I think so. Old Yokai stories remind me a little of old European folklore before people forgot. Same deal with the "Devil", they're teaching figures mostly. Just that of course most of these stories end badly for maximum effect, with an ignorant non-compliant main character that gets punished for their defiance when facing the teacher.

Step 1 Japanese Person does something that from some very curved angle is a minor fault, like throwing trash or not greeting someone Step 2 Yokai appears and tricks the Japanese into coming to his lair or to his hunting ground Step 3 Yokai proceeds to hunt the Japanese and torture him by showing him how his fault enraged it. Step 4 The Japanese is then forced to suffer for eternity in Hell, an alternate dimension or it's just eaten by the monster or spirited away to never be heard off again.

[@verifiedburrito3992]

Lmao that's what I told my friend while showing him this 😂

[@JayArr96]

What I love about this is that considering this is based in Japanese folklore, it's got that potential hidden moral. Often times, folklore stories have a hidden moral of some sort of mentality or attitude you're meant to adopt. Bob said "How can a man take care of his family, if he can't even take care of his home?" Then, in the end, the MC says that he's been making new holes in an attempt to summon him, but he never returns. Since the dude kept his life a mess, Bob never saw the need to come back to teach him the same lesson. You could say that the hidden moral is that you kinda need to have your shit together before you can really have a true healthy family dynamic. Which is kinda funny since that's actually a really good moral in some creepy ass KZbin animation.

[@Mayhzon]

That's just one. The cool thing about hidden morales is you can interprete them differently. Another KZbin commenter here interpreted that procrastination is a Demon. You could also see that the hostility of the Japanese man turned the Demon aggressive in the first place. Or that his unwillingness to fight for his wife made the Yokai go through with it. Or that even after the Yokai was gone, he never made anything of himself, experienced no growth, never found another woman. There is many lessons in this little short.

[@kevingleaton1186]

So Bob's strict but fair is you sayin?

[@asperRader]

I imagine if he actually kept his house in shape instead of breaking it to try and 'summon' the yokai again, he might even have gotten his wife back. But he went the entirely wrong way, ignoring what Bob was saying to him.

[@anonymousbrooks8194]

I honestly believe that Bob was trying to test him, and he failed. Instead of picking himself back up and slowly repairing his house piece by piece and hopes of seeing his wife again. He destroys the house even more.

Bob the Builder A Yokai that resembles that of a construction worker. If your home has a damaged roof, window etc, which hasn’t been replaced or fixed for a week, this Yokai will manifest into existence and hunt you down to use your body as materials to rebuild. It has a sense of purpose where it would capture every member of a family except one (Mostly male) and passes on a judgemental thought on taking care of one’s home

[@TheSpiralAim]

I know this is old, but it's more that he'll use loved ones as building materials. Since the people that suffer the most for an unsafe home are your loved ones. It isn't a tragedy if one's own laziness hurts them, it's when it hurts someone else it becomes one.

I'm not even totally sure what a yokai is

[@まいあゆみ-b4m]

I really love how accurate this is. Some Yokai are depicted to be as a monster that kills anyone for no reason (well, some) and doesn’t speak or such. But this video shows how it depicted so well. Sometimes Yokai would be asking questions. For example, Aka Manto “Red” or “Blue”. And Bob is asking “Can we fix it?” And if yes, he will leave them alone or, “No”, then he will take everything from you. The behavior of Bob’s mysterious appearance and demeanor, really add to the scene of how Yokai creatures act

[@Cashmusx]

Let’s just take a second to appreciate how good meatcanyons production values have gotten. This looks like a professional short film with a story to match. He’s come a long ways from the simple flash cartoons he used to make.

This dude is a genius. Yokai are spirits related to certain aspect of life, in most cases negative ones (untidiness, laziness, unfaithfulness, you name it). Yokai Bob appears to those who neglect their house and keep it in a state of disrepair. I just love how he absolutely comprehended japanese yokai origins, meaning and purpose and took a western character to fulfill the role so seamlessly.

[@Elementroar]

I have a feeling that the guy had to FIX his house up after it was destroyed, and then MAYBE the yokai would have returned his wife. Because he would show that he could rebuild despite being wracked with grief. The husband being self-destructive would have just showed the yokai that he never learned his lesson.
