Chapter 78 is incoming! With it concluding with Asuramaru last time, this could switch to Shinoa - both characters who are closely tied with Yu.

Another excellent theory on what to possibly expect with the information we have to go on. The opposite is expected though, Yu and Asuramaru have already tried fighting Shikama, and of course we know a Yu of the past was beside the first. They will not fight, the Hyakuya Sect kidnapped Yu not really to defend him, but themselves from Yu's self. Regaining their memories the unthinkable may happen, Yu and Asuramaru will join Shikama Doji!

Out of all characters those three have the closest ties with history and incredibly grand schemes planned together. With the first compromised, it is his companions who need their memories returned to resume whatever goals he planned in the past. All the more easy to do since Shinoa is involved as well.

If Shikama Doji is firmly set in these plots, Shinoa has no concern of possession, Shikama is out for different plans not just to possess a human so fully delving into her desires is no longer off limits. That still does not stop it being a problem if they both deem Mika, and the higher ups as a problem to be dealt with lethally, especially with the newfound power :O

No way ever can Mika be a side character who just exists to give the protagonist his happy ending "I'm Mika I passed away in this story for real but it's good so long as my special one is happy". Never, Mika is on par with Yu, a central character in his own right and Mika deserves his own happiness and living to enjoy it, the most of anyone in this series. The humans, looking at Guren need to try extra hard to break down the barriers, anything has got to give so that Mika can be happy like the humans.

So yes Yu ending with Mika is what it deserved and is all best, and yet now with memories returning, and that it is very unlikely Yu would resume a fight against a foe he cannot actually defeat, not even counting his kidnap... Now there is the possibility that Yu will return to Shikama's side, and end up with who he started with: Yu ending up with the first!
