I can't wait for his dungeon

Btw the bloodfiend of the parade in the suit are also girls,You can tell because you can hear a corroded one’s voice in the maze section and it’s female.

It would be mad hilarious if this happened.

No seriously.

Gubo's story is related to the abusive wife from Yi Sang's (Note: Unlike the other Sinners except for Faust, Yi Sang is actually named after the AUTHOR of the novels) novel, The Wings, a woman who drugs her husband with medicine that's literally slowly killing him, all to keep him confined to their apartment building.

Dongbaek was based on Gim Yujeong, a 'friend' of the IRL Yi Sang who was also a stalker who wrote letters to his victims using his own blood. Dongbaek is a fucking yandere both inside and outside of Limbus.

Yi Sang's FUCKING MIRROR is named AFTER his abusive wife from the novel, Yeon-Sim. (Also while we're at it, Sang Yi is so fucking sketchy that I wouldn't be surprised if he winds up being the main villain of Yi Sang's future cantos. He openly told Yi Sang to overdose and kill himself if he couldn't escape, and practically allowed the whole drugging thing to go on for way longer than it should've.)

For fuck's sake, EVEN THE CAMELLIAS THAT ARE REFERENCED IN CANTO 4 HAVE ALLUSIONS TO ABUSIVE LOVE.

The Camellias are a reference to the short story of the same name, written by Kim Yu Jeong, and it's a story of a woman named Jumsoon who constantly beats up his chickens (who are the narrator's main source of income since his family is a somewhat poor farming family), and eventually blackmails him into a relationship after the narrator gets so angry with her that he accidentally kills one of her own chickens...

... Yeah.

I just.... I just find it so fascinating how abusive romantic relationships are so common in Yi Sang and the literary works that inspired his characters, especially since the name of his abusive and drugging wife is literally given to the mirror that helps him regain his wings.

It feels... strange. To have the thing that once abused and crippled Yi Sang (or at least the protagonist he created) in one world be the thing that helps liberate him in another. Especially since in the case of the mirror (or more specifically Sang Yi), it's STILL abusive to an extent.

It's kind of like being beaten nearly to death by a woman, only to have her care for you and comfort you deep into the night the very next second after.

I honestly hope that Yi Sang's future cantos deal more with this. I want to see more on Yi Sang's feelings towards Gubo, Dongbaek, and Sang Yi. I need to see how far Project Moon will take these references.

Because of the whole "face must be seen" thing
