      In Norse it is Sigurd, it's debated whether they were the same person or not because their stories are different slightly, but both face of against evil dragons named fafnir. They could be 2 different people, I personally think it's like Greek vs Roman mythology, Greek came 1st but Rome altered the Gods and stories to their beliefs. Such as Athena being renamed Minerva, losing her status as the Greek Goddess of war and is instead a protector of the home, reduced from a war general to a mom basically.

      Nah, that completely goes against his character arc. Guzma exists as commentary on punk culture, and the notion that not every one gets to be successful in life. Guzma is one of those people who let his frustrations get the better of him, becoming the king delinquent we all love.
      For him to actually get a spot in such a high up, esteemed organisation kind of spits on that. It suggests “nah, everyone does well in the end” which isn’t what guzma is trying to convey as an idea. Plus I really do think he would reject the offer out of spite, seeing it as some sort of pity or insult.

Of which she clearly has a connection with? Though that might be to a lesser degree as Fairy might not be her "speacialty type".

    Lance's name could also be a nod to the "Lancer" trope.
    It's basically a character in a story who serves as a direct opposite of the hero, who usually has a friend-rival relationship with said hero.
    The lancer is the ice to the hero's fire, and usually fights the hero to teach them something or to make the hero realize there's various ways to achieve the greater good.

    Cynthia also sounds like Sentia, the feminine form of the Latin Sentio, which means 'I feel'. Legends Arceus introduces Cogita (which comes from Cogito, 'I think') and Volo (which means 'I wish'), giving the three of them a connection to the Lake Trio. (Cogita = Uxie for Knowledge, Cynthia = Mesprit for Emotion, Volo = Azelf for Will)

  • @justaman9344
    @justaman9344 Před 3 lety +3

    I just realized that Cynthia wears black clothes because her name is associated with moon, which mostly appears at nighttime(So black clothes). Color of moon during nighttime is usually bright yellow/golden, which is(or at least similar to) Cynthia's hair color. Cynthia is literally Nighttime personified in a sense.
    There is also Cyrus, whose name is associated with Sun. His team members wear white clothes. The sun emits all colors of rainbow(more or less) evenly and if I remember my physics correctly, then the combination of those colors is white. Cyrus's hair is blue, the color of sky during daytime. Yeah, all of this might be a bit of stretch but considering the amount of effort that gamefreak puts in designing characters and Pokemons, it might be true.
    Now, if all of this is true, imagine Cynthia with blue hair (based on blue moon) and Cyrus with Yellow/Orange(the colors associated with Sun) hair or Coat/Jacket thing he wears. That would be a sight to see
