In high school, my friends and I kept notebooks of anime theories to discuss at lunch.

We had a whole binder for Naruto... filled with terrible guesses about Tobi's real identity. My friend's theory about him being future Sasuke was painfully wrong. Those messy notes were the best part of the week though.

Honestly, the wilder the theory, the more we loved it. Our One Piece notebook had pages arguing about whether Crocodile was Luffy's mom, which made no sense but kept us talking for weeks. It was less about being right and more about having something to debate over cafeteria food. Those notebooks were basically our start into fan culture, full of terrible drawings and coffee stains.

Remember my Bleach notebook where I swore Kisuke Urahara was the final villain. I had a whole chart drawn up with red string logic. Turns out I was just really bad at guessing plot twists. Still, those wrong theories were way more fun than being right.
