==Etymology== | |||
*Nelgel's name is a reference to '''[[Wikipedia:Nergal|Nergal]]''', the Mesopotamian god of the underworld and lord of the dead. His Japanese title, [[Wiktionary:冥王|Meiō]] (冥王), means "dark king" and "king of the Underworld" and is used to refer to the gods [[Wikipedia:Hades|Hades]]/[[Wikipedia:Pluto (mythology)|Pluto]] from ancient Greco-Roman mythology or [[Wikipedia:Yama|Yama]], a deity of death and the underworld who features prominently in Hindu and Buddhist mythology. In Japan, Yama is known by the name Enma. | |||

*Nelgel's humanoid appearance is similar to [[Orgodemir]]'s, as well as other characters designed by [[Akira Toriyama]], like [http://chrono.wikia.com/wiki/Magus Magus] from ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrono_Trigger Chrono Trigger]'' and [http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Whis Whis] from ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Ball Dragon Ball]''. | *Nelgel's humanoid appearance is similar to [[Orgodemir]]'s, as well as other characters designed by [[Akira Toriyama]], like [http://chrono.wikia.com/wiki/Magus Magus] from ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrono_Trigger Chrono Trigger]'' and [http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Whis Whis] from ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Ball Dragon Ball]''. | ||
*Nelgel's outfit is similar to clothing worn by nobility and royalty in western medieval Europe, particularly his rounded shoulders with slashes. The [[Wikipedia:Death (personification)|Grim Reaper]], who is the personification of Death, has been depicted since the Middle Ages as wielding a scythe, much like Nelgel. | |||
