Tarot Motifs: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'', Celestial Being uses Tarot-based codenames for various things. The main character's Gundam, Exia is also known as The 7 of Swords (which isn't all that symbolic, considering it actually carries seven swords: four beam, two vibrating a [[Swiss Army Weapon]] with a blade the size of a bus) for instance.

** More straight example can be found in [[All There in the Manual|the side stories]] ''Gundam 00P'' and ''Gundam 00F'' feature prototype of Celestial Being's Gundams and each Gundam named after things associate with arcana. ''Gundam Astraea'' named after [[wikipedia:Astraea (mythology)|goddess Astraea]] of The Justice. ''Gundam Sadalsuud'' named after [[wikipedia:Sadalsuud|Sadalsuud]] of constellation Aquarius, associate with The Star. ''Gundam Abulhool'' named after sphinx in The Chariot. And finally, ''Gundam Plutone'' named after Pluto is either Death or Judgement.

* The third part of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' has a group of characters that all have astral-projection based superpowers themed and named after the major arcana. After using up the tarot, later series opted for powers based on pop music songs from the '80s and '90s. Really.
