Countess of Werdenberg (kind of resembles the Japanese version of Karen Wong from Xenogears, with Karen Wong being Chinese), Enuma (kind of resembles a female version of Citan from Xenogears), Kazamatsuri (kind of resembles Gohan from DBZ) look like Yakuza members because they're all dressed up in Italian clothes like Tuxedo suits.
Chairman Yuki and Reiko (kind of resembles a female [Reiko is actually a male] version of Goten) look like Yakuza members too except they're wearing Japanese clothes, not Italian Tuxedo suits. And Gilgamesh members look like Triad members because they're all dressed up in Hanfus. Except they're not Chinese, the only Gilgamesh character that represents Chinese is quite possibly Uno. I THINK each Gilgamesh character represent a certain real life nationality. Uno = Chinese Tria = Yankee (Tria kind of resembles Brolly from DBZ, in the Gilgamesh anime they depict Tria as being with most powerful Gilgamesh member kind of like how Yankees are powerful in real life because they have 6000 nukes pointed at Russia and China, occupy 160 of the world's 190 nations, and they also nuked Japan twice during WWII. My theory about DBZ movie 10 is that Gohan represents Japan, Brolly represents the Yankees, Goten represents South Korea, Trunk represents North Korea, and Goku represents Russia. Gohan and Goten being brothers is kind of similar as to how Japanese and Koreans are considered brother races by some Asians. Gohan fighting Brolly represents how Japan fought against the Yankees during WWII. And Goku and Trunks helping Gohan and Goten defeat Brolly represents how Russia and North Korea is capable of destroying America. And Brolly holding that giant energy ball down on Gohan and Goten represents how the USA is imperializing Japan and South Korea and has military bases in those countries.) Cinque = French Quattor = Jamaican Novem = Japanese posing as Laotian (Novem's god beast form kind of looks like Xenogears) Octo = Japanese posing as Cambodian Sex = Japanese posing as Vietnamese Decem = British Septem = German Duo = Italian From my point of view: there are no characters in Gilgamesh that represents Russians. |

Wow. Unlike a lot of people who post here, I really liked Gilgamesh but you are dragging a lot of symbolism out of it that never even occurred to me. I've been looking for an excuse to pull it off the shelf to look at it again and I guess here it is.
I rather liked the Countess character. She puts on an arch and imperious air but now and then lets show a softer and maternal side in rather odd ways. Like when she lets one of her young male wards sleep with her occasionally as a favor. Some of your representations seem like a bit of stretch to me but now I'll have to check it out. |
