Talk:Marco Bott

"His death serves to illuminate [...]"
His death doesn't really serve any purpose once you notice 16-year-olds die a soldier's death on daily basis in the world of SnT.

His death actually servers a great purpose, and that is a development of other characters, especially Jean. By the way, this is wrong place for your statement, talk pages are for discussing changes to the article. 18:59, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

That said, his death also serves the purpose to illuminate the fact that '16-year-olds die a soldier's death on daily basis in the world of SnT', which is a pretty harsh thing to realize in itself. Also, it's probably worth mentioning, The Italian, Spanish, and Portugese 'Marco'  is largely agreed to be a form of 'Mark', or 'Marcus', which itself is derived from Mars, the Roman god of war (or to be 'dedicated/consecrated to [him]). I've also seen it with meanings including 'hammer', 'guardian', 'manly' (from 'mas'), and 'soft/tender' (from Greek 'malakos'). 174.63.121.51 01:00, September 11, 2013 (UTC)

Shouldn't it also be included that Hajime stated he never intended for Marco go die in volume 4, but because he didn't consider him interesting enough he killed him off. From that we can also say the meaning of his name changed Yugioh z (talk) 23:09, October 7, 2014 (UTC)
