With my pride on the wind
I’m not sure if it was Mufasa’s death, Nina’s chimera transmutation or Wizardmon’s death that shocked me and impacted me the most.
In any case, Wizardmon cemented himself as one of my favourite characters with a bang. Not only is Wizardmon the kind of late appearance character any series could wish for: charming, relatable, loyal, driven and a serious plot device; but he comes charged with beautiful life lessons.
You can always get through the worst of times if you take a helping hand.
Loyalty is to your friends, first and foremost
Friendship means to be there through thick and thin. Sometimes that means following behind and watching them make a mess of themselves. Sometimes that means taking their heads and forcefully forcing it to face the hard truths they have buried under layers of denial.
Friendship is reciprocal and mutual care and love.
Friendship is love, and you never know how far you’d go for those you love until you’re there. It will probably be very far and very deep.
So here’s a tribute to this wonderful character, his influence and his masterful excecution.
Quoting another saga: “After all these years? Always” And forever.
