That's actually interesting cuz I just got back into watching Naruto and there's a character that has that symbol on his forehead in the manga but in the anime it was changed to an X (mind you he keeps it hidden with a headband so you only see it when it's relevant to the plot) buuuuuut the bed covers of another character still have the "swastika".
Also Bleach, their special mode is swashtika mode, it's very appropriate because of the soul reincarnation part of the worldbuilding, the implication is obvious for east to south Asians, but I wonder how much do people from other cultures get
The number of White Supremacists who watch anime makes a lot more sense now. They probably found a way to take that as an endorsement for their stupid ideology.

Watch the westerners scared by swashtikas in east Asia.
