Welcome, wandering souls

• Cerberus gets along well with Tiny Fang, Beelzebub’s dragon familiar in IDO!

• Belphegor loves when MC praises him for managing to stay awake in class

• The bloody acokanthera oblongifolia is a poisonous flower of the Devildom

• Satan told MC he is sometimes astounded by Mammon’s simpleness

• Cursed cutlery tried to force Mammon to eat a green pepper so Beelzebub stepped in and ate the pepper and the fork along with it

• Belphegor thinks it’s not worth looking into a demon’s heart as there’s nothing worth while seeing

• Asmodeus’s neck is extremely sensitive

• The sheep dango is Mammon’s favorite

• Luke thinks springtime picnics in the Devildom are scary but is willing to go if MC wants to

• It was once implied Diavolo might eat his enemies

If so, why would he make us go into the past and why would he act oblivious, knowing it could cause severe consequences to the timeline and could get us stuck there?

1. Is Barbatos Nightbringer?

Yes.

I don’t think something needs to be said in words for it to be obvious that something is the case.

It’s spelled out for us in every way except for words.

The trailer for game implied it, nightbringer talks to solomon exactly like Barbatos does, Barbatos has said to have never been a child and Nightbringer is the father of demons, Barbatos is said to have been stronger than previous demon kings, Barbatos and NightBringer both have the ability over time and Barbatos immediately knew MC was from the future and in some dialogue options covered for their mistake.

Also the game would not have logically created an entirely new character Nightbringer that we never see or hear from. If NightBringer were someone else it would have been stated that he was but it’s not.

I believe it’s 100% canon that Barbatos and NightBringer are the same person but some might disagree because it’s not said in words.

2. Why would he make us go to the past and act oblivious knowing it could have severe consequences?

Because the timeline would be completely different if MC hadn’t gone to the past. MC is responsible for the brothers coming to terms with their demonic selves, for Satan’s obsession with cats, for Levi’s love of anime, and many other things that directly affect the future including Diavolo becoming the person he is in the present timeline. They also rescued Lucifer and his brothers from imprisonment in Cocytus.

Solomon is also responsible for a few major things including Mammon’s gambling habit.

Them being sent to the past directly affects/creates the present timeline.

Barbatos acts oblivious because he doesn’t want to be confronted about his choices or asked to change them when it’s for what he considers the best outcome. (He can see timelines and outcomes where he didn’t summon us to the past and the disasters that could’ve been including Lucifer getting forever trapped in Cocytus)
