Fortunately he didn’t cross that line but had he stayed longer with the gang it would have been inevitable: he called Ash 'boss’ too! Lao instead was the character who refused to kill Eiji after being ordered to because he believed that Eiji was innocent, taking the risk of getting Yut Lung angry. Shorter accepted to betray Ash for his sister’s sake, Blanca would have killed Eiji following his contract, even Eiji said at some point that he would kill to save Ash. Besides, his fear of Jack-o’-lantern, the man who fooled the devil, is fitting too.Īnd so I came to understand Lao. If Ash is a half demon it could explain why all the bad guys are enticed by him and why followers and pursuers are both damned to die as long as they stick by him. The circle is closed and it is from Hebrew. Aslan means 'satan’ which means 'lucifer/first light in the morning’ which means 'daybreak’. Well, the other name of the devil is Satan, right? Look at this:ĪSLAN– SA7AN just change over the first two letters and put upside down the 'L’. You will ask “And then? Lucifer can be synonymous of Daybreak but Aslan is not!” The kanji used by Ash for daybreak is 'akatsuki’ 暁, the same in 暁星 gyousei “morning star/Venus”. The star of the dawn, called Lucifer, is Venus, a planet associated with green stones, yes, jade too. Wait, wait, wait! Everyone in this manga at least once has called Ash a demon 悪魔 'akuma’ except Eiji, but this looks like a real clue. It wasn’t a name in the original text, it was the name of a deity, son of Dawn, in Latin though and since the Bible was mostly read by Christians in its Latin translation then this word was often referred to as the name of the devil. The word I left untranslated is the one that became “eosphoros” in the Greek translation and then “lucifer” in Latin. “How did it come that you have fallen from the sky, הֵ ילֵ ל, son of the dawn? Why have you been knocked out, you who reduced to the ground the nations?”. Where is it said in the Bible then? In Isaiah 14:12 it is said: The devil is traditionally a former angel, familiar with the Bible and is called 'lucifer’, the star of daybreak. When Nico tells this story Ash hasn’t done anything special yet and still his words sound prophetic. Then I recalled a similar figure in this manga: SHE I mean, even flies have names in BF, why is Ash’s mother a nobody? We know that she was an outsider: Even Blanca couldn’t find a thing, isn’t it suspicious? Astonishingly we know nothing about her, neither her name, nor her age nor her appearance (no photos). I took a step back and mused about the person who chose Ash’s name. None of them sounds like 'aslan’, what then? So I looked out the words that in biblical Hebrew can be translated with 'dawn’ and there are a lot: To me a prayer in ancient Hebrew sounds aloud “Hey, it must be the Bible!!”. How could Yoshida-sensei have made three mistakes in a frame? What stands out the most is the part about the prayer. ‘Aslan’ is the Persian word for 'lion’ ( edit: not Persian, but Turkish) and since the imaginary around Ash is linked to felines it would have fitted to his character, then why not?įurthermore Ash is very detailed about the meaning, he gives us three hints: With this meta I’ll put an halt to my BF posts since I think I have made sense of what was bothering me in this manga and now I am satisfied enough to move on.įans have already pointed out that the etymology of Aslan’s name is wrong in the manga, but alike other mistakes this one seemed quite strange to me.
