It’s pretty clear - Ashfur is Bramblestar’s possessor. And I can’t help but wonder if the Editors thought to bring him back specifically because he’s a fan favorite. Now you may be thinking “but wait, most people HATE him!” And yeah, that’s true, but in another sense they LLOOOVVVEEE him. I would wager the iconic fire scene is the most widely drawn scene from Warriors. And there are dozens of MAPs/PMVs/AMVs featuring Ashfur - some of which have MILLIONS of views. I have trouble believing the Editor’s aren’t tuned in to this, to the point where it encouraged them to bring Ashfur back.
So, what do you guys think? That the Editors decision to bring Ashfur was made in a bubble and had nothing to do with fans, or that fans contributed to his return?

**assuming Ashfur is the possessor** Fire scene is my favorite part about warriors. Ashfur is best villain ever. Please dont "kill" him off. Incarcerate him in DF.
I see TBC as fan-based as them listening to the fans about how killing the villain in book 3 kills the arc. I am guessing the writers realized how much we want Ashfur in the DF and not in StarClan, and they finally are listening to us for want of more plot

Why do you think Mapleshade keeps showing up?

Yes, because we had a whole arc that was completely devoid of LeafCrow and SquirrelAsh drama and now suddenly we have part 3. It's either fan pandering or the creators just REALLY like the Po3 drama.

Maybe it’s just because Ashfur’s story never really got a conclusion. He ended up dead and in Starclan, sure. But the old grudge was still there, and everything that went with it. So even though it looked like it was resolved, it wasn’t. That and the way Ashfur is makes him The perfect character to be manipulated by someone else (just give him a way to satisfy the grudge and he’ll do anything). So I’m even more curious to see if/who (someone) else is behind the scenes. I feel like there’s been some hits so far, but nothing confirmed yet.

Kind of doubt it.
