Diabolo
The diabolo (/diːˈæbəloʊ/ dee-AB-ə-loh; commonly misspelled diablo) is a juggling prop consisting of an axle and two cups or discs. This object is spun using a string attached to two hand sticks. A huge variety of tricks are possible with the diabolo, including tosses, and various types of interaction with the sticks, string, and various parts of the user's body. Multiple diabolos can be spun on a single string.
History and etymology
Diabolos evolved from the Chinese yo-yo, which was originally standardized in the 12th century. Chinese yo-yos have a longer axle with discs on either end, while the diabolo has a very short axle and larger, round cups on either end. Diabolos are made of different materials and come in different sizes and weights.
The term "diabolo" was not taken from the Italian word for "devil"—"diavolo"—but was coined by French engineer Gustave Phillippart, who developed the modern diabolo in the early twentieth century, and derived the name from the Greek dia bolo, roughly meaning "across throw".
Diabolo (manga)
Diabolo (ディアボロ) is a manga by Kaoru Ohashi and Kei Kusunoki. The story takes place in Japan. The plot revolves around teenagers being converted to followers of the "Diabolo" by a secret society in exchange for the fulfillment of their wishes. Teens who have made a pact with the Devil begin to go crazy at age 17, often manifesting in acts of brutality and homicide, and upon turning 18 reach a point of no return to their original selves. The phenomenon is a mystery to the adult world and media, who try to ascertain the origin of mass teen violence. There are six great spirits (also teenagers) that serve the Devil, each of which has a hand in destroying the world. The main characters, Ren and Rai, use their own Devil-given powers to stop them while searching for their cousin Mio, saving other teenagers from their pacts, and racing against their approaching 18th birthdays. It describes its plot as "The age where the ensured bend to temptation and slowly fall from human to devil." It is published in French by Soleil, and was published in English by Tokyopop.

In Sorrow We Trust
by: Diablo(NO ONE KNOWS NO ONE SEES NO ONE CAN SHARE NO ONE CAN FEEL IT BUT WE DON'T CARE
THE DESTINATION IS UNKNOWN FOR US BUT IN SORROW WE TRUST)
I know a man who's still brave enough to say things straight without
Hiding behind those cryptic words and that strength will last until the world burns
I will always remember those words he used to say better not to have been born
Than to live without glory and that man has now reached the point of no return
He's got nothing to lose nothing to win he doesn't have to pretend anything
Against our lives yours and mine is lady fortune not so kind
