I DID just say I don't have absolute favourites on almost anything, and i'm sticking by that - but again, I will also offer an all-time hitter for me that I would consider among the very best, and that's Curse of Dragon. The specific kind of freewheeling post-Gigerisms that Takahashi leaned into are best exemplified in designs like Curse, with it's bizarre body format, almost like a kind of biological aircraft more than a living thing - and a name that immediately invites speculation. Is it a Curse inflicted on a dragon that altered it into this form? Is it itself a being hostile to all draconic life, a "curse" that visits itself upon them? It's wonderful.
