It's that time of year when Tumblr celebrates Easter by posting pictures of crucified anime characters, and inevitably somebody in the notes will pop up to helpfully explain that crucifixion imagery has no cultural significance in Japanese media because Japan is only about 1% Christian, which bugs me because it's completely wrong.
It's true that in the majority of cases, crucifixion in Japanese cartoons isn't meant to be conveying any specific theological message, but something Western audiences are likely to miss is that a large portion of those random crucifixion scenes are referencing Ultraman.
Ultraman's creator was a devout Roman Catholic who explicitly intended the titular hero to read as a Christ figure, and consequently, various Ultramen have been crucified on multiple unconnected occasions throughout the franchise's history. Crucifixion scenes in Japanese cartoons are often directly name-checking particular crucifixion incidents from Ultraman, right down to emulating the compositions and camera angles of specific shots. It's like an especially morbid version of the Akira slide.
The upshot is that, while it's true that the inclusion of gratuitous crucifixion scenes in Japanese cartoons typically has no (intentional) theological message, stating that they have no cultural significance is incorrect. A large chunk of the Japanese viewing audience are going to see them and immediately go "hey, that's an Ultraman reference".
Anyway, as an image tax, have a shot of four crucified Ultramen miraculously resurrecting a fifth Ultraman by shooting laser beams out of their hearts:

The crime syndicate hates Phantom
Captured Flash asked that one question. "And what is with that boy?" He looked outside where they seem to fight him.
Ultraman:" That is Phantom, a Hero of this World."
Flash:" Hero? I thought you all killed them."
Power Ring:" Not this one. He is too strong, and we kind of have to fight him all the time."
Flash:" Wait all of you…"
The Crime Syndicate:"Yes, all of us. And he pranks us all the time, as he doesn't kill and can't arrest us."
++
Flash as he was kidnapped/saved by Phantom and meets that young Hero boy.
Flash to himself. ' If we are villains here? Does that mean our world has a counterpart?'

Just learned that some of the concepts for Shin Godzilla's final omnipotent god form would have been its flesh sloughing off and revealing a giant ethereal lady.
Never change Hideaki Anno.

Tokusatsu is a crazy TV show genre cuz the show will literally have the most emotionally compelling story ever told with action scenes keeping you on the edge of your seat, and then the hero pulls out a fucking Hasbro toy for a weapon.
