#I mean it looks like the HoO was passed down just like any signet at the end?

At the end of the day, I don't think the whole deal with the Herrscher of Origin made much sense yet.

Okay, she was Herrscher number "zero" and not the thirteenth...fine. But it should just mean that HoReason is actually the second. Just because the MOTHs (or Elysia herself) didn't know one of their own was born an Herrscher years before, it doesn't make it any less real and their count any less wrong. Like the fact alone that she wasn't the last one isn't enough to explain why HoReason was the first one to appear in this era. Granted, HoHuman doesn't really create a mess like the others apparently, but you can bet Otto would not just...miss an Herrscher, even if it was technically listed as the second to last in the PE records.

Hopefully Mei's Herrscher of Origin thing will clear things up, but so far it just seems like she inherited the HoO because Elysia loved her really really much.

Besides, their conclusion that Kevin should do project Stigmata because HoC was the last one before Finality... It's not like Binding and Death actually showed their faces at the end. Especially Death! You could make a point for Otto to be HoB at the end but nobody even knows about Seele's second personality. And she's not an Herrscher more than like...Sakura anyways.
