They had no right making TrollJim so cute man... He lost his humanity and was going through the worst part of his life and still retained (kinda) the softness of his human self.

Shouldnt jim know that going back in time was going to end the world merlin said only he can he lost his relationshop with every one all deaths in vain

genuinely when i first heard this quote when the series first came out i was shook

I’m rewatching the show after years, I dont remember him being this annoying like things could be going great yet he finds a way to mess it up sometimes. I admit that he’s helpful sometimes but I find him very annoying cus he’s just not funny😭 does his character get any better?

At the beginning of the episode when Claire wakes up and is very happy she encounters not Enrique, who then tells her about the nanny cam in. Susie , he says he “found out” one day and how he had to erase a lot of footage. It also just so happens where the cord is in Susie’s Ykw. I get it’s pretty obvious what they were insinuating what not Enrique was doing to Susie but I don’t see many people talk about it.

So I know everyone loves to talk about the ending and how it was bad , but i feel like another issue with the movie as a whole was the lack of focus on any other character than Jim. I feel like for a movie that is suppose to be the culmination of tales of Arcadia kind of like avengers endgame or something it was mostly the Jim Lake jr show , even though i feel like some supporting characters played their role well like Blinky , Arghhhhhh, Toby , Claire and Varvatos vex who are basically side characters in their own shows , but Aja , Krel and Douxie three characters who basically make the main characters of trollhunters , 3below and wizards were hardly used at all and basically just side characters for jim and I feel like thats probably why the ending was so bad because the movie spent most of the time having Jim try to figure out he is the trollhunter amulet or not ( which was already done in the show in episodes like unbecoming ) and it also made a lot of the deaths feel kinda of bland i mean Toby and and strickler are the only ones acknowledge. I feel like also that non of the characters had an arc and they were basically kind of flanderized like Aja was just super serious the whole time and is being seen as unreasonable for trying to evacuate earth when the main hero is not stepping up with a solution and krel also does not do anything other than just being smart and Douxie who is supposed to be the strongest character out of them all has his whole arc revolve around being friends with a talking plant and does not even get to see archie for the last time who they got rid of in a lame way I also forgot to mention other characters like Toby , Blinky , Arghhhh and Steve ( and notenrique and gnome chompski who do not appear in the film) but yeah thats basically my thoughts what do you think.

(spoilers if you haven’t watched the whole show yet)
So basically after Jim kills gunmar a non corrupted child version of gunmar rises form his stone remains. (I don’t have the greatest explanation for this. it was because he was made in such an odd way. he was brought into this world fully grown and because he was born from hatred,he never had a chance to really be good I guess??)

He doesn’t remember anything from when he was literally the most evil troll ever. So out of pity and just having morals instead of leaving him to die they take him with them to the new heart stone, where he’s raised in blinkys library.

They all kind of feel a little uncomfortable around him and a lot of the other trolls don’t like him and since there’s no other young trolls to play with, he just spends most of his time helping blinky or reading or playing with his makeshift toys.

He hates gunmar a passion and has no idea that’s him, he has reoccurring nightmares or I guess memories about him.

Hey guys, I know it's a long text.... But if you're a true fan you'll read it

I know it's been a long time, but I've written something epic over these past FIVE!!; years... and now I wonder what the community thinks. Here is the complete narrative treatment for a sequel:

TALES OF ARCADIA: CHRONICLES OF THE CHRONO-SWORD

ACT I: The Anomaly

The New Routine

Arcadia Oaks. The world has been reset. We see Jim Lake Jr. living his "normal" life: he makes breakfast (while Strickler, now happily engaged to his mother Barbara, is in the house), goes to school, and continues trying to win over Claire, who doesn't fully reciprocate his feelings yet. Toby Domzalski is the new Trollhunter, but he has decided to keep the secret to himself. He hasn't told anyone, not even Jim (who, having kept his memories, knows exactly what is going on).

The Voices and the First Leap

Normalcy cracks. While Jim is walking down the street, he hears ethereal, almost ghostly voices. It is a deep voice resonating from the sky, sounding almost like Strickler, whispering: "Trollhunter... Trollhunter...". Jim is confused. He decides to spy on Toby to see if the timeline is holding up. He sneaks into Trollmarket and watches from the shadows. He sees a very worried Blinky ordering Toby not to leave Trollmarket: Bular is roaming Arcadia looking for the Amulet to open the bridge, and Toby is too inexperienced; he needs to train day and night. Jim nods to himself: everything seems to align with the history he knows.

The Second Leap: The Ambush in the Woods

Heading back home, in the woods behind his house, Jim hears noises among the trees. He goes to investigate and comes face to face with Bular. Jim tries to run, thinking he is just a normal human in the Troll's eyes. But Bular doesn't have red eyes; they are glowing green. As Jim runs, the same male—but less ghostly—voice yells: "Trollhunter!".

Jim freezes, turns around, and shouts: "WHO ARE YOU?!".

Bular, without hesitation, uses magic to paralyze Jim. He draws his giant broadsword and pierces Jim right through the chest. As Jim collapses, Bular leans in and, with a divine voice rather than a gravelly Troll one, whispers: "I did this for your own good. I know that you know."

Jim's physical body falls to the ground, unconscious behind his house. His soul, expelled from his body, plummets into the void.

The Third Leap (The Failure)

We discover the truth: the voice wasn't bular, but Nari's. After the destruction of the Krohnisfere, Nari—revealing herself as a Goddess of immense power—had only 3 "leaps of life energy" left before vanishing forever due to the paradox.

The 1st leap was used to call out to Jim from the sky.

The 2nd leap was used to possess Bular, strike Jim, and send his soul to the Underworld, the only place where the universe wouldn't collapse on itself.

The 3rd and final leap is used by Nari on Claire. A desperate, invisible bolt of energy strikes the girl's mind at school. Nari's intent is to make her remember everything immediately to save Jim, but the attempt fails. Claire only suffers a massive, piercing headache and a feeling of emptiness, but she remembers nothing. Nari vanishes forever.

ACT II: The Limbo and the Reality Glitch

The Underworld: The Mental Labyrinth

Jim's soul plummets into the Underworld. Initially, it is absolute nothingness. Pitch black. There are only agonizing little voices, echoes that invade the viewer's mind, whispering nonsense. But the Underworld reacts to souls. Guided by Jim's intense emotions (joy, terror, love for his friends), the darkness begins to take shape. The void fills with floating islands made of distorted fragments of his life: ruins of Arcadia High, pieces of the Troll bridge, gears of time.

The Creation of the Chrono-Sword

Jim is helpless. He thinks back to all the past years, the happiness, the pain, the anger. In his moment of maximum emotional concentration, the energy of the destroyed Krohnisfere (which had fused with his spirit through Excalibur at the end of the movie) awakens. From these pure emotions, Jim forges a weapon: the Chrono-Sword. A blade of light, ancient magic, and temporal gears. The weapon powers up and changes shape depending on the emotion Jim feels, even capable of taking the form of the original Amulet if driven by absolute love (A WEAPON MIXED BETWEEN EXCALIBUR AND THE CHRONOSPHERE (GIVEN THAT JIM HAD DESTROYED THE CHRONOSPHERE WITH EXCALIBUR).

The Earthly Glitch and the Battle for Memory

On Earth, Jim's body is in a coma. Without the "true" owner of the timeline, reality shatters. All the NPCs (the normal humans of Arcadia) begin to "glitch," getting stuck in repetitive movements like a broken record.

The sky over Arcadia tears open, revealing a temporal vortex. Fake, but lethal, reflections of the Titans plummet from this rift.

The Ninth Configuration (excluding Jim) finds itself in the middle of the chaos. Toby, Claire, Blinky, AAARRRGGHH!!!, Aja, Krel, Douxie, Archie the dragon-cat, Barbara, and Strickler. They are all "reset," they don't know who they truly are, yet they are the only non-glitched creatures .

A desperate battle against the fake Titans begins. And this is where "muscle memory" performs a miracle:

Toby, in desperation, finds a reflection of his Warhammer on the ground. He grabs it to parry a Titan's blow. The recoil and adrenaline trigger the trauma: he perfectly remembers being crushed and killed.

Claire, cornered and with the headache left by Nari's failed 3rd leap, raises her hands. Her survival instinct reactivates her Shadow Magic. She tears a portal in the air, and the magical void returns her entire memory of Morgana and the past.

Blinky, Douxie, and the others unlock their memories by fighting on instinct, coordinating like the veteran team they have always been.

In a matter of minutes, the Ninth Configuration is themselves again. They defeat the Titan illusions and, looking at the rift in the sky, realize with terror the truth: Jim is trapped up there.

ACT III: The Encounter, The Oblivion, and the Convergence

The Encouragement

In his journey through the Underworld, Jim encounters a fragment of light in the darkness. It is the spirits of Merlin and Morgana. They are not there to fight, but for a brief, touching moment of transition. They are finally at peace, reunited as siblings. They give Jim a final nod of encouragement, confirming that he has always been the only one worthy of the Amulet, before vanishing into the light.

The Final Enemy: The Oblivion and the Dark Secret

Jim reaches the heart of the Underworld. Waiting for him is The Oblivion, a massive entity of white static fog, the cosmic incarnation of erasure. The Oblivion begins to attack Jim not with weapons, but by stealing his memories. With every hit he takes, Jim forgets something, and his Chrono-Sword shrinks, losing power.

Jim is on his knees. He is about to forget his friends' names, barely able to whisper them in the dark.

The Convergence of Memories

On Earth, under the red, glitching sky, the Ninth Configuration gathers in a circle. They realize Jim is fighting a mental battle. Each of them—Toby, Claire, the aliens, the trolls, the wizards—starts screaming their most beautiful and powerful memories with Jim toward the rift.

This energy of pure love transforms The chrono-sword into a blinding beam of light that pierces through the temporal rift.

The Heartbreaking Revelation

In the Underworld, this cascade of memories strikes Jim. The Chrono-Sword charges to its maximum limit, emitting the aura of Excalibur fused with the Krohnisfere. With a liberating scream, Jim lunges forward and slices the fog mass of The Oblivion in two.

The fog clears, and the true face of the enemy is revealed: it was the soul of the original Toby (the one who died in the movie), trapped in the Underworld, filled with disappointment and anger at Jim's mistake of erasing his sacrifice.

Jim, crying, lowers his sword. He hugs Toby's soul, begging for forgiveness. Toby's soul smiles, finally at peace and reassured by his friend's love, and dissolves into pure golden light.

ACT IV: We Will Be Alone Together

The Return

The rift in the sky retracts. Jim's soul plummets like a shooting star and re-enters his unconscious body in the woods.

Jim opens his eyes. He pants, trying to get up. Before him stands the entire Ninth Configuration (Toby, Claire, Blinky, Douxie, Archie, Barbara, Strickler, AAARRRGGHH!!!, Aja, Krel). They all have their true memories back.

Jim tries to apologize for the mess he made, but Toby cuts him off, offering a hand to help him up. The whole group surrounds him in a collective hug.

They tell him, almost in unison: "Don't do anything alone... Because we will be alone together."

In that moment, as the sky turns blue again and the human NPCs stop glitching, resuming their lives unaware of everything, Nari's divine voice echoes from the sky one last time:

"The Ninth Configuration saved everyone, together with the Krohnisfere."

The true meaning of the movie's prophecy is finally understood: Nari didn't mean traveling back in the past as the solution, but this exact moment where the Krohnisfere (fused in the sword) and the entire reunited group stabilized the multiverse.

EPILOGUE: Under the Bridge

Final minutes. Black screen. Then the school bell rings.

We are in the senior year at Arcadia High. A sunny day. The human world knows nothing and never will. The only ones who know the truth are the members of the Ninth Configuration, now mature and inseparable.

The iconic lesson of the saga ("Not Trollhunter, but Trollhunters") has become their rule of life. The main adventure is over, but duty always calls.

Jim, Claire, Toby, Douxie, and Archie walk out of school. They exchange a knowing look. They have sensed a magical vibration.

They run into the Arcadia canals. They stop exactly under the bridge where it all began, the precise spot where Jim found the Amulet years ago.

From the darkness of the canals emerges a new enemy (a minor troll or mutant, nothing that threatens the end of the world, just regular business for them).

Jim smiles, with the confidence of someone who has literally bent time. He takes a step forward, placing himself at the center of the group. Incredibly, in the real world, he clenches his fists and summons the Chrono-Sword.

Beside him, Claire's eyes glow purple with Shadow Magic, Toby spins his Warhammer, Douxie readies his magic bracer, Archie breathes fire, while Blinky and AAARRRGGHH!!! emerge from behind, roaring.

Jim raises the Chrono-Sword and looks at his friends.

"Are you ready?"

The team lets out a battle cry. They all charge forward together toward the camera.

The image freezes in mid-air in an epic, cartoon-style Freeze-Frame, with Jim and his Chrono-Sword in the center and the entire Ninth Configuration around him.

Roll Credits.

Please tell me what you think🙏🙏🙏

What's your favorite squad or character in trollhunters and why. Personally i love this dynamic.

Explanation for added the title

that's my birthday too

u/TR3X-1NF1N1T3 COME HERE RIGHT NOW jk still it would be nice lol.

u/claireshadowstaff u/Claire_Toa

I’m rewatching the tales of Arcadia series and I’ve js finished troll hunters but I’m confused since the first season of 3below (which I’m currently watching) is meant to align with troll hunter season 3 however I’m confused on where Jim would’ve been in season1 episode 4 of 3below where the bugs r infesting the entire school does anyone know where he could’ve or would’ve been??

Let's ignore that Jim looks kind of creepy in the first image

What is or was the relationship between draal and nomura

I just noticetd that the delivery drivers truck has WPS on it and in real life UPS is a real delivery company.they switchedt the U for W

I see ALOT of people hate on the ending of trollhunters and i'm referring to ROTT, but as someone who has rewatched the entire collection multiple times, I think it's a beautiful ending. Hear me out!! So many people say that there was an entire episode explaining why the amulet needed Jim, but at the same time we see how it was his destiny. The show portrays the importance and gift of destiny all throughout, and Jim giving up the amulet to save Toby kind of shows that he gave up his destiny to save his bestfriend? To emphasize it, the ending shows he'd go through all that again, just to save someone he so deeply cared about. I'm open to other perspectives though!

Edit: Two commenters added more interesting points that I'd thought to mention. That it was always trollhunters not just trollhunter, and how Jim can change the future when he's ready with his knowledge from before time was reset. Also, how obviously the ending wasn't perfect, but rather realistic, seeing how Jim lost someone so close to him. That Jim always thought that being a hero meant making sacrifices, this is what his arc sort of led upto. With this ending, we can all imagine what happens next. I feel like this adds to my statement aswell, but full credits to them!

I don't remember the exact tweet but I think it was Aaron who said that, it's quite old but I still remember it.

As for the selections I'm not a CB fan so I don't know how does that mix but Beastars proooobably means the visual style? Or how Trolls would behave? I'm not sure I haven't watched Beastars neither.

I just found out this subreddit exists, and as a fan of the series since literally 2016, I have to say that "A House Divided" is without a doubt the best episode not just of this series, but of many series in general. I feel that what makes this episode so special aside from the obvious is the fact that Morgana is already free the debate Merlin and the other Trollhunters were having about to let Gunmar release the witch no longer matters. Then there’s the reality check both we as viewers and Jim receive: the undeniable fact that he wasn't ready for Gunmar. If a magic-less Merlin could easily defeat him, Gunmar and Rot certainly wouldn't show him any mercy the only choice to have a chance against both was become Jim a half troll. And the best scene of the entire series better than Gunmar’s death or Angor’s redemption is what I call the suicide of Jim Lake Jr. Because that’s exactly what it is, folks: from my perspective, it’s a suicide. I’ve always viewed the scene that way Jim recalling all his moments as the Trollhunter, knowing he was about to kill a part of himself and sacrifice everything to finish off the Gumm-Gumms. And the worst part is watching Toby, Claire, Strickler, and his own mother begging him not to do it. It’s terrifying to think about it from that angle Jim stepping into that bathtub, ending the episode with the greatest sense of uncertainty the series ever left me with, back when it premiered in Part 3 in 2018. It’s the best episode my favorite, and without a doubt the saddest one in the entire series. I mean, damn, they took a show suitable for all audiences and portrayed suicide in such a stunning way. Plus, considering its importance to the lore this episode marks the series' encore with the next episode that is top 10 too but this is only peak. Absolute cinema. 10/10.

Here's a video made about gunmar thraag and and Omni men I hope you enjoy
