The lack of 4 feathered wings amd canine features is what bothers me the most.

It's like someone ordered Satanic Panic on Temu.

Not an expert but I think it could be argued that 'youths' were assigned male not at birth but at 15 years old.

Yoko Ono also wrote in 2011 that she chanted daimoku during an earthquake, while taking cover with her family.
"I learned [daimoku] just by watching people around me recite it since I was young. It's like a kind of music, and even if you don't know the meaning, just reciting it calms your mind." 2/2

Ephesians 6 is a classic reference for spiritual warfare, deliverance prayers and other anti-demonic practices, so I'm confused why the author chose Ephesians 1:18-19.

the character recites it like this, omitting the beginning of the 18th verse: "聖徒たちがつぐべき神の国がいかに栄光に富んだものであるか、また、神の力強い活動によって働く力が、わたしたち信じる者にとって" and suddenly cuts off because the chant proves ineffective against an enemy that doesn't have ears
