Why a Golden Honmoon? A Theory
Why do the hunters want to turn the honmoon gold? Here's a quick idea that landed in my brain after percolating on the colours post.
As we've already established, Pink is the colour of corruption and weakness in the Honmoon. It's the colour of its tears, of Gwi Ma, and of activated patterns. Also the main colour of the Saja Boys
Meanwhile, pure blue is the colour of souls, when being used, taken or given
It's also the colour of the original honmoon and the girls' weapons at their peak
Incidentally, Rumi, who is half human half demon, is all about that purple!
Anyway... the key point is that the blue honmoon needs to be maintained, and can develop what the girls call "weak spots" in that scene:
So they think the missing colour - gold - is the way to go. They've been told so.
You see, the OG hunters have 3 colours in their weapons. Gold, blue and pink.
While the girls weapons themselves, as far as I could see, only do blue to pink
BUT the Honmoon itself, the trails left behind by the weapons... It's tricolor, and it is the entire film!
You can spot gold, pink and blue in them!
So I guess over time the belief solidified - blue is prone to pink weaknesses, gold must be the goal! And Gwi Ma seeing generations of hunters chase that gold, believed it too.
Yet in the end the Honmoon they craft is multicolour and shimmering!
It has pink, blue and gold! And maybe that means the weak spots are always moving and shifting and not fixed in a spot. Maybe this honmoon will also need maintenance, maybe it's perfect as is. But it has the same colours in it as the original hunters' weapons, and the colours present in the ghosts of the Huntrix weapons too.
