Here I am, back in this thread just to announce that I've replayed all 4 chapters again and managed to get all of the Shadow Crystals so far, it was a wonderful experience all over again. I love this game even though it has their flaws., you bet I'll be waiting for the next year to play Chapter 5. In the meantime, I will be shitposting with you guys.
Anyhoo, I've seen that a lot of you were talking about crazy theories a couple of pages ago, so, after replaying the whole game again, I have something that might be canonical in the future because there are certain things connecting it.
Since Ralsei is a Darkner, and Darkners are only objects that you can clearly see as that in the Light World, there is the theory that he might be the headband that Kris used to wear as a kid to appear more as a monster because of his adoptive parents. It does compute, considering that it is mentioned that he used to wear a read Devil headband to look like his parents.
And guess who has the same type of horns?
Not to mention, he is the one that always appears in the Dark Worlds that Kris and Susie explore, and we never have an explanation on why he appears just like that. Maybe the reason on why that happens is that Kris may still use that headband and brings it to him everywhere he goes, and he doesn't show it because of unknown reasons. That would be the reason on why he appears everywhere in the Dark World without the need of Kris or Susie calling him for help.
