The first picture in between the introduction from that article is corrupted.
Also, for Michael & Gabriel: "They're named after famous Christian saints." It's angels, no?

Mambo is based on the ship from Space Manbow. I figured the name was just a play on that, didn't know about the fish though

Gabriel, Michael (and Raphael, Uriel and some others) are Archangels. Only Gabriel, Michael and Raphael are venerated by catholics.
Gabriel is the archangel that serves as the messenger for god. I don't know exactly what Michael did.
"Don't think so, there's no way to turn from human into angel, they're entirely different beings in Christian mythology. "
That's not necessarily true. Remember that before Noah, demons (which are basically the opposite of angels), started to have sex with humans which resulted in lot of freak giants wandering the earth (reason why god wanted to drown the earth). I don't think they would have been able to have sex with humans if they weren't able to turn into humans. And if demons can do it, sure can angels.
Also, after Jesus died and resurrected, he turned from human into angel.

And if demons can do it, sure can angels. Oh yeah? Go and watch Dogma, wise-ass! Also, after Jesus died and resurrected, he turned from human into angel. Never heard of Jesus being referred to as Angel. Son of God? Yes. Part of the Trinity? Yes. Angel? Never heard something like that.

They are all angels man. Demons were also once angels. Jesus' angel name is Emmanuel even.
Although, I'm saying angels as in their spiritual form. If angel is part of a hierarchy, then no, he's not an angel.

Researched a bit, and it seems Immanuel is supposed to be one of many titles for Jesus. Something like "what people shall call him". And in the real world, most demons were gods once. Only gods from other religions.

The Catholic school I went to as a child was called St. Michael's, so... For additional support: www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=279Daijoubu is working on an Otomedius article and it is shaping up to be super rad. I would really like to get together the money to get a J X360 for this...

I know the feeling ^^ Almost overhauled myself importing a J360 and Otomedius for 400$ just so i could play that freaking game But if seen it in action on a HD projector at a Friend of mine ... i was drooling in an instant, absolutely Gorgeous. It's just to bad that there isn't some kind of freeloader on the X360

So angels could be made saints by the pope, too... I'd still argue that their status as archangels is what's important for the creation of those pigs, but, anyway, I just wanted to report the broken picture, which has been fixed.

Almost overhauled myself importing a J360 and Otomedius for 400$ just so i could play that freaking game They're only under $300 from play-asia. Of course, the $70+ shipping charges will bring it to close to 400. =/ If you guys to plan on playing it though, you better get a copy now since the initial print comes with a DLC card that lets you use the Vic Viper pilot in her school uniform. They still have a bunch from play-asia, so get them before they go.

Why are you all so keen on Otomedius? I played it a couple of times at an arcade in Tôkyô and thought it was so utterly mediocre that it's basically a disgrace to Konami's other cute em ups, namely Twinbee and Parodius. The only good thing was the RPGesque leveling system.
