Jossed or confirmed guesses are in their own folder at the end of the list (spoilers are unavoidable there, so open it at your own risk).
Of the 12 Dii Consentes, we've only seen six of them (Diana, Minerva, Mars, Mercury, Vulcan and Apollo). Jupiter has been referenced a few times, as has Ceres (under the Greek name Demeter), but Juno, Vesta, Venus and Neptune are still complete no-shows. Bonus points goes to the fact that it's not following the 6 male, 6 female ratio where the male gods (Mars, Mercury, Vulcan and Apollo) ended up female in the manga.
Add in the fact that Chihiro being depressed about not having a Goddess within her could easily act as forshadowing for her receiving her own Goddess at some point.
The latest arc being called The Heart of Jupiter could mean that Keima is going to come across a new Goddess, Jupiter, at some point.
- OR It may turn out that Keima will become the host of Jupiter. Do remember that Diana referred to her and her fellow goddesses as "Jupiter Sisters", taking the name of the aforementioned Deity as a part of their own...
- Actually, the Jupiter sisters were stated to be the daughters of Jupiter. In Roman Mythology, Diana, Apollo, Vulcan, Mars, Minerva, and Mercury were considered the children of Jupiter. Juno, Vesta, Ceres, and Neptune were siblings of Jupiter, and while Venus is not a sibling, the myth is that she was actually born from the genitalia of Uranus after Saturn castrated him and threw them into the sea.
- Jossed, for now. He goes back in time in order to ensure the future happens as it did, not to prevent it from happening. Although, that's not to say that there won't be a universe-reset later in the series.
- It's basically already happened. Keima's journey to the past involves creating the events that lead to the future he comes from, and he possesses an artifact (the orb) that has the power to reset the timeline whenever it strays too far off-course. It only allows a few resets, but has the ability to mark a "checkpoint" once a hurdle of some sort has been overcome.
- Bittersweet Ending 1: Keima manages to find Diana's sisters, and together they kick whoever released the seal's ass. Then the goddesses can return to Zeus, wherever he is. The contract between Keima and Elsee is finally lifted... And then Hell decides to erase Keima's memory, making him think everything happened in his games.
We have seen it happen elsewhere, don't underestimate the author's cruelty. But then, there are a couple of devils who would not take it well. Elsee will not leave his nii-san, so her chief manages to alter Keima's father memory. Elsee continues to live with Keima as his step sister.- Then one day some scythe-wielding tsundere manages to draw up enough courage to corner Keima and confess to him.
- Well, I think aforementioned Bitter Sweet Ending applies to KeimaXElsee fans only. In fact, it's a thing to cheer for for KeimaXTenri fans.
- What's not bittersweet about the guy losing all of his memories? I personally find that to be rather reprehensible.
- He might lose his memories but still retain whatever Character Development he had, hence becoming a generally more likable person. I don't think it's that bad. :3 But, yeah, the ending would be better, in my opinion, if he retains his memories.
- Given that every other victim of a memory wipe in the series has had their Character Development remain (Including the capture that doesn't even remember Keima at all), it's pretty much ensured that if Keima did lose his memories, he'd retain any changes to his personality.
- Or maybe the goddesses are the ones responsible for removing his memories, not hell. If the girls were to learn exactly what Keima has gone through for their sakes, I imagine they'd feel pretty damn sorry for him. In order to avoid him going through the agony of dealing with the harem, and so their hearts aren't completely shattered when it's broken up, they get the goddesses to remove his memories of the whole ordeal.
- And then, once the main plot of the series is finished, the whole situation is reversed into an Unwanted Harem as the girls try to woo Keima.
- Bittersweet "Earn Your Happy Ending" 2: One of the Jupiter Sisters (possibly Diana) would perform a Heroic Sacrifice during a final stand-off involving Keima and the masterminds of Satyr, while protecting him, Elsea, or someone else involved. As a result, in order to maintain balance after the Final Battle, the current hosts of the Goddesses would eventually ascend to a higher plane of existence as the new Jupiter Sisters.
- And apparently the last scene would be a Distant Finale where Keima officially quits his Dating Sims via a live video feed from his website, then someone will approach him and invite him for lunch. As to the identity of that person, it may either be:
- Elsea, who has now fully embraced her role as his ditzy younger sister; OR
- Chihiro, who after finally realizing the situation Keima entered himself into, ends up with him (possibly as fulfillment of a parting wish from the new Goddesses, particularly Ayumi.)
- Final portrait: A picture of Keima with either or both of the two aforementioned persons, His PFP displaying the statement: "You hold the key to your World that God only knows", and Elsea's spirit sensor conveniently placed at center, beside the words "HAPPY END."
- And apparently the last scene would be a Distant Finale where Keima officially quits his Dating Sims via a live video feed from his website, then someone will approach him and invite him for lunch. As to the identity of that person, it may either be:
- Somewhat confirmed in the novels with Aoba Fuse, a Distaff Counterpart to Keima in mental ability and even in appearance somewhat. In an inversion, the gap in her heart is from her being so good at everything she tries, that she doesn't feel challenged, until Keima introduces her to the Galge genre. She even makes a name for herself in the gaming community as "Maihime."
- Confirmed, and immediately subverted. She used the cover of a normal conversation to show Ayumi that Keima wasn't being honest at all, and was playing her into getting whatever he wanted (her MacGuffin) from her. However, Keima didn't leave enough of an impact, and she got over him. She did it because she did not want to stand by and watch her friend get manipulated. Chihiro turned around and told Keima to be honest with her, and supported him from then on.
- At this point, that's going to be very awkward.
- She does look like the typical character who tries hard to get recognized in the evil organization, then realizes that they've been just using her as disposable goods and pulls a Heel–Face Turn.
- At last, Keima even asked to keep her. Knowing the guy, it's fair enough to guess he'll somehow seduce her to squeeze out some more info. Or maybe she'll be moved by his dedication and how such a man can't be wrong...
- This is looking VERY unlikely, being this short of being Jossed. The Goddess Arc has ended and no mention of her save for a single instance where she once again plays the Butt Moneky, not to mention that Vintage is essentially gone now.
- She does look like the typical character who tries hard to get recognized in the evil organization, then realizes that they've been just using her as disposable goods and pulls a Heel–Face Turn.
- She happens to be a Secret-Keeper for the main plot now; being one of the few people that actually knows about the whole New Hell/Vintage/Goddess ordeal existing.
- This theory may also be a bit jossed judging from her reaction during the last chapter of the Festival Arc, where she got to see the Goddesses with their wings deployed...
- Considering FLAG 266, the likely result is one of two WMG's getting confirmed, one being this one, and the other being Elsie dying.
- Vulcan / Hephaestus fits pretty nicely. He's Ugly Cute, quite the Chick Magnet despite it, technologically inclined, surrounds himself with Artificial Humans, and he's the father of Cupid / Eros.
- The last point is Jossed as of Chapter 133. Tsukiyo/Luna is Vulcan.
- The reason:'Haqua': No one tries it because it's so unstable. If they fail, the gap widens. And it's easy for the gap to reopen as well.
- She then questions him how did he avoid all the problems associated with the method, to which he's unable to answer. In my opinion, the reason why it works so well for Keima is because he isn't just merely making them to fall in love with him, but also solves whatever emotional problems they're having in the process (which is why they fall in love with him anyhow). But that makes the process more difficult, and perhaps Keima's the only one who can really pull it off. That's why it's not an efficient method to use, comparing to Nora's or Yukie's method for example.
- I'm afraid I'll have to disagree on his method being inefficient. They kind of made this whole big thing out of the fact that Keima and Elsee are absolutely crushing all the other demons at capturing spirits.
- What I meant was that it was an inefficient method to others, not to our Keima.
- Explained by the story: he was chosen to find the goddesses, who only respond to love and not other gap-filling measures.
- Jupiter is actually Keiichi Katsuragi, Keima's ever unfortunate father. Just like Jupiter was often accused of being unfaithful, so too is Keiichi accused of unfaithfulness. Jupiter also had many half-mortal children, in this case Keima.
- Not to be a spoil-sport, but either theory would make the main plot one massive pile of incest.
- Have you ever read Classical Mythology at all? It's nothing but that. Remember that this is where Freud got most of his ideas.
- Or...
- Hey, in Classical Mythology Jupiter had a massive reputation as a womanizing pimp who will conquer any woman he wants. Therefore, he is the God of Conquest, who is Keima. So logically...
- The new arc is going to be called The Heart of Jupiter. It seems obvious that all the goddesses want their hosts to get Keima- and in the case of Diana, she wants Keima as well. So, maybe the new arc will be about the goddesses trying to get the 'heart' of Keima. Then again, that would be a pretty sucky arc...
- So far, nothing of the sort has happened. Everything up until now has been solely about paving the road to the future Keima comes from.
- What could be a better job for the God of Games? He's shown he's good at all games, not just video games. Including exams, which are likely to have Statistical Probability as a lessons.
- As of chapter 166, this WMG just got a serious shot in the arm. As it turns out, Chihiro has been in love with Keima even before she was ever a conquest target.
- And as of chapter 189, it basically got shot in both legs, so that the executioner could carry it to the guillotine.
- AND as of FLAG 267, the ship has been raised from the bottom of the sea and given a brand new maiden voyage...Nay, it is already in the home stretch of its destination. KEIMA JUST CONFESSED TO CHIHIRO.
- In FLAG 160, the Vintage members who were interrogating Haqua mentioned something about a "Singularity" when they are talking about her Vintage replacement.
- Seems to be jossed as it appears that Keima, due to Time Travel and trying to make a Stable Time Loop, hijacked their original plan in order to implant the goddesses to their future hosts.
- Seikesshou Albatross has the middle school martial artist protagonist, Yuki, deal with extraterrestrials (Monobiles/Monobails/Monobairus) and the search for their sacred stones.
- TWGOK has the high school galge playing protagonist, Keima, deal with the supernatural (devils and goddesses) using his skills to fill girls' hearts with love, and exorcise and capture the Weiss.
- Both are series made by Wakaki Tamiki.
- Hiroko Matsumaya, A.K.A. "Mappy", and three of the delinquents that appeared in Seikesshou Albatross reappear in TWGOK but they are now in high school. Their families probably moved to Maijima City after a series of mysterious events happened in Kozue City.
- Mappy's apperances: in Seikesshou Albatross, talking to Rika; in TWGOK, talking with Chihiro and Elsea.
- The three delinquents appearances: in Seikesshou Albatross, bullying Asakura, and wielding their weapons against Yuki; in TWGOK, confronting Elsea and Keima, Ryou wielding a weapon against Kusunoki.
- It should be noted that Ryou, the black-haired tall and thin delinquent, wielded two different weapons in his manga appearances. A Butterfly knife in the TWGOK manga, and a collapsible baton in Seikesshou Albatross manga and the TWGOK anime.
- The observatory from Seikesshou Albatross is seen in a picture in the Shiratori house.
- The Monobails of Seikesshou Albatross are mostly named after birds. The family name "Shiratori" means "White bird" or "swan" in Japanese. The Shiratori family could be Monobails.
- The season outlook would be roughly like this:
- Episode 1 would be adapted from FLAG 42: A Demon That's Tiny = The Little Devil! It will also be a recap episode of the previous two seasons.
- The Tsukiyo Arc will have 3 episodes.
- Episode 5 would be adapted from FLAG 34 Demolishing The Bricks and FLAG 35 The Dawn of Something
- The Haqua and Yukie arc will have 2 episodes.
- The Minami arc will have 3 episodes.
- The 2-B Pencils and Kanon studying arc will be the last 2 episodes.
- You forgot to factor in the upcoming OVA. Besides, it doesn't look like a season 3's coming.
- Yeah the guess is a long-shot, but it would be nice if a 3rd season would be made someday.
- There is a third season but the number of capture targets are not yet confirmed. The Four People and an Idol arc is already in OVA form.
- Yeah the guess is a long-shot, but it would be nice if a 3rd season would be made someday.
- This theory just got debunked, as the third season immediately began with the Goddesses Arc (beginning with FLAG 114.)
- According to chapter 165, that girl is Chihiro, which makes this WMG the same as another one further up.
- Close to being confirmed as of FLAG 267.
- She's also pretty much the only remaining member of the main cast who has never had any connection to the supernatural or New Hell. The only other exception being Kodama, and at this point Miyako has become far more prominent in the story.
- Hey, it's possible. Plus, that'd be an awesome Early-Bird Cameo.
- With the situation of dealing with Ayumi and Chihiro spiraling out of control, it'll take the help of their mutual friend Elsie to defuse the ticking bomb that's just waiting to blow up all of Keima's plans, and really drive home how much he actually needs her.
- With Vintage gearing up for a Zerg Rush in FLAG 174, a free-to-do-as-she-pleases Haqua is going to thwart the rush, bailing out the non-combat orientated Keima BIG TIME.
- After Chapter 175 we can only say: Here. Take the fucking trophy!
- EeveeLord graciously accepts said trophy, until such time as the next WMG is confirmed.
- After Chapter 175 we can only say: Here. Take the fucking trophy!
This, of course, raises all of their love points to the max which gives the goddess enough power to seal/defeat the Weiss and save the day incidentally they are also able to bring Keima Back from the Dead.
Afterwards someone asks Keima why he would do that and he will say something to the effect that he trusted the girls and goddess. Also, that's how that scenario works in games.
Cue glomp and shock
- The collar is not always there. And the uniform says "1B", when Chihiro is supposed to be on class 2B. Maybe those were mistakes of the artist?
- There may be something to this as it could explain Keima's ability to capture ladies as changing as the seasons. Of course I wonder if she will go fully berserk for all the girlfriends her son has had.
- Nah, she'd probably be amazed that he's actually been communicating with real people. Now, if Vintage tried to capture Keima, on the other hand, and this turned out to be true, it'd result in a Mama Bear rampage that'd have them begging to go five rounds with Izumi Curtis instead.
Thus far, none of the Weiss have had any real personality and have been little more than a Monster of the Week. Depicting a sympathetic Weiss as an actual character would make the Weiss more than simple monsters and give a great deal of insight into the nature of Old Hell. As we saw when Haqua got arrested, essentially good people like Sharia are willing to do bad things to survive. Dokuro responded to Haqua's feelings that No Good Deed Goes Unpunished by saying that many are also feeling the same way and that there is little difference between New and Old Hell.
- She's revealed to be essentially a younger clone of Dokurou Skull, minus the "Skull". This doesn't necesarily disprove the above theory though.
...And she will remember Keima since the Great Runaway Spirit Escape hadn't occurred by then, thus, there would be no reason to tamper with her memory, since I doubt Keima would be stupid enough to hand over the spirit by the hand of a devil who has no business with the Runaway Spirit Squad (yet).
- ... The story about how Kanon first meets Apollo.
- ... A mockumentary on her rise to stardom.
- Debunked. The spin-off OVA is more of Kanon being a Magical Girl.
- Or he finally gets his father home to help and we finally get to see what the man looks like!
- 1. At the very least, it must be destined since childhood.
- 2. A proposal in a dramatic situation is a minimum requirement.
- 3. A kiss in a church with the words "Happy End" behind it.
- We now know thatKeima was the one who set it up so gaps would open in the Goddess Girls' hearts, so it was indeed destined from childhood, if you can call it that.
- Once the issue regarding Keima's history has been settled, either The Jupiter Sisters will decide to take the battle to the demons who want to exploit their powers for their own intentions, or the political conspiracy within New Hell's heirarchy will finally show and the true masterminds behind everything that had happened in the story will pull off a last-minute charge with their followers to settle the score.
- And apparently, Keima and Elsie will get stuck in the middle of the war.
- Also, one of the possible titles for one of the FLAGs of the said arc: "Libera Me" from Hell.
- Even MORE foreshadowing thanks to FLAG 266. Geez, Elsie, stop tripping death flags!
- Now I don't know whether to declare this entry has been confirmed or jossed. On one hand, "Elsee" is effectively dead since nobody aside from Keima seems to remember her, but she's still around as Katsuragi Eri, having (somehow) altered reality so that she's always been Keima's little sister. Yes, this is as confusing as it sounds.
- Keima....
- is a God.
- Or rather, GOD. You know, Alpha and Omega, be all and end all.
- Speaking of Alpha and Omega and be all and end all, Keima is the God Only Knows verse version of Galactus. Being the balance between Eternity and Death, Galactus needed to consume the energy of civilizations and planets so that he can use the energy they consumed to maintain universal order and protect this unverse from Omnicidal Maniac God of Entropy, Abraxas. Similarly, Keima needs to consume games everyday as the by product of civilzation energy, since the universe saps energy from him to protect itself from Abraxas and his agents the Weiss. His Mighty PFP which can do anything is the manifestation of his Power Cosmic.
- is a Time Lord. His Mighty PFP is his TARDIS, and Elsie is his companion.
- Keima's dad is not Keiichi but rather could be
- Zeus, aka Jupiter, the original God of Harems
- Yahweh from The Bible. it is right there in Keima's mom's name: Mari. Keima suffered under Tsunderes for our sins!
- Kratos. God of War can also translate to God of Conquest so why not? Explains why Keima's Mighty PFP can do pretty much anything... because it's the modern day evolution of Kratos' Blades of Chaos.
- Morgan Freeman. Just because.
- Elsie....
- is literally Keima's sister.
- Had something traumatic happen to her with her true simblings in Hell, and thus saw the completely unrelated Keima to be her true onii-sama.
- Or was hated by everyone in Hell because of her horrific cooking and was assigned to the Loose Souls Squad as a form of exile.
- Perhaps because Hell used to have the best cuisine ever, thanks to Gordon Ramsay. The real reason for the loose souls epidemic was because Elsie fucked up so much that Gordon's Cluster F-Bomb devastated the barrier suppressing the Weiss.
- The entire setting takes place....
- in Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
- The Incubators harnessed the Weiss as a form of efficiently extracting grief from human souls for energy without the inefficiency of the Magical Girl System. However, the Weiss rebelled, forcing them to ask the help of the Goddesses to seal them in a planet now called Hell.
- The Goddesses, on the other hand are daughters of Madoka Kaname, the Messianic Archetype and the first Moe Goddess.
- Or perhaps, Madoka Kaname was in fact the only Goddess there was. When she, in her Messianic selflessness, sacrificed her own soul to seal the Weiss away, her soul was split into the Jupiter Sisters. Keima was created as a byproduct nexus to reassemble Madoka back, and his obssession with Moe was the echo of Madoka's selfless and extremely humble Nice Girl personality, the perfect submissive Moe that Keima always tried to find.
- Or Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: Rebellion
- The ruler of Old Hell, and the mastermind behind Vintage, is the Archdaemon, Homura Akemi. When she enslaved Madoka as an amnesiac and annihilated Incubator civilization, the entropy rates in the Multiverse accelerated to critical levels eventually giving birth to chaotic lifeforms called Weiss. However, despite the devastation caused by the Weiss Homura was consumed by her love and obsession for Madoka and so she did not care and ruled as a tyrannical dictator. Eventually, however, through the help of other Magical Girls such as Sayaka Miki, Madoka regained her memories as Ultimate Madoka and forged an alliance with the Incubators, a new constitution that would refuse to harvest energy from human souls themselves but dedicated to capturing loose Weiss. In the climax of the Homura Heresy Madoka sacrificed her own soul to seal Homura and the Weiss away into an Isolation Field over an asylum planet, now called Hell. Thanks to their alliance with Madoka, the Incubators evolved emotions and became the foundation for New Hell, while Madoka's consciousness shattered into the Jupiter Sisters and Keima Katsuragi.
- in The Matrix.
- Keima is The One, and the setting was a recent reboot of the Matrix simulation. However, the Architect soon noticed that alien viruses invaded the mainframe corrupting everying around them till they became glitches. At first they reforged the Agents into the Goddesses to suppress the glitches but this proved to be a failure. In their second attempt, they reincarnated Neo as the One in the form of Keima Katsuragi, who would be the anomaly to combat the viruses in their own game. The Angents were reprogrammed as Demons to assist the One but the Architect retained the program that anyone who saw the glitches except for the One would have amnesia.
- or Instrumentality
- Keima is Shinji Ikari, but with the intellectual powers of Gendo Ikari. The absent dad Keiichi is Yui Ikari, delinquent Mari is Misato, the submissive Elsie is Rei, either of the Tsunderes Haqua or Chihiro is Asuka
- in Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
- Chihiro.....
- is completely normal. No goddesses, no supernaturals whatsoever.
- is a Goddess considering her ability to remember her relationships with Keima. Perhaps Jupiter.
- The Eldritch Abomination to Keima's God, the Missingno to Keima's Arceus.
- A completely normal girl from Real Life dragged into the wacky world of God Only Knows.
- Haruhi Suzumiya.
- Not just a Goddess, but a Time Lord. Now that is on another level altogether.
- The Goddesses....
- as said earlier, daughters of Madoka.
- Or are just demons with massive power and big egos hence why they called themselves goddesses
- Don't exist. It was just a conspiracy about multiple demons working together to reawaken the true God: Keima
- Chapter 118 confirms that one of the goddesses is Minerva. Minerva is the goddess of wisdom and music, in Shiori's arc, it was shown that she was (very) knowledgeable, and in the epilogue, that she reads music's lyrics sheets. Lastly, she was never shown to completely forget, and said that she still had vague memories.
- Keima has narrowed her down to one of the most likely candidates.
- Shiori still has her book-memorization ability. Whether or not it's just carried over from the capture is unknown.
- Confirmed. Its Minerva.
- Jossed. Tsukiyo got Vulcan.
- This will be the last goddess Keima finds, to win her over and awaken Mars he must give up galgames, once he does this, Mars will lead the other goddesses into battle against old Hell. Rage Against the Heavens / Apocalypse Wow ending.
- Jossed. Yui got Mars.
- As of Chapter 132, Keima definitely seems to have come to that conclusion. Note that Tsukiyo's omake chapter is completely from Luna's point of view - and suddenly, what appeared to be a throwaway gag has taken on an eerie significance. To elaborate further...
- Vulcan created Robot Girl helpers to help out in his forge, providing a link to Tsukiyo's "doll" theme.
- Also, at his birth, he was cast down from Olympus... and went lame as a result] Granted, Luna has both legs intact in this chapter, but the parallels remain valid.
- Jossed! (Heh.) Tsukiyo has Vulcan, and it seems that Luna is sentient and animate as a result of Vulcan's powers.
- Jossed. The opening says that they squeezed Jun in somehow.
- In the irony of ironies, the perfectly middling girl would have the most beautiful goddess in Roman mythology.
- Also the chapter "Venus in Furs" is a reference to a novel wherein it is framed by the protagonist's talks with Venus in his dreams concerning the nature of love. Since that particular chapter has a focus on how Keima asked Chihiro whether or not they kissed, it is quite possible that she has Venus.
- Jossed, Venus isn't even an option.
- Not Jossed yet. Its possible that there is a "Venus" and is inside a girl.
- Chapter 165 confirms that Chihiro doesn't have a goddess, so this remains jossed.
- Well, her name does mean beauty after all.
- Jossed, Venus isn't even on the list.
- Not on the list but she might still be there.
- Chapter 165 revokes that argument.
- Ayumi started using a suffix on his name and gave him a Megaton Kick. Not to mention her reaction during the moment of said confession.
- Shiori suddenly killed off Keima's counterpart in her story in a fashion that shows that she was suddenly angered.
- Chihiro accidentally spilled coffee on him.
- Yui, however, just seems to be trying to force cross-dressing on him in an attempt to stop his five-timing, but doesn't show much anger at all.
- I think you're wrong. Her reflection has a different expression and hair style. I think she definitely has a goddess.
- One could easily say that the design on her changed, or that she's simply becoming more man-like over time. That doesn't prove anything.
- I think you're wrong. Her reflection has a different expression and hair style. I think she definitely has a goddess.
- I also think Yui is likely to not have a Goddess. She knows about Keima's multi-capture yet isn't mad at all. My guess is even without a Goddess, she will stay in the main cast due to her Yandere tendencies.
- As of chapter 140, Keima believes that there is definitely a goddess in Yui.
- He said "there's a good chance", as he said about every other girl so far. That has simply made Yui a bit more likely, rather than the "let's throw her in to keep up the drama" vibe she's been giving off until now.
- Jossed by the spoilers for Chapter 141.
Think about it: if she doesn't have a goddess, then she has forgotten all about the capture, thus Keima is a stranger to her. Now, let's say she still has some lingering affection towards him, or she just thinks he's cute, and decides to talk to him. Why the confession? Why insisting on going after him even after finding out he's making a move on other girls(and multiple ones at the same time, at that) as well? This is Keima we're talking about. He's the capturing god, sure, but when he's not trying to capture a girl, he's just your average otaku. Why would a girl, any girl, go after an antisocial otaku playboy? But, if she does have a goddess, it all makes sense. She still loves him, and this explains her behavior; as for the details, I think she's still just starting to remember, since she didn't get much love to feed the goddess. Kanon too didn't remember everything right away, and Yui was captured much later. So what if she didn't get angry? If that was the only parameter to find a host, then Tenri would be out, too. She didn't get angry even after finding out exactly how Keima was capturing runaway spirits, and not because she knows he has no choice, but because she is just so shy, and happy enough to just being able to talk with him from time to time. Yui is, or at least became, much more assertive than Tenri, so she just decided to not care about the rumor about Keima and Kanon and instead is trying to get the guy. And if you add her reflection in the "Yui after" chapter, it takes away every possible doubt. Out of the four candidates, I'd say the one without a goddess is Chihiro, since she is the normal girl, furthermore the author expressly said he likes Ayumi's character, and the fandom seems to like Shiori. The only flaw in this reasoning is that it's far too obvious, so, if not Chihiro, it's either Ayumi or Shiori, but not Yui. Wall of Text.
- The main point has been confirmed by the spoiler for Chapter 141. You'll have to wait up for the rest of the guesses, though.
- It has all been confirmed as of chapter 165. I Knew It!.
- To elaborate some more, she was the first captured girl and has showed some vague flags to Keima.
- This effort is a little exaggerated.
- It seems that goddesses have characteristics similar to their hosts (Apollo is the goddess of arts), so perhaps she'll have Mercury?
- Chapter 118 confirm that one of the goddesses is Mercury.
- Chapter 119: Keima's looking for girls angry with him, since those girls might still have memories of their capture and therefore have goddesses. What does Ayumi do when she bumps into Katsuragi-kun? She SENDS HIM CRASHING AGAINST A WALL.
- It should be noted that the goddess does not have to have similar characteristics to the hosts. Example: Tenri.
- Diana, in mythology, is a goddess of hunt. This trait is seen in Tenri and Diana playing shogi as one has to hunt to down the enemy.
- iirc, Diana/Artemis is the goddess of young girls and virginity, and often associated with innocence and purity. YMMV, but I reckon Tenri's pretty innocent, and acts quite young (innocently, not immaturely). Also Diana is the goddess of childbirth -> childhood friend.
- In addition to the above, note that Mercury was the god of trade, based off of the greek god Hermes. Now while this may be a bit of a stretch Hermes the messenger god whom Mercury's stories are adapted from was famous for his winged boots and fast speed. Now while Ayumi was naturally fast on her own before and after the capture, please note the amount of distance she puts between herself and the others in the race. But if we're just going on roman god(dess) theories here then then I believe as a god of trade that Mercury must be fast moving. Last point if Keima is right on his theory that all the goddess's were put near him so he could help them regain their strength though The Power of Love Ayumi is one of the closest girls to him, seeing as they normally get stuck sweeping together, and seem to have a history of doing the chore together even before the captures started
- Confirmed as of chapter 165.
- Jossed as far as Ayumi/Shiori being the duel hosts, but Ayumi/Chihiro remains a possibility.
- Ayumi and Chihiro sharing Mercury has been Jossed.
- Debunked as of Chapter 165: Ayumi had Mercury all along.
- I agree, but for the reason that seven is a far more significant number symbolically and religiously than six.
- If there was a seventh goddess, why would she be in a capture target? The reason these 6 are is because they were released along with the runaway spirits, but since this 7th goddess wasn't with them there, she wouldn't be there.
- It seems this has been jossed.
- Jossed
- But how would that work? Would they trick Yui into thinking she was a dude in disguise or something?
- Jossed
- Two pieces of evidence point against this: firstly, Nikaido was in the basketball team with Jun back when they were in school together and wasn't wearing a collar back then. If she was also in the Spirit Retrieval Squad and lived up to her reputation, it wouldn't make any sense for her not to have a partner at that time. Secondly, when Nikaido teased Akari/Rimuyel about Keima, Akari stated that she was the source of Nikaido's power. Unless this troper is completely mistaken, the buddy is there only for drawing out the spirit but doesn't actually provide any power behind the spirit capture.
- Jossed
- She's clearly not human; not stated to be a new devil, but most likely is one;
- She didn't meet Elsea out of coincidence, this will lead to a "What, that is your sister?!?" moment for Keima later;
- She's shorter than Elsee.
- She likes Keima.
- Both have a similar type of hair and they are two of the few left-handed characters in the series.
- Elsea mentioned how her sister was an "outstanding devil." Akari wields a scythe, meaning she was valedictorian of her class
- Dokuro stated that Haqua was the very first lower class devil in the whole history of New Hell to become a valedictorian. Judging by the massive difference in power level, it is safe to say that Rimyuel is older than she is, which in turn means that she must be from an upper class family. Elsie has specifically been referred to as a lower class devil. I suppose it's theoretically possible that her family is actually upper class and Elsie personally was demoted for her incompetence, but overall, I think this point actually decreases the chances of Rimyuel being Elsie's sister.
- Of course, in New Hell, the upper class families all have horns. Rimyuel has no discernible horn, so one might argue that this is still possible.
- Aside from the fact that her theoretical horns could be hidden, it should also be pointed that it doesn't sound like the horned devils are the only upper class family, just the most famous and recognizable. In the list of things Haqua doesn't have, Dokuro mentions money, horns, and connections.
- Confirmed... Well, kinda. She is indeed the "sister" Elsie was referring to, though she's more of an honorary sister than anything. They are not related by blood.

- It became quite clear once chapter 250 was released that Dokuro is someone that Keima already knows from his present timeline. It suddenly became a major debate as to whether or not Dokuro is actually Nikaido due to a couple manga panels being dedicated solely to Dokuro putting on a neck choker. The evidence being that Nikaido aged, and that she also wears a choker (despite having a different design).
- Confirmed in chapter 254.
- Not just a member, but the leader. Or one of the higher-ups, at any rate. Since she's supposed to be really skilled and all.
- By Flag 231, this seems to be filled by Kaori Yuuzaki.
- Basically Confirmed. Kaori fits the bill for a lot of his counterpoints quite nicely, and this is acknowledged by both of them, except that Kaori insists that they are not so different. Despite all of this, Keima's mangificent bastardry is too much and he handily prevails in the end. She certainly was no Eldritch Abomination in the literal sense, but was creepy enough to fit for an entry in the Nightmare Fuel page.
- And Haqua trying to report on Vintage's infiltration of the Runaway Spirit Squad inadvertently threatens this goal.
- The one who reported Haqua to the Public Safety Department was Sharia out of fear of Vintage.
- Confirmed. It turns out the plan is a whole lot more complex than just that, though.
- after the events of FLAG 161, this guess's probability increased dramatically, as Haqua is freed from Vintage sans her collar.
- Jossed, since Elsie (somehow) removed it from Keima in FLAG 266.
