"A light's shining on my heart
A memory of forgotten love
Rays burning through the clouds
Down from the sky
Up above!"
"I get it. Now I understand. Our magic lies in our hearts. Our hearts are creating the magic for us."- Shu, Blue Dragon (Xbox 360), 2006/7

Corporeal Shadows as Daemons
If you are picking Daemons for Blue Dragon characters the most obvious thing might be to pick the animal already associated with the characters. Their Shadows. There multiple reasons I don't think this is the best approach it's still fun to do.
Shu - Dragon
The Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodoensis) is the largest lizard alive around 2.3m long and 70kg.
Jiro - Minotaur
The Asian Water Buffalo (Bubalus arnee) a massive, dark bovine with impressive horns that seems like a good match to Minotaur's Corporeal form.
Kluke - Phoenix
Major Mitchell's cockatoo (Lophochroa leadbeateri) is a beautiful bird that bears a mildly resembles to Phoenix's Corporeal form.
Marumaro - Saber-Tooth
The Tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest living cat, looks fairly similar to his Shadow's Corporeal form and even shares part of the name.
Zola - Killer Bat
The Spectral Bat (Vampyrum spectrum) is the largest carnivorous bat with a wing span of 70-100cm and a dangerous bite force.
Suggestions are welcome if you know an animal you think more closely resembles a character's Corporeal Shadow then the ones I have listed here.
I'm ngl,the interaction between Jiro and Szabo in the scene before this is actually pretty good imo,whilst I do prefer the game version of Blue dragon,tbf the anime did have it's moments,especially in season 2 since that one is more complex than the first season and felt like it was trying to do it's own thing more than season one,which felt a lil basic at times (still a good season tho). I'm sorry but what the fuck is the deal with giving the demon kings new names in the anime? Names that suck to. The original names sounded badass and memorable,but the anime versions of the demon kings now have forgettable,cheesy names π
Their original game names vs their anime names:
Silent Ku is now called Double blaster Ku (basic AF name imo)
Turbulent Mai is now called Knife armed Mai (a very stupid sounding name,and this my favourite demon king to,my fave got done dirty fr π)
Heat-wave Sai is now called Rocket bomber sai (he doesn't even have rockets wtf? π)
Raging Kesu is now called Flashing bladed Kesu (literally makes no sense to me)

Corporeal Attacks and Force Alignment
I saw a post about how the Darkside is cold which led me to think about Shadow-Wielders' Corporeal Attacks. Corporeal Attacks are one of the few things about the Party's Shadows that are absolutely canon barring debate on if they happen the way they appear or if they are just a game mechanic. So what if you sorted the Party's Force-Alignment by how cold their Corporeal Attack is?
The Corporeal Attack of Kluke's Phoenix is burning hot. She's got flames and magma and raw, pure heat. If you judging the Darkside by the presence of cold, then Kluke's the furthest from it.
The Corporeal Attack of Shu's Dragon is more forceful but still hot. A little bit of clouds and dust but the outright attacking part is heat and kinetic force, resulting in some lava.
The Corporeal Attack of Marumaro's Saber-Tooth is the most physical. Claw swipes, the wind and the earth ending with minor golden coloured lightning calling.
The Corporeal Attack of Jiro's Minotaur is electric. Some smashing the ground into spikes but mostly he calls on lightning, bright, blue-white strikes.
The Corporeal Attack of Zola's Killer-Bat is chilling and electric. She's got the icy landscape and lonely wind and balls of white lightning to rain down. So if cold is the Darkside, then Zola is touching it but she's not immersed in it.
If Darksiders are cold then Kluke is untouchable by the Darkside and Shu's pretty far away from it too. Marumaro and Jiro don't really have temperature as part of their Corporeal Attacks, yes they have lightning which is hot but lightning is also associated with the Darkside, so I'm going to go with their force alignment being fairly neutral. Meanwhile Zola is brushing against the Darkside but hasn't given into it which makes sense because she's the most morally ambiguous member of the party but still on their side at the end of the day.
Blue Dragon Party Members Light to Dark Force Alignment as determined by their Corporeal Attacks on a temperature scale of Hot to Cold. Ridiculous idea, but some times you get ridiculous ideas and decide to just run with them.
