Like picrel. The show was not about Hell or the occult or even just magical girls, so this 666 on one of the character's shirt is sus af. Like AFAIK, the only /x/ thing in this show is someone liking ghosts or something, but that is it.

There is also the puppet in a Japanese kid's show that had haircuts in the shape of 666.

Ok, so this is from Kimi no Todoke. The MC is supposed to kinda favor Sadako(from the Ring franchise). But still, why a 666 and not a well or or something ghosty?

You're overestimating things.

I think you're asking why Japan specifically likes to use a lot of occult themes in their video games and anime as well, The first thing that comes to my mind is this video explaining the Japanese's common trope in jrpgs about killing God(s) as the final boss in their video games.

But the long and short of it is that it's basically a Japanese cultural thing that's unique to them and their history which helped to inspire and influence their art and other forms of media. That's just how the Japanese likes to roll, I guess.

And also, to add on to what I said here >>40641577
The Japanese in general have always had a history with the creative arts and just being weird in general with their arts and stories. They've basically always been like this when it comes to their creativity, but I personally believe after WW2 and the subsequent two nuclear bombings they endured on their homeland, they basically had a huge creative and quite possibility a spiritual boom like no other country has ever seen before, and when creativity booms, you're going to get a bunch of strange themes being explored all throughout their creative media and culture, and that heavily includes occultism, religion, and so on and so forth.

There's no denying the creative impact Japan has had on the entire world with their video games, anime, manga, and even music as well.

I remember watching this back in 2008 when I was still in High School. Great storyline. I even fast forward through some of the sex scenes just to get back to the narrative. That one bathroom scene was kino though.

As a favored art form it is given life by the Muse and naturally takes on the familiar forms that come from traces of the ancient traditions in the West as well. Plus their artists have been part of the global cultural exchange for over a century. Like, they have an Eiffel Tower in Tokyo lol

Because symbols of the occult are so broad that there is literally NOTHING that doesnt include it.
I have challenged /x/ multiple times and they always fail:
Show me ANY piece of media that doesnt have occult symbolism.
Pointing out this or that media has occult symbols is like floating in the ocean going "OMG, it's wet over HERE too! What could this mean?"

Can you tell me what is occult about the Eiffel Tower? Is there a reason they have one in Vegas and other places outside of the Paris one?

Most of the time it's christian, jewish and alchemical symbols and they are used because for the Japanese audience those are cool and exotic and they don't have to deal with retards screeching that they are satanists for using those

It's edgy, cool and an easy way to make things look more ambitious, immersive and interesting than they would be otherwise - and it's used in all kinds of media for that reason, not just vidya or weebery.

Realistically, metal was pretty popular in Japan, and Japan in and of itself is a largely Buddhist country, so there's a lot less of a stigma to using, as far as they're concerned, aesthetically cool-looking symbols.

Also, is there a reason that you're using an intentionally edgy porno movie as an example?
