Why are Romance of the Three Kingdoms characters always wanked so much in Anime and Manga as being the bestest, smartest and strongest people ever?

They're also the only Chinese characters that the Japanese respect despite their usual racism.
Older = better. Japan barely has any recorded history before 500 CE. Chinese literature and mythology predating that is probably seen as a shared culture the way Western nations view Ancient Greece & Rome.
>despite their usual racism.
>Kofun people resemble Han
Oh no, DNA test results getting cocky.
Is like a King Arthur deal. They're folk heroes.
SSJG Goku, Erza and Shanks horse?
Very few modern Western works treat King Arthur as an invincible awesome paragon though.
Asians don't hate their cultural heritage. It persists even though the commies did their best to destroy it.
King Arthur is also a fictional character, historians are pretty sure that he either never existed or he was a very minor noble and most certainly not a king, but got a bunch of glorified fanfics written about him later.
What are you implying? please explain
>But muh Chinese super warriors are totally real bro
Becouse Based generals like Zhang Liao and Lu Meng existed.
The characters from Romance of the Three Kingdoms probably existed and events similar to what happened in the book probably happened, but the book's author took a lot of creative liberties.
>Lu Bu was defeated and died begging for his life like a bitch, offering to work for Cao Cao but nobody trusted him because he was a backstabbing asshole
>UM, ACTUALLY, he was like so strong that there was nobody on Earth strong enough to pose a challenge, so he let himself get captured and executed because he's so badass! Also he was like totally honorable and never betrayed anyone!
So much copium.
Japs are chinks and gooks
That is a fact
They were real people but the book was written with a lot of creative liberty + propaganda.
Romance of the 3 Kingdoms isn't the only work that suffer from this writing style, Journey to The West also did that too.
So kind of like Julius Caesar's Commentary on the Gallic Wars?
Because they were. Never played Dynasty Warriors?
Yes, the key when researching them is learn to pick them apart and see which elements were real, which were exasperated and which were false. And even the false detail could contain some true to them.
You're actually retarded
One interesting thing is that back then, writers would always inflate how many enemies they killed, while nowadays it's usually the opposite.
But Lu Bu lost in that series
