Tʜᴇ Uɴsᴏᴠʟᴇᴅ Mʏsᴛᴇʀʏ Bᴇʜɪɴᴅ Exᴏ! [ Rᴇᴀᴅ ᴛʜɪs, ᴀɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜ'ʟʟ ғᴜʟʟʏ ᴜɴᴅᴇʀsᴛᴀɴᴅ ]

 

 

First, apparently they’ve been telling us the same story over and over again under our noses, but yeah, of course I understand that it’s preferable thousand times only pay attention to the boys and the story ;) Well, the easy matter and the one I’m 110% sure is the fact that they continue telling the legend from MAMA, remember it right? The Tree of Life and all that. Only that now we should bring the sequence from MAMA, Overdose, and now “Exodus” era (to identify it this way). First things first:

There are 12 guys who lived in exo planet, They realized that on another planet humans did not take care of his mother ( The tree of life), so they decided to give pause to people on earth. They reached the planet earth knowing how to control their powers (MAMA). But they lose their powers when they fall head over heels on a human girl. They followed the girl despite not doing their mission, they knew that their mother from the "ExoPlanet" would take away their powers because of falling in love as it says in the song (Wolf). They were filled with jealousy and fury when other guys were grabbing her attention and they didn't like it one bit because she only belonged to themselves. (Growl) But later in time, the girl broke their heart in the music video (MID). Actually, in that song, they were beginning to be someone normal without powers that they had. They all held the feelings for another human being, which whatsoever isn't allowed. And so, when they broke up with the girl, they decided to go and look for their powers that faded away when they didn't care about it just because it so happens that the human girl was more important than the tree of life.

 

But their mother was not going to leave them easy so she put them in a maze, she would not forgive them because they had not yet forgotten the girl just yet. (Overdose). The maze brought different outputs, so they all ended divided in different places, they didn't know anything of the other members for months. (In the Path Codes). And so, when they forgot the girl, their mother will finally decide to keep them to be at ease and so, she returned their powers down 10 meteors to the earth, not all 12 have gotten it because Kris and Luhan had never forgotten the girl that they loved oh so dearly, and they stand still in the overdose maze today. Trapped and cannot get out of their misery, unless they let go of the human girl, but they never did. Just then, down came 10 meteorites in the cities where the boys resided. Kim Jongin returns with his powers, as you can see in the video he's in, (His pathcode), it seems as if he's searching for something, and a thought came into mind, as he must have been looking for the other members. In Tao's PathCode, he's notices something in the newspaper that shocked him and therefore runs to notice that already had his powers back. (In the video, you can see that he has stopped time. After that, he went on a search for the Exo members).

And as you can see that Chanyeol awakes after exiting the maze. He is lost and he can not find his friends but not knowing that he had his powers he burns the forest. Each boy has a normal life, but noticing the flaws in the electronic apparatus and the sudden darkness instinctively, they know that they had their powers again,  that is why every guy runs out of where they are, now they have their powers, and will return with more force, they run to look for the other members. This will Continue ...

We already knew this I think, but I have my reasons for pointing that out. History tells us that when the tree was divided in half, the time overturned and space turns obscure.

We must make memory and remember the story of the legend again: 

Story tells that when the 12 forces/legends were divided into two, two similar suns were created in two similar worlds. They traveled separately and are supposed to see the same sky but from different lands, they’ll remain on the same ground but seeing different skies. 

Now the boys are scattered throughout a world that may seems theirs, but it’s not. As the story goes:

They went through the maze and traveled on their own and that’s why we see them located at different cities, seeing the same sky and alone.

All of them should meet again but there is only one way that can happen:

The legend continues that the day when the sky witness a ‘failure’ between two similar worlds, the forces will greet to each other. I was wondering since Sehun’s pathcode why he’s the only who saw the eclipse (I know, the location, time zone and blah blah… but actually is much more than that). Then Chen’s pathcode came and I get it now: the ‘failure’ occurring in the sky between the two worlds is none other than the eclipse! And I support this with the fact that is show it at MAMMA video, the teaser for this comeback and with the following facts: The only who witness this fact so far are Sehun and Chen. We can see that Sehun runs when it becomes aware of Eclipse and he’s not fleeing but precisely the opposite. He definitely knows what that means. Each member doesn’t know where the other one is, but perhaps they know they can only be found when the ‘failure’ (eclipse) occurs that’s why we see them so lost. Plus not all of them have seen the eclipse so they don’t know when that might happen. Baekhyun think he’s haunted by “something” and flees perhaps because he’s aware that being alone and separated from the rest of the forces he’s not safe at all. That’s why we see a nervous and restless Kai, a shocked and worried Suho, a lonesome Chanyeol, a drunk Xiumin and an almost resigned Chen.

In my opinion they have no control over their powers, but now I’m 101% sure that NONE of them had their powers at least till some point when it was activated on purpose. Keep that in mind…

We can see several strange signs of communication that we don’t understand in pathcodes: Kai receives a message, while Tao is reading the newspaper energy in the lamps fail, Chanyeol in the forest (should pay attention), Xiumin on TV with the sign of the wolf, Sehun see the eclipse, with Suho drops falling from the sink, Chen see the eclipse and Baekhyun happens like Tao, energy lamps begin to fail. And if you look right after passing all this is when actually their powers are reactivated.


Those strange signs of communication are coming from the legends EXO PLANET as we can see in OVERDOSE MV when they’re in the maze, the energy lamps begin to fail.
I said I was 101% sure that none had his powers, but in pathcodes we see that are used, don’t we? Well, this is because although each of the stories are told separately, in fact, they all would be happening at once, and when that happens is caused by a eclipse is also happening and their powers are back again, because they are ready to leave that world to meet again and they’re aware of it.

Now we have to remember the Overdose MV. When they’re lost in the maze, we can see that ‘DO’ receive a box containing his force (earth) and he throws it on the ground. Immediately after we can see Lay giving life to the element (remember Lay’s force is healing/shall live). It means that between D.O. and Lay was created the land to the 10 legends traveling separately and so keep them safe from the red force until failure occurred in sky as previously I explained about the story. Plus during Kai pathcode we can see a flashback about this moment precisely.

So far we can give a first meaning to Beginning = end: the pathcodes ended with ‘who started this new era’ (to put it in some way). But there’s more than that. Here my interpretation of D.O. pathcode: he was exactly like the rest, waiting and searching but with no luck because it was not yet time for the forces can greet each other as the story says. So we see him looking for without having any success, then he just awaits (he also try with different elements). If you pay attention you’ll see that while he’s on the ground a silver ball is suspended over him and represents his call from exo planet to start the exodus, as happened with the rest of the forces. Then we see he’s holding up three marbles and throws them down with the other 7 because he’s aware the time has come. Exodus begins!

This is interesting really. This is the best interpretation I've read so far and it does make sense!

I just watched all of the pathcode videos and I did not know where to start. So of course I started with KAI and I believe DO should've been the last one. Now your story sounds like it makes sense. I never thought about the progression of the storyline From MAMA - Overdose - Exodus. But it does make some sense. Except for when we get to the Overdose period how do you know or how did you find out about them being captured and stuck in the maze?
How many mv's were there for Overdose EP? I like where you are going with this storyline cause I think you are on to something. Very Interesting.
