Evil Counterpart/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

* Mao is another Evil Counterpart to Lelouch. He's not only the same age as Lelouch (even though he looks older than 17), but he also represents [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity|what would happen if Lelouch lets his geass drive him mad]].

* In the manga, Father is Hohenheim's Evil Counterpart. He's also even [[Cloudcuckoolander|weirder than him]]. This means that in both the anime and manga version, the Elric brothers eventually have to fight the [[Doppelganger]] of one of their parents. Toward the end of the manga, Father becomes more like an evil counterpart to {{spoiler|Ed, as his bishonen "God" form looks like young Hohenheim/Ed except with Father's cruel eyes, and Father's arrogance and obsession with gaining knowledge at all costs is a dark reflection of Ed's tendency toward [[Pride]].}}

* Wrath is an Evil Counterpart of Ling. Both cover [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]s and impressive swordsmanship with a front of [[Obfuscating Stupidity]], and Ling's actual [[Papa Wolf]] attitude toward his friends and subjects is mirrored in Wrath's ''pretensions'' to being a [[Father to His Men]]- in reality, he really couldn't give a damn about his subjects. Also, just as Wrath is a human-turned hommunculus, Ling gets turned into the second Greed. However, while Wrath lost his human identity in his transformation, Ling manages to maintain his consciousness and serves as [[The Conscience]] to Greed. Wrath started life as the 12th candidate for Fuhrer and Ling is the 12th son of the Emperor.
