What'll happen when Mika gets resurrected? A tricky question since his purpose has been to serve as a vessel for the soul of the First's son.

Further explanation can be found here 😊

Thanks to the new chapter and what Shikama doji said we now all know that when Mika touched Yuu's eye deep down of his heart he traveled to the past and what he saw wasn't just a simple memory with no effect on the past but was a time traveling so now I want to point this guys👇

As we can remember Noya mentioned on chapter 85 that if Shikama could make his human creating machine to work and ofc this was that machine we saw on 106👇

But something that I want to say is that in this new chapter when Mika traveled in the past he did destroyed this machine there

That was why Noya said that Shikama could make that machine to work again

Before I start, let me tell ya why I'm posting this so late. Over christmas break, I almost completely lost interest in Owari. I'm not exactly sure why, but it happened. Well, I do know why, but that would be to long for this post. School keeps kicking my ass too, it ain't even funny anymore. Everyone of my classmates is either studying 24/7 to get good grades or they're drinking / vaping / smoking / doing drugs like theres no tomorrow, and both parties are rapidly losing their personalities. And I'm completely caught in the middle of this. Great school system. Well done. NOT.

Anyway, I'm back now with a ton of motivation for this blog. Buckle your seatbelts.

chapter 85:

Even though I'm not fully understanding what is going with Krul, Ashera and Noya in that flashback, Smol Krul™ is adorable and has to be protected at all costs.

Common sense is once again not a thing within the Demon Army. Why, and I can't stress this enough, ARENT YOU USING A HELICOPER OR CAR TO TRANSPORT "GUINEA PIG" YUU. Plot armor calls again.

I'm guessing, that once this life absorption barrier isn't active anymore, Guren will become (something like a) human again??? What???

At least, Shinya and the rest of Gurens Squad are kinda okay, maybe they'll rest and get backup- CAN YOU NOT? RUN AFTER GUREN AGAIN PLEASE? Shinya really has a death wish, doesnt he?

I honestly wonder what Krul is going to do, once she arrives wherever she's going.

chapter 86:

Mitsuba coming literally out of nowhere and hugging Shinoa. This is the content I signed up for. No, but in all seriousness, this is a super cute moment for them, regardless if you ship them or not.

Shinoa Squad reunion, yaay! (almost)

I have to admit, even I laughed when Yuu, after everything that went down in the last chapters, still called Guren his friend. Mika's expression was spot on too.

This whole scene with them bickering was just great. Had a good laugh. 8/10

"With all of them together, you might finally get that wish you've desperately clung to for so long" ???????? okay, we get it that everyone talks in riddles nowadays. not a fan. pls stop

"I have a reason to live. I have you, Mika." Okay, I could write an essay on, about how toxic and overall wrong this statement is, but I get what they're trying to say, so I'm skipping that. Kinda getting the same vibes as from Guren and Shinya couple chapters ago.

And because the best always comes last: wHeRe iS tHe eMoTiOnaL sUppOrt LiEuTeNanT geNeRaL

Hello everyone, it’s been a long while since I updated, a lot of things happened in May but nevertheless, here I am again.

Chapter 103 Spoilers are out, you can check the link if you’re curious about them, the official translation will be available tomorrow in MangaPLUS or Viz Media.

This theory popped early but the burst of ideas popped after talking with some friends on discord about the chapter and the translations. Mika, one of my friends, being the one that translates the manga with passion, gave me an insight of what the characters stated in there; and of course, after some thinking, this lead me think to something huge, therefore, let’s begin!

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

As a side note, this time, this theory will have some elements taken from the Bible, therefore, I apologize if there are issues here and there

As I stated, thanks to the translations made by several readers that love OnS, specially Mika; there was something curious about Shikama Doji within the latest chapter and is the fact he stated he aimed to save Mikaela and Yuichiro when we’ve seen his attitudes and objectives are rather of doubtful procedence.

Along with this, there has been something intriguing which is the fact that he has constantly called Mika his “son”. 

At first glance, it seems like he might be a passionate figure that aims to recover what he lost long ago but in fact, there’s something deeper to it, what do I mean?

For that, let’s take an insight of some aspects of the bible and religion itself.

It is often said in texts that back when Chirst was about to get crucified, the devil appeared within the path Christ had to go through to reach the final destination of his life; but, what does this have to do with the story?

In such aspects of the bible, it is stated that the devil carried out a baby and proclaimed it to be his son, one that he could love in order to mock Christ on how he would suffer for humanity in order to remove their sins.

Therefore, the main question is, how is Shikama relatable to such fragment?

By now, it is known that Shikama is literally a representation of the devil, which once was known as Lucifer, the most beautiful creation of God.

And of course, this is heavily represented in the LNs of the Catastrophe, specifically in the 7th Volume of the story, after Guren gave Shinoa her cursed gear so she could survive the apocalypse by Mahiru’s orders.

In said chapter of the last volume, Shinoa stated that Shikama was beautiful and she had troubles to determinate whenever Shikama was a she or a he but despite that, she was taken in awe by their beauty:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Guren Ichinose Catastrophe at 16 - Chapter 43 

Along this there has been subtle evidence that of what Lucifer, the name itself means, which is Morning Star, Light Bringer, etc.

But nevertheless, we’ve seen that Shikama only once stated that he was punished for a “taboo” he broke long ago and took the form we saw back in the old days of Greece.

And so far, within the story, the only taboo we as readers know so far is to bring back those who have perished, such as is the example of how Guren brought back his friends leading to the eventual end of the world by a virus; of course, despite this action, it was something that was bound to happen whenever he was the trigger for it or not.

Therefore, what does the theory itself imply? Why is it titled as inverse trinity?

It is known that religion takes two special numbers as holy, one of them being the number 7 since that was exactly the amount of time God took in order to create his most perfect work which was life, the planet and eventually the first humans. 

Ironically to this, there is an exact representation to that, what could it be?

Correct. The seven seraphs of the end.

Despite only having awareness of 3 active seraphs, there are 7 in total that have relied in Sinful Keys in order to awake them.

But despite such number being special, there’s actually another one that does take a special meaning, which number might it be?

Correct. Number 3. The Holy Trinity.

The Holy Trinity represents God = Father, Son and the Holy Spirit which at the very end represent God (In Christianity of course). 

But again, how can this be related with Shikama’s actions, objectives or taboo?

Shikama once stated that God has a far more twisted personality than him which strongly implies that he once knew God at a certain point of his existance:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 57

Therefore, there’s a high possibility that his biggest taboo wasn’t that he aimed to bring back someone that passed away, but rather, by taking an insight of the elements of Lucifer’s fall and how he is literally a Fake God on Earth that has managed to twist the strings of fate and made different empires fall and raise along religions, it can be said that after his exile of heaven, he did exactly what God had.

He aimed to have his own Earth, one that had no sunlight that could torture him since he clearly stated back in chapter 94 that he disliked the Sun:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 94

Furthermore, to add strength to this,to his possible taboo, he had a “son”, one that was eventually killed supposely after being blamed of certain unknown crimes that so far haven’t been revealed yet:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 94

But then, how can Shikama exactly create an inverse trinity if he only brought a son to his life?

To explain this, it is needed to take Shikama as a reflection of the Devil or what Lucifer ended up being after being expelled from heaven,it is to say he has played the role of God on Earth for his own goals without caring of who he’ll hurt if it means to succeed on what he has always aimed; the second point to this inverse trinity is the fact that he has created a demon child and has labeled it as his own son, which of course in religion would be the clear example of the envy the Devil had towards God.

But where exactly lies what could reflect the third point of the inverse trinity when the Holy Trinity has the Holy Spirit?

This one falls with Yuichiro Hyakuya

But then, the question would fall on how exactly Yu could fit into such role when he’s something that can’t be labeled as human nor demon or seraph despite being able to transform into one.

For this, it is needed to remember on how Yuu was created long ago back in the dark ages of Greece:

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

Correct. Yuu wasn’t a human being to begin with but was given a personality and attitude to behave like one; of course, at such time Sika Madu was performing experiments from a different nature with kids; he was seeking whenever the blood the artifitial Yuu had could turn humans into vampires, and of course, Ashera was the prime result for this. Such orbs had an element that allowed to heal Yuu since, at that time, Shikama cut his head off after he attacked Ashera leading to his death as a human:

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

It could be said that Yuu was pretty much like a lifeless doll used for the purpose to achieve certain goal Shikama never revealed at such time; furthermore, to give strength to this, it is very well known that back in those ages, Yuu was killed again by Noya after the vampires Shikama created grew in few numbers:

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

Noya stated that dozens of Yus would be created even if he killed one, leading to understand that Yu in fact has been an artifitial life cloned endlessly, but within this, there’s something that must be taken in consideration with the latest chapter which is 103.

Thanks to the fan translations proved by Mika, the demon Mikaela in one panel stated that there were fake souls within the human’s heart which is of course related to Yu’s heart since Yu aimed to make Mika remember what they went through to bring him back home with him.

But then, what’s the main key to the third aspect of the trinity Shikama is seeking?

There’s a huge key element that plays very well despite how the demon Mikaela stated that Yu’s heart had fake souls, but what could it be?

Correct. Yu managed to have a solid soul after unknown years of a constant cycle of life and death, a constant samsara and this is heavily pointed out by Shikama Doji back in chapter 74:

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

Shikama Doji expected Yu to be another of his pieces in order to clean the path he was focused to reach; but to his surprise, Yu had autonomy, what do I mean?

Instead of being the servant Shikama had long ago, Yuichiro had a soul of his own, a mind of his own, a purpose of his own, a reason to exist and live despite the conditions he had to face. He had the means to what it can be called someone “human”.

But then, how can Yu be the last piece to the inverse trinity Shikama seeks?

Returning again to the fan translations, Shikama stated that he is going to protect Yuichiro and Mikaela, of course, such statement and the fact that the main cast is rushing against time implies that he is aiming to use them for whatever he plans to do with them since he finally is getting what he has seeked for long, therefore, in order to kill two birds with one stone, he is waiting for the moment Yu and Mika are together in order to bring or reflect this inverse trinity.

It could be said that Yu would work as the reverse of the Holy Spirit, since he pretty much has been tainted by many taboos, one of them is mixing his Serah form with a curse of a cursed gear that holds a demon, given how his wings are very different to those of the seraphs that have been displayed in the manga story.

It could be concluded at the end, that Shikama has all the key elements to express the total and absolute rebellion towards everything God has created, something that has been inverted in order to stamp of the holiness that such elements carry within meaning.

The fact he managed to end almost all the life within Earth, the fact that demons have descended upon Earth with the methods he carried out to bring vampires and from them demons, is only a reflection of a possible huge ambition and raison d’etre.

What do you think dear readers?

Let me know!

Hello everyone! I’m finally back and of course I’m happy for that, I hope these theories are to your liking.

A song beffiting the events:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kpxJ6_iVts

But now focusing on the latest chapter, there are so many intriguing details about it, therefore, let’s begin!

First of all, with the current events, we’ve learnt that Mikaela is called “child” by the First Progenitor, but, there’s an issue to it, what may it be when the First mentioned he had a “son”?

The demon Mikaela is a young boy without memories, a boy who has no clue what’s going around but his sole goal is to feed on desires nonstop; his powers are way too much compared to the current black demons, but now, what may be the issue?

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

Correct. The first isn’t seeing him as his real child but rather as the key to bring the real Michaela back to Earth. But how can I state such thing when he’s calling him his precious child?

That’s easy. If many have seen Mika’s demon powers, he’s able to attack other demons from afar, which is something on how Jisengo worked like but without the need to open up portals but rather tracking the source of the enemy; within this, he’s also the only demon being capable of seeing his “bubble dream” compared to the other demons.

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

But before we proceed to talk about the vessel, let’s give an insight of Shikama.

Shikama is perfectly known to be a Fake God that is able ot manipulate history as his own pace and ambition; he was able to create humans with his own methods and within this, he also had a rather interesting attitude when something called Shikama’s attention and this is very reflected with Ashera:

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

Shikama saw slow hints of progress with his research, and for this, he only needed the correct words and deals so people would end up doing his biding, including on bringing few subjects which are the demons to his main goal; what may his real goal be? 

For now, it’s the speculation that he’s aiming to bring back his real son but, within this I’d like to give a note of something that is within a layer of doubt.

NOTE: Shikama might actually be trying to not exactly bring back his child but rather, get his real body back which was the corpse sleeping in the coffin since the story is about revenge itself.

But with this, what does this have to do with Michaela’s vessel and our current demon Mikaela?

Correct, Shinoa Hiragi is the mentioned vessel, but how can I state such thing?

If many might recall, Shikama aimed to possess Shinoa long ago until he succeeded. Within this possession, he wasn’t focused on devouring her heart like other demons usually do which feed on desires but rather, he was preparing her body to be able to hold down the real power of his son, which can be seen in previous chapters:

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

He stated in that chapter that he could resist the power of the Sinful Keys but he chose to not do so in order to not break the vessel he has, but, what does this mean?

Correct. Shikama isn’t trying to use Shinoa Hiragi as his vessel but rather for someone else. And that person is his real son, Michaela

But then again, how can I state such thing?

Shikama made Shinoa with the experiment Tenri conducted so he could fin a suitable vessel capable of holding down many demons but within this, he also made sure the vessel he had, could be able to withstand the abyssmal power he has along the one his biggest secret has.

And so far, after Guren trapped Shikama within Shinoa’s body, Shinoa’s body only suffered soreness but overall, her body in general gained inhuman strength and power; she didn’t lose her memories nor suffered any other side effects asides from seeing Shikama being able to pop his consciousness within Shinoa’s body.

Along this, there’s also an issue to be noted; in the Catastrophe LNs, Shikama mentioned that if it weren’t for Shinoa, demons wouldn’t be able to exist; at first it might seem like an innofensive phrase but it carries a heavy meaning behind; furthermore, Shikama always tried to offer his memories firsthand to Shinoa intead of other things, and seeing how Shinoa withstood such offers, he proceeded with other methods until he finally decided to attack Yu and Ashera in order to make her come and rescue them.

But now,  what does the demon Mika might actually offer or give to Shikama?

That’s easy. His powers. Shikama sees an abyssmal power of the current King of the demons, but he’s not interested in the physical appearance of Mikaela but rather, he’s interested on his soul

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

Shikama Doji could have tell Ashera to capture Mikaela but instead, he asked for Mikaela’s soul, which is the base of everything, the base of what defines a person.

Therefore, with Shinoa and Mikaela’s soul, his end goal is to set Mika’s soul alone within the vessel he currently uses to finally bring Michaela back to life.

What do you think dear readers?

Let me know!

Hello everyone, I hope you’re doing well, remember to stay safe and healthy! I hope you have a good day!

This theory will be quite short but, nevertheless, there’s some interesting issues within this.

P.S: Theories exclude ships and remain within a neutral point of view

As many might have guessed, there seems to be quite the hightlight when it comes to the awakening of the Progenitor of all vampires, but why whenever they talk about him it seems like Krul is the most worried among them?

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 99

While it might seem that the First Progenitor is aiming to bring a loved one back, it can be said that it’s highly the opposite, but why?

If many might recall, back in chapter 85 when Krul, Ashera and Noya managed to enter the chambers on which the corpse was residing, they wondered what they’d do; furthermore, in chapter 94, when Ashera went to confess about Yu’s death, the First was aware of everything, the First was aware of who and when they went into the forbidden place they ended up tresspassing. But then, why is it that only Krul fears him and hates him? Is it only because he took her brother?

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 68

The answer to the question is no. But why?

First of all, chapter 68 left us with a big cliffhanger focused on precious information but, the way it abruptly ended, the way it gave a silence before finishing and the words Krul stated as: “I will tell you everything the first did to us” carries a lot of weight; but what kind of weight?

It could be said that, asides from turning them into vampires, and before the First left with Ashera, the First Progenitor did something stricktly to them, within this, it is unknown if Noya was affected as well or not, but nevertheless, Krul Tepes made it sound as if the figure of the First Progenitor that all vampires remember is actually the opposite.

What do I mean? 

If everyone might recall, back when Ashera was a human, Shikama had a different attitude towards him:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 78

At that time, Shikama was displayed as a merciful charming being, but after Ashera was turned into a vampire, it seemed like a shade of his true colors was shown; but, nevertheless, all vampires seemed to follow him since he was the one that changed their lives, but now, there’s actually something intriguing; what could it be?

Correct. Out of all vampires Krul seems to be distrutful about him; it is as if Krul managed to sense the danger lurking within Shikama ever since they met; and this takes more strength by how Noya, Ashera and Krul herself end up gazing at the discovery they made back in chapter 85:

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

It seemed like they were aware the First held down many secrets specially if he didn’t allow them to enter in a special place on which the corpse of his “son” would be, but, within this, the fact that the corpse made its appearance would link exactly to the LNs of Vampire Mikaela on which they stated the angel Mikaela fell down to Earth craving for blood; him being the origin of all vampires.

At the same time, there’s also an irregularity presented despite seeing the coprse, what could it be?

Correct. That despite the corpse being the source of all vampires; thanks to Krul’s actions reflects that the real ancestor of all vampires, the ancestor of their demise and curse is actually Shikama Doji and this is heavily reflected back in chapter 98:

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

This only leads to one thing and despite sounding ridiculous, the real ancestor has been no other than Shikama Doji; and the reason he aimed to use Mikaela and Shinoa for his main and absolute goal is to recover something lost but not emotional wise, but rather, something that belonged to him in terms of power.

What do you think guys?

It might seem a silly theory but, I found it interesting that the LNs of Vampire Mikaela always mentioned a being that aimed revenge.

Hello everyone, good morning, I hope you get to have a great day, remember to stay safe!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vfcrC87v8A

One of the things the fandom has been wondering it’s related to why or how Shikama was able to pop in the middle of the conversation between Krul and Shinoa; therefore, let’s talk about said topic, shall we?

But, before we start wondering why he possessed her easily in chapter 98, let’s recall some events to explain why such event happened

As far as we know, Shikama Doji was able to possess Shinoa by taking Yu and Ashera as hostages back in chapter 74:

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

Of course Yu and Ashera weren’t rivals to the First due to the inmense amount of power he has; thus it lead to Shinoa go in opening her heart and rescue them; this only allowed the First Progenitor to fulfill one of his many tasks to do to fulfill or achieve his dream of revenge or whatever he seeks within the story. As far as we know, his past and all his actions are shrouded in mystery.

But now, returning to the main topic, we might recall that Shikama took total possession of Shinoa in chapter 76 after Ferid aimed to make the First appear in a “weakened state”, and you might wonder how I can state that.

For that, let’s recall that the First was taking Shinoa’s possession at his own rythmn, but of course Ferid didn’t allow such thing:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 76

Within this, the First Progenitor slowly started to “play” around with the vampires that sided with the humans; until Rigr Stafford came in and started to have a serious fight against the First; eventually, the events on which Guren used 3 sinful keys to restrain the First Progenitor came in; but within this, the First Progenitor stated something rather curious:

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

He stated he could resist the effects of the Sinful Keys but that’d be harmful to Shinoa since she was still a human that didn’t go through a vampire transformation state.

Therefore, does this mean the sinful keys failed?

No. But why or how can I state such thing?

The Sinful Keys alone were used for one sole reason asides from buying time, what could it be?

Correct. The sinful keys used against the First were used mainly to seal him or trap him within one sole body but, how can I be so sure about this?

Back in chapter 57, Kureto got possessed by the First, though, his demon Raimeki managed to withstand such event, allowing the First to roam freely; but then again, how can I be so sure about this?

That’s easy:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 61

Shikama’s shadow heading towards Shinoa’s location, that can be displayed in chapter 66 and 67

The shadow that is circled in the picture above, it’s actually Shikama Doji’s shadow; same issue happens in chapter 73

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 73

Shikama heads to visit Asuramaru

Therefore, it can be said that Shikama had freedom to invade other hearts easily in order to achieve his goals or seeking ways to invade and finally possess Shinoa’s heart; therefore, this shows that the Sinful Keys held down certain effect, and that was to restrain his freedom:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 84

We can state that if Guren had the 7 Sinful Keys, the effects would have been much bigger compared to 3 sinful keys; but that alone was something Guren and Mahiru aimed; and that is to save Shinoa’s life from the First Progenitor without the need to kill her or sacrifice her.

But now, why did Shikama reappear after they used those 3 Sinful Keys?

That’s easy, if many might recall, Shinoa and the First Progenitor might not be close in terms of fondness compared to Yu and Asuramaru’s bond as wielder and demon; but, their link goes in a different form; what do I mean?

It means that whenever Shinoa would be endangered, Shikama would protect her even if it’s focused for own personal selfish objectives and of course, that’s awfully displayed in the next panel:

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

But of course, about how this change happened will be explained in another theory.

Returning once again to the main theory, it can be concluded that the Sinful Keys were only there to stop the First Progenitor from roaming freely to his own will; hence why when Mahiru used a special drug, they delayed even more the moves of the First Progenitor to track down the demon Mikaela.

As for Shinoa and the reason she was possessed easily, it’s because the door to her heart was left open when she went to save Yu; despite supressing her emotions, she already stated the side effects of it:

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

Correct, her body no longer belongs to her alone after the possession and her rescue; therefore, for the First Progenitor is easier to take over her when there’s something that catches his interest forehand; such as tracking down the demon Mikaela.

But now; many might wonder why Shinoa is so easily to possess and perhaps the conclusion is because her desires alone were released but, in fact, that’s not the issue; what do I mean?

Shinoa Hiragi doesn’t views herself as someone worthy to save.

Perhaps readers might dismiss the idea of such thought but Shinoa has been carrying a sense of guilt for a long time; and that is something visible in the last volume of the Catastrophe at 16 LNs; after Shikama returned to her; Shinoa learnt that her sister sacrificed herself so she could live up a more peaceful life; to add more to this, in chapter 72, after realizing that her sister was protecting her from a monster, she deemed herself as the only one that held down the path of happiness to her sister and Guren Ichinose; furthermore, the fact that she allowed Shikama Doji possess her alone, it was something that despite she aimed to save her family, it also caused damage to the outside world.

Those emotions alone, make her doubt if she should keep going or not.

But well, the story must keep going, and we can only wait to see how this girl will eventually evolve in future chapters.

What do you think guys? What are your thoughts?
