#Eliphas zexal

A is for Astral for @zexalmonth

Outfit swap because I feel Astral deserves to serve!

The prompt of the day 9 of @zexalmonth, "G for Gate", gives me the chance to talk about something that, since it came to my mind, I couldn't stop thinking about.

My love for Zexal has always been so great that it led me to see similarities between it and my other favorite things, in this case, one of my favorite comics of all time, PKNA.

Both of them have:

(Astral and Uno)

a very intelligent and logical character created with a purpose who became best friends/partners with the main character and, thanks to him, learns about emotions and what it means to feel alive. They have ways to think and act very differently from their partners, but they trust them completely and are ready to do everything to help them. They also have little to no autonomy and can't interact very much with the world around them, and most of the time, only the main character can see and talk to them.

Plus, they are both extraterrestrial, in a way.

(Spoiler: they both “die” momentarily and have a heartbreak scene where they say goodbye to the main character. They come back, luckily)

(Number 96 and Due)

a sort of evil copy of Astral/Uno who took over the latter and thinks of being better than the other one, but he is defeated by him and the main character.

(Eliphas and il Custode)

A character connected to the first one who is very strict on following purpose for which he was created and starts antagonistic to the main character, but then changed thanks to him.

(Yuma and Donald)

A main character who feels his emotions very intensely most of the time and tries his best to help everyone and whom most of the cast end up loving (even adversaries). They changed the lives of the people around them. They also have a very strong connection to extraterrestrial beings.

(Kaito and il Razziatore)

A character who started as an antagonist and then became an ally, who can manipulate time and has a younger relative whose he cares very much. They also are (kind of) thieves.

(Spoiler: they both die sacrificing themselves but they are later brought back)

Maybe some of them are a little of a stretch (it has been a while since I read the PK comics), but I had fun doing this comparison (and it made me remember how much I love PKNA, and also PK2 and PKNE. I have to read them again one of these days).

Resulted in a conversation with my homie about Eliphas.

Sums him up pretty well

[tronnyboyo]

This is why Astral never brings anyone home for dinner.

[sunny-bunnys-blog]

Don thousand and Eliphas are so divorced imo

Oh yeah most definitely

Eliphas always started the fights and in the divorce he took the dogs </3 justice was not served

[new-dawn-au]

Next up is Saki Tachibana!

Eliphas'a views on her are complicated to say the least.

He admires her knight-like insistence to protect Apis from any harm, but at the same time he fears that she might one day attempt to take Apis away from him, destroying any chance of ever redeeming himself.

"Hey, are... Are you okay?!"

"Urgh... Of all people, I was careless... I should have realized it the moment in which you looked up at my five Hopes."

["Man... This is even cooler than I'd ever imagine!"]

"'Than you would imagine...' In other words, you expected me to assemble my five Hopes!"

"*snickers* Figured it out, huh?"

"You even went as far as acting surprised when Hope made his entrance..."

"The time I spent making this deck was the most I ever used my head! And as I did... I kept thinking back... to the battles I've fought with you... You're the one who made me as good as I am now, Astral. All the tough spots I got through with you made me confident--in how I'd bring it to 'em, and in my power to believe in people! You and I are cut from the same sheet--so... if I have the power to believe in people, you have to have it, too! That's why I want you to think about 'em again... the power to believe in people, and how we all have the power to kick open our futures! And that's why I won't give up! You might be the best duelist in the world, but even if my odds of winning this duel are 10,000 to 1, I'm gonna make that miracle happen in this duel!"

"...*smile* That is the spirit... Let us see you try, Yuma! On behalf of the Astral World, I will battle with everything I have! Let me see everything you have!"
