DELTARUNE MIKE THEORY

Is 'Cathode' not just what Spamton calls Tenna? Similar to how he never uses Noelle's name when speaking about her?

I don't know who else will agree, but toby is the type of guy who makes the fandom think about "mike" for one year, to the introduce "Tenna" to change people's minds to then show in the game that Mike is the antagonist. Toby would definetly do that

Don't know if you've heard this before, but when spamton is talking about mike in his shop he says "KRIS!!! DON'T BELIEVE [[Anything You See On TV!]] THE MAN'S A CRIMINAL, I TELL YOU! A CRIMINAL!!" Maybe he's reffering to Tenna not Mike, telling us that Tenna is spreading misinformation about Mike. He also mentions CRTS and how you don't need them.

If Tenna is going to be a character in the game (which seems very likely), it would be funny if they somehow made it so that every single time their name is mentioned the sentence is structured in a way so that there's the word "and" in front of the name (so that they're essentially always called "antenna") You know, a funny little dialogue quirk. Could also tie into a sort of inferiority complex, always being number two and stuff like that

I agree with think Spamton is talking about Tenna in both instances but I have another theory, since a “boob tube” is a TV set I think that implies that this “Cathode crew” with have multiple leading officers one of which being Tenna representing the antennas on a CRT TV and there will probably be one for like the box part with the screen and probably some other people as well

When his text is bracketed, [text], it's not the actual word he's saying and instead something related to his feeling/true sentence. I think that the person's name is "Tenna", and [Cathode] was Spamton's broken English keeping him from saying something offensive. I think he was probably meaning something like "That asshole's crew", but due to Tenna being the asshole, his broken English filters his swears by calling Tenna a [Cathode] instead.

I think the whole Cathode thing might be a little less complicated than people are making it out to be. I think when Spamton says "ARE YOU PART OF THAT [cathode]'S CREW?", with the context that Tenna may have done something to Mike, him calling us the "cathode's crew" might just be him assuming we WORK for Tenna, thus making it seem like we're asking who Mike is to go after him or something, and Spamton's just trying to not give info away. That is, IF Mike and Tenna aren't the same person. I can totally see Mike's full name being "Mike Tenna V (as in "the fifth")" or something, which would make his initials "M. T. V", which would be a nice pun. Not to mention it's slightly reinforced by the fact these initials kind of can be seen in the green room in the Doors and the shape of the antennas on the TVs

Yeah, this seems like the most likely answer. Mike is implied to have been Spamton's friend but who knows what lead to their split We just need to know how much we got right and what roles do these characters play lol ( are they the main antagonist, important side characters or something else? )

I think Spamton saying, "that cathode's crew" isn't about "cathode's crew" being a group name, but rather Spamton referring to the TV character (tenna imo, just based on the antennas in the tv) as a cathode, like a slur or insult or something. Pretty sure Spamton thinks Tenna is a ring leader here, and they hurt Mike somehow. My current theory: Mike helped Spamton be a big shot. Mike stopped helping Spamton for whatever reason. Whether Tenna is actually to blame or not, Spamton blames Tenna for this. Wouldn't be surprised is Mike was running a pyramid scheme or something, but it's also important to note that we saw a clear parallel to exactly how Mike left Spamton at the end of the sweepstakes in how Spamton G Spamton left Spamton A Spamton. Idk, it's a lot to think about lol

The impression I got was that Mike and Spamton were business partners and Tenna is the tv/crt/Cathode-Ray Tube character responsible for their separation and loss of business, and between the previewed gangster-type enemies and Spamton's response to inquiries about Mike, I suspect he's going to be a sort of mob boss who might still have it out for Spamton and/or Mike. Also I'm almost 80% sure Mike is going to be representative of radio adverts and this whole beef between the three is building up to a "Video killed the radio star" punchline.

Hmm, it makes me remember line on the neo fight *LET'S TURN THOSE [Shmoes and Daves] INTO [Rosen Graves] *THOSE [Cathode Screens] INTO [Cathode Screams] It seems like spamton wants revenge, which fits in really good with this theory

I'm just excited for the new dark world area. It's very obvious now that it'll be TV related, not just because of Spamton and Mike, but because of the new character and room reveals. Lots of motifs relating to weather forecasts, western/noir/etc movies, stages, etc.

Hey so i just realised that this is not the first time spamton refers to tv as cathode in particular. In the non wierd neo batle he says he’s gonna and i quote “turn those schmoes and dave’s into rosen graves, those cathode screens into cathode screams” showing a desire for revenge long before we learned it was not mike

Calling it now, Tenna is going to be another part the card family, specifically Lancer's Aunt Tenna. The puns have returned.

tenna antenna aunt tenna

TENNA COULD BE THE TV WHICH MEANS HES REFERRING TO TENNA WHEN HE SAYS CATHODE ALSO THE WORD “THAT” WOULD SIGNAL HES TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING IN POSSESSION OF SOMEONE THAT CATHODE’S CREW = TENNA’S CREW WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO REALIZES THIS?!?!? … sorry… just got a bit annoyed for a second i should be good now

good video. (also its pronounced cath-ode not cuh-thode)

tenna... ANtenna

Wowie, what an original theory😮 No but seriously, can’t blame you for thinking the same as almost everyone else, Toby pretty much spelled this one out for us😂 Great video❤
