User blog:Seven Heavenly Virtues/Analysis of the cover of Seven Crimes and Punishments

Mothy’s work is rich in symbolism, and understanding them might help clarifying future points in the story. The Nemesis poem, for example, gives details of the story as far as Seven Crimes and Punishments [1]. The cover of Seven Crimes and Punishments features two covers: one “limited edition” cover has all the seven sinners. It’s not a surprise they are a key to understanding the story of the Sin ark. The regular cover, on the other hand, has Allen, Clockworker’s doll, and five other sin characters.

Who are they?



Left: regular cover. Right: limited edition cover.

Here is what we have identified so far: Gumi: at first, we are led to believe the person with the mask is Nemesis and that the mask is the most important feature of this character. However, we learned with the Pierrot novel she fell in the Hellish Yard and did not manage to escape. If that is true, the vessel did not have much better chances to escape. People on the chat have theorized the demon represents the mask, but Ichika illustrates it again here. In this design, it looks like a small bat:

Why does this demon look like Gumillia if we have just learned Seth Twiright is the Demon of Wrath?









Pig: identified as World Eater, Conchita’s “Ultimate Dead Soldier”. Not much is known about it, except that it served Conchita’s goal: defeat the gods and Irina Clockworker. It has not appeared after the Merigod battle [2]. It seems to work as Conchita's tool instead of being an independent demon. Allen: imprisoned by Sickle on a black box. He was allowed to leave sometimes. Why was he imprisoned on the box? What is special about him?</li> Clockworker’s doll: possibly Eve. Before the translation of Pierrot’s novel, everyone was expecting that Eve would merge with MA. However, things do not seem so simple in this battle. Conchita suddenly got involved, and it is quite possible it was her, and not Eve, who merged with MA instead.</li> Owl: matches Gallerian's position. Nothing was released about it yet except an image by Ichika.</li> Goat: matches Venomania's position. It could have appeared in Story of Evil, but there is nothing that decisively ties the voice of the Vessel of Lust to the goat.</li> Center creature: matches Kayo's position. The first manifestation of its personality was in Quartets of Evil. It is often confused as a crab [3]. Not very intelligent and does not like to talk. We don't know its name yet.</li> <p class="MsoNormal" padding:0cm;mso-padding-alt:0cm 0cm 16.0pt 0cm"> <h3 class="MsoNormal" padding:0cm;mso-padding-alt:0cm 0cm 16.0pt 0cm">Conclusion We don't know much about these demons, but we know there is a big symbolism on the cover. These characters are big players in the story of Evillious, and will be even bigger players deciding the fate to come. Expect updates to this page as we learn more about them.
