So the test is stepping on the image of Jesus essentially saying you don't respect the figure. At this point in Japan the government was cracking down on foreign religions which is a part of the whole Sakoku action. Closing the country off included stopping western influence and religion was no exception. This little commune was not what Yuri was apart of. She mentions they were raided and had to disperse. This guy came in acting like he was related to an important religious figure and started the cult like mentality. If she was born into the cult she would be happy to be his bride. Francis Xavier was one of the big missionary's in Japan for Christianity. Just think about the person who shared your religion to your country first. He's not God himself but is the first messenger for him. Looking like a foreigner helps deceived them. Shinichirō Watanabe DID make Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo. Cults are pretty prevalent in Japan and in southeast Asia in general. They have ties to the government too. Back before the printing press you had the bible read to you. It was a luxury to own a bible and be able to read. You just had to take the word of your religious leader.
