Huh!? If the readers are otaku, they must have seen the Sephiroth, right!? No, perhaps that’s not necessary. It’s troublesome, but even if there are facts they don’t want to admit, let’s investigate again. Mr. Nazuki, there are too many forms you dealt with, so you want me to correct it this much? It’s a meaningful dream, huh~ Is this the Saint○○? I can’t tell. Look— the door opened! Amazing! That’s correct! Have you been here before? It’s my first time, but in Duburas’s recollections, it’s everyone’s dictionary. This is general knowledge, right? Remember Mr. Nazuki’s dream well. If we replace it with a part of the meat, you can understand it a little, right— From the top right in order, wisdom, mercy, thunderous blow—? Impermanence— The lecture has started. It’s not bread, it’s Gabeh! Alright, test time! Mr. Lufel, what is this? Panziri, it’s a bookmark. In essence, it’s meat. The kingdom! It’s panziri chicken. Everyone reading, where did you first learn about Sephiroth?
The first time I saw the Sephiroth was in Ever.
I think I learned about the content while I was playing around endlessly following links about milk clams and reading a ton of articles…
>>1It’s fun to follow links about surf clams and increase my knowledge of things I don’t know.
I only remember unnecessary knowledge that I don’t use in everyday life, and there’s not enough capacity to allocate to common sense as a working adult.
I realized much later that all the place names in Tales of the Abyss are taken from the Sephiroth.
I remember all the chemical symbols, though…
The 72 Pillars of Solomon
The Seven Deadly Sins!
The Seven Deadly Sins or elementary school level, right!?
It’s a difference in the images.
Gebura
Yesod

“There’s only about this much.”
When doing a lobotomy, you memorize the placement upside down.
>>10Well, it flips over properly…
I’ve only seen Eva, but I’ve become more knowledgeable about it after playing TOA.
Myth and religion have too many varying theories to count.
The Four Sacred Beasts are too much like a tutorial.
When I see a manga using a certain theme, it makes me feel like, “Wow…” in the opposite way.
>>13The four calamities are slowly increasing.
>>13But I don’t know about famous episodes or the origins of its establishment.
>>13The Four Holy Beasts are major, but…
In addition to that, seasonal words are used only in youth…
>>63Maybe it’s because of things like Kitahara Hakushu coming up.
When I hear the incomprehensible theories of alchemy, I get really amazed.
The Sephiroth, used in memory techniques as part of magic training.
Zodiac signs shifted by the twelve terrestrial branches.
I learned it in Levarius…
I just love the flow of the last panel too much.
I’ve played through the entire Megami Tensei series.
Moreover, I also bought strategy guides at that time, so that stuck in my head.
There were many explanations of the original myth rather than being a strategy guide.
These guys seem to be having fun…
Thanks to FFT, I have memorized even the symbols of the 12 zodiac signs.
>>22It’s Saint Seiya, right!?
>>23Not everyone is the same age.
>>26Sailor Moon, astronomical observation, Saint Seiya, and horoscope.
Well, there was a timing to know moderately.
Ain Soph Aur!
I only understand things like the twelve zodiac signs, the twelve constellations of the ecliptic, and the major arcana.
Star Ocean and so on.
When searching for source material that can be used for creative work, I often find that Japanese titles are long and cumbersome, making them difficult to use…
This was the roulette for creating items in Dement, but I didn’t understand it at all.
Items are kicked away from enemies.
The first time I saw Sephiroth might have been in GanGan’s Satan…
List of Yggdrasil worlds, etc…
It was originally used in various places, but…
Don’t you kind of like Korean games?
Eva thread image
Norse mythology in Valkyrie Profile
Kantai Collection’s Japanese warships
I see Egypt here and there, but I don’t have the opportunity to learn about it thoroughly.
If you’re an otaku, you’ve probably looked up the meanings of the Major Arcana in tarot cards, right!?
>>35Isn’t it a bit troublesome that the meaning shifts now and then? Do you have to remember the meaning as well?
>>35I have it, but I don’t remember.
>>35I can only remember the Moon card, which suggests the anxiety of lies and betrayal on a journey.
>>107Since playing Persona 3, even if I don’t feel like memorizing, I end up remembering.
The 12 zodiac signs are usually memorized through astrology, before the era of Saint Seiya, right?
When you dabble in Norse mythology, you get surprised by the proper nouns that pop up everywhere in completely unrelated games’ weapons and enemy characters.
>>40In online games, mentioning names will likely result in them being censored: “Gure◯Punir” “Sure◯Punir”.
The Banshee was just a weak enemy, but it came back as a Gundam.
I don’t really care, but surf clam is suspicious.
Those who read the book are still more trustworthy.
I didn’t want to know that the origin of Hihirokane is related to a dubious new religion.
I learned about the Four Kings from Pokémon, but there must be an original source for it.
>>44I probably learned something about Buddhism on my elementary school field trip.
>>44There are five people at the source material stage.
>>44Wasn’t it a general from the Warring States period or something?
>>57It’s used as a metaphor based on Buddhist origin.
As you get older, the I Ching becomes the most calming.
Cthulhu will also be remembered somewhere.
>>46There was a huge guy named Chika Akira who was a Cthulhu-themed meddler.
Sephirot is common knowledge, but anyone who remembers the Qliphoth is impressive.
The prefectures in the Kanto region are not filling up first.
>>49Well, at least remember Kanto… You don’t need to remember anything from Chubu to the west.
Despite having many opportunities to learn about foreign myths, there are almost no chances to learn about Japanese myths or folktales.
I didn’t know a lot of things until I played Okami on the PS2.
Is it correct that the techniques commonly used by the final boss are Ain Soph Aur, Morning Star, Event Horizon, and Golden Alchemy?
The Seven Deadly Sins are famous and their names are easy to understand, so you can usually figure out the origin right away, but I was surprised when I learned that the name of Alrest from Xenoblade 2 is derived from the Seven Deadly Sins in Latin.
I feel that even if such things are famous in English, there are few people who know the Latin reading.
The zodiac is common knowledge, right?
>>56The year of the zodiac male brings an increase in illustrations of voluptuous beauties, so I’m happy.
I don’t understand why it’s called the Tree of Life with that shape and content.
It looks more like T2 phage than a tree.
The content, like the concept of a crown, has nothing to do with living.
I learned about Sephiroth from that creepy Digimon.
I still don’t know the names or meanings of each.
The Sephirot topic appeared in Wizardry 4.
>>65Vitruvian Man
The length of human limbs is approximately this ratio compared to height, right?
A compilation of things like that.
In Japanese mythology, there are the creators known as the Three Deities of Creation, and after them, I think it’s Izanagi and Izanami.
I even thought one of the three gods was Omoi Kane.
Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig.
For now, stop trying to apply everything to the Sephiroth.
It’s fine whether it’s Eva, TOA, or even a working demon lord.
I wonder if it’s Shaman King, Sephiroth.
I’ve never seen anyone properly answer “zodiac” when asked about their zodiac sign.
The general public recognizes only the twelve zodiac signs, abbreviated as “eto,” from the “ten celestial stems and twelve earthly branches.”
>>72Cat!
>>72When you properly understand it, you’ll finally get why 60 years old is called “kanreki.”
>>72In that regard, the parents and grandparents’ generation seemed to know quite a bit.
I have a memory of talking about how it was in the year of the Metal Horse.
>>72Why are there sixty variations when it’s called the zodiac?
>>431Since it is a combination of the Ten Heavenly Stems and the Twelve Earthly Branches, the least common multiple is 60.
The fun times.
Even though it’s called the Tree of Life, there aren’t really interesting episodes about its arrangement, so it’s hard to remember…
A sorrowful past of the Klippot, which rarely gets talked about compared to the Sephirot…
>>75The concept of Kliphoth aside, the Kliphoth diagram feels quite retrofitted… like the new Seven Deadly Sins…
>>75Isn’t it something that’s been added later?
In the original Buddhist context, the Four Heavenly Kings are not exactly of a high rank.
>>76In simple terms, the position is very high; Myōō is under Tamonten, and Ryūō is under Kōmoten.
I wonder if it’s Digimon.
“All combatants, prepare for battle!”
I learned through divine punishment.
Every time I see Cthulhu, I get worried that it looks difficult to eat because of the tentacles around its mouth.
>>79Why do you care about such things?
The seven deadly sins, as established by the Catholic Church, are not spreading at all.
>>80There’s no way that could spread, it’s just lame.
>>80I’m not particularly trying to spread Catholicism, and there are parts where the old Seven Deadly Sins have become clichéd in terms of reflecting reality.
My name is the man whose 99% of trivia comes from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Wiki’s source explanation section.
As an otaku, I thought I should properly read both the Old and New Testaments, and it’s been 30 years now.
Something that is being sent into space.
Golden Disk-chan!
Many people probably learned about the KliFOT through Yu-Gi-Oh, regardless of how much Sephiroth has been used as a motif.
I will remember the original source for that kind of thing, just in case.
I thought I remembered it, but I’ve already forgotten it after about two weeks.
I learned about the hidden item in Star Ocean: Blue Sphere.
In the end, I wondered what this was and looked it up, and maybe there are a ton of different kinds…? So I worked hard to collect memories.

Come back, Yomi!
Updating is important, but the content is just overflowing with Masaharu’s style, and on top of that, it’s similar to other things, you know, the Seven Deadly Sins of Neo.
It has nothing to do with it, but I found the exchange in the thread a little amusing.
I learned about directions, colors, and seasons from “Soryuden.”
Is Klimt more famous?
I heard that the Bible is pretty damn long and has confusing family tree introductions with little consideration for the readers, so I decided I would never read something like that in my life.
The term “proof of the devil” was mentioned in the news before, but when you’re into otaku culture, you end up knowing that term without realizing it.
>>105Cats are nice, right…
(I always wonder, is it alternating current or direct current…?)
>>106East West Understand
right left I understand
WEST EAST I don’t understand.
>>132I remembered the connection between Westerns and Western movies.
>>132Western = Western
I learned it.
>>132Every time, um, the Far East is East because EAST means east… that’s how it goes.
>>132The L and R buttons learned from the Super Famicom controller are for the right and left field in Power Pro.
Zoroastrianism and its various elements are seen occasionally, but I only know Ahriman from Zoroastrianism itself.
>>108Four corners of the world!
>>108You should at least understand something like Ahriman, right!?
>>108Who is Ahriman?
>>120Flying eyeball!
>>120“Sh-should I let them drink water?”
>>108The name Anrimayu is said to be that of a demon from ancient Persia.
The greatest demon in Zoroastrianism, who is an enabler of evil and continues to fight against the radiant god that protects human goodness for nine thousand years.
Zoroastrianism is a story centered around the conflict between the two gods of good and evil, and it is the first religion to embody the dualism of angels and demons.
Clifoth, that’s basically the Dark Sephiroth, right?
If I don’t understand the mandala, there’s no way I can understand the Sephiroth.
There are parts of the tarot where it’s enough to just remember the Tower, Death, and the Fool.
You can name all the names of hell, right?
>>114You’ve read Dante’s Divine Comedy, right?
>>114I vaguely remember the final boss from Super Robot Wars using a technique with that name.
>>114It’s Kaína, Antinora, Troamea, and Judeca, right? I know that much!
>>168Super Robot Wars!
The low recognition of the seven virtues compared to the seven deadly sins.
Tetragrammaton!
Ein Sof Aur!
Dead End Shoot!
>>117I guess the recent kids are from Granblue Fantasy.
Although Laplace’s demon is famous, otaku don’t know anything about Laplace’s equation at all.
>>118If you’re in a science major at university, you should know, right?
>>118Is it about the wave function and such…?
>>118If anything, I know about Schrödinger’s cat, but I don’t know what Schrödinger actually did.
>>124I stole my friend’s wife.
It’s that Laplace’s demon, right?
It’s the one that appeared in Rozen Maiden, right?
Cthulhu may stand out, but let’s also use more orgone energy.
Why is someone who was having so much fun doing this now invading another world?
>>130Because I became undead.
There are not many people who recognize Ahriman as a flying eyeball and as a name related to Zoroastrianism.
The word for Zoroastrianism is somewhat influenced by the emerald dragon.
Schrodinger’s cat is the crux of the experiment, as it is an apparatus that detects alpha rays and generates toxic gas.
That area tends to be overlooked.
>>134Is that so? I feel like there are quite a few things we do that amplify the uncertainty of existence…
>>159It’s strange that the laws of the microscopic world apply to the macroscopic world, right? That’s the thought experiment!
I believe that a device similar to one that connects those two worlds is essential.
It’s amazing how they came up with a unique program theme like Cleefort in Yu-Gi-Oh! with Cleefort + DT.
An otaku who names their cat Schrödinger in their creative work.
Four Gods
Four Spirits
Four Fiends
Four sins
Thus Spoke Zarathustra could not be read…
Aren’t there about 200 hells…? Like Daibutsu, and Kachiko?
>>145I saw it in the Momotaro legend!
>>145Is the animal realm hell?
>>155Since the hell realm exists in the same category, it is a different realm.
Thinking about it again, it’s kind of amusing that the Four Heavenly Kings are a staple as the elite members under the Demon Lord.
I recently learned that “Purgatory” is a place where people, who have passed the exam for going to heaven but are slightly tainted, are lightly scorched to be purified.
It feels like in creations, it’s treated as the most severe place in hell…
>>148Flames of Purgatory (rather compassionate)
Crimson Hell (Cold)
>>158It’s because the exploded blood solidifies like flames.
>>174I saw that the skin is split and the exposed cross-section is red.
>>148Inferno refers to a tremendous flame, so it seems that the image of “terrible” is not necessarily wrong.
>>161Inferno is hell, right?
Purgatory is purgatorio.
By the way, the netherworld is limbo.
>>173Isn’t it cruel that children who die before baptism (around 7 years old) are sent to forced hell…? It’s no wonder people want this kind of reassurance.
The Pope just flat out says there’s no such thing!
>>422There is no hell, you know? …Well, I won’t blame you for believing that there is one, though.
The way of saying that feels like the utmost consideration.
>>148It seems like Cocytus or Judecca would be the harshest in hell.
In the ending of Chrono Cross, the sudden mention of Zorwan confused many players, as he is also related to Zoroastrianism.
It has been said that the demon god of the Three Gods of FF6 was also Zuruwarn.
I like quotes from Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra and Beyond Good and Evil, yet I don’t think there’s anyone who has actually read them.
>>153I was on the side that smiled wryly after reading it and then seeing it start to be used in games and such.
>>200Did you read it properly? I didn’t understand what it meant because I was still a kid back then.
>>226Jumping straight into Nietzsche is tough, so it’s better to read Goethe or something beforehand.
Things that you know vaguely but not in detail…
I think it’s quite admirable for someone to take a step forward and seek to understand.
>>154I did try to understand! It’s just that I couldn’t!
Uh… I might have almost no knowledge about that… I’m just a weak otaku who only consumes anime and games…
The names Atorushan and Saoshyant have a fresh sound, don’t they, Emerald Dragon?
In Greek mythology, Cronus is often confused with two deities: the god of agriculture and the god of time, which can be troublesome.
I was ridiculous, boasting about it.
In the Orpheus myth, he is regarded as a single god~ I couldn’t compete with the real ancient Greeks who would casually start discussing it.
I know the word “lobotomy,” but I have no idea what it really means!
>>162Isn’t it great? It’s the Nobel Prize!
>>182Not that kind of lobotomy…
I realized that the crimson hell is too cold, and I somehow thought it was stylish; that was my former self.
That’s nice, isn’t it?
Norse mythology
>>164When playing Valkyrie Profile, I notice that gods have a divine interaction when they interfere with beings in the human world, but once they get close, they engage in raw human drama.
The four gods are seen in various ways.
The four divine gods are only seen in the mountains, rivers, and paths, so I don’t know about the color part…
I only know about Seiryu from Fushigi Yûgi, so I have no idea about anything else besides Suzaku…
Isn’t Markt the strongest?!
The Norn sisters Urd, Verdandi, and Skuld.
The Vibe Kaha Three Sisters of Morrian Mach Nevan.
The Moirai sisters: Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos.
The Harpy Sisters of Aeloro Kelaino Okypete.
The Gorgon Sisters: Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa.
The mythological realm is full of things like the three sisters.
FF gives names from mythology to things that are completely unrelated, which is way too confusing.
The life form that threw this box into space has four arms and four legs… scary…
I haven’t read the second and third parts of The Three Musketeers…
Aren’t the other four calamities, other than Tōtetsu and Tōkotsu, too minor?
>>176Konton!
>>181The imagined illustration from the description is too much of a cute character…
>>181Speaking of which, I haven’t seen a matcha dog recently…
>>176Kyuki and… tonkotsu?
>>176Because it doesn’t appear in Romancing SaGa.
>>176Konton is quite well-known, right!?
…It’s for a similar reason as Buell, but…
>>176I learned about Tōtetsu and Kyūki through Monster Strike, but I don’t know the other two!
Otaku really like the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle.
Please tell me the reason why you love quantum mechanics.
>>177Gya-ki!
>>177It seems suspicious, so they probably think they can say anything.
When actual formulas come up, I hold back.
The kanji for “purgatory” looks strong, which is bad.
The subtle has become the meaning of subtle.
When it comes to the Azure Dragon, it’s associated with the water element, right?
When I was in elementary school, I thought it was cool to call myself Marcut, which means “kingdom,” but when my childhood friend asked if it was because I was Maru-chan that I was Marcut, I abandoned the name.
The ringing of the New Year’s bell is misunderstood; it is said to be struck 108 times, corresponding to the number of worldly desires, but the misunderstanding comes from the fact that the 36 worldly desires are struck three times, resulting in 108, leading to confusion about the actual number of worldly desires, which is only 36.
Everyone loves dust explosions.
>>189What Dimension was doing.
It was the experiment where Sushi Ramen Riku was testing if pollen would explode.
