Butterfly of Entangled Lives [羅生蝶]

Butterfly of Entangled Lives [羅生蝶] is a non-fightable Abnormality.

While it does not make an actual appearance in-game, it is featured in its E.G.O Great Trichiliocosm [三千大世界].

Appearance

The Butterfly of Entangled Lives' body has a shape somewhat resembling the pupal or chrysalis stage of a butterfly and is entirely made out of interwoven, red strands. Its wings are small compared to the size of its body, and lack any scales, appearing only as membranes.

Its body is encased in a large, spherical white sac, reminiscent of a fetus within an amniotic sac, which the Abnormality's strands are connected to in a vein-like fashion.

E.G.O

The Great Trichiliocosm [三千大世界] E.G.O is extracted from Butterfly of Entangled Lives [羅生蝶].

Yi Sang and Ryōshū's E.G.O were added in the Season 7 Battle Pass and are obtainable through the Dispenser from Season 8 onward.

  E.G.O Background

Trivia

• The term, "Entangled Life/Lives" (羅生, らしょう, Rashō), is a reference to the Rashōmon (羅生門), a gate in Kyoto which was infamous for acting as a hideout for thieves and a dumping ground for abandoned corpses and unwanted babies during the Heian period.
  • The original gate's name was Rajōmon (羅城門, "city wall gate"), with the middle kanji later being changed to the near-rhyming kanji for life for the title of a Noh play. Ryūnosuke Akutagawa would later use the play as the basis for his famous short story of the same name.
• The Trichiliocosm, or Trisāhasramahāsāhasralokadhātu, is a Buddhist cosmological concept referring to a billion-fold universe cluster.
  • This is reflected in Yi Sang's E.G.O, where it shows a mirror within another, and so on and so forth, alongside his Awakening quote.
• The dresses worn by Yi Sang and Ryōshū in their Great Trichiliocosm E.G.O are traditional dresses.
  • Ryōshū's resembles a Shinto wedding dress, accompanied by a wataboshi (a hood with a similar purpose as a wedding veil). The kimono worn by Ryōshū is reminiscent of an shiromuku (白無垢; "white-pure innocence") over-kimono, one of the two types worn by brides in these weddings.
  • Yi Sang wears a gat, a traditional Korean hat worn by men, and a cheollik, a style of Hanbok worn by military officers and royal escorts during the Joseon dynasty.
