Love the song 💕 Feeling nostalgic right now

[ladybella-l]

I was watching American Gods, and there's mention of a chinese rabbit god in charge of love between homosexual people. I was curious cause I've never heard of the god, so I did some research to find out if there's such god. And guess what, there is.

The other ‘Guren’ (and Mahiru’s plan)

In the finale, we could see that Guren was possessed by Mahiru and lost control. But, if you think throughout the whole series, this is the only time Guren got possessed by Mahiru, then you hasn’t been paying attention.  

Guren being possessed by Mahiru isn’t something thrown randomly at the audience as some indicated. Actually, there’s foreshadow from the beginning of the series. 

At the end of season one of the anime, Guren tries to turn Yuu into a seraph in the battle against vampire, eventhough Guren cares for him and treats him like his son. And Guren’s action has raised suspicion from Shinoa. 

Shinoa has known Guren since she was a little girl and obviously this isn’t something Guren would normally do. Guren once cut his own arm so that he wouldn’t hurt other people, and put his own life in danger to save others multiple times (pls refer to LN). 

This is how Shinoa sensed that something’s wrong with Guren, this is how she realized he isn’t himself anymore. That is why she confronted Guren and asked him if his is being possessed by Mahiru. However, Guren denied (either because he is still possessed and couldn’t tell the truth , or he intend to keep other people in the dark).

And when Guren was captured by the vampire, according to Ferid, Guren has two personalities, and he goes back and forth between his two personalities everyday. So apparently some of the Guren we saw earlier isn’t really Guren himself. 

So, what exactly is ‘Guren’’s plan (the one possessed by Mahiru)? Or rather what is it that Mahiru wants?

(spoiler alert + speculations)

In the light novel, what Mahiru wanted the most is to dethrone the Hiiragi family, so that she could be free from them and be with Guren (they separated her from Guren and forced her to marry Shinya). And to do this, she needs power, she needs seraph of the end. So first she betrayed Hiiragi family and joined Hyakuya Sect (this is when she met Yuu and Mika. They are the test subjects of the Hyakuya Sect) , then betrayed the Hyakuya Sect after she got all the information she needs on seraph of the end. 

After Mahiru left Hyakuya Sect with all the information she gathered on the seraph’s experiment, she made Krul a deal and turn to her for help to complete the experiment. Krul accepted Mahiru’s offer (for Asuramaru) and then turned Mahiru into a vampire. But due to some reason, she ends up in Guren’s sword, and unable to complete her deal with Krul. At this point, she has to find an alternative to make her plan success.

So now, possessed ‘Guren’ was seen with Kureto. Even though Kureto never get along with Mahiru, he has the same goal as Mahiru. He too plans to complete Seraph of the End experiment and  dethrone the Hiiragi family. He wants to take down his father Tenri and become the head of the Hiiragi family himself. So it wasn’t really a surprise that ‘Guren’ takes his side, if Mahiru is the one behind all this.

Mahiru is the person that link all these people together. And she only has one goal in mind. That is to destroy the Hiiragi family, no matter what it takes .

Possessed? Or not?

I saw some people was curious whether or not Guren was possessed at the end of the episode, because Guren’s eyes wasn’t red. But I think the eye colour isn’t really that much of a hint of whether Guren is in a possessed state or not.

Guren has been possessed for quite sometime now, probably for years, and his eyes never turn red. It isn’t necessary one’s eyes become red when he/she is possessed by a demon. That is why Yuu and Shinya can’t tell if Guren is possessed during the battle, because there should be no apparent differences in appearance when one got possessed by demon (just like Mahiru in the novel).

They probably just draw Guren’s eyes in red during the battle to show us (the audience) that he was possessed by Mahiru.

[tartachocolatosa]

Mahiru hahahaha In fact, it’s a little true x3

[yakawa]

[ladybella-l]

So I 've noticed Mahiru covered Guren's eyes during the possession. I get that she doesn't want him to see what's she is about to do, to Yuu especially, because it will break him. I'm just curious that did Mahiru also blinded him during the previous possessions? Because normal Guren doesnt seems to know that Mahiru is planning something with Krul/Ferid, cause it will save him all the beatings if he does.

The Mahiru Matter

First, you need to know a couple of things: 

1. I do hate Mahiru. (/forces writer to write “the demon inside Mahiru”/)

2. It doesn’t mean I think it’s a bad character. No dumb motives here, I hate her because it’s well written. It’s really good to read a story that good you can’t help yourself but to love and hate characters to the core.

3. And as a Gureshin shipper, I don’t hate her for the stupid reason of “Gureshin’s cockblock”. That argument is as stupid as “Shinoa is trash because of Mikayuu”; PLEASE fellow shippers, DO NOT HATE ON FEMALE CHARACTERS FOR BAD REASONS LIKE COCKBLOCKING YOUR YAOI SHIP.

Second thing: LIGHT NOVELS SPOILERS ALL THE WAY YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Now that’s settled…

OMFG THAT BITCH OOOH OMF THE BITCH I HATE HER! SHINYA KILL IT WITH FIRE IF GUREN LEAVES HER TO YOU.

She’s an oni. The oni inside her is driving her crazy. And I know she protected Shinoa here and I’m glad for that but what the fuck:

Forcing the “love of your life yadayada” to accept an oni in his body and making him part oni and not a complete human anymore? Good job Mahiru. Wtf did you do that to Guren?! Of course I knew he had an oni inside him but I thought until I read the translations it was because he had sacrificed himself to protect his friends.

Using him and having sex with him (I know she was not having sex alone, Guren was there, it’s consent)? Because right, he agreed but then she tells him what? Oh I used you to let some steam off. Uh? Why don’t you step over his heart to crush it even more? If you love him just tell him but don’t hurt his feeling by being an oni bitch!

Omg I know I should correct what I said, that I don’t hate Mahiru but the oni she became but I just can’t stand the shit Guren is going through in the LNs (not even speaking the current manga and anime)! It’s too much!

And there’s still people around the fandom who think Guren is the bad guy, who have a grudge against him but how?

If you just read the LN and the manga, you can’t have that opinion! (You can not like his attitude, I know cocky/sassy characters are not everyone’s cup of tea) But you can’t deny he is GOOD.

Mahiru, I’m glad he killed you. Really!

SORRY I’M RANTING! My emotions took over me *-*

I have 35675698757 more things to say but not now. Hahaha not enough time.

It’s really hard to deal with all the angst in these LNs, manga and anime. It’s really good even if I start to think I/we am/are masochists. Keep reading it when our fav characters just go through HELL like that?

But I’ll tell you, the only thing that would drag me away of Owari no Seraph would be a Guren killed. After all the sacrifices he made, he doesn’t deserve to die. No one deserves it, but Guren the most. It would be too much for me and I’d quit OnS; but for now, just… wow, it’s full of angst, love, good actions and everything and I love that shit!

Also, I want to thank @2minutesofyourtime who translated said chapters.

I will soon make an entire post with the reasons why I think Guren is a good person. 

Thanks for reading the trash and sorry! :)

[ladybella-l]

Guren IS a good person. Though I never really hated Mahiru.

[ladybella-l]

Let's talk about Guren and demon Mahiru.Does Guren still loves her?

This could be interesting. So i decided to take a closer look at their present relationship. Guren used to love Mahiru, now that she has turn into demon, does he still loves her? I believe Guren still loves Mahiru, and he still blame himself because he couldnt save her, but it is pretty obvious that the Mahiru he loves is the Mahiru in his memory, not the demon Mahiru in his sword. After all the demon in his sword isn't really Mahiru.Its just a demon take on Mahiru's form. In the manga, Guren clearly aware of the fact that the Mahiru he loves is long gone. which is why he keeps on denying that the demon in the sword is Mahiru .When Shinoa confronted Guren about Mahiru, Guren told her Mahiru is dead and the one in the sword isnt her. When Guren was captured and questioned by Krul about Mahiru's whereabouts, again he answered Mahiru is dead, and he couldnt save her. So Guren has never confused demon mahiru for the real mahiru (but many readers are and thought those two are the same).He knows Mahiru is gone, and he doesnt sees demon Mahiru as the Mahiru he loves in the past. Which is why when demon Mahiru asked Guren to follow her instead of Kureto, he told her to shut up coldly. He was clearly annoyed and doesnt like the fact that she is messing with his head.So far in the manga, guren has show zero affection towards demon Mahiru. It is also worth mentioning that in the light novel, when Mahiru was possessed and became cruel and heartless, Guren was so annoyed by her action that he refused to pick up her phone call. however in the end he was forced to answer it because Mahiru threaten to kill Shinya, mito and goshi if he doesnt. Even by then, deep down, he knows that the Mahiru he knew is completely gone. So here comes the question. If Guren doesnt loves her anymore, why didnt he get rid of her? Remember that time when Guren was captured and interrogated by the vampire? the sword was taken away from him, but somehow it still managed to fly back to guren and possessed him. l dont know for sure how does this work, but i suspect it wouldnt be that easy to get rid of not one but two black demons (assuming noya is still in the sword), well at least definitely not by the simple act of throwing the sword away. though guren did tried to avoid the use of possession in the battle, even when his curse gear is possession type.

[ladybella-l]

Mahiru-no-yo. We have seen Mahiru, but where is Noya now?

Been thinking about this for a while now. This might not be important, but I was wondering what happen to noya, because he is no where to be seen. It was mentioned in the novel that Guren's cursed weapon used to be called Noya, because the demon inside the sword is a beautiful boy with red hair, who is known as Noya. the relationship between Guren and Noya is the same as yuu and asuramaru. At first noya refused to follow guren's order, but in the end guren was able to tame him, and noya finally agrees to lend guren the power to protect shinya, mito, goshi and those dear to him. The thing is due to unknown reason, Mahiru is trapped in the sword together with Noya. This part is yet to be explained in the novel, so I have no idea how and why this happened. but theres supposed to be two demon inside of guren's sword, but we have yet to see noya yet. so i was curious, is noya still in the sword, or is he gone? could it possible for two demon to coexist in one sword?

108 Hyakuya anime fanbook

I’ve started to read the new fanbook, have some choice excerpts that have me over the moon!

Keep reading

[withextrascribbles]

Lemme just draw your attention to this page of chapter 40 in which literally every panel is pain.

First, Yu’s fricking face when Guren comes back to himself. Is he listening to Guren’s words? Look how happy he is. It’s like Guren’s warning, the awful situation they’re in, everything is secondary in comparison to the possibility that Guren is still in there, that he still cares and that he might be okay.

And then Guren! The only point that Guren has any control at all is when he tells Yu to run. What if those are his last words? I think, from the tears, (since Guren literally never cries, never shows weakness in front of people), we can assume he thinks that was the last chance he had to speak.

Look at his face. There’s no emotion on it. He’s crying, yes, but there’s nothing on his face. Guren is an animated person. Guren is often yelling. But those words aren’t yelled. Why?

Because he can’t It’s all he can do just to get the words out.

Also, imagine Mahiru. She’s in control, but her control wavers just enough for Guren to manage those three words.Why?

Because Guren is crying. Guren’s emotions have flooded through her to the point that for a moment, just a moment, he could stop her.

All because he needed to save Yu. All because Yu was there. Yu was crying. Yu was in danger. And, like Yu says, they’re family.

Someone please sweep up the pieces of my heart and share them with my family once this manga is over please.

Chapter 40: “Don't wake up now Guren, you'll be broken beyond repair”

All these years, Guren has been struggling to protect his squad and the Moon Demon Company. He is willing to give up his life, and do whatever it takes to keep them alive, because ever since his father die, this has basically became his only purpose in life.

But despite his best effort, he failed miserably. 

 I don’t think he could take it if he found out that almost everyone in Moon Demon Company, whom he tried so hard to protect was killed.  And he is one of the person to be blame on, even if he wasn't in control of himself.

He has let his father down, he has let whoever rely on him down. All those innocent lives, they are all on him.

And he did just stabbed Kimizuki, and almost sliced Yuu’s arm off, the person he cares and loves, who is like a  family to him. And he is going to do more harm than just this.  He was in tears, because for a split second, he realized what has he done. Waking up and seeing all this is going to break him. Even his demon self said so.  

But he still needs to wake up. He needs to wake up now, for the sake of his family. If he doesn’t wake up, he is going to lose everyone dear to him, especially Yuu, Shinya, Shinoa and the rest of the squad. And he will surely end up dead. Either dead by the hands of his family, or devour by his demon completely.

But how? He demon is definitely much stronger than him. Is Yuu going to save him? Or Shinya? Even Mika? I could only pray.
