Trickster imagery in Geats

Post by takenoko »

So I can't get over the two main characters in Geats being the two trickster animals in Japanese folklore, a fox and a tanuki

At the end of the 99% Invisible about the Jackelope ( https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/ ... jackalope/ ), they talk about tricksters from mythology. How they're often clever and frequently will challenge social convention and the ruling order. Themes that might play in later on when we learn more about how the Desire Grand Prix works

I'm expecting Keiwa and Ace to end up butting heads eventually, since, according to a bunch of anime I've seen over the years, kitsune and tanuki youkai are always at odds with each other.
