Sun

The Sun is a celestial body in Seraph of the End, and throughout history it is not one overlooked as events occur. It plays a particular role in the context of being a physical location of importance to specific individuals.

Details
The sunlight helps maintain Earth as it is even after the Catastrophe event which affected the planet in a one-time colossal disaster. While the Sun's energy has no visible effect on monsters such as Horsemen of the Apocalypse, it notably does impair vampires to a great extent. On account of the sun, vampires must wear bands usually on their arms to avoid physical injury. At its most extreme, vampires can promptly burst into flames due to sunlight. This is something Krul Tepes and Ferid Bathory experienced when they were sentenced to what was a punishment of sunlight exposure torture by Urd Geales. Where vampires are greatly affected by the sun, demons are not at all where they can in fact stare directly at it.

History
In prehistorical times, when Sika Madu was occupying the Tower of Babel situated within a seraph civilization he was accessing information on darkening the Sun's power. Entities of some sort were aware of the Sun's position relative to other celestial objects at this time. Where towers were being built an illustration included the Sun among other planets. In thanking seraphs, Sika Madu announced their Earth kingdom was much closer to returning to the Sun where God awaited on a throne. This was referred to as paradise.

Around one thousand years ago from present times, when Ashera Tepes was a human he was able to gaze directly into the Sun. As a vampire during the dark ages of Greece, Ashera expressed a dislike of the Sun. Sika Madu did as well for an association with being blamed for crimes and made into what he is now.

Story
Although the links if any are uncertain, Black Suns partially share their name, and it what Asuramaru regarded when Mika was transforming into a demon.

While memory delving, both Yu and Mika wonder what Sika Madu means by paradise as they contemplate the Sun. As Mika wonders whether it is literal, he is able to look directly at it. Where the Sun shines overhead in the memory, Yu finds it is so bright and shields his eyes.
