Hello everyone, this is the last theory for the meantime until more pieces come over; you might wonder about the title, but in fact, it’s a bit simple.

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

Within the story, it feels particulary interesting that the current point of talk is whenever Yuu can achieve to resurrect Mikaela or whenever Guren can resurrect humanity; or, in the contrary, that Shikama’s plan to resurrect his son comes to a total success, but, what do I mean with “the Past”?

For this, it’s a simple base and a spoiler that was given away the very first chapter of the story, but, does this relate with the Last Group? 

Of course it does, everything connects. And the current chapters have given a wink to them. But, who are they?

Correct. The Angels.

The very first interaction with Earth’s affair had to do with them detecting Shikama Doji after eons of years, they finally found that one who they labeled as the sinner who defied God:

The angels once punished Shikama Doji and expelled him from Heaven since he created a cursed child; which was of course hinted back in chapter 94:

Perhaps you’ll wonder, what’s so special about them or perhaps you might consider that they’re already filling their role in the story; but, is that truth? Given an insight after Shikama was captured, Rigr started questioning him about why he was obssessed on resurrecting his child; furthermore, knowing that Shikama does have blue blood and that Mika is a vessel to detonate the whole resurrection; Rigr linked everything and the process to do so is this one:

Image taken from chapter 114

Shikama mentioned that vampires couldn’t die, therefore, if the resurrection for the Corpse was a success, all the progenitors he sired would become sacrifices and ultimately, they’ll keep busy a force that in a particular way, hasn’t had the opportunity to reach Earth.

Indeed; the only way the angels would be able to arrive to Earth is by finding an opening into Earth by the disturbance created by the resurrection of Mikaela: though, the big question is:

How can I be so sure the Angels will ultimately arrive when Yuuichiro has foolishly claimed he’d bring Mika back to life including humanity by not following Shikama’s nor Guren’s plan?

Easy.

Sometimes, we need to look back at the beginning; they say there’s nothing like the present but, in this case, what we’re living is the past and the foretold story of a battle that took place and it’s been shared to us as readers.

The battle that ultimately will be inevitable will be thanks to Mikaela’s resurrection, even if the boys have a plan or dig into the past, the result will be drastically the arrival of the angels.

And of course, what’s a party if the final guest hasn’t arrived yet?

What do you think dear readers?

Let me know!

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 😊

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 hope you’ve been well, it’s been a while since I wrote down a theory but well, let’s keep going, shall we?

Within the latest chapter, we saw how Shikama reacted to the fact that the King of demons appeared back or returned, all the black demons recovered their memories thanks to all the power released from Mikaela’s body:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 93

But within this, Shikama has stated that Mika is his “precious child”, and even shut down Krul when she stated that he’s the real enemy of the World; along with that, the fact that Guren ran over to the position she was in order to seal Mika speaks a lot of the urgency at matter:

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

But then, why are Guren, Mahiru and Krul worried about him tracking Mikaela and using his current host for his ambitions?

Within Krul’s view, she sees the First Progenitor as an abomination she met on her whole life, a being that twisted everything and took all what was dear to her; this only made possible for a truce between a human and herself, being the vampire Queen of Japan; even if it meant taking decisions on which morality would be at stake.

For Guren’s side, he worries about it because he’s carrying a mission, a mission to save up the World even if he’s been displayed as an antagonist, Guren’s solemn wish is to bring back humanity since he was the one who triggered the End of the World with the Resurrection itself; but in order to do that, he has to fight against the very source of everything, which means, fight against the First Progenitor or at least give the key to the young squad to fence against him.

Therefore. They’re worried about the First’s goals; his goals alone have never been correct, both factions are aware that the First Progenitor has messed up many lives for his own selfish desires and reasons, both are aware that he has been responsible of the twists the world has followed suit, but then, returning to the question, why are both worried about such thing if he stated he’d save Mikaela?

That’s simple. The First’s objective isn’t to save Mikaela Hyakuya/Shindo, but rather he aims to devour him; he aims to absorb all what Mika is so he can bring back with his vessel what he lost long ago, but why? Why does it have to be Mikaela?

The newborn demon is a demon whose DNA was the strongest among all previous black demons; how can I state that?

Mikaela Hyakuya has been the only one to possess the Michaela trait and the Seraph trait; taking in count that his desire was “love” it only made it the biggest source of greed and desire he’d eventually feed on to the point of making him a prime example of overwhelming strength.

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

And just like Krul stated back in chapter 94 Mikaela became a 1st rank demon, one capable to keep up with Mahiru’s plan and of course, his powers keep surprising despite him not possessing a human to feed on human desires as he pleases, he’s already strong enough to face 3 black demons.

Even Noya is aware that Guren needs Yu, Ashera and Mika in order to trigger his main plan to defeat the First Progenitor which is something that I mentioned in a previous theory

For those interested, I leave the link here: 

OnS Theories (13S). Seventh Theory - Sun God Aten and The Sword of Michael

But, if Mika were to end within the First’s hands, he’d manipulate and rip Mika’s freedom along his soul in order to achieve and fulfill his final goal which, for the moment, remains as a mystery.

What do you think?

Hello everyone, it’s been a little while since I updated a theory; I hope you’ve been doing well, remember to stay healthy and safe!

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjAMmdl5_CQ

A samsara is commonly known as an endless cycle of birth and death, rebirth and death, and you might wonder, how does this apply with Mikaela.

For this, we must take in consideration certain factor, what do I mean?

Back when Mikaela Hyakuya was conscious he was living the best dream and realized he couldn’t keep going because it was too perfect:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 93

Mikaela expressed all the pain within his heart, he recalled all the things that happened before he reached the perfect dream he longed for deep within his heart; this gave him an option which was to make the dream his reality, what do I mean?

If Mika wanted to keep living in a dream, he could become a demon that would feed on human desires, of course, this lead him to say he was tired and he’s right, he was tired from carrying all that suffering over his shoulders, which is why this would lead him to accept the offer of becoming a demon:

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

But then, how can I state Mikaela is in a samsara if he’s living a peaceful life?

The reason to this is because the demon Mikaela is, like a casted shadow of what it’s left of him; what do I mean?

If many might recall, the demon Mikaela tends to gaze at the dream in a warm way,admiring the beauty it holds, but, the reason why I state Mikaela is trapped within a samsara is because despite him lacking memories, the Mika reflected in the dream happily in such world has no consciousness:

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

What do I mean by saying that the happy Mika has no consciousness?

If you might recall, when he first awoke on such place, he had recollections of everything, the vampires, the cursed gears, Yu’s family, his main purpose to fight and live; furthermore, he acknowledged that he couldn’t do that at the end since he died in order to protect Yu from any more danger.

But, after Mika accepted on becoming a demon, we can spot a happy Mika living a normal life in a fantasy world, in a samsara that might seem like heaven for the Mika living everyday with Yu and the orphans but, said Mika has no recollection of what happened in the past nor the present.

This outcome leads to the demon Mikaela, but why?

The demon Mikaela is the one living said samsara, and this is due to the fact that in order for his soul to cherish a happy and everlasting dream, he had to trade away his memories and suffering in order to keep such dream existing, but the fact the dream is an endless one, it only implies that the demon persona will be tormented with something that he himself will never achieve.

The demon Mikaela is aware of the existance of vampires, humans and demons along the contracts between human and demon in order to preserve his existance:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 95

The fact that Mikaela can gaze up at his happy self without remembering who he was, or what he did before, nor  recollect who their important persons were to him, it’s something that’ll make him walk through a path of sustaining and living a samsara without end.

Within this, there might be a curiousity as to how exactly his soul work. The answer to this relies exactly on what it’s reflected within Mikaela as a whole.

The dream the demon Mikaela is keeping up is the soul itself attached to him; he can see what his soul treasured and loved the most without recalling if he was part of such or not. And the only way for him to eventually recall who he was is to actually return with Yu once again.

What do you think guys?

I’m aware this is quite the wierd theory but it is focused on explaining how Mikaela’s soul is working and how exactly and why the demon has no memories about himself. 

Do you think this samsara Mikaela is currently living should prevail or should shatter in order to remember once again his mission? Do you consider that Shikama will save him or not?

Let me know!

Hello everyone, this is the last theory for the meantime, I hope you’ve been having good days and good health!

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

One of the things I’ve wondered is the fact on how exactly a demon’s soul work like, what do I mean?

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

Back in chapter 98, Shikama tasked Asuramaru to capture Mikaela’s soul but within this, there are two big issues, what could it be?

One is that Mikaela Hyakuya, the former vampire, is literally trapped within a dream and what it reflects that he’s in such state is that he accepts to embrace such dream as a new reality to finally rest and leave all the pain that was killing him behind:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 93

The dream itself gives to a deal between a demon harboring down within the heart to give birth to a demon but this can only happen if the beholder of said heart agrees to it; which can be seen in the panel on which Mika ends up accepting on becoming a demon, thus leading to the first appearance of the demon Mikaela in the real world:

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

And within this, a new total different being appears, taking the same appearance of the former vampire that accepted to become a demon; but then, why is it that a demon can’t recall their memories? Is it because he’s a different entity of what it was once ?

The answer to this is no, how can I state that?

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

Despite the fact that the newborn demon holds no memories of its former self, it is due to the fact that there was a deal made in order to bring forward the life or embodiment of a demon; I mean, in order to keep that perfect world on which Mika could always be happy, he had to trade something in order to achieve it asides from becoming a demon, what do I mean?

Correct. He had to trade away his memories in order to bring balance within said dream world. In said dream world there are no demons, no vampires, no end of the world, except peace.

But then, how is the soul connected? How can two Mika’s exist within one space?

It could be said that, the dream world demon Mikaela is trying to protect is the reflection of what the soul actually has longed for; and in order to keep it or rather to make it exist, there must be a figure within it which gives life to the “demon” that manifests with no memories; but, is that possible? If it were possible, what would happen once the demon recovers its memories like Ashera and company?

It could be said that the dream is shattered, the soul returns or awakens the memories of the demon making it recall all its life moments before the process of transformation began; it brings back all the moments and motivation that once resided within the demon. But why is it that Ashera despite recalling everything is a puppet of the first?

The issue might actually come from the Sire itself; what do I mean?

Ashera, Noya, Kiseki-O, Gekkouin, Byakkomaru and Raimeki were related to the First in one way, it could be said that the fact they had a bigger connection with him, it allowed him to manipulate them easily compared to how Krul Tepes reaction is towards him, and ironically, this gives answer to how Mikaela viewed the FIrst Progenitor:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 77

Correct. Before Mika became a demon, he sensed the awakening of the First Progenitor, and within this, he didn’t view it as a figure of respect but rather as a monster, a creature that cursed his sire and the rest of the vampires; a being that distorted the lives of many beings in the World.

But we digress from the theory; at the end, it could be said that a demon’s soul relies a lot on what they longed for and what eventually would lead them to become demons, a deal, an exchange of something in order to preserve the purity of that world even if it was a dream.

What do you think dear readers?
