Talk:Amakusa Shirō

message: What about Samurai X, the anime? The Shimabara arc of the series features a person called 'shojo amakusa' who claims to be son of god and such.. a similiar parallel is drawn - not even the name has been changed much.
:He appears with his real name in the Samurai Shodown games as well as in Square's Live a Live RPG. Interestingly he is a villain and a magician in both...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.157.76.57 (talk) 17:50, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

message: St Francis Xavier never prophesied anything like the coming of an Amakusa Shiro.  The writer is attributing to Xavier a bogus prophecy cooked up by the plotters who set Amakusa Shiro up as the figurehead-leader of the rebellion.  The so-called prophecy was purportedly left behind by a fictional missionary in Amakusa perhaps two generations before the birth of Shiro; it was written by the schemers and circulated around Amakusa and Shimabara as "proof" of Shiro's divine ordination to the leadership of a supposedly divinely-ordained rebellion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.101.32.86 (talk) 02:09, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

message: For future reference:
I was curious about User:46.99.1.137's repeated attempts to add an unsourced factoid about returning in 100 years to wreak revenge, so I looked for something to that effect on Japanese google and found nothing close to the often-repeated quote on the English-speaking side of things. This appears to be urban legend unique to the English-language side of things.

message: The article lists his names from various contexts: Shirō, Tokisada, Geronimo, Francisco & then refers to him as Shirō throughout.  The impression that I get is that he had the public name Shirō and several  probably-private, religious names. The first book in the bibliography mostly calls him Jerome. I am confused by the article listing the book and then not mentioning the name Jerome. Should it?
