  • For Attack on Titan where this image comes from, they did a really good job.

    The peoole had been cut off from the outside world so seeing Onyankopon obviously would bring some questions. But they never stereotyped him because the characters of the show literally had no basis of what to think of him. Once he proved what kind of person he was, they judged him based on that. The Marlyeans knew that there was a ton of stuff and people they had no experience and most of them who had exposure just wanted to learn more.

    Additionally, Asian fetish surrounding Mikasa made a lot of sense for the same reason. Her race was nearly extinct as far as the people were concerned, and so they were seen as more exotic and valuable.

    Saying he was the Messiah in and of itself was subversive to established thought.

    The Jews at the time thought the Messiah would come in clad in armor, sword in hand, on a white horse, come to slay their enemies.

    Instead he rolled up humbly on a donkey talking nonsense like “love each other, treat others kindly”
