MY god...Kishi your a genius

[shelke]

no. this is not true

No, he is right. The Tree is not just the Tree of Life from Christian Mythos, it shares a lot of aspects from Islamic and Norse Mythology as well. He has also incorporated several aspects of Shinto history. It is a mish-mash of many things.


@OP

I wouldn't agree that it's completely from Christian Myth, but it has aspects of it. I see many connotations from Norse Mythology as well with respect to the Tree. Amaterasu on the other hand is filled to the brim with Christian and Islamic Mythos in regards to hell and tears of blood. Which is why it's my favourite jutsu - the level of literary metaphors in this single technique surpasses everything in the manga. It's that complex a technique from literary perspective.

You can take a scenario out of a lot of stories and make all kinds of connections. Kishis brother already did a manga dealing with Christianity.

Why do you have to be a genius to read the bible?

Indeed , I concur.

And Mormonism

That's because Mormonism is complete and utter bullshit. Mormon knocks at my door, I answer, Mormon says, "Hey buddy did you know Jesus was actually born on America" I slam the door in his face. The only great thing about Mormonism is sister wives.

Yes he did, even satanism, IE Hidan's religion

I love this Manga now, and it's really getting good!

Hidan's religion comes from a old Indina cult called Thugee

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

The hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil was actually taken from The Three Wise Monkeys from Japanese/Chinese Myth, it refers to apathy, the Shinjū was worshipped as a Sacred Pillar and yet it remained apathetic to the wars humans fought.

By the way Juubi is God not the snake.... yeah Hagoromo and his brother fought against God

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

The Shinjū coming to life is actually a Buddhist Theme: Dharmapala, it incarnated into a wrathful being because Kaguya transgressed the Dharma (Natural Law)

Cool.... are you a hitorian or something like that? xd

But yeah by her logic Juubi is God and Hagoromo is probably Satan as he's going against God

Not a historian, just a derp.
