It’s most likely Starlight, the hair coming out of the hood is the same color.

Probably not. Staff design is generic and the goatee is the wrong color. Probably an OC. Could be Stygian or Starswirl but hard to say.

He implies it a lot in the New Year’s ilustrations (same as RariJack), but never confirms anything.

If her dialog implies something, she’s actually distraught Spike still loves her since their previous lives? I didn’t get it yet actually, in general it looks like she’d give him a chance if they were by the same age.
 
 
@Brony kaiju soldier  
Same, but I doubt Spike will forgive himself easily, since he almost killed his sister, his (almost) love interest and his sister’s friends.

Apparently, just for the EVULZ. Also, ZecoFake it’s most probably the same guy that posed himself as some muscle freak with the Shadowbolts.

I’m thinking Sunburst. He’s got the right goatee and he’s carrying around Starlight’s staff thing.

What the imposter did to Spike and the girls, would that qualify as an MEH? She did say she didn’t care if half the world was destroyed, and she even said at an earlier point that she enjoyed watching Twilight and the others suffer.

Rumor has it that Rainbow and Spike will fake a relationship to get the jealous attention of their true interests. But that’s just a rumor.

Mauroz said that Applejack wouldn’t be stepping in to stop Spike because it wouldn’t be “her” moment.

Huh, I figured Applejack would step in, last minute

I am really hoping this isn’t the end for both Spike being important to the story OR of Sparity. It is just so amazing in this and I think they DO work so well together even if he is a bit younger than her. The chemistry is just there on a level beyond anyone else. And the story between the two of them is just so so epic. I also think that due to Rarity that powers wasn’t gone but instead is now embedded into Spike. As they said he didn’t reach his peak but was WAY powerful. All that power isn’t fully gone even if alot of the extra shot off into space.

FINALLY! This whole story derailment with Spike has gone on long enough.

He’s gonna need some time to come to terms so he can move on and maybe he’ll learn to harness and control that power one day, so he can never hurt anyone he cares about.
 
 
@Brass Beau  
Maybe it’s a weakened Discord.
 
 
@Brass Beau  
Those are some good theories, but my guess is Spike’s just gonna wanna be alone for a while, maybe thinking he’s too dangerous to be around, but the girls forgive him.
 
 
It’s all over at last; I’m glad Spike’s back to normal. Maybe something good will happen to him.

@Brass Beau  
Heh, even if I’m wrong he at least has the idea in his head, people seem to have speculated both possibilities on his deviantart.
Background Pony #4245
So what was this all for, then? Why would the fake Zecora turn Spike into a monster? What the hell did they have to gain from this?! Or did they just put everyone through this for the fun of it?!

After that we talked all night but it was as if he knew me all along.
 
Flimsy evidence but I’ve theorized with less.
 
I kinda forgot how possessive Sweetie Belle is of Spike. Can’t wait to see Applebloom’s reaction to being treated like that.

The two do look kinda similar (in terms of their hair), I wouldn’t be surprised if he did this as a way to throw people off.

That’d be an interesting possibility but I refuse to believe the silhouette of Spike wasn’t some kind of foreshadowing in that flashback. I am curious who that guy talking to Sunset was, though. I got no ideas for him.

Yo also a possible route about the feeling she had when she kissed spike (her heart is beating but her mind was at ease), is the she was talking about Shining Armor. Because that was speculated about during part 4 of chapter nine, almost three years ago.
