Look at the inspiration behind Tensen
According to reports, Tensen is inspired by the Eight Immortals mentioned in Chinese mythology. They are considered a symbol of “longevity, vitality and prosperity”. Over the years, people continued to worship them and even built temples across Taiwan and China for them.
They all possess different powers and the same is reflected in the members of Tensen, as follows, Gui Fa, Ju Fa, Mei, Mu Dan, Rien, Tao Fa and Zhu Jin.
At the same time, Tensen’s dependence on the elixir of life is similar to the Eight Immortals’ love for wine. The same thing is mentioned in a poem written by Du Fu titled The Bowl of Immortal Wine.
The original plot was different
The plot of Hell’s Paradise has attracted a large audience thanks to its uniqueness and excitement. However, that is not always true. In an interview, Kaku mentioned that the original idea was about children being sent to youth detention and lawyers trying to fight for them.
After discussion with his editor, Kaku decided to change the plot. “We kept the same framework because I always liked the way human relationships change and wanted to write a story about it,” he said.
Talking about the main character Gabimaru, he said: “I think it would be more interesting if a character who was supposed to die ended up in a near-death situation. When considering how to convey that to the reader clearly, we came up with a ninja who wouldn’t die no matter how many times he was executed.”
