Fuck, I'm just going to get into it.

Okay, we'll disprove this huge claim: that Zolgonak is Hades. And then we'll discredit the Marietta = Rivi Archangel claim as well.
The "translation" posits that Zolgonak was defeated and then faced Ein in Parveeju as Hades. This is impossible as Riviera itself says that Hades was sealed by the Gods themselves in Riviera - the Gods dying long before Riviera or YU take place.
Not just that, but say that Rivi's Archangel was indeed Marietta. Since YU takes place within a few years of Riviera (perhaps mere months or days; revealed by the fact that they face one of Hector [mentioned by name]'s prototype Grim Angels wielding a prototype of Malice's fake Diviner), that means that Kitten would have to take place sometime in the short period between Riviera and Yggdra Union. Marietta would have had to have been exiled from Heaven (thus having her wings removed) then traveled to Riviera and discovered Hades lying there. Then Hades would have had to give her the power to summon demons as well as restore her wings (and that just doesn't make sense because if he gave her this power why can't he escape Parveeju and why can't she help him do so), and then travel back to Tetyth, populate it with demons and encounter Ein.
That's all very convenient timing, and, it could actually be possible... Until you remember the Hades-Zolgonak relationship fails. Because of that, it gives a wide span of time for our lovely Archangel to be borne of Marietta's downfall.
But I doubt they're the same. I'll be able to be certain when I finish Kitten.
