what? what's the difference? they just used a synonym, how was your immediate thought to connect that to jewish and christian religion? i mean, is it really that big of a deal?does the raw really use the term Messiah instead of Hero? draws a bit too much Jewish/Christian connotation for my tastes
Because Messiah is basically only used in that context today. Do you even religion bro? In Judaism, it's supposedly foretold that there will be a Messiah who will come and do a couple of different things—one of which being to bring back the age of Judaism. In Christianity (being an off-shoot of Judaism), Jesus Christ was believed to be the Messiah to that certain sect of Judaism. Eventually it's regarded as its own separate thing.what? what's the difference? they just used a synonym, how was your immediate thought to connect that to jewish and christian religion? i mean, is it really that big of a deal?
i mean, im pretty sure "messiah" is just being used as a generalized term here. i don't know what the original text is actually referring to, but it's possible that to the translators, "messiah" was the closest thing they could find, or they just wanted to sound fancy, yeah.Because Messiah is basically only used in that context today.

Just to be clear, I'm actually a fan of religion as mythos. The issue is more that the term Messiah is specifically from the Abrahamic faiths, which is a connection that isn't being intended. The story is not actually trying to draw from the Abrahamic faiths, but merely trying to sound cool. It'd be like name-dropping Bodhisattva into Lord of the Rings, but without any of the associated Buddhism. It's just really out of place.
It would be cool to see that she became a demon lord for revenge or something.i love to see what happen in other world and the Saint
If ya parents die in front of ya, ya'll totally become a main character. Maybe even go full edgelord like Batman.No, no no. If you're going the whole whiny "I'm a normal boy and won't use my powers" and let other people die, ya gotta let go of your parents too.
gut punch at around the navel for themthis messiah stuff is weird and all, but you're all forgetting the most important rule - kick em in the balls. Getting beaten by bullies? Don't know how to defend yourself? Kick em in the fucking balls! Female bullies? Go for the eyes or something...
at least they had the decency to be straight up and honest, that's all I'm giving them though.He literally killed the demon lord and they decided to kill him off because he's too strong, and everybody just agreed with them? There wasn't even an excuse or a framing. No accusations of rebellion or murder or blaming for casualties. They said he's too strong and then everyone agreed to kill him.
