Chiitan, my favourite Xenogears character :)
Everyone seems to have a favourite topic in d2 (character, race, groups etc) that I love reading their analysis of and then... there's me, bouncing between 20 minor characters and 200 miniscule interactions across the destiny timeline like a scavenger.
Did you know that Tevis Larsen had apparently had an instance of direct contact with Rasputin? Where Red told him he does not care about humanity?
Or that Drifter had at some point asked Felwinter to kill the Warlord Citan that had massacred Eaton when Felwinter had already joined the Iron Lords, and been under the Iron Decree no less? And that Felwinter did it anyway?
Or that Wei Ning's fists could move mountains? That Taeko-3 was a Praxic Warlock and Eriana was one as well?
How Andal Brask died from Tallulah Fairwind slapping his shoulder the moment he got to the City? After he barfed on the watercraft Micah-10, Den-Mother-Of-Ghosts, put him to cross over the Pacific to get to the City? And how she is being hunter by the Ghost killing Guardian Cyrell while she herds Ghosts towards their new charges?
That Shaxx kicked Teben Grey and Shin Malphur (as Zyre Orsa at the time) out of the Crucible with a great many threats and how, where Andal had been almost neutral towards them, Cayde was instead pointedly dismissing the not-yet Shadows, because he and Shaxx were close?
How Pahanin kept saying puns just to annoy Kabr because he thought it funny and the piece of crumpled gum-wrapper he tossed at Praedyth's head before they walked in the Vault is still something Praedyth has.
All these little events are so important to me, and I'm not sure why.
I kinda like how the Xenoblade games have been splitting up the Uzuki-types. Xenogears had Citan Uzuki. Xenosaga had Jin Uzuki. Then it gets interesting.
In Xenoblade 1, Dunban gets the Uzuki design, of course. But Dickson gets a bit more of the Uzuki personality, and has a similar plot twist to Citan.
Xenoblade X very obviously has Lao, in terms of design and character. But Nagi carries over more of the Dunban-esque attacks.
Xenoblade 2 gives Mòrag the design and certain aspects of the character. And then it drops Jin on us, who not only shares a name with Jin Uzuki, but also literally has a Citan deathblow.
And now Xenoblade 3 gives us Ashera. She takes a lot of the Dunban-esque elements way past the extreme, and she gets all the Dunban-esquw arts. She also kinda has a Citan-esque twist except way less extreme, in that she knew more than she let on, but it doesn't have plot relevance. And the other Uzuki-type in Xenoblade 3, I'd argue, is Zeon, who has the whole "mentor to the main protagonist" thing going on, and even has the same Citan deathblow as Jin.
