My biggest problem with the song is that it gave me more questions than answers, you know? I'm seeing the crux of the disappointment comes from expectations vs results. A lot of you say "I expected". I was pleasantly surprised by the specific plot twists (Pere Noel and long lost daughter, o my), but almost everything that occurred was within my general expectations.

And not to pick on you Butler, but when has mothy's songs ever provided more answers than questions when they're released? I had this same conversation with Dany on chat.

The songs never explain anything and their primary purpose is to generate hype for his light novel releases (his main source of revenue for this series).

You can bet the mention of Pere Noel in the PV's going to get referenced or elaborated upon in the upcoming light novel.

Not to beat up on anyone as most of these criticisms are legitimate/subjective, but you can just look at mothy's history and see that anything he releases builds up for the next (or up to the next three) releases.

It's not like

And the biggest question...

Where was the flip'pin' key/dagger? If it's the vessel of Wrath, shouldn't it have been evident?' Besides The Tailor Shop of Enbizaka, where it's Kayo's murder weapon, I can't think of any of the SDS songs showing their actual vessel of sin in the song. Why would this be any different?

Personally, my biggest issue with the song was its terribad English during some instances. You can tell mothy used the wiki for some of the titles but when his other phrases definitely vary in akwardness and it took me out of the song the first few times.

That was back when Elluka was Elluka and not MA. Or everyone thinks she's part of MA. Not sure about that, either. Gumillia's VIII. the Sniper. Nemesis is "Eight".

You may have missed this announcement, but back at the end of May, I stated we were removing all info in our articles related to The Last Revolver.

I determined that, looking at all the evidence, there was not enough reason to assume The Last Revolver was definitely canon or that our interpretation of those events was accurate.

That was basically code for "wipe your brains of what you thought you knew and start from scratch."

Basically, it was only speculation that Gumillia was the character featured in The Last Revolver, a fanon assumption that we decided to remove until it was proven canon. As we can see, it's proven canon, but it's nothing like what was originally assumed.

I again apologize that we hadn't done this earlier.
