LIVE A LIVE (1994) - Twilight of Edo Japan key art by Gosho Aoyama

I was reading the original Japanese translation for the statue room monologue, translated to English. As well as the English remake. And I decided to try combining them all into one while adding Streibough and each sin that each Odio incarnation represents.

From the ancient times… The beast of GLUTTONY!

Until the distant future… PRIDEFUL maddened slave of men!

In eras of peace… Plotting and crafting their prophet false of SLOTH!

And eras of war! They worship GREEDY lords ambitious, cruel!

In all places! Even the windswept wastes shall yield WRATHFUL and monstrous men at arms!

And all times! To even the highest peaks hiding VAIN villains murderous!

The impetus of all conflict! For in LUST for blood, violence shall ever be your won't!

For all of existence, it is the very nature of humankind! To crave that which you want to the point that in ENVY, you shall destroy it all to seize your coveted prize!

My hate is yours, and yours is mine. To share a history of DESPAIR, so long as men yet live!

Behold the eternal sentiment that will not die so long as there are humans alive to perpetuate it…

Now sing our name! Embrace us!

It is HATRED…

It is, ODIO!!

Last of the pride month character icons! Some which were requests, some for funsies! :)

I found a comment by shadejakva9367 on this video perfectly describing each sin of Odio and his many incarnations perfectly, and wanted to share records so that they're preserved online. Hope he doesn't mind me sharing all these.

I think all the incarnations embody them all in a way:

ODO: Gluttony: Ravenously consumes and demands regular food tributes lest it consume Zaki's tribe and possibly others.

Odi-Wan Lee: Vanity: Boasts of his strength and lives in great splendor and luxury in a grand palace, but relies on dirty tricks and his followers to give himself rather then his own power till cornered.

Ode Iou: Greed: He sought complete control over all of Japan, at the cost of others including his daughter and his own humanity through his pact with the yokai.

O. Dio: Wrath: Born from the rage of the angry spirts of the slaughtered 7th Cavalry, he'll lay waste to an entire town of innocents.

Odie O'Bright: Lust: He is a bloodthirsty, sadistic thug gets a massive kick out of having power over his opponents and making them suffer as much as possible before he kills them.

Odeo: Sloth: Remains dormant and has its followers do all the work for it till it is given power that is stolen from others to function as a threat.

OD-10: Pride: Sees itself as perfect and flawless in logic, to the point it deems itself being allowed to decide the fates of those in its care and has no tolerance for anyone who defies its approach.

Medieval Chapter Villain (Streibough/Odio-S): Envy: (like THIS needs any explanation!)
