    Hey gang! Sorry this one took a while. But I'm glad we're back on schedule! Also, while a lot of sponsors come and go, I legit do love what Bokksu is trying to do with it's traditional themed snack boxes and how crammed full of culture and history it is. If you want to try it for yourself, click here: bit.ly/2y81ov3 and use the discount code GAIJIN10 for a 10% discount. I really do hope to work with them more in the future!

    Well, the first Digimon series, Digimon Adventure, did just recently get a modern reboot. Also, spearmint is a type of mint, and something about the scent and chemicals present in the oil of several kinds of mint has been proven to ward off insects and small rodents. That said, to humans, the scent of mint is actually rather strong, hence why it can quickly cover up bad breath, but mint has also been found to have quite a few health benefits on its own. And there are quite a few different species of mint, but as far as my studies and research have gone, no mint plants were able to get imported to Japan until around the 20th century rolled around. Mint was unknown to the Americas and Japan, as far as can tell it originates from Europe and mainland Asia, had a few different variants of mint plants growing natively. From what I've been able to unearth, initially, there were only about a dozen or so original species of mint but the cultivation and selective breeding of the plants has gotten us a bit more diversity when it comes to that family of plants.
    Now, would some shinobi clans actually have cultivated and harvested mint if it was available to them in their historical eras? Hard to say for sure but I like to think so, mint would fit quite well into their sense of utility but probably be a bit more restrictive when it came to actual dietary requirements, that is to say, it would be an occasional consumable, like maybe once or twice a month, due to just how overpowering the scent the oil can have, mixing that in with a smoke bomb in a large enough dose would not only help obscure a person further because the scent of the oil would be so overpowering that what did manage to get into their noses would likely overpower the sense of smell of everything caught inside the smoke well after it had cleared up, which would make animals with keen senses of smell be far more hesitant to help out because of just how much their own senses are being overpowered.

    • @dracone4370
      @dracone4370 4 роки тому

      Sorry, I was citing a bad source earlier, I did a little more research and found Mint does originate from Europe and mainland Asia, but not likely China or Korea so the likelihood of mint getting introduced to Japan early is still pretty low. That said, everything else I said about mint is still pretty valid

    • @dracone4370
      @dracone4370 4 роки тому

      @Daniel Davies When people talk about mint being a deterrent to insects, spiders, and rodents they're actually talking about mint oil. The two most common types of mint oil are those from spearmint and peppermint, which have their oil used in gums, toothpaste, and candy but spritzing a bit of the oil from either mixed in with water (5 parts water 1 to 2 parts mint oil) can help keep pests out of your home if you spray it all around the edges of rooms and the outside of a structure. Something about the chemicals in mint oil acts as a natural deterrent to insects, spiders, and rodents. Mint oil also has a strong, often overpowering, scent to it. The scent is so strong that what we as humans can spell is often overpowering, it's even been shown to be so strong that dogs and cats will get a little disoriented for a bit by the smell if they're close enough to even a small unopened, undiluted vial of the stuff

    Looking at this new game I just see a combination of the mythical ninja (transformation, "summoning" weapons, and so forth) with the idea of "What would ninja be in modern times". Blending in is incredibly important for a ninja, so being up on modern fashion would be something that they care A LOT about.

    A stick of spearmint will keep away bugs because of the smell of mint - most insects avoid mint because it's toxic to them, to a degree. It's often used in gardens to avoid pests.

    Another good use for gum is that if chewed, its malluable and sticky, so you can use it as a plaster/bandade to cover wounds and stop blood. It would probably infect the wound but since ninjas have an extensive knowledge of medicine, they can treat that.

    The spear mint thing is real. If you plant mint plants and other herbs around your house you'll keep most insects out. Mint plants crushed cayenne pepper and salt is a fairly good way to naturally repel most insects

    Spearmint, and wintermint, gum do both keep insects out of small places. Both of the primary ingredients in Wintergreen and Spearmint gum are aggressive volatile aromatic irritants. Bugs hate them, it works the same way as putting a bay leaf in a drawer to keep ants out of it, but not quite as well. It's better to just use actual mint leaves.

  • @apriljaxon7623

    I agree with the chewing gum helps with focus part. When I was a child I was used in a study of how children learn. During my time there it was discovered that my ability to focus whent up whenever I would chew gum, so they had me chew gum from then on

  • @Whalefire2
    @Whalefire2 4 роки тому

    I'm interested to see you go into more speculation in the future. Perhaps on what uses ninjas could have of modern tools (like gum in this case) or even what a modern day ninja would look like. I've had an idea brewing for a while now (AKA I've made some notes in a notebook) on a sort of secret law enforcement agency in the US that employs tactics of ninjas, with modern equivalents to the 6 tools of the ninja (the name escapes me and I can't seem to find the actual term) to assist organizations like the DEA and FBI. Was thinking of writing a story about it.
    Really interesting video! I always enjoy this series but this one was particularly good.

    Mint and its scent does repel insects. It's why spearmint repels the buggers that track you thru your breath.

    For another example of useful gums, from Wigly, you have Airwave, and it’s different strength variations, which are meant to clear up one’s sinuses. I tend to use Airwave Extreme, a Menthol and Eucalyptus flavored gum that clears them via smell by burning out your sinuses with the smell as you breath in and out while chewing.
