So, I'm proposing a different kind of theory/discussion thread. It's not focused on any theory of some sort. I just want to collect every piece of a clue that we may have about the why-man. For example, as it was Soyuz presentation in the first few chapters without a name.
Obviously, we have spoilers from the latest chapter.
I propose the division of the clues/hints in 2 categories: direct and indirect. Direct ones are related to his known acts. Indirect ones are "theory-dependent", i.e. depends on some connection not yet shown, or at least a bit of more reasoning/extrapolation. Also include any conclusion based on the time-span of the series/petrification/etc, or maybe just some unexplained events.
I'm going to post a few, then you can comment on them and include others.
Direct Clues
- Has access to radio communication
- Knows the Medusa is voice-activated and how it works
- Changes the behavior from Morse code to voice during the time-span of the last arc
-Uses/Has Senku's voice/Senku-like voice
- Uses a synthetic an automated/recorded Senku-like voice
- Communication coming from the moon at regular time period
- Stopped communicating after 2nd global petrification
Indirect Clues
- Unknown man/woman rescued by Taiju when rescuing the petrified people from Perseus: can be related to how the island people have the Medusa. The why-man could have been the one that gifted them the Medusa, or has lost it to then, or any kind of change of possession. Can also be related to the creation of the Medusa, if it's now the one from 3700 years ago (apparently yes given the speed, more on that later)
- The Medusa, being different from the one used 3700 years ago, indicates connection between the why-man and the people from the island
- No signal has been detected by Rei during her time awaken on the station (kind of a direct clue, uncertain territory)
- If is from past time, survived everything that Rei witnessed during the 3700 years
- Senku's scars do not vanish after de-petrification with the new fluid (TWICE)
- Some birds were petrified around the day of the human petrification, all over the world
- Possibly the responsible for sending lots of Medusas to Treasure Island from the Moon centuries ago
- Possibly the responsible for millions of Medusas in Manaus -- sent/built from somewhere -- in the 1st petrification
- Hermit Theory: Medusas sent/Petrification Activated when the world is in danger of something
