#third theory

Hello everyone, I hope you’ve been doing well, this week I’ve felt inspired a lot by talking a lot with friends along discussing the latest chapter and I must say, the inspiration of the theory’s title is thanks to a game I’ve been enjoying as of late... yes, Fate/Grand Order. In fact, the theory title itself is something a character states within the game dialogue but nevertheless, you might wonder why I chose it, therefore, before I start, I must credit a dear anon since we were talking about Greece and then the idea came as a burst but well, in a way, it was something that at first was dismissed yesterday but bothered me, therefore, let’s begin!

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

It is well known that Rome holds a deep meaning to Christianity since it was the set point on which the Church was technically born, but how does this relate with Owari since Shikama has wandered around Greece for a quite good time?

The answer lies to this:

You might wonder, how exactly a wall like could even do within Mika’s deepest part of his heart, ironically, as I was speaking with an anon, we held a conversation about how Mika could have ties to Greece and here comes the unexpected. Such huge place actually doesn’t belong to Greece but Rome:

Image taken from BBC media

The big wall that Mika was able to see asides the houses in there are in fact parts of what it was once the Roman Colosseum.

While it’s true Shikama Doji took part of his experiments in Greece, it is exactly unknown what parts he started reaching afterwards with time, and specifically after his constant movement with the Progenitors within the time he spent with them.

And, of course, considering the lifespawn Krul, Ashera, Rigr and Urd had at such time, it could be said that one of the Progenitor’s destination was Rome.

Back in chapter 79, after he saw results within Ashera after he survived Yu’s attack and slowly started to become a vampire, he stated the next thing:

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

He stated it has taken over 600 years to find the first result of his long experiments to finally give results, but now, returning to the main point of the theory, why does the title implies that all paths lead to Rome?

It is well known in religion that Rome was the pinacle of Christianity, along with its founder being St. Peter since his name literally meant Rock, giving at the very end of his life the settlings to build the very first Church along the birth of Christianity.

But before that, before religion even took place within Rome, Rome was a mere thought of existance, Rome itself at those years didn’t exist. But rather, the main pinacle of wisdom was Greece, therefore, let’s take an insight to the main event, but what event do I mean?

Correct. The Dark Ages of Greece

According to history, the reason why it was the Dark Ages was due to the fall of a civilization which was  the Mycenaean civilization; said civilization literally collapsed and faced its down due to constant conflicts and the inbalance of economy and social stability which in fact would answer why Krul and Ashera, as nobles, were the main objective of citizens along the rage they carried out

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 69

It is said that during the collapse of said civilization, inestability took place, which of course would lead to the eventual discomfort of society, which would explain the destruction and the common practice of buying and selling slaves, but now, the only difficult point to state is where exactly Ashera was taken after such events occurred.

But it could be said, that Ashera was a member of said collapsed civilization and needless to say, Greece started to find other alternatives to recover its stability without giving a care of the collapsed system and society that faced its doom.

Thus giving an insight that Ashera and Krul belonged to the years near 1200 B.C and considering that Rigr and Urd were vampires at such time:

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

It could be said that Urd and Rigr could have a possible outcome just like Ashera and Krul.

And of course, it is to say that with time, Shikama kept experimenting on and testing his results which would take 2 000 years until he decided to leave the Progenitor Council to reach his final destination which was the Land of the Rising Sun.

For more information about the Dark Ages of Greece, here’s the source:

https://www.worldhistory.org/Greek_Dark_Age/

But now, what does exactly take before such time?

If we consider that Shikama was wandering around the year 1 800 B.C with the practice of his experiments, it could be said that his final time with the Vampire Council was around the year 200 A.C

But before that, before he aimed to walk his path with his First Apostle Ashera Tepes, one big question comes and that is, when exactly did he start using such word?

If many might know, in religion, everything broke loose after Christ’s dead and the future of the 12 apostles that followed him, and of course, as I stated before, the very first pinacle of everything, the rock that would be the settling of Christianity would be St. Peter, who of coursse died at the year 64 A.C. thus leading to a very interesting fact and that is the possibility that Shikama might have faced or might have seen the development of such events within the final times he spent with the Progenitors, furthermore, it’s unknown to which places he traveled afterwards.

But now, how could this relate with Mikaela if the experiments were taking place in Greece?

There’s a possible answer to this, and that is the fact that the Black Suns Mika managed to recall briefly along the fact that he and Yu were born or came from the same source or origin, could have been practiced within Rome after religion finally settled it, but how can I state this?

First of all, knowing that Shikama is the closest representation of the devil, it could be said he slowly awaited for the moment on which God would make his movement so he could prepare everything he planned for his stage of revenge.

But, within this, there’s a rather curious question, which is, how is the Rome Colosseum a relation to one of the countries where christian religion takes place?

In fact, it is to say that, according to religion, the one who ordered its construction was no other than the one very sole tyrant or rather the figure that was seen as the beast at such time, and of course, that was no other than Emperor Nero, the very figure that was seen as the worst being that humanity could have presenced in religious texts, specially since his crawling to power was one distorted and catastrophic with constant death and a path of blood.

Which would in fact partake that there would have been a small possibility that Shikama might have met such figure and have taken place the very first time he tried to clone Mikaela on such place as a protest against God and Heaven.

Therefore, it could be concluded that Mikaela or at least the very first attempt of cloning was taken place on the Roman Colosseum which would give an insight as to why he was shocked to see the fake souls which I’ll speak later on.

What do you think dear readers?

Let me know!

I must thank @mikaisyuudere​ @roxxy-ll​ along the dear anon that took part on the development of this theory, along my friends over discord that were an essential part for the development as well!

Hello everyone! I know, it’s been a good time since I’ve updated theories, next chapter is releasing soon, therefore, I’ll be updating several theories within these days.

I hope you’ve been doing well dear readers, let’s begin!

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

If many might recall, the last chapter ended up in a cliffhanger, furthermore, the concept of the soul was sightly touched ever since Shikama Doji tasked the demons to take Mika’s soul for his own purposes:

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

Within this, there’s something that is dismissed or rather, it’s not viewed in its full concept, what do I mean?

Correct. Demons have their own nature, but how can I say such thing?

For that, let’s take Mikaela’s behavior as a demon:

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

Compared to other demons, Mikaela is the first newborn demon that appeared with his blue eyes, the reason to this was spoken within an old theory but, after giving it some thought, there’s actually another possible fact that could lead to why Mika is the only black demon with blue eyes. And of course, this goes to the nature of demons.

Mika as a demon is seen as one with a cool demanor centered in what he requires to keep sustaining the samsara he lives, the dream world he sees but doesn’t remember why he sees it, but what does this have to do with their nature?

Demons alone, without the interference of the First Progenitor are like Mikaela, focused on possessing a human to feed on their desires with the difference that Mika does not focus on erasing the existance of the human he’ll possess, but rather, he’ll feed on the desires such human has in order to sustain the world he sees and is willing to protect:

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

Mika states he must find a human and devour their desires not because he’s a demon and he aims to control them but rather, because his set goal is to keep his existance within the world along the beautiful world he sees as a dream

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

And within this, it gives the insight that Mika has his own soul, what made him be Mikaela Hyakuya/Shindo in the first place; but why do I state there’s a difference between the other demons and Mikaela? Is it because he’s the First’s child?

The answer to this is NO.

Does it mean the other demons don’t have souls?

They do. How can I state such thing?

If many might recall the events from chapter 98 and 100, after the battle between Mika and the other 3 demons started, Mika stated something which is visible within the next panels:

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

The demon Mikaela states “he’ll devour the invaders desires first” but, how will he do that if the other black demons are acting under the will of the first?

The answer to this is in fact easy. And that is the fact that the First Progenitor, being the one who made the chosen vampires to become demons, did something to them related to what they felt or held dear, but, is there any proof to this?

In fact there is. Back in chapter 73 and 77-79, Asuramaru recalled memories from when he was human without the interference of the First Progenitor, he recalled he held Krul very dear to him, his main goal was to protect her no matter what 

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

But, after the awakening of Mika as a demon, Asuramaru recalled even further, to the point on which “that something” the First did to them triggered within them, ignoring the fact Asuramaru’s main priority was to protect his sister, which is something visible even in older panels which take back in chapter 49:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 49

It could be said that the nature of Ashera, Kiseki-O, Gekkouin, Byakkomaru and Raimeki was sealed by the First Progenitor, making them focus on feeding on the desires of humans in order to take over their bodies instead of keeping a world on which they could leave their laments aside, a world on which they’d be dreaming for eternity without worries. and, within this, there’s a hint of Ashera’s nature within chapter 98

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

Despite having their goal all set to take down Mika’s soul, Asuramaru recalled the words Yu told him at that moment, that he was his best friend, of course, the control the First has over them is bigger, making null any emotion he could have in relation to the bond he created with Yu, hence why we were able to see one of the scariest sides of Asuramaru:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 100

Before this theory ends, how can it be clear that Asuramaru has a soul specially with such attitude displayed in chapter 100?

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 100

Asuramaru stated something rather curious to Mika when he was facing him in a battle. Asuramaru wondered if Mika could protect his desires, the ones hiding deep in his heart, and this actually relates a lot to what I stated above:

The answer to this is in fact easy. And that is the fact that the First Progenitor, being the one who made the chosen vampires to become demons, did something to them related to what they felt or held dear

It can be said that the First Progenitor, in order to retain control of the several black demons that exist with the exclusion of Mika and Mahiru, it’s highly possible he took away all the desires the demons felt, what do I mean?

It is often said that in order to feel alive, there must be a desire, such desire gives birth to emotions, which is something reflected in humans most of the cases, but, that doesn’t exclude vampires, in fact, despite the centuries they’re able to live, they do have emotions even if they’re held down with time, but, within this, it’s highly possible that the First, after turning his chosen demons (Ashera, Kiseki-O, Gekkouin, Byakkomaru, Raimeki and Noya), took their desires away, removed that part of them what made them long for life in order to make them work for him from old times of the past.

Therefore, to conclude, the nature alone of demons is in fact a peaceful nature like Mika’s nature unless provoked which is so far a natural response from someone protecting his space and world.

What do you think?

Hello everyone, it’s been few days since I’ve updated, I’ve been a little busy along studies coming over but nevertheless, let’s keep going with these theories, I hope you guys are doing alright!

This theory is special, it isn’t centered on what it’s mostly known or rather, it is the doubt of veracity towards Shikama Doji’s statements.

Before starting, I must say that there’s this lingering feeling that Shikama is actually lying about having a son but rather, he’s seeking something entirely out of such thing, therefore, let’s talk about it.

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

To begin with, something that has been causing quite the surprise is to see Shikama Doji stating his life was ruined or rather was affected due to others along the cost of his “son”.

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

Back in chapter 94, Shikama stated he’d create a dark sun; due to how he was blamed and he lost his child due to certain incident that is left unknown for the meantime; but, within this, there’s something that doesn’t make sense, what do I mean?

It is well known that Kagami Takaya takes inspiration of religion in order to bring forward this story, furthermore, it cannot be denied that Shikama Doji or Sika Madu takes inspiration of the devil, the fallen angel Lucifer; the angel that was punished for trying to be superior to God; of course such statement might differ depending on the religion. 

But then, how can I state that Shikama is inspired by such figure?

Back then, at the beginning it felt that most things were fantasy until they mentioned the name of an angel, said angel was Michael and it wasn’t mentioned once but twice; the first one being Ferid Bathory and the second being the Hyakuya Sect:

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

This only lead to the fact that some names within the Bible or other religious texts might come in, but then again, how can I state Shikama is heavily based on Lucifer?

It is known that the name Lucifer has different meanings such as: “Morning star”, “Light Bringer”, “Bringer of Dawn”, etc. And one of the biggest details the manga has given as an insight of this is displayed within this panel:

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

In chapter 57, Kureto Hiragi faced Tenri Hiragi until he achieved victory, but, before Tenri died, he told Kureto that “a cursed god” would appear to him; after such thing was stated, Tenri died, Kureto said: “father?” to check if he was alive or not, but something rather fascinating is the fact that there was a light before the appearance of such cursed god; something similar to what the real name stands “morning star”.

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

Within Tenri’s corpse, his shadow slowly allowed to make Shikama appear after being using Tenri as his host until he could wait and eventually lead to the events of Shinoa’s possession.

But then, does this mean this is the only proof?

Actually, the second proof within this is according some passages which were focused on how Lucifer, before falling from heaven, he was able to walk down through rivers of fire, anywhere to impart wisdom to humanity; but among this, it is well known that Lucifer was one of God’s most beautiful creation and that’s something Shikama does share with said inspiration:

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

Within the LNs, after Shinoa got Shikama Doji back, she was finally able to remember who he was along the fact she stated he/she was beautiful; furthermore:

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

Shikama Doji stated that God’s personality was more twisted than him, implying he does have knowledge of God.

To even expand this, back in the World Resurrection LNs, specially in Vol. 2; Guren had a conversation with Rigr Stafford; Rigr stated that the First Progenitor was a being that played the role of a God; he decided which empires would come and fall along religions, ideas, etc.

Ironically, within this, it is often heard that the devil or formerly Lucifer, became prideful and arrogant which pretty much matches Shikama’s personality.

It could be said that Shikama Doji is heavily based on Lucifer or rather, there’s a chance that might be his real name at the very end. 

Now, focusing again to the main point of the theory, Shikama mentions he broke a taboo:

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

But what exactly was his taboo? Was it that he had a child or he betrayed God’s will?

While it is mostly seen in the manga that he mentions and is wishful to have Mikaela’s soul; there’s a huge issue that dismisses Shikama’s real intentions, what do I mean?

If many might recall, at the beginning of the LNs of Vampire Mikaela, the story dwells or rather states that it’s about revenge, revenge towards God. And so far, the one carrying such revenge is Shikama instead of Mikaela; therefore, what does this have to do with Shikama’s real intentions?

For this, let’s recall some events from the current story:

Back then, Shikama started to perform experiments until he found Ashera Tepes; him being the first human that became a vampire after drinking Yu’s blood in the Dark Ages of Greece, it seemed that he was seeking something within kids and of course, such thing was stated by Noya:

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

Indeed, Shikama seeked to find a kidt that could become Mikaela but all the vampires failed; but why?

It is well known that most of the vampires were sired by Shikama with the sole exception of Ashera; it is unknown if the other demons also drank Yu’s blood or the First’s; but within this, there’s something revealing, what could it be?

Correct. Within this, Shikama was seeking to find beings that held down certain traits until he stopped and seeked to reach the Land of the Rising Sun; but only one of the Vampire Progenitors kept with this and that was Rigr Stafford.

Rigr Stafford found two subjects that held down the Michaela trait, those being Ferid Bathory and Mikaela Shindo; but among this, Ferid found another one on his own, which was Crowley Eusford.

But, between those three, only one held two traits which was Mika, he kept the Seraph trait and the Michaela trait from the very moment he was born and Rigr only made sure he was the perfect result of what he seeked.

But then, now that the past was brought, why does Shikama need Mika’s soul if he’s his supposed son?

The reason is that he is lying. Shikama doesn’t want to recover his son, but rather, he wants to recover his real power, what he was once long ago, but, is there a proof to this?

There is actually proof towards this; and the proof relies within Ashera, Krul and Rigr.

Therefore, let’s proceed:

1. Krul Tepes

Despite that she hasn’t talked that much in relation of the First, she has never seen the First Progenitor as a father, but as a monster or someone who took her happiness away:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 49

At that time, Krul Tepes was begging the First to not take her brother away, to not take Ashera and make him a demon, but, within this, there was something interesting; what could it be?

Correct. The fear Ashera once felt or rather, the fearful presence the First gave towards them was so different, it was as if Ashera didn’t recall how the First was truly:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 49

Ashera didn’t doubt the First nor had fear towards him, it was as if he knew everything he’d do would lead to a better future which has been quite the opposite.

Along this, after the First possessed Shinoa and after the events of his sealing along Mika’s death as a vampire; Krul didn’t want to go where the First was but Ashera told her it would be fine; but among this, it wouldn’t take long until he appeared again and one of the things that has been displayed by her is this:

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

Krul displayed despair and fear of what it was about to come, same thing could be seen in the latest chapter:

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

It means she’s very aware of the nature of the First Progenitor, not the fact that she met him back when he was just slowly taking steps of his own goals but rather, she’s aware about his real nature and power to the point he’d endanger the whole world to its collapse.

2. Ashera Tepes

While it’s true that Ashera was fearful of him but grateful due to him giving him the freedom to save his sister, after he became a demon, he lost his memories about everything, and when the battle between him and the First came and Yu headed off to his rescue, there was rather something interesting that he mentioned:

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

Ashera states he has the power to mesmerize others along the level of danger he gives; this only gives an idea of what Shikama has always been, a real monster, but then, chapter 98 and 99 come into scene since it’s pretty much how the Black Demons gather and follow up the First’s original plan, but why?

This is due to the fact that the First might have brainwash them or rather mesmerize them to the point they’re obeying him without doubting his words; they’re still believing the stories about a greater future along his child

3. Rigr Stafford

As for Rigr, there really isn’t much to say since he’s pretty much opposed to the ideals of the FIrst; he’s even aware about something:

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

The First Progenitor never awoke completely, as time passed when he was possessing Shinoa, his awakening became louder to the point all the Progenitors of the World felt his presence, but for Rigr, that was the ideal spot on which he could restrain him, keep him at bay and capture him for whoever knows what purposes.

Therefore, what could it be said about Shikama’s intentions?

His intentions aren’t focused on merely making the world better towards what he views “better” but rather, everything he’s doing, the fact he developed artifitial life, the fact he created artifitial seraphs or rather he was capable of developing the technique for that only implies a rebellion; a massive rebellion but for that, he needs more strength than what he currently has; but if that were the case, then what’d happen with the corpse, what is the corpse to him?

There’s a possibility said corpse wasn’t actually his son but rather his former body; but how can I state such thing when his powers are towards what his former body looked like?

Shikama Doji is well known for being a liar, he might promise everything, but it must be within his interests that the other party must accept, which is a deal; Shikama Doji once stated that thanks to the sins of x beings, they converted him into an inmortal that would wander around forever, this alone reflects that his current appearance might have not been the same, but rather, the one that was the corpse

And this lead us to the biggest question, what was his punishment besides wandering forever on Earth?

Correct. What he was or rather, the almighty power he once had was sparced, removed or taken from him. He lost all what he once had except his wings; all the divinity he once had was removed from him entirely which ended up giving him a body that would suffer the strains of the sun.

The fact he started seeking boys with traits was just the beginning but the real purpose for this wasn’t something vague or simple, but rather, he aimed to finally recover what he lost via them, he aimed to find a human that could harbor both traits in a natural way which is why this leads us to the present, this would explain why he’d need Mika’s soul since his body or rather his physical is long gone but his soul, his soul keeps all the information he once had, all what he was once...only to fill in the void he once lost.

NOTE: I must say this is a theory mostly based on doubts that linger within my head, of course, I hope you get to enjoy the theory, by this it doesn’t mean it’ll happen but it’s a possibility nevertheless.

What do you think?

Let me know!

Hello everyone, I hope you’ve been well, I took few days off haha, but now, let’s keep up with these few theories left before next chapter arrives!

Remember to eat well and stay hydrated!

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

Last time, I talked about a theory focused on a victory and despair situation which is highly to happen:

OnS Theories (19S). Second Theory - Victory or Despair. Shinoa against time

I must say that the previous theory linked is tied with this one so, make sure to read it before reading this one!

Returning to the main point, why does this theory imply Ashera’s despair when he’s happy working around for the First Progenitor? (Take in count all the black demons are under his control)

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 101

Thanks to the fact that Krul is currently keeping an eye on Shinoa which is struggling against the First Progenitor in order to keep Mika safe from his grisp, it is likely that the First will end up awaking again and the person close to Shinoa is clearly Krul:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 100

What does this imply?

It means that, if the First were to awaken again, his first target would be Krul in order to flee from such place in order to regain his strength with the sole purpose to face down humanity with all his might, but how could this relate to Ashera when he ended up following the First?

That’s easy, if many might recall in chapter 94, Ashera told Krul everything would be alright:

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

Despite him serving the First Progenitor, Ashera does love Krul, and this is reflected back in the memory on which Ashera left with the First:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 49

Ashera always believed his actions would lead to a better future for his sister despite him being in control of the First; and the fact that the First wouldn’t hesitate to attack Krul, would actually be something that will without doubt break Ashera, but, how can I state such thing when he sided with the First?

From the very beginning, Ashera always kept in mind of protecting and making Krul happy, back when he was a human and were separated, he seeked to find her until he eventually did; both became vampires to be together despite the fact they lost their humanity, as long as they had each other, they would keep walking happily,but knowing the situation in terms of how Ashera didn’t manage to stop Yu from invading Mika’s samsara and almost managing to get hold of him to rescue him, it’d lead to unfortunate events against Ashera, since the prime goal of the First isto get Mika’s soul, which is more relevant for him compared to the lives of those who serve him.

At the end, this is just a theory of what could happen, of course, everything will be decided once chapter 102 is released.

What do you think dear readers? Will Ashera suffer or not?

I believe many will be sad or perhaps hopeful with the latest chapter but, of course, it’s discouraging to see Mika suffering; therefore, let’s talk about why exactly this happened, therefore, let’s begin!

The new chapter displayed a world on which the Hyakuya family was there reunited together; Mika’s aspect or appearance was the one of a 12 year old boy, he was helping the kids with normal tasks such as feeding them, taking a bath with them which in reality, it’s something he enjoyed to do but, of course it was a dream. Mika never had the opportunity to do that with Yu since the catastrophe happened the very moment Yu spent few moments in the orphanage.

Many will wonder why Mika’s apperance was that of a kid.

If many remember, there’s a theory on which I talked about Mika’s hand size and that is mainly due to the fact Mika lost his innocence at that time, he used to have faith on humanity but once he got out overseas, he lost that faith.

In the dream, his appearance reflects a lot on which his life ended, that point on which humanity vanished, but, why did Mika accept such thing and enjoyed the time with the Hyakuya family?

Mika’s dream was to have a normal life, to return to those peaceful moments where no worries existed except enjoy life itself with his family.

Many might wonder why that dream, this is due to the fact, said dream was created by the demon Mikaela, the chapter itself revolves around the perspective on how a demon is born in the inside, for this we will focus on the conversation between Yu and Mika; said conversation was translated by one of my friends.

In the conversation, Yu stated he wanted such pleasant moment to last forever; Mika eventually cries and states that everything’s a dream, of course Yu told him that was a lie, but Mika told him everyone was dead (Akane and the others).

Eventually, Yu told Mika that if he wanted everything to last forever, he could become a demon that would feed on human desires, which on the final panel of the spoiler, Mika’s face reflects acceptance and lastly seraph wings appear on his back.

Many will state that his aspect as a demon will be that but there’s one issue for this, what could it be?

Said issue is that all the events are reflections of what Mika wished and treasured the most; those are reflections of what he wanted the most, that being said, a peaceful life with happiness.

Therefore, his seraph apperance is another reflection, what do I mean?

Talking about a topic related towards real life, whenever kids are asked how they visualize themselves, much answer with: being a superhero, have wings, powers, or something related to a job.

The issue here is that the dream that was created by the demon Mika, is aware of what his human side desired; which means, the demon Mika is aware of his own body, therefore, what we can state is the subconscious side.

The subconscious side is well known to reflect the real self, which means, Mika’s subconscious reflected him as a seraph, but, will this be his real appearence in the real world?

The answer itself is unknown, but, at the same time, there’s a negative to this, why?

The demon that was born, will absorb all the power Mika had as a human, I mean, the power he had with the Michaela trait and Seraph trait.

Second, Mika is in a place that reflects what his heart and mind desired the most; it is well known that the mind and heart reflect the power a human would wish to have, along this, limits or boundaries within dreams do not exist, which give freedom to the mind and heart.

The moment Yu hugs Mika until he vanishes and Mika ends up sprouting wings, implies freedom for the demon.

His aspect in the outside world is unknown; many have stated in the hispanic fandom that Guren stated Mika would turn into a demon but Mika just displayed the opposite, but there’s one issue with this.

Guren is a demon, right now, despite Noya being K.O; Guren is able to detect the energy or more likely the presence of another demon, what do I mean?

If many might recall in chapter 83 once Guren absorbed his squad life force or energy, he left to track down the first progenitor, but, have you wondered how he was able to find him?

Easy, Guren’s senses were enhanced, he was aware where the energy the First Progenitor was releasing on purpose.

To conclude or more likely as a small review of Mika’s last panel before his wings appeared, his face reflected acceptance, he accepted becoming a demon, he accepted to feed on human desires with the sole purpose to protect his family, his wings reflect his will, the flight or the long journey he’ll have even if it means forgetting everything and destroying everything around him.

Hello guys, as you might have noticed, yes I enjoy writing down theories related to the chapters that come out and going backwards in the story to link more dots missing; therefore, let’s start with a new theory, shall we?

To start off with this theory, perhaps many of the readers noticed that Ferid Bathory and Mikaela Hyakuya have some things in common such as both possessing the famous “Michaela Trait”, both being of certain interest to Rigr Stafford; and, as well, tragedy within them.

Perhaps you’ll wonder why I’m not including Crowley or Ashera when both of them have this famous Michaela Trait, but the reason I’m leaving behind these two will be explained at its own moment within this theory as well.

First of all; Ferid and Mika share these similitudes or physical characteristics to the angel sleeping in the coffin in chapter 85:

Yes you might wonder how these characteristics go like, but well, let’s compare the younger versions of Ferid and Mikaela

Young Ferid Bathory

Young Mikaela Hyakuya/Shindo

Many might notice the resemblance, and of course, Rigr Stafford was focused on finding his personal Michaela after Sika Madu left the Vampire Progenitors by themselves; which quite implies he was seeking someone with certain characteristics and physical atributes as well.

Before heading off to explain the main characteristic these two share asides the Michaela trait, let’s make a review:

Selection due to Michaela trait

As I stated before, these two harbor the famous “Michaela trait”, as to what exactly this trait can do is officially unknown and this is due to the fact that Kagami Takaya hasn’t continued the story of the LN.

But the fact that Rigr chose them to be Michaelas at a certain point has a lot to do with what the First Progenitor did with the other Vampire Progenitors that are currently trapped within the Cursed Gears.

Among vampires, only selected ones were turned into cursed gears; but why selected?

Mahiru Hiragi was the one who managed to create the very first cursed gear; after that, she ended up working with more and that’s something the First Progenitor could see and observe with detail.

Among this; Rigr Stafford at first wanted to test and create what the First Progenitor did with them; find someone with that “special trait” and turn it into a vampire; which is how Ferid was eventually found and turned into a vampire.

He had something within him that made Rigr think he was special and thus proceeded to turn him into a vampire; but, with time, the results Rigr was expecting were null; which is why he left Ferid and decided to pursue or find another test subject that would give better results. How can I assume or believe this?

According to Ferid in chapter 64, Ferid stated that he once called an angel, a MIchaela but then, at the same time, he stated that Rigr chose a new one, a new Michaela, but how?

As many recall along the new parts within the newest LNs, Rigr Stafford after trying to reduce the influence and power of the Hiragi family, he proceeded to do the Project of the Seraph of the End; thus among the test subjects that gave better results; within that list was Mikaela Hyakuya; mainly because Mika had the Seraph trait and the Michaela trait.

Rigr’s plans were mainly focused on making Mika meet Guren and eventually see what the story unfolded within the beggining such as seeing Yu becoming a seraph; having a cursed gear, etc.

But, thanks to Ferid Bathory, such events never came to light and Rigr’s plans were ruined.

A mutual feeling, a feeling both know  NOTE: This does not involve ships

Now, with that small review, there’s something these two share in common, and many might haven’t realized but what could it be?

Yes, “love”. That word that fills or revolves around the story, that feeling that seems to be so strong to the point of killing, or to the point of obssession.

How can I reach such conclusion?

To begin with, Ferid Bathory, stated that he loved his family, and of course, his form of love can be represented as twisted; among this, in chapter 91, many saw how he stated he loved Rigr before attempting to kill him.

Likewise, Mikaela Hyakuya has experimented this feeling as well; back when he was a kid that feeling of love began with the orphanage and the Hyakuya family; within the manga chapters of the Catastrophe, he knew how to direct the kids in order to gather knowledge, he was overprotective over them; he was wary of others which is not bad; but his mind and tactics were higher compared to other kids.

After the loss and having Yu as the last member of the Hyakuya family, his form of love became close to obsession; but before we continue, let’s explain better this term.

The obssession Mika shows or displays is not the one many might believe, in fact, it’s the fact that he’s afraid of losing his last member of the Hyakuya family, the last person that cared for him on his life; which is why he always asked and begged Yu to leave with him; that’s why he did the impossible in order to take him out from humanity’s grasp.

Now, once cleared that; returning to the main topic; Mikaela and Ferid know deeply the feeling of love; both are aware the concept behind that term, both are aware what that feeling can actually make others do; and so, the feeling itself can take two shapes:

A love that is so strong to the point of killing which is a twisted view for people except for Ferid.

A love that is so strong that it can reach the point of obssession, a strong feeling of doing everything within hands to keep someone safe even if it can go against its own wishes.

Now, why didn’t I include Ashera and Crowley within this theory?

Crowley and Ashera are quite alike in terms of attitude, both focused on the greater good of others; both seeked reasons to live but the paths they ended up following eventually lead them to lose their memories and the other, to eventually chase someone until the point it ended up making him lose its feelings towards the fallen ones.

Therefore, what do you think of this theory? Do you think Mika and Ferid share some things in common or not?

Let me know!!

Well, after having a break, let’s keep up with the theories, I hope you guys are holding up with the chapter, therefore, let’s begin!!!

This theory has a peculiar title and indeed, many are aware that Yu’s heart was totally broken and tore into pieces after losing his family again, losing his reason to live; along the fact that we learnt that Yu still views himself as a monster, as a creature that shouldn’t have lived but there’s something within the chapter that shows us the opposite.

NOTE: Theories do not involve ships

Why do I state that there’s a lesson behind?

To begin with, Mika is aware that Yu’s crying and that Yu is still the same kid that cries despite putting a happy face; he’s aware that Yu’s always trying his best to live but at the end, certain things go beyond his control; despite that, there are two lessons within the chapter and those two are the following ones:

A reason to live

This is one of the lesson’s Mika along Ashera gave to Yu; Yu’s always trying to find a reason to live, he’s always pursuing and fighting against everything, against his own life, he has reached neglection towards himself but that’s something Yu’s been torturing himself with; to the point he puts a fake smile despite everything.

Of course, his family values him, the squad loves Yu so much, they worry for his safety, they’re aware Yu is still a kid on his mind and knows when to be mature; same goes for Mika, he knows Yu is childish but knows how hard he tries for everything.

Yu might not understand it, he might not understand nor comprehend why Mika said goodbye with a smile, he’ll be sad, broken for several chapters perhaps even if his family is there to support him but one thing Yu will eventually learn is the value of a reason to live. That there’s nothing wrong with how you were created, how you were born; the fact that people care for you the way you are is enough to make you fight against a crude word.

Yu’s reason to live was Mika because he gave him support, back when they were kids, Mika was always there with Yu making him open up with his family from the orphanage, and Yu eventually learnt the meaning of a family thanks to Mika and the squad.

And at the end of the chapter, after Mika sees Yu crying screaming at the top of his lungs that he can’t live without him, Mika smiles and is certain that for now it’ll hurt, it’ll burn like the worst injury but he’s certain that Yu will find again a reason to live, a reason to fight again against the broken world he lives.

Life is filled with beauty and abundance

One of the things I really admired from this chapter is the fact that the whole tragedy and final gave a strong emotion even without the need to express words, just the images alone conveyed feelings.

We’ve seen among the 90 chapters how each character has endured their respective hardships; after Mikaela joined the squad and despite putting a cold attitude, at the end it was implied that Mika valued his new family and was aware that they loved and protected between each other; he was aware that they haven’t discovered the cruelties that go beyond of what he has managed to see across the Ocean.

Despite that, despite all the odds in that dustry crumbled world, he saw that there’s beauty with small things; vampires despite having no desires compared to humans; they do seek to find a reason to live despite being inmortals, despite not being able to commonly die; they wonder how or why they were turned, why they have to live with a curse of eternity but beyond that, thanks to Yu’s optimism, and the fact that Yu managed to find new friends that worry about him and care about him; he was able to see what he once saw in the past; he saw that despite living in a broken world, kind humans exist, there will always be persons that will do anything possible to see you do well and that’s something the squad did for Mika, they worried about him, whenever they had to face someone, they fought together, they always heard his opinions and thoughts along defending him when Narumi was questioning him as well.

What do you think dear readers? Do you think this chapter had meaning or it was just another chapter?

Hello guys, and we go for the third theory of the season, this theory was talked and consulted with @saltysourpatch1​, therefore, let’s begin!!!

Within the hispanic fandom and my friend saltysourpatch, we’ve discussed on how exactly Mahiru ended up gaining horns, and this question pops mainly because in past chapters, we’ve seen Mahiru without horns, therefore, let’s talk about it and explain it, shall we?

To begin with, Mahiru Hiragi was born from a demon possessed woman, with time, the demon’s influence started to affect her decisions to certain degree; with time, she became someone known as a namanari.

Afterwards, she ended up making a deal with the Third Progenitor Krul Tepes and lastly, her life as a namanari ended once she became a vampire; afterwards, she went to a downhill or a path of destruction on which she ended up giving her life by stabbing herself and merging with Noya in order to become a demon.

Now, if we’ve seen that Mahiru, despite residing within a cursed gear, she only had her red eyes,how was it possible that she grew horns or more likely they popped out on the latest chapter?

For that, let’s talk about the events that have happened within the story with the latest arc. We saw how Mahiru managed to physically manifest after Guren let loose Noya; which means, he accepted on becoming a demon; therefore, Guren proceeded to enhance his powers by taking the blood of his squad members without killing them; this means he took his energy to get stronger and be able to face the First and Rigr.

Afterwards, we see the current tragedy between Yu and Mika, the downfall of Rigr Stafford and the arrival of the other vampire progenitors; of course, when Mika starts to become a demon, Noya Hienma gets scared due to the new demon’s scream and so, he becomes wary of Guren and Mahiru. (the reason will be explained in another theory).

After Noya becomes suspicious, Mahiru ends up stabbing a drug on him in order to shut him down, which of course is the same drug used for cursed gear wielders, it stops the link between wielder and demon; therefore, this only allows Mahiru to gain control within the cursed gear but, how does she do that?

First of all, demons generally stay in one sole cursed gear nor share cursed gears. Therefore, when Mahiru became a demon and merged with Noya; she restrained him, which is why her powers were gone to give Guren power but also restraining Noya from taking full control over Guren.

Therefore, when Noya ends up uncunscious, Mahiru gains total control of the cursed gear, she loosens the grip of control she had over Noya; which explains why she gains a more carefree personality now that her horns popped out.

Therefore, we can conclude, that the reason on why her horns never appeared before were mainly due to Noya being active and sealed within her.

What do you think? Do you think it’s possible?

Let me know!!!

@saltysourpatch1​ I hope you enjoyed the theory, thanks for the idea as well and support!
