The Jayfeather Scene that EVERYONE Missed | Warrior Cats

I know Cullen cats misunderstood is a huge meme but I really do genuinely think of jay feather as misunderstood he has such a complicated way of expressing his emotions that we don't really see with warrior cats that manifests itself in his double layered personality he has this thick outer shell that's very easily annoyed or offended afraid to show weakness but then he has the soft side that's extremely sensitive and insecure that he tries to hide because he wrongly feels ashamed okay so what I want to talk about is that Jay feather we know during the broken code and more specifically the scene that everyone missed I mean not literally everyone but a lot of people you know it's just a title okay so starting with donek lands and extending into a vision of Shadows Warrior Cats has had a number of bonus scenes included at the end of their books some of which were exclusive to Barnes and Noble in the US and in the broken code story arc there has been an only one so far in lost stars as a Barnes and Noble exclusive a lot of people just don't know it exists which is a real shame because a father is such an irritable snappy jerk in this book and with this scene his behavior makes a lot more sense it's a whole twenty pages including two chapters and an epilogue so I thought I'd make this video just to relay what this scene tells us about chief editor he's my favorite cat and this is such a powerful moment for him the focus of this short story is describing how leaf pulls death impacted Jay feather and through these brief 20 pages showing Jay for this reaction to feeling strong emotions the whole grumpy persona that Jay Cutler has taken on between a vision of shadows and the broken code suddenly makes a lot more sense though japheth are mostly shows tough love he still does form deep bonds with a few select cats mainly his family and especially leaf pull line blaze alder heart and briar light in River Fire we do see some of the soft side with this deep connection with briar light and also alder hurt but thanks to this bonus scene we see the leaf fool and alder Hart connections on full display J father is supremely sensitive during leaf pulls vigil at the end of squirrel flights hope he seems very angry as if he can't properly process the reality before him he doesn't even want to speak at first and when he does he doesn't display any sadness it's as if his connection with leaf full was so personal that he can't share it only with this bonus scene can we finally understand J for those grieving process we see how truly broken he is at this time he admits to himself that despite the times when he found Li full irritating the den feels empty without her he's mixing up verbs because he can't concentrate he doesn't go to the moon pool meeting because he's afraid to confront the fact that she's in star clan and he can't even bring himself to take leave pulls old nest leaving it completely open without use when elder hurt confronts this unhealthy behavior he makes excuse after excuse leaf will organize the storage poorly he was too busy for that one meeting moving from his nest is too much work and he rejects the obvious pain he's in from losing his mother saying he's dying japheth our calls pulled her hurt soft when he wants to talk about feelings and thinks alder hurt is too sensitive but ironically J father is being more sensitive than older hurt there was constant snapping and refusal to return to his normal way of life I feel like the broken code books are great in terms of drama and conflict but we really do lack these impactful character growth moments and that's why this bonus scene stands out so much we get to see a cat battling not with territory disputes or evil ghost cats but with feelings so then we move on to chapter 2 of this bonus scene holder hurt he'll stay for there to come to the moon pool quick because there's an injured cat there but when they get there all the medicine cats are there and elder hurt reveals the injured cat is Jay feather I love this for two reasons one is adorable seeing elder hurt makes such a huge gesture because he's worried about his mentor and - I like that grief is recognized injury mental health is often touched on in warriors but they rarely equate it to physical illness or injury like they do here it makes me want to see older heart become Thunder clans therapist he has such a common presence in the scene japheth are in j4 their passion thinks it is infuriatingly calm one thing really intriguing here is the embarrassment that je pleure feels to be called out as sensitive in front of other medicine cats I feel that as a blind medicine cat who failed Warrior Training he feels super insecure about his strength and being as masculine as his brother lion blaze or just ThunderClan cats in general older her is a really good cat for him to have in his life because he's more open about his emotions and shows that doing so doesn't show weakness and is ultimately constructive so alder hurt challenges day father to confront the moonpool and japheth er finally softens up for a moment and shows his emotion admitting to Alder hurt that he's scared even though it's hard for him and when he does meet leaf pulling star clan he tells her you left me twice he is able to express his proper sadness rather than make a sarcastic remark and because he broke down his outer shell leaf Poole is able to reach back and help him understand in the epilogue for the scene we see G over there more apiece now that his emotions are no longer bottled up the conflicts surrounding leaf pulls herb organizing and taking over her nest have settled as he can come to terms with the fact that he can move on and elder hurt has shown him that his past sadness was not weakness at all squirrel flight comments that things are the way they should be when she sees Dave other and leaf pools former nest and Japheth or keeps his agreement to himself showing that while he is more at peace with his emotions he's still not taking a complete 180 with his character the story really helps explain taper there's intense bitterness and lost stars as with star clans disappearance he lost the connection with leaf pool he found strengthened towards the story's end and it also explains his personality in general he desperately wants Cass to see em as confident and intelligent so he can feel competent as a medicine cat but deep down he has a very sensitive personality and he has outbursts of anger to defend his masculinity when his weakness is exposed and only over time can he learn the importance of displaying honesty with his emotions I do think there's more to be explored with this conflict so I imagined that we might get a jape but they're super addition a few years out from now but yeah overall a super interesting character [Music] you
