Who caused the Bite of '87? - Five Nights at Freddy's theory/analysis

sighs No, it was not Fredbear.

Kids: tears apart Mangle Mangle: You have lost your frontal lobe privileges

Everyone knows Scott caused the bite of 87 to make matpat’s brain explode

I always hated how everyone assumes the victim was a child at the party. Remember the Night 4 call, where Phone Guy states the animatronics were acting aggressively towards the staff and get along fine with the kids, but stare when they see an adult. I actually think Jeremy Fitzgerald was the victim. He was on the day-shift that day. And the animatronics have been trying to jump him for the past week, and it was a perfect chance to do so.

I could see Scott one day revealing the culprits randomly online in like 12 years. It just feels like such a Scott move to wait years after his retirement, and to never mention the series for ages, and then just return from the grave and casually unveil one of the greatest mysteries in the entire series

when withered bonnie looks like an accurate depiction of what the bite of 87 victim's face would look like

I always felt really bad for phone guy. He seemed relatively wholesome, and even though they never met, it felt like he was a friend of the night guard. He seemed genuinely terrified upon his demise

I always thought it was mangle, the way his jumpscare animation is literally her swooping down and biting you in the head gives you obvious clues that he's the one who did it. I also always liked mangle because of her design, and because of the brand new mechanic he introduced.

I like how scott made the lore so confusing people need to create 34 minute videos just to explain who bit someone in the frontal lobe

I love how realistic Scott sounds in the phone calls, like he’s actually relating information about events he saw

5:15 "They interact with the kids just fine, but when they encounter an adult, the just. . . stare." that gave me the chills lol

I think phone guy’s death went like this: he closes the left door, causing Foxy to bang on it. He pulls up the camera, and opens the kitchen cam where he hears Freddy playing the Toreador March. Chica sneaks in while he’s looking on the cam and starts making noise, and phone guy then switches to the left door cam, where he sees the Golden Freddy poster. He quickly pulls down the cam, where Golden Freddy kills him before Chica can, explaining why we hear his jumpscare. Despite being paranormal, he is capable of killing, as he can do so to Mike Schmidt.

For the Freddy handprint: It is seen on FNAF 1 Repaired Freddy. The bite took place back when Freddy was withered (FNAF 2), and Withered Freddy lacks the prints. That means they are literally not connected to the bite in any way

It’s all fun and games until Scott reveals the culprit as balloon boy. This would be absolutely terrifying.

despite being such a huge debate in the fandom, the bite of '87 is nearly irrelevant from a plot perspective, aside from leading to the closing of the fnaf 2 location. but great video- i love this analysis.

I personally think toy chica could be ruled out because unlike many of the other animatronics, toy chica doesn't have a jaw hinge. Looking at her design, it doesn't look like there's any way for toy chicas mouth to open any more than it already is, so she definitely couldn't have bitten down on somebody's head.

I'm glad someone decided to finally solve this mystery once and for all. It really feels like you put a lot of effort and dedicated a lot of research into this.

I always thought the Bite of 87 was highly over analyzed by the Fandom. It's clear Scott Cawthon never intended for it to be important, and I think he just needed a way of telling the player that the Robots are dangerous and are capable of hurting people, so he added a small story about one biting a kids frontal lobe off. That sends the message that they're dangerous perfectly fine. However it became another case of Fans taking something in the lore and ramping it up to grand importance.

It also makes sense for Mangle to be the culprit because phone guy said "stay close to the animatronics make sure they hurt anyone" and Mangle is literally torn apart and is the one to most likely to hurt someone due to malfunction sense her circuits are scrambled.

5:15 bro this is just perfect when he says the word “stare” toy bonnie opens his eyes its just perfect
