Or how after she is resurrected she takes drastic measures to let her legacy live on in case she dies again.

Very interesting how Shoko is technically a 'bad' person despite being a reincarnation of the catalyst comet that embodies 'good'. She truly was in horrible circumstances for her being a living embodiment of good to be a bad person. Once she got the chance to be good she truly became who she was meant to be. She only took the amulet because she wanted to live and when she finally secured a way to get the amulet and return it to PB she went out of her way to do so. Talk about a character that shows how someone who is good can be corrupted to do something bad.

Shoko represents the argument of nature vs nurture. Despite being the physical embodiment of good, she still does things that can be considered evil like theft and manipulation. However, she draws a line at hurting people and often finds herself helping those in need for no personal gain. She is the case study of the personality being a combination of born instincts and learned logic.

Shoko is the embodiment of good corrupted by evil. She was definitely a tragic tale of what she could've become but didn't. In the end she's became the one thing that she didn't want to become. But through Finn she was able to reconcile. Now, she's free. Also particularly haunting is her skeleton remains still sits under the tree and not being moved after renovation. What a bittersweet ending.

I'm literally imagining Shoko's parents cutting off her arm, most definitely without painkillers, and then thinking of the selfish reason why they did that to their daughter. I get that times are tough during a post apocalyptic event, but I can't think of anything that could justify that.

I like the fact that the incarnations are their independent people despite having the same soul. I don't think Shoko really counted as a ghost, just that her memories had been repressed so she was only able to manifest in Finn's mind as ghostly images. Also, the intro deafened me.

Great Video! I’ve never personally considered the possibility of Shoko being a ghost. I always thought that Shoko was just apart of Finns mind being a previous incarnation of him. Kind of like how some people claim to have memories from past lives.

my theory is that the fact that Shoko checked all the criteria of ghosts her incarnation was leaking through finn's vault, the catalist comets have atemporal knowledge but finn chooses to vault all but his current life so in a way finn aways knew about Princess Bubblegum's amulet, the difference with Shoko was that she had unfinished business that simple couldn't be vaulted

I believe in later episodes it is suggested that Fins original self chose to make sure each life would be new, so it can be experienced . Like they didn’t want to make judgements base on past lives. The Lich made sure to keep its memories through each life

I personally like to think Finn loved PB from the get-go partly because of his past life as Shoko. He was subconsciously still very greatful for her kindness, and wanted to make it right by being loyal to her this time. Since Pen is a spiritual guy, looking at it from a lens of karma would make sense, as Finn's undying loyalty for her in itself could be both a form of atonement, and a continuation of Shoko's story through his own.

Shoko's death was quite tragic. I honestly believe PB would have shown her mercy and tried to protect her if she revealed the truth. I also wonder if shoko being reincarnated as finn was part of the reason why he was so close to her.

Shokos story is so tragic. She didnt even get to make things right till hundreds of years later and mot even by her own hands but through finn. I always wonder tho what happend to the tiger after she died. How long did it last before it died and was reincarnated as jake

@TrueLocalEnthusiast

Жыл бұрын

Probably just a few years 😢

It's possible that the soul of Finn and Shoko felt guilty of stealing from PB, like you said in the video, had Shoko's body and death embeaded in the memory of the soul as to redeem their actions and that it was possibly a tramatic event for the soul in general, leaving Shoko's death embeaded. Kinda like PTSD but for a reencarnated soul.

Can’t Finn memorize his past lives? This probably isn’t any form of haunting but literally just shoko’s part of the cycle having such strong emotions that Finn has a very difficult time vaulting her away.

Y'know, this would also explain why Finn seems to have an undying loyalty to PB. Like yeah, part of that is hormones, but it'd make sense if the remnants of Skoko's self was trying to make it up to Bubblegum by pledging loyalty through Finn. Since there are times when he's still loyal to her, but not romantically interested in her.

I had a similar conundrum with Zelda 2, because there are 2 Princess Zeldas but the goddess Hyrule always is reincarnated into the Hyrulian royal family. So only one of the Zelda is the reincarnation of Hyrule.
