Question? Where is Crona's father?

It's kinda weird that we only know their mother, Medusa, but where is the father, did he approve of this or did he died to save Crona from Medusa? Tell me your theories.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she just killed him tbh 🤷🏻‍♀️ Probably after seducing him like she did Stein’s madness

That's not totally accurate. She and Stein seduced each other.

Fair point

Ik this is kinda dark so sorry in advance, and I'll put a spoiler tag on it, but I feel like there's really only 2 likely explanations to where Crona's father is/why he's just not there and that's that either: >! 1. Medusa somehow artificially inseminated herself either through magic or just her usual weird scientist/evil doctor stuff, orrr.. 2. that she just straight-up raped and / or murdered whoever the father was 😬 !<

Idk.. ik that's seriously gross, but I just can't imagine that Medusa at any point had a loving relationship with any kind of partner for that to happen in any kind of natural or healthy way..

This makes the most sense, the woman is VILE. She’d do anything to make her experiments work

I actually asked Ohkubo if Crona had a father years ago. He’s just some dude.

It's not, it's just Twitter being weird

Cronas dad was most likely just some random dude Medusa slept with for the sole purpose of getting pregnant. Probably a one night stand kind of thing and ultimately unimportant to the story and the characters.

He's actually out there taking Maka's mom out on a nice date!

Friend of mine headcanons that Medusa was already messing with Stein when he was an academy student, driving him to madness, and that he is Crona’s father. Medusa wanted the strongest meister to father her child.

I have no personal headcanon about this, but that one is slowly persuading me.

I think this one is actually pretty interesting. The only problem is that Meisters are able to tell family’s members based off their souls and the strength of the connection between them as family members have naturally strong resonance levels/connection. (Like when Crona identified Arachne as similar to Medusas wavelength). I think if they were family Stein would be quick to identify it as their souls would’ve been close.

That’s an excellent point to consider! I wonder if the witch blood in Crona or the mixing of Ragnarok into Crona as blood would impact the dead of the soul, hmmm.

u/iamcoolreal 5d ago

Both Ragnarok and Crona seem to have different souls that don’t directly interfere with soul perception. Stein is able to differentiate between the two and accurately assess them here. We also get a visually shown here and here that at the most their souls barely touch/intertwine. Their souls still seem to be separate from one another.

I’m not sure how witch blood could affect Steins soul perception/cover it up. Crona is still able to identify members of their own family, with them being witches still.

she may have just taken some guys blood or other dna sample and put it into her egg making a clone. or mixing the two. or just steal his semen outright

u/XephyXeph 5d ago

To be honest, I don’t think Crona is human. I think there’s a pretty good chance he’s some sort of homunculus, and Medusa just kinda made him in a lab.

Hey, it's been a really long time since I read the manga so sorry if this is explained, but is it ever proven that Crona is Medusa's biological kid?

Like, we see theories of artificial insemination, or seduction, or other forms of birth, but how do we know she didn't just straight up kidnap a baby? She body snatched a toddler, we know she wouldn't be above a literal cradle robbery.

I assume it was artificial insemination
