The Mandela Catalogue Vol. 5

A placeholder image. Yes I did just make this while making this page.

The Mandela Catalogue Vol. 5 is an upcoming installment of the series The Mandela Catalogue. Vol. 5 is believed to take place some time before or during the initial Alternate invasion, with Mark and Cesar as the central characters once again.

## Currently known information

* (Everything below could possibly change as AK is still early in development. All below statements are taken from Alex Kister on twitter such as QnAs and Spaces
* Archangel Gabriel will appear as Alex Kister put it as being a "lil bit" and it will not necessarily be focused on him.
* Vol. 5 will take place during 1992 putting it around the events of Vol. 333, Intruder Alert, and The Mandela Catalogue Vol. 1
* The Intruder will not directly appear in this volume. Alex is vague on 6's role in the episode and when asked if "Stanley" will appear, he simply said "yes but no but yes."
	+ Alex Kister feels that Intruder is connected to BPS related characters such as Sarah Heathcliff, Adam Murray, and Evelin Miller and this episode will be in 1992, before 2007 where those 3 characters become relevant.
* Beginner's Bible will have minor appearances.
* Thatcher Davis will appear though not that importantly in this installment.
* N will appear.
* Mark Heathcliff will appear.
* Ruth Weaver will appear.
	+ Ruth will possibly have a new voice actor
* Cesar Torres and possibly His Alternate will appear, though not directly.
* The reason possibly why many characters won't be that important is because Vol. 5 will be the most horror/atmosphere-focused episode compared to any of the past episodes.
* Vol. 5 will possibly have the most 3D scenes out of all of the episodes. Refer to the bulletpoint above for that possible reason.
	+ Live action and 2D will also be apart of it aswell.
	+ Real life on set locations to film the live action scenes.
* Vol. 5 will be the least character driven of all the episodes.
* Vol. 5 will be a very important episode lore wise with Alex Kister's 7/10 on importance scale.
* Vol. 5 will end up being shorter than Vol. 4 according to Alex Kister on Discord.
* Vol. 5 will likely be released in late 2024 as unsurely claimed by Alex Kister on Discord.
	+ Alex Kister has also stated Summer or Spring 2024.
* Three themes that will be focused on in Vol. 5 will be quote, "deterioration, delusion, the mind"
* Grapes Upon The Vine by Tv Girl is a song that fits this volume
* The episode will be "calm and quiet but uncomfortable"
* Though the episode is not only early in production and Kister doesn't know the length of TMC episodes till they're put together, Kister predicts the episode will be around 30 minutes long.
* The episode will likely release at 8 or 9pm CST.
* Vol.5's style will be similar to a "enhanced" vol333/vol1r style which going by the teasers, fits the black and white, grainy, dark tone those volumes had.
* The Preacher will not be in Vol. 5 though she will return in an future installment
* Vol. 5 will be stylized similar to "a short film that you shouldn't be watching."
* The Murray Family will be the main characters though Jude Murray will be one of the mains if not the main of the episode
	+ Alex Kister went location scouting for Vol. 5 and he found an, in his opinion, amazing set that he spoke on directly while speaking on the Murrays.
	+ Voiceover Requiem (Jude's voice actor) was somewhat feral over this fact, posting several reaction emojis.
* There will likely be no new characters besides small, likely irrelevant ones.
* An Alternate that has appeared long ago within the series will appear again and have more information learnt on them.
	+ It is not Cesar's Alternate.
	+ It could be "N."
	+ It could be the Vol.333 Alternate.
* Sarah Heathcliff will be seen in the episode though as a small child.
* There is a turkey in Vol.5
* The Alternate example people as seen in the Vol. 1R will possibly appear.
* Alex Kister believes Vol. 5 will be more "Creepy" than "scary."
* Vol. 5 will possibly have its own OST video released.
