In Chapter 131, ‘Naagaraji’ ナァガラジ could be a reference to the Hindu mythology Nāgarāja “King of the nāga” (nāga meaning snakes) and also known in Japanese and Chinese mythology as one of the 8 great dragon kings. Among the Nāgarāja there is Vasuki, a snakegod in Indian mythology who was converted into a dragon king in Buddhism, then renamed “Washu-kichi”
[…]
和修吉(washukitsu) is just the assigned kanji for how Vasuki is pronounced in Japanese. Washuu only uses the first two kanji as a family name, and then whoever the successors are adds the last kanji from Vasuki to their given name. (ex: Furuta Nimura -> Washuu Kichimura)
‘Dragon’ 竜 is a Japanese shinjitai simplified from 龍 which figuratively means “sovereignty”, “king”, “chief”, and “hero”. The kanji 龍 is also used in the word 龍王 ”Nāgaraja; snake king; dragon king", a notable example of dragon and snake legends from Buddhist and Hindu mythology.
As Ishida introduced ‘Dragon’ 竜 in Chapter 128, he later on then introduced The ‘Naagaraji’ ナァガラジ in Chapter 131, both correlated with each other and with the word “king”.
Remember, V was first created to fight against the second OEG of the timeline, before Eto:
So I really think “V” is actually meant to be “Vasuki”.
I hate everything: guys please read this post. It’s partially what I quoted above, but it has the full myth about nagas (OEGs), Vasuki and Garuda explained, which is basically the current Dragon situation between V, Furuta and Rize. It even finally explains why Furuta “jokingly” called himself a bird in ch138.
Also…
Now that we know about “Vasuki” being subtitled “victory”, I still am not sure what to make of Donato being the “king’s crown” exactly, except for this part with the almost similar clown masks…
but I’d bet you anything that it has to do with the One Eyed Washuu since he’s also a part of the myth (seriously go read the explanation I linked to) because he was driven underground…
Uta is still the most likely suspect btw (especially since he’s also associated with the cross pattern, like Donato, and a link between them makes sense since Donato is “Crown”, the “king’s crown”).
We’re still missing on who the second OEG of the timeline is/was though (Noro? Itori?).
Spooky-chan is going to roast me again for the public conspiracy theory, but
Maybe that’s why Donato was called that?
Ahhhh, I really hope that Uta’s still non-meaningful tattoos aren’t supposed to represent his pals (without mentioning the one(s) he possibly has on his back) otherwise I… don’t know what I’m going to do. ;_;
