I’ve saved the best for the last
Credit to Ma-san’s amazing analysis and Yuka-san’s translation!
Attending the religious university, Ma-san wondered whether Fling Posse’s symbol is the sun cross🜨. So (s)he did some research… and the result was impressive.
The sun cross, or the cross-in-a-circle was interpreted as a solar symbol(although in modern astronomy, it represents the Earth rather than the sun. ☉ is the actual symbol for the sun, since it’s the center of our planetary system) derived from the interpretation of the disc of the Sun as the wheel of the chariot of the Sun god. For this analysis, (s)he interpreted the Sun god to be Apollo, the greek god of Sun, light, oracles, knowledge, healing, diseases, music, poetry, and songs.
Apollo is written as Ἀπόλλων in Attic, Ionic, and Homeric Greek. And guess what? λ is a lowercase lambda, or in Japanese English pronunciation, ramuda! This 11th letter in Greek alphabet indicates the wavelength of any wave in physics, electronics engineering, and mathematics. Meanwhile in 「KNOW YOUR ENEMY SIDE F.P VS M」drama track, Hifumi called Ramuda as Sigma - the 18th Greek alphabet letter whose uppercase letter Σ is most well known as the summation operator.
During TDD era, Ramuda’s (oversized) sweater had an uppercase lambda Λ in lime green. And doesn’t the arrangement of Dice’s belt resembles the lowercase lambda λ?
Back to Apollo: Animals sacred to Apollo included wolves and snakes (referencing Apollo's function as the god of prophecy). We know wolves are officially associated with Matenrou麻天狼, since the team name contains the character for wolf狼, right? And read the last several posts to find out how Jakurai is associated with snakes (in the name of medicine). Medicine and healing are also associated with Apollo, whether through the god himself or mediated through his son Asclepius(which is the point that can be tied back to Jakurai). Yet Apollo is also a god who could bring ill-health and deadly plague with his arrows-
Which the Greeks highlighted by associating Apollo's name with the Greek verb ἀπόλλυμι (apollymi), "to destroy" most often. On the other hand, Plato in Cratylus connects the name with ἀπόλυσις (apolysis), "redemption", ἀπόλουσις (apolousis), "purification", ἁπλοῦν ([h]aploun), "simple", in particular in reference to the Thessalian form of the name, Ἄπλουν, and Ἀειβάλλων (aeiballon), "ever-shooting".
Remember the title of the first drama track released for the new season?
「Me Against The World」
Ramuda just wants to destroy this world to simply purify it, that is all.
