[QUOTE="muichimotsu, post: 68604043, member: 149131"] Symbolism is not a one meaning for all uses thing, though. Japanese aren't using symbols in any way that likely is meant to engender hostility to Christians, esp. because I'm pretty sure some mangaka are Christian themselves or take great influence from it, since they're not about just having one affiliation. Take Saint Young Men, by an author that I imagine could be Buddhist, Christian or both in some respect. It's very educational about Jesus and Buddha, but also has good humor in it. Dragons don't have the same association in Japan and China as the bible has. Just because you associate a dragon with Satan doesn't mean all uses of dragons by all authors are meant to be Satan. Rituals done in anime are usually done by bad people in my experience, so I don't think Japan is trying to spite Christians, esp. when they don't have a big Christian population to begin with.
