It just kinda annoys me how when reading God of Highschool, there are people saying that the manhwa is a rip-off of many other anime.
Like, when people claimed Mori and his weapons are a reference to Dragon Ball and his ability to create clones was a reference to Naruto.
No. Both Mori and Son Goku are inspirations taken from Sun Wukong, and if anything, Mori is the most accurate thing to the original myth. And yes. Sun Wukong can create clones, no it's not stolen from Naruto.
Same with Ilpyo's Hojosa. Not a Naruto reference. Nor Inuyasha- Both took inspiration from the original myth.
Finally, the whole part where we saw Kyoichi use Yata's mirror, and Kusanagi's sword, before summoning Yamato no Orochi.
Seeing people yell about how this was a Naruto parody baffled me, because it's actually Japanese culture !
It's lore from the Kojiki and history of kami.
Again, Naruto took inspiration from the japanese lore.
So please, do some researches on Google before claiming fake things and talk shit about an author who isn't even making actual anime references, especially when the author bothered to ACTUALLY explain the myths in the manga.
Like, I can get people actually think it's anime references. They can just Google to make sure, or not, and just make funny and harmless comments cuz yes, it's still funny that it can remind you of specific anime.
What I can't accept is people talking shit about the author and talk as if they know better without Googling beforehand, just to call him unoriginal cuz he's stealing ideas from popular anime, which is wrong.
Fun mention of the people who somehow managed to say that "Ragnarok" was taken from Noblesse-
#the god of high school#mori jin#park ilpyo#i'm pretty well-versed in the kojiki#and i was actually super happy to find the weapons of the three most important kami in shinto#i really love how this manhwa is a melting pot of different myths
