Yohualli becomes an Aztec Batman figure while the story centers Mexica society, Tenochtitlan, and the arrival of Spanish conquistadors.

Yohualli's father is murdered by Spanish conquistadors, sending him toward a heroic identity and retaliatory struggle.
Hernán Cortés is presented as a Two-Face analogue and Yoka as a Joker analogue within the Aztec-conquest narrative.
