Vigilance's soul is stolen, but he regains a body almost identical to his original, as well as the ability to reap souls. What's with Death Is Cheap in this game?It's really inconsistent when it comes to gods. In short, he just believes he is useless, and being a pessimist about his own abilities makes him underplay them himself, and the rest of the crowd don't see his true potential.Weak protests aside, Odie appears to honestly believe he's basically hopeless, and let's face it: Revya's team isn't exactly made up of the most understanding people around. By the time his talent really started to blossom, it was too late: he had already made too many mistakes, was already considered the Black Sheep of the line, and had already spent years being told what a failure and screw-up he was. He just needed time and patience, and unfortunately, that was likely in short supply when he was growing up. In his ending, he's explictedly called a 'late bloomer'. There was probably an insane amount of pressure placed on him from day one to live up to the Dio name, and Odie doesn't deal well with stress. Because he wasn't up to his family's standards.Why do people go on about how weak Odie is when he really kicks ass?Stat wise, hes an above average member of the best mage class, yet people constantly go on about how weak he is. Maybe it's a condition that was lifted simultaneously with telling the name, like consent (not necessarily consent). At the point, Odie doesn't seem to have any experience with dominion. In the scene where Odie gets dominated, Odie is the one who suggests that it might be the name.Maybe it's because Dio is a title, not an actual name.Odie, on the other hand, was impersonating Dio, and there was a real Dio to impersonate. It may also have something to do with the fact that neither of the latter two had a "real" counterpart out there with the same name Raksha ate the real Levin's soul (which, come to think of it, could have had something to do with how he could be dominated under that name) and the only other Gestahl is an impostor, and a highly reluctant one at that. Similarly, Gestahl may be an alias, but it's also the only name the man has answered to for centuries. Raksha played the role of Levin long enough that he may have actually considered it to be ( one of) his actual name(s). It might have something to do with whether or not the individual in question actually thinks of that name as being his.He had no memories of his past as Lord Median, so at that point he did truly believe his name was Gehstall.The same question goes for Gehstall/Median in the Demon Path.He tells Endorph to keep calling him Levin even after his true identity is revealed. 'Levin' submits to the fake name because he believes the shell's name is the one that matters, and thus adopts it as his own for as long as he inhabits the shell. He recognizes the name 'Endorph' as his own. It's the inverted case as Dio, whose real name isn't that but he adopts it as his own and Endorph, whose true name is Faded, his name as Chroma Oxide is Walnut, and his name in the Soul Nomad universe is Endorph. That is why he cannot consent with a fake name. Raksha, being the Manipulative Bastard he is, may have kept enough of Levin on hand to allow for domination in case he needed Gig's assistance, and finished consuming Levin when the trap had been sprung to sever any ties with Gig and keep his soul from being consumed. It may be possible that domination works based on the identity of the host and not any extra inhabitants. How is it Odie wasn't accepted for domination when he used a false name? Seeing as it worked for Raksha/Levin
