Morning Two magazine has recently published a manga booklet portraying holy men Jesus Christ and the Buddha as sentai power rangers, fighting off evil demons in typical religious fashion.
The manga is entitled “Saisei Sentai Holy Men”, and is a side-story of 聖☆おにいさん / Sei☆Onii-san / Saint Young Men, itself a popular gag manga featuring Buddha and Jesus cohabiting in Japan.The booklet is an adjunct to online publication of the title, lest anyone not feel like buying the magazine anymore.
Success brings with it the intriguing possibility of a live action adaptation, though what at times pathetically timid Japanese publishers would do were anyone to object to the work on any grounds whatsoever is not hard to imagine.
There is of course one character who is likely to remain notable by his absence…

But does he have a giant robot?
Then they can fuse together to form an even bigger one xD
Heh, they can call it the Super-God Revelatron.
LOLz! Another creative work from Nippon xD
Hell, we always knew Jesus and Buddah were GAR.
lOOOL. Its not sentai with without a gaint robot.
Let me present to you Saint Seiya.
Buddha:"Jesus, lets combine!"
Jesus :"Roger that comrade lets do it!"
Both :"For Peace, Justice, Love and Friendship, GATTAI!" *Gurren Lagann sytle*
JESUS!
BUUDHA!
BY OUR POWERS COMBINED, WE FORM SUPER GOD REVELATRON! EVIL WILL BE PUNISHED!
Imagine them transforming into "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann" man this gonna be AWESOME!
So, do they pierce the Heavens or Hell?
"HOLY SUPREME ULTIMATE PURIFYING GIGA DRILL BREAKER!" Yes they do(^-^).
If by "gattai" you mean "fastening yourself to something by means of sharp objects", Jesus can always use his carpenter skills with a crucifix and a couple of nails.
From South Park episode "Super Best Friend" i presumed? :)
Nice! now im interested about this manga...
Jesus can always use his carpenter skills with a crucifix and a couple of nails.
HAMMER HELL! HAMMER HEAVEN!
SHINING FINGER!
Holy Moe Moe Kyun
You win sir!
C'mon Jesus ! Now is the time to make them taste the power of your Christian Hyper Kick !! XD
"To heaven, and beyond!"
Is this some sort of Christian Magic?
"There is of course one character who is likely to remain notable by his absence…"
Lemme guess, "The Prophet"?
Yeah the Japanese doesn't want to face the music likeone of the European country which showed a cartoon character depicts "The Prophet Nabi Moham...........................................................................(connection cuts off)
Now Muslim-tachi dind't recieve own holy-ranger
Yeah, I like the idea of my prophet in the sentai. It will be awesome. Gathering their forces together with other religion to fight evil(that includes osama ben laden) but a LOT of peoples in my country(malaysia) would probably hang japan if they dares to do anything to my prophet. The country are ultra-conservative but at the same supporting the US infidels (ironic isnt it?) plus a lot of japan companies are operating in Malaysia plus we never get over japan invading malaysia in the last war. Yeah. Thats my sum Japan cant include Him.
Rest assured, your so called "prophet" burns forever in Hell together with the rest of you muslims.
Note to the newbies: ALWAYS ignore this man/woman.
^

Wow. That's some of the most outrageous things I have heard in a while. How about some cultural sensitivity?
Waterfall Towers eats Narcissist.
Nah, malaysia's alright, as long as you don't live in the rural areas.
JESUS CHRISTOOOO!!!!
GODOOOO FINGAAAAAAAAAAH!
This is exactly what we need, like the episode of South Park :)
SUPER BEST FRIENDS!
"SUPER FRIENDS"
I know I know...
they also the ride the Je-Bus...
oh wait.. Jeebuz looks like an Indian Vampire...
Now that you mention vampire, i can't help but think about Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter, a canadian b-movie about jesus killing vampires..
I watched that. I was expecting win and awesome, but it was fail and awful. And not "so bad it's good" like the fast and the furious etc, it was just fucking shithouse in every way shape and form.
it was awful, but hey, they had a couple of sentences where i seriously started rolling on the floor laughing.
all in all it's a poor movie; excellent idea, too bad it was too poorly made.
This is an absolutely brilliant manga and I cannot wait for scans of this side story to come out. It should be amazing.
Man i bet this manga will make religion look AWESOME. What the hell am i saying? Buddha and Jesus are AWSOME, UBER COOL!!!! :)
It should be perfect.
It will.
GO GO CHRISTIAN RANGERS! MIGHTY RELIGIOUS CHRISTIAN RANGERS!!
~ Oh YOU! :)
Not enough mana? How about some Jesus juice?
*ding*
[9000 mana restored]
Eat THAT you stupid blue mage, telling me i need more mana
It's over 9000?
Heh...
"Do you know the method of mana transfer?"
oh gosh...
LOL I had a feeling this was related to Sei☆Onii-san; the art-style looked familiar. I really need to start reading the series, what I've seen of it really cracks me up.
Jesus + Buddha = Judas? *isshot*
Jesus + Buddha = Juddha (also spelled Judah)
Hmm, I wonder if Muhammad will guest-star.
If Muhammad would be guest star, then it would be the end of japanese indutries cooperation with oriental and arabic and muslem world.
This would make a big chaos if they draw Muhammad in the manga.
They could make a giant tentaclemonster called Mahammad, trying to tentacle-rape little boys and girls, which gets defeated by the holy rangers.
There's no need to tell everybody that mr. Mo is meant.
hoi hoi hoi.. watch it. you're al.....most cross the borderline. like christian got Templars, i'm afraid moslems got themselves Jamaah Islamiyah......
our Prophet never depicted in picture, just the arabic letter. if this SiiOniisan got a pics (even a SUBTLE one) Japan's peaceful days is over...
nevertheless, Enjoy the manga!
Buddha: this is not DS Lite.. THIS IS DS LIGHT!!
It would be great to see The Prophet in action.(as a hero of course!)
If they're ever going to put Mohammad in, they should potray him as something similar to Zordon. Heh.
Waiting for a spinoff of this spinoff, starring Judas and Mara.
Peace! Justice! Love! Friendship! With our powers combined, we form SUPER GOD REVELATRON!
Might the other iconic character in question be Beard-sama?
Soon the catholics will start whining. Really they're so tight assed about everything. (Well probs won't hear about this, doesn't look like best seller material [No offense to HC fans intended,] somebody has to read this...)
Bugger off. I'm Catholic, and I approve of this series.
Don't confuse the majority with those crazy fundamentalists, they're the otaku of Christianity.
COMRADE~!!
Im with you!!!
Go us the average, only obeying half the laws Catholics
Are you kidding? Even the Bible tells us not to follow stupid laws.
Fundies are the biggest sinners.
Brother!
This series looks awesome btw. XD
I'm not sure what exactly you were trying to convey with this post.
Maybe not? I'm a Catholic and I think this sounds pretty cool.
I'm Roman-Catholic and I find this manga to be okay. No, cool, to be exact.
These materials are rare; for if you portray things such as this, "what you just said" would be the current situation now.
Yep. This is good. Actually, it really got my attention. :D
:| I'm Catholic and I find this okay. Maybe super die hard Catholics or Christians but not all.
On the contrary, it tends to be the darn protestants that are extreme when it comes to Christians. Most of us Catholics are pretty indifferent when it comes to this sort of thing.
I'm Catholic and I think this is actually pretty cool...
An Andrew Lloyd Webber reference in the title, I see.
they look like rapists....
+1
Apparently they read Sinfest.
i can only imagine how the conservative american public will react to this... -__- gonna go for an all out ban like Rapelay?
looks like an interesting gag anime. wonder how its going to play out.
Curiously, I haven't really seen much protest about Sei Oniisan. Of course, it hasn't exactly been licensed elsewhere, either... and I doubt it will be.
NIPPON JESUS IS FTW!
Would read. Would definitely read.
when will Chuck Norris or Oprah appear in this series?
set to appear in the manga are the following
1. chuck norris
2. mr t
3.oprah
4.satan
5.goku
6.simon from gurren lagann
7.cloud
8.sun wukong
9. sam jackson as l from death note
10. some random chick with a lot of breast
11.obama
12.morgan freeman as light yagami
and 4 chan will help make the anime
And you forget No.13,Samuel L Jackson as "L" :)
That was total what he had as #9...
wow ppl actualy commented on my nutty ass comment lol
I like how ~ 3.oprah (and) 4.satan ~ are soo close together... :)
Ndeed, they are one in the same.. because Oprah is Satan!
this list of supporting characters is fuckin' win
Chuck Norris needs to be in this. As the story goes he was born with a third testicle, but baby Chuck Norris ripped it out and threw it into outer space. His third testicle latter became the celestial body we known as the Jupiter.
Where does Bill Gates come in? it's gotta be somewhere near satan and oprah
Jesus Christ Almighty with a Cross staff. This is WOW-SOME~~!!!!!
imba hahaha
Good to see the religious extremists aren't that well-spread around the world as I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't last very long here despite being a free country.
Look again, dear CC.
Wait. Where's Satan on the front cover..?
Oh my, the power levels in this one goes through the roof!
Jesus and Buddha in sentai roles is ultra broken with god~like abilities.
I just hope they don't add harem in this or else we'll have a slim chance seeing this made into anime. XD
"I just hope they don’t add harem in this or else we’ll have a slim chance seeing this made into anime. XD"
youtalk like it's got a chance in the first place...
I'm positive there will be an anime version as long as it's not immoral.
This is still fiction unlike the Da Vinci Code who claims that all it declares is true.
You both talk like it doesn't.
I give it 2 years, tops. Who knows? KyoAni might pick this up for the lulz.
Their power levels are over infinity!
THIS...
I will watch this, definetely o_o
Imagines Haruhi as a Yellow Ranger
And that's exactly the missing character.
Jesus: hey dad!! :)
Haruhi: ...heh?!?!
HAHAHAHAH
genuine laughter was had, thank you.
Jessy: I AM YOUR SON!
Haruhi : NOOOO~
I'D BUY THIS MANGA! Woot! XD
Wtf???? Are they really run out of idea... Bringing religion into anime world.... =.=
What the hell are you talking about? Haven't they always?
clearly you never heard of evangelion.
..and Xenosaga :3
And pretty much most of series, since they almost always have some kind of religious references.
And where the hell is moses????
Where's the Muhammad and Moses?
They are not Gods! Out of topic, you dweebs!
I'm warning you Japan, never follow Denmark's example on what it did to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him) or we'll burn your embassies, kill every Japanese citizen on sight and even attempt to massacre the entire Imperial Family. Such blasphemous portrayals of our Prophet is UNFORGIVABLE!!
Allahu Akbar!!
Na'am...
Terakhir juga JoJo kan sudah direvisi.
But on second thought, what would a person like you, doing in a site like this?
I LOLed at this one, good observation^^
LOL'd too XD
"kill every Japanese citizen on sight" ?
There is no peace for you, TERRORIST.
You don't have the compassion on the innocent, so I'm sure both your feet are steeping into the pits of hell.
Amen to that Hattori, people like him/her gives Muslim followers bad names thus they will group as TERRORIST.I bet your Allah won't forgive you if "kill every Japanese citizen on sight", because of such trifle religious matters. Don't think bad about me, i do have Muslim friends and we respect each other despite our religious background.Your response to this topic is just pathetic and unrational my resentful Muslim blogger.
fuck muhammad
Allahu General Akbar!!
WATCH UR TONGUE ANON
we respect our prophet just like we respect Him
Haruhi is the one and only God. Praise be to she who is not here.
fuck Haruhi! :D
oh please, the empire of the rising sun wont fall so easily
but the allies is got stronger, ya?
What the heck dude. It only some next make believe guy.
obvious troll is obvious.
dont make us moslems looks worse than this
grow up douchebag!
technically Jesus should have short hair and buddha should be bald.
Funny how they put them in Japan despite that neither of them probably even heard of Japan during their lives.
Also South Park did it. WITH Mohammed.
Superficial Friends?
Yep. The episode where they fought David Blane's religion.
Oh, you clearly don't know about the sect in Japan that believes Jesus transferred to Japan instead of just dying on the chross and kept living there for other 70 years or so, marrying and giving birth to sons. Can't recall the name actually, but more or less that's the story.
Also Jesus is portrayed more or less like that, even if with brown hair and more beard than he has in the manga, but like this he appears younger, and fits better the role of an "onii-san".
This is definitely the best manga i've ever read anyway, i can't help but laugh like an idiot every page i read.
Not to mention the last t-shirt i saw jesus wearing, where it was written "父と私と精霊", roughly "dad, me, and holy spirit"
AHHAHAAHAA rofl, can't help laughing
Usagi Mimi Jesus is WIN.
Ore wa tatakau...
MAGUDAREN NO TAME NI!
where is allah?
In hell...
allah is the same meaning as god to islam, christian and jews. If you go to any arab speaking country, doesnt matter what their religion they will say allah is their god. Even in indonesia christian use allah to call his god. so STOP ASKING!!!
Too bad Malaysia illegalized Christians from using the name Allah in their bible, hymns and other Christianity stuffs >_> Even Melly Goeslow experienced a cultural shock on that.
Anonymous' god is Satan, though. So it's accurate.
Melly Goeslow is anti-Christ
lolwut, what was her religion again?
All hail Satan!
Allah is Jesus's father, so can's be part of the Sentai squad.
But Allah can be the hakase ^w^
I wonder if this would be a hit... Religion is a very sensitive topic and it might cause trouble in the future depending on the way the story is formed...
Sreaw the make believing religion. That manga is going to be a hit.
I,m a catholic
and i think this very interesting manga. I have read 8 chapter of it
and the yakuza guys misunderstanding was make me laugh realy hard ./LOL
from my point of view, sometimes it's interesting to potray a religius figure in this way
because sometimes picture tells thousand words. and it potrayed in recent era. so the implication was great
It's not a blapshemy, its okay sometimes to laugh at ourself (or something we belief) =D
and I think majority of christian was more open when talking about their god more openly, while a few other religion might feel it was blapshemy (inflexible ?)
Am I the only one that keep fuzzing about the fact that I read the title as " Jesus Christ Super Hentai" ?
Indeed. The yakuza one was one of the funniest part. Lol, 3 days vs 7 years.
Jesus :"It was the will of my father".(^_^)
Yakuza:"Bro"? (O.O)
"WOAAHHH!!! YOU ARE THE 2ND GENERATION BOSS!!"
Lawl~
WAT?

What kind of bad guys are they fighting? Who's the dude behind jesus and buddha on the cover?
Oh how I had a good laugh reading comments made by religious fundies here.
FUCK AWESOME!!!
I LOVE YOU JAPAN!!!
WAw everyone's in manga!!!
not exactly everyone
SUPAJEEBUZ!!!
the prophet is dead, duh.
but if you want to include Islamic influence, you can always have a mob of Talibans holding Godzilla at bay while waiting SUPER GOD REVELATRON to gattai. and that Godzilla is the embodiment of this world's decadence.
... wait, that *is* awesome.
Go go Holy Rangers!
Go go Holy Rangers!
Go go Holy Rangers! You omnipresent Holy RANGEEEEERRRRSSS!
JESUS CHRIST!!!!!
Who's going to be the main villain, Richard Dawkins?
David Blaine.
The main villains would be the Bible Humpers from the Bible Belt because Jesus wants Christianity to be more exciting than Fundamentalist.
i loled
It's blasphemously funny. xD
Laugh all you want but you're making fun of the Creator of the Universe.
hi im catolic tooo.... well i aprove so much this , i can see the high grade of cooperation in this too religions , i can see buddism and cristianity are in great peace and cooperation , without the musli......s the grath evil pulpe rapin kids like aish...... a --
cut the comunicationss ... .s.. ..
To visualize god in manga character...
that sounds like our gods been discredited...
Will Mary Magdalene appear in this manga? If she does, will this be a sort of love triangle between Jesus-MM-Buddha?
reminded me of AVGN's Super Mecha Death Christ II...
in the interview the author was saying that the Prophet will never appear in this manga. it is considered too risky
This is plain blasphemy! How dare you treat the creator of the Universe, Jesus as if He never existed?
Don't mix religions with your hobby.
THEY'RE GONNA FIGHT FOR OUR SINS!!!
