These guys are literally a Japanese, but worldwide crime syndicate and death cult where their higher ups are undead ninja. And they serve a demonic master who gives them the ability to cheat death or resurrect at the cost of morality of individuality.

You literally cannot make this any easier for a Blade story. Especially considering that many writers out there struggle to come up with completely original material when there are plenty of evil organizations out there in the world that are fit for being on the receiving end of his sword. So many of the themes that Blade stories make use of are ready to be implemented from supernatural, dark action, ancient conspiracies, human immorality, etc.

C'mon, Marvel. Stop acting like this is hard.

I bet if a Japanese studio was writing this that they'd bust it out of the park.

After playing another round of Baldur's Gate 3, I couldn't help but imagine some of our favorite Overlord characters existing in this world. And with so many different deities out there with different portfolios, it is interesting to imagine how the New World characters might integrate into different faiths.

Without a doubt, Clementine would be a Bhaalist. Her speech about how she considers murder to be in art and a passion would make her fit right in with the murder hobos of his church. An ironically enough, Clementine would probably be one of the more sane members of the congregation.

Fluder has outright said that he believes in a deity that presides over magic, which undoubtedly means he would be a follower of Mystra. I can't exactly say how competent he would be in the Forgotten Realms setting, but, he would more than likely see out the likes of Elminster or Mordenkainen, hoping to become one of their students. He'd absolutely salivate over a Mystra statue before he went out in the morning every day, without fail.

Even though they traditionally don't believe in deities and more so have faith in their ancestral spirits, I don't think it would be completely out of character for Zaryusu to fall into the tenants of the Lathander church. His primary goal has always been for the Lizardmen to have prosperity and he himself is something of a visionary, bringing in new ideas to the culture in order to help them achieve a better future, even if he's kind of alone in his thinking.
