He seems to be taking glee in the idea of pummeling them, which goes to show that when he wants to, he can bring out his Number 2 card. In the Let Your Hair Down Devilgram story, we see him transform into his demon form after the three eldest brothers return home to hear their younger brothers shit talking them. That’s not to say he’s never willing to unleash his power, though. Instead, he’s the one who can somewhat keep his cool and even sometimes steps in to try to get others to calm down – even if that other person is Lucifer. This makes him one of the only two brothers never to have unleashed his demon form out of rage against MC. ![]() He is one of the only brothers who can seemingly control his temper – he yells and shouts a lot, but he won’t go into a fit of demon-form rage often. This power is partially demonstrated not in what he does, but what he doesn’t do. But he calls himself the Great Mammon, and he surely isn’t the only one to say it (though obviously the brothers do not call him this because, well, as the Seven Demon Lords, they would also be “The Great XYZ”). We just don’t see much of this because, while he talks big, it’s not actually in his personality to lord over others with his power. ![]() As we said at the top, that means he is the second-most powerfulof the brothers. The brothers are ranked by power, not age, especially since age is meaningless at this point as they’re all thousands of years old. He steals, he gambles, he buys things he can’t afford, he’s impulsive and finds himself in hot water all the time with the consequences he didn’t think through.Īnd then he gets punished, and made fun of, and bullied by his brothers.īut just as he’s not actually incompetent, Mammon’s perpetual punishments can make him seem more defenseless than he really is. So what does he do? He goes back to being the troublemaker he’s always been. That can be its whole own other essay and it will be but what this means for Mammon is, he’s both no longer occupied with responsibilities to help Lucifer, and also is getting a lot less of Lucifer’s attention than before. However, after they fell, Lucifer withdrew into himself a lot, shouldering more and more of the burden of responsibility onto himself instead of having Mammon and the others help him. And in that time, he was hardworking because of wanting to help his older brother. Even as an angel, he was too much for Michael to handle, and Lucifer was the only one who could get him under control.Īfter that, he revered Lucifer with the utmost respect and admiration, really being an “adorable baby brother” to him. Mammon is always in trouble because he is a troublemaker, and to some extent, he always has been. And much as Lucifer is Diavolo’s right-hand man now, Mammon used to be the same to Lucifer back in the Celestial Realm, working as his most trusted assistant. In the Lord of Fools Devilgram story, he laments that he wants to prove that he’s got what it takes to be a leader since he almost never gets any responsible tasks to take care of. He holds a steady part-time job as a model, and he’s quite a successful one, in fact, making him actually some degree of self-sufficient if he wasn’t always blowing his money so fast. This is also not to say Mammon is incapable of working responsibly, either. This is why Mammon’s greed often turns him towards gambling and get-rich-quick schemes, which then bite him in the ass. lists his dislike as “work” – meaning that, in the end, he just doesn’t want to bother putting in the effort if he thinks there’s an easier way to get what he wants. And other characters make similar remarks from time to time as well.Įven more to the point, his student I.D. There have also been times that MC is outright given the option of commenting on how he’s actually quite competent if he puts his mind to it, such as in the Part-Time Jobs event. For Mammon, it’s often more about not applying himself, or occasionally even a calculated decision to fail. ![]() And sure, he certainly does get himself into trouble a lot! But this shouldn’t be taken to mean that he’s incapable of being responsible, or that he’s dumb. Due to his seemingly constant streak of getting into trouble, it’s easy to think that Mammon is just not good at things, or that he’s just prone to fucking up. ![]() So, let’s dive into it, shall we?įirst, the “incompetent” part. He isn’t some incompetent baby who needs to be protected from his brothers’ bullying - there’s a lot more to him than that. Well, sure he is! But Mammon is also, after all, the second-most powerful demon brother, and his Greed is a deadly sin for a reason. Even Lucifer thinks he’s adorable! And isn’t he? A little bit crybaby, a little bit reckless fool, a little bit shy. The Avatar of Greed, “ greedy for all the money in the world”, who is somehow always getting himself into trouble with his get-rich-quick schemes.
