Death's Group

**Death's Group** was a coalition among Joudougahama Lost and several other Devil King Candidates in order to "assist" each other in defeating other candidates, specifically candidates whose Arcana is considered to be their "natural enemy".

However, it became clear after Takakuzure Marios attacked  Yuuto with  Ruki that some of the devils within the group (specifically Kitakami Lunatic and Sansa Summers) are only willing to spare very limited amount of resources, just enough to show their "cooperaton". Lunatic and Sansa for example send their weakest card, while focusing on their target Hoshigaoka Stella.

Despite Lost being the "leader" of the group, he keeps his affiliation and himself often hidden. This led to Yuuto, Ruki and others to believe Marios was the leader and mastermind behind Death's Group.

The two rivals eventually fought in a battle Royale and Lost and his comrades were all killed.

## History

### Volume 03

Death's Group is 1st introduced when Lost and Rinne "invade" Marios tower, destroying few of his cards and creations in process, only to invite him to their alliance. Lost tells Marios that Lovers arcana is his "natural enemy" and offers him help against Yuuto.

Later, Marios attend meeting, where he meets other members, 6 including him in total. Kitakami Lunatic and Sansa Summers insists on making Hoshigaoka Stella their first target, while Marios insists on Yuuto being the 1st. After Lost joins the argument, insisting to Marios that Lunatic and Sansa will join them only if they will meet their conditions, Marios resigns and agrees.

Marios attempts to "invite" Yuuto to the group, but he quickly changes his mind and decides to attack Yuuto and Ruki who were forming an alliance of their own. Thanks to Death's Group superior numbers, Lover's Group is forced to run and it is the 1st time Yuuto experinces Shimokadzu Rinne "Infinite Replay" ability right as he sees Reina dying only to be taken few seconds into past to alter his decision and save her, showing his care for Reina to Marios. However, Carnac Neith appears in her chariot form and saves Yuuto, inflicting casualties to Death's Group and with Lizel and Miyabi appearing moments later Marios is forced to retreat.

Later, Death's Group attacked Hoshigaoka Stella. After initial success in restricting her magic abilities for a while and Lunatic using his Quuen of Night to mentally attack Stella it seemed their victory was imminent. However, Stella managed to overpower Lunatic spell, she then told Lunatic he has 24 hours left before he dies and asks him to choose between dying now or later. Lunatic answered he decides none until he kills her, resulting in Stella using "Galaxy ZeroCelestial Body Dead Ball", obliterating and killing Lunatic with most of his cards in process. Marios and others retreated, while  Lost invited Stella to their alliance, but Stella refused, telling Lost she hates to be ordered around and alliance would restrict her.

Marios was very frustrated with the battle as he lost more of his manpower. Lost tried to calm him. Ultimately Marios waited in his tower for Yuuto and his peerage to come. After sending and losing the remainder of his forces against Yuuto, Marios was forced to retreat and met Lost near his secret hideout. Marios already furious asked Lost about his past, stating he was never a student, and he is neither a noble. His inquiry resulted in Lost getting serious, killing him on the spot without any opposition from Marios.

Later, Lost met with Yuuto, stating there's a special "alliance" between the two of them, as he is also a rebel of devil king academy.

### Volume 04

Lost revealed he was a low class devil, resenting the current devils feudal system and wanted Yuuto to join him in his quest to create a new devil world. Yuuto was confused, yet tempted to take up Lost offer, but before he was able to fully reply, Himekami Lizel interfered between Yuuto and Lost conversation. After additional chit chat Lost left, but moments later, Hanged Man devil king candidate Hayachine Yotaka appeared. She introduced herself as a Lizel archenemy, stating her desire to ruin Lizel and her Himekami household

During volume 4 Hayachine Yotaka and Sannou Seigi were revealed as members of Death Group. Sannou sisters bumped into Yuuto and his peerage, resulting in a fight. Sannou sisters had an upper hand until Lost intervened. After a discussion and sudden appearance from headmaster Gandou, Sannou sisters retreated.

Later, Death's group had a meeting to decide their next target. Sannou sisters wanted to get rid of Yuuto and found enough support to enforce their plan. After the meeting, Sannou sisters discussed their distrust towards Lost, believing he was hiding something due to his attitude towards Yuuto agreeing they will focus on Lost after they will deal with Lovers.

Unfortunately to Sannou sisters, Rikimaru was overpowered and killed by Yuuto's "World Fall", shocking Seigi, refusing to believe her sister was defeated. After another headmaster Gandou appearance, dealing with out of control "World Fall", the entire Death Group appeared with Lost delivering an ultimatum to Yuuto. Yuuto refused, much to Lost displeasement. Luckily Ruki appeared to assist Yuuto along with Aspite, saying he will be the one who will defeat Morioka Yuuto. At the end of volume Lost stared at Lovers new friend Poran while she asked Lost "You are alive?", "I’m glad woof……Lost-niichan." revealing to be Lost's acquaintance.

### Volume 05

Lost meeting with Poran shook him, but he regained his poker face. The two groups parted in peace. Lost's group later plotted an assassination of Stella. Lost announced a new member, Mizusawa Balance. However, Seigi had enough emotionally and left. The cracks were beginning to show.

The assassination went well. Stella almost died, but she managed to escape. Still, the group saw it as a victory as they severely weakened Stella. Rinne visited the candidate of Hermit, Kozukate Hisoka to congratulate her for the assistance she provided with her brainwash ability. Rinne convinced Hermit to help them with one more person. In Golgotha territory, Lost killed Ayaori Iratsume, who was already in a bad state after her fight with Aspite. Aspite retreated, so Lost went his own way.

Death's group faced Lover's Group in a battle royale. They got annihilated and ceased to exist. Lost tried to convince Yuuto to join him one more time with the brainwashing, but he failed, and Yuuto eventually came on top, killing Lost.
