So after an upgrade Plymouth decided to stop working.. So I decided to remove it's face from my system.
1) I've removed the hooks from the initramfs and rebuilt it
2) I've removed the kernel command line from the grub cfg and rebuilt it
3) I've removed the package from my system too..
4) There are no traces of Plymouth on my system at all.. There are no service files either (although the problem seems to be earlier on the boot process)..
So why is the dam thing trying to run?? Have I missed something?

If plymouth is completely removed from your system, it gets loaded most likely from initramfs.
Are you sure you rebuilt the initramfs correctly, copied it to right place and grub is configured to use the correct image?
Your mkinitcpio.cfg looks fine, can't be sure about grub.cfg since I've never used it.
you can use 'lsinitcpio' command to list contents of your initrd image.

I've double checked the grub config and linux.preset (for the initramfs) and the intended initramfs is being used.

Here is an lsinitcpio -a of the said initramfs:

Everything looks like it should. Only idea I got left would be removing the 'plymouth.enable=0' boot parameter.
In theory it could cause some component to try to load plymouth, even though it's supposed to disable it.
That doesn't make much sense especially if you don't have plymouth installed but sometimes computer programs do unexpected things..

Hey, update to this problem.. it turns out that it wasn't a Plymouth issue but something separate. i've opened a new thread to reflect a potentially completely different problem - it's found here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1459760
Thanks.
