Fun fact: Yamata no Orochi was one of the inspirations for King Ghidorah. Also, Toho made several movies featuring Orochi, perhaps the most famous being Yamato Takeru/Orochi, the Eight-Headed Dragon. And Orochi himself is also one of the Titans awakened by King Ghidorah in Godzilla: King of the Monsters (he was formerly contained in Mount Fuji). And in the IDW comic Godzilla: Rage Across Time, he fought against Godzilla in Feudal Japan.
King Ghidorah is the unholy hybrid of Orochi, Hydra, a great old one, and the 7 headed Dragon of revelation. When he isn’t the puppet of alien race of the week.
Before Ghidorah, Toho planned to have Yamata no Orochi be Godzilla's arch-enemy but one of the producers find it too complicated to control all eight heads via piano wires and difficult for the suit actor so they went with three heads instead.
@@lorddevilfish5868 What they could do is have the suit actor's two arms control the two of the heads while the rest of the heads are controlled via animatronics.
They adapted this myth in Naruto almost play by play. Itachi defeated Orochimaru (who took the form of an eight-headed serpent armed with the Kusanagi sword that he puked from inside him) by using the Susanoo jutsu, which was armed with a sword taken from the inside of a sake bottle. I had no idea it had been inspired by mythology, it was nice to find out.
I love these folklore stories. They are like a window to our ancestors. I can't help but wonder what awesome stories have been lost to time and or the idiocy of certain groups who would call stories like these blasphemy. When conquering people of other cultures through force or religion rule number one in the subjugation of said people is to strip their cultural identity.
Yamata No Orochi is one of my favorite Japanese monsters. The Japanese satan and counterpart of the hydra from Greek mythology. Popular in the anime film in 1963, Wanpaku Ouji No Orochi (The Little Prince and the Eight Headed Dragon).
I CANT BELIEVE I WAS LATE FOR THIS!!!! Thank you for covering this! I’m wondering, would you ever consider covering the Izanami, Izanagi, and all of direct children?
So basically Susunoo used the same strategy as Peter Griffin to trap James Woods. "ooh a piece of candy" but its more like "ooh a barrel of alcohol" huh.
Hi I'm a big fan of your work and everything is great I just wanted to point out a small detail though and that part was when you mentioned about Susanoo's sister around 3:25 it's not "Amatesaro" but rather "Amaterasu". That's it just a minor thing for your future videos just in case you tackle another topic based on japanese folklore.
I've been playing the warriors orochi games and I know now that the serpent king orochi from the first game and the hydra from the third game are somewhat connected.
The Japanese have a superstition about the number 8 (hachi) as it is double that of 4 (shi) which they have a superstition about as the kanji is similar in appearance to their kanji for death.
So the shot of Orochi at 2:34 is based on the Khalni Hydra from MtG card, but does anyone know the one at 4:48? Not even a call out or anything, just it seems oddly familiar as well but can't put my finger on it.
Eight is the number of new beginnings according to biblical numerology, hmm...🤔 And where there be dragons, there lies my passionately ignited imagination, as well! Here lately, I've got dragons on my mind, constantly! I'd never heard of this fascinating beast before, so I thank you for this highly educational video, good Sir! Rock on & peace out everyone 😎💜🌍☮️🌈🌠
Yeah, I'd warn _against_ conflating the symbolism of such radically different cultures/religions/worldviews. Maybe if the religious frameworks were both derived from the same Indo-European roots, but that clearly does not apply here.
@UC47wdReiTPLz-8Bko3wd5XA Well, if it's dragons you're looking for, I'd suggest looking into K'awil, the Mayan god of fire, lightning, axes, blood, and kingship. Among a plethora of reptilian aspects, he has a large serpent for a leg, and frequently overlaps with Och Can, the visionary bearded serpent _uay._ Let's see, what other Mesoamerican dragons are there?... There's Zipacna, a volcanic giant/earth caiman from K'iche Maya mythology; Tlaltecuhtli/Cipactli the earth caiman from Aztec mythology; the Yahui, a caiman/turtle hybrid associated with lightning from Mixtec mythology; and a poorly understood sea monster from Olmec and Mayan mythology that was half shark, half caiman with a single large shark tooth on its upper jaw (apparently based on the discovery of fossil _Megalodon_ teeth). Also Amaru, the double-headed rainbow serpents found in Andean art and folklore.
@@Xbalanque84 Wow! Apparently, you know a bit about dragons, & those you mentioned to me, I don't think I've heard of before. And that's saying something, trust me, lol! I'm taking notes on your comment, there & I definitely appreciate the rocking Intel, my friend! Yay-ahh!😎🌍🌈

James 1:22-25 King James Version 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

First tiamat, then the hydra, and now orochi...I love world culture! And I love dragons!!👏😍
Please do more videos on dragons if you can 🙏😊
U should read about Chinese dragons too, thy have dragons tht eats dragons, it's wicked asf

The Clover/Capcom game "Okami" was a fun version of this legend. Susano was a drunk bum and Amaterasu was a wolf deity. It was such a good game.
I love that game so much! So beautiful and rich in story
@@ShepherdsCreek As did I. Both original and the HD remake. I didn't get to try the DS version but that's alright.
Yesss, more Dragons and Serpents. I am hyped for this series, hopefully we will see more and more. Thank you mate, great video as always.
I love your voice ❤ and your channel of course ❤
I sssee what you did there.
I love your shows. I started watching you when you first came out. I appreciate your hard work and devotion. Thank you.
I particularly liked your ending analyzing symbolic meanings
Another great chaos-dragon! Let's hope you'll do Illuyanka, the chaos-dragon that battles the storm god Teshub in Hittite and Hurrian mythology!
This is one of my favourite legends…ever, so glad you covered it :)

We need more anime where your Yamata no Orochi is the central MacGuffin
One piece, wano arc , orochi has a devil fruit of yamata no orochi
Which is funny because this is like the leviathan. The leviathan is also the dragon or "sepent" in the book of revelation.
The ole serpent in which people will worship. Seeing a patern in the comments? *wink*

Here, cause sukuna said so
Loved the video my guy. And the fact that I know all these names from Naruto is outrageous lol
Dragons are amazing and they are as majestic as Gojira himself
Zeus didn’t fight the hydra, his son Heracles did.
And Zeus fought the dragon’s father.
yes Shogun Orochi from One Piece's devil fruit
Great video and a fascinating tale!⚔🐉👺👹🗾🏯⛩🇯🇵

I was playing Dragon Quest 3 when I first saw the name, Orochi.
The second time was King of Fighters.
Love it thanks bro 😎
make for Hindu god HANUMAN OR SOME CELTIC GODS....
Great video 💛🌟✨👑✨🌟💛
I just realized this is sorta like gvk when he got short circuited by alcohol
I've been playing the warriors orochi games and I know now that the serpent king orochi from the first game and the hydra from the third game are somewhat connected.
3:24
The way you say "Amatesaru" really gives a strong Majahapit energy 😂
It's Amaterasu.
❤ all your video's mate 👍.
Hydra vs Orochi I wanna know who would win
Lol😂
The Yamato no Orochi would probably win based on size alone.
Iori
Really so interesting my dear Legends of History 👍💞😊‼
I love this so much
God bless you all🕊🙏❤😁❣
I love this series ❤
Do a video on Och Can, the bearded serpent _uay_ in Mayan art. Better yet, do K'awil.
Going from your mention of St.George in the end could you make video about him and other well known saints?
interesting new series
The serpent of death.I also never know about it i can't even pronounce it 🤣
Thre is a different interpretation of this story in The King of Fighters Orochi Saga prologue
The question I want to ask is... Does/did Yamata no Orochi actually have legs? Orochi ascended from the sea, right?
One piece 💪
The Japanese have a superstition about the number 8 (hachi) as it is double that of 4 (shi) which they have a superstition about as the kanji is similar in appearance to their kanji for death.

My buddy Iori told me all about this guy

He turned her into a comb and put her in his hair.. :3
I think it's pronounced su-SA-no in Japanese (or Susano O = King Susano)
This story predated The King of Fighters Franchise by SNK.
Maybe my internet connection is slow because my internet is Saturn instead of Earth....Gee i wonder.....
There are so many stories wherein an evil serpent or dragon is defeated by a muscled hero
