"Once stood a natural merchant. A merchant with a firm resolve, always willing to barter wherever he goes. A merchant who would find any way to become a shogunate.

As unforeseen as the first received letter was, the disappearance of the unknown person had caused his downfall. Once was a sane man, now a yōkai with its mind corrupted by the past."
I think Spamton would be a Tsukumogami, those objects that gain life and turn into evil monsters after being left neglected for years and years. it fits his backstory well
"An ancient scroll tells the story of a unlucky merchant who, after making a pact with a sinister Yokai, achieved fame and fortune, he even became the financial advisor of the imperial palace, but once he was on the top, the yokai collected his part of the deal, taking from him his fame, fortune and his sanity. The merchant now wanders aimlessly in search of someone who could give him back what he truly had lost: his freedom"
Trigger’s Yokai/historical figure database: Ningyō Shōnin The Ningyō Shōnin was a yokai said to take the form of a very short man, wearing a contradictory purple silk Kimono and ratty old straw hat. (The contradiction being purple dye being very expensive, whilst straw hats were typically warn by rice farmers, who were peasants.) if one looked closely they could also see faint green strings extending to the sky. This Yokai was often said to have strange speech patterns, its voice changing between words, often combining multiple words together, attempting to sell those it encountered random junk. The Ningyō Shōnin would often seek the souls of humans, believing it could make itself a successful merchant should it obtain one and cut its strings. One of the many origins for this yokai is the tale of a Merchant whom rose to have several Samurai and Daimyō as customers, even having one of the three great unifiers of Japan, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, as his patron. His success being attributed to his dealings with Yokai, whom passed him letters with mercantile advice. However, his success soon quickly collapsed after he began selling bad goods to the Daimyō. Most tellings attributing a trusted Samurai of Hideyoshi’s death being caused by a sword the merchant sold him breaking. Infamous for his temper that also caused the death of Sen no Rikyu, Hideyoshi had the merchant boiled in oil in retribution. When Hideyoshi’s men searched the merchant’s home to repossess the lavish furnishings, they found the alleged letters from the yokai, containing nothing more than seemingly meaningless scribbles.
@@Shrimp_Alfredo0" A perfect song match. I never thought that 'Big Shot' would look Japanese so far! The image was also cool and I couldn't help laughing😂"

Sorry to switch what you were talking about but what do you use Kanji for? I am able to use Hiragana properly and Katakana to some grade but I can’t read Kanji at all.

I love how you made him wear a purple robe, yet also wearing a farming hat. Purple robe was only worn by those who hold power and fame, yet in stories, those who wore these hats were usually of poor or lower class. The two contradicting elements perfectly fits here
Fun Fact: The reason purple is associated with wealth is because while many dyes could be extracted from plants or other sources one could cultivate, purple dye was only really available from a dozen or so species of certain shellfish (most famously snails in Rome). So getting purple dye was an excruciatingly long and arduous process of harvesting thousands of these shellfish just for a few ounces of dye. A robe dyed completely purple likely cost a small fortune until more advanced methods and synthetic options were available.
A covetous puppet trying to escape it's limitations by stealing a human soul actually sounds a lot like a proper youkai now that I think about it. I could totally see Hyakkimaru or Ushio and Tora fighting this version of him.
Darkners in general seem like tsukumogami to me. They share being based on objects along with developing a soul of sorts. Darkners attitude also seem to parellel tsukumogami in that those who where mistreated will want vengeance; The King of Spades in Chapter 1 being a good example of this.

Quite a distinguished gentleman with a bedazzling blade of steel designed for slashing and cutting. His robe of purple cloth with mixes of a more vibrant shade of purple with wrinkles adds to the unique look. And his hat made from the materials gathered from the plant known as straw and constructed into a pyramid looks quite exquisite as well.
He's a merchant that remains passive until you're 3/4ths into the game then he stops being passive and attacks you, if you beat him you get everything on him plus any kromer you spent. He can be a good Sekiro boss ngl
In Feudal Japan, merchants and salespeople were generally seen as the lowest class, as they were seeen as contributing the least to society. It's quite fitting for someone like Spamton, who is no BIG SHOT when we first meet him.

And reading more and more comments making interpretations of every element, from japanese folklore to the purple clothing to the hat, I don't know how much of all this details were truly planned and thought out by the artist but it is certainly evocative if it causes everyone to get their own interpretation of it.
Hadn't noticed that before, thanks for contributing to the ones of us that don't see all the details (even though the strings are actually green in the original material)
I love the representation of spamton as what seems to be a yōkai. I think the exxagerated proportions fit the idea. Props to the artist, let alone the remix just fucking bangin
i do not believe it is a yokai, but rather it is a 'hannya' mask, a jealous female demon, when these masks or portrayed in red, it is to symbolizes fully giving to evil, to your most primal and basic urges, and completely giving up any semblance or humanity, or civility. here though his mask is a deep shade of gray, which usually symbolizes, that this is before the woman has been scorned, smaller horns, and still human-esque. although this may sound very dark, the word 'hannya' in japanese actually means wisdom, and the masks are considered good luck, used to ward off evil.
@@darthcloakedguy9726 Purple was once one of (if not the) rarest colors for clothing, normally only worn by richer folks, while rice hats were commonly seen among the poor
@@LowHB Ok, now I'm curious about something. Did Medieval Eastern Asia have purple dyes? I know that in Europe, purple dye came from the Murex Snail and only one port had figured that out and monopolised the trade. Did China import purple dye from the same source, or did they have their own supply? Or was it just too expensive to import all that way and they just went without the colour purple in their clothing. Curse my Euro-centric education, I know nothing about Asian trade beyond Silk and Ceramics :/
The problem with spamton's vocals is because they're locked to the song itself. There's no file with only his vocals so most just leave the song alone or make their own vocals.
@@LostKiddo But when said voice lines are covered my intense music, I don’t think they would sound muffled because it’s already covered by loud intense music. Also, the same thing applies with the music still quietly playing, that part will be covered up by the music.
日本の楽器に興味を持ってくれるだけじゃなくてこんな曲まで作ってくれるの最高 As a Japanese, I am very happy and proud that they are not only interested in Japanese instruments, but also in using them to create such highly accomplished music.
Once upon a time, there was an unfortunate merchant living in Japan. He looked like a short old man wearing glasses with purple and yellow glasses and smoking a small kiseru. He often carried a katana with him, on the handle of which the inscription [[FREEDOM]] was engraved. At that time, the merchant suffered constant setbacks. At the market, no one noticed his products at all. Market visitors paid no attention. But on the day when all the merchants came together, the unfortunate merchant said that someday he would become great - that one day he would be [[BIG SHOT]]. Desperate, he began to look for any ways to get his goods noticed, until one day a visitor approached him, who led the merchant to the long-awaited success. Other merchants began to notice that he began to leave much earlier than before. Since then, his products have been noticed more every day. He even engraved another inscription on the handle of the katana. Many traders became jealous of his popularity. Even the Empress herself provided him with a separate room in the palace. Suddenly, the one who helped him in promotion suddenly disappeared and the success began to collapse. His sales began to decline with him. Once again a failure, the merchant was evicted from the palace. When one of his acquaintances checked his room, he found only a note written in a completely incomprehensible language. Abandoned by everyone, he was forced under a bridge next to the empress's palace. After overhearing the conversation of one of the empress's servants, the merchant learned about the existence of the Great Armor in the palace and began to make plans on how to steal them in order to fulfill his dream. Rethought Spamton's lore a little, there may be errors in the text. Thanks to this version of Big Shot, I changed and came up with this story. Thanks to the author of this video !
My suggestion would be to have it so then he carved the feedom kanji into the hilt of his sword after he got evicted, since he got addicted to freedom after being kicked from the mansion in Deltarune. Other than that, this comment is absolutely fantastic!
I have a feeling that if Spamton was part of Japanese folklore, he would be an oni disguised as an old man in need, trying to scam/manipulate people into helping him. His [BIG SHOGUN] form would have him being in a giant suit of Samurai armor he stole from a fallen warrior.
"Some say there was a merchant that was so successful, he managed to get enough money and influence to live in the same places as the shogunate. But then... He started getting letters from an unknown person. They were helpful at first, making him even more successful, but eventually, they ruined him, leaving him with the clothes on his back, and nothing more. But when his colleagues looked at the writing in the letters... There was nothing but garbage scribbles."
@@imokguysivetoldyoutoomanyt2427 truly, your comment about the american healthcare system inspired me to help those in need, such a profound statement!
I am a Japanese high school student🇯🇵. I am studying English but still at beginner's stage. I always listen to BIG SHOT while commuting to school. I'm very glad that the song is arranged in a Japanese style.Thank you very much !
"old folklore speaks of a strange Oni, who visited human settlements, selling increasingly strange wares, until one day a dark corruption spread through the land that caused many spirits to go insane. the old Oni was one of the least lucky, and instead of selling wares, the yo-kai rampaged entire villages in the blink of an eye, though they say if you placed a bucket filled with paper bills in the outskirts of your town, the next time he visits will be a pleasant one." "and it has to be Swedish currency, no other kind appeases him"
I can’t even imagine some Japanese villagers obtaining Swedish currency. Heck, Im imagining a ton just scratching their heads and wondering what the fuck is Swedish
@@vecipheragain Back when Japan had a ban on all foreigners, Sweden was the only exception. We're talking 1500s-1800s, here. That ban was removed when the US rolled up with gunboats and "politely requested" that the ban be abolished.
@@soraos21 given the circumstances, it was a surprisingly polite request. Still absolutely dangerous and rude, but polite by comparison to what could have happened.
You are such an amazing artist in more ways than one. Not only did you do a Japanese version of this song and have it sound awesome but you also did the art! And look at the detail! 10 out of 10 bravo!
God! Y’know, I know the music is supposed to take centre stage here, but MAN… the art is FIRE! The glasses, the sword, the smoke coming out of the mouth, the scarf, the hat… GAH! It’s all so GOOD!!😆
Funny thing is: In most eastern/japanese stories the rice farmers hat is worn by either the poorest or the most powerful who try to hide their powerlevel Spamton is BOTH of them and fits that role perfectly I can imagine him being a Tengu that is the goofiest and most serious/op at the same time
@@Evenvagolor but originally in china the tengu/tian gou were literally that, doge in the sky. I don't understand when Japan found out about it they retconned it as those Pinocchio nose birbs
EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE SALESMAN, NOW COMING AT YOU IN [[Up to FIVE Different Languages!]] IN A ONE-ON-ONE BATTLE, NEO NEVER LOSES! KRIS! YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT [[You are already dead.]] This is a pretty sick remix of BIG SHOT, even when the vocals are less prominent, and the art is also incredibly well done, awesome work overall
I feel like in all of his serious moments he talks in a pretty regular voice but then just immediately goes to a silly voice with the occasional [[INSERT THING HERE]] appearing every now and then
Not unless you imagine to be some sort of malevolent spirit made of the lingering spirits of business owners and employees that resurfaced as This entity that fools those by giving cursed items that harm others.
Not even sure what to say to this. It's left me speechless. The transitions are incredible, and the artwork is as well. Overall, ten out of five stars!

Trigger’s Yokai/historical figure database:
Ningyō Shōnin
The Ningyō Shōnin was a yokai said to take the form of a very short man, wearing a contradictory purple silk Kimono and ratty old straw hat. (The contradiction being purple dye being very expensive, whilst straw hats were typically warn by rice farmers, who were peasants.) if one looked closely they could also see faint green strings extending to the sky. This Yokai was often said to have strange speech patterns, its voice changing between words, often combining multiple words together, attempting to sell those it encountered random junk. The Ningyō Shōnin would often seek the souls of humans, believing it could make itself a successful merchant should it obtain one and cut its strings.
One of the many origins for this yokai is the tale of a Merchant whom rose to have several Samurai and Daimyō as customers, even having one of the three great unifiers of Japan, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, as his patron. His success being attributed to his dealings with Yokai, whom passed him letters with mercantile advice. However, his success soon quickly collapsed after he began selling bad goods to the Daimyō. Most tellings attributing a trusted Samurai of Hideyoshi’s death being caused by a sword the merchant sold him breaking.

When Hideyoshi’s men searched the merchant’s home to repossess the lavish furnishings, they found the alleged letters from the yokai, containing nothing more than seemingly meaningless scribbles.

The contradiction of the purple robe and the rice hat is a unique touch, and I like it.
The robe looks old and tattered too. Like he used to be a [BIG SHOT].
@@darthcloakedguy9726 Purple was once one of (if not the) rarest colors for clothing, normally only worn by richer folks, while rice hats were commonly seen among the poor
@@LowHB He used to be incredibly successful. A rich and famous [[BIG SHOT]] living in the [[Emperor’s Palace]]. But look what he’s been reduced to.
Ooooh true, that's awesone
@@LowHB Ok, now I'm curious about something. Did Medieval Eastern Asia have purple dyes? I know that in Europe, purple dye came from the Murex Snail and only one port had figured that out and monopolised the trade. Did China import purple dye from the same source, or did they have their own supply? Or was it just too expensive to import all that way and they just went without the colour purple in their clothing.
Curse my Euro-centric education, I know nothing about Asian trade beyond Silk and Ceramics :/
you put all the vocals in the bg, even the ones at the world revolving part!!!! that makes me really happy most people dont! this cover is incredible!
👍(it’s at 69)
The problem with spamton's vocals is because they're locked to the song itself. There's no file with only his vocals so most just leave the song alone or make their own vocals.
@@LostKiddo You can isolate the vocals ya know…
@@pillowcaseee then you get either muffled vocals or you still have music with the vocals.
@@LostKiddo But when said voice lines are covered my intense music, I don’t think they would sound muffled because it’s already covered by loud intense music. Also, the same thing applies with the music still quietly playing, that part will be covered up by the music.
Idk why but the hues of purple and gold used make me really satisfied
日本の楽器に興味を持ってくれるだけじゃなくてこんな曲まで作ってくれるの最高
As a Japanese, I am very happy and proud that they are not only interested in Japanese instruments, but also in using them to create such highly accomplished music.
Once upon a time, there was an unfortunate merchant living in Japan. He looked like a short old man wearing glasses with purple and yellow glasses and smoking a small kiseru. He often carried a katana with him, on the handle of which the inscription [[FREEDOM]] was engraved. At that time, the merchant suffered constant setbacks. At the market, no one noticed his products at all. Market visitors paid no attention. But on the day when all the merchants came together, the unfortunate merchant said that someday he would become great - that one day he would be [[BIG SHOT]].
Desperate, he began to look for any ways to get his goods noticed, until one day a visitor approached him, who led the merchant to the long-awaited success. Other merchants began to notice that he began to leave much earlier than before. Since then, his products have been noticed more every day. He even engraved another inscription on the handle of the katana. Many traders became jealous of his popularity. Even the Empress herself provided him with a separate room in the palace.
Suddenly, the one who helped him in promotion suddenly disappeared and the success began to collapse. His sales began to decline with him. Once again a failure, the merchant was evicted from the palace. When one of his acquaintances checked his room, he found only a note written in a completely incomprehensible language. Abandoned by everyone, he was forced under a bridge next to the empress's palace.
After overhearing the conversation of one of the empress's servants, the merchant learned about the existence of the Great Armor in the palace and began to make plans on how to steal them in order to fulfill his dream.
Rethought Spamton's lore a little, there may be errors in the text.
Thanks to this version of Big Shot, I changed and came up with this story. Thanks to the author of this video !
My suggestion would be to have it so then he carved the feedom kanji into the hilt of his sword after he got evicted, since he got addicted to freedom after being kicked from the mansion in Deltarune. Other than that, this comment is absolutely fantastic!
@@baconman1778 I think he always wanted freedom. He became a salesman because of it.
@@baconman1778 maybe freedom can be opium (the stuff that the english sold)
I like your pfp
@@Bruh-fy1jk i don't think you can trust him on that. He's a darkner, they kinda can't choose a profession and all that. He was always a salesman
I have a feeling that if Spamton was part of Japanese folklore, he would be an oni disguised as an old man in need, trying to scam/manipulate people into helping him.
His [BIG SHOGUN] form would have him being in a giant suit of Samurai armor he stole from a fallen warrior.
Maybe it would also include him stealing the souls of the people he deals with. After all, he needs that [HeartShapedObject] for his [freedom]
And/or maybe he could be a Tsukumogami since he’s a puppet
@@hackr6751 Since onis have a taste for human flesh he might also take the bodies of those he’s stolen their souls from to eat them
He would be better fitting as a yokai
I think it would be cool if he moved like a bunraku puppet
way too much effort was put into this and i love it
日本人ですがこれはとてもかっこよく最高です！
感謝
"Some say there was a merchant that was so successful, he managed to get enough money and influence to live in the same places as the shogunate. But then... He started getting letters from an unknown person. They were helpful at first, making him even more successful, but eventually, they ruined him, leaving him with the clothes on his back, and nothing more. But when his colleagues looked at the writing in the letters...
There was nothing but garbage scribbles."
"...or were they?"

"old folklore speaks of a strange Oni, who visited human settlements, selling increasingly strange wares, until one day a dark corruption spread through the land that caused many spirits to go insane. the old Oni was one of the least lucky, and instead of selling wares, the yo-kai rampaged entire villages in the blink of an eye, though they say if you placed a bucket filled with paper bills in the outskirts of your town, the next time he visits will be a pleasant one."

@@vecipheragain Back when Japan had a ban on all foreigners, Sweden was the only exception. We're talking 1500s-1800s, here. That ban was removed when the US rolled up with gunboats and "politely requested" that the ban be abolished.

My God dude. This is amazing! An extended version maybe?
God! Y’know, I know the music is supposed to take centre stage here, but MAN… the art is FIRE! The glasses, the sword, the smoke coming out of the mouth, the scarf, the hat… GAH! It’s all so GOOD!!😆
goes surprisingly well not gonna lie
oh also "WANT THIS AMAZING JAPANESE KATANA? ITS ONLY 50,359￥, MADE OUT OF REAL [ *Katana Material* ]"

I'm pretty sure 50k ¥ is like, 100 dollars. Pretty good price for something made from genuine katana material です.
can I use my p5 yen
Funny thing is: In most eastern/japanese stories the rice farmers hat is worn by either the poorest or the most powerful who try to hide their powerlevel
Spamton is BOTH of them and fits that role perfectly
I can imagine him being a Tengu that is the goofiest and most serious/op at the same time
most probably know this already but I love how sans also had a rice farmer hat in the japanlovania thumbnail (both versions iirc)
wait tengu's are those bird things right?
@@kaisuitboireel yes
@@Evenvagolor but originally in china the tengu/tian gou were literally that, doge in the sky. I don't understand when Japan found out about it they retconned it as those Pinocchio nose birbs
I am the only one who thinks making Spamton a portuguese trader is way more fitting than any japanese steorotype?
never knew i needed this in my life
this feels like it needs one of those surprisingly good fan games surrounding it’s concept

This spamton legit looks like an actual, ancient drawing of a yokai
スピード感あっていいね
I feel like in all of his serious moments he talks in a pretty regular voice but then just immediately goes to a silly voice with the occasional [[INSERT THING HERE]] appearing every now and then
Hi. I'm Japanese.
The letter "自由" on the right side means "freedom".
"自" means "My self" or "I'm", "由" means "follow".
"Follow myself" → "freedom"
In other words, it could also mean "I am free."
true
Thanks for explaining!
It fits really well, thank you for the explanation.
It also shares the chinese version of freedom! (zì yóu 自由)
The idea of spamton being the antagonist of a japanese folktale/legend is just hilarious to me.
Not unless you imagine to be some sort of malevolent spirit made of the lingering spirits of business owners and employees that resurfaced as This entity that fools those by giving cursed items that harm others.
