togashi going full throttle with the tserriednich antichrist allegations is throwing more fuel on the beyond-baby fire; after all, netero also has veryyy strong religious imagery tied to him--albeit, buddhist rather than biblical. in netero's case he became a warped, almost perverse facsimile of his projected image (no amount of buddha handshakes can justify setting off a nuke, lol). so whereas isaac netero is the anti-buddha, tserriednich takes on the mantle of the antichrist. only, where netero seems to make a choice, to give in to malice for the supposed sake of the "greater good," tserriednich exercises evil without thought, without purpose. he has no fall from grace--there is no where to fall if you're already in hell.
beyond, meanwhile, is somewhere in between; aesthetically he's firmly stuck in the former, taking more after his father, but thematically there's an element of abrahamic mythos to his deeds. king solomon and his 700 wives. abraham and his sacrificial lamb of a son. noah's arc. so sure, why not. let's add the unholy trinity to the mix
the transition of power, the transcendence of humanity, the splitting of one's soul. godhood is dehumanization, self-inflicted.
