I had no idea who that was so I looked her up. I can definitely see parallels between the two.

So there is speculation that he may be based on a Merovingian king, but there's no consensus. I think that he's probably loosely based on some king or warrior but there's no way to definitively say. Ya know, unless we find a burial somewhere that says " Here lies Siegfried"

@@EveryPersonaExplained If we actually find that I would be happy, I really love the tale of Sigurd and especially the slaying of Fafnir. In many ways it reminds me a lot of Beowulf (I love Beowulf personally. Do you have some sources I could use for my personal research about this (Again hoping I'm not being too annoying asking these many questions)?

@@mart3151 Don't worry, your curiosity isn't annoying. The sources I used are in the description of the video. Unfortunately, they're just the stories. It sounds like what you're looking for is a scholarly analysis. I'd have a look on JSTOR and see if you can find an analysis on it.

@@EveryPersonaExplained Thank you so much man! I'm going to JSTOR to see for myself then. Have a good one, and thanks for answering every doubt I have. :)

As promised :)

Not next, already have a request lined up for the next one, but I probably should do Fafnir soon as a companion video.

This is very true. I don't know why I didn't include that fact. Honestly I spent most of the making of this video thinking to myself "How do I explain her without just describing her like OSP Red did in her Trojan War video?"

Thank you! It is all over the place, but trying to simplify the multiple story branches and versions into one video would be a feat. Honestly, to properly explain it would take a very long video. And as much as I would love to do something like that, I don't have time for it. Maybe once I'm out of school.

Works about as well as anything else I found.

Yeah, it's wild

It certainly is one of the communities of all time

I must've overlooked both of those, how embarrassing. Thank you for sharing!

No problem i thought it was funny how both of those were you know

@@yves1594 Yeah, not very subtle are they?

@@EveryPersonaExplainedyes 😂

You have good taste

Akechis loki or loki loki?

@@yves1594 regular Loki I don't like the other one.

@@madnesdoes interesting i dont like regular loki but i do really like akechis

Thank you for the compliment! I do already have a request I'm working on, but I'll do Sukuna-Hikona after that one.

A certified Mara classic

I didn't know that, thank you for sharing! After doing the Alice, video that makes sense. I'll have to start looking into their SMT designs going forward. Also "Kaneko was feeling horny" makes some designs make sense

Thank you for the feedback! Audio balancing is tricky to get right, so input like that is valuable.

@@EveryPersonaExplained i feel you, i used to struggle a LOT with it when producing music or making YT videos when i was still in middle school. looking forward to more uploads!

It was destiny!

Can do. Hadn't decided who to do next, so Siegfried it is!

Yep, it's a rule

Thank you very much! That's a good question. I'm very much not a subject matter expert, but I think the Hecatoncheries are pretty old. I didn't talk about it in the video, but there is a book about ancient Greek religion from 1896 called "The Cults of the Greek states" and there's a footnote in it talking about how Briareus-Aegaeon may be an old title for Poseidon. I found a copy on the Internet Archive, the footnote in on page 26. Poseidon is really old, older than ancient Greece, so i can believe they were originally old titles for him. I also think it's possible that they were the subjects of worship in a minor cult that got co-opted into the religion at large; or were just a different ocean god/set of gods whose popularity was less than that of Poseidon so they got side lined. Honestly I often find myself trying to reverse engineer mythological stories and characters and I could go on on this FOR A WHILE, but like I said I'm not an expert in the history Hellenic religion so it's just conjecture. That was a really good question, thank you for asking! :)

@@EveryPersonaExplained Thank you so much for taking your time to answer me. I always love anthropology and learning new things, and your videos are helping me a lot in that regard. About that book, I'll investigate it more in the future, it sounds really interesting. Anyway you got a new subscriber. Keep up the Axiom's work. ;)

Of course, I try and answer every question or comment I get. Thank you for subscribing!

How very in character

That's not too surprising. There's a lot of Japanese media that references Benkei. The first time I heard about him was actually Detective Conan believe it or not

I've definitely gained new appreciation for her since doing this video

@@EveryPersonaExplained Definitely! Glad to see someone appreciating that little diabolical killing machine just as I do 🫡

The meter is broken at this point

An interesting idea. I'll have to explore that in the next treasure demon video

Thank you so much! I have no plans to change how the videos are structured. I sat on this idea for a long while, so I figured out how I wanted the videos to look. The only changes would be an improvement in quality as I get better at editing and speaking.

You just unlocked some deep memories. Haven't seen that in AGES

I see, I didn't know that about the small version. Thank you for sharing!

I know! If only her head could've stayed connected to her body.

The entry lines go hard don't they?

Happy to be of service

I mean, children are the most terrifying things

Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it! 😊

I remember liking that movie. I thought his origin in it might've been inspired by some myth, but I couldn't find anything.

Right? He probably would've been better off if he had a fiddle honestly.

Right? Blew me away

With how little characterization he has, it made it easy for Atlas to do just that. And they chose a solid design for him.

The anime version? Yeah I see it. Although hearing Alice laugh and hearing Sabrina laugh would cause two VERY different reactions.

Yo! I did NOT make that connection! Makes total sense with Chie. Thank you for sharing 🙏

This is true, with how long it takes to get her, being really strong is a good thing .

Thanks friend! I was confused when I first saw her too.

Can do

@@EveryPersonaExplained thanks bro, he ho for you XD,

@@RAGNATHEBLOOEDGE He Ho to you too brother, He Ho

@@EveryPersonaExplained yeah you know the secret words XD,
