OnS Chapter 84 - Analysis and review
Well, let’s have a small review before I proceed with other theories. First we have an scenario on which we see Ferid and Crowley talking about Rigr himself about how hard he is trying to defeat the first but, knowing Ferid, he was smart enough to tell that it wasn’t Rigr’s goal completely.
We saw Guren adquiring another dagger or well known now as a sinful key. He attacked Mirai in order to do so making Kimizuki lose control along Yoichi; though Yoichi stopped Kimizuki in order to not make him throw his life in vain.
Likewise, we saw Guren heading off to face the first; the first didn’t take him serious until he saw the sinful keys. There were three sinful keys in total, mainly because Guren gave one to Rigr in order to make him give them power but, as expected Rigr instead of helping, he decided to drink Guren’s blood along his demons (Mahiru and Noya). But before he could even do it, Guren was one step ahead thus concluding the famous “betrayal”. He gave a signal to Ferid in order to stop Rigr proceeding to hold the first progenitor before he manifestated completely in the real world.
Now, let’s have a deep analysis to this chapter. So far, I’ve seen that many have doubtful feelings towards Guren and so on but let’s start by events that occured in the chapter.
Ferid’s thoughts about Rigr
To begin with, Ferid’s always given that sign of having daddy issues with Rigr but, he’s well aware that Rigr was never interested in someone he sired, instead he was interested in the powers of the first. Therefore, it is clear that Ferid is someone who doesn’t enjoy to be in someone’s plans instead the latter.
Ferid once treasured Rigr until he literally discarted him. Which is why, he always tries his best to mess up Rigr’s plans.
Kimizuki, Yoichi, Mirai’s fate and Guren
The chapter indeed held strong feelings when readers saw Guren stabbing Mirai in order to adquire a sinful key. Kimizuki with a normal response, he decided to allow his demon consume him, though Yoichi stopped him before he did something lethal to his own self.
Though, Guren told Yoichi about his wise decision and even told him to pick the bodies and leave...Guren ended provoking him. Allowing Yoichi’s demon enter in action mainly for the lies they’ve been living up to.
Though, Is Guren telling the truth?
First, Guren is indeed telling the truth about Tomoe’s body, he might have mocked about it but, Guren’s been a good liar but as some say, some lies hide the truth.
Guren did warn Kimizuki that he was going to kill his sister, but why? why warn him about that action?
NOTE: I’m not justifying Guren’s actions, it depends a lot of the readers about how they see him.
To begin with, Kimizuki’s been awfully honest when it came to his sister, he wouldn’t allow anyone to hurt her which is sweet to no end. Therefore, if Guren came by and tell him that he wanted a dagger inside his sister, would Kimizuki have agreed to help out?
No, of course not, for him the most treasured person is Mirai and has always been her. He’d do many things in order to keep his sister safe, therefore, instead of kidnapping or doing anything else to Mirai, he warned him about his actions, knowing that the latter would lose control and make Yoichi stop him.
Therefore, is Mirai dead?
It is hard to tell but I humbly believe she’s not dead. Why?
To answer that question, I’ll retord to another question. What happens to the human side of a person who ends up transforming into a seraph?
Yep, that person loses its humanity. Mirai’s transformation happpened three times. A person who accepts or embraces the destructive power of a seraph loses its humanity. Which is something that happened to Yu. At first he was close to lose control and rationality, thus allowing the seraph side of him to destroy humanity but, Asuramaru was there. The same case goes with Mirai.
The first time Mirai was used as a seraph (Sorry even if it sounds awful it is true, she was used) was in Nagoya, the second time in the vampire capital Sangiem; the third time was when Kureto faced Tenri, his father in order to destroy the old system that ruled humans.
Therefore, there’s a huge possibility that Mirai’s not dead. Indeed, he removed the sinful key but he did not destroy Mirai’s heart in order to do so. Therefore, it is a possibility she’s alive.
But then, why taunting Yoichi?
Along the squad, Yoichi’s a person who cares about his friends even if he hides secrets. Even so, the fact he saw Kimizuki suffer, seeing Mirai laying down in the floor, the fact that Guren mentioned his sister, it was a huge bomb for him.
Yoichi’s been delicate when it came to his sister but then again, why saying that his sister is in the basement?
To begin with, it is possible that Guren’s last movement before truthfully dying is to detonate a world resurrection; thus, he has given them a bitter hope to forge a new future without him.
Sinful keys, where did Rigr adquire two and from whom?
To begin with, we saw in chapter 68 that Rigr managed to adquire two sinful keys. I’ll develop a theory for this, but that’ll be later. At first glance, it makes people think that there were more seraphs out there, but if we recall that those involved in the experiments for the seraph of the end are the main characters.
It can be concluded that once the experiments were successful back prior to the catastrophe, Rigr removed those sinful keys from Kimizuki and Yoichi, which would actually explain why they weren’t able to transform into seraphs or more likely as to why Guren never gave them a special drug to turn them in seraphs like Yu.
Now, the third sinful key came from Mirai, the other sinful key that Ferid had came from the mysterious boy and lastly, where are the other 3 sinful keys?
That’s pretty easy, one is inside Mahiru, the second is inside Yu and lastly the third one is inside Mika no less but as I said, this will be a well explained theory in the future.
Mahiru and Guren’s real mission
As I stated in a previous theory, Guren and Mahiru’s main focus were saving the world, forging a future for humankind and the most important thing, giving Shinoa the opportunity to be human. Why did Mahiru do many stuff? Simple, she wanted to give her sister a future on which she didn’t have to harbor a beast. But...sadly, the beast inside and the title of the newest chapter, it just gives emphasys that Shinoa and the First have more in common than they can think about.
Outcome of the chapter
Everything was left in a cliffhanger, of course, we can’t tell if Rigr’s dead or badly injured to die but, it is possible that he’s still alive, just like the first. The first hasn’t been completely defeated, he was sealed for the moment. Therefore, the outcome for Shinoa might be her losing her memories of everything.
That will be explained as well in a theory.
Guren’s future
Guren has no future. He gave up everything in order to give humans the opportunity to stop being puppets of the first, even if he had to take the dark path, even if he had to take the clothes of the villian. The fact that he’s going to die can cover many scenarios, to a battle with Rigr, a battle with the first, a battle against Mika or a battle against Yu.
It is hard to tell the outcome but those are headcanons so far.
What do you think?
Let me know!!
P.S = I’m not defending Guren or anything. This is merely an analysis therefore, I’m not saying he’s right but at the same time, he’s not completely wrong.
