Why does Japan have such strange depictions of ancient China? Pic related, it's Zhou Yun and Guan Yu.

I'm still waiting for scientists and philosophers getting the same treatment. When genderswapped those have the best pairings.

You'd have vengeful bitch Newton dominating Leibniz and treating her like a slave, bullied moe~ Tesla and tsundere Edison, wheelchair-bound Hawking, Kepler lusting after Copernicus onee-sama, Engels-tan trying her best to keep both herself and disorganized, daydream-prone Marx fed and so on.

Because school curricula in Japan don't include Chinese history. Teaching the kids that China too had a rich past and was a superpower in the ancient world would go against their policy of dehumanizing their East Asian neighbors, and the government wouldn't allow this.

Cope sent a challenge frae Dunbar: 'Charlie, meet me an' ye daur,
An' I'll learn you the art o' war If you'll meet me i' the morning.'
When Charlie looked the letter upon he drew his sword the scabbard from:
'Come, follow me, my merry merry men, and we'll meet Johnnie Cope i' the morning!

Hey, Johnnie Cope, are ye wauking yet? Or are your drums a-beating yet?
