#she might appreciate Gil because Oswald likes him

[emily-nightray]

How would Lacie feel about Gilbert and Vincent? I keep thinking she would feel neutral because they've done nothing wrong but she's not really interested in them. Maybe a bit positive because Oswald and Jack like them.

Similarities between Hakumaitou (K) and the Golden trio (Pandora Hearts)

As a great fan of Hakumaitou, the Silver clan of K project, I couldn’t not notice the similarities between this trio and the main characters of Pandora Hearts : Oz, Gil and Alice. When I thought about it, a ton of common points came clear between those two trio ! So I had to put it in a list XD Bear with me, it was so fun to do

(I know there was a discourse about  Shiro being the protagonist are not… Let’s assume it is)

  1) A trio of friends

 - Those trio are made up of 2 guys and 1 girl : the hero, his faithful servant, and a dear friend - The hero is an important person in society : (Shiro = king / Oz = duke), and doesn’t know how to fight (but Oz regains his powers little by little …) - He has a faithful servant who will give his life for him, who knows how to fight and who possesses a weapon ( Kuroh = katana / Gil = gun);

- And a friend who has great powers in spite of herself ( Alice = chain / Neko = strain)

  2) The protagonists : Oz and Shiro

 - the hero is a cheerful, dynamic, friendly but lonely young boy, who conceals a deep sadness / confusion under a charming but false smile… - oz and shiro seek their identity : especially because they are victims of amnesia concerning their past and their origin, and live in a lie without knowing it (Oz = is in reality a stuffed rabbit, a chain -> but he believes to be a Vessalius heir, future duke / Shiro = has an original body, is the Silver King, Adolf k Weismann -> but he believes to be Isana Yashiro, a simple student)

 -The hero, supposed to be young, is in fact much older than one might think! (Shiro = must be ~90 / Oz = lives for more than a century !) - the soul of the hero inhabits the body of someone else (Shiro = is in Hieda Tooru’s body / Oz = is in Jack’s body)

 - They are both immortal (Shiro = because of his powers as the Silver King / Oz = because of the cycles of growing up as an adult and grow young again ability of Jack’s body)

  3) The right hand : Kuroh and Gilbert

- they are both a tall, dark, cold man in appearance, who gets easily angry and is fun to tease ! They hide a big heart and a great kindness. - they both had a master before the protagonist (Gil = Oswald / Kuroh = Ichigen-sama) - they are very loyal to their current master / king, and are ready for all sacrifices for their sake

 - being useful is very important for them, and they base their usefulness on the ability to fight and protect, but also in dealing with the daily life desires of their master (Kuroh = is the one feeding his family, just as a good waifu would xD / Gil = as a servant, this is his job to fulfil his master’s desires, right ?) - Gil and Kuroh are skilled in cooking and know how to take care of household tasks. Plus, I wonder if they are generally “scared” of women ? (Kuroh = we know well how he reacts to Neko’s naked body ! xD / Gil = was surrounded by girls in Lutwidge Academy and he didn’t like it !)

- They also have a nickname some people know (Gilbert = Raven / Kuroh = Black Dog )

  4) The girls : Alice and Neko

 - They are young girls with long hair, playful, free… They are a little simple-minded, always playful, cheerful and support the protagonist by their frank words. They seem to live their own way, detached from all rules. - Neko and Alice can transform (Neko = human-cat / Alice = human-chain) - they lost their memory, just like Oz and Shiro ! (Neko = remembered nothing from the accident of the Kagutsu crater, she even forgot her name / Alice = destroyed her memories, those before becoming B-Rabbit)

- They have both great powers, and it is one of the most powerful / dangerous (Alice = B-Rabbit / Neko = power of illusion) - Neko and Alice looooove eating and are always hungry ! (Neko = fish / Alice = meat) - They also like giving nicknames to their comrade of bickering (Gil is “Seaweed head” / Kuroh is “Kurosuke”), and others (Neko = calls the Blue King “Boss Megane” / Alice = calls Break “Clown”) etc.

 5) Relationships

 - Kuroh-Neko / Gil-Alice : do not support each other at first, bicker all the time for the same things. But they learn to appreciate each other with time ! The girls love the boys’s cooking, give them nicknames, and are never really impressed by their anger xD

- Shiro-Neko / Oz-Alice : the girls are veeeery attached to the protagonist (Neko is Shiro’s cat ! / Oz = is the contractor and the precious plush of Alice), who is the only friend who was there when they were alone ( Shiro = is the first one who paid attention to her as a cat / Oz = was always with Alice when she was alone, in the tour, as the plush)

- Kuroh-Shiro / Oz-Gil : indeed, their is a strong relationship of master-servant, but we can agree that their friendship is stronger. The servants could give their life for the protagonist, and the protagonists count on them for battles.

I didn’t want to study the characters too much, so there is my little list… Nobody can deny that those trios are very alike ! They live in different worlds, but their story and interactions are similar… No wonder why I fell in love with the golden trio from PH, if I already loved Hakumaitou !

This is not very useful if you don’t know both anime/manga, but I hope some people like me will enjoy it !
