Sawtooth clone: you who?<br>Sawtooth: ok back in the pool

Sawtooth clone: you who?
Sawtooth: ok back in the pool


Just like the Jango Fett clones who formed the Grand Army of the Republic in the Star Wars galaxy.

James Vernon Jennings The Video and Playlist Host


Celestia is like Palpatine with her army of clone troopers Uh I mean royal guards


I don't think Celestia would dare to try that seems like something luna would do if this clone theory were true that would be sad they would only exist for protection but the new royal guards are becoming more diverse peep zeffer breeze I think Tia wanted a certain look some ponies that looked like her now that twilight is taking over with her student six taking her place she wants different ponies to take their place as we saw in the future galas is a royal guard and we saw a royal guard take off their helmet I find it more likely they just found guards that looked similar but just had different hair


If a unicorn who wasn't disguised as a Grey unicorn wanted to join and was disguised as a white unicorn, why wouldn't Celestia disguised them as a Grey unicorn instead? Unless they requested to be disguised as the white disguise which I'm surprised Celestia would aloud


Orrrrr designing every guard different is too much work for the animators


Can you do something more about starswarl and the others please


What about Gallus
He become a Royal Guard at the end
Some people say he become Captain of the Royal Guard


Sometimes their kids have taken there duties. Like, generation to generation


If all of that's true why couldn't the other princesses do the same?


Really great theory, but... and im just spitballing here it would be easier(cheaper) just to copy and paste  the same character over and over then just make a bunch of variations.


wait,,,cant the Queen of changelings,make  a baby changeling and make copys of the changelings and more and more until she has a hool army ?


Oh I have a theory that makes more sense not that yours doesn’t my theory is that the animators got lazy and then they stepped up their game when they started having more creatures in a Equestria Also they were just doing that was normal pony citizens as well as there where the same in shots but when more creatures started coming using less and less of the same design you’ll notice that they started having more diverse in their guard and different genders when you would not see ten of the same Design pony and 10 shots when twilight opened her school and when more creatures started living in Ponyville and canterlot lot etc. that theory makes a lot of senses


its easy celestia only chooses those ponies so they can look good in their color scheme


You know after hearing the Clone Theory I have to ask Will Disney be coming after Hasbro and or find the My Little Pony brand


Or maybe the animators didn’t want to draw that much 🥲


what!this might be a scrazy and scary thing from Celestia and Luna and + they do look like clones


It seems to me that the creators did not want to create a variety of ponies, that they copied them


I wonder do the royal guards have the same cutie mark? If so what do they look like?


Did you know that the oldest mlp pony is bon bon because in the first mlp show she was on of the main pony.


2:33 doesnt every pony have an age spell?? "Luna being baneshed to the moon for 1000 years and EVRY pony looks the EXACT same" LOL


your right I also see that the look the same maybe they used magic


Here is a clue: animators were too lazy to design every guard different so they just copy pasted them (yes this is very common in cartoons)


If your member in the pool episode I’m pretty sure pink you said about some thing about one of your family members telling her the words like she used to be a royal Guard 0-0


Awe, the royal guards mother must be some kind of spider or and queen.


I think Pegasus and unicorn and Alicorn and ponie  duplacauted in mirror pond and celestia in charge mission and then formed royal guard witch was original idea but hard to recruit and only had four  so did a mirror pond mission


so if the mirror pool makes clones why didn't chrysalis clone herself to make a new army of changelings to fight same with cozy glow and terik


Yo. What if Chrysalis dipped some of her own babies in it to increase the number of changelings when she lacked a mate?


I’m getting MAJOR Clone wars vibes from this...


How would a changeling look like in the human world?


What if the first pony DRANK the mirror pool water and made the royal guard by accident? Or maybe they're it's children? lol


Actually, the brown colored royal guard was exist. Who said "Somethings wrong in the north:Crystal Empire!" To Celestia


what if nightmare moon or some other antagonist used it and how would the world look


I'm getting star wars clone wars vibes from the guards anyone else?


you guys are confused<br>in season 6 starlight did the duplication spell

you guys are confused
in season 6 starlight did the duplication spell


When fluttershy's brother became a royal guard he didn't look like the others


I believe your theory cauee shining armor if I'm right was a guard altho he fit the description white unicorn he still had blue hair an blue hoovs not all those white pony would have those spastic detail


They decided not to make so many more ponies

You
Alright now let's spend weeks trying to figure something when I know they are just being lazy

Lol this is a joke but


what happened to the mirror pool in new generation and is it still in use i did find 2 lookalikes in it


I have an idea why there are sooo many changelings one changeling jumped in the mirror pool


Before I saw this video I watched Twilight celebration so princess so I found her clowns


Maybe Celestia and\or star swirl made the pool but when they were done they closed it. Maybe before Pinky pie fell in the hole, it got reopened, there is no proof?


Everyone:This video is fascinating <br>Me:4:20 yay! Dancing Pinkie Pie

Everyone:This video is fascinating
Me:4:20 yay! Dancing Pinkie Pie


I want to use the mirror pool I would make 50 clones of myself


2:37 or they just did some more cloning of the clones


Welcome to the next episode of Trying To Make Sense Of The Lazy Writers / Animators


This video: exists
The animators: yeah that’s totally what it is it’s not like we got lazy or anything…

This video: *exists*
The animators: yeah that’s totally what it is it’s not like we got lazy or anything…


I love all this theorizing-

But we all know that the truth is just animation budgets-


Does anyone think about who taught Starswirl?


Krista seaid no sleeps has nothing to do with it.  Besos shining rammed is one of the castle grads.


A lot of design also turns to the animators


What if celestia had equal sign when starlight was evil


well i think some other ponys in equestria been do the same as the guards so maybe they use a mirrorpoll 🤨🤨🤨


What about channelings? There are so much of them! There are so many that aren’t as smart as Chrysalis! Thinks about it!


I agree with you I think pinky pie was not the only one who used the moral pole and the whole gired used it and siesta was involved in it


I LOVE THIS GUY sawtooth u amazin af you get a new subscriber yep me


Hello there sawtooth waves I love your theory videos a I wanted to tell you about a theory of my own hoping that you will make a video on it I believe that we've seen spike mom and spike is the rightful rule of the dragon land just listen and go back and watch my little pony friendship is magic season 8 episode 15 the hearth's warming club and pay close attention to smolder story and pay close attention to the dragon lord. Her color and design and their personalities are exactly the same she tries to help at lonely dragon it's not her fault that she betrayed hey in the end and spike likes to help twilight coincidence I think not and if you look up DRWolf011 videos what if spike is still the dragon lord? Sceptre work better for spike and not ember. And my final point at the end of the story the dragon is banish and if she had a egg it would most likely find itself in equestria and wouldn't something of that value find it's way to celestia well I'm done 👋


Maybe the royal guards used the mirror pool before the endtrence was seeled


so, the changelings may of used this pool?


There so many gaurds that they cover up every inch of equestria


I think the animals were just tired of making different ponies so they just got lazy and made the same Pony pony guards over and over they just make them the same so basically the writers just got lazy😑


It could also be that the animators just got way too lazy and just decide not we're going to stick a ton of the same ponies in


Ease of animation, computer generation of wide character varieties has only been a thing in recent years and with higher budgeted productions, example: Shrek the third. Something about the "clone soldiers" idea just doesn't sit right with me


The animators didn't bother animating thousands of unique soldiers.


I think that one garud is for celestia and one for luna.


What about the earth pony Royal Guard from season 3? How do explain that, since it wasn't a animation error. Just adding something to the conversation


I think that this might be like in the pokemon where there was a big family of the policewomen and nurses and they look the same


I have a question for sawtooth waves can changeling transform into other changelings not like in different pony forms instead there original changing form

I mean they can turn into animals and inanimate objects so probably


why are there no earth pony's in the royal guard? and what about the guards in the crystal empire?


My opinion : Mirror portal is maked for equestria for make the clone of Royal quard


animation errors: exist
sawtooth: thats an alicorn! trickeryyyyy!!!

animation errors: exist
sawtooth: *thats an alicorn! trickeryyyyy!!!*


Maybe a Video about Redeeming King Sombra?


I was always thinking why do so many royal  guards looked  the same-  welp- but idk


Equestria has clones because Hasbro edited them in.


Can you make a video about Celestia and Luna‘s parents


I'm really starting to think Sawtooth Waves is the Tom Scott of the pony universe

@Dinomitous quite, but I was also reffering to the fact that he films in ridiculous places :))

idk who Tom Scott is but it sounds like ur saying like Sawtooth Waves is smart, and i 100% agree


Stop comparing those stupid, incompetend Guards to the Clone Army!!! My inner Star Wars Fan screams!!!


They are literally like a British moment


Maybe that's the cause why in some early season Rainbow Dash asked one of the Gurds " How do you become a Royal Gurd?" Or it's just their job not yo talk ._.


Or are the creators too lazy to make characters with a different UwU design


Animators: we're too tired/lazy lets just copy them<br>Me:cool

Animators: we're too tired/lazy lets just copy them
Me:cool


I know the answers of all these questions it is just an animation and I am pretty sure the writer didn’t think about all of this after all it is an kids show


But just flash sentry is one pony who looks different than the other guards


You mister calm down with your myths because the writers of the show just decided to do that there's no secrets or bad things about it


I love useing logic to exuse lazy animation


Fun Fact: all of celestia's royal guards are all siblings.


what’s with the random guards with the darker armor? i’m still confused about that

OMG i dont even remember when i comented this lol


Imagine the people who made the show ran out of ideas and just copy n paste the guards and done


I wonder if the mirror pool is trying to troll us


The true answer is probably the animators got lazy I still love the theory tho


Clones cant adge so what if the original 2 died?


I'm not and Mlp fan, but even i know that this as broken AF, (if your a Warframe fan you'd get the next reference) If the Grineer found this pool they wont need to clone via old test tubes

its not broken AF. but ill let it pass BC ur not a fan of the show. but that pool is underground in the Everfree forest. Which is a VERY dangerous place that nopony would dare enter, and its blocked up. Thats y its left alone there,  BC nopony would come across it unless they were in specific circumstances.


Then who’s the original person that got cloned?🤨


How the royal guards could have been an a la corn a they could have earned it but it doesn’t give them as much power and they’re not royalty bIt’s a visual glitch or part of the spell C while they were trying to clown at the first time they looked at each other’s reflections and that made and Alcorn


"They are totally obedient, taking any order without question. We modify their genetic structure to make them less independent than the Original host." ;)

independence is part of personality, and personality is part of destiny. so they cant be modified to be more independent than the host. And on the episode "Flurry of Emotions" Cadence and Shining Amor go to see a friend of theirs, and hes a royal guard. And thats evidence guards have their own lives still and are not just their to protect. btw theres no reason for u to have quoted that nor ad the wink.


I Think princess Alessia got the guts to put more clowns


Can you make a video about Luna's hair because in one of the episodes in season 4 when you see how she became Nightmare moon she was with wavy hair and in season 1 in episode 2 after nightmare moon was defeated Luna has normal hair and not wavy hair like now?


Clones are in other shows to because the creators probably didn’t wanna draw more,but that my guess


Sawtooth waves, can you make a video about, who is the leader of the human Mane 7, sunset, or twilight?


Sure it was used multiple times because it is in twilight’s book


Is it not possible for pony identical twins<br>If so would they have the same cutiemarck

Is it not possible for pony identical twins
If so would they have the same cutiemarck


But wouldn’t all the armies be unstoppable then??!!!??!🧐🧐🧐


I swear sick like everyone in the question except for Pacific people used the portal


Thai is just what I think but maybe the animators didn’t want to create new characters


That’s why I think you’re right they’re like they’re like in the mirror pool because but now they are like they have like magic you’re right you’re Alcorns some of them


Sawtooth can you do a video about what future equestria under twighlights rule I think that sawtooth was right about reforming THE season 9 baddies and now I had this idea what if the main 6 became alicorns! I know I sound crazy but it could work maybe starlight and sunset had a friendship before that episode when starlight becomes human well my theory is the main 6 become alicorn Starlight and sunset become the new royals WAIT WHAT! Yes Starlight and sunset become the new royals so the main 6 retire forever.


When your double is so stupid that you just don't wanna deal with them anymore.


To put simple: I think Hasbro just got lazy :)


Yeah maybe Celestia told him to wait to the pond so they all are the same but maybe some of them or not the white skin I think one of it is twilights Boruto


Who was that sawtooth with a moustache and a top hat with one piece of glasses around his eye


I really like your channel but it could have subtitles in Brazilian


I know I am late but could you do a theory of princess cadence parents I have been wondering about her


my theory is that guard's just have to look like that


Sawtooth Waves : 1st video about royal guard
5 YEARS AGO ....
5 YEARS LATER ....
Finally solving royal guards
Me : o.o  SO LONG ....... IT'S FINALLY SOLVED


This Theory about the mirror pool just made HOI4 Equestria at War Unit Training look stupid becuase Equestria can now spam up unit whenever they want to.


Or maybe the creator of my little pony dont have time to make 100+ different looking guards so they make em look the same to save time xD


Flurry heart's part song was awesome sawtooth waves


tbh i think they have a guard farm in the basement.


Can you pls do a video on why some ponies have the same cutie mark


Honestly i think its the same with the guards and nurse joy from pokemon neice aunties and nephews


Royal Guard: Horse noises
Me: THAT’S ILLEGAL

Royal Guard: *Horse noises*
Me: THAT’S ILLEGAL


If that was so then why did Flash Sentry keep his look


Maybe pinky pie told two guards about the mirror pool


When Twilight sparkle grew up and became queen at that time all gaurds where different 🤔🤔


Is it just me that saw his background is Twivine's (twilight's clone) cave


this video: ,exists´
me: ,sees it´
also me: ,, I have been chosen to be smarter."


The Royal Guard isn't a group. It's a race of Pony that was born to defend Equestria


Some royal guard can talk remember in wedding of cadence one guard talked

Or maybe they are changelings

JOKE i have no idea!


Or wait a minute wait a minute just trust me on this what if she just had the clones make clones you saw in the episode where pinkie pie made clones of herself the clones made clones


I am pretty sure that they just ran out of different-looking ponies


But that doesn't explain why the Royal Guards are SO. FREAKING. USELESS...


maybe its to b more threatening like the British royal guard


MLP: yeah we just got laz-
Sawtooth: no, it meant something.
MLP: sureeeeee that’s exactly what happend


5:31 in case you didn’t watch to the end...


MLP:*Breathes* Sawtooth  Waves:I SMELL THEORIES!


Celestia: k so uhm all y’all need to do is dip yourselves into this pond-


sawtooth the royal sisters flowing manes are magic when they gave twilight there magic there manes stoped flowing


Maby your old theory is right but the guards cut they had a choice if they wanted to take the spell or not I don’t know maybe


What about the changalings? And the mirror pool


My theory: lazy animator just making clones should be easy right?


Once you said jango Fett I had a theory on star wars ll obi wan go to where the clones are born maybe that how The Royal guards are born


Well I do have a theory
That discord and fluttershy are not only married, but have a child.
When flutter shy was singer her solo in the final song, she raised a wing to meet discord’s hand and blew him a kiss with her hoof. They could’ve developed feelings,had the baby, and have it grow up through the time jump. Watch daughter of discord. It’s the inspiration for my theory


What about shining armour, he isn’t a clown, so why does he not fit the mould?


Celestia: we have 500000 ready with 2 million more well on the way


wait, wait, wait, what if princess celestia was a DUPLICIT!?!?!?!?


This theory has nothing do with this video but remember the empty wasteland world created by starlight I think I might be the pony of shadows


ohhhhhhh i could sooooo imagine that Discord would use the mirror!

or Dirpy xD


when theres not four princesses but actually seven


i can tell you what is up  Hasbro was to lazy to animate individual characters


I think the team was like we didn't add female guards and did added them


If the Royal guards are the same person Twilight would now


I don't understand you half the time. just because the 'rulers' were alicorns didn't mean that there weren't others who were naturally born alicorns - just without being in the public eye all the time like the rulers are. You have a pegasus mother/father and a unicorn mother/father, there is then the higher chance of a natural born alicorn - a winged unicorn. Most probably won't pay them much attention at all and alicorns not 'rulers' would probably have found a good calling in the royal guard. I get a spell to help make them 'appear alike' to help protect them since we almost never see them 'off duty'. For all we know, most when removing their armor would appear in different colors than the ones shown. I can only say as to up to season seven on netflix before the show was removed so the 'eight and nine' seasons are completely unknown to me.


I think some of the guards are change Lanks


Pls do the young 6 stained glass window theory ?


so what if the princess of canterlot finds you in the forest


I think does white and black grauds are just in army suit. And some have horns stuff to make captain look more scary. And near the end series you show was just changelinks that say oh want to help my pony pals


Sawtooth wave can you theory that spike could be the seventh element of harmony


Yes and crystal ponies look at first episode of s3 mlp I saw duplicates too


I always belived that animators just ran out of ponies


I DIDNT KNOW THAT YOU WERE STILL UPLOADING I AM SO HAPPY


Sawtooth, get out frrom there, don't clone yourself please XD


Its just the animators being lazy lol<br>Animators spend a hard amount of work and aren't paid very well so most just focus on the flashy bits and make the overall flow of the animation look decent but dont go into the details like making everyone in a crowd look different. This doesnt really need to be theorized..

He Better not clone himself... He cloned himself


Pinky pie wasn’t the only pony that touched the Mira pool there with you as well


Where does Shinig Armor fit n this equation.
He is Twilight' brother, so he makes things a litle complicated.
He wasn't around a thousond years ago......right?


Think shinning pick to have same skin color, but in Oder they need to hide the cutie mark and not think of it. Or they might fail then get fired. And wings are part of the guard suit.  Like most wings are biuld in ponies beside the odd new gen wings. And royal at fake, like could be changing biuld in after the kill some. And one a month or every few week the strongest guard get the wing price. And shinning the highest rank we know. He said nay I don’t wampum it/ he might said that to stay with her he’s born sister and help her and spike out. And color don’t matter for wings.


Maybe there changing wings bc i bet one pony bee thing couldnt born like 1000 of them


Only one reason: they are tooo tired when making animations and concentrate into some main or important characters. So they can't concentrate to other ponies! Ok, just put yourself in their places don't you feel tired? So they use coppy button. Come on they're people not robots! Stop asking why??? Ok fans are truly crazy. Aw wait, do you remember the English   Royal Guardians?


You know the girl ponies look the same there twins. And the royal guard have to look the same because there guards


I kinda think that if celestia did use the mirror pool i think the way she got those two pony. Making them herself aka those two are her children


I think Star swirl made this pool with Normal water then Star swirl cast a spell on it then told Celestia to grow the gaurds and the gaurds told pinke’s granny then passed it to pinkie pie


I have a theory that-
ᴶᵘˢᵗ⁻
ᴍɪɢʜᴛ-
𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞. . .

Hasbro got lazy.

I have a theory that-
*ᴶᵘˢᵗ⁻*
*ᴍɪɢʜᴛ-*
*𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞. . .*

*Hasbro got lazy.*


I dont like this idea mostly because it makes sense, so im going to pretend this video does not exist and my head cannon stays intact.


Why was Shining Armour not in a disguise?


They are barns because maybe Celestia turned them all the same


Another theory,they could be changlings reformed


oh no, mlp turned into star wars with celestia and luna as a jango fett


I think the Royal guards twins and your right about they so many of them


if the animators didn't just get lazy and copy and paste then I think that your theory can be true. pinkie got her memory and rhymes of the mirror pool from her great aunt pinkie and pinkie pie believed her so who knows who else she told? I also think that pinkie might be a clone and aged down. why else would her great aunt be named pinkie pie? or did i just hear it wrong? I have a good bit of texting if I'm going to say what I fully think so I won't unless asked. it also could be just the outfit. the eye color, fur color, and race could be making them different. there r plenty of ponies in equestria so there can me non clones completely.


Or maybe the people who were making this show were lazy and did not have ideas and made them the same then realize it looked a little wierd and made more verzions of them


this is cool and all and the person who was drawing my little pony ran out of ideas so they just copied other ponys


I think the changlings used the mirror pool


This is off topic from the video but, could u try to figure out  age in Equestria next? The reason i ask this is because i recently realized that on the episode of the Apple Family Reunion, granny says that its been over 100 moons since the last one, And the last one was in season 1. meaning that from season 1 up until that episode, 8 1/2 years had passed! and nopony seemed to age at all. i would say more but im not going to right now because i want to see your theory, if u decide to do it that is. :D If u do end up doing the video ill put my theory of how age works.

@Dinomitous My friends comment wasn't a hate comment you dullard and i don't even see why you would have even thought it was and apology not accepted.

@Baymax in armor says the one bothering me with his crap, btw i also have a right to my opinion. and i dont like HATE comments so thats the only reason i commented on it, sorry if yall took offense to me going against a hate comment. but remember... its the internet lol. good day :D

Hey leave my friend alone, like i said it's his opinion not yours and he has a right too it, just because you don't like it that doesn't mean you have to go around being childish by calling my friend an idiot and saying that his comment is dumb i mean do you see him or me saying that about your comment?...no you don't so don't bother other people with your crap.


It is clear animationer got didn't know who the guards would be soo he made em the same


short answer: the animation budget <br>long answer: this

short answer: the animation budget
long answer: this


the only reason they look the same is because they don't have any more design idea


You know what, everyone know that the animators get lazy


does the guy not understand that idk, maybe the some of the guards look exactly alike bc they might be twins.. 💀💀


Did you know smolder is a girl it is so surprising thanks spike


I saw bon bon i think thats her name as a clone right in slis of life we see bon bon as a secret agent of Celestea right stay with me here to ceep her caver she Usd a mirror pool to clone herself


Sawtooth waves i know who is 2 alicorns sunset and starlight because they have a sparkle,shimmer,glimmer


Omg i never knew i would see you in my recommendations after years


Hey I have a question. I actually want to start making video's like yours, but I don't know where to begin. Do you have any advice?


I have a theory,MLP just ran out of ideas for different guards


the animotors got lazy so they just made them the same.


Mlp gaurds saying stop:halt who goes there<br>Queen's royal gaurds saying stop:STEP AWAY FROM THE QUEEN'S GUARD

Mlp gaurds saying stop:halt who goes there
Queen's royal gaurds saying stop:STEP AWAY FROM THE QUEEN'S GUARD


It was probably like, a rule for them to dye their hair or smth


Or the alicorn guards and twin ponies are just animation errors I’m not complaining ur videos change my perspective on the series


Oh the ponies got some kind of sorcerer enhancement XD


I know this is off topic but anyone else miss the bro hoof


Probably Celestia and Luna lays plenty of pony eggs to help increase the guards even thought I know ponies don't lay eggs.


hMmm...would the Queen of changelings use this pool..? Just an idea


i was watching stuff abt the clone wars and then this video,,, now its all messed up in my head lmao the royal guard r all mandalorians,, luna was a sith


Girls when they wear the same thing: OMG YOU CAN'T WEAR THAT I WORE IT FIRST!!<br>Guys:

Girls when they wear the same thing: OMG YOU CAN'T WEAR THAT I WORE IT FIRST!!
Guys:


Uhh what about Shining Armor and Cadences guard friend? Spearhead I think his name was


What about their uniforms how how could princess Celeste know about this one of them is earth pony one of them is unicorn one of them is Pegasus


Theyre changelings who decide to leave Chrysalis: a rebbelion


My little pony  just doesn’t have the budget to draw individual or characters lol


Is there any information where the REAL human sunset glow is, the sunset glow pony sunset we see is pony sunset, so where is the human sunset?


Why do all Royal Guards look the same <br>Animators who got lazy: oh shit

Why do all Royal Guards look the same
Animators who got lazy: oh shit


And plus if it didn't even use by somebody then how the heck did the Legend come true that the mere pool did absolutely was true


“Like janglefet”<br>Me being stupid: huh what about chess?

“Like janglefet”
Me being stupid: huh what about chess?


Reality: The producers were just brain dead


In exestria the princesses retire give up there powers but there qt marks are a sun and 🌓


Why do i feel like the changelings have been here?


Sawtooth, what is starswirls cutie marks. WE have never seen it before


Your MLP theories are getting a little dark there, Sawtooth.


Who else heard the music at the end of the video and immediately thought of that YouTube channel. DEAN X CASTIEL FOR LIFE


Plot twist: the changlins are just clones


Changeling? "OH SHIT HOS IS A CHANGELI- Crunch Shlurp Uhh, nevermind, false alarm"

Changeling? "OH SHIT HOS IS A CHANGELI- *Crunch* *Shlurp* Uhh, nevermind, false alarm"


Me : missed it when it came out.<br>Also me: 😭😢😭

Me : missed it when it came out.
Also me: 😭😢😭


3:10 what if they just started with 4 instead of 2???


Hello its been six years since the previous video on whats up with the guards.


Orr... the animators coulda gotten lazy and broke out their secret weapon...

...copy & paste

Orr... the animators coulda gotten lazy and broke out their secret weapon...

*...copy & paste*


Theres no alicorn gaurd its just a hasbro bug


Why is it called the mirror pole okay so one becomes two and two becomes four and for becomes 16


yes but even though they are just ponies won't the die after some time not all the gurds were in the age spell like the new ones


like queen chrysalis created changeling s <br>the ruler before celestia ruled canter lot created royal guards and others were twins

like queen chrysalis created changeling s
the ruler before celestia ruled canter lot created royal guards and others were twins


Hmm I think the creators were just too lazy to draw new ponys and just copy and paste them in


I think chrisiliss cloned a changeling because there are 100ds


hate to break it to you bu this is called "them not wanting to make 100s of characters for the guards so they just copy them"


Subtle ways I was thinking about a <br>video that you should make how does your horn grow I think that would be a very good idea please reply

Subtle ways I was thinking about a
video that you should make how does your horn grow I think that would be a very good idea please reply


there are a lot of alicorn and non-royal guard clone animation errors


Maybe the ppl who morph into other ppl used it bc there is many of them???


I think that the animators got lazy duplicated them in the animation


its called saving money and the the mlp crew just made copies to save time and money.


Lol I don't think there a magical theory that has to go behind the royal guards cuz it's just royal guards, and since MLP is aimed for kids, kids will just think "oh yeah the royal guard" and not really think to much about why they all look the same. I know I didn't when I was 5. So yeah I think that's just it. A copy and paste is all. That's just my take on things. And I do think t's really cool we saw more of a variation of the royal guard like the female one, thought that was pretty cool

However this is a really good theory and is very interesting to watch.


Or...! The animators just got lazy and just duplicaded ponies and thought that no one will notice?


it's because they draw them at the same  art style


The animators who just copy and pasted without thinking to much of it: 😶


Two ponys used the pool and stad until he got old,then the next one stays.ps rifle


I said starlight glimmer because her cutie mark and name and she’s powerful so


Hasbro arejust too lazy to make different royal guard character


I think because they are lazy thats why the guards look like each other

Sawtooth wazes spoiling my little pony creator

Creator:f##ck this man is good we ned some back up

Saw tooth wazes: ez


I think the queen chrysalis has her changlings go through the mirror pool like if you agreee 😁


Simple answer: lazyness or no time to make varieties


Or mby hasbro just got too lazy to draw 1000 different guards


that's why there are so many changelings


What if chrysalis is going to use the pool to make her own to delete her or me because she can


<b>i thought they just use paint and dyed their hair...</b>

*i thought they just use paint and dyed their hair...*


Pinkies clones said fun! Fun! Fun! But I think then the guards clones would say guard! Guard! Guard! XD


U know maybe just maybe a new show with the pony as the main character the one we saw at the very last episode a new show that we have the pony and she defeats the real grogar  crysallis and tirek in the frost episode (like nightmare moon in friendship is magic) pls read this pls pls pls pls pls pls


Thank you for answering my Question! (Even i didn't commented but that's my Question tho😂😅)


The animators could be lazy to make more oc's ._. Maybe there just duplicate it to make it more easier.


But other royal guard's got other colors


Got a question sawtooth how are you feeling about mlp gen 5


Hi you should update ( Love is magic? ) for valentines


Nah it’s just hasbro and DHX being too lazy to make original ponies so they just use the same pony over and over and over again 😭


its because the producers got lazy and made the same characters thats why


Bro leave the animators alone, they probably have it on a due date and it’s easier to do make it two colors instead of multiple


The Royal Guards are just 10000 million Army...


Btw has anyone noticed how Twilights old friends but only not moon dancer appear EVERYWHERE and they where the same age as twilight was at the beginning of s1 back all the way when mlp showed how twilight got her cutimark


I'm jus thinking
What if mlp didn't really think that deep and yet all of us are just theorising and over thinking and mlp is like

That actually makes sense


In season five the re cuity mark epasode one one some of the royal guards was purple


Maybe its a uniform<br>A skinsuit if you will

Maybe its a uniform
A skinsuit if you will


This make sense because if you have two perfect ponys why not make copies


what about the changelings because they all look the same except chrisylist


Thers still one question that cant be awnserd... why are they so incompetent??


I think the creator was too lazy to make different look pony and then the creator copy and paste


Animators: you try making hundreds of chracters


sorry to ruin ur theories but i dont think the animators would have time to make hundreds of each different looking guards


Orrrr they just dyed their hair and celestial just wanted grey and white ponies-


How come Applejack's friend rara has the same cutie mark as celebrate Salman in My Little pony the movie and how come they have different features one has no wings and the other does that's when I'm wondering sawtooth waves can you do a video on this by the way 😊 my favorite pony character is princess Celestia I've been here ever since you posted that flurry heart is a bomb or something like that can't remember


Plot twist : <b>the animators didn’t care :)</b>

Plot twist : *the animators didn’t care :)*


Well twilights boyfreind had not a clone 😌


At the mlp movie the while tempest sings open up your eyes her horn isn’t broken at her shadow! What does this mean?


solution: drain the the stupid pool (if you can)


Hmmmm  maybe someone like Great and powerful like Trixie ? She looks like a which to me  but I don't know I wonder.


Its 3:35 am, what am I doing??? Eh screw it <b>que binging MLP theories</b>

Its 3:35 am, what am I doing??? Eh screw it *que binging MLP theories*


bruh the aillorn grards are just they messeed up on doing it


Are twilight and starlight sisters cause they both have the word light in


hello you put this on here the day after my b.day and im ten now and I love love love love love love love love mlp and I watch your channel so as a b.day present can you post on wens days and Fridays pls


Well they do this because to save money!!!


m8 ur forgot urself in that vid u also can have clones wondering around ur a changleing so u got a chance


Conspiracy theory Luna is just a duplicate


Let’s not forget that there are also earth ponies that’s at grey or white


Mby its just bc if they all looked the same all the atenson would be put on the things they want u to se. If they all looked defrent. It would take your atenson. Or else they where just lazy af. And copyd. It takes alot to design evey single one of them


But one thing I want to know. Why before raze dazzle why no female guard and where the come form. Well there only been like 3 or 5 i saw. But like most show most like to do with no rascim


Maybe the carreteres made them like thez


It wouldn’t matter about the mental thing cuz the guards don’t even talk


What is celestia took only four ponies  and she trained them and she took  to the mirror pool and then they take out the clones


yeah you also know that those hair on the top is fake it is not their real hair because in a few episodes one of them takes it off and his hair is there but so is the fake hair on it.


Well I guess the mane 6 are not coming back.


I don't think the mirror pool theory works because Some are unicorns some are pegasi and some are Earth ponies!

I commented that halfway through the video


Your so genius .you think so many thing about my little pony . I like it.😄😄😄😄😄


my only question is why there isn’t any boys that are alicorns plus how did rarity want to meet the princess niece and  luna  isn’t even married


But memorable is with a lock very hard to


I think that pink pie wasn’t the only one some of the hard mi be a cailg


the real answer is the artists got lazy and copy and pasted the designs of the guards .^.


I think guards might actually have the spell thing. But its personal and does make everyone personal (Like. Wich one is closer yor personality you come or something like that) but idk. Dont mind me im just thinking xD i mean... But. Why would celestia use mirrorlake when pinkie pie went wild when she used that. ;¬; But idk soo. Dont mind me :'D


plot twist: the animators were just lazy


In 2:40 part of the video and one picture the mouth and nose is curved and in the other picture the mouth and nose is flat???


I’ll tell you why they look the same

The animators were lazy 😑


You like Star Wars too I believe your theory


I found the video in which saw prime was created


Or the creator has not idea of what the pony’s look like


Plot twist the artist are just to lazy to make new ponies


Yes or the animators just got lazy you know


Orrr um the creators don’t want to create so many different models back then?


There’s no backstory behind it

They just got lazy


I have a question to ask please
Will My Little Pony Season 10 will come?
It is possible or not that Starlight Glimer become a princess in season 10 of My little pony cartoon??
Please  please answer my question because Starlight Glimer is my favorite character and I really really want that Starlight become a princess in Season 10.


So much of pony’s that are the same so every pony used it


I think ponies<br> and ponyville found  this before pinkie pie probably got it from the the police and ponyville and Granny Smith really knows but this is my opinion

Dude simple they dont wanted to work to much they just copied the animations


THE alicorn guards are just animating errors sorry


Celestia had 1000 children at one time they are her children


They do this to save money sorry to burst your bubble. They do same design different colors to save design money. The real world is a horrid place.


Twillight reaction thear are clones <br>Guards yes we are clones we dont remeper whear are tha original

I though that the last Time we saw your messy hair since the flash episode


sir i saw alicorns as a 3 of the guards with there arm on there head um


Duh u were messing with us considering that the mirror pool backdrop was behind u


They just lazy to design all side character

<b>star wars clone wars theme ponifies.</b>


My explanation is that the animators just got lazy


Question: what would happen if a changeling used the mirror pool? Imagine if they were in the form of a pony, would it duplicate the pony’s looks or would it still duplicate the Changeling’s look?

New MLP sequal- Star Wars: My little Clone wars or Star Wars: My little Sith Revenge


Probably they had a bunch of twins, triplets, or maybe quadruplets

I should stop talking


I think I figured it out... the animators were just lazy af


This is  good but one problem what abt twilight brother? is he a clone?

No he was one of the only originals/ponies with no clones


Huh, i just thought the animators were lazy


mail pony and cozy glow duplicated mail in season 4 episode 25

This is such a cool channel, also I’m trying to grow , it’s called amber and Noor, me and my sister.


I was thinking about it and i still javent gotten it


Animation budget show runs longer more money


first they are not clones second its probably because the animators were lazy


But couldn't the just the Pegasus go with the white in the unicorn go with the brown


What did you do when you were a changeling


Is sunset shimmer and princess Celistia related?? My theory is that sunset shimmer is the daughter of princess Celistia. Sunset shimmer is a unicorn and you said in one of your last vids princesses weren’t born except flurryheart. There cutie marks are similar there both suns? There both unicorns sort of and sunset shimmer may be alicorn now to?? Figure it out


movies of different alicorn cuz some alicorns were earth pony and the others were not and more


Bruh what video should i watch?I already watched all!


I think the animators just copied and paisted many ponies

•𝘌𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭•


It is because the animators are soo lazy so instead of making every single pony different why not just copy them


Bro really 😒 it’s the animators they can’t make them all different that’s very time consuming


Oooooorrrrrrrrr the animators were to lazy to draw different characters


Am I the only one who thinks they like died there hair and coats????


They're just background characters and no one really cares-

You mean royal guards not royal guard right also its on the title


That will work if there qiutimaks are the sam


I think you should whach the last adventure fan mlp comic on YouTube


I GOT THE NOTIFICATIONS 3 DAYS LATER >:(((((((((( but this video is still really good


Ther are clones of them becaus the the drawer got layzy


This is a simle animation (I meen MLP) and the gards are too much to make everyone deferent


Hmmm... I don't like that face you made... What're you up to Changeling? 😱🧐🤔


I want to ask you a question can I ??????


Ummm there's literally no need for theory Sawtooth,its obvious animators were lazy thats all. Like no hate but stop doing theories that make no sense...


99% of people/comments star wars memes ( I think its star wars )


Look like luna iss a princess so she will need gaurds and celestia  so I thing the dark ones are for luna and the another ones are for sis celestia


I bet the royal guards what is notroyal guards they must be changeling rude by queen chrysalis I know that’s weird


I love  my little pony  i love  you. Smooth waves


The animator is lazy to make other designs


teh animatorz got lazy .........

Im joking


That’s probably cuz they are LAZY (they= the creators of mlp)


aha you are the other one sawtooth waves


Did you literally just ask someone else then Pinky pie used it you used it


Easy, animation budget and lazy animators


They look the some because of ........ PRINCESS LUNA AND CELESTIA!!!!!!!


Oh my this was posted 3 days ago and im late but i can watch the video   yay!!!!!!!


Why are the auto generated subtitles in Korean?


Sawtooth waves you are a  pony but how can you do your video please tell me 😐


Mnnn i don't really agree with this theory


They all look the same because it’s an animation and no one would really care except for you ;-;


Mabey thay look like that because its like the dress code or something? so thay all just have to die thar fur and mans and mabey girls arnt really aloud?


The old guys that were in the flashback from Celeste Dia they died and and fix Celestia found new ones and then those ones Died and left your phone new ones


aaaaww to cute 💗💋❣💟🎂❤💟💟🎂❤💟💟💟 ooooooooooooooo


Well.. according on my opinion-

The animators were lazy

god im the only one here besides Sawtooth that gets theories and that it ruins it if u bring in... ugh animators. atleast try to keep it within the show

The reason the guards look the same is to for Formal Attire. ya know... like royal guards irl are supposed to look as identical as possible.


hey you aready made a video about this ? what


Ha u posted this two days and he got 5.4k likes


My theory: Twilight Sparkle is the ruler of equestria. She is immortal! She also rules with her friends! But her friends are not immortal. So when Twilights friends die, Twilight will die too! The next ruler of equestria might be Luster Dawn. Or Twilight will use a spell to make her friends immortal.


Dis like MATPAT disprobved ur theory idk xd move on brony go get room

Now i don't want to be rude I love your theorys but have you see the gards at London ? Same hat and uniform? Yeah like work ? But i get the consept of that there all the same


Sorry to poop on your thing I really don’t wanna be a hater but you did kind of ask for my input at the end(leave your thoughts in the comments) so here it is thank you sincerely said(I solemnly swear to not be scared of the concept of being doubly #####sorry I just don’t know how to spell that word and when I say it inside voice search it does something that I know for a fact is offensive🤷♀🤦♀

Even though that’s the most important part of my argument do you not know how to spell it and I do not want to Disturb the French piece


Having just seen “The Sixth Day”, I can say that there may be some serious ethical implications to cloning the guards.


what’s with the random guards with the darker armor? i’m still confused about that


That's a very cool and well thought explanation! I really like this idea and will keep it as the official headcanon explanation. c: I'm always impressed what theories you come up with! Wanna see more of that! c: Brohoof!


i think the discrepencies, with some of the guards having swapped horns or wings, could also be directly because of the pool. if the two guards went in at the same time, then maybe the pool would occasionally mess up, and swap a couple of their features? it could also explain the alicorns, too!


I think you're overthinking it my friend. This simple solution is that the armor was enchanted. For example, the guard in the season 3 introduction whose eye color change when he took off his helmet. This also explains the Batwing guards in luna eclipsed. The guards were glamored to look the same.

However, after multiple embarrassing defeats, including having the capital conquered thrice in a span of three years, glamored armor fell out of favor in favor of enchantments that give actual protection instead of aesthetics.


I think to really confirm this cloning thing then most of the guards would have to have the same cutie mark. Anyway really cool theory!!


My comments regarding this have gotten noticed, but I"ve never gotten an answer. Why such a grudge against Syannax and Farefallen? I'm genuinely curious about what in Equestria could've warranted this ongoing, consistent phenomenon that is Sawtooth's sarcastic tone when referring to those two.


I think the increasing diversity of the Royal guard is because the Clones proofed to be inefective during the Cangeling Invasion. So they started drafting again, which has become much more easy because the population saw the crises and lacking combat effectiveness of the royal Guard.


You're My Little Pony theories and ideas are so creative and has so much story development. My Little Pony Hasbro and Lauren fast could learn a lot from you. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜


This is your most conspiracy of conspiracy theories.
I'm actually kinda surprised that you didn't hear the headcanon that young guards, when they first join, aren't put under the coat changing charm until they stop being cadets.

The reason there are many more guards, with different coats, is likely because cadets were given a bigger role in the castle, after all the guards failures. A hope that the guards could improve through numbers


They needed to expand the army as threats kept growing and so the spell wasn’t gonna work on just everypony


Seemingly reasonable if we must have an in-universe explanation for an out of universe cost saving measure. Though I will remind you of an exchange when Twilight got her wings:
-You look like a Princess.
-- That's because she IS a princess.
It may well be possible that there are winged unicorns that are not alicorns.


I had never really thought about it, it sounds very interesting although it could also be an animation error, but I like to think that the theory of clones is true.

The reason the guards look the same is to for Formal Attire. ya know... like royal guards irl are supposed to look as identical as possible.

Royal guards looking MOSTLY the same, Royal guards that we see in over 80 episodes of the show, Royal guards that are very important and noticeable. ya thats not an error u idiot


Love the Royal Guard ponies. Shining Armor and Flash Sentry are my favorite guards.


4:45
This is why I subbed. The hilarious jokes and visual effects. And the end of the video is included.


I liked to headcanon that the reason they all looked the same was because of a spell that made them all look identical(at least while on duty), same with the mares at Twi's coronation.

The reason Flash Sentry and a few other ponies look different could be that they're on new recruits "trial duty", being supervised by older members to see if they're fit to be Royal Guards. This could be why we see more of them later on in the show, some members could be retiring.

The Mirror Pool is also a great idea though!! I actually really really like that.


Thanks for the nice videos 🙂    ,I noticed something in one of your videos which didn't make sense to me. : you said that the tree of harmony used celestia to free nightmare moon with the stars .while in the book it says that the stars will free nightmare moon. who wrote that in the book ?. and when starlight went back in time to stop the rainboom we see a time line showing nightmare moon , so I don't think that the tree of harmony will control celestia to free nightmare moon right 🤨?. could you explain in a video? Thanks ☺


While everyone's been thinking batponies are some separate species, I always assumed it was a magic costume for nightmare night.


Unrelated to the vid, but...what I want to know...is if Tempest became an alicorn, would her horn be restored? The transformation has created wings and horns before, so I don't see why it couldn't be used to restore a horn. I think it would return to normal if the transformation were removed, with it being broken again, but as an alicorn, would the transformation restore it or would it remain the same? That's not quite clear


Can’t say I am a fan of the clone theory, yet the points you brought up make a decent amount of sense. The mirror pool must have been used at some point in the past for there to be a rhyme about it. Pinkie’s family always seems kinda wise from her Granny Pie to her Nana Pie to even her sisters. She has a different kind of wisdom, but moving on to the theories I believe more in...

For the similar mane-style thing, we know from Zephyr Breeze that there are Salonists and Mane therapists. (Hair therapy is a real thing that I did not know previously.) Those mane-cuts may be common mane styles ponies get that are easier to move around with. Like putting your hair into a ponytail or bun for work. Another thing I’d like to bring up is that from the short, Rarity’s Biggest Fan, that her mane seems to naturally curl. If her casually blowing on it makes it curl back into shape is anything to go off. Twilight’s mane seems to be naturally straight and even remained that way wet. Some may decide it’s better to work with the way their mane’s want to go rather than work against.

For the mostly identical guard ponies, I like the popular enchantment theory since it seems like something possible in the My Little Pony world. Case and point, kinda, the Inspiration Manifestation spell and maybe even Starswirl’s Journal. I like to think that having the guard look like each other helps to hide them. You could have a lighting spell specialist next to a lance specialist and any enemies wouldn’t be able to tell the difference amongst a large group. I would like to think the main appearance enchantment is in the armor they wear rather than just the helm. Though we have seen a guard take off his helmet in the Crystal Empire, he still sounded like what we’ve heard from most of the guards. What if the helmet has another that makes them sound similar? It being on the armor helps them avoid the enchantment being broken if it was solely on the helmet.

Maybe to avoid confusion from other guards, there are a select few with specialized training that get to show a bit more of their natural appearance. Aka the mare guards we actually see from Sparkle’s Seven upward. There is no way a mostly female society would exclude mares from the guard... We are just now seeing them and even individuals like Shining Armor who have a specialized area that needs them to stand out. He probably had the enchantment on in his regular guard days.

And I know some may ask, “if blending in provides them cover, and only specialized show themselves more so they can be recognized easier, then why do they not switch the enchantment back on when there’s an emergency?”

Honestly, how would most enemies know in the first place? Unless like in some fanfictions the guard handbook is something locally produced in Bookstores.


When I saw the title of the video I was like "It's going to involve the mirror pool, isn't it?". And eeyup I was right! 😁


Ok I like the theory that the alicorns guards came from a spell to have them look like the others but I had thought that what if they used the pool to make clones what if originally one type of pony let’s say the Pegasus went in the the unicorn went in never both at once that is until a demand for more guard was so great that they couldn’t wait to take turns and so that is what led to some unicorn and Pegasus guards mains and coats getting switched alone with the alicorn guards I had just thought that it came from crossed cloning

I just watched a few episodes of the show gargoyles and the last episode I saw was the one where clone versions of them was made and one was a mix of 2 characters

So that could be the case and so I think that this theory runs deeper than you are telling or at least thinking and possibly if you read this comment do a update video on the theory so I think that celestia when starting to rein she started to assemble the guard but very few volunteered aka those 2 because everyone else was to scared and wanted to live their lives happy and so celestia looked for a way to expand the guard by still recruiting other ponies which failed so in the meantime she made the 2 guards immortal they couldn’t be harmed or killed so they could serve for as long as needed while she tried recruiting more ponies when while reading in the library she learned of the pool and she thought that it would be the answer to her problem but she doesn’t know if it would work so she wanted to test it but not by using it herself not to risk another midnight moon thing or maybe she did probably not just wanted to say that suggesting it to you to look into and she couldn’t use it on the guards right away if it fails then there would only be 2 guards still so I think she probably asked a few ponies for a picnic by the pool possibly tricking them in to using it so after the picnic she asks them if they would want to go for a swim and so they did and out came clones of each pony there and she told them the truth and they were mad at first but then came around and agreed with her decision and what if the ponies that were there were couples so that would explain the multiple ponies now they are the children of the originals and clones and they are potentially clones themselves but being born and not exactly cloned means that they could possibly get a different cutie mark then the original

If your a little confused by reading that me to I got confused writing it trying to explain it but I would like to talk about this further I would like to do a colab but I’m not exactly ready for that myself


Hey maybe keeping those royal guards immortal means if they fought in wars before they'd be veterans

And also, if during a war they suffer casualties
BOOM,just clone some more


I still prefer the idea of it being a spell or something to make them uniform. As for the later more diverse looks, that could be a result of diversifying the guard into roles. By diversifying and assigning them into more defined roles, it makes it easier to know who's where, assign and organize your units, and could potentially make infiltration harder. Instead of posing as "Royal guard # 368422930016", you now have "Nighttime custodian of the royal library 3rd division", which is dressed differently than the Canterlot south garrison, not to mention the personal guard of the soverign. This isn't unheard of in the real world either, it's the branches of a military. It's how you keep your force organized. A force where everyone is army, navy, and airforce simultaniously is unpractical and unorganized, which Twilight definetly wouldn't allow.


There were possibilities that the Royal Guards may have been clones. But I notice that during the capture of Cozy Glow, one guard is female. This meant there were also female guards as well.


I think that you're right but when Calistia she thought that there might be chaos there, as she learned from too many pinkies!


I have a theory. Perhaps its just a ceremonial thing. Maybe a spell that is put on the armor as its being forged. However I think it might only be for those who are on ceremonial details such as guarding the Princess. Perhaps there's also a temporary spell that can do it for short periods of time for big events such as the Royal wedding.


The mirror pool has definitely been used for instant army just add water. Also my oat likely, ponies just tend to stumble across it every now and then and they probably go for a drink, bath, or just a swim to find themselves doubled


My thought, what if the old clones don't age?


I agree with your statement. But I have a question. So in the last episode of mlp I just noticed something. At the end of the song "the magic or friendship grows" when the book is about to close the sun is setting behind twilight and her friends and twilight is not setting the sun nor rising the moon. Does that mean celestia and luna are doing it? Or is it someone else. Idk bc I thought they retired from that. But I might be wrong.


Cool video. This theory makes a lot of sense. Now we know why the royal guards look the same. And I have, not one but two ideas for future analysis videos. First: explaining what happened to Applejack’s parents. Because that’s a question everyone is being asking. And if I’m being honest, I think Timberwolf may have been involved with AJ’s parents dead. Or probably something else. Either way, I think they may have died protecting their family. Second: the student 6 going to outer space and discovering an alien species, that’s threatening an other planet, let’s say Mars. Because it would awesome to see them going to space and solve a friendship problem in another planet, plus defeating the evil aliens. Because that’s what you said in one of your videos. That they may have encountered an alien species. Anyway I hope you do these videos. Because these questions need to be answered at some point.💂🏻♀💂🏼🍎🐴👨👩👧👦🌌🛸🪐👽☄


Lol 😆 this is awesome XD I loving your theories 😄 Thank you 😊


Changeling army possible. Hmm <.<

Also, if something was to ever happen to the princesses, like maybe an assassination, they could maybe have a backup clone of themselves hidden away if something was to ever happen to them. But then again, that could lead to many problems.


I think that Celestia just made them dye their coats and manes so they look more "guard like"


I think some of the royal guard is likely the product of families of ponies who have pleaged themselves to serve Equestia and it runs in the family, the ponies we see who don't look like normal royal guards could be ones who are still learning the ropes, besides an army of ponies who look exactly alike at a distance would be a cause for worry to the enemy and figuring out who to bribe or who would help betray their princesses for gold or whatever, would be hard when they all look exactly alike in a army of hunderds, say you have fifty Unicrons and fify Pegasi and you made a deal with a Unicron, it only narrows it down by one but then comes the question of which one, unless they are like Shining Armour, wearing different armour/uniform!


And if starlight can take away cutie marks from a hole village then she can definitely lift a rock (and twilight also lifted that rock so you can only believe that starlight can to)


This video makes me think why didn't the villains use the mirror pool and why didn't anyone get the idea of cloning Celestia a billion times


Isnt it amazing how in 2021 we're talking about duplicated fictional horses?


And I know this is a little of topic but how in eqestrea do they get those helmets that perfectly match there manes?!


There is a simple explanation about it you just need to acknowledge:

Copy...
then right click,
and select paste.


this makes a lot of sense this can definitely be cannon!!


Don’t make yourself a clone the world couldn’t take it your <br>theoreys are to good

Don’t make yourself a clone the world couldn’t take it your
theoreys are to good


Question? All guards or just the ROYAL guard? One thing for sure, is that fur dye would help give a more...uniform appearance, plus a disguise spell plus's a few clones.


Ago I thought that it was MAGIC ARMOR, that makes them look the same, but, just as u said, there are some imposters.


So they're clones? That would certainly explain, why they all act always the same!


Sawtooth: comes up with all these crazy awesome theories
The real reason: laziness
Me: watching anyway because their videos are very entertaining :D

@JewelTheJaguar 742 No worries! Tysm! ♡☆

@Jeff Woods oh, I apologize! I'll change it right now

Actually Sawtooth goes by they/them! If you check their about section of the channel.


interesting theory, however I don't think that celestia would leave the mirror pool fully unprotected because if someone else found it then they could have the same ability to make an entire army from just a few pony's, or maybe celestia did not use the mirror pool at all and instead used some form of duplication spell, while the latter seems less likely i think that it would explain why celestia or the royal guard did not put any form of protection around the mirror pool, unless they thought that the everfree forest would be enough of a deterrent to steer pony's away


I think that the changlinges used the mirror pool to duplicate and let chrysalis have an army of her own


This is what happens when animators get lazy. There's always a theorist who will overthink it.


maybe the guard has the magic of celestial and she gave them some of her magic


Sawtooth wasn’t a imposter he was a changeling


Saving money and time on animations. Nah

Theory of cloning and illusion spells. Wrinkly big brain move.


NO! Bad Sawtooth, BAD! No evil mustache twirling, no jumping in the po-

You jumped, didn't you?


My question is who ruled Equestria before Celestia and where its capital was before Celestia.


kind of makes you think about all the nurse  joys even thought there all suppose to be cosins


Why can I imagine Cozy Glow making a bunch of idiot clones of herself and using them to take over the world?


If so then it really should be better protected.<br>Lol at the end sending him back in the pool is going to make things worse lol

If so then it really should be better protected.
Lol at the end sending him back in the pool is going to make things worse lol


Ok two theories that are very weird and unlikely but still possible what if the villains you know tirek, Cozy Glow, and Chrysalis found the pool and duplicated themselves and those clones are the ones that are in stone or Chrysalis found it herself  and using some of the renegade changelings cloned herself an army but never got to use them so then they could break her out!


I think it's just either a spell. Or a simple Fur dye.


Other Bronies: It's just an animation error or the animators are lazy. That's all
Sawtooth Waves: THEY USED THE MIRROR POOL

The ending is hilarious, though


I think it's like real life
In real life guards or troops OR army people sometimes or used to wear the same, like the same cloths and same masks to confuse the enemy and for the head leader to be safer
So maybe celestia does a color spell or something


Wow your so cool like how do you come up with these theroys


WHAT IF THEY USED THE MIRROR POOL TO MAKE THE PONY POPULATION BIGGER?


Palpatine: we need more army, the clone planet is bankrupt

Mirror pool: hmmm you look like a good guy, i will help you


While we're on the topic of the royal guard I was wondering is it possible you could find out what exactly their armor is made out of I mostly saying this cuz I am a blacksmith fanatic but I would seriously like to know what metal it is

Also who do you guys think would win in a fight 300 ancient Greek Spartans or the entire equestrian military this is not including any alicorns


I never thought of tye gards like clones


This is a great theory Sawtooth, but... the rhyme specifically said ‘mare’


Now I can't stop thinking about this whole thing. Lol no doubt I'll be at it all night. Goodbye sleep.


Yes I like this idea thing but what what if 2 ponys go in the pond at the same time? Maybe that's why some where wight gourds was a unicorn and the other way around what then?


I just want to point out that yes there coats are the same but what about there manes? I mean we have seen mostly white guards with blue manes but we've also seen white guards with black manes right?


Plus in season 9 we've still seen a completely blue guard


Sawtooth: ok back in the pool<br>Me: Why am I laughing so hard

Sawtooth: ok back in the pool
Me: Why am I laughing so hard


The changelings are probably cloned as well,


I get it. But... so many clones of the same pony... does sound weird to be honest. But, it does seem like the right. Oh well. Maybe the MLP animators wanted to add this affect so people could think about it???? To be honest, it all seems weird that not only the royal guards are "clones" but also some normal ponies. Or maybe there was a spell or something to "clone" the other ponies so that the village will look.... full???? I rather leave this so the experts like Sawtooth Waves. I'll just watch and agree with them.


Nice! Hey can you make a video about the next generation? Pretty Please... :D


What about pinkie? When pinkie pie made clones they malfunctioned so wouldn’t Royal gaurd clones malfunction to?


Ive always wondered why they look the same


I literally saw the background image of the mirror pool, and immediately smacked myself in the face.  OF COURSE!!!!!!!!!!!


Saving cost on animation? Nah, MIRROR PORTAL!


What if it was used on the villains that are a statue now I can remember how to spell their names but anyway what if someone put the statue in the pool and and non statue version of them came out while they were still a statue


But one thing,in the espisode when the mane six look who is the orinigal pinkie and some of her clones they distorted.


Starswirl: 200,000 units are ready, with a million more well on there way.


Even if you clone them, they are still useless


I think Celestia make a royal guard look the same because she is white like some of them and I think she want some to be Gray and by the way where is pegasus and unicorn and Pegasus and unicorn make alicorn so that's why I think that Celestia is in charge all of the Royals guard looking the same


The clones also explain why the majority are too stupid, the clone of a clone of a clone surely be with errors


I think it may have just been something to help the animators


I mean maybe it was just for ease of art...? WHO AM I KIDDING IT WAS THE POOOOL!


You know what is Maud was doing something different mirror pool


It was probably cuz the editors are lazy and decided to make new guards 😂😂


I have an idea that has nothing to do with the video above but just listen. Princess platinum is cadence mother. Because platinum is a unicorn and her lover or husband is a pegasus. They made cadence and lived a happy life but when platinums father came and took over(From the how Sombra lost his wings video) the Crystal Empire.They decided to bring baby cadence to a safe place and the rest is history.?


me:thinking its a lazy thing*
sawtooth:makes a vid about it
me:0-0 forget  mah idea


Celsetia: hm theres millions of ponies willing to be guards and train all their lives?

Thats cool but anyway i found this lake and-


I know the answer is that the animators did copy past The  Ponys but it's fun when we theorize even though we know the answer.And wow is that rarity's body with fluttershay's her style and applejack's heir color 0:00.💛


Hey Sawtooth I was wondering if Luster Dawn will be come an alicorn and and the alicorn of what


Wait a minute. So in the episode of luna in the day of nightmare moon or whatever are luna guard are bat ponys?!


If they are clones, they could have same cutie marks???


The end part realy is giving me hints on the next vid...


can I tell you something can you make a video about Princess Luna and why her hair turn different like the last time when she come out of the Moon her hair was not literally and was not that flowy it's less boring but why her hair change true glittery in flowy and make more video oftenly


But why is flash sentry of a different colour?


3:25 OH GOD! I havd NEVER picked up on that


(Static) I’m sorry?......... Wait..... Oh.... OH THIS IS A HUGE THREAT!!! GET ME (REDACTED) AND (REDACTED) ALSO (REDACTED) WE NEED TO PROTECT THAT POOL WE CAN’T LET ANY ENEMY’S GET THEIR HANDS ON IT!!!!<br>WHAT ARE YOU STILL RECORDING FOR?!?!?! END THE TRANSMISSION RI(Static)

(Static) I’m sorry?......... Wait..... Oh.... OH THIS IS A HUGE THREAT!!! GET ME (REDACTED) AND (REDACTED) ALSO (REDACTED) WE NEED TO PROTECT THAT POOL WE CAN’T LET ANY ENEMY’S GET THEIR HANDS ON IT!!!!
WHAT ARE YOU STILL RECORDING FOR?!?!?! END THE TRANSMISSION RI(Static)


The Royal Guards are the Clone Troopers and new various types of Royal Guards are Storm Troopers. Hopefully there aren't any First Order Stormtroopers, yikes.

Stormtroopers are the Storm King's soldiers


Sawtooth: Talk about theory

Me: It's lazy editing until around the finals seasons when they most likely hired more staff and then they started to animate more detailed, sorry, continue


Me seeing this video during school and not being able to watch it-- 😑

Edit: I just finished the vid and WHY DO SAWTOOTH'S THEORIES ALWAYS MAKE SO MUCH SENSE?! 🤣


Is your next video gonna be about you trying to be like pinkie and clone yourself?


I mean that or lazy artists. Well I do know  brony who has  story for his guard OC and he sys that the guards go threw a hair dye  situation  but If I follow any one's  head canon I would follow Fire Brand.


Sawtooth i think you should ask the writer maybe?


this is of topic but your really good with  remixes and techno music so if you hav'nt wet toatally check out the gypsy bard remix its really catchy


Now just why do they use it on not royal guards 🤔 <br>Legit why would they

Now just why do they use it on not royal guards 🤔
Legit why would they


Hi I love your videos and can you pls make a video of Luna because I like her so much


No Swatooth waves, this is called an animation error 🤣🤣lol


It a intresting theory but what about  Princess Luna  Batpony  guards, Chrystal  and   pony Flash Sentry  ???


Princess      cadence       mother    should    be   your   next   topic


The writers are to lazy and Don't want to make the guards unique


Or It can just be animation errors or the animators got lazy-


Oooorrrr maybe it's just the uniform and had to dye their hair? And tan their skin?


i am.. watching something i havent watched probably wont see again... but yet im intrigued..


10 more videos and you will reach 200 videos on your channel


But I don't think so because maybe the pool was brand new when pinkie found it


Maybe the creators are lazy: Control Copy Control Paste MLP


Why would they become alicorns if its just a disguise, I'm sorry but I'm still confused with this theory, btw how did apple jacks parents die?


Ok ok this might I will be the Gards r the same good next pinke pie used the mirror but it’s star world who tried it first he made the pool so he gets it and it work he telled the prissiness that go clone your gards do she did and that happend but night mare moon went to the moon after is this correct but there is only 1 ellcon there so that means star world use a Macintosh and put it in the mirror and the gard became a ellcon


please tell as next gen was coming please


Can ask you something you know Thomas and friends were crossed over with mlp how about you tell something about it


Hello and I think this is probably true I mean seriously why do they all look the same so I think ur theory true who agrees whit meh


Or Hasbro was just lazy and went
copy and past

Or Hasbro was just lazy and went
*copy and past*


Omg, I saw this video 1 or 2 min after you posted itt


YOU ARE ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SMART


IM LATE! NO!!!!!!!! oof. good theory btw.


OMG FOR ONCE IM ACTUALLY A LITTLE EARLY TO A VIDEO xd


I axillaly think your therey is true

I'm so bad at riteing 😕


As possible this theory with the Mirror Pool could be...

Let's be honest, the animators were lazy and used copy and paste


Up.  Ccccccccccfffcc.      Love this video I love you so love 💗 and I’ll love ❤ more love 💕


Love that you drew your original art style at 0:32, it made me feel all nostalgic.

Also, you forgot to mention that not just ponies are part of the Royal Guard anymore. Gallus became a guard and there was no change to him.


Wow, this was an amazing theory (and it also made a lot of sense) but I have 1 question for you (if you dont mind) I know this there is a lot of theories about it, but I would like to hear 1 from you. How do you think Apple Jacks parents died or what happened to them ? It somehow just runs in my mind and always telling me, ask Sawtooth to make a video about it, so here I am. What do you think actually happened to them ? I would like to hear your opinion ! Thanks for reading this, and see you next time, bro hoof !


Why do some ponies and most of the royal guard look the same?
Well the animators were having a hard time finding new ideas and hoped we wouldn’t notice such small details
When you look at it the royal guard do look a little neater and it does look good
Or they wanted to use their minds on more important things


Sawtooth, you do realize that the clones can copy themselves as well? It was in the episode showing that pinkies clones made more clones via the pool.


I have a request to make sawtooth! We all know the diary of the two iters right? Well there is a physical copy you can buy at bookstores. I have this book and after reading it and analizing some aspects of it i came up with some theoiries of my own, i suggest you try it out!


I've always had one "scientific" problem with the Mirror Pool.
The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed (it goes something like that.)
My point is, if Pinkie was able to make so many clones of herself, where was she getting all the matter or material to make all of those clones? I don't doubt that this law of physics would apply to the MLP universe, and even magic would be classified as matter too.
Could it be then that in order to make all of those guards, Celestia was sacrifice matter to make them? Say...other ponies perhaps? I just don't see it making sense that so many clones can be created at once, they had to have been getting materials from somewhere.
Also yes, I do think this could be applied to the Law of Equivalent Exchange from FMA.


The guards mystery is solved now, but what about the ponies which look similar, how did they looked so alike, did they knew about the mirror pool? If they knew about it then every pony in equestria will be knowing about it!


It would be so cool if one of the changelings used it and made a clone army to serve chrysalis


My alternative theory is to keep the idea of the armor disguising them to keep them uniform, but at some point during the show they dropped the policy. However, since buying all new armor for the entire guard at once would be expensive, they simply phased the armor out over time.


As soon as I saw that evil face I knew you would use it. I also loved the ending


A question that I have been trying to come up with an answer for for years now:<br>How old are Principle Celestia and Vice Principal Luna, and if they are thousands of years old, HOW?!

A question that I have been trying to come up with an answer for for years now:
How old are Principle Celestia and Vice Principal Luna, and if they are thousands of years old, HOW?!


Celestia putting two guards in the mirror pool to have dozens of other guards sounds pretty amusing actually. Wonder how their relatives would react. XD


From the other video luster dawn parents, I am pretty sure that starlight is the mother because sunburst and starlight have known each other for a long time also stars shine bright at night and that pretty much makes starlight luster dawns mother.


I think there is a problem with this theory. In the episode "The Cutie Re-mark", Applejack mentions that even with Celestia leading the fight against Sombra, the citizins of Equestria still needed to join the fight. If Celestia could just make more clones, why would she need to draft normal citizens into war?


The best answer I can come up with to why all the Royal Guards look "the same" is maybe Equestrian guard and military services have similar rules or expectations to why everyone (in the real world) who enlists into the Army, Navy, Marines, etc... must were matching uniforms and have all the hairs on their heads shaved off.  So that no one can recognize their identities as individuals.  The big difference is that because there's magic in Equestria (or the MLP universe in general) they probubly take that making all soldiers and guards look identical rule to a higher level.  And it's not just like that with pony or unreformed changelings, it like that with every creature like the yaks, the hippogriffs, and I think it was especially like that with most of the Storm King's soldiers.


1:27 it also explains why they’re so incompetent at their job considering how dumb the pinkie clons (except the escapie) were


Where did you "pool"ed this theory out from?<br>It's quite good :D

Where did you "pool"ed this theory out from?
It's quite good :D


I really like this theory it makes a ton of sense!


Going into the Mirror Pool does make them less capable. Would explain why they are so inept.


Hi! I just wanna say that I really love your videos!!! Have a great day and stay safe!!


I really like this and it makes a lot of sense but when thinking about it normally when dealing with the fictional concept of duplicating ones self a big point is trying to get rid of the clones think about Twice from My Hero Academia a big part of his backstory is that he made hundreds of copies of himself to the point where they all started turning against each other and a big part of his arc is that he doesn’t know if he’s the original or not this is actually present in too many pinkie pies they could have very well obliterated the original pinkie pie or they could have missed some (saddle row review) so the original Pegasus and unicorn probably went mad as well debating if they were actually themselves or a copy plus we don’t know how long the clones live for so the original could very well be long and gone I don’t know just some food for thought


things that english teachers, conspiracy theorists, and sawtooth waves have in common

they put meaning into things when they cant find it.


Perhaps the clones can be cloned, so the original designs for the clones wouldnt have to have the life spell


That would certainly explain all of Firebrand's pain!


Everything that comes out of Sawtooth's mouth, I believe to be the canon


Wait! Does that mean Shining Armour once looked like one of the default guards?!😂<br>Like before he was promoted to captain!!

Wait! Does that mean Shining Armour once looked like one of the default guards?!😂
Like before he was promoted to captain!!


What about selective breeding? Like certain people would be paired and get to know each other fall in love (fall in love bc Equestria). Then the strongest genes of those parent would make the guards.


Maybe the Guards are carved from stone or something, If you can literally turn creatures into stone, Would it be too outlandish to think that there was a spell capable turning stone to living things, I mean chrysalis did the whole fake mane six thing out of wood I do believe if memory serves.

And the irregularities would be just some craftsman errors or pranks when whoever becomes the next ''Royal Soldier Animator'' title holder, And Celestia was like, Ehh good enough.

And I guess, If nothing else, Discord Could also be a very lazy response, I mean it really wouldn't be impossible for him to alter scenes of the show, as he does break the 4th wall anyway, But using Discord would be the same as saying, Oh its a dream, anything can happen in a dream. But its still a possibility, And considering how he's pretty much always on the know of things, him having proxies placed around Equestria as fancy cameras really wouldn't be unthinkable either.

But the truth is just lazy animators.


2:48 Clones can clown themselves tho, it was literally shown in Pinkie Clone episode, aka they could take clone, order them to clone themselves


It could be just an animation trick to create an army of identical ponies at the same time, as they also do this for the crowd shots. But that's just my take. Though I definitely like the concept of using the mirror pool to create the cloned equine army, as it does provide an in-universe explanation for why the guards in Equestria all pretty much look alike.


I have a theory that why scotoolo can't fly ( prob spelled her name wrong)

As you saw (tooth lol) in the ep "the last problem we saw the cutie mark crusades all grown up but her wings where still small and in the ep " The last crusade " We saw her parents and did you realize that her dad is a earth pony I mean her mom is a Pegasus and her dad is a earth pony it makes sense in my case on why she can't fly

BTW great video hope you find my theory useful


Well used (besides pinkie) the royal guards and some of the background ponies it's seen in the canterlot wedding part 2 and on other episodes too


Whoa, this week we have syannax and farefallen disappoint sawtooth even further, but it appears that yoshidarklord has disappeared?
Will he be back next time, or has he gone MIA? Will we ever have our questions answered or our answers questioned?

Find out next time, on Dragonball Pony


finally an explanation of the royal guards


Can you please make a possible theory of how we could see nightmare moon on the sandclock when twilight was reading the prophesy of mare in the moon in season 1 episode 1


I have a theory about the magic mirror: what if Starswirl created the multiple portals to the human au. Think about it, He was the only PONY( not creature like discord since the magic mirror is a pony artifact) to ever Make portals to other dimensions. Maybe he created it so he could watch over the sirens, what if they do something to the other world they were banished to, I mean it can’t be a coincidence that the mirror could sent anyone to the human au which so happens to be the au where the sirens were sent to hundreds of years ago. I unfortunately don’t have enough proof but maybe if you do enough digging in the episodes you’ll find something that proves it 😉


I think they just didn't wanna make so many new designs early on in the show.


How about digging out the 7th element theory. It's quite an old theory.<br>And how either Spike, Sunset and Starlight its possible bearers?

How about digging out the 7th element theory. It's quite an old theory.
And how either Spike, Sunset and Starlight its possible bearers?


Guards are pointless
Why would you waste hours sitting in the corner rethinking existence?
Because you're epic
And epic analysts do that


Hey what about Flash Sentry? I'm mean when we first saw him, he stuck out of the group like a sore thumb.


In My MLP AU Story "The Six Knights of The Night," The Royal Guards are their own Ponies, and some of them were originally Homeless. Some live in Celestia and Luna's Castle for Free, as long as they work too protect Equestria and The Princesses (Taking Inspiration from Regular Show on working at The Park.)

Also, everyone in The Royal Guard no matter which Princess your working for has a Beaked Helmet like in Season 5's Finale with Nightmare Moon's Guards. A Beaked Helmet can actually protect their Faces from damage, and their actual Helmets from The Series shows their Face, completely vulnerable to attack.

And Finally, My AU Story would explain why The Guards aren't very good at their jobs, whenever I get to Act 3 of My Story.


take this: i have an answer to 2 old problems, the debunk of a theory, and two intresting questions.
so you never found a good answer to why daring do and rainbow look alike, and your answer for twilight and eyebrows wasnt all encompassing. but what if just like a ponys magic is connected to their colors, a ponies personality is reflected in their apperance?
your theory on what creates alicorns(i resent it because im super attached to alicorns being of something to destiny based or anything but random) you corralated every alicorn to a source. well, for flurry heart you said it was because genetics, but what about the baby cakes? they have all three tyes of ancesters. so they didnt end up alicorns, but if thats not common then the earth is flat and the illuminati is running everything. so how come flurry heart is the first one to be born an alicorn? and it wuld certainly have been reported if there had been an alicorn baby. debunked.
so youre thing about cobalt and king sombra... very logical, and also when u make fanfiction style stuff its so intresting. but anyway, so whathappened topuddinghead and hurricane? esspecally pudding head,look at the way she treated smart cookie, she would have absolutly tried something crazy. comander hurricane problyjust becae a general or something, buthe might have been involved in sombras defeat, and with the show over you dont have new info to make videos about.


this idea might not make any sense but what if the guards were all illusions? sawtooth has even stated that the guards don't really protect celestia very well. my second thought is that because two ponies entered the mirror pool, their features got mixed as one of them was a unicorn and the other, a pegasus. My last idea was that they were wearing costumes, in one of the episodes in the crystal empire, pinkie pie has a costume of fluttershy on, and they looked identical!


What if chrysalis used it to duplicate unreformed changelings


If this was the case why was shining armor an exception?


FireBrand is all about the Royal Guards & why are they so poor at there jobs. I hope he watched this awesome video. Keep up the good work SawTooth. Have a wonderful day dude.


I think the guards are their to intimidate anyone that wants to invade or kidnap the princess


They are magical copies after all, who says that they actually age? Maybe thosy copies just dont suffer from aging at all.
And the alicorns might just be som kind of "glitch" in the clones DNA. This might also explain why there are non-uniform guards:
perhaps some of the clones just disappeared because the mirror pools magic wasn't strong enough anymore, and Celestia decided to bring in other guards to solve that problem.

Anyways, great video! Looking forward to friday after next!
(btw, is that a reference to https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0293815/ ?)


Well i was actually puzzled about this , and boy is ur theory a canon ! I also think Celestia had done the process and in the present time she could make some new ponies to join the royal army <br>Request ~ can u pls continue this background , its awesome😍😍😍😎😎😎

Hasbro: Too lazy and makes copies
Sawtooth Waves: I'll make a whole 6:06 mins video about a theory


I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND I LOVE WATCHING ALL YOUR GUESSES AT MLP


Never even noticed that about the royal guard. Nice catch.


I thought it was because the animators weren't in the mood to design so many ponies


Also explains why they’re useless. Storm troopers always are


I am in complete agreement with you it makes perfect sense


This theory is a bit more of a stretch but it still makes sense


you should react to maggiepie pony pmv cadences backstory it may help with the question about cadence and might explain her backstory


No I highly doubt it I think they just use the same  character cuz they could be run out of character ideas there's no magic behind it I love your videos but you're wrong here


I think changelings are from the pool of mirrors


The changelings.
They have over 2K!!!!
They used the mirror pool!


The the channelings may of to a big army quickly any villain would maybe that's how thorax came to be a nice clone


since the show has ended dose this mean no more MLP  theories or more?


They look the same because of the magic of ctrl+C, Crtv+V


I think all the royal guard look alike because Princess Celestia might have wanted a whole army in a difficult situation or when she was about to rule and needed to be guarded so Celestia found 2 worthy ponies that would do good to go and clone themselves and if new ones were able to join I don’t think there would be a disguise spell because there is no evidence of a disguise spell (or is there)

@Olle Selin others might say though that the animators was just lazy you know XD

@Anime_fan674 did the Storm King the same with his troopers?


the mirror pool? just say Celestia did a trip to Kamino and let it like this XD


What about galus joining the royal guards in the last episode?


Sawtooth: THEY ARE CLONES <br>Me: They probably just do that because they don’t want to make thousands of extras

Sawtooth: THEY ARE CLONES
Me: They probably just do that because they don’t want to make thousands of extras


What about the new characters of Equestria Girls? If the portal is supposed to lead to a humanized version of MLP, where are the Equestrian versions of characters like Cinch, Microchips, Gloriosa, Timber, and the Shadow Colts?


I mean, military takes uniform quite seriously, it would make sense


Conspiracy time celestia and luna aren't immortal they have been clones this entire time


Mlp: makes animation errors
Sawtooth waves: it's free real estate

Mlp: *makes animation errors*
Sawtooth waves: *it's free real estate*


Hey sowtooth i have nice theory about whos walking in dream and how discord was created so if you are intrested in it please tell me and i can tell you about it on discord or anythong beacouse its pretty long :)


Here's something I don't understand the changelings look different only when they accept love before that you can't tell the difference between a mayor and a cult so to speak meaning did Chrysalis just use the changing pool for all her changelings and the only one or ones that are actually her children is thorax and his brother


Me: Watching an awesome vid about a girl in a new school.
An notification comes that Sawtooth has uploaded a vid
Me: The first vid can wait

Now this really  dose make since could u post more I love your videos so much


1. Do they even have Cutie Marks?

2. If they don't, then how do they know what they are destined to do/be?


Sawtooth Waves in your How long is 100 moons video. You said Equestria is not Earth, but I was re watching Hearth's Warming Eve which is season 2 episode 11. I noticed that Chancellor Pudding aka Pinkie Pie said "The Earth is round there is no up or down." This happened when Chancellor Pudding was reading the map upside down at the time marked 11:51 in the episode. So I guess the fact that you said Equestria is not Earth is false. You can watch it yourself on Netflix.


Wait, did the female guards have to disguise as males?


Animators we're lazy
Your theory sound good
But:
1.If the mirror pool was the origin of all the royal guard how come Twilight doesn't know about it.Twilight know almost everything and remember Pinkie Pie knew about it.

2.How is Shining Amour(Twilight's brother) he was born normally, and he was originally in the royal guard before becoming something like a commander.I bet just like the Wonderbolts had to first go to school to train to become apart of the royal guard.
3.Look at the colour scheme of Shining Amour he is white with a blue mane and tail, when Twilight saw him again after all those years.She was not confused about why he looked like a different colour scheme.Why? because that is how he was born.Even though both of their parents don't look anything like Twilight or Shining Amour.
Here is my theory on why they look like how they look:
When you think about it or no matter how you break it down it all leads to one thing and that is Destiny.For example Shining Amour it was his destiny to lead the Royal Guard so he was born according to what would make him fit in.I think that all the same goes for every member of the royal guard and because it was there destiny there colour made them look like what all the guards are suppose to look like.


Okay. SOmeone tell Commander Firebrand about this theory and see if he tries to test it on them!


“Leave your thoughts in the comments!”

i think you don’t post enough and that you should acknowledge that there will be a mlp g6 this year that won’t take place in equestria nor have any of the main 6.

“Leave your thoughts in the comments!”

*i think you don’t post enough and that you should acknowledge that there will be a mlp g6 this year that won’t take place in equestria nor have any of the main 6.*


Ok maybe but let’s say that the pony’s that are duplicated are changelings trying to blend in so they can get info on equestria and how there doing witch is why we see them in random places. It makes sense right?


How do you do it, Sawtooth? How <b>do</b> you do it?

How do you do it, Sawtooth? How *do* you do it?


All of your videos, everytime the video ends, I will always sing the song.

5:51  I don't kno-...wait...what happened to the song?...


Ooooo... Interesting.<br>Getting a Star wars vibe here, oh wait. You all really referenced that. 😅
