KANEKO’S CRIB NOTES LVIII: GREATEST HITTITE OF THE ‘70s

There’s little rhyme or reason to Kaneko’s influences sometimes, not that it’s a bad thing. Case in point: Shin Megami Tensei’s version of the Hittite serpent Illuyanka appears to be wearing the mask of Phantom of the Paradise’s eponymous Phantom. We know what you’re thinking: what the hell is Phantom of the Paradise? A 1974 flop directed by noted filmmaker Brian De Palma (The Untouchables, Scarface), Phantom channels the same musical camp as The Rocky Horror Picture Show, only its relative obscurity means your friends won’t ruin it for you. Pardon the personal anecdote.

Anyway, The Phantom’s beaked mask is quite distinct and Illuyanka’s shares its shape and details right down to the ridges and stylized eyelashes. The Phantom’s mask seems to have made a splash in Japan overall, as its appearance can also potentially be seen in the helmet worn by Berserk’s Griffith/Femto; however, there’s no question that Kaneko was copying Phantom’s original, as Berserk’s differs in some key ways.

Many thanks to doctorchevlong for this crib!
