Just something that I’ve noticed while re reading makai ouji, but do the Angels possibly have human look alikes?
For example, Uriel seem to have already looked like ‘Kevin’ since solomon’s time.
Along with Michael who seems to have had ‘Elliot’s’ appearance since he fought Gilgamesh.
Anybody else ever notice this?
Anybody have any thoughts?
I have noticed and I actually thought a lot about this since it looks like a plothole (sorry if this answer will look like a mess and I won’t be able to add source since I’m on mobile, I’ll just say what I remember).
First of all, we know very little about angels in general, but for sure:
1) They can change their appearance as they want (see what Metatron did to become Sean or what Uriel did to take Kevin’s place).
2) They can possess human bodies (what Michael did - I would say that he did that maybe because it takes less power that changing his look, and he’s power deprived because he needs to sleep, but it’s only a guess based on the fact that the demons discovered him quicker than with Uriel or Metatron).
3) It was said that they have a “true form”, but we don’t know if what we saw in the chapters set in the past/in heaven was this true form.
I always thought that since we saw Uriel interacting with Solomon in the past only through William’s eyes, since it was in his visions, his appeareance was “distorted” based on what William actually knew of him, but since the last flashback when we see Michael is not related with William at all I am now just confused - probably the mangaka chose to keep their appearences the same to not confuse the readers, but I don’t find it a satisfying explanation— I hope someone who noticed more than me about this can comment too so we can come out with better theories!
