Talk:Odessa (Wild Arms 2)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Judecca's... "Homosexuality": I don't know if anyone wants to include it or not, but I'll try to explain it as best as I can...
In the Japanese version of Wild ARMs 2 and the Wild ARMs Artbook, there are hints that Judecca is also in love with Vinsfeld, but the reason for his "love" is what makes it seem so...unsure and why I put quotes around the word. Vinsfelds ideals and plans benefit Judecca's sadistic passion. Vinsfeld, in his quest, allows Judecca a place to "play" with human beings, thus fulfilling Judecca's desires. Because Vinsfeld's ways fulfill him, he has feelings for him. Due to Judecca's growing mental instability, what normal people would find as simply "appreciation" to Vinsfeld is overblown into love/passion/obsession by Judecca.
I have no idea how this got translated in the English Version, but as the game went on, Judecca's dialogue showed degrading progress in his mental condition. He started off as being fairly level headed, doing his glasses/chuckle thing, but speaking quite reasonably. As time progresses and as he's involved in more fighting, his dialogue got "stranger", and he declared he was somewhat obsessed with Vinsfeld before you fight him the final time.
One theory is that he killed himself because he was so obsessed with Vinsfeld at that point, and thought Vinsfeld would be displeased with him not being able to stop Arms. He believes Vinsfeld will take away his "play time", which he definitely doesn't want, but thinks will happen, so he kills himself. After you beat him, he also talks about the incident at the Excavation site, and in a way that makes it sound like Vinsfeld was already displeased with him about that, which makes this theory rather plausible to me personally.
The artbook also contains an image where Judecca only sees Vinsfeld through his glasses, and the caption beneath it is adorned with a heart...
Made by request. It's like a skeleton now, but there's a lot more information to be added. I will also make an article with Wild ARMs 2's secondary characters some time in the future, as all of this is not included in the main game's article. - The Norse 02:54, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
