Who did it better? #3

Hullo hullo~ I hope everyone’s safe and doing well! Today I would like to introduce you to probably the hottest version of Lucifer from Obey Me (yes I am a simp and you’ll be too soon) and compare it to our Luci from Makai Ouji. Even though we did not get to see and learn much more about Mo!Lucifer until the last moments and only in manga we’ve seen his face I still hope you find this post interesting~

About Obey me Lucifer •

Let’s start this off by introducing otome Luci!

According to wiki Lucifer is the Avatar of Pride and is the oldest among the seven demon brothers. He is one of the main characters in Obey Me! One Master to Rule Them All that is also involved in the intimacy system of the game, therefore, s can interact and raise their relationship with him.

Lucifer is the second tallest of the seven brothers, almost reaching Beelzebub’s height. He has black hair with white tinted tips that’s parted on the right side of his face, and black eyes with an outwards red gradient. Like all of the demon brothers, he wears nail polish that comes in the color of red.

The eldest of the brothers and hence is the leader of the household, Lucifer presents himself as a calm, composed, and intimidating person. His brothers frequently comment on how scary Lucifer can be. He is a very strict and unforgiving demon and does not hesitate when doling out punishments to his younger brothers. His sadism is evident in his punishments. However, despite being so uptight, he still makes the effort to joke around with his brothers, especially when it comes to teasing Mammon - who the other brothers say he has a soft spot for. As the Avatar of Pride, he displays a tremendous sense of pride. Several examples include that when he was trapped inside Satan’s body, he refused to let his brother give the speech in his body for he worried that Satan would ruin his reputation, and was displeased at the fact that he needed Satan (in Lucifer’s body) in order to travel into the human world since he couldn’t through the seal. One example was he kept Lilith’s reincarnation a secret from his brothers for he felt that he alone should bear the responsibility. Another was when he cursed the attic, he was confident that MC wouldn’t be able to see Belphegor. Lucifer has sworn utmost loyalty to Diavolo, the future king of the Devildom and his closest friend, going thousands of years back. The demon brothers, especially Satan, often point out that Lucifer cares for nothing but Diavolo, and maintaining Diavolo’s good image and reputation. Being the oldest, Lucifer is also the strongest of the demon brothers. This was proven during the pillow fight in the Demon Castle, when, after losing his cool, bore a hole through one of the beds in throwing a pillow. In Lesson 9, when Satan and Lucifer switch bodies, Lucifer (in Satan’s body) hits Mammon. However, Mammon laughs and comments that because of Lucifer being in Satan’s body his strength has been cut to that of Satan’s. Satan also implies that the brothers were put in order from oldest to youngest by strength and power rather than biological age, the oldest being the most powerful. Lucifer also tends to be subtly overprotective of his brothers, proving in his own way that he cares for them. In Lesson 10, he sees that Satan is in danger of being attacked by game-Cerberus, and immediately threatened Cerberus, saying that he will do unspecified things should a finger be laid on Satan. However, his overprotective nature is often perceived as more suffocating and controlling, rather than comforting. Mammon frequently complains about this attitude of Lucifer’s to MC and to the others. Despite it all, Lucifer only wants the best for his brothers. As an angel, he used to speak quite rough if not rude, but was very direct with his feelings.

In his demon form, Lucifer reveals two large horns curling up and out from the sides of his head and four black, fallen angels’ wings. A black diamond birthmark appears on his forehead. He wears a high-collared, tailed coat with red and gold peacock feather patterning. Inside, he wears a black waistcoat with red highlights. He has a pendant decorated with black and red peacock feathers tucked into the collar of his waistcoat. He wears simple black pants and leather shoes, with two stray silver chains hanging from an ornament on his belt. Contrary to his usual black gloves, he wears red gloves in his demon form.

Ok beware I am moving now to trivia section but there may be some spoilers so just to be on safe side I’d recommend playing the game first but if you don’t mind them here it is:

Trivia

His symbolic animal is a peacock, which symbolizes pride, beauty, and confidence.

His dance battle stage has a bat. Bats are commonly associated with devils and darkness in Biblical tradition.

His name on Devilgram is “Lucifer.” He is the only character who has his real name and not a nickname or pun.

In the Christmas Event 2019, he gifted MC a rose from a completely new genus which he crossbred himself, using magic so that the rose won’t wilt for a year.

In Chapter 20, if MC spends the last night in the Devildom with him, Lucifer teases by saying that they belongs to him (and it’s heavily implied something steamy happened there :smirk: ).

In the TSL fandom, the Lord of Corruption is based on him.

He’s stated that his type is someone “pure, genuine, and worthy of respect”, though he jokingly described a soul instead of a person.

According to Little D. No. 2, he’s skilled at lifting curses. He’s also talented in casting complex spells such as when he locked Belphegor in the attic and made it invisible to anyone but demons, and cast a spell on the stairwell to the attic that prevented demons from entering.

Lucifer also has a strong immunity to potions compared to his other brothers, but the gold hellfire newt syrup had such a strong effect on him that it was hard to control his desire for MC.

Lucifer loves classical music, especially cursed ones, and often listens to them on records; in fact, that is his vice for MC was able to use that to distract Lucifer so that they can enter the attic.

The painting in his room was Simon Bisley’s depiction of Lucifer falling from heaven. The painting changed to abstract in May 2020 because it’s copyrighted.

As an angel, he once had six wings - this is mentioned by Satan in The Search for Self/Devilgram and also by Luke in the main story. He lost a pair of wings in the Great Celestial War (so he has only four now and it’s implied that he’s very insecure about his appearance because of this)

From Satan’s Be You Devilgram, Lucifer reveals that his greatest fear is dying and ascending to the Celestial Realm.

In his Seven Rulers of Hell Devilgram it’s revealed that he’s very ionate about theatre and after a good play can’t stop rambling and quoting his favourite parts even if his conversation partner doesn’t share the excitement.

Phew that’s quite a lot huh. Luci is really one hell of complex interesting and overall lovable character (once you get past off his seven layers of pride) which is why he’s my favourite out of all of them! Now let’s move on to MO!Lucifer and his bio.

About Makai Ouji Lucifer •

Lucifer was the Emperor of Hell and a Fallen Angel. Before his defeat by Michael, his twin brother, he was Chief of the Seraphim and the Closest to God. At first, it was unknown how Lucifer looked like since the most of his body was always covered in his wings’ feathers. He has six wings and seems to wear shoes with rather high heels. Lucifer’s appearance is revealed in the latest chapters of the manga; a appealing young man with long black/green (possibly) hair and big eyes (it sucks that author did not specify this!!!). He resembles a lot his son, Camio.

Lucifer appears to be quite a confident individual, and perhaps a little lonely or wistful (as he remarks that neither then nor now, Solomon didn’t stay by his side). He has instances where he’s quite blunt, appearing very arrogant, and doesn’t soften his words. He’s so far been portrayed as being rather sly and uncaring. At some point in time, Lucifer seems to have rebelled against God and fought his brother Michael. He lost the battle and was cast to Hell by his brother. However, Dantalion remarks that Michael is a “traitor that decieved Lucifer”.

Spoiler alert!

He met Solomon and made a contract (or treaty) with him, allowing the latter to elect a substitute ruler of Hell in his stead. This is one of the most apparent differences between two Lucifers since OB one did not make any contract with Solomon (much to Solomon’s disappointment lol). The nature of this contract/treaty (and subsequently, all other contracts Solomon made with other demons) is that is ed down to the closest living descendant of Solomon (or, in the case of William, to the reincarnation of Solomon himself, when they appear).

Trivia/history - SPOILERS AGAIN

Camio is the son Lucifer had with a human woman. There are contradictions about whether Lucifer knew he had a child or not. Baalberith says that it’s impossible to leave a child as a father, and if Lucifer knew about Camio, the latter would be the Emperor without question. However, when Lucifer and Camio met face to face (which seems to be their first ever meeting), the former wasn’t the least bit surprised to see him. He even knew about Camio’s desire to destroy him. Lucifer seems indifferent about Camio as his child, and was quite harsh with him. Camio wants to “rip him (Lucifer) to shreds with his own hands” for abandoning his mother (good thing that it did not happen). Dantalion is the only human Lucifer ever made a contract with, and brought to Hell by force instead of finishing him off in the battle. He’s also the only member of Lucifer’s Household. The two haven’t been shown interacting, but Lucifer did wake when Dantalion suffered great damage at Solomon’s (who didn’t him) hands and saved him. Latter chapters reveal that Household share a bond, and power. Camio believes that Lucifer wanted Dantalion to inherit his will.

Alrighty as you can see there’s a huge gap between these two apparently similar characters and I gotta say that MO Lucifer really could have been laid out better because we have only ever seen his indifferent apathic side (but I guess that happens when you sleep for half of your eternal lifetime lmao). This is all today as always do not forget to like and maybe I’ll make another character comparisons~ See ya~~~
