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.

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.

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?

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.

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:

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!

I believe that the whole point of the OnS story is that there are no "villains".

Considering that the author said that he wants to illustrate the theme of humanity in what he writes, it all makes sense.

No one is "bad". Everyone has their valid perspective.

Obviously, sometimes these perspectives are in opposition and one can play the negative role in someone else's story.

But at the end of the day, everyone has their own perspective, their own valid path, and their own human desires, including Sika Madu, the creator of mankind.

The author even said that there are only gray characters in the OnS story and I think that is so fascinating and authentically human. Everyone can reach negative or positive points, everyone is human, that is, a complex being with a variety of nuances.

That can be analyzed so deeply, down to the theology of the OnS world, the definition of the human being there, but it is certain that the story is a good reflection of the depth of the human being.

That is why I love it so much and I appreciate every single character and the author who created them.

I love how the Catastrophe has to happen anyway for Sika's plan to revive his son, meaning the world was reaching total destruction, all humanity + the vampire race were dying, and Mahiru at 16 was able to stop it.

She and Guren were like, "Okay, we're stealing our destroyed god's that chance."

And all of this being Rígr's plan that had been prepared for a millennium, an attempt to counter the destruction that Sika wanted to bring to the world.

When you draw a line and analyze everything, actually the actions of some seemingly monstrous characters (Mahiru, Guren, Rígr, Ferid) literally saved the world, gave the world another chance to survive and fight back against the creator who wants to destroy it.

And that is actually what Ferid is doing right now too.

I just love Kagami's anti-heroes. They are so well written and tragic.

I really appreciate the portrayal of these characters because they force readers to think very humanly. Yes, humanly, not just in black and white filters, in stereotypes, but to deepen more perspectives and nuances of the characters. Because people are not supposed to be just in black and white filters, but complex beings with a lot of depth. And these characters are intended to reflect the idea of being human as faithfully as possible.

In fact, the entire OnS story is written this way and that is why I love it so much. It feels alive and authentic to me.

I think the author really manages to illustrate well the theme of humanity and all the ideas and philosophies that can be born from it.

Hi! This is so weird but I remember that you have a cat. Can you show me pictures of him? 😭

Hello! Do not worry, please. This is not weird at all.

Oh, I think you mean my male cat named Ferid, right? It was a grey one, blue eyes.

Unfortunately, my dear boy died 2 years ago being run over by a car. I guess he predicted the fate of his OnS homologous?

But thanks a lot for reminding him.

Unfortunately, I do not have pictures of him on my phone right now, but if I find them, I will post them in memory of the sweetest cat, my beloved Ferid. 3>

Hii, I have a question about Rigr and Urd! How do you feel about Rigr and Urd resolving their “sibling” issues? I feel like the author breezed past Urd and Rigr’s problems way too fast. I think Kagami should’ve gone more in-depth on their emotions due to them being distant for so long. Recently, in these chapters I’m kind of disappointed that Urd has just been following along with Rigr’s plans without any retaliation. I feel like they deserved more serious/intense moments towards each other compared to what we have seen so far. What do you think?🤔 😁

Hello!

This is an interesting question. Thank you very much for trusting me to ask this.

I understand what you are saying, yes. But, I still think that the author wants to convey a certain message by the way he presented their brotherly relationship, something important about both of them.

To explain my interpretation and answer your question as clearly as possible, we must begin by pointing out what the problem was between Rígr and Urd.

Why Rígr left, why Urd is angry with him.

" The hell you are!

I refuse to allow you to leave! "

"You'll stay...

...Rígr."

It is very clear that Urd's wish was for his brother to be with him. Indeed, it did not matter what they did: that they kept the order of vampire society, that they guarded the world, or that they raised cows on a farm (which is not a bad idea at all), what mattered to Urd was not what he did with Rígr, but for his brother to be by his side regardless.

I emphasize this very much, especially since their origin as souls shows it.

Bael, the original reincarnation of Urd, effectively committed suicide, choosing to live in Hell only to be with Paimon, his brother.

Through suicide, Bael condemned himself to live as a soul on earth, in this prison system, of hell, as I said.

This proves what I am saying, that for Urd it does not matter what happens around, what he does, what Rígr does. He can actually live in Hell. His only wish is for his brother to be by his side.

Because Rígr represents his stability, his family, his security. That is how far Urd's devotion to Rígr goes. That is how he is as a person, as a soul.

This is the reason why I do not find it forced, or strange, that Urd chose to welcome Rígr back, or follow his plan. Because, again, what upset him was his brother's departure. If the brother returns and his desire is to have the brother by his side, is it not natural to welcome him back?

I am sure Urd was waiting for Rígr and that he would have accepted him back anytime. He just wants to have his brother by his side.

Furthermore, Urd knows well, very well why Rígr left. It is not an unrealistic or selfish reason in the middle. Yes, it is about Sika's abandonment, Rígr's trauma of being abandoned. But more than that, Rígr become aware of some objectively true aspects of their world. Sika's abandonment lets him see these realities.

That all is just an illusion.

More importantly, the world Sika gave them to protect is a broken one.

Look here, as Rígr says that he and Urd were forced to vow that they will guard the world. An already rotten, broken, cursed world.

That is why Rígr says that the world has already been destroyed enough.

And his whole plan of a thousand years is not just his attempt to be recognized by Sika, but actually a fight to protect this broken world against Sika.

Why am I saying this?

Because if Rígr did not leave and create the Hyakuya Sect, the world would be totally destroyed right now. The apocalypse was happening anyway for Sika's plan, for Mikaela's resurrection. All humans were dying, all vampires were dying for it. Everything was ending.

But Rígr fought back against this world-destroying trajectory.

Guren, Mahiru, Shinoa, Yuichiro, including Ferid, are all results of his plan to fight back against the total destruction that Sika wanted to bring upon the world.

And if you ask me, I am sure it was traumatic for Rígr, who was only a young man (actually in the novel it is said he is around 19-20 physically) to be subjected, forced to protect a world already destroyed.

Especially since Rígr sees reality very well, its lack of meaning. He is an idealist. And his way of loving is to try to create a good world for his loved ones.

Exactly what he is currently doing.

Exactly what he is saying here, that everything is an attempt to protect the world.

In fact, to make a better world for his loved ones.

Here comes the contrast between Urd and Rígr.

Urd is the type of person who shows his love by actually being around his loved ones, even if the world around them is hell. And Rígr is the one who gives his all to create a better world for his loved ones, an ideal world with meaning, to save them from that Hell.

To me, no perspective is better than the other. The way they both feel is valid.

That is why I consider it natural the way their reconciliation took place.

Basically, Urd is glad to have his brother by his side. He understands what his brother wants to do, he respects Rígr.

" You needn't do it alone.

We'll protect world order together. "

And Rígr finally has someone to share the burden of changing the world for the better.

Now, if I am still analyzing, I would also mention the similarity between Rígr and Ferid.

They are both idealists, who see the meaningless reality of the broken world they live in, and give everything to change it. Not related to your question. But I think that is one reason why they got attached to each other, because they have the same way of thinking and feeling. And perhaps one of the reasons why Urd seems to reject Ferid. For he reminds him of his brother's mentality that led to their separation.

I could elaborate a lot on this, but I will stop here. Maybe I will write an analysis about the similarities between Rígr and Ferid, if anyone is interested.

Back to our analysis now…

As I said, Urd was furious about his brother's leaving. All he ever wanted was for Rígr to be by his side no matter what they did. He knows why Rígr left, that he wants to create a "better world" including for him. He knows that this is his brother, that this is Rígr's nature.

Furthermore, Rígr's forgiveness from Urd in chapter 114, comes after Rígr held Sika accountable for the mess he brought to everyone. This is just confirmation that Rígr is fighting for Urd, for vampires, for normality, in fact, that he cares.

For this reason, I think the Urd's forgiveness of Rígr is quite natural.

His brother whose presence he always wanted is back and now he can help him with his useful plan to save what is left of the world, to give everyone an honorable, meaningful ending.

Perhaps Urd has waited a thousand years to be able to help his brother and now he has the opportunity to do so.

Now, I think there are some communication issues between the two. Both are very emotionally closed people.

Still, what is admirable from my perspective is the fact that they really know each other, they know what is in each other's soul, and I think that is precisely why the long time they were separated does not matter. Because they know what is in each other's heart and their brotherly love is genuine. One that transcends any distance of time, or external conflicts, and I think the author has shown this well about them.

That is for now. More can be discussed about their bond. I think the way everything was portrayed shows the essence of each of them well.

I am open to feedback. Elaborate, if you wish, on how you feel it would have been better for their emotions to be highlighted. It would be fascinating to read such an opinion.

And maybe what you are saying, though, has to do with the lack of inner monologues in the manga. This is a deliberate decision by the author. It is something that Kagami decided from the beginning not to offer and maybe that is why, especially in the case of emotionally closed characters (like the two wonderful brothers we are talking about ), a re-reading of the scenes and a deep analysis of the whole picture is necessary to understand the context well.

This is what I think.

Thank you again for your trust. I feel like I wrote chaotically again, but I hope my answer was at least a little helpful!

Thanks for reading and have a good day to whoever finds this post!

we need more fanfics with ferid. your writings are so beautiful, you can actually capture their feelings accurately (I'm talking about your oc and Ferid). i hope you won't leave this platform again because very few people can have this talent to write so beautifully (and first of all, to understand the ons universe and Ferid especially).

Hello!

This message made my day in a way. Thank you very much, I say it with all my heart.

But what made you write it? I am honestly curious. What made you feel like I would leave this platform? I sense some concern in your message. If you want to talk about it, please write me.

As for your request so beautifully said, honestly I have not felt the need to write in English very much recently.

In my native language I have written several dozen sketches in the last few weeks, but I still have not had that time to write as I would like. It is true that the type of works I aim for and that represent me require a lot of time and patience.

But that is why I did not post "more" in this aspect here either.

Plus I had this realization that I prefer a "more private relationship" with the author's writings and my ideas. I mean, I can neither write in the 'x reader' format, nor publish any type of fanfics very often, because I feel that I am becoming a kind of 'brand' this way. I know, it sounds weird, and I do not pretend anyone to understand my little drama here.

The point is that I need to write extremely authentically and organically what I feel about OnS and Ferid. And I want to give everything to develop the version I worked on with my original character, and write Ferid as authentically and humanly as possible. That takes time and listening a lot to what I feel like doing at a given moment.

What is certain is that I love to canonically analyze the story, Ferid, and that will not change. I love sharing insights here. I feel it is an honorable way to express the gratitude I feel for the author who created this wonderful story.

Although, honestly, sometimes the feedback here is so non-existent. For this very reason, perhaps, I prefer to write only when and what I feel. I will probably be more like a researcher presenting her "studies" (canonical analyses) in a corner of the internet. (I already am like this )

Otherwise, thank you very much. As I said, the feedback is almost zero here, in general. You do not know how much your words mean about my writings. I am aware that I have an ability to realistically paint the emotions of the characters, and that I understand quite well what I write (OnS universe, Ferid), but to hear this from someone else, it feels very good because that is my goal.

I love OnS, Ferid, Takaya Kagami's work and my desire is not just to fantasize some ideas, but to manage to keep the author's original message in which I find myself very much. And if it feels that way for someone else, I can only be happy.

Thanks again.

Especially, I have only posted one ff writing so far. And if even so I could make you feel something, I am glad.

I am not going to disappear from here. Honestly, nothing in this fandom can bother me now. I am at the point where I love and admire the canon material so much that I just want to enjoy this wonderful story. I am really not looking to prove anything, to convince anyone, not at all. I feel that the canon material is self-explanatory enough that anyone who really wants to understand OnS can do so.

I just want to enjoy this wonderful work. And I am always happy when I find other people who want the same thing, just like you!

Thank you very much, I say it again. I promise to post ffs as I feel like it. I know there is a huge lack of fanfic writings for Ferid, but I think the way we really appreciate him (even if we are few) makes up for it.

I wish you a very good day and you can always write in my inbox! You and anyone else who loves this story as much as I do!

I was thinking how, in his childhood, Ferid always ran away from the royal court, "escaping" to read whatever books he could get his hands on.

To read for hours in the grass of the field and then look at the sky.

Two activities that show so well his need for the ideal, Ferid's search for Truth, his dreamy nature, beyond the sharp realism of his mind.

Even as a vampire in the present, it is mentioned how Ferid reads for hours every day.

How well this epitomizes the essence of him.

Books are often a pleasant land for those seeking answers, ideals, for dreamers and for seekers of the Truth.

Exactly what, for so long, Ferid has been looking for: a solution, a good Truth for his world truly created from a curse.

And how heartbreaking that no matter how many books Ferid read as a child, or as an adult, he could not find that Truth, a tangible solution to his problem.

As a child, I imagine his despair at not being capable to find the answer in any of the many books he read, not being able to take refuge in the realm between the pages of any of those book.

As an adult and a vampire, faced with the same reality he has been aware of for a thousand years, after reading so many other books, he still can not find that solution there.

In the end, he will have to create his own solution, meaning.

And Ferid really does, he gives his all for it.

Ah, the depth of this character is so pleasant to look at and feel. I can not explain how much I love my bookworm Ferid.

I always thank the author for creating him.

I have organized my entire wardrobe and these dresses no longer fit in the closet. I placed them like this and from my armchair, where I am sitting now, it really is a charming picture.

This is how I dress everyday. My entire wardrobe consists only of dresses/skirts + shirts in vintage and antique style. It is a way of living at this point.

( I remember the anon who asked me what things I am interested in. So here we are. )

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.

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.

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!

I'm the anon who asked for hcs with ferid in intimate moments. I also think that such labels as 'vanilla' or bdsm don't fit him, I don't think that he would care about this stuff, and neither do I. But I couldn't find any better words to describe what I wanted to say. I also didn't want to write a long essay about it lol. I am curious about vampires' nature and how their emotions work.

First of all, I thought that you are a reliable person that can actually see Ferid for who he is. I also knew from the beginning, when I started reading the manga, that Ferid, and many other characters, aren't how the fandom perceives them as. It is sad how so many characters in such amazing mangas and animes get so misunderstood by the whole fandom. I knew that Ferid had many 'secrets' and that everything he shows to the world is simply a facade. I knew that he had hidden motives and he may be an antihero. I understood that he was actually a lonely and generous soul, besides all his masks that he puts on to hide this vulnerability of his. I don't want to write an essay about him, so I'll just say that I agree with everything that you write about him.

Second of all, because I realized that there's finally another person that can really understand these characters in OnS, I decided that it is best to ask for your opinion on this matter, since it confused me. I thought for a long time that all vampires are asexual, but I saw how many vampires in ons break the stereotypes of vampires in their universe. So I've been wondering for a while if Ferid can also feel lust. I like your writings and your perspective about him. I can also feel that you genuinely love Ferid, even if he's fictional, because of how much of your soul you put in these analyses and stories. I guess that the Seraph of the End fandom perceives Ferid like how so many other people in the ons universe view him as. That's why so many characters in OnS are driven to do something for their love for someone, but Ferid may be the only character who REALLY was unloved, alone and misunderstood his entire life. I sometimes wish that Kagami would add a love interest for Ferid that could understand and love him, even if the manga is not about romantic love, rather about familial love.

But it's worse when you're a ferid kinnie and the fandom also thinks that you kin him for being 'creepy' and a clown with daddy issues. LIKE WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS FANDOM?? I am part of many fandoms but this fandom is the worst one that I have ever been in. If I were Kagami and I saw how this fandom is, I would honestly kms. So much effort is put into these writings of Kagami, only to be misunderstood and fetishized by the whole fandom.

Hello!

Honestly, I did not expect to receive such a message. Usually, the feedback here is non-existent. I can say that it is one of the most beautiful surprises of my existence on tumblr. Thank you!

I prefer this type of communication, where people who read this blog talk openly and honestly with me, saying exactly what they think, what they like about what I write, or what they love about this series. Or, last but not least, what frustrates them about fandom.

Maybe it is because that is how I feel a real human interaction here, or maybe I just love discussing everything in depth!

Do not worry about using those terms. I have a very long opinion about the origin of "BDSM", or the way today's society influences such labels. All I can say is that, as you pointed out, I do not see Ferid falling into such "mechanical" labels.

I do not see many characters being into these labels, honestly. But I guess it is easier to classify characters under such categories in a black-and-white fashion.

To touch more on the topic you opened in the previous question, about what Ferid would be like intimately, I deeply emphasize his need to live truly, authentically and freely, as who he really is.

That is why I think he manifests very naturally and organically from an erotic perspective and just loves passionately, as it is said. Showing his real personality, being vulnerable. Love for him must be genuine.

Perhaps many do not notice this. But this character has extraordinarily sharp and objectively correct discernment.

For Ferid, good is good, bad is bad. His understanding of the world and values is not distorted. That is precisely why he is so angry that his world, including his soul, is created from darkness, from a curse, a putrid origin. Because he realizes well what normality would be, something that does not exist in OnS. And he longs for this good and harmonious ideal.

That is why he is so frustrated and angry at those who should have given him genuine love: his parents, his older brother, Rígr. Remember how he tells Rígr, in their discussion in chapter 91, how he believes it is a father's duty to teach his son "the meaning of life". And beyond any irony, Ferid is right. It is the duty of the parents, the older brothers, the figures who have authority and responsibility over the little ones to genuinely love and care for them.

But Ferid was only objectified and used by all these people who played a fatal role in his existence, especially considering that he was a child, or at most a teenager when he interacted with them, meaning that he was an extremely impressionable being, an easily marked, vulnerable one.

And on the principle of his own universe, he tries to pay back all these people. Revenge is not something that makes him happy, given the ideal of a good universe that he would like, so he suffers.

But this tangibly demonstrates how Ferid knows what true love is, but has never met it. He tries to create it, going so far as to change the rotten origin of the universe that created his soul and holds him captive.

For me, this shows a special nobility of soul, a huge potential that Ferid has.

That is why I believe that if Ferid met genuine love, especially romantic, erotic love, he would give everything for it.

Of course, it is a situation he never encountered before, and he needs some time to get used to it.

That is why I described him in the previous answer as appearing "frozen" sometimes, stiff.

But if she truly loves him, Ferid opens up and resolutely offers a love of the same kind.

Ferid needs to be seen as human. A human person is not a label. How Ferid is not a label. A human person has a complexity of nuances, a paradox of experiences and feelings. Perhaps the hardest thing is seeing someone as human, not projecting your expectations onto them and just understanding that person.

In his love for his beloved woman, Ferid could be seen thus, humanly, in his complex reality with all the nuances. And he would see her that way too.

For the first time, he, who always truly reads people, would find something so harmonious in her being: the ability to be seen as himself through someone's eyes.

That is why I mentioned in several of my posts how Ferid would love to look into her eyes. Because her gaze would remind him of the sky, the place where he always looked for love and got no answer. But in that " sky " beyond her vivid, warm eyes, he now finds all he has sought all his life.

That is why I think that the way he would make love to her, how he would "be in bed" would be deeply derived from the way he loves her and how he feels loved by her.

I think it can be called "adoring" the way Ferid would make love to her. The way I portray every such scene with him in my mind is extremely organic, natural.

Their erotic intimacy would be a dive into the very lives of both.

It is precisely for this reason I see that Ferid has this tenderness and meticulous care for her. And at the same time that he leads her and is so dynamic.

Ferid simultaneously offers his sensitive fragility, his determined ability of leading to his woman. All in a lively, passionate form.

Thus I see that his every touch is so " consistent", " decided ".

It feels like a true dedication to her, how Ferid gives everything to their love, and I think this topic could be fleshed out more by me.

How the way Ferid touches his woman gives her safety and symbolizes how his true potential is given to a cause that makes Ferid truly happy. Why she loves him.

Why she loves Ferid Bathory, why she is melted in her intimacy with Ferid Bathory.

This subject is almost never touched upon in the writings of a fandom.

And that can lead us to what you were saying, why you love this character, why I love him.

I believe that the author of OnS has created vivid characters. Each character has a real human consistency. They are organically written, realistic for their contexts. That is why I think that each character can be admired, if we try to understand them as human beings in their universe.

I, at least, look at Kagami's works from a writer's point of view. I analyze literary, what were the intentions of the writer. Maybe that is why I also see these characters as living human entities in their fictional universe.

And I try to understand them like this. Before romanticizing, forming a romantic attachment, or a fantasy, I am focused on humanly understanding these characters and keeping their "living breath" further in what I write and analyze.

I think this is necessary in the understanding of some literary characters, especially when they are penciled in this way by the author.

Now, as I said, everyone understands everything as they can and as they want.

There was a time when I was so saddened by what you say, that the fandom does not understand any of the author's message. But I have realized that I had rather enjoy what I love than discuss what other people's opinions are.

Especially, Kagami said something that impressed me. He said how he never imagines "the voice of the fans" when he writes and that he is not interested in writing anything popular. He also said that he only writes from his heart, exactly what he feels and that he will always do only that, and how he strongly believes that if he does that, he will find his niche of readers.

There is a saying in my native language, "what comes from the heart touches the heart" and I think it is very appropriate for Kagami and OnS.

The author writes from the heart and his writings touch some hearts, as he touched mine, or yours.

This is nice and motivating enough for me so I can just enjoy this series that I love and ignore any unpleasant opinions of some strangers online.

At the end of the day, fandom does not define a series. As I said before, the canon material does not change. It is always there for those who want to read it, reread it, analyze it.

Thank you for answering me. It really means a lot. And yes, I can say "I love" Ferid, even if he is fictional. I love the humanity of the character and the way I can feel him "alive" in his universe. The way I can even discover myself, understanding him, and growing as a person, developing my soul and mind. This is what I do with Ferid, with this series, and I consider that the author has achieved his purpose as a writer with me!

In the end, you are right. It is ironic and sad how many in the fandom see Ferid just like most in his universe, but maybe that is the charm of this deep character.

Do not forget, he is named " unparalleled ".

Everyone in OnS does anything for the ones they love. But Ferid wants to change the very putrid origin of the world, the laws of the universe that created people out of hatred, just to have harmony, a real meaning, authentic love.

This universe has been corrupted since its creation, humanity is cursed and trapped as in Hell, and Ferid wants to solve this vicious circle, to break it.

I think this shows the nobility of this character, that he really is "one of a kind". And even though I wish he had someone to truly love him, I understand and appreciate the author's intent. The hidden nobility in Ferid's tragedy is something truly beautiful to me.

I would go into more detail about how Ferid would love his woman, how he would make love to her. But I feel like my essay is getting too long.

Please write me any questions you have. Just like that, just like now. I will gladly answer.

I think we can have some fascinating discussions!

Thank you so much for this heartfelt message!

Have a nice day to you and whoever finds this post!
