OnS Theories (24S). Third Theory - Mikaela’s Fate in two sides. Shikama’s view and Yuu’s view

Hello everyone, I’m sure some are hyped, others are making memes (yeah I did some for the spanish fandom ehe!) and others might be sad due to how at the end Guren’s plan is turning into a complete reality, but, is it really bad?

For that, I shall discuss with you some missing points within this theory.

Therefore, let’s begin!

P.S: Theories are held within a neutral view and ships are excluded

As something that was bound to happen, within the newest chapter of OnS, Mikaela was finally able to become Yuu’s cursed gear and demon, allowing both to devour each other’s desire to become stronger and finally be able to face down the First Progenitor:

But despite this positive outcome, there’s something that several fans have pointed out which is something that the First mentioned:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 107

Therefore, let’s talk in depthness about these two standpoints of view and who might hold reason through all the story.

Shikama’s Point of View

With Shikama, we’ve seen how he slowly prepared everything to ambush the demon Mikaela by sending his three Apostles to his world in order to capture him, but of course, such event was halted by Yuu:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 102

And of course, after these series of events, Shikama decided to step in and ambush Yuu and Mikaela after they had a small fight between each other to seal the pact between demon and wielder.

But, if Guren’s goal was to have Mika within a cursed gear, why does Shikama aimed to do that as well?

First of all, Shikama wasn’t planning to make Yuichiro and Mikaela happy by any means despite how the ancient forgotten past may seem to look as a possible miracle of bringing Mikaela back, but why?

This is due to the fact that the corpse we’ve seen several times, despite being called Mikaela, isn’t Mikaela Hyakuya, what do I mean?

It’s known that the soul is the composition of consciousness, the one that harbors our memories, will, fondness of someone, etc.; but once the body perishes, the soul dies with it and leaves the body to a faraway place.

First of all, Shikama’s main goal or objective with Yuu in the past was to “SACRIFICE” his life:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 106

But, with the current chapter, a new contradiction appeared, therefore, why is it that?

What does Shikama aimed for by having Mikaela as his cursed gear in the future?

First of all, there must be something clear. Mikaela Hyakuya is his own persona. The one that embraced to turn into a demon in chapter 93; the one that appeared in that beautiful dream was his soul and the consciousness was the demon itself, the figure that lurked and saw the happiness in such place while not knowing what he was seeing or who he was seeing.

The corpse despite carrying the same name as Mikaela is not Mikaela Hyakuya.

This in general means, being autonomous, having one’s own identity.

Therefore, when Shikama asked the next thing:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 98

What was the danger in there? That’s easy to answer and that’d be the loss of identity and memory. But, is there proof to this?

There is.

Once the demon Mikaela’s heart was shattered, and eventually was rescued by Yuu, there was something that could be described as a reset in chapter 103 due to the attitute he took with Yuu after they met again:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

The demon Mikaela behaved like any other demon after meeting the one that would either become their meal or their wielder; and of course, after this the battle took place between them, BUT, there was something else at hand, at that was, resonance, which lead to the soul of the demon Mikaela remember something from his past which was the next thing:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

Leading to the same painful memory Yuu and Mika hold to their hearts, the very needle that hurts them to no end.

But, what does this mean?

It means that the demon Mikaela only holds memories of what he lived and what his current present self had, thus leading to the same question.

What would have happened if Shikama succeeded on taking Mikaela’s soul?

That’s easy.

Mikaela Hyakuya would have ceased to exist. His existence would have forgotten everything, all the memories, all the sadness, all the pain, all the joy he expeirenced in life, to leave a soul in a blank state, an empty canvas prepared to be overwritten by something else.

But, how does this relate to seeing Mika as Yuu’s future cursed gear on Shikama’s plan?

That’s simple. Shikama’s highly possible goal was that the new soul he’d rewrite and bring forward would have favored his side, thus making Yuu carry the soul of what he lost to eventually take over him and make him cease to exist, which would lead to possession, a complete possession with no absolute control by his side.

But, since this scenario never happened thanks to Yuu, thus leading to the new scenario.

Yuu’s scenario of Mikaela’s Fate

In contrast to what Shikama had aimed, Yuichiro is very aware there’s no time, and whatever the monster wanted, it wouldn’t benefit Mika and himself, it’d mean they’d cease to exist in order to fulfill the agenda of a being that has never treasured life.

But perhaps many might wonder, how is Mika becoming Yuu’s demon makes any difference?

In contrast of being sacrifices, they’ll preserve their autonomy and fight for what they want which is to live; Yuu wants to see another tomorrow not only with his friends but with Mikaela as well:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 107

Yuu not only wanted to save Mika for his own goals or desires, BUT because he wanted him to see that there’s still hope in the world, that nothing is over yet, but in order to find the key to the map they traced, they have to fight, they have to stand together to defeat the one twisting their fates constantly.

Yuu doesn’t want to lose the gold time they spent ever since they met from the first time up till now, those years they met and fought to finally be reunited were valuable:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 107

Yuu’s main objective isn’t to use Mikaela as a tool, but he has set in mind to save Mikaela from the curse of being a demon and return him to be human again.

For Yuu, Mikaela was his first friend, his first family, the first person to ever need him in his whole life without interest,

Which this will lead to the first loss of the First Progenitor. It’ll be the first time he’ll see that Hope and Love towards life overcome any curse; it can break havoc any fate imposed even by a fake God.

Does this mean Mikaela will forever be trapped in a weapon?

The answer to this is NO.

He’ll become human again. How? Only time will tell!

What do you think dear readers?

OnS Theories (24S). First Theory - Illusion or Reality. The Black Suns. Resurrection vs Absolute Darkness

Hello everyone, I hope you’re doing alright, I had technical issues here with the post but well, this theory is very centered in a possibility, a very close one to what exactly or why exactly Guren and Shikama aim to have Yuu and Mika together for their respective plans.

I must say the theory tiself is, powerful, therefore, I hope you get to enjoy it!

P.S: Theories are held within a neutral view and ships are excluded

As of late, one of the main topics that have been touched within the latest chapters have been about the Black Suns along how they relate to Mikaela and Yuichiro, specially after these black suns were something visible for the demon Mikaela:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

But, within this, there are two characters that have been focused on getting Mikaela and Yuu together for their respective agendas. Said characters are:

Shikama Doji:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

Who heavily stated that he’s going to “save” Yu and Mikaela, which of course, such statement can be taken lightly since his goals and ambitions aren’t something that will benefit those two.

And, the other charcater who needs them is Guren Ichinose:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 86

In chapter 86, Noya highlighted that Mika, Yu and Asuramaru were the elemental keys to Guren’s dream, which of course, is to Resurrect all humanity that perished with the Catastrophe, but now, the main question is, how exactly do these characters plan to bring forward their respective plans?

Correct, by only one way and that is a Ritual.

You might wonder how exactly a ritual would connect to this, and ironically, there’s been a proof to this or rather a hint in the latest chapter of the story:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 105

In chapter 105, it was visible that Shikama carried the corpse of Yuichiro from the Dark Ages of Greece in order to perform a ritual with the Black Suns he created with time, but, within this, is there a proof to claim that Shikama carried a corpse?

In fact there is, such proof relies with Noya:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 85

In chapter 85, when Guren headed off to Yuu’s position, he eventually released Noya and manifested him in the physical world, to which in less than few seconds, Noya went to see the first grown-up Yuu, which implies a lot that all the clones of Yuu he has seen died at a very young age.

But returning to the ritual process, how can I exactly state there’s such thing?

For this, it’s needed to remember something important, what could it be?

Correct. The Black Suns the demon Mikaela was able to see:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

In said chapter, when the battle between Yuu and Mika was about to begin, the demon Mikaela managed to see the Black Suns in the sky, but, within this, there’s something rather intriguing, what could it be?

Correct, the black suns started to gather or produce something like lightning:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

And within this, said lightning started to gather around one character, which of course, said character was Yuu no less:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

And the main question is, why did the black suns started to resonate with Yuu?

Blood is the currency of the soul. (Quote from Hellsing)

One of the things the demon Mikaela wondered after seeing the black suns was whenever they appeared within his heart or not, and of course, in chapter 104, he was able to see the Black Suns again admist knowing that Yuu wasn’t capable of seeing them, which could lead to the question whenever they existed or not in the real world, but, in the case they didn’t exist, it’d fall into the illusion of existance. Thus leading to the next thing which is: Why was the demon Mikaela capable of seeing the black suns?

It is known that Yuichiro, the one that has autonomy, consciousness and a soul despite being created with such black suns, had more humanity in contrast to the clones Shikama made long ago; and of course, this is heavily thanks to the experiments Rigr made with him when he was a child, and you might wonder what does this have to do with the quote.

For this, let’s analyze some factors.

First of all, one of the heaviest hints about how Blood is the currency of the soul is the very fact that the place where the space of the demon Mikaela, after being sealed within the weapon he wielded as a vampire, was the very place on which his reunion with Yuu took place along the very fact that he became a complete vampire:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

To give strength to the theory, it is needed to consider that, when Mikaela drank human blood for the very first time, he wasn’t drinking from an average human, but rather, he was drinking Yuu’s blood, but, what is so special about Yu’’s blood?

Despite knowing the current Yuu was created to be more human which gives sense as to how he has more consciousness and willpower with his actions, he still carries the blood of a seraph, just like the former clones that were made by Shikama carried; and of course, if many might recall, said blood was the one capable to turn into vampires those who are currently the Apostles of the First Progenitor.

Within this, it is needed to be considered that Yuichiro gave up his humanity in chapter 42; he literally threw it away with the sole purpose to become something that is neither seraph nor demon, which would make sense as to why now the demon Mikaela was capable to see the black suns, what do I mean?

Mikaela stopped drinking blood from a human but rather from someone who was neither human, namanari, demon or seraph; leading him to absorb parts of Yuu that are tied to what builds his soul.

But now that this first part is solved, the next question comes and that is:

How exactly will the ritual take place or be made in consideration of what Guren and Shikama have in their agendas?

For this, let’s set 4 scenarios in relation of method and goal.

First Scenario - A rod made of Black Suns. Shikama’s side

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

As I mentioned above, the Black Suns had a reaction once Yuu aimed to attack Mikaela; the black suns started to gather around him as if it was something determinated, as if Yuu was needed to be the trigger for such action.

Which only leads to the possibility that, in case Shikama manages to reach these two first after Yuu and Mika conclude their battle; it’s possible that Shikama may activate the black suns against Yuu and Mika acting as a rod to capture them and restrain their movements.

Within this, it must be taken in consideration that Shikama has authority over demons along the fact that Asuramaru works for him, leading to the possible events that he might be able to control the demon Mikaela and force him to take control over Yuu with the sole goal of finally controlling something that escalates the word taboo, something unthinkable to any, something that will bring forward his goals and ambitions.

Second Scenario - Resonance of the Black Suns. Guren’s side

In contrast of the first scenario, within this second scenario, in case Yuichiro manages to win against Mika before the First Progenitor makes his apperance, it’s very likely that in future events, in order for them to work as one, as two souls merged, there must be something present which is the resonance of souls. What does this mean?

With the resonance, it is meant that the Black Suns may gather around them without harming each element that will be participating in the ritual; in this case, it means that Yuu, Mika and Asuramaru will retain their willpower and consciousness without losing it with manipulations.

But, despite these two small scenarios, there are other two that mustn’t be forgotten, what do I mean?

Correct. The goals of the First Progenitor and Guren.

First Scenario - Absolute Darkness. Rebellion against God.

Within this scenario, it is needless to say that, in former theories, I’ve stated that Shikama is quite the literal representation or incarnation of the fallen angel Lucifer, the one who rebelled against god...

Link of theory: OnS Theories (17S). Third Theory - Shikama’s punishment, and the reason behind the corpse (Long Theory)

Back in chapter 94, he stated he was punished with his current physical appearance along the loss of his child, which he would retaliate by making his own dark sun.

Within this, it does give an insight that Shikama isn’t playing or showing a tantrum like the Progenitors have displayed against their sire, but rather, he holds a deep grudge against God, a grudge that has made him do the impossible in order to carry an image of being someone like God within the story.

Hence why, in the case Mikaela and Yuu were to fall on his hands, the very first thing he’d do against them would be taking away their consciousness and wilpower in order to finally create his world of absolute darkness, one were life would cease to be, one were only him would be the one standing alone and negating all that God has ever created.

Second Scenario - Resurrection

While it’s known that Guren’s actions cannot be justified; it’s known as well that within stories, a character must take the harsh path, a path on which morality is thrown away in order to give an opportunity to humanity.

In Guren’s case, he too aims to have Mika with Yuu in order to counter the control the First Progenitor has, but why?

Guren has awareness of some things the First Progenitor has made thanks to the information Rigr revealed to him back in the World Resurrection LNs, along the experiments and research the Hyakuya Sect has made; and, within this, it’s important to take notice that Guren’s strategy is to use the plans the Hyakuya sect was aiming for, which were to carry on with Sun God Aten and the Sword of Michael with them:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 81

The main goal of Rigr and the Sect, was to bring an image or something close to the Archangel Michael to finally face the First Progenitor; but, within Guren and Mahiru’s criteria, Asuramaru and Yuu weren’t enough; and for this plan, Mikaela was required as well.

Within this, Guren does also plan to counter everything the First prepared with time,which is, using his creations against him; which is something visible with how Rigr took the first step by making Yuichiro and Mikaela autonomous beings harboring consciousness, emotions, willpower, along the possibilities of making decisions.

But now, how would the resurrection take place?

As crude as it may sound, the very reason why Yuu isn’t capable to die within the current time of the story, is due to the amount of black suns that exist within him, what does this mean?

While it’s true his seraph powers are capable of restoring his body and heal him, it is also thanks to the Black Suns which are like countles warped souls trapped within him, that he is capable of living and surviving despite how his mind slowly deteriorates.

It is to say that he’s the key for the resurrection along with Mika, which it’s something that has been stated by Guren himself:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 59

Guren stated that Yuu was the vital piece to the resurrection due to the fact that, in order to contrast the Catastrophe or reverse it, he’s possibly aiming to do the opposite of what he did which is using different tributes, but, does this mean Yuu will disappear with Mika?

The answer to this it’s highly no. But why?

This is due to the fact that, once the First Progenitor is gone, he might trigger the Resurrection, and it’s possible that within this, he might erase what cursed Yuu with something called as a “Samsara”, which is the constant cycle of life and death along the possibility of turning Mika into a human again.

It can be concluded that, despite the sides that portray Guren and Shikama as beings with hidden agendas in relation of having Yuu and Mika as their keys for their respective plans, each of them will handle their rituals that will either benefit or oliberate life itself within the story.

OnS Theories (22S). First Theory - The Third Mask

Hello everyone! Good evening or good morning! I hope everyone’s been doing well! Today we start with a new season of theories, and of course, there are secret ones that I’ve been meaning to update which of course they’ve been popping thanks to the aid of the spanish fandom!

P.S: Theories are held within a neutral view and ships are excluded!

You might wonder what does a third mask have to do with Owari no Seraph, but, before I keep going with this, I must mention that this theory in fact will have its opposite in terms of one sole topic, the theory that will touch the same topic as this one, will be titled as the Third Eye or the Eye that Sees All (Of course, this is a topic that so far has been discussed elsewhere according to my friends within the spanish fandom along friends from Tumblr)

If many have heard, within Japan, there’s something that can be labelled as a proverb.

Said proverb mentions that humans in fact have three masks or faces.

The first one is the one that we display to the world in general, it is a fine layer made for the world we face; the second one, it’s the one we show to family members and friends, which is close people that belong to our circle or what it could be denominated as a place of comfort.

But according to said proverb, the third one is one that us as human beings never show to anyone in particular, it is one that is reserved to one’s self and it truthfully shows who we are and what we are.

Link for more information:

https://www.theodysseyonline.com/mask-wearing

To be fair, the first time I’ve read about this was long ago, way before I joined the fandom, it was a picture that spoke about said proverb, and of course, thanks to the latest chapter, it came to mind

Therefore, the main question is, what does this have to do with the latest chapter?

If many might recall, the latest chapter left quite an impact with, according to what some readers in the fandom stated, a disturbing image:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

Indeed, the scene shows a human Mikaela being stared deeply with a huge eye in a space of absolute darkness, but, why is there an eye on the first place?

It is known that a battle took place way before this event happened; and of course, the demon Mikaela got awareness that Yuichiro Hyakuya once meant something to his former self, to the one that had a human heart and eventually had a change on his lifestyle until reaching the current point of his existance, but due to the same statement which is “save” to save Yu; he pried further within Yu’s heart and such action of course meant cutting Yu’s head in order to reach the depthness of his heart:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

But despite how easy it looked for the demon Mikaela to pry on the depthness of Yu’s heart, it is well known that the heart is a more delicate matter compared to other problems the body could face, what do I mean?

The human heart is complex, it isn’t filled with yes or no, but just as certain LN, the heart could be compared to a flower, said flower could have thorns, roots, leaves, a flower, or none in there reflecting the struggles said person faces against the World and the society that exists within said world, thus leading to the first thing I mentioned above, and that is precisely where the three faces/masks play their role, what do I mean?

With how the manga has gone so far, it’s very well known that Yu has displayed the first two masks in the whole story, the first mask is the one of a guy that is confident on his abilities to get out of any problem he faces, it could be said that he’s a brave character that is willing to risk everything in order to succeed.

The second mask that he has shown so far, is the one that only Guren, his friends and Asuramaru have seen, what do I mean?

Yu to certain degree has shown his weak side to them, they’ve seen him feel grief, pain, sadness, anger, frustration, among that self sacrifice pattern within him, which until late chapters, they made sure that he remembered they’re there for him as well:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 102

In Asuramaru’s case, this was before the gears the First Progenitor set into motion began, what do I mean?

That’s correct. Before Ashera remembered his past along his role as an Apostle, he did worry about Yu’s emotions to certain degree, and that can be reflected on how he supported him in chapter 90 by acknowledging he had to learn why Mika gave his life for him.

But now, the third mask is in fact reflected by such dark space, where there’s no light, where no one should enter but of course, the demon Mikaela took all the risks to enter and of course what greeted the demon Mikaela was the depthness of Yu’s heart and who he really is, which it’s very directed by Mika’s in the latest chapter.

And of course, the eye, said eye plays a role within this proverb of the three masks/faces:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

Said staring eye is in fact the very depthness or rather, the third mask that Yuichiro never shows to anyone in particular, it’s something private of him where his desires,ambitions and darkness resides; it’s a place where no one except him must know, and the very fact that Mika managed to enter, and he was displayed as a human it’s one of the things Yu’s depthness and real self believes in, which is to make him a human being.

But what does the eye itself reflect?

Correct. A world absorbed by darkness. What do I mean?

While it’s true Yuichiro shows a cheerful personality, there’s a vast amount of darkness within him, said darkness doesn’t mean he’s evil but rather, the damage within his heart is too much to the point he no longer sees a ray of hope; the way his lifestyle has carried away along the hardships he has faced, ends up leaving him to the criteria that many aspects of the events are his fault:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

Such dark thoughts reach a point on which the very bottom lies with darkness, and only is met with a gaze starting at the absolute darkness but, within this, there’s something readers have stated or wondered and that is the fact that Mika was shown as a light, but, is there a meaning to this?

Discussing with a friend, Wisely, from discord, at first I considered it as a path to display Mikaela’s walk through the path of darkness, but now after giving it some thought, it goes beyond that, what do I mean?

There’s one thing I’ve mentioned before, and, along with this, it’s the very desire Yuichiro has asides from the dark thoughts he has when it comes to see drastic situations, what could it be?

Redemption and Salvation.

Back in chapter 102 when Asuramaru asked Yuichiro why he was fixated with Mikaela, along asking his real desire, Yuichiro dismissed it by stating countless times his desire was to save Mika:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 102

The dark corner or the fear that holds binded Yuichiro is the fact that he seeks salvation, but how can I state this? Is there a proof to such statement?

In fact, there is, and it goes in the psychological point of Yuichiro’s character; and of course, as readers, you might have noticed that Yuichiro is willing to save everyone, which of course, to an average human, there would be certain limitations, but in contrast to the behavior of other characters with Yu’s; Yu doesn’t mind who, he goes aimlessly stating he’ll save them to the point of taking drastic decisions but, within this, there’s the role of seeking redemption and salvation.

Yuichiro grew up burying the words: “demon spawn”, “devil”, “monster” within his heart,such words took the shape on which he believed that was the truth despite how he managed to end up reaching the Orphanage; but, by the time he found Mikaela, he was doubtful whenever it’d be good or not to stablish a bond of friendship with him along the kids of the Orphanage; instead, he kept his distance but worrying about them since he feared something would happen to them due to his very existance.

But now, it can be said that the very moment Mikaela saved him and made him run away from the place his newfound family perished, and the fact that Yu managed to meet Mika again only made him reach that saving Mikaela would give atonement. What do I mean?

It is common to hear that people go confess their sins in order to receive redemption, forgiveness, mercy, salvation of the soul and atonement. For Yu, the fixation of Mikaela isn’t only due to the value Mika holds as his family, but also, it is a mean to seek salvation and atonement for his existance.

The very fact he never spoke about such thoughts gives an insight that such distorted way of thinking or reasoning should be kept in the dark which of course, gives a very nice insight of the three faces proverb.

Whenever the demon Mikaela finds the truth or not, will be up to the author.

What do you think dear readers?

OnS Theories (22S). Second Theory - The Eye of Horus & The Eye of Ra/The Eye of Providence and its relation with Yuichiro and Mikaela - Part I

Hello everyone! I hope everyone’s been doing well This is the second theory I’ll bring for you dear readers, and of course, in the previous one, I mentioend that thanks to a proverb, there would be a counter or rather, another answer to the chapter 104, therefore, let’s begin!

P.S: Theories are held within a neutral view and ships are excluded!

One of the things that perhaps have made the fandom question several things is the fact that at the very end of the chapter, after the demon Mikaela went off with Yu’s head in order to pry in the depthness of his heart, he found himself surrounded by darkness and an eye that stared at him:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

In the previous post, I talked about one possibility, which is of course, the third mask/face, which in fact, is a proverb from Japan. But, at the same time, there have been statements that the eye itself could mean something else which has been mentioned by many readers within the spanish fandom, @mikaisyuudere and @saltysourpatch1.

Therefore, brace yourselves because this theory will be long:

Eye of Horus

You might wonder such term or rather what could be described between an ancient amulet along the myth hidden within it could relate with OnS, thus for that, it is important to recall something rather interesting, what could it be?

Correct. Yuichiro, despite going through a constant cycle of life and death, most precisely, a “Samsara”, there’s something within him that gives some ties to such term that belongs to Egypt, and that’s precisely the given name Rigr and the Hyakuya Sect bestowed upon him, which name could it be?

Indeed. Sun God Aten.

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 81

While I have stated several or rather countless times that such name in another perspective of Religion is a solid reference to the Archangel Michael; there’s something that the eye that appeared in chapter 104 plays its role along the ties to the name of the Sun God Aten since both come from the ancient Egypt.

For that, let’s have a review of the Eye of Horus:

The eye of Horus is described as a symbol ofrestoration, rebirth, health and protection from evil in ancient Egypt.

But before it became a symbol of protection, before it even became something to be spoken with the pass of time, it is important to know how it came to be, such thing of course is referenced to the myth of Horus and the battle he had with his uncle Seth:

According to Egyptian myth, Horus lost his left eye in a struggle with Seth. The eye was magically restored by Hathor, and this restoration came to symbolize the process of making whole and healing. For this reason, the symbol was often used in amulets.

Taken from Britannica. Source: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Eye-of-Horus

If you’re interested to know about the myth: https://www.historymuseum.ca/cmc/exhibitions/civil/egypt/egcr10e.html

It is known that after such battle, peace returned between those two and of course the myth was passed down, along the creation of said amulet, but the question is, how does this relate with OnS?

If us as readers take a look at the past, there’s a part within the story on which Guren states that Yu is needed for certain plan, what do I mean?

That’s precisely correct and such plan is no less than Resurrection.

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 59

But within this, there’s quite an issue, what could it be?

According to the Myth of Horus, it is said at the end that he “revived his father Osiris and kept him alive in the afterlife” which of course might seem like a big set stone that might actually hold down the whole Resurrection plan, but in fact, there’s a possibility compared to the myth, what do I mean?

Despite knowing that OnS lore takes into a fictional possibility, aspects such as religion from ancient times and from current ones mix all together to bring forward a rather interesting story.

In this case, Yuichiro is not only a being that was just cloned at everything was set into stone, but instead, he constantly changed, his body suffered something to the point it could be something labeled close to a Chimera, what do I mean?

Indeed. Yuichiro has Seraph trait, demon possession, he wields a cursed gear, his seraph wings have been stained; furthermore he won’t simply die on a first strike and that is thanks to the countless Black Suns that exist within him:

The very fact that the demon Mikaela was capable of seeing such countless Black Suns might actually imply that Yu’s fast healing to severe injuries is thanks to them.

And it’s highly thanks to that, that Yu is a definite set stone for the Resurrection process, but now, there’s one issue within this puzzle, what could it be?

Indeed, the Eye of Horus is not the only one that played its role within ancient Egypt Myth. There was another Eye that played its role too:

Eye of Ra

Now, you might wonder something and that is, what exactly is the Eye of Ra?

According to one myth, Ra (who was at that point the actual Pharaoh of Egypt) was becoming old and weak and the people no longer respected him or his rule. They broke the laws and made jokes at his expense. He did not react well to this and decided to punish mankind by sending an aspect of his daughter, the Eye of Ra. He plucked her from the Ureas (royal serpent) on his brow, and sent her to earth in the form of a lion. She waged war on humanity slaughtering thousands until the fields were awash with human blood. When Ra saw the extent of the devestation he relented and called his daughter back to his side, fearing that she would kill everyone. However, she was in a blood lust and ignored his pleas. So he arranged for 7,000 jugs of beer and pomegranate juice (which stained the beer blood red) to be poured all over the fields around her. She gorged on the “blood” and became so drunk that she slept for three days and awoke with a terrible hangover. Thus mankind was saved from her terrible vengeance.

There are a number of different versions of the myth, and a number of goddesses are given the title “Eye of Ra”, in particular Hathor, Sekhmet, Tefnut, Bast, Mut, Nekhbet and Wadjet . The “Daughter of Ra” was sometimes symbolised as a Cat who protected Ra from the serpent Apep (linking it with the leonine aspects of Hathor, Bast, Sekhmet, Tefnut, Mut, Nekhbet and Wadjet amongst others). The Cat was also thought to be able to cure and scorpion or snake bite and was associated with the goddesses Isis (although she is only linked to the symbol in its protective function).

In short words, the Eye of Ra is meant for destruction, but among this, there’s a curious fact within the myth stated, what do I mean?

I’m very sure many readers from both, spanish and english speaking readers have considered that the demon Mikaela’s shape is the one of a cat (honestly, I’m bad with this, so don’t say I didn’t warn you readers x.x) and according to the myth, the Eye of Ra not only had a bad insight within its connotation, in fact, as the fragment taken states, the Daughter of Ra was represented as a Cat and said cat was able to cure and protect all together, which of course, would heavily imply why Mikaela was needed back when he was a vampire:

Back when Yu and Mika were reunited again and steady to leave due to Guren’s enhanced power, Noya pointed out that with Mikaela, Yuichiro and Ashera, what Guren desired could become a reality, and of course, such part or wish is to Resurrect the whole world.

Therefore, to conclude the very first part of the relation between the Eye of Horus, the Eye of Ra and the ties to Yu and Mikaela; it could be said that the gaze of said eye and the fact that, as pointed by Wisely before that Mika was surrounded by light:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

It could be said this is the encounter or the very fact that Mikaela entered in the darkness in order to find a huge eye staring at him, it could heavily imply the need of those two in order to trigger something important and that’s not figuratively, and of course, bringing forward the mythology of those two eyes, it enhances the fact why those two are the keys to bring forward:

Restoration and Resurrection

What do you think dear readers?

This is only part I. I hope you’re ready for part II.

I must say I thank deeply: @roxxy-ll, @mikaisyuudere, @saltysourpatch1 and my friend from discord Wisely for the constant encouragement and support with ideas and thoughts!

Let me know what you think dear readers!

OnS Theories (23S). Seventh Theory & Analysis - Mikaela’s memory. Denial or Embracing Remembrance (Long Theory)

Hello everyone, this is one of the last theories I’ll be updating before the new chapter is released.

This one is more inclined to be an analysis but it does have a bit to theory, therefore, let’s begin!

P.S: Theories are held within a neutral view and ships are excluded

This theory popped as a result of chapter 104, on which one panel had a rather unique display:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

Back when the fight between Yuu and Mika took place, the demon Mikaela was able to pierce through an injury he made on Yuu in order to pry on his heart and what tortured him; but of course, this became an opportunity for Yuu to open the demon Mikaela’s heart which resulted on the same nightmare both saw and lived:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

In the depthness of the demon Mikaela’s heart resides that undenying pain that was carried over his heart the very moment their family was destroyed by Ferid Bathory, but then, the next panel shows a rather different display, what do I mean?

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

Correct. The demon Mikaela does not remember the past in general but vage fragments of it float within his mind:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

Despite this, Yuichiro aims to make Mika remember, to make him reason something important and that is the fact that it’s his heart too, what do I mean?

Even if Mika is currently a demon, Mika’s heart still retains memories of what happened in the past:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

But now, after making a small review of the previous chapter, what does this suggest?

Does Mika truthfully not remember a thing about his past? Is he in a phase of denial? Or will he embrace remembrance?

Even if it has a rather simple insight at first, there are some factors that need to be taken in consideration, what does this mean?

It’s known that the demon Mikaela, before turning into one, reached the happiest dream he could ever have on his whole life, a life with no demons, no vampires, no problems, just paradise, a place where his family was, but, even despite seeing the best dream of his life, he was very well aware that it was simply that, a dream, a possibility that couldn’t exist in the real world, but despite him rejecting the idea, he was technically in the path of turning into a demon due to the desires he carried deep within his heart, which of course eventually lead to him appearing in the world:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 93

After he became a demon, he got awareness he needed to devour human desires, he was aware he needed to feed in order to preserve his physical body in order to keep existing, but, since he wasn’t able to find one in the fastest way, he went right to where he could find peace and of course that place was what his heart and soul separated from each other, what do I mean?

Back when chapter 98 arrived, I made a theory which eventually turned out to be quite a reality of a fact:

OnS Theories (17S). Twelfth Theory - Mikaela’s Samsara and Demon Mikaela (Sad Theory)

In said theory, I pointed out that his soul was living a happy life, which was directly reflected on how the human Mika and the kids of the orphanage lived happily:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 98

But of course, such dream or world of happiness of what his soul cherished was quickly crushed thanks to the black demons that were sent by Sika Madu in order to retrieve the demon Mikaela’s soul, which of course leads to that scene on which Asuramaru reawakens the memories of the human Mikaela that lived and experienced that pain his soul wanted to forget thus leading to his breakdown and of course with further events, it leads to how Yuichiro went to his rescue in order to bound him to his former weapon he used as a vampire:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 101

But now, returning to the main point of this theory, what exactly is happening with the demon Mikaela? What’s exactly going within a psychological view?

Despite how the First Progenitor labels him as his “son”, and how he is seen as a key or a tool for the First’s ambitions, there’s something that must not be forgotten, what do I mean?

Mikaela, despite being a demon, has his own autonomy

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

Even if everything is technically dancing on the First’s palm with few exceptions presented, Mikaela isn’t following what the First wishes, but how can I state this?

This is due to the very fact that Mikaela wasn’t captured by the other black demons that had the orders to capture him, leaving him as a clean canvas, I mean, he’s literally someone who has resided within a neutral standpoint between two factions, one made of humans and the other made by the First.

This only has lead him to be alone in the world, this war of factions has left him only as someone whose heart was shattered in many pieces after trying to protect what it was dear to his soul after becoming a demon, which of course this heavily touches something very common within human nature and psychological standpoint, what could it be?

Correct. Denial

Denial is commonly known as a phase a human goes through whenever such person faces something strong, such as death, murder, other kind of crimes which are heavy topics of course thus leading the person to create a self defense mechanism on which there’s rejection about something that has happened; It goes far to the the point of insisting it’s not there, but now, you might wonder how this is tied to Mika.

Is there even a proof to this?

As crazy it sounds, there is proof:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 101

As I mentioned before, in chapter 101, Asuramaru managed to finally attack Mika’s consciousness since he was able to trigger that which resided in the depths of his heart; Asuramaru literally brought back the trauma his soul aimed to keep buried forever, which of course resulted on leaving Mika broken:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 102

After Yuu found him and saw him broken, he went to save him and linked his body to the sword he used to wield, but, within this, there’s something to notice; what does that mean?

Once Yuu managed to reach the heart of the demon Mikaela on the sword he was sealed, something rather intriguing happened right away, and what could that be?

Correct. The demon Mikaela was unfazed, his attitude was that of not giving a care about anything anymore, he was broken but now that he was tied or bound to a sword, he stopped seeing that frail hope he used to have even if it was briefly:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

For the demon Mikaela, as a newborn demon, it could be said he had a certain degree of awareness that his soul seeked peace, he was aware his soul fought hard in order to persevere in the real world until it was over; which of course would explain that at first, his attitude with Yuu in chapter 103 was that of not giving a care nor aiming to understand why the human in front of him wanted to face him down when he was a demon; furthermore when Yuu mentioned he chose the place of reunion, the demon Mikaela doubted until he discarted such thoughts as unnecessary.

The very fact he states “nothing matters at all anymore” which of course leads to the fight between Yuu and Mika, but despite this, despite the odd attitude taken, is there still hope for Mika?

There is, what could it be?

Longing for Remembrance

Remembrance is defined as an action of remembering something that held meaning or value to one’s life, but, how can this concept be applied to the demon Mikaela?

That’s simple. His actions speak louder than words.

The demon Mikaela has a degree of awareness, his very heart, the one that will never forget despite the changes he has experienced, still recalls the fondness he has even if his mind does not remember; but, how is this possible?

It is said that, the body alone is able to remember experiences be it pleasant ones or traumatic ones; the mind can forget to some degree but deep down buried within, the mind still holds such information of events that happened in one’s life, which is something that could be applied to the demon Mikaela, thus leading to his resolve of aiming to save Yuu even if his decision wasn’t the wisest for forcing his way in Yuu’s heart:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

His remembrance or the longing for remembrance is what pushed his autonomous self to push forward and invade Yuu’s heart with the purpose to understand why he’s so different from other humans that would have lost the battle against him; he wants to understand what binds Yuu to his nature but also he wants to understand what Yuu is caught on and made him be such way.

His definition of saving is to find exactly the truth about Yuu on his own even if Yuu didn’t exactly allow him to. And of course, it is unknown whenever what he finds in the darkest corners of Yuu’s heart will be something pleasant to see or not but that will be left up to the author of course.

It can only be concluded that, with this constant struggle of denial and remembrance, remembrance will win with time.

And this is because despite how Mika currently is, Mika does have consciousness like Yuu; he has a will, he is an autonomous being, hence why he has taken his own decisions so far. That’s why he didn’t want to go with those serving the First and it’s precisely that flame that still persist, that flame that keeps him alive, is the sole reason as to why remembrance will eventually win.

What do you think dear readers?

OnS Theories (24S). First Theory - Illusion or Reality. The Black Suns. Resurrection vs Absolute Darkness

I must say the theory tiself is, powerful, therefore, I hope you get to enjoy it!

P.S: Theories are held within a neutral view and ships are excluded

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

But, within this, there are two characters that have been focused on getting Mikaela and Yuu together for their respective agendas. Said characters are:

Shikama Doji:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

Who heavily stated that he’s going to “save” Yu and Mikaela, which of course, such statement can be taken lightly since his goals and ambitions aren’t something that will benefit those two.

And, the other charcater who needs them is Guren Ichinose:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 86

Correct, by only one way and that is a Ritual.

You might wonder how exactly a ritual would connect to this, and ironically, there’s been a proof to this or rather a hint in the latest chapter of the story:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 105

In fact there is, such proof relies with Noya:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 85

But returning to the ritual process, how can I exactly state there’s such thing?

For this, it’s needed to remember something important, what could it be?

Correct. The Black Suns the demon Mikaela was able to see:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

Correct, the black suns started to gather or produce something like lightning:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

And within this, said lightning started to gather around one character, which of course, said character was Yuu no less:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 104

And the main question is, why did the black suns started to resonate with Yuu?

Blood is the currency of the soul. (Quote from Hellsing)

For this, let’s analyze some factors.

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

Mikaela stopped drinking blood from a human but rather from someone who was neither human, namanari, demon or seraph; leading him to absorb parts of Yuu that are tied to what builds his soul.

But now that this first part is solved, the next question comes and that is:

How exactly will the ritual take place or be made in consideration of what Guren and Shikama have in their agendas?

For this, let’s set 4 scenarios in relation of method and goal.

First Scenario - A rod made of Black Suns. Shikama’s side

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 103

Second Scenario - Resonance of the Black Suns. Guren’s side

But, despite these two small scenarios, there are other two that mustn’t be forgotten, what do I mean?

Correct. The goals of the First Progenitor and Guren.

First Scenario - Absolute Darkness. Rebellion against God.

Link of theory: OnS Theories (17S). Third Theory - Shikama’s punishment, and the reason behind the corpse (Long Theory)

Back in chapter 94, he stated he was punished with his current physical appearance along the loss of his child, which he would retaliate by making his own dark sun.

Second Scenario - Resurrection

In Guren’s case, he too aims to have Mika with Yuu in order to counter the control the First Progenitor has, but why?

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 81

But now, how would the resurrection take place?

As crude as it may sound, the very reason why Yuu isn’t capable to die within the current time of the story, is due to the amount of black suns that exist within him, what does this mean?

It is to say that he’s the key for the resurrection along with Mika, which it’s something that has been stated by Guren himself:

Image taken from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign - Chapter 59

The answer to this it’s highly no. But why?

What do you think dear readers?

Let me know!

Thank you very much dear readers!
