Talk:Enryu's Thorn/@comment-79.106.109.155-20150517164244/@comment-5693502-20150524231431

I don't think they're plot devices but rather just different aspects of the same entity; from what's been implied I think that the fake Thorn, the red lobster exoskeleton thing and the demon/devil are the same entity.

I think the situation with the Thorn is similar to the Ichigo-Zangetsu situation in Bleach (you'll understand if you've read Bleach): the real Thorn is the true source of power and the fake Thorn/devil/demon is a sentient entity (which possesses its own level of power) that limits the amount of power that Baam can access.
