Rickon Stark's Fate Is Hidden In Arya's Faceless Man Training, According To New 'Game Of Thrones' Theory

Rickon Stark's Fate Is Hidden In Arya's Faceless Man Training, According To New 'Game Of Thrones' Theory

Makes sense...

It seems every day there's another Game of Thrones theory doing the rounds but this one actually has some grounding.

It's also purely based on the TV series so you may want to close this window if you're not all caught up on season six, for this article is dark and full of spoilers.

All gone? No whingers left? Ok, sick. Let's go.

Any praise or criticism for this one must go to Redditor singh_sahil24, who has crafted a theory about the Stark brothers based on Arya's Faceless Man training.

Seem far-fetched? Check this GIF which summarises it perfectly...

OK, so what he's saying is that Rickon is going to have something happen to his leg. Whether it kills him or not, we don't know, but given Rickon has just been taken to Winterfell, now being run by Ramsay Bolton, who loves chopping things off people (remember Then Greyjoy/Reek and the sausage chopping episode?), it's definitely not beyond the realms of possibility.

That's some seriously eagle-eyed Game of Thrones fanning from singh_sahil24, but certainly deserves recognition because there's not really all that much to argue against it.

Have the showrunners given us a clue as to what is going to happen to Rickon or are we being led down a blind alley by someone who's looking too much into things?

Oh, and did you know Shaggydog is definitely dead? The guy who plays Rickon, Art Parkinson, recently told Huffington Post: "When I read that Shaggydog was dead, I was definitely a little upset."

Now we are too. Cheers mate.
