⚠️Spoilers for Star Wars Original Trilogy and Animal Land⚠️

Luke is the son of the main antagonist, Giller. A similar interrogation scene to that in Episode IV happens where Giller uses tools to extract information from a girl named Riemu, who later becomes Luke's friend. (2/2)

I'll be working to have the Crash project, starting with Crash himself, to be released shortly after my avatar, so if you are interested in seeing it, please follow me! (3/3)

As of right now, I'm working on something else that I want to release first: my Mauthrien avatar!

It's very important for me to have a defined identity as an artist, so before showing any works, I want to show who I am. (2/3)

These are the Castlevania references that I found in Golden Gash!! and Animal Land.

I hope that this thread introduces these wonderful manga and games to many people. (40/40)

Honestly, I was going to omit the Curse of Darkness references since they seemed like just coincidences, but I got to the second fight with Isaac and that was enough to make them more believable. I could be wrong, though. (39/40)
November 18, 2024 at 10:08 AM
As for Jyu and Isaac, the change from a bone spear to laser weapons for his rematch with Giller is very similar to what Isaac does in Curse of Darkness. (38/40)

Makoto Raiku changed Globule's yellow to red and pink, meaning that maybe the matching colors are a coincidence. (37/40)
November 18, 2024 at 10:06 AM
The place that Giller needs to access to complete Globule is called Abel, like Isaac's innocent devil that is the same type as The End. Abel however, could simply be derived from Babel, as the place is located in a tower called Tower of Babel. (36/40)
November 18, 2024 at 10:06 AM
Giller has silver hair like Hector, and Globule resembles The End in some aspects, such as the black and yellow colors, four eyes (not counting the forehead eye of The End), and lava rock pattern on the shoulders. (35/40)
November 18, 2024 at 10:05 AM
It's possible that Giller and Jyu are also based on Hector and Isaac from Curse of Darkness. (34/40)
November 18, 2024 at 10:05 AM
Jyu does not seem to be a reference to a character in specific, but his gear consisting of a whip as one of his weapons and bat wings for the fight against the character based on Alucard suggests that Makoto Raiku intended Jyu to be a combination of a Belmont and Dracula. (33/40)
November 18, 2024 at 10:04 AM
A succubus tries to convince Alucard that life is painful for humans and death can free them from this burden. This scene is what Makoto Raiku used for Giller's motivation. (32/40)
November 18, 2024 at 10:04 AM
The name of Giller's mother is Lisa, the same as Adrian "Alucard" Tepes's mother. A conversation that Giller had with his mother is what gave him his ideology. (31/40)
November 18, 2024 at 10:03 AM
Giller was used by his father Jeego to become rich thanks to his ability to speak with animals, but one day, Giller stabbed his father. During his last breath, Jeego aknowledged his mistakes just like Dracula did. (30/40)
November 18, 2024 at 10:02 AM
His connection with Alucard isn't in his appearance besides the cape and the big collar on it, but in his backstory and motivation. (29/40)
November 18, 2024 at 10:01 AM
Giller is the main antagonist of Animal land. A human whose goal is to exterminate all life in the planet. (28/40)
November 18, 2024 at 10:01 AM
The Castlevania references are less in Animal Land, but that does not make them less important than those in Golden Gash!!. Why? Because the main antagonist himself is based on Alucard. (27/40)
November 18, 2024 at 10:00 AM
Even if Faudo Arc isn't inspired by Aria of Sorrow, I love these similarities as Soma and Zeon are my favorite characters from Castlevania and Golden Gash!!. (26/40)
November 18, 2024 at 9:59 AM
Gash's amnesia and Zeon's debut were introduced before Aria of Sorrow came out, so if Makoto Raiku took inspiration from this game, it would be the dark power and support from friends. (25/40)
November 18, 2024 at 9:59 AM
One of the main characters has white hair (Soma and Zeon), an amnesiac hero regains his memories because of that white haired character (Julius and Gash), and one character possesses a dark power, but he dominates that power thanks to his friends (Soma and Gash). (24/40)
November 18, 2024 at 9:59 AM
Faudo Arc has a few similarities with Aria of Sorrow. (23/40)
November 18, 2024 at 9:58 AM
While Rodeaux and Cheeta might not be based on Mathias and Leon after all, at least we can say that Makoto Raiku sees Rodeaux as Castlevania's Dracula because of that Gash Café omake, and this could influence his design in Golden Gash!! 2. (22/40)
November 18, 2024 at 9:57 AM
Makoto Raiku released a series of omake stories titled Gash Café. Rodeaux is in one of them along Zofis, where Rodeaux (Dracula) talks about making Zofis (Shaft) his subordinate. (21/40)
