الحمدلله رب العالمين

praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the [all] worlds

Random PNGs, part 156.

The revelation that the concept of “god,” or at least, the word itself does not exist on the Ground is so interesting to me. A word that is ties to any religion no matter if they only worship one or many. Why was it erased on the Ground—or better yet, who erased it? Maybe an ancestor of Rudo? A Surebrec was one of the earliest known Giver with the Watchman Series. Though this also begs the question of whether all the Sphereites know of God, or if it’s only Rudo because of Regto.

Also, are these so-called Ancient Rulers the first ever Givers? If so, how did anima truly came to be? Then accumulating pollution from the trash rain? The despair people were feeling on the Ground? Or was it the unbreakable bond activated between a Giver and a jinki? How did it stay on the Ground? Why couldn’t the Sphere access it—because they’re not surrounded by an abundance of trash and pollution? Were the ancestors of Sphereites aware of this power, thus, created a systematic trash collection to avoid the possibility of creating Givers? Is it related tomthis god being, if so, how? Did they view it as blasphemy? Though, there really isn’t any indication (aside from 156) that a religion exist on the Sphere. The closest to a religion they honestly have is their collective interest and reverence about the Pit.

I’ve read a theory that Regto and Tamsy were planning on making Rudo into a god but Regto decided not to follow through as he saw the boy as his own, leading to his eventual demise. That would be sick if that’s the case—I had a similar theory before 156 dropped. That Rudo is kind of like Chuuya from Bungou Stray Dogs or Naruto with a god (or something nonhuman) occupying him. That could explain why the thing Semiu saw was nonhuman in nature. Plus, the hollowness he had felt before Regto stepped in. What this god-like creature is destined, I’m still not yet certain. Maybe the next Watchman to guard the Border? Or be the catalyst of the Sphere’s collapse?

Whatever the case may be, I’m hype for the next chapters! Especially now that Mymo accidentally destroyed his jinki while it was activated. I have always wondered what happens to a broken jinki, so I guess this answers it lol. Also, I can’t wait to see how Rudo will combine his and Gountess’ Watchman jinkis to be on a similar level to Mymo. Would he also change physically? Perhaps we will get a sneak peek of that darkness inside him. Also, I am wondering what role Too Lily have in this battle as she was shown still in the vicinity (plus seeing how her character design is a clear contrast to Angel Mymo)

Let me know your thoughts about the newest chapter and theories too!
