I finally understood what Battler means!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Magician_%28Tarot_card%29

>The Magician (Tarot card)

>In French, the Magician is called Le Bateleur, "the mountebank" or the "sleight of hand artist", a practitioner of stage magic.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 21 13:41:06 2009 No.3414518 Except the kanji for Battler is pretty much "battle person". (Can 戦人 even actually be read as "Batora"?)

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 21 13:43:06 2009 No.3414526 >>3414518 No, but the Ushiromiyas all have western names, remember? The western name was developed first and the kanji was tacked on afterwards.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 21 13:44:06 2009 No.3414533 >>3414485 >"the mountebank" Why did I read this as mountainbike?

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 21 13:46:06 2009 No.3414542 >>3414526 Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Just that some of the characters' names have kanji that can actually be read as their name (真里亞, etc). I guess in Battler's case they chose kanji that had the same meaning rather than pronunciation.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 21 13:47:06 2009 No.3414544 >>3414518 His name is literally "Man of war".

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 21 13:48:06 2009 No.3414549 >>3414518 Yeah, I mean Maria can't possibly be the Virgin Mary figure because the kanji means true village rank.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 21 13:48:06 2009 No.3414553 >>3414542 Well it's just another thing to make Battler "different" from the Ushiromiya, I guess.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 21 13:49:06 2009 No.3414555 >>3414549 Maria can't possibly be the Virgin Mary figure because she isn't a virgin, that slut.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 21 13:49:06 2009 No.3414557 Actually, his tarot card is The Emperor, not The Magician.

>>3414557

Actually it's The Hanged Man.

The one who sees everything different.

Also gives up

But more importantly The Emperor is GOLDSMITH

I find this image to be highly adequate except for Eva-Beatrice.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 21 14:11:06 2009 No.3414680 >>3414598 You see, Tarot cards are too ambiguous to represent exactly one character. So it's no wonder that a lot of characters represent one card in different aspects.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 21 14:13:06 2009 No.3414689 >>3414674 HELL YEAH YOU ARE THE BEST TAROT EVER Not to say that I associate myself with the Sun arcana, and Himeko is my favorite PPD character.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 21 14:20:06 2009 No.3414713 >>3414705 Wiki is actually good. Find the Fool's Journey if you can. Battler sounds like either the Fool or the Magician to me (to Beatrice's High Priestess)
