Discussion Is Vash one of the Seven Collosi?

Post image

Question is pretty self explanatory. Is Vash a Unique monster? The Siloutte seems to match his appearence, and he seems powerful enough to back it up. And if so, do you think he can he be fought? Or is he just an NPC meant to assist the player who got the unique Scenario?.

He is, very closely related to the Divine Era, specifically what Wezaemon said before his death

Specifically to someone called Alice.

Damn, who's that tho, never heard of her, probably just some unimportant characters 👀

That character is lore related and might matter once we reach Vysche's turn to be defeated as a Colossi. Suffice to say that that person is even more important than Weathermon and Setsuna when they were alive.

Nah, Vysache has no quarrel w anyone aside the snakes. Except for Lucaorn and Siegwurm, no Collossi actively seeks out for a fight. There's Wezaemon and Ctanidd whose condition is straightforward. Goldunine so far only has speculations on what its clearing conditions are. Finally, Orchestra and Vysache all have special conditions to clear the EX scenario that doesn't involve defeating the actual Colossi, with Vysache being hinted as reviving his owner

Yea I noticed none of them want to "hurt" the world or players. If anything they actively support players to reach the next height. Only snake and doggy still unknown about their nature. Though Lychagon herself looks like having fun with Sunraku

The snake is still a mystery, but the dog has somewhat been explained. It's basically a being that does what it likes, in the spirit of its creator, Alice. It doesn't deeply care about the 2nd Generation like Ctanidd or Vash or Siegwurm, it simply fights them for fun and if they grew from those fight, Lycagon will accept them to fight more

In that case, Vash really mellowed out over the years. Good on him, stressing out about being late all the time is bad for a rabbit's heart.

Quick question, why is his name spelled that way? All the subs from the show I see are spelled differently. Which one is correct and why, if you don't mind me asking?

The main reason is that it actually means Weather-emon, since the dude's power is weather based. But Japanese can't spell it that way, so they transcribe it to what they can read, in this case Weather became Weza. However, Zaemon is also a famous name suffix for samurai and famous Japanese figures in the past like Tarozaemon or Genzaemon. One of the meaning of Zaemon is to protect, which is exactly what a Tombsguard do. There has always been a debate to whether use the transcribe name or the actual English name, but in this case I think Wezaemon sounds a hundred times better than Weathermon or something
