Miscellaneous Myths: Jorogumo

Dororo (the anime adaption) actually has a similar story and premise to this Japanese Folklore (IDK if it was the same characters or if they were called something completely different) but on a positive note it ended on a happy ending

I imedatley recognised the music in that once section as that from Inuyasha!

Jorogumo was probably very lonely.

"The emperor of japan was knocked out by moon men, but they left him the secret to eternal life!" bro these shrooms be hitting HARD

Yo kai are the evil of nature
Kami the good

Does t Japan have bathroom ghosts?

We Stan a monster f’er simp king

Tbh, I would take a chance on a spider lady, too.

So this is where the sexy spider stories come from. One of my favorite Transformers is a jorogumo against her will.

I am the only one who hates the this type of monster? The type I’m referring to is the type that will shapeshifte into a human, and use that to persuade and later trick it’s prey and they kill or eat. Like damn, I already know to be careful and somewhat mistrusting of other humans as unfortunately not all people are good, but this make it even worse as I know I’m slightly paranoid when I met someone or hear someone asking or even crying for help, like that could and is mostly likey someone who needs help, and to top it all off, the form these creatures often take are good looking girls. While these for the most part don’t affect me, it still does sometimes.

Love how in this one Matt is a completely normal dude, but Red and Blue end up as fey creatures in the Extra Mythology one bc their colorings are a mix between their full color and line-art versions

Red: a kitsune got trapped in a rock
The 2020’s: hey that’s neat

How about we break it

I’m getting huge coraline vides 😐

To Red and Blue, and the other crew members who work on this channel:
I've really enjoyed alot of the videos you guys have posted, especially the myths and the Journey to the West series. I've learned alot about other countries, their history, and especially their many stories. Classics Summarized is particularly one of my favorite spin-offs to watch/listen to since I don't have the original books. Though I couldn't help but notice that there's only one video of my native country, the Philippines. The Mt. Mayon myth video was quite entertaining even though I've already read the original story before. Yet I would I really love to see a few more videos of stories from my home country, and ho boy. I have a lot you guys could cover, but I'll tell you the ones that can be very helpful for high school students. I will be warning you now however: there are English translations, but whatever language always covers more than a hundred pages.

The first one you could try is the 1890's classic, Noli me Tangere by Jose Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines. I don't exactly have a way to describe the entire basic premise, but it feels worthy enough to be on your channel as a Classics Summarized. The same can go for its sequel El Filibusterismo, which puts quite the spin on a major character from the previous book. I won't say who as to avoid spoilers, but I think you guys will really enjoy these books.

I doubt you'll ever see this comment though, but I would love it if you guys tried talking about these books. If you ever decide to do so, I'll be waiting, and so will be everyone else. Hope y'all are taking good care of yourselves and we'll see you next time. Okay bye~

This is honestly one of the reasons I like yugioh so much, most crypts, and many myths such as juraigomo, tengu are already in the game

...you guys remember that rock, it broke

The best reaction to finding out your lover is a monster:
"When can I marry them?"

There is 2019 anime Dororo where there is one episode with a man and Jorugumo lady fall in love

And monster thurst has existed just as long aparently

“Tolkien’s crippling arachnophobia did not die for this” RED IM HOWLINGGGGG

Rachnera: Believe it or not, Honey, that's more or less the story of how my great (x28) grandparents met! ❤

You get an extra like in spirit for the use of Inuyasha ost music. Praise❤

I love how the tengu lord tells him "there are less emotionally taxing ways to die." Is that part of the story? Because I can see a character in a Japanese folktale giving strangely sensible advice like that. Anything to persuade someone else not to harm themselves or the community.

Red is a Lord of the Rings fan confirmed!!!

"So one day the priest accompanies the woodcutter out to the waterfalls to recite a couple of spider repellant sutras AND as one spider web shoots out from the waterfall the priest repels it with the power of Buddhism, I think." LOL

I love crazy Japanese regional cryptid horror stories!

Ooh, tell the one about the flying canine ghost-hesd that forms when you starve a chained-up dog to death with a bowl of food just out of reach!

Man was down BAD for that arachnussy

The OG monsterfucker to top all monsterfuckers everybody

YOU NEED TO TALK ABOUT KITSUNE

as soon as extra credits showed up i was like
....
"and now YOUR A NAZI! You didnt ask for this but here you are!" lmao that channel is dense AF

Japan is always that one fucking rock, killing people

Causually comments about mystery murder rock, then never speaks about it again.
What are you HIDING Red????

Truly the dream for vore fetishists into monster girls

I have to appreciate how many videos of OSP where a theme from Inuyasha plays. Rather fitting for this subject as it pertains to Yokai.

sooooo that rock red metinons in passing... it broke around the start of the covid-19 pandemic

fun fact that rock split in two
and if you do the calculation the time it takes to walk from japan to England 16 hours a day was the same amount of time between the rock breaking and the queen's death. now I'm not saying a kitsune killed the queen but still it's an interesting cross over in time.

isn’t there one character in demon slayer based off of this spider demon? anyways they’re both hot id let them take me

Imagine taking what is poorly summed up as a spider succubus and writing a story where the unsuspecting victim said "Okay but she was cute tho". Only a hundred or so years ago and saying something like that to anyone outside of Asia would get you sent to the Christ box and shouted at to repent

Inuyaha background music.

spider spouse

I mean, considering how spider mating works, I’m guessing the hidden ending of this tale is death by snu snu... our boy really, really didn’t understand what getting eaten out entailed in the mind of a spider lady.
