I find it funny how most folktales were probably just a wild story that people came up with to cover up something stupid and people just bought it because they believed in magic back then.
My favorite kitsune tale is this: There was a young kitsune playing small tricks on ppl in a bamboo groove like cutting their hair or making them carry heavy weights, something like this, until the village organize themselves to hunt and outsmart this fox, they cornered into a room with paintings of the twelve lunar zodiac and noticed one of the paintings had a tail, so they got the kitsune and killed it. The uncommon part is, that they regretted it, they realized how boring it had become without the kitsune tricks and that it never meant to do real harm to ppl
There's a difference between a simple trick and warping someone's entire perception of reality for an extended period of time. That was just over powered foxy...
@@deadlydingus1138 Pretty sure a shapechanging fox thing is probably able to eat more interesting things than a normal fox can get away with. Things like tofu and red beans. And corndogs. And human livers.
Oh I know this one, it ends with the Fox and a Roman Emperor leading a big war against each other to get the complete right over the man....and an alien joins in mid-half the story

@@Linfamy Hm, I could try to find it out, but my Grandparents are Turkish and they are using it often and it is something that it said for ages I think. My Turkish is not that good, but I will try to google it in Turkish and if I find something out I will tell you
Moral of the story: Don't drink Corona Virus beer. ☝️🏻 And if you kill someone in a gruesome manner, IT'S OK, as long as you did it with good intentions in mind. 🙂😉
"Corona Virus beer" 🤣🤣🤣 Honestly when the virus was first mentioned my thought was " someone at the brewery fcked up" and I 100% believed it was from the actual beer.
3:00 Oh, so the story takes place in Osaka! ;-) Also, I'm relatively certain the words "this will end happily for everyone" have never been uttered in Japanese folklore.
Hey Linfamy! When are you going to continue doing History of Japan? Can't wait for your detailed and humorous explanation of Sengoku and Bakumatsu eras respectively.
There are actually multiple versions of the fox spirit myths in China. The normal single tailed fox spirit and the infamous Nine Tailed Fox spirit. The latter is actually a unique entity who served the creation Goddess Nuwa. The nine tailed fox is featured as one of the main antagonist in the classic Chinese novel, "Fengshen Yanyi" or "Houshin Engi" as it's pronounced in Japanese. In the novel, she possessed the Shang Dynasty's last king's concubine, Daji and used her form to encouraged him to do evil stuff, leading to his downfall. The oldest depiction of the nine tailed fox, however, is in 山海經. In it, the nine tailed fox is not considered a spirit, but an actual animal and an auspicious omen. The regular fox spirit can be good, evil or anywhere in between, it really depends on the storyteller and the version of the story.
Thanks for good contents as always ;） I want more Kitsune stories from you! Don't you talk about Soutan kitsune, who pretend to be a famous tea master? He even hosted tea party instead of real Soutan!
One lesser known kitsune tale I like involved a mischievous fox who liked to scare local villagers. One night, the fox was caught by a merchant who threatened to burn it if it didn't knock it off with the pranks. The fox agreed that if the merchant let it go, it would send a daimyo's procession to reward him with gold and jewelry beyond his wildest dreams. So the merchant let the fox go. Sure enough, he saw a daimyo procession outside his window the next day and rushed over demanding his reward of gold and jewelry. Turns out, it was ACTUALLY a real daimyo passing by who did not appreciate some rando trying to pinch his money and arrested the merchant on the spot. Whoops.
Why didn't he just try looking at the girl's reflection in water? Seems like that should be the first and only choice for detecting if someone is a fox...
Is it just me or in the right front side theres an corona virus beer ;-; lol and how they talk about kitsune tricking other people (thats kinda ilegal man =_=) Hhahahaha you made it so great
Fire! O.o ... uhhh... guess he didn't know just getting a dog to show up or tempting her with a kitsunes favorite food or heck, even getting her a bit tipsy would have been a better way to handle the situation, according to other stories anyway. xp
In the kitsune's defense, (line breaks because spoilers) if Tokutaro's first reaction to suspecting that someone's a kitsune is to try to ⅿurⅾеr them, then I'd say the kitsune let him off lightly.
Another kitsune story. Who doesn’t love foxes?

How a Man was Bewitched and Had His Head Shaved by the Foxes

There is a Turkish saying which goes like "what the Turk (turkish person) knows not even the fox knows"
Cool! Do you know the origin of that saying?

@@Linfamy I haven't heard it myself, but I guess they made it up simply because "Turk" sounds similar to "Tulku"(fox in turkish)
