The number 108 is a significant number in the Dharmic religions, like Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism. It represents the number of temptations that humans face, which tie them to the Wheel of samsara. There are many religious elements related to this number; for example, a bell is rung 108 times to bring in the New Year in Japan, it is the typical number of beads on Hindu and Buddhist mala,note analogous to a rosary and a classic pilgrimage in Japan visits 108 temples. Also, it's 22 * 33 — obviously important.note But 2 and 3 are the first two prime numbers... wait, 23? Oh, Crap! Doubled, it becomes 216, which is "6 by 6 by 6". This number crops up frequently in anime, video games, and other media produced in Japan. Like the numbers 13 or 7 for Western culture, it is ascribed a mystical significance far outside the original definitions. It has no readily comparable analogue to a modern Western viewer, however, though lots of similarities with the Medieval or Renaissance use of the number 9, which was considered perfect, the trinity of trinities, square of the first "real" prime (2 didn't count, sometimes, because it is even), etc. Compare Four Is Death and its Western equivalent, the Number of the Beast; however, note that the number 108 is rarely used in a negative sense, unlike these other two examples generally are. |

Bleach uses the motif several times. The manga had a Back Story arc with chapters numbered in negative numbers, starting with -108. While there weren't actually 108 flashback chapters, side chapters that take place before the start of the story receive a negative chapter number based on how long ago they were (and since the arc took place a century ago, it's natural that the number would be high). In Hueco Mundo, Uryu fights the Arrancar Aisslinger, who can shoot up to 108 shots. In one of the first chapters Rukia tells Ichigo that the fake soul she's installed in his body was designed by 108 shinigami scientists. Too bad she grabbed the wrong package... Anime episode #214. In the fake origin story for Kon's being turned into Karakura-Riser, it was stated that he was an alien turned into a hero of justice by "Professor" Urahara. He could only return to his normal form by destroying the 108 hollows that killed Professor Urahara's daughter. |

At 13 minutes and 21 seconds into the 24th episode of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Gimmy exclaimed that 108 units of the creepy Buddhism inspired Anti-Spiral ships were destroyed. In addition, 13 minutes and 21 seconds totals up to 801 seconds, the reverse of 108. Right when he mentions this, everything starts going straight to hell as the enemy suddenly launches a massive counter assault. | |

In Fist of the North Star, there are 108 schools of Nanto Seiken, although almost all of the branches outside the Nanto Roku Seiken (the Six Sacred Fists) are never named in the manga with the exception of the Golan Colonel's Silent Fist, the Harn Brothers' Twin Hawk Fist and the Twin Slice Fist practiced by two of Thouzer's minions. Many of the later Gaiden spin-offs showed some of the other branches as well. | |

In Bliss Stage, your character must make an exit either by dying for real at 7 Trauma... or in a slightly less deadly manner when you go over 108 points of Bliss. This is a deliberate use of the trope: Word of God says it's a deliberate reference to the 108 temptations. He also intended to print only 108 copies of Ignition Stage, for the same reason. | |

In As the Gods Will, 108 cubes appear in Japan where the "winners" of bizarre, game-themed school massacres are being held. After the survivors of the battle inside the cubes are released there's a rumor that visiting all 108 cubes will grant good luck, a shout-out to the 88 temple pilgrimage. It's later revealed that the eventual winner of the world-wide slaughter will become a god, according to the insane naked guy who's apparently running the show, at least in Japan. | |

The Death Note manga was deliberately paced so as to have 108 chapters, which has led to some fan complaints about the resultant slow pace of the second arc. Similarly, Fullmetal Alchemist ended at chapter 108, but it was longer overall because each chapter is about twice as long as a chapter of Death Note (since Fullmetal Alchemist chapters were published monthly, rather than weekly). |

The Elder Scrolls uses it prominently with several variations. To note: 108 itself - A number commonly associated with Akatosh, the chief deity of the Nine Divines pantheon. 1008 - the very first and longest lasting Dragon Break, a type Time Crash with Cosmic Retcon like effects associated with the aforementioned Akatosh, lasted precisely 1008 years. How could they tell how much time passed despite time being non-linear during that period? They used the cycles of Nirn's two moons, which are said to be the "flesh divinity" (i.e. the sundered, rotting corpse) of the dead creator god and was thus unaffected, to tell how much time had passed. 100008 - See also "O Aka! I beg you one hundred thousand and eight times!" from the Alduddaggas. |

One Piece: Zoro has an attack called 108 Pondo Hou. It translates to "108 Pound Cannon", but with the kanji used, it can mean "108 Phoenixes of Passion and Desire". This and several other attacks with similar names are ironic as he is an atheist. The fallen monk Urouge has a bounty of 108,000,000 Berries at the time of his introduction. |

Pokémon: Spiritomb is listed as number 108 in the Sinnoh regional Pokédex, weighs 108 kg, is said to have been formed by 108 spirits, and its base Defense and Special Defense are both 108. In Ruby and Sapphire, the Ghost Ship S.S. Cactus is found on Route 108. In the remakes, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Spiritomb is found in the S.S. Cactus's replacement, Sea Mauville, still on Route 108. In Pokémon GO, the Field Research for Spiritomb has 108 all over — whether in 10s, 8s, or the full number. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you're given a sidequest to gather 107 spirit wisps and put them in the Odd Keystone. Completing the sidequest unlocks Spiritomb. Wait, hold on, 107? The NPC that gave you the task is the 108th and final spirit. Also in Legends: Arceus, flavor text for Hisuian Typhlosion says that it can emit as many as 108 ghost flames from its neck. |

In Code Geass The Emperor of Britannia has 108 wives. In the episode "Love Attack!", Sayoko sets Lelouch up with 108 girls for dates while standing in for him, under the belief that being a manwhore is Lelouch's normal behavior. It's not. |

Touhou Project manga spin-off Inaba of the Moon, Inaba of the Earth once had a chapter where Reisen needed to borrow a book from Patchoulli for her master. Much to her horror, the "book" was actually comprised of 72 Heaven volumes and 36 Earth volumes, totalling to a whopping 108 volumes that Reisen needed to carry all the way back home. | |

3×3 Eyes: the last arc of the third series is themed after the "sacred number 108", referring to the use of 108 paper talismans needed to give a physical body to the fearsome Quan, a soul-eating monster that even the other monsters fear. During the Amara arc, it's revealed that the real Amara, having to undergo a severe case of Body Horror to turn his body in an inhabitable planet, had to remove his mind from his body, storing it into 108 whiteish flares known as the "Flames of Reason". | |

From Annie's opening narration in Bull Durham: "There are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball." Annie's confusing a 59-bead Catholic rosary with a 108-bead Buddhist rosary, but she respects the number's cosmic significance nonetheless. | |

Each game in the series contains 108 recruitable characters, counting the hero but not counting any Guest Star Party Members.

Ninja Nonsense has a couple of 108 jokes: In the baseball episode, Onsokumaru splits the ball into a bunch of copies to make it impossible to catch, but Miyabi does the same with her glove and gets them all. (Yes, it actually takes 108 outs to finish four games. These are not smart characters.) In another episode, when Kaede's mom tells Onsokumaru to be careful of the knife she's holding, he says "Hey, hey, Paula. I'm the hundred and eighth president; your comments don't mean anything to me." No, her name's not Paula. |

In Ōkami, the extremely difficult to obtain string of beads is made up of 100 stray beads and 8 power orbs. Given the large amounts of Japanese symbolism in the game, this is unsurprising. Also, the bell on Orochi's back is said to ring 108 times, once for each desire (temptation?) of that year's human sacrifice. | |

Kinnikuman: In the ancient past, the gods of the setting once purged the Choujin by way of Capillaria rays, save for a select few protected by the God of Mercy. Once this was completed, they divided the power of the Capillaria into 108 pieces, one for every god, so that if the gods were ever to do such a thing again, it would have to be a unanimous decision. This becomes a plot point as some of the gods descend to the mortal realm, declaring themselves Choushin, and the Choujin must battle them for the few Capillaria pieces not already in the gods' possession or else face a new Choujin apocalypse. The heroes initially think they are fighting the Choushin to save the Choujin race from extinction. However, after Geronimo's fight with the Exterminator, it is revealed that there is much more to it. While there are one hundred eight Capillaria pieces and one hundred eight seats in heaven, one for every god, there are a total of one hundred six gods. There are 100 benevolent Choujin gods, 5 evil Choujin gods, and The Man, the former God of Mercy who took mortal form and descended from Heaven. The Exterminator further explains that, while the number of gods does fluctuate never, not once, has there ever been 108 of them, and goes on to reveal that the Choushins' ultimate goal in coming to earth and fighting the mortal Choujin is to determine which of them has the potential to ascend to godhood and become the 108th. In fact, this goal is the entire reason Choujin were created by the gods to begin with. |
