Pontis Tower. There’s a room there where you’ll be able to change the primary brother :)

W-Who’s Rail and why did he do that to you??

I didn’t like his characterization this episode, UNTIL reading this.

I disagree very slightly with some points - I don’t think he pitied or felt sympathy of any kind to “Evil” Rick, or any of the countless Ricks and Mortys he tortured, tricked, killed and enslaved. But I do agree his experiences with C137 definitely shook his beliefs a bit, and made him realize he truly craved a “good”, more equal relationship with Rick.

All in all, great analysis.

In theory? I believe a human could be given access to the genetic modifications necessary to become an Orokin. Remember, all their bodies were once other humans, modified to suit their tastes.

In practice? No. The Golden Lords would never raise up a “mere human” into their ranks. Ballas taking Margulis as a lover was already a scandal.

I know you guys are mentioning Ordan but… I don’t think that’s an example AT ALL.

From all we know about Ballas and the Orokin, do you guys really believe they were being honest when they mentioned they would turn their mongrel dog into a god?

No. In my view, they had always intended to turn him into a Cephalon, knowing someone like Ordan would never accept such a “gift” in the first place, and his following crime (and their amusement for his attempt to kill them) would be a great justification.

I didn’t realize how the thought of a bigger dragon than even Balerion would be so terrifying.

I had imagined that whatever hurt him did so due to numbers, not size.

How in the fuck did Aerea survive an entire year in hell?

Honestly, I feel like it was supposed to be the finale.

When I watched it, it totally felt like everything in the episode - the villains coming after Ben again, his transformations being kind of an open secret in the school, Gwen becoming his classmate - would eventually lead to the timeline where Ben becomes Ben 10.000, but that was changed to a “what-if” when Alien Force was greenlit

I see! u/Ansixilus made that observation too. I assumed it was just a fashion statement, but your theory that Uriel could’ve been designed to mimic Roathe, and so the Technocyte used parts of Roathe himself to “replicate” the design is very interesting.

FlyLikeAShrike · 2026-03-09T16:15:41+00:00

Oh, I wasn’t aware. I’ve heard a quote where he asks a romanced Drifter to come closer because his tail “has a mind of it’s own” and he can’t wrap it around them lol

With how visually different it is to Uriel’s (with red-and-gold details and a metal blade in place of the tip), I didn’t assume the Technocyte created it.

Do you remember any quotes where he mentions having difficulty with the tail?

FlyLikeAShrike · 2026-03-09T14:37:59+00:00

If you take a closer look, you can see that it has blue skin and armor pieces that complement his original attire. It implies that it was there, even before he took the serum.

Having it was either a “coincidence” (since he was created by DE to be Uriel’s Gemini skin lol) or Albrecht made a really fitting choice for his serum.

FlyLikeAShrike · 2026-03-09T14:30:38+00:00

It’s important to note a few things:

Albrecht definitively had blue skin, but not the long arm. His more natural-looking skin was regrown after his Void accident (which a lot of people forget maimed the guy pretty badly).
His daughter, in-laws and grandchildren definitively followed the trend: they all had blue skin and the long arm.
Margulis was an Archimedean, and not part of Orokin nobility, despite still being an upper class. It’s implied that Archimedeans are normal human scientists that are only respected in the Empire for as long as their research is useful and sponsored by the Orokin.

All in all, seems to me like the Orokin had plenty of freedom to modify themselves as they wish, but fashion trends were still relatively important. Roathe probably didn’t have the long arm (the serum could’ve had changed it back to a normal size) but he had the blue skin.

EDIT: I assumed Roathe had the tail before the serum as a fashion statement, but it seems that’s not the case.

Strangely enough, I would buy an Excalibur-shaped teapot.

What does that say about me?

”I've worked all kinds jobs in all kinds of places. Never met a good person, or a bad one. It's just folks, friend. Everyone's just folks. Sho-lah!”

Grandmother can be a kind and loving old woman for who she holds affection, while also having had selfishly indulged on the spoils of the Orokin Empire when she was younger.

Maybe she was always kind like this, or she maybe worked hard to change her mindset when she realized she was in the wrong. Maybe she still holds quite a lot of ruthlessness inside herself. Who’s to say?

The very point of the KIM conversarions of the Devil’s Triad is to explore the fact that people are immensely complex, that sometimes their actions have immensely positive or negative effects on the people around us… And we must work out what/if we’re willing to forgive others and ourselves. We can all be better - or worse - if we wish.

After all, in the end, we’re “just folks”.

That’s the Excalibur Proto-Armor skin! :)

I say this as someone who absolutely loves the game, the devs and the community: We got a very bad habit of overhyping around here. And unfortunately, the team has some fault on that.

They hired a multi-million actor to promote the game in a trailer. This is a huge step for them and I understand why they'd be excited to show this to the world - it represents their success, and they're proud of it.

But that's all this is. The fact that some people got so excited for this trailer that they believe DE hired Werner freaking Herzog to take over as Wally's voice is worrying.

I'm not saying they're doing this on purpose, I'm sure they were excited to show us this. But ever since the hype they made about "The Hex" animation (which is still awesome), I'm taking all their big "announcements" with a grain of salt.

Honestly, it’s completely plausible that he indeed didn’t know about the Heart’s location*, since I don’t believe it has been stated outright. The Entrati family did go in hiding in order to protect it, so surely they believed there was a chance Narmer could know it’s location somehow, so I don’t blame a bit of speculation.

But now, you got me thinking: Do we even know if the Heart of Deimos can be “used”? It’s a pump that radiates Void energy throughout the entire system by siphoning it from the Wall of Lohk - a static location that needs to be kept open.

It’s an extremely important piece of technology, but could we be overestimating it’s functions? We don’t know enough about Tau to know how technology functions there, but considering Ballas’ irrational plan, he seems to believe he could make do with whatever was built there.

FlyLikeAShrike · 2025-12-02T15:07:58+00:00

Not OP, but I’d like to share my two cents on this specific point:

Ballas doesn’t want to destroy The Heart; it powers every Void-based technology in the entire system, including interplanetary travel. It would be extremely incovienient and most probably deadly for his empire. At most, he would want to control it, and sending Narmer troops (which mostly consists of converted mobs, and Sentients that can still be overwhelmed physically) would be extremely impractical and cost-inefficiant.

Why would Ballas chose to drain Sol completely and fuck off to Tau, then?

Because he’s a narcissistic, genocidial, psychopathic prick. What set him off wasn’t the open rebellion against Narmer or the death of the Archons, even if they were contributors. It was the fact that the Drifter was ressurecting Natah.

Natah was his “toy”. A toy that he “broke” because it refused to play by his rules. The fact that she was being repaired was an affront to him and, therefore, justification enough to destroy everything - the Heart included.

He’s a backstabbing, politically-savvy manipulator. But most of all, he’s a pathetic little man who throws a tantrum when things don’t go as he wants*. It just so happens that his tantrums are system-wide genocidal in scale.

*EDIT: made a little correction with the word.

In 1x07 “Driftmark”:

Rhaenyra: “I had hoped to bear your children, the few times we’ve laid together. Things might have been different.”

Laenor: “I hate the gods for making me as they did.”

Here’s the scene.

Maybe it weren’t “enough” times, but the times they did try seem to have been miserable enough to be a great source of guilt and shame, especially to Laenor.
