Fourth MLM Ship Bracket Propaganda Submissions

Below you will find all of the submitted and approved ships for the Fourth MLM Ship Bracket Tournament along with the form to submit further propaganda at the bottom

This is another opportunity to submit propaganda for your favorite ships. Wether you were unable to submit propaganda for them in the initial form or you spot your favorite ship who has no propaganda submitted. Ships with a strikethrough have propaganda submitted, I will continue to update this post as propaganda is submitted. I will accept further propaganda for ships with already submitted propaganda but please prioritize those with out.

The goal is to have propaganda for all ships but I understand that may not be possible. Therefore I will be leaving the form open for a few weeks to see if we receive propaganda for at least half the ships.

Shelter: Wolf's Jaws

UNION DROPSHIP SUMMER LIGHTNING OBERON VI ORBIT CLAN WOLF INVASION CORRIDOR 30 SEPTEMBER 3049

Femme day.

It took a while to come fully to consciousness. Shelter was far too groggy to make sense of any of her thoughts. Everything was loud and angry. She thrummed with a deep, sorrowful ache. She didn't want to wake up. If she woke up, she'd remember what made her so sad.

Eventually her audio sensors came online. It was quiet in the room. Only the soft beep from a medical monitor broke the silence. All the noise was in her head. The sounds of explosions and rending metal.

The War Griffins were dead.

Ariel. Breck. Susanna. Finch. Wallace. Liana. Both Katherines. Shelter went down the list, all twenty-four pilots of the War Griffins, primary and secondary, two for each machine. But she couldn't stop there, could she? Daisy. Chuck. Maribelle. Norton. Evelyn. On through the members of her team, then through the rest of the technicians. Then the support personnel. All almost certainly killed when the enemy had overrun the Dao Sing Plain base. Dead gods, she didn't even know some of the people in administration. She was the only one who could remember them, and she didn't... If she couldn't, then...

Her eyes burned hot. Tears flowed, soaked into bandages on the left side of her face. She lifted her arm to wipe them away and felt the weight of an IV shunt and the tug of more bandages at her shoulder. There was the ghost of agony somewhere beneath the fog as she moved. She must have been put on some serious painkillers.

Her hair. She'd shaved off all her hair.

But the War Griffins were dead. It had been an appropriate sacrifice.

The 1st Oberon Guards, too. Razor Lance had been the last operating unit of 15th Company. If Rieck and Razor Two had made it out, then they and Shelter were likely the only survivors of a massacre.

I hope Hendrik Grimm III and his pirate lordling toadies got stomped flat by a Catamarauder. If there's any justice in the universe, that'll be the end of the Grimm line. But even this thought wasn't enough to cheer her.

The hiss of a door sliding open caught her attention. Shit. She was going to have to open her eyes.

The harsh artificial lights pierced her brain at the first crack of her eyelids. Her involuntary mewl of pain choked off in her throat. A shadow moved from the door to the side of the bed, followed by others. The figures waited while Shelter adjusted to the light. When she opened her eyes, she saw three people in grey jumpsuits. One, a woman with auburn hair tied back in a tight bun, had gold pins with two red stars at each side of her collar. The other two, a tall, blonde woman with a turned-up nose and a short man who wore a short, curly mohawk and a close-trimmed beard, stood a little back. The blonde's pins bore one star each, while the brunet had only the gold squares.

"Shelter, last of his family, quiaff?" the first woman asked.

Shelter's throat clicked as she swallowed. She tried again and finally mustered enough pliability from her larynx to speak. "Last of her family for now. I'm afraid it changes by the day."

"I am Star Captain Mila. With me are Star Commander Chastity and Warrior Hawk. We are three of the warriors you faced in Friday's battle. I have claimed you as a bondsperson of Clan Wolf. From now until your bondcord is severed, you belong to me. Do you understand?"

As Mila spoke, Chastity jotted notes on a handheld compad. Hawk's face was blank. Mila, however, was stern, her brown eyes as impenetrable as ironwood.

"Dress yourselves up with whatever goofy names you like. Still sounds like slavers and pirates to me." Shelter wished she could spit. She could only muster a dry cough.

Mila watched her for a moment before replying. "You speak as though you yourself were not a pirate serving a bandit king. Or perhaps you have not heard the old saying about glass houses and stones?"

"Not a pirate," Shelter growled. "Hate pirates. I hate Grimm."

The man poured water from a small pitcher into a paper cup and set it on the overbed table that sat at the foot of the bed. He placed the control remote for the bed on the table and wheeled it closer to Shelter. She stared, but his face remained impassive. She took the controls, adjusted the bed to a seated tilt, and drank the water greedily. There were only perhaps fifty milliliters in the cup. Shelter reached for the pitcher, but the man put his hand over hers. "Slowly this time," he said, his voice expressionless but warm. He withdrew his hand, and Shelter poured. As she did, she finally noticed the cord tied around her right wrist, loosely enough not to chafe. She drank her second cup more gently, flicking her gaze between the three warriors.

When she finished, Mila spoke again. "Why serve him, then? I am told that you are not a warrior by trade, but rather a technician. What drove you to take up arms to defend pirates?" Mila kept her tone even. The tension underlying her words, however, was plain.

Shelter closed her eyes and let her head drop back against the thin pillow. "I was defending my family. The War Griffins. We're a part of the 1st Guard, but we always wanted to be free again. Used to be mercs. I wanted..." She trailed off. Her head was beginning to throb. The pain meds were wearing off.

"Mercenary service is more honorable to you than piracy, quiaff?" This must have been Chastity. Her voice bore some of the snideness that Mila suppressed.

Shelter groaned. "I don't know what 'quiaff' means. But yeah. Mercs are free to live how they want, and they don't prey on innocent lives." She rubbed the bridge of her nose with her right hand. "Shouldn't I be talking to a doctor now?"

"You are being monitored by our systems and staff. Your injuries are minor. Is there something that needs to be addressed by a physician?" Mila asked.

Shelter winced as the throbbing grew stronger. "Painkillers are wearing off. I could use another dose. Head's killing me."

"If this is the worst of the pain you suffer in the near future, count yourself very fortunate," Mila said. "These questions are a courtesy. There will be more thorough interrogations to come. If you are not a warrior, how did you learn to operate a BattleMech?"

Memories washed over Shelter. Times she was brought into the administrative offices to see where her parents worked. Times she was allowed on her own recognizance, getting into places she shouldn't have, making friends with technicians, pilots, infantry, scouts, anyone who would talk to her. Signing up at sixteen, and how her parents had railed against her decision. They'd hoped to get her out of the Confederation and back to real civilization, back to the Lyran Commonwealth, where she could have a better life. Well, what if she wanted to make sure everyone got out? What if she wanted to save all of the War Griffins, not just one kid from a white-collar family pulling military paychecks?

Her first real boyfriend, a pilot who encouraged her to try out as a MechWarrior. Her first real girlfriend, a 15th Company scout who taught her how to handle sensor equipment and pentaglycerin. The qualifying trials to put her on the waiting list for an alternate pilot slot. She'd done her share of cross-training them, too. Showed them how to splice myomer, use a tech's diagnostic computer, reorient the factory wire harnesses on the Neil 6000 comms units from Defiance Industries because they always came in misassembled and would shake loose after a month and sometimes snap the soldering.

"I made friends," she said.

"Perhaps the caste mobility the other bondsfolk spoke of," Chastity murmured to Mila. "Within their touman, they have fewer barriers between warriors and the lower castes that serve them."

Shelter looked at her, winced again at the light. "Don't mistake us for the Dracs or the Capellans. We don't have castes." Not officially. But Grimm's attempts to legitimize the Oberon Confederation were more about appearances than equity. There were still haves and have-nots, and some of the haves sat on thrones while some of the have-nots performed forced labor in penal camps to which they'd been sentenced by corrupt magistrates.

Mila pursed her lips as she turned Shelter's words over. "You claim there are no castes, and that you, a technician, were trained in warrior's ways and equipment by warrior friends? This is common?"

"I don't know if I'd call it common. But I can't be the only one. I mean, you couldn't get that kind of cross-training if you were a civilian, but I was a corporal in the service. Signed up at the first chance I got."

"To convince your unit to desert the pirates and become mercenaries," Mila said. This time she couldn't keep the hint of a sneer off her face.

Shelter scowled. "To work to free my family, the company that raised me, from service to a tyrant whose grandpa turned coat from the Lyrans, went pirate, and forced the War Griffins to join his army."

Mila opened her mouth, but Shelter pressed on. "And now you've killed what's left of my family, and you're saying I'm your slave. So as far as I'm concerned, you're no better than Hendrik Grimm. In fact, you're lower than pirate scum like him."

The light exploded into fragments, and the room tilted. Something impacted Shelter's ribs. It took a few moments for her to realize that there hadn't been an explosion--she'd simply been struck by the back of Mila's hand. The force of it had flung her against the overbed table, which was now on its side in a pool of spilled water. The Star Captain was saying something, but Shelter's ears were ringing too loudly for her to make it out.

The three warriors filed toward the door. Star Captain Mila stopped, knelt by the fallen table, and picked up the remote. She snapped at Shelter's face to get her attention. "This is how you call a medtech." She stabbed the red button at the top of the remote, then tossed it harshly against Shelter's chest. The new bruise on her ribs screamed in protest.

Shelter slumped against the bed rail and wept as the Wolves left the room.

K, as of right now, I’m calling Koda’s dog Blue. I’m picturing her as a German Shepard-sized, wolf looking dog with blue-black fur, and yellow eyes. You may change her name, gender, breed, whatever. HOWEVER, I am going to post the list I ended up with, cause I hyper focused. It is now 1:30am. I need to SLEEP.

Whisper (Sonic the Hedgehog)

Moro (Princess Mononoke)

Hayate (Black Hayate, FullMetal Alchemist)

Jump (Page: Lady Knight Series, Tamora Pierce)

Ammy (Okami, video game)

Chibi (Okamiden, sequel to above)

Grimm (myth reference)

Lockjaw (Fantastic Four)

Lucky (generic; also from Hawkeye/MARVEL)

Rex (the Wonder Dog)

Snowy (the Adventures of Tintin)

Streak, the Wonder Dog (Green Lantern)

Titus (Batman)

Ace (Batman)

Antoinette (Ouran High School Host Club)

Astro (the Jetsons)

Balto (movie, Balto)

Blue (Blue’s Clues; also Wolf’s Rain)

Bolt (Bolt, movie)

Buttons (Animaniacs)

Clifford (Clifford the Big Red Dog)

Dante (Coco)

Goddard (Jimmy Neutron)

Lady (Lady and the Tramp)

Magenta (Blue’s Clues)

Perdita (101 Dalmatians)

Pongo (101 Dalmatians)

Pluto (Mickey Mouse)

Rowlf (the Muppets)

Scooby-Doo (Scooby-Doo)

Winona (MLP:FiM)

Courage (Courage the Cowardly Dog)

Diogee (Milo Murphy’s Law)

Duke (Captain N: the Game Master)

Ein (Cowboy Bebop)

Genevieve (Madeline)

Bronx (Gargoyles)

Naga (Legend of Korra)

Pupcake (Strawberry Shortcake)

Sherlock Hound (Sherlock Hound; anime)

Sprocket (Fraggle Rock)

Gromit (Wallace and Gromit)

Olive (Olive, the Other Reindeer)

Scraps (Corpse Bride)

Zero (Nightmare Before Christmas)

Trusty (Lady and the Tramp)

Blacktoe (Star Trek: the Next Generation)

Wishbone (Wishbone)

Bruiser (Legally Blonde)

Buddy (Air Bud)

Chance (Homeward Bound)

Copper (the Fox and the Hound)

Dewey (Firehouse Dog)

Domino (102 Dalmatians)

Friday (Hotel for Dogs)

Gladstone (Sherlock Holmes)

Hubble (Good Boy!)

Junkyard (Race to Witch Mountain)

Luath (the Incredible Journey)

Shadow (Homeward Bound: the Incredible Journey)

in the end, it has to be a random reference to something Koda actually watched and liked, because he is blurting out a name at random so he Can claim her as his dog, so these random people won’t take her away. So, if you think of a better name, by all means, use that.

GOD there are so many good doggos to name her after. I think I might need to just kinda roll with writing the dog more before I pick a name? Sometimes animal names just happen as you vibe their personality.

The Bloomian Apophrades of Barret Wallace in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Heya, folk. SPOILERS ahead for FF7 Remake and Rebirth.

If you saw my last post about taking a basic Bloomian critical lens to Loveless, you might remember that I said I was going to write about reading the characters, locations, fiends, and events of Remake and Rebirth through the lens of adapting Xiyouji. This is one of those analyzing Barret Wallace as adaptation of Sha Wujing.

If you think even rudimentary literary analysis is academic hokum reading too far into things, this post is, as kindly as I can say, not meant for you. To the people who enjoy reading and leave kind words even on the posts I've deleted, thank you kindly again.

As this first bit cooks the goose on a silly introduction to what I've picked first, I'll dive right in by explaining why I picked Barret Wallace.

Why Barret Wallace?

Because of John Eric Bentley. I'm not sure I would have ever been confident about the lens if the voice of Remake and Rebirth's Barret Wallace wasn't the talented and kind Mr. Bentley. He's appeared in more things than I can recount, and I often don't even recognize his voice. More than that, he's got a heart for art and the way literature can become performance, and you can see his reborn desire to “value people” and to “love humanity” come through in his voice work for Remake and Rebirth.

It doesn't hurt that he has apparently been in the world of performance since high school. From there, he went on to get a BA from the University of Minnesota before getting his MFA from the same. I'm not so familiar with that world, but I can't help but feel that his theater training comes through from his silly banter as Barret with Yuffie and Cloud to his campy, almost parodistic, Edmund-like (of King Lear), and dragon-ego-like (of Joseph Campbell) delivery as Varvados. He actually attributes his entry into acting to his education outside of school, though.

In the episode “John Eric Bentley aka Barret Wallace (FFVII Remake) is Inspiring AF” of Gaming and Gabbing by Dayeanne Hutton and Amber Plaster, you can find out that his mother was a teacher that taught him to read early on and instilled in him the idea that “reading opens the door for everything,” eventually countering his questions about things with, “I taught you how to read - look it up.” He explains, “...because of that, I got into Greek mythology - Greek and Roman mythology.” This love for reading, especially of mythology and comic books, made him an insatiable reader, but it also helped him build a powerful memory that resulted in him memorizing and delivering Martin Luther King Jr's I have a Dream Speech at his kindergarten graduation. From there, he elaborates on how his love for mythology and reading pushed him towards acting:

So, years and years go by of me just reading everything I could as far as Greek mythology, and fairy tales, and Grimms’ tales - Grimms’ fairy tales - and, you know, I'm like, ‘How do I find more…’ Then I found out, oh, comic books, you can get a trade paperback. You can get all those volumes in one. So that's how I started doing it in college… and then, as far as Greek mythology goes, I found out there's Greek mythology, there's Norse mythology, there's Roman mythology, there's African mythology. As a matter of fact, in the region of Africa there's different regions of mythology… so I'm like, ‘Oh my gosh, Campbell!’ So, Campbell wrote these three volumes of different mythology from different cultures. So, I was like, ‘This is great! I can read for the rest of my life!’ But, because I could read, I was that one kid in class who could memorize stuff, and any time we had a performance, they were like, ‘Hey John, we've got this for you. Do this on stage.’

While he has mentioned Campbell in other interviews, it seems most of his mentions of a fundamental piece of Campbell's monomyth, the maternal or mother goddess figure primarily based on comparing East-Asian Buddhism’s Guanyin and the Christian Mary, are in videos that are now privated or removed. Unfortunately, I didn't save a copy of any of them, but, within those, he explained that his understanding of Final Fantasy VII changed when he became a part of the Remake trilogy and compared what he was doing to the works of Campbell. He went from seeing it as a game with a black man that reminded him of Mr. T to a game making more people and ideas feel seen than just one young black man from Chicago through a loud, shaky caricature.

I don't know the man, but his passion for reading and learning about the stories that make and describe us comes through to me. I don't enjoy auter-focus when discussing works made by teams, and John Eric Bentley helps remind me of the power less acknowledged members of a project can have in its direction and impact. I can feel the fire he uses to light up Barret's eyes when he talks about reading or about Remake and Rebirth when he can't stop gushing about how much these things mean to him and who he is.

Which, speaking of Barret's eyes,

A Pair of Bright Round Eyes and Visual Adaptation

If you couldn't tell, none of the main characters of Final Fantasy VII Remake or Rebirth look quite like Chinese demons or gods. In all, they're pretty human, but that's not at all uncommon in adaptations of Journey to the West, especially modern ones, and Sha Wujing is a character that often gets reduced to human appearance in a way that others don't. It can be easy to glue hair onto an actor's face to make him more like Stone Monkey, to stick a rubber or silicone nose on a character to make him more like Pigsy, or to just rent a white horse to take the place of White Dragon Horse, but Sha Wujing is an indigo hulk with a head of fiery red hair. It can be hard to find a huge man willing to walk around in deep blue body paint, and that would have been extremely expensive for much of history. Instead, Sha Wujing often ends up being like the Sha Wujing of CCTV's Journey to the West in 1986 or that of NTV's Monkey in 1978 - just a guy from China or Japan as is, sometimes with hair dyed red; though, in the case of Monkey, they gave him a bowl cut and a shaved scalp before he even met Tripitika.

Barret Wallace in Remake and Rebirth, though, comes closer to the appearance of Sha Wujing than most actors that have ever openly portrayed him, especially with the addition of John Eric Bentley's voice that can switch from a thunderous boom of righteous fury to a soothing rumble to comfort a found family. On page 422 of Volume 1 of Anthony C Yu's wonderful Revised Edition of Journey to the West, an English speaker can find a descriptive poem of Sha Wujing that says,

A head full of tousled and flame-like hair; / A pair of bright, round eyes which shone like lamps; / An indigo face, neither black nor green; / An old dragon's voice like thunderclap or drum. / He wore a cape of light yellow goose down. / Two strands of white reeds tied around his waist. / Beneath his chin nine skulls were strung and hung; / His hands held an awesome priestly staff (Wu & Yu, 2012, 1; 422).

Image of Barret Wallace retrieved from Final Fantasy Fandom Wiki.

If one reads Remake and Rebirth as an adaptation of Journey to the West, Barret appears fairly close to the Sandy Monk. His tousled and flame-like hair is worn on his shoulder, his eyes shine so bright with amber passion that he often wears sunglasses even in the dark of Midgar to hide his light, his skin stands in contrast to those he journeys with and is neither truly black nor green, he carries a draconic voice like a resounding thunderclap or battle drum, his vest rests in browns and faint yellows like a cape on his shoulders, his two white reeds have become pairs of belts in Remake, he bears the skulls of his past beneath his neck, and no other character has more dutifully carried a righteous weapon - his becoming a part of him.

That priestly, staff, by the way, is often called the Fiend-Routing Staff, and Sha Wujing wielded it as a fierce defender of the Throne of Heaven while he was known as the Curtain-Raising Captain (Wu & Yu, 2012, 1; 425). That leads into the next point of discussion,

Who is Sha Wujing and How is Barret Connected Narratively?

Sha Wujing goes by a few names, and they can change depending on the translator into a given language. Not uncommon for Sha Wujing are Sandy, the Sand Monk or Sha Monk, and Friar Sand. He also holds titles throughout the story, from the Curtain-Raising Captain or Curtain-Raising General before his banishment from Heaven to his position as Golden-Bodied Arhat at the end of the novel. This is not unusual for any important character in the text, as they all tend to have myriad names and titles that range from nicknames and religious titles to outright insults. Pigsy is called Idiot for much of Yu's translation, for example.

Much of the personality and history a reader of Journey to the West gets of Sha Wujing, however, is actually in a poem he gives recounting most of his own history up to his fight with Pigsy and Monkey that can be found on pages 424 to 425 of Yu's Revised Edition. In that poem, he recounts how he gallantly wandered the world in search of the Way until he met a true immortal who showed him the Great Path of the Golden Light.

After this in the poem, Sha Wujing reveals to the pilgrims that he was made the Curtian-Raising Captain by the Jade Emperor, guarding the Throne of Heaven as the chief of its guardians. When the Queen Mother hosted her Festival of the Peach, a festival in which her peaches of immortality are served in Heaven, Sha Wujing accidentally broke a Jade cup. As a result of the Jade Emperor's anger, he was banished to the Earth at Flowing-Sands River. Outside of the poem, the reader will realize that he is the same Curtain-Raising General that Bodhisattva Guanyin tasked with accompanying the Tang Monk when he arrived at Flowing-Sands River (Wu & Yu, 2012, 1; 250).

This, again, reflects in our Barret Wallace as adaptation. While not all adaptations of Journey to the West from 20th Century Japan detail the Bodhisattva Guanyin's visit to Sha Wujing (Such as in the case of Enix's Gensomaden Saiyuki, which will come up when I cover the Trio of Andrea, Madame M, and Sam in relation to the Three), they do usually detail his violent past and former allegiance to some ruling figure before catching their ire.

If Barret Wallace is to be read as Sha Wujing, the breaking of the jade cup that draws the ire of the Jade Emperor of Final Fantasy VII (President Shinra), then, is the destruction of the Corel Mako Reactor. Where Sha Wujing of the 1592 text accidentally breaks a Jade cup in his service to the heavenly bureaucracy, Barret Wallace accidentally breaks his community in his eagerness to welcome the bureaucracy of Shinra when the Mako Reactor Is destroyed. Like Sha Wujing, who is ejected down from his home in Heaven to the Flowing-Sands River, Barret Wallace falls from honor in his home in the mountains to the flowing sands of the Corel Desert, bounded by an impassable river.

There, Barret Wallace begins his own history of man-eating. Where Sha Wujing eats men to sustain his immortal body as a monster cast from heaven and pierced by the swords of the Jade Emperor every seventh day (seven is one of the numbers that appears often within Xiyouji's numerical symbolism, even appearing in adaptations, such as Universe 7 from Dragon Ball), Barret Wallace consumes men through his violent rage against the powers that sent him from their home.

This change in this reading, from eating of innocent human flesh to sustain oneself to killing of innocent people in a fight against the oppressive forces of an untouchable power, reflects to some degree a modern trend in adaptations of Xiyouji. As Hongmei Sun explains in Transforming Monkey: Adaptation and Representation of a Chinese Classic, modern adaptations of Journey to the West since the mid-20th century have tended to portray Sun Wukong and his companions as heroes fighting against oppressive forces, people, and beasts. On page 60, she says of her relationship to Sun Wukong and his story,

The contemporary images of Sun Wukong have been so overwhelmingly positive that to me— and to millions of other Chinese readers—the Monkey King is a hero, a role model, and one who is not only fearless and willing to challenge authorities but also loyal to his master Tripitaka and devoted to the goal of the band of pilgrims. Although he had been a trickster figure who embodied contradictory values as portrayed in Journey to the West, or a monkey who made funny moves and demonstrated opera skills in the late Qing dynasty, the Monkey King in the new China epitomizes positive and progressive values for the proletarian revolution and socialist construction.

However, this divergence is not complete, and Barret Wallace of Remake and Rebirth, in this reading, can represent a return to a more traditional perception of the novel while giving new life to the character, as Barret's righteous fight against Shinra is not an unchanging or morally unambiguous fight. Regularly, in the retelling of Remake and Rebirth, does Barret Wallace reflect on the lives he has taken and the consequences of his agreeing to work with Shinra. However, Barret's closeness to Sha Wujing even surpasses other adapted characters, such as Yamcha from Dragon Ball, who did nothing so extreme and bloodthirsty as eco-terrorism in his life as a desert bandit.

How is Barret as Sandy Expanded in Remake and Rebirth?

Easily, one can see his adopted daughter, Marlene, as emblematic of this embodiment of contradictory values expressed across much of Xiyouji. Sha Wujing, who did not have much character background beyond his time as the Curtain-Raising General, is humanized through Barret's adoptive daughter and forced to confront his desire to provide for a generation free of oppression while being willing to tear a city full of innocent people apart to do it. Marlene, then, allows a reader of the text as adaptation to see a side of Sha Wujing that doesn't just use the memory of his man-eating to pass a narrative roadblock.

Within Xiyouji, Guanyin tells Sha Wujing upon enfolding him in the Buddhist journey that he will find use of the eight skulls around his neck, his history of man-eating that Guanyin said was evidence of his sin against himself, when he encounters Tripitaka. When he does at Flowing-Sands River, after a bit of confused fighting with Zhu Bajie and Monkey and a few showcases of his excellent swimming ability, he is tasked by Tripitaka and Mokṣa with constructing an eight-skulled dharma vessel out of those and a gourd to ferry Tripitaka across. While this isn't a series of events with clear symbolism to most English-speaking readers, a reading of Rebirth as adaptation of Xiyouji can help decipher a possible reading of it.

The parallel episode for Barret Wallace in this reading of Rebirth would be in his arc during Corel, the Gold Saucer, and in the Corel Desert. Barret Wallace, whose dog tags in Remake and Rebirth bear his own name and history as an eco-terrorist, confronts his history of man-eating when he is falsely accused of murdering Shinra guards and innocent bystanders in the Musclehead Colosseum. In a confrontation with the actual murderer, Dyne, a mirror of Barret without Marlene to remind him of why he fights and what his limits are, Barret Wallace emerges victorious and reflects on having to continue his Journey for the sake of himself, Marlene, Tifa, and the other family he found along the way. As he pleads with Dyne to value his own life and continue on to see Marlene again, Dyne takes his own life as a victim to suicide-by-Shinra guards, leaving Barret literally and metaphorically broken into pieces, sobbing over his body.

Rather shockingly and abruptly to some people, Dio comes speeding in on an eight-wheeled buggy as Barret mourns his friend. A reading of the text as adaptation of Xiyouji, however, shows how crucial it is to have this moment come immediately as Barret accepts his past and decides to continue on for those around him. Dio becomes the Mokṣa that arrives to instruct Sha Wujing to turn his past, the skulls of his past, into a dharma vessel, an eight-wheeled buggy, in order to continue on the righteous journey for the sake of all sentient beings. Marlene, then, serves as a focal-point for the reader of Remake and Rebirth to understand the importance of limits on one's nature. Without Marlene to direct his fight against Shinra towards a future guaranteeing a better world, Barret Wallace might have become another Dyne, consuming the lives of others until his own was snuffed out in his blind fury. Instead, the reader of FF7 Rebirth as Xiyouji is left with a Barret Wallace as a tool of righteousness that can be turned towards a journey of bettering things for all sentient beings with the Monk, Tifa, at the wheel of the dharma vessel on the journey to enlightenment.

As a more limited parallel, the pilgrims lose this dharma vessel as soon as they cross Flowing-Sands River, with the gourd at the center being retrieved by Mokṣa. Similarly, the narrative use of the buggy in Rebirth is restricted to crossing into the Gongaga region over an otherwise impassable river. This is distinct from the 1997 game, in which AVALANCHE uses the buggy to navigate all the way to the place of Cloud's birth, but it more closely follows the text and symbolism of Xiyouji if Rebirth is read as having the apophrades of the work later in the original authors' lives.

While there are other aspects of the narrative and symbolism of Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth that mirror Sha Wujing's presence in Xiyouji, such as when the pilgrims are lost in the black pine forest without Monkey to aid them mirroring the new telling of the events of the Sleeping Forest before Cloud returns to the journey in Rebirth, this is an event in Xiyouji that would have ended the journey without Sha Wujing's presence and history being a part of it. I could go on endlessly about his limited appearances in the novel and how the Remake trilogy expands that if read as adaptation, but I want to end it with that important beat.

In the Future and a Fun Coincidence

Thank you if you've read this far.

I probably won't focus so much on the voice actors of the characters as time goes on, as John Eric Bentley is a rather unique figure in his passion for what he does flowing into passion for what others do. He also seems to be uniquely informed about mythology in general.

Even more, tracking down and listening to or watching hours of interviews adds a lot of work to reading an unfinished game trilogy with hundreds of hours of content as an adaptation of a story with nearly two thousand pages of material (I'm using Anthony C Yu's translation in his 2012 Revised Edition of Xiyouji, as it is popular with English-speakers and contains useful footnotes for context) and countless adaptations from Japan alone before 2015. The only thing I mentioned taking place outside of the first volume of Yu's translation is the black pine forest. I'm also working on another project in relation to this idea, so these just serve as a way for me to get used to writing about these ideas in my free time.

I'm still going to be posting them, though. I'll be writing about Enix's adaptations of Xiyouji influencing the Remake trilogy as adaptation next by focusing on the Trio of Remake as use of the Three from Enix's Saiyuki. That will be a much shorter write and read, as neither set of three is crucial to the story because they are additions to the original story. I don't actually like the manga or anime Saiyuki, so I'm thankful its influence can be seen as limited lol

With that said, a neat little coincidence I found while looking into Japanese portrayals of Sha Wujing is that one of the most famous actors to portray Sha Wujing, Akira Emoto, also played a detective in a 1981 cult classic movie named Sailor Suit and Machine Gun (セーラー服と機関銃) based on a novel by the same name. Other than in my reading of FF7 as adaptation of Xiyouji, the only incidence I can find of a Sha Wujing in Japan wearing a sailor suit is in the 2008 light novel series High School DxD in which Sha Wujing, a young girl descendant of the original Sha Wujing, wears a sailor suit dissimilar from much of the rest of the female characters.

Barret and the one Sha Wujing I was able to find wearing a sailor suit. Barret image from Final Fantasy VII State of Play and Sha Wujing from High School DxD Fan Wikia.

Considering that Sha Wujing is legendary for his swimming ability as a desert-dweller, able to outrun even Monkey in the water, I'm surprised more adaptations don't associate him with water. In any case, Remake as adaptation makes him a powerful swimmer in the Mythril Mines (with even John Eric Bentley highlighting his swimming on Twitter, saying, “Man that big dude sure can swim fast!!”) and plops him into a sailor suit so convincingly that a captain can't help but think he belongs on the water.

Again, thanks for reading if you did. Remember to, in the words of John Eric Bently, "love humanity" and that "reading opens the door for everything."
