The Prison Break

[u/Upstairs_Tourist2478]

Just wanna hear people’s thoughts on how it’s gonna go down.

If we look at the team we have currently, for me personally it’s a 50/50 chance of success with everyone leaving.

The Warden’s ability is going to be a hindrance to Isen (and Remi depending on the Warden’s level) at the very least. He was able to subdue 4 different inmates at once, one of whom was a high tier, so we can assume at the very least that the warden is a high tier, possibly a god tier considering he’s in charge of keeping inmates in line.

Kuyo will be fine, unless multiple members of Ember were to turn up. He would’ve been a deadman if the bureau knew that his level was higher than it was on paper, as they would’ve sent someone other than Brims to deal with it I suspect. If the Bureau were to send Valerie to the prison, the only way Kuyo and Remi makes it out is if John and Seraphina deal with her before she can get to them.

Seraphina will be somewhat fine as she can rewind her damage, and is stronger than any character we’ve been introduced to so far in terms of level. Her ability is near impossible to deal with, and the only person we have seen do somewhat significant damage to her in a fight is Valerie/Volcan.

Isen is unfortunately cooked in any scenario that involves a fight, my boy just isn’t strong enough to deal with the higher tiers. The warden alone can deal with Isen based on what we saw with Blyke, so I don’t even need to mention the other bureau members. I doubt he’s going to go into the prison though, more of a scout from the outside with his ability.

Remi can do damage with assistance from others, but in a straight 1 vs 1 against any member of Ember, she’s cooked just as much as Isen (no pun intended).

And last but not least John. The wildcard. The Joker. Tuesday. He will certainly be a game changer in the fights to come, but if he hasn’t got his hands on a healing ability, it’s wraps for him in a sustained fight (unless he copies Time Manipulation), but considering he’s never used Seraphina’s ability and likely won’t understand it immediately, unless he trains with it before the prison break, he’s going to be brought down eventually. The Authorities will not pass up an opportunity to get their hands on another Aura Manipulator, and if they discover that John is there during the break, I can see them sending in the big guns.

This is all circumstantial to how fast they find Blyke, who gets sent to deal with the prison break on the Authorities end, whether or not they know about the aura sensors, and whether John gets his hands on a healing ability.

The authorities are not going to just lie down and let them break Blyke out of prison. And I have a feeling a huge battle is going to ensue, and that not everyone is going to make it out unscathed.

Let me know your thoughts though, don’t forget to spoiler tag if you’ve got theories based from the latest fast pass episode, I have read it, but left out details from it to allow everyone to give their opinions on how this prison break will go down.

I mean, logically they'd want to keep fighting to a minimum. The best plan would be to just have John copy Hunter, Lightning, and Time Manipulation then zip around the prison using Time Manipulation and Lightning to short out the Aura Sensors before they detect him. Hunter should make finding Blyke easy and then he can just bust out. Sera would go with him as support.

The rest would remain outside with Isen using Hunter to keep track of John. If an issue happens, Kuyo and Remi could cause a commotion to distract guards.

Of course that's all assuming they don't just have Kayden around who'd make the entire prison break exponentially easier.

[u/Upstairs_Tourist2478 → u/N-ShadowFrog]

This is dependent on whether they know about the sensors, which as far as we know, they don’t. As soon as they activate their abilities the sensors will go off and everyone will be onto them. This also depends on whether John can actually copy time manipulation. We’ve had no indication that he could copy it, and he’s never used it before, so unless he trains with it in the next couple of episodes, it’s unlikely he copies TM. I don’t think everyone is making it out honestly. Too many things that can go wrong, and people seem to think that they’re just going to be able to go in and out. Authorities are not going to let Blyke go that easily, they plan to execute him for his knowledge if Keon can’t break him.

[u/czareson_csn → u/Upstairs_Tourist2478]

well, it's not like he was ever in a situation where he could copy time manipulation

[u/N-ShadowFrog → u/Upstairs_Tourist2478]

Isen has arguably the most complex ability in UnO so far and John mastered it in like a minute.

[u/New_Weird8988 → u/N-ShadowFrog]

Yeah X ray vision and strength is soo much more complex than literally controlling time or minds

[u/The8Famous-Potatos → u/N-ShadowFrog]

Yes but it’s mentioned how higher the level and more unique an ability is, how harder it is for John to copy. (It also takes more Aura to copy a higher level ability iirc, but I’m not entirely sure about this)

Isen isn’t that high level, and there’s a possibility there’s also others with a similar ability that John was able to practice with. It’s mentioned John researched and practiced a ton of abilities during his time with Claire (by using video content of battles and whatnot), so maybe even one of Isen’s relatives could have showed up in those. Time manipulation however, is way too OP to show up in content like that (I don’t think the family bothers with those things), and even if there was sufficient footage, they’re so fast you wouldn’t be able to see what they’re doing at all. There’s no way John could have had a chance to research or practice with that ability, hence, it will be way more difficult for him to use it. I would love to see him practicing it though, and Sera teaching him some basics, just like he taught her some combat moves.

I don't think it makes any sense for them all to even go. It should just be John and Sera. John should copy Kayden's teleportation ability, go in with just Sera and she can easily use her time powers to search for Blyke and then they all teleport out.

But instead of that, I predict that they all go together and successfully manage to sneak around and find Blyke but then they get trapped because Blyke has been brainwashed enough that he attacks John on sight and sets off the alarms. Cameron then probably sees it on the news and comes to save them.

[u/N-ShadowFrog → u/holgazanear]

Why would the Authorities publicly declare a prison break in real time on the news?

[u/holgazanear → u/N-ShadowFrog]

I don't know. Prison walls exploding. Chaos afoot. All it takes is for a couple locals to start making videos and it's a news story or at least going viral.

[u/N-ShadowFrog → u/holgazanear]

Remember the Authorities have control over the news networks. Doubt they'd allow an in time report on one of their facilities. They'd probably wait until it was over then give the news sites a spin that makes them look good.

[u/holgazanear → u/N-ShadowFrog]

Fair point.

I do think the breakout will go wrong though, just for the sake of drama and it'd be a good way to bring Cameron back into the story. It was wasted potential to have someone that literally works as an ability specialist and then not train the main characters to better use their abilities.

[u/N-ShadowFrog → u/holgazanear]

I mean, they could always just have Cameron appear via being competent.

Like the prison raid goes fowl, they're all surrounded by guards, then suddenly they're back in Cameron's house. He then appears out of nowhere and explains he just copied a teleport, an invisibility, and an intangibility ability to bust Blyke out himself after his contacts got him the location.

Would be a good way to show Cameron is still a highly skilled ability user who knows what he's doing but still flawed since he didn't bother explaining the situation to John.

[u/Croaki_Gensai → u/holgazanear]

It's probably best if they don't use teleportation too much in front of the Authorities. If they catch John using it they'll know he copied it from someone,  and they'll pretty quickly put two and two together and realize it's the roommate of one of the guys they're already after.

[u/fiphew]

I’m actually really interested to see how this will go first of all the fight won’t be like their school fights it will be a lot more strategic and serious i like how the authority is actually smart and know what they’re doing im pretty sure they made all the arrangements for the gang and will give them a very hard time we might see some new abilities and john copying them. as the season just started i dont think they will be able to free blyke and another big event will happen nevertheless the prison break will be AWESOME and im here for itt

[u/DarkShadowBlaze]

John's passive can analyse abilities and he saw Sera uses it more then enough times, he won't have any problems using her ability once he copies it. With Sera's ability on top, Isen and Remi's all amped no one is beating John. What you have to keep in mind that the way Sera's ability works his speed stat from Remi should stack/multiplied by it since John in time freeze or acceleration would still have the lightning speed boost.

[u/SanguineRoseMun]

I agree with you mostly I'd just like to point out if John and Sera pushed to get access to Kayden's ability (not asking him to risk himself for the mission, just show up before it so John can copy) this whole thing could be a lot safer even if they failed. I hope Kuyo contacts him separately, even if it's just transport to lovun.

[u/czareson_csn]

logically, john can get a teleport ability, teleport sera there along with the crew (copy time manipulation as well as isens ability, if he can do the time manipulation, quickly find blyke, take him, and teleport out)

[u/Responsible-Net7401]

Adding this keon in the last scene seemed like a turning point and if keon decides to sabotage ember he could call kass and the latter could be useful to help discreetly

[u/XxSERAPHIxX]

Knowing Uru and how she likes to give characters a lot of struggles in such events, I'll say that we will get pretty unexpected turn that will be bad/good (or will end up badly/fine) with more or less 80/20 ratio

[u/czareson_csn → u/XxSERAPHIxX]

I think this will go well, simply because our protags didn't get a huge W in a while, I think they need to successfully get Blyke back, could be a good way to make them find out that something happend to Arlo if he ends up being present there

[u/XxSERAPHIxX → u/czareson_csn]

I hope you're right. But hope for best, prepare for worst

[u/czareson_csn → u/XxSERAPHIxX]

I just don't see John and sera together losing to anyone that may be present there, like if all the ember agents would be present, I still think John and Sera would win, or would get away

[u/XxSERAPHIxX → u/czareson_csn]

I don't look at unO lore, I try to predict plot that Uru might prepare for us. So my expectations are based on observing what plot stuff Uru does most often

[u/providerofair → u/czareson_csn]

Because we havent got a w im inclinded to think we're still in the L phase.

We need to establish the authorities as a proper threat

[u/czareson_csn → u/providerofair]

I think this will be a W with some other consequences, basically I think they'll just nearly do it, possibly with Cameron intervening
