Highlights of Napoleon Manga (Chapter 10)

Fitzjames, Fitzier, and Nelson (spoilers for The Terror)

just finished watching the terror and I love the parallels they made with Fitzjames and Admiral Nelson, the obvious of course right out of the gate in the first episode, telling the tale of his chest and arm wound just like Nelson's (granted, not in the same shot) as well as character traits, such as vanity and wanting to be seen, wanting to be decorated and beautiful, doing whatever it took to do well in the navy to earn recognition despite serious hardships (in Fitzjames' case his family, and in Nelson's his seasickness and other illnesses and injuries that he collected and plagued him throughout his life)

[spoilers below picture of our handsome captain]

that these wounds eventually kill him (or at least contributed to his death) sadly slowly and tragically, and showing his arm--which of course Nelson lost--with severe necrosis, has a stigmata feeling about it, because if anyone is sailor Jesus, it's Nelson

all this made the scene of his passing all the more emotional as he was helped and comforted by his close friend, a fellow captain, in the hour of his death, a man he had grown close to

I confess this tickled me pink, not just because they had a great dynamic, but this seems like it may have been foreshadowed in the first episode as well, because when Crozier is looking at what I assume are collected papers, biographies, and logs of famous captains, look whose name is amongst them

second from left, (Admiral) Sir Thomas (Masterman) Hardy, the man who comforted Nelson in his final hours, Nelson's captain, the man he loved, whom Admiral Nelson said was everything he could ever want, as good as ever, and had a usual style of elegance in decorating the ship

okay so that last one isn't as relevant here but I do enjoy it very much

Captain Hardy’s Reward for gallantry, 1805, awarded to Midshipman John Lyons

John Lyons was born in London and entered the Royal Navy in 1798. He served on board HMS Victory as a Midshipman at the Battle of Trafalgar and was promoted to Lieutenant the same year. He was promoted to the rank of Commander in 1814 and Captain in 1830. Lyons rose to the rank of Vice-Admiral on the retired list in 1866 and died in 1872.
