Clearly, Pinwheel didn't know the difference between, "go home and be a family man," and, "go home and be a family, man."

The most fascinating part of this video is him struggling with the fight against pinwheel.... Not because the boss is hard, he's struggling to not kill him in a single attack.

Pinwheel might be a legend, but let's not forget one of his masks belongs to the THE LEGEND

About the link between Pinwheel and Gwyndolin, that might explain how Pinwheel learned illusion magic to create fake copies of himself. Illusion seems to be Gwyndolin's specialty.<br>And Pinwheel's wife's grave is conveniently hidden behind an illusory wall.

Regarding the last part, also notice how Pinwheel doesn't drop a soul...

I love how creepy the whole encounter with Pinwheel is. His black and kind of amorphous shape remind me a lot of characters like No-Face from Spirited away and Koh, the face stealer from Avatar, which I think are based on the same or similar spirits.

One interesting thing about pinwheel you didn't go over is the placement of the masks. The mask of the father looks downward, not only ashamed of his creation but also in the perfect position to pore over his work, the very same work that got them into their state. The mask of the mother looks outwards, as though she is trying to keep the family safe and spot anyone who wishes to end them. And the mask of the child looks upwards, as though to give some hope and keep their chin high.

It truly amazes and astounds me how much you guys are able to discern out of such seemingly meaningless details about a character's lore. Im so addicted to these, and you always leave me stunned with what you guys find. Thank you so much. While other lore videos focus on the same main characters over and over, its the characters like Eidas or Pinwheel that are casually mentioned in the game that I always wonder about.<br><br>Please don't stop.

I fucking love how these always begin with simple origin explanations and 10 minutes in it shifts into conspiracy theories backed by gameplay mechanics. Best souls lore content out there by far
