Nasu must be blind or deaf if he doesn’t find Islamic Heroes cool and badass

He’s not

Remember Christianity itself is already pretty obscure there

Him not knowing is fair and can’t be held against him

If your right it’s a shame though we won’t see any Islamic figures in fgo

Wdym pretty obscure?

Not as predominant and influential there as it is in the west for us

We’re talking about Islam. If its in the context of influence, Abrahamic religion is by far the most predominant in every region apart from East Asia today. They exist in minority groups. But I do ask you to do some readings on the Islamic community in Japan. They’re not “not well-known”. It’s literally a social discussion since its spreading so fast. Idk where that even came from.

Oh, Nasu himself is partial to his own religion. Being a Buddhist and all, he tries to respect other religions since his franchise is so large Internationally. From what I saw with his interview transcripts. I respect that. He’s also scared on tackling the topic of Abrahamic angels and God in general. His definition of “Holy Powers” are literally nuns and priests with rapid fire guns and knives. Either that, or borderline mentally ill metal Islamic extremists whose entire aesthetics revolves around bones, djinns and demons. I recall Cursed Arm Hassan having a secret technique to unleash a Demonic God in his arm, which when unleashed would have brought out an equally menacing outcome in the Fourth Grail War. It would be nice to see major figures in the franchise, and not some glorified OC’s. Personally I have no expectations, its an anime afterall 💀

Do you mean the Hassans when you mean mentally ill extremist whatever? Because that is very wrong on multiple levels and degrading for them. If I read wrong my bad

Cursed Arm’s Sheytan’s arm he unleashed in Camelot is what you’re talking about I assume, it’s a good surprise trump card but it isn’t THAT good to compare it to the forth war’s explosion

Either way all this is REALLY reading too much into it and going further might end like one of those cringe takes you find on Twitter

If Nasu or another writer stumble upon a cool bit from Islam they can incorporate in their story they’ll do that if they want to

If they don’t it doesn’t mean crap

Deep thinking into it is useless

I still think nasu is hesitant about Islam but that’s just me

He might be

He might not be

There’s no way to know and we shouldn’t ask

Ah no, in the Heavens Feel VN he mentions there is a Demon residing in his arm. It’s not the ether clumps we see him self detonating from it. And no, i think my phrasing for it is weird, im comparing it to the problems of the war itself. Its already a hassle with how many bad ends as outcomes could have happened. High key, there isn’t much content regarding representation for newest Abrahamic religion. It’s not “he might not be”, he literally is scared to tackle any when mention in an interview regarding angels. We can count the abrahamic servants so far as Islamic, but they’re literally written from jewish scriptures. You can only wish, what to do, not much to be proud of is there. It’s anime, so just wait i suppose. As long as he doesn’t make servants fron Messiac scripture, that is fine.
