top 10 battle cats facts to keep you up at night (scientists HATE #7!)

the end of ul is soon so there's no time like the present to make a theory that will get outdated almost immediately

the masked/doron tribe settles in the ancient forest labyrinth a couple thousand years ago. they wear masks infused with the power of ancient gods.

at some point, urs visits the ancient forest and meets doron. the tribe decides that they're worthy of a mask of their own and they become the guardian of the ancient forest. (they also found the warrior clan which uril, yulala, and ururun are descended from.)

emperor cat, the head of the cat empire, finds the ancient forest and sees the masked tribe. he becomes greedy for the power that is in the masks and wants to harness it at any cost. the masked tribe believes he will become corrupt if granted this power, so they deny him.

emperor cat begins trying to concentrate power in a pandimensional crystal. what is a pandimensional crystal? idk lol. the power of the crystal allows him to tame wild cats, and he eventually fosters and raises the cat empire to greatness. (emperor cat LR desc)

the cat empire becomes good friends/trade partners with the nearby doge empire, and they have a casual allyship.

emperor cat is still greedy for more power, and keeps returning to the ancient forest. the pandimensional crystal begins consuming parts of his soul (again, from emperor cat LR desc)

he becomes more and more of a tyrant (to the point where he tries to manipulate his daugher, princess cat, into making a deal with the aku to harness their power)

the doge empire decides they have to take action, so they wage war against the cat empire. they ally with the masked tribe and other relic enemies to fight the cats. the cat empire, struggling with both a corrupt ruler and powerful enemies, slowly but surely lose ground.

a small group of cats realize that there's no possibility of the cats winning, so they conspire to bring their last hope - princess cat - to a secret haven safe from the battle and begin a new cat kingdom. for a while, this new cat "kingdom" prospers, while far away the original cat empire is fighting a losing war and their emperor is killed.

during her research into the aku, princess cat is possessed, becoming the possessed empress. she opens the gates of aku, allowing them to invade the overworld.

the subjects of the new cat kingdom reunite with the original empire, now beset on all sides by the doge army, relics, and aku.

a group of researcher cats attempt to create the ultimate superweapon using bioengineering and create awakened bahamut cat. he promptly destroys the doge army and relics, but is fatally injured in the process of killing relic bun bun, the doge army's own attempt at bioengineering.

there's one last thing that the cats forgot about though, which is the aku and the lord of ruin jagando (also known as the demon king). by this point, both the cat and doge empire are destroyed, and there are few survivors left.

jagando kills the empress, but at the last moment, master uril, a member of urs' clan, fights off jagando and banishes him back to the aku realms. the site of their battle becomes the aku altar's seal (UL 39). he came to reside in the heavenly tower, waiting until the cats would find him again.

the remaining cats flee, dispersing around the world. some choose to be taken in by humans for protection, eventually becoming domesticated. although the species of cats recovers as a whole, the stories that the original members of the cat empire passed down to their children are eventually forgotten. the same happens with the doges.

in the modern day, cats and dogs are sentient, but completely unaware of their past or the history behind their rivalry.

on december 31st 2020 (according to the AC song), something(?) signals to the cats in japan. they begin amassing and preparing for war.

the rest is told through the EOC campaign. the cat army begins invading other countries, and other cats from different countries join them along the way.

at the end of their campaign, the cats find bahamut cat's carcass orbiting the moon, because somehow it was tossed out into orbit after he died. don't ask me i don't know

they manage to revive his soul, but only have the ability to give him a restrictive vessel, which is crazed bahamut.

we all know what happens next, they build a time machine and see that aliens have invaded the world, so they conquer the world in the future too. at the end of the ITF campaign, they find that the aliens have the technology to bring bahamut cat back to his original form. while trying to restore him, the technology malfunctions and bahamut cat is corrupted. (ITF ch 3 moon) the cats manage to get him under control and return him to his normal state.

around the ITF campaign, the cats also use the time machine to travel to 20 years in the past, aka stories of legend. they fight and recruit ururun, catdam, mina, and musashi

at the end, they discover the laboratory of relics, where a guild of researchers associated with the doge army have been trying to revive relic bun bun, which became mecha bun.

the cat army find another time machine in the laboratory, and travel back to thousands of years ago, to the era of the uncanny legends. this is shortly after the destruction of the original cat/doge empires, where relic enemies have overrun their territories.

here, they encounter remnants of the empires, such as dogumaru, urs, doron, etc. the cats begin to realize that they have a past, but they're not aware that there was an entire empire before them yet.

after encountering the aku altar's seal in UL, the cats accidentally broke it and opened the gates to the aku realm, where they fought jagando jr again. they were successful against the aku this time.

the ancient egg units are also from around this time. idi specifically was ancient egg n002, but the relic enemies took her for further testing and engineering and planned to turn her into a spy. eventually she went rogue and escaped through the time machine back to the era of SOL, where she was found in the laboratory of relics. (no one actually knows who she's allied with, even now.)

no one's REALLY noticed anything, but sometimes gamatoto finds green crystals while on expeditions, and uril has an unusual familiarity with the places in the UL era, and doron and idi don't like each other. but no one has connected the dots (yet).

sooooo what's next? no idea. maybe ponos will give us a clear answer to the lore, or maybe they were just fucking with us the entire time and they don't know what they're doing either? either way i'm looking forward to ul48 and let's just hope it's not behemoths.

inspirations: doron tribe pandimensional crystals emperor cat / the demon king

#the battle cats #i am so normal about this game.#sorry if it's not really understandable lol i kind of assume familiarity with the flavor text for all the cats here lol #and also familiarity w other popular fan theories #mine

Look at the way Spencer’s licked his lips, they’ve been planning this stunt behind everyone’s back for a WEEK

& they verbatim told each other “and then we’re gonna skip away into the sunset”
