The " Michael has found peace with a child he finally did manage to protect" is so poetic, I love it

I’m not ashamed to say I’ve become weirdly obsessed with Glamrock Freddy. His “Way to go, superstar!” line is so endearing, and I love how he’s both cute, yet terrifying when you call for him and for that split second you mistake him for one of the other animatronics

This is undoubtedly the most wholesome fnaf game to ever exist

couldn't gregory just sleep till 6am in a spot hidden from everyone? he can wake up at 6am setting an alarm on his fazwatch and could then leave like a boss

9:09 There was one dialogue of Freddy that went like "We are not capable of harming guests" but since Gregory does not have a record, identifying him as not a guest, the animatronics were capable of harming him.

The part when Gregory says "why" and freddy says "i dont know" when helping him makes so much more sense now, because Gregory looks exactly like Michaels brother who he accidentally killed, and now deep down inside as freddy he wants to help and or make up for what he did to his brother and do good for once since he basically started the ENTIRE fnaf franchise because his dad wanted to bring ppl back from the dead seeing his son die 🤯

The Michael-ghost theory is an interesting one! My general impression was that the robots' "corrupted" behaviors are built off of their original programmed personalities that we don't see in the game. -Freddy, by this point, likely has several layers of failsafe protocols to ensure that he adores and protects everyone around him, especially children. Freddy's "corrupted" self is just chaotic enough to straight up steal a child, and break every rule in the book in order to keep it safe and happy. As such, he essentially becomes more self-aware by having his internal restrictions removed, and possibly also by gaining pieces of his friends' code to become someone new. He flips pretty quickly from scolding Gregory for doing something unsafe to eagerly carrying the kid around and bypassing security systems on his behalf. When hacked to the point of potentially attacking Gregory, Freddy straight up chooses violence against Afton. -Roxy is hardwired to be competitive, and at points you see her talking to 'herself' in the same way Vanessa was said to in the CDs. That seems to be Afton fostering a sense of insecurity while also pretending to be a reassuring voice in her head. Roxy treats the hunt for Gregory like a contest with her entire self-worth at stake. (Though to be fair, a competitive robot that also has to defer to children was likely going to snap eventually.) -Monty's lines indicate he was probably not the brightest (You can hide, but you can't hide!), while also having a "bad boy" attitude, making him easier to corrupt and prone to going full villain mode. He likely started out as a loveable, but snarky, meathead that modeled corporate-approved rebelliousness. -Chica's pretty much just Chica, though the conflicting protocols to push junk food sales while saying the opposite result in a corrupted Chica going "Screw this; I'll eat whatever I want," in addition to going along with what Afton (And maybe Roxy?) want to do. In a weird way, she has a stable sense of self similar to Freddy, as she pursues her own wants to an extreme degree after being infected. It's probably not a coincidence that she's the one remaining original band member besides Freddy Fazbear; unlike Freddy, Chica isn't protected by being the face of the brand, but she IS consistent, and thus avoided being replaced. -Sundrop may or may not even feel the effects of the virus, given his dual nature. He was probably always kind of a lot, and has the same child-protector core persona. He does appear aware of the virus and desperate to keep his alter ego at bay, even kicking Gregory out of the daycare instead of attacking him. (Though he does alert the more dangerous robots if Gregory goes near the entrance after that point.) Moondrop is clearly infected, becoming dangerously obsessed with enforcing naptime. They both become irrationally obsessed with cleaning up messes, too. -Map bot just wants you to take the damb map already.

Dude there is so much about the fnaf franchise I don't know about, I wish I had the capability of putting everything together like all these guys do

Im still baffled at how far this franchise has gone. I remember when there was just the first two, simple point and click games with very limited mechanics, graphics, story, and interactions. Now look at it, fully free roam, voice acting, actual characters with development. If this came out back when I was 100% invested in the franchise I would've literally died and went to heaven. Scott did a good job taking care of this franchise, and considering how this game turned out, I'm sure steel wool will do the same

Honestly, this game has serious post-game potential, wouldn't it be kind of funny to be able to go around the Pizzaplex afterward when the Animatronics aren't being set to go after you? Kind of able to hang out and see what they're like since they have full on personalities?

I appreciate you for putting all of this together and offering your interpretation of the story. All of it makes sense to me, and definitely helps me understand a lot better. Thanks again!

For those of you who seem lost on Gregory's backstory the one star ending suggests he is homeless and orphaned. It would explain his resourcefulness and why Vanny had targeted him in the first place. That may be Vanny's choice of victim since sadly they would be the easiest to grab and get away with.

Michael couldn’t save the other kids from his father. But he could save Gregory. And now he gets a second chance at life as Freddy.

Something I noticed is that none of the endings are what I would call a a fully "Good" ending, mainly because something is always left wrong in each one and I would say its a pretty bold move to have no definitively good ending. Not only is this good insurance that the story and series can go on regardless of the ending, its also some of the truest horror you can get in that there's always something left behind that keeps it from being a true happy ending. -The ending where Gregory escapes alone is probably the worst, nothing has changed or even really been impacted and he's caught in the end anyway. -Escaping with Freddy is similar, Afton is still down below and still capable of finding a means of escape, Vanessa is still trapped, and the only difference being that Gregory and Freddy really do escape this time. -The Afton ending is perhaps the most conclusive on its own, as Afton's final vestiges are cut off at the source and this hopefully spells the end of the glitch, but Vanessa is still trapped with only Freddy and Gregory escaping, and who knows what might happen to her now that she's both trapped in the game and cut off from her puppet master. -The Fire ending is a bit worse, the Pizzaplex is destroyed, Vanessa and Freddy are killed, and Gregory escapes, but once again Afton is left down below and perfectly capable of starting again once the systems are rebuilt, especially considering how they like to reuse old parts. -The Bad Vanny ending falls in line pretty similarly to the Fire ending, Vanessa and Freddy dead, Gregory escapes, Afton is left behind, and the Pizzaplex will reopen or a new location will come along. -The Good Vanny ending may seem like the best overall with our main cast all being freed and escaping together, but there's still the issue of that big rotting rabbit in the room, because Vanessa being free doesn't guarantee that any of this is over.

Its really well explained! On a few endings I was a little confused before and now I understood it all clearly xP thank you!

For me, the most terrifying part of security breach has to be just how...human the animatronics are. They don't have pre-programmed dialogue that they just spew out, they interact and converse. They have emotions, even insecurities. Roxy is seen multiple times talking to herself in the mirror, sometimes to cheer herself up, sometimes the opposite. Freddy himself is kind to Gregory, but what hit me most was the fact that he grieved for Bonnie. I know other animals grieve and its not something unique to humans, but the way he does it, by avoiding places that remind him of Bonnie and how much he missed him, is so undeniably a human thing. Chica and Monty had much less exploration done, but I'm sure future dlcs will rectifiy this. What made them scary in the other fnaf games is that they were almost human, but not quite. In this one, if it wasn't for their physical appearance, they would be nearly hard to distinguish from a normal person. And honesty, that's what scared me most.

This game was one heck of a journey, and all the endings have some way they can fit into the fnaf timeline especially one ending with are favorite rotting robot rabbit corpses returning

this is a great video, and it clarified a lot of things for me! i found that the endings just gave me a million more questions without answering any of the ones i had from the game's plot, but you really put them together in an understandable way. i also had no idea the older sibling from fnaf4 was part of the whole afton mess; i guess i need to watch more of your videos!

Dude this explained a LOT to me. Thanks SO MUCH! You deserve more support but be happy anyways

I feel extra bad for removing Roxy’s eyes. She doesn’t get powered down or become completely broken. She just gets run over, then we remove her eyes, blinding her while just letting her run around aimlessly while crying

Numerically, it makes sense that Michael's inside Freddy. Say, that during the whole ordeal with the Bite 83 he was 13, he would have been born in the 70s. Meaning that in whichever year the events of Security Breach are happening, he is truly at dad age range. Which ties in nicely with Freddy's fatherly attitude and the constant need to adhere to rules (since not following them and bullying his younger brother caused the entire franchise)

YOU ARE SO CALMING TO LISTEN TO. I remember you from little nightmares 2 videos oh my god. keep up the good work

"William may always come back, but he rarely manages to stay for very long." That line was perfection. lol

Like some others said, the Afton ending feels like the most definitive and vindicating ending. But I like the Saving Vanessa ending most because it feels the most conclusive with regards to Security Breach's story

I prefer to believe that rather than being controlled by another soul Freddy is actually the only animatronic functioning as intended. His likability giving us a window into why the franchise has managed to persist in universe. Functioning as intended the animatronics are actually incredibly charming and would never allow a child to come to harm.

Two things, the characters are actually called sun and moon, I saw that the other day. Two, I think the sm duo is likely affected by the virus same as all the others and simply manifested the dysfunctional personality traits that afton causes (ie. chica, from enthusiastic foodie to eating disorder deranged impulsive killer robot, etc.) both into becoming extremes of his own psychological profile, like the other robots, but also of displacing it into his two sides. Sun is likely not that unhinged when in a normal state, we can see he genuinely cares about children and taking care of them but the corruption leads him to be hyperactive, lacking impulse control (similar to adhd), unable to read social cues and with acute signs of ocd. He is also well aware of the darker side of his personality that is displaced into his counterpart, Moon. This separation gives him the opportunity to have a degree of consciousness whereby he is able to realize, at least regarding his darker side, that it is dangerous and not what it’s supposed to be, which explains his dismayful insistence to keep the lights ON ON ON.

Yes Michael Afton (Or Mike Schmidt or Fritz Smith as was his aliases in the first and second games) is back! I suppose he really did end up in an animatronic after all. Also love that Glitchtrap is surrounded by purple mist, nice touch really indicated that he was William Afton.

When Freddy says “it is time to end this” That actually clues to Freddy being Michael because ever since he killed his brother he has been wanting to stop the company from making anymore pizza places because he wanted children to be safe

2:40 Reason why Freddy doesn't kill like the other animatronics is that "SAFE MODE" prevents It from doing a normal task and puts the animatronic into free-roaming / friendly interaction similar with white lights working joe's then the red light ones.

There is a tremendous deal of supposition here, but also some good logical analysis. Good work!

Gregory is tragic. I wonder if there are more kids like him

Something about the idea of Michael being in Freddy makes me smile. And if that is the case I wonder if part of the reason he helps Gregory is because he sees his younger brother in him? Even though there’s a clear difference in C.C.’s personality and Gregory’s they are both kids who might’ve been around the same age. On top of that Gregory looks just like his brother.

it's also worth pointing out: due to the hack the animatronics most likely believe they are trying to help you get home, but end up killing you when they catch you. This is evident due to the lines they say when seeking gregory

DANG this is a great video keep up the good work

When FNAF Security Breach wrapped, I was left with 10 questions. This answered them all succinctly and fully. Thank you.

I'm still kinda curious about sundrop's backstory: we don't know how he got there or who made him or why he seems to be less hostile than most of the other animatronics.

Another detail that may support the Freddy is Michael theory is how after Freddy breaks down and can no longer talk to you, when Gregory enters the security room he finds an "Old Security Badge" and Gregory comments on "What is this?" Suddenly, right after saying that Freddy can contact Gregory again out of nowhere and describing it as "a new wind" went through him, and suddenly able to help him again for a while longer.

Hello, new subscriber here! My son has shown me several of your videos and I couldn't help but log in and subscribe. I really enjoy your insight to everything involving this game and the FNAF characters/franchise itself. So, just stopping by to say hello, thank you, and I appreciate your content 🥰 have a nice day/night wherever you are! 👋🏻

Thank you for this!!! This was really the first fnaf game I was invested in and was getting frustrated that all the endings didn't seem to answer any questions. I was tired of being bruised off by fans when I asked questions, or directed to a 50 video playlist .

Don’t forget that Roxy is the only other animatronic that appears to have a genuine personality (praising herself in the 3rd person, crying for no reason, even getting agitated when Freddy is in her room)

Afton: “I ALWAYS COME BAC-“ Molten Freddy: *“ehhhh, shut up”*

Hey Superhorrobro, I love your channel and I love how you make this videos! And I personally think your take on the story of Security Breach is good, especially with the 3 star ending being the game’s true closure. And I really want to play Security Breach, but until it comes out for Switch, I just have to play Pizzeria Simulator, Help Wanted and Ultimate Custom Night on my Switch and Special Delivery on my IPhone.

I enjoyed so much.. You are so good Thanks bro

I feel like the Afton ending is canon, bc its the only ending thats fully animated with a cutscene, the only ending thats not in a comic strip, and in my opinion the hardest ending to get. It also sets up a sequel because we don’t see what happens to Vanny.

Michael finding peace after finally saving someone from his father is so poetic I hope its the actual canon and not a fan theory, its amazing and makes perfect sense

I literally act like these videos are classes , btw love ur vids! ♡♡♡

This explains sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much thank you veeeery much for making this video!

Freddy saying “my friends are down here” feels vital when determining whose soul is in the suit. Is he referring the the fnaf 6 animatronics down there? If so, I would suspect the soul of the kid in the original Freddy animatronic if it hadn’t moved on. The only two with “friends” in that pizzeria that would care about others would be Micheal (his human friends and brother dying there) or Henry (his daughter and animatronic creations burning there). Seeing as they both supposedly died in that fire and have a motivation to save another kid from the woman behind the slaughter, is there any conclusive evidence to narrow it down further?

I think the scariest part of playing security breach for me was Freddy. I know that sounds weird, but I was expecting him to turn evil whenever I saw him, so I was always preemptively freaked whenever I saw him

Part 2 security breach pls. Mike’s explanations are wonderful.

Thanks this is the best explanation of this game I have seen so far.

I think it’d also be relevant to talk about Freddy and Bonnies relationship, whenever Freddy is reminded of him he goes into a sorrowful nostalgia type mode and it pretty tight lipped on the subject

The fact that Gregory is an orphan hurts when there’s a chance that he’ll lose Freddy at some point, since Fazzy acts as a somewhat father figure to him throughout the game. I wonder if Gregory’s parents were also kidnapped for Afton’s purposes. Edit: I realized that he *could* have been on record if the parents were kidnapped unless there were records of them erased on purpose.

this made me so emotional. I was new to the franchise and this was my first game. I went back and played all the others and just wow.

I was so co fhsed on this game but this the explains everything! Now I know the whole thing from endings to characters, this really helped me understand Security Breach!

Also, just one small detail, since nobody seems to be pointing this out, that's actually admittedly a really nice touch. Why does Vanny just know where Gregory is hiding? Cameras. Because if Vanessa is Vanny, then she's a security guard who has access to the security rooms to watch Gregory. When she's out searching him as Vanessa, she doesn't have the same overview with cameras to keep tracking him, searching manually. She's using the old game's classic mechanic of paying attention to where everyone is hiding on the cameras against you.

Sadly, I think everyone agrees that the Afton Ending is the True Ending as that ending is the only one that ISN'T told in comic pages. I think what this implies that no matter what ending you choose Vanny OR Afton gets to live and continue their chaos into the future. The only good thing that is 100% True is that Gregory and Freddy get to leave together and either: Have a peaceful life in the future or become secret heroes that want to take down the company once and for all.

That explains a lot thank you so much for this!

I feel so enlightened thank you for the explanations

It’s strange how Greg and Freddy have developed sort of an Iron giant relationship. It’s also kinda weird just how satisfying it is to save Vanessa and just to see them all hanging out getting ice cream, so cool that the devs put that in just to make you really feel good about saving someone whose been chasing you around and scaring the life out of you for hours

Can we appreciate how he is posting as fast as possible? He's A LEGEND

love the video! ill watch it in the morning because its 12 at night and in tierd

Mr. Or Mrs. Super horror bro thanks for clearing up the endings of Fnafsb for me. When I first saw the all of the endings I was confused but thanks to you it makes sense now. Hopefully this clears you up. P.s why to go super star

I actually think that the Freddy soul might be the resurrected soul of Henry. Throughout the entire Security Breach, a lot of people commented that he’s more like a father wanting to protect his child. Henry also died in the fire so that the entire franchise could die based upon the guilt of not being able to protect his daughter. I think because he could not protect his daughter (Crying Child/Charlotte), he’s trying to prevent another Crying Child situation with Gregory thus the reason why he seems so paternal and the reason why the disassemble Vanny option seemed so personal. It also explains why he was sad at Bonnie Bowling and also why he couldn’t face coming back to that area. He missed Bonnie as Bonnie was there at the beginning, much like William prior to the death of his children (Elizabeth and Evan) and wife (and turning evil), was to Henry’s Fredbear. Edit: This also explains the fire ending and the willingness to burn everything and end it all like Henry was to William and taking Vanessa/Vanny with him, except it didn’t because essentially Henry created yet another “purple being” with Vanessa’s soul being trapped in the Megaplex much like William’s was. And Gregory would be back to being all alone.

I feel like the Afton ending is the true ending, as it actually has a cutscene and you have an boss fight with it. I think that the “Vanny good” ending is just a happy small ending.

Thank you very much the story lines make a lot of sense now it's such a great game to play I'm still going through it

I was so confused when I saw the Vanny roof ending. I thought Vanny and Vanessa were two different people. But it makes more sense and is more satisfying that her soul was what we saw at the end.

Sun and Moon had to had stayed the same. I mean, children were terrified of turning the lights off, and that's because of Moon. I don't think Vanny had control over Sun, but maybe made Moon more aggressive.

I will say that I wish Sundrop had more screentime. He was another rare animatronic that was fairly friendly, and it would have been amazing if we had more time with him, where he didn't ban the player or have the lights remain on.

You forgot to mention the newspaper clipping at the end of the car escape ending where Monty becomes the new lead singer and the newest member of the band is a glamrock version of Mr. Hippo.

I like how you look at the story over how game theory. He goes way over the top and seems to jump to conclusions over very small things. But you just grab the game and the ends and put the pieces together that are already in front of you. It's so easy to understand this complex story when you put the pieces together the way you do.

Honestly I feel really bad for the animatronics, and I hate seeing them get violently mauled the way they do in this game. I kinda wish the game allowed you to do a 'Pacifist Route' type thing where you could actually work to rescue *all* of the animatronics and when you succeed you get all of their help for the final Afton section voluntarily.

Sundrop is an interesting character in the light of this theory. He doesn't either and shows that he actually wants to help Gregory (although in a really annoying way) and seems to show self preservation.

Now I understand everything! Thanks you for this video :)(

You know; I think it's quite cool that if you look at certain locations within the megaplex (like in the pirate cove boat for instance), you can see signs of Gregory (supposedly) living within the pizzaplex for quite a while.

I don’t think Gregory is homeless, I think he’s a runaway. Remember the weird “midnight motorist” game from FNAF 6? Remember how one of the orange guys kids runs off to “that place,” and that “he’ll be sorry when he gets back?” Perhaps that was Gregory running away from a broken or abusive home? Just a thought.

Came here after watching Markiplier finish the game earlier today and watching the compilation of all the endings. I was so confused at the endings, but this video explains and put them all in to perspective perfectly. Originally I was confused as to why the ending where only Freddy’s head was saved is the best ending, but that was because I thought the lady there was potentially Gregory’s mom... Knowing now that Gregory was an orphan, but saves Vanessa and is low key adopted by her makes that truly the most heartwarming and best ending in my opinion.

"can't save anymore" yes, you can continue to save afterwards, there's a nice glitch you can do in Roxy Raceway to bring the save spots back online.

Wonderful and easy-to-understand breakdown of this story gives you a reason to care about the three main characters. Glad to know that Gregory managed to save both Freddy and Vanessa.

The whole vanessa vanny thing could’ve been better handled in the game. I thought the connection was a red harring at first and vanessa was just going to be the tom to gregory’s jerry. Kinda wish they gave her more scenes in the game and a more complete story and explanation as to what she was doing.

Prior to the games release, on of my biggest questions was “Who is Gregory?” “Why is he there?” and “What is his relationship to Vanessa?” I incorrectly guessed that they had some sort of parent-child or child-guardian relationship, cause why else would he stick around and save Vanessa when he should be escaping from the murder bots if he didn’t already have a connection to her. Even though I was wrong, the Good Vanny Ending feels like my initial thought has come full circle; where now at the end of the story Gregory and Vanessa have each other. It’s kinda poetic how the homeless orphan went into a place where families are torn apart (with y’know…murdered children), and managed to come out with a family of his own, with a mother/big sis in Vanessa and a father/big bro/BFF in Freddy.

At first I wondered about the sapience of the animatronics but then figured maybe it had something to do with that AI Vanessa made as mentioned in the special recordings. And, as mentioned in-game, apparently the 'hack' that affected everyone else didn't fully work on Freddy and just temporarily shut him down. If Freddy was friendly with the other animatronics, it's reasonable to think that they are originally friendly too and the 'hack' did an override that made them corrupted. The Michael theory though does sound fairly reasonable and would fit and make sense. It's all very confusing though. Or maybe I'm just easily confused. Probably that too. All in all, this was impressive. The way you made everything connect made a lot of sense. Even in some ways I didn't even think.

“William may always come back but he rarely manages to stay for long” Best thing ever! Roasting the entire I always come back

If you consider Freddy as being Michael, you could think he is literally reminded of Crying child by Gregory, because they have kinda similar appearances.

What I'm confused about is how advanced the AI are, I mean, they express human feelings and all have somewhat emotions (I'm talking about the four main animatronics + sun/moondrop since he sounds very human) It just feels like there is so much more to them

thank you for this video I was really interested in the story but couldn't play all the ending myself also your theory is more engaging then game theory in my opinion

Blob: WE. ARE. LEAVING. William: ok *ship- uh I mean pizza plex explodes as the 2 escape*

Be sure to sit back and relax yourself as well this Christmas Weekend Mike. With how much effort and work you have put into this series you deserve a nice break and some alone time! We all really appreciate every video you make.

Afton didn't really "escape" perse, it's more like he left an imprint of himself in springtrap's machinery, and now it's basically a digital clone.

You are amazing man!

Oh, this makes the game much more satisfying. I'll take that as the true ending. Though, as someone else said, I'm not sure if Freddy is really possessed. I think he just functions as he should due to the safe mode.

side note, the bots "dismantling" vanny is VERY dark and horrifying to think about

The bad vanny ending is quite gory when given thought because freddy be dismantled is sad and all, but he's an animatronic and vanny is not. Vanny is human so that means she got ripped apart and eviscerated. Besides that, i know the good vanny ending is not exactly the canon ending but its one of the better endings and probably the best ending, since vanessa, Gregory and freddy escaped together and are now happy

very well put together big proud

I'm gonna bring this up again. Did Michael deserve it? Also, the other kids are so cool too. Always making sure that William never gets away.

I love the explanation that Venessa does not have a twin sister, since if she did its very weird she never comes up before that. Her just being forever bound to the pizzeria makes a lot more sense.

I like it how you covered all of the stuff EXCEPT the missing Security Guard named Leo (I'd have to look back and double check) but there was messages about him being missed and that Police was called randomly in middle of night and Vanessa waved them off, not realizing it was actual guy who called them to rescue him. My guess (or theory?) is that he somehow got accidentally fell into the trash compactor or something that ends him being in deep underground with trash and abandoned security robots everywhere. I'm guessing he's the guy who eventually lost his mind and tried to make that table with robots around it so he won't feel "alone" while trying to have a dinner with his imaginary friends/family, and etc. At that point, i'm pretty sure he eventually died somewhere in the underground tunnels, either got killed by an angry security bot or something.

About the fire ending. One thing I don't think most people consider is that there might be a time gap between the shot of Vanny unmasked, and Vanessa looking over the rooftop. When Vanny was knocked off the rooftop by Freddy, there was no fire on the roof. The fire had not yet spread from the alcove where the Fazbear merchandise was lit. When we see Vanessa looking down from the rooftop, the building is well and truly ablaze, which would've taken anywhere from half an hour to several hours, depending on how the fire spread. In addition, when we're provided a shot of Vanny laying on the ground next to Freddy after the fall, there's no blood or obvious injuries on Vanny. It's possible that Freddy broke her fall, letting her live through the plunge, albeit unconscious from the impact. In the time it would've taken for Vanessa to wake up and discover herself unmasked and Gregory nowhere to be found, the fire could've spread to the rooftop. Vanessa removed the rest of the Vanny costume, retrieved her security guard hat from wherever she left it, and was looking down at a lifeless Freddy in a state of confusion about what to do now.

So…how long till Scott contacts you stating “yep…that theory of yours is pretty much canon.” 😂 excellent work as usual Mike👍👍👍
