* It's known that after Vigilance's death, Drazil grabbed his soul and modified him into Gig, so he could run roughshod over Haephnes' world and send all its souls to Drazil. It's possible that Drazil, in his arrogance, maybe made Gig a little too powerful to handle, and it was only Gig's newfound love for slaughtering people that kept him from deciding to turn on Drazil. That, or the binding process that bound Gig to Revya (using a Crimson Tear) unlocked something with Gig's powers.

** Because Gig's still alive, currently possessing Revya and still Haphness's rightful Master of Death in the end.

* We can infer from context that anyone killed by someone from another world has their soul go to that world. Hence, a normal human sent to another world would technically be a World Eater in that world... but they wouldn't be hugely powerful. The "World Eaters" that we're used to thinking of are powerful beings who were further empowered and twisted by Gamma, Joules, and Drazil; that empowerment doesn't actually have anything to do with them being World Eaters.

* Trish's like that because the party was too late in saving her from Hawthorne, who in the Normal Story is revealed to have done the same thing to several other girls, raping and then murdering them on or just after their 17th birthday. The party got there to save her from the killing, but were too late on the rape. She basically went through what [[spoiler:Caska]] went through in {{Berserk}} in a somewhat lesser degree.

[[WMG: What's with DeathIsCheap in this game?]]
It's really inconsistent when it comes to gods. Sorting out the cases:
* [[spoiler: Median killing Vigilance. Vigilance's soul is stolen, but he regains a body almost identical to his original, as well as the ability to reap souls. If the Master of Life can apparently resurrect herself, why couldn't the Master of Death do the same?]]
* Not to mention that in TheStinger, [[spoiler: Gig comes back to life with all his memories, and fully grown.]]
* [[spoiler: In the Median Ending, Median killing Virtuous. She says the world collapses because there is no Master of Life or Death anymore, but...]]
* [[spoiler: Virtuous is fine when Levin kills her. Maybe it's because she's the Master of Life, but that's not consistent with the above post.]]
* [[spoiler: Gig kills Gamma, Joules, and Drazil in the end. Apparently, this would destroy the world of Drazil, for two reasons a) according to the Median Ending, killing both the Masters destroys the world and b) plain killing Drazil destroys the world in the Bad Demon Path Ending.]]
* [[spoiler: Layna killing Virtuous. Maybe she gets a free pass because she's the Master of Life, but see first example.]]
* [[spoiler: Gig killing Layna and Virtuous. He implies that it's possible to cheat death with an extra soul, but that just raises more questions. Maybe Virtuous can resurrect herself, but if Gig sent all the souls he reaped to Drazil, how could he have missed this?]]

[[WMG: What is a World Eater?]]
[[spoiler: Layna]] says that a World Eater is [[spoiler: a person sent to other worlds by the gods, but that alone isn't a good explanation. Why do they have the power to eat souls? How did Revya arrive from Drazil? Why does young Layna have a new body after she gave hers to Virtuous? Layna also mentions that she wonders why some World Eaters are giant, but...]]

to:

* Maybe it's because Dio is a title, not an actual name.
* In the scene where Odie gets dominated, Odie is the one who suggests that it might be the name. At the point, Odie doesn't seem to have any experience with dominion. Maybe it's not the name. Maybe it's a condition that was lifted simultaneously with telling the name, like consent (not necessarily consent).



Everyone else has a reason for snapping, but she comes alreddy crazy.

** Another question is [[spoiler: why the world didn't fall apart when Virtuous was killed by Levin]], assuming the above is true.

[[WMG: Why is Gig so absurdly powerful?]]
It makes sense that he's powerful, since he's a god, but why is he so powerful that [[spoiler: He could kill Gamma, Joules, and Drazil in one shot?]] What story reason would justify that?

**The entire setup is 'A final boss battle from the boss's side'. Thus the 'enemy' winning is the Good Ending in that the heroes win.

**Given Layna and Danette's ending, it's presumed that Layna is holding the world together.

[[WMG:Median Bad Ending]]
Why does [[spoiler: Median killing Virtuous destroy the world. The plot uses the reason in that Haephness losing its Master of Life and Master of Death destroys, but in the normal ending you do the exact same thing on Drazil, along with killing its ruler.]]

* Isn't it the birth of Revya's past life as Meridian's child and not the current one? Who said that you had to keep the same sex in another life? Heck, the Gods even ask you what you want to be as you get reincarnated.

** Gig is a master of death, the one person who knows the ins and outs of reincarnation. If it's possible at all to change gender through reincarnation, he would know it, even if only subconsciously. Plus, the dream wasn't his because he was never human so, he connected the dots.

* The same question goes for [[spoiler:Ghestal/Median]] in [[spoiler:the Demon Path]]

to:

** Odie doesn't submit to the name Dio. He believes his name is Odie. That is why he cannot consent with a fake name. It's the inverted case as Dio, whose real name isn't that but he adopts it as his own and Endorph, whose true name is [[spoiler:Faded]], his name as Chroma Oxide is Walnut, and his name in the Soul Nomad universe is Endorph. He recognizes the name 'Endorph' as his own. [[spoiler:'Levin']] submits to the fake name because he believes the shell's name is the one that matters, and thus adopts it as his own for as long as he inhabits the shell. He tells [[spoiler:Endorph]] to keep calling him [[spoiler:Levin]] even after his true identity is revealed.
* The same question goes for [[spoiler:Ghestal/Median]] [[spoiler:Gehstall/Median]] in [[spoiler:the Demon Path]]Path]]
** He had no memories of his past as [[spoiler:Lord Median]], so at that point he did truly believe his name was [[spoiler:Gehstall]]

to:

\n** In short, he just believes he is useless, and being a pessimist about his own abilities makes him underplay them himself, and the rest of the crowd don't see his true potential.
