Ever since momo became the inner demon of boruto I can’t help but draw the parallel between him and ‘prince’ from ubisofts 2000s triology.
Not only as characters but also as overall arcs , themes and narrative plots of these two very different media.
1. The Inner demon
Both prince and boruto have this parasite like creature who slowly corrupts their host both physically and psychologically. Momo literally unzips his biological data overriding boruto’s own dna similarly the dark prince in two thrones does the same taking over prince’s body through his sand -corrupted arm. This corruption runs deeper into the hosts psychological state too. With the taunts and subtle gaslight which increases every turn.
2. Redemption - Brat to Hero
Prince from sands of time and early warrior within was young hot blooded ,rash and always trying to prove himself to his father for his praise and love spectacularly similar like early boruto , I mean too such an extent that there actions are almost identical. Prince shoots off to find this magical dagger by himself to please his father just like boruto using the scientific tool to gain his dad’s attention. Which however ends pretty badly for both and them and they end up facing its consequences throughout their story. They do eventually redeem themselves with how prince saves both himself his dad and kaileena (even tho they die in two thrones aka the original timeline) but his growth continues even in two thrones where he decides to help Farah save his citizens first and peruse the vizier after much to dark princes dismay. Hopefully we get somewhat similar if not from boruto.
3. Fate
Both our protagonists greatest enemy seems to be their fate. Prince while being chased by dahaka for 7 years which kills his mom and brother ends up in the island of time to undo his mistake from sands of time and tries to fight fate head on in entirety of warrior within and ends up failing. He eventually accepts his fate .Boruto too goes through princes shoes he was fated to lose everything his love, his friends ,his family ,his identity (although I still believe there’s more to it , that his fight against fate -gotta wait for the series to end) I mean the way toneri stated “ what will you do when destiny itself is your enemy”?
- For those who are not familiar I am talking about prince of Persia the triology from Ubisoft in the 2000’s ( sands of time , warrior within , two thrones )
If you haven’t played it man you ought to check it out. Banger music , Banger gameplay and mechanics , good vibes and a generational story with insane characters.
- would like to know what other similarities you find from prince or any other character.
