An introduction about Ryo (I might update this post later) in Illusion’s lore:

He’s an alchemist and enchanter, also the former Head Magician of Vesuvia. He has complicated relationship with several Major Arcanas (especially The Devil) and of course, with some LIs. He has been around for thousands years. He holds most of the secrets around the plan of merging the 2 Worlds.

Do you think there are 2 The Devils/ actually The Devil we fight is not the real one?

Ok so this is just my theory, no assumption though happy to hear your opinion.

Do you ever think about how different The Devil (tarot meaning) is comparing to the archetype in The Arcana?

In tarot meaning, The Devil simply means indulgence and material pleasure. It also contains attachments, restrictions, commitment and limitations. Sounds like what? Yes Lucio in his golden times, party and such, with contracts and all. Nothing about being evil or malevolent. The Devil, like every other Major Arcana, is just an idea, a form of pure and ancient energy in human subconscious. He shouldn’t be bad or good since he doesn’t really reflect human emotions or desires but the spirit and thoughts. Though if he really reflects them, he should be somewhere like a party animal with crazy all days and nights celebrations, maybe sometimes gains contracts with human as exchange for commitment - not necessarily beneficial to him because does he actually care? Curiousity and entertainment may not the thing because it actually doesn’t fit his archetype if we sticks to the card meaning.

Those are the features of human. You can say maybe he attaches too much to human he might gains those characteristics but think about this: what if The Devil we see in the game is actually not the real Major Arcana? What if it really actually is just a human?

In Julian’s route, The Devil appeared in the Masquerade to offer a deal to both MC and Julian. Devs did mention before that The Arcana realm is separated from our human world, why can he travel to our world? That’s when I came up with this idea, that he’s not actually the real one.

Since Lucio is confirmed to possesed the same skill like The Fool, some of you might argue that The Devil uses his ability to travel to this world. There are some reasons that I’m still thinking about that this can’t persuade me. Lucio doesn’t train to use that ability, even The Fool still has to practise a lot (Nadia’s Reversed Ending) before they can actually open a gate from this world to another world. You may say The Devil might know about this but depends on his lack of fondness when working with Lucio, I suppose not.

Tldr; The Devil we know is not The real Devil.

Re-draw of "The Devil Wears Gucci” !

I started watching Vikings and as soon as I saw the hair styles I knew Shield Maiden Portia needed to be a thing

the rune on her earring is eihwaz, which I read means strength and reliability and that is absolutely how I see our fierce Pasha

She has the locks—

She has the war paint—

She’s ready to punch the Devil in the face
