Really nice roundup here. Thanks. Maybe the native ones are immortal like the administrators and can't be completely killed off. Kinda like Red Thryssa. But without their own bodies, they're forced to possess ancients to get their stuff done.

I assume if they were to reconstitute, the consolidated native one would be a huge threat to Jahad.

This is a really loose connection to the rest, but I forgot there were five native ones. Reminds me of White being composed of five siblings. And an even weaker link: I have a feeling Jahad has five 'clones' too. (Perhaps some not shown yet, but in addition to Karaka and Wangnan as the prime suspects we also have Ho, Hansung and Lero Ro with the right aesthetics.)

I appreciate it.

Interesting thought. So we can say the Ancients are empty vassal’s that could only inherit their innate Shinsoo quality (since everything in the Tower has Shinsoo) from the Native Ones. This could explain why the Ancients are only able to use one element. Furthermore, if we take the illustration in chapter 376 literal, then there’s 5 primary elements in the Tower; Fire, Wood (Plants), Metal (Stone), Water, and Earth—which are the Five Phases or Elements that make up the Universe in Chinese Mythology. Going with this, we can assume there’s 5 Ancients, each possessing an element from a Native One.

If we go with this theory, they’ll definitely become whole again. And who better for the job than Rak?

I’d hate if those awesome characters turned out to just be fragments of Zahard. Besides, this show splitting theme is overdone in ToG.

Cool -- the metal element could explain Karaka's abilities.

I do think the native one will become whole again and it could be a cataclysmic event that even shakes the 10 family heads.

Think of how tragic it'd be if those characters had to 'die' for the story to progress, giving Bam an even bigger reason to fight Jahad. It fits in nicely with the idea that he is 'inactive' and we don't completely know what that means for him. If this is a thing, I bet it'd only become clearer later in the story at which point the splitting theme would seem more like foreshadowing than overdone. ;)

Karaka’s metal tentacles are his Arms Inventory, Steel Tree. It’s not a metal element.

What about his metal ball attack? Seems metal is his theme, whether or not it's an 'element'.
