What do you mean by this? The arc about becoming a king of basically a group of slaves by making them their own leaders is a Jewish Arc?
There’s a lot more in there that you have to be 8n the know.
Their whole history and culture. It’s a desert and in this case actually “a people without a land and a land without a people.”
And the olds that demand the next generation live exactly the same (traditioooooon)
one special skill that’s useful to people with other priorities (like ears, or literacy and math skills).
Kossacks show up for a pogrom, and then (and I called it, check the comments) Iruma goes full Alter Rebbe and stares down military police until they leave.
Nova is waaaaaay different to King David. Just violence and sex with David. And music. Sex, swords and songs.
The timing of this arc has made me cringe, it gives political statement, and on the side opposite me.

This manga is FULL of stuff. The alphabet (aka the aleph bes), search “kiddush cup” and then reread the series. It‘s killed me since the second time I read through it.
he has a bar mitzvah (cups again)
They say Hebrew stuff occasionally. They chant Gd’s name backwards at his bar mitzvah (that’s demons for ya 😜)
”Erohim“ magazine


It’s a fantasy manga. People often take inspiration from other cultures. That’s fine. I just usually see artists in japan pull from Shinto, Christianity, Chinese Mythology, or even Islam.
We don’t really have a lot to pull from, so Christian demonology is where the character concepts themselves come from.
But the culture of the Makai is Jewy af. She chose our stuff for some of the general content, instead of Culture. Coulda rolled a rolled a die, for all I know, but Nishi knows more than most goyim I’ve met. A LOT more.

Not enough holidays, though

Going by how she's tackling this research, I expect Kuromu's gonna change the song to some kind of "It was a very ordinary day/but it was special/because I did it all with you ;)" version.

Extremely huge reach lmao. For one thing it actually was an empty space for the Many Ears, they didn't need to forcefully make space with violence. Also, they weren't violently persecuted by demon society, but enslaved for their physical traits. This puts the Many Ears much closer to a story like Liberia or American Indian reservations, which just like the many ears plot of land were deliberately assigned to barren low value places and the subject of attempted seizure if the subjugated group did anything good with it in spite of the government attempting to sabotage them. This is a good thing because if you were right here, it would be a morally repugnant thing for this author to do and I trust her instincts and values way too much based on everything else she's written to think she'd go there. Maybe if this arc was written further into the past but definitely not after this last year.
Also the other general stuff is because Kabbala has been adopted as a collection of fun western fantasy tropes for Japanese authors, just like Gnosticism and the Ars Goetica. This is possibly due to the influence of the Megaten series, which basically combines all three into one very blasphemous cosmology. Where you find gnostic references you almost always see the Hebrew alphabet characters used basically entirely without meaning, for example the Xenosaga trilogy from the 00s. They do the same thing with the Star of David, you see that all over the place in Japanese western fantasy settings as a generic magic circle design, like with Castlevania, which is otherwise very Christian in its intended setting.

Unrelated: yay let's go lesbians. We've known Kuromu likes Gyari back since the end of the Evidol arc, she just thought a relationship where Gyari "won" her would kill the spark. This sort of peer non-competitive interaction is thus exactly what they need to get closer <3

Wait, since when has Gyari had Irumi and Lindy's phone numbers? That doesn't feel like something they'd have given to her.

...I probably shouldn't ask questions I don't want the answers to.
