:...I think you might've taken the wrong impression of the Jizo statue's depiction of ''Super Mario Odyssey''. Statues of {{wp|Kṣitigarbha}}/Jizo are commonly modeled after Buddhist monks, and are not defined by their short height or having red scarves. In fact, Jizo is commonly depicted with a robe, a bald head, ''looong'' earlobes, a {{wp|Bindi (decoration)|bindi}} (that red spot on the forehead common in Buddhism), and the staff he carries has a specific design with a ring attached to it. The Jizo statues in ''Odyssey'' (and even ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' on behalf of [[Statue Mario]]) checks all of those, but Art...? Art doesn't have most of those features. His short gray body doesn't resemble a robe in the slightest, he doesn't have ears at all, let alone long earlobes, and the only red spots I see on his face are [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlushSticker on his cheeks]. The staff he carries with him on the ride does ''kinda'' resemble Jizo's staff, but it's got a red/orange orb instead of a ring, so it might just be a coincidence... in fact, looking closer at it through [https://www.spriters-resource.com/fullview/159848/ sprite sheets], I think that "staff" might actually be some sort of brush. Art's headgear is also something I wouldn't typically associate with Jizo or Buddhism either, being some sort of pointed hat resembling a brush or a dollop of paint with a white brim (or I guess orange in ''Smooth Moves''). I don't know ''what'' Art is supposed to be (aside from being partially themed after art tools), but I don't think he was intended to be a Jizo statue at all. Both him and Deco are named after {{wp|Art Deco}} in ''all'' languages, which has nothing to do with Jizo statues either. Since they're both named after a specific thing like that, I would sooner believe they're both supposed to be (based on) things that compliment each other (in a [[Dribble & Spitz]] kind of way), and I don't think much about Deco's appearance would compliment Jizo all that much. {{User:Arend/sig}} 21:13, August 19, 2024 (EDT) | :...I think you might've taken the wrong impression of the Jizo statue's depiction of ''Super Mario Odyssey''.
