One issue with your theory: "revealed epitome os sins were suddenly ended at their peak of  suspense"

The term "epitome" is a fan term and has caused numerous misperceptions on these events regarding the sins. There is nothing in-universe to indicate they are more important than when someone else uses the vessel or is possessed by the demon.

So there isn't that much signifigance to the vessel of Wrath being involved other than the fact it has been ellusive and can injury the other demons. The Venom Sword and Glass of Conchita have also played important roles in this.

Then there's just my pet peeves:

Demon of Pride was gone long before Riliane and Clarith's actions, evident by the fact she was actually clearly learning and understanding earning things there. Also, as I posted earlier, Clarith and Rin's actions seem to be shifting years later than originally thought, and since Elluka and Gumillia note the demon is missing not long after they gave Clarith the sapling (Rin was found a week later), then the demon is more likely to have left around the time the palace was invaded or sometime after she fled before collapsing at the port town.

Also, the word used for "wrath" in some subs of JoC is "ikari" which is different than the "funnu" used in Chrono Story. The intended translation is difficult since no consistency appears for the words of rage, wrath, anger, etc. Saying it was because of wrath that Gallerian died is the same argument used for why Wrath killed Riliane or Wrath killed Margarita. Unless the actual Demon of Wrath possessed the leader of the initial riots (which could happen, you never know), Wrath's involvement.

There also have been some changes to Pride, Sateriasis Venomania, and Master of the Hellish Yard in some aspects so I'm not sure if you are aware of all the changes. We opted to keep off the topic since nothing is confirmed for Hellish being an awakened vessel, regardless of how obvious it may seem. She could be the awakened vessel. She could be just Gumillia. She could be something else entirely.

I think Wrath is going to have a prominent role in the story, but I don't think its as integral as some may think. Who knows. We'll see.
