Love me Nacht and the Bremen devil quartet. I love that Nacht just has Little Guys™️ with him all the time. But their dynamic is always changing in my mind. Or perhaps it’s that I view the dynamic to be multiple things at once.
But let me ask you folks.
So I think I know why Nacht Faust's devils—Gimodelo, Plumede, Slotos, and Walgner—are based on "The Town Musicians of Bremen."
Hello everyone, how your day as been? Hope it is good, okay, let's do some headcanons about Gimodelo and the others, sorry for the potential errors it may have, i will try my best as always, withou nothing more to say, let's go:
That is all, thanks everyone for read and liking my post, sorry for the potential errors it may have, i will try my best in the future, have a nice day/evening/afternoon/night and week for all
Okay ,let's go with our favorite vice captain, he have four devils, all of them with diferent traits and asosiated with animals, in contrast with the rest of the devil users, Gimodelo and company seems profit from the shadow magic, begin capable to mix their devil powers with that atributte very well and, in contrast with the Zogradis siblings and Morris, the relics asociated with them are togheter in a necklace he always wears, let's see more better that forms:
1. Canis:
This is focused in attack, capable to create beast of shadows for a surprise attacks and hide with them, the shadows forms the clothes and gives him enogh movility to evade attacks and maniobrate in the darkness, combine it with his mana zone, you have a really good hit and run strategy, add the beasts criatures for comfusion/extra hits and the oponent have a really bad time here, the horns and tail are clear asociated with Gimodelo, also the marks, the whole outfit is spectacular.
2. Equus:
Slotos has the endurance as his principal atrubutte, the armor is really heavy, reducing the movility in charge for the defense, the shields are really strong, capable to tank Dante's punches and gravity, Nacht also has some movility still with it, capable to deliver a kick to Dante and move enogh to evade some attacks from the devil twins, the horns, marks and tail are from Slotos, the ponytail charges a bit here, begin more fixed than in others forms, the big shields are conected with chains in the arms, impressive.
3. Felis
Plumede atribute is agility, also has the capacity to see trought the shadows with an specific spell, the whole form is made for fast moves, there is not defense or attack here, just dodge and evasion, maybe some hand to hand combat ability can be done to compensate the lack of attack, this for looks similar to a ninja, with a scraf and hood to hide the rest of Nacht's hair, also is added more belts in the arms, the horns, tail and marks are asosiated with Plumede, cool, really cool
4. Gallus
Wagnar can paralitze the oponents, even can affect high ranked devils long enogh for them to Nacht make a move or think a next movement, that form can also fly, gaining some oportunity to evade attacks and continue paralitzing his oponents for a long time, black feathers forms the chest of the outfit, and a little cape in the part of the wings, like in all the unions the hands are transformed in claws, the horns, marks and tail asociated with Wagnar are here too, marvelous.
This are the base forms, all of them with a different trait, but lacks others (Canis seems the more complete of them in that therm), however, with four devils, came a more advance unions forms, all boostes the magic power of the user and mix some of their traits, in that state, Nacht adquires similar power of an high ranked devil:
1. GallusxFelis:
The first one, quite monstruos in some parts, the legs are more animalesque, the hands trutly became claws and the whole aperance is more like a beast, this form combines agility and the capacity to paralitze the oponents, the tail is fused in one, the horns are now four and the mana it consumes is more great, impressive
2. CanisxEquus:
The second one, the heavy armor now covers all the body and the shields charges a bit in aperance, the face is covered with an helm, givin it a more bulky aperance, in that form, Nacht sumons two massive hell dogs to attack or restaing, these dogs have the same horns of this form, it was enogh efective, enogh to made Lucifero use magic for the first time since he apeared, in the helm, you can see the two devil's marks, trutly a badass
3. CanisxFelis
The last form for the moment, the aperance is quite similar to a knight, giving Nacht agility and the posibility to attack, there are some black furr in his shoulders, he uses the boost of magic to combine this with Yami, creating that endless sinergy with the shadow x dark magic combo, creating clones of him and Yami to distract Lucifero, the armor seems to be quite resistent too, the hat, now is more like an half helm, everything asociated to Gimodelo and Plumede are here
One thing i do notice about Nacht's forms is, in all of them, part of his face is covered, it seem some short of meaning, like he don't want the others to see how he is or how he feels deep down, maybe am thinking too much, how knows?
I feel the boost the fused forms are a bit wasted, there are alot of strategy Nacht can use in battle and his magic is versatile enogh for that, with the talent and potential he had, some time and training, he would be one of the strongest mages for sure, well, now, he can do that for sure, if someone had something to aport to this post, feel free to do that.
I hope it is good and thanks everyone for read, i will try my best to improve in the future my writing and have a nice day/evening/afternoon/night and week for all
wait hold on.
Nacht has four devils, that's nice and all but did the manga ever mention what their attributes were? I don't think I missed it so is Nacht not utilizing them in any way except unite mode?
It could be that all four of the Bremen devils have the exact same magic attribute as Nacht (Shadow Magic) and just have different ways of utilizing it (such as Noelle and Lolopechka both having Water Magic but Noelle being an offensive spell caster while Lolo is a support mage) and Nacht uses their devilish mana to empower his own shadows.
Gimodelo and his "Pack" power reflects how a single object can give off multiple shadows if surrounded by multiple light sources. Plumede is speed as, complementary to the speed of light is the concept of "speed of shadows." Walgner's power makes me think of the phrase "things that go bump in the night," given that people tend to fear and thus freeze up at sounds they cannot see the source of. And then Slotos's defenses might be related to how shadows can have varying degrees of darkness, thus "strength." It doesn't make much sense but I have no other way to explain how shadows would relate to endurance/toughness.
But well, it seems... not unlikely but just strange. I mean, the Bremen devils already have similar true forms (roughly human-sized bodies covered in black fur/feathers with a "mask" representing what animal they are). And then for them to have the exact same attribute as each other and Nacht is strange. At least in the human realm, Shadow Magic is hinted to be rare since it's complementary to Light and synchronizes with Dark Magic. Who can say how rare that attribute is in the Underworld?
Could it be that the Bremen devils are siblings (kind of like Lilith and Namaah)? It would explain why all four have similar appearances, being both not that monstrous looking but not humanoid looking (think Liebe and the supreme devils we've seen).
Another thought that has crossed my mind on the train of "the devils all have Shadow Magic," is that maybe the Bremen devils have been passed down through the Faust family for a while. At least in Nacht and his father's case, Shadow Magic runs in the family. It would make sense to pass down the relics of devils with an attribute that matches the family's dominant magic.
But that's just wild speculation.
On the other hand, assuming that the Bremen devils have their own unique magic attributes separate from Nacht's...
Nacht wielding more than one element of magic... Powerful vibes...
