Killer is Dead

The game is broadly centered on "blood", libidinal energy. Blood is the energy from the moon, the opposite of the sun. The Moon and the Sun meet each other on Earth. The Sun is control and order, immobility, whereas the Moon is the moving violence of libido. Mondo is between both, the gameplay being in the path of David, where he moves with the Moon in executing violence, but under the whims of the Sun, under control of men like Bryan and his samurai friend, who subordinate the Moon to the Sun in order for their ends. David's line that Mondo would need to kill Mika to rule the sun, Mika is in this same way, part of the Sun where she revives Mondo, ie, putting blood back into the hands of that which is controlled by the Solar force of Byran. The other side of this is that of Scarlett, who is most likely the Dream Woman judging by Scarlett being only two inches taller (perhaps due to heels) and having nearly identical voice and hair, that of giving into being a mere conduit for Blood, in the case of Scarlett specifically, in giving it to her as some sort of Goddess, as is the obvious symbolism of her design in Episode 11. At the end, Mondo becomes King of the Earth, where he is now in control, able to "play the game freely", aka, fully indulge to his fullest whims in the violence of Blood without the interference of the Solar force of the ordered/linear game.
