“Sekiro actually takes place within a real historical context”
So here’s this giant enemy fish
so we are going to ignore the even fucking bigger SNAKE
Context not a historical record
@@egemenozcelik7494 with 2 effing HEADS
I like the reference.
lalalemons attack it's weak point...for massive damage.
"proficient with both sword and spear"
But what about the glock, Vaati? *_What about the GLOCK?_*
Rapid fire flintlock of doom was my nickname for it.
Lol
Merely for his hobby, used it for hunting yokai alongside William and his spirit waifu.
@@KaiserAfini
*William and his stand
How about games? (fgo bois where you at?)
tfw no Elden Ring at Gamescom
Looks like Sekiro is back on the menu
Prepare To Cry please!
Yesssss
boys
I'm sorry Mr. Vidya, but weren't you coming back to Bloodborne lore?
@@GOD-nx1yo wait what, why!?
"Centipede were never popular" in Shintoism. In Buddhism they were seen as avatars of Bishamonten, one of the Heavenly Kings. Which explains why Senpou considered infestation a blessing. He was also a patron of warriors (such as Hanbei) and merchants.
Also explains why there's a Centipede shrine in Yomawari. I'd been wondering about that. Thanks!
What about the legend where a centipede eats a dragon's brain? I've never seen mention of this anywhere else but TVtropes.
The More You Know. =*
@@davidhong1934 I am not familiar with that one, what is its name ?
@@KaiserAfini
That's the issue. I've seen it mentioned once on TV Tropes under "Creepy Centipedes", but it was unsourced. I'm actually pretty sure it's made up.
Wow, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice was so popular that people from the past reenacted it.
Yoooooo I know right! It really goes to show how popularity can change people.
How and why?
"Time is convoluted"
Holy shit that's cool!
The phirosophy of guu
Preenactment
japanese fan of your work here. even as a japanese, your video is very insightful, respectful and interesting to watch! thank you very much
How do the Japanese youth, say from 12 to 18 years old, view the folklore of Japan? Do they recognize and know a lot of stories and is it popular there like how Greek mythology is popular in the U.S.?
How good is his pronunciation of Japanese words? It's pretty tricky for non fluent speakers to pull off but Vaati seems to do pretty well.
@@alastor8091 i can not speak for everyone else, but i think majority of us have no idea when it comes to japanese folklore unless they see it in anime or light novels. im very certain that greek mythology is more popular than japanese folklore in japan, thanks to marvel movies
@@ieuanhunt552 some of them are accidentally accurate, but many of them are not too accurate to be honest. but those nouns and names he says in video are very unusual(nobody talks about Yokai and Obake in our daily life, obviously) and there is no way to research how to pronounce them properly, so Mr.Vaati is doing his best i would say. also, listening to his slightly off pronunciation of words are fun(not in condescending way, i find it very interesting) for me! i think his calm voice fits japanese words, thus making his pronunciation believable.
@@AutomaticLemming that's actually kinda crazy and a little sad to hear
Inspired (by money)
Too early in the video to be this funny man
I mean, Vaati may be the only guy to make me laugh 20 seconds into a video and immediately make the judgement call that, this video is already going to be good but also getting a like before I've seen it haha
never early b funni
That joke hit me hard. 😂😂😂
i thought i misheard it hahahaha
Killed me lol
One major misunderstanding：Tomoe‘s master was her husband( In a lot of folklore) , and the reason he ordered her to leave were thought to be something along ‘fear of losing his love’ under the pretence of ‘bringing a women to a battlefield is dishonorable’
Kinda necroing this thread, but in Japanese "Husband" and "Master" has the same Kanji words. So, that checks out.
I always liked the little touch with Emma's sword in her boss fight. It's a Shirasaya because she's retired from a life of combat.
Didn't know the Seven Branched Sword was a national treasure. That's actually really cool.
Also, if you've ever played the Ace Attorney games, in the third Phoenix Wright game a seven branched sword is used as a murder weapon. They explain that the sword is made to represent life itself: though there are many branches and thus many possibilities, it is destined to end at the same single tip.
I saw it first in Ninja Gaiden 2004, where it had story significance as the Dark Dragon Blade. I feel like they dropped the JP name, Shichisito, somewhere in it.
The moonlight great sword is also a national treasure
Also, search for "Kirin greatsword" from monster hunter. It deals thunder dmg and it's crafted with the parts of an ancient dragon. Looks stunningly similar to the seven branched sword.
@@CiuccioeCorraz
I see you're a lightning boi as well
Imagine rather than DLC, we get Sekiro 2 in which the entire story focuses on Tomoe and Takeru.
YES and young sekijo and his friend kingfisher
Okay hear me out: Dark Souls-ish Sekiro sequel that's set in the ruins of Ashina post-Shura ending
Edit: So apparently people saw "Dark Souls-ish" and immediately decided that I wanted all the worst parts of Dark Souls' gameplay. I just want the atmosphere, jeez.
@@juniperrodley9843 no because that would make shura ending cannon and that would make me sad. purification ending ftw
@@dutchvanderlinde1173 Okay new plan, sequels for every ending
@@juniperrodley9843 a "ninja game" that you can't jump? I dunno, mate
Your theory on the Dragon being from Korea is additionally backed up by the amount of "fingers" on each "arm". Traditionally, Chinese dragons had 5 fingers, Japanese had 3, and Korean 4. As you can clearly see in 9:03 this dragon has 4, thus matching the description of Korean dragons.
Didn't Chinese dragons have both 4 and 5 fingers depending on whether they were depicted in an imperial context or not?
@@Religion0 they were but rarely would you ever see a 4 fingered Chinese dragon.
Nope. XD Korea didn’t exist back then maybe they were talking about the Scythians that once rule those lands before they got killed by population now there ..
@@killeryhiltons8499'XD korea didn't exist back then'
Idk what korea ur talking about but the oldest korean kingdom (고조선) was founded in about 2333 BC, and has been populated by the koreans ever since
And this game takes place in the late 1500s sengoku era wym it didn't exist??
As for the scythians they may have had a connection with the silla kingdom founded in 57 BC, but that has nothing to do with 'korea not existing back then'
@@noodle3183 he might be chinese/japanese nationalist. they absolutely hate korea and would go out of their way to claim in barely ever existed, like russians say about ukraine
Even slashy souls is inspired...by money
where to buy slashy souls?
In hell
My new go to excuse: "no see, i was inspired... by money"
Local Vidya spitting fire, burned down the whole painting world
nice
time to play the game again!
Hi.
sup buddy!
cheers bruh 🥃
I had the same thought fighter. And i will play it
"Vaati is holding me captive pls send help" XD i spilled my drink laughing when i saw that.....
Zirael! We'll save you!
@@chavamara epic refrence
Where?
@@nobleradical2158 8:56 in case you're still wondering
these shots are amazing, i feel like every single frame could be a wallpaper that i can use
use this one 1:29
We can always count on your soothing narrating to enlighten us on the intricate lore and obscure references
Yeah that whole self mummification thing is one of the most hardcore and disturbing things I have ever heard. I could only imagine the agony those men must of been in as they inched closer towards their deaths, yet their faith was that strong that they ultimately overcame such inevitable suffering in the name of their beliefs. I personally find this both awe inspiring and a bit insane, at least in my opinion.
Junji Ito has great horror story about this. I forgot in which of his mangas, though.
Wildest part is humans can actually act in such ways
It was insane.
Extreme brainwashing
It's essentially suicide. It IS insane.
The most famous warrior monk was the fighter known as Benkei who served one of the most famous swordsmen in Japanese history, Minamoto no Yoshitsune. He was an exceptionally large man who was a giant amongst his people. The legends say he was 7 feet tall but he was probably like 6'5" or something. After Benkei was defeated by Minamoto in battle he served him for the rest of his life. He was the badass that held down a bridge and killed 100 warriors before dying standing up.
'ONE PIECE WA JITSUZAI TSURUUUUUUU!!'
sorry i had to, after reading the last part.
Honestly, a badass ddfending a bridge is a real life common trope
@@iasked347 Just like the lone warrior at Stamord Bridge, in 1066!
@@user-lb4rx2th2dmy first thoughts when i read that too lol
8:54 "vaati is holding me captive pls send help"
6:11 so you're telling me that Ito created ultra instinct!!
That is why he is a sword saint.
What about the carp that swam up a waterfall and became a dragon. Ever wonder why magikarp become garidos
sekiro 2: pot noble is actually divine dragon
@@bluezapdos0 I get your joking but your not wrong in that he is trying to become a dragon by becoming a carp then a master carp then a dragon ig if it really is a reference
@@Billybob-en1mk ever wonder why he collect carp scales? its actually evolution stone
I heard there is a folklore in Japan that a carp can become a dragon if it succeed to swam up a waterfall. But if it just crossed halfway the carp wold just became a yokai or a carp with horn, untill it succeed in the task.
There’s a legend about koi swimming up the Yellow River in China, passing through the rapids known as the “Dragon’s Gate,” and turning into a dragon.
Funny thing is, this is also about Nishiki's tattoo
Hey Vaati, just wanted to point out another small detail lending to the Korean Dragon hypothesis, I was looking out for it when you mentioned it in the video and saw that, when the dragon is holding the sword, it has four fingers. There's a saying that goes: 'the further dragons moved from China, the less fingers they had.' Chinese dragons have five fingers, Korean dragons have four, and Japanese have three. It appears in your video that the Divine Dragon in Sekiro, has four fingers. Very much looking forward to more from you!
Ancient Chinese dragons typically had 5 claws per hand. The Sakura dragon has 4, further lending to Korea as opposed to China as its origin.
Edit: I said Japan as unlikely origin. Meant China.
Yeah, and a Japanese dragon has 3 claws. Sakura dragon is almost certainly Korean in origin.
@@kappo34 unless it's a representation of an emperor, then I believe they have 5 as well.
10:29 go count in that frame how many fingers. And the little white dragons indeed had 4 .. which means divine (sakura) dragon was from china at least during or before Tang Dynasty (the style of the buildings)
Trying so hard to make a point by bending the facts...
That weapon was indeed a strong point to argue that korea is in the game.. however... really... as a vessel of china... i doubt korea having that big of an effect
Martina Sandric no??? Japanese dragon had 4 as well.
well,Since Yuan dynasty People think the Long（龙, the real dragon） have 5 fingers, the Jiao Long（蛟龙 the dragon who is lower level tan Long，maybe subspecies） has 4 fingers.And at that time, the dragon in emperor's clothes has 5, but the princes' has 4, and the tributary like ancient Korean ,the king only be allowed to have 4 fingers' . Song dynasty and earlier all dragon have 4 claws. and more and more early they have 2 or 3. So i think only Hidetaka say where it is come from,that can be confirm
We have a duality between the 2 samurai souls games. Nioh is based on Shinto mythology while Sekiro is more Buddhist.
And Nioh actually has a Cetipede Yokai as a boss fight. I actually liked the boss, even though it's not very popular from what I've read.
@@yvesgomes because he spanked everyone at first (those who went mid spear)
Would still want both these games on the switch
@@yvesgomes From Software was my first centipede boss fight in Otogi
@@sonyblank1487plus he can be a bit annoying sometimes. Especially with the constant poison fog
I just wanna say that Sekiro is the most beautiful game I've ever played.
I love it so much.
The ad hasn’t finished playing but you already have my like
I was really hoping you'd do a video like this, diving into the historical and cultural references strewn throughout the game -- it's one of the most interesting facets of the game, and it adds so much context when you understand where the roots lie, much as understanding the parallels of the Dark Souls and Bloodborne worlds adds to the gravitas of their stories.
We all know Slashy Souls is actually in West Virginia, made in Bethesda.
As did Activision
Fuck The "AAA" gaming industry. All of those vampires can choke on a rotting cock. Then get castrated with a rusty kitchen knife.
White-Van Helsing go to hell you shill! I bet you've given Activision hundreds of dollars for loot boxes!
West Virginia is innocent
Honestly, Sekiro was exactly what I needed from a From game, and I'm really looking forward to potential DLC
Colton Watkins from came out and said there would be no dlc im pretty sure
kenny Marsh wait. So FS said so?? Oh man. I still cant believe it. I mean common, why not. Fuck elden ring i need sekiro dlc lol
Nah all sekiro needs is a nice solid sequel.
Dont care what it is, just give me more!
@@kennymarshiii They never said that.
It seems this game won't be getting a DLC. I Guess Sending lady Tomoe's OP ass lightnings right back at her will have to wait till sekiro 2.
Maybe she left to the West to learn about the dragons origins she has final boss potential for sekiro 2 but that would be to easy story wise if she was final boss
James Weidner First boss lmao
Bloodborne, DS3, and Sekiro were all released towards the end of March. BB DLC was released Nov of the same year, DS3 DLC was released Oct of the same year, then March of the next. So I'd say it's still a possibility until we reach the end of March 2020. We still don't have a release date for Elden Ring so it might be that Sekiro gets a DLC next year then ER comes out in 2021 or 2022.
@@PunkZombie1300 I believe they said no dlc for sekiro but I haven't been up to date on sekiro talk
Sekiro 2 electric bogaloo
at 5:45 is a picture of Oda Nobunaga, not Ito Ittosai.
Oda Nobunaga, the most popular historical character across anime
He's old in this, what of his conquest?
I was looking for someone to point that out lmao
That slashy souls roast is so good that out of the 3 top comment, 2 of them were talking about it, and the last comment is Vaati's talking.
When i first saw the corrupted monk the first name that came to my mind was Benkei, a warrior monk. It was also ironic that the battle was on a bridge as Benkei lost a fight to Minamoto no Yoshitsune on a bridge
This video makes me love SEKIRO even more. Awesome work!
Tomoe is in ghost of Tsushima and it’s such a cool nod to the actual Japanese story
So I know this is late, but I was actually looking for this comment. And in game, as you know, she is gifted in the way of the bow.
Have we ever talked about how the Nobles properly came to being? Like I get the Mibu sent up offerings to them, but how did they actually come into being. I mean if it were the waters why do they need to sap your life force when you come near them?
In Mibu Village, the high priest becomes a noble if you give him the waters of the palace.
Nobles are not actually immortal. They're meant to become carp that can later become dragons.
@@davidhong1934 in order to become dragon, they need to be at a place where have a dragon gate. so this last process will never happen in Ashina area
You and Team Four Star are the perfect duo for this game. I watch their stream and then find your videos. They always name drop you also, haha
Great stuff! I knew there were lots of references in the game, so thanks so much for shining a light on it.
Also I can't help, but be amazed by the camera work and high quality framing/cutting. It's a pleasure to watch
Korean dragon?
Sekiro: Dancing All Night confirmed
Sekiro: Dragons **groovin**
enter in Dragon of Dojima dancing in *Miracle*
new upload, before i watch, i like
edit:
then i heard slashy souls was inspired....by money, *mitochondrial infarction*
myocardial**
You’ve gotta understand that everytime I see one of Vaati’s videos I haven’t watched yet it’s just *instant excitement*
These are the best videos ever made. His voice just fits with all the lore he talks about in all these games. But I especially love his prepare to cry, and when he announced the remastered I was very exited. Keep up the good work, we love all your videos!
I love every video you upload so much, it's helped me appreciate Dark Souls are Sekiro on levels that I would never have even considered on a first visit. Knowing the lore and the potential inspirations for the stories behind so many of the characters and locations really helps you admire the sheer thought and love put into these games. You have changed my perspective of these titles so much for the better. Thank you for making these videos and thank you to From Software for making the games with so much passion :D
The Jizo statues (and I think the pinwheels as well) in Senpou Temple indicate a children's cemetery. And there's a lot of them near the roofed bridge.
6:10 This technique is "reacting to the enemy's attack, not as a conscious effort, but reacting spontaneously."
You mean Ultra Instinct???
Isshin is Shaggy confirmed
Thanks, Vaati. I really appreciate this lore n-depth content. Despite having completed five times, I still had felt missing threads of my understanding of the wonderful lore of the world of Sekiro. And I have a friend who just midway through his first run and I am certain you lore vids will actually give him a much better idea of about the narrative of the journey he has undertaken.
Great video! Especially loved the camera and the amazing shots, keep the good work up!
About the Sculptor: Sekijou might also be a reference to the fact he only has one arm. Sekiro's name is given to him by the Tengu of Ashina when he refers to him as a "one armed wolf". In Japanese, that is written as Sekiwan no Ookami (隻腕の狼). The Tengu then shortens it to Sekiro (隻狼), where "seki" (隻) is "one part of a whole" and "ro" (狼) is the on'yomi reading for "wolf". The kanji for orangutan is 猩, which is read as "shou". Following the same logic as Sekiro, Sekijou might be written as 隻猩, since due to rendaku "shou" can become "jou". Thus we have the Sculptors name, Sekijou (隻猩), the One-Armed Orangutan.
There is a theory that Sculptor is no one else then Wolf himself, as time loops are a thing in this series. One of the endings basically repeat itself until our protagonist chose another road.
@@TheRezro Really? Man I had no idea about that theory. If anything that makes me more sure about my thoughts about the Sculptor's name. Which of the endings are you referring to?
That's awesome
Thought the thumbnail said “F*ck Lore” and i was like “woah vaati must be getting pretty sick of this sh*t”
I always loved how you break down certain aspect of the game. With a soothing voice to boot :)
Absolutely fascinating. Knew 3 of them. I love the work & details you put in your videos.
you forgot one more lore this is about the Headless or Kubinashi: It is implied that the Headless are apparitions of the warriors the sugar candies are named after. This can be inferred by the first line of text in their respective Spiritfall items: "Fallen, headless spirit of..." If the Headless executes a successful grab, it is possible it pulls out Sekiro's "shirikodama" - a mythical ball said to contain a person's soul, which is located inside the anus. This behavior is from another mythical Japanese creature called the “Kappa,” which could be found in water. This may explain why there are headless underwater as well.
If you ask my Kitsune supposedly have object called "Star Ball" in they tails. It could be source of that myth considering obvious lack of anything like that in human body.
So thats what they pull out of you. I thought they wer grabbing a kidney or something. Gives a another explanation for why they appear behind you to.
Michael Newman hes trolling lmao
@@skeds9995 no googling says the kappa is a real Japanese mythical creature.
I am a simple Covetous Demon, ready to consume the LORE bestowed upon me
Just want to say thank you, it was your lore videos that convinced me to play the souls series for the first time, I’ve just got past the archers in Londo. I’m enjoying it so much.
The information about the Interior Ministry honestly was the most fascinating thing to me. I was so intrigued by them during my playthroughs, thank you based Vaati.
See I always assumed it was the general guy that betrays everyone
Surprised you didn't mention the real life Ashina clan. They were wiped out by Date Masamune (who was one of Tokugawa's allies) at the Battle of Suriagehara, where both Isshin Ashina and his grandson Genichiro Ashina died.
The Seven-Branch Sword was also a key item in Tenchu, and Sekiro was originally planned to be part of Tenchu in it's very early stages.
*Sekijo the Shoujo*
Me: "You mean he's a girl?"
He missed an 'u' after shoujo :D, orangutan is shōjō.
I'd call it a Seinen
tfw almost every single word in Japanese has multiple meanings (ignoring tone and kanji)
But yeah like ライカントッス said, it's shōjō not shōjo.
Thank you for keeping me awake just a little bit longer.
This video was great
I always love the cinematography in these videos. Fantastic work! 😍
Thanks for great video as always! I honestly think that "Interior ministry" being a rather enigmatic non-personified adversary actually helped the player to stay focused on Genichiro as "the antihero" in this "Hero's Cycle". What do you think? :)
Imagine sekiro killing or fighting tokugawa damn that would be cool but in all honesty they should add musashi as a dlc boss
Seriously. Genichirou just had to send Wolf to Edo and let him kill himself over and over until all of Edo died from Dragonrot.
What an awesome video, many thanks to you and Zirael for revealing all these interesting details and context!
Beautifully well done video. Gives greater depth to the whole game. Much appreciated!
Sekiro: Secrets Uncovered Twice
Oh, that self-mummification ritual was actually shown off very well in Dragon Quest 11, neat to know the details of that (and disturbing)
I waited for your video so long, now it's finally here thanks man really appreciated.
This is hands down the best kind of video you make, man. Good job!
Some minor info on #3 - The Interior Minister:
As you may already know, the chief choreographer and martial artist behind the early Tenchu titles was the famous Japanese-American actor/martial artist, Sho Kosugi and according to his interviews and biography, he was a practitioner of Koga school of Shinobi no Jutsu (Koga Ryu Ninpo) for several years in Japan. I should mention that compared to the more studied and historically referenced school of Ninjutsu, Iga Ryu Ninpo, the former hardly survived in the last century and is somehow shrouded in esoteric interpretations and lack of written records. Anyway, we clearly know that Iga Ryu shinobi worked as secret service, political manipulators, assassins and paramilitary strategists for the Tokugawa shogunate as the Sengoku period was settling down in the final years of 16th century. At the opposite side, Koga Ryu Shinobi, though they were mostly relatives, ghetto buddies, collaborators with their counterparts; for the most time they were in fight with 'the interior minister', Ieyasu Tokugawa and his administration, at least from the era of previous great shogun, Hideyoshi Toyotomi. So, If we consider Sekiro a grandchild of Tenchu, this historical reference definitely makes sense, in my humble opinion.
5:45 Pretty sure that's an illustration of Nobunaga Oda, not Ito Ittosai...
Waking up and seeing a Vaati video in my inbox is a great feeling
Superb video my man
Love from the CurtainChat
Been amazing watching your production quality increase each year.
I feel like Wolf might be the biggest reference to Guts from Berserk in any From game. He doesn’t wield a giant oversized sword, but I feel like his mannerisms and appearance is the closest yet (prosthetic left arm that can attach different weapons to it, part of his hair has turned white). He’s also an extremely skilled swordsman and there’s that worry throughout the story that he might be totally consumed by his bloodlust.
Very interesting. Thanks for the centipede tale. I used to live near Mt. Mikami and am familiar with the story. A Japanese drum group in that town was named Mukade (a centipede in Japanese) Drums. (By the way, the beginning part of the samurai's name, Tawara-no-Touta, is read as Ta. And Heian era 平安時代 is pronounced as in hay, not in hi.)
Great video! I've gotta shout out the cinematography especially though, it looks extraordinary so thanks to whoever did that.
I am totally blown away by the production quality of this series. I had no idea Sekiro's lore was so deep and this was such a pleasure for me to watch. Wow.
I loved playing through the Witcher series which took inspiration from plenty of Slavic myths, it was a fascinating adventure exploring the folklore of my country and its regions. I imagine someone from Japan had similar feelings playing Sekiro.
Isn't the Witcher more inspired by Western (old German and English) tales more?
Receive notification of new Vaati content. Immediately opened
Love these videos. Nothing like hearing your voice saying “sit back relax and...” after a stressful day of work 🤘
Always love your content! Thanks for another one!
Oh, Corrupted Monk... my favorite boss fight I recently played Shadows Die Twice again and when I went to fight the Monk. I didn't want to win...I wanted to fight her over and over yet I beat her first try...heart breaking
You can keep fighting her over and over now.
Even in Dark souls they used the 8 headed serpent that Susanoo kills in Japanese folklore, they even took the idea that you can get a sword from cutting off a dragon's tail from the same story.
Really love your narration quite soothing
Plus I watch your sekiro hidden secrets video really help me a lot while playing it thanks a lot
It's impressive how relaxing you videos are!
*Time is convoluted*
Or perhaps the dragons true identity is;
The American dragon, Jake Long
"FROM THE J, TO THE A, TO THE K, TO E; I'M THE MACK DADDY DRAGON OF THE NYC, YA HEARD??!"
Great video. Always worth watching
Loved this video!!! I’ve always been fascinated by Japanese folklore in general, but Sekiro was a big part of that for me.

Keep up the phenomenal work sir \m/ - Albert
So the sculpter is a shoujo. Can't wait for the fanfic to release. Maybe title it, "Kimi no Ude"?
this is such a good video. i actually learned a lot of interesting stuff today. keep it up
you have the best visual content for the souls games. i'm amazed at the shots you get!
Just speculation here, but could the dragon god who split in two be in reference to the two Divine Heirs in game? The dragon of the mountains was Taka, and the dragon of the valleys was Kura, whereas the Divine Heir from the Divine Realm (the mountains) was Takeru, and the Divine Heir from the mortal realm (the valleys) is Kuro.
8:54 Vaati is holding me captive pls send help. 😂
Finally an another videonon Sekiro ! 🤩🤩🤩🤩 thanks again for your very quality content you are providing ! Keep up the good work !!!
Again with the pre-bedtime upload, you absolute saint.
Honestly, ancient Japan culture and lore is amazingly beautiful
A lot of history is amazingly beautiful.
Still waiting for prepare to cry: lady Maria
Damn I just binged all your vids this week. And behold a new one :)
What a quality this channel delivers. Congratulations! Keep it up!
