This might sound like shitpost to some, but I have full reason to believe that Chigiri Hyouma is meant to be the devil.

For starters, I want you to take a look at this panel from Episode: Nagi

While some have theorized it might be related to his knee, I prefer to take it a little more literally. As in: This card represents Chigiri's true, wicked nature.

He manipulates his peers to do his bidding using his mind control demon powers.

But you might say "What even makes you think that, are you dumb?" . And to that I reply: No! The evidence is clearly shown in the manga.

From the beginning, we could see his influence .

One of the first chapters, and the first Chigiri centric chapter. Isagi touches Chigiri and immediately becomes possessed by a demon, wich presumably stays inside him throughout the rest of the series, given his evil behavior in camp. And it all started because of an innocent touch.

But how bad can it get? Oh, it can get so much worse.

In this image, we can see that Chigiri, the devil, manipulated and mind controlled this innocent young man Otoya into falling in love with him. Why? So he could secure a spot in the U20 game. Everything Chigiri does is calculated. He's evil.

He also managed to "befriend" Kunigami, Barou, Nagi, Reo, and basically every other character he interacts with, despite how antissocial some of them may seem.

Even Kaiser acknowledged his supposed beauty. What a sick individual.

Speaking of Kunigami, he seemed to be the most affected for a while. Following and helping Chigiri everytime he was on screen. That is, until Wild Card.

During Wild Card, Kunigami went through an exorcism and priest Ego purged the demon from his body. Now he is able to fully understand just how powerful Chigiri's powers are, and is keeping his distance.

Chigiri, however, noticed how his evil mind control stopped working on what was once his strongest subject, and he slowly became enraged. Pestering and bothering Kunigami out of field, he tried hard to reawaken the control, wich didn't seem to work. At least not for now.

This all came to a head after Chigiri got benched in the France game. Unable to cope with his anger, Chigiri took out his wrath on the team, boosting Loki's powers and weakening Rin's.

And worst of all?

He did that through Kunigami. "Give them hell." Hell. He quite literally told us that he is related to the underworld. He used Kunigami as a vessel to transport evil into the field.

Priest Ego, of course, didn't notice, believing his exorcism had worked, and kept subbing players out, unknowingly playing right into chigiri's hands.

His next sub-in was of course, Otoya. Chigiri's second strongest link in Blue Lock. This was the moment it became clear japan would lose. They had all fallen victims to Chigiri's trap, and suffered the consequences of his rage.

Ego should not have subbed Chigiri out. That was their doom.

Honestly, I could make so many arguments to prove this theory, using numerology, demonology and symbolism, but I'm afraid Kaneshiro might try to silence me.

I'll just leave you with this: Hiiragi, the one who revealed Chigiri's true nature through his tarot readings, got eliminated soon after. Coincidence? Nothing is a coincidence. Its all going according to Chigiri's evil plans.
