Ah yes... The story about how magikarp evolves into gyarados.

[@Dominucastro47]

For real that was exactly what I was about to comment Pokemon 🤣😅 Ash catch'em all!

[@hiromitailor8075]

This only further confuses me on why Gyarados is not a dragon type.

[@rnr7930]

Unironically yes. Marikarp is based on this legend

[@thatoneguy6142]

They're evolution is based on this myth

[@zan4336]

Yeah. Except the "keep switching Magikarp for exp farm until lvl 20" part

[@sifilore9462]

Within the Four Symbols of Chinese legends, there're 5 mystical mighty creatures that represents the 4 corners of the winds, seasons, and the 5 spiritual elements. 1) The Azure Dragon is the east, spring and wood. 2)The Vermillion Bird (a Chinese and Japanese phoenix) is the south, summer and fire. 3) The White Tiger is the west, autumn and metal. 4) The Black Tortoise is the north, winter, and water. And 5) The Yellow Dragon is the central, midsummer, and earth.

[@fraderiktan1505]

Some say the middle was a qilin which also a symbol for earth but by the looks of it, it depends....

[@gregorysaugustine5236]

What about the qilin? Isn't the qilin also a divine being in Chinese mythology?

[@skurvay3429]

Perhaps the Central Creature is actually a Fusion of the other Four Creatures(Dragon, Bird, Tiger & Tortoise), when they all combine into One they form a Creature similar to the Qilin, which would be the Central Creature in order to represent the other Four coming together in perfect unison in order to create harmony within their ranks.

[@kemaichijou8999]

Except those dragon are greedy and evil, they are supposed to govern the route of rain to make the world prosper and to preserve life for human to survive that's Thier origin , the dragon are celestial being that is sent to earth by the greater celestial God for a permanent mission Some dragon are doing its job , But some are nasty they are eating human

[@balldeep69hardcoregamer50]

Magikarp Is based of this myth. That's why it has the move Splash.

[@Cuban20]

This is such a wonderful story. Though I do feel bad for those Carp who died.

[@kimberlypatton9634]

I don't think they died. They just gave up the hard quest and returned home...

[@unimenjayatextile1478]

It is a story of hardwork. Not every hardwork get the some result. But at least the died carp already try the best.

[@DaLeeza]

Lesson: your life is one of death and despair of you give up on your aspirations.

[@arielginter289]

RIP Nishikiyama

[@xidianuniversity3924]

na,they are dead,this is an actual natural phenomenon,carps do it to repodus,no dragons though

[@AsepTravels]

I have a koi pond and I have a waterfall that flows back into the pond and I sometimes see one them trying to swim up the waterfall. It always makes me think of this story.😊

[@Tamo8]

Shiny Magikarp is gold because in the original tale the karp turns into a golden dragon.. Man Gamefreak really hide so much lore in these details..

[@mathieuleader8601]

this legend inspired the pirate emperor Kaido in Echiro Oda's popular manga/anime One Piece & his devil fruit

[@arktidasagency7968]

But his life and appearance look like Genghis Khan.

[@_not_aiden_]

Why do you have to say one piece by oda people who already know about it will get it by seeing it

[@TheBrainiak10]

Came to find out why his is a model of the Fish-Fish fruit 🐉

[@-RONNIE]

@@inotaishu1 well I can't believe you commented on something from 2 years ago but I think I read it in a mythology book years before this video came out when I was doing research on different cultures mythologies and lore

The whole plot of yakuza 1

[@alkatraz706]

I love tattooing these.. specially the koi dragon transition

[@Erricane]

There was an old saying before the 21st century in China. "Students taking examinations are like carps swimming upstream a waterfall." That phrase is no longer used due to modernization and the Chinese government sees this as more of a child's fantasy following an exaggerated dream. Even my parents has never heard of it. My grandfather on my mother's side was the only one who remembered this story and he had a vague memory of it told by his father.

[@sleepyfisherman4878]

Beautifully told, and an amazing story

[@alchemy616]

That kids is why Magikarp evolves into a Gyarados

[@FoxKingjm]

I would like to future videos of the Journey to the West and Nezha.

[@aubreyyoung6664]

The art is so beautiful and I love it

[@abubarrie88]

So this basically Kaido’s backstory

[@truthspreader1996]

I'm not connecting the dots?

[@QuincyVollstandig]

@@truthspreader1996 the story of the carp fish turn into a dragon was the inspiration to Kaido’s devil fruit in one piece where before we don’t know what type of fruit Kaido ate which is we now know how his devil fruit wasn’t called the mythical dragon dragon fruit but instead called the mythical fish fish fruit model azure dragon which the inspiration came from this story

[@truthspreader1996]

@@QuincyVollstandig Oh, okay. That actually slip my mind.

[@_ShivamRai]

So Kaido's awaken form will be a golden dragon.😳😳

[@kimjongdaeloml3237]

I love this artstyle

[@icemountaindragon5057]

I will hold onto this Mythology!

[@foxsxd7858]

Lessons that can be taken from the story of the magicarp who wanted to fly and ended up becoming a gyarado : No matter how big our dreams are and no matter how difficult the obstacles, as long as we are willing to try, it will definitely produce results

[@anubis96789]

I love this story

[@alifatunfaoziyah9846]

Very beautiful story, there are lessons to be learned, the animation presented is also good

[@softicecream3322]

For anyone who doesn’t know real life carp can actually swim up a water fall by doing this jumping flopping motion

[@veljkobogdanovic609]

In Serbia some older people say that when a fish of a special kind grows to be 100 years old he will transformed himself into a dragon

[@joeswampdawghenry]

Yes.. I have zee 🐉 dragon.. It lives with me.

[@charliemcternan8190]

I love the origins of olds stories of the great mythology of gods u love it your the best can we please get more Celtic please

[@WahyuMahardika-qy9pm]

A very motivating story, keep fighting even if you go against the current, like a koi fish that continues to climb a waterfall, which seems impossible but the koi fish has proven it. I remember One Piece when Luffy's crew climbed the waterfall on a trip to Wano, Kaido's devil fruit was a koi fish that evolved into a dragon.

[@nidhaaanrl]

interesting and good legend story

[@ndaktaunamanya2328]

good story and can be used for learning with good animation

[@ditzz8801]

The story is good, this legendary story taught me not to give up easily under any circumstances and was given an explanation 

[@fauziahmadaldisansyah4483]

This legendary story is very good, it can motivate someone who is trying to achieve what they dream of

[@lebendigesgespenst7669]
