Can you believe these two?? The way Miyano mirrors Sasaki’s motions because he’s completely head-over-heels in love with him too?? God I die

Hey, Cap, you hear me? Cap, it’s Sam. You hear me? On your left.

I agree with the last point you made. Greta is her own person and Yuuri and Wolf understand and support it. And, we all know that Yuuri, being raised on Earth, has accepted the circle of life and death and it's short span (even though we still don't know about his acceptance of his long life- if he would have one). Plus, Wolfram slowly accepting Conrart shows his slow acceptance of losing his loved ones while he is still 'young'. I am sure that the moment they thought of becoming a parent to Greta they must've, at some point, thought of this issue.

This just gave me a nice fanfic idea. Mind if I borrow it?

Something I’ve been curious about but haven’t seen anyone bring this up but since Greta is a human does that mean she’ll age Wayyy faster than her dads (wolf and yuri) like she’s human so she’ll age like one right? Hence her lifespan is much shorter, am I correct? (And like does this mean she might like die before them????)

Hi anon!

This has been brought up a couple of times over the years, but it’s always good to revisit the topic for the new fans. Option 1: They can all move to Earth and age at the same rate

The ‘moving to earth’ thing would be a fix to the problem. The fathers would only be slightly older, but they could still be a happy family and all age at the same rate. (I also think Takabayashi sensei is partial to the word ‘daddy’ in English for Wolf, as shown in her work.)  In Yuuri’s ‘dream’ Wolf and Greta aged at the same rate as him, meaning this is most likely what would happen if they moved to Earth.

However, Takabayashi sensei has said she does not want to have an ‘Earth arc’ (her excuse is that the anime team did it before she had a chance and now she can’t do it). Whether she’ll stick to this or not it’s up to her.

---------------------------------------------------------

Option 2: Magic/Majutsu/Maryoku

How did the mazoku end up aging so slowly? The green tribe. (novel 1) They’ve only been in Shin Makoku for 2000 years and people are already averaging a life span of 400 years (In “Do you want an exorcism?”, Yuuri said the "middle aged/old meddling neighbor lady” was about 250, 80x5= 400 ). 

Before the green tribe showed up mazoku aged at the same rate as humans. It was the green tribe’s healing majutsu that caused the longevity of mazoku. In fact, earth mazoku age at the same rate as humans. The difference being that there’s no maryoku on earth.

What about Yuuri, what is it that he does again? Oh right, yeah, his box is the box of regeneration. And what else can he do? Yup, healing.

And who has he healed already? Greta.  In fact, Greta is the only person he has healed. He tried healing Wolf, too, but he would let him. 

An absolute possibility is that Greta gets so irradiated with healing majutsu that it will naturally slow her aging.

---------------------------------------------------------

Option 3: Natural aging, but it’s okay

Yes, Greta is the cute little princess of Shin Makoku now, but she’s getting educated to be queen. Remember when in novel 4, Hyscliff told Yuuri, what if her people want her back? What if she becomes queen? Shouldn’t she be prepared? Yuuri agreed and sent her to study abroad. In fact, she spends half her life getting educated to be queen.

Yes, she wants to be a ‘trap lady’ and have adventures now. She would love following in Anissina’s footsteps. But she’s 10.

Greta could very much end up having to return to Svelera. Currently, the revolutionary government is ‘destroying monuments of the past’ to erase the memories. So clearly people are still very much remembering their monarchs. She might be given a chance to go back. What if she’s 16+ and can choose? What if she wants to do it?  There’s a another huge possibility that she’ll have to part from Yuuri and Wolf’s side much sooner. At 16, Yuuri would be 22.

But it’s okay. It’s life. When Yuuri had to see her leave for Cavalcade there were tears too, but it’s part of growing up. And if Greta wants to return to her country, she should.

She’ll marry, have a family and Yuuri and Wolf will have time to adapt to her being away, being grandparents, visiting, etc.

Greta will grow up one way or another. Who wants to be a kid forever? And that’s okay. When people say “Omg! she’ll age way faster!" it’s like they forget that parents don’t really have their kids at home forever. Sure you visit your kids and grand kids, but you don’t live with them. You let them go be their own person.

People make it seem like ‘she’s dying now!’, but that’s not it. She’ll grow older and separate from her fathers long before she dies. She’ll live a full life, marry? rule? have adventures? have kids? all of this in her own life without her fathers, long before she dies. (I know, they’ll visit; but if you’re old enough to understand, you know living with parents and getting a visit once a month, or every half a year, is not the same)

And sure, yeah. It’ll be sad if she passes of old age and Yuuri and Wolf are still young, but look! It’s okay. 

Culturally, we say things like “A parent should never bury a child” but that’s only because due to the rules of our bodies, if a child dies before the parents it is due to a tragic event/ illness” not because they lived their lives to the fullest.

We have many cultural pre-conceptions that wouldn’t apply, if , like in this case, both the parent and child can live long fulfilled lives. As the child of old parents, I wouldn’t mind if they they were young and lived happily while I die of old age. Who would? They’re family and you love them. 

When it comes to a fantasy world like this, we need to expand our mind a little bit and try to get rid of cultural bias to understand what a full natural life cycle would entail when it comes to Greta aging and Yuuri and Wolf’s perception of it.

(analysis ) Healing, maryoku and longevity

I’m back at trying to figure out things in maruma. 

Canon

1) In novel 1, Gunter said that mazoku owe their longevity to the healing hands tribe. The tribe has been in Shin makoku for 2000 years, and they got there because humans persecuted them and drove them out. 2) In further novels we learn that: 1) mazoku get sick if there are houryoku stones around, and that they can’t use their majutsu if they don’t have elements to control. - Majutsu (ma skills) then, seems to be the power of controlling MA elements with your maryoku (ma power). How well you can do it connects solely to the “quality” of your soul, but it still needs training. Something like: you have a max cap in your ability, but you need training to reach that max. (Julia talks about training for decades in “Falling in love”). - Healing powers are not well explained. ————————————————————————————————-

Analysis

First question: Is healing for mazoku connected to maryoku?

We can infer that ‘Yes, it is’… because Adalbert uses houjutsu to heal Yuuri, and it feels different and stings and such… so, it’s fair to say that the same applies to mazoku and that they use their majutsu for healing.

But here’s the thing: the green tribe didn’t have maryoku before reaching Shin Makoku. 

Second question: Is healing majutsu the same as ‘healing hand tribe’ power?

And here the answer is YES. I just went through the canon and realized it’s actually IN THERE!  Novel 10, chapter 6

(Gisela) “The closer we get to Seisakoku, the stronger the discomfort, and it’s possible that majutsu can’t be used either, naturally the same goes for the abilities of the ‘healing hand tribe’ . But Your Excellency, I just hope you will understand this. Healing was never just majutsu. The true essence of healing is the healer’s heart, a kind heart is a necessity, and the most important thing is the modesty of wanting to heal the wounded.”

But then HOW could they use it before getting to Shin Makoku?????

Third question: Can the healing hand tribe use their abilities in human territory?

One might infer YES, because they came from human territory because their long life and healing abilities were scaring the humans, so yes? So here’s the real question… why didn’t Gisela save Julia. I mean… she was right there. Julia had time to ask her to burn her body so… yo Gisela what’s up with that?

Fourth question: If the healing hand tribe are to be thank for mazoku’s long life, and their abilities are not maryoku-related, can we infer it’s simply them healing mazoku that made them live longer?

I would say Yes. What other reason would there be? It would also explain why mazoku age differently. The more healing, the longer you live. The traits seem to also be passed down through generations. Otherwise there’d be mazoku who live the same as humans if they never needed healing.  (Such as earth mazoku who never got the healing)

So 2000 years of healing and passing down those traits has made most mazoku look 1/5th of their age when compared to human beings.

————————————————————————————————-

Fifth Question: What about the odd ones?

Cherie, Ulrike, Chevallier. How can Chevallier look younger than Cherie if he’s older than her and was also a maou? How can Ulrike have such a different aging!? As you may have notice they’re all related to Shinou, so he’s definitely doing something to them, but what precisely would be guessing.  Hope you enjoyed~!

Lovely!💖

Anime: Kyou kara maou

Parring: Yuuram ( Yuuri x Wolfram)

Lineart: @hrabiaphantomhive75

Couldn't agree more on the last one!!

Now that I think about

YOI and KKM (Kyou Kara Maou) have a lot in common

Both focus on a young Japanese male named Yuuri (Though one is in his twenties while the other is still in high school…and likes baseball rather than ice skating)

That later get romantically involved with a foreigner (one is on accident though)

Though the difference is with the two in KKM, they OFFICIALLY adopted not one but TWO children already. One of them is a freaking dragon

(@Victuuri: Get to it!!)

Also, unfortunately, neither pair are married yet as of right now as we speak

LET THEM GAYS BE MARRIED GODDAMN IT

Edit: I FORGOT TO ADD

BOTH OF THE MAIN COUPLE FIRST KISS ARE BOTH HIDDEN

SHOW US THE DETAILS YOU COWARDS

🤣🤣🤣

We're living on scraps in this fandom
