Biblical references and relationships

Jan 14, 2010 11:33

I AM VERY BORED and have two hours to kill before history class. Watch as Metin psychoanalysis the Christian references and some of the relationships in Needless. I'll be adjusting on this bit by bit later.

Adam Blade - Self-explanatory.
Eve Neuschwanstein - Self-exploratory.

Christian canon - For the slow ones, Adam and Eve were the first humans created by God in the Bible.

Needless canon - Adam and Eve were genetically cloned by humans! Blade was the 79th successful in a line of failures known as the Adam Project. And Eve was probably the only successful one in the Eve Project. This information may change since we're finally getting some more background about the Eve Project in the manga.

Blade and Eve's relationship - In the Bible, Adam and Eve fell in love, got exiled out of the Garden of Eden and had lots and lots of children to populate the world. In Needless, I think Blade was slowly getting a crush for Eve when they were kids. Since Blade was really intelligent, he was also pretty shy and awkward around her. Eve was pretty retarded as a child (and that hasn't changed), but she loved to play with Blade after their schooling lessons. Then the PF Zero explosion happened and Blade lost his memory. Don't know if Eve still remembers everything or not, but I'll do some canon revision on that.

In current times, Eve still obviously still likes Blade. Blade became a lolicon and that crushed all of her dreams. On Blade's side, the feelings aren't romantic since he finds Eve pretty annoying. Take note that Blade doesn't hate Eve completely since one of the the key points of the Simeon Assault Arc was him and everyone else bum rushing Simeon headquarters to rescue her. So, I think Blade sees her more like a comrade and a best friend. Blade treats almost all of his friends like crap, but he still looks out for them. (Basically, he's a tsundere for his team)

Adam Arclight - Arclight is one of the characters in the Lucifer/Devil position of the story. He's obviously the big bad, he has a team of elite Needless to do his bidding, has a evil headquarters to chill in and he has "I AM GOD YOU CAN'T DO SHIT TO ME" dialog along with cryptic bits. In Part 2 of the story, his character design grows more demonic after the events in Part 1 (I'll fetch the image later).

Arclight and Blade's relationship - While some people believe Cruz and Aruka represent the Cain and Abel relationship in the series, I think these two do it more better. Arclight was the 78th clone in line of the Adam series, but he failed. Blade was the 79th clone and he was successful (up to him becoming a lolicon part). Arclight hates Blade because he was more perfect, but Arclight needs Blade's body in order to become the perfect being.

Arclight and Eve's relationship - I... I think Arclight might have a tiny crush on Eve. His actions after capturing her were more than subtle.

Saten - If the name didn't tip you off, he's another one in Devil position for the story. Saten represents the Snake that tricked Eve into the eating the Apple of Knowledge.
