I LOVE CHARACTER ANALYSES

I LOVE CHARACTER ANALYSES

I don’t talk about character analysis often, but considering I’m writing an anthropology and I haven’t seen anyone talk about this; I don’t see why not. This is all my opinion as well, you’re more than welcome to disagree.

I know people often see Archer to be submissive and subservient but I personally don’t see it that way (although, subservient sure but not entirely.) I don’t doubt that Archer is loyal and devoted to Giovanni, nor do I doubt that Archer was upset at his abandonment. However, there is one panel that sticks out significantly.

Specifically this panel, when Archer is telling who their plan benefits— there are 2 significant factors. He puts both team Rocket and himself before Giovanni.

You’d think if he was submissively loyal he would put Giovanni first in his mind, but that’s not the case. Archer has his own agenda in mind with the attribute that it benefits Giovanni as well; when in reality it does not. I don’t doubt that what he does is for Giovanni’s honor, but I frankly think it’s only for Giovanni’s honor and the notoriety of Team Rocket; not for Giovanni entirely as a whole.

I can explain my opinion more indepth, but I’d rather let it wait for when I finish my anthropology because it would include other manga panels. In the meantime, feel free to do what you will with the panel. And if you disagree, you are more than welcomed too; there is no definite answer after all.
