![]() ![]() i say hidden circus, but i will include rui in this card set analysis LOL I won't include pretty formatting here yet, but people have noticed a lot of symbolism and parallels and things in the trained variations of the set. i don't want to hear about JP stories, spoilers, anything like that.) (if there is story relevance, please don't tell me about it. out of context, emu's card feels so random next to tsukasa's and nene's. The stark difference in card art styles don't make this any easier either LOL. I do wonder if there's some kind of comparison to be made between the two birds - a majestic legendary phoenix, contrasted against the everyday farm duck. poor tsukasa is watching the phoenix he wants to become, but far away from the spotlight he wants to be under. Or, is the sky a metaphor for the stage? at the edge of the stage, no matter what edge you're on, you're not under the centre spotlight where everyone can see you. I don't think this is the intended interpretation, but i thought the idea was interesting enough to mention.įunnily enough, you could say the sun is what is at the sky's edge, at sunrise and sunset. skies are endless, so to imply that there is an edge of the sky, as if the sky has an end, makes me feel like something's wrong. Personally, when i hear the "edge of the sky", it makes me feel an impending doom. ![]() tsukasa is watching and looking towards stardom and glory, and the star actor in this story, seems to represent that for him. I'm imagining the phoenix is the star actor tsukasa looked up to so much. and considering that skies are endless, what is the edge of the sky?.The title of this event raises a lot of questions for me: I also just remembered that if anything, emu should probably be the phoenix - she's the one with "phoenix" as her surname LOL perhaps, tsukasa could be the phoenix of phoenix wonderland, trailblazing the path forward. If i keep stretching this symbolism further, Wonder Magical Showtime! considered tsukasa as the leader for all of wonderland showtimes's, and consequently, phoenix wonderland's efforts to this rebirth. early wxs stories depicted the wonderland on the brink of despair, before wxs themselves were able to find new beginnings and new footing for the park the park has experienced its own rebirth, like that of a phoenix. While writing this, i only just remembered that the park is literally called phoenix wonderland. Personally, i associate tsukasa with the sun as well - he has a bright, bombastic personality, he calls himself a star, and his hair colour fits the role (lol). if your sight gets blurry while you cry, surely tsukasa is the "phoenix" in this card's title?Įven if his tears dampen his fire, even to the point of ashes, as per the phoenix, tsukasa will rise up again and be reborn from the ashes. I thought it interesting that tsukasa's card is named after the phoenix. " i originally thought tsukasa was meant to be the so-called "phoenix" in this card name, but maybe the phoenix is really the star actor that tsukasa's looking up to (more thoughts in the next subheading)." ―i'll leave the original thoughts i had below (partly bc i can't be bothered to fix it) I'm more familiar with the western stories of the phoenix and will interpret things through that lens, but i am aware that the devs are probably considering the asian phoenix instead. Since egypt, the stories of the phoenix have been retold and spread through ancient greece, ancient rome, and features as well in christianity, judaism, islam.Ĭhinese (鳳凰 fenghuang) and japanese mythology also include a phoenix, though its mythologies formed separately from egypt. The earliest mythologies of the phoenix traces back to ancient egypt, to which the phoenix was also associated with the sun. it is reduced into ashes, but soon, is born again from those very ashes this i presume, is where the saying 'rise/reborn from the ashes' originates.Īs a result, the phoenix is associated and symbolic of renewal, rebirth and immortality. depictions and stories vary, but the most famous is that the phoenix lives for a few hundred years, and at its death, it bursts into flames. 1.2 towards the phoenix at the sky's edgeĪ mythological bird with red and yellow feathers. ![]()
