A lost soul drifting in the flow of time

Hey anon!

As many might recall in analysis or posts, I've discussed about a friend who has a deep insight regarding OnS

Soo today it has finally happened!

https://www.tumblr.com/angepostsblog?source=share

Pffff 😂😂😂😂😂

Bizarre? Omg, this reminds me of how Kiana Kaslana would suggest eating Honkai Beasts.

To be fair, Idk haha 😅 what are they even made of?

The best way to show this intention is back in chapter 117 i think, where you clearly see Ashera with Krul in what seems to be "paradise", because they're together, right? Yet the next panel shows the crude reality, the people they killed, whose lifes were traded in a non natural way for them. Ashera sees the truth and is conflicted about it, yet Krul seems oblivious to reality. In this scenario, I feel like Ashera is Mikaela, Yuu is Krul. One is partially aware, yet chooses to remain in the present comfort and the other is constantly seeking a past feeling long gone.

Hey anon!

Hnm, well, let's dig on this.

First of all, it's true what you say about how it ends up turning into a viscious cycle of neverending of "repeating the same mistake".

1. Character insight towards the cycle

Shikama

At 1st, Shikama tried resurrecting Mikaela in order to prolong the life of his angels along bringing back the rest of the angels; but of course, that ended up in failure.

As the big OP angel said, because Shikama broke one of the biggest taboos within the laws, it's not simply law but rather, the main message that's been focused on transmiting.

That gratitude of life was forsaken, but here, let's not dwell on the right/wrong; but rather, narrative wise speaking, we're talking about how love has two faces very independent of how it's directed.

1. Love binded by order and gratitude

2. Selfish love

Shikama falls in the latter. Paimon specially told Shikama to not lose his path; he begged him to do what it was supposed to be the correct thing to do instead of losing his path; yet Shikama due to the deep love he felt for his followers, he chose to follow on a plan that literally highlighted "if God can create miracles, then I shall too cast one".

Which of course, the result ended up on his eternal punishment.

Guren

Regarding Guren, his action is more akin to a curse because eventually, the whole end of the world was bound to happen. For that, let's rely on the Catastrophe manga this time.

Very independent of how readers might interpret Mahiru; canonically speaking, Mahiru knew from the get go she wasn't bound to be happy, nor was bound to live beyond her 16 years of life. She knew she was someone whose wings were cut and set in stone.

The purpose of the Hiragi sisters was to control fully the Seraph of the End experiment. Mahiru was the one to create the cursed gear; Shinoa being the perfect result was made to control that punishment.

However, when it came to Guren, he understood that he couldn't save anyone, nor he wanted to go further, he was too devastated for that because ever since he met Mahiru, he fell in love with her; he understood with time that Mahiru didn't live like a spoiled girl under the Hiragi Family but the latter.

And what we see upon Guren is absolute despair, but along the way Guren has been able to defy "Fate" which is further mentioned in the Catastrophe & Resurrection at 19 LNs. Guren was made so he could oppose the fate directed by Shikama Doji.

And it was true, Mahiru would have wanted Guren to not get involved; but given that she was constantly struggling to retain control over her demons, along the fact that Guren was set on stone on a path of aiming to rescue the girl he loved. That's why Guren chose to get involved (it didn't help Rigr Stafford to mixed into the equation)

Ultimately, if Guren wasn't triggering, a team would have made for certain the punishment to make the world end. However, given that it was him, he carried on the sin.

Ultimately, in Vampire Reign story, Guren tried to control much better the divine punishment by just reviving humanity, yet for him, he was tired, he had enough, he only wanted to heal the world or fix what Shikama Doji's plan was focused on.

For him, it's not that he didn't value life, but his purpose is driven by guilt and seeking salvation for humanity.

Yuu

Contrast to the two mentioned above; Yuu's driven by guilt. Given that he didn't value the love given to him after he was healing regarding his 1st family aka his parents; when the kids get killed, Yuu literally loses it, he pretty much wants to die yet for Mika, it was a matter of living, of escaping, of being free.

And given that the resurrection became a possibility for him, he started to sink into an endless loop. To make it worse, it just didn't stop in humanity, it spread to the point he wants to bring Shikama, the vampires and angels back.

And this of course has left him on a point of him doing the same thing as Shikama. Not valuing life in the slightest.

I mean, he casually says this:

Mika is concerned cause it's not just some casual topic, he's talking about their friends, the ones who followed Yuu for the sake of his happiness. (They engaged into the idea of resurrection after Guren killed Mirai and mentioned the whereabouts of Tomoe).

Now. You mentioned this

Yuu = Krul

Mika = Ashera

This in fact is the opposite.

Krul and Mika are on the same opinion that immortality should come to an end. Whereas Yuu is doing exactly what Ashera did back in the past, hence why Ashera's lines:

Ashera at the end understood that they were supposed to long have perished. But because at that time immortality and the fact of seeing his sister again felt like heaven, he didn't pay much attention to it.

But when he knew his sister was there, concerned about him despite his reckles acts, he understood he made his baby sister suffer way worse than a single life, he made her suffer for thousand of years.

But as you can see, Yuu has sunk in that loop to the bitter end, while the squad has chosen to stand against that.

If Yuu were to win, there would be no meaning unless the author seeks to portray a delusional protagonist if he were to focus on a tragic end.

It will depend on what exactly the author seeks at the end.

What do you think anon?

Hello everyone, as of late, I've been receiving a lot anon questions (aka anon ask) which are very interesting, I thank you anons for sending your questions, it's actually sweet to exchange insights, views, and so on.

This time, due to the question one anon made and because it literally needs a lot of length, I chose to create a post instead of just replying. (Also being comfortable in laptop hehe)

Anyways, first, this is the anon post:

Let's officially begin with the analysis!

While it's true it can be annoying regarding how Mika's current state plays in terms of always doing what Yuu does, there's something we tend to ignore dear anon and readers, what could it be?

Narrative wise speaking, Mika is, like the rest of the characters tied to a tale; he's for sure the most logical of the group and the voice of reason like you mentioned in your post.

However, let's not forget one thing; contrast to the rest of the human characters, Mikaela went through several transitions contrast to the others. If you want to read more about those transitions, here's the post:

Mikaela the human was a boy or a child that deeply valued each single moment and second he spent with the Hyakuya Orphanage kids; he became the brother figure for them and always looked after them even after Yuu joined the Orphanage along the 4 years they spent in the vampire capital.

1. Mikaela walks a path just like the rest of the characters

As readers, we tend to ignore that he too is an adolescent and that just like any other character, he faces mistakes along strong judgement regarding things; this of course leads to him having a clouded insight regarding humans and vampires. What do I mean?

Back when he became a half vampire, he mentioned he went to oversea trips on which he saw horrors regarding the Seraph of the End experiment; this of course gave him a solid insight regarding humanity:

However, even if it's true that the horrors different humans made through that experiment, it's not exactly correct to tag all humanity because many kids and youngsters that exist without ties to the Army, are pretty much like lost lambs.

Because of this, the way his communication goes with the squad turns good but they don't try to engage in deeper talk regarding the whole theme of the resurrection given that it's at the end of the day, something Yuu deeply focuses through the story.

2. The voice of reason that fights against the wall

Let's take an insight when he was a vampire. This of course is visible in one of the posts in the links.

First of all, there were countless times Mikaela warned Yuu about how getting greedy could lead to a path of doom regarding the resurrection, right?

Here's a master post about it but I'll update few images about it: (the post originally was about an anon having an insight whenever there was some biasis regarding Shinoa and what not, however the post focuses on how Mikaela was the very first character to go against the resurrection (and that I pretty much agreed with his insight from the get go).

Mikaela was heavily against it; the squad on the other hand were hesitant and I'd dare to say they too were against it but given that it was Yuu's happiness, they chose to follow him on that journey because they too gave priority to keep Yuu safe from losing control.

But no matter how hard Mikaela tried to convince Yuu to drop it, Yuu ultimately said this:

At this point, Mikaela as a vampire, officially gave up on trying to change Yuu's mind regarding the whole topic of the resurrection:

At this point, Mikaela chooses to follow Yuu not because he's happy but because his words simply won't reach Yuu; so, the only thing he can do is to protect him; to ensure that if the plan were to be something that endangered Yuu, it'd be the time he'd act. Which is something we see in chapter 85-89.

Mikaela fought until his dying breath to keep Yuu safe, but, we're actually avoiding one question. What could it be? Correct.

3. Judgement driven by guilt

Contrast to Yuu who is driven by obsession which is heavily pointed by Mikaela back in chapter 118; Mikaela is driven by guilt.

But, is that guilt good or bad?

Surprisingly, it plays on both sides.

The good side of that guilt is that Mikaela is allowed to think things carefully; if anything, that gives him the insight to avoid the whole resurrection idea a try since he deeply valued the life of the kids and, as a vampire, the only thing that mattered was to ensure the only life remaining left standing which is Yuu. Very independent from how people view them (friends/ship); Mikaela's priority has been that, Yuu's safety and that Yuu manages to live a good life.

However, because he feels guilt which is something Yuu knows very well, that's a resource Yuu exploits very well:

For sure, no one denies Yuu's sadness, however, Yuu ignores a lot what Mikaela feels as well that it goes against the principle of reason Mika carries. This of course is visible too in Chapter 148:

Because of this, because Mika loved the Hyakuya kids he viewed as family, his guilt drives him to cooperate with Yuu against his better judgement.

Before we talk a bit about Yuu, let's touch the next point:

4. Mika's principles

Quoting you anon: "He's his demon ffs, he can literally possess him to forbid him doing anything stupid."

This actually goes with Mika's principles. Even as a vampire, he felt utter disgust for drinking Yuu's blood because he wanted to prove he wouldn't use Yuu like humans did; and this replicates once he becomes his demon given that Yuu did tell him he allowed him to possess him; Mika retorts to this:

Given that Mika views Yuu as his most important family to protect, even if he could possess him, he won't do it precisely because the guilt along the very fact he treasures him, he won't resort to it; the only way he could resort to it was if Yuu were actualy to sacrifice himself, that's a possibility in there.

Now, replying another point and this is given by my best friend:

5. Mika as a demon reflects he's the voice of reason that gave up

Contrast to the "he" who was a vampire; Mika as a demon is fully aware that he cannot be that same guiding voice like his vampire self used to be. Mika can only watch and accept Yuu's path because he no longer believes he can't stop Yuu; Yuu's for sure following a path of destruction way worse than Shikama's; however this is something within narrative point; that's the way his character is designed to be. One that even if his morals are high, something or a force will halt them from ever blooming.

That's why he follows or has a passive role in contrast to his vampire self.

Now, last point

6. Yuu's not the typical protagonist nor follows the typical trope narrative wise speaking

Us as readers tend to get used to the hero saving the day, doing good deeds, saving girls in distress or people in general, having their soulmate with them.

However, Yuu doesn't fall in that role of protagonist; if anything, it starts with that principle only to get stained. However, it's not bad writing per se, rather, it's another insight within narrative that shows that not all protagonists are bound to follow the rules.

Yuu is exactly the opposite of Shinoa; whereas Shinoa came to treasure human life, Yuu has walked away from it; he manipulates, he seeks power, he seeks way more to the point of shattering rules if it means getting what he wants.

And because of this, it's that Mikaela turns into a rather tragic character that is set between the sword and the wall; he's unable to move freely because guilt and the love he holds chain him down even if he knows Yuu's doing wrong.

What do you think dear readers and anons?

Let me know!

Hmmm... I have an answer but it'll be extremely long. Sooo, give me a bit of time anon. Because surprisingly, there's a real explanation to this. 😅

P.S: My bestie liked your insight (she loves Mika so much at at first, long ago, she had this kind of questioning until her insight changed due to her master degree)

Actually, Mahiru wanted Shinoa to gain confidence. (Of course that was asking something quite hard considering Shinoa pretry much had an adversion to the whole concept of falling in love. Like some anon said before, Shinoa's vision and insight towards emotions in general were on black and white: feel = possessed; don't feel = safe)

Let's recall that legendary panel:

At that time, Shinoa kept people at bay; she did treasure her teammates but not to the point of her allowing herself to feel; besides, at that point Shikama Doji was pretty much tied to Tenri Hiragi.

This is heavily visible until her confrontation with Shikama is inevitable (aka back in Ch. 74); she didn't really care about herself if she was cone forever considering she had low self steem

But, after she got rescued, after everything that happened; you could say she started to see that her emotions weren't exactly evil; it all depended on how she handled them in order to actually pull a fight against Shikama.

For example, back in Ch. 99, she admited she was in love, it was evident but she pushed away the idea until saw she didn't go insane, lost herself or the sort; rather, it was a human emotion, something all humans face at one point of their lives. If anything, thanks to that push, that gave her the courage to stand and fight against the very entity that pretty much screwed her life:

At that point, she thought love = reason to live; but due to the events of Ch. 115-120, and up to Ch. 133, she understood just because she was in love didn't mean it was all there to life; if anything, it was more. It was about that philosophical question "the meaning of life".

Of course, for her, Mitsu or any other loving her does not make difference because it's something defined, something certain. She didn't reach a point of giving herself value because due to the past and the LNs, no one expected anything from her, no one was interested in her, and so, she thought that her dying would upset no one.

However, now things are different. Thanks to that push, thanks to the fact she realized that even if she loved Yuu, and Yuu left, it wasn't the end of the world; if anything, it was just starting.

And thanks to knowing she has the support of her squad, that she can express her emotions, that she can be a normal girl, that she can rely on others, it's when she actually pulls the fight against Shikama.

Her resolution of course has been boosted further thanks to her squad's support but also thanks to Mahiru's words.

Mahiru knew Shinoa has been powerful; back when Shinoa was a kid, she had to do bad to guarantee Shinoa wouldn't be subjected to further experimentation; and she made sure Shinoa hardened her heart so Shikama couldn't toy with it. That's why when Shinoa turned 16, it was the time Shinoa had to face her own battle:

So that's pretty much it anon.

Or am I looking at this completely wrong?

I wouldn't take Ferid's words seriously. But with Crowley, you could say he did find a friend.

If I were to talk about his bonds; Crowley's bond was a genuine one. And that's something reflected on his expression along the EN & JP versions.

For Krul, I'd dare to say he enjoyed teasing her to some degree but perhaps it was a way to keep himself entretained. He sought fun and it was true he did have fun when he was with the whole squad.

But at the end, he fought for his dream.

(Of course that does not excuse what he did).

What do you think anon?

Hmm, I'd say your question is unexpected rather than weird.

Canonically speaking:

Guren Ichinose - Pretty much the Catastrophe LNs and manga highlight Guren's an attractive man

Shikama Doji/Sika Madu - Shinoa in the LNs couldn't tell if Shikama was a she/he but she considered them beautiful (don't know if that counts for you anon)

Shinya Hiragi - Rather popular among the girls back in the Catastrophe LNs.

Mahiru Hiragi - Considered as an attractive and a beauty in the LNs.

And that's all that comes to my mind for what I can recall. 🤔

Edition:

Thanks to the fandom

Krul Tepes - Back in chapter 95, Yoichi mentions she's pretty.

Ferid Bathory - In chapter 145, Rigr Stafford said he had handsome looks.

Ummm... there was one from waaaay back but I can't find it 🥹 nor I recall the name cause I didn't pin it on my browser haha... (egh I'm sorry 😭)

... umm... it might sound a bit arrogant but I wrote a fic and kind of left it there... I'm currently taking it back and writing its next chapter...

Hm, I get what you mean anon; in that regard, I can guess why considering it does feel like a "bluff for nothing", right?

First of all, let's take an insight of the lore:

Shinoa is the sole success of the experiments. She's capable of taking any demon inside her heart, but also, her purpose along her sister's creation was to control the punishment of the Seraph of the End experiment. (OnS Catastrophe at 16 Manga Ch. 51)

However, even if Shinoa was the perfect result, there's an issue. Shikama is not the same as the rest of the demons. What do I mean?

Contrast to all Black Demon Series, Shikama's possession is more akin to a Fallen Angel one.

The Black Demon Series are all made with former humans even if those humans were reincarnations of angels. This of course means the possession force they possess is not on the same wavelength as Shikama/Sika Madu.

Point number two.

True, given Shinoa has the power of full authority, it'd have made the task easy; however, there's actually a dynamic in there. What do I mean?

When a demon possesses their host, whose will is currently present?

Those kind of scenarios when an entity or another personality take control of the body of their hosts change a lot of things. I'll set an example with Boogiepop which is a story I tend to quote a lot.

Boogiepop is an entity whose rumors label them as a grim reaper or a shinigami who kills people when they're the most beautiful. However, the person or the real owner of that body is Miyashita Touka. Miyashita Touka is your average girl, a student who is dating a guy in secret one year older than her in high school. However, when danger lurks around or a threat to the world appears, Touka goes into a "sleep mode" and her other personality, Boogiepop, appears.

Boogiepop is capable of fighting, using microfilaments like wires to attack or cut things with high precision, but, contrast to the cheerful girl; Boogiepop doesn't laugh nor is capable of making a normal smile, it's always asymmetrical. They're more serious and cold yet deep down they're kind and compasionate.

But, the point is, Miyashita, when she's concious, she's unable to pull the tricks or attacks Boogiepop can do; but this goes too for Boogiepop's emotions. Boogiepop is unable to cry, lament or laugh. They can only guide and appear when a threat appears, but they're unable to remain forever in the physical world.

So, using that example, this goes the same way with Shikama. Shikama might be a powerful being, however, even if he's using his host's body, the skills Shinoa has are unique traits to her. He cannot force demons to work for him; so far he can brainwash but not control in full force.

As for the vials. That's a good point. The first time we see that kind of response in terms of being okaish is back in Ch. 97 on which Mahiru ultimately used an unknown type of drug on Shinoa.

Yet, as how powerful that drug was and what kind of damage left to Shinoa is unknown. One can only guess the drug worked to the point it made her forget the bond she had with Mahiru.

Perhaps the answer lies on the very fact they have the cells of the 1st progenitor? It's not the best answer but it could mean as to why Shinoa was able to withstand the poison. I mean, we see her take it and well

The most damage she takes is pretty much an effect on her eye but ultimately, it's because even if Shikama broke the connection with her, she still has a small connection with him given that she was born with him. Other possible answer comes is given how all Hiragi members are trained to endure torture and what not.

As for her body withstanding all that raw power, the key lies on the original purpose of why Shikama was die hard on controlling her body fully.

Besides, let's remember that ever since the remaining humans were made to handle cursed gear or experimented upon, they are not entirely human anymore so, perhaps the answer lies there too.

But ultimately, if I were to say, it's not the issue of her power but how the manga doesn't let the author exploit more traits and elements because I agree; it'd have been interesting to see some sort of repercutions or more explanation about those cases.

Who knows.

And it's fine whichever side you support anon 😅 I mean, we all have our faves and what not, it's a story we grew up with in a way.

Regarding your thoughts it's a possibility at the end of the day. We don't know 100% what Kagami will pull out in the remaining chapters.

I can only say next chapter will be the final battle for Rigr Stafford, but of course, it's not the last battle against the Squad and Yuu together.

I think, Shinoa's very aware of the tricks Yuu can pull so it'll be up to her to fill the title of Squad Leader. Her mission after all, is to protect them and lead them to victory.

However, there's one thing I discussed with my bestie over other another social platform. And you're welcome to join along whoever reads this because I think there are many interesting questions or puzzle pieces left.

Very independent of "who" wins, the question remains:

What'll happen to the active demons?"

We so far saw the closure of Guren's squad in chapter 147

That was all death flag needed.

Same concept applied to the vampires that were bound to become demons (even if one met an end with Shinoa, the other with Rigr & the remaining with Ferid) and this of course was in chapters 143, 146, 147, 150.

This too was Ferid's courtain call.

Ultimately, all of them become demons but then, what about the remaining active ones such as:

Kiseki-O & Gekkouin

Tenjiryuu

And Mikaela

True, Yuu has claimed that he'll save everyone, however, the 1st mentioned something and this is considering his spells are set on stone; they've been analyzed but not modified:

So far, that's almost done.

Soo the question remains. If Yuu were to bring back angels, progenitors and humans alike, how would you remove the curse the demons are set on; the 1st made certain that the demons would remain as that for eternity with no will; thus meaning they'll become hollow.

This year's been so salty in FGO 😩 egh I don't even expect to get Draco on her rerun...

And that new unit that looks cool...

And I fear I won't get Space Ereshikgal...

I don't even want to think about the rest of the events...
