Italy Arc: Boss Prediction/Discussion

**etufo** · 02-15-2009, 12:10 AM

According to chapter 292's spoilers, the boss or a sub-boss will make an appearance. Please, let's talk about all predictions and facts about the upcoming boss in this thread, so it doesn't fill up the latest chapter discussions.

Most people on ST think the upcoming boss is going to be David. I wouldn't personally mind if that's true, but I'm starting to think its something bigger. My preferred choice would be Zeus.

A worldwide mission of this caliber deserves a boss like that.

I think it would be David.

He will appear walking like nothing and suddenly the hunters nearby will die for no reason.

but zeus is in greece, not italy. The king of gods in roman mythology is Jupiter. There are several Jupiter statues in Rome, but they are small and of no iconic significance.

My guess, beside David, there's Capitoline Wolf breastfeeding Romulus and Remus. This thing is the most iconic statue of Rome, because Romulus and Remus are the founder of Rome. There are several of these in Rome too, made out of bronze. However, they are slightly bigger than real life size, so still small.

Here's thing, at the bottom of my heart, I don't think the aliens would care to enter the most iconic statue of Rome. And we know that the boss isn't necessary the biggest, or even big at all. However, Oku might choose an iconic statue just because it's iconic and familiar with the readers.

Edit: as for the largest statue in Rome, it's king Victor Emmanuel II:

Oh I'm well aware that Zeus is from Greece, but that doesn't mean the scope has to be limited to Italy only. Another reason why I made this thread is so others can share ideas of other iconic figures to be the boss.

Maybe I shouldn't used the word "Big", maybe seemingly more powerful.

Did the mod take out the picture of Victor Emmanuel II from my post?

^on the pic issue, I don't think so.

I'd really like the boss to be the wolf statue, it'd be very different from the usual, having a non humanoid boss.

However, I think it'll end up being David too.

A triple boss? Romulus + Remus + Wolf?
Zeus was "taken" from the Greek and renamed Jupiter by the Romans - same God actually.

David wouldn´t be bad either....

Iconic Figures...
Italy...

...

Super Mario? Think about the Horror a 100 point Mario would be!?
He would jump on the heads of the gantzer and his joshi could eat the corpses and lay eggs where the new gantzer aliens come out of...

triple bodies doesn't mean triple individuals. It can be one essence residing within 3 bodies, like the trinity, or the concept of the Hindu Great Spirit, or Pain from Naruto for that matter.

Here's another possibility, like I said before (but for some reason the pic I provided got lost!?), is King Victor Emmanuel II. It's the biggest statue 12 meter tall standing right in central rome.
