 Many of you have probably played, or at least heard about the cult classic called, Earthbound. For those of you who have played, you may remember, spoiler alert, the final boss fight against Gaius. He has been universally listed as one of the scariest and creepiest bosses ever. What if I told you his third form is an outline of a fetus? The creator of the game, Shijisato Itoi, once had a moment in his childhood that ruined it. When he was young, he accidentally walked into the wrong movie theater. He walked in on the movie, the Japanese policeman and the dismembered beauty. He thought he was watching a rape. When he created Earthbound, he supposedly designed Gaius' third form as, mostly, an outline of a fetus. The scene may also support some of Gaius' dialogue throughout the fight, like, it hurts, or, I feel good. He also pauses between most of his words, so you can process that too. That is the supposed backstory to Gaius. The whole game itself is also based off of Itoi's childhood. When he saw the supposed rape scene, he was no longer a child. He had matured. The story of messin' Earthbound is him gaining power and friends. Once he encounters Gaius and defeats him, he matures. The whole game of Earthbound is one whole metaphor for growing up.
