2246. Mandalore's abandoned child (Part 2) [By the way, let's learn about the customs of the Mandalorian]
"Listen to me..." Jango-Fett walked over and wanted to say something, but Bo-Katan-Kryze pointed a gun at his head with his backhand, interrupting his words.
"Shut up!" She said coldly, "I asked this kid to take off his helmet. It has nothing to do with you."
A clicking sound came from the mechanical connection. Boba Fett-Fett had pressed the buttons on both sides of the helmet and took off the full-coverage helmet. Under the helmet, there is a young face with curly hair, dark skin, and thick lips. It is almost the same model as Jango-Fett.
Although his eyebrows were still a little immature, his face was full of determination at this moment. And the most important thing is that there is no trace of transformation on him.
At this time, Jango-Fett also took off their helmets and came over and said, "I did not require them to always wear helmets. Complying with the 'Six Actions' (Six Actions) is our only code of conduct."
"Tell me, what are the six elements." Bo-Katan-Kryze said with Boba Fett-Fett.
The pistol in her hand was still pointed at his head, and without the protection of the helmet, she could shoot him directly in the head.
"Wear Mand'alor's armor, speak Mand'alor's words, raise Mand'alor's son; protect the family, dedicate to the clan, and obey the call." Boba Fett-Fett answered very fluently.
"So, have you done it?" Bo-Katan-Kryze asked coldly.
"I don't have any children yet. Apart from that, I swear to follow the Six Elements as my guideline." Boba Fett-Fett replied.
The so-called Six Elements, also called Resol'nare in the Mand'alor language, are very simple six principles and are the core rules of all the Mandalorian since ancient times. Since the racial composition of the Mandalorian is quite complex, all people who follow the Six Elements will be regarded as a member of Mand'alor. Because of this, the six elements actually cover a very wide range. After all, different races have different habits and customs, so it is impossible to restrict them with a strict rule.
Jango-Fett, the reason why when joining the Clone Army plan of Count Dooku, he put forward an additional requirement to have a clone that has not undergone growth acceleration as his son, is actually a manifestation of his compliance with the Six Elements.
However, because the meaning of the six elements is very broad, there are many interpretations. For example, some clans among the Mandalorian interpreted the first of the six lines, "Wearing the armor of Mand'alor", to mean that the helmet should never be taken off. As for New Mandalorian, headed by Satine-Kryze, their interpretation of this article is that when they need to fight, they wear the uniform Mandalorian armor.
The symbolic meaning of the helmet is actually completely different in the Mandalorian ancient tradition. In the ancient Mandalorian Crusaders period, helmets were only meaningful to the Mand'alor who ruled the entire the Mandalorian. For them, the Mand'alor helmet was equivalent to a crown.
Again, Mand'alor here refers to the leader of the entire the Mandalorian.
Therefore, wearing a helmet or not actually doesn't matter in the Mandalorian's culture, it's just a different interpretation of the six elements. But the reason why many the Mandalorian wear helmets most of the time is actually just a habit, or a tribute to Mand'alor.
(By the way, in the "The Mandalorian" episode, Bo-Katan-Kryze first called the armor-smith's group 'Children of the Watch' a cult, that is This reason - because they are indeed a branch of Death Watch, there is nothing wrong with saying that Death Watch is a cult. In addition, their traditions are indeed better than the normal traditions of the Mandalorian. It is much more twisted and extreme, and Kryze family is one of the reasonable and legal Mandalore Ruling Families, so Bo-Katan-Kryze. is indeed qualified to sneer at the rules of Children of the Watch as she shows. For example, helmets, Darksaber, etc.)
(As for the tradition of Darksaber, it is just a new rule that has continued in Death Watch for more than forty years. Except for Death Watch, other the Mandalorian do not recognize this thing at all. Of course, if you really want to say the Mandalorian There is something in 's culture that everyone must surrender to, and it does exist, and that is Mand'alor's helmet. Of course, this is only useful in the Mandalorian Crusaders era, and this is how Mandalore the Indomitable ascended to the throne.)
Therefore, the same six lines, with different interpretations, show very different rules. In today's era, the six lines actually have more symbolic meaning than practical meaning.
Hearing Boba Fett-Fett's fluent answers, Bo-Katan-Kryze snorted coldly and said, "You did train your son to look like him. It's a pity that his father is just a despicable traitor."
"Boba Fett-Fett is my only hope. I have carefully trained him according to the standards of the Mandalorian so far, just to continue the tradition of the Mandalorian. My It is true that he has abandoned the six elements and no longer has this qualification, but Boba Fett is different, he is a real the Mandalorian," said Jango-Fett.
Bo-Katan-Kryze was silent for a while, then snorted coldly, put away the pistol, turned around and asked, "Why did you come to me?"
"Pre-Vizsla is massacring the people on Mandalore. I can't sit back and watch. But our power alone is far from stopping his actions. I'm here to ask for help." Jango-Fett said.
"Hmph, just go find Duchy of Dawn and send a fleet over directly. Then everything will be solved." Bo-Katan-Kryze said coldly.
"If I do this, Mandalore will only become more confused. The Mandalorian's problem can only be solved by the Mandalorian. Pre-Vizsla, he touched the bottom line twice..." Jango-Fett raised two fingers, "The first time, thirty years ago, he used Jedi Knight in Galidrong Campaign to massacre our soldiers. The second time, he colluded with the unknown mastermind and massacred our people. Because of these two incidents, Pre-Vizsla must be executed."
"So you came to me because you wanted me to stand up and let the Mandalorian resist and shed more blood?" Bo-Katan-Kryze's tone was still cold.
"I came to you because I hope to serve you as my master and to be driven by you. Then, we will fight Pre-Vizsla together. After that, I would rather make my own decision and end my blasphemous life." Jango-Fett said seriously.
As he spoke, he put his right fist on his chest, saluted solemnly, and said loudly, "This is the way! (This is the way!)"
