I am not saying that Japanese never play with western mythology I am saying that "clear Biblical references" aren't that clear. Also sometimes they are just visually pleasing because a lot of Christian symbolism is just what it is, it's pretty. And it can work in absolutely different plots and meanings.

Also your Greek example isn't as applying as you think. Roman and Greek mythology is absolutely culturally ingrained in western culture. It's been used for centuries.

nayrt

L literally had prophecies of his own death, and washed the feet of a man who betrayed him. What about that wasn't clear that it was a Biblical reference?

If it's just that you aren't familiar with the Bible, or your introduction to similar events was in other literature/media, I could understand that. But those events seemed very intentional to me.

Yeah, it is probably a Bible reference. Especially since Death Note was trying to be all western. But I just gonna argue that 1) cleaning (other persons) feet was (and is) a custom in different cultures. Including Japanese 2) death prophecies aren't unique to Catholics

Also Bible references do not exclude fan service to start with. Even for cultural catholics. Soooo

DA, not an expert but christianity was first introduced to Japan ~500 years ago. A fraction of the time western culture's been thinking about the greco-romans, but long enough to make an impression.

Christianity was also immediately set on fire and destroyed so I think we're talking more a 150 years give or take

[(Anonymous)]

Uh, no. Read up on the Kakure Kirishitans, please.

AYRT
I have to agree with other anon about 100-150 years. It was introduced but it's a drop in the ocean and gaijins we trade with sometimes on an island we build to exclude the fuck out of them being weirdos.
A century is enough to have some influence of course, not gonna dispute it
