LORE - OKAMI Lore in a Minute!

[@Yourfacebich]

Actually, Shiranui was the name the village gave Amaterasu because they thought she was a curse. She is still Amaterasu even at her full power.

[@chloemurphy3670]

410,757,864,530 DEAD COPS really? Thats cool

[@LadyLeomon]

410,757,864,530 DEAD COPS but Shiranui is *male* and Amaterasu is *female* and Shiranui even calls Chibiterasu “my grandson” when explaining to Ishaku how he knew Chibi in Okamiden 🤔🤔🤔

[@michaelchi1336]

Lady Leomon because okamiden was made by falcon not clover studios they messed up the history of okami

[@karenb5969]

Chibirasu is not really technically canon as it was not made by clover studios. It also severely messed with the timeline pretty badly. I love the game but I don't fully count it as a sequel.

[@Nachtara-nr1pv]

@@LadyLeomon The Villagers just gave Amaterasu the Name Shiranui and over the years the people just thought she would be a Male I guess...:D

This game is a MASTERPIECE !!

[@CyonisCyberFox]

It's a work of art, and I personally compare it to the First Dark Souls and Bioshock in that regard

[@WonkOfWonkyness]

Always was

[@ZephWraen]

I've played through the game so I already know this. Yes, the two wolves are separate incarnations of the same God, but they were both named Amaterasu. Shiranui was a NICKNAME given by the village to the first wolf, who died. Yes, the village mistook future Ammy for past Amaterasu and called that wolf Shiranui as well. It doesn't change the fact that the wolf was always Amataerasu. I've never played Okamiden, so I can't speak on anything in that game, I'm going by the first Okami in-game lore.

[@comediannamestaken]

okamiden’s mc is amaterasu’s son the name given to him/her is chibiterasu

[@lghtmn6000]

*CORRECTIONS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS.* *PARENTAL GUIDANCE IS ADVISED.* *Shiranui* is the wolf that helped Nagi kill Orochi *Isshaku* is the mite-sized companion of Shiranui *Nagi* is the legendary warrior that killed Orochi *Nami* is the damsel in distress *Orochi* is an evil 8-headed snake demon that represents the 8 elements *Amateratsu* is Shiranui's reborn counterpart *Issun* is Amateratsu's companion and Isshaku's grandson, and still mite-sized *Susano* is the descendant of Nagi and is rather a coward of many words and would rather drink and sleep than fight demons *Kushi* is a sake brewer that later on gets chosen as a sacrifice to Orochi *Orochi* is one of the main protagonists and is the same dick he was 100 years ago *First Arc:* Susano, the descendant of Nagi, is tired of all the rumors about him. In his rage, he pulls out the sword Tsukyomi, the sword that sealed away Orochi. Orochi then rose up and granted Susano dark powers beyond all belief if he completely broke the seal binding Orochi. Susano, scared shitless, runs away as Orochi spits darkness all over the land of Nippon. Sakuya, the Guardian Tree Sprite of Kamiki Village, summons Shiranui from his 100-year sleep, reborn into Amaterasu. Issun then appears out of Sakuya's clothing to help Amaterasu along her way to cleanse Nippon of the darkness. Amaterasu the Sun God, along with Issun the Wandering Artist, finds the first 9 Brush Gods and constantly runs into Susano that just so happens to be following the same path as her. With quick-time events using the Celestial Brush, Susano makes his quest to kill Crimson Helm, a miniboss. Waka, the prophet that traveled to the Celestial Plain, also appears before Amaterasu many multiple times to give her prophecies that will help her along the journey. When Amaterasu finally enters the Moon Cave (after many adventures), Susano sneaks in after Amaterasu, ready to finish what he started. When Amaterasu successfully infiltrates the Moon Cave and bypasses the many demons, she is finally face to face with Orochi. Just when they start the fight, Susano appears to not run away from Orochi, but to actually kill him and save Kushi, the sacrifice and soon to be Orochi's dinner. In the end of the battle, history repeats itself again from 100 years ago; *"The warrior and the wolf get Orochi intoxicated with the 8 Purification Sake. As the demon is limp from drinking too much, the sacred wolf howls upon the skies and the warrior thrusts his sword skyward as the moon shines upon the sacred sword. The warrior then uses his newly powered sword to finish off Orochi."* Orochi has been finally defeated as Susano delivers the final blow straight down the last Orochi head's neck. Susano marries Kushi, Nippon is saved, and all is well. *_...OR IS IT?_* Have fun. (insert ending here)

[@DemonKnight94]

Yeah loved that twist :)

[@chryscilla]

Technically though, it's correct to call the wolf that appeared 100 years ago "Amaterasu". The villagers just didnt know that was its name and gave it the name "Shiranui". I think the game just referred to Past!Amaterasu as Shiranui because it was the name that the wolf was remembered by and also to avoid any confusion. But Shiranui is still technically Amaterasu.

[@hemangchauhan2864]

+LGLabyrinth006K *SPOILERS* When this part was complete, I was like, man! what a great journey. Bit short, but wow! Then they drop the second arc *HOLY IZANAMI IZANAGI OF THE HEAVENS!!* and a whole new world (literally) was there before my eyes Then I finished that and I was like, (phew) Japan is finally Saved *NOPE* Then the third arc I was like, Japan, whose cow did you beat that so many huge ass monsters are now roaming here???!! Then!!! After the boss, I was like, *this game has more content than all CODs combined* *NOPEty DOPEty* THE FINAL ARC MOFO!!!! Though I short one, it was a nice reflection on all the three small games (Yes, they were really that long). And then they rode away to heavens, the end. *It was.. a good day*

[@ivypeters4797]

When you think about it (Iza)Nagi isn't a coward but he is pretty overestimated (as shown in parts through the spirit gate) like instead of landing on his feet when he saw (Yamata no) Orochi, he tripped and fell.

[@SetTheFallen]

Shiranui was the name the villagers gave Ametarasu, the godess of sun, because they did not know who she was. there is no "reborn shiranui", it is "reborn ametarasu".

[@isaacargesmith8217]

It's funny how much people in the comment sections don't know about the rich mythology behind this game and instead think it's Naruto references, which it's not. At all. Also I have one more thing to say...FUCKING BUY THIS GAME IF YOU LIKE ZELDA OR MYTHOLOGY!

[@karenb5969]

It's all the fanboys claiming it's Naruto ref when it's all original japanae mythology. Use google wisely kids and actually do some research. Also this game came out before Naruto...

[@FukurouYGR]

@@karenb5969 Naruto came out in 1997 so I don't what are you talking about, but I agree. The way Okami used japanese mythology to tell it's story was AMAZING!

[@rosewhip889]

I first got this game for the Nintendo Wii and then I bought the PS4 version. The PS4 version is SO MUCH EASIER to do the brush strokes, but it is still an awesome game, no matter the platform.

[@InsanityMuncher]

They made a mistake here. In the beginning of the game, when the moon is summoned and the wolf is injured, that is actually Shiranui, not Amaterasu. Shiranui is Amaterasu's past life.

[@amaaalthea]

Amaterasu IS Shiranui. Her real name is Amaterasu, but the people of the time named her 'Shiranui' because they didn't know what to call her.

[@amaaalthea]

Whoops. I meant to reply to the original comment. Damn this youtube layout.

[@InsanityMuncher]

*Explodes*

[@TheShadowflare1]

yeah but the one that we play as is just a reincarnation. Reincarnation changes a lot.

[@Leet-iz2fz]

Shadowflare Ishaku, Shiranui's former companion, mistakes you for Shiranui while still calling you "Ammy." Shiranui is just a name used to differentiate the incarnations.

[@cyndishubert6758]

Actually i think shiranui is just what every one called her/him (lol) but infact it was still Amaterasu. The Amaterasu that we actually play is the reincarnation of the past amaterasu.

[@spiralhaze2070]

Yeah its the name the people gave her, since she cant communicate by herself. (Spoiler) That is probably one of the reasons, why the prayers in the end are so powerful since the people now know who she really is as well as her real name.

[@Wyta_TidalHound]

it's not amaterasu in the begin, it's SIRANUI!

[@Weldedhodag]

Amaterasu is a reincarnation of Shiranui. They're the same wolf, just gender swapped

[@SetTheFallen]

Sally Butter Pants you obviously missed a vital thing. Shiranui was what the villagers called the white wolf, her real name was Amaterasu. Issun and all of the spirit world know this, in the beginning when Sakuya awakens Amaterasu she never refer to her ever as "shiranui", but the goddess Amaterasu who saved the village once. Shiranui = what the people who did not know who she was called her. If you played the game you would know it was the same wolf. :/

[@Weldedhodag]

I feel like this comment wasn't directed towards me

[@SetTheFallen]

No gender swaping, it was a female from the start.

[@kmeanxneth]

1. Shiranui 2. Amaterasu (3. Chibiterasu in ds)

[@Evnyofdeath]

In Shinto (the religion most Japanese mythology comes from and what Okami is based on) The gods are shown to be able to self generate, and even spontaneously generate from the bodies of other gods (That is actually how Amaterasu is born, from the body of Izanagi as he washes himself of the evils of the underworld). It doesn't take a leap of logic to assume Chibi self generated from Amaterasu.

[@namelesswolf2625]

Amaterasu is a female and so was "shiranui" . After the battle with the twin demons oki says that amaterasu and shiranui smell the same. They wouldn't smell alike old they were opposite sexes, despite being the same person. Okamiden pisses me off, honestly. What were they thinking when they made that atrocity?

[@amvfanboy]

everything after 0:32 is explained in-game. P.S. the wolf is named Okami Shiranui. Okami Amaterasu is Shiranui's reincarnation and the godly embodiment of the Sunrise brush technique.

[@borbborbb]

its shiranui THEN when the village called again then its amaterasu

[@Vieno_m]

Same two things. They aren't different.

[@OsnosisBones]

yeah, as the celestials point out even then she was ameterasu-the villagers just called her shiranui cuz they were unaware she was the sun goddess. the big reason she's always called shiranui is so the names dont become confusing with two characters named ameterasu.

[@LokiToxtrocity]

Nakumare Also let's not forget to the villagers Amaterasu and Shiranui looked like normal white wolves. Only a few characters could see Amaterasu's godly form.

[@coffintears5821]

@@OsnosisBones only the sprites poncles, and celestials know her as the sun godess amaterasu while the villagers thought she was just a random white wolf and decided to call her shiranu since they didn't know who she was. they thought she was a familiar of orochi but even when she came back to life the villagers thought she was a wolf that looked like shiranu aka the old amaterasu.

[@Pupmon1]

'The white wolf was dubbed Shiranui' (Paraphrasing from game). Shiranui from the legend and Amaterasu are one in the same. When Shiranui died, his-yes, Shiranui is considered male-his brush power was lost and his spirit was sealed inside his weapon. Amaterasu was reborn from the statue the villagers made. BTW: For those who keep commenting, this is not based off of Naruto! Naruto and Okami reference the same myth. Just throwing that out there.

[@1nerdyguy]

Wasn't the original Amaterasu the one with Nagi named shiranui and then shiranui was reborn 100 years later as Amaterasu

[@DoctorTex]

Phosaton Empire Shiranui and Amaterasu are the same wolf. Her real name was Amaterasu, but the people of the town call him (she was a boy back then) Shiranui. Then he died, 100 years later, reincarnated into Ammy, and was released to slay demons once more.

Its not that hard to understand once you get a good grasp of the lore you just need to study it more to fully understand the story.

In the game you control Amaterasu as a wolf, because that is the form she is incarnated in at the beginning of the game history (when she descends as Shiranui) and later resurrected as at the beginning of the actual game.

My biggest problem with Okami is Orochi. He's setup as this super badass, and apparently he is in the lore. But you fight him like 1/4th of the way through the game fairly easily, then he pops up the 3 mored times. Each time he's even more easy, until by the last encounter I was laughing at how pathetic he was.

[@coffintears5821]

I thought if i defeated orochi that would be the end of the game but boy was i surprised when i learned that was just the first half of the story

Of course, IT'S A LORE OF THE WHOLE GAME, every video is like that.

[@Concerned_Custodian]

"Have fun *kids!*" If you're a kid this game might uhh, show you things you've never seen

[@Evnyofdeath]

Once more, in Shinto it is possible for a god to self generate and still be the child of another god (due to self generating from the god). So yes, Chibi is Ammy's son, however he self generated from her.

[@hawkxlr]

As I recall, Titans attempted to kill him by eating him, which failed partially. He was "reborn" when his eaten parts grew back because of Zeus.

[@alyarin9000]

It is also physically impossible for Orohime to transform at the time she did, and equally impossible for her to transform while the ship in the past was sailing. Orochi's return created the cursed zones, and Orochi's death caused the Sea Serpent to become mad. Therefore, (1) Orohime cannot be in possesson of the Draconian orb, and thus cannot transform (2) It should be impossible to be on the ship without having a cursed zone everywhere

[@alyarin9000]

I know about Chuggaa :P Anyway... Amaterasu is 'Shiranui' 's 'resurrection', they are pretty much the same thing... Think about it, it was Amaterasu on the celestial plane, and then after the celestial plane got destroyed, Amaterasu went to Nippon with Waka, and stalked Kamiki for a long time. Can't remember the exact quote, but i'm sure that saying the villagers dubbed her that was correct. If I am correct this is a blow to Okamiden's lore, calling Shiranui 'he' 'ancestor' etc.

[@Red1Grave2]

Amaterasu is the Shinto/Japanese mythological god of the Sun, Tsukuyomi is the Shinto/Japanese mythological god of the Moon. Okami, being a game that's based off of the Japanese mythology, obviously includes these deities; Naruto only (pretty much) used the names.

[@ShinyGoldBacon]

Actually, this sounds pretty much accurate to Okami. I've played it about ten times through. One of my favorite games...

[@irlokirawrz]

He also called Amateratsu Sun God but really a Goddess as he also says "Her Celestial Brush Power"

[@Zeno11Salazar]

To clear up your confusion, Shiranui and Amaterasu are basically the same person. But Amaterasu being Shiranui's second life. The humans called Amaterasu Shiranui, but after his (or her's) death some found out that he/she was Amaterasu. In Okamiden, Mr. Grapefruit refereed Shiranui as Amaterasu after his death. And I say this, Shiranui and Amaterasu are pretty much the same but different lives. While Chibi-Terasu was indeed born from Ameterasu, not the same being as her.

[@nielsisback]

Shiranui was the name given to the wolf by the people in the village. The people of ponc'tan are often considered celestial believers. Also, Nippon means Japan

[@HeavensDarknessGuild]

Crendor is sarcastic, he's even voiced, and he tries not to inflect as much. Did you wonder if maybe that was intentional?

[@zeldman95]

Shirinui is Amaterasu. Shirinui is the name the villagers gave to Amaterasu, thinking that Amaterasu was one of Orochi's minions.

[@FairFrozen55]

It's based on, not 1:1 faithful. I remember reading something about Susano being Ammy's "Brother", and the divine instruments used in the games are names of ancient treasure passed down from generation to generation, never really shown to anyone other than some very high ranking priestess and the Emperor, who has to see them as a rite of becoming the Emperor. They've been secretively kept since WWII, when US won and the Emperor was scared he'd lose his ancient legendary relics.

[@TheDestroyer229]

I think people are misunderstanding the difference between Amaterasu and Shiranui. Ammy and Shiranui are the same being. Shiranui was the name given to Ammy by the people of Kamiki Village. Amaterasu is reborn through the Divine Instrument; so while it is a different body, it is the same goddess. Amaterasu is a reincarnation. Reincarnation means being reborn in a different body yet having the same spirit. Therefore it is possible to have both Shiranui and Ammy, yet both are the same deity/kami.

[@MCCanaryVideos]

Ammy's memories and power were lost after resting for so long. That is why shirnaui and ammy are the same, and not two different gods. -end translation-

[@hawkxlr]

Greek gods can be hurt, but not killed. Even if so, they can only be killed at infancy (which dionysus was at the time). He was never killed, just severely injured, and due to his infant stage; needed Zeus' help to heal.

[@JuanMunzerAsakura]

Orochimaru, Tsunade and Jiraiya are all based upon characters from an old adventure novel/legend. the name orochimaru comes from the symbol for Orochi, and the symbol for -Maru, which means Boy or Kid. in that sense Orochimaru's name means 'kid of orochi'

[@generalen94]

Shiranui is what the people of Kamiki village called Ammaterasu according to the lore, how ever I do believe that usually just refer Ammy in the past as Shiranui to keep it more simple

[@Axer022]

Amaterasu IS Shiranui. Like it was stated countless times by people who actually pay attention to the lore, Shiranui is just a nickname. 2 moment that prove it I can get off the top of my head: 1. Mr. Fruit acknowledges that Shiranui was Amaterasu in Okamiden: /watch?v=TwNgymdSRCc&t=170 2. Ishaku, Shiranui's partner, was also calling him/her "Ammy" (as he recognizes his old partner when you first talk to him in Ponc'tan in Okami) /watch?v=s_xPWlnYgQ4&t=834

[@MCCanaryVideos]

Ammy is not the daughter of Shiranui! Shiranui was the name the people used to use for Ammy before Orchi was first slain. The thought that shiranui was a helper/regular of Orochi, but after saving them and sacrificing herself, the town felt bad and made a shrine in her honor, laying her to rest. But, 100 years passed and after the actions of Susano, darkness returned and the god of nature was reincarnated.

[@AlembicOverflow]

I couldn't actually tell it was crendor till he said have fun kids

[@Kroraptor]

People from Kamiki village gave the name of Shiranui to the wolf, the wolf is an incarnation of Amaterasu.

[@nloubriel2336]

[@JiberJuber]

I shall corretct this lore. 1. Amatarasu (forgive me spelling) was Shirinui Ammy's Dad technically 2. Nagi did'nt rage about orochi that was Susano 3. Shirinui's statue is Ammy, not him.

[@shuckeye]

Now that that is done, it is time for the Okamiden Lore!

[@xMrCh33s3x]

In the game Amaterasu went back in time to defeat Orochi. While in the past the people mistaken her for Shiranui. After Orochi's defeat Shiranui reappeared to save Nagi. Shiranui then traveled into the future to aid Amaterasu in the battle with Lechnu and Nechu. To me it almost makes it obvious that they are different beings. I don't care if Capcom created Okamiden, I'm going by that canon. I guess there can be two canons, so lets leave it to the fans to decide what to believe.

[@fafdsfr]

I saw Okami posted all the time. If we keep posting it, it'll happen eventually.

Also, there is an opening cutscene at the begining of Okami, that along with some certain other scenes, explains the lore very well.

[@Evnyofdeath]

Chibi can still be Amaterasu's child if he self generated form her. Hell, Amaterasu and Susanoo (the gods) were the children of Izanagi, despite self generating from him.

[@Soul.Reject]

In about 99% of places -- Why did the Draconians need the orb to transform their queen into a sea serpent? -- Why is Shiranui apparently male? As well as a completely broken part in Okamiden, in one particular area in the time-travel segment... I thought hard, and came up with a contradiction which makes that entire segment impossible. Forgot it, though... Most fanfics of Okami likely stick more to the lore than it's own sequel.

As you don't seem to be replying to anyone, I'll inform you. Okami (2006) and Naruto (1999) sample much of their lore from Shinto (elements date back over 2000 years ago), much like Dragon Ball (1984) samples some lore from Journey to the West (1592). Hearing familiar terms doesn't mean that one is copying/borrowing/paying homage to something created recently. God of War (2005) samples from the same material that Disney's Hercules (1997) did. Hope you don't think Shinigami is exclusive.

and it wasn't Amaterasu, it was Shiranui, Amaterasu is Shiranui's descendant, inheriting the celestial brush powers like a family heirloom. Evil demons are taking over the land of Nippon, awaking Amaterasu from her slumber inside the statue of Shiranui. Almost all the residents of Nippon have stopped believing in the gods weakening them to the point that average mortals cannot see their godly markings and cannot recognize them. feel free to add more to this if you have beaten the game like me.

acually, Shiranui is like the 6th incarnation of Amatarsu or something like that, while Ammy from the game would be the 7th, and chibi was then a direct decendant instead of a reincarnation. So while Shiranui is not directly a grandparent to chibi, he still kinda is.

Nono, it was Shiranui who fought alongside Nagi. Ami fought with Susano and then Chibiterasu with... His name escapes me, but it was Susano's adopted son.
