i think the moral is that despite our best to delay gratification we as human beings are deeply flawed and prone to break even codes when the price is right
Good interpretation :)
thanks @@Linfamy was listening an audio book from jordan peterson and many things have made sense to me like the 2 sides of one self (light and dark) constantly reasons and fights
Linfamy bruh he offered the ride then proceeded to tie the kitsune down and take it to his friends only to beat it up, why even bother offering a ride then?
the Moral is: "Everybody's a stupid jerk in the degenerate age, that's how you know it's the degenerate age"
especially kyle
@@davidcai1061 "Fuck you Kyle"
Moral of the story: *"when you hitchhike, dive out into the bushes when your almost home or you'll get beaten for being too Pretty"*
Legit good advice
Or just don't hitchhike...
It always amazes me how hitchhiking was so normal in the olden days. I know 'it was a different time' and blah blah blah but still, were there no murderers, nasty things done to women, or just generally evil people back in the day? I mean come on
So many crimes from hitchhiking. Why it take so long to learn hitchhiking (getting into random person's vehicle/ horse) = potentially very dangerous... ? Huh .
isnt it diving off the horse before she reached her destination that got her in that mess in the first place?
Wow, they tortured that fox for commiting the equivalent of a knock-a-door-run
I've never heard it called that 😛. I've always called it ding-dong-ditch.
@@Linfamy I am not english or american, so I had to look it up and simply chose the best sounding result xD. I also found ding-dong-ditch but thought it sounded to weird so no one would use it... But I agree that it is objectively the funniest version
Nickie-nickie- nine door is what we called it
@@alana.dyer.author interesting, what's the origin of that?
@@Linfamy idk it was like some random initiation into the group. You had to knock twice (nickie-nickie part) and run for nine house. If you didn't get caught you were in.
Poor kitsune. Its mischievousness wasn't anything really bad, only a minor annoyance at best, and it had to suffer so much torture.
It seems to me that it's a story of how bullies get away without any accountability.
"And the moral of the story is...kids, you can bully people without consequences. Thanks for listening."
@@Linfamy Right? Something like that! (Thanks for your narrative which adds some super valid critical light to these stories!)
Wow, whoever made up the story really didn't have much imagination. Most of the Kitsune stories are really fun and have the "victims" usually is some silly manner in the end. This one just seemed like a woman wanted to hitchhike and instead of a spice and wolf romance type story, we get just a-holes doing a-hole things.
I would really like to watch more myth stories though, they are always the best.
I mentioned at the end that this may be satire, a critique of the upper class. I think it makes more sense that way, otherwise you're right, this is just assholes getting away with bullying.
it was before christ... you think it easy to come up with this bullshit.... there must a some real story and change to made it more intersting... or horny guy who want a pussy so they said it was a fox...
@@campkira It wasn't BC, it was during the Heian period.
Linfamy Reminds me of that other guy who also got tricked by fox cause he thought the illusion people were his friends. Maybe this guy reincarnated and decided to try a second time? Or the author read that story and be like "but what happens if he tried again". I even half expected that he would bury her alive the second time and bring his friends over instead of getting to "his friends place". The other half involves monks :P

I thought William Shakespeare was the omega king of bittersweet endings
Hi iskall
Only for English. Eastern Europeans have some really dark tales. And Shakespeare was largely drawing upon the Greek theatre tradition, though with some original stories.
Linfamy : We’ll call him...the man.
Me : Incredible names thy hath bestowed them good sir.
Amazing

Imagine Linfamy naming his pet(s).
(If Linfamy sees this)
Love your videos Linfamy, they make me chuckle. Learned a lot too.
Poor kitsune :< it just want to ride
riding horses is fun, I can't blame it.
ikr?
@@HisameArtwork for fox... yeah...
"But after riding for a while, she would jump off, and run away..."
THESE KITSUNES MUST BE STOPPED
LMAO 😂
@@Linfamy Thank you!
I must say I always love Kitsune tales and you deliver them in just the right way.
"The Kitsune and the stubborn man" *****
Yes! Clearly! 'Cause... Ehmm... Hang on a minute, I'm sure I'll remember the reason in a bit!
😂
"I'm a Fox Demon, he he. A wily trickster spirit. I use my clever tricks to make humans MILDLY CONFUSED and even sometimes A TAD INCONVENIENCED!"
Japanese ghost stories are wierd.
they playing trick on human... sound like a first step of experiment... best to stop them while ahead... since alot of tale end with someone die...
As we *all* know and aware Fox Yokai is the *best* Yokai!
Sorry forever alone snek nure onna
What about tanuki though 🤔
@@Linfamy They would make good Fur collections and clothes
*evil poacher laughs*
@@thedoruk6324 this means WAR, Pom Poko style
@@Linfamy With enough ammunition and fortifications winning this challange is possible
Ok, but hear me out. Tsuchinoko.
Ah yes, more fox trickster stories. Am I the only one who really love trickster stories? Foxes and other stuff from other cultures? It just seems amazing.
Good job on the video Linfamy.
i only care of cute girl fox... with real ear and tale.. will had a fun night...
Linfamy, If you died and became a Yokai, which Yokai do you think you would become?
Good question. I'd want to be a Kitsune. LOL.
I bet that I'm not alone with this answer...
Hmmmm... either kitsune or tanuki. Both can trick people with shapeshifting and I'm all about that >:)
@@Linfamy and I was 50% certain that you were one of the hipster who would choose Tengu...
I'll admit that as a cat person, it would be a nekomata in that situation. You can get fire powers, can use necromancy, and do other crazy stuff.
Oh, and sorry for dropping in. Like learning, watching, and laughing at your videos, Mr. Linfamy.
BUTT EYE
Ah yes…the kitsune from the Koya River…Koya…Kitsune…
Tamamo Vitch (Koyanskaya)!
It’s late at night but I need my bedtime story from Linfamy my first.
But it’s 10 pm
Luna Rei Timezones
I approve 💗
Does Japan have any myths about time travel? I’m just curious?
He did a video called “Urishami Taro” also he did a few more videos where there's time traveling
Idon't really_care I’ll check it out, I probably saw it and can’t remember already 🤦♂️ lol
Thanks 😄
He's done a few and there are plentu of time travel stories in japanese mythology. Last video on the 7 lucky gods one literally threw a man hundreds of years into the future cause he didn't speak through a game of xiangqi.
Yes I did do an Urashima Taro vid
Always hyped for more Folktales!
Especially if it involves any *Yokai*
3:43 literally picking up girls🤣
:P
anything for pussy.... next time if a girl ask for help in the middle of the night i would do that... Did found strange girl try but it don't made sense since it was right in front of a shop that open 24 hr.. why don't she just go to the shop.... not some random guy who going to convenience store..
I expected that one of the guardsmen will say 'You son of a turtle' or something like that (yes, I know that it is a chinese swearword, not japanese)
"You son of a turtle!"
"I am son of a fox"
Make more Kitsune stories they're my favorite!
When i got the notification I pressed so hard my screen almost crack
Your poor screen 😭
No one really cares.
@@disrespectthemwomensubjuga5471 Jeez chill I just wanted to write a comment
I love the way you tell us these stories
Fox: Hey i wanna see hijo castle!
Imperial Guard: TO THE GALLOWS WITH THE WENCH!
*Even Heian Japan had it's own, fair share of "Kyles"*
The Man's full name is Theodore Manford.
Genius.
Sometimes I wonder if these kitsune stories are really just women hiding from horrific relationships..:/
Hiding? How so?
@@chicoti3 maybe bad toxic relationships or after their human husband insult her scent cough Overly sacrastic productions animal brides nod for that reference
@@kitsuneayano Nah that's just the victimism of the age we live in. Plenty of men suffer domestic abuse and nobody bats an eye because it goes agaisnt their narrative that women are holy beings incapable of doing evil.
Hitchhiking going wrong... Ah, the classic trope! I didn’t realize it was that old.
‘Konjaku Monogatarishu" (The Tale of Times Now Past)is a collection of stories that are said to have been established in the late Heian period of after AD,1120
The author and the editor are not understood.
There are more than 1100 stories in all thirty-one volumes.
Since the beginning of each story begins with "Now is the old days", it was named
‘Konjaku Monogatarishu"
(The Tale of Times Now Past)
I made this story about a kitsune. His name is Khomiatzu, or Khomi for short. He is an orphan who grew up with his relatives and has some quirky discussions with his cousins. He can be mischievous at times, but also helpful. Because I don't want to make him inaccurate, I am now studying Japanese culture, because he's shapeshifting fox from japan.
Feels bad to the Kitsune now that people are just at home. No more hiking
Ya true true =(
I absolutely love his sarcastic play on stereotypes
Thank you for this friend. Love it now I'll sleep and dream of your wonderful story. 😊🌹🌺
You're welcome, Mr. Punisher.
Linfamy: What do you think was the intent of the story?
...
Yokai damn it Literature Class, I thought I left you in High School!
3 page essay on my desk next Monday. 12 point font only, I'm not falling for that again!
I haven't watched this in so long.... no wonder why I was so bored.
I'm pretty sure that the moral of the story is "don't fuck with the imperial guards. if they'll beat up a sexy and magical fox lady, wtf do you think they'll do to your unmagical, unimportant ass?".
3rd earliest!
You are third :O
To sum up. Poor Fox lady loved riding on a horse with a powerful guy - but did not want to put out or mess up the human’s life (as can happen in these tails) so it ran away. Eventually they caught it and tortured it. And “The MAN” did not realize that they went too far till the fox told them they are torturing fun loving foxes!
Was this story a warning against hitch hiking, demanding sex from vulnerable women or the new warriors on the land are jerks. I am going with that last one.
Hey !! I don't know if this is true, but I heard that raccoons(in Japan) also had similar powers to that of a kitsune. Not shapeshifting but illusions.
Can I get more details in this Linfamy??
Thank you.
are you talking about tanuki? linfamy has already done a video about them.
@@ccshade7294 oh OK!
I'll make sure I'll watch the it
Thank you!
Tanuki could shapeshift also. They've got a rivalry going with the kitsune.
Yeah that'd be the tanuki. They can shapeshift =)
Also, they have magic scrotums. Which is always a plus.
That whole starting bit with the heian period, the uprisings, killings, and chaos.... its giving me deja vu...
I can see this being a story told to people that like to pull pranks as a means to deter their behavior.
Me: loves the ninetaled fox* •this comes out•. *clicks• me again: YESH
Kitsune always means naughty stories ;)
Yay linfamy for kitsune story
"It'll be worthless in the coming apocalypse . . ."
Still laughing.
aw, theres a little bunny on his head :D
People in the Heian period in Japan : "This sucks."
Some other people in Japan : "We know."
Oh, I thought there was going to be a twist where the 2nd woman was a real human woman, and the fox had tricked the men a second time by making them act like assholes to some poor girl who legitimately got lost in the woods...
Maybe the moral was "Humans are such dicks even the trickster spirits have had enough"
Me too.
Would you blame us, humans almost caused their own extinction multiple times, they try to erase entire cultures because a crasy man with a mostach told them to, who wouldn't be fed up with humans
Those guards were a "Son of a Turtle!"
I wouldn't call it a unhappy ending.
Ok, she got tortured a bit, but she lived without too much damage as she was seen again afterwards in the same place doing the same exact thing.
The real question is "WTF"?
I mean, she tries to hitch a hike, she rides for a bit and then she turns into a fox and runs away. Why? What's the use?
Did she need some human warmth? Or is "hitching a hike" a metaphor for something else that wouldn't be proper for me to mention?
Maybe she just wanted to lead them on? 🤔
This guy is so witty. I'm planning to make a kitsune story, yt lead me here.
Befriend and Love them?
Isn't that the best way to deal with a Kitsune?
Or... have the foxes been lying to me?
Foxes almost always lie to you
1st comment!
Ooh you ARE first
The Red Hot Jalapeno Vixen of Koya River, believe it!
The kyuubi no kitsune looks beautiful
How else would she trick men 🤷♀️
Yay
Yeah!
I imagine Kitsune and Yokai stories to be ways in which people in Japan justified their failures and wrongdoings. Maybe in the year 2900 we might hear a copsune story about Imperial guards trying to catch a black yokai demon who resisted arrest or just looked suspicious.
Love, Thy Name Be Sorrow (1962) is a japanese movie that features kitsune foxes in it, i loved it
As expected from Linfamy
It's great
Theft, killings, uprisings, troubles: that's Khal Drogo and the Dothraki in a nutshell!
Man, i changed my chess nickname to tricky kitsune and got winning streak, but it suddenly changed to losing streak... seems like people found a way to deal with me...
How long of a win streak
3:07 BRILLIANT!
_What should I do during quarantine? _It's an easy question,watch Linfamy folktales and yokai myths
💗
Kyle's a strange one, but this story's pretty neat ^^
I think I recognize Kyle. He was one of Tokutaro's friends from the Tale of the Stubborn Man. Was this the beginning of the Japanese Mythology Cinematic Universe?
Interesting 🤔
What's better than story time with Linfamy? Drunk story time!
That could be fun.
@@Linfamy, I will say it is fun, speaking as someone who tested out that recommendation 🤣😂 so worth the Asian flush.
AWESOME ! Just the best show on youtube :-)
I.. actually heard it ending differently? Like, the guard took the second girl and they torture her to death, and she turns out not to have been a fox at all this time, but a visiting princess from another province who got separated from her entourage in the mist when she went to wash her face in the river. Just as brutal for the guards - worse really, they end up executed in that one.
I like this version! Where did you hear it?
@@Linfamy hey man, not ignoring you here. I know I read it in an old book in the late 90s early 2000s, and I thought it was on _Japanese fairy tails_ published by Senate and edited by Grace James, but it's not there. I'm looking through another book and will let you know.
@@Midorikonokami no rush
I like how you casually joked about the coming apocalypse.
Now you got me wanting an anime of a supernatural uber driver because c'mon kitsunes have places to go! XD
I lost it at the Kyle jokes. 🤣
Yayy! Kitsune Story! ❤️
:D
That poor fox was held down by "the man".
Damn it Kyle
The good thing of this story is no foxes and kitsunes were harmed in the making of this video 😄
I really love kitsune
After watching glitchtale
Now watching this
Made my day again
Yooo I watch a video on the cat island and I really want to go
yeah more linfamy story time gotta love dat sheet
Hey Linfamy, do you know any good Wuxia movies/series, preferably on Netflix? There's a lot of chinese series, but most of the seem to be romance...
I think its a refreshing twist and is more in the realm of satire
Yeah I'm leaning towards satire. Like, who would take the side of the guards?
Congratulations on the sponsor Lin .... Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
💗
2:24 sounded like the f**ks .lol
But love u r narration and stories by the way . Pls keep it up 😆
Kyle: PETA propaganda to protect foxes
Cartman: shut up, Kyle!
(south park music....)
I think I saw that episode.
Linfamy what happens if we beat up the girl & find out shes not a fox?! oops...
I wish there's a Japanese folktale about a Kitsune and Tanuki crossover that would make a good video content
I liked that story but I must say POOR KITSUNE *cries because of kitsune abuse*
lol yeah 😅
geez, that wasnt even the same fox as before. altho im glad that wasnt actually a human
If I had a week's paid vacation that let me go wherever I wanted to, one of those cat islands would be on my list.
Yay!!!! Kitsune!!!
Dis vid was vert nice
Had I've been the fox I would seek revenge and ruin their lives
Honestly, big mood
In all the other stories I have heard people always face some kind of consequences when they mess with yokai/kitsune/etc. So I was waiting for the kitsune to get back at the guards and then it didn’t happen, and the whole story felt kinda stupid. So yeah, it being satire sounds logical.
Otherwise, I don’t know how it can make sense that they had such a serious reaction to what sounded like a pretty harmless prank.
Nice
More Kitsune!
I think this story was just meant to have a dark ending , I respect it on that merit alone.
😎 love the kitsune stories
The moral of the story is , 'Never give up on your goal!!!'.
I don't get it, who was harmed by the prank? Lighten up, imperial guards.
srsly
