(ack, late reply, sorry. Busy weekend) Yeah, I noticed that bit, but then again, Ryou has the same hairstyle as Yubel, so I wasn't sure either whether it was intentional or Only Six Faces. Heck, even Bruno has very similar facial structure to the two of them. And I absolutely do not have about three concurrent crack theories running about that, whatever made you think so?
Mmm, even with it being Juudai it still seems too fast to me? Or too meaningful, perhaps. Though it might be me fixating on the 'have we met before' line. I agree that they were probably intending to go somewhere with Johan, but had to drop the thread. There are a fair amount of things we just never find out about him: does he have human family? Why was he not on the cruise ship? And one thing that always struck me as odd was in 172, where he sees that Juudai's Fusion card is infected by Darkness, even though no one else had been able to see it before. I want to write it off as being related to seeing spirits, but Manjoume didn't see the Darkness in the cards at the start of the season.
Oooh, I wouldn't have made that connection! (It's seriously been too long since I read the Bible). I might need to rewatch seasons two and three with that in mind. It certainly wouldn't surprise me, since the 'promise' meaning wouldn't be at all far-fetched in this situation.
Right now I'm mostly focusing on Chinese mythology, which sadly doesn't feature much in the way of rainbows (or, for that matter, a coherent narrative). It's easy to find info on the cultures that wrote down their myths, but since a lot of them didn't, for various reasons, I'm always a bit wary of books that purport to give a complete overview (I'm still headdesking over the one that decided that Pan Gu and Pan Hu were the same being, despite one being a cosmic representation of chaos and the other a dog). Also that's a sweet story! Which culture is that from?
