Me. Go write them now.

Most likely to be a character in your erotic novels.

Sorry that this is not the topic, but @Shinuki no Reborn do you know the reason why BORUTO was the one of the few manga on WSJ to be monthly? I'm seeing a lot of people saying that Kishimoto will be back with a monthly release on WSJ but i completely doubt that

I like how things like this and me asking people in the basketball thread to dm me are at different ends of the spectrum but both highlight the reading comprehension issues that are prevalent on this site

Start by DMing Faust a true/false question for me to answer

Schematic summary of these main groups:

1) Chimera ants ("Aliens-another species" based on polytheistic ancient Egyptian gods later syncretized with monotheism and Christianity)

• Meruem=Aten=Incarnation of The Sun, the only "God"/The King-Pharaoh (henotheism/monotheism for Ancient Egypt) and "Alien" Avatar/Hypostasis of Christian Trinity "God"=Holy Spirit (later fused with Pouf and Youpi= the Christian Trinity) that supplanted the other Chimera ants/gods
• NeferPitou, ShaiaPouf, MenthutuYoupi = Nefertem, Shai, and Mentu = Egyptian polytheistic gods in ancient Egypt and then fused with Meruem into the Christian part of the Trinity (God the father = Pouf, Jesus the son = Youpi, and Virgin Mary=Pitou)
• 36 division commanders = 36 Egyptian decans (of the Ancient Egyptian calendar) governed by 36 Egyptian gods (Chimera Ants: a mix of humans and animals-insects like the depiction of ancient Egyptian gods)

2) Zodiacs (Anthropomorphic God the father and the angels of heavens + Buddha and the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac)

• Isaac Netero=God the father, anthropomorphic manifestation of "God" (for Christianity) and Buddha/Krishna: Avatar of Vishnu, the second part of the Trimurti with Brahma and Shiva (for Hinduism/Buddhism)
• Zodiacs members=Angels of God the Father/Isaac Netero

3) Genei Ryodan (Anthropomorphic Lucifer and the fallen angels + Jesus and the 12 apostles reversed)

• Chrollo=Lucifer, the leader of the fallen angels + Jesus/Antichrist (a reversed Jesus)
• Ryodan members=reversed 12 apostles + the fallen angels that followed Lucifer/Chrollo (the city of the shooting/fallen stars, is metaphorically the city of the fallen angels, and it is based on the historical/theological Valley of Hinnom/Gehenna, the prototype of Hell)
• Chrollo vs Hisoka= Lucifer vs "Death" and Antichrist vs Jesus Christ (a perverse Jesus) with the resurection of Hisoka the magician/Jesus the magician

4) Main characters/adults: Chrollo-Hisoka-Pariston-Ging (related to Gon-Killua-Kurapika-Leorio) = The main anthropomorphic beings that are related to the Absolute/impersonal "God"
The real "metaphysical" "God"/Absolute, Impersonal (Tao, Trimurti-Brahman, the Christian Trinity, Alpha and Omega etc)=Isaac Netero (Yang)+Beyond Netero (Yin) = Tao = Ungyo and Agyo = Alpha and Omega = The absolute impersonal "God"

• Chrollo=Lucifer, the leader of the fallen angels
• Pariston= Michael the archangel, the number 2 of "God", the vice leader
  • 
• Hisoka="Death"/Grim Reaper: (ヒソカ) means "secret or mystery" (like "Death" with no name), the "Joker card" of reality/the game
  • 
• Ging= The Avatar of the metaphysical "Absolute God/The Creator of Reality/Universe" (metaphorically, the Creator of Greed Island: creating a videogame, it's based on the philosophical "simulation hypothesis" where the reality is reductively considered as a videogame, a phenomenical/physical construction. The philosophical simulation hypothesis posits that reality is an elaborate, computed construct, resembling an interactive videogame. Popularized by Nick Bostrom and debated by thinkers like David Chalmers, it treats the universe/reality as game, where the "laws of physics" are game engine rules and "consciousness" is the player's experience reductivelly related to "spirit/soul" in religious believes. It's also related to
  1. Kant's division of Phenomenon (the physical/sensible world) and Noumenon (unknowable/metaphysical world, beyond mind and senses) but the Noumenon is also considered on an ontological level (existence) not only epistemological (limit of knowledge) like Kantian philosophy. In general terms:
     • -Spirit/Metaphysics=Source code
     • -Physics (Classical+Quantum)= User interface
  2. Plato's division of Sensible world (the physical world studied by science) and Intelligible world-world of Forms (Hyperuranioum, the prototype of Christian Spiritual world: The metaphysicas studied by philosophy also based on intuition and symbolism)

Like i have already said, the opposition between the Zodiacs (Hunter) and the Ryodan (Criminals) is metaphorically represented as the battle of Heaven and Hell

They are like the Tao: White side-with the black point inside and Black side with the white point inside

• The Zodiacs represents the white side with the black point inside= so they aren't totally "heroes"= like the social world
• The Ryodan represent the black side with the white point inside= so they aren't totally "villains"=like illegal world

There groups are also specular:

"Aliens"-Chimera ants:

• "God" (Metaphysical-Absolute-Impersonal: Tao, Brahman, etc)>Meruem (Chimera ant-"alien" avatar of "God" and Aten-The Sun)> Pitou-Pou-Youpi: 3 Royal guards (the other 2 "alien" aspects of the Trinity with an "alien"-chimera ant Virgin Mary-Pitou) > 36 division commanders (chiemera ants-"alien" gods: ancient egyptian gods: mix of humans and animals-insects)

Humans:

• "God" (Metaphysical-Absolute-Impersonal: Tao, Brahman, etc) > Chrollo-Pariston-Hisoka (anthropomorphic manifestation of Lucifer, Michael the archangel and "Death/Grim Reaper": the main beings related to the real Absolute "God", not the lower "anthropomorphic avatars") > Zodiacs-Ryodan members (anthropomorphic angels of heaven+fallen angels)
• "God" (Metaphysical-Absolute-Impersonal: Tao, Brahman, etc) > Ging and Isaac Netero+Beyond Netero (anthropomorphic avatars of the Absolute "God") > Zodiacs-Ryodan members (anthropomorphic angels of heaven+fallen angels)

By the way, Togashi continously created oppositins about characters and groups:

1. Chrollo (Ryodan-Criminals/Hell)=Lucifer...... specular to Pariston (Zodiacs-Hunters/Heaven)= Michael the archangel
2. Hisoka (Ryodan-Criminals/Hell)="Death"......... specular to "God" and Ging (Zodiacs-Hunters/Heaven)
3. Illumi (Zoldyck family-Assasins/Hell)= Satan.......... specular to Tserriednich (Hoikoro family-Royals/Heaven)= Jesus
4. Meruem (Chimera ants)= "Alien" Jesus/Avatar of Trinity God .............specular to Gyro (Chimera ants)="Alien" Lucifer for Chimera ants (that went to Ryuseigai like Chrollo (an antropomorphic Lucifer) and a new King instead of Meruem ("Alien" Jesus/Avatar of Trinity God). He is the only Chimera Ant soldier known to have completely ignored the Queen's commands.

In short, the main "adversaries" in the Manga have all a religious/symbolic meaning:

1. Chrollo=Anthropomorphic Lucifer (and a depiction of Antichrist/"a fallen Jesus")
2. Hisoka= Anthropomorphic "Death"/Grim Reaper (and a depiction of Antichrist/a perverse and pedophile Jesus)
3. Pariston= An Anthropomorphic, evil Michael the Archangel
4. Tserriednich=An evil, rich Jesus (Another depiction of the Antichrist but with the western white man popular iconography/depiction of Jesus, that in reality was a Middle Eastern Jew, not white)
5. Illumi= Anthropomorphic Satan/Illuminati that controlls the minds of the shadow governments (the 10 dons), like Big Brother of 1984
6. Meruem= An "Alien Jesus/Trinity God" for another species: Chimera ants
7. Gyro= An "Alien - Chimera ant" Lucifer

Just a comedic thought: Imagine our religious and political clowns if these beings would really arrive, i doubt our istitutional clowns would still think about propaganda, money, power and selfishness under the facade of morality and "humanity"

That last Sanji panel is so good. Telling a CD his head is too high, lol.
