A theory that Ebalon might be our ACTUAL evildoer
Okay so check this out ready?
So as it was pointed out before, this guy
ā¦might not be as chill as weāve expected, and I will present the evidences!
The hints that Ebalon could be evil have been known ever since the Ice Burner Salvatore Ebalon made its debut. If we check the description of the set, we seeā¦
Darkness is needed, huh? Very suspicious. Itās kinda obvious since the Moon represents the Dark El.
Since weāre on the Ice burner subject, we can also see the set effect name:
Mmmhmm
Anyway, that was one thing. Next up isā¦!
If you checked out this video from 2nafish, at approximately 18:17, Ebalon shows up and tells Solace about the Illuminous Phenomenon, which is described to be the act of the Lady of El gradually becoming aĀ āmere component of the Elā as she loses her humanity. Why would Ebalon tell Solace that all of a sudden? It could be because he secretly wanted to entice him into ruining the Harmony Festival by eloping with Harnier. However, Solace respected Harnierās wishes to continue her duties as the Lady of El and let her be. Sucks for Ebalon, eh?
Solace originally planned to stabilize the El without the help of the Lady of El. Kind of an impossible plan, but he believed he could find a way. However, as Iāve mentioned earlier, he cancelled the plan for Harnierās sake.
But then on the last day of the Harmony Festival (23:55), theĀ āSpectrum Phenomenon that happens when the El energy is separatedā occurred. The plan started when he didnāt even activate it. Then who couldāve done such a thing?
This event causes Solace to do what he originally planned to do and fled with Harnier, causing the El explosion to happen. After it, a mysterious person saysĀ āThis isnāt such a bad ending.ā (31:06)
The voice sounds awfully similar to Ebalonās if you squint. Coincidence? I think not.
So thatās it, thatās the entire theory. Feel free to comment your opinions and additions to this theory.
EDIT: Thereās another thing that Iāve noticed and I would like to point it out just in case: the El crystals on the Mastersā chests.
As we can see here, Denif, Harnier and Solace have blue/teal crystals, which could mean thatās the official color or something, while our boy Ebalonā¦
ā¦has a purple crystal on his chest. It could be because he represents the dark El stone, or it could mean something more⦠any thoughtsā¦?
