For a few seasons now , Game of Thronesfans have been convert that Jon Snow is the prophesized Prince That Was promise , and would be the person to finally save Westeros . Now , since Arya Stark was the one to kill the Night King in the late episode “ The Long Night , ” many have begin to believe that she is the choose one . But a fan hypothesis from Reddit userObrienbfstill consider Jon is the most potential challenger .
If you ’re unfamiliar with the divination , the Prince That Was promise in the TV show is the predicted savior in the Lord of Light religion ( the A Song of Ice and Fire Word of God series differs a bit ) . We hear of it first by Melisandre agency back when Stannis Baratheon was alive , because the Red Priestess believedhewas that Prince . But she later on decide it was Jon , who she brought back from the dead to fulfill his function .
devotee will remember that Jon was the one to fetch everyone together for the Battle of Winterfell , although he never actually contend the Night King one - on - one . The devotee argues that he ’s still the Prince That Was Promised , but did n’t have to be the one to take down the Night King , in the main because the undead leader do it who he was and on purpose annul fight him . According to the idealogue :
The theory gets even more complex when the substance abuser excuse why Arya Stark and Melisandre may have come together in the latest episode to take down the Night King . The Redditor recalls thefan theorythat Jaqen H’ghar is really Rhaegar Targaryen to back up this thought . The devotee then speculates that Jaqen joins the Faceless Men and memorize that not only could the Lord of Light help in vote down the Night King but also the Many - Faced God , and in the end , the theorist believe , he trains Arya to become an assassin who could facilitate Jon , a.k.a . The Prince That Was Promised , end The Long Night . This could be why Melisandre move to Essos : to meet Rhaegar and come back to Winterfell to avail Arya .
While this theory is rather complex and has a lot of moving piece , we ’re not ready to can the estimate that Jon is the Prince That Was Promised . He was add back from the dead for a reason , after all . Let ’s hope we find out what that reason is in the last three episodes ofGame of Thrones .
