The reveal was made by Tabata at the last hour, and Zogratis confirmed his identity during a meeting with his siblings. It turns out Lucius has been using the Time Devil's powers to coordinate the timeline to his liking, so the Zogratis brothers aren't too put out by Lucifero's loss. After all, Julius' identity is still a secret to the world, and his title as the Wizard King will keep the knights off his back for now. But as you can imagine, this big twist has taken netizens back in the best kind of way.
