That is like saying eating fried chicken is a Christian association. At least three levels of detachment from the beliefs.

Anon it may be hard for you to hear this but japanese video game developers don't really do deep dives into religion, mostly they just parrot SMT. Someone saw a picture of Baphomet on a schizo geocites page and thought it looked cool so they put it in

the hydra is greek yes, but the significance of "seven serpents" is tied to christianity and the book of revelations

The beast with seven heads was never a hydra or snake like. Later illustrations borrowed that design in some cases but it doesn't mean shit.

Why does religion have to be so indirect in the writing? Like there are at least two and possibly three 7-headed monsters active at once and they aren't given specific names in favor of just being called a beast.

A lot of that stuff is talking in code so people who aren't in the know can't prove with 100% certainty that you're saying that the Emperor is a supreme jerk and ruining everything.
