I don't see why everyone is so sure about Gumillia being the Master of the Hellish Yard, mothy gave a lot of indications, but he didn't say it. Let's face the facts, mothy did it a lot of times, like the girl of The Last Revolver being Gumillia or the Master of the Hellish Yard being Nemesis Sudou. Let's indeed face facts, as well as narrative implication.

1. In Seven Crimes and Punishments, Master of the Hellish Yard says a phrase that is very characteristic of Gumillia, i.e. "Use honorifics with your elders" in the exact same way she said to Allen and Yukina.

2. Gumillia by the end of the duel is in the Hellish Yard and wears a mask, and the chapter immediately after that is a woman wearing a mask in the Hellish Yard who condemns Gallerian in his dream.

Narrative-wise, it seems like a logical progression to show Gumillia-->Master, with the implication being (which might be subverted--in fact I think this might be the thing mothy wants to keep vague, as opposed to whether or not she is the master--I don't suggest we put this bit in at all yet) that she went mad with miasma.

3. This mask Gumillia wears is Seth Twiright, a member (probably the last) of the race that is called masks with wills/intentions, the true form of the Demon of Wrath. Hellish in SCaP is also noted to be wearing a mask of intentions by Hansel and is shown wearing the true form of the demon of wrath on the album cover.

Altogether I see these as very strong points in favor of Gumillia being Hellish. In my opinion they are conclusive evidence.

As for your points, Alchemist, there was not much effort on mothy's part to make us think the Last Revolver Girl was Gumillia compared to all the clues here, and I do believe Nemesis is still supposed to be considered Master of the Hellish Yard--in a sense that she thinks Evillious is Hell. (Discount Hellish.)

.......

That said, dem red nails are a screwball in any interpretation. Gumillia does not have red nails. Is painting your nails even a thing in EC

But I am not heavily invested in a merge, although I think it's more than enough to have one. This is closer to a Banica -->MotG situation than the parallel narratives I was so adamant against in the last debate over Hellish.
