Japan thinks the rest of the world is equally not-Japan. I’ve never seen a country close itself off from the rest of the world like Japan does.

It's like when Americans make a movie about some foreign setting, and there's clearly an underdog character, or some belief that's common to Americans, and it just feels so out of place when you think about it.
It's really hard for creative artists to make something that has nothing to do with their culture, if not borderline impossible.

They were literally closed off to the world for thousands of years. It's one of the reasons why their culture is so different from anything else out of there.

It's pretty clear that all of Game Freak's knowledge of any non-Japanese location was gained in one vacation and a few google searches. That's why Kalos feels like Disney Land and why Alola feels like a guided tour.

I recently realized this is the reason almost all classical paintings of Jesus are white. The artists had only ever known their surroundings and thus based it off of what they knew.

I think a good comparison to draw is star trek vs doctor who.
Star trek is about humanity's best and brightest, though rag-tag, trailblazing their way across space.
Dr who is about a single chosen person visiting, teaching and protecting others, through space and time.
You can really notice the difference in american and british ideologies

a) Citing examples of a trope in american fiction doesn't make the trope american.
b) Half of the examples you cited are not american in origin. Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast are both adaptations of non-american tales in which the underdog characterization of the protagonists in virtually unchanged.
>>40054232
Underdogs are ubiquitous is british literature, too. King Arthur, Henry V, Oliver Twist, Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, Harry fucking Potter.
But not just there. David and Goliath, Perseus, Beowulf. It's an ancient fictional archetype, and it persists in the modern psyche around the world. Look at the movies coming out of Bollywood or Hong Kong or Iran. Look at the glut of anime and manga featuring interchangable shonen protagonists who overcome great odds through sheer determination and grit.
I'm not saying that american storytellers don't love to pluck the low-hanging fruit of the underdog, just that it's disingenuous to characterize it as an american trope.

In fairness, I do kind of see where this came from since despite how the rest of the world views Curry Rice they're still conscious of how it was developed from things done by British sailors. But it's still pretty glaring to have English camping without such staples as Beans.

Sorry to disappoint, then. Following the colonization of India, Indian spices became a staple of Navy ships because even after they'd been in storage for an entire voyage and turned they'd still impart strong flavours. This is why Japan's oldest brand of curry powder (House, I think?) has a uniquely long list of ingredients, because it's specifically trying to replicate the taste of curry powder blends carried by the English that were long past their best.
>>40054762
Indian continent style curry, what the Japanese know by Nakamuraya. Curry rice is distant from that, much closer to a European stew with curry spices in places of typical herbs, which the English sailors made for the reasons listed above. It's considered yoshoku (western-style cooking) despite Japan's further proximity from Europe than India. Its difference from other curry dishes can be further emphasized by its similarity to the later dish Hayashi rice, which is essentially the same except in demi glace resulting in a very typical beef and onion stew.

Karate is disproportionately loved in the West.Brits gave Japanese their love of curry when they made Japanese men eat meat to meet protein quotas when they were allies. Japanese curry is thus very much inspired by British curry.
