How I THINK the tbhk characters would feel about imaginary numbers

Hanako- “isn’t this math why are there letters” ass kid

Nene- ????? So confused, they give her a head ache

Kou- thinks that the one 3D graph he was shown was cool looking, does not get it

Aoi- Gets them, does not like them, I think they light a rage in her soul more than they should

Mitsuba- why would I have an opinion on a math concept???? What??

Akane- Enjoys math and imagery numbers more than one probably should (got sad when the teacher said to ignore them because we don’t go into 3D in highschool(and honestly disappointed in himself that he thinks there so cool and fun))

Teru- can use them, understands them, thinks they’re difficulty is overhyped. Does not think about them after they are one the test

Tsukasa- “WHAt????!?!?? Can I eat it!!?!!?”

Natsuhiko- “How are numbers even imaginary… what does that even mean??”

Sakura- could learn them and use them, but does not care to bother herself with that

Why does school teach you so much useless shit? When am I ever gonna use the Pythagorean theorem? I wanna learn how to cut down a tree or something

[theoi-crow]

I'm gonna hold your hand when I tell you this but you know Pythagoras?

The guy known for this math formula?

Well people in the ancient world thought he was either the son of Apollo or Apollo himself. He had a massive cult following and a golden thigh!

He's also named after Apollo under his Python epithet because just like how the oracle of Delphi is known as the Pythia, Pythagoras himself also had python in his name in reference to Apollo slaying the Python.

SEASON 7 OF PUPPET HISTORY IS OUT!!

If you haven’t watched it yet, you should go watch it. It’s a super funny and interesting episode, plus we get huge lore drops that I’m going to dive into below!

This next part is just going to be my analysis rant for the episode because there’s so much I noticed that I want to share my thoughts on.

‼️Warning for spoilers‼️

TW for mentions of drugs, memory loss, god and death/murder.

I just want to start by saying that this episode was literally a cinematic masterpiece. Even with the silly bits of dialogue, the actual lore writing was so good and so was the acting. Plus the actual cinematography? The pan from the Phorgedytol billboard? The lighting and sets? Masterfully done. You can tell so much love and skill go into the making of this show and it’s so amazing to see!

Onto the actual analysis…

I’m in love with how much the lore is being built up and all the new concepts we were introduced to in this episode. Even from the beginning, we can see that something is off with the professor and when we get to the end things start to begin making sense. Starting even at 1:28, we see him losing his memories. I’m going to list some of the example timestamps here, they might not all be true, it might just be me looking into things for some of these but still. Him forgetting the details of the C-Dogs joke at 7:30, him going into how fuzzy the details are at 36:50, and his slip up on what season it is at 43:30. I assume the memory loss is caused by the Phorgedytol (I mean it is quite literally pronounced like forget it all). I tried to find out if the chemical structure we saw on the front of the bottle meant anything, but I wasn’t able to find a match or anything super similar unfortunately (though in fair warning, chemistry has never been my strong suit).

We see a Phorgedytol billboard during the flashback sequence which has a few pieces of possible symbolism I wanted to point out. For one, the image of the horse which could be in reference to horse tranquilizers which usually depict horses in the branding. The two people covering each other's eyes could be seen as symbolism for not facing something, a reason people might choose to take the pills, or as ignorance, people being blind to the truth behind Phorgedytol. This is definitely me hyper analyzing little details, but the actual pill bottle itself has a purple lid which is a trait commonly featured with melatonin bottles. This could possibly refer to the idea that the drug could have sedative-like qualities or a reference to the fact that sedatives have a risk of causing memory loss. Or it was just an aesthetic choice which is the most likely reason but still.

The introduction of Phorgedytol as the Coveted Capsules is also really interesting. The Professor says they’re a corporate sponsor but why would a pharmaceutical company sponsor a history show? Why are they trying to, as the professor says, “flood the public” (36:20). The ending with both Ryan and the Professor taking the pills is also super interesting to me. It would be so cool if them taking the pills makes them forget that they ever took the pills causing a cycle to form of them taking it “for the first time”.

I want to commemorate Shane’s acting, and character design, in his “clandestine meeting” with the professor. He’s so incredibly talented and in this scene specifically it’s crazy to think that the two characters, The fedora-clad mobster looking ex-producer and the fuzzy blue professor, are actually the same person in real life with how unique the two are. Along with that the lighting in this scene was really cool, with the professor being lit from above, which gave the scene an almost interrogation-like feel, and Shane being lit from behind shrouding his character in shadow.

I think it’s really interesting that Shane repetitively calls the professor Connie, which is the same thing he called the hologram version of the professor in season 5 during The Bloody Life of England’s Fastest Surgeon, despite the fact that he’s, supposedly, talking to the real professor. The professor also never corrects him or comments on the name which maybe just means that Concupiscence is his real name, as he is aware that Shane did meet the evil hologram version of himself (40:45). However, at 41:48 we see in the background a banner saying “six nasty seasons”. Maybe “nasty” is a reference to Concupiscence McNasty, the evil hologram, rather than just an adjective. Maybe this means that the evil hologram will be coming back this season? Or possibly already is back???

When flashing back to the present, we see a skull overlay Elmer Walter Williams and the professor for a split second at 42:11, with the skull lining up directly with the professor's eyes. Regardless of which of the two it was meant for, I think it’s an interesting little detail to point out. As he’s returning to reality, the scene flips back and forth from the professor to Elmer distortedly laughing. That on its own might not mean anything but it paired with how he gave the professor and Ryan Phorgedytol, saying it has “no side effects, just operating on a higher plane” (42:33), how he is the one taking care of brand relations (38:40), and how he was “suspiciously eager for work” (38:35-38:56) makes me suspicious of him. Also his specific wording “operating on a higher plane” and “God willing” makes me wonder if maybe God will be coming back? Plus, there was an image of a prism on the retirement door which some say symbolizes a connection to the divine. Then again, prisms also are known to represent a transformation or life, so who’s to say? Below the prism we see the letters ES, which I think could possibly stand for the name of whatever company is running the “retirement” program.

Speaking of, we are introduced to a new character this episode, Dr. Sprat who introduced himself in the flashback scene as someone from the Department of Puppet Safety. At the very end of the episode, we see him taking the triangle through an office-like building, saying he’s here to assist with the other’s retirement (43:50). We quickly find that retirement doesn’t mean there’s an old puppet nursing home, but rather something much more sinister. The triangle saying that “time, space, and the entire universe come unraveled by my volatile existence” (43:59 references back to The Puppet History Holiday Spectacular where God told the puppets that “the professor was inadvertently creating you abominations” and that they had to be killed but their souls had to go somewhere, which happens to be the Wondrium Arena, or purgatory. I really want to see more of a deep dive into E.S. or whatever the “retirement” company is as it’s clearly quite processed with a whole facility and a Retirement Machine that kills puppets with lasers and sends them to purgatory (44:08-44:35). Also the reintroduction of purgatory supports my idea that we’re going to get another God episode or possibly another episode with the devil.

If you made it all the way here thank you for reading!! I’d love to hear your thoughts on the episode and I hope you have an amazing day/night!! ⭐️

Also I’m thinking of adding seasons 3-7 onto the Puppet History Fandom Wiki as it currently only has the first two seasons. Puppet History is digging its furry little paws into me, I can’t escape the jellybeans.
