La tisseuse du destin

Yui's rosary on her vanity (DL anime: Sea. 1, Ep. 9).

Religious Details

The Bible and Genesis: Ruki has memorized the Old and New Testaments. He focuses on the story of Adam and Eve with the Serpent in the Garden of Eden. The idea of the "forbidden fruit" and Yui's temptation is a recurring motif.

Jesus Christ and Sacrifice: Yui is a strong believer in God. Her character has been interpreted as a figure who follows the example of Jesus by sacrificing herself for her "enemies," the demons.

Religious Imagery: In games and the anime, a church is located on the Sakamaki Brother's Manor property. The vampires maintain it as a form of mockery to God. This highlights the contrast between human faith and demonic existence. (DL anime: Sea. 1, Ep. 4).

The Demon World: The series mentions a "Demon World" (makai) and references to "Eden" within it. Specifically, Karlheinz lives in the Demon World inside a gothic castle he named Eden. Somewhere in the castle is an apple tree, which is similar to the Fig Tree of Wisdom in the tale of Adam and Eve.

Supernatural Creatures: Vast separate merchandise feature all the thirteen male love interests in themed attire. They've been showcased as angels, devils, fallen angels, and ghosts/spirits. In another case, the demons outright dress as priests.

Tuskinami Brothers: Root of All Evil

Carla: Lucifer –Carla is a First Blood King who's incredibly powerful. This is much like how Lucifer was God's most powerful angel as one of the first angels created. Upon becoming fallen, Lucifer loses much of his influence, like how Carla's powers are weakened.

Shin: Satan –Shin is always chasing power and trying to influence humans. The devil is bitter about being weaker than his angel brothers. This is much like how Shin is always chasing after Carla's title and trying to force Yui into being his. Shin dislikes being weaker and beneath Carla.

Other: Significant People

Karlheinz: Abel –Karl is the stronger and adored elder brother. Likewise, Abel is the stronger and favored older brother. Thus, both have a rivalry with their younger sibling.

Richter: Cain – Richter is the weaker and unimportant younger brother. Likewise, Cain is the weaker and less favored younger brother. Thus, both desire to kill their older brother to gain everything they have.

Yui: Eve –Yui is addressed as "Eve," due to her role in Karlheinz's project. She's the first human woman, as the official sacrifice. This is similar to how Eve is the first woman. Technically, Yui is the second "Eve" as Cordelia was a failure in the project. Like Eve, Yui is submissive to her spouse, unlike Cordelia.

Cordelia: Lilith –Cordelia was the first wife of the intended "Adam," Karlheinz, like Lilith was the first woman. Lilith was also the first female demon, as Cordelia is part First Blood demon. Finally, Cordelia is a half Vibora (serpent demon); a nod to the Serpent which is the root of all sin.
