Christian symbolism is a common go-to to add "mystic" flavor in anime, similar to how Hollywood draws from Pagan themes. Catholicism and the Vatican are especially popular and often blended with magic, demons, possession, vampires. This week's list takes a look at seven priests with less than holy personalities.


That is what greets the readers when they decide to click on the column and see the List. So it seems pretty clear they were limiting the List to Christianity. If they meant to include Buddhism and other religions that may contain Priests then they wouldn't have singled out Christianity.

Ah, I didn't notice that, Ronin2081. I guess I should RTFM next time, eh? Razz

Hmm... ah!

The priest guy from Samurai Champloo. The one that was pretending to be a priest until a... uh, *conveniently* timed collapse of a statue brought an end to him.

Honorable mention to Adam Blade/Zero from Needless a priest who keeps grenades in his Bible just in case.


He really should have won it, to me, if not because of the grenades then because of his obsession with lolis.


sorry but that wasnt gonna happen. sure he should have been on the list instead of nightroad, but no one was gonna outdo anderson. However wolfwood should have easily have been number 2.

Though i am more surprised that Kotomine wasnt included in this list. I definitely would have put him in number 7 instead of that guy from 07-Ghost.

Especially of all the things he did in FSN while under the cloth and in F/Z . that alone should have bumped him in this list.
