As some of you may recall, there were a few necessary changes regarding information from the Sloth era, including The Last Revolver, which got hit pretty hard with what I judged a safe assumption for our articles to be supporting.

Nearly three months down the line and I have another major change:

'''We're removing The Last Revolver from articles. '''

The reasoning is simple. We cannot in good faith assume this song is canon in the current situation it's in.

To elaborate, we have a clarification in the Conchita novel for a bit of info mentioned earlier in the Fanbook, reinforcing the notion that Gumillia was present during the Duel of Merigod Plateau and only disappeared afterward.

On top of that, none of the databooks have so much as hinted that Gumillia is the identity of The Last Revolver's assailant, and mothy's only statement on the matter was that it was a hobby song and is not part of the Seven Deadly Sins series.

Therefore, all articles will remove information pertaining to The Last Revolver and that the notion of Santa being Julia and VIII. the Sniper being the singer.

As a reminder, '''this does not mean it's non-canon. '''

Unlike Kept Waiting For A Response and its situation, nothing from mothy states this song is not part of Evillious continuity, and it very well could be.

Just as well, there is a reference with Gumillia and The Last Revolver in Wiegenlied of Green, and the correlation between the singer and her revolver, Gumillia and her codename, and Santa and Julia cannot be denied.

This change only affects what we're supporting as confirmed canon. With the next installment in the Deadly Sins of Evil series forthcoming, it might just confirm TLR's canocity and we'll then be readding it to articles.

We are only putting this in the same camp as Wendy and other mothy songs that might be part of the Evillious series, but don't have strong enough evidence yet to be included in the line up.

If anything, everyone now has free reign to speculate anything and everything with the song, now that it's not limited to the assumptions we made. Who knows, it might even be indirectly connected to Wrath in some form. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
