Special thanks go to the Diffusion Million Arthur, a mobile game produced by Square Enix Co. Ltd. It uses the exquisite comic pictures to make descriptions of famous character of legend and their adventures. Those drawings of traditional Japanese anime attract lots of otaku (young people who stay at home and fall into comics, anime and games), and also makes me interested in the legend of King Arthur. Maybe it is not the whole reason I choose this topic for my thesis, but I still have to admit this game gives me inspiration to make clear the outline of a foreign legend in foreign culture.
