It is not something that can be out ruled! Sure Shikama may be a god in others eyes, but only in the same way a human is god to an ant. Like the rest of vampires, demons, the lot, Shikama Doji may just be an exceptionally powerful creature in his own right. Let's not forget his state within a scythe, anything could be lurking within Mitsuba's gigantic... real gigantic actually, if like the scythe the physical size is an indication of inner power.

If truly an all-powerful unstoppable deity, at first, as Kureto proclaimed even if god himself is their enemy, human kind will defeat him here. And how? Well same as creating cursed gear to deal with the whole vampire problem, to even using man made constructs to not defeat but control the Seraphs. Cannot as of yet defeat Shikama, cannot control him, he controls you, oh and most of your entire family lineage!

So how exactly is one able to fend off an all controlling, horrifyingly powerful god? Easy! Trust someone in this series to step it up a notch by forging one god to defeat another, cue Tenjiryu!

If your theory comes to pass, there just happens to be another family cursing monster floating about. This one may have been fused with modern technology – Mitsuba’s very modern looking axe and hey presto if the need arises there is at least something of a bulwark against ones whole god is flying about with scythes killing everything problem.

Tenjiryu, however powerful could also be counted on not to simply ally with Shikama. Unlike vampires of all ranks, I would not think demons would be inclined towards allegiances, they just want to possess humans all for themselves forget sharing and working together.

Good point though, if this Sangu family curse is Tenjiryu, who happens to be as strong as Mr I founded all vampires. I was thinking Tenjiryu would not be as powerful if only because the Sangu family follow the Hiragi family, not the other way round. Or if Tenjiryu has been forged into something else, like vampires can change into demons, can ancient demons change into something beyond that? When I mentioned Shikama would be aware of this plan if Tenri orchestrated it, what if Saito or someone was arranging war against the Hiragi family, and had plans to have something like Tenjiryu to activate when the time is right. Though rather awkwardly Shikama is attacking them all, Saito and the Hyakuya Sect see the Japanese Demon Army as his puppets. They would not rise to attack unless they though they could win so they do have something in store.

Whatever the case, yes Shikama finds everything a giggle so when and if he even meets his match we will still have a whole other problem of Shikama fighting seriously, without or without Shinoa as his vessel.

Similarly, cannot outrule that Aoi has not been possessed maybe all along, I shall not believe it until it is outright confirmed or denied XD Shinya himself hadn’t a clue that his best friend Guren was occasionally possessed several times a day or something. Tenjiryu would have had Mitsuba choose them as the weapon knowing that Aoi as another Sangu family member is already under control. Meanwhile a permanently possessed Aoi is wandering around with people none the wiser.

The story does show Shinya and Guren and how they changed for the better. I mean Shinya and Guren were murdering their fellow classmates left right and centre in a school without the best health and safety policies XD Yes going from being ruthless killers because that is how they are raised is nice and all, but why show Aoi as she has ever been? Because she was and remains possessed from the start?

The stage does seem set for Mitsuba to take action, well hope she can anyway, there really is no one else! It just so happens the extreme conditions for deeper possession are present. A very real concern of losing a squad member, and Mitsuba likely feeling it was her fault again since she was the only one there and powerless to prevent something bad befalling her squad mate with Yu being kidnapped. Just as lust was something for Shinoa, maybe this pure unadulterated fear may be what is needed to unlock Tenjiryu’s true power during this trying time.

‘Friendly’ is one word, like when she friendlily ran up to Shinoa weapon drawn upon learning that she was the squad leader. Oh, and who can forget attempting to roundhouse kick Yu by way of introduction XD Still yes, her heart is in the right place and Mitsuba of all people knows what it takes to survive. She is on her own but I do trust Mitsuba with helping Yu, though she will require greater power.

Yes, Kureto makes it his business to know everything and has a direct line to Mitsuba through her elder sister being in his employ. Yet I wonder how handy that really is, if Aoi is possessed, or not been in contact with her sister for a while. That is a good point about Mitsuba’s reactions, whilst Kureto and Aoi may not know something about Mitsuba, she could know something about them! Whatever is going to transpire with Mitsuba and her demon, perhaps she alone is ready for what happens.
