Spoilers for the most recent Re:zero chapter

I thought this when the interlude came out in the LN, but this chapter just reinforced the thought in my head further. It bothered me that when Sphinx became Echidna, she didn't use her name, only her title as the witch of greed, and now the newest chapter does this again while even drawing attention to it as Sphinxdona states she doesn't know what to call herself. I think Sphinx is lying to herself when she says she has finally managed to become Echidna, and deep down she recognizes that, which is why she doesn't use her name. The reason for why she's doing this is simple: she HAS to be someone other than Sphinx, as the existence that is "Sphinx" is being burned away by the yang sword.

This is even supported by how she transformed as well. She became this false Echidna by destroying all her duplicates in Vollachia to add their experiences together, but logically, adding Sphinx to Sphinx doesn't make an Echidna... it just makes her more Sphinx. This Echidna is nothing more than a mask she's wearing in order to survive.

Interestingly, back when Subaru was acting as Natsumi Schwartz, Abel had some strong opinions on masks, in particular that you cannot run from yourself forever, and that all masks eventually break.
