Talk:Pillar Men/@comment-37376110-20181130110400

Thought to mention this. The reason I had included "Though it is mere speculation, due to the amount of religious references in Araki's works, the Pillar Men may represent the age of "Nephilim" (half-human, half-angel monstrosities that were tall/colossal). However, in place of a literal flood, Kars and Esidisi wiped out their species as a whole as a metaphysical flood. Kars ultimately violates the natural balance and attains an ultimate form that completes his transformation into something more than a Nephilim." is because Japanese medium is RIPE with Christian-Muslim-Judeo Mythology.

Full Metal Alchemist for example had to censor for the Western Release. Castlevania is less on the censorship aspect (but it still happens). It's important that these sorts of things be noted for historical context. These aren't just super powered dudes. They're living metaphors.
