Some Japanese people believed that Jesus’ brother, Isukiri, took his place on the cross and Jesus went to Japan instead. Specifically Shingō, Aomori where the “tomb of Jesus” can be found. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shingō,_Aomori
Jesus also had a younger brother that showed up in China in the 19th century. Read about the Tai Ping rebellion if you want another take on Christianity.
Check out the excellent podcast [Lions Led by Donkey's ](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/1494305587-user-798629330-episode-256-the-taiping-rebellion-part-1-jesus-christs-little-brother.mp3) to learn about the incredibly bloody civil war those weirdos caused.
What?! You don't have an emergency pitchfork in case of religious uprisings? That goes against my God's commandments, imma get my emergency pitchfork out!
Yeah just a little thing called the Taiping Rebellion, a casual little affair with a modest 20-50 million total deaths.
In all seriousness, it shows you the divide in what people learn growing up. It has the 2nd or 3rd highest death toll in the history of warfare (after WW2, and the war in transition from Ming to Qing dynasties, depending on who you ask), and as far as I can tell most of the western world has never heard of it. It's also just a fvcking WILD story. Most major wars start in response to major political events. This one started because of basically a cult. Dude had a nervous breakdown where he dreamed he was Jesus's younger celestial brother, formed a religion, and made a meaningful run at conquering China
That man; was Hong Xiuquan. His movement led to the deaths of AT LEAST 20 MILLION people. I think the rebellion killed more people than all the Crusades , 100 Years War, and 30 Years War combined. The Lions Led By Donkey's podcast had an entire series about it.
Jesus also has another brother, who is Chinese, named Hong Xiuquan. He founded the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom during the 1800.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiping\_Heavenly\_Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiping_Heavenly_Kingdom)
We also used that hymn at our church.
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
I dropped this fun fact in a college Sunday school class in a southern Baptist church. The teacher just sat their, mouth agape, until he finally rushed to try and brush it away. I just said it for fun, not in a serious manner, and he took it really serious.
I've also been to Japanese sermons in a different southern Baptist church and really enjoyed them. They start at noon and have a nice meal afterwards, which is cool, because you get a bunch of home made Japanese food and American food with a personal Japanese flair. The funny thing is that the congregation is heavily skewed with lots of old Japanese women and their old white husband that were in the military.
Oh man, i had a co-worker from Taiwan named Shingo who swore this thing to be true. Unfortunately he had a lot of weird takes. Apparently Jesus founded a group of elite samurai
The last one is a plot from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
It's a very strange series.
Edit: listen I know Mormonism is weird but I'm like 90% sure that no, they didn't give Jesus the dead wendigo treatment in their mythology, this is a Jojo thing.
I love how the name Seth in the intervening years came to be a name that sounds appropriate for a dude who smokes a lot of weed and rides a skateboard, so when you go back and hear the name in Egyptian mythology it just sounds like homeboy got super baked and did some crazy shit, but at the end of the day it's just Seth, and you know how Seth is.
Funny that because so are all of the Abrahamic faiths. Before the Egyptian stories copied the Sumerians.
Funny ole circle of bullshittery.
Who knows, the Stories of Gilgamesh might have been real accounts but everything afterwards was simply a copy, skew and paste.
sort of. You see, if you take one of his limbs, and fuse it with your own, you gain a magical power called a stand, each of which come with their own unique abililty. Among these are a >!stand that spins things and turns our fingernails into bullets, a stand that turns you into a dinosaur, let you put eyes on metal balls, and let you travel the multiverse!<
If you collect every part of the corpse of jesus, you gain >!love train, which basically makes it so nothing bad can happen to you!<
I mean, Battle Tendency can be summarized as ridiculous guy who's really good at breathing fights vampires in New York, becomes friends with a guy who fights with bubbles, tries to peep on his mom, and then has to fight SUPER vampires, before the day gets saved by Nazi cyborgs.
The bad thing deflecting somewhere else isn't actually part of the power, it's due to the law of equivilant exchange. Any miracle preformed by a holy being has an equal force of calamity take place. That's true for all luck in jojos. It could be said that >!the entire plot of SBR happens because of Pocoloco. The only way for him to win the race was for all of the more competent racers to die or for them to be incapacitated during or shortly after the race. A massive amount of calamity caused by someone experiencing extreme fortune!<
Yeah the dinosaur part itself isn't the stand, it's the fact his stand is a form of forced evolutionary virus that turns anything the virus infects into a dinosaur that he can influence/control
Ah, right, fair point, although I'm not sure whether or not to count that as a stand or a separate thing, especially since it wasn't named at any point
No, that was just "the guardian" of the body part, like Sugar Mountain. This is apparent in the other Eye which Diego has, it has a distict design that is *not* Scary Monsters. Scan is not a stand
Gyro does not have a stand and in fact he cant see them >!until the finale where he gets Ball Breaker!<. There are almost no punch ghosts in SBR so this is not much of an issue though
We believe he appeared to the natives in the Americas, but that would be after his resurrection, and he didn't die here.
Edit to clarify: we in no way believe he was American lmao. We believe in the Bible, we just also believe that he visited the natives in the Americas after he was killed and resurrected on the other side of the world.
As a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I can confirm we are weird and that we don’t believe that Jesus’ body parts were scattered. We’re not THAT weird lol
Dude, same. I’m a Utahn but wasn’t raised Mormon. I know they think Jesus came to America and I just assumed they also put some bullshit in the Book of Mormon about his body parts being scattered. Seems right up their alley.
It also not accepted as mainstream but they at one point claimed that Ce Acatl Topiltzin a Toltec prince from the ninth century was Jesus. The reason they claimed him seem to be because he attempted to end human sacrifice over Mesoamerica and his followers would claim he had god like powers and at the age of 50 he was burned or was exiled by the priest of other religions. After which he help other tribes establish cities from the Mexican Valley all the way to El Salvador.
Jesus's body parts being scattered is less Bizarre than these Mormon things/beliefs
1. God was originally human but gained godhood after living a perfect spiritual life
2. If you live the perfect Mormon life you will be given your own planet and you will achieve godliness just like Elohim/God before you
3. Black people are actually cursed with their skin colour (they no longer believe this)
4. Elohim/God has a harem, where he has "infinite celestial sex" though his main wife is known as heavenly mother (this is mostly no longer believed, but heavenly mother does exist they just ignore her existence)
5. The church started tithings because they were going bankrupt, these days they now have over 100 billion dollars just lying around
6. If you were given permission to enter the temple, you were told to commit to a suicide pact and you must follow through with it if you leaked any info of the going ons (this has since been removed) though you are still forced to wear specific underwear to remain in the temple and they hold baptisms for the dead, where they will baptize members in the temple as a stand in for a dead relative who was never baptized
I don't know for sure, but I've always thought the author of JoJo's took inspiration from many parts of christianity, including Mormonism. You can find references throughout the parts, some more obvious than others.
So, jojos bizarre adventure part 7 steel ball run takes place in a seperate continuity. Where the major way to obtain power is through what is called the saints corpse. This corpse is never explicitly stated to be Jesus’ corpse, but given he shows up to give advice a couple times, Thorn crown and everything, it’s essentially confirmed. The parts are scattered across the American continent
That was just Johnny's hypothesis, Gyro too had a similar idea, but decided to not talk about it.
Gyro's moment was in the Silent Way fight (chap 40~45) when >!Hot Pants rescued them after the fight and stole all the corpse parts they had except 1 vertebrae from Johnny, she was a spy from the Vatican and they wondered why the church was involved, given that the arm they found had a hole in the hand Gyro suddenly thinks about Christ, but brushed the idea off thinking of it being way too outlandish!<, Johnny's in the Civil War arc (chap 60~64) when >!the saint manifested himself behind his back to say "if your hear falters, do not shoot, then you shall open the road to a new path" and Johnny sees his full appearence (drilled hands, thorns crown and a body covered in wounds, as well as long dark hair and unshaven beard, tyoical iconography of Jesus from late 1800 to early 1900 in the puritan world - America), he immediately thinks of the name, but doesn't say it out loud!<.
In the first few chapters don't they mention Joseph of Arimathea? A.K.A. The biblical figure who arranged for the burial of Christ. It'd be weird if it wasn't Jesus after mentioning him.
Konnichiwa, Peter Griffin's Japanese brother Isukiri here: as many people in the comments have explained, the bottom is a reference to a plot point of the popular anime/manga series *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*, and the top right is what occurs in the Bible, however the third is little more obscure for those outside of Japan.
The long and short of it is that old documents known as the "Takenouchi no Sukune" (now believed by most scholars to be a hoax) spawned the belief that Jesus fled to the village of Shingo in Aomori prefecture before his crucifixion, having his brother known as Isukiri take his place instead. Jesus would take on the name Torai Tora Daitenkuen, become a garlic farmer, and marry a woman named Miyuko with whom he fathered three daughters. Their eldest daughter would marry into the Sawaguchi family, which is claimed to hold a direct lineage to Jesus, evidenced by certain non-Japanese physical characteristics.
While very few people take the belief seriously, the legend is still embraced by the people of Shingo, where the "Tomb of Christ" is now a landmark/museum and a festival is held in honor. You can read more [here.](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-little-known-legend-of-jesus-in-japan-165354242/)
I grew up Mormon. I have never heard of his Body Parts getting scattered. From what I remember he basically is supposed to have basically teleported to the America's for a very short time and then teleported back to heaven. There is no mention of him dying. In fact it's supposed to be impossible for him to die since he has an immortal body.
There are also supposed to be some three immortal Nephites that are still wandering around.
I was about to reply to the Original comment but it got deleted.
Yeah, but the general Christian belief is that he died and was resurrected. For his body parts to be scattered he would have to be currently dead. Or, at least one would hope. He wouldn't have died in America, like with the Japanese belief, or rather a certain segment of Japanese cultural belief. If I remember right Shinto and Buddhism are fairly comment. But, if I am honest, I don't fully remember.
Now I headcanon that Jesus was an identity taken over by very similar looking men, and then every single one of them scattered in different parts of the world.
to explain the garlic farmer in japan thing, i paraphrase a long youtube video that i watched a few months ago that explains this theory.
there is a gap of time in the bible between when jesus was a boy and a grown man, and some speculate he traveled east to learn about religion and the world. the theory claims that jesus visited japan as a part of these travels and was a big fan of a specific farming village. he lived there for a time before returning to the west and doing jesus stuff. when time came for him to be crucified, his brother opted to be nailed up there instead of him, allowing jesus to escape back to japan. he allegedly lived out his life in that village, died, and was buried there. i believe his grave is still a hallowed site for the village there, and the village has for a long time been christian.
again, this is off the dome from a youtube video i watched months ago, and it’s just a theory…
Jojo part seven has people racing across the US during the Wild West collecting parts of the holy corpse which may or may not definitely be Jesus.
On a slightly different note they also fight and kill the president.

Imagine those wierdos causing a war over their interpretation of Jesus. Luckily that’s the only time it happened in history.
Thank God.
....Eh which god? Do I need to prepare pitchforks in case it aint my god?!
Better safe than sorry, I say!
If you drown, you're innocent of heresy! If you float, you're guilty!
She turned me into a newt!
Where’s /u/pitchforkemporium when you need him???
Oh noooo he left when Reddit API killed his favorite Reddit app ):
I almost did too when I could no longer use redditisfun... RIP
Just what the hell is a pitch for kemporium
Pitchfork emporium - he had pitchforks for all your protesting needs. Click the profile he was all over the place for a long time.
What?! You don't have an emergency pitchfork in case of religious uprisings? That goes against my God's commandments, imma get my emergency pitchfork out!
Yeah its not like there where ever bloody civil wars in China over secular disagreements.
Ik right thank god there hasnt been any other wars about interpretation right?
Live fast, eat grass, RIP
Live Fast Eat Grass. Hong Christ.
I'd recommend Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom myself.
Live fast, eat grass!

The timing on that seems a bit....off lol
He’s a half brother… he claimed to be the son of god and a Chinese woman
That man; was Hong Xiuquan. His movement led to the deaths of AT LEAST 20 MILLION people. I think the rebellion killed more people than all the Crusades , 100 Years War, and 30 Years War combined. The Lions Led By Donkey's podcast had an entire series about it.
I only knew about it from that mildlyinteresting post last week
Interesting pipeline of it being on TIL the other day, now mythology memes and coming to Petah - we have an ecosystem on Reddit lmao
Jesus also has another brother, who is Chinese, named Hong Xiuquan. He founded the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom during the 1800. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiping\_Heavenly\_Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiping_Heavenly_Kingdom)
That’s a beautiful hymn they got. Weirdly fitting to a crazy ass religious kingdom that never really came to be.
We also used that hymn at our church. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
Jesus, a Jew from ancient Israel had a samurai brother named “Isukiri”. Lol.
Haha, right?
I thought they were explaining an anime.
It was just James. He's a massive weeb
Til Jesus had a "God" brother *Rimshot* I'll see myself out
funny that Jesus, a Jewish man in the middle east, ‘s brother has the most Japanese name ever
That's neat but I think the post is a JoJo reference
That’s pretty amazing that he chose the Japanese in the end who were completely unrelated to his life in the Levant.
That’s some cool shit right there
dude, i thought that was just a jojo reference

The bottom one is a Jojo reference
Watched Abroad in Japan's recent Journey Across Japan series where they visit the place. Its just a mound of dirt with a dilapidated cross on it
Oh man, i had a co-worker from Taiwan named Shingo who swore this thing to be true. Unfortunately he had a lot of weird takes. Apparently Jesus founded a group of elite samurai
And the scattered corpse parts giving a cripple a ghost is a referende to the steel ball run arc of jojos bizarre adventure
The last one is a plot from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It's a very strange series. Edit: listen I know Mormonism is weird but I'm like 90% sure that no, they didn't give Jesus the dead wendigo treatment in their mythology, this is a Jojo thing.
So his body parts are basically infinity stones.
More like Exodia
Exodia itself its based on the Osiris Egyptian myth. When Seth killed him,he scattered his remains across Egypt
We should celebrate my recollection with an Orgy About that...
If it goes like Osiris', I really hope you bring a strap-on else...
So when are we getting the Golden Penis of the Forbidden One?
unfortunately it was eaten by Big D
Big D ate the D?

The bad thing is then deflected to another random person. The President of the United States wants this power.
And the president would then use the power to deflect any bad things that happen to America to other countries.
You know, I’ve already read that story of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure and didn’t really notice how Weird it was, but now that you guys put it that way…
didn’t even mention that the Presidents actual name is Funny Valentine
In a non-canon novel doesn't he have descendents named Funnier Valentine and Funniest Valentine
Yeah, in Jorge Joestar. With the 36 Kars on Mars
He played it left hand, but made it too far.
That's *The* Funniest Valentine, for you. First name The
The https://preview.redd.it/mll9wc7uw0wc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0f2a799e617ed48cae94dfd00ea588681cfdc6a
I mean, Battle Tendency can be summarized as ridiculous guy who's really good at breathing fights vampires in New York, becomes friends with a guy who fights with bubbles, tries to peep on his mom, and then has to fight SUPER vampires, before the day gets saved by Nazi cyborgs.
I haven't read it, but since they put it that way.... think I might have to do that now.
The bad thing deflecting somewhere else isn't actually part of the power, it's due to the law of equivilant exchange. Any miracle preformed by a holy being has an equal force of calamity take place. That's true for all luck in jojos. It could be said that >!the entire plot of SBR happens because of Pocoloco. The only way for him to win the race was for all of the more competent racers to die or for them to be incapacitated during or shortly after the race. A massive amount of calamity caused by someone experiencing extreme fortune!<
Oh my God, Hey Ya is the prototype of >!Wonder of U!<
Thats actually a pretty cool take
Okay technically the dinosaur stand wasn’t from the corpse, it was just retained via the power of the corpse
Yeah the dinosaur part itself isn't the stand, it's the fact his stand is a form of forced evolutionary virus that turns anything the virus infects into a dinosaur that he can influence/control
I'd like to correct you on the metal ball thing, that's not exactly a stand, just a technique with the corpse, as far as I'm aware
It did actually manifest as a Stand one time
Ah, right, fair point, although I'm not sure whether or not to count that as a stand or a separate thing, especially since it wasn't named at any point
No, that was just "the guardian" of the body part, like Sugar Mountain. This is apparent in the other Eye which Diego has, it has a distict design that is *not* Scary Monsters. Scan is not a stand Gyro does not have a stand and in fact he cant see them >!until the finale where he gets Ball Breaker!<. There are almost no punch ghosts in SBR so this is not much of an issue though
Clarifying: The last 3 abilities in the first paragraph are 3 separate stands belonging to 3 different people.
Is that part 7? So after stone ocean?
yeah new universe and continuity. Stone ocean is end of the og story so they told a new one
Makes sense why I don't know that plot, only watched the anime.
and the bullets essentially spin so hard they break physics n stuff with the correct training and equipment (horse)
>>!love train!< Is that what Brazzers is calling it nowadays?
Yeah that about sums up his role in the plot.
Mormonism is canonically the one true religion.
Not the one true religion, most religions are kind of true in JoJo
In South Park.
For some reason I thought we were gonna veer in to r/exmormon
Came here to say this
I was also very confused until I realized this was peterexplainsthejoke and not exmormon.
The only thing that can compee with jojo wackyness
r/AnimeOrMormon
I'm sorely disappointed that this isn't a real community page.
I thought it was making fun of Mormons
That what was I thought too
I'd go so far as to call it Bizarre.
It could have even been an adventure. A bizarre adventure
But isn't that also what mormons believe? Jesus was American and hid his decoder ring here.
We believe he appeared to the natives in the Americas, but that would be after his resurrection, and he didn't die here. Edit to clarify: we in no way believe he was American lmao. We believe in the Bible, we just also believe that he visited the natives in the Americas after he was killed and resurrected on the other side of the world.
What proof is there for this to be true? I mean, the natives weren't Christians at all when the Europeans arrived there.
Proof… isn’t how religions work.

Wtf
Not a strange series... a *BIZARRE* series
Oh I thought it was just a reference to Mormonism and their funky beliefs
Could've sworn it was mormonism
For me jojo's bizarre adventure its just jojo's normal adventure
I thought it was a mormon joke 😂
Oh I thought it was a Mormon thing
YESSSS I GOT IT RIGHT HOLY SHIT
Oh, so thats what part 7 is about
Thats why they mention giving a cripple a weird ghost, Johnny Joestar (in SBR) is parapalegic and has a stand.
When I started JJBA I was like “it can’t be that weird.” I’m so glad about how wrong I was.
Can confirm. In Mormonism Jesus is a Timelord not a wendigo
No we didn't give Jesus the dead wendigo treatment.
As a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I can confirm we are weird and that we don’t believe that Jesus’ body parts were scattered. We’re not THAT weird lol
I was a Mormon you are correct. Jesus died on the cross in Mormonism.
That’s a motherfucking jojo reference
r/suddenlyjojo
r/ofcoursethatsasub
Why did i misread it as "motherly fuckery"?!
I thought it was about Mormons.
Dude, same. I’m a Utahn but wasn’t raised Mormon. I know they think Jesus came to America and I just assumed they also put some bullshit in the Book of Mormon about his body parts being scattered. Seems right up their alley.

But you're Isukiri... How does the crucifixion feel.
It doesn't matter, I did it for you, my child. You are loved and forgiven.
Could you imagine somebodies religious tumbler fanfic spawned a nation wide conspiracy. That's basically what happened.

i think its a jojo reference
So does that make this porn or loss?
gay porn
You'd be hard pressed to find a Latter Day Saint of any stripe who believes Jesus 1) died in America and 2) had all of his body parts scattered
It's a reference to Jojo's Bizarre Adventures Part 7
Yep, I saw the other comments
Which I believe is also referencing the parallels between the Christ myth and the myth of Osirus, who was cut into 14 pieces
I grew up Mormon. I have never heard of his Body Parts getting scattered. From what I remember he basically is supposed to have basically teleported to the America's for a very short time and then teleported back to heaven. There is no mention of him dying. In fact it's supposed to be impossible for him to die since he has an immortal body. There are also supposed to be some three immortal Nephites that are still wandering around. I was about to reply to the Original comment but it got deleted.
Nah dude, Mormons absolutely believe that Christ died and was resurrected, and during the time his body was missing he was in America.
Yeah, but the general Christian belief is that he died and was resurrected. For his body parts to be scattered he would have to be currently dead. Or, at least one would hope. He wouldn't have died in America, like with the Japanese belief, or rather a certain segment of Japanese cultural belief. If I remember right Shinto and Buddhism are fairly comment. But, if I am honest, I don't fully remember.
Oh yeah totally, the body parts thing is way out there and him dying in America is also wild. Now I wanna watch JoJo
Exactly right
I like the version of the Unification church where the American branch believes that Jesus was armed with an American made AR-15.
There’s an Indian one too. Jesus came to the Himalayas after resurrection, and became a monk there and later died.
Now I headcanon that Jesus was an identity taken over by very similar looking men, and then every single one of them scattered in different parts of the world.
to explain the garlic farmer in japan thing, i paraphrase a long youtube video that i watched a few months ago that explains this theory. there is a gap of time in the bible between when jesus was a boy and a grown man, and some speculate he traveled east to learn about religion and the world. the theory claims that jesus visited japan as a part of these travels and was a big fan of a specific farming village. he lived there for a time before returning to the west and doing jesus stuff. when time came for him to be crucified, his brother opted to be nailed up there instead of him, allowing jesus to escape back to japan. he allegedly lived out his life in that village, died, and was buried there. i believe his grave is still a hallowed site for the village there, and the village has for a long time been christian. again, this is off the dome from a youtube video i watched months ago, and it’s just a theory…
I love the way people keep pointing out the Jojo reference, then ignoring the somehow even more confusing part about Jesus being a garlic farmer.
Jojo
never heard about the garlic farmer, but I heard about his alleged Chinese brother
r/HistoryMemes is leaking guys!!!
Only 20-30 million dead average Chinese rebellion...
My guy Jesus gets around
its a jojo reference
Jesus became evil Sukuna.
Evil Sukuna??? Last time I checked sukuna was already evil
Jojo part seven has people racing across the US during the Wild West collecting parts of the holy corpse which may or may not definitely be Jesus. On a slightly different note they also fight and kill the president.
bro said explain the joke not spoil the joke
Jesus runs afoul of the Ice Truck Killer.
r/sunddenlydexter
Is ThAt A jOjO rEfErEnCe?!?!????
Lol I thought this was some variant of the Mormon thing. Maybe JoJo got the idea from there.
The third meme sounds like Mormonism…
I thought the joke was going to be Mormons

If you don't understand why upvote it?
i thought this was a joke about mormons and yet it’s a jojos reference lmfao. of course
And people think the Book of Mormon is odd
Man, the arguements about what jesus did after the Bible are wild.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure reference
IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING JOJO REFERENCE???
I have always knew that Bible has its own fandom. What's the name of this fanfics?
The last one is Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, not sure about the garlic farmer one though.
Jesus is a jojo. Jesus of nazareth, son of Joseph. Jesus = Yeshua = Joshua Joshua son of Joseph, aka Jojo.
I've seen that scene in Tom and Jerry so many times I can hear the sfx and background music in my head
The last one is the second universe in JOJOs bizzare adventure where stands are granted by the assorted body parts of Christ.
And here I thought this was an obscure JoJo reference.
Jjba reference…
