The New face of Fire Emblem

 Anyone who calls themselves a Christian nationalist will be happy about the New face of Fire emblem! 

Under the title of Divine sovereign, the well known and sometimes controversial dragon protagonist of Fire Emblem fates Corrin is returning as a god king of a so far unnamed kingdom in the newest entire in the franchise called Fire Emblem fortune’s weave. 

Not much is known about what he will be doing in this new game as only one trailer has been released so far. 

However, we do know that the story will be focused around a grand tournament Called the Heroic Games which is to take place in an arena similar to the Roman colosseum. 

However what is more interesting is what this means for Fire Emblem going forward. 

For those who don’t know Fates stands out as the first Fire Emblem game to not just pro-religion but fervently pro-Christianity. 

For those who don’t know; Fire Emblem as a JRPG game franchise has always had very anti religious elements in its stories as Alm the protagonist of Fire Emblem echoes declaring, “the humanity doesn’t need gods!” 

However, Since Fire Emblem fates these anti religious elements have been removed entirely, for a start not only does fates never attack the religions of Nohr a nation inspired by the medieval German kingdom known as the Holy Roman Empire whose state religion was Catholicism a branch of Christianity which is often unfairly attacked even in Japanese media. 

But more importantly, fates actively promoted Christianity with Corrin not only being inspired by Jesus Christ himself sometimes I’ve already described at least before: https://davidpgordon64.blogspot.com/2022/02/dragon-jesus.html 

But also by his actions at the end of Fire Emblem fates Corrin must enter undergo death to unlock the true power of his sword the Yato, and plunge into the depths of the earth in order to save mankind in fates: revelation. 

After this the next game fire emblem: three houses would further break the mold by making its antagonist the anti religious Edelgard a Nieve young woman who is tricked into her beliefs by a vile and corrupt group of people known in game as those who slither in the dark, with Dimitri who is one of the games protagonists coming to the conclusion that mankind cannot exist without religion and more importantly God to guide them. 

Add now with the now god king Corrin making his “second coming” in fortune’s weave  it’s save to say for now on Fire Emblem is going to be very Christian.
