You know what absolutely useless feature would save Obey Me? Event outfits being usable in game anytime. Just imagine Belphegor killing MC while wearing his cute little cow onesie. Lucifer pledging his loyalty to Diavolo while wearing his swimsuit and his toes out. Meanwhile Diavolo is wearing a bunny outfit. Absolutely nobody questions anything. Please just picture this pleaseee

Barbatos and Solomon's first meeting and a theory of mine, aka: what if Solomon summoned Barbatos to save his friend?

WARNING: SPOILERS FOR SWD S3 AND NB S1 AHEAD

Okay, so we've had pieces of info about their first meeting for a while now, but after collecting everything I could on these two to make my recent posts I was able to put them together and here it is.

First, there are the two times the story was briefly told in Obey Me! SWD, this one being from lesson 53-16 when Asmo discusses his first meeting with Solomon and then asks Barbatos about his:

And this next one being from lesson 49-A when Asmo asks about it for the first time and Solomon doesn't want to tell him:

And we learn what happened in the aftermath from Thirteen when she tells us about it in Obey Me! NB lesson 11-10:

So Solomon risked his life to summon Barbatos using an incantation and was left on the brink of death because of it, all because he "desperately needed his powers to control time", and after their interaction and whatever happened there, Barbatos took him to the Fountain of Knowledge and declared him the new protector of it.

By the way, they didn't make a pact during their first meeting but later on instead, or at least that's what I got from Barbatos saying:

I'm saying this because "eventually" is vague enough to be open to interpretation and could mean that they did make a pact during their first meeting and that it only took some bargaining for Barbatos to agree. But the way I saw it was that the pact was made later on.

So, the questions left unanswered from this are:

1 ) What made Solomon want to control time badly enough for him to seriously risk his life for it?

2 ) Did Barbatos help Solomon by using his powers to control time like he wanted him to?

Because it never says that Barbatos agreed to Solomon's "desperate need", and it doesn't say why Solomon was so desperate for it in the first place, only telling us that there was something he wanted enough to risk death for it.

But it does answer WHY later.

At first I thought we didn't have more info on their first meeting, but then I remembered this little moment from Obey Me! NB ( that I added to my post afterward and here's the screenshot from the post because I was too lazy to open the game and go to the lesson again ):

So Solomon almost died summoning Barbatos because he desperately needed his powers to control time after causing serious destruction to the Human World with his...?

Well, maybe, the passage does say that Barbatos appeared before him and not that he was purposely summoned by him, but it could be that the book is just depicting what people at the time thought happened, since it makes it sound like that was their first meeting when Barbatos himself said that Solomon summoning him was how they first met.

Anyway, let's assume I'm right and that's what happened and the reason why Solomon needed Barbatos was to fix the damage he did to the Human World unintentionally.

THE MAIN THEORY: Solomon summoned Barbatos to save his childhood friend's life, who was affected by Solomon's powers going out of control.

This is something that Solomon tells us in Obey Me! NB lesson 14-16, that he had a friend while he was locked up in the basement as a kid. He tells us the story of how they met and says that from then on the friend started visiting him regularly and that they would chat through the bars of the window basement and that's how their interactions went for however long. But then while telling us about them he suddenly stops:

And thus this became my current theory.

Solomon's powers, which have always vastly surpassed your usual human's, start getting out of control and becomes a threat to the world, endangering one of his loved ones ( much like MC's in S2 with Lucifer ). And desperate to save their life and out of what to do, he summons a demon he knows can control time to help him.

Judging by how Solomon struggles to tell the story to MC though, we can assume that it didn't end well.

Maybe Barbatos refused to save his friend/had no way to do it ( he can only travel through timelines and not actually go back and change the one where he is ) and Solomon had to accept the fact that they were dying and say goodbye and this was the moment when he made this promise to them to become a good sorcerer, learn how to control his powers and protect humanity.

Or maybe Barbatos did try to save them/told Solomon how to do it but it ended badly somehow and that's what brings Solomon pain when he tries to talk about it.

Spoilers for Lesson 16 of Nightbringer

The devs are really upping the tragedy of Solomon’s character. He has never, ever, once in his life genuinely felt like he’s ever belonged. His heart has been filled with loneliness his entire life.

Ya know I’ve always assumed he had a normal upbringing but with the knowledge he’s always felt and been lonely I just—want to protect him.

|| NB lesson 33 spoilers ||

Um… I’m starting to get flashbacks… 😨…

[asmo-appreciator]

Any time they make it seem like something sexy is gonna happen the game's like "oh but don't worry nothing sexy's gonna happen to MC it's fine"

Don't worry Asmo's mind control thing doesn't work on MC.

Don't worry the body swap thing doesn't affect humans.

Don't worry you won't have to deal with vampires in the vampire event Solomon put you in a big magic condom.

The hottest thing that happened in the game is when Belphie snaps MC's neck. This is a fact.

[nocreativityfornames]

MC: You know, it actually takes a lot longer than people think for someone to die from strangling.

Solomon: Oh? Well, that's...interesting. Did you read that on a book or something?

MC: Nah, it's from personal experience. 🙂

Solomon: ...

I’M SORRY????

Trigger Warning for blood and Lesson 16 spoilers:

[ryminsteddiesashanne]

Belphie doesn't start to like MC because he found out they're related to Lilith

He starts to like them because he fins out that Lilith got to live happily as a human and he can stop blaming himself and humans for her death
