I like that with the birth of fire comes the first death. I still should probably get some decent translation of the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki and read it from start to finish instead of random bits here and there.
Or maybe go directly to learning nip. Not sure how much olde japanese they are written in tho.

Amaterasu is a bitch-ass motherfucker. There's a reason you can't spell アマテラス without アマ.
The armed takeover of Toyoashihara-no-Nakatsukuni by the Takamagahara mafia was illegal and unfair. We stand with Ookuninushi here.

This makes me want a japanese game/movie where the Emperor of Japan is an actual god and is basically Dagoth Ur if he were Japanese. ''Good luck on your next incarnation, and i do hope that you don't return as a nanban.''

There's actually another skele youkai called Mekurabe. Both Gashadokuro and him are made up of many human bones. But while former will sneak up and crush you, the latter just initiates a staring contest.

>You'd think more 2hu anons would have some interest in Shinto stuff.
I kinda know a few things but like most of my mythological knowledge it's just a bunch of random trivia here and there. Laziness can get in the way and some anons don't seem to care that much about or dislike anything that gets close to nip myths of Touhou.

Sound ominous but
