WHAT is up with the CUBE? | The Dragon Prince 

Hay everyone! Thank you so much for watching! Do you guys have any more thoughts to the cube or some theory of what you think it is really for? Do you think it will be revealed next Season already, or will it need more build up? Any feedback is obviously greatly appreciated. I hope you enjoyed! Take Care.

I personally believe that the key is some kind of super powerful magic artifact (possibly a weapon), but the only being capable of wielding it is Aaravos himself. It’s possible that whatever the key does, it can only be truly activated by someone who knows all forms of primal magic.

Personally, I think the cube is the actual key to unlocking Aaravos's prison. With the Dragang chasing Claudia, I think the way Aaravos will be freed is through one connection to each primal source being present at all times. We currently have: Terry - Earth, Bait - Sun, Stella - Star, Xim - Sky, Rayla - Moon, and if we see a Ocean character introduced in the next season, that's going to be the confirmation to me.

Imagine if Aaravos has a bit of a prankster in him When he gets out,he just messes with people for the hell of it

In one of the books that explain a tiny bit more around Aaravos, it's stated that: as a "fallen" startouch elf, Aaravos can only access a fraction of his former power. Which makes me think about the star magic symbol on his chest. Notice how the center is dark and notice how the same symbol glow on the startouch elf in one of the scenes when Zubeia explains what Aaravos have done. It's most likely that the middle of his symbol is dark due to being a fallen star and only have access to fractions of his former power. So, when he escapes and had all his former power nothing would really stop him from instantly win. But since he doesn’t have access to all his former powers then he would need something to manage to fulfill his plans. Which would most likely be the Key Of Aaravos. This cube like key is said to be able to unlock great powers in Xadia, but who gave that information in the first place? Harrow? No, Harrow did not know how to use the key so the info must have been passed on for gnerations, which means the info was from cube’s original owner, Aaravos. Aaravos most likely know what the key is for and what it unlocks. And if it's true that it unlocks great powers in Xadia then I believe that Aaravos need this key to restore his former powers. I generally think that would make sense since that would prevent him from instantly win when he escapes and would also lead to more direct confrontations between the main characters/heroes and the antagonist/villain of the saga. Which then would give us the viewers an epic battle that may be equal to the one in the end of season 3 if not a better and more interesting one later on (most likely in season 6 if season 4,5 and 6 follows the footsteps and setup as season 1,2 and 3)

Remember, Ezran/Harrow/The orphan queen also had the key. It was first shown with the orphan queen.

Aaravos is such a cool character. His voice is cool. I just heard of this show 2 days ago and I just finished the entire season. It's really nice. Also I like your theory.

After watching the recent season, I believe the cube is something the girl who first discovered Aaravos' plots. Rex Igneous commented that Ezran looked a lot like her, and the Cube was originally found in Cullum and Ezran's toys, in season one. Likely Ezran is her descendant.

the fact that the conversation in the crystal labyrinth focused on how many of those star magic diamonds exist, maybe it's forshadowing for the key containing one or all of those diamonds

the same book said that when rolled on the ground the cube makes an arrow mark pointing in the same direction regardless of how do you roll it, maybe it points to aravos prision location, or a great relic that he had.

I’m sure Callum is gonna regret not destroying it later in the saga

I think Key of Aaravos is ''key'' to beings gettting arcanums they aren't born with. Aaravos himself is said to be archmage of all 6 primal sources. Also Callum is revealed to have sky arcanum after he and Zym ( an archdagon of element sky) got struck by a lightning (He had the cube with him during this if I remember correctly. Aaravos could have used the key to get all the arcanums other than star to be the sort of avatar of this world. He might also have assited creating human primal mages. Ezran called Callum the first human primal mage in CENTURIES. This supports other human primal mages existing before.

Here's a theory:' Maybe we need all 6 types of elves to find out what the key is we're just missing Tidbound elves

7:20 Yes. Those Were My Thoughts Exactly And That The Tidebound Elves Are Involved With Aaravos' Prison.

I think the key was a part of a project he was working on with humans and magic that remains incomplete. Aaravos has been shown to be incredibly patient and calculated when it comes to planning. He was literally pulling the strings behind important moments in history through humans by being the devil on your shoulder for a thousand years. He likely gave the key to the orphan queen so he could set things in motion for whatever he wants to do with future generations of her family. Maybe he wanted to gain the girl’s trust by giving her a unique source of power she could use to gain a higher rank among humans, allowing him to tend to the family like a garden and produce a powerful human kingdom he would have full access to. Katolis is a strong kingdom. If he wasn’t sent to mirror jail, he likely would have been very involved and well known in the land of humans. He would be trusted and admired, making it easy for him to find more targets without as much risk as he did when in Xadia. In this scenario, he could pretty much tell humans to do whatever he wants and they would do it cause he’s been there for them for centuries. The key could have been the groundwork that would guarantee his endless freedom to do whatever he wants with humans. He just needed to watch the girl’s family over the years. That never happened though and I bet he’s real mad about that, but I doubt that this was his only plan for the key. It remained within the girl’s family throughout the years and made its way to Callum, who had a real trippy dream involving it when he used dark magic. Ezran’s unique abilities with animals is also something worth noting here. Could it be because of how Ezran’s family was exposed to the key over centuries? This is a bit of a wild hunch but I think the key might be some sort of dark magic device that might have absorbed small bits of energy from the Katolis royal fam. While it’s using them to power up over the centuries, it is also able to use this energy to create abilities like the one Ezran has, without technically being magic. This give the family an advantage among other humans, while remaining undetected by Xadia since these abilities are more like weird adaptations rather than magic. Aaravos gets to charge his key up over time and Ezran’s fam gets cool powers. Why would Aaravos need to charge the key with dark magic? My best guess is that he plans on using the key when it’s all charged up to restore his star powers. He’s a fallen star after all. He’s weaker than the rest of his kind. We don’t know much about startouched elves besides the fact that they’re seen as divine and likely looked down on anyone outside of their species or arcanum. Aaravos might want to use the charged key to regain the power he lost and spite the rest of his people for taking it from him. This all seems really out there but think about it. Aaravos is vengeful and ready to throw hands over being locked up in mirror jail. Why wouldn’t he be angry at his people for taking most of his star powers and likely banishing him? Startouched elves are practically gods. To be a part of such a race and discarded like nothing would be devastating. A horrendous betrayal, and we all know how Aaravos feels about betrayal. Hope this makes sense and was at least fun to read if you think my theories here are too far fetched. I seriously do think that Aaravos has more beef with his kind than we could possibly imagine though and I think it’s worth discussing. This route would also be an awesome way to conclude the show and a nice excuse to see what startouched elves are like.

This is random, but there's definitely another character involved that we haven't actually met. They're pictured in the flashback when they're trapping Aaravos - the character is in the lower left with their back turned to the audience. In the end credits of the same episode, that character is in one of the sketches - you can tell by the sleeves of their outfit. They wear glasses and have a necklace full of keys. Considering the cube is called a key itself, the mystery character's necklace of keys, the Key of Aaravos being found with a bunch of other keys, and in Callum's dark magic dream he woke up on a pile of keys... there's something big going on with that character, and could likely be the 'key' to the two big questions - what does the key of Aaravos unlock, and how could Aaravos be freed?

We actually see in previous seasons that every time someone drops the cube on a table/the ground, it leaves 3 grooves pointing in a certain direction. Where is it leading to? 🤷‍♂️ But it is definitely pointing somewhere not ’allegedly’

My theory (before having watched the video) is that the Cube is Aaravos' true prison (in some pocket dimension), and the one marked on the tooth map is just another clue to to true location Edit: Ah Maybe it's the Key to Aaravo's prison? (But still with how s4 plot went, it's also possible they used his own Key to imprison him and indeed having all runes glow will unlock his prison). Maybe giving the key to the humans was the last clue, since likely no one would presume a human would hold the key to the prison/the prison itself.

The cube can make you a new master of all six primal sources

We know that the cube lights up when a side is matched with the correct arcanum. I think that the cube is the key to unlock aaravos prison. When Callum did dark magic, the cube had the dark magic symbols in his dream thing. So callum has to be the one holding/using the cube and all six sides have to be lit at once. (Sorry if this didn’t make a lot of sense)

Personally, I believe Aaravos is somewhere in the Sea of Castouts. Possibly guarded by a group of ocean dragons? I imagine all sides of the cube must glow then you have to put it in a slot somewhere to free him.

Its called “Aaravos’ key” I believe myself its the key to his prison. Or maybe it is his prison. His body and mind could be separated, the cube could hold or be a doorway to his body and Kellum could be un intentionally freeing him.

I agree with your theory, as I also think that the Key of Aaravos was one of the gifts given to humans with the other one being Viren's staff. It honestly kind of reminds of of this one myth about the August Star of Heaven that was said to give humanity two swords. Even though it's an Eastern myth rather than a Western one, think it is still possible the creators may have gotten some inspiration from it as they also worked on Avatar.

nooo that aaravos cube prison theory gave me jjk flashbacks…

Would be a interesting plot twist if the key was the actual prison

My headcannon is that the key unlocks a treasury/vault of primal stones. Since it makes sense for aravos to have them

Great video fellow hooman! I really dig all the whoosh sound effects! :D

I also used to believe he was trapped in the cube. But he told Viren he was looking for something, I think that's the cube. In one of your videos, you said he likes to manipulate humans, so I think this cube is something he gave to humans as a sort of secret weapon he could use in case he was betrayed. He hasn't seen the cube yet, Aaravos doesn't know where it is (I think), but maybe that's the key to freeing him, or that's what he needs to free himself

Aaravos is a master of all magic so it opens in the presence of all magic

Its possible that to capture a master of all primal powers, you need all primal powers. Spoiler alert! We know there are not very much star beings. They already said they are very rare. It's possible there were no star beings to capture him so they needed to use something from a star being, with aaravos as the only option himself. We also know that every dragon was given one part to find the dragon. Zym's dad the mirror, that earth dragon a card. Ezra's grandmother was the one who found out of the truth of Aaravos and stopped a war because of that truth. Maybe they wanted to make sure, one of the parts to find Aaravos wouldn't be in Xadia and they gave her the key so all the parts would never be together again. I think Ezra's over over grandmother (don't know the word haha) was the only human they could trust. Ar at least believe they could trust. Maybe it's really the key to his prison. They made it the key when they captured him.

I enjoyed this video when it came out and I would really like to see an updated version of it now that season 5 is out and we know where he’s located!

I think the cube is a weapon and when all sides glow together by one human-elve it will freed power stronger even than the Zim s Also about the temple in xandia, in one of the books (bloodmoon huntress) the monster lives in one of these so I guess maybe these two have a connection?

Watch the cube be something crazy like a gateway to the star Nexus, the source of Aaravos’ ability to control all the primal, the source of dark magic.

I got a theory listening to this that maybe if the cube is the prison of Aaravos needs a spell that uses ALL 6 primal sources. Or maybe the cube channels a spell like that to free Aaravos?

Yo you are growing so quickly love the vids

What if the cube is the actual key to Aaravos prison. The dragons and elves entrusted the cube to the human girl. For without her Aaravos may never have been inprisioned

Just maybe... It's the key to unlock the arcanums

The key of aravos is the key to aravos's prison.

Aaravos is the Hellraiser confirmed

this channel is underrated

I think it's for something else entirely, something we haven't seen before.

Literally just subscribed to you a few minutes ago and suddenly you show up in my timeline

I think that inside the cube is a quasar diamond (gem with star magic)thats why it's the key of aaravos. It holds one of the strongest objects in the universe

one thing is for sure. lighting up all sides would do something.

Maybe it has something in it.What can Defeat elbows

If one were to ask me i would say that the cube can somehow in theory help a being to connect to one or more of the primal sources of magic. After all to use a primal source one has to understand its arcanum. And which better way to do so then by observation of those beings or things that have a strong connection to said arcanum.

It looks like a harrow had the cube from the orphan queen who maybe she and Aaravos were friends at one point before she and him had a fallout. Because the story of how he found an interest from a simple apple from someone who gave it to him. As for the cube it could be a gate to opening the door for other primordial beings similar to Aaravos beings who are beyond this universe waiting to get out. Or it could be the key to finding the source of the primal magic it raw source. Or another thing is it’s the key to finding a seventh magic

I think it is the key to unlocking the secret of primal source magic

it may be the key of aaravous but it unlocks great power so harrow believed callum can accese that cue so if he can then he can use the power of the cube to defeat aaravous. but for know oviously aarravous knows what it can do

I don’t understand why a human having it proves that it existed while aaravos before he was trapped. Did I miss something ?

Great video, keep em coming :)

Maybe reveal Aaravos’s staff?

1:00 As a cuber i am greatly offended Lol

(post season 5) If the creature: Stella - has portal magic. Then that stands to reason, that primal star-magics have to do with dimension-twisting, teleportation or portal making. Which is why Aaravos's was imprisoned probably. He could be anywhere, as anyone. What if... reaching too high through the firmament of the stars the (7th source) was brought back... and as a fallen star. Just as Viren was corrupted and possessed by Aaravos. Perhaps Aaravos is not entirely who it seems - pulling the strings.

I assume its how you open the prison, needs magic of all types to work as a key.

I think he is in it ! Is the cube like hell raiser ?

I feel like Aarsvos’s prison is in the cube

i think is the key to connect with all arcanums without been destroied by a power overload

Its the Key to a book that belonged to Aaravos

I too don't think it's the key to free aaravos, if such was the case, sparklepuff would have led claudia to Callum first before going after the earth dragon unless aaravos already anticipated that there will be no need since they are going to meet at his prison the same time which knowing the writers they could resort to that

I think Callum will play an important roll in defeating Aaravos if/when he finds out what it unlocks. Since the sky mage is dead, the theory on all the primal characters might actually include Callum. However, it might take just as many mages to take Aaravos down. The key of Aaravos might actually contain something other than Aaravos’s prison, like a weakness of his. The reason why he would keep it in the hands of humans is that they’re the least likely to find the weakness, because they were banished from Xadia and essentially owe Aaravos for their magic. In addition to that, Aaravos has the world wrapped around his finger, especially Callum. On the other hand the cube can unlock the ability to end the world or manipulate all magical creatures, the humans can do nothing but cower in fear because they would be overwhelmed. After he has it all, he world punish everyone who ever stood in his way including the queen of the dragons and Zim. The reason why he didn’t use the cube before was because he’s like a cat who plays with his meal. Anyway that’s my opinion.😊

I may be off on this one but what if the key of Aaravos is a tool he used to transfer or steal Arcanum from different species? What if it's a device he was planning to use to power up the humans whom he'd use as puppets to take over the world? Maybe it's just something he used on himself? After all, how is he a master of all the elements? Could this cube have something to do with it?

my brother and I think theres a quasar diamond the key and thats what gives it power ._. idk it’s random but a fun idea not exactly related but fun regardless

I believe what you said about to keep human interested in magic, so they could become his prey is true. I mean it’s working for Callum, is it not?

It’s called a key and the symbols glow when they’re near magic so here’s my little theory a long time ago when all the elf’s yes even the star touched elf’s had some form of alliance or agreement and they locked up something and it can only be unlocked when at least one of each types of elf’s are at a specific place with the cube and we know aaravos is really old and devious so he probably stole it or tricked someone or someone’s to get it and after several years the knowledge of the cube was pretty much lost to time and sense he taught humans dark magic he probably gave them the cube or he lost it after he was sealed away or right before or maybe he hid it and it just eventually was found by humans anyway there it is my theory what do you think I mean I think it makes sense it’s possible that I’m a least somewhat right

Key of aaravos might imply that it will unlock a secret of his since knowledge is power

Maybe it is a key to understanding all the types of Magic?

How you described the box it sounds like some Lament Configuration Box copy but not in a horror movie

Why would he give it to humans? It's implied that he had his hands in many things relating to humans elves dragons etc. Yet he is especially known for working with humans. But why? Sure there's some general discord and chaos but if that was the only motivation then he wouldn't be associated with humans anymore than elves or dragons. It seems like there was a special relationship with humans. Why?

I believe Aravos is trapped in a whole different dimension and that if you can make all sides glow it will release him or Stella is a descendant of Aravos or She has the power to make a portal to Aravos or maybe Stella can use the cube to free Aravos or if anyone with the cube will set Aravos free or the cube can just open the prison Aravos is in it is called the key of Aravos or stella will beat Aravos in a battle or have something to beat him could Stella have something to do with Aravos could they be enemies from long ago but the one thing we know is Aravos will escape and Callum Claudia and Virin will help but in they end Aravos will be defeated.I feel like Aravos is trapped in the place between life and death or there might be a connection of the primal nexus maybe he is in the star nexus probably Claudia Virin and Terry might have to use the power of the ruin the moon lady is protecting

Maybe the soul of queen Aditi is in the key 😂

a theory i have is that one of the rare star crystals (forgetting the name right now) is in it

I think it may be activated by all sources of magic at once (bc Sara is could do that?)

Love The Dragon Prince.

I don't like how the history of Aaravos was given to us, it was all tell and not show.

What if the cube alows who ever has it to some how use all 6 primal sources like aravose

I think it's a quantum diamond.

My theory at the right time in the right place when all 6 sides glow arravos can be freed that's why humans have it thay don't have magic at all so 👍🏼

I wish they would Finishes the Dragon Prince what they started the right way and not cut it like people have done in the pass.

haven't you understood it? its the ring from lord of the rings

Imagine recommending season 4...

Im from the future, its the aaravos prison 😂

So aaravos is in a prison made by the ancient primal mages . so what if hes at the star nexus and they didnt make the prison but made a portal to it

How is it aaravos? Key of aaravos it could be something else 👿💨

watch as inside the cube its the Corona of the heavens the crown that has all 3 quasar diamonds

Im 100% sure it's Aaravos's prison

I have a VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION, and the question is: What are these islands bellow the spinning sea, and bellow place named THE DRAGON TAIL in human kingdoms, what are these islands? EDIT: I've asked many TDP youtubers about this, and NO ONE answerd, so I hope YOU will answer, or just try, or just see this comment

If Luna tenebris the Queen of the dragons and solragen is the king is he zyms grandfather
