Why does Hebrew often use in Anime as some sort of magical incantation? its not some sort of arcane language.
Also, if they're gonna use it to depict magic they should do it properly. If they want to summon a bird (ציפור) then should write that rather than honk (צפור) unless you want to summon something else entirely.
Because the Jews are God's chosen people, so they're endowed with great powers by Him. The Nazis learned that the hard way when they opened the Ark of the Covenant.
You know, I haven't seen much intersection between Japanese and Jewish cultures. Obviously I won't find anything relevant on that here, but this really does get me thinking.

They are the chosen people but not in the way they think. Think of Jews as the weird retard asburger ADHD boy in class that the teacher (God) has to constantly micromanage lest he burns up the school.
Blake Price
The father of alchemy was a jew. This is also the reason why you see stars of david in magic
Owen Rodriguez
I've seen a fair bit. they love using it and Latin for incantations whenever something magical happens.
Not to mention symbolism like star of David, Solomon's seal etc.
William Ramirez
Because written Hebrew looks cool and mystical, just like Norse runes.
To be fair, we also like using Latin for whenever something magical happens.
Henry Davis
צפור is perfectly fine
Easton Rivera
that's literally how it works in western magic (which takes from the qabbalah, which has signs from jewish because it's made by jews). so their magic is realistic
Is Latin being constantly used for magical shit supposed to mean that the Romans were a literal wizard empire which fell into minority after the rise of an anti-pagan, Christianity-religion? That's usually what comes to mind for me.
Brody Brooks
I assumed it was mostly "wizards are educated; educated people know Latin." Latin was THE language of science and culture for centuries, persisting even today in things like the scientific names of species in a taxonomy. And everyone knows magic happened in the past and then died out, which fits with using a language from the past that died out. Also shades of the post-Dark Age rediscovery of lost knowledge, like magic, which clearly doesn't exist today.
That, and nerds running around yelling LIGHTNING BOLT! LIGHTNING BOLT! is clearly dumb as shit, whereas even faux Latin like expecto patreon or whateverthefuck sounds cool as shit. That, and your audience isn't going to know what, if anything, it means, which adds to the verisimilitude—they don't know magic, either.

They prefer to do it subtly by their strongest elders and it being toometa3us by using כֶּסֶף >If they want to summon a bird (ציפור) then should write that They use KDKW, 0/10 apply yourself
Luke White
It's just austistic loser acadmic romaboo faggots. That's all. Those fucking book thumping geeks have a boner for rome and greece that is just ridiculous as fuck. You have no idea.
Hunter Stewart
The Romans had a fucking boner for Greece. They stole their entire pantheon like we stole Japan's vocaloids and 2hus.
Bentley Wood
no its not.
Lucas Peterson
giant nose pimples is all I see
That's not how light and shadows hit a nose
Mason Anderson
Yes, it is. It's not written like that usually to avoid needless ambiguity, but it is not wrong.
Noah Gutierrez
I didn't know about that! Interesting stuff, thanks user.
Zachary Green
Pretty sure that just says Funowasu in Katakana.
Kevin Thomas
no its not. there are rules to a language. The only way to write ציפור by writing צִפור with a Hiriq, and you cant write with an invisible Hiriq.
Elijah Nelson
They did the same for every tribe they conquered.
Carson Richardson
there are a few similarities between Hebrew and Katakana, which did spawn a few crazy theories. they're BS though.
