Symbols in X/1999

There will be more here eventually...I'm still collecting information - and rereading my thesis - so I'll put up what I already know then scour the school databases in a weeks time...

The Lotus on Nataku's forehead
The God/Warrior Nataku

The Lotus is a Buddhist symbol of innocence and purity, and was apparently the first flower to bloom at the beginning of the world. This has a certain meaning of the character of 'Nataku', who is technically pure and innocent - he kills because he was created to do it and knows nothing else.

All I know of Nataku is that he was either an ancient Chinese god or warrior. He had no soul, but a human body, so again this means he is very similar to CLAMP's 'Nataku'.
