So the leg stomp by Akuma is based on mythology after all.

This is the most retarded request I've ever seen. Sure, let me just summarize a bunch of absolutely random mythological bullshit for you.

Actually I'm not sure if it's a historical piece of art or a some Street Fighter fan art made to look like a historical piece of art.

Well shit son, I know it isn't moeblob anime bullshit, but it still merits discussion on a boar called 'Japan/General'. I think there's a clause in the rules stating that you can have non-touhou threads on /jp/

Japan has two main religions, right? Buddhism and the one which most shrines in anime and visual novels belong to. Sorry, no idea about further details.

I have no problem with a discussion on Japanese mythology, but "quickly explain it to me" is a really weird and almost insulting way to start it.

You're too serious kid, lighten up. It's a joke. Of course there's no possible way to quickly explain such a broad topic, that's why it's funny. I think it's called a logical fallacy.

Oh you.
Learn some 4chan history before asking stupid questions.

Anything weird gets told around and becomes a myth, like you know, all other folklore. If you have something specific, do ask, otherwise it's just the same old.
