Ohara Von Heinrich - Tumblr Posts
I got a bit carried away researching some stuff and this is a bit long, but I couldn’t help it. Enjoy! (Also please let me know if any images don’t show up)
•Peridot is often called “the gem of the sun” or “the gem of compassion” and those are definitely two of Shuri’s defining traits: she’s bright and warm and endlessly compassionate towards others, so she’s often associated with light/the sun.
Plus peridot is believed to help break bad habits and cycles, and that really speaks for itself doesn’t it? (Sidenote: I found like one article saying that peridot can also help give insight into relationships and help balance relationships, which I kind of thought worked with my idea that Jeremy giving Shuri the brooch was supposed to show how he did in fact want to treat Shuri like family but it’s not the strongest evidence so…)
•Blue roses aren’t naturally occurring in nature; you have to dye a white rose blue in order to get a blue rose. Because of this, blue roses are often used to mean an impossible or unrequited love. However, it can also symbolize uniting two lovers who have been separated. This works amazingly well for TL1 Nora, who could not ever tell Shuri of his love for her, and of his wish that burning the Empire to the ground might be able to bring Shuri back.
•Two of Richelieu‘s reflections look almost like wings at Theobald’s back; however, because of Richelieu’s robes and dark hair, those “wings” look more bat-like than feathered, which tends to be more associated with demons/the devil than angels. It shows that neither of them are truly the kind or saintly people they portray themselves as.
•Richelieu having specifically six reflections kind of stumped me admittedly. I couldn’t find a lot of mentions of the number six in the Bible, and sources were a bit contradictory on whether it was a good number or not. Some said that because God created the world and everything in it in six days, that meant it symbolizes being whole or complete, which could relate back to Theobald’s obsessive need for love. Other sources said that seven was actually the number meant to show being whole (which is why there are seven days in a week) while six was an incomplete number and why 666 is the mark of the devil. I don’t know, maybe I’m missing something.
•Purple roses symbolize royalty and pride, but are often given as congratulations on one’s achievements. My first thought was of Ludovika’s wish to become “the noblest lady in the Empire” by becoming Empress. Like, that was to be her crowning achievement (pun intended).
•Richelieu having one eye covered is interesting for a number of reasons. My first thought was the saying “an eye for an eye” meaning that whatever crime you commit, the punishment will be as equally severe. The full quote:
Which again relates back to Nora destroying the Empire for Shuri. But there is another quote from the Bible that could work here:
Two things to note about this quote: 1) This is speaking of controlling sexual desires specifically here, and it’s been made pretty clear that Richelieu desires Shuri, 2) that the original quote mentions plucking out the right eye specifically, and Richelieu has his left eye covered. Most explanations of this passage I read though agreed that this was said merely to get how serious this point was across, and that it didn’t matter which eye you were supposed to pluck out; the entire thing is just hyperbole. Though Augustine’s interpretation was interesting to me:
“…The right eye may be understood one who counsels us in heavenly matters, and by the left one who counsels in earthly matters.”
Richelieu believes that he was saved by God from drowning; afterwards, he dedicates himself to the church because he’s “seen the light.” He starts a Holy War because he believes himself to be chosen by God. He has his left “earthly” eye covered because he thinks himself above everyone, that only he knows the true grace of God. Though in an almost ironic twist, it’s often believed that the left eye is actually the one connected to the heavenly/spiritual plane. In trying to be a good servant of God, Richelieu ended up blinding himself to God and was left with his own desires and wants. (Could probably word that better but I’m tired. Hopefully you get my point. Also I’m not religious so I hope I don’t offend anyone; please let me know if I have or if I got something wrong)
•I agree that it looks like Jeremy on the cover with Ohera, though the gem looks a bit like how diamonds are usually portrayed. Diamonds are usually associated with engagement rings, and as such tend to symbolize love and commitment. Makes sense as Ohera and Jeremy are betrothed, even if they never got married in TL1. But Ohera’s mom also has some interesting dialogue in chapter 57:
She compares herself to a glittering gem, and even calls Ohera her gem. Maybe the original Korean is more specific about what kind of gem, I don’t know, but Ohera being associated with a gem that means love and commitment when she has such heavy trauma surrounding those very things is brilliant. Also herkimer diamonds are thought to help people let go of anger, pettiness, and childhood issues/trauma. Ohera lying to Shuri to get her away from the wedding is one big trauma response.
wanted to ask about asm physical volumes covers they have a lot of signs and Symbolism especially Richelieu's cover , any thoughts abt them ? i love your analysis + btw i noticed an Eagle flag behind leon in the Vol.5 cover , is that the streife flag ? and who do you think will be in the next cover ? personally i think it would be ali
sure! let's get into it! but first, for my vol. 8 cover prediction! i'm also pretty inclined to think that ali will be the next cover. he's the last one on the roster for our main cast, so it's preeeetttty likely. unless Orka throws us a fastball and gives us a Letran cover for whatever reason... (i'm nervous for the day we'll get a johannes/ludovika cover)
Annnyways! So far we've got the korean/english physical releases of ASM vol. 1-6 (7, if you include Orka's teaser for vol. 7 featuring Ohara). for the sake of the length of this post, i won't be covering the japanese edition covers (they're mostly all the same, just simpler)
i'll be deep diving below the cut! Spoiler warning! be warned! it's a lot of text! (at the least, check out my vol. 6 richelieu analysis!)
Vol. 1 features our protagonist Shuri in all of her beautiful glory! This cover is so beautifully... generic (as it was meant to be) so we don't get a lot of info but.... here's what we got
The golden lions crest: I'd like to think that the family crest is symbolic of how her newfound family will come to back her up in the first volume.
Jeremy, his siblings, and Nora: The framing of the Neuschwansteins on the left and Nora on the right is both foreshadowing to their early conflict and a way to show that they're all watching over her shoulders. Whether in judgement or in protection is what new readers will come to find out.
The peridot brooch: We all know the implications of the brooch and it's connections to Shuri's death in the 1st timeline. It's a looming warning above Shuri's head, but also behind her, just like how Shuri's death is a memory that she can't seem to shake.
The red ribbon: It's the red string of fate that links eeeeeverything together. And it's also the symbol of the Empire. The red petals are a symbol of romance and violence, something that sums up ASM quite well.
Vol. 2 features a young Nora holding his sword. This is where the fun starts and Orka sneaks in more narrative symbols. The cover is bathed in blue, Nora's key color and his family's color symbol.
Broken peridot brooch: On the leftmost frame, we see Shuri's peridot brooch shattering in a pool of blood. It's a violent red flag on an overwhelmingly blue cover. It's a direct reference to Nora's investigation of Shuri's death in the 1st timeline
Knight's armor: On the right, we have a suit of armor, stoically framed in glowing blue light. Becoming a knight for the Imperial Family is the fate for Nuremberg nobles.
Shuri's portrait: In the back is a frame of Shuri as the Spider Widow. Her head is cut off ominously, another reference to her death. There's a small spotlit corner of the portrait flickering behind Nora, like he's always thinking of her.
Blue roses: Blue roses are a mysterious symbol. Shuri also happens to meet Nora under mysterious circumstances and doesn't even learn his name until their fateful second encounter.
Vines: The wrapping vines in the background are a fairytale symbol for danger and fate.
Overall, my take here is that Nora must choose between the three framing elements, aka Streife (the Brooch), Love (Shuri), or Family (Nuremberg Knights). Shuri was never a choice for him in the 1st timeline, but her ending isn't over just yet! So maybe Nora will finally get to explore his 3rd choice.
Vol. 3 features Jeremy in a much simpler setting. This volume is almost completely centric around Jeremy's trial and the cover reflects that. His pose centers focus on his right hand (the hand he almost lost) as he unsheathes his sword.
Chains: Jeremy's imprisonment. that's it
Golden Lions and the Peridot: We've gone over this. If you see a peridot, it means Shuri. She's what is holding together the Neuschwanstein estate.
Shuri and Johannes: There are two silhouetted busts of the current and former head of the Estate. Johannes, in white, has passed on his burdens while Shuri, in black, inherited the burdens of the estate. The Neuschwanstein manor is overlayed on top of the two, as the real subject at stake during the trial.
Lilies: White lilies symbolize purity and rebirth. Jeremy believed he would lose his hand that day, and knowing that Shuri was going to sacrifice herself for him was Jeremy's rebirth. The trial was reshaped the trajectory of Jeremy's entire life, which had been written from birth.
Vol. 4 features Elias and the twins. From this point forward, I don't own any of the physical volume copies, so I can't be 100% certain about it's contents... but it's a bright cover for a new season and kicks off new arcs and new characters, but i'm not sure if it includes the epilogues.
Golden lions crest: of course we can't be without the crest again. I don't think it needs any more explaining.
Streife: The eagle on the left is the Streife symbol, the Empire's secret police force. It may be in reference to Streife reporting Shuri's death but i'm honestly not sure of the relevance here, especially when i don't know which chapters are in this volume.
Golden amulet and Safavid: On the right we have a golden amulet hovering over a bird's eye view of Safavid. It's a little teaser for when we finally get Ali's first appearance
Devil's trumpet and bellflowers: The white devils trumpet flower symbolizes danger and power while the bellflower symbolizes calm. You could say that it's the calm before the storm. Season 2 introduces itself with Leon returning from boarding school. Everything seems happy and cool until Shuri reminds us that political strife has risen over the 3 year timeskip.
Vol. 5 features Theo in a sinister red, gold, and purple palette. I should note that the Japanese releases are behind from the Korean/English releases. Specifically, Vol. 5 includes the missing epilogue episodes that were not included in Vol. 4. However, the Guardian arc and the Family Trip arc (included in Vol. 3 of the english release) are included in the Japanese version of Vol. 5. TLDR, I'm not sure which arcs are included in the official Korean/English Vol. 5 volume.
Violet roses: The violet roses are a symbol of Theo's mother, Ludovika. In the Japanese version, Theo's childhood flashback appears in this volume and we get some insight on Ludovika.
Mirrors and Richelieu: There's a strangeness in the way Richelieu, who appears a surprising 6 times, faces away from the audience. Mirrors should mean self-reflection, but Richelieu faces away from the mirrors. He's so focused on enforcing his beliefs on others and in the process, becomes the greatest sinner. He's aware of this, but he doesn't seem to care.
Cherubs: Two twin cherubs frame Theo, as they seem ready to stab him with their arrows.By season 2, Theo has already fallen for Shuri, in a toxic obsessive love.
Upside down crown: A flipped crown can mean a lack of authority or a change in power. Richelieu manipulating Theo strips away Theo's power as a royal. It also foreshadows Theo's depleting support pillars (Nuremberg and Neuschwanstein)
Vol. 6 features a young Richelieu. Like Vol. 5, the Japanese volume contains the flashbacks of Richelieu's past, which is the only main moment we see a young Richelieu. Anyway, there's a lot here.
Richelieu: This exact depiction of young Richelieu never actually appears in the manhwa (his forehead is bandaged, not his eyes). But there is significance in him being "half blind." Not to mention, there's a huge glowing iris on fire behind him.
There's a saying "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king." It's about a seeing man who comes across a town of blind men. He attempts to preach his seeing knowledge to the town, knowing that he is a tier above the people. However, the town cannot understand the meaning of sight and peck out his eyes, because after all, "the king must be of his people." Richelieu's seeing eye (in the background) is going up in flames in the same way. Richelieu literally calls himself a "king" in his youth, fully aware that he is cut from a different cloth. On the cover, he sits on a throne with a divine halo behind his head. Exemplary of how he feels "chosen" by God to strike punishment onto sinners. There's even meaning in the way he is holding his book. In art history, hands on a book in this specific manner is an allegory for great power in knowledge (think Aristotle).
Wolffe: I'll be honest, I'm not entirely sure of Wolffe's significance in the cover, but wherever Richelieu is, Wolffe follows.
Apple: Another symbol of knowledge. Adam's first sin was eating the fruit (apple) of knowledge.
Raven: Ravens are a symbol of transformation, prophecy, and intelligence. I've gone further into Richelieu and his connections with ravens here!
Windows: The windows in the background reference Richelieu's divine awakening. To the moment he woke up from his coma after drowning and the window light shone onto the church pendant on the wall.
Bubbles: The bubbles reference his drowning and eventual "rebirth."
Dogwood Leaves and Thorns: The red leaves can be likened to blood, sure. But did you know it's believed that the Cross of Jesus Christ was made of Dogwood? Richelieu believes his self-flagellation is a form of early repentance for his future sins.
The Vol. 7 teaser features Ohara, but it's highly filtered (for good reason) but we can soooorta only make out some things. There's a jewel? and what looks like Jeremy? I can't say much yet, but let me know what you think?
No new analysis, just wanted to say I got volume 4 today!!
And it does include all the epilogue chapters, including Richelieu and Theobald’s backstories.
wanted to ask about asm physical volumes covers they have a lot of signs and Symbolism especially Richelieu's cover , any thoughts abt them ? i love your analysis + btw i noticed an Eagle flag behind leon in the Vol.5 cover , is that the streife flag ? and who do you think will be in the next cover ? personally i think it would be ali

The Vol. 7 teaser features Ohara, but it's highly filtered (for good reason) but we can soooorta only make out some things. There's a jewel? and what looks like Jeremy? I can't say much yet, but let me know what you think?
I’m actually really curious about what kind of gem is supposed to be on Ohara’s cover. To my knowledge, there’s never been any sort of connection between Ohara and a specific gem in the manhwa, so I’m curious. I did do some quick searching for pink gems, and it seems the most likely candidates would be pink sapphire (left) or pink topaz (right).
I’m kind of leaning more towards the sapphire, because while both gems symbolize love, the pink sapphire can symbolize fidelity. And, well, the root cause of Ohara’s trauma was her father pretending to love her mother, only to cheat on her. It’s also supposed to help with emotional stability and harmony, while the pink topaz helps with emotional healing. Both gems work well for Ohara, in my opinion.
Also, all that red shading on her dress might be due to the fact that Ohara (unintentionally) caused Shuri’s death in TL1. If she hadn’t lied to Shuri about Jeremy wanting her at the wedding, then the church wouldn’t have gotten the opportunity to assassinate her in the middle of nowhere.
I have three different explanations for Elias facing away from Ohara:
The easiest explanation would be that they’re just not super close yet. They’re friendly with each other but not quite truly friends yet. So they’ve got their backs to each other. Though as you said, Elias is one of Ohara’s allies, so this could be them “having each other’s backs.” They listened to and comforted one another during the Hunting Competion, so there’s definitely some level of trust.
Two characters facing in this position can be used to show how they are mirrors of each other in some way. In this case, I think it could be because Elias and Ohara both felt lonely and unloved by their family. While Elias eventually learned to see that his family really does love and support him unconditionally, I don’t think it means Ohara’s father will be revealed to actually care for her. Rather, Ohara has to learn to open herself up to the Neuschwansteins, and learn how to be part of a family. To give love and receive love back. Just like Elias is still trying to figure his own position within the family.
This position can also show two characters that are on opposite paths from one another. Ohara is still clinging to that promised future with Jeremy (which might explain why he’s not completely turned away from her) but a future with Elias would be the opposite of what Ohara’s father wants for her, what she believes she wants. If she’s not careful, Elias will end up passing her by and she’ll lose him forever.
ASM Volume 7 Cover was released!!
Breaking my hiatus for an important news update!! The Volume 7 (Japanese) Cover that features Ohara has been officially released! I'll be doing a breakdown discussing the symbolism behind the cover below! Here's my breakdown post about the first 6 covers!
the WIP (now deleted from Orka's twitter) below!
Vol. 7 features a young Ohara in her iconic Season 1 yellow dress (above), flooded in an eerily romantic pink glow. Again, we don't know which chapters are included in the volume (and they differ between the English and Japanese releases) but here we go!
Red Ribbon: The first thing that comes to mind is the red string of fate ofc. Ohara is not only strung to Jeremy as his arranged fiancee but also to Shuri. Reminder: we've also seen this in Vol. 1's cover with Shuri.
Red Rose Petals: a symbol of romantic love, passion, or even sacrifice. Which ALSO makes an appearance in Vol. 1's cover. Again, drawing parallels between Ohara and Shuri's symbolism, with Ohara leaning more towards passion and Shuri to sacrifice. In this case, passion may refer more to her relationship with the concept of passion and adultery through her parents' broken marriage.
Heart Shaped Gem: It's unclear what kind of specific gem this is without a dialogue cue but most pink gems have a romantic affiliation, not to mention the literal shape of it. Again, we can draw more parallels with Shuri's peridot.
Jeremy and Elias: Funny how many parallels we can draw from Vol. 1's cover with Jeremy and Nora facing Shuri in her cover and Jeremy and Elias facing away from Ohara here. While Jeremy is tied to Ohara in an engagement, he's disinterested in her but Elias' position is a surprise. Perhaps if we turn around our thinking, we can see this as Ohara turning her back to Elias? Elias is one of her greater allies, but she doesn't quite realize it yet.
Pink Haze: While this is a bit of a stretch, we have seen a pink haze as a symbol of delusions when Johannes was hallucination Ludovika. I don't think it's far off to say that Ohara is drowning in her own insecurities, deluding herself into drawing false conclusions between Shuri and Jeremy.
Bloody Red-Marked Dress: OK. I don't think it's blood because she's not sinister, but I think the red shading is deliberate for a reason. The alternative cover shows this more clearly on the bottom of her skirt. I just think it's worth noting how violent it appears, especially hidden beneath the pink filter of the main cover's version.
BONUS:
Remember this sketch? Looks like it's a holographic extra illustration for the physical print!
