Sigma and Pi are both girls. It's just mistranslation.

Yes, it was revealed that Freya is the mastermind behind all the loops.

​

A lot of you hate her already because she is responsible for Alpha's suffering.

​

But it turns out that Freya is also the one responsible for summon Cid back into the past (Chapter 1, Episode 1) because he is the only one that can help them beat Diablos without having casualties.

​

Freya did this because she probably suffered from survivor guilt as someone pointed out and tried to find a way to fix it by summon Shadow back to the past.

​

But the question is, how did Freya know that someone who can beat Diabolos or Shadow to be specific exists in the future? Note that the time reverse watch can only go back into the past, not the future, unless you already exist at that specific point in time in the future, you can not travel into that time. So, how did Freya know? Did Shadow travel to the past before that, too?

​

The timeline would be like this:

​

Past; the heroes sealed Diablos, but most of them died, Freya used time watch to call Shadow back --> Present; Shadow found the watch and go back to the past --> Fixed timeline; Everyone survived and Diablos is defeated.

​

But still, how did Freya know Shadow existed? How much does she know about him?

Note that Alpha, before Demonization she was able to fight Demon Delta to a stand still who was able to slaughter the seven shadows and the three heroes effortlessly.

​

My ranking in power would be:

​

1. Demon Alpha

​

2. Demon Olivier

​

3. Demon Delta/Zeta

​

4. Demon Beta/Epsilon/Victoria/Claire

​

5. Demon Alexia/Rose/Gamma/Yukime/Eta

​

6. Demon Lili

It is Freya(Alexia's ancestor).

​

She used Alexia to kill off Alpha before she revealed the truth.

​

For those who thought the mastermind is Cid is probably confused or forgotten, remember that the time reverse watch also exists in the past means that someone beside Cid can also reverse time.

​

Cid was unaffected by the time reversal because he also had the watch. When some of the Seven Shadows died, he was the one that reversed time for them while other time was probably done by Freya.

Adorable as fuck tho.
