Hiro Mashima, known for his manga Fairy Tail, posted an illustration of Sting Eucliffe tied to a cross on Twitter after a video report on his fan-meeting event held in October was released on his YouTube channel. In the video, two hard-core fans of the character appeared, and one of them revealed that Sting’s crucifixion scene had an impact on her fetish to the point where her dislike towards the character turned into her favorite.
His visual post came with a simple caption without mentioning the character’s name: “Doodle.”
The creator also shared a photo of a fan’s bag full of the character’s badges on the front, captioned as “Thank you! Sting fan!” In the video, Hiro Mashima asks the fan for permission to post it on Twitter.
The video report is available with subtitles in various languages:
Takahiro Sakurai, known for his roles as Giyu Tomioka in the Demon Slayer series, Arataka Reigen in Mob Psycho 100, Rohan Kishibe in the Jojo series, and more, voiced the Sting Eucliffe in the Fairy Tail anime series.
