[SPLIT LIP]

So, it doesn't really ahve to do with anything I'm watching now, but when I was watchign Ryuki I couldn't help but think Ouja was familiar. I didn't say anything since I assumed I'm wrong, but then it hit me. I've seen a cobra-styled bad guy with a sword who talks in a quite threatening tone before.

I'm pretty sure Ouja was homaged as a monster once, specifically the cobra Imagin Wing Form kicked the shit out of in Den-O's movie. I'm not kidding, the voice sounds familiar, the designs are even similar with the head sharing design elements, and the torso having the cobra's frilly business as a paldron.

EDIT: And a quick window-dive into Wikipedia does not despute this. Hot diggity, as if I needed another reason to love Wing Form it beats up Ouja alegories for me before I even knew I didn't like him. And as much as I dislike Ouja, the actor is confirmed as an even bigger cool guy.
