#ons chapter 87

Bro I just realized takaya took this title of chapter 87 a little too much seriously to the point he put Ferid into the cannibalism club lol

Well, good evening everyone, I hope you’ve been doing well, we’ll start up with the theory season, as for now, let’s talk about something relevant and this is mainly thanks to @saltysourpatch1​ for the concept idea along the depth of it; therefore, let’s begin!

As of late, I believe many might have read the latest chapter, within this chapter, there was something rather curious and unexpected, what do I mean?

Correct. Kiseki-O asked Asuramaru if he regained or recalled who he was:

It implies that Kiseki-O’s memories came back in one exact point, but, what does this have to do with Ashera?

If many might recall, Ashera has always been a special demon along the fact that he was favored by the First Progenitor due to the fact he was the First Person that turned into a vampire thanks to Ancient Yu’s blood; he was also the First test subject to give answers to what he longed for centuries:

More over, it only gives strength to the fact that once the First Progenitor was able to get in touch with Ashera, his main goal wasn’t triviality but instead, he wanted to remember who he was and what he was done to him:

Despite this, Ashera was unable to recall all his past until Rigr interfered with something special that was used by the Hyakuya Sect; said thing was administrated on Yu which only managed or allowed Ashera to recall his past, or mostly, how he lost his life and became a vampire.

But now, why are Ashera’s memories so relevant?

After regaining his memories, he was able to link with Yu in a deeper way, something that Guren never was able to achieve which was to have both consciousness while being taken over by his demons.

What do I mean?

If many might recall, back in chapter 87, Yu asked for power to Asuramaru, since he wasn’t able to defeat Guren by the difference of power between them, therefore, Asuramaru ended up possessing him entirely but, the process was different since the possession was with total willingness of the wielder, such events only lead Ashera to unleash everything along his presence:

Now, you might wonder why his presence is relevant along his memories, this is due to the fact that Ashera is a key; all the demons that slumbered within their cursed gears had no recollection of who they were; but despite this, Shikama focused so much on making Ashera remember who he was; he had all the time of the world to make other cursed gears awake their respective memories but once Ashera recovered them, it seemed like the long slumber Ashera went through finally broke.

But then, you might state that their memories were returned thanks to Mikaela after becoming a demon; within this, there’s an issue, the issue is that Mika is a demon with no memories.

While it’s true he’s now the most powerful demon due to the level of desires he once had; he’s a newborn demon, he has no memories of who he was except that he needs to feed in order to have strength; furthermore, Mikaela was born after Ashera recovered his memories and unleashed an act of presence in the world; but now, how can I state this if Urd, Ky Luc and Lest didn’t notice it?

If many might recall, the First Progenitor left the Vampire Council when Urd, Rigr, Krul, Noya and Ashera were around; Lest and Ky weren’t around nor were vampires around that time; furthermore, Urd is a vampire; but then, how was Krul able to detect her brother’s presence?

It could be said that Krul has knowledge of her brother’s scent, presence, and possibly, blood. They’re connected, just like how the Vampire Progenitors were able to detect or perceive the presence of the First, the same mechanic applies to Krul with her brother.

Returning to the main point of the theory. It could be said that Ashera is a key to the recovery of all demon’s memories; so far, with how the First stated “what was done to you” it could refer that before Ashera became a demon, there was certain process that he was submitted to so no demon would be able to recover its memories; but within this, there’s a certain degree of incongruence, what do I mean?

If many might recall, Noya seems to have memories of what the First did; but for that, it could be said this was thanks to Rigr; what do I mean?

In the World Resurrection Light Novels; Rigr used a Sinful Key on Mahiru, but, as we might recall, Mahiru merged with Noya, she devoured Noya so he could be sealed within her; therefore, it could be said thanks to that process, Noya managed to have recollections of his memories.

As for the other demons that were created, they were awaiting for the key to finally be able to remember who they were.

What do you think guys?
