History WMG / TheWorldGodOnlyKnows

** LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya.

** [[spoiler: Not to be a spoil-sport, but either theory would make the main plot one massive pile of IncestIsRelative.]]

** in Film/TheMatrix.

** Basically Confirmed. [[spoiler:Kaori]] fits the bill for a lot of his counterpoints quite nicely, and this is acknowledged by both of them, except that [[spoiler:Kaori]] insists that they are NotSoDifferent. Despite all of this, Keima's [[MagnificentBastard mangificent bastardry]] is too much and he handily prevails in the end. She certainly was no EldritchAbomination in the literal sense, but was creepy enough to fit for an entry in the NightmareFuel page.

* This theory may also be a bit jossed judging from her reaction during the last chapter of the Festival Arc, [[spoiler: [[http://mangafox.me/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v19/c189/14.html where she got to see the Goddesses with their wings deployed...]]]]

Considering how much of the story seems to be getting alluded to in the omakes, I can't exactly let [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v12/c116.5/5.html this one]] slide.

** Mappy's apperances: in Seikesshou Albatross, [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/seikesshou_albatross/v02/c008/11.html here]] and [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/seikesshou_albatross/v02/c008/12.html here]] talking to Rika; in TWGOK, [[http://manga.redhawkscans.com/reader/read/the_world_god_only_knows/en/0/7/page/8 here]] talking with Chihiro and Elsea.
** The three delinquents appearances: in Seikesshou Albatross, [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/seikesshou_albatross/v01/c001/11.html here]] and [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/seikesshou_albatross/v01/c001/12.html here]] bullying Asakura, and [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/seikesshou_albatross/v01/c001/13.html here]] wielding their weapons against Yuki; in TWGOK, [[http://manga.redhawkscans.com/reader/read/the_world_god_only_knows/en/0/18/page/4 here]] and [[http://manga.redhawkscans.com/reader/read/the_world_god_only_knows/en/0/18/page/5 here]] confronting Elsea and Keima, [[http://manga.redhawkscans.com/reader/read/the_world_god_only_knows/en/0/18/page/7 here]] Ryou wielding a weapon against Kusunoki.

* The [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/seikesshou_albatross/v01/c001/23.html observatory]] from Seikesshou Albatross is seen in a picture in the Shiratori house [[http://manga.redhawkscans.com/reader/read/the_world_god_only_knows/en/0/209/page/7 here]].

Okay a friend pointed this out to me on the latest chapter last panel [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v17/c166/14.html is that a collar!!!?!?]]around her neck!!! What the bloomin' hell is going on there! Could be an error, could be that Chihiro is contracted just like Keima to capture loose souls, perhaps the entire arc was her trying to capture Keima for this purpose! Though even if this is the case she most likely has legitimate feelings for Keima, as she's tearing up when he goes all jerk-ass on her. Perhaps she was offered this job because of how many guys she tried to confess her love to! Or perhaps the presence of the collar could simply symbolize the fact that Keima is perceiving her as trying to capture him!
* [[http://manga.redhawkscans.com/reader/read/the_world_god_only_knows/en/0/188/page/18 The collar is not always there.]] And the uniform says "1B", when Chihiro is supposed to be on class 2B. Maybe those were mistakes of the artist?

All the new devils in Earth are members of Runaway Spirit Squad (at least on the paper), which means Fiore and Lune have human partners and considering the last panel of the [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v17/c166/14.html picture]] posted in the above {{WMG}}, Chihiro could be one.

C'mon. It fits like peanut butter with jelly. On ''toast''. She's the {{Heir To The Dojo}} with a {{HiddenHeartOfGold}}. spoiler: Mars is one of the more worshiped gods in ancient Rome; he's the god of war, [[{{Heir To The Dojo}} second to only the Big Boss Jupiter. Mars was also the god of agriculture, and the {{HiddenHeartOfGold}} she shows matches the description well. Oh and, Mars [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v03/c020/18.html acts before he thinks]]. Sounds like someone we know? Doesn't stop there: [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v11/c106.5/9.html Kusunoki still has]] [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v03/c026.5/5.html feelings for Keima]]

* As of [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v14/c132/14.html Chapter 132]], Keima definitely seems to have come to that conclusion. Note that Tsukiyo's omake chapter is completely from Luna's point of view - and suddenly, what appeared to be a throwaway gag [[CerebusRetcon has taken on an eerie significance]]. To elaborate further...

Credit goes to Aea and M.A.D. of the Mangafox forums [[FridgeBrilliance for noting the following points]]:

* Also, at his birth, he was [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v05/c046.5/7.html cast down from Olympus... and went lame as a result.]] Granted, Luna has both legs intact in this chapter, but the parallels remain valid.
** [[http://manga.redhawkscans.com/?manga=The+World+God+Only+Knows&chapter=TWGOK+133#page=5 ...Jossed!]] (Heh.) Tsukiyo has Vulcan, and it seems that Luna is sentient and animate as a result of Vulcan's powers.

** I think you're wrong. [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v10/c096.5/7.html Her reflection has a different expression and hair style.]] I think she definitely has a goddess.

Think about it: if she doesn't have a goddess, then she has forgotten all about the capture, thus Keima is a stranger to her. Now, let's say she still has some lingering affection towards him, or she just thinks he's cute, and decides to talk to him. [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v13/c125/5.html Why the confession?]] Why insisting on going after him even after finding out he's making a move on other girls(and multiple ones at the same time, at that) as well? This is Keima we're talking about. He's the capturing god, sure, but when he's not trying to capture a girl, he's just your average otaku. Why would a girl, any girl, go after an antisocial otaku [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v14/c129/7.html playboy]]? But, if she does have a goddess, it all makes sense. She still loves him, and this explains her behavior; as for the details, I think she's still just starting to remember, since she didn't get much love to feed the goddess. Kanon too didn't remember everything right away, and Yui was captured much later. So what if she didn't get angry? If that was the only parameter to find a host, then Tenri would be out, too. She didn't get angry even after finding out exactly how Keima was capturing runaway spirits, and not because she knows he has no choice, but because she is just so shy, and happy enough to just being able to talk with him from time to time. Yui is, or at least became, much more assertive than Tenri, so she just decided to not care about the rumor about Keima and Kanon and instead is trying to get the guy. And if you add her reflection in the "Yui after" chapter, it takes away every possible doubt. Out of the four candidates, I'd say the one without a goddess is Chihiro, since she is [[TheGenericGuy the normal girl]], furthermore the author expressly said he likes Ayumi's character, and the fandom seems to like Shiori. The only flaw in this reasoning is that it's far too obvious, so, if not Chihiro, it's either Ayumi or Shiori, but not Yui. WallOfText.

* To elaborate some more, she was the first captured girl and has showed some vague flags to Keima. Like [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v11/c102/16.html here]] [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v12/c108/17.html and]] [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v12/c108/18.html here.]]
* [[http://www.mangareader.net/120-21979-9/the-world-god-only-knows/chapter-55.html This effort is a little exaggerated.]]
* It seems that goddesses have characteristics similar to their hosts ([[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v12/c114/8.html Apollo]] is the goddess of arts), so perhaps she'll have Mercury?

** In addition to the above, note that [[spoiler:Mercury was the god of trade, based off of the greek god Hermes. [[EpilepticTrees Now while this may be a bit of a stretch]] Hermes the messenger god whom Mercury's stories are adapted from was famous for his winged boots and fast speed.]] Now while Ayumi was naturally fast on her own before and after the [[spoiler: capture]],[[spoiler: [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v12/c108/16.html please note the amount of distance she puts between herself and the others in the race]]. But if we're just going on roman god(dess) theories here then then I believe as a god of trade that Mercury must be fast moving.]] Last point if Keima is right on his theory that [[spoiler: all the goddess's were put near him so he could help them regain their strength though [[ThePowerOfLove The Power Of Love]]]] Ayumi is one of the closest girls to him, seeing as they normally get stuck sweeping together, and seem to have a history of doing the chore together [[spoiler:even before the captures started]]

[[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v15/c139/19.html Foreshadowing anyone?]]

* Two pieces of evidence point against this: firstly, Nikaido was in the basketball team with Jun back when they were in school together and wasn't wearing a collar back then [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v05/c039/18.html]]. If she was also in the Spirit Retrieval Squad and lived up to her reputation, it wouldn't make any sense for her not to have a partner at that time. Secondly, when Nikaido teased Akari/Rimuyel about Keima, Akari stated that she was the source of Nikaido's power[[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v12/c113/18.html]]. Unless this troper is completely mistaken, the buddy is there only for drawing out the spirit but doesn't actually provide any power behind the spirit capture.

A runaway spirits targets only girls because they want to reincarnate as their first born child, but the goddess are just hiding, so they shouldn't have such limitation. [[EpilepticTrees There is very little evidence to support this theory]], maybe just two things: Keima was next to Tenri when she became the host of Diana and it makes little sense to me that [[InvisibleToNormals a demon's partner can see the supernatural]] (Haqua's partner didn't show any reaction to the runaway spirit possessing that girl in FLAG 49). Anyway, [[ImagineSpot just think about it]]... [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome wouldn't it be awesome to see how he capture himself?]].

** [[spoiler: Not to be a spoil-sport, but either theory would make the main plot one massive pile of IncestIsRelative. [[FetishFuel Of course, you probably already noticed that.]]]]
