Dude, Seraph of the End just became Jurassic Park.

[distinguished-slacker]

After my last hot take I must say coffin Michaela (well, this is not actually coffined) looks prettier than when he is asleep. This is what having a personality does.

[cyaneyedcl]

takaya takami is so capable of making chapter 123 tell us abt everything and anything except for what's behind that damn door, i do not trust that man a single bit

[ashethehedgehog]

Rawr~ So that new chapter huh ;)

[nyssasorbit]

Okay but I actually loved this chapter? The inclusion of dinosaurs seems absurd, but tbh, it makes perfect sense to me?? If we're going to reference biblical Christian stuff, then why not include something about dinos in there? On top of that, we get to see a cool angel city? Kagami also wasted far less time on the dinosaurs than I would have expected, which is nice.

Now I'm wondering, since Rigr is going into the First's memory, will something weird happen to where they converge with Yuu and Mika, and he runs into them there?

Owari no Seraph: Why Yuu’s emotions probably aren’t manipulated/Fake *contains major spoilers*

I heard many people brush off Yuu’s feeling towards Mika as “manipulated/programmed” by Shikama Doji or “Survivor’s Guild” and after effects of Childhood Trauma (abandonment issues) but here is what actually speaks against this (I wrote a document file, with a lot of proof if you want to look it up later):

A) Yuu seems to know Mika even before he was dead. In chapter 122/123 we see Mika and Yuu still alive and kicking as angels (Seraph Mika and Cherub Yuu, it’s most definitely him), what proves this would be the to Mika seemingly familiar eye in chapter 106 and the fact Yuu “was created” out of this eyeball. That’s where we get to

B) Yuu wasn’t “created” but is a clone. As we already know from real-life, organs can be grown out of stem-cells or embryos and in Seraph of the end this “embryo” must be the original Yuu’s eye. You can’t replicate something without having the original and if Mika and Yuu were best Friends and together, even before Shikama had to make up this whole plan to revive his dead son, His current feelings and the fact (chapter 85) Yuu even went to the forbidden room, because he was drawn to Mika and didn’t even know he was in there, means they are real and Yuu isn’t programmed to feel that way. They are just remains of the feelings he had towards Mika from his original life.

C) And Yuu said those are his real feelings himself. While everyone is calling him “insane” or “manipulated” by Mikaela and the first, Yuu confirmed he was sane this entire time (Chapter 118) and isn’t doing what everyone says. (Page 34).

I also think Ashera saying “You’ve only ever had eyes for Mika” (Chapter 117) was foreshadowing to the fact, that he literally was an eye and with Mika even before humanity XD Someone also complained about Yuu’s “creepy eyes” from Chapter 113, which exactly look like the eye from Yuu’s original form. They probably weren’t meant as Yuu being a dead puppet, but probably as confirmation, that Yuu is “The Cherub” later on and only saw Mika ever since. You could also say, maybe these Cherubs were created by the first and fallen angels, as part of the Balu project (122) and Yuu was assigned to be Mika’s supervisor, but the first didn’t have his current plan in mind at that time, so of what use would be personal feelings if they could be a hindrance too (Maybe, telling Mika that his life could be in danger because of the project). Yuu’s feelings are 99% the real deal and Kagami, plus everyone involved in the ONS productions, confirmed Yuu’s feelings were romantically too what would go against “just a stupid obsession”.

Furthermore Yuu, was immediately starting to talk about himself going to die, if he can’t have Mika in his life (indirect suicide threat chapter 119) and explained how Mika always has been his reason to live, setting him apart from the rest of his family (Shinoasquad/Akane co.). When his parents abandoned him, Mika was there, when everyone died in the vampire capital, Yuu only lived on because Mika wanted him to and he wanted to get revenge for him and his dead family, when he found Mika again (1st/2nd) Reuinon he lived to protect what’s most dear to him and when losing him a second time, saving Mika was his purpose.

To this “He always lets Mika stand out from the rest of the family” we have A) The “I want to save my family, you’re family too” Mika: “You can’t have both” and Yuu suddenly saying “I don’t care for humanity” and even willing to risk the lives of the other children too, if it meant Mika would be safe. And B) The confusing translation of Chapter 119′s beginning:

“I always thought about myself and my Family” “I just had to save my family” “I just had to save you”, this sentence can be intepreted two ways 1. “I always thought I had to protect my family, but I only had to protect you” or 2. “Since I only have to protect my family, I only have to protect you” either way he is separating his feelings towards Mika from the others, meaning Mika is a special case. And remembering chapter 117/118 Ashera’s and Yuu’s fight, we learned that Yuu’s deepest desire, has not only something to with Mika, but also isn’t just wanting to save him(but this would be Shikama’s plan, so he is already acting out of order), although he only wants to save Mika if he claims, to want to save everyone.  Again there seem to be personal feelings not even Shikamadu expected. The ‘separating Mika’ can be seen as manipulation, but thinking back on that, all Shikamadu ever did, was putting Yuu into a life scarring situation, cloning him and telling Yuu his purpose was Mika, although he won’t be able to remember that at all. 

Last thing I actually wanted to say but forgot (sorry I have issues to concentrate, especially if I love the topic) was Yuu’s reaction to Mika and Shinoa’s confession. When he found out Shinoa loved him, he just rejected her, no further comments or reaction. But when Ashera told him, Mika was in love with him, he cried and suffered harder than before. He was already panicking  and in despair because Mika died a 2nd time, but having to hear “he was in love with you”, made it even worse. If it was just fake, an obsession or he was just a brother to him, he wouldn’t have reacted as if he just lost the opportunity to get together with the one he loved since forever or even harder than he already did. (You know what I’m saying? If not just tell me). And after hearing he could save him as demon, he even was all that “what are you doing to *my* Mika?” and randomly calling Mika pretty: “There was an angel that looked like you”, “They look like you, but even prettier”, “See? That’s you”. It almost looks like he’s flirting with him (and I can tell you, I was like that when realizing I was in love with my BFF and she was in love with me, before we got for 3 years separated from eachother and met again XD).

I also think there’s something weird anyways in everyone being scared of Mika’s life and thinking Mika must be sacrificed if humanity has to be restored, but that’s another thing I’ll talk about next time. I was just mentioning it because, that would defy first: Mika being turned into a vampire, as part of emotional manipulation and second: Turning Mika into a demon, if it means him having to perish, although Shika’s plan is reviving Mika.--->https://www.tumblr.com/shiningthundert/711601715786481664/owari-no-seraph-the-weird-thing-of-mika-having-to?source=share

Edit/Addition: I forgot to say that yes, there is emotional Trauma which can shape a child and that also, there's a certain emotional dependency if the last member of the family survived and you always thought they were dead, to the point you also wanted to die, but this same emotional trauma, is what gave them the ability to grow closer and develop a relationship in the first place. Sympathy and trying to be the other's emotional support is what love needs as well and Mika is the only one Yuu has this with. So of course will a shared trauma strengthen their bond, but that doesn't necessarily mean that romantic love needs to develop. However what we know is, Yuu is attracted to Mika (source: Shippingwiki Trivia/Manga/Game/Interviews) and also the feeling he's the only one who understands you, on your side and will do everything to make you happy, that's what most people look in potential partners for and who is more fit for this role, than the one that always gave you a reason to live and you feel attracted to even before humanity and their death itself?

CHAPTER 125 SPOILERS

Edit: Called it, Yuu is the Homunculus and Mika was the one who gave him name and heart. See his hyperfixation doesn't come from nowhere and also isn't manipulated emotions as he was never intended to feel love until Mika gave him his name😆♥️♥️

[ichika27]

OnS Chapter 123-124

Been a while lol. Finally getting to reading this chapter and the next. From the cover art I can tell this is gonna be something else.

I’m gonna read the chapters back-to-back so this would have lots of screenshots from both.

Yuu opens the door to see further into his past and sees the most unbelievable thing: dinasours. He was distracted and got dragged by another dinosaur towards a dino-fight but luckily before he could get in the scuffle he fell off. Mika runs over to him and both of them escape to safety.

I don’t know all of the dinosaurs names so I’d just be referring to them as dinosaurs. I can’t believe there are dinosaurs in this manga. Imagine telling someone what Owari no Seraph is, like “It’s about Humans vs Vampires and then later vs Demons and Angels. Oh and dinosaurs show up later! It makes sense in context!” lol

After the danger has passed, Yuu finally let it sink in that he’s seeing real dinosaurs and is super excited! Mika points out that this is still in Yuu’s memories which meant that Yuu existed here back then. They wonder how that could be and Yuu wonders if humans already existed in these times and Mika explains that they did not.

A timeline of events lol

Hahaha I love their interaction when it’s like this. I know things are becoming urgent and serious in the outside world but at least whenever these two are together like this, it feels like there’s still hope if they could have even this bit of fun.

Anyways, Yuu points out that if this is part of his memories then the him from this time should be around there somewhere, too.

Hahahaha wtf

Yuu hopes this isn’t the past version of him cause he’d prefer something cooler. The creature stares at them which made them wonder if it is Yuu.

A certain someone shows up.

The angel Mikaela arrives and grabs the creature from before making the two wonder if this was Mika’s memories instead.

Angel Mikaela pokes the creature and out pops a black ball with one eye. He and the black ball both leave together.

Mika and Yuu try to follow the two but it’s difficult when the ones they’re following can fly. Yuu doesn’t have enough desires to fill Mika for more power to help then and Yuu needs to eat again, too. Yuu leaves for a moment to eat as quickly as he could while Mika stays behind to keep track of their targets.

Yuu returns with a full stomach which gave Mika enough power to let them jump really high. Once they spot the angel and his companion, the two run as fast as they could in that direction.

When they finally get there, well...

Around the are other angels and black orbs with eyes. The two wonder what this meant and if this was the age of angels.

Next chapter!

The two walk around in what appears to be a city of angels. None of the angels could see them but Mika reminds Yuu they could still get hit by them. They continue to look for angel Mikaela as it’s the only clue they have (Mika points out that calling his angel look alike “Angel Mika” is unimaginative lol).

The two find a map but neither of them could read it. Yuu suggest to just continue looking around and inside the buildings til they find who they’re looking for but Mika yells at him reminding him that the place is huge - ten times bigger than Shibuya or Shinjuku.

Yuu says they don’t have a choice and happily went off. Mika thinks Yuu’s positivity is a good thing he should emulate as well.

A shot from space.

The two take a break. The place is too big and it’s getting dark as well. Yuu has gone hungry again from all the running. When they thought of letting Yuu leave to eat for a moment, the one they’re looking for passes by.

It’s Angel Mika! With some ice cream looking thing!

So Yuu leaves and eats as quickly as he could while Mika stays and continues to run after the angel. In order to catch up, Mika hitches a ride on one of the large black orbs.

The orb went to a different direction than the angel did but Mika was still able to see where he went. Yuu reappears and is informed that the Angel Mika went to one of the high towers. Mika teases Yuu and asks if Yuu also wanted to climb this one as Yuu liked high places.

This convo is both funny and sweet. Mika calls Yuu dumb and Yuu admits to it but they don’t see it as a bad thing. Yuu being dumb is tied to his optimistic and determined nature after all.

Mika now has enough power to let them jump high and far again and the two were able to catch up to the angel.

They overhear Angel Mika’s words on the way. They wonder if the “father” the angel spoke of is the First Progenitor (and also if angels eat ice cream lol).

Yuu wonders how high above the angel went and Mika tried and failed to count the number of floors. Yuu asks why Mika even tried and Mika just said he wanted to look smart. lol Mika’s trying to be goofy as well but at least things are still lighthearted for now (considering they might see the First Progenitor later).

They follow the angel to the tower although the went inside normally rather than jump towards the really high entrance the angel went into.

On of the angels went somewhere prompting this automatic message to play. The tower they’re in is the “Tower of Babel” whose goal is to let them return to paradise.

Mika and Yuu jump quickly to enter the same entrance the other angel did.

The two found elevators and decided to use one to get to the top. Since they don’t know which floor Angel Mika went to, they’re gonna try to search from the very top first. 

When they got there, they find a certain someone.

---

First dinosaurs and then now a city filled with angels. What the heck is happening in this manga?! lol

Again, I love the interactions between Yuu and Mika. They tease each other, have a few arguments, call each other out when the other is being dumb, and they support each other and are just having fun when they can. After everything bad that happened before especially to Mika who went through so much throughout this manga, its nice to see this.

Not gonna lie, I get worried whenever they show the real world. It makes me worry that someone would get there to find Yuu and Mika while they’re in the memory world or someone might popup to attack Yuu while he’s eating.

Yuu’s desire is pretty simple even if it’s complicated: he just wants to save everyone no matter what and for them to live at the end of it. If not, well he tried. It seems like maybe it’s so simple there’s nothing else much for Mika to absorb. On the other hand, basica human necessity is still eating and drinking. It’s something the body would badly desire if it’s lacking nutrients and it’s also refillable. It’s seems to be a good replacement for more desire - Yuu’s body would want to eat and that’s a desire and if he fulfils it, he’d be stronger for the moment to give Mika more power. I dunno where I’m going with this i just thought it’s interesting.

Okay, back to the story:

The joke about how Yuu might be that lizard thing (I don’t know what it is so I’m calling it “lizard thing”) is pretty funny but also, it might not be entirely wrong. Angel Mika grabs the thing and takes out one of the floating black orbs with one eye. They seem to be close (maybe it’s a pet? companion?) and Angel Mika left with it on him on his way to see his father.

I think that specific black orb could be Yuu.

I mean, in his past memories in Ancient Greece, all of the clone Yuu’s start out as just an eye, if I remember correctly. Maybe Yuu started out as just that black orb and then turned into human.

My guess for this is that to resurrect Angel Mika perfectly the way he used to be, he has to have all of his memories. Shika Madu seem to be busy judging from this chapter and that orb is almost always with Angel Mika. If that was Yuu then he’d technically have more of Angel Mika’s memories although in a different POV. It might be why Yuu is told he is needed to wake up Angel Mika in the coffin.

I mean that’s what happened when Mika turned into a demon, right? He lost his memories and doesn’t remember much about his past as a human and a vampire. When he accepted making a contract with Yuu, he gains access to Yuu’s memories which not only slowly unlocked his own memories but is also able to see those same memories from Yuu’s perspective.

My thoughts on the Angel City is that the angels there might have been kicked out of heaven or was sent there but were unable to get back up. They need a way to return home either way so the tower was made. There’s not enough info right now to have a proper guess though.

That was fun! More lore explanation next chapter, I hope.

Owari no Seraph ch 123 english fan translation

This chapter was released officially in English without any spoilers, so this was just for fun. I have included some extra promo material that wasn't translated along with the offical, though. Thank you for reading.

Chapter 123: Footrace in Ancient Times

Reaching into the past to find the reason for his own existence.....!!

Yuu: Open up, past of mine. Let's see what the hell you are.

*LOUD door opening sound*

Yuu: The ocean?

Yuu: I don't think there's a way to tell how far back in the past we are just by the ocean....

Mika: You'll see soon.

Yuu: Why soon?

Mika: Just get out there. You'll get it.

*pterodactyl screech*

Yuu: What was that?

Yuu: HUH WHAT THE FUCK?????? HANG ON WAIT-- WHAT THE-????

Mika: Oh no way!!!

*dinosaurs roaring*

Yuu: *screaming just like them*

Mika: Yuuchan!

Yuu: Ow ow ow ow

Mika: Run!!

Yuu: D-......d-.......d-

Mika: Yeah I get it

Yuu: AWESOME!!!! THESE ARE DINOSAURS!! DINOSAURS!!

Mika: I figured you'd be hyped.

Yuu: This is amazing, they're the real deal. Real dinosaurs.

Mika: These are your memories, though.

Yuu: So, what? I was born in the dinosaur era then?

Mika: Well don't ask me.

Yuu: So....were there humans this far back?

Mika: Not by a long shot. Humans wouldn't exist for another 10 or 20 thousand years.

Yuu: Ohoho? Then when was the dinosaur age?

Mika: Like a hundred million years ago?

Present day (here and now) Yuu is present

Destruction of the world (8 years ago) Yuu is present

Birth of humanity (10,000 years ago) Yuu is present

∞

Dinosaur age (100 million years ago) Yuu is present

Yuu: I-....

Yuu: WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH MY PAST????

Mika: Yeah....

Yuu: AM I A DINOSAUR? AM I, IS THAT IT????

Mika: Maybe in terms of intelligence

Yuu: KNOCK IT OFF.

Yuu: Not to mention, if this is all in my memories...

Yuu: I wonder if *I'm* around here somewhere?

Mika: Oh...I wonder.

*lizard sounds*

Yuu: Nononono

Yuu: We're in the dinosaur age, at least let me be as big as one too....

Mika: No I think it's looking this way

Yuu: Yeah but. It has to be a coincidence.

Mika: It's staring right at us

Yuu: Are you kidding me? Is that seriously me?

Yuu: This has to be a joke, there's no way.

Angel Mikaela: Found you~!!

Yuu: Huh?

Angel Mikaela: Look at you, hiding in something like this~

Yuu: Hey, this is, from back then. These aren't my memories, they're yours.

Mika: So that's really me?

Yuu: Something came out!!

Angel Mikaela: Haha, you didn't fool me for a second!

Angel Mikaela: It's time to go, Father is calling.

Yuu: Aw what, they're flying away. Are we able to fly here?

Yuu: Uhh....

Yuu: WE REALLY HAVE TO RUN??

Mika: Fuck fuck fuck I'm losing sight of them, we can't keep up!

Yuu: Is this our ruin!??

Yuu: Can't you eat some of my desires and get stronger?

Mika: Ah, no dice.

Mika: Breaking into this memory took a ton of desire

Yuu: So I don't have enough?

Mika: You don't, you're calories are-

Yuu: GOT IT I'LL GO EAT SOMETHING

Mika: GREAT, COUNTING ON IT. I'LL KEEP RUNNING SO WE DON'T LOSE THEM.

Yuu: HERE I GO!!

Mika: WELL THAT WAS FAST.

Mika: Oh god...I hope I can keep up.

Yuu: Oh he wasn't kidding, I'm so hungry again. The miles per gallon on me sucks.

Yuu: Alright, stomach filled! I'm coming back, Mika!

Yuu: I'm back!

Mika: Hey!! Your power is back too!

Yuu: Lost sight of them?

Mika: Just barely. I think. But since we've got power again-

Mika: We can go!

Yuu: Ohh, power indeed. Let's go!

Yuu: There they are! Over there!

Mika: Yeah

Mika: This way, on the other side of the mountain. Let's cover the distance all at once.

Yuu: Right

Mika: It's right behind this precipice.

Yuu: You're not a demon anymore. All that power is gone too.

Mika: We really have to conserve energy. Come on, let's go up.

Mika: Ah-

Yuu: What is it?

Yuu: Did you lose sight of Angel Mika?

Yuu: Huh, what? What's behind the precipice?

Yuu: Whoa, what the...

Yuu: There's tons of things that look like the First down there.

Mika: And those weird eyeballs

Yuu: What time period is this, the angel age?

Mika: Hmm...

Yuu: Holy shit

Mika: Yeah

A city of angels has appeared out of nowhere....What will they lay eyes upon next in this mystery-filled past...!?
