The Lord of Screens, Cleaved Red By Blade

Wiki Discussion
1

So apparently someone got really insistent on a theory that "the lord of screens" the Prophecy talks about may be someone else as opposed to Tenna - because, allegedly, the panel may represent a different screen and thus something that didn't happen yet - and then the page got locked due to an edit war. What do we think of this? Is "the lord of screens" Tenna?

I personally think they are. If the panel looks like a TV and they are prophesied to get offed by the Knight just like Tenna did, then it's most likely supposed to be him.

What other TVs look like Tenna's light world form and get KO'd by the Knight?

3

I get the idea that it could be some character that gets introduced later, but like, how could it possibly be anybody other than Tenna. What are the odds there's a second TV headed character introduced in the game later on, who also gets murdered?

I did mention that that editor's argument was something that could be neither proven nor disproven with the information we have at the moment, so I removed that due to its speculative nature. The editor ignored that.

I think that if we assume FLOWER MAN is Asgore, and QUEEN is Queen, and TORTOISE is Gerson, it is pretty safe to assume LORD OF SCREENS is Tenna.

It's also referenced in the code as "boss2" in between "boss1: THE QUEEN'S CHARIOT CANNOT BE STOPPED." and "boss3: THE FLOWER MAN, TRAPPED IN ASYLUM."

I think that's pretty clearly referring to a major boss between Chapter 2 and a chapter that hasn't happened yet but which everyone assumes is 5. That doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room for alternate interpretations. (Are they saying it's the player's screen? I'm reasonably sure that isn't the intent.)

This is what they gave as their reasoning.

It's very likely but it shouldn't be stated as fact when other prophecy panels are intentionally vague to represent multiple people (like the panel that can represent either Susie or Noelle depending on if the Weird Route), certain events haven't occurred yet, and the depiction lacks antennas so it can purposely be interpreted as either Tenna or a different screen.

Frankly, I wasn't sure what the "diagram" was supposed to mean either.

Out of all of the prophecy texts I think this one is probably one of the least ambiguous. At most, I would put "X probably refers to Y" and not include it in the infobox.

9

I'm sorry, could you specify what you mean by "X probably refers to Y"?

EDIT: Nvm, figured out a way how to go about it.

But then how would the player's screen be “cleaved red” by blade?
