I mean, I feel like making Jesus a samurai is as authentic to history as making him a blond white dude.

Also, wandering the countryside, helping out the peasants and tweaking the nose of the establishment, gathering a crew of like-minded friends/followers, and culminating in an act of self-sacrifice which results in the protagonist's willing death? I can easily see how someone could imagine, "what if Jesus, but ronin?".

Shit. Im gonna end up buying one or both of these at some point...
