There was no shifting gears. Was just saying that there was layers to the ideas in akira's archetype. yugioh is more about old mythology and the name cerberus is an easy label to point that out. .
>comparing his relationship with his sister to Cerberus
Haven't even described how Aoi was supposed to be like Aprodite or how Yusaku was supposed to be Ares yet. The metaphors are more expansive. Was just trying to keep the post about Akira and Hermes without writing a dozen more paragraphs.
And you can't really prove metaphors and symbolism. You have to abstract from what info is given. Look at this reply >>534567374, the audience shits on the concept on anything representing anything else without it being directly told to the audience in every single way. But they still watch fantasy cartoons made by occultist japanese writers. Like how many different major characters and monsters have to be based on greek mythology before the audience will accept the link? Are Bohman's Hydras and Typhon monsters not good enough? Is Spectre's mother tree taken from the story of Adonis too abstract? Soulburner's phoenix monsters? Armatos Legio's aesthetics should be obvious. And if I try to expand into the buddhist ideas will I have to explain Alexander The Great and the Bactrian empire too?

Also the Orpheus and Eurydice legend is there. Playmaker reviving Blue Angel in a tomb after his first duel with Revolver isn't that hard to figure out.
