Funny Valentine (Jojo's Bizarres Adventure) - Intocável
Chrono
The Unyielding Patriotism of Funny Valentine
Chrono's song "Funny Valentine (Jojo's Bizarres Adventure) - Intocável" delves into the complex character of Funny Valentine from the popular manga and anime series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The lyrics are a deep dive into the psyche of Valentine, a man driven by an intense love for his country, America, and a desire to see it rise to unparalleled greatness. This patriotic fervor is instilled in him by his father, who died honorably fighting for the nation. The scars he bears, both physical and emotional, symbolize his unwavering commitment to his homeland.
The song also explores the supernatural elements that define Valentine's character. The power of D4C (Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap) allows him to traverse dimensions, making him nearly invincible. This ability is metaphorically linked to his unyielding determination and the lengths he will go to achieve his goals. The lyrics paint a picture of a man who is willing to engage in morally dubious actions, including torture and murder, to protect and elevate his country. This dark side is balanced by his belief in the righteousness of his cause, making him a complex and multifaceted character.
Cultural references to the American flag, the concept of legitimate defense, and the idea of a 'Love Train' further enrich the narrative. The song captures the essence of Valentine's character arc in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, where he organizes the Steel Ball Run race to collect the parts of a holy corpse, believing it will grant him ultimate power. His actions are driven by a mix of patriotism, ambition, and a belief in his destiny to lead America to greatness. The recurring theme of being 'untouchable' and 'insuperable' underscores his belief in his invincibility, both as a leader and as a man with supernatural powers.
