This would be a better plot swerve than the Black King simply being Jesus. The Black King is currently trying to enlighten and give advancement to the "inferior" races, much like Dr. He saw that trying to save humanity is what lead to his death so he decided to change tactics by saving another group that is similarly persecuted in this new world he lives in. King, who was a reverend and follower of Christianity/Jesus, he gained the powers of Christ. Ends seem to get powers that are somehow related to how they lived in their previous life. He was collected by EASY and turned into the Black King. King preached equality for all people and for his efforts he died a violent death, killed by an assassins bullet. Considering that EASY reaches to people who were "rejected" (or abandoned) by humanity, which in a sense seems to be what Murasaki advocates to - smiling when Toyo says they won't be pawns and showing displeasure when he talks about fate - it does sound like a lover's quarrel of a cosmic scale but at the same time, it does seem like she is the one who is far more emotionally invested in this, whereas Murasaki acts dismissive of her so it could be that he was the one rejecting or abandoning her (take whatever meaning you want with it).The world under their supervision, just happens to be the poor chessboard the pair are battling on. The animosity between Easy and Murasaki isn't like two deities trying to kill each other, but rather, two deities trying to impress some sort of philosophical belief upon the other. The whole deal with Drifters and Ends is just EASY taking out her frustration on Murasaki, getting him to admit that she is right about something they had a disagreement with. That's all I got so far, but it's interesting to think about considering the whole black and white color scheming of Easy and Murasaki.ĮASY and Murasaki are having a lover's spat.Easy is first introduced interacting with Murasaki, as if she wanted to have a civil conversation, but was too tsundere to get it right. Losing an exchange is considered detrimental to a player, due to the value of the rook. That said, there is such thing as an exchange, where a rook is taken by losing a minor piece such as a bishop or knight. They are also considered ideal for checking the King. Nobunaga and Mitsuhide are the Rooks, who in the opening of the game tend to not move at all or only very little - often hanging back, but in the ending are considered to be incredibly valuable with it's ability to move unobstructed by pawns and control a large area of squares. Both Hijikata and Toyohisa seem to want to die in battle for the betterment of their cause. Interestingly, there's such thing as a Queen sacrifice to sacrifice the Queen and gain a more favorable position. Hijikata and Toyohisa represent the Queens, the most powerful and dangerous piece in a game that are useful for harassing the enemy and obtaining an early checkmate. Abe no Seimei doesn't seem to take an active hand in leading the Drifters but does bring them together and unite them under one cause, and the Black King is the life of his army. It's an important piece, but is restricted in it's movement. The Ends, Drifters and collateral all represent pieces on a chess boardI don't have a lot of evidence for this, but i'll do my best.Ībe no Seimei and the Black King are, of course, the Kings.
