Chapter 129 reaction:

- I feel for the angels

- Damn, the whole city must have smelled like fried chicken…

- How did Shikama’s clothes appear again if they were burnt? And how come his hair regenerated in a braid?

- I don’t get the “it’s not an angel, it’s a human” part. If that was the first human, how come Shikama knew what a “human” was on the first place? Did he create the word on the spot or were there already other humans in other satellite kingdoms? (and I guess humanity’s first mother was an eyeball…)

- And how did the kids come out already knowing how to speak? Do they speak Japanese? And wouldn’t them coming out as newborns make more sense?

- So if the first two humans were Yuu and Mika (with Mika being a girl) does that mean they are Adam and Eve?

- Scene with the kids was kinda…emm😑

- PLOT TWIST!

- I liked the plot twist (didn’t even see it coming) but now I am confused. So does that mean that in order to awaken angel Micha, it’s the soul in Yuu that is needed (as that is Micha’s soul)? Shikama has kept Michaela’s body all this time so I guess that will be the body the soul will be placed in but then what is the purpose of our Mika? If his body won’t be used as a vessel nor his soul will be needed, then why does he look like Michaela? Who are the Michaelas like Mika, Ferid and Crowley? Is the soul in Mika’s body a random soul or will it turn out that Yuu’s soul is in his body? So many questions..

- Last but not least, what weeds is Kagami smoking?

[nonameserafu]

What a plot twist! Didn’t expect that one!

Sooo the real Mikaela was Yuu all along, the one that has to be sacrificed to save humanity.

Or does Yuu has two souls? Mikaelas and his own?

And our Mika everyone expects to be the Mikaela is only Mika or Yuu homunculus in the appearance of Mika?

So in the End it’s still Mika and Yuu just with different Bodies.

Anyway I’m still confused xD Looking forward for the next chapter.

As confusing and convoluted as the Kingdom Hearts plot is, it's got nothing on Seraph of the End

[black-sapphire57]

Since where more educated on the whole vampire/angel lore, to put it simply all the vampires/demons are the reincarnated/replicas of Shikamas angels whom he so dearly cherished and wants to bring them back to heaven with him? Also I’ve been waiting for the right moment to use this:

Vamps and demons discovering that they where fated to be cursed by darkness:

ONS Chapter 129 Pet Theory

Not to be critically insane… but I returned from my brief intermission from ONS to read chapter 129 and be… absolutely befuddled by whatever the hell Kagami is cooking in the kitchen.

It should be obvious, but spoilers for ONS chapter 129 lie ahead.

So, as a quick recap of c.129, we learn: Sika Madu is punished for his choices by eternal damnation / being burned; Homunculus Yu created humanity at Sika Madu’s request; and apparently, the most bewildering of all: our current iteration of Yu is “also” Mika.

So, what the hell does that mean? Particularly, the last bit.

Well—when I think of the theme/trope of “two beings sharing one soul”, my mind is instantly drawn to the idea of soulmates. The concept of soulmates isn’t new to Mika and Yu, and they’ve often been narratively explained to have some sort of allusion to that (between Yu refusing to always give Mika up/finding him, Vessel Yu being created for the purpose of reviving Mika, and us later finding out Yu and Mika have been together for several millennia).

I believe this newest chapter takes this one step further—soulmates are often considered to be two halves of the same soul. In Greek Mythology, soulmates were two humans who were initially one, and then split apart due to God’s wrath (caused by human ego and pride).

Perhaps this is where ONS is currently leading us?

Of my own opinion, it’s a rather… sharp turn I wasn’t expecting the storyline to take. It’s kind of blindsiding. I wonder what sort of narrative significance this will bring?

And maybe the soulmate idea is completely out-of-bounds wrong. I’m not even going to try to piece things together anymore tbh. It is what it is at this point.

[nefamphetamine]

the angels were killed and their souls "chained to hell" and then their souls were"bound to earth", according to the viz translation, within a couple pages of each other.

so... confirmation that earth is indeed hell in ons?

So uh Sapphy and I decided to have some fun with this picture of Linus (no that's still not his canon name 💔) and I present the fruits of our silly labour which I've been instructed to post

I'm ngl with my glasses off he doesn't look that bad but he looks fuckin UGLY in 4k

Firstly we have the addition of some eyebrows 🧐 Linus deserves them and we have several options featuring a range of expressions

aren't I so great at art 😍😍

And some wonderful alternative lines for Linus' various plights 🤌 all to make the scene have a different vibe my personal favourite is the second one

These ones are courtesy of @black-sapphire57 who began the word rearranging with his first alternative problem 😭

And some more eyebrow propositions 🥰

I'm out of space Tumblr said no more pictures 💀

I just read chapter 129 and I can relate to Mika 😂

[lostsoulaltair]

Mikaela Shindo. At the end, what is he?

Given that the last chapter ended up with revelations, answers of some stuff, this is an analysis I'll be sharing with you.

If you don't like it, that's okay; just be respectful, that's all.

P.S: This is held within a neutral view

Before I start...I'd like to give an insight of what has been happening as of late thanks to the release of Ch. 129

Given the huge revelation, mayhaps you've heard that Mika might be a split soul of the angel Mikaela, or that perhaps he might have lost relevance with that, etc.

I think, this is mostly related to what we can state as "expectations". Mika for sure has a role, but that itself has been fulfilled ever since he unlocked Yuu's memories from the past.

It is not an easy fit itself, but now, how does this relate to the main topic of the post?

That's because I'd like to discuss what Mika as a character is.

He is not the angel Mikaela given that the soul of said angel has been residing within Yuu given that what took place between Yuu's (ancestor, past self) made something akin to a contract or a deal

Of course, this does not mean that Yuu has 0 identity or that he does not have a will. This means that even if he keep stored the soul of the angel Mikaela and there are traits displayed from the angel's personality; this does not mean he ceases to be who he is.

And the reason why I can state is because of this:

-The Homunculus bond with the Angel Mikaela

This homunculus was once running with the angel Mikaela in ancient times; it was capable of seeing the truth,along the fact that it was cursed with a name, a sign of love.

Ultimately, due to this attachment the Homunculus developed, the Homunculus did end up guarding the memories that belonged to the angel Mikaela along all that took place in the past. Which also answers as to why it appeared in front of Mikaela back in chapter 106.

But now, the eternal question. Why was Mika displayed as a human? Shouldn't he had appeared with more angelic traits?

Let's answers this that mayhaps might turn bitter for some.

Mikaela Hyakuya/Shindo was a normal boy. He does not have involvement itself with the past of Shikama and Yuu's. And this is heavily proved how in all the backstory we got, Mikaela confirmed Yuu's denial, all that they saw were Yuu's memories all along, not his.

And Yuu ultimately remembered everything. But then, this leaves a huge question.

What is Mika at the end?

Mika does have plot relevance even if he is not the Angel Mikaela.

One of the things the chapter answered, was the purpose of the existance of the Angel Mikaela:

Along this, they gave away the purpose of the Sinful Keys but that'll take place in another post

The Angel Mikaela's purpose given that there's enough of "God's light" is to bring back the death. And the reason why Mikaela Hyakuya was used to the point he turned to a demon, was not because he was the real son of Shikama given that Shikama, Guren and everyone else considered that regard; no it was mainly because of the positive results Mikaela gave holding the Seraph and Mikaela trait, it was because of that, he was the perfect candidate, to bring forward the "light" needed to bring onwards the resurrection.

That is Mikaela's real purpose; the reason why Shikama at first sought to capture Mikaela's soul is because as ironic as it might seem, Shikama's anger, grudge towards God and the punishment he received, literally made him incapable to see the soul of his own son. He literally dismissed the possibility that the soul of his son was still present, he ignored it to the point Mikaela's soul resided within Yuu instead of Mika's body.

What do you think?
