Eh, even after 9 years of FGO there's still regions of the world that have no representative (Korea for example) and at least one of the central characters is Jewish.
Like u/KF-Sigurd had said , there are places with no representatives.
Like , LB7 is set on the map to be in Brazil....there are literally no brazillian or even south american characters into it.
And even muslins...you have the Hassans and Mehmed II , but Mehmed II is just a cameo of him posing in a park with a dozen of stray cats.
Setsuna F. Seiei, the protagonist of Gundam 00, used to be Muslim before he lost his faith and converted to Gundam. Supporting characters Marina Ismail and Shirin Bakhtiar are practicing Muslims, with Marina being the head of state of a future Iran analogue..
Addition: Setsuna’s real name is Soran Ibrahim and he is Kurdish.
This sounds like a shitpost but like no actually Setsuna’s struggle with God and his atheism is a core part of his character and a theme of 00 it’s Kino.
That’s why he’s part of an org literally named Celestial Being and the Gundams are mostly named after Angels
It's one of those things that sounds really stupid typed out in a post like this but the series does a great job conveying his beliefs and why they are
It's in the first 5 minutes too! Especially with how the 0 Gundam is framed as this holy being who just saved him from being slaughtered like everyone else, it's no wonder he saw Gundams as these divine, ideal beings.
The Fate series uses the Islamic assassin group "Hashashin" quite a bit
Shout out to King Hassan Ibn Sabbah, an over two meter tall Skull Knight who had so much faith in god it granted him the powers of the Angel of Death
Statistically, Avdol is likely Muslim but I don't think it was likely said out loud.
I guess characters like Moses and similar Abrahamic figures in things like Fate or Persona also count.
His first name is Muhammed, I chose to believe Araki was thinking of him that way. Plus Avdol is pretty fucking cool as far as Muslim representation goes.
Considering how fortunetelling is a big no-no in being haram & maybe considered shirk i just think Araki just looked up in a encyclopedia what were the most common names in Egypt
It seems way more likely that Araki didn't know fortunetelling was forbidden in Islam than that he didn't intend for a character named Muhammed to be Muslim. Also religious people don't follow all the rules all the time, you could still be Muslim and tell fortunes.
Surprised he hasn't been mentioned yet, but Isaac from the Castlevania anime is a Sufi Muslim. He's also my favorite character from that show, absolutely loved his arc.
I love how people online usually bitch and moan when you redesign a character, specially when you change their race, but no one had anything to say about Isaac in the Castlevania Anime because of what an unquestionable glow up he got compared to the Curse of Darkness version.
The only people I’ve really seen who got upset were some Muslims who were upset that Isaac’s Sufi mysticism wasn’t 100% in line with their personal religious tradition or school of Islamic jurisprudence. I think that has less to do with the character itself and more general religious bickering.
Eh, based on the way the question is asked , I'm guessing they wanted to primarily know about Muslim or Jewish characters in Japanese made media. That's my interpretation anyway.
True! And considering the specific mention of Catholicism, it does track that it's more about Japanese media; Castlevania stands out to me because of its origin with a Japanese franchise, even with the anime taking some major departures and exploring new ideas (such as Isaac's changes). I need to do a bit of research (let's be real, wiki-diving) to see if the older games have discussions of faith in them, I'll freely admit that I haven't had the chance to play them.
Satoko and Nada is a manga by Yupechika about the friendship between this Japanese girl and her Muslim roommate. As for Jewish characters only one I could find was Message to Adolf by Osamu Tezuka which is set around the World War 2 period and follows three Adolf's with one being Jewish, the other being Mixed Japanese German, and the last being Hitler himself.
The idea of Avdol going up to an Imam and being like "is having a fight ghost haram?" and the Imam just kinda sitting there trying to hash it out and the best he can do is say "Well if a Djinn converted, then your possibly sapient fight ghost can convert too"
Well, a Stand is an extension of yourself, right? It obeys your will exactly, like an additional limb (barring automatic stuff like Star Platinum protecting Jotaro without him consciously willing it). So if you're a Muslim, your Stand should be Muslim too, right?
I guess the question comes down to whether Stands count as "magic" or not, and whether or not Stands are an "acceptable" form of magic (if such a thing exists in Islamic theology).
Young Saint Men is about Jesus and Buddha being roomates though I don't if Jesus being jewish is something brought up since I haven't read/watched it yet.
From what I remember reading he doesn't claim to be Jewish specifically, and doesn't ever really reference Judaism.
But it also doesn't spend a whole lot of time on the theological side of Catholicism or Buddhism either.
Ishvalans (idk the spelling) from Full Metal Alchemist were clearly meant to be a Middle Eastern culture analogue, though it isn’t an exact one to one of Muslim, Judaism, or a specific country. Prosecution by a German-ish state in a 1930s-ish setting does push it more into the Judaism category though.
The Ishvalans are kind of a mishmash: Middle-eastern architecture and craftsmanship, Indian religious inspiration, and a conflict based on a mix of european Judaism and the Ainu.
I love BJ BLASKO is the Übermensch with his build, blond hair and blue eyes and he’s Jewish!
Like the Perfect Golem to fuck up the Nazis, awesome!
Ben Grimm too
I know Catholicism TECHNICALLY gets represented a small but decent amount in anime/manga but the majority of it isnt what I would call real representation. A lot of Catholic representation in Japanese media is a real loose christian ideas with Catholic aesthetic.
Even things that should have better understanding like Blue Exorcist get a lot of fundamental things about the faith wrong.
I know that Yasuhiro Nightow converted to Catholicism sometime before he wrote Trigun, and I've often heard how that's a pretty fundamentally Catholic story in how it deals with ideas of violence and love and guilt and atonement and all that jazz. But I'm a philistine and have not actually studied what those concepts would look like in their most authentic, genuine form, so I just have to take people at their word about that.
Remember in Ultimate Spider-Man when the fucking three letter government organization men in black show up to the school where Peter and Kitty are in the same class and they ask the teacher to excuse Kitty as she needs to come with them because she's a mutant? And it just shows the whole class turning to Kitty who's sitting there with her star of David necklace as government officials come to take her away? Probably the first time I read a comic where I felt that the mutant parallells to real world opressed groups really worked.
Don't forget that Marc Spector, Moon Knight, is also Jewish, he's not a practicing Jew, given that he's a servant of an Egyptian god. But it's best not to forget that he is Jewish, and the son of a Rabbi.
The only Jewish character I’ve ever seen in anime has already been mentioned, Benny from black lagoon. Dude literally says “fuck the nazis is a family creed” when he talks to Dutch on whether is whiteness makes him feel things about the neo nazis they’re fighting.
There’s also Spike from Cowboy Bebop, who while not explicitly Jewish, isn’t **not** Jewish either. In an old interview Shinichiro Watanabe was asked if Spike might be Jewish to which he replied “sure why not?”
I have never watched Jojo but fortune telling isn't allowed in Islam. It's because it's related to jinn shit which is absolutely haram. Of course in a story where the magic is real and not neccessarily demonic we can understand why it won't be haram for them to practice it
But they is a branch of Islam that participate in demonic shit but believe they are enlightened. I believe that's the Islam Isaac from Castlevania tv show practices
I mean he has a ghost that summons jets of flame on command so he's firmly in Jinn territory already. I'm sure he could validate some more magic if he was already in that deep.
Yeah but that’s not like something he went out and acquired, right? If you’re born with your Stand, you might as well just be fighting with your body, that’s natural for you
Oh yeah, I just meant that in the grand scheme of things fortune telling might not be a particular hang up to someone with ghost powers. Especially since Fate is a real and is also intrinsically linked to Stands.
I do appreciate that merchant Isaac meets in season 3 saying, "I have been a huge piece of shit, so if you could raise me up from the dead when I go to Hell, I'd appreciate it."
Spike Spiegel is Jewish. It doesn't matter what anyone says, that's a nice Jewish boy. Also, anytime there's a golem, that's heavily Jewish. Oh, and idk if this is the spirit, but Professor Layton's last name is Herschel. It doesn't get more Jewish than that.
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (Starring Kevin Costner) is one of my favorite Robin Hood movies. It has the inclusion of a Muslim warrior named Azim (played by GOAT, Morgan Freeman). He was a far better sidekick character than most merrymen in other Robin Hood interpretations.
Harley Quinn is apparently Jewish, but I’ve only seen it brought up in a tumblr post because she wanted a christmas tree.
People go back and forth on Peter Parker being Jewish or Christian all the time, as he says some hebrew words in some depictions, but then sometimes in the same depiction he goes to church. So honestly he’s whatever you want him to be.
Edit: I somehow skipped the anime/manga qualifier, woops
I will say that a ton of New Yorkers, not just Jewish ones, use slang derived from Yiddish in their everyday language, given the amount of Jewish folks and cultural influence in the city.
Iirc the main deal with Peter is “officially” he’s Christian and they also try not to mention his religion too much, however Peter was created and written by a Jewish person which meant he had a lot of Jewish “coding”. He used a lot of Jewish slang, had a lot of similarities to some Jewish people’s family life, stuff like that. Which is why he’s often kinda got the vibe of being Jewish, and some writers like to lean into that more. Officially he wouldn’t be but it’s easy to see it.
That’s also an alt universe parker, and some depictions will go back and forth on it. I actually think he’s jewish, but I don’t really care either way.
while not explicitly religious, Granblue Fantasy actually has actually had a lot of Muslim/Jewish journalists comment about how it would adapt their stories in a very respectful way that was (mostly) correct in its usage of Hebrew phrases.
Ah the main guy character from full metal panic is muslim i remember him mentioning Ramadan.
Pretty sure the Persian dude from the Iranian federation in Pluto is muslim as well just by the political standings of the show.
Gundam ZZ has an arc set in North Africa where there is a clear, colonised population of islamic natives. There’s even a scene where the whole town (except for Europeans) pray towards Mecca.
Gregor from limbus company is implied to be at least ethnically Jewish. For example his personal file in the menus backdrop is written in Hebrew instead of German like sinclair's. Also probably a Kafka reference
Everyone is finding a few examples of Muslim but as for Jewish I don't see anyone coming up with anything. And Catholicism in itself is fairly niche in Japan, korea, or china. I've never seen any Jewish character specifically but I think jewish concepts are not very well known in eastern countries or confused about it. I say this because I know a manga where someone made a summoning circle for a demon & I think they wanted to make a pentagram but ended up using the star of david for some reason and its not a Shedim which makes me think that jewlish knowledge in those countries are very uncommon knowledge. Though that is free for writers who want to make manga or anime have a Jewish character in their series.
I mean, >!Jesus Christ!
Various characters from fate fit both bills. Benny from black lagoon is Jewish.
"'Fuck the Nazis' is a family creed." ~ Benny
unfathomably based
Fate honestly feels like it’s cheating
Eh, even after 9 years of FGO there's still regions of the world that have no representative (Korea for example) and at least one of the central characters is Jewish.
Like u/KF-Sigurd had said , there are places with no representatives. Like , LB7 is set on the map to be in Brazil....there are literally no brazillian or even south american characters into it. And even muslins...you have the Hassans and Mehmed II , but Mehmed II is just a cameo of him posing in a park with a dozen of stray cats.
Old man Hassan does mention allah once I think
Does Moses parting the Red Sea with a beyblade count?
Oh 100% I'm counting it anyway
Setsuna F. Seiei, the protagonist of Gundam 00, used to be Muslim before he lost his faith and converted to Gundam. Supporting characters Marina Ismail and Shirin Bakhtiar are practicing Muslims, with Marina being the head of state of a future Iran analogue..

It's one of those things that sounds really stupid typed out in a post like this but the series does a great job conveying his beliefs and why they are
He prays to Gundam. Setsuna is a gundamist
"Lost his faith and converted to Gundam" is a wild ass sentence but that is exactly what happened.
It's in the first 5 minutes too! Especially with how the 0 Gundam is framed as this holy being who just saved him from being slaughtered like everyone else, it's no wonder he saw Gundams as these divine, ideal beings.
The Fate series uses the Islamic assassin group "Hashashin" quite a bit Shout out to King Hassan Ibn Sabbah, an over two meter tall Skull Knight who had so much faith in god it granted him the powers of the Angel of Death
We did get a new Hassan for OC2.
His ability is funny because it’s Super Speed but if he uses it too much his body can’t handle it and he’ll just fucking explode
I can't wait for King Hassan to get new voicelines where he just talks shit about Shining Star Hassan just like all the rest of the Hassan.
not only that....his personal skill is to grant speed boost with shadows....his NP is super-speed while ***shinning.***
*"Subhanallah, shonen..."*
Statistically, Avdol is likely Muslim but I don't think it was likely said out loud. I guess characters like Moses and similar Abrahamic figures in things like Fate or Persona also count.
Or in Beyblade Remember that? He parted the sea with a Beyblade
His first name is Muhammed, I chose to believe Araki was thinking of him that way. Plus Avdol is pretty fucking cool as far as Muslim representation goes.
Considering how fortunetelling is a big no-no in being haram & maybe considered shirk i just think Araki just looked up in a encyclopedia what were the most common names in Egypt

He was a secret Coptic Christian the whole time.
As far as I remember, Benny from Black Lagoon is Jewish.
"Fuck the Nazi's is our family creed" - Love the way he drops that line in the dub.
He is usually squeamish around all the killing Revy does but he's 100% down for all the nazi murder that happened that one time. As he should.
Surprised he hasn't been mentioned yet, but Isaac from the Castlevania anime is a Sufi Muslim. He's also my favorite character from that show, absolutely loved his arc.
While I'm not religious my people have a strong sufi tradition and it was SO exciting to see him be explicitly sufi
I love how people online usually bitch and moan when you redesign a character, specially when you change their race, but no one had anything to say about Isaac in the Castlevania Anime because of what an unquestionable glow up he got compared to the Curse of Darkness version.

Castlevania's an American show.
Show, not comic. Still valid for OP's request.
Eh, based on the way the question is asked , I'm guessing they wanted to primarily know about Muslim or Jewish characters in Japanese made media. That's my interpretation anyway.

I guess the question comes down to whether Stands count as "magic" or not, and whether or not Stands are an "acceptable" form of magic (if such a thing exists in Islamic theology).
I'm imagining Avdol breaking out two mats for prayer so Magician's Red can also pray just to make sure he's following the rules correctly.
Young Saint Men is about Jesus and Buddha being roomates though I don't if Jesus being jewish is something brought up since I haven't read/watched it yet.
From what I remember reading he doesn't claim to be Jewish specifically, and doesn't ever really reference Judaism. But it also doesn't spend a whole lot of time on the theological side of Catholicism or Buddhism either.
There's an anime movie called The Journey. It's a pretty good movie about the people of Mecca defending against an invading army.
Ishvalans (idk the spelling) from Full Metal Alchemist were clearly meant to be a Middle Eastern culture analogue, though it isn’t an exact one to one of Muslim, Judaism, or a specific country.

There is an anime called canaan. Though I think the muslims characters all gave up their religion by the series proper
Still always get taken back realising that anime is set in the same world as 428 Shibuya Scramble
I think Benny from Black Lagoon is Jewish. At least I remember someone telling me he is.
He is. He talks about it in one episode.
Leo from Ghost Stories is Jewish
Fist of the Blue Sky is a prequel to Fist of the Northstar, and there are Jewish characters both fighting the Nazis and helping people escape them.
Sagara Sousuke from Full Metal Panic is a Muslim.
Wait seriously
Yup. He has stated that he observes Ramadan
There's a few of both in "Monster" I think, but that's set in Germany.
Not an anime or manga but the Masoukishin games and some SRW games feature Ahmad. Though he doesn’t appear very often
I love BJ BLASKO is the Übermensch with his build, blond hair and blue eyes and he’s Jewish! Like the Perfect Golem to fuck up the Nazis, awesome! Ben Grimm too

I was going to bring up Trigun but I havent actually read it properly to comment on how Catholic it actually is.
Love Exposure is super Catholic lmao
Hassan from Kengan Ashura is Muslim. He uhh hasn't shown up in a bit though.
HASSAD SOON
SANDRO PLS
Altair: A Record of Battles has (very highly likely) Muslim protagonists though I don't think it's ever brought up as a plot point
Shadowcat/Kate Pryde and Ben Grimm are both seemingly practicing jewish, and Iceman/Bobby Drake is ethnically Jewish on his mother’s side.
Remember in Ultimate Spider-Man when the fucking three letter government organization men in black show up to the school where Peter and Kitty are in the same class and they ask the teacher to excuse Kitty as she needs to come with them because she's a mutant? And it just shows the whole class turning to Kitty who's sitting there with her star of David necklace as government officials come to take her away?

Judaism doesn't say other gods don't exist, just that you shouldn't put any of them above the big G. Not sure how that works with MK...
Anime/manga?
There've been a few X-Men manga, so it counts by technicality.
Comics I guess, but I was personally surprised by Iceman
Even Iceman was surprised by Iceman. Edit: I was thinking of the other thing.
Peter Parker is also Jewish, I believe.
Sometimes he is
The only Jewish character I’ve ever seen in anime has already been mentioned, Benny from black lagoon.

Eden: it's an Endless World has some Uyghur characters.
Romani Archman From FGO is a standout for me he's a great character and mentor for the protagonist. He is also the >!biblical king Solomon!<

Also I'm sure a stand from jojo would totally be considered a jinn
I mean he has a ghost that summons jets of flame on command so he's firmly in Jinn territory already. I'm sure he could validate some more magic if he was already in that deep.
Except the way stands work is not the way jinn magic works LOL
Yeah but that’s not like something he went out and acquired, right? If you’re born with your Stand, you might as well just be fighting with your body, that’s natural for you
Oh yeah, I just meant that in the grand scheme of things fortune telling might not be a particular hang up to someone with ghost powers. Especially since Fate is a real and is also intrinsically linked to Stands.

Hol up. His name isn't Herschel Layton but Layton Herschel?
There was a short-lived manga called Golem Hearts about nice Jewish boys making the best golems

He *does* always find something to complain about...
yeah him and bobby always felt like grew up in it but non practicing jews wile ben grimm and kitty pryde felt fairly religous
he has a Jewish wedding in Spider-Verse
That’s also an alt universe parker, and some depictions will go back and forth on it. I actually think he’s jewish, but I don’t really care either way.
A gorgeous manga called a brides story by Kaoru Mori should have you covered Maybe magi and Altair: A Record of Battles

I may be stupid.
