He should have been very dead from his fall beneath the ice of the lake, whether from the cold or drowning for as long as he was underwater. There's also the fact that Jon seems to have a very special sword in Longclaw, as we saw in Season 7's "Beyond the Wall." Although the episode director debunked a theory about the wolf on the pommel, we can't ignore the significance of Jon emerging from the icy depths in the perfect place to pick up his sword again. There's not a whole lot of time remaining, and naming Jon "Aegon" rather than Jahaerys or Aemon or some other Targaryen name would be a straightforward way of fulfilling Rhaegar's prophecy.įortunately, the name "Aegon" and the annulment of Rhaegar's marriage to Elia aren't the only bits of evidence that Jon might be Azor Ahai. Only six episodes are left, and Thrones may need to settle the Azor Ahai question sooner rather than later in Season 8. Game of Thrones seems to have simply left that version of Aegon out of the show entirely, and could be applying the prophecy to Jon first and foremost without any detours. Of course, the baby Aegon of the books is definitely not Jon Snow, as he was the son of Rhaegar and Elia, not Rhaegar and Lyanna, and he either died in the sack of King's Landing or was smuggled away to safety.
Besides, as the son of a Stark and a Targaryen, Jon is the product of ice and fire. Rhaegar chooses to name him Aegon, claiming that he is "the prince that was promised," and "his is the song of ice and fire." If Rhaegar's statement about a son named Aegon as the prince that was promised is accurate, then Jon is clearly going to seize his destiny as Azor Ahai. In a pivotal chapter of A Clash of Kings, Dany sees a vision of her brother after the birth of his son. In the Season 7 finale, we learned that Lyanna and Rhaegar had originally named their son Aegon Targaryen. The most obvious new clue that Jon could be Azor Ahai likely jumped out to A Song of Ice and Fire book readers immediately.
