Quetzalcoatl story (Spoiler)

What mythology are you talking about? From the story? 'Cuz there's no such thing with Mexica/Aztecs involving Quetzalcoatl and she is a he whom many similarities with Jesus Christ himself..

Wikipedia said:

In the Codex Chimalpopoca, it is said Quetzalcoatl was coerced by Tezcatlipoca into becoming drunk on pulque, cavorting with his sister, Quetzalpetlatl, a celibate priestess, and neglecting their religious duties. (Many academics conclude this passage implies incest.) The next morning, Quetzalcoatl, feeling shame and regret, had his servants build him a stone chest, adorn him in turquoise, and then, laying in the chest, set himself on fire. His ashes rose into the sky and then his heart followed, becoming the morning star (see Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli).[25]

On the other hand, the manga seems to be sure what happened. Chapter 27 page 6 says she "violated her younger sister and got expelled from her throne". Which doesn't match Wikipedia's version.

Quetzalcoatl is a MALE... not a female. Not the first time Japan has done this as I seem to recall them doing the same thing with Oda Nobuna no Yabou . And also with Rokka no Yuusha using the temples we did which was strange seeing the cast pale mix of Japanese and European and the rest are I guess a representation of us who are varied shades of light brown to very black skinned complexion.

Not surprising. The author chose what they liked for the narrative of their story and altered it. It's nothing new tho I cringe seeing Quezacothl as female I know it ain't real. You shouldn't rely on Wikipedia so much. You can use it as a beginners to get an idea of something but not use it as factual. Further in that page you missed how there are multiples of different folklore's if they are even true in the first place that it came from my people and not the typical twisting from Europeans with wild imaginations of vainly interpreting what has nothing to do with them.

Further, the codex Chimalpopoca is also lost. All that is left is speculative talk of the copies the Europeans who stole basically everything of my people's stuff can't even find it themselves further the ones who claimed to have studied it in the late 19th century are going by what they think and not by any of us even when we taught then the Nahuatl and other languages they usually can't help but spin it. Further, it was studied by I think one of my people in the 16th century who spoke both Nahuatl and Spanish and the issue with this is that his work went into the hands of Jesuits which is automatically bad since they are cunning and evil. This is the work in question "Relacion historica de la nacion tulteca" if you can read the language that is as I dunno if there's an English translation.

Anyways, that should be looked into for anything Indigenous from the mouth of an actual descendant and not from the twisted lips of Europeans. If you look at the references of the link you used they are from the 1980s to the present so unless they source from actual Indigenous descendants of Mexico testimonies I would seriously be cautious since historically speaking Europeans have a tendency of exaggeration and straight out lie however many people don't care about accuracy even when it comes to Indigenous history as long as it comes from the lips of Europeans who have been for centuries been telling my people's history in many documentaries for example and hardly any of them has us talking about our history which is typical of control freaks with a god complex.

Going by this quote "The exact significance and attributes of Quetzalcoatl varied somewhat between civilizations and through history" there is no "varied civilizations throughout history" only we Mexica people along with my Mayan brethren (who called him Kukulkan) wrote of him.

2) It's nice to know so much about your national mythology. My people's national mythology is so thoroughly lost that neo-pagans use a known hoax (Book of Veles) as a reference because it's still better than making stuff up.

3) I do not understand how the concept of "true" applies to stories. If a story was told, it exists, right?

5) Speaking of Rokka no Yuusha, it is worth mentioning that actual Japanese are different shades of light brown. Just look at photographs of any Japanese who were not chosen for their good looks (like male mangaka and directors), and you'll see their skin is often a lot darker than a typical anime character. So I consider that to be part of the style, just like giant eyes.
By the way, I suspect that mezoamerican style was something they added only in the anime. I did not notice anything like that in the novels, which might be the reason why characters (who have the same design as in the novels) don't match the backgrounds.
