-Master of nearly Every Weapon same as Gilgamesh

-new Godstaff skin shows him with 6-arms much like Gilgamesh

-Fought Fiora on a Bridge along with multiple other warriors much akin to the the story of Benkei, a famous character in the Japanese mythologies and chronicles of the Genpei War. A powerful warrior monk said to have personally defeated 200 men in every battle he engaged in and said to have had the strength of demons, Benkei's introduction sees him set out to collect 1,000 weapons, and situates himself on a bridge, challenging any warrior who comes by. It was this story that Gilgamesh was based off of.

-In Final Fantasy Gilgamesh's main goal is seeking other strong warriors and to challenge himself. Guess what Jax's goals are in LoL...

Both Jax and Gilgamesh wear similar outfits hiding their face behind a mask and cowl

I'm not sure if this is all coincidence or if Riot is making subtle hints to the character but I think its really cool!

Also on a side note I really think Riot should take this chance and make a "Blood Moon Jax" skin that plays full homage to the character and their shared similarities especially since the red+white color scheme and Kabuki mask would fit right at home.

I don’t think Gilgamesh from FF was the first to use any of these traits

Bloodmoon Jax some day in the future could work. But please not the very next Bloodmoon line.

He is getting the god staff skin now, I would prefer to give the Bloodmoon skins to other champs, since I expect them to come out in a few months and I don't want Jax to get 2 skins so close to each other.

So: in general yes, just not next year.
