#ons chapter 103

Hello everyone, after slacking for quite a time and pondering whenever to continue or not, @black-sapphire57​ (thank you for always giving me that push to continue!) Let’s talk about one thing the fandom, or rather part of the fandom that is more focused on two characters got triggered about.

P.S: Theories are held within a neutral view and ships are excluded

Shinoa as a character has been popping less in terms of how right now the screen time has been focused for quite several chapters about the past of Mika and Yuu; and of course, there are two things I’d love to discuss.

1. The oh so called love confession

Under the most popular insight, we have chapter 118 on which after a long battle between Asuramaru and Yuu; ultimately Yuu wins, of course, in the outside world, it seems more akin that he’s dying and we have that famous panel on which Shinoa cries and begs for Yuu to stop.

Image taken from Chapter 118

One of the things many people gave insight was that ShInoa was confessing her love to him, that she was pouring her emotions to see what he’d say; but, is that really the case? Is that a fact?

In fact it’s not. Why? Is it a delusion? Is it a denial?

The answer is actually more simple that what it seems like and it retorts to something more primal and common which in fact, we tent to experience a lot as human beings in general, what could it be?

Correct, the fear of losing someone we love and care about.

This is something the manga portrays so much, everyone fights to protect what they hold dear even if they have to do wrongs or even if they have to go towards a path of self destruction but, the thing all characters fear is losing someone forever.

The connotation here or rather the scene that takes place is that Shinoa finally found a place she could call home and a group of persons she could label as family, and of course, the one who taught her that was Yuu no less. But why did she tell him to leave without her?

Shinoa knows pretty well that Yuu’s destiny right now is sealed in stone; she knows that the further he dives into the abyss, the further he’ll ever reach the light of the sun. This means, she’s aware that Yuu’s life is a stake and this is well known since chapter 72:

Image taken from chapter 72

And that is something certain, Shinoa is aware that the constant abuse of power only fractures Yuu’s body; the issue with chapter 118 reflected the fear of seeing someone she cares about to fade forever.

But why do I refer this to something primal or normal among humans?

When the bonds forged with time shatter due to the unexpected death, the first thing that comes is denial, pain, sadness, grief and ultimately pleading for the person to not go. A wish for a miracle is the factor that people seek. In Shinoa’s case, despite her being in love with Yuu, her wish is to see him alive instead of dead.

But now, let’s talk about another interesting point that triggered the fandom.

2. Shinoa’s resort of killing Mikaela

Image taken from Chapter 120

Something rather doubtful to some extent considering that Mika is a demon, The only way Shinoa could actually kill Mikaela would be literally taking away Yuu’s cursed gear which, considering the huge gap of power between both, it’s close to impossible that this scenario happens. 

Therefore, why did she state that? Is it as how the fandom says that she’s angry Yuu rejected her?

No, this doesn’t even involve sentimentalism or romantic feelings, 

What do I mean? 

For that, let’s make some memories, who is Shikama trying to resurrect? Who is Yuu trying to resurrect mainly?

Of course, Mikaela.

Image taken from Chapter 113

Chronologically speaking, this takes place way before the vampires were a thing; it was a moment on which it was only Yuu, Shikama and the corpse. How can I say that? Do I have proof? I do.

One of the small details that the chapter gave insight of, is that the time the conversation took place was back when vampires weren’t even a thing; it was a time on which the journey was only about Shikama and Yuu trying to resurrect the corpse of Mikaela. It is the first path on which Shikama finds out he needs “SACRIFICES”.

Eventually population would rise and he’d have his apostles who would later see Yuu as the “sacrifice” to bring back Mikaela back to life:

Image taken from Chapter 106

Indeed, in order to bring Mikaela back to life, Yuu must be the sacrifice. 

Though, there’s one big issue and detail that many might have forgotten, what could it be?

Correct. Shikama’s plans have changed ever since chapter 103:

Image taken from chapter 103

Therefore, what’s Shinoa actually trying to say with “even if I have to kill Mikaela”?

If Mikaela’s resurrection were bound to happen; first of all:

-Humanity would be further punished, which is something confirmed by the Progenitors for sure

-Second, all this “planning out something from Yuu for the greater end or killing and we’ll revive them later sounds quite interesting that he is so confident that his idea will happen” but, there’s just a tiny huge detail that seems to elude everything and that is him of course:

Image taken from chapter 117

Despite Yuu being free of the supposed shackles from the First Progenitor and to some extent having his own authonomy, Shikama found it ironic and funny:

Image taken from chapter 117

In the ultimate case Yuu manages to resurrect Mikaela, there are two questions that linger in the air since there’s nothing certain towards Yuu’s fate.

1. Once Mikaela is brought back, who’ll be the one waking up?

2. Will you die or will he become a source of power? After all Shikama’s plan does involve keeping them together for such goal.

In the ultimate case Yuu’s life would be endangered to be used and Mikaela Hyakuya would disappear and the one being brought back was the Son of Shikama, then it would be logic for her to say that saving Yuu is a priority even if it means killing Mikaela.

Another theory awaits, hope you enjoyed this analysis and theory dear readers, feel free to share your thoughts, after all, there are topics to discuss.

The lostsoul is back.

vs something that Father told him in order to make him ready for sacrificing himself

Hello everyone, I’m sure some are hyped, others are making memes (yeah I did some for the spanish fandom ehe!) and others might be sad due to how at the end Guren’s plan is turning into a complete reality, but, is it really bad?

For that, I shall discuss with you some missing points within this theory.

Therefore, let’s begin!

P.S: Theories are held within a neutral view and ships are excluded

As something that was bound to happen, within the newest chapter of OnS, Mikaela was finally able to become Yuu’s cursed gear and demon, allowing both to devour each other’s desire to become stronger and finally be able to face down the First Progenitor:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 107

But despite this positive outcome, there’s something that several fans have pointed out which is something that the First mentioned:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 107

Therefore, let’s talk in depthness about these two standpoints of view and who might hold reason through all the story.

Shikama’s Point of View

With Shikama, we’ve seen how he slowly prepared everything to ambush the demon Mikaela by sending his three Apostles to his world in order to capture him, but of course, such event was halted by Yuu:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 102

And of course, after these series of events, Shikama decided to step in and ambush Yuu and Mikaela after they had a small fight between each other to seal the pact between demon and wielder.

But, if Guren’s goal was to have Mika within a cursed gear, why does Shikama aimed to do that as well?

First of all, Shikama wasn’t planning to make Yuichiro and Mikaela happy by any means despite how the ancient forgotten past may seem to look as a possible miracle of bringing Mikaela back, but why?

This is due to the fact that the corpse we’ve seen several times, despite being called Mikaela, isn’t Mikaela Hyakuya, what do I mean?

It’s known that the soul is the composition of consciousness, the one that harbors our memories, will, fondness of someone, etc.; but once the body perishes, the soul dies with it and leaves the body to a faraway place.

First of all, Shikama’s main goal or objective with Yuu in the past was to “SACRIFICE” his life:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 106

But, with the current chapter, a new contradiction appeared, therefore, why is it that?

What does Shikama aimed for by having Mikaela as his cursed gear in the future?

First of all, there must be something clear. Mikaela Hyakuya is his own persona. The one that embraced to turn into a demon in chapter 93; the one that appeared in that beautiful dream was his soul and the consciousness was the demon itself, the figure that lurked and saw the happiness in such place while not knowing what he was seeing or who he was seeing.

The corpse despite carrying the same name as Mikaela is not Mikaela Hyakuya.

This in general means, being autonomous, having one’s own identity.

Therefore, when Shikama asked the next thing:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 98

What was the danger in there? That’s easy to answer and that’d be the loss of identity and memory. But, is there proof to this?

There is.

Once the demon Mikaela’s heart was shattered, and eventually was rescued by Yuu, there was something that could be described as a reset in chapter 103 due to the attitute he took with Yuu after they met again:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

The demon Mikaela behaved like any other demon after meeting the one that would either become their meal or their wielder; and of course, after this the battle took place between them, BUT, there was something else at hand, at that was, resonance, which lead to the soul of the demon Mikaela remember something from his past which was the next thing:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

Leading to the same painful memory Yuu and Mika hold to their hearts, the very needle that hurts them to no end.

But, what does this mean?

It means that the demon Mikaela only holds memories of what he lived and what his current present self had, thus leading to the same question.

What would have happened if Shikama succeeded on taking Mikaela’s soul?

That’s easy.

Mikaela Hyakuya would have ceased to exist. His existence would have forgotten everything, all the memories, all the sadness, all the pain, all the joy he expeirenced in life, to leave a soul in a blank state, an empty canvas prepared to be overwritten by something else.

But, how does this relate to seeing Mika as Yuu’s future cursed gear on Shikama’s plan?

That’s simple. Shikama’s highly possible goal was that the new soul he’d rewrite and bring forward would have favored his side, thus making Yuu carry the soul of what he lost to eventually take over him and make him cease to exist, which would lead to possession, a complete possession with no absolute control by his side.

But, since this scenario never happened thanks to Yuu, thus leading to the new scenario.

Yuu’s scenario of Mikaela’s Fate

In contrast to what Shikama had aimed, Yuichiro is very aware there’s no time, and whatever the monster wanted, it wouldn’t benefit Mika and himself, it’d mean they’d cease to exist in order to fulfill the agenda of a being that has never treasured life.

But perhaps many might wonder, how is Mika becoming Yuu’s demon makes any difference?

In contrast of being sacrifices, they’ll preserve their autonomy and fight for what they want which is to live; Yuu wants to see another tomorrow not only with his friends but with Mikaela as well:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 107

Yuu not only wanted to save Mika for his own goals or desires, BUT because he wanted him to see that there’s still hope in the world, that nothing is over yet, but in order to find the key to the map they traced, they have to fight, they have to stand together to defeat the one twisting their fates constantly.

Yuu doesn’t want to lose the gold time they spent ever since they met from the first time up till now, those years they met and fought to finally be reunited were valuable:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 107

Yuu’s main objective isn’t to use Mikaela as a tool, but he has set in mind to save Mikaela from the curse of being a demon and return him to be human again.

For Yuu, Mikaela was his first friend, his first family, the first person to ever need him in his whole life without interest, 

Which this will lead to the first loss of the First Progenitor. It’ll be the first time he’ll see that Hope and Love towards life overcome any curse; it can break havoc any fate imposed even by  a fake God.

Does this mean Mikaela will forever be trapped in a weapon?

The answer to this is NO.

He’ll become human again. How? Only time will tell!

What do you think dear readers?

Let me know!

Hello everyone, this theory is quite special since it’s been heard about how the story is getting more interesting and of course, this was actually pointed by @everlastingspiral about some interesting lines one of the interesting character better known as Rigr Stafford stated, therefore, let’s begin!

P.S: Theories are held within a neutral view and ships are excluded!

In the latest chapter, there was certain line that Rigr stated. For some it could mean as breaking the 4th wall:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 107

BUT, is this really the end of the story?

There’s a big NO.

What do I mean?

Despite how odd the situation might be, and the several questions that exist within the fandom which are something an anon asked, my friend Coffee_ross from twitter asked as well, they have answers along the doubts that still exist as @everlastingspiral mentioned in one of their posts.

https://everlastingspiral.tumblr.com/post/664072427233525760/tbh-though-if-this-is-really-the-climax-then

Therefore, in order to give full detail and proof to this, let’s answer the first question:

1. Will Shikama Doji die next chapter?

The answer to this is a big NO. But why? Aren’t Mika and Yuu strong enough now to defeat him?

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 107

There’s a big issue within the whole chapter, but which might the issue be?

Despite the new found strength between Yuu and Mika, they’re still within a demon’s space or the heart of a human where generally speaking, is the place where demon and wielder talk, but, is there proof to this?

In fact there is:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 107

After Mika sent his consciousness with Yuu, all the space or the memory segment he was reviewing from Yuu’s past disappeared, but why?

This is due to the fact that since Yuu and Mika were discussing and sealing the new contract between demon and wielder, Shikama considered it was his victory, all the memories that Yuu held down of those who worked with Shikama disappeared and of course, the return or set point was Yuu’s heart again.

Is there a solid proof to this?

In fact, there’s a big one.

If many might recall, whenever a character begins the process to make a contract with a demon; they’re sent to a scene of their hearts; the demon chooses a place that had a strong impact on the person aiming to bring forward a contract which was very visible in chapter 103:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

And of course, after this, the battle took place which would eventually lead to Mikaela reaching the very bottom of Yuu’s heart in order to see what was restraining Yuu, or more exactly, what kind of curse fell upon him:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 106

After this memory segment was eventually invaded by the first which was explained in a previous theory:

OnS Theories (24S). Second Theory - Explanation of the Memory Segment and the World of Illusions.

Therefore, returning to the main point, what exactly will happen to Shikama?

It’s highly likely to see Yuu striking him which of course perhaps for many might be sweet since he has tortured pretty much every character for his own personal agenda, BUT, since he is still in such place, within Yuu’s heart, the damage will be something to what happened in previous chapters whenever a character got injured within someone’s heart:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 74

Even so, there are two scenarios that could happen:

First Scenario - He returns to Shinoa’s body

Despite how the events turned for the First Progenitor, he is aware he doesn’t have enough power thanks to the very fact that Shinoa literally used poison on herself in order to reach Shikama Doji despite him “abandoning” her, which it’s clear now that even if he left her, the contract is still on hold between them.

Therefore, it’s likely to see him getting defeated and eventually sending his consciousness to Shinoa’s body to be sealed again since the real way to truthfully defeat him would be literally killing him in the real world or outside Shinoa’s heart which is the physical world.

Second Scenario - Absolute defeat

Within this scenario despite how its chances of happening may be sightly lower in contrast to the first scenario; due to the fact that the demon Mikaela is not a common black demon, perhaps his powers might be enough to do enough harm towards Shikama to the point of oliberating him.

(I honestly have my doubts but anything could happen)

But now, within this, there’s another question, which could it be?

2. What are Yoichi and Kimizuki’s condition?

This was something related to a question a dear anon sent me this morning, and of course, within the thoughts of a reader @salamanbrrr​, Yoichi and Kimizuki also headed off to Yuu’s heart while getting control over their demons thanks to the drug Mahiru gave them (damn this girl started a business...jk):

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 107

Of course, after this, they managed to meet Shikama face to face and briefly fight against him which of course, the fight didn’t last that much due to the overwhelming difference of power giving the results of total defeat of these two:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 107

But, despite how the situation looked for them, I can state firmly they’ll be fine since they pretty much entered within Yuu’s heart while getting control of their demons hearts. Such events have been visible even with their own demons before in chapter 102 and even with Yuu in chapter 104 after Mikaela cut his head:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

Now, this might seem the end...BUT in fact, there’s a huge deal going around if Yuu and Mika manage to harm the First Progenitor, what do I mean?

CORRECT. RIGR STAFFORD

3. The end of a limited truce between Progenitors and Humans

We, as readers, have awareness that Rigr and the Progenitors are allied together with the humans in order to take down the First Progenitor, but, it’s precisely here on where there’s a huge difference of goals, what do I mean?

Guren’s side view

Guren, despite being the anti-hero, his main goal is to defeat the First Progenitor since he is very aware he has manipulated everything so the world could be turned upside down, he is aware thanks to Rigr that the First Progenitor has played the role of a fake God and has planned along with Mahiru on how to take him by making alliances with characters that have their respective agendas.

In Guren’s case, it’s pretty clear that defeating the First and resurrecting humanity are his main goals. But, how does Rigr differentiate from him?

Rigr’s side view

In contrast to Guren’s ambition or goal, there’s something that must be defined, what could it be?

Correct. Rigr never stated he wanted to kill the First Progenitor:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 107

Rigr stated it was the day they’d surpass him thanks to the help he received from Urd, since he alone wouldn’t have been able to take the First Progenitor along having Guren playing part of the plan within the whole ordeal to take the First down, but, is there a single proof on Rigr’s agenda?

In fact, there’s a big proof to this:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 79

Back when Shikama was possessing Shinoa, Rigr started to set his plans into motions, of course such plans included on capturing Yuu and sending him to Ikebukuro, BUT, within this, he also had planned to capture the First Progenitor, which was eventually visible due to the next picture:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 81

Rigr’s objective wasn’t killing the First, very asides from the daddy issues at hand; his main goal was to restrain and capture him, leading to an unanswered question which is “Why”.

Rigr is still a mystery in terms of his objectives; he decided to create the Hyakuya sect in order to have power to face him; he aimed to weaken the Hiragi family which was Shikama’s strength for his personal use; he even made sure the JIDA wasn’t left with power so he could restrain Kureto and Shinya’s demon to eventually face the First with everything set into motion, but now that the First is on the very point of losing, another point to this list adds up:

4. Shinoa’s fate

It’s known that Shinoa was pretty much Shikama’s vessel for quite a long time ever since he decided she’d be the perfect vessel he needed to possess; but, what he never expected was that she would eventually fight for her own life, her own desires, and decisions along her fate; but, after some events, Shikama decided to leave her since she was getting on his way, which of course, it only worked briefly since she managed to weaken him again by using poison, to which surprise of many, managed to weaken Shikama:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 107

But, within this, there is something that must be considered. What could it be?

Shinoa’s current state is literally one of a human without a cursed gear protecting her body, since Mahiru warned her that she was using poison in order to destroy the cells of the First, and of course, the evident reaction of this poison was displayed on her eye:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 107

To add more to this, there are two scenarios happening here:

First Scenario - Shinoa’s close death

Within this scenario, there are two other scenarios to be considered, and that of course, is very related to the First Progenitor, what do I mean?

It’s very clear that chapter 108 will lead a battle between Yuu and the First, and the outcome of it might be favorable towards humanity, BUT, there are few problems:

1. How badly will be the damages suffered if Shikama returns to Shinoa’s heart after receiving the damage of a not common black cursed gear such as Mikaela?

It’s known that the demon Mikaela isn’t the average demon in contrast to Asuramaru, which is due to the fact that the demon Mikaela holds even more power stored within him due to how he became a demon in contrast to the Apostles chosen by Shikama.

Which only leads to wonder these questions related to the damage inflicted by Mikaela:

-Will the damage received towards the First will also directly affect the wielder?

-In case Shikama simply returns badly injured to Shinoa, will she be able to withstand the posion within her body since the First won’t be fitted to heal her body in contrast to how other cursed gears work?

2. WIll Shinoa still be safe after a possible victory for everyone that opposed the First?

This second scenario makes a possibility as well due to the fact that, once the fall of the First takes place, will the progenitors keep its truce with the humans or will new goals within them appear?

In case Rigr Stafford follows his original agenda of capturing the First for his own personal reason, it’d mean that he might target Shinoa since he is very aware where exactly the First Progenitor resides, or rather, he is very aware which is his current vessel.

But, in case this scenario happened, would that be possible?

There are several factors to be considered.

1. Yuu won’t be in shape to fight since he’s not sustaining one cursed gear but two; and this is very visible in past chapters.

Back when he fought Ky Luc after unleashing his seraph powers, he was left in a pretty bad shape leaving him unconscious due to the massive power he spent. And the very fact the demon Mikaela requires desires to fight with Yuu, it’s possible that Yuu’s strength might be deplenished specially considering that he wouldn’t face one progenitor but three.

2. Guren might be not be capable to fight.

Within this, it’s needed to remember that Noya is literally K.O after Mahiru stabbed him with a drug; along the fact that Mahiru is literally materialized in the real world drugging herself with poison in order to halt the First Progenitor; thus leaving him quite powerless.

3. Yoichi, Kimizuki and Mitsuba by themselves won’t be able to face down 4 vampire progenitors of high rank.

The very fact that even if two wield black demon series, doesn’t mean they’ll be able to fight against 2 second progenitors, one 3rd progenitor and one 5th progenitor.

Krul alone isn’t a match either to Urd or Rigr due to the massive difference of age and speed both hold.

5. Mitsuba’s character development

One thing missing as well is Mitsuba’s character as a whole; we have no information of her demon nor her role in the story to whcih, the current point, has been pretty much so small.

6. Shikama’s past

Despite seeing Shikama in despair, we still have no information of his past, how he appeared on Earth, how he managed to be the way he is, and how he was able to manipulate everything around him.

Therefore, this only highlights that ONS is far from over; there are several factors to cover within the story, and it’s very likely that the current arc we have read so far, will come to an end only to bring forward a new one specially since it was hinted by certain character that they would eventually need to fight millenia monsters.

What do you think dear readers?

Let me know!

Hello everyone, I hope you’re doing alright, I had technical issues here with the post but well, this theory is very centered in a possibility, a very close one to what exactly or why exactly Guren and Shikama aim to have Yuu and Mika together for their respective plans.

I must say the theory tiself is, powerful, therefore, I hope you get to enjoy it!

P.S: Theories are held within a neutral view and ships are excluded

As of late, one of the main topics that have been touched within the latest chapters have been about the Black Suns along how they relate to Mikaela and Yuichiro, specially after these black suns were something visible for the demon Mikaela:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

But, within this, there are two characters that have been focused on getting Mikaela and Yuu together for their respective agendas. Said characters are:

Shikama Doji:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

Who heavily stated that he’s going to “save” Yu and Mikaela, which of course, such statement can be taken lightly since his goals and ambitions aren’t something that will benefit those two.

And, the other charcater who needs them is Guren Ichinose:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 86

In chapter 86, Noya highlighted that Mika, Yu and Asuramaru were the elemental keys to Guren’s dream, which of course, is to Resurrect all humanity that perished with the Catastrophe, but now, the main question is, how exactly do these characters plan to bring forward their respective plans?

Correct, by only one way and that is a Ritual.

You might wonder how exactly a ritual would connect to this, and ironically, there’s been a proof to this or rather a hint in the latest chapter of the story:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 105

In chapter 105, it was visible that Shikama carried the corpse of Yuichiro from the Dark Ages of Greece in order to perform a ritual with the Black Suns he created with time, but, within this, is there a proof to claim that Shikama carried a corpse?

In fact there is, such proof relies with Noya:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 85

In chapter 85, when Guren headed off to Yuu’s position, he eventually released Noya and manifested him in the physical world, to which in less than few seconds, Noya went to see the first grown-up Yuu, which implies a lot that all the clones of Yuu he has seen died at a very young age.

But returning to the ritual process, how can I exactly state there’s such thing?

For this, it’s needed to remember something important, what could it be?

Correct. The Black Suns the demon Mikaela was able to see:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

In said chapter, when the battle between Yuu and Mika was about to begin, the demon Mikaela managed to see the Black Suns in the sky, but, within this, there’s something rather intriguing, what could it be?

Correct, the black suns started to gather or produce something like lightning:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

And within this, said lightning started to gather around one character, which of course, said character was Yuu no less:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

And the main question is, why did the black suns started to resonate with Yuu?

Blood is the currency of the soul. (Quote from Hellsing)

One of the things the demon Mikaela wondered after seeing the black suns was whenever they appeared within his heart or not, and of course, in chapter 104, he was able to see the Black Suns again admist knowing that Yuu wasn’t capable of seeing them, which could lead to the question whenever they existed or not in the real world, but, in the case they didn’t exist, it’d fall into the illusion of existance. Thus leading to the next thing which is: Why was the demon Mikaela capable of seeing the black suns?

It is known that Yuichiro, the one that has autonomy, consciousness and a soul despite being created with such black suns, had more humanity in contrast to the clones Shikama made long ago; and of course, this is heavily thanks to the experiments Rigr made with him when he was a child, and you might wonder what does this have to do with the quote.

For this, let’s analyze some factors.

First of all, one of the heaviest hints about how Blood is the currency of the soul is the very fact that the place where the space of the demon Mikaela, after being sealed within the weapon he wielded as a vampire, was the very place on which his reunion with Yuu took place along the very fact that he became a complete vampire:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

To give strength to the theory, it is needed to consider that, when Mikaela drank human blood for the very first time, he wasn’t drinking from an average human, but rather, he was drinking Yuu’s blood, but, what is so special about Yu’’s blood?

Despite knowing the current Yuu was created to be more human which gives sense as to how he has more consciousness and willpower with his actions, he still carries the blood of a seraph, just like the former clones that were made by Shikama carried; and of course, if many might recall, said blood was the one capable to turn into vampires those who are currently the Apostles of the First Progenitor.

Within this, it is needed to be considered that Yuichiro gave up his humanity in chapter 42; he literally threw it away with the sole purpose to become something that is neither seraph nor demon, which would make sense as to why now the demon Mikaela was capable to see the black suns, what do I mean?

Mikaela stopped drinking blood from a human but rather from someone who was neither human, namanari, demon or seraph; leading him to absorb parts of Yuu that are tied to what builds his soul.

But now that this first part is solved, the next question comes and that is:

How exactly will the ritual take place or be made in consideration of what Guren and Shikama have in their agendas?

For this, let’s set 4 scenarios in relation of method and goal.

First Scenario - A rod made of Black Suns. Shikama’s side

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

As I mentioned above, the Black Suns had a reaction once Yuu aimed to attack Mikaela; the black suns started to gather around him as if it was something determinated, as if Yuu was needed to be the trigger for such action.

Which only leads to the possibility that, in case Shikama manages to reach these two first after Yuu and Mika conclude their battle; it’s possible that Shikama may activate the black suns against Yuu and Mika acting as a rod to capture them and restrain their movements.

Within this, it must be taken in consideration that Shikama has authority over demons along the fact that Asuramaru works for him, leading to the possible events that he might be able to control the demon Mikaela and force him to take control over Yuu with the sole goal of finally controlling something that escalates the word taboo, something unthinkable to any, something that will bring forward his goals and ambitions.

Second Scenario - Resonance of the Black Suns. Guren’s side

In contrast of the first scenario, within this second scenario, in case Yuichiro manages to win against Mika before the First Progenitor makes his apperance, it’s very likely that in future events, in order for them to work as one, as two souls merged, there must be something present which is the resonance of souls. What does this mean?

With the resonance, it is meant that the Black Suns may gather around them without harming each element that will be participating in the ritual; in this case, it means that Yuu, Mika and Asuramaru will retain their willpower and consciousness without losing it with manipulations.

But, despite these two small scenarios, there are other two that mustn’t be forgotten, what do I mean?

Correct. The goals of the First Progenitor and Guren.

First Scenario - Absolute Darkness. Rebellion against God.

Within this scenario, it is needless to say that, in former theories, I’ve stated that Shikama is quite the literal representation or incarnation of the fallen angel Lucifer, the one who rebelled against god...

Link of theory: OnS Theories (17S). Third Theory - Shikama’s punishment, and the reason behind the corpse (Long Theory)

Back in chapter 94, he stated he was punished with his current physical appearance along the loss of his child, which he would retaliate by making his own dark sun.

Within this, it does give an insight that Shikama isn’t playing or showing a tantrum like the Progenitors have displayed against their sire, but rather, he holds a deep grudge against God, a grudge that has made him do the impossible in order to carry an image of being someone  like God within the story.

Hence why, in the case Mikaela and Yuu were to fall on his hands, the very first thing he’d do against them would be taking away their consciousness and wilpower in order to finally create his world of absolute darkness, one were life would cease to be, one were only him would be the one standing alone and negating all that God has ever created.

Second Scenario - Resurrection

While it’s known that Guren’s actions cannot be justified; it’s known as well that within stories, a character must take the harsh path, a path on which morality is thrown away in order to give an opportunity to humanity.

In Guren’s case, he too aims to have Mika with Yuu in order to counter the control the First Progenitor has, but why?

Guren has awareness of some things the First Progenitor has made thanks to the information Rigr revealed to him back in the World Resurrection LNs, along the experiments and research the Hyakuya Sect has made; and, within this, it’s important to take notice that Guren’s strategy is to use the plans the Hyakuya sect was aiming for, which were to carry on with Sun God Aten and the Sword of Michael with them:

The main goal of Rigr and the Sect, was to bring an image or something close to the Archangel Michael to finally face the First Progenitor; but, within Guren and Mahiru’s criteria, Asuramaru and Yuu weren’t enough; and for this plan, Mikaela was required as well.

Within this, Guren does also plan to counter everything the First prepared with time,which is, using his creations against him; which is something visible with how Rigr took the first step by making Yuichiro and Mikaela autonomous beings harboring consciousness, emotions, willpower, along the possibilities of making decisions.

But now, how would the resurrection take place?

As crude as it may sound, the very reason why Yuu isn’t capable to die within the current time of the story, is due to the amount of black suns that exist within him, what does this mean?

While it’s true his seraph powers are capable of restoring his body and heal him, it is also thanks to the Black Suns which are like countles warped souls trapped within him, that he is capable of living and surviving despite how his mind slowly deteriorates.

It is to say that he’s the key for the resurrection along with Mika, which it’s something that has been stated by Guren himself:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 59

Guren stated that Yuu was the vital piece to the resurrection due to the fact that, in order to contrast the Catastrophe or reverse it, he’s possibly aiming to do the opposite of what he did which is using different tributes, but, does this mean Yuu will disappear with Mika?

The answer to this it’s highly no. But why?

This is due to the fact that, once the First Progenitor is gone, he might trigger the Resurrection, and it’s possible that within this, he might erase what cursed Yuu with something called as a “Samsara”, which is the constant cycle of life and death along the possibility of turning Mika into a human again.

It can be concluded that,  despite the sides that portray Guren and Shikama as beings with hidden agendas in relation of having Yuu and Mika as their keys for their respective plans, each of them will handle their rituals that will either benefit or oliberate life itself within the story.

Thank you very much dear readers!

I was talking to one of my friends on Instagram about Catastrophe at 16 ending parallel with main manga and suddenly we reached to this picture:

This scene is the same one as the last scenes of Catastrophe at 16 novel 7 which Mahiru fall on Guren's hug there too because of stabbing herself with Guren's sword in a suicidal manner and here we also saw how she did that suicidal action again

and then falling down on Guren's hug again so we actually got half of the parallels till now but what may comes after it?!

At the end of Catastrophe when Mahiru was dying we saw how she FORCED Guren to use Owari No Seraph to rescue his friends by reliving the information about the seraph so we reached to this conclusion:

What if Mahiru wants to do same to Guren here AGAIN?

What if she wants to MAKE Guren to do something he DOESN'T WANT TO DO but as he has NO OTHER CHOICE he will be FORCE to do?

We know Yuu and Mika are in complete danger so what if Mahiru KNOWS a way and wants GUREN to do that?!

I decided to share this before the spoilers drop today so to know your ideas too.

After chapter 103 officially released in English we finally saw how Shikama doji left Shinoa's body and soul both and so she completely lost her demon power

and now in a very easy way to explain she is an ordinary girl, an ordinary HUMAN with no power of healing if she'll recieve any kind of physical injuries but is she the only person who had left too vulnerable now?!

The answer is, no she is not the only one.

The other one who also left fully vulnerable is no other than Guren Ichinose.

As we saw on chapter 92, Mahiru injected a syring into Noya's body

that as she, herself mentioned it again on chapter 98 later that syring makes a demon turns weak, way too weak by the amount of how much dose that demon recieves.

So that's why demon Mika wasn't on his full power because they injected the vampire Mika on chapter 89 that syring but not the complete dose of that (so that's why demon Mika wasn't out of complete strength)

but Mahiru injected the FULL dose into Noya's body so he completely left unconscious and with no power to support his host, Guren.

And then again what did we saw in current chapter?!

Yep Mahiru injected that syring to herself for the second time so as Guren's second and last demon she also originally lost her strength fully and again can't support Guren as her host anymore

so yes Guren fully lost both his demons and left completely vulnerable and so both Guren and Shinoa are the two most at risk of being harmed physically and so therefore without any demons if they'll recieve any kind of serious physical damages then...

And so ofc as we saw Shikama doji finally left to go and reach to Yuu and Mika so ofc someone or even more needs to go to help them both as no matter how much demon Mika and Yuu are strong still Mika is a newborn demon and Yuu doesn't have enough control over him too and they have literary zero chance against the super powerful first progenitor alone so that's obvious somebody needs to help them.

So who do you think that guy will be??

Shinoa or Guren?!

As we can clearly see that how Kagami sensei gives us parallels between Catastrophe story and the main manga story and insists on running both stories together and the fact he will absolutely wants to show us a grear parallel between both stories as soon as Catastrophe manga will most probably ends in 5 more chapters then does he really want another Major Character's death soon again?!

What do you think about this guys?!
