The phonetics of Isukiri's name is interesting: The way one would pronounce 'Jesus Christ' in Japanese would be 'Iesu Kirisuto', and it sounds uncannily similar to Isukiri. It's kind of fun to think about what implications it has on Isukiri's conception (being made up lol).

Eh, it sounds like a Japanese village name that vaguely and coincidentally resembles the Japanese name for Jesus Christ. I can't really see the uncanny part. Besides, even if Isukiri was named after Jesus, it wouldn't be that remarkable. In Central and South America, roughly 90% of towns have a religious name. But just because some town in Mexico or Peru is called Jesucristo or Santa Madonna doesn't mean Jesus and his mom visited the New World. I mean, Latin America was conquered by Catholics after all. And Japan, too, was home to Dominican and Jesuit missionaries in the 16th century. So if we go by Occam's Razor, this would be a far more likely explanation than some dude from 2,000 years ago traveling eastwards for 9,000km to an island he's never heard of for no particular reason.

Hey Chris, this journey is awesome it feels even more striking since I just finished your book, I've been around the channel now for almost a decade or so, I think your first video had been out 2 or so months when I saw it for the first time and I've been here watching since, your videos I spired me to visit Japan for the first time in March of this year, and while I didn't make it to the Tohoku region that time, it'sy plan for my next visit because I can't imagine not going back again. So thanks, for all the videos and memories, and for sharing a little more of yourself in the book.
