#nisroca

Orokapi points out that Nisroca looks like a combination of the IPOs' physical traits. As revealed in Chapter 94, the IPOs absorbed cycle 1 Waka's body parts.

In Chapter 91, Nisroca says that once you rely on a demon you're practically one yourself. Current cycle Waka muses how the current state of her existence feels akin to becoming a demon in the as-of-yet untranslated Chapter 96.

Nisroca's method to fulfill Waka's wish selfishly prioritizes Shion and Tokinaga as her objects of desires (Tokinaga's suffering = arousal mixup + "Maybe I wanted to see a possible world that could exist for those two, or maybe I just wanted to do more traveling with you").

So this creature living inside of Tokinaga feeds off of the Ipos (considered Gods by humanity) and now that Obikawa has turned into ‚fuel‘ he’s basically become the perfect meal for Nisroca— who references the demon Nisroch, also known as the god of farming which would explain the ties between harvest, crops and fuel. I wonder if this depicts Nisroch before the fall. It’s said that he served as a guardian to the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden which only makes this all the more interesting.

The first panel of the chapter depicts Tokinaga, who is surrounded by angel wings (seraphim!) which points to Tokinaga being something holy or celestial. The burn marks on his skin could be a direct linking to ‚saraph‘ meaning burning? Halo, beams of light, sanctity… but Tokinaga is an ‚impure‘ angel, if anything. Neither good/bad.

What I crave most is a level of power no other can match.

It is why I read so much manga, because it contains many of these characters, and they are always the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Everytime I read I wish I could have their power, become something greater, something unmatched.

I wish I could have that power so that I may help the world and help the people, because so much of humanity is to stupid to help itself.
