Hello!I really love your analyses (I am trying to read them all)and having personally returned to the fandom after 4 years it feels like I discovered a hidden gem.
Since my favourite characters are all vampires and since Ferid is also one I would like to ask you what do you think the ending of the vampire race will be like?I mean with the way the story is going it seems that in the end all the vampires are sadly going to die either from the resurrection or with Saito finding a way for them to die as he promised.I would like it if they somehow get turned back into humans and somehow live a peaceful life but it seems highly unlikely 😔.I love Kagami for creating such a complex and deep story but since Horn and Chess appeared there is a high chance that Lacus and Rene will also and seeing my boy Lacus finally appear after 6 years ( his last appearance in the manga was in 2018 if I am not mistaken) to just die hurts 😭.
(I know this is a pretty complex ask and you are not obligated to answer it if it's too much also I don't know if you have answered this already so if you did I am sorry)
Hello!
Please, do not worry about the complexity of the question.
It is true, this ask is one that requires more thought, but it is a pertinent one that deserves attention.
"Hidden gem", this is perhaps the nicest compliment I received here. Thank you so much!
I am really glad that my analysis is helpful and enlightening to this fascinating story. I will try to attach all my analysis in the masterlist to make it easier to read. (I kind of lost track of them and the analysis masterlist does not have them all. Sorry for that. )
Now about your question.
The answer is a complex one, and I really do not think I can offer anything with certainty.
Thus, I will rather discuss the existing possibilities and any assumptions I have.
In the end, we will see what happens in the manga further. What is certain is that I am sure that the ending will be extraordinary and full of meaning, commensurate with this special story, and I support the author whatever he chooses next.
Now I will present my ideas.
In the OnS world, there is a lot of emphasis on the concept of "soul". How the whole universe is created as a "prison" for this soul.
Infinite reincarnation, without the possibility of an end or a meaningful destination for the soul. This is how human life works here, in a continuous vicious circle.
To me, vampirism is simply another form of reincarnation. The same impossibility of freeing the soul, the same immortal "life", the same lack of meaning for the soul, only now in one body and at the cost of altering the memories and personality of the human souls trapped in this form of curse.
Moreover, vampire souls, as I said, do not have the possibility to die. They can only pass into another "form", as demons. So it is about human persons cursed with vampirism, which in the end can only become demons. Still a "circle" type trajectory, without escape.
That is why, I think, that just as humanity needs a new "restart", a release from infinite reincarnations (which maybe the resurrection will do), the souls of vampires need a form of release, of rest.
How will this happen?
Honestly, I do not know. Vampire souls are human, that much is clear. No matter what form they exist in: mortal human body, immortal vampiric body, demonic entity, it is all about human souls in different forms.
And right now there is no Heaven for these human souls, under any form, you know?
From here we can draw the conclusion, that maybe if Sika's suffering will find a solution, and if Guren will succeed in the resurrection, the laws of the OnS world will change and the possibility of a Heaven for all these souls will appear?
But the answer is, frankly, a complicated one. Because it is not just one way, I think.
For example, the vampires transformed by Sika Madu are basically the reincarnations of his angels. And Sika Madu wants to go back to Heaven with them, from whence they fell. So maybe these vampires will return to this Heaven in the end? As angels again, or as human souls?
But there are many other vampires who are not reincarnations of those angels, like Ferid, Crowley, Basteya, Lacus, René, Chess, Horn and the rest of the vampire race. These were just people. So what will be their ending?
And there is also something else. We are talking about the resurrection, which involved the death of every vampire, either for the resurrection of humanity or Mikaela.
But from what we have seen recently, these vampires are not much in the form of "vampires" anymore. Hundreds of them have been ingested by Ferid and their souls are in a state of metamorphosis to the demon form in Ferid's inner dimension.
Here comes a guess of mine.
Mahiru Hiiragi, before becoming a demon, said something, "Next time I am reborn I want to be an ordinary girl."
I think these words of hers should be taken more seriously, considering that since the age of 11 she has had visions and nightmares including about the Apocalypse. Perhaps she knew that there was a possibility that human souls who had reached the demon state would be reborn as humans someday. Perhaps this is a consequence of the resurrection Guren is currently working on.
Mostly, I do not think Ferid is working against Guren's plan by his current actions. Given that Guren's plan directly fights against Sika Madu's purpose, and that Ferid is involved in this plan willingly, I strongly believe that the "resurrection of mankind" means the restoration of the laws of this universe as well. That is, including what Ferid wants since he was 16, "breaking that circle", of meaningless reincarnation, changing the broken laws of the world.
Tumblr media
Especially, Ferid did not say that he does not want anyone to ever be born again, but that he wants no one to ever be reborn in that " putrid " world. In that world of broken laws, which holds souls meaninglessly captive in infinite reincarnations.
Birth and rebirth are two different things. Or resurrection versus rebirth.
Rebirth drags the soul into a new life even if that soul has already lived a life. Rebirth leaves no room for rest.
Resurrection restores a life ruined by something, repairs it and perhaps gives it another meaning.
And if new laws are established for the universe, if the problem of infinite reincarnation in this hellish world is solved and Heaven is opened for human souls, maybe one good life will be given to resurrected human souls?
A life with meaning, at the end of which the soul has a Heaven where it can go.
And perhaps, the souls of vampires ingested by Ferid and turned into demons, as Mahiru Hiiragi implied, can "reincarnate" again as humans, now in a world that offers only one good and meaningful life for each soul, followed of the possibility of entering Heaven.
Thus, in this version, Ferid can be considered to represent the "gateway" through which vampire souls can get a chance to later regain their humanity.
And in the end, maybe the only vampire to die will be Ferid.
I think all vampires except him have had someone who loved them. Look at Horn and Chess, who are good friends in my view, or Lacus and René. Or Crowley with his comrades, with the friends he must have had in his previous life as Ferid's older brother.
All of them had love in their lives, people who loved them. And maybe that is why they need a new good life with these beloved people.
And Ferid, truly unloved by anyone, is the "sacrificial lamb", no matter how surprising it seems.
Basically, his greatest frustration is the rotten way his world works, its meaningless laws, the creation out of darkness by a corrupt God. And perhaps his happy ending is to die, leaving behind through his actions a world of meaning, a world born of love, something he always longed for but could not have.
There is a lot to say in this hypothesis, but what I am pointing out is that I am sure that Ferid will have a direct confrontation with Sika Madu, and more than anything, a discussion with this god of his, in which he will again demand the reason why everything is like that.
If you remember chapter 76 where Ferid asked Sika why the world is like this.
Tumblr media
I think Sika might be willing to give Ferid an answer in the end.
In a way, you know, it may sound strange, but I feel a great similarity between Ferid and Sika Madu. Such a similarity that it seems for me that Ferid is a reflection of the curse placed on Sika Madu.
I would go into a lot of detail, but I risk making this essay too long.
The idea is that Ferid longs for a world with meaning, that good God, harmony and the possibility of a Heaven, the breaking of the cursed circle on earth. Just as Sika longed to reach Heaven again, where his Father (the other God) was, and just as he was cursed to live endlessly on that earth exactly like a Hell.
Even chapter 134, the fact that Ferid's memories where we find out how he feels about reincarnation follows the panel when Shinoa tells Sika that she will see all his memories. Beyond the sudden shift in perspective specific to the series. Perhaps this is also a clue related to what I say about the similarity between Ferid and Sika, about the sufferings of both.
If anyone is interested, I can elaborate more on this theory about Ferid and Sika.
Now, in conclusion, I am sure that no matter how everything ends, the vampire species will no longer exist. They are a cursed creation born of the suffering, frustrations and curse of Sika Madu. This is how the first vampire was "born", from his negative emotions generated by the received curse. So automatically this curse has to be resolved somehow.
And with the vampire species gone, surely their souls will find peace one way or another. I think a balance will be reached in the end.
I also have an idea for how Ferid could achieve this balance. I can elaborate on this in another post if anyone is interested.
After all, it remains to be seen how the author ends this fascinatingly profound story. I have full faith in Kagami and I am sure that the end of the story will teach us valuable things.
That is all for now. I feel like I wrote chaotically again. Please come back with questions about anything you feel. This topic is one that needs to be discussed a lot.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to look into it a bit. I had never answered this question before.
Thank you very much for the trust in my interpretation! I hope this answer was at least a little helpful!
My inbox is always open for such discussions. And remember that kind feedback is welcome!
I wish you and whoever finds this post a good day!

OnS Chapter 136 Analysis - Love vs The Past
Well, a new chapter dropped. I must say that I liked it. We really are heading towards the end of the story and two sides now are on stage.
One fighting for love; the other one fighting to bring back something that is long lost.
Love can often be misunderstood in the manga story; to the point it distorts a lot, but in reality, it takes so many shapes, so many forms along giving birth to ideals.
Each character within the story is moved to do something for "love". But in this role too; the "love" for the "past" exists.
The past is a momentum that will always live in our memories; it is something that will forever be frozen; something that will not change. It's something that is part of us without defining us.
As we've seen today; the chapter starts with Yuu trying to reach the First; but given that the Progenitors want to avoid the destruction of the world much further; they were preventing Yuu from making contact with the First.
Of course, we see how Mika couldn't withstand the raw power of Urd Geales; we saw Shinya and Kureto alive and kicking once again; and finally, the main spot; the reunion between Shikama and Yuu.
Tumblr media
Shikama is aware that Yuu has all his memories back ever since he detected an anomaly along the interaction with the corpse of Mikaela. Of course, whenever Shikama knows the soul of his son is alive and kicking, it's up to interpretation. Though, it is clear he knows it exists.
Eventually we see how Shikama is going to bestow Yuu his knowledge and power
Tumblr media
But before he could give away his power to Yuu; Shinoa interferred with the possibility.
Leading to our possible future battle between Shinoa and Yuu.
Tumblr media
Two ideals being carried away within the story. And yet, at the same time they connect through the main theme. "Love."
Tumblr media
And no, it's not "romantic love ". The "love" or 愛 which is not the same as other interpretations of love itself. Just "ai". A love that takes so many shapes.
Let's begin with the real analysis here.
Yuu isn't exactly fighting for humanity nor his friends, nor his family. Given that the "regression" process he made to recall his whole life; he saw how his life originated alongside being the son of the First.
Given that, he is actually aiming for the task of "saving" but given that "love" is playing its role as well. It is the love he has deep down for his father that he is doing everything to bring back what his father cherished in the past. Which is something reflected as well when he was the angel Mikaela. Taking his life so divine punishment wouldn't fall upon his father.
Tumblr media
Shikama did love his angels, his followers and he did blame himself for the punishment that fell upon them. But given God's nature; it was normal that the punishment fell upon those angels given that they no longer praised for God.
Though; one thing Shikama and Yuu have in common, is the attachment to the past. It is the very fact that the past for them is something that should have prevailed instead of changing. What do I mean?
To Shikama, the Progenitors he chose, despite being reincarnations of those angels that followed him once; are not his angels.
And this is highly visible once Ashera asks Shikama what he should do back in chapter 117.
Tumblr media
To his eyes, Shikama's sired progenitors were just tools given that to him; they are shadows of who they were once, but to those progenitors; even if they have acknowledged that they are reincarnations; they made a choice.
Tumblr media
They chose to follow up their own path. And as they've stated back in chapter 114; their last and final task is to protect the world they live in. Meaning avoiding the resurrection of the angel Mikaela.
But now, why do I say Shikama and Yuu have one thing in common?
Yuu is a character that despite living endlessly; along having a constant memory reset until now that he gathered all his memories; he's done one thing to no end. And that is living in the past.
True, there are scars that take its time to heal from the past; some are very difficult nonetheless; he chose to live in such past. When he had a chance to make a choice; that choice was no longer centered in the present; it began to lead further astray to the past.
But then, what's the point of those promises?
Given how everything has turned. Those promises are something that can't be fulfilled. What do I mean?
In order to revive the angels from long ago; sacrifices must be made. But here's another thing that it is being dismissed. What could it be?
The absolute lack of appreciation to life.
Yuu might state he aims to save everyone; even to Ashera who at the end understood that there are limits to life. He loved and embraced he managed to get his sister back; but the cost for that was making her suffer for eternity; nevertheless, the lives both had, those kind of experiences they managed to live had their moments of bliss; bringing back entities that perished long ago, is discarting the moments experienced, the moments lived along the emotions that were carried through a lifetime.
But now, there is an opposite force here. And that force is no other than. "Love."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Many might consider that Shinoa's love is "obssession, madness like Mahiru's love" but no. This is actually wrong.
Back when she stated she would kill Mikaela; there was a massive misconception of this which chapter 133 explained a lot.
Shinoa thought Yuu was being possessed by Mikaela at that time hence her retoric; but given that she saw first hand that Yuu had fooled them; she understood that Yuu was doing everything on his own will. And let's not forget that Yuu might be dumb, but not clueless or ignorant.
Shinoa's form of "love" is not something that came out of nothing; it's something that began taking shape by her own; it began from curiosity, turning into uncertainty, then transforming into caring, along developing feelings for a special someone. Such feelings for her were seen as something hideous or bad; but at the end, she understood they weren't bad, nevertheless, she never admitted them until or rather never accepted them truthfully until chapter 133.
Chapter 133 was a very reflexive chapter given that it gave Shinoa resolution; a resolution as to why it is the reason she was standing still in the very end of the world.
Shinoa's love is not centered to one person, but rather; it is centered to the very core family she gained through her journey which lead to this.
Tumblr media
Her battle and her resolution is directed to the very family that has stood with her and has followed her through the long journey she has taken so far. Hence why; she is standing along her squad just like how the vampires did; how they are going to live. Not by a decree of an entity, not by a decree of her sister and Guren nor the vampires; but rather, taking their own path until the very end.
Hence why Shikama states that her love is self centered, which is no different from him. He centered his love to his angels; Shinoa is centering her love to those who exist in the present. Along letting them return to their normality before the world ended; given that the end of the world, the events that took place before they were born, were all spiderwebs made by the First.
This is the first time they are fighting for their own.
What do you think it'll happen next?
Let me know!

I love that when Mahiru was looking for a sire Saito was like “Oh. No, I refuse to turn anyone into a vampire, sorry.” Like Ferid really left an impression didn’t he.

New ons Chapter! So again chapter 131 inital thoughts
- ok so this is kind of a slow one but ig since it's leading up to the big conforntation and prolly final battle/s that means it's tolerable
- however another installment of Mikayuu doing fuckall wasn't nedded, if aynthing a short perspective change to Shinoa squad feat Guren and Ferid would have been a lot better at building up tension yk
- Mika's personality shift is so jarring actually but at least Yuu got some of his cautiosness back so. A win is a win ig
- oh yeah the Guren-Shikama parallel(s) is now confirmed :))) and Shinya showed up :))) as an ugly corpse but still he showed up :))))
- otherwise yeah that's it not a very eventful or engaging chapter but I didn't find it too terrible
Also this chapter gave us this panel that I find very funny
Tumblr media
Everyones plans and motives getting laid out and Ferid is still there just fucking around
Once again art complaints...
Tumblr media
Who are those, fucking Ulrich, Kirsten and Roger(again)??? Bro Urd and Ky Luc deserve better than this 💀 At least Rigr looks somewhat better in that last panel. Somewhat
Not even gonna talk about Gilbert or Ferid since everyone collectively had their meltdown about them last month lmao

hii!! may I ask for saito and ky luc with a reader who has a hight sex drive?
Hello! Sure thing!
WARNING: NSFW CONTENT,MINORS DNI‼️
Rigr Stafford(Saito) and Ky Luc with a s/o who has a high sex drive
Tumblr media
Rigr Stafford
-I think he would be very into the idea of having a s/o whose sex drive is very high
-I mean he does have a lot of stamina
-but there's one thing: he does have enough stamina,but not enough time
-he is very busy working on his DADDY ISSUES
-and so you may end up masturbating alone a lot of times because of that,though it's not a common thing because he will try to give you all the time in the world that you need
-especially if it's for something very intimate like sex
-I think that for example if you find yourself wanting to do "playtime" while he is at work or something,he would really enjoy the idea of fucking you on his work table or at his work place in general
-also when he catches you masturbating alone,be prepared for him to punish you for being sooo needy
Tumblr media
Ky Luc
-I personally headcanon Ky Luc as having a high sex-drive too
-he has a lot of energy which requires to be emptied by no other than his s/o
-he enjoys having sex with you,he can't lie with that one,he likes to fuck you in your bedroom the most because that's where the sounds that you two make can't be heard by anyone but you
-he can't help it,having a high sex drive too,even though he is a vampire,you two would likely have sex every time you get the chance to
-enjoys your presence and every time you want to try something new,he's very into it
-would fuck you even in his beloved Urd's mansion
Thank you for requesting and I hope you'll request again soon!
I hope you enjoyed these!:)

Rigr Stafford keeps saying things and I do not like them
Okay. So in advance. This is not a Rigr Stafford hatepost. Rigr Stafford is one of my greatest comfort characters from anything ever. He is the only reason I came back to this fandom At All.
That being said! I am a Ferid main (and Ferid kinnie), and every three chapters at this point Rigr will say something like this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, I'm not one to go around pointing fingers. But do we think, maybe, a little bit, uh
Tumblr media
I need to know what's going on in his head. I need to pick his brain apart. I'm going to lose it. Literally at what point during the process of being chosen for having the Mikaela trait, made immortal, abandoned by your sire and then spending hundreds of years obsessing over said abandonment did you go "hm, this is really fun actually i think more people should experience this!"
I am going to kill him

My thoughts on chapter 136
As a friend of mine said, I believe that this was a preparatory chapter, which foresees something extremely important.
I really liked it, honestly.
The symbolism of this chapter is great and I could talk a lot about it.
But I think it is extremely important that Sika Madu was able to realize that "those people" who he actually looked at as bugs, have surpassed him.
Tumblr media
His arrogance was thus crushed and, I can say, he actually evolved.
Because Sika has this conversation with Shinoa where he asks her why she wants so much power. She replies that for "love", a line that Sika comments on as something related to the selfish nature of humans.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then she tells him something so right:
•"And you're any different?"
And the truth is, no, Sika is no different from humans. He is as imperfect as they are, and he has loved as authentically as they have.
It all started from Sika's love for his angels, for Mikaela. Including from his frustration of not receiving any attention from his "father" (the other God) and the continuous expectation of being at least sanctioned by that God. So far went his desire to have, in fact, the affection of "his father".
And all of this illustrates so well the humanity of Sika Madu and how all humans are, in fact, a reflection of him.
Basically, they are his children, towards whom he never wanted to assume the role of god, protector or father.
But, I think Sika understood more now and saw that he was wrong in his arrogance, ignoring his own creation.
I felt bad for him though. His scenes really touched me, especially his talk with Yuu.
How Sika asked him to revive Mikaela, when it was actually Yuu, the one he was talking to, that Mikaela, his son he had struggled for eons to bring back.
I believe that this conversation was Sika's greatest display of love for his son and that it was a tender moment.
I am kind of sad that Sika could not find out that Yuu is actually his son, but maybe there will be a way for him to find out in the end?
I do not think Sika is truly gone as a soul.
He disintegrated, being absorbed by Shinoa, but his punishment is to never die, to never forget anything. That is why I believe his soul is still alive somewhere, and at the right time, he will be able to have that conversation with his son, knowing who he is talking to.
I also think that the scene where, on the one hand, Shinoa was absorbing his powers, just so that Sika would not ever hurt anyone with it again (which Sika Madu did a lot of, especially to Shinoa, whose life he ruined from conception ), and on the other, Yuu, his son for whom Sika did everything, receives his father's legacy — both frames unfolding simultaneously, shows precisely the humanity of Sika Madu.
The fact that he has many shades, just like a human being.
On the one hand, Sika destroyed the existence of so many souls and committed terrible atrocities.
On the other hand, he loved sincerely and did so much only for his loved ones.
That is why he too is a gray character with his good and bad sides and I think the author showed that so well.
Basically, OnS really does not have villains, just human characters, whose perspectives are valid in their own way.
I am so excited for the next chapter!
As for the others characters, I think everything unfolded logically and consistently.
The fact that the upcoming attack on Krul by Ferid was stopped for the moment is natural.
Ferid is an extraordinary strategist and he never attacks without reason or at the wrong time.
As seen here, Ferid stopped, listening to the noise caused by Urd's sword. He sensed a strong threat and stopped to calculate what level of power would be required to neutralize such an attack?
Tumblr media
Ferid is not necessarily interested in directly attacking Krul now, in scaring her with certain gestures.
He knows she feels him and that she is already freaking out on her own.
Tumblr media
At the end of last chapter, Krul does not even recognize Ferid. Why?
Because vampires feel each other, what power they carry. And Ferid was always a miserable bug for Krul's power.
But the twist of the situation is that the one whom she always humiliated, threatened, beat, whom she always looked down on, has a much greater power than hers now.
So big that she wonders if she would have any chance of beating him then.
This little scene perfectly illustrates something important about Ferid's character. His power to transcend the limits of the situations in which he finds himself. His true intelligence and ability to think through the rules of any game.
Truly, this moment shows Ferid's capabilities as a leader, strategist and thinker.
And I think that is something very important within his character, especially because in his past, as a prince in his childhood, Ferid has always been repressed and forced to hide his true abilities, to live as a servant in the shadows of others. I wrote more about it in this analysis about him.
Other than that, I really enjoyed this chapter. Shinya's return, the interaction between him and Kureto. I should do a separate analysis on Yuu and Shinoa as well.
But I end with this here:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And of course, with mentioning again my gratitude to the author for creating this fascinating story!
How much the theme of humanity can be deepened even in this chapter! Certainly more can be discussed.
Any kind feedback is welcome and I wish whoever finds this post a good day!
