Proof
Where's your proof it was just a Japanese voice actor saying ritual? Theories are allowed if they're plausible. — Alex Shepherd   ツ  03:13, November 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Again, where's your proof? You likely are talking about "The Real Silent Hill Experience", but it is an unofficial documentary and is not a part of the series. Read this... — Alex Shepherd   ツ  03:34, November 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * I understand your points, and I'm glad you're not trying to be a pain. I've had to deal with bad fans in the past... so not fun.


 * You theorize that the "Are you sure"/"Ritual" is a coincidence. In our language, we have different tones and ways of speaking, and we tend to sing, placing emphasis on different parts of words. If I recorded myself saying "ritual" (with a Canadian accent eh), it would definitely sound nothing like "Are you sure?" (TwinPerfect doesn't understand this). However, the "ritual" said by the Prisoner is like "Rittturrrhaarrhaall". It's said in a very deep, drawn out, demonic voice. I wouldn't just assume that it's a Japanese accent.


 * I'm sure you know, SH is a very surreal series which plays on your imagination and subconscious. There are subliminal messages you're going to hear, and some include audio being reversed. Listen to the ending music for the Rebirth ending (in which James goes to revive Mary using the ritual ). Do you hear that weird voice at 0:55? Try playing it backwards. Perhaps the Prisoner voice is the same way. — Alex Shepherd   ツ  04:12, November 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think your theory makes a lot of sense so you can feel free to add it. I think the Prisoner could also be symbolic of Mary, stuck in a room with a bed, so James kills it to put it out of its misery (albeit with a gun rather than a pillow this time). You may also take interest in the "Tablet of the Oppressor" article on the wiki... look for the symbolism behind that, since it's also found in a cell right beside where the Prisoner is. — Alex Shepherd   ツ  22:35, November 7, 2011 (UTC)
