<<Owari no seraph|Seraph of the end>> [COLORING]

A rather tricky title for a theory, but actually, it’s something that I find rather amusing, is he trying to save Mika or is he trying to save Mikaela?

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

As it’s been mentioned for a good time, the whole issue within the story is that Shikama is seeking to resurrect his son Mikaela, tasking his creation, Yuu, to help him resurrect no matter the cost and sacrifices made.

Despite the canon information about labeling Mika as the son of Shikama, there’s something rather trickish with the details given, what do I mean?

First of all, despite the lack of continuity in the Mikaela LNs, it is hinted that for so long, Rigr Stafford and Ferid Bathory seeked those carrying out the Michaela trait; and of course, with years, only Mika carried out both genes, the Seraph and the Michaela trait. But, even so, the story is slowly and gradually showing that it is highly possible that there’s a huge gap between Mikaela and Mika; is there solid proof?

There is:

Rigr points out that Shikama indeed found out a child who appeared in front of the Hyakuya Orphanage to meet the standards for the resurrection of his son, but it isn’t mentioned that his son reincarnated, but rather, a vessel for Mikaela was found.

Of course, Rigr kept delaying such scenario over and over until we reached the current events of the story, but, how does this relate to the question of the theory title?

Easy. Yuu is not focused on resurrectinng Mika from 16 years ago, but rather, he’s focusing to bring back the existance of Mikaela. But isn’t that a good thing? Isn’t it the same Mika?

For this, the answer is no. Certain reader might point out that it’s the authors story and while it’s indeed true that it is Kagami’s story at the end of the day, stories take the elemental essence of inspiration and ultimately, in order to dig into such topics, Owari is certainly not the first to touch the topics of resurrection, cloning processes, memory transfer, vessels or tools. 

In fact other anime/game title stories touch reincarnation including books that focus on doing the action such as: REGRESSION. Along this, there’s a phrase that I love so much and I’d love to quote it:

“The World allows a mind to find another matching vessel, but does not allow a vessel to gather the pieces of a mind”.

And perhaps you’ll wonder, what touches or dwelves this phrase upon, it’s simple; humans are unique, we have certain factors that determinate who we are despite sharing charms, characteristics, ideals and goals; that elemental point that makes or gives us identity even with the spawn of time, centuries and the possibility of reincarnation, cannot be replicated; the only way to save someone would be going to the past and alter it to give such being a new possibility.

But, what does this have to do with Mika’s resurrection?

Mikaela is certainly a character that misfortune focused due to all the things that have happened to him, but there’s one interesting detail and that is the very fact that he holds “key points” for elements of the story and the topic about the resurrection is no exception:

Mikaela as a character is wary of his own footsteps in contrary with Yuu, therefore, there’s also another key element to mark the difference between Mika and Mikaela, what could it be?

A demon’s mind.

Once a vampire turns into a demon, they suffer amnesia depending a lot on the circumstances they were turned into; in contrary to Mika, vampires such as Ashera, Noya, Byakkomaru, Raimeiki, Gekkouin and Kiseki-O who were turned by the First and held sanity along his memories:

Back when Mika was exploring Yuu’s inner memories, he spotted the demons that are currently sealed in their respective cursed gears; nevertheless, the demons present had their own memories, will and loyalty towards the First; which of course, such memories were temporaly blocked until the required trigger was lifted.

But, in Mika’s case, the memories he recovered were the ones he lived through his 16 years of life; there wasn’t even a trace from a distant past; and even despite him seeing Shikama Doji present, it was evident that he didn’t grreet him with a smile or with the warmness he was supposed to feel towards a parent; this is even highlighted by Shikama himself after spotting Mikaela, instead of ensuring or giving a hug; the air he gave was intimidating:

But despite all these key points; Yuu’s goal stopped being focused on just giving Mika his humanity back, but rather, he is now focused on resurrecting him along his catchy phrase of resurrecting everyone, which is impossible. (For that, there’s a topic about it).

Even if the resurrection were to happen, there are some details that need to be explored.

And lastly, to give further strength to this theory, there’s just another surprise left that will be discussed in another theory, perhaps some might know about it, perhaps it has been long forgotten.

What kind of surprise will be?

What do you think dear readers?

If this means that Lacus is getting killed I’m gonna quit living.

But he never did give himself the same choice...

Warning!! ONS chapter 113 spoilers

I wanted to share this post after the official English translation of chapter 113 but as I may be very busy when the chapter will drop and also these are many other posts I want to share therefore I decided to share this one now. Yesterday a dear anon told me how much they are tired of characters like Guren always taking all the blames but characters like Mahiru can run away from it just because and well the anon was right because according to the fan translation we saw how much AGAIN Guren started to blindfully taking whole the blame himself although Shinoa explained everything complete and very well enough and we, who read the novels, know it was never on him all fully but why is that? Why Kagami sensei is writing like this? Is it a mistake in his writing style or he is looking after something more soon? So I tell you that the answer is the second option. Sensei is after something far more than just letting Guren to break easily and stop blaming himself for literary everything. Therefore let me to explain like this first:

If we can remember in ONS volume 1 afterward, Kagami sensei described Yuu a kind character and told us that being kind is one of the most important aspect of Yuu's character or in other word, being kind is the core of Yuu's personality in this story this is actually something same for all other characters in a way that every single character has their own different core which is the base of their personality and for Guren we also can clearly see that the core of his personality is "Overly responsible person" or even kinda we can say" Stubbornness" he is a type of person who never run away from his mistakes even to the point he took all the other unnecessary blames himself too just like how Shinya mentioned it before that Guren even take blames of all the deaths in a battlefield

although that's a battlefield! Whethere you like it or not people will die in it but that's just his personality but now is it unchangable? No it is really clear that Guren is going to finally let himself to forgive himself at the end but the one who can make him to forgive himself is not Shinoa! It's not even Yuu too! Yes that's only Shinya

Because it's only Shinya who does know about the past and what Mahiru did to Guren that's why when he saw Mahiru on 82 he wasn't angry with Guren but was with Mahiru

(unlike Shinoa who doesn’t bother herself to think that bad about her sister or maybe doesn't dare to ask her about what she did to Guren and Yuu also knows nothing about Mahiru too and all he knows is that Mahiru is Shinoa's sister that's all) and that's Shinya who Guren actually seeks for his forgivenss and he won't accept anybody else trying to tell him it wasn't all his fault although that would be just Shinya because he wants Shinya's forgivenss not Yuu's or Shinoa's or Mika's in this certain case so see? That's why sensei wants Guren to be like this more because it is not the right time and the right person to change Guren now so actually all we can do for now is to wait for Shinya to wake up and will find out about the resurrection without dying (mostly because he didn't resurrected by seraph anyway and because of the reason above and how Guren only accepts Shinya's words that I think sensei didn‘t let Shinya to revive by seraph so there can be a way for him to find out without dying) then talking to Guren about everything and mentioning Mahiru too because he saw Mahiru using and manipulating Guren again

Kagami:

Shinoa my sweet sweet girl...
