Stranger Things Season 5: Evidence Will Will Sacrifice, Lose Something Important
Will Byers is rumored to die in Stranger Things season 5 through many signs.
Stranger Things season 5 marks the end of the franchise that made Netflix’s name. The return of Vecna will make Eleven’s (Millie Bobby Brown) group of friends have to fight hard, but it is difficult to avoid sacrifice and loss. Currently, the most popular theory about the ending of Stranger Things season 5 is the “teased” departure of Will Byers (Noah Schnapp).

Specifically, according to the analysis of a TikTok account named @cinebiettuot that has been gaining attention recently, Will Byers has shown many signs of being sacrificed in Stranger Things season 5. This comes from the fact that Will is likely an avatar of the villain Vecna, but in fact the boy is “more important” than that. The theory is that from the beginning, Will was chosen by the Mind Flayer entity.
In season 4, Will drew a picture of young warriors fighting to destroy the three-headed dragon. These three heads could represent the Mind Flayer entity, Vecna, and himself. All three identities share a connection, in which the Mind Flayer controls both Vecna and Will (instead of Vecna controlling the Mind Flayer as he thought).

Will is connected to the Mind Flayer and Vecna, and Will must sacrifice himself to end it all.
In addition, all the strange events that happen in Stranger Things originate from the moment Will was taken away. From this moment on, it is very possible that Will has been “manipulated” by the Mind Flayer. In the end, Eleven will most likely have to eliminate her friend to free everyone.
In addition, there is still another theory that is making the Stranger Things fan community excited. According to the analysis of the account @jenks.p, Will will lose one eye before “dying” for the greater good.

Will could lose an eye.
Stranger Things season 2 introduced a character named Phineas Gage, who lost an eye after being impaled by an iron rod. When the character was mentioned in class, the camera often focused on Will. Then in season 4, a scene was filmed “accidentally but intentionally” showing an iron rod blocking the middle of Will’s left eye.

The angle implies that Will will lose one eye.
Until the recent Stranger Things season 5, if you pay close attention to some promotional posters, you will realize that Will never appears with both eyes clearly like his friends. One of his eyes is always obscured in the dark, as a hint for his sacrifice. In addition, in one poster, Vecna’s eye is also obscured.
Linking with the previous hypothesis, it is very likely that Will will actually have to sacrifice one eye in exchange for Vecna’s eye, as an act to pave the way for victory for his group of friends. This is also a detail in the Dungeons & Dragrons game that Will’s group of friends often plays, with an item called “Eye of Vecna” that can only be obtained if the player sacrifices one of his eyes.

Will has one eye “missing” on some movie posters.

In this poster, one of Vecna’s eyes is covered.
Stranger Things season 5 is coming in just a few days, bringing to a close one of Netflix’s most explosive franchises. The return of Eleven will bring a satisfying, yet emotional finale with predictable sacrifices. The show will be released in two batches, with the first on November 26 and the second on Christmas.
