Juubi, Shinju and Kaguya parallel: The Divine Comedy

A while back, I theorized the nine tomoes of Kaguya and the Shinju's eye referenced the nine circles of hell from Dante's Inferno.

Low and behold, we are now in an Inferno dimension in the manga lols.

Now, I believe the three incarnations of the god tree may represent the Divine Comedy as a whole.

The juubi I believe references Inferno, as it's form is an amalgamation of beasts like the sentinels and inhabitants of hell and is the result of man's sin, which hell represents. It also possesses the one eye and portrays a great beast or destroyer like Satan or Lucifer who is confined at the lowest portion of hell. You may recall the gedo mazou was bound in chains and hidden underground by Madara and Akatsuki.

The Shinju I believe represents Mount Purgatory as it is towering just like the mountain, is natural to the material world and possesses seven terraces of suffering and reincarnation. A representation of the seven deadly sins which I believe also parallel the six paths since they represent the six realms of reincarnation in Hinduism and Buddhism. The seventh one being Nagato as stated by Konan.

Kaguya of course represents Paradise where god resides and where humans journey to through inferno and purgatory. And guess what, it possesses nine realms just as Inferno possesses nine rings lols. Each is called a sphere and represents the moon and the planets.

The Divine Comedy has been referenced in other works as well. Most notably as The Warring Triad in Final Fantasy Six. The Warring Triad were the three gods of the world who forged it and created the creatures that all magic comes from, the Espers, aka the summoned monsters of the ff 6 universe, made from the humans and animals caught in between their warring crossfires. They enslaved these espers, but eventually realized their endless fighting began destroying the world, thus they sealed themselves in stone and gave free will to the espers and asked them to look over them so that no one would ever release them and use their power. The main antagonist of ff 6 however, the evil mad mage Kekfa, through his schemes found the statues, rearranged their positions, which led to cataclysmic repercussions on the planet, absorbed their power for himself and ultimately became the god of Magic and ruler of the world.

The Warring Triad take the forms of a goddess named Sofia, a wraith called Fiend and a demon called Doom.

Some often also compare the Divine Comedy and the Warring Triad to the three Goddesses from The Legend of Zelda. Din, Goddess of Power, Nayru, Goddess of Wisdom, and Farore, the Goddess of Courage. Din's power referencing god's power of destruction and creation, which Gandorf's triforce personifies. Nayru's wisdom referencing the experiences of all the seven terraces of purgatory, which Zelda's Triforce personifies (and she ironically being the seventh sage) and Farore referencing Dante's courage to make it through Hell/Inferno, which Link's triforce personifies.

Divine comedy? And you went from Naruto to final fantasy six to Zelda? I feel in the middle of your final fantasy six explanation you derived from what you meant to talk about talking about a trinity that is irrelevant to the shinju or kaguya.

if anything kaguya is a female Lucifer the horns and notice she used to be worshipped as a goddess but soon falls from grace and is called a demon kaguya is far from being pure at least godly pure. Kaguya is about as pure as a Greek god which isn't saying much if you know Greek mythology.

The juubi isn't evil or good it's a force of nature kaguya was the core driving it. Since the juubi has no conscience it could represent creation as it did create mostly everything as kurama put it.

the tree the shinjubis meant to represent yggdrassil look up what yghdrasil is it's Vikingythology just saying. And kaguya is kaguya psychotic female with PTSD and OCD and RET(random emotional tendencies) she probably has post partum psychosis.

at any rate I like your analogies though. While on the final fantasy topic you could say the kaguya was Genova and black zetsu was sephiroth

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

It is referenced in Wild Arms 2, the four henchmen of the antagonist are collectively known as Cocytus, the names of the members are Judecca, Antenora, Caina and Ptolomea.

So Rin would be the Beatrice of Obito? the symbol of divine illumination? then who is his Virgil? Naruto? and Madara being the dark wood of error personified?

Parallels are subjective. All the same, I never said the god or goddess representation was "pure" lol at least not in the way the warring triad goddess, kefka, din, ganondorf or Kaguya are. If you really want to get literal though, all three of them, the original sophia, the original Kaguya and the original din were good. Corrupted Kaguya, Ganondorf and Kefka are the bad incarnations.

I already knew the Shinju referenced the tree of knowledge/world tree. That doesn't mean I can't find other parallels for it.

I believe Kaguya represents the devil or lucifer who fell from grace as well, but that doesn't erase he first portrayal.

I didn't say the juubi was evil, I said it represented sin, disfigurement and destruction. The only real part referencing lucifer being the mazou being chained up.

I think you are looking too much into this...

Also i don't think most of the base knows what Divine Comedy is anyway.

If you actually read my op, I explain what the divine comedy is.

Sorry, but from what I have read, nice work.

Re: Juubi, Shinju and Kaguya parallel: The Divine Comedy

A representation of the seven deadly sins which I believe also parallel the six paths since they represent the six realms of reincarnation in Hinduism and Buddhism. The seventh one being Nagato as stated by Konan.

Kaguya of course represents Paradise where god resides and where humans journey to through inferno and purgatory. And guess what, it possesses nine realms just as Inferno possesses nine rings lols. Each is called a sphere and represents the moon and the planets.

The most important sphere of Hell for us is the first seven sphere .

Astrologer say the planets have a big influence on us and especially seven of them , and those seven are the only visible

Planets for human's naked eye , they are known as the seven sphere of Hell .

You must be registered for see images

First sphere : Moon .

Second sphere : Mercury .

Third : Venus .

Fourth : Sun . ( In astrology the Sun considered as a planet ) .

Fifth : Mars .

Sixth : Jupiter .

And the seventh , the one who is known as the lord of the rings , he has hundreds of names , the most important subject :

SATURN , he is known as the father of time , the grim reaper , ............. etc.

Seven : Saturn .

Those planets are known as the seven wonders , the Elohim , ......... etc .



And because of that we have :

1- Seven days in the week

Saturday ( Saturn day ) .

Sunday ( Sun day ) .

Monday ( Moon day ) .

Tuesday ( Mars day ) .

Friday ( Venus day ) .

Wednesday ( Mercury day ) .

Thursday [ Zeus is in Greek , in Norse myth is known as Thor ( God of thunder ) , Jupiter day ]


2- The main doors for the Chakra are seven : as you can see in this image .

3- The music : Do , Re , Mi , Fa , Sol , La , Si .

4- The light that comes from the Sun is seven color ( from red to purple , as you saw in Chakra image ) .

5- Rainbow also has those seven colors .


6- America flag has seven red lines , and between them there are six white line .

7- Atlants had seven rings , and between each ring there was a river .

Note : Illuminate wanted to make America a new Atlants , but they abandoned that idea .


Because there are seven rings , there will be six paths between them , when you pass all of them , I think you will

Be known as the one who passed through the six path , in another words ( The sage of the six path ) .


As you can see the number seven is very important .

Note : even if you can't see the images , not a problem , because you got the idea .

Oh, I hadn't realized someone had already made a divine comedy parallel. My bad. Although yours seems to encompass mostly paradise. I made a thread a while back theorizing the nine tomoes and their techniques would encompass the nine circles of hell from Inferno.

Good Theory
