Also, since we have a few weeks until The Great Devil of the 6th Heaven, Demon king of the sixth sky (aka Mara-chan riding a chariot) appears in august, tell me, what you guys think they gonna do this time? Only a new implemented Mara? maybe his Plug-in? just the PG? a new Run? A possible Boss? More penis-related jokes? etc etc.

At least a new face of a demon, like what they did to the old-looking Loki.

Dunno the story behind Law Break Loki but for Mara is this: In Nocturne, it's a optional boss in Shibuya. You encounter two Manikins (they re like Innocents in IMAGINE, but more... creepy) using a Baphomet to summon one powerfull demon, but as they rush the ritual... this fails and they summon Mara in a Slime-Incomplete form, so you have to fight. Also, i dont have a screenshot from EN server, but if you talk to the DCM old man in the Cathedral of Shadows in IMAGINE, he say something about "We see Mara's true form in a future" or something like that, so the idea to implement Chariot Mara is there from time ago. Btw, just for the record, Mara is a female demon.

I think the picture is photoshopped, though who could complain if that is what it ends up looking like. megaten.sesshou.com/wiki/index.php/Maraen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mara_%28demon%29Not only on the wiki but in the mythology (buddhism) they refrenced, Mara is MALE. If you have a link to some legit and offical refrence stating mara as female I'll believe it, but so far I've only found mara refrenced as it/them/they etc on the JP wiki.

The image in the OP isn't photoshopped, it's from their twitter () posted some months ago as a teaser
As for Mara's gender, the games themselves switch fairly often from the use of pronouns, some of them use male pronouns, other games use female pronouns

Mara IS A male demon but honestly I get tired of arguments over it. If people want to call a green penis a girl well...have at it. I read somewhere a while ago that they mistranslated Mara into a female due to the name being a feminine name in Western society but who knows. To me having read some Buddhist mythology books, Mara will always be male just like Gomory/Gremory/whatever.

Actually i think you right, because in another game (Skyrim) Mara is represented as a goddess instead a god too. Also we talk too much about Mara gender, but no one say what sort of event they gonna implement, so, any ideas?
