As Phos' parts are broken apart into small pieces with half of it being separated, it will be hard to retrieve all of it. While the theory of the last treasure is on, I'm more worried about what personality and loss memory Phos will have? I think it will be interesting to see them forgetting the earth gems and completely regard them as an enemy when they started to realize Phos had good intention, that would be a nice conflict.
Thatâs an interesting theory.Â
If we assume that Phos is indeed becoming human, as in, theyâre being reborn, itâd make sense for them to lose memories and attachments to their past life as lustrous.
They still hold onto memories of Antarc for example, but it has been a long a time since they had a flashback or a ptsd episode involving Antarc being shattered (or since they visited antarcâs foot). Since they acquired Lapisâ head to be precise.
While this could mean that Phos is simply healing, it could also be that theyâre losing memories or connections to their past.
I donât know how likely it is at this point but, since Phosâll probably acquire the seventh treasure by the end of this arc, id still like to elaborate on my old theories that phos will become human and that the human particle is the last treasure.
Think about it. if aechmea realizes that the only reason Phos was able to pass the ârequirement authenticationâ is that theyâre becoming more human, heâll want to make Phos full human, or at least human enough to have Sensei pray (or pray themselves).
and guess whoâs been experimenting with humanity for literally thousands of years?
this could explain aechmeaâs line up here, from chapter 74. he was planning to monitor phos and sensei from the room weâve been showed in chapter 77.
after all itâs no secret that Aechmea has other plans up his sleeve and that he tried to create artificial humans through the admirabilis (and maybe the lustrous as well) at some point. the moon still hosts a facility for the âsynthesisâ of humans.
if aechmea is keeping it open, it means it still has a use or that he hasnât given up on his plan of creating humans, contrary to what he told Phos.
it might even be that heâs aware of the reason sensei canât pray, that is: he needs a human command. it wouldnât be the first time he withholds information from the gems or presents information in a different light.
this could be the reason aechmea wants to bring sensei to the moon. maybe he wants to try something they havent tried yet.Â
also, phos doesnt feel well when they see the human particle and iâve always found this an interesting detail.
why would they feel sick? is it because they are a descendant of the humans? do they feel for them? but they didnât feel anything at all when they first heard about humans. could it be that phos felt sick because they were already closer to a human than the lunarians were?Â
after all they had body parts from both lustrous and admirabilis. and now they have a pearl eye as well, a lustrous artifact: Phos embodies all three species and we know that these species were originally one, the humans, and then they split.
ofc, there are a few issues with this theory. first of all, something as simple as color: cicada calls the human particle âwhite,â while the last treasure is supposed to be red (human blood is red tho)
anyway, to answer your question: whether phos acquires the seventh treasure now or later, and whether that treasure is indeed a human particle or a red gem, Phos will hardly be themselves anymore.
still, unless theyâre literally reborn (which is likely if they become full human), I think theyâll still remember the other gems and their past self. maybe theyâll just feel a very deep estrangement from their previous life.
thats also why I canât really see them thinking of the other gems negatively: if nirvana is the objective, it makes more sense for phosâ feelings to become increasingly less polarized rather than hostile.
