Weebs - "Those Naruto names are starting to make more sense."
Shut up weeb
Funny how a little dive into other’s myths and history can help you understand certain fictions and stories
Naruto is wasn't listed as a God. This mythology is wrong. Also Sasuke is part demon!
Yep.🤣🤣🤣
My point exactly my dude 🤣🤣
Amaterasu: Tear from left eye.
Tsukoyomi: Tear from right eye.
Susanoo: Nose snot.
I'm actually writing a comic where Japanese gods fight off invading demon armies in Japan...with humans caught in the middle. One of the main characters is a child born from a Japanese god and a demoness. :D
What's it called?
@@jsiahprimus6234 It's actually untitled atm. I've been working on a Momotaro remake comic instead. I really should give it a long hard thought and give it a name though! All I have so far is the introduction pages written and a base story idea.
@@muajin Either way,good luck on your comic 👍😁
@@jsiahprimus6234 Thanks. The Momotaro remake is 3/4 done. If you're familliar with Momotaro.
@@leejianne5342 Sure can !
Gods from Japan :
We are legends
Gods from China :
We are legends
Gods from India :
We are legends
And then,
There is a Monkey....
😂😂😂😂
Always be the legendary
Every Nation has a God or a Goddess.
Reject religion, return to monke
@@cheefqueef6494 they are all just person
But people at that time assume they were god or something because what they did
And about monkey that evol into human ia just theory .
Its never become fact
Event darwin know that
He miss one thing that connect monkey betwen human and still not find it up until he died
So forget it guys
We human is perfect creature
"Sun wukong claps"
Sun wokong and lord Hanuman claps
As tragic the Fate of Izanami and Izanagi is, as bitter-sweet are those of Susanoo and Raijin
The parallel to the story of Orpheus and his wife Eurydice is interesting.
Also shares a certain storytelling aspect of the Biblical story of Sodom and Gomorah with Lot's wife Edith.
@@Trayton The gods across all these cultures are all the same gods with different names hence the parallels.
All ancient Gods and Goddesses are interesting especially when it comes to the Egyptian Gods and Goddesses because they were the first and they are more ancient.... That doesn't mean I disrespect Japanese, Greek and Norway beliefs because they are all old
I am pretty sure there was a religion older than that which was the originator for all god related myths. But I forget which one.
@@jordothe1st835 all of them derive from the indo european proto religion just that not much is known about that but all share various myth like snake slaying (orochi, hydra, vitra, apep etc etc).
I love how often Smite art shows up in these types of videos.
myths will always be interesting because every character in them has a tragic flaw about them.
Very true and that makes them the most interesting
Some say reoccurring theme of flaws. I say lessons, lessons the gods learned independently. Perhaps it is our Destiny to independently conclude that of the source of all. How the laws of nature came to be, how anything other than an endless void exist. Maybe you have to crawl before you walk.. I think everyone is in the cry for any help needed level. We just started standing up with help? Maybe we can't have their help because we choose nuke tech.. Probably because a war broke out on Mars (reffing to Mars rover detecting mineral only generated by nuke explosion. Maybe they are here to avoid disaster they suffered from. Imagine not trusting anyone which includes an advanced society w lessons learned first hand. Because when you don't know you fill in the blanks. To all attempting in assisting life ever, indescribable love, Respect, well wishes on your after life and love & unknown depths of gratitude for trying.
So basically what happen in Uzume part is = Uzume: throw a party in front of Amatarasu house, Amatarasu: what the hell is going on out there
Didn't you know some technique's from naruto are based on greek gods
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Susanoo yess hes a amazing in WARRIORS OROCHI SERIES I HOPE AMATERASU IS PLAYABLE IN THE FUTURE
Can you please do one on the Caribbean, it has some interesting folklore and creatures
I suggest you to play Ōkami, is the actual story of Susanoo defeating Orochi but with a twist! I love Japanese mythology, I am very happy finding this video! Good job! 👍🏻
Okami is all sorts of epic. It doesn't just cover the Orochi story but makes references to all sorts of Japanese folklore. Also... Amaterasu Kami Sama in her wolf form FTW!
@@TheMindofRa Fr! I love this game and never got bored playing it!!!
@@madqueen_2262 does it work on mobile?
Now I'm curious about Japanese myth monsters
Enjoyed this very much . I find in interesting how some of these myths remind me of other countries myths. Also interesting how all the gods once walk on earth
Yeah like the myth where they were walking out of the underworld reminds me of orpheus and eurydice in Greek mythology
@@justadictatorridingonanuke3714 I think that it's because lots of religions came from the religion of Ancient Greek. And Greek mythology and lots of their deities came from the religion of Ancient Egypt.
I’m currently writing a manga/anime about samurais (Japan defending itself from Kublai Khan who leads Mongolian empire) and at one point in the story Ichiro (Main character) goes to find Ryujin to help defend against the outnumbering mongols (Once he finds Ryujin that opens the door to adding Japanese mythology to my story) I currently have S1 down & writing ep 11 of S2 atm
Thanks so much for this video! This is fantastic & truly helpful as I gather research for my new book. You gained a new subscriber!
This is why I love Japanese culture
Theses or myth not real gods
I mean it's their religion
Even though I’m not Japanese I love to learn more about Japan culture
@@-wm3f hey
@@ackeehead1567 hi
Did I just saw Raiden from mortal kombat in intro
Mythology-folklore a-z Bradon Byrd number one fan
QUAN CHI: So, you're originally a demon from hell! How come we didn't saw each other before?
RAIDEN: Shut up!
Shang Tsung: HAHAHAHAA YEAH ... OOOF!
Quan Chi:speaking of which can you show me your true form i actually want to see it *Raiden turns back into Raijin* Quan Chi:you look fucking stupid *Raijin strikes him with lightning*
Wow I didnt know that two mortal combat characters(Raiden and fuijin) were actually real!
I knew Oda drew inspiration from a lot of Japanese folklore but i didnt know Kishimoto put so much inspiration from Japanese folklore...damnnn
Itachi' susano'o had yatas mirror, and magatama attack he used in a joint attack with Naruto and Bee against zombie Nagato, and he got the sword of Kusanagi when he sealed orochimaru, gaining the 3 regalia of Japan and defeating the monster Orochi
No joke but the moves in nartuo and techniques match the gods their names after
How does Tsukuyomi match the thegod
@@eliasmagus5086 the infinite tsukuyomi is literally a Moon reflection
@@miraelosman244 Not only that some spiritual people say the moon is a soul trap that bleaches you of your memories when your die. That's why when you get reincarnated you can't remember your past lives.
This is thee coolest site EVER !!!! I love Myths and legends of every kind! Thank you for doing this😀
I love History & Mythology Studies. Each stories and plotlines will always fascinate and entice me that we're human can create such imagination and concepts.
But one think though that I'd always wonder, why interbreeding are common amongst gods & deities ?
Gods/goddess in most religions don't have any DNA
Not even two minutes into the video and there's incest
Thank you for making this video. I can use this information for one of my video game series.
Just found a whole new respect for Amatarasu. I can see why Izanagi chose her as the Protector of the Heavens. However, Uzume's an interesting one. Goddess of Sexual Pleasure? Sign me up, chief!
She’s not a waifu she’s a deity... show some respect
@@Aristocratic13 Clearly, I was joking. Geez people these days.
@@JumugiDesunra Thank you
@@Aristocratic13 why not both
There's more context in the contest of Amaterasu and Susano-O that showed a little bit darker side of Amaterasu though that it wasn't mentioned...
My Favourite HAS to be Amaterasu!!!! ;-; Simply reminds me of RA of Egypt I'd Say Perfect Combo that is.
I love ra
The sun is called Ra in Aotearoa/New Zealand too.
@@leonieromanes7265 wait what?
@@user-qv5vp4qr8s Ra is the name of the sun in Maori mythology🌤. Ra was created after the earth and sky were separated. To keep the sky father Rangi warm and give him company, along with the moon and stars. Except he was something of a speed demon. Ra was captured and beaten by the demiGod Maui. Because he travelled across the sky too quickly. Humans needed Ra to cross the sky more slowly. Ra was forced to slow down by Maui, so People could achieve what they needed to get done by nightfall.🌌
Watched a couple of the videos! And definitely entertaining and exposes the viewer to different cultures … but it would be better with less BGM in your videos or maybe a different one and less distracting!
We love Japanese fantasy ❤️😁
This ain't fantasy
I'm not gonna lie that was a pretty amazing video I will subscribe now thanks
As we know incest anime are common in Japan bcz izanami and izanagi😂😂😂
Same as greek
@@kenjimikki7064 japanese mythology God
@@panther1931 Uh... Yeah, they know. They're just voicing the incest trend between Japanese and Greek gods is similar.
When I heard twins and union I just said "Of course they would" sarcastically out loud.
I love ❤️ god’s originals timelines and love 💕 god’s mythology from A-Z mythical heroes and villains Greek-,Egyptian-,Norse-,Roman,Japanese,
I don’t know why but this video makes me want to play Smite again.
Maybe it’s because half of the gods in the thumbnail are literally taken from Smite lol
@@bryanvang9862 this exactly. That's actually why I clicked.
To be fair Amaterasu contest had more context that show that Amaterasu cheated and got annoyed that she lost and then it began the whole rivalry...
This was awesome!
Subscribed straight away 👊💯😎
Demons, Onis then their gods
Doesn't mean you should disrespect all of them, good or evil.... Nowadays people disrespect the ancients especially when it comes to Egypt, Greece, Norway or viking and Japanese beliefs, I'm more grateful for the way people are starting to believe in the old ways again like me I believe in the ancient Egyptian Gods and Goddesses and what they believed in
Oh my gods same i love Egyptian gods so much
Id love to see a top notch produced movie(s)/shows for this story and all the stories of mythology. Is there one for Tengri (Turkic Pantheon)
Duuude! I was thinking the same thing. Greek mythology made for some good movies. We definitely need some mytho-movies from other lands like Japan.
It would be very nice to see you do a video on Indian Mythology as well!! Really love your videos and the way you present all the different mythologies!
I’ve found this video so interesting!
It’s a pleasure to meet you again
Can't seem to decide one favourite among these Japanese gods, as they're all my favourite...... I'd pick Uzume (Ame-no-Uzume) over Greek's Aphrodite anytime.
Check out "The Mightiest Gods Series" Playlist here: czcams.com/video/oqDnimPfYPo/video.html
Amatarasu for wisdom & sentiment. Uzume for personality & confidence.
Please do some FILIPINO GOD AND GODDESS my favs. Are SIDAPA ( God of the underworld ) and LIBULAN ( The Moon God ) BOTH are male and SIDAPA fell in love to LIBULAN.❤
Same people different civilizations. ALL aliens.
My God! Shinto gods and Japanese mythology is so damn similar to the Hindu ones.
to put it simply on a PUN, Amaterasu hid her self by a tantrum of sibling rivals then here comes Uzume stripping off to get her attention, now Amaterasu went out to watch... OKAY ... XD
Mortal kombat raiden makes so much more sense now
I came here because of BlazBlue (Terumi becomes Susano, Amaterasu being Noel Vermilion's true form among other references) Ame-no-Ozume in Persona 5, Izanagi and Izanami in Persona 4..damn this video is great.
Definitely the pantheon I find the most interesting, but the Greek and Egyptian deities are way more popular.
love how you used the smite characters 😂🙏
Since both Raiden and Fuijin are in mortal Kombat, I know a fire god appears in one of the games, perhaps others?
me too, can't decide my favorite among these Gods. :)
This went from naruto to mortal kombat
Facts
13:45 Ame-no-Uzume
Can't wait to hear all bout the Gods of Japan ❤❤🤙🏻
That's gonna be a VERY long list by mean very long list it'll be 8 million million gods
Wow !! EPIC!!!😻😻
So Amaterasu pulled a fast one and ran
More than 2000 years ago, a large number of Chinese elites and technical personnel sent by Emperor Qin. They moved to ancient Japan (including the ancient Korean Peninsula and ancient North Vietnam). There were also some Chinese nobles and officials who fled to ancient Japan because of the war ...
For example:
Emperor Qin's son. Yang Guifei of the Tang Dynasty. Of course they are not alone. Instead, they arrived in ancient Japan by a team.
These Chinese elites moved to Japan. They are responsible for developing a very primitive place in ancient Japan (backward and lack of resources). Establish a local local regime in the local area. The Chinese emperor named ancient Japan as "東瀛 dong ying & 扶蘇 fusu & 倭wo". As one of the regions of China's power jurisdiction. It is closely related to the Chinese royal family and the official.
For example: 卑彌呼 Himiko. She is the adoptive daughter of the Chinese emperor. She is a Chinese female official position. On behalf of the Chinese emperor, she is responsible for governing Japan. All funds are supported by the Chinese royal family. She knows Chinese Taoist ghosts and magic spells and divination. She is fluent in Chinese language (official language and Han dialect) and Chinese characters......
During the Tang Dynasty, Chinese national strength was more powerful. The navigation technology was stronger. The Chinese emperor sent a fleet to Japan. Some Chinese people followed the fleet and returned to China (there may be a small number of japan's indigenous slaves followed). This is almost 70 years apart. They asked the Tang Emperor to send more Chinese elite teams, high -tech personnel and a large number of Chinese products to go to Japan 倭. This is the " Tang ambassador 遣唐使 "recorded in history. They are ancient Chinese . After that, a large number of Chinese officials, nobles and elites also appeared on ancient Japan 倭 (Today Japan still has many ancient Chinese tombs and unearthed cultural relics ).
Ancient Chinese architects built a Chinese palace in ancient Japan 倭. Exercise China's official governance system. Representing this place (ancient Japan) was occupied by the Chinese.
The Chinese and a large number of Chinese culture naturally appeared in ancient Japan 倭. anicant Japan 倭 in this period. Chinese culture is an explosive growth.
Including : Dragon Totem (representing Chinese imperial power), Chinese characters, Chinese scholars (recorded local history), Chinese architect (Chinese palace), Chinese physician, Chinese monk, Chinese martial artist, Chinese artist (music, painting, calligraphy, chess art, tea culture..........), Chinese growers, various technical personnel in China (cloth, iron, weapons ...), Chinese officers, Chinese coins, a large number of Chinese products and Chinese history books ....... all appeared in ancient Japan.
These are used to use it to the local Chinese nobles and Chinese. They call Japan at that time "China 中國" and "Shenzhou 神州" (the Han people's named beauty to China). They have always been proud of the Chinese identity and the Han family.
At that time in ancient Japan 倭. In addition to the Chinese regime, there are more than 100 indigenous tribes (including Japanese ancestors today). They often attack local Chinese. These contents are recorded in history.
In the 13th century in Japan.
Some of these indigenous people (speaking Japanese language. Hairstyle is bald in the top of the head) occupied the Chinese palace. Killing some senior Chinese officials. Control all Chinese technicians. Forcing them to join the "Japanese 日本人".
And let these Chinese provide Chinese high culture and technology for their rule. Help and continue to develop "Japan 日本", a country that is performed by indigenous people.
These indigenous people re -named this place is "Japan 日本". And protest and provocative to the Chinese royal family.
Local Chinese scholars (forced to become Japanese) use Chinese Chinese characters to create "Japanese characters" that can be suitable for Japanese language.
Later. Chinese emperor Wu Zetian 武則天 knew that China's "倭" was captured and occupied. She instructed officials to modify the ancient Japanese name of history. From then on, in the Chinese history book, the Chinese city "倭" was renamed "Japan日本".
《舊唐書》中有《倭國傳》，而且增加了《日本國傳》。其《傳》云：「日本國者，倭國之別種也。以其國在日邊，故以日本為名。或曰：倭國自惡其名不雅，改為日本。或云：日本舊小國，並倭國之地。其人入朝者，多自矜大，不以實對，故中國疑焉。」
Again, I love your new Video Mr. See U in History!
Next Video Phillipine Mythology. 😅😅😅
Excellent rhyming!
I enjoyed the format and info. The storytelling is also worth note. But you need to make sure your narrorator is pronouncing names correctly. It became difficult to look passed. Other than that, I liked it
1:14 damn! Thikkk izanami
fantastic i loved it could u do my culture which is very alike, Maori, NZ. xxx blessings
The MoonGod was like this chick is filthy...
I don't blame him for being disgusted
Edit: 27:10
izanami is caked tf up!!!
u should od the Tengri Pantheon and the Ife Pantheon
Tsukiyomi it's cool 😎
I think my favorite god is Bishsmonten, the War god
Egyptian gods next
Haha Susano's Character development
Susanoo raijin and fujin is my favorite
Well
I think
We all know
where Kratos will Go after Decimating Norse
Please kratos not the gods of japanese mythology
Please kratos not the gods of japanese mythology
I would buy it lol
Kratos sucks
We seriously need a drama show about these! Or an anime. Anything will work. Maybe add a bit of action by having gods from different mythologies clashing with each other!
They kind of are in the Ragnarok anime thats on Netflix. But its Gods vs Legendary/Mythical Humans. So not exactly what you said but you should check it out if you havent. Its pretty good.
@@RobDylanger thank you for the suggestion, i did watch an episode or two but I didn't dig it unfortunately. Tbh, now that I'm reading this, the first anime that popped in my head is 7 deadly sins, I'm thinking they should make it into that kind of a show.
Emmm, if we were to put together the gods, Greek, Egyptian and Nordic, maybe Japanese that would be ok, but if we give gods Maya, Slavs, or horror, Mesopotamian, they don't stand a chance, it's the difference of powers, when the gods in mythologies first behaved like a funny kindergarten, they are Mayan deities , they controlled time, the Slavs controlled the whole universe, and the Mesopotamian gods ... are almost almighty.
That tsukuyomi story had me laughing because I probably would have the same reaction. lol
I would like to see something where all the gods from all over the world meet up
Can do you do Gods of Norse Mythology
No wonder I love whole weet bread 🤣
Would like to see a manga movie on these!..
Oh my god!!
What’s the difference in power between raijin and susanoo? It seems they both produce lightning wind and storms
susanoo is Poseidon , Raijin is the god of sky and storm, Susanoo is the god of water, and of the woods and storms, he was actually a god like Raijin once, but he got married ...
heh, advice for young Kami, if you get married you lose your status
i had subsribed you
I wonder what is kratos next destination after he destroy the Norse God's
Japanese or Egyptians
@@beezybrown33 if it is Japanese gods next it would be cool to fight both Raijin and Fujin at once 🌬🌩
Most likely Egyptian
I think it was thr Egyptian pantheon. I don't know if it will be Kratos himself though looks like some one might take the reins
Keep in mind he would have to fight Sun Wukong if he ever fights the Japanese gods. Krotos is sorely outmatched due to how overpowered he is.
Fujin is by far my favorite.
izanami and izanagi's story feels very similar to RWBYs Salem and Oz
I like how u used images from smite game lmao so badass smite knows whats up
Can you please do an African mythology
They have a playlist of African mythology videos
This is African mythology same gods different faces 😂
The anime Blue Seed is loosely based on this legend. They even go over this in the anime telling of the 8 daughters and the Orochi no Orochi some things were changed though as they say the last daughter who had almost been eaten married Sussan-O and then became to be known as Princess Kushinada. Some things were omitted like the 8 tails and the belly but they still mentioned the 8 heads and the flame red eyes nor did they mention the 8 gates but they still added the sake. The river they lived by was supposed to be the river of Hiei in Izumo. They have some actual info in the anime and even name the hero Kushanagi and that translates to grass guard. And since the blades which came form his arms sorta looked like grass woven together and he was supposed to guard the Kushinada it made since as you could use a sword to guard something. Just thought was neat to mention
The mortal Kombat game reboot should have the raider and fujin back story for how they used to be demons and raiders Japanese name and mom
son .
What’s the background song or music called?
4:32 sounds like this one was inspired by the story of Orpheus and Eurydice.
Naruto series names... Omg😍❤️those gods and their behaviour are same like naruto's characters.
I surprised the Naruto Shippuden names are actually from Shinto.
Its not uncommon for things to get influence from mythology
Theres alot of games and other anime that borrows things from this and other mythologies
@@Ricki_47 like DBZ, wukong
Why would you be surprised? Lolol shinto is japanese religion
There are so much media with mythological fantasies that stem from our real life myths.
What will be funny
Would be an over the top anime about christianity. Like jesus comes back...and this time, he means business...
Izanami thiiiiccccccc
How could you doubt any of the legend...it all true you can just tell..
Izanami is the good one here. Izanagi is the one that refused to see he started the problem, then chickened out.
And I subscribed to your channel 😎
Thanks bro
@@stealthyghost1 ur welcome bro
33:57 thats an image from the Diablo game
kratos : * glow eyes *
😂🤣😂🤣
Kratos, the father of atheism.
Bruuuuh..
"Oh This About To Be Fun, Atreus Lets Make A Trip To Japan"
Kratos is obviously false and weak
Amaterasu is nice and all but does she have a "follow my lead" with Dr.Doom?👀
4:45 that story reminds me of Orpheus and his wife....
10:01 Warrior Orochi 3🔥
Woohoo! New video!
