#Ejen Ali theory

Funny idea where Rudy goes undercover in Alicias school n like her disguise is painfully obvious to Ali but Alicia is too much of a lesbian to notice

[zephyrmars]

Another day, another posting of theory of Cero being Alicia's biological father (Probably first time posting this theory in Tumblr)

I'm kinda scared to think about ejen Ali season 4....

Because if there was a New techno young-agent... I don't know what to say...

Because i just feel like if there was a New techno... Then Kim's character would just get abandoned..

Im scared that we would never see Kim in ejen Ali again...

Let just hope that ejen Kim would still be on future episodes!

The Protokol Gegas episode is kinda important not gonna lie

S1E7 Protokol Gegas is arguably one of the best Ejen Ali episodes where the first major turn in the series takes place. But now I wonder, what if Alicia hadn't been so lucky. What if Ali had just been a bit more of a coward or wasn't fast enough to grab her in time.

What if... Alicia died?

You ever wondered what would have happened? Well, me too. And it's messy.

So, the base assumption is Ali failed to save Alicia for one reason or another.

The immediate consequence is obvious, in that Alicia dies and Ali gets ptsd and survivor's guilt.

The not so immediate consequence however is also obvious... but at the same time may cause unseen butterfly effects.

The major, major one is the Protokol Gegas itself, which nobody has initiated before ever since the Pillar Leaders left Djin/Uno to die five years ago.

Now, the big questions:

Who gave the order: Rizwan

Why: To stop a potential threat to Cyberaya

How: By retrieving Azureum

Victim: Alicia

Now, assuming they did get the Azureum back, assuming they did succeed the mission, Alicia dying has big consequences because of two simple facts:

She wasn't an official agent (plus she was also a kid, but eh, child soldiers and all that)

This was the first time Protokol Gegas was initiated after five years

You think they're just gonna have a funeral and move on? No no no, not a chance. The likelier thing to happen is Rizwan will be put on trial. You don't simply invoke the forbidden words and expect get away scot-free you know. Rizwan ordered Ali to initiate to Protokol Gegas, and since Alicia died in this scenario, he will have to prove why it was necessary for him to sacrifice a team member like that.

Ali and Bakar (and maybe Dos if they detained her) will have to testify as witnesses as they were there during the incident. The judges will be the Pillar leaders themselves while Rizwan will have to be his own lawyer. Perhaps some other agents will defend his case but unless they can give satisfactory answers as to why leaving a teammate was necessary, Rizwan may be put on probation, or worse, be stripped of his agent status.

After that... honestly it's just up to imagination after this point. And I haven't imagined enough to say what can happen.

But that's just my interpretation. What do you think would have happened if the episode didn't go as it did in canon?

got sucked into the ejen ali fandom. caught up on season 3 and like— any theories on the ending? to anyone in this dead tag of a fandom. i have literally no one to talk to for this

spoilers for my own theories under the cut:

if we get a resolution to MATA Arena, I really do think Alicia will come out on top. It’s just her and Ali in this competition and she never really needed to be in the academy or qualify to be a real agent anyway.

The real cause of tension is that the winner becomes the next IRIS user which just— feels bad man.

It goes back to this theme in child superhero literature where the voice of authority decides that the hero no longer has the right to their abilities because they believe someone else might be better (not even knowing if there is someone else). isn’t a suspension enough for Ali’s case during Misi:Neo? Why would they trust the agent who wins Arena more than the long time user of IRIS himself?

Back to my theory: I think if Alicia does win, she will not accept IRIS. She’s worked with Ali for so long now, why would she change this team dynamic? Additionally, their relationship this season feels more equal? like she doesn’t look down on him as much which makes their relationship stronger in return. so if she takes IRIS, it might feel like a betrayal. IRIS being used by someone other than Ali feels so uncomfortable to me with all the negative connotations (villains after IRIS) and add the fact that it’s Aliya’s invention and her data being used in override mode… idk. I think Alicia knows that Ali should have IRIS, she saw him in that fight during Misi: Neo.

From a meta perspective, giving Alicia IRIS feels like they’re downplaying her competency. She doesn’t really need IRIS. It gives her an extra boost and a very overpowered arsenal of abilities sure, but her dedication to MATA, her loyalty and hard work, will just be thrown to the side and replaced with her as the IRIS user. It wouldn’t be fair on her as a character who put her blood, sweat and tears into this agency, to just get the same treatment Ali gets where they chalk up her skills to IRIS instead of her own efforts.

Soooo,

I saw this tweet about Ejen Ali's timeline

Rough english translation by Google Translate cuz I'm an idiot :

Agent Ali's first appearance on TV3 dated 8/4/2016 has marked the year in which Agent Ali's world timeline is located.

The date of 25/6/2020 started everything. The date on which Ali obtained IRIS & became an Agent.

It can be said that Agent Ali's world is only 4 years away from our world.

Tbh I'm so impressed that someone just noticed this small detail cuz, if I could remember I never read about this before.

[turtles-batbeyond]

What's going on for the upcoming episode?

My head fills with lots of theories (I'm on my cliffhanger slump since yesterday) about what happened of the latest episode (I can't stop thinking about it), I know Ejen Riz has a soft spot for Ali, and while he told Ali to get out from the situation, but well you know Ali is stubborn...

My mind keeps spinning to the whys, whats,and hows. Also, my mind keeps predicting whether if Riz wants to finish off Uno by himself (that's one theory) while doing his "betray" plan or actually according to the betray possible scenes (don't ask me why), so that he will go through the fight again.

And much more BRUTAL.

I have two more but I don't want to speak out more coz uhhhh....there's much possibilities of why Riz betrayed his official agent team ;~;

and I can't think anything else ;~;

Drafts n stuff!!

Ejen Ali movie 2 is taking too long, here are my irrelevant headcanons:

Ali can cook:

I know he's rich and all, but everyone would get tired of delivery food once in a while. With his dad working late, I can just imagine Ali cooking stuff as a hobby. Like, he made his mom's Tart Nenas Landak without breaking a sweat! He must have some experience at least.

Viktor is Ali's childhood friend

Kinda sounds obvious, but if you think about how Ali has no other friend before meeting the other junior agents, it makes you wonder why Viktor sticks around.

Viktor must have been friend with Ali for long enough for them to have such a strong friendship. You know what Ali was like in season 1, right? Obnoxious, undisciplined, and overall not very pleasant to be around for an extended period of time. A true problem child.

Yet Viktor stays by his side, probably because he knows what Ali used to be like when they were younger, likely around the time Aliya died and Ali and his dad's relationship became dysfunctional.

IRIS actually makes Ali smart

I stand by my opinion that season 1 Ali was as stupid as can be lmao. But his extended usage of IRIS must have imprinted something. If you practice drawing, you'll get better at it eventually. Similarly, if Ali kept getting inputs from IRIS, he'd eventually get familiar with some patterns that'll help him with his Zain-level-future-guessing-sharingan skill.

Niki would have adopted Ali if they'd met under better circumstances

Come on. Sure, she hates the people in Cyberaya. Sure, she stillsm feels betrayed by Aliya. BUT, if she knew how neglected Ali is at home, I don't think she'd have kept silent. She's a horrible person, but Ali is a part of Aliya, and Aliya was her best friend whether she liked it or not.

She'd groom him into a terrorist if she got a hand on a younger Ali, no doubt about that. But she'd love him as a son. That's why she got so mad and personal at a literal kid. This girl be petty.

All the adult agents have a second, normal public life when off missions

Rizwan? Bus driver. Geetha? Tuition teacher. Leon? Hand model cause he got them sick moves. You get the idea.

Rudy doesn't (seem to) go to school

So, during their Arena tournament in season 3, we got to see the junior agents wearing their school uniforms. Other than finding out that most of the agents are at secondary school level or higher, there is one tiny detail that I've only realized when I thought back to Rudy's backstory; he was from Pinggiran.

Pinggiran is a slum, likely with no form of education to speak of if even the kids living there resorts to stealing to eat.

This means Rudy never went to school and the first form of education he received was one to become an agent. Maybe that's why he's so good that even Alicia complimented him back in season 2.

If we look back at the episode, we can see the only one with the same color scheme as his is Roza, but even her uniform has a badge on it.

Rudy's "uniform" meanwhile doesn't have any sign that could be attributed to his school either on the front or the back.

Now, you can argue that it could just be a jacket. Like, I go to my uni class in my black sweater all the time but that's a university and Rudy is of school age. But try zooming in the picture. You'll see him wearing only a T-shirt inside the jacket.

So is this really a school uniform or is it just his daily wear whenever he's in public?

...okay, no, I lied

Apparently it's just an animation error. This is him in the next episode.

I legit believed it tho. WAU animation scammed me 😌

[onglai]

I like how small Ali's class is, but it's kinda strange isn't it?

Except for the two girls at the front, we know all the rest by name; Sarsi, Mia, Boy, Shaun, Viktor, Alicia, and Ali himself. Nine students in total.

Now, the strange thing here is this: why are Viktor and Alicia in this class?

If you look at the class again, one of them is a bully (Shaun), and another two don't perform very well (Ali and Boy). It's not a reach to say that this is the "backwards classroom" where the worst students are sent to.

I remember back when I was in school. I was stupid so the school put me in the furthest away class :v

Now, back to the number of students in Ali's class. The obvious reason why there are only nine is because of animation issue. Less people means less animation to do meaning it's gonna be cheaper. But say that we're coming up with an in-universe explanation for this, why are so few students in there?

Well, like I said, this class could be the backwards class where the worst of the worst are assembled to form the ultimate teaching nightmare. Which is kinda interesting isn't it?

I don't know what kinda school SRT Cyberaya 1 is, but as far as my experience goes, Malaysian schools don't only have one teacher per class. But that's not the case for Ali's school it seemed... unless 👀

Now you see, if this class is really where they put their worst students, Puan Munah teaching them makes sense. She's strict, she's scary, she's much more able to look over the rowdy and diffucult kids other than say... Cikgu Bidin.

But why, you ask, if this is supposed to be the backwards class, are Viktor and Alicia there. Well, it's not unheard of that schools would rearrange their classes so that the smart students could mix in with the not so smart ones. This introduces competition that might motivate them to do better in school.

It's arguable if the method really works, but if we go by this theory, Alicia and Viktor are there to be the competition the other students are expected to strive against. We already saw one instance of it in S2E5: Cabar where Sarsi (one-sidedly) competed with Viktor for second place 😗

[onglai]

MATA probably puts surveillance camera(s) in Ali's house.

Think about it, okay. You're a secret agency who just took in a kid who stumbled upon your existence.

You cannot trust this kid, you don't know if he's gonna blurt out your secret to other people. Pioneer's son or not, he's a threat.

So the obvious solution is to monitor him close 24/7, right?

Even in season 1 when Bakar was wrongly assumed to be a traitor, you think they would't spy on the person who was the closest with him in case they were in cohort with each other, hm??

Plus after what happened in the movie, I don't think they'd just forget and not take countermeasures should he betray them again.

Dayang may have a soft spot for him, but I doubt this is a shared sentiment among those who know what he'd done.

[onglai]

MATA is incompetent. And that's good... in a way.

Alright, hear me out.

So you see, MATA is a very young agency. So young in fact that even though they're recruiting a lot of people all their field-agents can fit in one court as Ejen Ali the Movie showcased.

During Aliya's time, they were still lacking in manpower (if they had any at all) and required all four of the pillar leaders to intervene in... *Flips note* Oh, a simple theft.

Point is, MATA was not always the all-knowing and powerful agency as we know it today. And even now, it's still weak. Think, how many times has MATA been infiltrated? There's at least once every season.

Why do you think Dayang and Ganz are hellbent on making Ali a super agent? Because they want him to take Zain and Djin's place, two of their former super agents that hard-carried the agency for as long as it's been in existence. They basically need a new trump card to prevent future infiltration, and they're hoping SATRIA is that solution.

Anywho, back to the point. How is it a good thing then that MATA is weak? Simple, because it's good for the storyline (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)

The best way to explain it is to imagine MATA as not an institution but as a character in its own right. I know it sounds nonsense but there's some sense in this, I promise.

Just as Ali and Alicia grows each season, so does MATA as an agency. Wau animation seems to have purposely made it weak in so we can see its growth alongside our main characters. Think back to every time you get frustrated that the older agents got bodied by the villains. If you think they're incompetent, that's exactly what they are. It's by design.

The thing is, they know they're weak. That's why they're currently investing in the junior agents to hopefully secure a, well, secure future for the agency. They're training Ali to wield SATRIA, they give IRIS to Alicia, who knows what else they have in store for the rest of the kids.

Thank you for coming to my tedtalk

You know what's funny? That Mrs. Ong is only known as, well, Mrs. Ong. Meanwhile, her son Viktor shares the same surname as well.

You see, unlike in western culture, Chinese women keep their maiden name when marrying. However, their children will inherit their father's name. This means that Mrs. Ong and Viktor shouldn't technically share the same surname.

This has several (hc) explanations if we try to analyze it:

Nothing crazy, she and her husband just happen to have the same surname.

It could be that Mrs. Ong is just the convenient way that people refer her with. She's just borrowing her husband's surname in unofficial situations. She still has her own surname, but is just using her husband's

Kinda cracky, but not too crazy, but she may be part of the two-headed marriage wherein one child inherits the father's surname while the other inherits the mother's. So she and Viktor shares the Ong surname, but Viktor's sibling(s) don't.

This is by far the crackiest but what if Mrs. Ong abandoned her family surname for whatever reason and decided to adopt her husband's. This sounds like a sinetron plot 😂

...and I'm taking that forth theory to explain why Mrs. Ong is an Ong in my Ong Lai fic. I love stupid ideas okay, especially if they're needlessly dramatic 😌
