but yet i agree, they are similar in some way... but it doesn't appear to me that their character was inspired by the same mythological figure.

I meant to ask which figures you had in mind.I suppose you associate Zodd to the minotaur,but does your post mean you actually have another figure in mind for Gouki,Oltobaz said:trapped_soul said:well, in my opinion akuma looks a lot more humanoid than Zodd does.

Someone on this board has Akuma for his picture, and I was struck at how similar he looks to Zodd. Also, they both are looking for the ultimate fight.
So, was one based on the other? Or are they both based on some mythical Japanese warrior God?
The Akuma, or Gouki, was a fighting spirit of evil, kinda like zodo eh?
i don't think of any figure in particular. i am pretty sure miura was inspired by the minotaur and used it for zoddo. as for akuma i have no idea, but as i said it's definitely not likely he was inspired by the same figure, since akuma looks much more human than zoddo does.I meant to ask which figures you had in mind.I suppose you associate Zodd to the minotaur,but does your post mean you actually have another figure in mind for Gouki,Oltobaz said:Could you be more precise?
and if so,which one?
i wonder what his weakness is if he has one!? :-\Walter said:I see a large number of animals in Zodd's character design. A bear, a tiger, a bat, a bull... He's just an all around monster.
he has no apparent weakness. yet he can be defeated by someone who is even stronger than he is.Maximus said:i wonder what his weakness is if he has one!? :-\
