Hmmm ... so you are thinking that we'd emulate the Sanrio deck and have a set "cast" for each suit? I'd been leaning toward just using whichever scenes or situations suited the cards' meanings best. Gat is bound both by obligation and by his own inability to decide to do what he thinks is right - hence my association with the Eight of Swords, which includes ideas such as "doubting anything you do will help" and "staying in a limited situation."
One of the R-W tarot guides I have points out that as you go through the Swords (and the Staves), the situation gets worse and worse. By the Nine of Swords, you have the woman waking from a nightmare and weeping, with the 9 swords hanging over her head - and in the 10 of Swords, the threatening swords have hit home, and penetrated the victim. I'd go for Kanan in the prison for the Nine, and Hakkai dying on the path, just before Gojyo shows up, for the Ten.
