Summary:
He's not Yoko's baby. He's not his mom and dad's son. He's his own creation. The Devil.
Yusho was his dad, but in reality, he wasn't.
Yoko was his mom, but in reality, she wasn't.
He was their son, but in reality, he wasn't.
They were family…but were they?
In reality, he was nobody's son. Like Yuto and Yugo and Yuri, he was a tool of Zarc's. A spontaneous reaction to the cards Akaba Leo made. A chip off the old Zarc!
Was Sakaki Yuya even a person?
Were Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri "people" themselves?
How are you an individual when you're a fragment of someone/something – something/someone – bigger?
How'reyou?
Haōryū?
Mieru stated he had his own soul, separate from Zarc's. And he denied he was a devil with every particle of his being.
Yet through all those refutations, he still questioned. That was the heart of his conflict.
Was it his being?
Was it his heart?
Could Tosan still be Tosan, and Kaasan still be Kaasan?
Did they want to be?
Did he want them to be?
The son who wasn't truly theirs? Who they were suddenly with, and forgot was an imposter in the crib? Adopted? Taken home, like the pets?
One-fourth Zarc with Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri.
Them.
Four.
Self.
Selves.
One true self.
They were Zarc.
The split may not have originated through Zarc's actions, but he found a way to recreate himself.
In this way, Zarc created himself.
He – Yuya, Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri – was his own creation.
What if you discovered you weren't you? That you were never you? That your existence was a lie? That it was a literal fabrication?
You'd rage too in the Restraining Sword of Impact.
You'd rage, and they'd be afraid of you.
You'd be afraid of you yourself.
