It was really well done I thought. Especially the hidden context. It didn't dawn on me until his worshippers pronounced his name as Yu-Ha-Wa-Ha. Those characters are important, since it's actually the tetragrammation (no constants) YHWH, or Yahweh. The baby's birth in that state was miraculous, he performed miracles (curing the blind, deaf, lame, etc.), and he gained power from people taking him into their body. Basically, Kubo is implying that Ychwach is a perversion of Jesus Christ. The parallel only becomes more obvious when you look at how he rose from the dead, how his face is drawn, and the fact that his followers have a cross as their emblem. Pretty crazy stuff...it blew me away when I realized it. XD |
I guess I can see where you're coming from :P
