    About the whole "Michaela being killed by Ney instead of Allen", I'm pretty sure that was just a retcon. Originally, Allen was indeed the killer, giving him a much deeper character, one that killed his love instead of finding his love _almost_ dead in the well she was hidden in. Though I'm pretty sure we already discussed that at some point and you're just leaving it out for simplicity's sake.
    As a fan of Riliane since day one, five months before I even decided to touch Servant of Evil due to fear of the feelings (spoilers: the fear was very justified), I gotta say that this answer song brings me to tears almost every time. Not because I relate to Allen, but because, even if all of his actions like killing Leonhart etc etc just increased Riliane's ego, he thought he was doing the right thing. He thought he was protecting her. And in a sense, he was. But then the entire rebellion arc happens, and we finally see Riliane grow up. Servant of Evil is what made Regret Message and Blink possible. I couldn't wish for a better end... is what I would say, but a) mothy will never finish Story of Evil b) I COULD DEFINITELY WISH FOR A BETTER ENDING.
    Also daily reminder that Riliane, as a Sinner, could not be killed by anything but another Vessel of Sin, which means the guillotine wouldn't have killed her. Granted, Prim would somehow find a way like the petty loser that she is, but still.

      Hey, late reply better than never reply!
      That part is actually just a joke based on him uncanonizing The Letter She Kept Waiting For, and one that doesn't even work anymore. Not only has mothy finished Story of Evil (at least the core), he also finished all of Evillious. Around a month after that comment, he released the Master of the Heavenly Yard PV which showed us the Heavenly Ending and connected Ten Minute Love to Evillious. Granted, this was already known, but still.
      There is also the Clockwork Lullaby album he released at C94, which introduces Clockwork Lullabies 10-12, as well as remastered versions of most of the others, and you can hear the crossfade on his channel ua-cam.com/channels/SmHk3xH3nkWqF0nm9z2-2Q.html.
      Of course, we probably will still see more content in the future, but nothing as major as MotHeavenlyY.

    As an Evillious fan and having it as a special interest, I do love Allen across the songs, especially in Master of the Heavenly Yard, one of the last songs in Evillious. Spoilers for the end of Evillious here.
    So in Master of the Heavenly Yard, Allen, when forced to choose between either saving the world or Riliane, sings these lines:
    “Just what in the world is evil?”
    Those are someone’s words
    All people are greedy
    Because I myself am the same
    The world and you; I will obtain both
    Now I *know* MotHeY wasn’t released when this analysis came out but I think it does bring out a lot to Allen’s character. He’s still loyal to Riliane but he has awareness for others still. He has spent *centuries* searching for her, and has only now reunited with her. For reference for those of you haven’t listened to Evillious as a whole, Allen spends time in a Black Box after his death, reincarnates into Kokutan-douji and tries to find Riliane, now reincarnated as Rin Miroku. However Rin is murdered before Kokutan-douji finds her. He soon returns back to the Heavenly Yard, and thus the events of MotHeY begin. He finds Riliane ultimately but she is possessed by MA and MA is trying to destroy the world. Of course, Allen attempts to stop her, but when Adam & Eve initiate a re_birthday Gammon tells him that if he wants to save the world, he will have to kill Riliane - the host body of MA. Allen refuses to, and manages to get Riliane unpossessed while “killing” MA with help from Nemesis.
    Anyway you can see how Allen really changes over time. He knows humanity’s faults very well having witnessed them over the centuries but is still willing to do what is right and take a third option to make sure his sister is safe. Allen’s last lines in the song also hint at this, and I shall end with those.
    “It’s alright because I will protect you unconditionally
    The world isn’t our enemy anymore
    Come, let’s join hands
    Let’s move forward
    For the new world and for you
    Here, look at the sky
    The world is a mirror that reflects the moon
    It is time for you who is looking our way
    From beyond there to awaken”

    I've read the novel. I think Ney (Neru) killed Michaela, and as far as I remember when Allen arrived where he was supposed to meet Michaela, she was already dead. But the one I know Allen killed is his adoptive Father, he also confessed this to Germaine while he was in prison.
    And Allen did crimes for his sister, I think he deserved being beheaded as consequences of his actions. Just the story itself is sad

    If we considered that Allen is the that killed Michaela i the song,I'll say that this song is the story that he told oth Kyle and Germaine when they were visiting him in the prison.He told Kyle that he killed Michaela so that he won't go after his sister
    But honestly though,I technnically dont think that Riliane is the one who killed her either.If I remember this right,it is techically Prim Marlon cause you know,Kyle.Its undenaiable that Riliane causes the green haunting so part of was her own fault as well.

Bless mothy for teaching me such a wonderful lesson and thank you for telling the lesson's story.

    From what I can tell after watching daughter of evil, servant of evil, that one that takes place after servant of evil and daughter of white, I have come to the conclusion that the story ends there, no matter how many songs have been made and novels have been written. Idk, the more I look at the other pieces of story, the more,, tainted the original story, the tragedy of a boy who would do anything for his sister, becomes. It shouldn't be supernatural, or full of different people, all with their own roles, or chocked full of retcons. Ofc anyone is free to state the case for these other stories.

    • @tutterbear98
      @tutterbear98 5 років тому +15

      Update I change my mind I'm adding re_birthday to my list of canon because that is objectively a great idea. Probably goes into the face of all the story actually does (comments on the MV for the song imply its not canon anyway), but I don't care much I'm adopting that song it is mine now.

    • @YourPlaywright
      @YourPlaywright 2 роки тому +9

      that’s why i like the way it’s split up, in which The Story of Evil is both a standalone thing with the songs and ties into the greater narrative of the wider story being told in the chronicles. i think it stops working as well when supernatural elements are introduced and the other components aren’t there (ie, using the demon of pride as why actions are made yet not referencing the other stories in the Seven Sins series) really confuses the story.
      cheers!

      @@YourPlaywrightnot to be that guy, but actually Clarith almost killed Riliane in Daughter of White due to the vessel of wrath egging her on, and especially in the stories surrounding Kyle where not only does he get possessed by pride but also lust and then sees Ney try to undergo a demonic transformation into the demon of gluttony (Banica Conchita)
      To me I sort of find the story all the more tragic if Riliane’s actions weren’t entirely her fault. She was already just a kid having to rule over a kingdom but adding on the influence of a demon of pride bolstering her self importance and selfishness to incredibly high levels adds to it all for me. Her selfishness wasn’t by her own fault or design but rather an outside influence using her for its own gain and that makes her and Allen’s story all the sadder to me
      Take this with a grain of salt tho I’m not telling you what you should or shouldn’t think I’m just an autistic dude with a special interest on the internet being silly and goofy

    Also Allen and Riliane when they were still together before being seperated met the demon of gluttony (Banica Conchita) and this demon wanted the snacks that Allen and Riliane had. Riliane, being stubborn, didnt accept, but Allen, pitying it, shared his snack with the demon. The demon, thanking Allen for his generosity, had told him a secret of the sea (being putting a wish on a paper in a bottle and throwing it at the sea, can might be granted, which plays part in Regret Message). Afterwards, even if the demon was supposedly possess Allen, in Prim's plan, the demon possesses Riliane instead, whichRiliane became chaotically hungry until the sorceress Elluka had removed the demon from Riliane. Also, Riliane's tyrant personanlity is yes, because of her actual personnality, but also she was possessed by the demon of pride (i forgot how)

    It takes away any guilt for len not have killed michela. He literally states " if you are evil then im evil too because when have the same blood."

  • @StrategicGamesEtc

    As was alluded to in the video, I think a large part of what makes Ren sympathetic is his unwavering support for Rin's position as queen. He is grief-stricken by Rin's actions, but she is the queen and his sister, and he will fulfill his duty to that office.
    But I think what really stands out to me as establishing Ren as a character who is good within the context of the story, is his death for Rin. He sacrificed himself to save her despite her being clearly more guilty than him. I think that final act overshadows both his and Rin's previous actions as Rin is metaphorically redeemed through his sacrifice.
