[@nicodianime]

It's Very kind of the townspeople not indoctrinating us in the good word of yoba lol

[@nikaknack]

Imagine if they had had them go around and knock on our doors 😂😂😂

[@Vampire_skin]

Stardew valley lore is always so interesting, thank you for covering Yoba!☺️

[@nikaknack]

I couldn’t agree more! And my pleasure!

[@TalonSky]

I think the only crop that normally grows for 11 days is the tomato, so perhaps it's a reference to that?

[@nikaknack]

Could be))

Hi . About the Yoba I have alot of speculation on Whois the Yoba is Yoba could be The Grandpa it self, Because The spirit of the grandpa is always guided the Player through the Playtime. like The Gtandpa Shrine candle , Yoba could be a "Mr Qi" for some reason like He is The one who can Make The Qi Beans appears in anywhere around the valley, He knows every player moves, Like in summit ifyou cheated He know, in Skull cavern , and anywhere. everything is Sums when you go to the summit after Perfection The player's Grandpa is revealed to be an acquaintance of Mr. Qi in The Summit cutscene. About the Junimo, I called it a Mystical Creature, Since every Character in SDV is Unique, there is Dwarf,Shadow people, Witch,Goblin(henchman), Bear, Raccoon, Junimo,Mermaid Ect...

[@nikaknack]

[@necordektox879]

Yoba is also largely considered to be a woman - when Emily says "who knows? Maybe 'She' isn't a she at all!"

[@nikaknack]

I don’t know how I missed this, but thank you for letting me know

[@hateable_mess]

[@nikaknack]

[@adonscadlock1704]

I like to think Linus is Yoba and he likes to live in nature that he created

[@hateable_mess]
