== Benkei == | |||
There are some parallels between this episode and the famous Japanese story/folklore of Benkei. | |||
Benkei was a big warrior, usually depicted with a naginata (a type of big lance), that challenged samurai on duels to win their swords. | |||
Until he dueled against Minamoto no Yoshitsune (a smaller warrior) on a bridge and was defeated, later becoming Yoshitsune's loyal retainer. | |||
After fighting many battles together, they were encircled in a castle. Yoshitsune went into the castle to commit seppuku and Benkei stood guard at the bridge in front of the gate to protect Yoshitsune during the ritual. The soldiers were afraid of coming near Benkei and engaging in combat, so they showered him with arrows. A famous passage from this story tells Benkei died standing upright. | |||
So, in this context, Ash's Galarian Farfetch'd would be Benkei (strong, with big weapon, challenging for duels on a bridge and being defeated standing upright), and Goh's Kantonian Farfetch'd/Ash's Riolu would be Minamoto no Yoshitsune ("sword fight" with a lighter weapon/winning the duel).--[[User:KurowaSan|KurowaSan]] ([[User talk:KurowaSan|talk]]) 17:24, 6 July 2020 (UTC) | |||
