Today, I want to focus on the iconic pattern of the magic circle in "Mocha Girl Sakura".
Magic circle often appears in animation works, especially in Japanese animation works, which has certain religious significance.
One of the patterns that must be mentioned in the magic circle is the six-pointed star array. The six-pointed star is also called the big satellite. People who have seen the Holocaust movies in World War II should be familiar with this design. The six-pointed star, also known as the big satellite, is a symbol of the Israeli flag.
After World War II, Israel returned to the motherland. The six-pointed star, a big satellite, is printed on its national flag. Since then, this big satellite has become a symbol of the State of Israel.
In Japanese anime, a mysterious word incantation is a piece of paper full of incantations. In China, it's the abbreviation of characters, and it's also something that animation directors appear.
Sometimes these patterns are symbols of status, such as the forehead guard of Muye Village of Naruto. And the code name l in the death note.
In the new century, this symbol has special significance among evangelical warriors. The sign in the gospel warrior of the new century shows that the leaves on it are figs. What does this mean?
According to the Bible, Adam and Eve were ashamed of being naked because they ate the fruits of good and evil and covered their bodies with fig leaves.
In this cartoon, the fig leaf, its symbol, is only half covered, that is, they think they are right, but they want to cover up their ugliness. It is equivalent to a state of contradiction.
