User blog comment:AquilaeAltair/OnS Theories. Second Theory (S3) - The Michaela Trait in Ashera and Krul Tepes/@comment-36009152-20190608224655

Confused, definitely XD where to start, uncertain if Sika Madu has had Yu around for 600 years with him to find those compatible with his blood. Not sure if Sika Madu had already attained his own powers, then created Urd, Rigr and then Yu as part of his own experiments.

Then there is also how Sika Madu acquired his own powers to begin with, he is not being remembered as a human before the transformation in Asuramaru’s memories. Even back then he was fully equipped with seraph wings, oh and he has been at his plots 600 years before the time period during the dark ages of Greece. At least a lot can be explained with Yu, he has had procedures on him that would definitely explain the memory issues.

Will just provide the point for other readers, that it was the case in Chapter 79 that Ashera ingested Yu’s blood which allowed him to endure an all but certain demise. To finalise the transformation, Sika Madu gave Ashera the option of drinking either his own, or Yu’s blood and it was the latter that Ashera survived.

That now makes sense with your theory, if Sika Madu has been doing this for 600 years, he should be getting the hint that people ingesting Yu’s blood and surviving is just not going to happen (Urd and Rigr are linked to Sika Madu himself rather than Yu). So despite his calm reaction to what should be a thrilling literally a once in a 600-year event, Sika Madu contained his presumed excitement but with this view he was also purposely doing these experiments to find those with the Michaela trait. Regular humans cannot survive, as 600 years worth of experiments demonstrate so kind of confirmation it would have to be someone with actual inner power.

Also just to point out, think Yu may be stronger in the long run. Sika Madu is more powerful right now obviously being an adult who can control his power; Yu is like a seraph larval stage. Similar with his one wing form the level of control affects it, but anyway Sika Madu imbued Ashera with the stronger Yu blood, really don’t think he would finally come across the person he was after to give it a third rate (in comparison) power up!

Another just at this point thing, it may be the Michaela trait that allowed Ashera to survive, he may have also survived as you say because of a certain connection with Yu’s DNA. They may very well have something in common – they could be biologically related! It’s not too far off with their physical appearance, but it is their compatibility blood and spiritual wise in terms of the cursed gear. The other indirect clue is Mika is related to Krul by blood, and with Mika and Yu being parallel, so too could Yu have a blood relation to Krul’s parallel in Asuramaru. Though the dots are not fully connected yet, we can still have a clue of what the overall image is and this could be it!

The two against the world with Mika and Yu can eventually, starting around now really, become a four against the world. In the sense if they all share the Michaela trait since as you suggested it can be present in Krul as well. Then that may be what is needed to deal with Shikama Doji, Saito, Guren, oh my gosh, anyone. Note to series, bring Guren back!

As exploitative and ill it was, on Ferid drinking the blood more than likely he would be able to taste anything Michaela or anything else within Mika’s blood. Though just as likely he was already aware of the significance of Mika from Guren and was just liking the taste of it. Maybe the same for Krul though it is possible that unlike Ferid, Krul would not know the significance of what was in the blood. If Krul possesses the Michaela trait, like Ashera she may not actually have a clue. A problem in that it could be for other individuals to exploit.

Suggested a sibling relationship between Ashera and Yu as the reason why the former could survive the transformation yet possessing the Mikaela trait makes more sense especially with Krul. Good points about that more than likely affording a resistance to the first in other ways. If it is certain the evidence is with Ferid and Crowley as well, that puts Mika in good stead too. On Mika, would wager he has additional resistances to the first in that Mika is extraordinarily strong willed to begin with. Unlike most he also has someone important to him who will always hold greater sway over him than any lulling voice of the first.

Would also agree that if Ashera has the Michaela trait so too does Krul by way of being related, and Seraph of the End emphasises counterparts in characters. In universe, these Michaela holders would have a route to ally with Rigr since he has his own plans against the first, and guess who is also out against Shikama Doji? Why, none other than Krul!
