Finally when they emerge as holy warriors, they are no longer humans, from the emotional perspective.

You made your decision. These are the repercussions."

In ancient times the pineapple was ever the symbol of welcome, though the church used the objects in a different way. Apparently, each theological student of good family and destined for high office was given one on beginning their training and forbidden from pulling the lever on pain of excommunication.
