A Monkey’s Hand IS A Mummy’s Hand IS A Devil’s Hand

And it sucks your life away! From Below!

So I just star­ted to con­tinue watch­ing Bake­monogatari and well, it’s been a little inter­est­ing. A monkey’s hand used to make wishes is obvi­ously a mummy’s hand — what else do you call body parts which are wrapped up with spe­cial paper? But what I didn’t really think about was that such hands were made by a Devil. It makes a lot of sense as it comes with the law of equal­ity; for three wishes, your soul will be devoured. Sim­il­arly, think about genies: Are they really dev­ils too? I mean hell, they also give you three wishes. They have to take some­thing in return.

Bake­monogatari is sort of edu­ca­tion yet not. What I would like to see more of is Sen­jou­ga­hara being a Tsun­dere and less of a Yandere. Of course I could jump to the latest epis­ode and find out what hap­pens or read other people’s blog and fig­ure it out, but that would take away a lot of fun.

    For genies, their three wishes always leave people want­ing after cast­ing. e.g. Wish to be the king of the coun­try, after it is gran­ted you want to rule the world. etc etc/

    In a way, it gives you three wishes in exchange for your free­dom since you’ll be con­stantly trapped in hind­sight over what you should have wished for. This free­dom that is taken in return frees the genie.
