The Rickon plot clue hidden in Arya's 'Game of Thrones' fight montage
Warning: This post contains spoilers from Season 6 of Game of Thrones.
A girl has no name but lots of theories.
Reddit user singh_sahil24 posted a new fan theory to the Game of Thrones subreddit Wednesday that connects Arya's Faceless Man training to the fates of her brothers.

The theory, summarized in a GIF, suggests that each way the Waif attacks Arya in her training mirrors the ways other characters got injured (sometimes fatally).
The connection isn't all too interesting, until you realize Arya's youngest brother, Rickon, has yet to have any notable harm done to him. He also happened to be dropped at Ramsay Bolton's doorstep in the most recent episode.
So was this the showrunners' way of giving the audience a taunting clue about Rickon's legs? (We unfortunately know how much Ramsay likes to cut off things.)
Or Arya's training may have been just that -- considering another popular fan theory suggests Rickon is actually a plant, sent by Stark loyalists, the youngest Warden of the North may keep all his toes.
One thing we know for sure: Shaggydog's a goner.
BONUS: The night is dark and full of terrors! Wocka wocka!
