Put simply: TOG is like the story of the Bible but in reverse/flipped. When I first read TOG, that’s the first thing I thought of.

This thread is just similarities/parallels that I have found. This is for fun once again, please be nice

1. SIU has stated this. Greek mythology can most definitely play a role in this too, but I’m not familiar with mythology sadly.

So I looked into my theology notes and when I first read TOG I was like “this sounds really familiar” when I got to the part about the 12 great warriors.

1. In TOG, out of the twelve warriors, only ten families/warriors remained (V and Arlene were the forgotten warriors)

2. But in the Bible, there were twelve tribes of Israel. But of the twelve,

Ten disappeared and only two tribes remained.

The ten tribes are

commonly known as “the ten lost tribes” but this leads some to question what really happened and what was the number of tribes.

So basically, their stories are flipped but they’re the same.

SIU most definitely got his inspo from Greek mythology and the Bible which is -really- interesting because i feel like he’s tying in both into TOG

Also fun facts:

The 12 tribes in the Bible are descendants of 12 siblings (though the Bible says brothers)
Their father’s name is Jacob; God later changes his name to Israel (kind of like how God changed Abram’s name to Abraham.)

Jacob (Israel) had two wives.

Their names were Leah and Rachel.

(BUT!!! Jacob was tricked into marrying Leah. He didn’t love her, he loved Rachel.)

SIU said that he got Rachel’s name from the Bible but my biggest question is -why.-

Why would he choose Rachel’s name as Rachel when the Bible has -so many- female names in it? There has to be some importance to her name??? Idk

Again yes this is messy but this has been on my mind for a while already pls be nice, I’m not good when it comes to things like this

Continuing +

ANOTHER THING I FOUND:

King Herod ordered all first borns to be killed bc he was trying to kill off Jesus when he was born. Why? Because he was scared of the messiah. BUT, Joseph and Mary already fled to Bethlehem.

Sound a little familiar?

So basically (if you’re a little confused, I promise it’s okay)

king herod > jahad
jesus > bam
joseph and mary > v and arlene

Now what happened in TOG compared to the Bible:

Jahad killed Bam himself.

Bam came back to life.

Is this his ‘second coming’ ?????

(This theory would be too long to add to this thread so I’ll talk about this later)

Also...

Christians tend to celebrate Christmas on the 25th day of that month.

“The night Jesus was born”

But ofc we don’t really know when Jesus was born.

...So why is Bam’s name called the 25th night? Why don’t we actually know Bam’s birthday?

So basically Bam is Jesus. This could explain all the suffering he’s having to go through as well.

TOG is the story of the Bible but with a twist

don’t ask me about the princesses yet bc I have no idea KAKSKSKDKDKJD

I have no idea where SIU is planning to go with that arc if we get it, but if we ever do I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to dive deeper into theories and things like that.

I’ll take a look into mythology bc I’m not getting anything from +

my theology notes or research itself.

So let’s talk about Enryu now, because he plays a pretty big role imo. +

So what do we know about Enryu?

1. Enryu is the outside God’s messenger.
2. Enryu favored Arlene.
3. When Enryu appeared on the floor of death, he told the people there that if they continued to follow the “false king” (Jahad), he’d kill them.

4. After he avenged Arlene, he left and wasn’t seen after that.
.
.
This leads to:

1. Is Enryu the archangel Gabriel in theory?

Why and how:

1. Gabriel wasn’t mentioned again after he had visited Mary, telling her that she was going to have Jesus
2. Gabriel is outside God’s messenger
3. There’s this?? It seems that Enryu favors Bam (the thorn he left behind. This is important.)

4. I don’t believe Gabriel was mentioned in the Bible after he talked to Mary about Jesus...like he wasn’t seen or heard of again.
5. After Enryu left the floor, he became inactive.

Also, remember that Jesus is known to have worn a crown of thorns on his head as a form of mockery while Bam has a HUGE thorn as a weapon to kill Jahad.

So if we compare Bam to Jesus, then okay, what about the apostles?

So I freaked out earlier because counting Khun, Rak, Shibisu, Isu, and Endorsi, those are five close friends of Bam.

Team S&S had 7 people.

In total that’s 12.

BUT! Bam wasn’t that close with them compared to the main 5. So I’m still having trouble trying to sort this out.

No, Khun is not going to betray Bam. He’s not Judas. Honestly I thought maybe Rachel was Judas...but I’m honestly not sure. If you’re familiar with this stuff, I’d love to hear what you think. :-)

But, if we do compare those 12 to the apostles, and IF Rachel isn’t considered to be “Judas”, then who in theory would betray Bam?

I’m thinking maybe Wangnan, but again, we don’t know where he’s at right now. So this is still up in the air for me.
