Unobstructed painting of Cain by Thores Shibamoto from the Trinity Blood Stories Untold book!
Look he has nine wings!
Something I enjoy about this specific picture of Cain. Besides the nine plus wings in counting and the brass bird skulls he's using as shoulder pads (which some fans have speculated to be modeled after or made from the alien lifeforms found dead in the OG Ark) Is the lady that often appears on Cain's lance. His lance almost always sports a woman on it, sometimes she's very distinct sometimes she's vague. Only once was it obviously Lilith. When it came to Lilith, I knew it was symbolic of him absorbing her nanomachines, in a way stealing or eating her soul. But, for the other times I liked to imagen she was a woman from Cain's past. Maybe a lover or Rem figure who died before he did, or Cain had to let go for whatever reason.
Someone he either wanted to protect or was protected by. Her image wavering between distinct and vague representing the two personalities that resided in his body. The alien technology who's AI wants to destroy all live on Earth and the man he used to be.

"Rebirth" - INRI - TB never forget 2023
Igne Natura Renovatur Integra - in a different light….....
Although I already wrote about it bit, but I wanted to show an another interpretation of it. The way the Rosicrucians saw it.
Igne natura renovatur integra vs. Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum
One stands for RCO the other for Vatican (AX) but both have the same acronyms. While the inscriptions of the crux of Jesus (Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews) is clear (see P.S. below), the slogan of the Rosenkreuz Orden (through fire, nature is reborn whole) has different possibility of interpretation. As TB Wiki says, RCO wants to destroy the world in order to renew it (after).
But Rosicrucians meant it in a differently, viz "Regenerate matter through mind". So it was not about destruction but more about the might of the mind - with focus on the rebirth of the matter. The mind is the key for forming the matter in order to create something new. It means, the inner fire of the spirit should be free and undefiled, then is able to transform the outer shell: the being will be reborn in his pure original form, but on a higher level.
I see this in Trinity Blood as Cain tries all the time to renew his body, however his mind seems not strong and pure enough for it, since he had been go mad since he merged 100% with his nanomachines.
In contrast to him, Abel manages to reborn completely, also on a higher level, because his mind is strong enough. (Ok, Lilith's nanomachines helped maybe a bit too… 😜)

P.S. The original INRI inscription "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" was meant as a kind of mockery for Jesus, since they wanted to represent him as someone who is trying to be a king, however it wasn't allowed for jews to call themself "king". Also they used this as a legal basis for his conviction.
PS.2: Sorry for being late for this year's tb never forget, but better later than never.
