lol ppl at school call me jesus, and now looking at him...IHAZ A GUN XD yep i am look alot like takaya with black hair, brown eyes, no tattoos but thin and same hair style xD
people need to calm down....lol i agree that he looks like Jesus....my whole group calls him Zombie Jesus (I don't mean to offend anyone he just looks kinda gray and sickly to us.... )........and before people start freaking out i know i don't know how he really looked I'm just going by all the religious art work
Mainly because it probably is a reference to Jesus...a twisted form of it anyways. Takaya's group, Strega, believes him to be a Messiah of sorts, that his belief is absolute, that the future is worthless. He wishes for death upon the entire world, and thus, believes it to be the only salvation. That is his ultimate character flaw. And even if you don't believe a Jesus reference, his hippie like design ultimately goes against the stereotype. He hates all life, and wants to snuff everything out.

@TetsuwaShuujin hey i wouldnt be bragging about him if i were you, all christans and those who believed in christ and god burned witches for no reason, just because it said so in the bible. and for alot of so called "peacefull god" you guys sure do like violence and forcing your oppinions on other people. i am wiccan so who would burn a nature lover other than a christian?

@LaserCyth sorry but the end of the world wont be 2012. i hate peoples ignorance, i mean come on, our calanders end after every year, how do we know that isnt a mayan year?
@sirlloydoutcastofthe : I means no offense to the other religion, wiccan as well. And i wouldn't say all christian or so-called-themselves christian in the world sure is a good guy, after all there are still people who do wrong things such as burning people like that.
I didn't know where are you from, but even in every country in the world, every minor religion has it's own discrimination. we too, christian has been killed for some none reason by other religion as well.
The Shin Megami Tensei series by Atlus has been mocking The Jewish God Yahweh and Christian Christ Jesus since the Super Nintendo days. Yes the character looks like Jesus. I just bought the game yesterday at Gamestop for $14.95 new. I'm going to try it tonight.
i think he is a poke at jesus, the band around his head*like the crown of thorns* and the tattos he has are like the symbols jesus is usually depicted with (the heart with thorns around it) but perhaps im over analyzing because this is the only game iv'e been playing for the past 2 weeks XD

I just bought the game yesterday at Gamestop for $14.95 new. I'm going to try it tonight. Also from a quick look at past games the creators seem to Favor the Devil/Satan/Lucifer with great strength and weapons/etc....
Was the game you got the FES version? That around here is easy to find and not expensive. It's the same thing except with a few new additions such as persona you can fuse and I guess extra game play. But I heard that the original Persona 3 had a limited amount of copies... At least according to the Gamestops I called looking for the game.
I always figured it was intentional that Takaya resembled the common image of Jesus. Not only does he look like him, but his behavior looks like Jesus Christ portrayed in a negative light. First off you have his frequent philosophies of salvation, then at the end he uses his charisma to start his own religion based around the end of times. He eventually becomes a martyr of sorts at the hands of the former S.E.E.S. members.
That kinda ruins it for me. I have the DS strategy guide, and in the history section it describes how Japan is still all pissed at the west for essentially colonizing Japan, but this is a bit much. I mean, aren't a significant portion of Japanese Christian?
Actually, no. The vast majority of Japan is a mix of Shintoists and Buddhists. And believe me, this is barely the tip of the freakin' iceberg. Questioning Christianity has become so prolific in games and anime, it's about as cliche' as making the hero an overpowered spikey haired teenage swordsman with an elemental affinity to fire.
Is this a return to Japanese nationalism? That seemed to be the theme of the DDS strategy guide. Now that the US is no longer in its ascendancy, it seems that many foreign countries are casting off our collective influence.
I thought so too when I first saw him, and if you notice he seems to carry a red tatered cloth with him. I usually love the persona series but I hope they're not trying to get away with that. If you know anything about the series please tell me if he is ( and or is not ) jesus in the game or if its just a strange simularity. (not on purpose?
I'd rather see Jesus toting a Barret Light Fifty in one hand and a reefer cigarette in the other. We all know our Lord and Savior would have lots of style and His wrath would be unyielding. >=D
I freakin laughed when in P4 Teddie was in that same spot. I was freaked out.
