I think that's partly right, in that their shape is related to whatever idiosyncrasies are part of their psyche but their physical state (by which I mean the solidity of that shape) is tied directly to their age in whatever reincarnation cycle they've currently reached. So they begin in a gaseous state and slowly become more solid with age (Delicious is vapor, White Chain is liquid, Juggernaut is igneous, etc). For example, when Vigilant Gaze is talking to her upon her arrival in the void he says "now now, you've barely condensed your 79th incarnation!" which seems a bit like his way of saying "settle down, youngster!" It also leads me to think that if an angel is killed they start over from vapor at their rebirth. So we get White Chain having only reached liquid at this pint in her 82nd reincarnation while Juggernaut, still on his 6th, is basically solid rock (at least judging from the igneous classification, anyway). Although I'm sure his being a thorn factors into it as well, since we've seen that also has an effect on their physical forms.

Speaking of their physical forms, I'm kind of curious as to why Michael left the spears he was (presumably) slain with embedded in his torso. I mean, it wouldn't surprise me if he was just being a dick and trying to make some kind of martyr-esque statement but I still wonder just what the actual statement is.

It's probably that they're part of his form now. Since form and psyche reflect one another in angel-ville, the spears probably represent his in-ability to get over or past that event. Which may also be why he's one of the few primes who "survived". Maybe the others just accepted the fact that they were dead or beaten?

What if Metatron really is dead and someone is just using his body as a charade? Fill his lungs with air and play him like a bagpipe to make the holy words come out.

Unlikely, it seems, but I'll just throw this out there.

Otherwise, who's to say prime Angels can't lie?

michael doesn't think it's possible to return to the age before man by killing everyone in throne like the thorns do
michael and metatron however, are royalists

I think the plan may be: We can't just kill the humans because the humans will just keep coming. This is because, like us, they are comprised of a flame that cannot be extinguished. So the only way to stop it all is to literally stop it ALL. Unmake the universe.

To do this they use the prophesy which stated that the kings heir will kill all the former masters. So they help the new king along. Then once she's done killing all the former masters, they'll be able to put into place the method by which they unmake the universe and combine everything back into the singular God of everything that once was.

At least an intelligent flood only wants to drown things. An unbound devil with a mind actively desires to make the multiverse a worse place, by every definition.

Actually I have to wonder at that.

So far the devils we've met have all been widely different personalities and the most of the information we've been given is from sources that are antithesis to devils or were trying to manipulate the situation to their advantage.

It would not surprise me to find that the devils have no plans to upset anything or are actively trying to keep the status quo.

So what do you guys think the April fools joke will be? Since it's coming back April 1st after all.

Either Allison dies outright or Allison goes Goku are my guesses.

Did she have dinner with that one person sitting there, or are all the empty seats vacant because she ate the occupants?

Yes?

On a more serious note, do we actually know if she eats people? Has there been any alt-text to suggest as such?

I believe Abaddon has said that Jaggernoth is immensely more powerful than the other demiurges, and the only thing holding him back is the six others allying against him.

Yeah, in that council scene they definitely were hella respectful whenever they addressed Jaggernoth. His entire thing is to grow more powerful I think. He probably doesn't take an action unless it's to increase his power or defend it in some way.

Jagganoth's secret is that he never missed leg day once, in an entire kalpa.

Jagganoth's secret is that he has an entire day devoted to each individual muscle in his body.

And that day is today.

More like femtogoku at the moment. But give her a musical number and she can reach the microgoku scale.
