Seems you have inspired others to add their own detailed insights!

With Shikama Doji having aspects of all three major players, vampires, demons and seraphs (and practically only appearing human) it is a huge question why he feels the need to have a host at all really considering his strength, more so now with being more awakened.

That’s the thing as well, though certainly attractive in every sense of the word, which no one can deny (which obviously makes it fact) Shikama Doji is something more than a fallen angel. With what Sika Madu was bringing to the playground even in the past, he’s a different beast in his own right and lurve it so. B)

Sika Madu doesn’t necessarily have to be a seraph, with a god, sun one as well feasibly out there, he may be a unique kind of divine(ly beautiful) being, if  he began as that at all. Dabbling in what was deemed to be taboo suggests a human running afoul of this god’s sense of order. Then the cursing, and maybe a motive to deal with something possibly fickle and blood thirsty was developed by Sika Madu.

How a regular human could have had knowledge in a setting deliberately shown to be scarce in intellect (made a great show of making it clear it’s certainly not the enlightened ages XD ) such as working on or with a substance that can temper a seraph is anyone’s guess. Here’s one though: Sika Madu acquired this knowledge from a different god to fight the one he see’s as a menace. What is more he may have began with some higher powers, changing to vampires, demons and so forth, characters need inner strength to do such things and as matter of fact it does depend what is literally within them. Yu being an example with his experimented on genes granting him an easier time with wielding his black demon cursed gear. Mika as well, his power is directly tied to having Krul’s blood in him granting vampire strength, from a very high ranking noble as well.

Haha, all the signs for definitely not shipping, their like ballistic turrets in case anyone even envisions a ship XD but Yu’s impact on Shinoa story wise is something to note, Shinoa doesn’t feel things for just anyone. Just awful that her new emotions are being exploited, and when Shikama Doji dealt his real hand he instantly set on turning Shinoa into a vampire, presumably to make it easier to possess her. Now she may be as well be a demon both in ability and appearance – disturbingly characters are not reacting to Shinoa’s presence which as was discussed raised the issue of whether in world they can even see her.

Acquiring new cursed gears would be a potent ability to make Shikama Doji even stronger, and the first sure loves his power. So yes an asset to help him achieve that end is a good guess! As every a lovely amount of details you added and all good things to observe and comment on until the day hopefully comes that we gain the answers we need, nicely done!
