>Was once a "sage" who spoke up against the real or percieved corruption of Gaiseric's empire (that is portrayed through Greco-Roman aestetics at least, and seems to just BE the fantasy Roman Empire at most)>Was tortured to death by the empire>Reborn as a divine being leading the host of "angels" that decimate the empire and cause its permanent destruction>A thousand years later, he is indirectly worshipped by the religion that is just, flatly, a crude caricature of the Catholic Church and has the history rewritten in his favorIs Void supposed to be... Jesus? But why would Kentaro Miura hate Jesus so much as to portray him as an abomination that is the overarching villain of the entire series?I would get hating on Jesus if you're, like, Mexican Aztek descendant or a German Neo-Nazi pagan, but Miura was a Jap, so I am honestly baffled.
>>291933527Miura is right. Greco-roman civilization almost achieved industrialization and their scientific advancements were matched only 1000 years later when religion get much weaker
>>291933527https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_and_violencehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_fascismhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_terrorism
>>291933527Because Christianity is Western and is a foreign reilgion to Japs. And Miura inherited the JRPG traditions of depicting Christianity-based fictional religions as an "outsider", full of mysticism, and like religious institutions in their own country-kinda corrupt and potentially dangerous.How is this new?
>>291933527Christians dropped two nukes on Japan and firebombed Kyoto
>>291933527>but Miura was a Jap, so I am honestly baffled.Have you ever tried reading a history book? How is it surprising for a Japanese to hate Kirishitans?
>>291933670Do you think the kind of person who would make a post like OP has ever read a history book? If it weren't for tankobon, I'd question if he's read a book at all.
>>291933601For a Jap dude to hate on Christianity, let alone Jesus himself, for all of that would be a big case of a kettle calling the pot black, though.
>>291933527He's the ultimate nihilist. He seen what happens when man is left to his own devices and thought fuck that.Also is it just me or is Gaiseric some kind of ex Godhand? Dude knows an awful lot about their ceremonies and rules for someone that's only been around for 1000 years. My headcanon is he was reincarnated in to the real world, brought the world together in Midland, and was thrown out when Void ascended leading to his Astral form and Physical form being separated.
>>291933527no one likes 'em
>>291933617Japanese created,published and animated rent a girlfriend
>>291933527It all comes back to Oda Nobunaga dyingJapan was set into centuries long decline after that due Nobunagas attitude to reasonable yet cautionous adoption of foreign customs and ideas was shunned and outlawedJapanese couldve had gun fu by 1900s
>>291935928You got a point kek
>>291933601>wikipediaopinion discarded
>>291933527Are newfags really this obnoxious?
>>291933527The nips just think Christian imagery is cool and exotic, there's no deep meaning behind it.
>>291936219>opinion
>>291936469Yes, people who use wikipedia as their source hardly ever have an actual opinion, let alone an actual thought in their heads, but there's no need to be rude about it.
>>291933617They really deserved it though. The Japanese were ruthless subhuman animals in WW2.
>>291935082Yeah, that's why He is the God of the largest religion in the world and highly regarded in many other religions.
>>291936863>people who use wikipedia as their source hardly ever have an actual opinionSource?
>>291936944I saw it on a dream
>>291933527do jesusfags think only Jesus got tortured by the empire or something? Is that really the only thing that pops up in your head with that backstory?
>>291933563>Greco-roman civilization almost achieved industrializationNot really. The economics and politics of the classical world just wasn't geared for it.
>>291935928truly humanity's all time greatest act of evil
>>291933527Bro that's the alien from Mars Attacks
when is the next chapter?
>>291933527>abomination that is the overarching villain of the entire series?He isnt though, he is merely a servant of the final boss
>>291937278>do jesusfags think only Jesus got tortured by the empire or something?Of course he wasn't. He, however, was the only guy who got tortured to death by an empire, then posthumously got his revenge on it by becaming a chief deity in a cult that both took over and outlived said empire. You could, of course, very well imagine an alternate timeline where this had happened with, say, Seneca instead (this probably would have been a better world than ours since the white civilisation wouldn't have to carry the demented Jewish shit in the heart of its spirituality), but we do not live in that timeline.
>>291933527GAYS-ric? (ric in old german names meant king such as alaric, hilderic etc)
>>291933601saar
>>291933617Only after Japan spent years firebombing everyone else in the region. Consider the score even.
