[Theory] A character Kaguya was based upon.

[Nattana]

Okay, so first things first, these will be my observations only. Do not start any flame was or anything like that. Thank you :*.

So, moving on to the most important things in this thread, I'd like to present to you a character Kaguya might be based upon. According to what I've seen so far, that character is... Queen Metaria from Sailor Moon!

Don't believe me? Let's take a look at all the similarities. Ofc it won't be 100% the same, since both plots are different, but please take your time.

1. Both are supernatural characters. Both traveled through space and both led to devastating things due to some greater power inhabiting them.

A. Metaria was an incarnation of Chaos itself.

Okay folks, that's all. Hope you enjoyed and liked it. Actually, I was pretty surprised at first I could find so many similarities between them. Eventually, I may be exaggerating a little bit, but that's my opinion. And I want to know yours, so please do comment ​

I think Madara aint over yet, but Kaguya wont just be a character to battle she will be like, i dunno, they will need to absorb her chakra or something weird.

 

[Gerkak]

Interesting. I can see the similarities.

 

[Nattana]

Interesting. I can see the similarities.

Thank you

 

[dark legion]

that's nice .. well noticed

 

[OWanime]

Yeah the similarities are definitely there, no denying that xd I feel as though kaguya should take over madara's body so that his dream can't come true

 

[God Of Destruction]

Good work nice theory.

 

[amirullord]

[Nattana]

Thanks :3

Well, she already has started doing it. I guess next chapter is gonna be Kaguya introduction as a real character and not just a legend.

 

[Solog0d]

and the kishi bash starts!

 

[chuloe]

I thought it was known kishi gets ideas from all over. Religion,movies,other manga, etc.

 

[Hipster Madara]

Maybe.
Some of those are common traits in villains though, so they don't hold much ground.

I respect your opinion. It's obvious that many villains share same traits, but in this particular case, I believe Kishi might've (even is loosely only) based Kaguya on Metaria.

I personally disagree. I would think that it is more that kaguya and metaria, are so similar because they are based on similar mythology.

So basically kaguya isnt based on metaria, but rather both kaguya and metaria, are based on some other thing.

I just dont see kishi watching sailor moon.(the only reason I recognize it, is because when I was young, my sisters watched sailor moon all the time. And we did not have multiple tvs.)


I admit fully that I do not have any evidence to support my opinion.

Anyways great job op. They are certainly very similar.

Well, Sailor Moon was very popular in Japan AND what's interesting - it's getting its revival in 2 months after it had been announced like 2 years ago. I don't want to jump into conclusiI wons, but Kaguya is also a kinda new character. I wouldn't be surprised if Kishi really 'borrowed' some features from Metaria.

But you may be right as well with both Metaria and Kaguya being based on something different, coming from legends or a mythology.

I'm really happy when I see someone is talking about similarities as I do , good thread , good similarities .

Nice find, but I already made a Kaguya parallel compilation thread.

Pretty solid analysis. I remember watching sailor moon when I was in elementary school but I can't remember much of it, I certainly don't remember Metaria, I should reread/rewatch it

Actually, it's a realy good series Anime 'fillers' may be boring a little bit if you're looking for action only, but when it gets serious, it's very intense.

Also, like I said before, SM revival is coming in 2 months, make sure to stick around and watch it if you feel nostalgic for real
