Let's glazed sone male brawler here ,they deserve more justice.

​

Let's start with something off topic ish-At first I wasn't really planned to do him,Sam and Bolt the first pick that comes in my mind but the more I think about it, the more I realised Fang is surprisingly,an interesting brawler both mechanic and Lore wise, especially when it is based of the golden era of the kung fu film, which as someone who lives in where Kung fu films original from ,Allow me to unravel their legacy to the internet alongside with Fang's character.

​

​

Also a side detour but can we have a moment of appreciation for how cool those reference and call back to Chinese martial arts and urban legend from his debut animation are ? because I don't think it got respect enough.

​

Most importantly,we have years of the tiger-which is basically the Chinese version of zodiac-you know in Greek mythology we have 12 Zodiac representing how people could be grouped into 12 different types, which each one representing their own unique trait and aspect . In China's we also have our own set of Mythology that's the 12-year animal zodiac cycle. Instead of 12 month in a year ,every animal governs one full calendar year, and people born in that year are believed to inherit the creature’s core characteristics,and why is that important to this essay you may ask?

Part 1: Fang's Origin breakdown

​

before I answering the questionis literally a text book example of what a Hot-blooded protagonist would be,a perfect self-insert of a heated heart youth, which is-say with me-the exactly target audience of brawl stars. But WAIT, there's more to it.

​

You know why he's a well written character to me? because the whole season were built for his entrance, the whole years of the tiger thing might sound like some random bullshit to you but no, it's literally made for Fang.

​

Fang is a Martial arts enthusiast who's working on a theatre alongside his friends Maisie and Buster,even tho he's probably just someone background sidekick character in the theatre he's working on he still had a heart of a youth,and you could definitely feel the passion he had in the animation.

​

​

How's that association with Fang?

​

Traditional Chinese folklore defines people born in the Year of the Tiger as bold, passionate, loyal, naturally eager for the spotlight, and uncomplicated with hidden ulterior motives, such trait traits perfectly lines up with how Fang reactions throughout the animation:A simple-minded person who yearns to show off his skills and a fearless warrior in heart. He has a very loyal and close friends. And every emotion he feels ? they're all worn openly on his face-excitement, pride, frustration ,he hides none of it.

​

If Starr Nova is what a textbook definition of girl's dream would look like, then Fang would be a wet dream for boy, like ,he got everything a man wants, is muscular and fits,some diehard friends, a stable and friendly job that you like and enjoy working on, and a passion for martial arts

​

​

also like, for some reason re-watching the first Fang animation really get me hard- like the weird way of hard? I swear I'm not gay ,no I 'm not gay.
