CCcccc what do you think about the absence of a halo above Diavolo almost certainly confirming Barbatos is a fallen angel
Helloooo Mice!
I did notice this yes yes but I am hesitant to say it means anything agshdjd. Partly because Solmare is known for doing stuff just because and having no real rhyme or reason. However I do feel that it’s possible this company they’re collabing with pays more attention to details such as these. So it could be a deliberate choice.
Personally I don’t want them to mess around with what we know about Barbatos too much. But I kinda think it depends on how much of the prior lore they’ll be using. For instance, if they’re taking in the Nightbringer story as part of this and Barbatos is indeed Nightbringer, it could be related to that. Nightbringer being the beginning of all demons maybe makes him powerful enough to have a halo. Or they consider him angel adjacent, so it’s because of that. It could also be a fallen angel situation like becoming Nightbringer was what turned him into a demon. Etc etc I’m just brainstorming possibilities.
I do find it interesting that Barb’s halo looks different from the brothers’ though. At this point, the brothers have clearly become demons so their halos have become black. But Barb’s is like shattered and has some color to it. Why the difference? It could mean nothing lol. But it’s interesting to speculate about it.
Currently I just don’t have enough info to say for sure what it could mean. It’s possible that it means nothing, but it’s also possible that it indicates that Barbatos is something different from both Diavolo and the brothers in some way.
I’ve always kind of preferred Barbatos just being a demon from the very beginning but I’m not totally against him being a fallen angel if they make it interesting enough.
