@@Shugg-Goff-HHoffical It’s complicated. It was through the homeschool program I was in (State verified with state curriculum). They gave you a sum of money at the beginning of the semester with which you buy your courses. I believe the course was $200. But, many community colleges have courses like this, and some allow for dual enrollment if you’re still a high-school student. Sometimes Anthro courses go over folklore too, if you can’t find a folklore and mythology course.
I love how creative Japanese folklore are with their spirits. It’s like looking at a twisted and corrupted version of a human soul. Awesome video as usual 🔥🔥🔥
If you’re into horror (and I assume you are if you’re watching spooky videos) you should totally check out the manga “jinmen”. It has some chilling imagery. There is a bit of gore in most chapters though.
My first introduction to Yo-kai was from a game series called Yo-kai Watch, my thoughts of yo kai went from cute little spirits to "HOLY @#$% THAT THING IS GONNA FREAKING KILL ME!"
Shishio, the Nue killing katana, has a gijinka (human version) in the character collection game Touken Ranbu (yes, it's a gacha about sword boys), he carries the pelt of the Nue on his shoulder and tends to roar like a tiger
It’s always so interesting hearing myths and legends people created to explain something natural about the world. Body decomposition does cause some yucky stuff to be released into soil, but it’s also nutritious to plants. So it makes sense that flowers and trees would thrive on and near areas of death.
Gashodokoro, so THAT is those giant spectral skeletons that keep smashing my character and Torrent in ELDEN RING, as I ride through the Giants Mountains and Mohgwyn Palace.... Dirty Bastards!
The Kosho sounds a lot like an extinct fluke or flat worm, which some times appear to have eyes or faces. It has been known that if you some how get infected by a flat worm or fluke, that they can cause disease, so maybe it's possible that the Kosho was real, but die off.
Great video, Japanese Mythology and Folklore never cease to fascinate me. It's interesting to think that for those things that escaped from rational understanding, people started since the beginning of time to create legends and myths that have lasted for centuries even until our days. Since in Japan, many of these stories that feature yokais, reside on the borders between the known and the unknown.
Edo period yokai were mostly an artist drawing pictures and describing the creatures within them, in little books they'd then mass produce and sell for a living. Think of them as Edo period creepypasta!
like, around the 17 minute mark where you say there was a renaissance in folklore - it was a renaissance in writing yokai-based creepypasta! folks loved it, like we do now.
If you come to after being murdered, seeing you're now a Kingo No Yūrei, could your spirit be so pissed that you're a fish that you go that extra step into being an Onryō? Or is it luck of the draw or the 1st yokai you've become is what you're stuck as?
I think Shinto beliefs are much older than a thousand years. When the Chinese met the Japanese for the first time, almost 2 thousand years ago, they observed the practices the Japanese performed daily related to Shinto beliefs, such as body cleansing, mourning the dead, clapping for praying and before starting to eat, etc. The unification and structuring of Shinto as a state religion may be around one thousand years old but the belief itself and the practices around it are much, much older.
Most of these Yokai appear in the videogame Nioh 1 and Nioh 2, not to mention have description about every each one of them. Beside historical samurai and weapons that appear in Japanese history.
I find it really funny that the thing that exposed most of the west to Yokai is a children’s game called Yokai Watch. Which adds a Pokémon- like spin to it for children. But if you were to look up the origins of said Yokai it would be very traumatizing to the kids
The inspiration for many anime comes from these Yo-kai myths. Pokémon, Attack on Titan & many of Studio Ghibli's works (including Miyazaki's) just to name a few.
Can't believe you forgotten Teki-Teki scary I know but one of my favourite's. My fave out of your list is the icicle lady. of and that 8 foot women Hachishakusama.
Post more please! 🙏 Few years ago a dog and I witnessed a black thin body wearing whatooked to be a Japanese theater mask climb out of my open closet. I snapped out of the vision but the dog kept staring and shaking badly. Freaky and I want to figure out what it was.
this creature kotobuki has some similar traits of a holy avatar of vishnu the" navagunjara" in literal means nine trait animal 'nava+gun+jara " head of a rooster, neck of a peacock , foreleg comprised of human hand holding a disk and an elephant , hind legs are comprised of tiger and horses, belly of a lion, hump of a cow and tail of a serpent . :) i enjoyed your video cool
Yeah but if you woke up as a goldfish...you'd forget about it in three seconds, but then you'd discover you were a goldfish again...oh wait ..that sucks...
Can i just say...THANK YOU. thank you thank you thank you for the arachnophobia warning!!! 🥺💗🤍💗 you have no idea how much that means to me..I can only watch limited videos because nobody warns before showing one..and I scream and curl up, sweat, feel sick.. then I can't stop shaking until I go to sleep and then I'm paranoid as shit for days.. so from the bottom of my heart, thank you! I've only just discovered you and I'm finding your video's so easy to listen to while drawing or when my sickness gets bad 😊 I'm definitely subscribing since your so kind to those with phobias and easy for those of us with autism or sensory things to watch! Now trypophobia..that is another nasty nasty one, but I've no doubt I can safely watch your videos! ^-^ ♡♥︎♡♥︎♡
I would love to see more movies/series that go into detail about these Yokai, without making them “Cutesy” for no reason(ahem, animators I’m looking at you).
Maybe Shuten Doji was a real person.. not a demon/oni like folklore but possible a remorseless (Harming innocents, monks, SA'ing nuns etc) bandit king who tried to sack Kyoto of its wealth, but was cut down by the legendary warrior in the midst of Shuten' Doji's raid. And his fiendish tale grew more and more Onilike with each generation making the infamous Yokai we know now.
"You're murdered then you wake up and you're a f*cking goldfish" best quote ever.
Best isekai story!
My heart rate flies up to an unhealthy amount when Foxakimbo posts
Hell yeah, this one *slaps*
You might need to see a doctor
@@yeptruedat agreed
Japanese folklore is terrifying! I took a folklore and cryptozoology course in highschool, and Japan was in my top 5 favorite genre of spookiness.
They definitely have some of the most tales in the world, a personal favourite of mine for sure

The goldfish one makes the Ponyo movie a bit more terrifying
That said, Ponyo is loosely based, both on the Little Mermaid and on tales of Goldfish Ghosts.
i have been always interested in yokai and japanese folklore, please make part 2 for this!
🤔 we'll see
I love how creative Japanese folklore are with their spirits. It’s like looking at a twisted and corrupted version of a human soul.
Awesome video as usual 🔥🔥🔥
The human faced animals are the scariest thing to me. Japanese folktales are on their own level
Oh yeah those dogs with human faces lol... Creepy AF
You should check out the samurai faced crabs. Those are real

Loved that series
Goated game
Another person with good tastes I see
God I remember asking for a yokai iceberg when you first started. Glad to see something actually came up.
Shishio, the Nue killing katana, has a gijinka (human version) in the character collection game Touken Ranbu (yes, it's a gacha about sword boys), he carries the pelt of the Nue on his shoulder and tends to roar like a tiger
Awesome and i love it. I am really looking forward for part 2 and covering up all the rest in the future too
Coming soon I'm sure!
Would definitely like to see a part two of this great video as usual
Duly noted!
your shiroukari fanart is ADORABLE😭 but really scary to imagine one just cruising around

Was really just how people made sense of the world back then. They were savage and brutal times.

Dirty Bastards!
watching this rn while eating birthday cake cookie dough love your vids 🎂🎂
Hope you enjoyed it!
The Spider Woman is something that's quite beautiful and deadly.
It's also a cautionary tale about beauty being skin deep don't be fooled by the wrapper.
I'm excited for this video on an unhealthy level 😂
It's a good one :D
Ngl the amount of devotion and effort in these videos, subbed :v
Just found your channel, I love that you cover spooky stuff other than just American or English spooky.
I'm gonna watch this rn before sleeping 💀
i love your videos btw!! ♡♡
Have a good sleep with after some of these stories hahaha
I'd love a part 2!

Great video!!! Can you do one on Thai scary folklore ?
That’s a great idea. Thailand’s culture and mythology, like Japan’s, is very distinctive. Indonesia too.
Great research..bless up

I'll speak to the Japanese and get an answer for this question
I think Shinto beliefs are much older than a thousand years. When the Chinese met the Japanese for the first time, almost 2 thousand years ago, they observed the practices the Japanese performed daily related to Shinto beliefs, such as body cleansing, mourning the dead, clapping for praying and before starting to eat, etc. The unification and structuring of Shinto as a state religion may be around one thousand years old but the belief itself and the practices around it are much, much older.
3:30 Now I know what Attack on Titan was inspired on
25:04 *we are Japanese goblin*

“I haven’t forgotten what you did Samantha” me 😬
What did you do,Samantha.
*what did you do*
I can see where Japanese horror movie creaters get there good ideas from.
Like the grudge movies and the ring
If we're talking about an "Onna", then one of them must've been harpy(like Garuda for example).
great video
thanks mate
Lol literally been watching most of fox’s icebergs for like two weeks now. I think I have a problem 🤣😅
I'll have a new iceberg very soon :O
@@FoxAkimbo there goes my sleep schedule
I'd love to learn about more yokai!

This video reminded me of Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan. Good anime. UwU
Can you do scary Australian folklore?
Not gonna lie, one of the last images for the kingyo no yurei looked like it was the inspiration for the "art style" of Big Mouth 👀
i will not get 'probably not in a kinky way" out of my mind LMAO
I love that many of these are shown in Pom Poko, by miyazaki (studio Gibli)
8:26 hey ma look! I'm famous!
(Thats my art lol. I drew it a few years ago now for Yokaitober!)
Ponyo takes on a whole other meaning after hearing about Kingyo No Yurei
Regular sized skeleton? Not creepy. Giant monster skeleton? Mom, take me home, I'm scared. :'(

ok you’ve just earned a new subscriber after the “wh*re spider” story 😂😂
ayy nice!!! great birthday present 👍
Happy birthday!
Bro, do you think that the Spider Witch from "ghostbusters: the video game" could be a Jorōgumo? Since of course she is a powerful spider spirit.
On my feed of Cartoon Network we have a Show called Yo-Kai Watch. That was my first introduction to this.
Nioh and Nioh 2 has my favorite Yokai, like Nue, Nure-onna and Otakemaru.
Time to watch this at 2 am
Go for it!
samantha part scared the shit outta me💀
Can't believe you forgotten Teki-Teki scary I know but one of my favourite's. My fave out of your list is the icicle lady. of and that 8 foot women Hachishakusama.
And Yokai watch made them look cute
Because Yo-Kai Watch is for kids
Yeah some of these guys are anything but cute lol
Not necessarily all of them look cute in Yo-Kai Watch. Search for Dame Demona and you know what I mean.
that frame at 7:19 👌👌
Interesting
0:34 DID I JUST GET FLASHED BY A FUCKING YOKAI
Japanese horror is way different from normal horror.
The Oni allows the grieving to blame something, they could focus their anger towards it since they have no explanation!
damn what did Samatha do 😳
She knows what she did.
So that's where Amano Jyaku, the anti-hero from Urotsukidoji comes from.
I like the demon/turtle creature because any demon I can defeat with a sponge/straw, isn't going to strike me with fear!
can you do a list of non dangerous yokai
Post more please! 🙏
Few years ago a dog and I witnessed a black thin body wearing whatooked to be a Japanese theater mask climb out of my open closet. I snapped out of the vision but the dog kept staring and shaking badly. Freaky and I want to figure out what it was.
Well that's terrifying
Oh WOW, that's 2 demons thus far I can defeat by shouting,"I don't fear you!"
this creature kotobuki has some similar traits of a holy avatar of vishnu the" navagunjara" in literal means nine trait animal 'nava+gun+jara " head of a rooster, neck of a peacock , foreleg comprised of human hand holding a disk and an elephant , hind legs are comprised of tiger and horses, belly of a lion, hump of a cow and tail of a serpent .
:) i enjoyed your video cool
Cool vid. You clap up a bunch of these in Nioh. Definitely worth a look if you enjoy video games. (It's pretty difficult as games go, though)
I love yokai and other mythical creature
Damn, guess I better call off the engagement to my icicle girlfriend
Yeah but if you woke up as a goldfish...you'd forget about it in three seconds, but then you'd discover you were a goldfish again...oh wait ..that sucks...
The gashadokoru was actually an interpretation of the skeleton army summoned in a legend
There are more yokai pages on Japanese Wikipedia than on English Wikipedia.

My favourite is the zombiesque Gashadokuro
7:50 would
Didn’t know Kappas had a sense of humor about them 😂😂
6:02 Hey, isn't that what Trevanant and Phantump are?
The icicle lady is froslass
I love ponyo
The icicle lady is basically froslass
Japan has better lore than the rest of the world.
Tis can get controversial
We need a part 2
Wouldn't the Goshadokuru be creating more vengeful spirits, of the travelers, people, that they kill?
I would love to see more movies/series that go into detail about these Yokai, without making them “Cutesy” for no reason(ahem, animators I’m looking at you).
Some of these seem more like types of fairies rather than monsters, demons or ghosts/ ghouls.
So the Kingyo No Yurei is just cursed Ponyo…Got it
Part 2, part 2!
Nice!
11:40. …PONYO?!?
Maybe Shuten Doji was a real person.. not a demon/oni like folklore but possible a remorseless (Harming innocents, monks, SA'ing nuns etc) bandit king who tried to sack Kyoto of its wealth, but was cut down by the legendary warrior in the midst of Shuten' Doji's raid.
