OnS Chapter 131
Tumblr media
Okay, not gonna lie, I was too lazy and then stuff happened and I ended up having to read this chapter in another site cause I was too late to read it in mangaplus. (;-;)
Tumblr media
Yuu-chan and Mika are hunting bears to eat. I don't know how to feel about this at all since it feels weird to think about people eating bears but I'm just gonna ignore it.
They took down 3 bears, by the way.
Tumblr media
While the two are getting ready to cook, they reminisce on the past on the last day Mika was human. Specifically, the day of their failed escape from Sanguinem. Mika wasn't at dinner time with them, if you guys remember, as he was at Ferid's gathering items and so they ate without him.
Tumblr media
Yuu-chan tells him the kids wished that Mika was there to enjoy the food with them and Mika teases him that of course the others wouldn't enjoy it as much without the main character lol.
Mika is surprisingly being optimistic now, as Yuu-chan have noticed. He says once they bring the kids back to life and he's back to being human they can all eat curry together again.
Yuu-chan asks for help in butchering the meat and Mika declines as he has some strategizing to do haha.
Tumblr media
The two talk over dinner about what they know. Their plan is to get all the sinful keys and bring back to life angel Mikaela. Guren and Ferid have the same plans but instead, Guren just wants to just bring everyone else back except Mikaela.
Tumblr media
lol I needed to save this screenshot here. They're wondering what Ferid's plan is and Yuu-chan says nobody knows what goes on in Ferid's head and it might be something really weird. XD
Tumblr media
They also discuss the reality of the situation that the Mikaela that Guren wants to keep dead is actually Yuu-chan cause he and homonculus Yuu just switched places before. It means if Guren wins, Yuu-chan might have to die.
Tumblr media
With those information in mind, things have changed. Mika is no lon ger hesitant about what he should do and no longer thinking of sacrificing himself since the one the others need to sacrifice is actually Yuu-chan. Mika says he doesn't really care about anything else except protecting Yuu-chan so it's all good.
Tumblr media
Mika has become the happy, not-giving-up guy now between the two of them and the one who has to reassure Yuu-chan that he'd be protecting him. Previously, this was Yuu-chan's attitude in convincing Mika back when they didn't know the truth. Mika is acting more like himself when he was a kid.
Tumblr media
Mika was surprised Yuu-chan didn't offer to sacrifice himself and Yuu-chan replies that he's still confused about which of them is which. They also noticed that angel Mikaela was smart back then but Yuu-chan is-
Yuu-chan cuts of Mika and says he's smarter now. Mika sacrcastically agreed lol. Come on, we all know he lost braincells when he locked away his memories as angel Mikaela but to be fair, he was in a hurry at the time and probably didn't have enough time to keep some important stuff.
Tumblr media
The confusion keeps going and so are these two's identity crisis. Who is who and which one dies when they finally get their goal? Is Yuu-chan gonna keep being himself once he's back to being angel Mikaela? Yuu-chan doesn't mind but Mika doesn't want to lose his Yuu-chan. And Yuu-chan wouldn't want Mika to disappear either if it's the other way around.
Tumblr media
The First Progenitor's goal is to bring all of the angels back. Guren's goal is to bring all of humanity back. Angel Mikaela's goal was to save the First Progenitor which means they have to help the guy with his goal as well. And it would all end with someone getting punished by God.
Yuu-chan's new goal: not let that happen. Yes, like an rpg protagonist, he'd be opposing God now.
Tumblr media
Of course, Mika has to get the reassurance that Yuu-chan is counting himself in the people he's planning to save. Yuu-chan says he's not going to sacrifice himself and he knows Mika could find a way to make things work out.
It'd be very hypocritical of Yuu-chan if he decides to die for everyone's sake when several chapter ago, he's the one trying to convince Mika to not do that exact thing.
Anyways, the two of them make a promise to each other that no matter what happens, neither of them would sacrifice themselves for everyone else. At least, Yuu-chan is making it sound like that. He's letting Mika do all the talking and when it comes to his part in making the promise, he changes subjects and Mika doesn't notice...
Tumblr media
Yuu-chan asks if Mika could come up with a plan since all of their enemies are pretty smart: there's Guren, Mahiru, Shika Madu, Saito and Ferid (I'm surprised they knew exactly which other people are leading their own little operation). Mika says it's fine since they have someone smart on their side, too! And Yuu-chan says that would be him lol.
Since angel Mika gave his memories to homonculus Yuu to keep up the ruse, he probably also gave away his braincells. Yuu-chan should just accept that Mika has them now lol.
Tumblr media
They know that right now, they're the only two who knows of the switch. They need to sacrifice angel Mikaela and none of them knows that Yuu-chan is the real one. Mika and Yuu-chan have to use this to their advantage.
Tumblr media
What would the first part of their plan be, you ask? Going to the Demon Army HQ to talk to Saito, it seems.
______
Holy shit what the fuck is happening in the end there? Are they collaborating? Yuu-chan and Mika's goal have a bit more in common with Saito's and the Progenitor team so this kinda makes sense? They plan to save humanity, kill all vampires (the progenitors just want to die right now after all), and not let Shika Madu do exactly as he pleases.
I am excited to see where this would be going. Mika and Yuu-chan don't plan on letting anyone know the truth after all.
Aaaah!! Mika's acting like his happy and mischevious kid self again. His depression seem to have left since he found out that he's not the real angel Mikaela and therefore not the reason all of this shit is happening. Yuu-chan on the other hand doesn't smile as much anymore. Kind of sad this is how things are going as I want both of them to be happy. I'm glad they still have their silly moments and stupid banter though. They're so cute!
Knowing the switch doesn't confuse me but these two and their discussion made things seem so complicated. I'm now feeling half as confused as I was when I watched Patema Inverted and couldn't tell which is up and down anymore hahaha.
Yuu-chan's goal was to bring back everyone who died and then he adds bringing Mika back to life as a human, and then saving everyone, and now he's fighting God. It's escalating! It sounds so ridiculous but this is how it be. Yuu-chan is not Yuu-chan if he doesn't aim for a miracle.
Angel Mika's switch with Homonculus Yuu makes Yuu-chan and Mika's personalities feel trippy. The happy and smart angel Mika locked his memories away and sort of gave a copy of them to homonculus Yuu so they could properly act out their new roles. Purposely reincarnated to who they are now, Mika as a child was happy and smart and you really would think he's the real angel. The failed escape happens and Mika as a vampire is just quietly observing things and just wants to be with Yuu - just like how his past self as a homunculus was. Now that the truth is known, he's back to having the persoanlity of hius younger self which is a sort of copy of the real angel Mika's personality.
Putting all that in text made me understand why those two are confused.
Excited for the next chapter! I'm so glad there's another site I could read these on and they have the chapters I could backread as well! I'm still gonna read the new chapters in mangaplus to support the original creators and official release but at least I don't have to worry about missing anything just in case something happens and I miss a month.

OnS Chapter 130
Tumblr media
Aaaaaaaah!!!! The lore thickens!
I am just dreading to make this since tumblr's post editor updated to being a pain the ass to use lol. I can't just not blog about reading OnS chapters cause it's the only way I can "re-read" them when they become unavailable. Why have the scanlators stopped working on this, I'd never know but I'm sad they don't seem to be around anymore for this manga (I mean I'd still read stuff on mangaplus but if I want to backread at least I'd have a way...).
Tumblr media
While Yuu-chan and Mika are having a chat and probably some potential existensial crisis, Rigr seem to be checking out the 1st Progenitor's memories.
Tumblr media
Would you look at that? He got there at the exact point in the memory world that Yuu-chan and Mika last watched! How convenient lol.
Rigr now knows about Shika Madu's past.
Tumblr media
The reincarnated angels don't remember their past lives but it seems Shika Madu is okay with them living unaware of it. After all, tragic backstories and all.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rigr now knowing the truth, it seems he now cares about the 1st Progenitor. Shika Madu might be an asshole but he still cares about his angel subjects even after all this time. He knows it would be difficult and he might not be able to succeed but he's not going to give up hope.
It makes me wonder more what his plan is in the present since he seems to be fucking over those he says he cares about.
Anyways, Rigr ends up crying even if he doesn't have his past life memories which made him wonder if those memories still lie within him somewhere.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm not gonna lie, I have no idea what to call him now that it's revealed he's the real Mika. Anyways, he was finally noticed by Shika Madu which is bad cause he has a plan.
Tumblr media
Angel Mika is alive now and he needs to make his father think he's still dead so he asks homonculus!Yuu to take his place. He'd even forget his real identity to make things more convincing.
"No matter how many eons it takes... no matter how many generations we go through... in the end, we'll save everybody!" declared human Yuu whose actually the real angel Mika (this is gonna be confusing lol. I'm calling him Past!Yuu). It didn't matter how long it took and what the circumstances have become, Yuu-chan has always wanted to save everyone no matter when and it's always been his goal.
(I wish I could take the screenshot of when he said this but it's hard to crop with the length)
Homonculus!Yuu seems hesitant at first but he happily agreed with Past!Yuu's plan and he's now the new Mika.
Tumblr media
New!Mika (yes, I'm not calling him that) is given his first task for his newest role. I'm guessing the "seven lights" are the black keys? Maybe? Anyways, he basically made it so that his father would do a bunch of detours before getting to his goal lol.
Tumblr media
Past!Yuu erased (although more like locked away) his memories of being Angel Mika. He promises New!Mika that no matter what, he'd come back and collect him and New!Mika happily promises back.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Beams of light shoot out from New!Mika and Shika Madu catches one of them. On his hand he finds one of the black keys (I was right earlier! lol). He thinks homonculus!Yuu might've done something but basically thinks "Nah, I made him and he can't think for himself." so he turns his attention to Past!Yuu.
Tumblr media
Past!Yuu acts like he knows nothing (either he's acting or the memory lock worked too well) and Shika Madu doesn't buy it and checks his memories which kills Past!Yuu in the process. Shika Madu confirms that Past!Yuu totally knows noting (lol if only you knew).
Shika Madu laments the fragility of the humans he created as he estimated that they might not even live to be a hundred.
Tumblr media
Shika Madu doesn't realize that close by, Past!Yuu aka the real Angel Mika had been reborn again.
Tumblr media
Aww!! A proper reunion between Mika and Yuu! Yuu-chan had fullfilled his promise! They still don't actually have their past life memories but they're okay with it as they think it'd have been bad if they actually did all this time. After all, it took this long to get this far in their plans and they went through so much that if they remembered everything, it'd have made them suffer more and give up.
They're reminded of the vampires who hated being immortal cause it caused them suffering.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These two are now having a discussion on the meaning of (their) life. They wonder why they should keep going and why Yuu-chan should make Mika human again. Mika answers that he wants to live and die with Yuu-chan (aww... that's so sweet!). Yuu-chan asks if that'd really make Mika happy and Mika says he thinks so.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mika is slowly but surely turning into a full demon and Yuu-chan says he won't let it happen. Yuu-chan concludes that they don't clearly remember their past lives and they'd continue living this life and would try to reach their present lives goal: save everyone (especially the dead Hyakuya orphans and Guren and their friends) and turn Mika back to human.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hope restored! Yuu-chan likens their current situation to a video game and thinks that they have a chance now that they know the lore. Mika agrees!
Their current goal? Get the seven keys!
Tumblr media
Oh!! Flashback to eight years ago!
Ferid is wondering why the First Progenitor wants to make a "Mikaela" and what even is a "Mikaela" in the first place. He says he wasn't compatible to become this Mikaela and the First Progenitor himself cannot be whatever it was.
Tumblr media
He also got his hands on little Yuu-chan and Mika (they were drugged and were sound asleep) to check their memories. Someone else is there with Ferid however...
Tumblr media
Ferid asked Guren if Guren had checked the kids' memories and he hasn't yet.
Oh... what does this mean?!
--
That last panel though. Guren looked weird lol. Had their chins always been this round/big? I mean I knew the illustrator's artstyle had changed over the years as this manga had been running for a long time now but this is the first time I really notice. I don't like it lol. Makes them look weird and old. I might not like Guren that much but I have to admit he's handsome and this? Not at all lol.
Okay! We got the lore!! I'm happy and excited and this feels like the most hilarious development I've seen in this story in a while. Angel Mika is smart and immediately have some kind of starting plan for his goal. Sadly, it seems turning himself into Yuu-chan also lowered his braincells lol jk. It seems no one else in this metaphorical chess game realized that someone they wanted to take as pawn is also playing the game.
Guren and Shika Madu totally fucked up their plans all because they were targetting the wrong kid! Especially Guren who had been with Yuu-chan longer in this current life cause his actions in the last couple of chapters made Yuu-chan reject helping him. I think if Yuu-chan had gotten back his memories of being Angel Mika and if Guren knew about this fact, Guren probably would've had a better chance of convincing Yuu-chan to sacrifice himself since Yuu-chan's goal in life (both the past and present) was to save everyone including Mika.
Oh, ther irony! XD
This isn't a perfect story, I admit. I don't think this turn of events had been hinted before (if it had been, then it's my fault I missed all the clues) but I don't care. I'm still having a lot of fun reading.
Mika telling Yuu-chan once again that he'd just want them to live together until the end made me sooo happy! Ah, it's times like these I'm happy to be a MikaYuu fan haha. I remember that in the PSP game, they did mention this also with Mika and Yuu wanting to live and raise kids together. (>///<)
I'm curious now about what Shika Madu is actually feeling about all this in the present. He did care a lot about everyone back then but now it doesn't seem to be the case and he's willing to sacrifice the other vampires just to get his son back. But then again knowing that he could just have them reincarnated, maybe he's okay with sacrificing the current them cause he can just make new bodies for the vampires.
Also wondering why Shika Madu kept remaking the Yuu from Ancient Greece. Did he realize there's something special about this new human? Did he realize that in a way, this was the human form of the homonculus eyeball (actually Angel Mika)? Or did he just think of making a human version of homonculus Yuu cause it'd be easier to experiment on something like him which he could just remake? I wonder if it's the reason why Yuu from Ancient Greece didn't have emotions while the new humans created in the past had personalities or seemingly could have one even before getting possessed by angels?
Also, Shika Madu's tragic backstory is enough to make Rigr sympathize or at least care about him though. I wonder how this would affect things as Rigr hated the First Progenitor and was willing to oppose him. How about now?
That ending there though. What did Ferid mean by "Have you looked into their memories?" when talking to Guren? Vampires have now been revealed to be able to read memories - Rigr and Shika Madu did so earlier and Ferid says he would at the end although I think I should've seen this coming since vampires turn into demons and demons have that ability. Does the question mean Guren also have that power? How?? Or is it Mahiru-no-Yo's power their talking about since she's now Guren's demon? Hmmm..... but then again, didn't they mention a connection between the Ichinose clan and Rigr?
Oh my god, so many questions! XD
I'm so glad I didn't end up taking too many photos cause tumblr had a photo limit for posts and I didn't hit that. Excited for the next chapter! Hope it's as fun as this one.
If I don't get to post anything in the next few days, here's a Happy Holidays to you! I hope you have fun and thanks for reading. :)

OnS Chapter 129
Tumblr media
Tumblr making it hard to make a post also made me too lazy to make this. But I want and need to make this cause this is the only way I could do a "read back" of sorts for chapters no longer accessible in mangaplus. Ugh tumblr wtf stop with the stupid updates!
Anyways, title of this chapter is "The First Vampire". More lore stuff!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The others have now realized that their king might have done a very bad thing.
Shika Madu utters an apology to everyone as large, powerful bolts of light destroy the tower.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
An angel appears to tell Shika Madu of God's disappointment at what has been done. Shika Madu pleads and ask he be the only one to suffer as the other had nothing to do with the ritual he was trying to do but the angel said Earth is also done for and with a snap of his fingers, what appears to be balls of fire started raining down.
Tumblr media
Amon gets saved by another angel while someone else tells him to go to where their king is. Even after everything, they still see Shika Madu's safety as their top priority. Everyone else around Amon is dying from the rain of fire as he runs of to get to their king.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shika Madu is angry at what's happening but he is told he could only blame himself for this. He still pleads for everyone else to be spared but it doesn't work as he's told that even their souls would be left to suffer in hell.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh, and one last cruel thing the angel does is leave Amon alive just to kill him in front of Shika Madu to show the latter how much he fucked up. When everyone else had finally been killed, the angel tells the others to focus their lightning solely on Shika Madu.
Tumblr media
After everything he'd been through and while he's still being burned in lightning, Shika Madu asked to just be killed. Unfortunately, he's informed that he's now basically immortal so he could suffer alone for eternity.
Tumblr media
With their jobs finished, the others leave for Paradise. Shika Madu has a message to be passed on to God but he's denied and told that as a sinner, his words would never reach God's ears.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And so Shika Madu was left to burn... and burn.
There's like two timeskips: one says a millenia has passed and another just said "more time...". Shika Madu thinks it's been tens of thousands of years. In the end he's just... sitting there burning until he finally accepted what he's done to deserve all this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Something happened and he started to feel better and even used his power to shieled himself from the sunlight.
Tumblr media
And homonculus Yuu is alive! He saw everything (he didn't show up until now though, wtf?). Shika Madu still plans on bringing everyone back from the dead but he now has no tower to collect the light he needed and even if he did, he's an undead now so he can't use the power of light anymore.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Homonculus Yuu also still has angel Mikaela in a coffin and it's revealed Shika Madu had some kind of backup plan: all the power he needed? Mikaela has them in the form of keys (the ones Ferid was collecting in the present time) but in order to use them, Mikaela has to be revived first.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He then decided to play God since it's the only way to collect the darkness he needed (like how God has the angels to collect light). Using homonculus Yuu, he created a human as he can't make angels.
I guess this would be the first "Yuu-chan"?
Tumblr media
Mika and Yuu are here! I guess they weren't there the entire time (That'd have been boring to watch just one guy burn for a millenia). They're confused as well if the homonculus Yuu is Yuu-chan's first incarnation or if it's the newly created human.
Tumblr media
Another one popped out and this one looks like a Mika except it's a girl it seems.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then more were created.
Shika Madu uses his power so that the souls of the dead angels would occupy the new humans as he'd need them to collect darkness.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The new human Yuu sees angel Mikaela's coffin looks inside. He then starts to answer as if he's talking to someone. Mika and Yuu sees this and realized something but looking back, it seems Shika Madu himself hasn't noticed yet.
The new Yuu finds out that his new friend is dead and can't play with him.
Tumblr media
Mika and Yuu are confused as to how the other two could converse. Mika thinks that since this is part of Yuu's memories, Yuu should know what the other two are talking about. Yuu is having trouble though and the newborn Yuu says something... unexpected.
Tumblr media
It seems angel Mikaela told him to let himself get possessed or something and the newborn Yuu says yes without hesitation.
Tumblr media
Once past Yuu gets possessed, current Yuu finally remembers: he's Mikaela.
--
Tumblr's new post editor is making things so difficult. I have trouble rearranging the images and coupled with a faulty mouse, I was about to lose my patience lol.
Okay, I felt bad for Shika Madu, not gonna lie. He did care a lot for his subjects and would've wanted to get punished on his own but of course, he's the king so everyone under him would get in trouble, too. That last one was also cruel with the other angel letting Amon get close enough for Shika Madu to watch him die.
Was the dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures die in that rain of fire? Is this how the lore of our planet went in this universe? lol
So he gets punished by being left an immortal who burns in the sun. It seems he's been continuously burning for years, too (I found the timeskip funny, I'm sorry. Also, did it never become nighttime at all where he is?). He finds a way to finally become immune for a bit (like a magic sunscreen) and so he's become a "vampire" in a way (no word on if he nees blood yet here).
He ends up creating humans as he's not permitted to create angels like God does. At first I thought this might mean he's the "God" of this world's humans but he knows what humans are before he made some so there are probably humans who already existed at this point and he just mass produced more for his own need.
There's multiple Yuus now. It'd be confusing if the next couple of chapters would still show the past so if it ever happens, I'm gonna have to use nicknames for them to differentiate. Also, I love how Mika and Yuu-chan (I'm just gonna call our Yuu this as it's his nickname anyways) seem to just accept how weird things are getting in their commentaries. I love their interactions.
Speaking of the new humans, they all seem to have their own personalities (or they were about to have them) but then Shika Madu had the souls of his dead angels occupy them and suddenly there's a change as shown when human Yuu (the new one) reacted when a soul entered his body.
Okay, so there were lots of angels in the angel city but there can't have been a really huge amount of them so I'm guessing the amount of new humans made also had a limit and was just enough to house each angel soul. Angel Mika seem to have his own stuck in his dead body since human Yuu got to "talk" to him. They already have a connection but since human Yuu talked to him after getting possessed by an angel already, is this connection with human Yuu himself or was it with the angel possessor and if it's the latter, which angel was it?
We can only see half of the convo since we could only see human Yuu's side but it feels like angel Mika isn't as hesitant to use others if needed. I mean he's asking for human Yuu's body to use when I think current Mika wouldn't want to do that to anyone. But human Yuu immediately agrees and so angel Mika does it (which means either there're now two angel souls in human Yuu or angel Mika's soul kicked out the previous one).
And finally, they're starting to explain the "Mikaela" thing. The new humans are capable of being possessed by angel Mika probably cause Shika Madu and homonculus Yuu made them. He wasn't paying attention so there's a chance Shika Madu didn't even know that at this point yet. The human Yuu is the first one to try and was the only one who could right now since unline the other new humans, he was the only one who could "hear" angel Mika. Anyways, I'm guessing that's why this memory seem to be a shared one between Yuu-chan and Mika's because it, in a way, is.
Theory that the souls of Shika Madu's precious subordinates are also compatible with new humans who are their look-alikes but it's not a prefect reincarnation where they are themselves from the past which is probably why Shika Madu doesn't care much for them.
That said, another Shika Madu-Guren parallel: they both want to do the ritual correctly in order to bring back their people: the angels for Shika Madu and the humans for Guren. It's probably why letting Mika live and having the keys would probably help revive the angels for Shika Madu while killing Mika and having the keys would let Guren revive the humans.
Well, that was long. I better read the next chapters before I get too lazy to make another post and the chapters get wiped by mangaplus.

OnS Chapter 128
Tumblr media
My mouse needing replacement I still haven't gotten (I still don't have the money for it at the moment) makes taking screenshots difficult and then tumblr making an annoying "twitter-fied" update made me lose motivation to read this chapter cause I like blogging what I read especially this series. I love this series too much to not yell it out in the void that is tumblr lol.
I used some extensions recommended by other users so that the tumblr layout would be the same as before so I'm sort of okay but I'm still sad the post boxes are a bit thinner than they used to be. I'm struggling a bit with the mouse but it's fine. So yeah, this is late lol
Tumblr media
The aftermath of last chapter's tragic events.
Bael comes into the room and sees Paimon dead and angel Mikaela's corpse being cradled by the king. Bael wonders if Paimon killed himself because if he did, that is considered a sin by God which meant Paimon's soul probably would get punished (not sure if it's going to hell or anything cause Shika Madu cut him off before he could finish the sentence).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bael tried to be supportive and tells Shika Madu this event is just another trial and things could still go well but Shika Madu is having none of it.
Shika Madu just feels tired, helpless, and terrible and he doesn't want to accept the current situation. Their goal has always been to go back to Paradise where God is but Shika Madu is now questioning that goal as the road to it is filled with nothing but pain.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And he just had to find out at that moment that even Bael is sick. bael apologizes cause he knows he won't be around for long enough to help his king.
Bael still tries to be encouraging and tells his king to keep moving forward to Paradise, even if he'd end up going alone. Shika Madu is frustrated at the unfairness of it all.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Bael tells him he'd be staying behind with Paimon. He also explains that unlike Paimon, he had no expectations. He's not doing all this because he wants the King to fulfil some kind of goal nor did he want to go to Pradise and see God. When Shika Madu asked what Bael wanted, Bael looks at the dead Paimon and answers that whatever it was, he'd no longer be able to get it now. So now all Bael could do is whatever would be asked of him and if Shika Madu wants to start a resistance, he'd be of help if told to.
Bael then takes Paimon's corpse with him and leaves Shika Madu with angel Mikaela's corpse. Now alone (well, technically he can't see Yuu-chan and Mika there), he is left to conteplate on what he should do next and all he knows is that he's at a loss.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Next we see of Shika Madu, he's at a graveyard. Bael had also killed himself so he would be with Paimon in death. Even their graves are shown to be right next to one another's which is pretty sweet considering how close they were.
Tumblr media
Their long time goal has finally been met but Shika Madu wonders what the point is now that they've lost so many people in the way. After asking that question, Amon looks to his side and we are shown Belial's grave.
Astaroth answers that there's a reason: to be the first to get to Paradise for the sake of everyone that have passed away. Shika Madu agrees and tells everyone to get ready and tell the others that they'd finally leave the next day.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shika Madu researches and we get a bit of explanation: the light they've been collecting all this time is power that God had created and it's what they needed to return home. It could also make miracles happen but the angels can't use it this way and if they did anything taboo, they get punished and the worst sins all involve life and death.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But he found some kind of loophole via doing experiments - one of which is how angel Mikaela was created.
He places angel Mikaela in a coffin and asks God if this was his punishment.
Tumblr media
God gave him no answer so he just thought of one on his own: commit more taboos using the light they were able to collect. He'd first resurrect angel Mikaela then everyone else as he refused to leave anyone behind.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Homonculus Yuu is okay! And he's got his orders to convert all the light they collected within Babel into darkness. As homonculus Yuu does his job, Shika Madu waits for anything at all to happen whether he be punished or something stops them but nothing does.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then they appear. It also seems they might have destroyed homonculus Yuu.
--
Okay... I guess we're finally getting to the scene where Shika Madu gets punished and the appearance of the seraphs. I feel bad for him cause yeah, what happened isn't fair. He and the rest have succeeded in getting the power they needed for their goal but they lost so many important people along the way.
Um... can't really tell me not to ship Bael/Paimon after this chapter lol. I wonder what it was that Bael wanted had Paimon not died? Bael is pretty contradictory in a way, I think as he's telling Shika Madu he'd support whatever the latter wants to do while trying to convince him to go through with going to paradise as it was what they (especially Paimon) would've wanted) but then dying after. Bael's death though helped in making Shika Madu find his own choice more acceptable though as Bael's death just added to the pile of people Shika Madu lost.
Shika Madu has proven he cares about his comrades and the rest of his subjects as he's willing to push the limit of what he's allowed to do but he doesn't seem to feel the same way about their current incarnations. My guess back then and even now is that they probably aren't completely the same as what they're used to be and so he doesn't consider them the same person. It's the same with his son Mikaela. If just reviving Mikaela was the goal then he'd have already succeeded as Mika is alive (well, he's currently a demon but still). But he still wants to revive the real angel Mikaela - the one with the memories and the person he spent his time with as family. It's not perfect unless they're the exact same people he's lost.
One of the themes of this entire series from the start is "family". Yuu had to learn and accept he had one in the Hyakuya orphans after his traumatic experience with his real parents and later he had to learn to accept the rest of the Shinoa squad as his new family after he lost the other orphans. Guren also lost his friends who were as important as family to him. Ashera wanted to get reunited with his sister and later, said sister wants to see him again when they got separated. Now they reveal Shika Madu losing what's basically his entire family is what started all this.
This manga felt like a roller coaster and so many things happened and not gonna lie, I'm still not sure the author knows exactly where all this is going but he seems adamant that this story will be about family. I think that's amazing lol.
I have already started reading the chapter after this one but I'd make a post maybe tomorrow hehe. I wish I could do a 2-in-1 but these chapters needed a bunch of screenshots taken. So much lore...

I know the One Piece ad bothered a lot of people and I'm not a fan of the show either (I've watched a couple of episodes when my brothers were watching) but I'm gonna miss the dashboard background they gave whenever I clicked the ad (it was live action Buggy before but turned into the skull icon the day after).
I wish we could get nice backgrounds like this even when it's not an ad for something but tumblr would probably have that as a paid feature :p

East Asian fanartists are starting to migrate back to Tumblr because Twitter is insane, toxic, and dying, and what we're NOT going to do is let the fucking exclusionists get them, do you hear me? We are not going to let a bunch of feral idiots try to apply the most myopic version of puritanism to foreign artists we're not we're not we're not. Form an armed brigade if you have to, do you hear me. We're not going to bully the artists who may or may not even speak English because we have our precious standards of moral purity. If we see art that makes us uncomfy we're going to block the artist and tumblr savior their name so we don't have to see them again AND WE'RE GONNA MOVE THE FUCK ON.

Tales of the Abyss 2012 fanarts
Tumblr media
I’ve never posted my really old art here of Tales of the Abyss. These aren’t that good but I had fun making them years ago for a contest (that I didn’t win except for the consolation raffle). I thought I’d share them here since I haven’t really posted anything Abyss-related here that I’ve made (except for meta stuff).
Tumblr media
According to the description I wrote on my DA post of this, this was made at 1am! XD
This was inspired by the thought of “If Luke was Asch’s little brother”:
Luke: Big brother!! Asch: Huh? What do you want-- *Luke hugs Asch* Luke: You seemed lonely and mom said you just needed a hug. Asch: Oh... Luke: Are you okay now? Asch: ... Yeah. :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I just want to see them hanging out and being happy because the canon story just put them through hell lol

I just realized I never got to post this here. This was from way back in 2016 - my brother has a project for school where he has to make a poster and I knew how to draw so lol
I drew Ib, Mary, and Garry! I took this photo with a camera and not scanned.
Throwing in some 2013 art below while I'm at it:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Drawn on notebook paper! With ballpen and color pencils so you can see the guidelines lol. These were the first time I drew these characters. I got a bit better later as shown below.
Tumblr media
I titled this "The Four Heroines" in DA. Aki from Misao would've been here if I hadn't played it in the middle of finishing this drawing. I also didn't add Satoshi from Corpse Party cause he's a guy.
I actually had a WIP of more rpgmaker protags that I was never able to finish. It was supposed to have tons of characters, too. Maybe someday I'd finish it. Maybe.

OnS Chapter 127
Tumblr media
We got Angel Mika and Homonculus Yuu on the cover this time! (and Shika Madu is there, too, I guess).
Yay!! Finally a new chapter! I didn’t know when this would come out so it slipped my mind that it might’ve already been posted :P
Lots of screenshots again, by the way.
Tumblr media
Yuu went back out to the present again to eat and seems to have returned to the past to something interesting.
Tumblr media
Angel Mika is telling Homonculus Yuu about his outing with his father and invites the little guy with him. Homonculus Yuu seem to be troubled though.
Mika and Yuu heard someone coming towards the room and Angel Mika thought it might be his dad. Unfortunately, it wasn’t.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Paimon, while coughing out blood due to his sickness, enters and immediately tried to kill Angel Mika. Homonculus Yuu tried protecting him but just got blasted away by Paimon.
Tumblr media
Angel Mika was able to stop Paimon by homding onto the latter’s arm. He seem to have also been able to send out something that Paimon wasn’t fast enough to stop.
Tumblr media
Whatever it was Angel Mika sent out, it started an attack that causes an explosion. Bael sees this from the outside and knew Paimon was involved.
Mika and Yuu are impressed by Angel Mika’s ability. Angel Mika fighting back wouldn’t stop Paimon from going through with his plans though and just thinks it meant he has to use more of his power. Angel Mika is confused and is asking why Paimon is doing all this.
Tumblr media
Angel Mika seemed to have realized what Paimon was about to do and sends out the same attack. Paimon wonders how someone like Angel Mika could be this powerful but also knew that this much power meant that God would definitely notice Angel Mika’s existence so he must be killed now.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Angel Mika’s words was able to stop Paimon for a bit but the latter still doesn’t answer his questions. Paimon warns that the next attack would kill Angel Mika and Angel Mika responds that he hasn’t given it his all yet and that he’s just holding back. Angel Mika asks again why Paimon would even try killing him when even Paimon knew what kind of power Angel Mika holds.
Angel Mika guesses that Paimon’s next attack would be a suicidal one and says he’d survive while Paimon would not. Paimon says it doesn’t matter if he dies so long as he could kill the boy. Paimon’s sickness is catching up to him though and he started coughing up more blood.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I had to take a screenshot for this entire convo because Paimon finally answers Angel Mika’s questions. In short, Angel Mika’s existence is a taboo and so is their King’s plans to try to cure them from their sickness. Shika Madu also plans to take the punishment by himself in order to protect Angel Mika.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Paimon says he won’t let it end that way though as he would protect the King. Angel Mika yells out that he’s scared and doesn’t want to die and so he uses the same power Paimon is going to use against him.
Tumblr media
The clash created another huge blast. It seems to have taken off the top part of the tower.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Angel Mika apologizes to the injured Paimon and wanted to call his father for help. Paimon stops him and says Angel Mika wasn’t at fault for this as Paimon was the one who made this decision knowing it could end up this way. He tells Angel Mika about how bad his sickness has gotten - the black wings show that it was bad enough that he would probably die - while saying he knew that the King would’ve tried to save him from it which would’ve given the King trouble.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Angel Mika asks what he should do then. Paimon then asked how he should show his King he loves him and then asked Angel Mika if he loved his dad. Angel Mika says “Yes!” and Paimon says they’re the same.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Paimon falls, utters his last words and dies happily.
Angel Mika is upset and wonders why things ended up this way. He then sees Paimon’s knife and upon coughing out blood himself, wonders if the things Paimon said were true. What if his existence does give his father grief?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He thinks about it, picks up the knife, and prepared to end his life.
Angel Mika might be scared of dying but he’d do it because just like Paimon, he loves his father as well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shika Madu returns to find both Angel Mikaela and Paimon dead.
---
First of all, Kagami-sensei, fuck you for making me actually feel bad for Shika Madu lol. Imagine losing two people you care about at once.
Okay, so new chapter! I had to include so many screenshots since all of these convos and dialogues are so good! I remember several chapter ago when I didn’t have a lot of screenshots to take since nothing much happened but now there’s so many haha.
Question that I hope gets answered cause I’m still confused: why does Homonculus Yuu always act like that? Like he’s hesitant to bond with Angel Mika as if something is wrong? I also wonder if he died this chapter after being blasted...
That Paimon and Angel Mika fight was pretty fun. Angel Mika could definitely hold his own and it seems I have the wrong impression of him. I thought he didn’t know much due to how innocent he acted. Like, I thought Shika Madu never told him anything but it seems he knew more than that and knew what power he has. He’s still nice and tried many times to end the fight as he didn’t want to fight or even hurt Paimon if he had to.
Paimon lost the battle but he knew by asking that question that he still won. Angel Mika cares about the King as much as Paimon does so Paimon probably knew what Angel Mika would do in the end.
Angel Mika is still kind when despite the fact that Paimon had been trying to kill him, he still apologized for fighting back and still wanted to save Paimon’s life.
Mika’s past life as an angel and his current life now are different but he’s still the same as he’d rather die than let someone he cares about suffer. Angel Mika chose to die than let his father get punished and the current Mika was willing to die so that everyone else (especially Yuu) could live happily.
The irony that Saito hates and wants Shika Madu dead while in his past life as Paimon he was the most loyal of Shika Madu’s followers. I’m excited to know the reason why things got this way. Surely since Shika Madu cared for his followers in the past, he would have wanted Paimon and the others back as much as he wants his son back, right? I already made a guess last time that he probably gave up on getting them back and is now solely focused on his son’s return but still, a flashback showing that would be nice.
Shika Madu is like, the most powerful and the biggest antagonist in the series so it’s cool that he has a backstory that shows there’s more to him than what he had been shown as.
Not gonna lie, I’m still worried that Guren and the others would find Yuu in the present time. Yuu and Mika are sort of like sitting ducks right now especially when they’re in the past. Yuu himself get weak quickly due to the memory travel and needs to constantly eat so them getting into a fight on an empty stomach could make things troublesome.
I didn’t see any date to when the next chapter would come out but hopefully it’s next month. I never really know when a break will happen so I’m just gonna have to wait.

Thank you for the translation!
I have a copy of the fanbook but since I can’t read much Japanese, I don’t know exactly what they’re saying (like I understand the gist from what I can read) but it’s funnier to know exactly what they’re saying like Mika asking for in-game money and understanding Shinoa’s letter.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay, so here is the translated version of the “manga extra story” from the ONS Fanbook 108.
NO REPOSTING WHATSOEVER (It may not look like it, but I did put a looot of time into it…)
I’m super sorry it took so long to get finished, it was more difficult than I thought it’d be as the picture quality sucks, my knowledge of the referenced manga sucks, and my editing/translation skills suck. (I also may or may not have sat down for 1 episode of MLB and ended up watching 26 lol) 
The references made are to “Salaryman Kintarō ” by Hiroshi Motomiya, which has been published on and off since 1994 in Weekly Young Jump. 
There is also reference to “Slam Dunk” which ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1990-1996 and is by Takehiko Inoue (Inoue…what was it again? XD) Yuu was referring to the coach Anzai and used a quote of his (Which I thankfully found online and didn’t butcher the translation of cuz it’s an idiom type thing)
TN: I had to take a few liberties at times when it came to some of the terminology and how they referred to each other with titles and such. Also, super sorry bout the quality, but meh, I was kind over it by then…

OnS Chapter 126
Tumblr media
A shot from space. Does this mean it’s lore time? It’s lore time!
This will be long as there’s a lot of photos and a theory at the end.
(lol I forgot I had this in my drafts for weeks now)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Earth is a kingdom and Sika Madu was it’s king apparently? Here he is, addressing his subjects.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We finally get some explanation: there are many different kingdoms and Earth is one of them. The angels living in each kingdom are creating some kind of tower which has to be tall and the citizens also have to collect enough Photons (their power source). The end goal is reaching the Sun where God is. It’s Paradise.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
New characters! A couple of angels who looks more humanoid than most just like Sika Madu and angel!Mika.
These names might be familiar to many as they’re the names of Demons and have been referenced in other series. I had to google this by the way as I knew they were a reference to something (I’ve watched Mairimashita! Iruma-kun and saw some of the same names there) but never looked up what until now haha.
One of them, Amon, tells Sika Madu that they would follow the latter no matter what.
Tumblr media
Mika and Yuu also think they’re familiar! They look just like some people they know from the present time but with different names. They also wonder if Sika Madu and the others are literally going to the Sun itself.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Away from the others, a conversation begins: what to do with the experiment Mikaela. Angels aren’t allowed to create life so they must get rid of the evidence that shows they did just that.
Tumblr media
Paimon protests as he knew Sika Madu has gotten attached to Mikaela and this meant punishment. He and the others think highly of the king and wouldn’t want him gone. Sika Madu’s reply is that both Paimon and Bael could take his place if he were to be gone.
Paimon says he’d rather die first than let that happen.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Paimon is already infected by the sickness that had plagued the angels though and what he says just might happen. He then asked if the Mikaela Experiment is to find a cure for this plague.
Sika Madu says that it’s something that must be done as many angels might die even if they reach paradise. Whatever his plan may be is also forbidden. Paimon pleads for his King to not do this as they’re not important enough for Sika Madu to try and cure. He then asks again to be allowed to dispose of Mikaela.
Sika Madu asks for five days so he could say his goodbye to Mikaela and he would dispose of the boy himself. Paimon expresses his trust in Sika Madu’s words as the latter has never lied to them before and says he and the others would await the command to go to paradise.
Tumblr media
Back outside Paimon tells the others of what happened as he knew Sika Madu was lying and that they’d have to kill Mikaela themselves. He doesn’t care if he doesn’t get cured so long as his king is alright.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bael is on Sika Madu’s side though as he wouldn’t want Paimon to die of sickness. He says he’d rather die than go to Paradise without Paimon. He also tells Paimon that leaving the sick means to leave half their population which isn’t good either.
The two argue and decide they’d do what they believe they must but Bael also tells Paimon that the latter should have had more belief in ther King.
Tumblr media
Mika and Yuu are watching, able to sympathize with the angels’ predicament as they’re going through that, too. Mika wonders if it’s the right thing to do as even they don’t know if they’d succeed and Yuu tells him they’re just gonna go for it and worry about complicated stuff later.
Mika then wonders how things went for the angels. (also the boys are calling the angels by the names of people the angels resemble in the present time).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Paimon just really don’t want Sika Madu to suffer for his decisions and Mika could sympathize as he wouldn’t want Yuu to go through the same thing.
Tumblr media
Yuu finally noticed something we in the fandom probably have right now reading this: history is repeating itself. They just involve other people this time around.
Yuu is annoyed as this repetitiveness feels like they’re in Hell. Mika points out that Heaven is above where the tower is reaching after all.
Tumblr media
Yuu says heaven to him is where all of his loved ones are and if their world is hell itself then the First Progenitor had been stuck in hell for ages then.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, the First Progenitor is spending time with his son. He says that angel!Mika would be okay but for now, they’re gonna have to go somewhere far away so angel!Mika has to be a good boy and conserve energy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Angel!Mika is excited for their little outing and invites homonculus!Yuu with them. Unfortunately, Paimon arrives to do what he must.
---
Holy crap! Lore time!! I can’t believe they dropped so much info this month! Although this is a long time coming and we’ve been waiting for it so I guess it’s just right.
First of all, they’re talking about killing Mika. It doesn’t matter if it’s the angel! Mika, they’re still talking about probably killing Mika. Why do these things always happen on chapters that fall on Mika’s birthday month?
In May 2020, vampire!Mika dies and becomes a demon, May 2022 Mika finds out he has to die to resurrect humanity, and now May 2023 we find out angel!Mika had to die to protect Sika Madu. Does the author have something against Mika or something???
Anyways, Sika Madu was the king of angels on Earth way back and their goal is to get to the Sun. There are apparently other satellite kingdoms whose goal is the same as theirs. Why are all these angels on the planets in the first place? Is this some kind of battle royale where one group needs to get to Paradise faster than the others or something?
The king has a bunch fo loyal subordiantes and they all look very familiar. I love how Mika and Yuu just decided to call them by the names of people they look like in the present. Let’s see...
Bael: Urd Paimon: Saito Amon: Ashera Belial: Krul Astaroth: Lest Marbas: (?) Bathin: (?) Naberius: (?) Raum: (?) Orobas: Kiseki-O (I think)
I’m not sure about four of them but they could either be a progenitor or a demon we know. The artstyle of this manga is kind of samey with some faces (and some are at a different angle in this chapter) and I don’t know their haircolors so it’s difficut to tell. Although if we’re going by significant characters, Marbas could be Crowley, Bathin is Ferid, Naberius is Noya, and Raum might be Byakkomaru but I’ve never seen the guy without a hood so I really can’t be sure of this one.
I have a theory about this one but I’ll leave that for later.
It seems the angels from millions of years ago went through their own pandemic. Sika Madu says he created Mika for this reason (exactly for what, he didn’t say) so he isn’t agreeing on killing the kid. Paimon wants Mika dead cause he knows the king would be in trouble once it’s known he created a life. Unfortunately, Sika Madu seem to have gotten attached so Paimon wants to do the deed himself.
Here’s where an argument starts: Paimon wants to kill Mika for the king’s sake and doesn’t care if he or anyone dies of the sickness (a weird sort of reversal of the present where Saito wants to stop Sika Madu out of hate). Bael wants to believe in ther king and wouldn’t want anyone to be left behind.
Mika and Yuu discuss the happenings in front of them as in a way, they could relate: do what’s right and accept that there’d be sacrifices or keep going and save everyone no matter the difficulty. Yuu found it frustrating that things back in the past are the same as the present and it’s awful that it seems to be happening again.
Sika Madu seems to be attempting to escape but Paimon decides to make a move earlier than expected. I don’t know why homonculus!Yuu reacted that way after angel!Mika invited him to come with them. Why was he conflicted, I wonder?
Okay, theory time!
There’s a sickness going on that’s killing angels and the First Progenitor seem to be close with several of his subordinates and these people happen to look like vampires/demons in the present timeline. Angel Mika was artificially created to find a cure but the First Progenitor grew to care about him as a family.
Some of the current vampires are said to be a “Mikaela”, right? I think it’s maybe cause they were created the same way the original Mika was created.
They all probably died and Sika Madu tried to revive them by artificially recreating them. This would be cause he cared about them and also as a sort of experiment to bring Mika back to life. These experiments probably failed as they didn’t come back correctly. He probably tried recreating them from scratch later on via human birth and then just collecting all of them again to turn them into vampires. Sadly, they seem to be failures again and so he took the ones closest to what he wanted with him and had them turned into demons.
What has happened to the current Mika up until now? He was born human, then turned into a vampire, then now a demon where he no longer has a physical body... and angels aren’t humans. Sika Madu could revive Mika not as a human with the ritual. The other demons were tests to see what would happen if he turned Mika into a demon.
The rest of the vampires took a lot of energy to make, maybe. They were failures and Sika Madu only wants his kid now so he’s gonna sacrifice the rest. Yuu the homonculus is the final puzzle piece needed to recreate the real Mika as he has memories/data about angel!Mika that Sika Madu doesn’t have.
This is what I think, at least.
Woah! This was a long post! Been a while since I made something like this. Next month would be part of lore time again so I might make another depending on what they’d reveal. I’m excited!
Thanks for reading uwu

OnS Chapter 125
Tumblr media
I’m reading this on time! Hehe
I guess it’s finally backstory time for the First Progenitor?
Sorry for the awkward cut screenshots. I don’t really have a big screen space and there are several connected panels I want to post so yeah...
Tumblr media
The place Mika and Yuu found themselves in doesn’t have any hiding spot but it doesn’t seem like Shika Madu notices them. He’s seems to be busy and Mika and Yuu decided to be brave and take a look at what is being worked on.
Yuu passes by a window and as he looks outside, he wonders if they really are in the prehistoric age cause the city looks pretty futuristic.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mika looks at the monitors and says he can’t read what’s on it but amazingly, Yuu could when he tried. This made Mika more curious as to what Yuu really is. Mika asks Yuu to keep reading but Yuu complains that doing so is starting to give him a headache.
Tumblr media
As the two were doing that, Angel Mika finally comes in (which I think is weird cause he went to the tower first so why did Mika and Yuu get there first?).
Angel Mika happily offered his food with his father. Shika Madu realizes this meant Angel Mika went to town again. Apparently, Angel Mika isn’t allowed to do that but Angel Mika just laughs it off.
Tumblr media
I knew it!! The freaking black eyeball thing is Yuu!! XD
Mika and Yuu pick up on that and realize the memories they’re seeing belongs to the little ball Yuu.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Shika Madu also notices the name and asks if it meant Angel Mika named another homonculus. Angel Mika says yes as he thinks it’s sad that homonculus are nameless.
Tumblr media
As the duo continues to watch the exhcange, they notice that Angel Mika’s personality is the same as the current Yuu’s (the “dumb” parts as Mika points out).
Tumblr media
Homonculus Yuu is always watching Angel Mika.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shika Madu explains why giving homonculus names is not recommended: it would give them a heart. Like a curse that gives them emotions.
Tumblr media
lol  the duo is trying to figure out which of them is Angel Mika more similar to.
If you ask me, I think both. He’s happy and clingy like the actual 12yo Mika from before all this happened and he’s also like the currently happy, friendly Yuu.
Tumblr media
Homonulus Yuu is always watching...
With that range, I wonder if he could also see the other two?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It seems Angel Mika isn’t as healthy as he looks.
And lol at Mika and Yuu continuing their discussion about their similarities to Angel Mika.
Tumblr media
Angel Mika started coughing out blood and his father says it’s because spending time outside made him sick. Shika Madu asked Angel Mika to go to the cleansing room which Angel Mika hates. He was able to convince the boy to go by asking what Angel Mika would do if their situation was reversed (with the dad being the sick one putting himself in danger).
Angel Mika apologizes and asked if he’d ever get better. His father reassures him that he would. Someday.
Mika and Yuu knew that it was a lie. Angel Mika didn’t and held onto it for hope.
Tumblr media
The two are finally starting to figure out what’s going on. They’re now about to find out how things began which lead to where they are right now.
---
Hehe I knew the black eyeball thing was Yuu! I’m sure it’s not a big twist if you’ve seen so many other stories which lead up to the same twist though but still... I’m happy I figured it out before the reveal.
Anyways, Yuu could read the text on the tech stuff there although it gives him a headache. I guess he’s preprogrammed with important info already. I wonder if this has to do with resurrecting Angel Mika. Like maybe Yuu’s memories and knowledge could be transferred to Angel Mika once he’s back.
Also it sounds like Shika Madu had been using the homonculi to watch over or kind of babysit his son? What can they do though with them being just black orbs? But it seems homonculus!Yuu is doing his job while also indulging Angel Mika’s wishes - letting the boy go anywhere while watching over him.
Shika Madu said “Did you name your homonculus again?”. There’s that word: Again. So does that mean there are more of them that’s supposed to take care of Angel Mika? Where are they and what are the names they’ve been given? If homonculus!Yuu was the only one turned into a human later to resurrect Angel Mika, does that mean the other homonculus didn’t get to be as close to Angel Mika like homonculus!Yuu was?
There’s also just something... I’m not sure how to explain, just something with the way several panels are shown to let you see that homonculus!Yuu is watching Mika all the time. As if he’s taking in every single moment of Angel Mika’s life as a memory. I don’t know how to feel about that. It’s nice and also they’ve always been that close.
Again, it’s fun to see Mika and Yuu discussing things in the background with a bit of teasing and some jokes. Looking back at old art of OnS when Mika was still a vampire, it was just obvious how bad he’s feeling. Mika was always scowling unless he’s around Yuu-chan and even then, he still looks pained like he’s only going through everything just cause he wants to be with Yuu. The smiles weren’t that big and even the teasing usually has Mika being actually annoyed out of worry everything going on around them.
Here, Mika has been joking around, teasing Yuu, and despite how serious things might be, he looks like he’s actually happy.
Ah, not sure where to take this little essay now to as I have a few stuff in mind so okay... following the above! Back then Mika had been suffering and only thinking that as long as Yuu-chan is okay then that’s all that matters. Everything was life threatening for both of them and especially Yuu-chan’s well-being which Mika prioritizes most above even his own life.
Then last couple of chapters Yuu just goes “We’d do everything to save everybody and if we fail, then we fail. At least we tried!”. That’s it. Nothing to worry about: they’ve accepted that they might fail and die but it’s okay. As long as they’re together til the end (whatever that may be) then it’s okay.
Now it feels like an adventure instead of a really critical thing they have to deal with and always be serious about.
And Mika could still worry about Yuu but their future has already been decided in a way. It’s like he’s been freed from that something. Somehow, after following the story until now, that kinda makes me happy, too.
Anyways, Mika and Yuu points out the similarities they both have to Angel Mika. He does have some qualities of both although his looks are obviously more similar to Mika. Angel Mika is happy, he’s positive, he doesn’t follow rules if he could, he cares about others, he likes being around those he cares about, etc. Those are like both Mika and Yuu with their friendliness and care about those they love.
Yuu sort of was already like that in Ancient Greece, right? At least, the clone Yuu’s with emotions. Maybe those were Angel Mika’s personality just inserted into Yuu for preservation.
Mika was like that (or was trying to be all of that) before the apocalypse happened. He has a lot in common with his past self’s personality. Maybe also just preprogrammed?
Current Yuu wasn’t most of that before the apocalypse but got influenced to have the other more positive traits by being around Mika. Yuu always had that positivity with him not giving up even though things looked bleak. The friendliness though was something he probably learned from Mika alongside the whole “family” thing.
I’m just listing these out and dunno if they’d be important later but eh, they’re here now.
Okay, so Angel Mika was sick and there’s nothing Shika Madu could do about it. I wonder if Angel Mika actually believed his dad saying he could be cured or if he’s just trying to think positively again? Both the current Mika and Yuu realized it was a lie after all. I wonder if at this point Shika Madu already had planned on how to resurrect his son? Mika and Yuu both think this part of their memory is being shown to them cause the answer is here and it might mean seeing Angel Mika’s death and the beginning of the First Progenitor’s plan that spanned what... a million years?
I’m excited for the next chapter! I wonder if the questions would finally be answered? I’m still worried the others would catch Mika and Yuu in the real world though.
