@Late0NightPC

@@arcotroll8530 Yeah. Another was Atalante from Greek myth, a powerful huntress who helped out Jason and the Argonauts as well as helped Theseus hunt the Caledonian Boar. She was brought out to a mountain to be abandoned by her birth father, but was discovered by a bear mother who recently had lost her cubs. Bears were a symbol of Artemis, goddess of the hunt and moon, so Atalante became quite skilled with the bow as she was raised by the bear. Another one, and one that really goes to show how ancient the trope is, is Enkidu from the Epic of Gilgamesh. The EoG is the single oldest known written work of fiction in the world, and while there are stories that can predate it thanks to oral tradition, it's currently the first story that was written down that we know of. King Gilgamesh was a cruel king, and the people prayed to the gods about his tyranny, and in response the gods made a man out of clay named Enkidu. Enkidu was "born" out in the wilds, and was taught how to live by wild animals, before being discovered by a Priestess who took him in, taught him how to live as a man rather than an animal. Then he went on to beat the shit out of Gilgamesh, become close bros with him, and eventually was killed, causing Gilgamesh to undergo a massive journey and character development that is the central story of the Epic. "Person raised by wild animals" is one of the oldest cliches in the world thanks to the EoG, so it shows up absolutely everywhere. It's a way to show that a character has incredible physical ability, as they are able to survive in the wilds without any of the comforts and protections of civilization. Then the trope tends to diverge with the character either being a heroic figure who leaves the wilds and joins society, showing that they have that physical power but will use it for humanity, or the character stays as a "wild man" and often becomes a villain that is defeated by the actual hero of the story, as they'd rather keep that physical ability for their own sake.

I searched a lot about Mononoke's costume design but couldn't find anything really accurate because in my language there aren't many articles about it so it was really nice to know! What I do found was that the inverted triangles are usually used to represent the feminine and in occultism they are a symbol for summoning spirits as well, what may be related to her face paint. Also many characters wolf/nature related have now the same facepaint as her like Rayla from The Dragon Prince or Red from Tangled the Series (that's actually a werewolf) what I think it's obviously a reference to her. What I found that related the most to the use of facepaint in Japan was about the Kabuki theater, but then despites the use of red paint it all looked more like Kyoshi from Avatar then like San so it makes much more sense what you said. Thank you for the awesome video! :)

That's not a youkai. At least the animals in that movie. Ther are Gods, Ther are The Gods of Nature. Ashitaka, a young man who lives in Emishi's hidden village, is cursed by the Tatari god who tries to attack the village. Rather than just waiting for death, he sets out for a land far west to open up his own destiny. What Ashitaka saw there was the people of the Tatara field who carved out the forest to make iron, the chief Eboshi, the mountain dog clan who protected the forest, and the human girl Sun who lives with the mountain dog. Ashitaka knows why the Tatari God was born in the gap I'll give you a hint. (1) The place name has a history. (2) White is divine, red is suspicious For instance 1,White Wild boar (Ibukiyama no Okkoto Nushi) A male animal god described in "Kojiki". In "Kojiki", a wild boar god of the child and the wet wind appears three degrees. 1. Encountered when Yamato Takeru went to Ibukiyama 2. Appears at the time of rebellion against Emperor Ogami by Kosaka and Shinobukuma 3. Emperor Yuryaku is attacked at Mt. Katsuragi, The name comes from the Okkoto, Fujimi-cho, Nagano Prefecture, where Miyazaki's villa was located (Near my daughter-in-law's parents' house) 2 Moro no Kimi White large 300-year-old with a tail of two God dog . Female and mother. Like her two mountain dogs, she raises a sun abandoned by humans and loves her as a daughter. This wolf belongs to Mitsumine Shrine and is generally called "Oinusama" and is worshiped. The original name is "Okuchi no Makami". It is a deified god of Japanese wolves.

This tradition of naming things in nature also is part of my native language. The name of a rock, plant, stars, water-spring or some natural structure is also the name of that very object and the name of what were once a god/"being". Though most of my country do not have such animist or shamanist traditions anymore, the act of superstition from the olden days still lingers; knocking on wood (since trees are where most gods lived) and saying "passing through" when going through an unfamiliar place.

When living in japan in the 90’s I assumed that “Mononoke” “Mono” being thing and “Ke” being hair and so meant something like “Asokonoke” or “Mange”The hair down there”. Knowing that contemporary Japanese didn’t trim their pubic hair I made my second dubious assumption that a healthy full Bush that hangs proudly like a wet monks beard when climbing out of the onsen or ofuro is something of great reverence or a symbol of social standing and therefore the movie was named “Princess Pubes” obviously . I am now aware that I may have been completely wrong. gaijin logic.

It's crazy how the Japanese shinto beliefs and folklore sound similar to traditional African religions. For example the belief that a tree could be inhabited by a spirit and how the forest often has malignant entities lurking around. As a west African we had stories of trees bleeding when they were cut and fully possessed trees that no one went near because anyone that did seem to have unexplained misfortune befall them.

Take a closer look at the scene where Ashitaka shoots a powerful arrow. His arrow hits the sword. It doesn't hit samurai's arm. In another scene, when the samurai's neck is cut, multiple parts are cut with a single arrow. Obviously, the arrow has a magical power(Juryoku?). It has been pointed out that it may have a cylindrical cutting force field.

@@Linfamy Well, I think it has to do with the symbolism of wisdom, but also with age. In this specific case not really 900 years. My sensei was around 90 years old when he visited us. People seem to be exaggerating when it comes to such data. By the way, I couldn't get the ninth dan even if I were 900 years old because I'm not a native of Okinawa.😔
