>>179085Trad West @trad_west_ - This anime isn't biblical or aims to be Christian, but a fun fact about it is...
Jesus Christ is actually the strongest character in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
In Part 7 (Steel Ball Run), the story includes a relic called the "Saint's Corpse", and it's heavily implied to be the body of Christ.
These relics grant miraculous powers because they hold holy power beyond comprehension.
Even in this wild, fictional universe, Jesus is portrayed as the source of ultimate strength and healing.

The Angel Gabriel appears to Mary and tells her she will bear the Son of God. The entire fate of the human race hinged on the absolute submission of a young, unmarried girl in Nazareth.
To understand the profound theology of the Annunciation, you have to understand the Fall.
In the Garden of Eden, a virgin (Eve) listened to a fallen angel, asserted her own prideful will, and brought death into the world. In Nazareth, a Virgin (Mary) listened to a faithful Archangel, submitted her will entirely to God, and brought Life Himself into the world.
As Saint Irenaeus wrote in the 2nd century: "The knot of Eve's disobedience was loosed by the obedience of Mary." She is the New Eve.
She gave her "Fiat" (Let it be done unto me according to your word). No hesitation, no thought about herself. Absolutely and holy obedient unto her Lord.
In that single moment of perfect obedience, the gates of hell were shattered, and the infinite Creator of the universe took on human flesh. The spiritual war for our souls officially turned the tide.
The Blessed Virgin Mary's fiat, her yes, opened the way to our salvation.
When she said her Fiat ("Let it be done to me"), the Holy Spirit overshadowed her. Mary officially became the living Ark of the New Covenant. The God who cannot be contained by the cosmos physically confined Himself to a mother's womb to wage war on sin and death.
