I was always too focused on the Abe Lincoln beard and Uncle Sam point to realize that G, "The Fool," is actually inspired by traditional charlatans like snake oil salesmen and carnival barkers.
Incidentally, Donald Trump shows up in the Google image search results for those terms, who undoubtedly served as inspiration with the gold aesthetic, self-promotion, and social media presence. G is really such a well-designed character.

Fool tarot lore:
The setting of this card is under a bright sun and a golden sky.
G's VT V-Skill sends out a sun projectile, and he has a golden aesthetic.
High above other mountainous, snow-capped peaks, The Fool is looking blissfully above, enraptured in his own reality
G claims to be President of the World, so he's definitely enraptured in his own reality.
The Fool's impractical clothing, chosen for its fashionable sense, is not the best choice for the mountain road on which he is walking.
G isn't exactly dressed for a street fight.
The Fool remains the most controversial card in the Tarot deck. It is the only card that has a zero on it; the other cards all adhere to the Roman numeral system. The origin of The Fool remains a mystery, with some translations of this card insisting that it is inherently a negative connotation and is more properly labeled "The Idiot."
Everything about G is a mystery.
