With proper evidence and analysis, I have a theoryβ¦.. and I spent time fact-checking this analysis (since I originally I figured this out a couple of months back). My findings tell me that Lichtβs Nintendo DS is a Nintendo DSi.
For reference, here is what Lichtβs DS looks like:
In order to narrow down our answers, first we have to figure out: which ones were already released during the events of Servamp?
From what I can best guess, the events of the C3 arc and everything up until chapter 118 takes place in August of 2012? From what I know, Servamp (or at least the Japanese release of it) was originally released in November of 2011, and the main storyβs technology seemed to line up with the technology present in real life at the time. For the most part, itβs easy to find details that point out the date or present spot on the calendar while reading butβ¦. with years, not so much. Also, I canβt find very much on how much of a time skip there was before or after volume 4. However, I do know that on August 31st, 2012, there actually was a full moon, just like what is supposed to happen in the manga (mentioned in chapter 100 I believe, where Tsurugi was discussing with Mahiru some information he learned from Touma). Going with this information, I will be using the estimate for the current events of the manga, which will help us narrow down what generations of Nintendo DS were released before late August 2012.
Here are the ones that I could find that fit in the time frame:
Nintendo DS (November 2004)
Nintendo DS Lite (June 2006)
Nintendo DSi (November 2008)
Nintendo DSi XL (November 2009)
Nintendo 3DS (March 2011)
Nintendo 3DS XL (July 2012)
Now what I did next with this was analyze the shape of each of these DS models and eliminate any of them without the rectangular shape of Lichtβs DS. Due to their far rounder edges and overall thicknesses, I eliminated the Nintendo DS and the Nintendo 3DS XL as a possibility. Now, that leaves us with the Nintendo DSLite, Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DSi XL, and the Nintendo 3DS.
Here is where I thought I reached a crossroad. I thought to myself, βWhat else is there? What else can I use to differentiate them?β
And then, in a moment of astute observance, I had a realization. I could investigate the volume control.
Right off the bat, I knew I could eliminate the Nintendo DSLite. That is due to the fact that the volume control on Lichtβs DS is a set of two buttons, placed on the left side of the DS. On the Nintendo DSLite, however, the volume control is a slider on the bottom of the device. Also, I was able to eliminate the Nintendo 3DS, because although its volume control is on the side of the device, it comes in the form of a slider.
Now, Iβm left with the Nintendo DSi and the Nintendo DSi XL. From what I found, the main difference between the two is the size of the screen. Considering that I found that Lichtβs DS is drawn with a notably smaller screen, I donβt think that is could have been the XL version.
And nowβ¦. that means weβve finally reached the last possible option. The only DS that could have fit the requirements by the date and the DS featuresβ¦. is the DSi model. Therefore, I believe that Licht Jekylland Todorokiβs Nintendo DS model is the Nintendo DSi.
Do with this what you will and thank you for reading through my absolutely bonkers analysis/theory/headcanon/ramble
Throwback to the time I started reading Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and then I read this
and honestly thatβs almost exactly how I first described Hyde in volume 5 of Servamp as much as I hate to say it
A couple of months ago, I figured out that Licht's Nintendo DS is actually a Nintendo DSi and I would be more than happy to go into further details about this
Actually now because of this I am also now figuring out what kind of Nintendo DS that Kuro has as well because I know that he has one
I think I know where Iβve seen this before
Oddly enough yeah this right here is what I thought of
I have a really strange hunch that Sakuya would main Inkling and Isabelle and Tsubaki would main Meta Knight in Super Smash Brothers and both of them would do this just because they know it would get everybody else in the room upset
Servamp has an entire catalogue of things I would want in a manga, including but not limited to
Gay people
Vampires
Gay vampires
Women that can kick ass
Vampire women that can kick ass
Malewives
Possibly neurodivergent folks
Trans icons
Short kings
Dilfs
The fucking mafia
Copyright-addressed franchise names
A surprising amount of Roombas
Just the right amount of emotional damage
Being too lazy to put curling cream in my hair last night made me relearn my lesson that if I donβt do it then I wake up the next morning with Sakuyaβs hairstyle, which is unable to be undone until the next time I drench my hair. I also hate having wet hair, so Iβd just rather go out in public built like Sakuya than with wet hair
You guys remember these scenes right?
Scene 1: Mahiru's first meeting with Tsubaki
Scene 2: Mahiru training with Mikuni, Jeje, Tetsu, Hugh, Kuro and Lily
Ever since I watched Jujutsu Kaisen I've been thinking to myself that Tsubaki and Lily can basically both do their own innate domains and for some reason I find that incredibly funny
Recently Iβve been talking about Servamp a lot to a couple of trusted friends and itβs made me realize something: Explaining Servamp to someone whoβs never heard of it or doesnβt know very much about itβ¦ is actually SURPRISINGLY DIFFICULT?? /lh
First of all the first thing Iβm always asked to explain is how to spell it and what the name means and Iβm out here internally thinking to myself βhow am I gonna get myself out of this one boysβ because I have to explain that Servamp literally is just βservantβ and βvampireβ combined and I think from an outside perspective thatβs probably a VERY bad first impression becauseβ¦ you knowβ¦
Another thing is also explaining the plot without spoilers because basically I sound like Iβm saying βOkay so the protagonist gets in a fight with a vampire and he ends up having to make a contract with the vampire that he picked up himself on the streetβ, and from chapter 1 up to 118 everythingβs got darker and WAY more intense. Thereβs also the vast plot and dramaturgical differences between the anime and the manga so unless theyβre looking for spoilers I have to ever so subtly explain how we got from what I wondered was gonna be an action comedy to receiving extreme emotional damage every chapter as well as emphasize the value of watching both the anime and the manga as they sometimes feel like two completely projects but charming in their own ways
Thereβs also one more warning that I always have to give out about a certain someoneβ¦. do you know who the warningβs about?
Yeah Iβm talking about Lily
I MEANβ¦ DO I GIVE THE WARNING AND CONCERN MY LISTENER RIGHT AWAY?? OR POTENTIALLY SCAR THEM WHEN THEYβRE READING OR WATCHING SERVAMP FOR THE FIRST TIME?? Itβs either I explain βyouβre gonna see a half naked man on screen in volume 1/episode 2 doing what seems to be flirting but isnβt actually flirtingβ or I let them come to me being like βWHY IS THERE A HALF NAKED MAN ON SCREEN FLIRTINGβ
Servamp is my favorite manga actually so I love it with all my heart (I even have a WIP 200 slide google slides presentation on it if anybody wants to see it when I finish it). Servamp out of context though is very interesting per se because Iβm sure that Iβm not the only person here whoβs noticed these things and if anything theyβre actually HILARIOUS TO THINK ABOUT
In summary I love Servamp and itβs even better when you get to be the one explaining it
I have no idea if anybody else has posted about this but you guys remember Howl from Howlβs Moving Castle right? Okay so Iβve been thinking about this for a while and I keep thinking to myself about how similar Lily and Howl are
HEAR ME OUT HOLD ON IβVE GOT A COUPLE POINTS TO MAKE
Okay okay okay so first of all we gotta fucking talk about their appearance and I think itβs even more prominent in all of the Lily art after Strikeβs art style notably changed. Like look at this shit??
Lily is strawberry blonde I think but yβknow heβs technically a redhead and a blonde at the same time and Howl has been BOTH OF THOSE THINGS
I also firmly believe Lily would and should wear some of Howlβs clothes or adopt some of his fashion because THEY FIT HIM SO WELL I THINK (I even have an old drawing that I did about that that I might post eventually just to prove my point). But even then they already have similar fashion because they both like to wear pink and earrings and a necklace of sorts (I still consider the pocket watch as Lilyβs necklace because of how he wears it)
There are so many things about them too that I honestly find to be REALLY FUCKING FUNNY
Remember the time that Howl had a temper tantrum and turned into slime because he got turned into a redhead and (according to him) not being at his top tier sexiness? I watched that scene I was like βWhy do I feel like like Lily would do something like thatβ until I realized THAT HE TECHNICALLY DID IN I THINK VOLUME 2 WHEN HE WAS FIGHTING BERUKIA
I am still absolutely cackling over the fact that Berukia cut off a tiny bit of Lilyβs hair, and as a result, Lily got so pissy that he was politely like βOh you crossed the fucking lineβ and after beating the shit out of Belkia with his scythe and being like βthatβs what you get for cutting my hairβ, he ended up cutting off Berukiaβs entire goddamn ponytail off-screen (I think he was the one that did that but correct me if Iβm wrong)
Also if I'm correct the servamps can fly I think because how the fuck would Lily have gotten onto the top of that lamp post in volume 3 to do his gay little glitter gaslight gatekeep girlboss magic (let alone without falling) which meansβ¦ technically Lily can do Howlβs sky walk if he got enough practice with it
The main summary of this post is that if I had a nickel for every time Iβve seen a blonde magical man with shoulder-length hair who likes pink and wears earrings and a necklace throw an extreme tantrum over his hair Iβd have two nickels
