murderbotのfluids （日本語では"機能液"と訳されていて、造語だけど意味は"functional liquid"？）について、はじめは人間の組織液のように少し琥珀色でクリアーなものをイメージしていました。

At first, I imagined murderbot fluids （In Japanese, it is translated as "機能液" which is a coined term, but it means "functional liquid"？.） to be slightly amber and clear, like human tissue fluid（ew）.

でも、DBHでブルーブラッドを見たらやっぱ青色とかもかっこいいな…という気がしてきました。少量の血液（ここかなり著者のこだわりを感じる描写です）が混じって床に滴る様子などが。

But when I saw the blue blood in DBH, I knew it would be cool...even blue. The way the a little blood (a description that I feel the author is quite particular about here) mixes and drips on the floor, etc....

ーー✂️ーー

待って、確認のためにNetwork Effectを開いたのですが。

Wait, I opened Network Effect to check.

日本語で「大量の機能液と少量の血液」とされていた場面、原語ではfluidの量についての言及ないんですね？（weapon holes, stained with fluid and a little blood.）

The scene that was described in Japanese as "a large amount of functional fluid and a little blood", there is no mention of the amount of fluid in the original language?

（weapon holes, stained with fluid and a little blood.）

血液がlittleなのに床が汚れているからこの場合fluidは多いはず、ということか…すごいな…

So the blood is little but the floor is stained so the fluid must be a lot in this case... great...

ーー✂️ーー

今現在の世界で機械のために用いられている様々な液体のことを思うと、ピンクやグリーンの可能性だってあるんですよね。可能性は無限大だ…

When I think of the various liquids used for machines in the world today, there are even pink and green possibilities. The possibilities are endless...

なんとなく水性でイメージしてたけど油性というのもアリですね。血液と混ざらずに床をてらてらと光らせる感じが。

I had somehow imagined it to be water-based, but oil-based is also possible. I feel that it makes the floor shiny without mixing with blood.

どうあれ、ARTがぶつくさ言いながらドローンに床を掃除させ、SecUnitをmedical suiteに運ぶことに変わりはありません。

No matter what, ART will still have the drones mopping the floor with bumbling and carry SecUnit to the medical suite.

I found the echo names in Chinese and I'm having such a Normal One over them

十九铁铲，无尽倒影 - Nineteen Spades, Endless Reflections

五大水滴，先之而落 - Droplets upon Five Large Droplets

一颗铃铛，十八琥珀 - A Bell, Eighteen Amber Beads

四针之上，枝繁叶茂 - Four Needles under Plentiful Leaves

六颗砂砾，群峰林立 - Six Grains of Gravel, Mountains Abound

两株新芽，十二支架 - Two Sprouts, Twelve Brackets

Look at them. They're all exactly the same length. I can't read half of them but I love how they're written. I don't think I could make sense if I wanted to rn but I have so many thoughts and they have something to do with the logographic(?) nature of the Ancient language and how names would be mostly the same length in it, instead of how they look in descriptions. How cool is this

#ramblings #im looking with huge eyes this is like. it's what i've headcanoned about the ancients all this time #i love ancient names i have so so many thoughts about them but i can never put them into words #i need to excitedly chatter about this but i DON'T KNOW HOW #i'm just. look at them. look at them!!!!!!!!!!

The Mystery of Amber Egg [Updated]

There are strands of hair inside of Rennala’s amber egg. What else we can find within one of the most mysterious things in the Elden Ring? [Update: hair aren't red, their textures are black, they are black only from certain angle]

This is going to be a long lore-journey in an attempt to uncover those secrets, welcome under the cut.

Well, for a start, let’s estabilish what we know about the amber egg: it was Radagon’s partying gift to Rennala, it’s allows us to respec and it is a container of the Great Rune of Unborn.

The shape and color of the amber egg help us to figure out that it’s the Erdtree’s sap from the period of Erdtree’s abudance, which is referenced multiple times in the descriptions. Blessings of the Erdtree are very valuable, and became even more precious when the age of flourishment came to an end.

The Erdtree’s old sap becomes amber, treasured as the most precious of jewels in the age of Godfrey, the first Elden Lord

It was once thought that the blessed sap of the Erdtree would drip from its boughs forever—but that age of plenty swiftly came to a close, and with time, the Erdtree became more an object of faith

Not so long ago I wrote a theory that Empyreans or even all demigods are spawns of the Erdtree, it was a hightly speculative essay, but I think when it comes to the amber egg, it’s hard to deny that it is somehow connected with the births of demigods.

Some people believe that Rennala tried to rebirth Ranni, but looking at the description of the Great Rune of Unborn in Japanese, I don’t think it’s true.

満月の女王、レナラの抱く琥珀のタマゴ産まれなかったデミゴッドの大ルーン

産まれなかった “unborn” has negative connotation, which means “person, who was never born”, while not yet born is まだ産まれない and “reborn” is a whole different thing (explaining how grammar works in two language that are not native to me is urrrgghhh). In other words, it is sounds like a child that was failed to born. This theory had been discussed in Western fandom for a while, but the evidence is different: amount of the cradles (4) in the library doesn’t match with the amount of Rennala’s children (3).

[warning: I’m struggling with Japanese grammar and can do mistakes]

I thought that subtle hint to support this theory is hidden in the description of the Slumbering Egg, but turns out Japanese wording is completely different from the Great Rune of Unborn, in Japanese it is directly stated that slumbering egg is a failure, while Unborn is simply… unborn.

Owl eggs that will never hatch. Material used for crafting items. Prized as a symbol of the most sublime slumber (it’s probably a reference to Miquella)

When I tried to search for 産まれなき者 “Unborn” all I find were Japanese discussions with a lot of confused fans, which makes me think that it’s not a common term, but something made-up for the game, but take it with the grains of salt because my Japanese is far from perfect. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it was intentional on developers part to make this name sound as dubious as possible; not giving us clear answer if the thing inside of the amber egg is dead, alive or exist in some unique state between life and death.

Besides the red hair, we can also find white orbs of unknown origin and black veins. And so, something organic was developing inside the amber, but I can only speculate about nature of this thing. Apparently, it is developed enough to be classified as demigod and obtain (?) Great Rune.

If it wasn’t for the name of Great Rune, I’d like to suggest that Rennala herself gestated it in an attempt to revive the Unborn, but according to Gideon the source of the Great Rune is the amber egg. Overall, all lore regarding runes and demigods is borderline incomprehensible and I will touch this issue again in my post, but it’s possible that originally Rennala recieved only amber egg and the Great Rune manifested inside of it after the Shattering.

Still, this doesn’t explain why whatever is developing under the amber shells didn’t hatch. I’m not sure that calling it “dead” would be the right thing to do, death has a very apparent style of manifestation in the Elden Ring, we all know what happened to Godwyn. But there is no water in Rennala’s room (spirit realm is a whole different thing, water here exists by default), no signs of deathblight corruption, even though Liurnia has surprisingly high population of royal revenants, the library shows no signs of un/death.

[speculation] In all this, we see the opposite picture, the amber egg functions like mini-Erdtree. It’s blesses people with “the grace” rebirthes them and takes memories away.

There is another model of the amber egg, during the bossfight it is inhabited by the sweetings, waiting for their rebirths. This is what they sing about.

Sleep tight, bound tight by Mother’s amber. Sleep tight, find life, in Mother’s umbra.

The power of amber egg influences sweetings even further, while their eye color is different from the golden eyes of demigods and people blessed by the grace, it’s indeed affected by the rebirth or even by the presence of the amber egg alone.

Rennala’s eyes are shining gold in the first cutscene, but since I don’t have access to the game files, i can’t say if it’s actually different color or simply a reflection.

As the cutscene before the second phase shows, Rennala and her amber egg are “protected” by Ranni’s (who, as we know, once a stole a fragment of Destined Death) magic. The nature of this magic raises a lot of questions: is Rennala in the second phase is an illusion or a puppet (the color of her spirit is closer to the puppets than ashes, but it’s not exactly the same), how come the amber egg can manifest the spirit realm and why does Ranni’s line sounds so omnius once you start to think about it.

Mother’s rich slumber shall not be disturbed by thee

Rennala and her sweetings is protected by the golden spell, which

[I mean, Ranni cares about Rennala, but she doesn’t bother to free her from the library or to take away Radagon’s belongings, but it is possible that she gave up on recovering her mental state and thinks that her “slumber” is a lesser evil]

Normally, we obtain remembrances from dead enemies, but there are two exceptions from this rule - Radagon, who doesn’t have one, and Rennala, who doesn’t die, but gives us Remembrance of the Full Moon Queen. My pet theory is that her memories were hewn in the amber egg, which is the Erdtree’s sap and mimics some functions of the Erdtree, but that’s only a theory.

Present day Rennala doesn’t wear her wedding ring, but illusion recreated by Ranni has one. The version from Rennala’s remembrance also gives player ring, which suports the theory that I wrote ebove - the spirit realm and Rennala herself in the second phase were recreated from her memories.

One more time it makes me question the state of Unborn, despite her sorry state Rennala doesn’t look exactly amnesiac (but maybe I’m wrong), she still remembers Ranni and knows how to reincarnate people. Could it be that her remembrance was duplicated in the same way as Tarnished duplicates their collection using bodies of the soulless demigods?

This can be, in large part, not exactly dead, which casts away everything I wrote above.

Rennala and her sweetings is protected by the golden spell and the source of this spell is the amber egg itself. Unless the amber egg was enchanted by Radagon (questionable, he learned incantations in his second marriage, when he was Rennala’s husband he only studied sorcery), it seems like it’s capable of casting incantations.

Now let’s observe the other side of Radagon’s family.

All information regarding the nature of Great Rune is vague and quite often is self-contradicting, notably, in version 1.0 what we currently know as Remembrances used to be called Runes, while Great Runes were referred as Shards, which gives an impression that Miyazaki himself didn’t exactly knew where he is going with this concept. Kind of ironic, considering that Elden Ring development name was Great Rune.

I can only wonder what’s going on with runes lore, especially when the runes themselves were renamed (Malenia and Miquella used to be owners of runes of Decay and Abudance) and current story can’t decide if demigods were fighting during the Shattering for the Great Runes or… they were born with them.

Mohg and Morgott are twin brothers, and their Great Runes are naturally similar

Well, it is never said that Rykard and Radahn are twins, but their runes are similar in shape too. But here is a little problem with Great Rune of Unborn: it is similar to Malenia’s rune. How is this possible, if M-twins were born after Radagon left Rennala? I don’t know.

Personally, I don’t like theories that it’s Miquella’s Great Rune, but I can’t deny that Liurnia is the most Miquella-influenced map after the Haligtree. Here we can meet Finger Reader, who says that we are destined to meet Miquella, Raya Lucaria is populated by crabs with ability to cast sleep (maybe it’s a byproduct of Rennala’s rich slumber), albinaurics are giving us clues about Haligtree Secret Medallion. In version 1.0 Carians Knights were gifted to Miquella by Radagon, but in patched description of Loretta’s helmet it was changed and it seems that now Carians reached Miquella by themselves:

Originally given for service as a personal guard to Carian royalty, the weapon’s blue glintstone has been replaced with unalloyed gold (Loretta’s War Sickle)

It is interesting that Miquella was so respected by people of faction that fell off hard after Rennala’s divorce; instead of freeing their Queen, Carians decided to serve a son from Radagon’s second marriage.

Aside from hard lore, I want to talk about animal symbolism in the portrayal of divorced duo - Godfrey and Rennala.

Godfrey’s signarure animal is a lion, he wears Beast Regent Serosh on his back, his title is Battlefield’s lion, in the universe of the Elden Ring lions are beasts are drawn to champions, and to lords (Beast Champion Armor). This is pretty straightforward reading.

However, when it comes to the actual animals, one of the most well-known fact about them is their habit to kick off old males from the pride and replace them with younger and more potent mates. Well, this one fits Godfrey too.

Will this little trick work with Rennala?

Rennala isn’t directly associated with any animal, but her obsession over the amber egg from her ex-husband reminds me of certain bird:

Brood-parasitic cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, abandoning parental care to their hosts.

Cuckoos also have the place in the Elden Ring story, their are symbol of Raya Lucaria soldiers.

The soldiers of Raya Lucaria were also known as the Cuckoos. They were given free rein by the academy to wage war as they pleased, and they were infamous for their rapacious ways.

Boasting high magic damage negation, this shield is used to hunt down mages. “Our enemy is none other than Caria itself.”

I don’t want to delver deeper in the complexity of political relationships between the Academy and Carian Royalty, but I shall remind that Carians and Raya Lucaria sorcerers aren’t the same faction, they descdended from the mountainthops astrologers (and maybe Nox), but for a long time were at odds with each other, and Rennala’s divorce was a mere excuse for a long-planned rebellion.

The surcoat depicts twinned cuckoos peering into a flourishing mass of glintstone. To a glintstone sorcerer, the body is a transient thing. The Cuckoo alone knows its insignificance, yet watches over it all the same.

However, Carians adapted Cuckoos method of the death avoidance, I wouldn’t be surprsied if albinaurics are simply byproducts of their attempts to create better spare bodies, but considering how imperfect they are, sorcerers decided to stack with the puppets.

Glintstone from within the sorceress Sellen’s body. Seemingly half-alive, blood vessels are visible within.

In essence, a primal glintstone is a sorcerer’s soul. If transplanted into a compatible new body, Sellen will rise again.

The old sorcerers would slice open their hearts with these blades to imbue a primal glintstone with their soul, and thus did they die.

As you can see on the picture above, sorcerer used the blue glintsone as a container for their souls, even thought the source of the glintsone and amber is the same - they are coming from the stars (in case of the Erdtree, it’s most likely grew up from the golden star, which was sent by the Greater Will).

If the stars command our fates, then amber-hued stars must command the fates of the gods (Amber Starlight)

Glintstone is the amber of the cosmos. Golden amber contains the remnants of ancient life, and houses its vitality, while glintstone contains residual life, and thus the vitality of the stars(Sellen)

I’m a bit of confused by the difference between glintstone and golden amber, while both Sellen and descripton of the Amber Starlight are suggesting that they are fundamentally the same thing, according to the Sellen, golden amber contains vilatily, while blue glintsone is capably of carrying souls. However, description of the Amber Starlight points connection between divinity and amber, leaving impression that one is accustomed to mortals and other is for gods.

Notably, Rennala’s method of rebirth carries both issues, her sweetings are frails, weak and can’t walk, they are also amnesiac:

Rebirth is as sleep to them, and with each awakening, memory fades into oblivion (Juvenile Scholar set)

I suspect that Tarnished is losing their memories too, this “feature” is what allows to “forget” attributes during respec. It is unclear why Tarnished rebirth is perfect, unlike the the rebirths of sweetings, or Boc (but in his case it might be explained by the lack of Great Rune inside the egg), but my theory is that the grace helps us.

It is also interesting that tarnished and Boc need Larval Tear made from the drop of a silver, a metal with the strong connection with spirits. But I don’t know if it is works like a substitute fetus or to preserve the spirit.

The amber egg rebirth mechanics definitely had things worth a lot of specualtions, but I want to get back to the topic of animal symbolism. What can we learn from suggestion that Rennala-amber egg-Radagon situation is a subtle nod to cuckoos birds?

Rennala’s amber egg isn’t her child, but something what belongs exclusively to Radagon.

In-game reference leads us to an unique method of escaping death used by sorcerers.

Do what do you want with it.

Rennala’s imprisonment is another mystery. Mother of two mighty demigods and Empyrean is completeley abandoned in the library for who knows how many years, perhaps, she was isolated here even before the Shattering. No one of her children tried to free her, Ranni cares about her rich slumber, but nothing more.

But let’s look at this situation from a different point of view, the Academy rebelled against royalty, attacked Caria manor, all remained Carians joined Radahn’s Redmane army or the Haligtree, but Rennala is still alive and relatively (by the Shattering not so hight standards of living) well. Maybe is held as a hostage, in the medieval times it was common practice to spare the lives of nobles and use them as pawns in future political games. Indeed, Rennala is a valuable asset… on the first sight.

We can meet Radagon’s Red Wolf in the debate hall of the Academy, but what is he doing here? Did he came to save Rennala or it’s another jailer? Radahn and Rykard were to busy losing siege of the Leyndell. There was an attempt.

This doesn’t explain why they didn’t tried to free their mother before the Shattering.

But knowing how Miyazaki likes to play with our expectations, I wouldn’t be surprised if Rennala’s imprisonment and demigods reluctance to save her has a hidden meaning. After all, there is already a case, when imprisonment wasn’t a punishment, but a part of the plan.

Zullie had a video about sweetings cut dialogues and I noticed the detail that I forgot to add - the tombstone. Honestly, I don’t know what does it mean, but the headless figure reminds me of the soulless demigods from the Walking Mausoleums, the pose is similar too.

I’m really amazed by the amount of effort developers put into this bossfight: from minor things that you usually wouldn’t notice like the eye color of sweetings and Rennala’s ring to completely hidden details like sweetings curling inside of the egg and the mysterious strands of hair. While trying to uncover the truth behind the amber egg, we are running into even greater mysteries. It’s fascinating.

07-Ghost - Name Meaning Megalist

07-Ghost features many eccentric names, but as weird as some of them may seem at first glance, they’re mostly quite meaningful! This is a list I’ve been trying to compile for a while now, but I can’t say it’s quite complete. Please do let me know if you have any ideas or catch any mistakes! I think 07′s naming conventions are really interesting, so I hope you enjoy this list!

Teito

Wahrheit (GR): Truth -> Referencing Teito's main goal of "finding the truth behind the war".

Tiashe: ?

Raggs: ?

Teito (JP - 帝都): Imperial capital -> If you combine the “Tei” part of Teito’s name with the “Ou” part of Ouka’s, you get Teiou (帝王), which means “sovereign”! Cute little easter egg.

Klein (GR): Small -> Referencing his small stature.

Frau

Frau (GR): Woman -> Weird choice for a name for sure. Regardless, it does sound a bit like “Faust”. According to legend, Faust sells his soul to the devil to use his powers, which is similar to what Frau did with Verloren's scythe.

Sichel (GR): Scythe -> Yes, it’s not “Zehel”. Also, it’s written as 斬魂 in Japanese, which means “killing soul”, possibly referencing Sichel’s ability to cut people’s ties with misfortune.

Labrador

Ilyusha (RU - Ильюша): Elijah -> Diminutive form of the name Ilya (Илья). This one is pretty interesting. It’s most likely a direct reference to Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov, in which there is a sickly young child named Ilyusha. Labrador appears to be influenced by the protagonist of this novel, Alyosha. Believe me, I’m not making this up, there are so many similarities between this book and 07! Amemiya and Ichihara even directly reference the novel in Battle Rabbits. Also, Elijah is a prophet, like Lab.

Kraut (GR): Herb -> Referencing the Kraut house's association with herbs and other plants. Also means "cabbage". Unfortunately also a derogatory way to refer to Germans, but that’s most definitely not intentional.

Labrador (EN): A type of tea -> Yes, yes, dog. But this actually is a rather fitting name, seeing how labrador tea is often used to make medicine. Also, this name was likely chosen because when shortened as "Lab," it's "Rabu" in Japanese, which also means "love". But you probably noticed that already.

Profe / Prophe (EN): From “prophet” -> Written as 預魂 in Japanese, meaning “soul of prophecies”.

Castor

Xínglù (CN - 行路): To travel -> Referencing his desire to travel with Lazette.

Hausen (GR): To dwell (negative connotation) -> He wasn’t very happy living in the Hausen House, was he? And yes, “Hausen House” is hilarious.

Castor (LA): Beaver -> From Castor and Pollux in Greek mythology, in which one twin dies and the other shares his life energy with him to keep him alive, referencing what Castor does with Lazette.

Fest (GR): Firm -> Referencing the firmness of the bonds they create. Written as 繋魂 in Japanese, meaning “connecting soul”.

I don’t want this post to cover even more of your dashboard, so you can find the rest of the names under the cut!

Mikage

Mikage (JP - 御影[石]): Granite, spirit of the dead, honorable shadow -> The dead meaning is a bit on the nose, isn’t it? His name is actually short for Mikageishi, which means granite-- all Celestine family members have rocks and minerals as their names! The shadow part of his name reflects how he is always by Teito's side despite being dead, and the darkness of a shadow contrasts the whiteness of Hakuren's name.

Celestine (FR): Heavenly -> With names like these, poor Mikage was destined to die early... This is also the name of a mineral, thus matching the first names of family members. Kohaku (琥珀) means amber, Rinka[iseki] (燐灰[石]) means apatite, Kokuyou[seki] (黒曜[石]) means obsidian, and Kairen[seki] (灰簾[石]) means zoisite.

Hakuren

Hakuren (JP - 白蓮): White magnolia -> Another name for this plant is Gyokuran! Name twins! Ouka and her helpers are all named after flowers, and Hakuren and Gyokuran are no exception. Also, as mentioned above, the “white” meaning of Hakuren's name contrasts the “shadow” meaning of Mikage's name.

Oak (EN): Name of a tree -> Oak trees are traditionally seen as sacred in Europe and in some stories about Christianity, reflecting the prestigious nature of the family.

Ouka

Roseamanelle: ?

Ouka (JP - 桜花): Cherry blossom -> Named after a flower like her helpers (Kikune [菊根] means “root of chrysanthemum” and Ooruri[sou] [大瑠璃[草]] means “cynoglossum”). “Ouka” was also the name of a warship used in WW2, which is a trend amongst characters related to the Barsburg military. And let’s reiterate the Teiou thing, shall we?

Barsburg: ?

Capella

Capella (LA): Small goat -> Capella is the name of the brightest star in the Auriga consellation. Another name for Auriga is "Almaaz," which is also the name of the mansion Capella now lives in with his mom. "A capella" is a type of "church-style" music, referencing Capella journeying with two bishops.

Lance

Rance (EN): A type of marble -> This one truly breaks my heart. Yes, his name is almost definitely not Lance. “Lance” is written in katakana as ランス, but his name is written as ランセ. His name is referencing his backstory... because he turns into marble. Get it? I’m so sorry you guys.

Relikt (GR): Relic -> Written in Japanese as 遺魂, which means “soul of relics”.

Ayanami

Crowell (EN): A stream of crows -> Sadly not “Krowell”.

Ayanami (JP - 綾波): Twilled wave -> Fitting the trend of Barsburg military personnel being named after warships used in WW2.

Verloren (GR): Lost

Hyuuga

Hyuuga (JP - 日向): Sunny spot -> Fits his personality rather well, but it’s also yet another WW2 battleship name. Also, Hyuuganatsu is an alternate name for the fruit Konatsu.

Konatsu

Konatsu (JP - 小夏): Small summer -> Konatsu is the name of a sweet citric fruit, despite all other citric fruits native to Japan being bitter and almost inedible. This is referencing Konatsu being the only human in his family and the Black Hawks, who are all Warsfeils. As mentioned above, an alternate name for this fruit is Hyuuganatsu. Also, the summer meaning of "natsu" matches the spring meaning of "Haru[se]"

Warren: ?

Kuroyuri

Kuroyuri (JP - 黒百合): Kamchatka fritillary -> A flower associated with being cursed, but also with love! This references how Kuroyuri is a good child at heart but feared by people for being a Warsfeil. The "Kuro" part of their name is usually masculine while the "Yuri" part is feminine, giving the name an overall genderless feeling, reflecting Kuroyuri's refusal to reveal or talk about their gender.

Haruse

Haruse (JP - 春?): Spring+? -> Every name in the series is written in katakana, so we don't know what the kanji characters in his name are. My bet is on 春瀬, but who knows. Regardless, the spring meaning of "Haru" matches the summer meaning of "[Ko]natsu".

Katsuragi

Katsuragi (JP - 葛城): Arrowroot castle -> Yet another name fitting the WW2 battleship trend.

Landkarte (GR): Map -> Referencing their ability to teleport. Written as 消魂 in Japanese, meaning “disappearing soul”.

Karu

Karu: ?

Er (GR): Awakening -> Short for “erwachen”. This was a headache and a half, and it’s still nothing but a guess, but what got me to this conclusion is that in Japanese, their name is written as 醒魂, which means “awakening soul”. I’m not sure what awakening has to do with the book of hell, though. So yes, guess it’s not Ea after all?

Shuri

Shuri (JP - 首里): Name of a famous castle -> I have no idea why some people think his name is written as “Shuuri”...

Yukikaze

Yukikaze (JP - 雪風): Blizzard, snowy wind -> Also fits the WW2 battleship trend. Snow is used as a reference to Yukikaze throughout the story.

Suzu & Yuki

Suzunami (JP - 鈴波): Bell wave -> Let me start by saying that the name “Suzunami” is not used in the canon manga-- it’s only in Begleiter, the second pilot chapter. His canon name is Suzu, which just means “bell”. Suzunami, however, is the name of a battleship used in WW2.

Yukinami (JP - 雪波): Snowy wave -> Like “Suzunami”, “Yukinami” isn’t a canon name either. His canon name is Yuki, meaning “snow”. Yukinami is a mixture of Yukikaze and Ayanami's names, since the chapter Begleiter explored Yukinami's relationship with Ayanami as his first assistant after losing Yukikaze.

Eve

Eve (EN): Life -> The easiest name of all! It’s referencing Eve from the Bible! Wow!

Kreuz

Ver (GR): A prefix indicating an action has had negative consequences or has since come to an end -> This is my best guess...

Kreuz (GR): Cross -> He was born to be a bishop.

Vertrag (GR): Contract -> Referencing their ability to make contracts with people to manipulate their souls. Written in Japanese as 契魂, “soul of contracts”.

Chrom

Veldeschtein / Weldeschtein -> Possibly a reference to Willem van de Velde the Elder & the Younger, who both painted warships. Chrom often painted in his free time.

Chrom (GR): Chrome -> Yes, it’s not Krom. I know we all like the way Krom-Kreuz-Krowell look similar, but they’re sadly not accurate...

Michael

Michael (EN): Name of an archangel -> Michael is the archangel depicted as the great protector of all that is good. Referencing Teito's duty as the pilgrim of Seele. Also, it’s apparently not “the Eye of Michael”, but “the Eyes of Michael”. At least that’s how Amemiya and Ichihara wrote in on their website seven years ago, if memory serves right.

Raphael

Raphael (EN): Name of an archangel -> Raphael is the archangel depicted as the divine healer. Referencing Ouka's healing zaiphon and wish to become a doctor.

Lazette

Lazette / Razette / write it however you want, honestly (Raggs): Songstress -> A 100% made up name! Its meaning and origin were revealed in the Hausen Family drama CD.

#07 ghost #07-ghost #07ghost #amemiya yuki #ichihara yukino #07 naming is so complex #also i could write a whole analysis about brothers karamazov and 07 #but i'd have to reread the whole 1000-page novel #aha... ha...#hopefully some day...

Text

“I could believe in hell, but it was impossible for me to believe in the existence of heaven.”—Osamu Dazai

Introduction 🕸️

Kohaku Meguno(愛乃琥珀), also known as KANDATA-KUN in rap battles, is an errand boy and second member to Echizen Division’s Clockwork Lament. A former syndicate member, he now makes a living off of running errands for other people, he seems happy the way he is right now, though there seems to be a chip on his shoulder that couldn’t budge, and it’s believed that this leads to his past connections with both the syndicate he used to be in and his older brother.

He claimed to have joined the DRB just to support his friends and protect his division but there’s a rumor that he’s also in it to find leads toward a certain “Hisui.”

He has quite the amount of scars around himself, most of them from tripping on rough surfaces when he was younger.

He is typically seen wearing an off white, off-shoulder sweater with black, knee length shorts and a black hoodie that he always kept unzipped, he has white, below-the-knee socks with a spider web embroidered at the sides and black and white sneakers. For accessories, he wears a dark gray beanie with two pins on its side, one of a clock with its hands on 4 o’ clock and another with the text “ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE” on it in a ring surrounding a door; he has a teardrop-shaped necklace made out of resin the same color as his eyes, it contains a fake spider inside, like a bug inside of amber, his earrings are of a similar style, minus the spider.

Hypnosis Microphone

Kohaku’s Hypnosis Microphone takes the form of a dark red paper cup, it has intricate spider web patterns on it, its windscreen is inside the cup and the cup has a long, thin red wire wrapping around his speaker’s shoji screen.

His speaker is a giant, black spider with speakers on its abdomen and eyes, it rests on a shoji screen and painted upon the paper of the screen is a depiction of hell showing many sinners tormented in various ways, the painting’s focal point is a girl in a burning carriage and her pet monkey. The wires of his mic connect to the giant spider.

Kohaku’s rap ability, MELOS, gives him a temporary speed boost; he can only use this twice per battle.

Kohaku’s rap themes revolve around hell, doing whatever to escape from it and clinging onto everything that’d still give one any trace of hope; he also talks about how things like second chances are as flimsy as a piece of thread. He incorporates a lot of alliteration in his verses. He also sneaks in subtle jabs toward his older brother.

Just like his teammates, he also references various literary pieces, he usually leans to short stories and references to religious texts.

Personality

Kohaku is said to be a troublesome brat, he seems to not take things seriously and he is very full of energy and enthusiasm. He is mischievous, liking to play small pranks on others for kicks, this annoys some of the elders in his place however he does all of this without any malice.

In the other hand however, Kohaku has very low self-esteem, he doesn’t think he is a good person at all, having lived most of his life in crime just to barely get by the days. He often blames himself for bad things that happen around/to him, including thinking that he is a burden and that’s the very reason his older brother abandoned him in the first place.

However, despite no longer being part of the syndicate, he still retains his cunning side from those days. If it meant that he can use it as an advantage in a situation, he’d use it without hesitation.

Background

<???>

Trivia

His birthday is the widely accepted day Noli Me Tangere by José Rizal was first published (all I got are just Facebook posts about it lmao)

He writes haikus as a hobby

His MC name and speaker are references to Hell Screen and The Spider’s Thread, both by Akutagawa Ryunosuke

His ability name is a reference to Run, Melos! by Osamu Dazai

He finds it funny, yet at the same time he’s also uncomfortable with how he is very familiar with the criminal personalities on the DRB

During his syndicate days, he usually leaves a piece of candy from places he’s been as a “calling card”

He still considers himself an informant as he still keeps tabs on Japan’s underground world

Wherever his brother is, he’s definitely living a far more comfortable life than Kohaku and he greatly resents that
