Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi - Ch. 72 - True Tranquility

2 chapters in a day yummy.

I really don't get all the hate miku gets. She didn't even do anything evil to earn ire. Just one human died indirectly because of her (she deserved it) but that was an act of self defense 🥺

Ok... maybe i've lost the plot or something.
But basically from what i remember the idatens kill demons cause demons kill and rape humans. But humnas basically became a some kind of half demons hybrid and accepted demons inside of their society, so the idatens have no reason to fight them. Cause the idatens are not moved by ideologies or hatred. As told by another user above, their mindset is alien.
Gil is the only one that could decide "fuck it i will purge them anyway!" cause she is born during the demon invasion by the desire of the nun to be able to protect the people and fight back against them.
In fact is the only one hating this epilogue while the other idatens are "whatever".

That's basically it. Gil is the only one that can change the ending here. Miku seems to be assuming that Gil will never do anything because of some inherent aspect of being an Idaten that will prevent her from doing so. But I think Gil could easily create a rationalization for just destroying everything and restarting society from scratch.

I'm also hoping for this. It would be the more interesting ending.

What tf is this commie liberal world economic forum resolution? All those dirty feeling that I feel exactly like the sister does just being capped off by "as long I'm with granpapy". All those murder sex incest war

I guess I can only agree with Hayato. Truly Goku-pilled

I think the issue is that we never saw Miku get corrected

And the diddle fest?

The demons are legitimately not humans, and have completely different biology and morality. This is a point that has been repeatedly beaten into the audience since pretty much chapter one

Gil should get to kill Miku, as a treat.

I'm not going to call this ending a perfect masterpiece or anything but as a counterpoint to some comments, one thing I'm pretty satisfied with throughout this series and has stayed true through the end is how appropriately "Not Human" the Idaten act mentally. In the vast majority of series gods (or actual aliens) basically feel and act like somewhat different looking very strong humans, sometimes maybe with some quirks but nothing particularly surprising even if a human just lived a long time. The Idaten though feel more legitimately "off" and in turn true to their origins as the amalgation of thought patterns and such, something that has human external form as a copy but very much isn't human. Not giving a shit about things that would be deeply concerning to normal people and taking an incredibly relaxed view about means/methods so long as their basic goals (in this case the continuation of "humanity" or "train more get ever stronger" or whatever) are met fits. Miku too is unpleasantly yet unusually genuinely demonically intelligent evil, and her solution of basically finding a way to coexist regardless of means because actual victory is perfectly impossible, Idaten are basically forces of nature, works.

As readers who are ourselves very much human that doesn't necessarily make for the most grokable and satisfying outcome on one dimension, but on another it's kinda cool.

This is what I enjoy about it this story too. The Idaten truly feel inhuman. An ending that would be satisfying to the Idaten may not be an ending that would be satisfying to a typical human, and the story is committed to following through with the true nature and motivations of the Idaten.

I think it fit early on in the series when juxtaposed to normal human morality. They don't care about the stuff humans care about, that's interesting and creates a cool moral question for protagonists of a manga. However, until recently they did deeply care about themselves and their own goals. Ysley and Prontea had histories and motivations and plans, they were far from passive observers. Even Paula, while a passive character, still had power and things she desired. Now they're just totally content to lay back and get fucked forever by demons while achieving none of their own goals or wants? Why?
