    something about how morty calls rick “jii-chan” is so adorable to me. in Japanese shows I usually hear senior family members addressed with suffixes like -san; -chan is much more informal, which makes sense since morty just straight up calls him by his first name in English (which would be extremely unusual in Japanese afaik)

    Okay, so, legit, the underlining joke of this is that Akihabara in the 90s used to be a really underground nerd/neckbeard/geek site that tailored to their niche's whether it be anime, computers, what have you. Then in the 00s it became super popular, all the purists left to a new district (that they guard jealously) and Akiba became like what you see and expect here. Rick, the old fart, is pissed his den of equals is just... gone... and him being an Akiba O.B. is so on point, it's frickin' amazing.

    For those curious, these are all the yokai that appear in the episode, in order of appearance:
    Karakasa-Obake - Also called Kasa-Obake, it is a tsukumogami (a kind of yokai formed when a household object is abandoned for long enough to create a spirit of its own) born when an umbrella completes 100 years.
    Wa nyūdō - A demonic sadistic flaming wheel with a disembodied head paying for their many sins after death. They roam around roads and capture humans - normally wicked and corrupt people, but not always - and drag their souls to hell
    Onibi - ghostly spheres of blue fire that appear in groups, similar to the english will-o'-the-wisp.
    Chōchinobake - Another tsukumogami, this one coming from lanterns.
    Ittan momen - Yet another tsukumogami, being malicious animated pieces of cotton.
    Nure Onna (?) - it is a vampiric sea serpent with either a human torso or just a human head that lures people to drink their blood. they are normally women, though, so I don't know about that one, I feel like it is another.
    Kappa - a river creature that resembles the cross of a turtle and a child that can prey or drown humans swimming on rivers and lakes. They have dish-like depressions in their heads that must always be filled with water so the Kappa has a source of his vital energy when on land. Despite feeding on human entrails and overall liking to cause mischief, they can be reasoned with and even befriended, normally by offering cucumbers to them, their favorite food.

    I like how they created something that was distictively Rick and Morty and distinctively anime without being a cliche of either. This short is unironically both a better episode of Rick and Morty and a better homage to anime than the Voltron Weasel episode.

    The amount of references in this was ridiculous from the Jutsu from the enemy to the JoJo reference Morty did: "Wait a minute... if you met her thirty years ago... just how old is she now!?" then at the end was a reference to Your Name's giant crater

    Serious question! Is the “daughter of the screw shop owner” a reference to Kayoko Kamijo - the Tokyo Instagram blogger whose father owns the big screw shop in Ota Ward? It seems too weird to be coincidental
    I mean, the basketball court was a real thing, how deep does this episode go?

      It seems like there's a pretty clear influence from Teito Monogatari that I suspect most Western fans aren't likely to recognize as well. Mainly because it's never been translated into English for some unknowable reason.

      @@Belgand It's 12 volumes and requires a fairly entrenched cultural knowledge of Taira no Masakado and the Meiji and Taisho eras of Japanese history, so it's a hard sell to a mainstream audience outside of Westerners curious about the series, more for the visual iconography of Kato influencing manga and video game villains like M. Bison / Vega in Street Fighter II.
