, is the most likely option there for a whole litany of reasons.
Rye ToastHOST
She has...
Rye ToastHOST
Granted, she has a lot to...
Rye ToastHOST
Like, a lot to hate William Afton for.
Rye ToastHOST
If, as a spirit, she saw what happened after the fact, that, you know, not only did his...
Rye ToastHOST
You know, shout out TJeds.
Rye ToastHOST
Um, the idea that William Afton had the, like, William Afton had the Crying Child specifically as, like, part of a deal to learn more about the Mimic.
Rye ToastHOST
That's really interesting.
Rye ToastHOST
[laughs] It's, it's something that I don't know if the story would ever fully explain or go into, 'cause, like, it's so in the weeds of it, and it's, like, a little, not uncomfortable to talk about, but it is kind of like you're, you're creating life for the sole purpose of a deal, which is very William Afton, but it is insane at the same time.
Rye ToastHOST
Um, I don't know.
Rye ToastHOST
I do like the idea.
Rye ToastHOST
Uh, so I don't know if I fully buy, you know, William Afton had Dave specifically as a deal with, uh, uh, F 10/N 4, but I do kind of like the idea of F 10/N 4 talking through the Fredbear plushie.
Rye ToastHOST
You know, like, letting her in as part of their life, um, maybe, maybe as a deal to get something out of her.
Rye ToastHOST
So, in my brain...
Rye ToastHOST
The way that I was trying to explain Ultimate Custom Night without the help of any of the books was that Michael Afton was doing Ultimate Custom Night as revenge for what happened to the Crying Child because of William Afton's actions.
Rye ToastHOST
So, you know, the one you should not have killed was the Crying Child, but Michael was the one seeking vengeance.
Rye ToastHOST
Now, there is a fatal flaw with that argument, and it's the same fatal flaw that's going with your argument.
Rye ToastHOST
So to me, that's pretty near confirmation that the one you should not have killed is the vengeful spirit.
Rye ToastHOST
That being said, even if that's true...
Rye ToastHOST
I do still think there's two people at play here, because like your theory suggesting, I've for a long time thought that the puppet is separately doing something to help souls move on, and is more so just trying to get around William Afton.
Rye ToastHOST
In my interpretation, it's been that FNAF World is happening concurrently with Ultimate Custom Night.
BCAHOST
'Cause remember, FNAF 3 only...
BCAHOST
FNAF 4 only got made because Scott didn't like Springtrap's jump scare in FNAF 3.
RemTGMHOST
Yeah.
SuperMegaMan10HOST
What?
BCAHOST
Yeah, you didn't know that? He thought the jump scare for Springtrap was so bad that he made another game.
SuperMegaMan10HOST
That's a stupid reason to make another one.
BCAHOST
It's not a stupid reason, 'cause then you wouldn't have FNAF.
JoabHOST
So as we all know, we play as a Fazbear Entertainment franchisee, who purchases a franchise package to open up his new Freddy's restaurant, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place, under the guidance of the old co-founder Henry Emily himself.
JoabHOST
Which is because, as we later learn, after learning of all the supernatural horrors through the decades, such as Follow Me, as heard within his insanity speech, getting hold of William's blueprints, as seen with the scooper for example, and likely hearing about the fire at Fazbear's Fright, he then decides to create this entire pizzeria operation that's in actuality a trap in order to lure all the remaining animatronics into one place.
JoabHOST
to burn it all to the ground and finally end William's evil alongside everything and everyone connected to it.
JoabHOST
We also learn that this game indeed takes place after FNAF 3, yet still in 2023 within his insanity speech, where he seemingly just discovered everything and plans this game's events.
JoabHOST
being titled HRY223, which we established and completely solidified in the FNAF 1 video, stands for Henry 2023, this actually being further reinforced within the Survival Logbook, which takes place during the week of FNAF 3, stating at the very end, see you next week, right before stating, until next time.
JoabHOST
And just as a quick side note about specific dates, Henry's insanity speech within this game causes us to look back on the Follow Me minigames from FNAF 3, which we never really specified any dates for besides just some time 2015.
JoabHOST
So while we're theorising about dates right now, I want to suggest that Follow Me begins on Friday the 26th of June 2015.

William recreating the missing children's incident, MCI, a direct 30 years after the MCI occurred, aka on its anniversary.
