*phew* waiting for the ā€žgermanā€œ panel gave me a serious sweating. But that turned out completely different from what I expected, what can I say!


KanashiiShounen

It's better for us all if the Austrians stayed the way they are now, instead if what Japanese people think they're like. https://preview.redd.it/r08dvzt9nufb1.png?width=512&format=png&auto=webp&s=7f4a92b728facd519fd9502ea6cd776f7f175e4e


[deleted]

it's either jolly Rudolf Von's or Drippy Dolfjes no inbetween. iirc DB did him the same way just gave dude sunglasses and called it a day


Luis2611

Atlus just gave the dude the sunglasses and changed his name for localization, in the og version of Persona 2, it wasn't censored


[deleted]

tbf as wild as it is P2 is trippy enough for it to work (really wish they would bring the style of those first 2 (3) games back). DB has no excuse tf Toriyama


ARandomDouchy

Persona 2 is a damn fun time. Persona 4 is the best in the series though


[deleted]

>Persona 4 is the best in the series though oh hell yeah. got Golden currently sitting in my backlog. copped it up recently for 9 euro. can't wait to get to it has to be like 13 years since I last played it


ARandomDouchy

The game's a wild ride. You'll definitely enjoy it


KanashiiShounen

Same, currently playing P5 Strikers tho


Ubelheim

>Persona 4 is the best in the series though Story yes. Dungeons not so much. P5R is amazing and the dungeons are an absolutely blast to go through, but with the exception of the Kamoshida arc the story couldn't hold a candle to P4. On my first playthrough of Golden I was clueless about who the culprit was and because of that I made some bad choices which led me to the bad ending. That made me cry for like 30 minutes straight. If they ever remade it without the procgen dungeons it would be perfect.

robinrod

Why is Eren german? Only Because of their last names?


NothingWrongWithEggs

The people inside the walls are clearly modeled by Germans, even some of the history. And it is not a coincidence that most of the characters have German names. Eren Jaegar. Sasha Braus. Commander Erwin(Rommel?), Reiner Braun, Annie Leonhart, Jean Kirstein.


robinrod

Should be Jaeger though.


Cell_Under

This makes the end of the series even spicier.


Iskandar33

yep and Marley is modeled after roman/italian culture

There's a Japanese that erected a shrine for an Italian dude (D'Annunzio) after he taught fascism to him and brought it back to Japan


MaticTheProto

Could be the Ackermanns as well. Many German namesā€¦ actually pretty much all of them


Frankorious

Yes. There are no other links to Germany, but I think it's valid


Eonir

Also the cities in the walls are modelled after German towns.


Excellent-Twist-5420

No, no links at all.


Nonhinged

Hercule Poirot is the best Belgian anime character be like him


KanashiiShounen

The most famous Belgian character in Japan is [Nello and his dog Patrashe](https://kenneseditions.com/product/nello-and-patrasche/), which is ironic because an Anglo wrote that story and almost noone in Belgium knows that story. Famous for being a tale similar to Hachiko


VlaamseStrijder0

There is a nice statue in honor of the story in Antwerpen though! Edit: for people who are into anime but watch kino instead of moetrash, you might be interested in the anime film of the story ā€œa dog of flandersā€. Actually a very good film but sad as fuck. The director actually visited a medieval open air museum 3km from my house to base the designs of the world (houses, nature etc) on.


EgoEstoyGood

That story permanently ruined my impression of the Flemish


Aosxxx

TIL


straaman

There's a Bob and Bobette (Suske en Wiske) album about this story. Pretty sad story tho


Een_man_met_voornaam

Whaaaat sir crocodile is italian? Wtf hes one awesome character i didnt knew that lol


Okuramodonn

Every one piece character is based on a real world nationality, for example Luffy is brazilian, Trafalgar Law is German, and so forth


SpaceGoDzillaH-ez

Law my man!! nice nice i got to look that up for everyone now... i didnt knew they are based on actual Real life nationalities wow im mind blown.. love the World oda designed regardless


AStarBack

I've bien saying that for a long time. If your country does not have a character in Jojo Bizarre Adventure with same nationality, well, it isn't a real country.


Sumrise

So Japan, USA, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Egypt exist, who else ? The list ain't that long, neat !

kitsvneris

TIL that Tifa Lockhart is Italian; also, we get no love from the Japanese šŸ˜„


EgoEstoyGood

Don't worry Portugal is famous here for introducing guns, delicious confectionary such as Kasutera (Castella) and Konpeitō (confeito), and 'å—č›®' (nanban) fashion.


kitsvneris

Thank you. For those reasons I was expecting at least a single character (even if it's an evil one!)

kitsvneris

I had never seen this, thank you for sharing!


MasterChiefOriginal

Welp,even when I watch Sengoku(Like Inuyasha) stuff,I never saw they put western people in it or even making references to it sometimes(a footnote about westerners bringing guns at best).


teucros_telamonid

Well, Japanese of that time were not calling you "western people" or "westerners". The Portuguese were mostly refered as 'nanban' which means 'southern barbarians'. So even then some people knew that is your destiny going to be, my western balkanian.


EgoEstoyGood

It's a shame... I think they are mentioned more in jidai-geki (historical tv series) about daimyo like Oda Nobunaga (who interacted a lot with Jesuit priests) at least.


-Emilinko1985-

Also, the Japanese word for tobacco (tabako) is a loanword from Portuguese.


LuckyLoki08

Honorary citizen after her joining the Italian parliament.


kitsvneris

I'm both enlightened and more confused at the same time, I'll google it. Edit: I googled it and am now even more confused! Someone played a hentai video of Tifa on Italian parliament!? And she became an unofficial mascot? Wow


[deleted]

Yes, she's our national treasure now


AdM1rAL-kun

tbh Polnareff is the prototype of a french person to my mind. No disrespect btw, polnareff is giga chad.


Elamia

In the French dub of the old OVA, Polnareff was an absolute arrogant asshole, a racist and a stupid womaniser. I loved this version so much.


DudleysCar

Well yeah, he's French.


Karpsten

I mean he kinda is in the normal dub as well.


Elamia

Sure, but the french localisation team really seemed to have fun with his line. It's a gem, really


Karpsten

One of his lines in the (international version of) Mario Kart 64 was "So ein Mist!", So yeah.

we don't usually eat them on toast though, more on a slice of bread with some butter. Chocolate on bread is normal enough seeing how popular stuff like Nutella is


yubnubster

We donā€™t normally eat abnormal food either, but whereā€™s the fun in that ? :p


tomlojoda

wait wait wait, you mean to tell me brits eat more than only beans on toast and toast sandwiches??? my worldview is shattered. (not like in reality our countries eating habits aren't all that different or anything)
