I don't want to be considered too childish, but in probably the most popular Japanese cartoon - Dragon Ball, a few years ago motif appeared where five pure souls of warriors combine their power in the sixth making him the God of these warriors.

I thought this was interesting enough to post my reply.
Meher Baba's concept of the Avatar is found closest in Jesus. The Incarnation. God becomes flesh, takes birth as man. The descent of God. Jesus is both 100% man and 100% God (father and son as one).
The concept of Avatar as Baba teaches it is not found in Buddhism or Hinduism, so would not likely influence anime. But thank you for the fun video.
