We see two Bendy's in the drawings at the end of Chapter 5. The melty Beast one, and one that looks ok.

And going by the clues in the Bendy series, I think I know what Henry actually looks like.

Henry must be an ink creature. He ressurects from ink wells several times, and in the finale Beast Bendy slaps Henry THROUGH A LOCKED DOOR.. which he emerges from on the other side without breaking the door, having phased through it. Just like how Beast Bendy phases through the walls.

Now, there is a pattern as to who turns into what type of character in the series.

The finished characters are always ones that particular person worked on in the studio. One they have a type of link to. The projectionist turns into.. The Projectionist. Alice's voice actor turns into Alice. And there are a lot of Boris' who don't talk, who seem to have been workers at the studio.

As you described, Joey is Beast Bendy. Matpat found a secret file where Henry was supposed to say "...Joey?" in the finale.

Now, there's no way that anybody recognizes Henry as his human self, since he's an ink creature during the games. He looks totally different now.

But somehow.. Alice (both of them) where able to tell who Henry was.. just by LOOKING AT HIM.

Whatever form Henry had, it could only have been a form that belonged to him.

Henry designed Bendy. The real one, the Good Bendy we often see in the cartoons, not the Beast Bendy who, as Hooper 3 described, was a mutated knock-off version created by Joey.

And the lore in Chapter 5 says that the character of Bendy has only ever spawned for one person before. Who we know was Joey.

... but that tape was recorded before Henry entered the Ink World.

How does everyone know who Henry is, by sight?

Why does Boris REALLY REALLY REALLY NOT TRUST Henry at first in Chapter 5?

Because Henry is BENDY. The Good One. The one character everyone is afraid of.

Joey and Henry were BOTH Bendy. Joey being Beast Bendy, and Henry being Good Bendy.

They're the two guys who worked together the most to build the studio. Two Old Friends. And in the picture with Both Bendy's at the end, it's the two of them.

This situation is so close to how William Afton and Henry made Freddy's together, that it HURTS.

Sort of like how William was the Original Freddy, before Henry made his knock-off version Fredbear.

In fact, FNAF and Bendy are so incredibly simliar in tone, too.

They're both about using a particular type of mad science to attempt to give humans immortal life a characters of some commercial franchise.

The robots at Freddy's were the horcruxes of the Afton Family. Which is why William when through the incredible effort of making autonomous robots that could move and think on their own in the 1970's.. but did NOT allow them to actually use these functions during the business hours of the Original Freddy's when customers were be there. The reason the robots are usually active at night from 12am to 6am. These power were NOT designed to entertain pizza costumers, they were supposed to be a secret.

Meanwhile, Bendy is all about infecting humans with the ink (like leaving that "chocolate cake" on the desk of that one guy (was it Sammy?) who blissfully ate it.. and got absorbed into the ink amalgam) so they can live forever as cartoon characters on a movie screen. In the way that movie stars seek immortality through film.

Bendy and FNAF are AMAZINGLY closely related. Right down to the major mechanic, and even the name of some of the characters, like Henry and Sammy.

It's weird, isn't it? It's almost like someonw as telling the FNAF story in a different media, so that when the answer did come to light, people had another major franchise story that they could relate to already made, to make it easier to understand.

So please.. if you have something constructive to say? Go right ahead.

But don't tell me my ideas are crazy.

FNAF isn't nonsensical and disfunctional. It's a visionary project that did things that nobody had ever done before.

And don't tell me people will never accept these ideas.

Because with Bendy? They already do.
