At this point it should be obvious that Cruz and Christ (The Second) have a lot in common, and not just by the synonymic connection of both names.
On another note, Saten would be Satan, right? That says alot about him. Last edited by Homura7; 2009-11-09 at 12:20. |

just want to remention that cruz is spanish for cross, they mention it on his profile.
http://www.onemanga.com/Needless/2/01/ cant believe Uten was four years younger than Cruz, most ten year olds i know arent that articulate Last edited by shadowii; 2009-11-09 at 17:39. |

I guess the black spot makes you grow up fast....unless you got a big sister that fries anyone that tries to harm u ^^. You end up like Cruz. So kids like Uten and the pretty girl squad just mature faster cause if you dont you die? lol
The biblical stuff is interesting tho there are gaps, if Cruz is realy the savior of this story you need more elements then just names and *(the fragments arnt part of biblical refference)* Id like to mention that Lucifer/angel of light are other names of the devil, so also Arclight would fit the description. What else could be fitting Cruz is his acceptance of people and mainly former enemies, Christ in the bible also collected people around him that people wouldnt realy accept. Wonder if he will have 12 followers as well (and ofc 1 that betrays him ^^). Then again the entire sister thing doesnt fit in with a Christ story since Christ never had a sister that tried to kill him :P So its not as easy to understand where the writer wants to take the story, sure some big outlines come from the bible but not everything ofc. |

It's something many authors do. They take elements and info from places and develop them in their own way, and in turn that makes it original. According to the bible, when Christ came back to life he became the strongest being on par with God himself. The death/resurrection process Cruz went through was to awaken his dormant power. During his stance between life and death, everything in him changed and he's not ordinary kid anymore. The author collects elements from the bible and develops them in his own way. That's another of the treats I like about needless, religion As for the 12 followers, I'm sure those are his intentions. But I doubt some one of them will betray him since Aruka already played the Judas role. So, who would be the 12 followers? Lets see the candidates: Disk: Once she gets her new body, I'm pretty sure her raw power will be increased. Mio: Not so sure yet. We musn't forget she's Simeon member. Eve: Obviously. Teruyama: No, just no. Seto: Fix that sword first. Solva: Bipolar female FTW. So far 5 of the 12. As for Arclight, he's part of the Holy Trinity that Aruka mentions in chapter 12 along with the Father (Blade) and the Son (Cruz). On an interesting note, it's stated in the bible that Satan betrayed the Holy Spirit (Arclight). You know who is Satan in Needless, right? Last edited by Homura7; 2009-11-10 at 12:57. |

Lol you realy need to reread your bible btw. cause mentionings of the devil/satan arnt including the entire story about his betrayal of God. Its not in there there are only references to it.
Another reference is that Satan was the angel known as Lucifer/ angel of light. 1 of the arcangels. Also whats important is that Satan succeeded in seducing Adam&Eve but failed so with Christ. Think that element will be implanted in the story cause the basics for it are there. As for 11 or 12 folowers id include all of the PGS, Kuchinashi Mio and Setsuna. You say they are Simeon but thats only half true since their main alliance would be with the Girls school members and Cruz is a member as Yamada. Also that Setsuna send that other girl to aid him fighting Hatfield says enough. To add to my defence of Adam Arclight in being Satan wiki-Lucifer -former Archangel -Lucifer/Lightbearer ArcLight to another note among christianity those that do know the scriptures any reference to an angel of light automaticly is identified as Satan nothing else. |

Depends he works for the old folks tho and only serves Adam Arclight when it seems fit. So realy there are multiple factions.
Apart from the story he could symbolize any range of people. He would be fitting as Judas, note that Judas was possessed by a demon/Satan im to tired to quote the bible on it but its said that the devil came to him. That could be the link to his name. Non of the 4 are linked to anything biblical btw. Also in general the other heroes/villains arnt linked to the biblical context. So Cruz,Blade Eve and Arclight prolly got to be seen lose from those elements. Little bit more explanation about the situation. Adam Blade and Eve were created in that lab and raised they should be the new Adam and Eve, im not sure about the situation but the person that took over the remains of the 2nd became Arclight. The last one is Cruz who seems not to have a power yet survives many incidents that should have killed him. Arclight would have to be Satan that wants to take over the Blackspot and rule the world like Satan wants to rule heaven and earth, also Arclight refers to himself as a God. Clasical Satan thing. About Blade and Eve im not clear since i cant read the japanese but they were trying to bring back the 2nd artificialy. Eve was to have Blades child or something? Cruz is more or less the 1 out of a milion factor not expected nor asked for but hes smart and against all odds wins. Im almost certain he will develope beyond Blade since its clear Blade might have a limitation to his power and the rules set in the story is that a Needless only has 1 fragment. So in essence he will never defeat Arclight. Also cause he had his battle at the Simeon tower and lost. Usualy that would mean another character steps up and defeats him. In this case Cruz. |

As for the references about Cruz, it should be cristal obvious he is Christ in the bible, the Son in the Holy Trinity, etc. Plus we already witnessed his crucifix in Needless and many more things. |

i just said this but hes at least not the son of the second, the second died years before Cruz was born. And i think we should just wait ten more days and read the next chapter (perhaps seeing how this fight with Hatfield ends) before we confirm Cruz as the lord and savior. Spoiler for Cruz's development:

Actually, since The Second is depicted as Christ too (savior), it's more likely he is his reincarnation than his son, but who knows.
Let's talk about another thing related. It's the connection between the first Adam and Christ, the second (guess what?) and last Adam. Between the first Adam and the Last (Christ) there's a contrast. And it's the following: http://www.abetterhope.com/whois/adam.html Now it's clear why Cruz reminded Kanna of Blade, right? Spoiler for The two Adams:
In a near future don't be surprised if Cruz shows some of Blade's traits such as, for example, his "verdict". Last edited by Homura7; 2009-11-10 at 14:20. |

oh that I was expecting, for him to start doing verdict death penalty like Blade and Eve do. Mabye for awhile, before or if he gets powers, kanna and Disk will make him some sort of supersuit. With Kanna around Disk might finally be able to fix her body. |
