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.

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

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.

Two ideals being carried away within the story. And yet, at the same time they connect through the main theme. "Love."

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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!

Stop Sulking (Seraph of the End)

Summary: After learning that Mika is alive, Yu retreats into himself for a while, but Kimizuki is having none of that.

A/N: My first Seraph of the End fic!! I wrote this before I'd finished the show because I just couldn't help myself - I HAD to write for it! I love Yu so much - he and Mika are my faves - and you know that with the natural chaos of his friend group, something like this was probably bound to happen. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I loved writing for it! 💖

Word Count: 1316

**Contains minor spoilers for Episodes 10-12**

~~~

“Would you stop sulking already?”

Yu sat up straight, startled, and turned toward the doorway of his small bedroom, scowling when he saw his pink-haired teammate striding in with a frown of his own.

“I’m not sulking,” he grumbled. “Get out of here.”

“You are,” Kimizuki returned, still walking towards him, “and no, I won’t. Not when you obviously need company.”

“I don’t want company,” Yu retorted, very nearly growling when Kimizuki sat beside him on the bed. “Go away, jerk.”

“Then stop sulking.”

“I’m not sulking! I’m just…” Even Yu had to admit his first thought was ‘brooding,’ and that was basically sulking. “…thinking.”

“About your friend?”

Silence fell between them. Yu let his mind drift back to Mika. Mika, whom he hadn’t seen in four years. Mika, whom he’d thought dead all this time. Mika…his family.

Kimizuki sighed. “Look, I get it. You want to save him from the vampires. We all want to take those blood suckers out. But sulking about it isn’t going to do any good.”

“You’re one to talk. Like you don’t worry about your sister all the time,” Yu retorted.

This time, the silence that fell felt tense. The smaller boy turned to look at his teammate, surprised by the troubled expression he wore. But before he could open his mouth, his friend was talking again.

“I’m just saying that worrying isn’t going to help. You’ll only make yourself sick. Believe me.” Kimizuki turned to look at him, expression serious. “So for real, Yu. Stop sulking about it and start thinking about what you’re going to do about it.”

Yu scowled. “Don’t you think I’m already doing that? And quit telling me to stop sulking. I’m not sulking.”

“Oh, yeah?” Without any warning or hint of his intentions whatsoever, Kimizuki reached for him and grabbed onto his sides, squeezing purposefully. “Then let’s see a smile.”

Yu would deny the shriek that left his lips for the rest of his days. He spasmed and his hands flew down to grab the taller boy’s wrists, trying to frantically push him away. A huge smile broke out without his consent, as did a slew of giggles. “Dohohohohon’t!”

Kimizuki only smirked. “Oh? Our tough guy’s pretty ticklish, huh?” He wiggled his fingers despite Yu’s protests, pulling more helpless snickers out of his teammate even as he struggled and tried to shimmy away. “Tsk, where do you think you’re going, big guy? Come here.”

Yu’s eyes widened in alarm when Kimizuki swung a leg over to straddle his thighs, effectively pinning him in place and keeping him from wiggling any further away. “Nohohohohohoho! You jeheheherk – dohohohon’t do thahahahahat!”

“What’s the matter? I thought you said you weren’t sulking,” Kimizuki teased, clawing his fingers up to Yu’s ribs, smirking triumphantly when it made his friend yelp and bring his elbows in protectively.

The smaller boy whined, “I’m nohohohohohohot! Stohohohohohohohop alreheheheheady, you ahahahahahahass!”

“Nah, I think I’ll keep going. You obviously need it.”

Yu continued to scratch and claw at his teammate, desperately trying to push him away and protect his sensitive torso, but it was hard to put his whole strength into it when it was being sapped by the ticklish sensations wracking his body. He hadn’t been tickled since he was a kid; he’d forgotten how susceptible he was. Giggles poured out of him beyond his control, light and airy despite himself. He dug his heels into the bed, messing up the sheets, but he didn’t care. Kimizuki’s fingers easily kept up with him, tickling his sides and ribs and even his belly and hips in rapid succession, keeping Yu in a constant state of helpless laughter.

Then a third voice joined the cacophony. “Yu? Kimizuki? Is everything okay?”

“Quick!” Kimizuki said before Yu could even try to formulate words. “Come hold his arms, Yoichi!”

As soon as he saw his brown-haired friend coming to heed his assailant’s instructions, Yu cried, “Nohohohohohoho! Don’t you dahahahahahahare, Yohihihihihichi!”

But instead of hesitating, Yoichi’s eyes lit up at the sight of him. “You’re laughing! I haven’t seen you laugh in a while. I was beginning to worry.”

“It’s nohohohohohohot my chohohohohohohoice!” Yu whined, clenching his arms to his sides when Kimizuki tried yet again to go higher than his ribs. “Mahahahahahahake him stohohohohohohop!”

Instead, Yoichi just smiled at him and moved to stand behind his head, reaching down to grab at his arms.

“You’ll have to give it your all,” Kimizuki chuckled when he saw his teammate struggling to pull Yu’s arms up. “He’s surprisingly strong, even now.”

Spurred on by his teammate’s words, Yoichi gripped Yu’s arms tighter and pulled with all his might, gradually forcing them above his head.

“Dohohohohohohohon’t!” Yu screeched, thrashing and kicking the whole way but losing the battle all the same.

Kimizuki’s smirk turned into a wicked grin as he finally, finally plunged his tickling fingers into Yu’s armpits.

Yu’s whole body reacted, jerking and spasming as he arched his back and squeezed his eyes shut and absolutely screamed with laughter. “GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!! YOU AHAHAHAHAHAHASSHOLES!! I’LL KIHIHIHIHIHIHLL YOU!! STAHAHAHAHAHAP!!”

“Whoa!” Yoichi cried, giggling along with his friend as he quickly repositioned himself so he could sit on his arms instead of just holding them, ensuring that he was trapped in this new vulnerable position. “He’s really ticklish, isn’t he?”

“Seems like it,” Kimizuki replied, smiling as well as he dug and kneaded into Yu’s armpits, drawing out a myriad of shrieks and cackles and even a few snorts from their brooding friend.

“PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEASE!!” Yu cried, the first pleading word to come out of him so far tonight. “I CAHAHAHAHAHAHAN’T!! STAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAP IT!!”

Kimizuki just chuckled and kept tickling, being merciful and going back to his ribs and sides for a few seconds at a time to give him a breather, and all the while Yoichi looked on with a beaming smile of his own, both of them happy to see Yu properly laughing for the first time since he’d seen his friend out on the battlefield.

After a couple of minutes – during which time the both of them were surprised to hear that Yu had stopped demanding for them to knock it off, stopped saying anything at all, really – Kimizuki noticed tears in his friend’s eyes and decided he’d had enough, slowing his tickling to a gradual stop.

“There, now, was that so hard?” he teased, his smile beginning to fade when he noticed Yu’s own forced grin beginning to wobble.

Kimizuki and Yoichi looked at each other in alarm. This was not what they’d wanted.

“I…” the pink-haired boy stammered, climbing off of his teammate as he brought his arms down and covered his eyes with one hand, the other clenched in his shirt. “I’m…I’m sorry, Yu. I should have…you asked me to stop, and I…”

“It’s not that,” Yu managed, his voice obviously choked up from trying to hold in his emotions.

Yoichi sat at the head of the bed, frowning worriedly at him as well. “Then what is it?”

Yu swallowed hard, taking a few moments to find his voice again. “It’s just…I don’t remember the last time I laughed so hard. I forgot how…how good it feels.”

His teammates exchanged glances again, this time surprised ones.

After another few moments of gathering himself, Yu pushed up into a sitting position, keeping his head down as he murmured, “I’m not upset. That was…”

When he didn’t – or couldn’t – say anything more, Kimizuki hesitantly wrapped an arm around his shoulders, surprised when Yu buried his face in his chest and hugged him. He returned the gesture, glancing up at Yoichi’s beaming face just as he joined in, too, and then all three of them were hugging each other tightly, like they never wanted to let go.

“You’re still gonna pay for that, though,” Yu grumbled against his teammate’s shirt, making him chuckle and ruffle his hair.

“We’ll see about that.”

Catastrophe at 16 is a group of people trying to communicate how much they care about the protagonist and swearing they’re undying love for him as he learns the importance of friendship and gets through that emotional barrier. Vampire Reign is the protagonist desperately trying to convince his acquaintances that they’re all actually besties because he is desperate for a sense of community and connection.

Yu has Always Thought Mika is Pretty!

Evidence:

He said Angel Michaela was Like Mika only ‘prettier’.

Notice the ‘er’ in prettier meaning ‘even more’

Yu has always thought Mika was beautiful.

Owari no Seraph Chapter 133 - Analysis & Review

Hello everyone, it's been a goddamn while; I've been busy with things, also learning constantly a new language; thus, given that I did like the latest chapter, I wanted to talk or discuss about it; as always, feel free to discuss, disagree, or share your thoughts; though of course, the only thing I request is respect.

Thus let's proceed

A destroyed world a talk about the "meaning of life" & "what it means to live". At the end, we're young.

The chapter might joke a lot between the girl's conversation which it might feel unnecesary or perhaps not worth it but given how the two characters were build; Shinoa is the type of character that does know when there's certain tension when someone is concerned about her.

But let's focus on something more important; the chapter begins with Mitsuba finally finding Shinoa who has been far away from her squad after Guren, Mahiru, Krul and company left to most likely the place where Yuu is.

Mitsuba after for so long finally made an appearance which is something I'm glad for; and as a good friend, she shows her concern given that she's never seen Shinoa act out of her usual demanor.

Something that I do find adorable is the very fact that Mitsuba is trying to be supportive given that there is a weight being carried on Shinoa's shoulders; while it's true Shinoa has never spoken about what she endured as a child; Mitsuba does want to understand her friend and no matter what might happen, they're there for her.

Thus leading to the next panel; Shinoa has always seen herself as a character with no value or rather, that thanks to her existance, the lives of innocents were screwed given that she was compatible with the monster that made sure the world ended in the way it is.

But once again, Mitsuba does convey the message of how Yoichi, Kimizuki and her feel towards her given that there's absolutely no one to reasure her that her life is as valuable as others.

And of course, we got the author with its weird interest on female bodies but; jokes aside from such panel; there's an aspect of truth to it. They are teenagers, they're no longer kids; they're characters that were forced to grow up at a very young age, forced to change to endure all the struggles of their surroundings to the point they had to mimic adults in a sense.

Many might find it pointless, boring, and perhaps even unrelated but the very fact that they touched the emotions of Shinoa does lead to a heavier topic.

Such topic is reflected in the next panel:

While it's true that Yuu has constantly talked about "a reason to live", "family", "friends", etc. Yuu does not know the weight of those words; he says he's going to save everyone, but in order to save somoene, there are consequences, losses and the sort in such path; nothing can be obtained for free in life and that's something that perhaps he might face eventually.

Returning with the squad, Mitsuba at first dismisses such question about the "meaning of life".

There is a huge relevance to the question; and this of course, reflects to the very first issue; that they've been working on how to save their lives that they haven't ever thought about themselves.

While it is very common to see that whenever someone says "that person thinks about themselves" it can come in a negative connotation; but that's not entirely the case; there's a difference between being selfish and understanding one's self.

When it comes to being selfish, it does relate about not caring a bit about what your actions may eventually do to others, how much harm you may cause due to them, willingly or not; it is literally dismissing a reason to as to why there may be something halting something one may want.

But, when it comes to understanding one's self; it is not only a superfitial level of understanding; it is knowing what one person may want, may long, may fight for, what may make them sad, what may anger them, etc.

In this case, Mitsuba realized that she has never given a deep thought to what she, as Mitsuba Sanguu truthfully wants. She grew up to be a soldier, to battle every time in order to protect those who couldn't protect themselves but with the development of the squad, it was not just a journey of sticking together, it was a journey of finding out that love can develop after getting to meet someone.

Eventually, Mitsuba does understand that it's not the typical joke mood or non serious conversation but rather a very important one.

In the next panel, Mitsuba's first longing or desire was to be acknowledged or to be validated. To be recognized; which of course, Shinoa mentions that she does understand that and it is true; Shinoa as a child did want validation from everyone or rather, instead of the term "validation", what it is more proper is "recognition or acknowledgement of existance".

True, in the current chapter Shinoa mentions she was luckier given that they never bothered with her; there's a difference between Mitsuba and Shinoa, which was showing what they could do in order to seek that. Mitsuba tried her best to show that she too held talent; alas with Shinoa, she simply ditched the idea, there was no reason to even fight about it.

But thanks to the very fact that she remembered what Mahiru did even if I too, agree that it was a really harsh method; she did know that at least someone cared about her existance.

Mitsu states that Shinoa was loved in contrast to her that no one loved her; which makes Shinoa to reasure her that she does love Mitsuba. And of course, while it's true that the original source uses the kanji Ai (愛) it does not carry a romantic context (Yes I've been studying if you wonder and there's still a longer way ahead).

Shinoa is reasuring Mitsuba that she too is loved; just like how Mitsuba expressed on her best way that Yoichi, Kimizuki and her cared about Shinoa's safety; Shinoa too knows that the squad itself cares about each other; after all, they're a small family that can only encourage each other to keep going.

But here comes something important that perhaps it might be to personal interpretation but Shinoa does state something important:

Because love exists for someone, it does not mean that's the sole reason to the meaning of life or for a reason to live.

What does that mean?

Us as humans, be in the different envioroments we end up growing, we end up finding purposes for our existance, sometimes it takes longer, other times we have certainty that we found out what we want to do with our lives; along such trail, we will find friends, perhaps a person we might fall in love; we might suffer about a heartbreak or two or so on; but despite that, it's a path we've chosen to walk because very independent of the bonds we forge along the way; there are things we want to do out there, we long for new experiences, new insights, new spots to visit, and of course, we can never suspend the time; we grow up, we mature, we gain interest in other things as we grow which is visible how from childhood, we change a lot when we become teenagers, so as adults too, we change.

In Shinoa's case, she is truthful that she does not find value to her life, given how many chains of events involving her lead to misfortune for others; but despite that, she is thankful that there are people out there that do love her despite the harm her existance may has brought up upon Earth.

Nevertheless, we get a follow up, once Shinoa expressed herself, Mitsuba asks her directly about Yuu's acknowledgement, recognition or validation. Which of course, she responds honestly to it.

It hurts; and it is natural that it hurts her; it's the first time she fell in love with someone but not in the same way Mahiru did, not in the same turn of events Mahiru went through; after all, it's something I'll discuss a bit further from here. Let's continue.

Shinoa eases the mood by asking Mitsuba about how she feels towards Yuu which of course she knows very well that she too has a crush on him. But despite that many might feel the conversation as pointless, there's something certain to the panel itself; it is letting the weight and torment of many mixed emotions go, finally opening up to someone who understands you, to have someone you can trust unconditionally.

The mood eventually soothes to the point the two of them are in peace; having talked about such things when they've never had the opportunity to act like teenage girls, it was a rather refreshing experience for them.

I can't say that's correct or not but even in movies that face the end of the world, characters tend to talk about things they long to do and the sort.

Once Mitsuba asks Shinoa about her first real reason to live; one could understand that it is left to free interpretation given that both girls are simply enjoying their youth; they still haven't found a very truthful reason as to why they're there but for now; they did understand something.

Life is not just about existance, it's more than just hoping validation or acknowledgment, it is akin to what exactly you want to experience, it is about what you want to do instead of what others want you to do.

This leads to the new path I've mentioned before and this shall be discussed in the next point

Moving onwards to a new goal

After a girl's talk; Mitsuba points out about Shinoa's talent that is way above Mahiru's; such talent has always been hinted since the LNs were created.

Shinoa mentions that given that at that time she lacked a motive along goals within her reach; and of course, even Shikama pointed it out that she lacked desires, there was not so much she could do despite being more powerful than Mahiru, nevertheless, Mitsuba is aware Shinoa has gained something she lacked from the very beginning. Confidence.

This leads for Shinoa to have a discussion with her squad, but of course, they were eavesdropping the girls; they gave them their privacy. While they too are clumsy, reckless, immature in general, they too understand that people need some time alone to recollect their thoughts; they understand that there are things that sometimes can only be discussed with a certain someone not because of a lack of interest but rather because there is something that can be conveyed way better.

But very independent of that, it just reflects that Yoichi and Kimizuki have been worried as well about the girls after Yuu's departure along Guren and Vampires.

The next scene is actually something I am rather thankful that I actually thought I'd never see in the story in general; and that is the very fact that they're taking independent action for once; they're no longer following Guren's orders, they're no longer following a vampire's guidance that ends up falling in Guren's hand or Shikama's; nor they are following Yuu's wishes but rather; they're trying to open up a new path but exclusively for what they do label as "family".

Within the squad members, Kimizuki, Yoichi and Mitsuba long to see their families back due to the unfair deaths they had; Shinoa despite not having someone to call family or rather simply accepting the course of nature; she does want to see her friends having their families back, she has seen them struggle, she has seen the desperation of Kimizuki, the longing of Yoichi to have a miracle granted. But instead of following someone else's agenda given that Guren and Mahiru do have knowledge that they simply won't share to the squad; it is the first step for them to walk and open a new path for them.

Shinoa is very aware that their knowledge is limited, along the fact that they're not on an equal ground in terms of power; but given that now she does have confidence and something else; as I mentioned briefly in the other point; Shinoa has a deep understanding that the actions her sister took, do not defind her present or future nor how she will eventually turn out; such outcomes are only decided by her alone and if she wants to create a path along her friends, she has to fight for it giving away for the first time, the real power she has within her.

The very fact that Kiseki-O and Gekkouin were manifested by force instead by their wielders says something about what Shikama sought with Shinoa, what could it be?

Correct. Shikama or Sika Madu, was once an angel that served God but due to his arrogance, he lost his path leading to his eternal punishment for it; but even still, even if the angels that fell with him deemed or viewed him as a God. There was something even the reincarnations of such Fallen Angels were never subjected to.

Absolute control.

And thanks to reading the RAW version of the catastrophe at 16 manga; the purpose of Mahiru and Shinoa at the beginning was to control the punishment the Seraph of the End experiment held. But in contrast to Mahiru; Shinoa was born capable to control demons, she was capable of seeing them from a very young age but given that she has motivation along an objective; that power finally has shined. Leading to a new battle:

Perhaps you, dear readers may wonder how Shinoa was able to connect with Shikama despite him sending her off or cutting their ties; and of course, she does mention there was a small connection; truth to be told; even if Shikama wanted, she was born with him; they were together ever since she came to existance, hence that even if he tried to severe his ties to her, there will be something chaining him down.

And of course, the battle between Shinoa and Shikama has begun

Shikama gave away his power for light BUT, given that Shinoa could devour such darkness; it can only lead this

All the power that came from God's light may be stored in Shinoa's body and as they say, even if darkness tries to consume light; light always finds a way to cast aside the shadows that darkness creates.

Quite long huh? What do you think?

Let me know!!
