Who Is Innocent Zero in Mashle?
Innocent Zero is the main villain in Mashle. He also heads the criminal organization of the same name that antagonizes Mash Burnedead, his friends, and his companions throughout the series.
He was one of Adam Jobs’ apprentices, along with Wahlberg and Meliadoul, back in the day.
At present, Innocent Zero is a force to be reckoned with, and only Mash Burnedead can stand up to him and defeat him.
Innocent Zero has a narcissistic personality to the extent that he believes everyone is inferior to him.
He also thinks everyone is born for his sake, which explains his goal of absorbing the hearts of all his children to become the perfect being.
What Is Innocent Zero’s Relationship with Mash?
Innocent Zero is Mash Burnedead’s real father, which means the anime’s main protagonist has five more siblings, and they are as follows: Doom, Famin, Epidem, Delisaster, and Domina Blowelive.
It is uncertain whether Mash is Innocent Zero’s biological son, but one thing is certain: Innocent Zero needs Mash’s heart to become more powerful than anyone in the world.
Meanwhile, there are a lot of theories online that say Mash was created rather than conceived naturally.
Why Did Innocent Zero Abandon Mash in Mashle? Theories Explored
Among all the children Innocent Zero had in Mashle, Mash Burnedead is the only one who was separated from them.
Fans think that Innocent Zero abandoned Mash because he wanted to figure out how much stronger Mash would be without his presence.
He could also be just an irresponsible father who doesn’t care about Mash’s whereabouts at all.
Since Mash is born with overpowered abilities, Innocent Zero couldn’t care less about him since he’ll find him eventually.
On the other hand, it could also be attributed to Innocent Zero’s preference toward Domina rather than Mash. Domina exists to please Innocent Zero, while Mash is the complete opposite.
There are also theories online that say Innocent Zero needs Mash to become the superhuman he is before he can absorb him.
So, what do you think? Why did Innocent Zero do this to his son? Stay tuned!
