The Ring timeline is one of the most insane and convoluted chronologies I’ve EVER covered on this channel. If you haven’t read the books, you’re missing out on OCEANS of lore.

In this video, I’ll trace every major event in Koji Suzuki’s Ring saga, from the creation of the virtual biosphere, Loop, to Sadako’s curse, to how every piece of Ring media ever created fits into the timeline canonically. I’ll be breaking down what the story teaches us about life, technology, simulation theory and more. If you thought the story ended at Ringu or The Ring, think again. Like Sadako’s well, this curse runs deeper than you ever imagined…

  1. Me: "Oh cool. A timeline video on The Ring series. This will be a fun little summary of a Japanese spooky story."

    Video: "So, some American and Japanese programmers got together and made a whole a$$ universe inside a computer-"

    Me: "Wait…WTH?!?!?!"

  2. CZ: "…Loop…"
    Me watching, having only seen Ringu, Ring 1, and Ring 2: 🙂🙃😞😭😮😫🧐 "Oh, two universes? Small Pox from watching a tape? Asexual reproduction? I don't get. Impregnated the whole theatre?? Oops, all Sadako???? OH, that makes sense…! No, wait, it was all to kill Ryuji? The fuck he do? Why are some Sadakos hostile and others not…? WAIT! I understand it now…! Ryuji is goated. Got it."

  3. This is relatable with todays world. AI(Artificial Intelligent) companies collecting people's data and information, they can create a loop on where each people who fed the AI's with there data's(pictures, videos, voices) and information's(name, age, birthdate, etc.) will be replicated in that loop(digital world). Keep feeding the machine people, some AI CEO out there will make a digital copy of you.

  4. Okay this might be a stretch, a really big one lol, and completely off topic kinda. But after listening to all this, I couldn’t help to see A LOT of similarities between these books and Call of Duty Zombies storyline. If you know anything about that, it gets extremely convoluted and confusing just like this, saitiko/Samara and Samantha are pretty close, simulations, loops, creators, viruses, clones of the same people, infinite timelines….idk….i could be tweakin…..just maybe the people at treyarch back in the day were big fans of this author

  5. Hey @CZsWorld! Check out Cherry Falls (1999) please! It also has a theme regarding teenagers engaging in sexual activities ( the opposite tho, the killer kills virgins)

  6. This is the most complex video you have made yet. I am, once again, blown away by your research and explanation skills. You are amazing. I am really thankful for this video.

  7. I love the reference at @48:07 regarding save states, especially for Pokemon Silver since that was my favorite game as a kid. It hit me right in the nostalgia and was a relatable part of the video!

  8. Before Hollywood turned her into a horror icon, Annabelle was just a ragged doll locked away by paranormal investigators. The stories surrounding her — possession, curses, and terror — blurred the line between folklore and fear.
    Do you believe Annabelle is truly haunted, or just a chilling legend kept alive by storytelling?
