Buddy Daddies theory: The Major Arcana

Episode 10 had me thinking, the ferris wheel was a very prominent element in it, and we also see it twice in the opening, so the writers clearly meant for it to *mean* something.

Now, I love tarot cards and their symbolism/meanings, so ofc I thought of the "wheel of fortune" major arcana card.

Then it clicked.

The major arcana, also called "the fool's journey" each has major themes that (in my opinion) correlate to it's corresponding episode number.

– Episode 1: Piece of Cake/ the Magician, the 1st card

UPRIGHT: Manifestation, resourcefulness, power, inspired action

REVERSED: Manipulation, poor planning, untapped talents

How it relates: Kazuki's resourcefulness, and also his poor planning. Also I thought the whole Santa/Rei hiding in a box looked like a magic trick.

– Episode 2: Kiss of Death/ The High Priestess

UPRIGHT: Intuition, sacred knowledge, divine feminine, the subconscious mind

REVERSED: Secrets, disconnected from intuition, withdrawal and silence

How it relates: This card urges us to feel, rather than think. Also represents a secret (Miri)

– Episode 3: Spice of Life/ The Empress

UPRIGHT: Femininity, beauty, nature, nurturing, abundance

REVERSED: Creative block, dependence on others

How it relates: this is the episode where we meet Miri's mother, Misaki. The empress represents the maternal figure.

– Episode 4: What will be, Will be/ The Emperor

UPRIGHT: Authority, establishment, structure, a father figure

REVERSED: Domination, excessive control, lack of discipline, inflexibility

How it relates: This is the Episode where Kazuki forfeits documents to legally become Miri's guardian.

– Episode 5: Crunchtime/ The Hierophant (the Taurus card)

UPRIGHT: Spiritual wisdom, religious beliefs, conformity, tradition,institutions

REVERSED: Personal beliefs, freedom, challenging the status quo

How it relates: in this episode, Kazuki (a Taurus) worries about the family's finances. Taurus rules over the second house in astrology, which is the house of finances and material things.

In this episode we also see Kyu reminding them about their "tradition", their institution, the organization, and we also get a bit of a "wedding" imagery, whether they intended it or not.

– Episode 6: Love is Blind/ The Lovers

UPRIGHT: Love, harmony, relationships, values alignment, choices

REVERSED: Self-love, disharmony, imbalance, misalignment of values

How it relates: "our genes!!" "Our *what*?"

Lol but really the whole episode is about love. Miri and Taiga, Kazuki and Rei, Miri's values being questioned.

– Episode 7: After Rain Comes Fair Weather/ The Chariot

UPRIGHT: Control, willpower, success, action, determination

REVERSED: Self-discipline, opposition, lack of direction

How it relates: this is Kazuki's backstory episode, very sad, his wife was killed bc of a car (two cars), and the chariot represents moving on forwards.

– Episode 8: Nothing seek, Nothing hide/ Strength (the Leo card)

UPRIGHT: Strength, courage, persuasion, influence, compassion

REVERSED: Inner strength, self-doubt, low energy, raw emotion

How it relates: well, it relates to Rei specifically, since it's his birthday, he's a Leo, and there's a lot of fighting, persuasion, self doubt and raw emotion.

– Episode 9: No Sweet without Sweat/ The Hermit

UPRIGHT: Soul-searching, introspection, being alone, inner guidance

REVERSED: Isolation, loneliness, withdrawal

How it relates: maybe it's bc Kazuki and Rei are isolated from their real world.

As The Hermit walks his path, the lamp lights his way – but it only illuminates his next few steps rather than the full journey. He must step forward to see where to go next, knowing that not everything will be revealed at once. In his left hand, the side of the subconscious mind, The Hermit holds a long staff (a sign of his power and authority), which he uses to guide and balance him.

This reminds me of when Kazu, Rei, and Miri all ran towards the end goal of the race, to win the gold medal. They do not know how the rest of the journey will go. Only the next few steps.

– Episode 10: Lost at Sea/ Wheel of Fortune, the 10th card

UPRIGHT: Good luck, karma, life cycles, destiny, a turning point

REVERSED: Bad luck, resistance to change, breaking cycles

How it relates: the sudden turn of events. The ferris wheel. Leaving Miri to her destiny with her bio mother. Knowing that their destiny is to be alone, live in the shadows, and that they "weren't able to change"

Now what's left are three episodes, 11 (Justice), 12 (the Hanged Man), and 13 (Death, the Scorpio card, Miri's card)

Death doesn't need to mean actual death, it symbolizes change. If I'm gonna be optimistic, maybe they will be able to change by the end.

And if I'm gonna be really, REALLY optimistic, maybe last episode has an open end, and we'll have a second season, with ten episodes, to end the major arcana.

I guess I am done for tonight. Am I okay? No. Do I need help? Yes.

The Tarot Series - 1 - The Magician

Description: The Magician is one tarot card that is filled with symbolism. The central figure depicts someone with one hand pointed to the sky, while the other hand points to the ground, as if to say "as above, so below". This is a rather complicated phrase, but its summation is that earth reflects heaven, the outer world reflects within, the microcosm reflects the macrocosm, earth reflects God. It can also be interpreted here that the magician symbolizes the ability to act as a go-between between the world above and the contemporary, human world.

On his table, the magician also wields all the suits of the tarot. This symbolizes the four elements being connected by this magician - the four elements being earth, water, air, and fire. The infinity sign indicates the infinite possibilities of creation with the will.

Upright: The Magician is the representation of pure willpower. With the power of the elements and the suits, he takes the potential innate in the fool and molds it into being with the power of desire. He is the connecting force between heaven and earth, for he understands the meaning behind the words "as above so below" - that mind and world are only reflections of one another. Remember that you are powerful, create your inner world, and the outer will follow.

Reversed: When you obtain the Magician reversed, it might mean its time for you to implement some changes. While right side up, the Magician represents true power, the reversed Magician is a master of illusion. The magic that he performs is one of deception and trickery. You may be lured in by the showmanship of his arts, but behind that there may be an intention to manipulate for selfish gain. Getting this card might mean that there is someone who pretends to have your best interests at hand when the opposite is true.

Consider whether this reversed the magician is in your circle, or perhaps might also represent your current state of emotions. It may mean you may become obsessed with power and that might lead to wrong, reckless decisions that will lead to your eventual downfall.

Character: Obi-Wan is wise, and believes in balance above all things, though he is very much a Jedi at heart, his connections to people, Anakin, Ahsoka, Satine, give him a grounded human element. In the reverse, it is just what might happen were Obi-Wan to turn to the Dark Side.

All About Tarot: The Major Arcana

The Emperor

The Emperor, also called "The king", "the green man" or "greenman" but names may vary in different sets. This card is the fifth to pull in an unshuffled deck, being named number 4 in the major arcana, as well is assigned the astrological sign of Aries.

Upright this card often means stability, leadership, bravery, bold action(s), structure, authority, regulation, organization, fatherhood/fatherliness/talk of a father figure or adopting a fatherly role, nearing a new level of mastery, power, strength, success, and several other interpretations.

Reversed this card has associations such as; immaturity, pettiness, rigidity, domination, anger, shying away from the role of a leader or role model someone may be holding you to/you may be offered, abuse of power(especially the power of authority) often from an older/masculine figure in your life, and more.

in general this card may read about, of course, authoritative figures in your life or being one yourself-either reaching that level or shying away from that role, often it mentions a fatherly role or figure whether that be yourself(regardless of your own gender) or someone in your life. This card tends to be read in talk of a persons relationship with their father when pulled in a 3 card spread (past/present/future) but has many different interpretations depending on the reader (this just happens to be one of the most common interpretations of this card).

Common depictions in the art of this card are a king or man of power or stature of some sort and similar to the empress he's often sitting with a crown on his head, facing forward with a sword usually seen in his right hand. more often than not this card tends to depict an elderly man in king's robes with a long white beard.

common colours tend to be reds, yellows and off-whites, while other imagery in the card may be things like the sun setting in the background (or colours in the background representing such), and possibly some depiction of a goat whether that be his throne decorated with goat heads or a goat at his feet. the goat often being a sign of aries, the zodiac this card is aligned with.

if you have more information about this card or questions you'd like to ask, please let me know!
