#theme naming

And now I'm wondering about the idea of a kaiju setting where they just went full Jojo and started naming kaiju after various songs.

While Hyde’s name doesn’t really have any specific theme to it, his name does have some correlation to what exactly In-Births and Voids are, though it’s most likely coincidence. In Hilda’s Chronicle Mode story (Road To The Under Night...), Kuon brings up The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll And Mr Hyde and how it ties in with EXS and In-Births. To put it rather simple terms, everyone on Earth has the powers of EXS dormant within them, and only the bite of a Void can awaken that EXS. Think of it as a balloon; to release the air, you need to open up a certain area to let it escape, that area of escape for us would be the bite wound left by a Void, which releases the EXS.

Going back to the comparison, a balloon needs to have a certain amount of air inside to keep it stable, removing too much would cause it to deflate. Let’s say whatever air that is removed is replaced by Helium and gives the balloon the ability to “fly”; much like that, the EXS within us is replaced with something else entirely, which is what gives us our In-Birth abilities.

As you may know, Magus' three henchmen were named Vinnegar, Soysaw, and Mayonnay in the Japanese version of Chrono Trigger, obvious references to vinegar, soy sauce, and mayonnaise.

These were changed to Musical/Shout-Out Theme Naming in the English version. Specifically, they became Ozzie, Slash, and Flea, respectively. These are obvious references to Ozzy Osbourne (a vocalist), Slash (a guitarist), and Flea (a bassist).

So, we need a drummer.

Conveniently enough, we have a fourth character who fits the sauce theme in the Japanese version - Tata, who was called Tarta in Japan, after tartar sauce.

(Not actually clear where they stood on world conquest, other than avoiding getting involved out of a premonition they were going to need to flee the country. They did go on to establish sizeable colonies, that is Gondor and Arnor, since even as refugees they were in better military shape than areas still recovering from invasions by Sauron and Ar-Pharazon sequentially.)

But yeah Ar-Pharazon made the Elendili literally illegal. Interacting with Elves or speaking Elvish had been illegal for nine years when Elendil was born, and Amandil went and called him elf-friend.
