Caerleon's Legacy 20 years of Drakengard

Drakengard fact: In the english dubbing, the voice actor for the mysterious, deep-voiced entity controlling Manah is the same guy who voices Cosmo in Fairly Oddparents.

one, manah, and the hero complex trope

Let's take a look into my favorite Drakengard 2 character and my fourth fav Intoner. Be aware that there will be some slight spoilers for both Drakengard 2 + 3.

Manah, after 18 years since she nearly ended the world, is left alive to carry the weight of her sins. After losing her memories, she has witnessed the oppression the Knights of the Seal have placed on the people of Midgard. Thus beginning Manah's plan to become a rebellion leader by destroying the key districts (aka the seals just like she did in the first game). It's obvious to previous players that Manah's still in some possession by the Watchers to destroy humanity again, yet she is blinded by her goal to help save people mixed in with her need to be loved. She came from an abusive neglectful family, with her mother verbally and physically abusive for not having magical powers as well as an omen of doom. Obviously, this stems from Seere feeling guilty that he was a bystander to Manah's torment, with her being deprived of any love of some sort. She desparately seeks love to assure herself that she isn't a burden, whether that love comes from the Watchers, the people she wants to liberate, or Nowe who comes into her life later on.

Now, onto One. I personally think she's supposed to be a self-aware or a Yoko Taro take of the typical JRPG protagonist. She sets herself up with wanting to save the world, which she does by defeating the lords of midgard to bring the peaceful reign of the Intoners. She lives to save the lives of others much like Manah. Even if she has to kill those who stand in her way as well as all of humanity if she lets the Flower take over her. One is a very compassionate person too, she cares for her sisters despite the awful things they do, her dragon partner Gabriella/Gabriel, and her brother. Yet despite the just and caring front she puts on for others through her leadership, she is also doubtful of her plans, especially when Zero has to kill her in the end. Her pride also gets in the way as well, such as not revealing to her sisters what their true purpose is or why Zero has to kill them.

Overall, both Manah and One have their similarities within their goals, even with their own aspects of love that prevails, albeit in different ways.
