"that reincarnated form of yours..."

[poppystheories]

Tyki’s reaction to being slapped fascinates me. This guy gets slapped by a helpless exorcist that's fully at his mercy and he kinda likes it. It wasn’t a weak slap either! Despite the state Allen’s in, it left a mark! But Tyki just laughs it off. Settles down to chat. Lights himself a cigarette.

Let’s face it. It’s charming.

I really like the contrast between Allen’s first meeting with Road and his first meeting with Tyki. Road had no intention of killing Allen from the start, and she wasn't really there to destroy any Innocence, but she gets incredibly rough with him: nailing his arm to the wall, stabbing his eye out, making a pincushion out of him with her candles. She fully delights in the bodily harm.

Tyki’s here to kill Allen and destroy his Innocence. That’s already decided. But he doesn’t brutalize him at any point.

Because Tyki's so casual, you keep thinking: hey, Allen’s going to get out of this totally fine. Someone is going to show up and save him. Lenalee should be looking for him. We haven’t seen the others in a while, so they must be on their way. Someone is going to arrive in the nick of time to save Allen, and everything’s going to be fine. We still have to get to Japan, after all.

But no one comes.

The scene progresses. Tyki keeps talking, he shows off his power a bit, tries to play with Allen like he played with the others. Tries to make him scared, maybe beg a little. He’s fooling around with the prey he’s already caught, like a cat.

But Allen's not scared, and Tyki backs off. The actual physical torture isn't the appeal for him, so if his victim isn't scared there's no reason to get violent.

So now you're thinking, wow, this guy is gonna regret taking his time when someone finally arrives! What a classic villain fumble; failing your mission because you were too busy monologuing.

But no one comes.

Tyki pulls out the card the Earl gave him. And you find out Tyki’s been searching for Allen. Specifically.

That’s bad, but it's okay. It'll be fine. Someone is going—

You turn the page, and Tyki is ripping Allen’s arm off. No warning, no posturing. One second Allen is fine—someone is going to save him, any second now, Tyki hasn’t even hurt him yet—and the next Allen’s fucking Innocence is on the forest floor.

Tyki keeps talking, smiling. Nothing about his demeanor has changed.

He destroys Allen's Innocence. Like it's nothing.

And at this point, you start to realize, maybe no one is coming. Or if they are, it’s already too late.

Tim gets sent away. He can go get help. But, now Allen’s truly alone with the assassin sent to kill him—if anyone’s coming, it has to be now! Where is everyone?!

Right on cue, you finally get to see the other characters.

And they’re still on the fucking ship.

Then maybe Lenalee—

No. Lenalee’s also at the ship. Tyki has his hand hovering over Allen’s chest and Lenalee’s at the goddamn ship.

No one is coming, you realize. No one was ever coming.

And just like that, Tyki kills Allen. Intimately, with a smile. He wants it to be slow, but quiet. He wants Allen to feel how helpless he really is.

Tyki's a serial killer: we've seen him stage his victims before, like leaving Daisya hanging like some kind of grisly ornament. We saw the state he left the General in.

Allen, however, gets more artistic treatment; he's by the far the favorite of Tyki's victims so far, and Tyki doesn't want to disturb the pretty picture he's already made too much, but it needs a little extra flair, doesn't it? A more personal touch.

So he scatters his own gift to Allen over him: a little something to suit his white hair and black coat and red scars, and the last thing we see is the black crescent of despair. Put there quite deliberately; it is not a typical image to appear on a Joker card.

Volume 6 ends, just like that.

It really is a merciless ending. You can't believe that the protagonist will really die here, but even if he somehow survives, his Innocence has been destroyed. The entire scene is built around your expectations as a reader that the protagonist can't die, so someone will save him, or there will be some other interference.

But no. No one was ever coming to save Allen; not this time.

And that? That has consequences.

THE NOAH OF PLEASURE

[animeyanderetalker]

*at another snobby (and boring as Hell) ball of the alistocratic society*

Adam/Tyki/Sheril (really don't want to be here, especially with a visibly pregnant wife, but they really really have to):

Some idiot (or several) next to/behind them: *thinking they can't be heard, gossiping, mocking, laughing at the pregnant Darling*

Him (barely holding himself to not to kill on the spot everyone at exact moment, for now):

Honest to God, I don't think Adam would take his wife with him. In fact I don't even think he would introduce her to humans even whilst in his human form. He is incredibly paranoid and careful with his darling already and would keep her isolated somewhere only his family has access to. Especially once she is heavily pregnant though with a child he has been desperately wanting to raise with her, he would minimise all possible stress though. Especially the stress of having to put her into an uncomfortably tight dress under so many people.

Tyki would be overall more private too but his Noah side does feel like showing off occasionally. So whilst he wouldn't parade his darling around all the time, the public would still have seen her in a few public appearances where he took her with him. He would most likely take her a few times with him in the earlier stages of pregnancy and once or twice where she is beginning to show but during the later stages of her carrying his child, I also think he would just refuse to have her accompany him unless she specifically asks to be brought with him.

Sheril is the Minister of Foreign Affairs and that means lots of public appearances. As he is someone who loves to flaunt you around and proudly show you off, the amount of times you are dragged along is arguably the highest. Overall I consider him as someone who enjoys public appearances the most too though all the more if his darling is there and he can touch her as he cannot keep his hands to himself. He'd most likely enjoy it too to show her off once he has finally gotten her pregnant and she shows visibly as it only gets to show that she belongs to him now and is going to carry his offspring. That being said, the last two months before your estimated due date, he too would choose to be more guarded and want you to relax more. Then he would prefer to rather stay with you and dote on you and then he would be less willing to attend a ball as he would then not take you with him.
