Wayang, or called “Indonesian Shadow Puppet” in another country, is one of my thing since I was a first grader. I never watched the show to be honest, but I keeping up with the story by reading books about it. My favorite one is Book of Mahabharata. It’s well-known about a war between two clans, Pandawa and Kurawa. Where mostly Pandawa is representing a good side, Kurawa as a villain.
As I grow older, reading more books about Wayang from many different perspective, I learned something; the story written in Books of Mahabharata is not as simple as war between good and evil. Every single characters, from both clans, carrying their own good values and also sins. A five brother of Pandawa, have their own huge sins. Even the oldest, Yudistira, wellknown as the wisest man in Pandawa, is actually addicted to gamble. Costed him a whole kingdom at onee of his loss. While Kurawa clan, despite being greedy, cruel and manipulative, actually have some moments of selfless heroism to their families and allies.
Among all characters with their own pros and cons, there is actually one character that really got my attention (yes, you can guess from the title), Gatotkaca. The son of Bima, The king of Pringgadani, the muscle of iron, the bone of steel, the ruler of sky (yes he flies thanks to Antakusuma armor), the wielder of Brajadenta and Brajamusti, and another awesome names with GoT style. In my level-headed opinion, he is one of the strongest, even almost invincible and the bravest character in the story. But he died carried out a suicide mission. He sacrificed himself at War of Barathayuda, took a most powerful weapon, Kontawijayadanu, to his chest, that actually aimed for Pandawa brothers, so the rest could survived and won the war. Compared to other characters, he didn’t last longer but he had the most heroic, honorable death.
Brought into video game.
I actually realized, if one character from traditional story and old tales brought into a video game, it’s just actually a game developer’s effort to get more players from certain countries. But crap, they got me as well. Montoon, with their Mobile Legends Bang Bang have bring Gatotkaca to their roster, and became an excuse for me to play that game. I already deleted my games and start to working on more useful stuff, but I still playing this game in my free time (yes, I’m a boy trapped in adult’s body). But not that often, so I can avoid noobs joining my teams.
Gatotkaca is my only favorite game character, and I think the developer is doing a good job depicting him in the game. He built as a Tanker, and and no other roles suits him better. Just like in the real story, he really can take a hit, he always taunting his opponents to beating himself, so his allies can do the offensive job. Such a brave and heroic act. But like the other tanker, it’s rather difficult to him to get a last hit kill.
One last thing. If I’m being ranty, I would suggest that they better make Gatotkaca levitating above the surface instead of walking around by foot. He only has one second high jump with his ultimate, but I don’t think that’s enough, because he is actually a flyer. I guess that’s it, thanks to Montoon for wasting my damn times and please get those goddamned noobs out of my sight!
