The ENTIRE Lore of Hot N Cold and Rasputin from Just Dance

There are so many theories swirling around the potential break-up of Hot N Cold and Rasputin, so I'm here to give an unsolicited deep dive on more JUST DANCE LORE.

ヾ（〃＾∇＾）ﾉ♪

Fun fact: Rasputin’s avatar in JD23 has the caption “Yeah, I was in a boy band, but we all have a past, right?” And I like to think that the map for YMCA is actually Rasputin and the boy band he is in performing.

[t-b]

Fun fact; It may not be much, but when you watch Sweet but Psycho with no hud, you can see at the end that Rasputin points to his right side and then runs of screen. As if someone is still at the wedding avenue

Anyone else noticing how Avery has her hair like Sweet But Psycho?

My theory is quite long so have fun reading:
Rasputin and The Bride met at the TGIF party, and she helped Liza Friday unleash her true self.
In ALL-STARS mode, they also met but were like friends. During that journey, Rasputin also met Body Movin' and danced with her a bit.
In Sugar, they got married.
Now we know that in JD23: Night Swan kidnaps Liza Friday and unleashes minions into the TGIF world (we can see the portal in the background), so its most likely that she also went to the original maps of Hot N Cold and Rasputin.
The stained glass coaches in the Just Dance map may represent Icona Shard's friends, so while she was in prison she tried to warn them about Night Swan coming, a reason that Rasputin could've been late to the wedding was that he was fleeing from the attack.

The reason why The Bride became corrupted is that she had suffered a lot of trauma: she saw Liza Friday turn into a minion, Rasputin went missing on her wedding day and most likely Night Swan's energy affected her negatively, changing her.

Ok you are officially the just dance lore master right now. We need more of these lore analysis videos frfr! 😍

I like to believe that Rasputin was just late and was stuck in traffic and that hot and cold was just dancing for hours

[Cxrmn]

"He thought he could break them out of prison, and go back in time for his wedding"
Translates to:
He took a calculated risk, but boy was he bad at math💀💀

I have a different theory. It does related to Body Movin’. Maybe the bride misunderstood the situation of Hungarian Dance No.5. She got so jealous and she maybe thought Rasputin was a cheater. That’s why she’s going psycho, thus Sweet but Psycho.

Im so flipping happy that Brandi is getting the recognition she deserves for her theories! I love her content! Amazing video Avery as always!

[Dan-bts]

And now in 24 they introduced "I am my own muse" by fob which is
1) the first fob song in jd
2) rasputins side of it

[Nikki-lxpc]

I have a theory that Rasputin was captured by night swan, by him getting freed with everyone else at the end of majesty, that would explain why he’s not at the altar for their wedding. Sweet but psycho would start mid way through majesty, Rasputin getting back right after the song ended and the bride left before he could make it. This would also explain why he’s looking around confused at the end of the song.

[finleybaker]

My theory is actually quite similar to that! I think icona shard called rasputin to get her out of jail on his wedding day, and he agreed. He was making his way to the prison, yet in fear of being captured by the night Swan, he backed out. This explains Why he came back to the wedding at the end of sweet but psycho, and why icona was so mad she was able to break all the gaga coaches out of jail.

I have a little experience in animation and videogame design
There is always lore behind the scenes, characters will always have names and backstory, not too complex, just enough
So, as a fellow animator im glad to see this information become "public"

[muffin_is_here]

It's crazy how one rhythm game can have so much lore

[emilywheeler]

This is so crazy that there is now lore in just dance 2023! Thanks for these videos, I love them! ❤

[ewangubb]

I LOVE THIS THEORYYYY it’s totally the best I’ve heard and I’m CONVINCED it’s right - I always assumed that something went wrong with the wedding but it was unintentional, hence why Rasputin came back for the bride at the end of SbP

[sofiakawaii]

My theory (in parts):
1-The day before the wedding, Hot N Cold discovered that Rasputin was cheating on her, so she came up with a plan to kill him In revenge.
2-First she tried to poison him, but it didn't work.
-“So, someone said ‘Don’t drink her potions’” (Sweet But Psycho)
-“They put some poison into his wine (…). He drank it all and said ‘I feel fine’” (Rasputin)
3-Seeing that it didn't work, she took a gun and shot him.
-“‘Grab a cop gun’ kinda crazy” (Sweet But Psycho)
-“And so they shot him til he was dead” (Rasputin)
4-Thinking that Rasputin was dead, Hot N Cold expelled all the guests and took out his anger by destroying the place, what she didn't know was that he had pretended to be dead and fled from that place.
-“Oh, those russians…”

[danielharding]

Theory: What if Night Swan IS the Bride, and is using her Anger against those she was friends with before as they may also be friends with Rasputin.

[BassiKun]

Okay, so we know he didn't cheat, and we know it all seems to be a misunderstanding from The Bride's part.

Omg YES I am so glad that you did this it explains so much about the relationship between the bride and Rasputin keep up the good work Avery ☺️
