When audiences saw Arya Starkplungeher Valyrian steel dagger into the Night King ’s stomach at the end of " The Long Night , " the third installment in season 8 ofGame of Thrones , it seemed a piddling too good to be true . Now a newfan theoryis questioning whether we ’ve really see the last of the Night King .
“ I believe the [ dark ] King was operate to give his sword to Bran and kneel just before he was stabbed , " Redditorlogicman101posted . " Azor Ahai is flirt out its vaticination and keep this , but it may not be yet over . I still believe Bran is the true [ Night King ] . ”
Bran Stark being the Night King is already a popular possibility , throw his role as the Three - Eyed Raven . The meeting of the two had the potential to unveil that Bran was the dead on target Night King , but Arya kill the Billie Jean Moffitt King before that could ever happen . The hypothesis goes on to suggest that “ in an approaching episode we may see some alternate reality diddle out in one of Bran ’s visions , where we see the Night King kneel to go along on whatever ability and deception is necessary to Bran . ”
“ The real Night King or the next in billet Night King ( Bran ) will probably be vote down by some knowledge Tyrion gathered during his conversation with Bran , ” according to the theory . “ I believe that panorama of Tyrion and Bran about to have a conversation sincerely foreshadowed something to occur , some knowledge Tyrion [ learned ] from Bran to shoot down him . ”
Though the actor who plays Bran Stark , Isaac Hempstead Wright , has calledthe musical theme that he ’s the Night King “ far - fetched , ” some fans are n’t buying the loose death of the undead rule . “ If this is truly the end of the wight and the White Walkers , it is a catastrophic dilapidation to entire story , ” the Redditor tell .
We ’re hopingGame of Thronescontinues to be irregular .
