General Xros Wars Discussion

[Candescence]

Might as well compress discussion of this series into one thread.

Anyway... Bagramon. Since his first appearence, I've noticed that the Digimon Wiki says that he's a demonic inversion of Archangel Gabriel. This explains a lot, actually. Gabriel is God's messenger. The other two most well-known Archangels are Michael, who handed Lucifer his ass on a platter during the fallen angel's rebellion, and Raphael, who is basically the chief medic.

Though, I am curious. Though having Bagramon as a mythical inversion of an archangel other than Lucifer speaks volumes of his power in itself, I wonder why they didn't pick Micheal, who, as I mentioned, wiped the floor with Lucifer and is one of the most bad-ass figures in the Bible, second only to God himself.

Maybe Michael was too strong to be inverted or too elusive to get enough data for a copy? Maybe he'll show up later in the show when everyone thinks everything has been resolved?

Supposedly, the title's justification is that Chaos(already a weird pronunciation) is spelled with an X in Greek. Maybe a "Xaosmon" will show up? I'd like to see their take on the god of air.

Eh, who knows?

Also, Bagramon is an expy of Lucifer from Shin Megami Tensei, as in, he was cast out by God for rebelling against him because of "the unreasonable justice of the world", and wishes to cast out God with his 'new justice'. In SMT, Lucifer was cast out by God for rebelling against him, and compared to SMT's usual portrayal of God, is actually a nice guy, who advocates "freedom", which the Messians don't like, it seems.

... Why do I have this feeling that Yggdrasil is the main baddie again? Hell, he'll probably look like this.

I don't really think it would be yggdrasil. Bagramon's body was repaired by a tree according to the digimon Wiki. And Yggdrasil is a tree, or at least lives in a big one in digimon right?

Well, my pic was a joke, really, haha.

Also... Latest episode. Needs to be seen to be believed.
