Discord is literally God he could have destroyed the elements and removed luna and celestias magic and nothing could stop him... but the friendship is magic... well discord is God he can destroy the tree and let tirek loose and make tirek take there magic but tirek could fight back but what would discord do... either discord knows he could do this but doesn't want to can't or was gonna do that but don't get on the bad side of discord...

There is already a book about the villains 🦹♀ origins sombra, chrisalas, nightmare moon 🌙

They did it in the comics... but that's one of those things that like with all good faery tales, be careful what you wish for.

I was sorely disappointed with the queen of the changelings', fet the whole changeling race's origins...
Comics seem to take the "Stuff in a magic bucket with magical properties makes magical things accidently magical magic into existence." Approach...

There are some comics called Fiendship is Magic where thats explained. Im not sure if theyre completely canon, but they sure are interesting; the one Ive read is Chrysalis', but not the others.

I feel like Going to seed and Trivia Pursuit should have been scrapped. An Hasbro should have made a 2 parter episode explaining each villian back story.

@Penguinpoodle It's called my litte pony fiendship is magic. It covers back stories for the sirens, sombra, tirek, nightmare moon and more

Yes big movie on the topic of equestrian history

@Kazuya Kami  There was that fan animation about the idea the Sombra we know killed the good Sombra and stole his body.  Evil being in a book that Sombra was looking up to bring his parents back I think.  The actual origins for Sombra from the comics though have him at some point born outside the Empire.  He was a Shadow Pony called an Umbrum and his mother, from a red crystal had him changed into a pony and left to be found so he would eventually be manipulated by her to destroy the Empire and free his kind so they could take over.  He eventually succeeds 1000 years later after round 2 but realizes he was used after his marefriend revealed everything and he pretty much sacrificed himself to undo everything he did only to be saved and pardon by all 4 princesses at the time,(Flurry wasn't even born yet or an idea as far as we know. Heck Starlight hadn't even appeared yet.)

@Cinnamon Drops i haven't seen that one yet or even heard about it until now but the comic is a good start . A whole special episode or movie would be much more epic though lol

I love this but wasn't there a theory about a book he was reading and he turned evil? And wasn't Sombra born  in the crystal empire?

I so agree if the my little pony franchise wants more money they should totally do this

its probably too dark for the kiddie tho idk lol😂

That sounds so awesome id love to see that

Idk the story was originally supposed to be more slice of life with the villians as performance pieces for the start and end of the season respectively. Episodes hyper focused on specific character lore especially performance characters like villians really don't fit the shows intended themes.

Yeah something kinda similar to six but ponies

That would be great, but the writers couldn’t pull it off. 😅

They kinda did idw comics made a 5 issues. Fiendship is magic each issue told the origins of chrysalis, tirek, nightmare moon, the dazzlings (though in season 7 and in the legends of magic idw comics changed the sirens origins) and king sombra

YES! That would be the greatest episode/ episodes of all time! I want to know what happened to Crystals too.

LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lmao the "FRIIEEEENNDDSS!!!! " always comes at the worst moment

hey do u know in which season they told of the origin of the three tibes uniting?


They need to make a movie about this. They’re missin out on a lot of money because our pony community is so big we would all want to see that

The community isn't big anymore and a movie based on a G4 villan wouldn't do well compared to G5 but yeah that would be great. Backstories on all the villans would be cool. There's much more they could have done with G4.

And there's STILL plenty of us that are NEW to the fandom. Even to this day. Like me.

The mlp gen 4 has literally so much potential but instead they rushed the ending and downgraded the characters' magical capabilities.

Exactly. Instead they still fiercely try to cater to children


When you realize Sombra doesn't have a Cutie Mark 😆😆😆

@Taylor Norsey She got the role of king Sombra's daughter, and that ep was a play

Yeah it’s like this guy doesn’t have talent 😂😂😂 lol

@Taylor Norsey bro she just played princess platinum in the play
also she’s not a pony she’s a unicorn

@Taylor Norsey bro she just *played* princess platinum in the play
also she’s not a pony she’s a unicorn

Because he's umbra.Umbra's doesn't have cutie marks

oh aperently misty isn't the 1st pony to no have a cutie mark

@Scarlette Foxx Gasp I never thought of it like that👍

@Fantasy-Artist good point. I think perhaps it also could have been sucked into the amulet too, leaving him with only one type of magic left- the shadow magic.
Perhaps that was the true death of king cobalt and the birth of king sombra. He's always felt like he was less than a true satient and thought driven pony, more instinctual, like a ghost in a shell.
"Cryyyyysssstaaalls" amirite?
He would have become more shadow than pony if that was what had happened, and it kind of makes sense.

Think we've found a new member of the CMC ;)

@Taylor Norsey no, it was a play and the princess was played bye rarity

Since no one seems to do it before

B l a n k
F l a n k

@Rowel Secuya no one's gonna judge her since they'll join XDDDDDDDDDDDD

@Fantasy-Artist yeah when star swirl banished king Sombra and stuff and destroyed his wings maybe it also erased his cutie mark

wait he doesn't have a cutie mark (I haven't watched it for 3 years)

@Le poss What did the comics determine he is then?

When the princess gave up their magic, their marks disappeared as well

WAIT A MINUTEE!!!!! You're right!!! I never realized that! WHAAAATTT!!!???

really now i am soo curiouse about him and his cutie mark

“ (the fashion pony from the mane six)” if you know enough to call them the mane six you should know that on this channel you never need to add that or even call her the fashion pony, I would say the other unicorn lol

@Taylor Norsey they're recreating what happened its rarity dressed up as princess platinum

It's because Sombra isn't even a pony, the comics covered this.

@Whimsical *previously Cloveriie* weird isn't it?

@Whimsical *previously Cloveriie* ah yes yes I know, I just suddenly forgot how to write his name correctly

i think it because this old wizard took his magic away and put it in his amulet

@glazer valoria I don’t think you get it, a cutie mark’s purpose is to tell you your destiny. Sombra has no cutie mark, so that means he technically doesn’t have a destiny- and in a way, a future.

I guess diamond tiara has someone new to tease and call blank flank

@Taylor Norsey no there was an episode with rarity and sweetie belles parents

@Taylor Norsey No he is talking about Princess Platinum not Rarity

is Rarity (the fashion pony from the mane six) king Sombra's daughter!?!?!?!?! <b>WHAT IN THE HEY?!?!?!?!?!?!?</b>

is Rarity (the fashion pony from the mane six) king Sombra's daughter!?!?!?!?! *WHAT IN THE HEY?!?!?!?!?!?!?*

I think some point when he was studying dark magic he either unintentionally or intentionally erased his cutie mark


I think I know why he always has a cape! Except him being a king and all that... he doesn’t have a cutie mark and he’s ashamed so he wants to hide it!

@solitary jewel You're right, he doesn't have a cutiemark bc he's not a pony but an umbrum with pony appearance<br> He was a umbrum when younger but when the other umbrums "turned" him into a filly he forgot everything and basically lived as an orphan in the crystal empire thinking he was a pony until he realized what he was aaand, well the story is too long for a single comment lol but everything is in the comics, they sadly didn't include everything in the show! Sombra is a very cool character with a interesting history :)

I thought he didn't have a cutie mark because Star Swirl took away his magic, like when Celestia, Luna and Cadence gave their magic to Twilight so Tirek couldn't steal it, their cutie marks disappeared.

Maybe his cutie mark faded away after getting his magic taken away from him?

I have a theory that, when Sombra cast the spell to make him an alicorn, it removed his cutie mark. The spell blackened his soul and his entire destiny changed, leaving him cutie mark-less.

I never said it was a good theory...

Xl yang I’ll come with you :^   I will also make fun of his weird horn that’s half black half red lol

i like the idea that sombra is perhaps not even a pony at all! and we know only ponies can get cutiemarks so it makes a lot of sense


I can't stop thinking about how much of an underused villain Sombra is...

@eKarly But nothing about him was ever explained or hinted at tho

He was used twice, like all the other villains. (Except nightmare moon)

@Eagletdagriffin Many feel that is too little, too late.

@Erango The Wise atleast theres something about zecora's home in season 10 (comic lol)

@Izabella YT TV they didn’t have enough times also they made it to seam that sombra wouldn’t come back when he would

Ik, he was only in like two two part episodes and died at the end both times

everyone is helpful in rupees makeup video

everyone is helpful in rupees makeup video

that but no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no started ruling evily

I agree, he is one of the most powerful villains. Even in the beginning of the end  episode sombra was on there for 1 scene, isn't he also one of the unreformed villains? And he was always my favourite

Yet he's so loved by mlp fans that I really don't get it how Hasbro still underused him in season 9 first episodes.

They should do much better things with him.

@DjGremlin <br>Add that to the comic version and the disappointment can only rise.

@DjGremlin
Add that to the comic version and the disappointment can only rise.

My friends have better idea about Sombra. King Sombra and Princess Cadence rules of Crystal Empire but one day Sombra is corrupted by dark magic and this dark magic makes him hate Cadence. He wants to destroy her. Destroy, not kill. He wants her to watch how he destroys her ponies life and he creates a nightmares in crystal ponies dreams.

exactly, like Queen Crysallis has nothing on Sombra

He was misused, rather than underused. Season 3 Sombra is like, in top three best MLP villains. Season 9 Sombra is... like in top three worst. :-/

He showed up twice, the first time he was a deep-voiced Asshole who just shouted about crystals.<br>The second time he acted like a bratty 8-year-old to all other villains and got his face melted off.

Then again, they did remove that neat affect from chrysalis's voice from her debut in season 2 so idk what I was expecting

@songdrop _ I'm curious, got a url for where I can find that?

@Izabella YT TV I just wish they respected his character more, and recasted his original voice actor too, I didn't like the new one, he was much less menacing than the first voice actor

definitely, that's why I made him the main focus in my own mlp au

I can’t stop thinking about how he sounded like a wannabe Elvis in his second appearance, very disappointed

@Alexander-Laurens Metcalf Yeah that's my point. They shouldn't have killed him off after like two appearances! Wtf!

Well he did serve his use in the story and was then shattered so

Mlp underused so many things. Species that only had one episode like Diamond dogs, Buffalo, kirins, etc. We only got to see ONE zebra. And I think giraffes should have had a culture of their own...

Yep so much wasted potential, at least he got a second chance in the s9 premier


I feel like solving these things for you is like a math problem-


How come Sombra got vaporized three times and came back at least two of three times? Perhaps this leaves room for him to continue randomly popping up in times of tragedy


Sawtooth:"long ago he took over the crystal empire"

Me: thats why there no king or prince in My Little Pony

@KOAY SZE YAO Moe first i like profile pic second sorry my friend list is full


Sombra's past is actually pretty sad. His legacy was the royal family of Unicorns, respected, loved. Just 2 Alicorns took it away...


The two Best parts of the whole video in my opinion
“Well till A chaos god warping as a dead goat brought him back so he Could troll his friends but you get the picture!”
“ I am sawtooth waves signing off until Friday after next bro-“
“sawtooth!”
“Excuse me”
“Right king sawtooth”
“That’s better now what is it this time Braeburn”
“You darn Eaten all of our apples, this here is the last one I’ll give it to you if you take off your amulet”
“Ugh whatever just give me the Apple”

The worst thing that can happen:         Well till a god warping as a dead * one second add *.    Goat brought back to troll his friends.        Me if it would have happened:    Dead add goat or just dead goat I’m confused


Sawtooth: "And that was the end, of king Sombra..."<br>Me: *almost crying*"That was deep."

Sawtooth: "And that was the end, of king Sombra..."
Me: *almost crying*"That was deep."

Sawtooth: and that was end of king sombra<br>me: YAY NO MORE KING SOMBRA LETS CELEBRATE

Sawtooth: and that was end of king sombra
me: YAY NO MORE KING SOMBRA LETS CELEBRATE


I was confused when I first saw him in the Crystal empire episode. No lines, no small details, it was almost like he was just a part of the smoke. It was pretty confusing but thanks Sawtooth


What's kinda dumb is that they changed discord. But they had to kill king sombra. That's messed up. XD


I feel like they had so much missed potential with sombra...

I really wanted more about him it was basically "Oh hey look an evil male unicorn let's zap it with colorful magic 3 times" that's it.

If rather have the graphic novel stories about him than tripe of the new series (also wouldn't hurt my eyes as much).

@Komitarz Frikin yeah<br>He had a character arc yall, and it was a cool one

@Komitarz Frikin yeah
He had a character arc yall, and it was a cool one

I agree with you, he is a complete mystery

He looks so cool and so are his powers, but in the show he's kind of a big doofus

They could do much better things with him.

@Lini D but it's something. At least it's official.

but there's the comics 😐 He has backstory

Saaame! I still cry because of all of his WASTED potential to be the best antagonist 😭😭😭

Yeah he could have been a prince instead of just princess

In my opinion, they should've dived deeper into his origin and see what corrupted him, making the viewers attached to him, the design of king sombra is great, but, i think, as the king of shadows, they should've made his design more nightmare fuel to not only strike terror into the ponies hearts but ours too, and like someone has said already in this comment, make him more badass... now thats, the GREATEST villain equestria will ever have, but sombra also needs his redemption arc and to be reformed

IKR he was feared so much in the show but got defeated immediately- <br>It’s been like 3 years since I watched the show so i might be wrong

@Chanakya Verpula that show is recently sized how long were you reading my comment?!😂😂

@Cupcake Prime I can just start to hear the whole soundtrack of avatar while reading this comment

@Chanakya Verpula  yeah! And great reference  by the way zuko is my favorite character in ATLA

@Cupcake Prime yeah  . If the story of the comics that i told happened after mlp then sombra would have a good arc and be reformed at the same time without worrying about him being released. <br>His character arc would be like zuko in avatar the last Airbender

@Cupcake Prime yeah  . If the story of the comics that i told happened after mlp then sombra would have a good arc and be reformed at the same time without worrying about him being released.
His character arc would be like zuko in avatar the last Airbender

@Chanakya Verpula yeah! It would and more depth to his character. I personally think that an event as huge as a king turning into a ailcorn and going evil, would be at least mentioned, even if it was just a random quote. So this is just coming out of left field

it would make sense if  the comics " origins " [ Sombra version ] " siege of the crystal empire " happened in between mlp and twilight in the last episode

it makes wayyyyyy more sense than this

I mean, in the comics he really was badass


I love how this guy never discounts anything.<br>Even when he says that the shadow form is not a special race, he says that it is still possible, but we just have no evidence.

You did a great job for the opening of this video! Loved it.


Let's just take a moment to appreciate this youtuber who helps us with my little pony 👁👄👁💅

I love how your theories become stories and actually make a lot of sense. Imma make it my canon until mlp disproves or proves it lol


They needs to be my teacher, like I watch him while in school he's more interesting tbh No offense Teachers


This was incredible! I couldn’t agree more, this is very likely to have actually been intended to be the plot. I never would have thought of this. Good job :)👍🏻


The fact about sombra being dead is false. The crystal heart might have used its power to banish him once more. We did see sombra, tirek and queen chrysalis. So sombra couldnt have possibly gone in season 3, He went in season 9 posssibly. Or the mane 6 may have faced them again between the time period of twilights cornation. The entire series is so confusing among these theories.


King Sombra could of been an amazing villain and was underused, I want more about it and like how in the comics they had him. He is my all time favorite pony and I love him.


I think it's "A Tale of One Shadow", it also fits so perfectly. But I also agree with your theory!


That would explain why Sombra is always seen in a cape because he is covering his scars from when he lost his wings.

@「  • 🍁 Fumiko... 🍁 • 」 Maybe there was, we just can't see it because of her curly hair

@~lizzie~ bruh ik ch isn’t her name just abriviations

@「  • 🍁 Fumiko... 🍁 • 」 ya thats because she was actually a pegasus so she just turned back into what she was before afyer she got defeated btw her name is cozy glow not cg

What. If he’s hiding his wings for horn power more

@TheOnlySafa season nine still hasnt come out and i am writung this in january 1 2021 just sayin do that youvdint get confused

Okey now i have a very weak explanition of Sombra's cutiemark. As we know there are types of Magic. Unicorn magic, pegasus magic, earth pony magic and... In the show a cutie mark is a mysterious simbol that can even tell the destiny of some pony. In my head canon the cutie marks are magic that are stongly related with some pony talent.

Maybe Starwirl not only toke Sombra's pegasus and earth pony magic. Also toke away his cutiemark.

It can be, when in the show Starlight stole Twillight cutiemark she can continue use magic in a lower level.That will explain why the alicorn amulet give knolege of powerfull spells and a great hability to Magic, because there is Sombra's cutiemark.

Sombra is an umbrum.i dont think he will ever get a cutie mark.

Well when CG lost her horn there was no scar

@TheOnlySafa No! Now i get nothing again...also did everyone have seen Star Swirl's cutie mark?

@I like rice pudding well sombra has magic

if you watch season 9 when sombra destroy's the  tree of harmony his cape blows and no scars so yeah sombra is powerful he can''t get hurt by those ponies or creatures

@TheOnlySafa Taken out the comics I get an explanition of why sombra doesn t have a cutie mark. When the princess give their magic to Twillight their cutie marks dessapear

no king sombra dosent have scars he wearing a cape but he doesnt have cutie mark

I will love Twillight reaction when she final saw his scars.


Pft, I just rambled on the other Sombra video about his potential backstory and was slapped in the face with how well this one brought it all together 🤣 By the way, your music is phenomenal!


my man, you deserve to be a writer for the mlp comics or future mlp content in general


But what about the comic? The one about his backstory? Doesn't it say he's an umbrum and explain exactly why he is the way he is? And there are unicorn and Pegasus crystal ponies, radiant hope and princess amore were both unicorns

@♡Cinnamon♡ no worries! a lot of people haven't, I myself haven't I just know of it lol.

@Jasper Sorry I thought you misspelled Cadences name! I haven’t read the comment so I apologise

@♡Cinnamon♡ princess amore, not cadence. Princess amore only appeared in the comics, and she was only a unicorn, never an alicorn. she lived long ago back when umbra made his very first appearance

Ayo wasn't Cadence a Pegasus? Also she isn't a crystal pony. She doesn't have weird shaped eyes

Afaik the comics are not intended to be canon to the show. They're it's own thing.


Ok, when i imagine somba's voice, its never his canon one, its always the one from 'The fall of the crystal empire.' It's way darker and sounds exactly how i picture him. ( great vid btw, go check it out.)

The series voice just really doesn't fit him 😂

Sombra: Invades the Crystal Empire<br>Me: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HELP!!!!!!!!!

Sombra: Invades the Crystal Empire
Me: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HELP!!!!!!!!!

Same. The one in the series doesn’t fit at all


This doesnt match the thing u said in that one vid titled "THE TRUTH ABOUT STAR SWIRL" where u said he invented alicorns and experimented on Celestia and Luna.


I also think based on the time period you placed King Cobalt in it could be possible that Cobalt’s father is Starswirl. Sombra looks like he could’ve been a black or gray pony which matches starswirl . Starswirl is clearly old enough to probably be around his late 80s (I’m assuming), therefore Cobalt was born around the time Starswirl was in his Middle Ages, or around his early 30s. It also makes sense magically. Sombra(Cobalt) and Starswirl both have about the same magical ability.Starswirl can trap people in limbo, and Sombra can make entire nations disappear. Just saying, that would make a great plot twist, and it has evidence to support it, so maybe you could do a theory on that.


i want sombra to make a return in the new series. he would fit so well into the new plot


The story might be true but Sombra returned in "The beginning of the end".


“Well till a chaos god brought him back so he could troll his friends”this is the best part of the video change my mind

I wanna just skip the video to that part and after that line just say “that’s the end of the video” it’s the true best part

Why hello there

Do I spot another Omnisexual friend?

"I'll give it to yaif you take off the amulet."

"Uhg whatever just give me the apple!"


This all fits well, though there's one thing I notice - when Trixie put on the amulet she gained the magic that was in it, but she stayed a unicorn. If your theoru on how ponies become alicorns is true, then shouldn't any pony become one upon wearing the amulet if all 3 kinds of pony magic are in it, and revert back to their base form upon taking it off?

YES I WAS LOOKING FOR A COMENT LIKE THIS THANK YOU


Now I got curious. Could he be redeemed?If yes how?<br>Sombra is my favorite MLP villain. I'm very curious

Now I got curious. Could he be redeemed?If yes how?
Sombra is my favorite MLP villain. I'm very curious

He can't be redeemed. In the Siege arc of the comics, he is redeemed but that's not canon.


8:46 was my favorite part it made me laugh


i love how Sawtooth just wants to eat apples so much in the ending its hilarious XD


I can only imagine princess Platinum being like:<br>Dad can you stop trying to be a ruler?! I want to go out with my friends!

I can only imagine princess Platinum being like:
Dad can you stop trying to be a ruler?! I want to go out with my friends!

What a silly thing you have send in the comments

@Hiccy69 well he only would have to change the name :-:

Wait,idea hatching...the founders of equestria were the mane 6 before the mane 6,but after the pillars were on limbo

I just read the wiki about the founders of Equestria, and it was said that Princess Platinum's father was not Sombra, but a unicorn named King Bullion. I don't know if this canon or not since its very anonimous in the series. But if it was  canon, than Sawtooth's theory about Sombra needs to be updated.

@Cosmicicle komunista speeches really well that sounds fancy

"Father can you just please just take a break from the komunista speeches? I'm going to face-time my friends and I need quietness."

“Can you stop being a dictator for one hour? I agreed to meet my friends at the mall!”


This actually makes some sense. It explains how powerful he is for sure, and just how ancient of a villain he is


Nicely done! I really like this theory, although sadly it's debunked by Journal of the Two Sisters since the king is actually called King Bullion and he is Princess Platinum's father. That is, if you consider the spin-off books and comics canon I suppose.


I never even knew that Sombra was a alicorn 😂 But this makes pretty much sense


This whole theory sounds good and all but I feel there’s one thing that might of been forgotten or not considered. The Princes Sisters had parents that supposedly ruled before they were given the throne. So maybe just switch out the part where instead of the sisters popping out and one day raising the sun & moon. I think it was their parents who originally were the first ones destined to raise sun/moon and take over Equestria @SawTooth Waves


In "the Journal of the Two Sisters", the king's name is "Bullion". He was apparentally understanding and knew that the princesses represented Equestria as a whole. He still ruled over the region of Unicorns he ruled originally.

@SuspiciouslySollux The Journal is not canon anymore since s7 finale.  In the Journal, it was written that Starswirl was still around when Celestia and Luna found the Tree and crowned Princesses, but s7 finale established that Starswirl and the Pillars disappeared into Limbo before the Tree of Harmony grew.<br>I don't know why people keep clinging to the Journal as canon.

@€LOLBIT¥ did event horizon say I’m sorry what was that in a collab with sawtooth?

That book also said that Celestia and Luna were born alicorns

@€LOLBIT¥ I just flipped through my copy, where does it say that?

The journal of the two sisters is not canon because it in the book it says that star swirl equals Sombra and IM SORRY WHAT WAS THAT? <b>insert star swirl getting puffed back</b>

The journal of the two sisters is not canon because it in the book it says that star swirl equals Sombra and IM SORRY WHAT WAS THAT? *insert star swirl getting puffed back*

@Tudor Aragorn of Greyscot true. After all, both Stygian and Luna stumbled across a fragment of darkness that corrupted them into Nightmare Moon and The Pony of Shadows, whose to say Bullion didn't have a similar encounter... though sadly did not get freedom like the other two

@SuspiciouslySollux Correct. Maybe we can pull some syncretism and combine this Theory Video and the Journal.

@xPearl_Heartx isn’t the journal of the two sisters the “only” cannon book?


this channel is underrated and i wish he did post weekly again if he was able too


To this day, I still think that the IDW Comics timeline (aka the "rumors") would have been better for Sombra.  However, in a canon where we are given no reason to sympathize with him, I don't see why this theory wouldn't be plausible.  If he's not gonna get reformed or given much of a chance in the story, why even give him a backstory in the canon?  Or at least, a backstory that pits him in a better light?  In the show's main universe, this is likely the answer, and we will probably get no more G4 media that may disprove it.


Amazing content! But that intro really gave me the chills! And I LUV it


story telling arc beautiful! if this was a book i whould whant to read it over and over agian


In the (canon) "Journal of the two sisters", it's said that the name of the king of the unicorns is "King Bullion". It's also noted that Celestia and Luna were alicorns before they became princesses.

The book is helpful. We don't know how or why they became alicorns, just that it was before they took on sun/moon tasks, and that they were alicorns before they got their cutie marks.

@Konan😶 Yeah, they mean that an alicorn has never been born in Equestria. Because the sisters aren't from Equestria. They're from a colony of alicorns, according to the journal. They weren't born in Equestria, hence why they'd say that.

@ArumiDespaire Asahina  but do you remember celestia in  “the crystaling” she said “a birth of an alicorn is something equestria has never seen” meaning they should have accomplished something before they became princesses (correct me if I’m wrong)

@Subash Christopher And this is why I believe in Sawtooth Waves' immediately preceding alicorn theory as outlined in their <i>Finally Solving Alicorns</i> video.

@Subash Christopher And this is why I believe in Sawtooth Waves' immediately preceding alicorn theory as outlined in their _Finally Solving Alicorns_ video.

@ArumiDespaire Asahina If that were the measure of canon, everything starting from the S2 finale would be non-canon - including most of the best episodes of the series. Either way, it's not the official canon anymore. You can treat it like a Legends canon the way Star Wars does it, I guess, though it's hardly as substantial in this case.

but if that was true then why are  all the allicorns  princcesses????? there  could be allicorns in a village but with less power and the princcesses could be more powerfuller    right????

@Silver Scroll Lauren Faust literally said they were natural, and even if she isn't working on the show anymore, what she says is true. It doesn't matter if the other people who were working on the show got rid of what she wanted- she was the creator, and no one else has the right to take her show away from her.

@ArumiDespaire Asahina How can it be canon when the show contradicts it at multiple points? I'm sorry, but that's a baseless assertion on your part. I've already explained why. However, I fear discussing this with you may be as pointless as discussing the bible with Christians.

I think one of Sawtooth’s theories says that they were originally just going to replace the 6 wizards to raise the sun and moon which earned them the ponies’ love and that combined them into Alicorns. So that could be what it meant, they turned into alicorns and then they were made princesses

@ArumiDespaire Asahina it’s still a theory for me honestly (celestial and Luna one) but there is one theory which explains why flurry is an alicorn.
(The theory is not mine at all, I saw someone comment it and it’s pretty solid.)

The theory is that Flurry heart is a genetic chimera. As in, Cadance had twins in the beginning (one a unicorn from shining armor’s genes and a Pegasus from Candance’s as she was originally a Pegasus) but during the third trimester or something, one twin absorbed the other and they merged together resulting in Flurry Heart being a alicorn as she absorbed her twin’s wings/horn. The twins being different (Pegasus and unicorn) are supported by Pinkie Pie’s neighbors/employers (?) children she babysat who had unicorn and pegasus genes in their family tree.

@Silver Scroll The journal is canon. Therefore Celestia and Luna were natural alicorns.

@You_know _me Flurry shouldn't <b>be</b> an alicorn, as Cadence was a pegasus before becoming one. Flurry should either be a pegasus or a unicorn, not an alicorn. Celestia and Luna are natural alicorns.

@You_know _me Flurry shouldn't *be* an alicorn, as Cadence was a pegasus before becoming one. Flurry should either be a pegasus or a unicorn, not an alicorn. Celestia and Luna are natural alicorns.

@ArumiDespaire Asahina it’s not possible, I mean, it is as flurry heart is a born Alicorn but the princesses were shocked when that happened, it could mean two things (1) they were astonished to see a alicorn being born so that means that they weren’t born alicorns either (2) they were actually born alicorns and are from a different place so they never thought they would see this

I would imagine that the Journal would be considered one of those "questionable sources" Sawtooth mentioned.

He said the were alicorns and then became crowned

@ArumiDespaire Asahina That it actually doesn't say. Only that they were raised by alicorns, but it's possible they just ascended (or were ascended) very early in life. ...Or the Journal could be wrong. Some things in it (esp. regarding the Tree of Harmony) are explicitly contradicted by later parts of the show.

Not to mention Luna's grammar is atrocious, so there's no way the writing can be authentic to begin with.

So the name is Not King Cobalt, But King Bullion.


Your thoughts are fitting the story, timeline, and that you have a thought of a fitting story


Honestly everything you said sounds right and doesn't really have a flaw in it I watched this show restlessly at a kid and I still like it to this day until they change the art style 😂


5:10  How dare you use the cover art from Paradise, I still haven't recovered.  I'm in shambles, I'm in scrambles.

7:12  Just like how Discord's magic corrupted Grogar's Bell


I think this story matches the show perfectly and is perfectly cannon!!! Also when you said that he didn’t look like a regular unicorn, but look at mist mane! She looks like him minus the dark colours and flowing mane!!! Sawtooth tell me what you think!


Sawtooth: Explains Sombra's origins in story-like fashion
Me: Flashbacks to watching Inkrose head cannon stories when I was younger

@Abida Ali wouldn’t saw better than the show (except for the Celestial and Luna one), but yeah. Full nostalgia.

@Anonymous Cause Why Not Me two. I kinda feel like her head cannons were better than what the show gave us, especially her head cannon on Celestia and Luna. Or it's just the fond memories and nostalgia.


Now the only question is why Trixi didn’t become an Alicorn when she had the amulet but it might be a matter of breaking it or a spell


I wish they would at least acknowledge the journal of the two sisters and see if they can make it work with their alicorn theory


I would love if there were a season 10 but it didn’t exactly fit with twilight being Ruler Of Equestria, it was a series of people’s origins.


As much as people view Hasbrouck having a lot of missed opportunities, I see it as opportunities fulfilled by the fandom for being so creative in taking even the smallest tidbits such as the alicorn amulet looking like Sombra and turning it into this fantastic head Canon

So much creative works have r been done for the love of the show and just coming up with what ifs that really wow us.

I don't see mlp as a lot of shoulda woulda coukda's, but the spark of something even grander. The creativity of and just the fandom itself.

Excellent video.


FIENDship is Magic #1 exists and explains perfectly what Sombra is.


Sawtooth: we haven't seen evidence for that
Tantabus: Am I a Joke to you?

Sawtooth: we haven't seen evidence for that
Tantabus: *Am I a Joke to you?*


There is a theory that luna had fallen in love with King Sombra, so she could have given him a bit of her Alicorn magic willingly but something happened to him to have his wings taken from him. Maybe the Alicorn amulet was a gift from someone with mal intentions cursing it as soon as he wore it taking his wings and kindness with it.


If this was true, Sombra didn’t have flowing hair in your story. How did the sisters get them?


If Sombra was an Alicorn, i think that would've made him the first male Alicorn because you know there were never any records kept about any male Alicorns ever existing?...but Sombra did look kinda badass with wings in the thumbnail!!!

@Liv Ryanne Noble Dean No because he himself was inside the actual shadow in his original unicorn form.

what about the pony of shadows, didn't he technically become an anlicorn?


I’ve never even asked myself why he didn’t have wings.... and now I’m mad I never thought about it


Add on I thought of that maybe instead of Sombra seeing the beautiful crystal empire as nice and  glory he saw a minefield of crystals that maybe his crystal was inside and that's when we see the crystal ponies working with metal shafts around there legs he was just looking for his crystal to one day get back his powers.Just a little thought your prob gonna see through it but thanks for entertaining me everyday!


So i have only watched up to season two and haven't been able to get into the series and has been years since I saw it so I don't remember much but I have always thought that king sombra was interesting and I appreciate this video. For some reason I can only watch your videos because you bring up interesting topics. Though I did enjoy the new recent movie and loved the concept behind it. For the first time I can admit that I am not a fan of the series but do enjoy aspects that are interesting. Though my sister is a hardcore fan and she had to describe an overall summary of the series in her own words. I however am a fan of equestria girls because the concept of twilight going to the human world was pretty rad to me. Lol.


Hey so I just realised something that I never noticed before and am surprised you didn't either

As we see twilight cast a separating spell on the animals in Tartarus to their original form

We all questioned the origins of the magical creatures of Tartarus, and how they were fused at some point right?

But, Something struck me...

We've seen Twilight form the de-fusion spell as we see to use their magic, but did you know? we've also seen her perform the FUSING spell once, just once, before, very very early on in the show...

Anyone recall? anyone catching up yet? It has to do with apples, bats and a very kind friend ;)
.
.
.

Obviously please tell me you caught up because now the whole new question is, what the heck? like seriously, ponies, infused with other creatures? how many are there? besides seaponies- wait are seaponies also an infusion between griffin and ponies?...

How many unknown species are out there that we don't even know if they were magically fused together.

What about Sombra? he's obviously not the standard pony given the horn??, Chrysalis and the Changelings? Crystal ponies? Keirans or whatever they were called? What about the origins of unicorns and pegasus in the first place? Does this also mean twilight can perform a fusion spell of a flying creature with an earth pony and suddenly they could have wings?

Very interesting concept to me honestly, But what do you all have to say?

it should be.. *”IT’S FREE REAL ESTATE”*

@Pink Gumdrop Plays lots and lots of comments for you

@Pink Gumdrop Plays cool, I'll leave more then :)


this makes me feel something what happened to princess platinum as she would have also been striped of her royalty. did she follow her fathers hoofprints? did her legacy live on? did her fathers actions affect her life? I feel like the name rarity would live on the legacy but through out so many moons they would forget where platinum came from.


Hey, I just watched the entire video!!! but a thought came to my mind, you've already done other 3 videos with "how to reform mlp vilians" as the main topic. I think you know where im going at this point. Even tho Sombra has already died 2 times already. Would it be posible to actualy reform him? 'Cause if his case its similar to nighmare moons one. Why wouldn´t he be able to reform to? I know It's probably the crazyest tought I've ever had, but I'm courios of whats your opinion, im sure you're not going yo read this but I wanted to give it a shot!!!


I like to think that sombra wanted to have all the alicorn magic to himself, because he was a alicorn king once,and because of the crystal empire he lost them, he wanted to take revenge that’s why he took over the crystal empire, for revenge, so that’s my thought. What about everybody else?


What my theory is: trixie couldnt use the full power of the amulet because she didnt have alot of power to begin with. What im trying to say is that the amulet can only give a certain amount of power depending on how strong you are. So if twilight put it on then she would (in theory) take out all the amulets power but if rarity put it on she wouldnt have access to all the power but rather the amount of power she can hold. It's just a theory tho-

Newton’s third law, “For every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction.” It does apply here. Look it up.

@Lilley well yeah. After all she is the ruler of equestria. Twilight could (if she put it on) doom equestrian in my opinion.

if twilight would put it on do u think she would have enough power to change a ponys "character" like how trixie had enough power to change a ponys age would twilight possibly have enough power to make for example an earth pony into an alicorn or etc.

@EG and AJ true xD! But since its corrupted magic wouldnt that mean That she would be mean? And it would only boost her current power if my theory is right lol

Fluttershy would become the greatest princess allicorn ever (XD)


That does make sense, especially the first part. But about Star Swirl the bearded taking his power into an amulet, I think that doesn’t make sense. You said in the first part of your video gems were magical, so why would he store the magic in a gem (where it is even more powerful). I think it makes much more sense that Sombra creates the Alicorn Amulet. He puts a spell on a gem/puts some of his power in a gem. Since gems are magical in Equestria, it multiplies his power several times. He casts one more simple spell so only he can take it off, and he wears it so he changes into an alicorn. But since Sombra already had pretty much power, his power multiplied is to strong, it would eat him up, so he casts one more spell on it, saying that the amulet gives him as much power as he needs at that moment. But when Starswirl overthrew him, he didn’t need much power, so his amount of power was multiplied by 0. He hadn’t power, so the amulet has no power, and Starswirl casts a simple spell so the amulet flies to him. Sombra tries to battle Starswirl, but he has put a part of his power into the amulet, so Starswirl is stronger. At the last moment Sombra casts a spell so he gets teleported to a place where no one would ever find him. From there, it’s just the story we all know. (sorry for my English)

Another theory could be that magic is like energy, it can't dissapear. So StarSwirl knowing this knew that the saffest way was put all Sombra's magic in a gem.

Yet i have a hard time explain the part of only the user can take it off :v


Wait, you said that you need to absorb magic from all three tribes to become an alicorn, right? Does it only apply to ponies? If not, then would Tirek be an alicorn, with two horns and no wings?


@Sawtooth Waves  I recently searched what Sombra means and it means Shadow in Spanish, that would explain why his magic looks that way and what his name as a king would have been,


“How king sombra came to be.”
YouTube: aight it’s ad time
Edit: HOLY CRAP THATS ALOT OF LIKES I-

@Angry Ari Yeah, I know...but I wish they'd only put them at the beginning or end of the clip.

@Hyrulian Hero I think it gives either YouTube money or the creator money by putting ads

@Art’s Random Stuff Same here. One reason I don't think there should be ads on YouTube...or they should at least put them at the beginning and/or end or the video. Having them in the middle, usually cuts off what somebody's saying, and/or ruins the mood of the video.

When I read your comment I got an add when he said “how sombra came to be” and it gave me a mc Donald Korean burger ad

Lol i got an fast food ad which told me to order some XD

THATS HAPPENED TO ME IT GAVE ME A DISNEY PLUS AD XD

YouTube gave me a Barbie ad for some reason


My husband only ever watched the series with me because of sombra but  when they dumbed him down and the near to last season, he was ticked.


I'm beginning to think that the real reason as to why he turned to evil and became a tyrant, was the fact that he'd lost his daughter.

If King Sombra was once king Cobalt, and he had a daughter called princess platinum, it possibly was the grief of losing that someone that he loved.  Causing him to feel as if he lost everything even his legacy, and feeling inferior.

Around 7:48 time mark in the video, it was stated that "he always knew about the magic property of crystals". Even as to going as far as sending his daughter in search of new land, by using the crystals as a sort of compass.

Perhaps during one of her expeditions to finding new land, tragedy struck as an unfortunate event occured. That may of ended her life, and for King Cobalt to receive word about the death of his heir and  seeing the two sisters rise in power, infuriated him.

He knew that the power that the two sisters possessed, should of been "rightfully" his. It was a painful reminder of his past, his grief, his trauma, and his lust for power slowly turned him insane. Of losing someone that was closest to him that he unfortunately would never see again.

I appoligize that this was long, but as I watched the video I was able to piece together, and hopefully pinpoint the exact cause (or close too) what had happened, this is all just my opinion. Thank you for reading!


Can we talk about how in princess twilight sparkle (the ep) when twilight is using alicorn magic to change the potion it looks like sombras magic. It further adds on to the theory of sombra being an alicorn


Who else noticed that alicorn wings have more feathers and are a bit more fancy<br>Cozy as an example and other alicorns have the same just not as compared to pagasus wings

Can we appreciate how amazing the creativity in this fandom-


I just watched the audio of the Sombra comic and so many questions. Oh, I am so into this theory of course.

why? This doesn't really offer explanation. Just stuff that happened. Where is the why?
Secondly, is this actually canon? I love Sawtooth's King Cobalt theory.
His mother is a crystal?
How did Amore know?
Why is Sombra like this?
Apparently Amore is still alive at the end? How?
Distant relative to Cadance? Tell me more.
Why did he only say Sombra at the beginning?

Luna was trapped for 1000 years ... The crystal empire disappeared before. The crystal empire reappeared after.  🤣 Logic.

Darkness was my CUTIE mark 🤣


i really like this theory, even tho the part abouthim just finding the crystal empire and without a ruler (or ruler weak enough for the weakend sombra to overthrow) seems kind of sketchy, also if he had a doughter then who did he have it with and what hapend to her after sobra went super nuts alicorn mode? (would love if you made a theory about that too but mabey its a bit weird to make a theory about another theory....?) <3


If it’s true that it was his daughter then I’d be imaging that his daughter maybe died. He being so ripped with grief at the loss of his heir and beloved daughter and thinking that the princesses who seemed to have never ending power could help. He begged for their help with brining his daughter back. But being new to their abilities and not understanding how to properly address the king. In a moment of forgetfulness. Instead of trying to help the king move on and being sympathetic. Or explaining why they couldn’t help. They just told him No. and sent him away. Maybe even having him dragged out possibly in front of his own people when he broke down asking why they wouldn’t help him. Feeling humiliated and broken. The king left. Ending up at the crystal empire. Where he was amazed by the beauty of everything possibly reminding him of his daughter in some way. Being that the empire is not regular pony’s and wouldn’t have been part of the tribes probably. He was most likely seen as a god of sorts. Taken in as their king. He spent countless nights looking into magic. Trying to find comfort or assurance or even a way to bring his daughter back. And this led him to the gem that would become the powerful pendant we know today. He being a already powerful unicorn used it to make him into a Alcorn. And this power just drove him deeper. Feeling so close to the solution. The princess having heard of this came to take the pendant from him. And I believe they succeeded. Turing him back into a unicorn. This would only further his hate for them as the young princess take what he saw as his only chance at getting possibly his only remaining family member back to them. They might tell him that it was a risk and he could die but what does he care in this state? They leave the king to grieve thinking that’s the end of it. And in his grief. Alone. Desperate. Angry. And broken. A transformation similar to nightmare moon happened. His emotions using his own magic to turn him into king sombria. Although it wouldn’t be him anymore. But his pure raw magic ruling. And his magic wants to be more powerful. To fulfill something that he can’t remember. To fix a missing part of him that made him this upset. The princess’s view this not as a mistake of them not helping the king grieve but as him being selfish and power hungry. And not even taking the time to try and help him out of his situation. They pull a nightmare moon and just banish their problems lol.


I personally like the theory that he and Chrysallis ruled the Crystal empire together.<br>And that at some point he grew power hungry and Chrysallis was forced to escape with the changlings leaving her bitter

If Sombra was an alicorn. Then does that mean Shining Amour could be an Alicorn????

I think he should be. Why would you only have one Alicorn for romance? Romantic love needs atleast two people

I think he made an episode on that, but he only said that Shining Armor couldnt have been because Cadence was the Princess of romantic love and parent love. But in that case, couldn’t Shining Armor have been the Prince of Fatherly love? 🤔 they both play different roles in Flurry’s lives and she loves them BOTH, so in my personal opinion it would have been better for Shining Armor to have turned into an alicorn, especially considering that Cadence, Twilight and Flurry Heart all had to watch him grow old and die 😢

Alicorns aren't just restricted to females.

They all ready have one male alicorn and he turns evil so......

@Winter Glow the video came out last year it’s not that old

that does make sense because the sisters were loved and became alicorns, why not shining armor?

I guess you’re right! After all being a Alcorn can come upon anyone with a good heart! (except for Luna, Sombra and, cozy glow! ._.)

Yes that’s true and it would be amazing if that was true but I also saw a video on YouTube that wasn’t one of Santas race and he was a unicorn just like it only he helped another unicorn so he wasn’t always evil when he was by himself

@Winter Glow yea I remember but just bringing the topic back up

@Tabby  It would’ve an interesting episode in the show

@Winter Glow wasn't  that a very old video?


So let’s just say he was the same type unicorn that “mist mane” (the pillar) was then gained wings the shadow pony put that evil power was better than using your power for good in his mind... Then the sisters may have said something similar to this “You shouldn’t use your magic like this... you don’t know what your doing!” Then he would refuse then celestia would grab the alicorn amulet sucking up the other two tribes out of him making him a unicorn and very mad :3

So many villains were downgraded and underused. In the previous seasons the villains seemed much more powerful and fit their roles but it in the last season it just doesnt give the same vibe as their first appearances.


I have a small theory that kinda is based off yours: Maybe, Grogar’s ball and the Alicorn Amulet are connected? Think about it, if you have the magic from Grogar’s ball, he could have easily zapped it into the Alicorn Amulet. If anyone else would like to add on they are allowed to.


The story of Sombra in comics : * just exists*

Youtubers:


Maybe Sombra helped Celestia and Luna and gained alicorn status with them but got jealous that he didn’t have a place. Celestia ruled the day, Luna ruled the night, but what was he left with? Sombra studied dark magic as he tried to find his place as a ruler, but only turned evil as his jealousy and fixation with dark magic transformed him into his current form (but with wings). He fought the Princesses as he declared himself “King of the Shadows”, but lost and was banished. Quickly, he found small kingdoms of crystal ponies that were of all tribes, who fought with each other much like old Equestria. He deemed that the earth ponies would be the easiest to control, since they didn’t have wings or unicorn magic, and became their King. He gave them promises of a great empire ruled by earth ponies and they bowed, given him complete power over their military in return for an empire. Sombra obliterated the opposing crystal kingdoms, and used his shadow magic to control the army, forcing the crystal ponies to allow him to be their one and only King. The two sisters heard of this and went to confront their old friend, now powered with the Elements of Harmony. During a peace dinner, the sisters threatened the Shadow King with the Elements, but he used his mind controlled soldiers to throw them out. Celestia threatened that this action would result in war, but he didn’t care. In preparation for war, King Sombra made himself a crystal made entirely out of dark magic to give him boosts of magical strength to keep fighting, while also controlling his subjects. The war lasted almost a full generation before the final battle where Luna confronted Sombra on the battlefield. Sombra tried to convince Luna to be his Queen, since they had been really close friends in their youth, but she refused. Sombra continued by saying how ponies don’t actually enjoy the night or shadows, and that they are actually terrified of the dark. These ideas stuck in Lunas head, but she still refused and cut off Sombra’s wings and took his amulet. The King felt his power and energy drain from him as his soldiers shook off the mind control. But right as the Princesses banished him, he used the last of his strength to cause the Crystal Empire to vanish with himself.

That’s just my headcanon sorry that was so long okay bye :D

@רוני בן עזרא thanks!

@רוני בן עזרא thanks!

Wow I love the idea of Sombra being the root of Luna's jealousy

Im so confused. Hasn’t this already been answered? The comics tell the story of sombra being part of the umbra and his fate to become corrupted as seen by radiant hope. Were those comics just not out yet by the time this video was made?


In the season 3 premier when Shining Armour is leading the mane 6 to the Crystal Empire for the first time he says, "Something keeps trying to get in, we think it's the UNICORN KING who originally cursed the place". He could just be referring to the fact that Sombra is a unicorn and not a crystal pony but it still seems like an odd detail to throw in there.


From what I know from the comics is that sombra was a normal unicorn in the crystal empire friends with cadence. They’re was a myth that if you looked into the crystal heart you’d see your future, so cadence saw hers, but sombra got one of him getting eaten up by darkness (I think, or he got nothing), which made him angry because cadence got a good future, that after that i don’t really remember, what happened so, yep. (Not 100% sure this is correct tho), and I’m also sure sombra travels between worlds where the “shadow ponies” are.

Sombra's friend wasn't Candence, it was Radiant Hope :P I also saw Comic, he's kind of a shadow pony and in history he said there were others like him under the Crystal empire, it's a shame he was consumed by darkness and became the Shadow King, Radiant was extremely sad when it happened because they were friends from childhood, I always thought he could have changed his destiny if he had tried :,)


He said “Iron fist”, but I’m sure he meant “Iron Hoof”. Right? Right...? Riiiiiiiight...?

Maybe the term comes from dragons, being cruel and having hands

omg wait he might be from the same world as the equestria girls

Yeah in many Sawtooth theories when he mentions ponies , he says persons


I don’t even think the my little pony team who created the tv show thought about this. Well done I agree.


I might have figured out the way Sombra actually took over the Crystal Empire while keeping in line with the theoretical Timeline you've come up with. <br>Rather than copy-paste it here, I'll just point to your 'Lost Alicorn Princess' Video where I've commented how Sombra, the former Crystal Princess and Princess Cadence all fit into your story...

This still doesn't explain how Trixie can cast spells we've never seen anyone cast before, does Sombra's influence on the amulet also give the wearer the ability to use such spells?


I honestly do not believe that the crystal kingdom was just sitting there for the taking. For the rest it is a very cool idea


Me before: why him? Why was he an alicorn an literally no one else
Me After: Feeling bad for Sombra

I like the theory but i do remember seeing crystal pegasus in the show, so there could also be crystal unicorns in the crystal kindom.


What if the Sombra that Discord "revived" wasn't actually Sombra at all? What if Discord's Sombra was just some creation with the same lust for power as the previous Sombra?


If anyone did not know I think Twilight said that they banished him to something icy. So do you think king sombra could be afraid of snow and ice. Besides he has the power to show other ponies the fear that's in them.


Sawtooth with his theory and sombra's very dark past and everything.<br>Comics: Are we a joke to you?!

I wanted to see WAY more of sombra... I'm kinda mad that they brought him back and then almost immediately threw him away. 😔<br>He had SO much potential to be an awesome villain.

He had SO much potential to be an awesome villain.

Tbh sombra really did have so much potential but like he always had his heart set on the throne and tbh it just made him not think about other things if that makes sense like for example when sunset came back to equestrian and stole twilights crown she bright a fake but he didn’t think about things like that

what if ' origins " [ Sombra version ]followed by " the siege of the crystal empire " happened after mlp. that makes 100 % sense

Exactly! I was so happy when they finally brought him back!<br>Then so disappointed when it was only for the start to kill him off AGAIN! Literally the only freaking villain that died! TWO TIMES!

Then so disappointed when it was only for the start to kill him off AGAIN! Literally the only freaking villain that died! TWO TIMES!

Same here buddy. He could have been as good as Discord if he’d been given as much screen time & dialogue.


Side theory: We've only seen a particular set of ponies have their hair show how they feel, Pinkie's hair goes flat when she's upset and not representing her element. The only other ponies to have done that are the crystal ponies, they went flat a dull when Sombra took over!! Could this mean there's some relation between Pinkie and the crystal ponies?? Obviously pinkie works a lot differently than the crystals, hers is way more emotion based, and we know she was raised on a rock farm and not in the empire, but could some kind of crystal roots mixed with her element cause her to react this way?? I'd love to see a in depth theory about this, cuz I don't have the tine or brainpower to get evidence.


I always thought Sombra ended up selling his soul or something to gain his power.  If his soul is missing, it would explain why he has no cutie mark for someone as exceedingly old as he is.


I just figured out the named “sombra” is just a bit different to the French version which is “sombre” and it means dark in French  😮 I feel stupid

Sombra is, I believe, also Spanish for "shadow".


Cadence ruled the Crystal Empire PRIOR to King Sombra, hence her cutie mark. The Love Potion Story says the two rulers' kingdoms fell. The Crystal Empire fell to Sombra. Assuming this is true, this theory can't work because of the huge time gap. I <b>do</b> agree with his connection to the Alicorn Amulet, this just isn't it.

I don't think that Discord brought back Sombra, but rather he made a clone of him that fit Discord's approximate knowledge of Sombra

I always assumed given the comics, that the Sombra brought back was his evil and malice given form like a copy with it's own body kinda like if Nightmare Moon returned with her own body and no host or  like how Terrorwing and Mesogog were separated from their hosts in Power Rangers, and the real Sombra was still looking for the Shards of Amore unaware of what was happening.

@Lost_Films32 but even in the show Sombra wasn't brought back from the dead

I feel like saw tooth is right, but the more I watch mlp season six episode one the more something bothers me.  When  Spike explained the crystalline in the crystal empire to the mane six, the vaze he was holding had images of crystal ponies with unicorn horns and pegisi wings


I really like your story, it really matches


Really?Can I offer $100,000,000 for the book? -totally not mr beast alt acc


I wonder what happened and how his daughter felt when her father turned evil...

yeah good question, id love to see more of princess platinum. and for celestias sake, some actual character development for sombra


They really need to make books or comics of these unsolved characters and stories.

There already is comic.
The Fiendship is magic gives lore for all villains.
Tho only Thorax one is canon since Discord mentions Vorac.


What I think happened is sombra was a regular unicorn but when Luna set the moon and celestia risen the sun for the first time and everyone watched he started to have a thirst for power and at the first summer solstice as the moon set and the sun rose he stole the princesses powers and Luna ran but celestia stayed and tried to fend off but was chased into the ever free forest and stumbled into the tree of harmony and the elements glimmered in her eyes and she took them and she was cornered  by sombra and trying to fend off the elements gave her power and banished sombra getting her and her sisters magic back and all that's was left was the necklace shaped like sombra to warn about the dark forces it had within it the elements floated back into the tree and celestia was surprised and that's how she found the elements and defeated sombra.                         Peeps please dont be mad I over think stuff


I think he went to the alicorn society and destroyed it to gain his magic which is also why luna and her sister couldn't get back to their home. Then in seeking of more power he went to the crystal empire and over threw it but was later  killed and if or destroyed


There’s something the hits the story in the head<br>The thing that shows this is wrong:sombra is not that alicorn  see the horn his head is shaped different its Curved But the alicorn on the necless doesn’t

There’s something the hits the story in the head
The thing that shows this is wrong:sombra is not that alicorn  see the horn his head is shaped different its Curved But the alicorn on the necless doesn’t


I think sombra can already control dark magic crystals and there was another himself but with dark magic sombra tried and defeat that dark magic sombra but he failed and that dark magic sombra collided with sombra making sombra filled with dark magic.


I  think that Chrysalis and Sombra is related to each other, they both have dark grey skin color the curved horn and also the green eyes similarities.

On season three when Sombra gets closer and closer to the Crsytal Heart an object filled with and fuelled with love of the Crystal ponies his reaction is to lick his lips as if he wanted to feed on it just like how a changeling reacts when taking the love of creatures.

Sombra was a corrupt king of the Crsytal empire and Chrysalis Queen of The Changelings then the two may be related??


I wonder what chaos would happen if sombra excepted the offer to join cozy glow and the others


Sawtooth! You should make post your music on iTunes and Spotify! I 💙 it.


Ya but don’t forget at the 5th season I think where rarity was telling the cutie mark crusaders their favorite legends the unicorns had the same exact horn as somber so could be he was out thrown from mist manes friend and exiled and found the crystal empire then


Imagine the creators of MLP just commented on this: "How did you figure this out."

@Dobby The Houself <b>OMG</b> sry but hey do you guys think sawtooth should do mixed Harry Potter and My Little Pony vids then like

@Dobby The Houself *OMG* sry but hey do you guys think sawtooth should do mixed Harry Potter and My Little Pony vids then like

If it were to be like that then BOOM    canon.


Defo give the fiendship is magic comics a read! Sombras explains that he never had wings to begin with nor does he ever get a cutie mark! still would be awesome if they had dep dives into that more though in the show


This theory is absolutly amazing!

Would you mind if I take Inspiration of this theorie in a fanfiction of me?


Wanna know what he also lost aside his wings?

His charm.


The graphic novel I think handles it well. That he isn't a pony even. That the crystal Fair was painful to him. He had one friend in the orphanage, who spent a millennium being tricked by his species. So, sorry, better story line. The Umbrum would have been a great story line.

That said, the early story of the graphic novels, with Sombra of alternate world, was a pony. But he did not have wings there either.

But how did I never notice all the crystal ponies have no wings or horns & are different altogether.


Sawtooth: Here is how Sombra came to be

YouTube: Genshin impact ad

Me: ah yes he came to be from an rpg game

Key Lime Pie well chinese people made it

@Bon-Bon Savour300 it’s Chinese with Japanese anime style<br>Don’t say things that you don’t know

@Bon-Bon Savour300 it’s Chinese with Japanese anime style
Don’t say things that you don’t know

@random 🐸 •56 years ago you can’t buy characters in genshin.

Yeah haven't you bought him yet?!? He's soooo OP!

@Bon-Bon Savour300 nah mihoyo is a Chinese buisness thingy

@Key Lime Pie I believe that it’s Chinese though my dream is to go to Japan 👀

@Bon-Bon Savour300 genshin is a chinese game based off of different regions and traditions aswell, mondstadt is based off of wales or sweden I think? or maybe germany, Inazuma is based from Japan and I think that Liyue is based off of China :)

@xara wrong it’s Chinese up there, Japanese is made up of 3 languages. Katakana for foreign words and is just vowels, Hirigana which is syllables for local words. And kanji, that which is from China, basically Japanese is a watered down easier version of Chinese.

@Bon-Bon Savour300 its chinese, the logo is just japanese for some reason

@Key Lime Pie but I don't know if it's that true or not but genuinely people are scared of that game and I don't know why but I'm not because I like this game and I play it so I don't see anything wrong with it

@Key Lime Pie Looks like you didn't get my question what I meant was I heard people say that they collect data from people like they collect the details of people who play and people are scared because of that because they said if it's a Chinese game then they will collect data and I don't know maybe sell it?

@Meko Cat Genshin impact is a product of mihoyo, a Chinese games company. because the characters are styled in an anime-like fashion people think its a japanese game and refuse to believe that its chinese.

@Key Lime Pie and what wrong with that plz tell me I sow a lot of people saying that I don’t know why?

@Key Lime Pie pretty sure it’s originally Japanese.

Yes he came from a Chinese rpg came that’s free.


okay, just clarifying, Sombra got his shadow form because CELESTIA banished him in a shadow form to the ice. IT WAS NOT PART OF HIM ORIGINALY. ->-


Thanks Sombra actually was nice and then he got like he lost his wings like from a potion what affected Calusa‘s wings and then he turned evil


If you look at rarity’s clothing representing the princess in the play it resembles Sombra’s outfit from the comic a bunch!


I’m not sure Sombra was an alicorn. It could be true, but I had a theory that when a creature turns evil they get an “evil form”, like Nightmare Moon, so maybe Sombra started out as a regular unicorn and then turned evil, or that Cozy Glow’s evil form was an alicorn, but this is a great theory


Sombra: "I shall rule with an iron fist!"
Also Sombra: Wears iron-looking shoe things
Celestia when she came with Luna to banish him: "You know, I think you took the "iron fist" think too literally..."

Sombra: "I shall rule with an iron fist!"
Also Sombra: *Wears iron-looking shoe things*
Celestia when she came with Luna to banish him: "You know, I think you took the "iron fist" think too literally..."

@Carmen Mercedes I fixed it, mainly because the more I looked at it and knew it was wrong the more it made me want to throw a chair.

It's too, but that was funny so I'll let it slide.


I think he always was the rightful ruler of the crystal empire. He got jealous of the royal sisters because they were all the new craze to his subjects and got corrupted similar how nightmare moon was born. Sombra is very interested in forcing ponies to obey him so in the past he could have cared very much about them in the past.


So I read this theory on Reddit about why all the crystal ponies are earth ponies..
To put it simply, each sub-class of pony has it's own traits other than the obvious wings, horns or lack thereof. Unicorns are powerful and elegant, the pegasi are agile and quick, the earth ponies are strong and enduring and the alicorns are (Obviously) a combination of the three.
According to this theory, these facts tie in as to why the crystal ponies are all earth ponies.
As I said before, the earth ponies are strong and enduring, which probably made them the only ponies that could survive King Sombra's rule. And since all the ponies that returned are the same ponies from his original reign, it makes sense. On another note, I don't think the crystal ponies in question are a separate species of pony altogether. As we see in the show, exposure to the Crystal Heart can turn anypony into a crystal pony, since there are several occurrences where non-crystal ponies gain a crystal coat. That explains why there are some crystal ponies later on in the show (And the comics) are pegasi/unicorns, even though the original crystal ponies haven't really had the time to breed considering it's only been a few years since the Empire's return.


Hey can you make more fan fictions like tihs? It would be amazing!


Small issue with this theory. The sisters were already Alicorns when they became the princesses

and that was the end of king sombra.

well, until a chaos god larking to be a dead goat brought him back to troll his friends

orrr, I have another theory based off of your video on Cadence. In that video there was a prince who fell in love with Cadence and I think that prince was Sombra. Cadence ruled what was at the time, a very small crystal empire and Celestia broke away the two by banishing Sombra to somewhere, and while cadence grew back into her old roles, Sombra was heartbroken and unable to cope, allowing dark forces to take him over before her returned to take control of the kingdom he once ruled, the crystal empire, and from there, Canterlot. as for the Alicorn amulet I think there is a second story behind this, somewhat similar to what you said in this video, possibly Sombra stealing the magic of the crystal ponies and as they had kids and evolved that lost magic couldn't be passed down so instead the ponies put what little magic they had left into the crystal heart, finding themselves a substitute power in that to keep them alive. I would love to hear what you think about my theory though :)


Saw tooth waves “ is he an umbrum”<br>Sombra “ I was born like this also my name was sombra but I was called the thing you called”

Saw tooth waves “ is he an umbrum”
Sombra “ I was born like this also my name was sombra but I was called the thing you called”


I just realised something...
so obviously we all know there's life beyond the rainbows and ponies? yeah and remember the time Tirek, a mysterious creature from beyond Equestria after several years of imprisonment absorbed all of the princesses magic?...
Yo is no one gonna question how many creatures out there are probably flowing with any kind of amount of alicorn magic? all it did to Tirek was make him stronger and bigger.
How many are really out there with unknown civilian-attempted assassinations but in the form of alicorn power with tainted and secret histories?
Dang, that would be so damn interesting! like a re-watching of the elder-wand-power-mess, but alas MLP is MLP, doubt they'd do something like this. well not that they can do it at all anymore-


The story sounded so real how he described it like


Generally I kinda like sombra as a character he was a good villain put of all of them (except discord he was the best)


I think your right.However I think sombra might steal magic and love from the crystal empire in g2


Wait. This makes sense but..could King Sombra have been a Kirin? Or Nirik I guess. Think about it, his cape and armor perfectly hide his scales, his dark coat and flowing mane, his odd horn. Certainly looks like one? Could he have some motives that would go along with his character story? Also, he has fangs like a Nirik and I should mention Nirik/Kirin are the only creatures in mlp that I have seen to have beard-like manes, just like King Sombra.


What if king sombra mixes in with princess cadence. On another video you show how Cadence could have ben the princess from the book that had the love poison spell in it and Sombra could have ben that prince that gave it to her before becoming king. That would explain cadences cutie mark if she was originally from the crystal empire.


Did u see the episode where he drowned?? Because that could lead to multiple different outcomes like him maybe dealing with some sort of shadow demon or something leading to him turning evil


We'll I don't think that sombra is even a pony because he doesn't have a cutié mark and<br> only pony's can become an alicorn , right?

We'll I don't think that sombra is even a pony because he doesn't have a cutié mark and

Fun fact, did you ever noticed that we have never seen before Star Swirl cutie mark? May be he us realated with sombra...

I think the cutie mark got stolen when his wing's got stolen

May being a ruthless dictator wasn’t his destiny.

What if he had one but lost it at the same time of losing his wings? We know they’re magic oriented

@Arachnid iruma also sapphire shores doesnt have one either

@Balques ummm... no. Trixie still have her cutie mark, Starlight still have her cutie mark, Cozy still have her cutie mark.

Sombra is an umbrum. A shadow pony with appearance of skull pony-like wisp if you read the MLP comic. Sombra become a good person at the end tho.

Catg_irl 678<br>No5 all ponies get cutie marks. Also, Sombra mostly wears a cape... soo

Thank Good side of sombra cutie mark is a blue star and the bad site 3 crystals

Remember when the CMCS got their cutie mark so late on? What if he never got one :/

@Kimo_Neko remeber when Luna let the darkness take over her and sum happened with her cutie mark?

@Kimo_Neko its acctually spelt umbrum.<br>I spelt it wrong lol

@Kimo_Neko its acctually spelt umbrum.
I spelt it wrong lol

@Random Name I didn't know how to spell the name so I called them shadow ponys 😅

@€LOLBIT¥ oh, wait is the season 10 comics cannon though?

Catg_irl 678 well his cutie mark could have been taked along with his wings

@Taylor Pennington when he was talking about Reforming Cozyglow because of her cutiemark, and he said there hasn't been actually an evil cutiemark, so maybe thats why he doesn't have a cutiemark to reflect his bad guy form. Or maybe when he was the normal unicorn king, he had a cutiemark but his evil form took it away

Well...if he can be a unicorn then he can also be an alicorn..right?

Well yeah in the comics(that's if you want to consider it canon) sombra is part of a race called the umbrum, a race that was imprisoned because they attacked the crystal empire. So the umbrum turned sombra into a pony so he can slip through the prison. I think people call him a pony caus he looks like a pony.

@Dream Kohta maybe sandbar referred to him as a pony because he doesn't know the full story behind sombra? Sombra in a way is a pony but also came from shadow ponys in the comics and he looks like a pony so he can live among the other ponys as like a spy

In the episode where Yona is trying to act like a pony for the dance, Sandbar refers Sombra as a pony

@Taylor Pennington in the origin comics for sombra it says that he doesn't have a cutie mark because he is a shadow pony or something like that

Its cannon that they can be blank flank adults


I think Sombra is from where Mistmane is from and her friend Sable Spirit was corrupted because if you look at her magic, it's very rare for it to be red, like when Trixie got corrupted. (of course, I could be wrong but my theory, ok?)  Also, I think that maybe Sombra corrupts Flurry Heart in the future but she overcomes it herself and protects the Crystal Heart and that's why she looks like she has guard armor and also why she has that stained glass window.


Coming back to this video and looking at Sombra made me notice something… Anybody else think he kinda looks like Mistmane? I mean the long curved horn, tall and slender build, kinda wavy mane? Just something I noticed and thought was kinda interesting


okay so... you said he WAS an alicorn right? Well I came in conclusion that Sombra aka "King Cobalt" WAS the first ever male alicorn that existed... and then after he became a normal unicorn cause he gave up to dark magic, Star Swirl: The Bearded actually did not make another male alicorn cause he might've thought that it's just gonna end up like how Sombra became to be.

I think that's why there is no male alicorns in the series...  (Sorry for my bad grammar, English isn't my first language)


i believe its a little different: king cobalt gained alicorn wings as soon the 3 tribes united and after a long time he found the crystal empire and there he started to get hungry for power and jealous for the new princesses after this he turned into king sombra and starswirl drained his powers with the alicorn amulet


I think most probably sombra might wear his Cape to hide his wings. Then he'd be the first male alicorn, right? Maybe he studied under Starswirl with Celestia and Luna. So maybe Starswirl made him an alicorn? That's how Celestia and Luna were almost outsmarted.

I think celestia wasn’t and only luna was and she told celestia what she thought and then they both got overthrown


I think he was a pony within the crystal empire, he was a lot like sunburst and had a thirst for knowledge. After reading and reading he stumbles upon a corrupt but powerful type of magic, at first he decided to simply read about it but over time he grew obsessed with the power it could offer him and succumbed to the temptation. Since the first spell he casted through this style of magic, he was slowly becoming more and more thirsty for power. Influenced by his new magic he attempts to overthrow the empire. As for his horn and ability to use magic, either it came with the dark magic somehow, or that it’s because he simply wasn’t a crystal pony


if you read the Journal . Of the Two Sisters, there is a mention of Princess Platinum's father , the unicorn king. I don't remember his name though.


Who else loves the fact that we got story time?


So, we saw somber as horn when he was ultimately killed<br>Now I’m just gonna wait till a new pony finds this horn and is corrupted by the magic in it

So, we saw somber as horn when he was ultimately killed

All that SUPER DRAMATIC story telling, that loud CRUNCH* of the apple gave me shudders  <b>shivers</b> ugh

All that SUPER DRAMATIC story telling, that loud CRUNCH* of the apple gave me shudders  *shivers* ugh


I think that when Star swirl came to take king Sombra’s magic king Sombra transformed into another form as Luna did and then star swirl and king Sombra had a big battle then star swirl took Sombra’s magic that he stole from the pony’s that then trapped Sombra so he couldn’t transform back into his normal self.        If that makes any sense. 😅


sombra is actually spanish for shadow, so i believe he had a name change, whether he chose it or not


i like the desgin of his wings when he was flying from the stage


The comics kind of go against this, since sombra is established as being a born umbrum

@Sawtooth Waves Mabe Sombra got his shadow form because of his shadow form imprisonment


"...Is [Sombra] even a unicorn?  He sure doesn't look like one, his horn is different" and a couple of other things that you actually explained.  The horn could also be part of a magical transformation, but some unicorns do have curved horns; look at Mistmane (and the other unicorns in her legend).  I like how not all unicorns have the same horn, because look at how many styles of horn there are on bi-horned creatures irl - it wouldn't make any sense for there to be just one type of unicorn (I don't consider the kirin as unicorns, because they have antlers rather than horns).

He got it from the crystal heart. Only two minutes in and that's my theory. The magic coming from all 3 pony types.


If his power was absorbed in that amulet, why his power was raising as he was getting close to the cristal heart?


Wouldn't "Ruling with an iron hoof" be more accurate in this case. 6:39


this makes me feel like the “good” pony’s are really just bad and the “villains” just want back what the once had that was taken over my the pony’s of equestria

It makes me think the comparison between Princess Celestia and Rose Quartz (Steven Universe) Is more accurate than any thought at the time.


Down in the shadows he turned to the evil king of the crystal heart


Sombra did not have that horn always he is a normal unicorn but darkness pulled him into the water that also explains his shadow power and form


Just gonna say, this is just a theory people, also it sounds amazingly accurate


2:44 UMBRUM
me: LAUGHS FOR LIKE A MILLION YEARS
Well i think "Somba" real name is "Bombra"
