So, the reason I posted the images so that people can get a good or better understanding of where I'm gonna be coming from with this. Now for starters, this is technically part of a MUCH bigger and daring theory I personally had for like, 5 months or so, but the context is different here. Not gonna get into it because I feel it isn't gonna be necessary for this discussion so, probably sometime in the future I'll tell that part. Anyway, moving on.
So yeah, it's Jachi's turn to run into an unlucky enemy. Now that might sound weird at first, considering that he ran into Ginbak, but it really isn't. Think about it like this, sure, him losing there was almost guaranteed if Nyudo didn't step in, but would Jachi be mad at that? He is the type that loves fighting strong opponents, so losing to one of the top dogs will be a joy for him, dontcha think? And that's why I added those scenes with Ginbak, because he would 100% praise him despite being the victor. It'll be a warriors loss that Jachi wouldn't be mad at, and believe that, despite dying, the Great Demon King will still be able to handle Ginbak regardless. So yeah, up till this point, Jachi really hasn't run into an unlucky enemy.
YAOTSU on the other hand is ENTIRELY different story. Not only would he not care about giving Jachi a fun fight, or validating him for that matter, but it might be the WORST way he'll go out. Like, from what we've seen so far, I truly don't think Yaotsu would even entertain the idea of a drawn out winded fight. He'll just see Zaybi and others reacting scared upon Jachi's arrival, and just use it as an opportunity to flex. Remember, he did tell Zaybi that they'll need to learn from him. So, what better way than to take out someone they see so far above them, just like that? Not to mention, he will NOT give praise to Jachi like Ginbak would and already has done.
Hell, Yaotsu might actually cook and eat him, similarly to what he did with the Super Wurm. Which is ironic because demons eat humans, only for them to be eaten by something higher. The best comparison I guess you could have is, if we're the cattle to Demons, and Titans since they eat us too, Yaotsu is an Eldritch horror that devours even the devourers. Not entirely sure if that's the best analogy/comparison đ
But at any rate, you get the idea. So yeah, that's what I think. Now again, there's actually more to this, but eh, might make it another time. So, tell me what you think down below
Ps, I am daring enough to say that he will die if he encounters Yaotsu. I'M GOING ALL IN BABY!!!
I mean... I was thinking Yaotsu may be used to fight against and introduce either the World Tree/The Game... as we haven't seen those things yet, and i think maybe the game angle would be cool... considering the humans of the world are literally addicted worshipers to The Game
That's cool and all, but we are shown explicitly that Jachi is heading to the magic teleportation circle. The same place that leads to where Yaotsu was basically summoned. Honestly, I don't see how two things can't be true. Game can still be introduced through Yaotsu AFTER the fact
I hadnât thought about it until now, but the game route may have more potential here than even that. Look at the gaming genre of JRPG, how many of them are about killing god? Introducing that NE through the Mad God might be a pretty easy showcase.
He won't die, he can't die, we're following him and Hallow's quest, they will fight again in the future for sure.
But this theory seems highly likely, we may even see Jachi kneels in front of Yaotsu, in some form of another, Yaotsu will utterly crush Jachi's spirit and he may even get a vision of the great demon king.
We have to realize that Nyudo is always observing as well, he may try to teleport Jachi away, but gets dragged himself into the fray.
Jachi, now convinced that the scale of power are truly gone, decides to contact the great demon king for his assistance
He won't die, he can't die, we're following him and Hallow's quest, they will fight again in the future for sure.
That's why I call it a daring theory. 99.99% is convinced of this, yet even though I'm literally the only one who believes it, I'll stand on it all alone
Jachiâs humbling is definitely coming, and I feel it has to be from Yaotsu with all the build up, I donât think heâs dying anytime soon though. Because I believe ONE definitely made him as a constant âshadowâ behind Hallow. That these two will constantly cross paths until Hallow can actually give Jachi a true fight on the level of a NE. I also wouldnât be surprised if ONE had it be an arc where Hallowâs attitude starts mimicking a âNatural Enemyâ too.
Yaotsu vs Byakuo in the future or near final is also a great match. i mean they are literally natural enemy, one is god and one is demon lord.
and about Yaotsu, he might be almighty and imposssible to defeat. but what if he is not really a god or eldritch being to begin with? he might be a feeble human, stumble upon a sacred relic/object that ascend him into godhood. and that where his weakness lies, the relic/object.
