Tensei Akuma no Saikyou Yuusha Ikusei Keikaku - Vol. 6 Ch. 23.4 - The Most Terrifying Devil

[Miserys_End]

I just recalled the first chapter, where Zeus said that Ars was going to kill Kakyu eventually.

However, a couple chapters ago, the demon god or whatever his title is, said that demons ressurect when they die, just with a heavy power loss and memory wipe. Does that mean that if Ars has to kill Kakyu at the tail end of the story, the main issue will just be if he comes back of enough memories of his family?

That's the thing about God's. Despite being omniscient, omnipotent, and all the other omni-esk words, they don't always get it right.

The only way I see Ars killing Kakyu is if Kakyu were to loose his mind and try killing everyone around him. Even then I would expect Ars to do his best to not kill his dad and try to just knock him out of whatever would cause him to need to kill him.

So I just don't see Ars seeing Kakyu as a threat just because he is some powerful entity beyond mortal comprehension.

Kakyu may be capable of keeping a low profile but eventually someone from the royal capital kingdom or whatever is going to notice Ars for what he is and scout him to kill the demon king, from there Kakyu being exposed for what he is and targeted as the “demon king” is only a matter of time, whether or not they try to spin kakyu as the one who murdered ars’ family to get ars to fight him is to far in the future to determine but I’m sure it’ll at least be brought up

Spoiler

In WN at least, yeah, Kakyu himself set the stage for Ars to kill him so that he'll no longer be considered foreign entity to the world since it's creating problems.
And, yeah, he lost some of his power, but not memories since he prepared well.

Gah... Feel spoiled now that I know there is a novel version, so any guessing is pointless.

I was thinking that the story was going to go like Bleach and he'll have to deal with his inner Hollow, or maybe his destined "death" would be the demon part of him in a second body.

Think they will find that a harder prospect they you seem to be implying. Not only has he been ennobled in a independent nation of non-humans, he is also one of the strongest individuals on the entire planet. If his true nature was exposed, most nations would fear him more then the demon king you think they would want him to kill.

As for Ars' family, he never knew them. He was born days or a week at most before the holy kingdom slaughtered his village while looking for the prophesied hero. So I doubt such a claim would hold much weight in Ars' scale of things that matter. Dad is dad, anything else just doesn't matter.

is what about his coworker the real story of what happeneds back on earth before he became a demon/devil? (i forgot what he is) will we get to know more about what was happening with kakyu pn earth?

I’m not saying it’d be easy, I’m sure it’d happen after a whole lot of investigating, spying, negotiating, plotting, probably threatening, etc but it’s like kakyu said once he’s found out the jig is up and his relatively peaceful life is over and I think it’s the same for ars, no matter how powerful they both have blind spots and others important to them could be targeted

For the family thing I’ll admit it’s a stretch but I have no doubt ars will be told of his birth family, kakyu’s guilt won’t allow him to keep ars from knowing about them, while that won’t change anything about their relationship I can see kakyu omitting certain parts or the holy kingdom disputing things in ways that make kakyu seem like the culprit, it’d be dependent on way too many things that haven’t been revealed or addressed yet about the holy kingdom so theorizing is kinda pointless but it’s whatever

Demons have every reason to fear what just happened to the bug general and his most powerful subordinates. Even more so with how short a time it happened in.

"Did you hear, that ridged bastard Theokia got fucked up bad and was dumped via portal in front of the demonlord's throne... He claims to not remember what happened, but keeps muttering about this strange moving image with a little yellow midget who is writting "stay the fuck off my lawn" over and over on a black wall..."

As for the opinions of other nations and that of his own, there is no information, yet. Other nations would have to go thrue political channels for information, if they cared at all. His own is just a matter of reporting to his monarch that an experiment went sideways, with only some collateral damage to his villa, or honestly say there was a demon attack and was handled.

For the family thing I’ll admit it’s a stretch but I have no doubt ars will be told of his birth family, kakyu’s guilt won’t allow him to keep ars from knowing about them, while that won’t change anything about their relationship I can see kakyu omitting certain parts or the holy kingdom disputing things in ways that make kakyu seem like the culprit, it’d be dependent on way too many things that haven’t been revealed or addressed yet about the holy kingdom so theorizing is kinda pointless but it’s whatever

Frankly think it's a complete non-issue. The only connection is a prophecy of a hero's birth, them sending out a collection team who may or may not have reported purging a village, and their subsequent annihilation. The connection is even further muddled by a full on active war against the demons in response to the weird mana signature. So while there is always that non-zero chance the author will force the cliché, it's gotta be really low.
