Chinese Gods and Goddesses
What Do You Think Guys
Is there any chance of adding Hindi subtitles in your all videos?
I want to understand in details in my language🙄🙄🙄
That art is professional comic book tier.
Can you give information about Kame hime and her sister, please🙏?
Kitsune : 🇯🇵 japan forest fox human six tail pranks or evil
japanese mythology is absolutely fascinating
When you think about it, the Yokai are very similar to the Jotnar from Norse Myth, coming in all sorts of shapes and sizes, from human-like, to animal to monsters. Some are evil and chaotic while some are worshipped as gods.
Youkai are more comparable to the fae
Sup brotha' All the gods and demons across our cultures are the same beings simply called different things by different peoples. Even YHWH isn't an original and has his story borrowed by Judaism from a more ancient god of the true plurality of Elohim, one of the Anunnaki. Alas, Nanna is Aphrodite, who is Venus, who is Ishtar, who is Inanna, and surely many others. All floods myths describe the same event. All apocalypses are a vision of the future. Unify all and you will see all.
@@DjRjSolarStarBeautiful and fascinating. 🧐
Japanese mythologies has so many beautiful and wonder gods. Goddesses creatures and spirits they are all awosme I loev it
I think the beauty is the stories around the world are all but confirmed by their similarity. Japanese have some curious ones for sure
They are nephilims offspring of fallen angels they are all over the world, they are cursed they have no body because their body is dead but they will continue to live her on earth as evil spirits so they wonder on earth until the end of earth but they won't belong to the new earth or paradise on judgement day their faith is already decided. They have different forms and live in elemental places they can even make their own community but we will not see them unless they want to be seen. They can even disguise their true form to humans. It's in the book of enoch, they dont look good in true form because they are evil
Why do the people in the Japanese mythology look Caucasian?
Kami are not necessarily gods nor are they monsters, they are more like nature given form. There are gods sure, but they are described as beings of pure form in the older ones and natural phenomena given form of later iterations
The shirime 🙈
It’s cool How Kishimoto wanted to throw in some Japanese mythology in his manga/anime
Do you mean Kishimoto Masashi or Kishimoto Seishi?
I’ve watched all the videos of the Yōkais and they are great. I was hoping you make more.
I am also a fan of Japanese culture, truly fascinating.
Thanks for the reminder of the cherry blossom season.
Kitsune & Kappa are my favorite Japanese Monster Mythology of all time....
2:43 My favorite yokai will always be The Tengu or also known as The Daitengu or Konoha Tengu and as well The Karasutengu which are represented more in a bird-like appearance with the head of a raven, with claw-like hands and feet, and with sharp teeth. Although I do like as well The Oni as my second favorite yokai in Japanese Mythology.
There are a lot of shounen manga revolved around youkai. Too bad some of them don't go into detail about the really horrifying ones. Only the famous ones like the kappa or Nine tailed
The Oni ogres lived alone on an island. Aki Onna is a shape-shifting beast demon which breathes fire 🔥.
ikr I would have loved to see more scary yokai like the Karakase obake
鬼をdemonと訳しちゃうから気づいてないだけかも
@@duncancurtis1758 remember oni aren't ogres they are simply oni
the Kitsune and Oni used to be the only Japanese folklore i knew about until i watched this video, its interests me to learn about different folklores from around the world. i admire the stories so much, but i have to say that the Kitsune is my favorite folklore so far.
Who attempted to attempt to draw one of these and failed
kitsune are my favorite as well ♥
I watched Naruto. Now I see where all the names (Konoha, Amaterasu, etc...) come from. Thanks.
Myths in Japan are the most underrated myths in the world!
Tengu and kappa are considered as many kami of Japanese beliefs especially in Shinto.
Item and equipment able to gain a soul aka alive if its reach 100years. That's why katana both sacred and being fear especially that had claim a lot of life's.
Kirin are common beliefs in Asia especially had common similarities with Chinese and Korean due to trades and religion.
Tengu is Tien Kou in China.
I've frequently wondered about the pair of lions; I always thought it was a Greek thing, since the first time I noticed the guardians was in front of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house in my college town. Thank you for helping me understand the symbolism of the Komainu!
This has become my comfort channel
Yeah totally incredible creatures of Japanese Mythology great story!
I LOVE your videos so much, i like when someone talks about mythology with drawings, and this channel is exactly what i needed. P.S i think you should do a video about norse monsters since you already did japanese and egyptian ones
Really interesting video I didn't know a lot of this information - as always thanks for sharing it with us
I always love how your videos use American Comci styled art. It's my favorite as it's very reminiscent of some of my favorite artists
Stan Sakai includes a lot of old Japanese mythology good and evil in Usagi Yojimbo, the fearless white samurai 🐰 bunny.
It's wonderful to learn the mythology and folklore from other countries than the ones we already know. Thanks for sharing!
I just can't get enough of your videos my man ❤️👍
Thank you for the Story of Each Yokai.
The kitsune is a really pretty creature
It’s interesting.
I enjoy watching your video.
Please keep uploading !!!
My middle school showed me this and now I’m here. 10/10 very educational
W middle school
Japanese monsters and creatures from their mythology and folklore is terrifying enough
Thank you for the video.
A other good vidoe dude keep it up you rock love japanese mythology
I've read the best way to deal with a hostile kappa is simply bow to it. Kappas are said to be very polite, and they will return the favor and bow as well. When it does, it will spill the water from the depression on it's head and left in a relatively helpless state
Beautiful mythology
Ty for posting this. Ive been playing a lot of Nioh 1-2 and ive no idea what these Yokais
I love mythology. The stories and monsters are awesome.😁😊
This is very helpful I liked learning about all of these the Kirin and the Komainu were the most interesting to me.
One of my fav mythologies
❤ all your video's mate 👍.
This guy has such a relaxing voice.
3:43 There is an old horror movie from the '70s called "The Car". For some reason that is the first thing that popped into my head when this yokai was mentioned in the video
Meanwhile brazilian mythology:
A pink dolphin can talk and a homeless boy with one leg can spin into a tornado.
That's still more demented than what Japan has. The only difference being that most of Japan's mythology I know from anime. Don't know much about Brazilian mythology, but I am interested.
@@canaisyoung3601 U are only half correct.
Japan mythology got some cool stuff like Susanoo
Then unhinged stuff like the BOOT yokai
Love your videos bro ❤
Interesting and exciting. Awesome.
Most of these Yokais are in Onmyoji RPG. That game base on Japanese mythology. Recommend to those who like to know more about yokai😀
Ireland or Korean next?
I always thought the right komainu had its mouth open because he’s saying あ“Ah” the first character of the Japanese alphabet and the left inu is saying ん“n” the last character of the Japanese alphabet, and symbolizes that the contents within are the beginning and end of all things; alpha and omega.
There is another, older, Japanese pronunciation set called "I Ro Ha (いろは). " And I heard that "A/あ" and "N/ん" came from Sanskrit.
@@atsukorichards1675 I know the kana were organized the same way as Sanskrit because the writing system was developed to help the Japanese recite scripture, but I think the characters themselves are derived from Chinese. あcame from the character 安. Or at least that’s what I’ve been taught.
Came to see the goodest good boy Kurama.
It's impressive...🙂😊
The sword master who trains Tanjoro in Demon Slayer wears a Tengu mask. Learning the history behind it makes sense now. Tengu are masters with the sword, so a sword master wearing a mask that looks like a Tengu makes sense.
Dude ur voice is so amazing
from this video i recognised persona has many references from japanese mythology, so cool
The beautifull Chanel of history /mythology of TH-cam ♥️♥️
The yokai of Japan that I like is the kitsune: the nine- tailed fox...I'm impressed because of their abilities...they're immortal and their powers tend to grow due to the number of tails they grow every 100 years and after a 1000 years of age, they become ultra powerful....
....and the 9 tailed fox just escaped in Japan around the time you made this comment...
@@9751matt dang...that was rude...😐😑
@@jordanyoung1836 Correlation does not imply causation.
But it does imply irony.
@@9751matt ok, but tbh...it did sound a lil harsh
@@jordanyoung1836 No harshness intended.
Wow its so cool
Make one video about the mythology of Brazil please, Brazil have the most incredible creatures.
I just ALWAYSED had a love for Kitsunes
I have seen every japanese reference in the latest One Piece Arc, "Wano"....except for the kappa
Kawamatsu, the fish man samurai, told everyone he was a kappa to avoid fish man discrimination.
In fact, the monsters of Kimetsu no yaiba (demon slayer) are Oni, but for some reason, in the english translation, it became in Demon, that are totally different!
Really?
@@jjk5693 Really
Onís are like demonic ogres, so it is an easy way to translate them
The name, "Ki-metsu (鬼滅)," itself means "destroy(ing) Oni."
Strangely enough I have lost a sandal, I've checked all around the house, it's nowhere to be seen
So what does the breaking of the Japan's "Killing stone" mean for Tamamo-no-Mae, If she was said to be trapped within?
A lot of people joked that she's probably free now.
I’m already in love the 1st one! I love the other Gods too dont say that I only love one.
Covering more obscure youkai would be more interesting.
Seing some of theese youkai in genshin impact inazuma region is really intresting
And i love japanese mythology
What's the source for the artwork? Whatever comic it is, is about to hit the top of my reading list
I am Japanese and I love the beautiful woman and the kitsune
The portal fantasy anime Inuyasha by Rumiko Takahashi introduced to this kind of mythology.
my most personal favorite is Kitsune "zenko" like is one! :3
First time i heard of the tengu was from the ps2 fighting game dead or alive 2 hardcore.the final boss is a tengu
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEE
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE SONG THAT PLAYED DURING YUKI ONNA’S PART??? i was literally entranced by that instrument!!
anyone, help me find it!!
Hellboy once fought that turtle demon with the hole in his head in one of his animated movies.
Where do you find these illustrations for your videos
Some other famous ones are:
Chochin-Obake (Lantern shaped yokai)
Ittanmomen (A long piece of sentient white cloth)
Nurikabe (A living wall)
Tanuki (mischievous raccoon dogs)
Umibozu (round giant sea monsters)
Gashadokuro (giant skeleton)
Tysm i was looking for this, cause I love the Japanese 🖤
This yokais also appear in the novel kyokou suiri(in/spectre)and season 2 is just around the corner.
A Sasosho is a one eyed hopping boot with a black wig.
Fun fact, Kami are just worshipped Yōkai, and Yōkai are none worshipped Kami, also Yūrei are not Yōkai but are ghosts, think the grudge.
the sandal ghost and the umbrella ghost are kinda cute, ngl.
I wouldn't mind a Kitsune wife maybe I get a powerful son that will become a mage 🧙 🤷🏾♂️
I love the video it’s really good but do hope for more Troy videos.
This mythical creature at 2:41 became an inspiration for Kurama (a.k.a. Naruto's actual father)
Naruto fans bouta love this first one
You can see the heavy influence these Japanese spirits had on the original 151 Pokémon of my childhood
Out of all the yokais here i think my faves are the Kitsune and Yuki onna😍😍
I love the kitsune
One of my interesting stories is kitsune (The Nine Tailed Fox)
@SeeUinhistory what about the Monkey King (Sun Wukong)
That's cool all I could take some little snacks
Kitsune Class E
Nine tailed fox Class B
Tengo Class E
Wanyudo Class D
Kappa Class F
Komainu Class D
Karekase obake Class F
Bakhezori Class F
Oni
do you draw the pictures , they look amazing
What about the Gashadokuro?
It is Said to Be a Giant Skeleton who only appears at Night mostly around abandoned towns, settlement and even cemeteries.And If you hear "Clicking" sounds that means a Gashadokuro is nearby but you Can't see it.
Also it is Said to be a Remnant of Dead people who haven't been given a Proper Burial.
Good point, though it is a pretty new yokai created only in Showa era.
Actually according to what I know gashadokuro are people who died to famine because at the time it was created it was really common. Also more damning evidence is that gashdokuro translates to hungry skeleton and that it specifically eats their victims.
Music at 8:15
you are close on the knabo (k'nabo) it's an 8-sided, hardwood war club with lines of steel bosses on the sides (1 line/side).
in the hands of a samurai, it can shatter the legbones of most livestock.
a very deadly weapon.
It is called Kana-bou (金棒).
How to defeat a Kappa: simply bow before them. And since even monsters have manners, the kappa will feel obligated to bow back at you, which ends up spilling the water on their head
What is the name of the music that you use for the wanudo
Should’ve done the Yuki Ona story of her and the man
there is no "Shinto temple". It is called "shrine" instead. Also, in this video all "temple" you mentioned, is Buddhism temple.
I was really hoping you'd mention how the kappa try to steal power from their victim's anus.
...not lying.
My favorite japanese creatures are kirin, tengu, Raijin and kamaitachi but I also like tanuki, bakeneko and yukiona
2:05 Welp, one evil kitsune got escaped today. Tamama no mae's rock split.
If anyone has played Nioh, alot of these creatures should look familiar
Time to rewatch Natsume's book of friends
The Kappa is letting me think of Harry Potter lol
What comics were used in this video?
Interesting creaters but many scary drawings!😨😨😨
