Have you ever considered the idea that Demon Lord Ghirahim could be only one of seven Demon Lords ruling the world below?
I base this question on the theme of the Seven Deadly Sins. Which also, in most popular depictions, each corresponds to a Demon Lord.
The seven deadly sins are wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony. I will not list the demons that correspond to each one, because I'm lazy. Just kidding. For more info about each demons see the above link.
I assume Lord Ghirahim is perhaps one of several Demon Lords we might encounter (or at least hear mention of) in Skyward Sword that corresponds to a deadly sin. To which sin he would correlate with remains a secret to everybody (or at least only me), as his duel with Link featured some of his personality traits that I could not easily assign.
BUT, something interesting I found might yet yield a clue.
I see something very peculiar about Lord Ghirahim's name. The word Latin word "ira" can clearly be seen within. This could, of course, be coincidental, but I wouldn't write it off as such, considering the word "Ira" is Latin for the deadly sin of "wrath", with which Demon Lord Ghirahim would correlate perfectly.
Here's a list of the other deadly sins in their Latin forms(in bold and italics):
Something interesting to note: The sin of "pride" is considered to be the most deadly, and is the most vile of the Seven. Hmmm...possibly our final boss?

I have more theories surrounding this theme, like: Lord Ghirahim encompassing ALL the seven deadly sins by himself and the seven sages could perhaps be the Seven Virtues, which are the antitheses to the Seven Sins. But in all honesty, these other theories I have sound a little fanfic-esque.

Note: I know this might seem controversial to some, but the Seven Deadly Sins theme has been depicted in many other video games and forms of media (i.e. cartoons, anime, comics, manga, etc.). Most of whose target audiences are children and teens. This theme in these forms of media are usually "watered down", altered, and/or allude to it-to best fit into non-controversial standards in regards to the target audiences. I believe that if Skyward Sword follows this theme, Nintendo may take the safe route and only make allusions to this theme. As such, it might not appear so blatant and may come off a-la Majora's Mask (e.g. Stone Tower Temple).
