Cool Mugen -- Description:
The claimed grandson of Francis Xavier randomly shows up during a scene where Mugen refuses to step on a coin with the picture of Christ on it. The Christians in Japan were sought out this way.If they refused to step on the picture of Christ, they were assumed to be Christian and, therefore, persecuted. If the "grandson" had not shown up, Mugen would have been tortured or killed, for the Japanese people would have confused him with a Christian.
