#derriere is thetis?

Time for some ✨theories✨

What? New shady Chaos Knights? And one has Goddess powers? Oh no. Oh NO.

Who is this motherfucker? And what's he doing to best girl Gawain?

Okay I'm pretty sure this guy is either a more or less brainwashed Mael or some other kind of demon-goddess hybrid by the looks of his mask. (Very similar to Mael when he went apeshit in NNT). Very possible that he's some Goddess Zombie of a character we already know. Maybe some Archangels. Maybe not. His sleeves look similar to Mael's outfit too. Maybe Arthur infueled one of his knights with Goddess magic, maybe he straight up fused someone.

My guess is: this guy's the reanimated corpse of Denzel Liones mixed with Nerobasta's magic. Look at the sword. It would be fun to have them back if we ended up meeting Derriere's reincarnation *cough* Thetis? *cough*

Or maybe he's NANASHI?

Either way FACE REVEAL, WHEN?

Nervous, is she? There's light tremor in her shoulders as she stopped her walk of shame in the middle of the street and started PRAYING.

" H-hey, God! It's me, your best limbo girl, Thetis! Super sorry I didn't get in touch sooner... y-y'know how it gets sometimes! Schedules are all messed up and... ANYWAY! The point! The point that I'm- the point I'm trying to- L-LOOK! I messed up! Had too much to drink, heh... AGAIN. You know how I get when I'm drunk! I mean, it's not like I prefer the wild lifestyle of Hell over your, um, VERY HOLY DOMAIN, of course not! Pshh! This place HARDLY compares to the glory of Heaven!

So, um...

I know you probably saw me getting that HELL ROCKS 5EVER tattoo on my... derriere, so to speak, but just to be sure we're clear, I was TOOOOOTAAAALLLYYYY pressured by these lowly sinners to do it!

You know I would NEVER say such blasphemous things, right? 'Course not! I mean, c'mon! I'm THETIS, y-your favourite unbiased middle-realmed woman! "

She stopped her rambling, squeezing eyes shut for a brief moment as she swallowed audibly and squeezed her hands through her interlaced fingers.

"PLEASEDONTFIREMEILLGETITREMOVEDTHURSDAY! "

My two cents on the Thetis is Derriere reincarnated theory

Written after chapter 79

Y'all, I hear you. I get where you're coming from. I want my girl back too.

But do you really think she would take a single order from Meliodas ever again in her newly aquired life?

When Mael uses the spell on her and Oslo, he states they will reborn with all their memories intact, so they may have the chance to enact their revenge on him, should they choose to.

As if former Ten Commandments Derriere would willingly put herself under the traitor that caused two Holy Wars and killed a shit ton of her comrades, two of them very close ones when he first left the Demon Clan. Now maybe she just does it for Elizabeth and doesn't give or take two shits from Meliodas, but frankly, I doubt it. It would be low-key hilarious, but no.

And if she kept her memories, why would she change her name?

Then the way she's introduced, with her chuckling and clearly knowing what's going on over in the fight when Elizabeth expresses her worry? I don't think we've seen Derriere laugh audibly once in the series (correct me please). That argument's a bit farfetched, I know.

It's not a secret that Nakaba has a terrific case of same face syndrome. Nasiens, Guinevere, and Gawain are all a blueprint of Diane's design. Now maybe there's a connection between Nasiens and them, maybe there's a reason they look so much alike and we just don't know it yet. And if it's only a plot device for later (I've had this idea for a while that Nasiens could pretend to be either of them at some point to fool Arthur and his knights). But tbh I think it's just same face syndrome.

It would kinda fuck if Thetis was Derriere, if only because she's one of the few entirely new characters with no connection to the prequel so far, and it feels kinda strange. But I think there are way better ways to pull her off, so I hope she isn't. I really doubt it's her.

Then again Guinevere is twelve and Jericho in love with Lancelot so I wouldn't put it beyond him lol.
