The Kappa
On today's episode we discuss the legend of the Kappa, who is said to be located in the lakes and rivers of Japan. This cunning and dangerous Japanese bogeyman is both hilarious and terrifying at the same time. However, is it just a legend or is there more to the stories? Join us as we break down the tales, sightings and evidence for its existence, and also links to some well-known cryptids. Welcome back to Infinite Rabbit Hole and The Paranormal Network!

00:00:08,300 --> 00:00:11,200
listeners.
I would suspect as soon as they
4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,100
come out.
I've got to listen and I'm often
5
00:00:14,100 --> 00:00:16,400
on the Facebook page saying,
welcome rabbits.
6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,700

You're amazing.
And from down here, in Tijuana
9
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:26,900
at the moment, keep up the good
work.
10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:49,800
Have a great day.
Located in the waterways across,
11
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,800
Japan lies, a beast of
incredible intelligence a
12
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,800
cunning stealthy Predator.
A being with one thing on its
13
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,800
mind.
One motivation.
14
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:03,500
One goal silently gliding
through the water.
15
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:06,900
It stalks the prey that has
wandered dangerously close to
16
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:10,700
the water's edge.
It's victim is strong, a
17
00:01:10,700 --> 00:01:14,000
formidable Target, one that will
struggle and fight to survive,
18
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,700
which is exactly what this
attacker.
19
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:23,400
Prefers waiting watching
savoring, the moment of this
20
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,400
salt, the unsuspecting foolish
subjects slides into the cool
21
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,500
water and without warning it
strikes.
22
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:36,400
The prey is you and it wants
what you have.
23
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:42,900
You heard the Jeans, but believe
them to be just that you saw the
24
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:46,700
warning signs but chose to
ignore the local superstitions.
25
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,000
And now here you are.
Hopeless to the violent creature
26
00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:54,000
and has come for your most
prized possession.
27
00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:58,100
And the only way to take it is
to rip it from your guts.
28
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:02,000
Watch your cornhole.
You're in Kappa territory.
29
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:04,400
Welcome back to infinite rabbit
hole.
30
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:30,200
Dad at a time.
I had to keep muted.
31
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,400
You shouldn't have kept it
muted.
32
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,700
I had to cracking up that whole
time.
33
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,700
Oh, the Kappa.
I'm curious kid, and we'll go,
34
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:43,600
we'll start with you, do you
know anything about the Kappa?
35
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,200
I've heard of the Kappa, but I
dont know anything about it.
36
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,200
So you know nothing about it.
Like, NADA, anything whatsoever.
37
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,900
I now know that it's A Japanese
thing that's about as far as
38
00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:58,300
that's about as much as I know
about the Kappa now.
39
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Thanks Jake for bestowing that
information upon me.
40
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:04,800
Well strap in because it's going
to get wild.
41
00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:10,000
What about you Geoffrey?
I literally know what I'm
42
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,200
looking at on Cryptid Wiki right
now.
43
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,200
Oh, it's not curved away.
Thrifted Wiki, get off that
44
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,100
site.
That's just the first link that
45
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:21,100
came up.
You know, well get off of it.
46
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,800
Okay.
Well That's what I know.
47
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,600
So there you go.
Okay.
48
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,800
Jake.
I'm assuming wants to tell you
49
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,100
the story.
Yeah, I do.
50
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,500
I put a lot of work into this.
If you guys ruin it by going to
51
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:35,900
the only source of information.
I'm giving you know, it's, it's
52
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:38,100
not the only source.
But so basically what had
53
00:03:38,100 --> 00:03:41,100
happened was, I we had family
game night.
54
00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:45,100
I went up to my folks house and
Fresno, and it was me and my
55
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:49,900
brothers and their wives and Mom
and Dad, and I brought my Xbox.
56
00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:53,300
And so we were playing the jack
spot, Jack, Box TV thing.
57
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,000
So basically everyone logs into
the system on their phones on
58
00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:01,600
the internet and you play a
bunch of different games and
59
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,000
stuff and you're just utilizing
your phone as the controller.
60
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,100
So everyone's got a phone all
the time and so this is like a
61
00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:09,700
perfect game system.
So they got all different types
62
00:04:09,700 --> 00:04:13,700
of trivia and things like that.
And one of the trivias was about
63
00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:16,500
the Kappa and it was the first
I'd heard about it and it was
64
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,000
maybe it was actually on my
birthday.
65
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,200
So it was back in August and of
August.
66
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,500
And dude, I fell in love.
I just, I couldn't not do an
67
00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:31,300
episode on this and I was like,
gosh, I hope that there's more
68
00:04:31,300 --> 00:04:35,500
than just what was announced on
on this game and sure enough, I
69
00:04:35,508 --> 00:04:40,200
look it up and it was hilarious
and I was just like, okay, this
70
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,600
is what I got to do.
So I know that people are
71
00:04:41,608 --> 00:04:43,500
expecting me to throw out
another Giants episode.
72
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:46,900
And I'm sorry, I'm not doing
that today because I had to get
73
00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:49,800
this out of the way because I
was like, even if this episode
74
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,500
is only 30 minutes long, which I
I doubt it will be but I just
75
00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:57,300
love the content and I really
wanted to throw it out there.
76
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,700
So what was the question?
It was basically which one of
77
00:05:02,707 --> 00:05:07,300
these is is false or something
like that.
78
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:11,700
And it was I think it was FIB
ejack chewy and it told what the
79
00:05:11,700 --> 00:05:16,800
Kappa Kappa is and what it does
and what it removes from you.
80
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,000
And then you were supposed to
input your own lie as to what it
81
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,100
might have been, but And guess
the correct answer as to what it
82
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:27,600
was.
And I don't think anyone
83
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,000
actually got it, but it was just
like, you know, three sentences
84
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,000
about it.
It talked about, you know, and I
85
00:05:34,008 --> 00:05:36,500
was just like, I'll get into
them, won't be.
86
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:39,400
So I'll secretive forever.
But I was just like, just
87
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,500
cracking up.
I was like, this is hilarious.
88
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:48,200
And everyone's like, what?
And it just some wild just, you
89
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,500
know, shot in the dark trivia
that most people probably
90
00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:52,500
wouldn't.
Not know.
91
00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:56,300
And I was just like, man, this
is hilarious, but in this
92
00:05:56,300 --> 00:05:58,800
episode, we'll get into what it
is.
93
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:05,400
I've got broken up, like usual
will get into the sidings and
94
00:06:06,100 --> 00:06:09,800
what it could be.
And then the the pop culture
95
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:15,200
section of it, this is only
eight pages for you, Jeff plus,
96
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,600
I need to jump out of here right
when we're done, because I've
97
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,500
got a friend's game night thing,
too.
98
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,400
Jet off to with Whitney.
But yeah, I mean if you guys are
99
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,700
ready, I'll get started unless
you have any questions that I
100
00:06:28,700 --> 00:06:31,200
will not answer until after the
presentation.
101
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,400
So do you cover pop culture at
all?
102
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,000
Yes, he's here for you.
Yeah.
103
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,900
Where were you five seconds ago?
It was hired.
104
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,600
I was, I was double checking my
sources first for a pop culture
105
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,900
reference.
Now that being said, I didn't
106
00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:52,100
add everything.
So if I don't cover it, Feel
107
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:56,000
free to like, you know throw it
out there Jeff and kid.
108
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,300
Are you all ready to go?
Are you ready to do the thing
109
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,300
ready?
Let's do it.
110
00:07:04,900 --> 00:07:07,800
Oh, and then I wore the
appropriate shirt for this.
111
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,300
No be not an alien, sort of a
thing, but you'll get the
112
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:15,800
reference soon for those of you
that liked our back and forth
113
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,200
during one of the Skinwalker
Ranch episodes.
114
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,100
Yeah.
This this will be for you.
115
00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:23,600
Yeah, pretty much.
That's what sealed the deal for
116
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,600
me.
I'm just like, okay.
117
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,800
Oh boy.
All right, here we go.
118
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,000
Fucking Jake.
A lot of these words in
119
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Japanese.
Like always, I kind of have it
120
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,800
spelled out, phonetically in
like, you know, parentheses for
121
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,800
the more difficult ones, but I'm
going to mispronounce it.
122
00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:45,900
And you know what?
I'm not sorry because I don't
123
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:49,000
speak Japanese.
And the way I formulate words as
124
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,300
American, who speaks English is
not the same.
125
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:55,200
So, So I'm gonna mispronounce it
so just buckle up.
126
00:07:55,200 --> 00:08:00,400
I'm going to do my best.
All right, legends sponding from
127
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,700
the e to e do area era.
Yep, see already start.
128
00:08:04,700 --> 00:08:14,300
Now, you know, I do, you know
area, Ed do Ito perfect Legend

to 1867 sheds light on the
130
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,800
Kappa, a water deity.
That In the rivers of Japan and
131
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,900
can either be a blessing or a
curse to people that come across
132
00:08:26,900 --> 00:08:30,600
its path, although their
appearance varies slightly from
133
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,000
region to region, they're common
traits.
134
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,700
Are that they're short, no more
than five feet tall.
135
00:08:35,700 --> 00:08:40,000
Humanoid beings their scaly
reptile like skin comes in the
136
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,400

backs.
They have beaked mouths and

webbed hands and feet.
Making them exceptional swimmers
139
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:52,200
lastly, they have magical
powers.
140
00:08:52,700 --> 00:08:55,800
The source of this power comes
from a small pool of water water
141
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,300
called asara.
That is contained in a bowl
142
00:08:58,300 --> 00:09:01,500
shape dent on top of their
heads, surrounded by long,
143
00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:04,900
shaggy hair in a bowl cut, think
of the hairstyle worn by
144
00:09:04,900 --> 00:09:09,600
medieval monks, the name Kappa
translated to water.
145
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,000

Go Appa Suitengu.
Etc, kappas are extremely
148
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:25,800
cunning.
And while sometimes being rather
149
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,200
generous to humans, like giving
them the knowledge of how to
150
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,900
reset broken bones or how to
make medicinal salves.
151
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,900
Bringing fresh bringing bringing
families, fresh fish, and
152
00:09:36,900 --> 00:09:39,200
helping Farmers with crop
irrigation.
153
00:09:39,500 --> 00:09:42,600
But these are instances are
mostly restricted to
154
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,500
circumstances when the Kappa
owed.
155
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:49,700
A debt to the individual more
commonly the cap of viciously.
156
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,700
Attacks, humans or plays cruel
tricks on them.
157
00:09:53,300 --> 00:09:57,600
Legend has it that the more
harmless side, the Kappa will
158
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,900
imitate the sound of flatulence.
Make offensive jokes, look up.
159
00:10:01,900 --> 00:10:05,900
Women, a woman's kimono and
other sometimes perverse, but
160
00:10:05,900 --> 00:10:10,700
not necessarily violent actions.
However, their temperament is
161
00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:14,300
more often that of a vicious
attacker that kidnaps in each
162
00:10:14,300 --> 00:10:18,500
children, drowns, livestock's
drowns, livestock, and rivers
163
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,500
sexually.
Women and will kill adults and
164
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:24,500
drink their blood.
And unfortunately, for the women
165
00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:27,400
who were assaulted by these
beings, they would sometimes
166
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,100
become pregnant with human /,
Kappa hybrids and would kill the
167
00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:33,400
children when they gave birth to
them, due to the child's
168
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,800
disgusting appearance, their
attacks on people are usually
169
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,200
associated with their incredible
love for fighting their victims,
170
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,900
and are Avid enthusiasts of sumo
wrestling along with their
171
00:10:44,900 --> 00:10:49,000
Obsession for obtaining, the
victims Cherie Kodama, which
172
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,600
contains a huge Humans life
force, their SRI Kodama
173
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:57,300
translated small anus.
Ball is a small green magical
174
00:10:57,300 --> 00:11:04,200
ball that is said to be in your
anus kid.
175
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,600
You're the Kappa considers these
life force contain he's and
176
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,900
containing anus organs, a
delicacy and feasts on them as
177
00:11:11,900 --> 00:11:16,700
soon as they're harvested other
uses for your SRI Kodama are for
178
00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:20,300
tribute to the Sea dwelling
dragon king who said to The Lord
179
00:11:20,300 --> 00:11:24,600
of All Things, aquatic as
previously discussed killing for
180
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,400
the shriek Adama, SRI Kodama is
an effective way of obtaining
181
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,500
it, but it isn't the only way
the other less lethal harvesting
182
00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:36,800
method involved, hiding in
toilets, which historically were
183
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,700
located over rivers and waiting
for the opportunity to rip it
184
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:48,500
right out of your butthole.
Other than savoring, the taste
185
00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:52,000
of your coveted but ball,
folklore of these beings claim.
186
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,100
That cucumbers are their
favorite meal.
187
00:11:54,500 --> 00:11:58,100
They also consumed eggplants.
So before mented, soy beans and
188
00:11:58,100 --> 00:12:02,200
pumpkins and old.
Tokyo, people used to keep their
189
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,200
family members from coming to
harm by putting cucumbers.
190
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,300
In the river etched with the
names of their in each with
191
00:12:08,300 --> 00:12:12,400
their individual names.
Alternatively, sliced, cucumbers
192
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,800
would be thrown into the water
So the cap, it would be too
193
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,500
preoccupied with eating the
pieces and leave the humans
194
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:19,100
alone while they bathed in the
river.
195
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,600
Also, it said that eating
cucumbers before swimming.
196
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,600
We protect you from the schemes
of the Kappa, but others believe
197
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,200
this would most assuredly cause
an attack to happen.
198
00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:33,000
Besides the Cucumber bribery
that people did.
199
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,600
Ginger Sesame and iron were
utilized to keep it away.
200
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,600
Next, we'll get into the cap has
magical powers and how an
201
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,400
individual could get the better
of them.
202
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:44,300
But for the meantime, what are
your thoughts?
203
00:12:45,900 --> 00:12:51,600
Well, my initial thoughts, I
guess at the end of that one was
204
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,700
well if you're going to eat
cucumbers and likes you covers
205
00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:59,000
and you smell like cucumbers,
you may be getting your your
206
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:05,500
taint tickled by like 1:30.
And what was the what was the
207
00:13:05,500 --> 00:13:09,400
thing that was in your butthole
Cherie Kodama?
208
00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:17,600
It's Shi, are I KO D Ama?
And that's the source that's
209
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:23,100
your life force shoved right up
that cornhole sure we go Damo
210
00:13:23,700 --> 00:13:25,800
shriek Adama.
Yeah.
211
00:13:25,900 --> 00:13:28,200
Okay.
Well so I was the part that was
212
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:33,200
in Jack box is that they talked
about that and then no one had
213
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,900
heard about what the Kappa was.
So now when got it but it was
214
00:13:35,900 --> 00:13:43,500
just like nice this is awesome.
So yes I have heard of said Capo
215
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:48,900
before I am familiar with it.
Does I didn't I don't know too
216
00:13:48,900 --> 00:13:52,400
much about the Laura.
I knew it went in your butthole
217
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,400
for something.
I didn't know what it was good.
218
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,000
Good to know that I've learned
something today.
219
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,600
Thanks, Jake.
That's nice.
220
00:13:58,900 --> 00:14:02,500
Also their Tendencies to sneak
up the toilet.
221
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,000
That is all so new to me.
That's one right out of you man.
222
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:07,900
All right?
Yeah, I could.
223
00:14:07,900 --> 00:14:09,900
Yeah.
I mean, every time you take a
224
00:14:09,908 --> 00:14:15,800
deuce and you are here of
getting your life, I can't you
225
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:19,000
your soul ripped out of your but
most people they're worried
226
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,500
about rats or snakes coming up
their toilets.
227
00:14:21,500 --> 00:14:24,100
No, no, no, no.
Now we're worried about a Kappa
228
00:14:24,100 --> 00:14:25,400
coming after us.
Yeah.
229
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,300
The yeah, there was a spider
that drop down from the ceiling
230
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,400
straight in front of me, when I
was, you know, taking a leak
231
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,400
first thing in the morning.
But I told I told Whitney I was
232
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,600
like, I'm glad that it happened
to me because I wasn't sitting
233
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,700
directly underneath it.
And this you would have jumped
234
00:14:40,700 --> 00:14:42,600
out of your skin.
If this has happened to you and
235
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,100
it was a big boy too is, you
know, size.
236
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:49,300
Like a nickel and just gonna go
and get that that.
237
00:14:49,300 --> 00:14:54,700
But now, to recode Amarillo, now
that I know, you know, now that
238
00:14:54,700 --> 00:14:59,700
being said, my toilet isn't
above a river, but that doesn't
239
00:14:59,700 --> 00:15:03,100
mean that utilizing its magical
powers which we'll get into it.
240
00:15:03,100 --> 00:15:08,700
Can't, you know, find a way as
we know from from Jurassic Park,
241
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,300
life finds a way.
And if this thing wants, once
242
00:15:12,300 --> 00:15:15,000
your life force, it's going to
get it.
243
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:22,400
There's actually really well, I
was just gonna make a joke that
244
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,900
there's a there's a theory out
there that Jurassic Park is
245
00:15:24,900 --> 00:15:29,000
actually a documentary and and
dinosaurs are real.
246
00:15:31,500 --> 00:15:33,200
Including these but loving
kappas.
247
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:35,400
It's funny.
I actually have a lot of
248
00:15:35,700 --> 00:15:38,100
thoughts about this.
Honestly, I don't know if I
249
00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:40,500
should wait.
I don't know because you said it
250
00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:42,200
might be short.
So I don't know how much you
251
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,500
have, but I guess I'll just kind
of wait to give you all my
252
00:15:45,500 --> 00:15:47,800
thoughts, but there's a lot here
Man.
253
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:53,600
II figured the iron thing was
gonna jump out at, you know, now
254
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,300
really.
Oh no, no, no.
255
00:15:56,300 --> 00:15:59,700
There's some diesel spirits and
iron you are utilizing.
256
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,300
Thing, utilizing iron to get rid
of them and stuff.
257
00:16:03,300 --> 00:16:05,200
Like it's not something that
you're just going to.
258
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,200
I mean there's there's probably
something there.
259
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:12,300
I'm not picking up on but
definitely with it's like I
260
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:14,400
don't know.
I found some pictures and stuff
261
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,400
online while you were talking
and I'm looking at like somewhat
262
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:24,400
look like old Japanese writings.
Oh while I'm while we're sitting
263
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,700
here, I'm going to send you guys
a video that I want you to have
264
00:16:28,700 --> 00:16:32,900
queued up because I'm Gonna talk
about it for the the sources.
265
00:16:32,900 --> 00:16:35,700
And we're gonna, we're going to
break this thing down the same
266
00:16:35,700 --> 00:16:36,600
way.
We all kind of looked at that
267
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:41,300
picture on Ken's ours, but so to
talk about the iron real quick,
268
00:16:42,100 --> 00:16:45,200
I mean do you get into whether
or not this thing has any ties
269
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,600
to the FAE?
Know, I don't okay because cold
270
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:55,200
iron is supposedly bleed to
repeal or or harm, ferries,
271
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,900
which is you don't like it too,
too much.
272
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,400
So I didn't know if there was a
tie This.
273
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:07,200
And those kind of well jeez
certainly there could be and
274
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,800
we'll get into the ties with
other known Cryptids and stuff
275
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:19,599
but I mean if they're all kind
of based off the same things but
276
00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:22,300
this is more looking like, I
mean the way that the Japanese
277
00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:27,400
people kind of go about the
legend of the Kappa is it's more
278
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,500
as if it's a real animal like a,
you know, it's not just a
279
00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:35,100
legend.
It's an actual thing that still
280
00:17:35,100 --> 00:17:38,200
occurs or still exists and
things like that.
281
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,900
And then there's some that see
it as a deity, you know, they
282
00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:43,800
actually like, you know, see it
as like something to be
283
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,900
worshipped and like feared and
then There's other people that
284
00:17:46,900 --> 00:17:50,400
just see it as like you know the
stories of the boogeyman, you
285
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:51,800
know.
And so it's just like you get a
286
00:17:51,808 --> 00:18:00,400
whole range of belief within
this this being and you'll hear
287
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:05,100
that as I'm as I'm reading it
somewhat talk about it in the
288
00:18:05,100 --> 00:18:08,600
past tense and somewhat in the
present tense because it's
289
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,700
really like will get into the
evidence of it.
290
00:18:10,700 --> 00:18:14,500
But there is a good case to be
said that it could be more on
291
00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:17,700
the real side.
And then the case to be said
292
00:18:17,700 --> 00:18:20,300
that it's not.
So it's just like you know it's
293
00:18:20,300 --> 00:18:22,100
like anything, right?
You could say the same thing
294
00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:25,400
with Bigfoot, there's your your
reference but if Bigfoot's
295
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,200
really that's not that's not the
same at all.
296
00:18:27,300 --> 00:18:30,300
As you as you were saying that
though.
297
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,300
I went through like, six
different emotions as you were
298
00:18:35,300 --> 00:18:38,100
reading your paragraph there,
and I went from dang.
299
00:18:38,100 --> 00:18:40,000
This thing looks really cool,
too.
300
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,000
I am absolutely utterly
terrified of this thing to.
301
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:49,900
This thing's an absolute joke.
So some of the more aggressive
302
00:18:49,900 --> 00:18:55,700
drawings that I saved a bunch of
bunch of images that will I'll
303
00:18:55,700 --> 00:18:59,100
go back and listen to it Jeff
and I'll tell you, when you want
304
00:18:59,100 --> 00:19:01,800
you to insert those for, like
all the people on the The
305
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,600
Paranormal Network on the
YouTube, but some of the more
306
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,500
aggressive drawings have
illustrations of the Kappa.
307
00:19:09,300 --> 00:19:12,300
Doing what?
Kappas do, two local women and I
308
00:19:12,300 --> 00:19:15,500
was like, all right, well,
that's, you know, it's not
309
00:19:15,500 --> 00:19:18,400
great.
It's like, you know, that the
310
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,000
other yeah, that's terrifying in
my head side of the Capitol
311
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,900
where it like, you know, makes
fart jokes and like, you know,
312
00:19:25,900 --> 00:19:29,000
says hey big nose and things
like that.
313
00:19:29,100 --> 00:19:32,800
And then it's gonna like, you
know, up Skirt you and then the
314
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,100
other side of the Kappa which is
like, you know, all rapey and
315
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,800
and eaten kids and ripping
buttholes out and all kinds of
316
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,600
stuff.
Like it's just getting at you.
317
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:49,800
But I guess what I'm trying to
think of what the the purpose of
318
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,100
the boogeyman aspect of this
would be because we're getting
319
00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:55,500
that.
Okay, because I historically the
320
00:19:55,500 --> 00:20:00,800
boogeyman is there to instill
fear into you, somebody to not
321
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,100
do something.
You know what, Rambis will talk
322
00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:05,600
about Krampus for a minute.
Like when we cover Krampus?
323
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,200
Life's.
Last year, for our Christmas
324
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:12,800
special Krampus was there as
this entity to instill fear into
325
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,800
children to behave.
Right?
326
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,300
Same thing as our Santa Claus,
you know, believe it or not,
327
00:20:17,300 --> 00:20:21,400
Santa Claus is considered a
boogeyman type thing because it
328
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,900
instills fear, you know, it's
not going to come out kill you
329
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,400
but you're not going.
If you're just, if you don't
330
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:28,900
behave, you don't get your
gifts.
331
00:20:28,900 --> 00:20:31,700
Exactly.
So right here is as I'm going to
332
00:20:31,708 --> 00:20:35,700
get a lump of coal instead, I'm
curious as to what the purpose
333
00:20:35,700 --> 00:20:39,800
of this mythology, you know, the
background is for it because you
334
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,900
only thing I can think of is
like, you know don't play on
335
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:45,500
your phone while you're taking a
poop and end up spending 30
336
00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:48,400
minutes in there just you know
it said that get in there and do
337
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,100
what you got to do and get out.
We'll get into it, briefly and
338
00:20:52,100 --> 00:20:54,900
that there.
And if, if I remember, there's a
339
00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:58,400
source I'd like to talk about
although I couldn't find the
340
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,600
same information anywhere else
with the Of that mythology
341
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,500
dotnet website so I didn't add
it in this but I'll briefly
342
00:21:06,500 --> 00:21:09,200
discuss it and say and this is
well.
343
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,900
But there is a good reasoning
that if this is in fact, just a
344
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:17,100
local Legend Boogeyman type
thing.
345
00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:19,000
Well, then, you know, once I
throw it out there and I'll be a
346
00:21:19,008 --> 00:21:21,100
couple sentences you're like, oh
that makes total sense.
347
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,100
Hmm.
Okay, so yeah, man, if you guys
348
00:21:24,100 --> 00:21:27,200
are ready, we'll get into magic
powers and how to defeat them.
349
00:21:28,100 --> 00:21:30,400
Let's Do It Go.
All right.
350
00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:35,200
Kappas are a force to be feared
and respected, especially among
351
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:40,200
individuals, that believe them
to be a deity as far as their
352
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,800
magical powers besides
Incredible strength,
353
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,600
intelligence and swimming
ability.
354
00:21:45,100 --> 00:21:47,900
I have no idea but apparently
they have them.
355
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,400
I couldn't find any information
at all.
356
00:21:52,700 --> 00:21:56,100
As mentioned in the beginning of
the most important weaknesses to
357
00:21:56,100 --> 00:22:00,300
remember is the saara on top of
their heads, despite the
358
00:22:00,300 --> 00:22:04,100
ruthlessness of their attacks.
They were said to have an
359
00:22:04,100 --> 00:22:07,300
extreme obsession with human
politeness.
360
00:22:07,900 --> 00:22:11,500
And if a human were to perform a
deep bow to them, as is
361
00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:16,500
Japanese, as is Japanese custom
then in turn, they had bow back,
362
00:22:16,500 --> 00:22:18,900
spilling the water contained in
the bowl.
363
00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:21,800
They would then be stuck in that
bad.
364
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,300
Sharon until the water from the
river.
365
00:22:24,300 --> 00:22:27,400
They came from was placed back
in its spot.
366
00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:31,900
If this action was performed by
human, the Kappa would then
367
00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:34,500
serve the individual for all
eternity.
368
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,900
Next, if you ripped off its
arms, which is said to be fairly
369
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:44,000
easy, then the Capo would impart
its vast knowledge on you or do
370
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:49,000
favors until you gave them back.
the lacks the last weakness was,
371
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,200
if it if it challenged, a human
to sumo wrestling, the person
372
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,200
could do their best to knock it
over, spilling, the water in the
373
00:22:56,208 --> 00:22:59,800
saara and then with the same
result, as the Bowing would
374
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:04,500
occur, at least this used to be
the way to go to defeat them
375
00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:07,900
until the kappas were said to
have caught on to what humans
376
00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:11,100
were doing and started placing
metal plates on top of their
377
00:23:11,100 --> 00:23:14,600
heads, when they left the safety
of the river and maybe not
378
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,800
strictly a weakness but you
Repel them by farting in their
379
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:24,400
faces.
Do you talk about a particular
380
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,400
cartoon that I'm thinking of I
talked about a couple cartoons.
381
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:30,700
Okay.
I'm thinking of 12.
382
00:23:31,300 --> 00:23:35,000
Yeah, so pop culture, you're
jumping like way ahead.
383
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:41,100
We're not even weren't page to
right now, so I I don't know
384
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:42,300
much about the Kappa.
Yeah.
385
00:23:42,300 --> 00:23:44,900
I've heard about it in passing.
Of course, you know, when you,
386
00:23:45,300 --> 00:23:48,400
when you research and you do the
kind of things that, you know, I
387
00:23:48,408 --> 00:23:52,300
do, I'm surprised you knew about
it, I was like, no way.
388
00:23:52,500 --> 00:23:53,400
Was anything about this New
York?
389
00:23:53,500 --> 00:23:55,200
Oh, I know about that.
I was like great.
390
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,800
Yeah.
So Jake kind of told me what
391
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:06,000
this was a little while ago and
I promise to keep his secret
392
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,100
prying.
He was like, like oh is it this?
393
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:10,800
Is it that?
Oh, it's this, isn't it?
394
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,300
Oh, it's this, he's just going
to go and I was like, oh my gosh
395
00:24:13,300 --> 00:24:16,400
fine, he hates me.
He's the one over there.
396
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,800
There's some people, they're
like, oh, weighing out their
397
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,400
Christmas presents and other
people are shaking their
398
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,300
Christmas presents.
He's Opening this thing up, he's
399
00:24:23,300 --> 00:24:26,400
like, oh, and then he's putting
it back together and then taping
400
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,600
it all up being like, I don't
know why it looks like that.
401
00:24:28,900 --> 00:24:33,100
Like, athletes guys, awful, I
think Jake's, don't think you
402
00:24:33,108 --> 00:24:35,800
told me exactly what it was.
I think I actually you said
403
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,600
something about water on top of
the head and it being from
404
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,200
Japan.
I was like I said, the Kappa.
405
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,000
You're like, I didn't think you
knew what it was.
406
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:49,100
Yeah.
Anyways what from what I think I
407
00:24:49,108 --> 00:24:53,800
remember of this thing I don't I
don't remember hearing anything
408
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,900
about, you know, when it boughs
and pours the water off and then
409
00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:02,000
it's kind of stuck there like a
statue, I actually believe that.
410
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,700
I heard it dies that it was the
way to kill it and that's why it
411
00:25:05,700 --> 00:25:08,600
doesn't go too far from its
water source.
412
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,400
Because if it does end up
spilling the water out of its
413
00:25:11,500 --> 00:25:16,200
out of its head, it needs to get
back to water very very quickly
414
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,900
the only time that it actually
comes anywhere you know it goes
415
00:25:20,900 --> 00:25:23,900
away from the water source.
Some, which it calls us home is
416
00:25:23,900 --> 00:25:30,700
during rain storms, or I know
that sometimes they actually do.
417
00:25:30,700 --> 00:25:32,900
You get into the snow aspect of
it at all?
418
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,500
No.
Okay.
419
00:25:34,700 --> 00:25:38,500
I've also heard that.
Sometimes they can, they can,
420
00:25:38,500 --> 00:25:43,400
you know, if in colder climates,
they can pack snow into their
421
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,300
head and move around while it's
cold outside.
422
00:25:47,500 --> 00:25:53,000
And as long as they're, it's not
Like, they can't go inside
423
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,800
houses or anything, because the
snow will melt and then a fear
424
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,200
of spilling their water that's
in her head, you know, they
425
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,600
don't really do that.
But yeah.
426
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,800
So I again, I don't know too
much about this is pretty cool.
427
00:26:07,100 --> 00:26:13,700
This is exciting.
Yes, pretty much a for a lot for
428
00:26:13,700 --> 00:26:17,900
my right up.
It was very much like the most
429
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,900
compatible sources I could went
into the right up.
430
00:26:22,100 --> 00:26:26,500
There is a lot of, like, randos,
like the History Channel.
431
00:26:26,500 --> 00:26:29,900
I'll talk about this for, in a
little bit, but the History
432
00:26:29,900 --> 00:26:32,800
Channel did a little thing about
them when they're talking about
433
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:37,300
their Ancient Aliens.
But they were like the guy said,
434
00:26:37,300 --> 00:26:39,500
he's like, oh yes.
And then when they bow, the
435
00:26:39,500 --> 00:26:43,600
water spills out, and then they
could very quickly died, and
436
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:49,600
that was the only reference that
I had heard or read doing, dude.
437
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:54,700
I got to page like 15 a Google.
We're anyone had said anything
438
00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:56,900
like that and so I imagine.
Okay.
439
00:26:56,900 --> 00:27:00,200
Well, if that was the case, then
it would make sense that they
440
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,400
would do something servitude
wise for the person that put the
441
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,100
water back in, so it kept them
from dying.
442
00:27:06,700 --> 00:27:09,700
So that makes sense.
But yeah, people all the
443
00:27:09,700 --> 00:27:12,200
websites, I saw all the links
and everything, they're just
444
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,600
like, oh yes, magical powers.
And then listing the magical
445
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,800
powers that are like incredible
intelligence and swimming.
446
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,400
And I was like, all right, well
that's not Magic.
447
00:27:22,300 --> 00:27:26,100
Maybe for an amphibian, it would
be magic at least intelligence,
448
00:27:26,900 --> 00:27:30,000
so if they have other magical
powers?
449
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,600
Yeah, I don't know.
But apparently they have the
450
00:27:32,608 --> 00:27:36,300
magical powers.
So, so another thing I did while
451
00:27:36,300 --> 00:27:41,000
you were giving off your last
spat of information, was I
452
00:27:41,008 --> 00:27:45,900
quickly did some research on the
sometime just more information
453
00:27:45,900 --> 00:27:52,400
than you could come up with.
Well, one of my When I do
454
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,700
research right is to find
secondary research.
455
00:27:54,700 --> 00:28:01,800
Find yes.
I find what so trying to explain
456
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:06,100
this, right?
So instead of researching the
457
00:28:06,100 --> 00:28:11,100
cap itself, I quickly did a
Google search on the the shirt.
458
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,500
I'm going to recode, I'm gonna
hear this shriek Adamo, right to
459
00:28:14,500 --> 00:28:19,000
try to find any information, not
necessarily to the Capo, but
460
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,700
that may include the cap of
trying to get some background.
461
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:27,700
Background on this mythical ball
inside your butthole and it
462
00:28:27,700 --> 00:28:30,800
seems to be something that
strictly tied to the Kappa.
463
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,200
It I put a little Link in the
chat there.
464
00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:38,100
This is the link that I found
while looking for this shurik
465
00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:43,800
Adama.
And in this website here, I love
466
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,200
the definition that gives
because it's exactly what you
467
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,600
said, right exist.
It is what you think it is.
468
00:28:49,700 --> 00:28:51,700
It word for word here.
I'm quoting.
469
00:28:51,900 --> 00:28:56,700
This from gosh, I wish I can
pronounce this website so I can
470
00:28:56,700 --> 00:29:03,200
Source right doing my best here.
Hayaku mon got Terry.com
471
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,000
opportunity.
Oh yeah, we'll put in the
472
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,700
description.
Yeah, but the they Define it as
473
00:29:10,700 --> 00:29:14,400
the mythical ball said to
contain a person's soul, which
474
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:19,800
is located inside the anus.
Pretty neat stuff.
475
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,200
So, Good.
I was just going to say on that
476
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,600
link that you just shared down,
there's like, you know, comments
477
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:33,400
and stuff on the article going
back to like 2012 and I just
478
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:38,900
happened to stop on this one.
Shout out to Zach Davison, March
479
00:29:38,900 --> 00:29:42,800
16 2012.
Now the challenge is to work.
480
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:47,900
Sheree Kodama into casual
conversation Zack, we should
481
00:29:47,900 --> 00:29:50,400
have called you before we
started this episode.
482
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,900
Yeah, good stuff.
Good, good stuff.
483
00:29:55,900 --> 00:29:59,200
But yeah, this was that's what
that I have then I passed a sure
484
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,500
Kodama.
Yeah, that's something I like to
485
00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:05,700
do.
When when I'm researching is to
486
00:30:05,700 --> 00:30:09,500
research specific things from
the lore itself and see where
487
00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:12,100
the ties could be and see what
other things that branches into.
488
00:30:12,700 --> 00:30:15,900
But it's this seems to be just
from the 30 seconds.
489
00:30:15,900 --> 00:30:18,800
I did from research that is
strictly tied to the Kappa.
490
00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:21,900
Yeah, pretty interesting stuff
when I did that is when I I was
491
00:30:21,900 --> 00:30:26,500
able to find links between other
Cryptids and stuff and sometimes
492
00:30:26,500 --> 00:30:29,600
that's that is a thing.
You start to see these like
493
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:36,300
parallels between Legends and
everything and and it certainly
494
00:30:36,300 --> 00:30:38,700
has that and then the pop
culture references are just
495
00:30:38,700 --> 00:30:41,800
through the roof.
I mean there's a lot and there's
496
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,800
a lot there that down but I do
have a question though.
497
00:30:45,700 --> 00:30:49,900
Does this thing?
It walks on two legs, it's by
498
00:30:49,900 --> 00:30:55,500
pedo cracked.
So so if you rip off, its arms,
499
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:57,900
doesn't know how to utilize its
feet.
500
00:30:57,900 --> 00:30:59,300
How is it going to do you a
bunch of favors?
501
00:30:59,300 --> 00:31:01,300
If it doesn't have hands and
arms to do favors?
502
00:31:02,700 --> 00:31:05,500
No, I didn't specify but it has
a mouth so I could grab stuff.
503
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:06,800
Okay.
Okay.
504
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,000
I guess you got me.
There it is.
505
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,500
I I guess I just felt that I
needed to has magical powers.
506
00:31:11,500 --> 00:31:14,500
Dude, that's magic.
It can still tickle your
507
00:31:14,500 --> 00:31:17,000
butthole.
I'm sure.
508
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,500
Give me that old mine, tickling
buttholes.
509
00:31:24,700 --> 00:31:28,600
But the point is, is that all
you got to do is find one and
510
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,900
rip off its arms or knock it
over.
511
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,900
Hopefully, it doesn't have a
metal plate riveted into the top
512
00:31:33,900 --> 00:31:37,100
of its skull, and it'll be your
slave forever.
513
00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:39,600
Just football tackle at you,
you're golden.
514
00:31:40,300 --> 00:31:46,500
So the reason why I never really
dove into the Kappa, One is
515
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:50,900
because Was I I try to draw a
clear line between what I
516
00:31:50,900 --> 00:31:54,900
believe could be a Cryptid, like
technically exist and what is
517
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,900
strictly mythology, right?
And then there's that blur gray
518
00:31:58,900 --> 00:32:03,800
area where you have things, not
going to give any examples
519
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,400
specifically that could be tied
to the Kappa, but like the
520
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,400
Mothman, right?
A lot of people say they've had
521
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,700
sightings of the Mothman, right?
But to think that there is a
522
00:32:14,300 --> 00:32:17,200
giant black flying humanoid
creature.
523
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,500
With red glowing eyes flying
around right here the Eastern.
524
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:26,500
Yeah, there is that the Eastern
us or throughout the Midwest is
525
00:32:26,500 --> 00:32:29,900
very hard for a lot of people to
Blue to think of or to think.
526
00:32:30,100 --> 00:32:32,500
Right?
Or believe, especially
527
00:32:32,500 --> 00:32:33,900
especially, when you think about
it, there you go.
528
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,400
Especially when you think of
biology, right?
529
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:40,900
It just doesn't work.
So, Kappa, the Kappa is
530
00:32:40,900 --> 00:32:44,200
something that as far as I
understand, I don't really know
531
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:48,600
what, you know, the people in.
Japan right.
532
00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:51,700
Japanese right?
I don't know what people in
533
00:32:51,700 --> 00:32:54,900
Japan think of it.
From what I understand.
534
00:32:54,900 --> 00:32:58,200
This is mythology.
It's not technically meant to be
535
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:03,300
a Cryptid as it is to be a
figure of lore.
536
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:09,900
I'm going to blow your mind.
Your brain is going to melt your
537
00:33:09,900 --> 00:33:11,200
shirt.
Go down was going to fall right
538
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,200
at your butt like app.
Is going to snatch it up and
539
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,700
beast on it.
Well, joke's on you.
540
00:33:16,700 --> 00:33:20,600
I'll never pay.
Again that's one way to do it
541
00:33:20,700 --> 00:33:22,700
like a like a, like a shield
around it.
542
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:30,300
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that even
the toilet attempt or the toilet
543
00:33:30,300 --> 00:33:34,500
attack version could still kill
a person but I don't think
544
00:33:34,500 --> 00:33:36,700
because I mean you're pulling
their soul from their body which
545
00:33:36,700 --> 00:33:42,400
I imagine isn't a good thing but
I don't think that it's
546
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,400
considered to be not as violent
because it's not like they they
547
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,700
get killed first And then it
pulls it out, it pulls it out
548
00:33:48,700 --> 00:33:53,500
while you're alive, which
depending on the length of the
549
00:33:53,500 --> 00:33:57,500
death, I mean, it could be
worse, I guess.
550
00:33:57,700 --> 00:34:00,300
Let's hope it's just like
instant death and you don't even
551
00:34:00,300 --> 00:34:04,200
feel instant death, but how big
is that?
552
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,800
Treecko are is not the well,
yeah, this Rico down.
553
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,800
Also the size of the Fist going
up in there and get it.
554
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,500
You know, hope we don't instant
death, don't steal anything.
555
00:34:14,500 --> 00:34:20,800
No, bigger than 5 feet tall.
And I mean, if my wife who is
556
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,800
like 51 52 if she pulled
something out of my butt, I had
557
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,900
no it I'd be like right?
You just did something right,
558
00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:31,800
I'm sure Elvis do it too.
You just took my life force.
559
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,699
That's how that's how I was tied
in case.
560
00:34:36,699 --> 00:34:38,900
You didn't know it.
Was that, yes, the Kappa.
561
00:34:43,100 --> 00:34:44,800
All righty.
If you're ready, we're going to
562
00:34:44,808 --> 00:34:48,000
get into the few sightings Let's
do it.
563
00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:53,100
Okay.
Now clearly this is folklore or
564
00:34:53,100 --> 00:34:57,200
mythology, but that doesn't stop
the existing the existence of
565
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:01,400
sightings which are rare in
these modern times but still do
566
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,200
occur in some remote areas of
Japan whether legitimate or
567
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:09,100
fabricated.
However, unlike ancient folklore
568
00:35:09,100 --> 00:35:12,800
in most places around the world,
in Japan, it's not uncommon to
569
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,100
see signs near rivers, warning
of the Kappa.
570
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:25,900
Our first sighting comes from
Tsushima, a town and Nagasaki on
571
00:35:25,900 --> 00:35:33,300
August 1st. 1984 Rai you Sheree.
Ozaki a squid, fisherman was
572
00:35:33,300 --> 00:35:38,400
walking home along appear at 11
p.m. while he was passing the
573
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,200
Cuda River.
He noticed a group of children
574
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,800
playing in the Moonlight which
was odd side note.
575
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,800
It was not uncommon to see
people fishing at night,
576
00:35:48,900 --> 00:35:51,400
although sing children.
Now, playing at night,
577
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:56,300
especially in, or around a river
would have been extremely odd.
578
00:35:56,900 --> 00:36:00,200
Because of drownings as he
approached the children, he
579
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,700
quickly realized that they had
strange features and long
580
00:36:03,700 --> 00:36:07,400
spindly arms with legs, right?
You called out to them and the
581
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,700
children became startled and ran
into the water.
582
00:36:11,700 --> 00:36:15,700
The next day, he returned to the
same spot and found slimy
583
00:36:15,700 --> 00:36:18,200
teardrop.
Shaped put footprints on the
584
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,000
ground.
They measured approximately.
585
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,300
Similarly, 10 inches long and 5
inches wide, and we're spread
586
00:36:23,300 --> 00:36:26,800
two feet apart.
He suspected that the prints
587
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,800
belong to the Kappa soon.
Onlookers, gathered around.
588
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,600
See what the fuss was about and
quickly.
589
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,600
The whole town was bustling with
talk about the prince and of the
590
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,200
Kappa.
Being found at the river.
591
00:36:37,700 --> 00:36:40,800
Local police came to investigate
and the forensic investigation
592
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:45,300
team took samples for analysis
of the liquid, and the results
593
00:36:45,300 --> 00:36:51,700
came back inconclusive Next one,
Kappa remains.
594
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:57,300
Hmm on May 30th 2014.
An article came out on Daily
595
00:36:57,300 --> 00:37:02,000
Mail, .co.uk under Science, Tech
titled are these, the bones of a
596
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,400
water, demon remains of the
mythological Kappa to go on,
597
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,100
show in Japan, pictured in the
Articles.
598
00:37:08,100 --> 00:37:11,400
What appears to be a mummified
hand and a foot from a Kappa.
599
00:37:11,700 --> 00:37:15,000
With a description of what a
Kappa is in the circumstances
600
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,400
around the mysterious items
quoted from the article.
601
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,100
Scientists have not managed to
confirm the existence of the
602
00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:24,100
creature.
Despite the fact that numerous
603
00:37:24,100 --> 00:37:26,800
Bones have been discovered that
are said to belong to the Kappa,
604
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,100
one set of mummified remains,
which seemed which seemed to
605
00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:35,900
show a webbed hand is going on
show, show for the first time in
606
00:37:35,900 --> 00:37:43,000
the Miaka no-show Shimizu
Residence Inn.
607
00:37:44,500 --> 00:37:49,600
Miyazaki prefecture on the
island of Kyushu.
608
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,200
Whoo, The Remains were given to
the.
609
00:37:54,500 --> 00:37:55,700
I'm just going to call him the
MS.
610
00:37:55,700 --> 00:38:00,400
Family, after a Kappa was shot
on the riverbank and 1818.
611
00:38:01,100 --> 00:38:06,500
The foot measures around 3
inches and the arm 5 inches, but
612
00:38:06,500 --> 00:38:10,400
no experts have claimed, they
are real, nor have stated, the
613
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,000
bones are called, but no experts
have claimed there.
614
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,300
Real nor have stated the bones
are cobbled together to look
615
00:38:17,300 --> 00:38:21,400
monstrous and there are no plans
to have them examined either.
616
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:32,400
so, if you guys look that up and
I will as usual Hey buddy, bear
617
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,100
with us while we take this quick
break.
618
00:38:38,300 --> 00:38:43,500
Have a link to that website in
the under the description for
619
00:38:43,500 --> 00:38:46,600
the audio only versions.
You'll get to see a picture of
620
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:52,600
it and then also will include
one here and they definitely
621
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,000
look like, it looks like a
mummified hand and a foot that
622
00:38:56,900 --> 00:38:58,600
probably doesn't belong to a
person.
623
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,800
And we'll talk more about it
later on and I have some closing
624
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,500
thoughts on it in my remarks
but, you know, I'd like to hear
625
00:39:07,500 --> 00:39:12,800
you guys as But so next, I send
you guys a link to a YouTube
626
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:17,100
video from 2011, in which a
group of Japanese locals are
627
00:39:17,100 --> 00:39:20,600
recording a tsunami striking.
Land while standing on a balcony
628
00:39:21,100 --> 00:39:24,000
in this video, there appears to
be some kind of Bing actually.
629
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,500
There's two of them, one of his
in the very beginning and the
630
00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:31,700
second one happens kind of in
the middle of the video, a being
631
00:39:31,700 --> 00:39:35,600
that climbs out of the water and
up the side of a house and then
632
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:40,100
disappears, obviously the It
could be fake or mistaken
633
00:39:40,100 --> 00:39:45,000
identity, which a lot of the,
the comments I've seen on this
634
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,100
could be, but that's pretty much
up to you to decide on that
635
00:39:49,100 --> 00:39:52,700
because information on the video
is incredibly scarce.
636
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,500
But I saw it.
I was just like, huh?
637
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,400
I got it it got a good solid.
Huh?
638
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,700
For me?
And again, the link will be in
639
00:40:03,700 --> 00:40:06,300
the description.
So anyone that's listening to
640
00:40:06,300 --> 00:40:10,400
this can just pull it up.
But if you go onto YouTube and
641
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:15,200
you look up Kappa tsunami,
you'll more than likely find it
642
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,200
right away.
It's about a four and a half
643
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,100
minute long video.
Do you have a time stamp for
644
00:40:20,100 --> 00:40:23,900
when this supposed to, it's like
a minute and a half in?
645
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,000
They slow it down a bunch of
times.
646
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,000
The rest of the video is
literally like a slower version
647
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,200
and a slower version in the
slower version of it so you can
648
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:33,700
get a real good.
Look at it.
649
00:40:33,700 --> 00:40:36,800
You know I'm saying it's with
his shitty camera though, right?
650
00:40:37,100 --> 00:40:38,600
Yeah.
Yeah.
651
00:40:38,700 --> 00:40:42,100
I was going to say this video is
kind of distorted.
652
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,200
Hmm.
What year was this?
653
00:40:44,900 --> 00:40:48,800
This video is from 2011.
So I see something that seemed
654
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,600
looks like it.
Exits the water yet.
655
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,600
Oh I see them right up inside
the building and then disappears
656
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,400
at the top, there's actually
another one.
657
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:03,400
If you look underneath the ATS
one minute 36 seconds, it's
658
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,300
Baker's green tree right there.
Look underneath it and you'll
659
00:41:06,300 --> 00:41:09,700
see the same thing come out from
Um, the bottom of the tree.
660
00:41:09,700 --> 00:41:12,800
It's very, very brief, but it
almost looks like a wave but
661
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:17,200
then it comes up and it goes
right up on the wall and then
662
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:21,800
getting further into the video
at one minute and 58 seconds.
663
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:26,900
They start slowing it down and
then you see this thing come
664
00:41:26,900 --> 00:41:29,900
out.
So I'm okay.
665
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,600
I'm going to make a connection
here to something else.
666
00:41:34,100 --> 00:41:38,900
I don't know if it's the same
tsunami, do you get into The
667
00:41:38,900 --> 00:41:43,000
tsunami itself at all.
No you don't.
668
00:41:43,100 --> 00:41:48,900
I see it now.
He's like two minutes 36
669
00:41:48,900 --> 00:41:50,900
seconds, it just comes right.
Out goes right onto that Red
670
00:41:50,900 --> 00:41:56,000
Roof top of the building.
So it's interesting, right?
671
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:01,900
But what I'm thinking, Okay, so
Geez I wish I could fact check
672
00:42:01,900 --> 00:42:04,200
this really quick.
I could, but I'm going to go
673
00:42:04,207 --> 00:42:06,000
ahead and spit it out.
Anyways, whether it sounds dumb
674
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,100
or not maybe somebody else can
quickly type in some stuff real
675
00:42:09,100 --> 00:42:12,200
quick.
But when Unsolved Mysteries
676
00:42:12,300 --> 00:42:16,400
restarted I want to say it was
either season one or season 2.
677
00:42:17,300 --> 00:42:22,900
There was an episode that they
did on the tsunami in Japan in
678
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,800
20 some time in that area or
sometime in that time frame.
679
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:36,200
I wonder if this is the same
one, because this tsunami
680
00:42:36,900 --> 00:42:41,200
afterwards, the whole area was
extremely delighted.
681
00:42:41,500 --> 00:42:42,900
Yeah.
The one where it was all that
682
00:42:42,900 --> 00:42:46,300
goes for showing up because you
helped, like, I like a million
683
00:42:46,300 --> 00:42:47,900
people or something.
Yes.
684
00:42:47,900 --> 00:42:51,500
Like, 100,000 people curious, if
this is tied into that all.
685
00:42:51,700 --> 00:42:55,500
I wonder if it's the same
tsunami, because 2011, sounds
686
00:42:55,500 --> 00:42:59,400
right?
Where did you say this hit?
687
00:43:01,500 --> 00:43:06,500
Whatever the video says, it's
just super vague.
688
00:43:06,500 --> 00:43:11,000
I try to do a dive into sing
like we're what the videos
689
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,900
sources were but here at the
very beginning, it just has a
690
00:43:15,900 --> 00:43:22,500
little brief thing and it says,
taken from real footage strange
691
00:43:22,500 --> 00:43:25,700
creature found during the
tsunami of 2011.
692
00:43:26,100 --> 00:43:30,600
The I'm going to butcher this
the tohoku earthquake Making
693
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:34,400
tsunami in 2011, not ringing any
bells.
694
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,500
Yep, that's it.
Okay, so I just found, I'm on
695
00:43:38,700 --> 00:43:43,800
March 11th of 2011,
refinery29.com right here.
696
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,400
Word-for-word the first
paragraph says, Unsolved
697
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,800
Mysteries is known for
incorporating, a good ghost
698
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,500
story now and then, and in
volume 2 of Netflix's on solve
699
00:43:51,500 --> 00:43:54,700
Mysteries of the long-running
series, we may have just found
700
00:43:54,700 --> 00:43:57,500
one of its most tragic and
compelling ghost stories to date
701
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,900
the episode and all of the
paranormal sightings Take place
702
00:44:00,900 --> 00:44:03,800
on Northeastern Japan's tohoku
region.
703
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,500
It seems that for every story
there is an attempt, an
704
00:44:07,500 --> 00:44:13,400
explanation on March 11th. 2011,
a magnitude 9 earthquake struck
705
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,300
off the coast of Japan.
This is not me that follows
706
00:44:15,300 --> 00:44:19,700
shortly after devastated, the
coast and nearly nearby Inland
707
00:44:19,700 --> 00:44:22,200
areas waves, reach the maximum
blah, blah blah blah.
708
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:26,100
Okay.
Movie about this in total about
709
00:44:26,100 --> 00:44:28,700
20,000 lives, were reported
lost.
710
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,400
So that The tsunami that we're
looking at.
711
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,400
Right here is the exact same
one.
712
00:44:34,700 --> 00:44:40,500
This is this is right here in
the description of this YouTube
713
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,400
video.
It is from March.
714
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:47,200
The this is from the tsunami
from March 11, 2011, this is the
715
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:52,300
same same exact tsunami as all
the hauntings in the Unsolved,
716
00:44:52,300 --> 00:44:57,100
Mysteries episode So could it be
a Kappa?
717
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,300
Probably not?
Could it be something could be?
718
00:45:01,100 --> 00:45:03,500
I personally don't think it's
Kappa.
719
00:45:03,500 --> 00:45:08,200
It just looks more like a white
sheet to me some more know
720
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,200
because it does look like it
disappears or dissipates.
721
00:45:11,500 --> 00:45:14,700
The only thing, the only thing.
Other than that, the only thing
722
00:45:14,700 --> 00:45:18,600
for me is like it's got a very
specific movement to it, which
723
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:22,600
if this were just a sheet it
wouldn't I don't think wavy Soul
724
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:23,900
specific.
Yeah.
725
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,900
Like it's on Very specific
Direction, it's moving very
726
00:45:26,900 --> 00:45:30,400
specifically.
It's not if this were your she
727
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,900
could be gone like they wouldn't
be climbing up a wall.
728
00:45:33,900 --> 00:45:37,000
Right place is I'm what my
thought was?
729
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,500
Maybe it was like a fire
extinguisher that was caught in
730
00:45:39,500 --> 00:45:43,600
the in the wave or something.
Some something that may have
731
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:48,300
liked It not necessarily
exploded but given off like some
732
00:45:48,300 --> 00:45:55,100
kind of poof of gases of some
kind for just, you know what?
733
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:59,000
Because of the perspective of
the camera, maybe the angle of
734
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,400
the way that it's traveling with
the wind, and maybe it's some
735
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,100
kind of optical illusion as
well.
736
00:46:04,100 --> 00:46:06,300
Because everything else is
moving this way with the flood
737
00:46:06,300 --> 00:46:11,800
of water, so it might just be
tricking the, you know, it
738
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,800
certainly does look like it just
stays there for a second.
739
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,800
As it moves, whatever this black
square, is, it looks like a
740
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,800
garage door, but that's what I'm
going to call it, right.
741
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,600
A garage door.
It's like the the white that the
742
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,400
quote, unquote Kappa, or Spirit
comes out of the water.
743
00:46:29,700 --> 00:46:33,900
And then as with the flow of
water, the point of origin where
744
00:46:33,900 --> 00:46:38,800
it's tied to the water, still
floats in front or to the other
745
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,600
side of this garage door and
then it dissipates in the air.
746
00:46:43,300 --> 00:46:44,800
That's exactly what it looks
like Jeff.
747
00:46:44,900 --> 00:46:48,100
It does look like a fire
extinguisher or some sort
748
00:46:48,100 --> 00:46:52,000
something along those lines went
off there.
749
00:46:52,100 --> 00:46:53,800
I mean, it could have been
anything, who knows?
750
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,300
I mean, just oh yeah.
There's another one back there,
751
00:46:56,300 --> 00:46:58,100
too.
They're going off all over the
752
00:46:58,100 --> 00:47:00,600
place in this.
In this video.
753
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:04,100
The yeah, there's another one
over in the left and I don't
754
00:47:04,100 --> 00:47:07,600
know I'm talking like you guys
can see my screen?
755
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,600
Yeah I know there's one right
there.
756
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,800
There was one right in the
beginning of the video.
757
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,400
Underneath that first green tree
that really big one.
758
00:47:15,500 --> 00:47:17,700
Sitting right there.
You can see it basically.
759
00:47:17,700 --> 00:47:21,800
I think it like a minute and it
looks like it just very quickly
760
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:26,500
just Let me see if it comes up.
No.
761
00:47:26,500 --> 00:47:29,100
Do you watch it enough times?
And it's definitely just the
762
00:47:29,100 --> 00:47:31,600
splashing of the wave or
something, it just it's
763
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,700
crashing, just right?
And it's catching the air and
764
00:47:34,700 --> 00:47:37,600
it's just a spirit thing.
So, so look like to this
765
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,500
people's.
Yeah, I don't think that it is.
766
00:47:43,500 --> 00:47:48,900
But that's unfortunately, I
think the best evidence for it
767
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:53,500
was the bones.
Other.
768
00:47:53,500 --> 00:47:55,800
I'm just going to come out and
say it and I'll just reiterate
769
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:57,500
when it comes to the final
thoughts.
770
00:47:58,300 --> 00:48:05,600
The fact that look, there's been
some definitely some interesting
771
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,400
stuff that have come out of that
region.
772
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:11,600
Like monkeys soand fish that are
supposed to have like, you know,
773
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:16,200
Eternal powers and stuff like
you eat them and you turn and
774
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:20,700
you become stand mermaids.
You can't die now and whatever,
775
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,900
you know.
And there's just like There's
776
00:48:22,900 --> 00:48:26,500
all kinds of stuff.
So yeah, I think that they
777
00:48:26,500 --> 00:48:29,700
actually belong to something and
I can not like a model or
778
00:48:29,700 --> 00:48:33,800
anything, but the fact that the
person like refuses to let them
779
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:39,200
be studied, definitely brings in
some doubt.
780
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:44,600
And then getting into this, this
lore about the sidings,
781
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:49,800
specifically for the Kappa,
again, I'm going to tie it in
782
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,600
this, very next section.
I'm going to tie it into other
783
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,200
things.
But specifically for the Kappa,
784
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:00,800
a lot of Link's saying that
their sightings not a lot of
785
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:09,800
links saying what the sightings
are and even like that whole,
786
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:16,100
you know, ryu's in the children,
you know, in quotes plan in the
787
00:49:16,100 --> 00:49:17,800
river.
And then they go into it and
788
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,300
they seized a teardrop
Footprints and then gets the
789
00:49:20,300 --> 00:49:23,400
authorities on it.
Like, I don't Know exactly.
790
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:27,400
How to fact-check that from a
completely different country and
791
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:31,200
see like, oh let's pull up their
public records to see, you know,
792
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,500
and I'll just learn Japanese
real quick and we'll find out if
793
00:49:34,500 --> 00:49:36,600
this is an actual real police
report.
794
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:42,000
So, unfortunately, with a lot of
the things we don't, you know,
795
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:43,800
and it's maybe a surprise that
listeners.
796
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,300
But we don't really, you know,
if I'm pulling up a source from
797
00:49:47,300 --> 00:49:51,600
like You know, whatever sort of
country that doesn't speak
798
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,900
English.
I'm not looking in their public
799
00:49:53,900 --> 00:49:56,700
records to make sure that this
is an actual place report that
800
00:49:56,700 --> 00:49:59,000
actually happened versus just a
story that someone put on a
801
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,000
website.
Unfortunately, we kind of just
802
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:04,600
go with what we have.
And in this case, for the Kappa,
803
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,100
there may be local Legends if
someone's listening to this and
804
00:50:08,100 --> 00:50:11,900
they are from Japan or live in
Japan currently and they know of
805
00:50:11,900 --> 00:50:15,000
local Legends and they have
sources, that's great.
806
00:50:15,700 --> 00:50:19,100
Me it having sources that are
translated It into English is
807
00:50:19,100 --> 00:50:23,800
not good, you know.
So is definitely lens into that
808
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:30,000
it is just mythology although
it's hilarious mythology and I
809
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:36,200
love it.
I am not gonna sit here and like
810
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,400
this is the hill, I'm dying on
the cap exist, that's not me.
811
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:43,900
But this is still hilarious and
I had to do an episode on it.
812
00:50:43,900 --> 00:50:46,100
Like, even if it was a short
episode, not all of our episodes
813
00:50:46,100 --> 00:50:47,900
have to be two and a half hours
long.
814
00:50:48,300 --> 00:50:51,000
So, you know, give the listeners
something to just kind of munch
815
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,500
on for a little bit and then and
dip out, but it's just like, I
816
00:50:54,500 --> 00:50:56,800
had to do an episode on it.
Like I was thinking about doing
817
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:58,500
a loved one frog monster.
I was like, oh no, this is way
818
00:50:58,500 --> 00:51:01,400
better.
Her Lovin Frogman you like this
819
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,100
way better.
So let's, let's talk about that
820
00:51:04,100 --> 00:51:06,000
for a second.
Do you go into that at all?
821
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:08,700
Not that one specifically?
No.
822
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,600
All right, well, that has been
something that's been tied to
823
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:15,400
the Kappa, right?
Any one of these amphibious or
824
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,000
yeah, I go into some, some
invidious.
825
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,000
Things.
But we'll just talk about the
826
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:22,900
love and Frogman for a minute,
right?
827
00:51:22,900 --> 00:51:24,700
Because we're not going to go
too deep into it because
828
00:51:24,700 --> 00:51:29,600
eventually we will cover it
because it is definitely a
829
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,500
decent Cryptid.
Well how about I read this
830
00:51:33,500 --> 00:51:36,400
section and then we get back
into that and then all the other
831
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,100
ones I'm going to bring up.
Okay well those do that then
832
00:51:39,100 --> 00:51:41,200
fuck me.
All right let's do that.
833
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:45,900
Y'all ready for us to do that?
My right there better be, but
834
00:51:45,900 --> 00:51:53,200
stuff in this Jake.
Well now yes, what it could be
835
00:51:53,300 --> 00:51:56,800
and other Cryptids.
And and here we go, we're going
836
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,800
to get right into the boogeyman
aspect.
837
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,900
A warning to children.
It's possible that the whole
838
00:52:03,900 --> 00:52:07,600
legend of the Kappa was made up
as some kind of Boogeyman to
839
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,800
keep unwatched children for
wondering too close to bodies of
840
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,500
water.
No doubt threats have been
841
00:52:13,500 --> 00:52:20,200
killed or kidnapped and eaten.
By the Kappa would have
842
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:25,200
prevented a great number of
child drownings or the Kappa
843
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,500
more served as a threat to
naughty children.
844
00:52:28,100 --> 00:52:30,800
Eat your fish or the cap will
rip your life force out of your
845
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:32,600
butthole.
The next time you try to poop
846
00:52:32,900 --> 00:52:41,200
one of the classics, Aliens,
aliens, the History Channel did
847
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,100
an episode on the Kappa for
their Ancient Alien series.
848
00:52:44,100 --> 00:52:46,200
Season 10 episode 7 is very
brief.
849
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:50,000
Is maybe 20 minutes many
researchers who look for
850
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,300
evidence of aliens agree that
the capital with its incredible
851
00:52:53,300 --> 00:52:56,200
intelligence and ability to
speak despite having a beak
852
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:59,100
could be extraterrestrial or
interdimensional.
853
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:03,000
Also, it's theorized that they
could utilize the water as
854
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,300
portals to come to Earth to feed
on humans.
855
00:53:05,900 --> 00:53:09,100
Plus if you consider the whole,
but whole thing is, certainly
856
00:53:09,100 --> 00:53:11,200
seems to parallel
extraterrestrials with their
857
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:16,400
Obsession for removing cow
anuses and their organs look,
858
00:53:16,900 --> 00:53:20,200
you're looking for parallels,
that's a great one right there,
859
00:53:22,100 --> 00:53:26,600
natural amphibians Japanese
giant salamanders grow to an
860
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,900
impressive, five feet long and
can weigh as much as fifty.
861
00:53:29,900 --> 00:53:32,400
Five pounds, you guys Google.
It, they're actually pretty
862
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,300
crazy looking have similar
colored skin.
863
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,800
Skin and reside in the same
areas that as the Kappa is, said
864
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:42,200
to exist, bodies of water.
The salamanders have been
865
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,400
observed, grabbing small, prey
animals, and dragging them into
866
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,200
the water.
But are they big enough to
867
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,500
snatch up a child or kill an
adult?
868
00:53:49,500 --> 00:53:53,500
I don't think so, but still,
it's a very impressive creature
869
00:53:53,500 --> 00:53:57,000
in definitely could be an origin
for the legend of the Kappa.
870
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:02,600
Other cryptozoological, Bings,
or folklore, along with the
871
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,800
alien idea.
There's a great number of other
872
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:10,100
fish and amphibian deities from
the ancient world where the
873
00:54:10,100 --> 00:54:13,800
bangs were described as having
fallen from the sky and
874
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:18,200
immediately sought out bodies of
water deities, such as the Nomo,
875
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,700
for the dogon people, from Mali,
the name Mo.
876
00:54:21,700 --> 00:54:28,000
No mo translated to make one
drink and they were Amphibious
877
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,900
creatures with a humanoid upper
toast torso and a fish-like
878
00:54:31,900 --> 00:54:34,500
tail.
Also it should be noted that
879
00:54:34,500 --> 00:54:37,300
there seems to be a parallel
between the legends of the nommo
880
00:54:37,300 --> 00:54:41,900
Kappa and mermaids.
Or the Mesopotamian awareness
881
00:54:41,900 --> 00:54:44,900
deity with its fish.
Like humanoid body.
882
00:54:45,100 --> 00:54:48,900
That taught mankind, writing
Arts and Science though.
883
00:54:48,900 --> 00:54:52,100
The oh anise weren't hostile.
And were instead said to be
884
00:54:52,100 --> 00:54:55,900
helpful beings.
So were the Kappa sometimes
885
00:54:56,500 --> 00:54:59,600
other lure of amphibious
humanoids that were said to be
886
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:01,800
hostile to humans and kill
children.
887
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:06,600
Were the Sigh Okoye from the
Philippine mythology?
888
00:55:06,900 --> 00:55:11,900
The slavik vanilla.
Body annoy and then the Nixie
889
00:55:11,900 --> 00:55:16,500
from German fairy tales and the
Russian blatnick and many others
890
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,500
with the similarities, across
the world.
891
00:55:19,500 --> 00:55:23,300
We seem to get into the same
realm of either being a popular
892
00:55:23,300 --> 00:55:27,400
fear of water passed, down
Legends, or that there's a real
893
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,000
element behind them.
What do you guys think?
894
00:55:32,500 --> 00:55:38,400
I think that there is probably
The I think there's always a
895
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,300
real element behind old
mythology.
896
00:55:41,300 --> 00:55:43,900
She's right.
So maybe these beings are
897
00:55:43,900 --> 00:55:48,000
beings, like this may have
existed at some point and that's
898
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,900
kind of where the stems from.
You know, who knows?
899
00:55:53,900 --> 00:55:56,400
It's a weird creature though.
The fact that he spilled the
900
00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:02,100
water out of its head and it's
just stuck out.
901
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:05,800
How would you evolve that way if
evolution is what they say?
902
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,200
Well usually they're talking
about human evolution, not alien
903
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:12,500
Evolution, not just evolution in
general, like yeah, would evolve
904
00:56:12,500 --> 00:56:17,600
to a survive with such a A
weakness.
905
00:56:18,700 --> 00:56:21,000
That's like us with our
weaknesses of like bleeding to
906
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,000
death, and stuff are no papers
during skin cream, you just
907
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:26,500
spill your head, you turn your
head or how do these you know
908
00:56:26,500 --> 00:56:28,000
I'm saying.
Like if you're not in the river
909
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:29,600
and you dip your head over your
screwed.
910
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,400
If you're a fish and you come
out of the water and you can't
911
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:34,600
breathe and you screwed, you
know.
912
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,200
But I agree with you evolution
is fake anyway.
913
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:45,600
I think that this is cool right
nowhere, near real know where
914
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:55,500
has it ever was But I do find
some very interesting ties to
915
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,900
American lore mythologies and
Cryptids, right?
916
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:05,100
So one is the Loveland frogmen
to is the Bishopville.
917
00:57:05,300 --> 00:57:09,900
Lizard Man of scape scape scape
Oar.
918
00:57:09,900 --> 00:57:11,500
That's right.
I believe it's scape.
919
00:57:11,500 --> 00:57:19,500
Ore swamp in South Carolina so
there's there are Our other
920
00:57:19,500 --> 00:57:23,000
Cryptids, right?
I know it's just a big turtle,
921
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,100
but like the Beast of Busco is
another one.
922
00:57:26,300 --> 00:57:30,400
I was going to mention that one.
Just, it's just a giant turtle,
923
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,900
right?
Michael, what about Michelangelo
924
00:57:33,900 --> 00:57:36,400
of New York.
Shut your face.
925
00:57:36,500 --> 00:57:40,900
Ha ha ha.
I love it so, but maybe it's
926
00:57:40,900 --> 00:57:45,200
just like a fear of amphibians
slimy gross skin.
927
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:50,300
You know, eating bugs.
I I think that this is a
928
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:52,900
boogeyman thing and that's it.
Right?
929
00:57:52,900 --> 00:57:55,500
And it does make sense.
Like you said, there would be
930
00:57:55,500 --> 00:57:57,100
that aha moment.
Yes.
931
00:57:57,100 --> 00:57:59,300
There was that.
Aha moment because you know, you
932
00:57:59,300 --> 00:58:00,800
want to keep your kids away from
the water.
933
00:58:01,300 --> 00:58:03,500
Do you not even think that it's
possible that maybe there was
934
00:58:03,500 --> 00:58:10,000
like a large turtle that, you
know, used to eat people back
935
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:13,100
like a thousands of years ago
that became mythology and turned
936
00:58:13,100 --> 00:58:16,300
into the story.
Do I believe that there were
937
00:58:16,300 --> 00:58:19,000
creatures around?
There are no longer Well, no,
938
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:22,100
not not, even not even on just a
sec just a big-ass dinosaur.
939
00:58:22,100 --> 00:58:24,000
Big snap, I mean, do you
honestly they're snapping
940
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,100
turtles big megafauna snow.
Listen, let me be honest with
941
00:58:27,100 --> 00:58:28,600
you.
They're snapping turtles alive
942
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,700
right now that could eat a
child.
943
00:58:31,100 --> 00:58:34,100
Oh yeah.
Absolutely 100% without some of
944
00:58:34,107 --> 00:58:38,100
those are there mean fuckers to?
Yeah so just you know you go
945
00:58:38,100 --> 00:58:41,600
back 10,000 years right?
We had big animals, there could
946
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:45,000
have very well been some kind of
turtle creature that just would
947
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:48,200
snatch people up if you were
fucking around and maybe they
948
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:51,400
were Goofy to maybe they just
maybe they were dumb right and
949
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:53,500
Goofy or maybe the I don't know.
You know what I'm saying?
950
00:58:53,500 --> 00:58:57,700
So like they have like they got
this lure built up around them,
951
00:58:57,700 --> 00:59:01,300
you know, and over 10,000 years.
It became this, this thing that
952
00:59:01,300 --> 00:59:04,500
we're talking about, you know,
keep in mind, this folklore came
953
00:59:04,500 --> 00:59:10,100
from the Edo area era from, you
know, I, that's what I said from
954
00:59:10,100 --> 00:59:13,900
between the 16 in the 1800's
like 1603.
955
00:59:13,900 --> 00:59:17,500
So this isn't like, this was a,
you know, that that doesn't
956
00:59:17,500 --> 00:59:20,600
necessarily mean that.
The that's just when they can go
957
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:24,200
back and say like this is when
this was, you know, started this
958
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:25,600
folklore.
But that doesn't mean that there
959
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:29,100
wasn't some other shit that
might have some small little
960
00:59:29,100 --> 00:59:32,600
thing, you know, similar to it.
That goes back to free, the
961
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:35,600
great scheme of it and stuff.
Like, where did Sandhya come
962
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:39,500
from?
Originally the entire time,
963
00:59:39,500 --> 00:59:43,700
especially, when you started
talking about its connection to
964
00:59:43,700 --> 00:59:47,500
mermaids, I actually opened up
my mermaid document and I'm
965
00:59:47,500 --> 00:59:51,800
trying to sift Through my thing
about the ningyou here this all
966
00:59:53,100 --> 00:59:57,700
I'm seeing some correlations
here because all of this took
967
00:59:57,700 --> 01:00:01,200
place in the 80 period, the
ningyou that whole story there,
968
01:00:01,500 --> 01:00:05,400
I'm definitely seeing some
correlations here in the whole
969
01:00:06,300 --> 01:00:10,700
like mythology aspect of it.
Like there's definitely
970
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:14,400
something here stuff happened,
right.
971
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:22,000
When was the time period?
6800 1867 as I just thought of
972
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:24,300
something that goes way deep we
go off on.
973
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:27,500
Let's go.
Hold on.
974
01:00:27,700 --> 01:00:30,400
Just just saying Google will get
back to you there for a second
975
01:00:30,700 --> 01:00:34,200
but I agree with what he first
said, right 1600s?
976
01:00:34,500 --> 01:00:35,800
That could just be written
history.
977
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,000
There could be something from
way before, then before, with
978
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:42,200
written history, that we don't
just don't have access to prove.
979
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:45,400
That there was any kind of
Mythology, lure stories from
980
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:46,900
that time period.
Right?
981
01:00:46,900 --> 01:00:49,200
So this could be a lot older
than that and that goes for a
982
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:51,800
lot of other things.
As for what kinds are was saying
983
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:55,000
where it's tied into with, what
the ninyo, right menu?
984
01:00:55,000 --> 01:01:01,000
Oh yeah, you know, I mean, When
you look at these Boogeyman type
985
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:05,400
creatures or stories, there's
ties everywhere everywhere.
986
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,500
I mean there's a different
region, different story, right.
987
01:01:08,500 --> 01:01:11,300
We talked about all these Boogie
Men from all around the world,
988
01:01:11,300 --> 01:01:16,000
that will snatch a child and
take them away and throw them in
989
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:20,800
the pits of hell.
I mean, literally 50% of the,
990
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:25,000
the boogeyman lore from around
the world involves just that.
991
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,800
So and then, you know, it was a
story of don't give in to
992
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:31,400
Temptation, or If you eat the
fish are going to live forever,
993
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,800
right?
Similar sort of idea.
994
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:42,100
So I still don't think like
there was the Kappa itself I can
995
01:01:42,100 --> 01:01:47,200
see it evolving through time
just you know like Jeff was
996
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:51,800
saying that this could have been
something like a some sort of
997
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:54,800
megafauna or some sort.
Right.
998
01:01:55,500 --> 01:01:57,900
I don't believe that there was
anything bipedal because
999
01:01:57,900 --> 01:02:01,200
bipedalism Um is something that
is very human.
1000
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:05,200
It's like in in the animal
kingdom.
1001
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:07,000
Yeah.
But he could have reared up, you
1002
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,400
know, right.
I understand.
1003
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:13,600
But when you take when you take
Cryptids out of out of the mix
1004
01:02:13,900 --> 01:02:18,400
right name, any other animal
that's strictly bipedal nothing?
1005
01:02:18,700 --> 01:02:20,200
Right?
And if you look at the the
1006
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:24,800
pictures and the paintings of
these Kappa, yes, they do seem
1007
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:28,500
to be bending over.
At time to pick something up.
1008
01:02:28,500 --> 01:02:32,500
Like, I remember one painting
was particular about pulling a
1009
01:02:32,500 --> 01:02:37,400
limb out of the river was one
thing, but for the most part,
1010
01:02:37,500 --> 01:02:40,100
they're standing up right there
there by people.
1011
01:02:40,100 --> 01:02:43,000
I just don't see that.
It's bipedalism isn't something
1012
01:02:43,300 --> 01:02:46,900
that is reptilian or amphibious
until you get into
1013
01:02:46,900 --> 01:02:50,300
cryptozoology.
When you talk about reptilians
1014
01:02:50,300 --> 01:02:55,100
or aliens such as the reptilians
or where or when you get into
1015
01:02:55,100 --> 01:03:01,000
like the scape ore swamp monster
of Bishopville South Carolina or
1016
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,700
the Loveland frogmen.
Then you start getting it by P
1017
01:03:04,700 --> 01:03:09,800
lism bipedalism.
Now, this is where the, we can
1018
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:14,200
go down the tangent of the
Aquatic ape Theory as to why
1019
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:18,900
humans are bipedal, right?
Did because we're made the swing
1020
01:03:19,100 --> 01:03:22,300
this, you did.
We come from water, right,
1021
01:03:25,300 --> 01:03:26,300
right.
We did.
1022
01:03:26,700 --> 01:03:29,000
Each, which is the tied to the
Kappa.
1023
01:03:29,300 --> 01:03:37,700
So but there are a lot of
different pygmy people from
1024
01:03:37,700 --> 01:03:41,400
around the world as well.
Could this be a pygmy human,
1025
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:44,900
right?
A small human not a Bigfoot but
1026
01:03:44,900 --> 01:03:50,300
the but the other way a lot of
people forget that cryptozoology
1027
01:03:50,300 --> 01:03:54,300
and myth all mythological
beings, don't only go up in
1028
01:03:54,300 --> 01:03:55,800
size.
They also go down in size and
1029
01:03:55,808 --> 01:03:58,800
they're all lat.
Lot of reports of smaller,
1030
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:03,900
bipedal Apes, almost just as
much as there are big ones.
1031
01:04:03,900 --> 01:04:06,800
We just don't hear about them
very much because they're in
1032
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:11,300
Vietnam, like the via, the
Vietnamese stone stone, man.
1033
01:04:11,300 --> 01:04:13,300
There's just as many stories of
these things.
1034
01:04:13,300 --> 01:04:17,400
Being eight, nine feet, tall, 12
feet tall, as they are being two
1035
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:19,300
feet.
All right?
1036
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:25,200
So you have to remember that,
could this be a pygmy ape?
1037
01:04:26,700 --> 01:04:30,900
That just happened to be around
water more, like, more than more
1038
01:04:30,900 --> 01:04:36,500
than not, right?
There's there's some stuff, but
1039
01:04:36,500 --> 01:04:42,100
as the Kappa, as known as the
Kappa like what the Kappa is,
1040
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:48,100
No, I don't believe it.
We're weaving, you finish the
1041
01:04:48,100 --> 01:04:50,100
thing.
You're always already out here
1042
01:04:50,500 --> 01:04:54,500
just absolutely in it and stuff.
This is what we believed in that
1043
01:04:54,500 --> 01:04:57,100
last thing you ended that
paragraph with what do you guys
1044
01:04:57,100 --> 01:04:59,900
believe?
I said, what do you think you
1045
01:04:59,900 --> 01:05:03,700
guys you're acting just your
wiling out and I appreciate it
1046
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:08,900
but I appreciate you went on now
in Lawrence Schatz from the
1047
01:05:08,900 --> 01:05:13,300
masses good because down here
rabbit know your rabbit.
1048
01:05:13,300 --> 01:05:15,300
Yeah do it.
Oh yeah.
1049
01:05:16,700 --> 01:05:18,700
I mean, you pretty much
basically laid out what I was
1050
01:05:18,700 --> 01:05:23,100
going to say, not not in this
form, obviously, I don't think
1051
01:05:23,100 --> 01:05:26,300
that it exists.
But wait, there's something that
1052
01:05:26,300 --> 01:05:28,400
attaches to this lure that may
have existed.
1053
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,500
It could have just been a
megafauna like you said, giant
1054
01:05:30,500 --> 01:05:33,500
snapping turtle back in the day.
Maybe it was some inner earth
1055
01:05:33,500 --> 01:05:36,600
beings that had some armor that
they weren't able to understand
1056
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:38,900
so they were like they did some
kind of shell or something like
1057
01:05:38,900 --> 01:05:39,800
that.
I don't know.
1058
01:05:40,300 --> 01:05:43,200
You know it would maybe wasn't a
because a breathing apparatus.
1059
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,500
I don't know.
Maybe it was an ancient aliens
1060
01:05:45,500 --> 01:05:51,700
or some shit. but whatever it
was The Lure of it goes back
1061
01:05:51,700 --> 01:05:55,000
further than the 1600s and then
the 1600s thing is interesting,
1062
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,900
because that's when people talk
about mud flood, when they like
1063
01:05:59,100 --> 01:06:02,900
the world's history could have
been reset and all the knowledge
1064
01:06:02,900 --> 01:06:08,000
could have been Rewritten and
distributed and, you know, so
1065
01:06:08,100 --> 01:06:11,600
does Laura only going back that
far and its current state could
1066
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:14,800
just be because of of that just
like a lot of other things that
1067
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:17,300
point to that time frame is like
a Reset.
1068
01:06:19,100 --> 01:06:22,600
I'm I'm glad that you said it.
I was actually very surprised
1069
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:29,100
that no one had any comments on
like water type portals or
1070
01:06:29,500 --> 01:06:31,400
extraterrestrials or
interdimensional.
1071
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:35,900
And I'm just like, all right,
well, wasted episode or Earth
1072
01:06:35,900 --> 01:06:38,100
beings could have been
extraterrestrials could have
1073
01:06:38,100 --> 01:06:39,900
been inner Dimension, who knows?
Right.
1074
01:06:39,900 --> 01:06:43,400
But, you know, again, 10,000
years ago could have been you're
1075
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:45,300
not going to know what these are
right, though.
1076
01:06:45,500 --> 01:06:49,400
Humans in that era, warrant.
You wouldn't recognize a
1077
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:54,500
backpack with oxygen and a face,
you know, respirator thing on.
1078
01:06:54,500 --> 01:06:56,500
So you could breathe the
atmosphere, you would be like oh
1079
01:06:56,500 --> 01:07:01,500
that's a beak turtle man.
That's a also like reptilian and
1080
01:07:01,500 --> 01:07:04,600
some form because he has some
weird suit on that's like scaly
1081
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:07,500
and you know rubbery or some
shit you know.
1082
01:07:07,500 --> 01:07:09,000
So maybe that's.
Where is Ian?
1083
01:07:09,500 --> 01:07:14,000
Yeah that's interesting.
Is a time-traveling, scuba
1084
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:17,300
diver.
It's Cooper from, or from the
1085
01:07:17,300 --> 01:07:20,600
inner earth or an underwater,
maybe he's an underwater
1086
01:07:21,100 --> 01:07:24,500
intelligent, summation, Japanese
did that to other people, the
1087
01:07:24,500 --> 01:07:26,400
way that they designed their
armor and stuff.
1088
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:29,000
It was all psychological warfare
and stuff, because people think
1089
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:30,600
the demons were coming after
them.
1090
01:07:31,900 --> 01:07:34,000
Like, it was, they're doing it
to other people.
1091
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:36,800
Anyways, it's kind of like my
final thoughts on the whole
1092
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:39,300
thing, honestly.
But, you know, you asked so
1093
01:07:39,300 --> 01:07:44,300
that's pretty much it.
Pop culture.
1094
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:47,300
There we go.
I have a couple thoughts on this
1095
01:07:47,300 --> 01:07:51,800
too but yeah, this is the last
section.
1096
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:57,600
Okay, / Foxhole sure.
The cap has been portrayed in
1097
01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:02,400
many and I mean, many different
cartoons in Japan, but what can
1098
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:05,800
you expect from a local Legend?
I mean, it makes sense to me.
1099
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:09,600
But if you're like me and don't
regularly partake in Japanese
1100
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:12,600
entertainment, Aunt, here are a
few characters, you'll probably
1101
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:16,399
recognize their at least based
on the Kappa artistically.
1102
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:19,000
Then he Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles.
1103
01:08:19,399 --> 01:08:22,100
Not only look like the
traditional drawings of the
1104
01:08:22,100 --> 01:08:25,899
Kappa, but in the third
live-action movie, The Turtles.
1105
01:08:25,899 --> 01:08:30,000
Go to Japan to rescue April
O'Neil and are mistaken for
1106
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:36,000
kappas by the locals in 2006.
The animated Hellboy film,
1107
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:40,100
Hellboy sort of Swords, the
Kappa is featured as a foe that
1108
01:08:40,100 --> 01:08:42,500
must be too.
Seated in an alternate universe
1109
01:08:43,399 --> 01:08:47,500
in video games, the new Nintendo
GameCube 's Animal Crossing
1110
01:08:47,500 --> 01:08:50,500
featured, a character named
captain that provides
1111
01:08:50,500 --> 01:08:55,500
transportation to the player and
Mario due to the humanoid
1112
01:08:55,500 --> 01:08:57,399
Turtle, like appearance of the
kappas.
1113
01:08:57,399 --> 01:09:00,899
There's an argument to be made
that, the Koopa troopas are
1114
01:09:00,899 --> 01:09:04,500
based off the legend, although
that one may be a far stretch
1115
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:08,500
Final Fantasy 6.
There's an imp.
1116
01:09:09,700 --> 01:09:12,700
There is an impact.
That a character transforms into
1117
01:09:12,700 --> 01:09:17,200
that, definitely is a Kappa
unlike the Koopa Troopers and
1118
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:21,700
like the Koopa troopas.
And Mario this being complete
1119
01:09:21,700 --> 01:09:26,399
with a duckbill mouth and asara
atop its head Pokemon.
1120
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:30,500
I might get these names wrong
because Ludicolo come on guy
1121
01:09:32,700 --> 01:09:36,800
although not entirely similar
design wise, lotad Lombre and
1122
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:39,000
Ludicolo are based off the
Kappa.
1123
01:09:39,899 --> 01:09:42,800
These are just a few examples in
there, tons, more, especially in
1124
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:45,899
film and animation.
Good thing, these examples were
1125
01:09:45,899 --> 01:09:49,200
just based off the capita
design-wise since seeing a
1126
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:52,000
Kappa.
Do what kappas do to April
1127
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,900
O'Neill or Mario would have
probably ruined our childhoods?
1128
01:10:02,900 --> 01:10:05,900
Oh boy.
Do you think that's why King
1129
01:10:05,900 --> 01:10:07,100
Koopas?
I was going out from our.
1130
01:10:07,100 --> 01:10:17,000
Oh maybe maybe he wants that.
I'm sure we could maybe that's
1131
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:23,000
what the star is.
I don't intend.
1132
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:26,000
Oh, it's all in Japanese, man.
It's definitely the Koopas.
1133
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:29,900
The Cooper's are definitely that
because it's Japanese to man and
1134
01:10:29,900 --> 01:10:33,300
yeah I know hurdles as well with
the goofiness, you know, and
1135
01:10:33,300 --> 01:10:35,900
like other Japanese but this
wasn't necessarily like
1136
01:10:35,900 --> 01:10:40,600
exclusively.
Like it's like I really like
1137
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:43,100
that, you know, you don't know,
but this is a perfect example of
1138
01:10:43,100 --> 01:10:45,300
what I was talking about in the
last segment, right?
1139
01:10:45,300 --> 01:10:48,700
We're like, you know, in today's
culture.
1140
01:10:48,700 --> 01:10:50,000
This is what we see.
We see.
1141
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:53,600
But we see new Ninja Turtles and
the cartoons in the Japanese
1142
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:56,400
culture, right?
Of this thing, you know, go back
1143
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:59,500
to the 1600s it was a totally
different perspective on it.
1144
01:10:59,508 --> 01:11:02,100
Go back to 10,000 BC was a
totally different perspective on
1145
01:11:02,100 --> 01:11:03,900
it.
So like that's just kind of
1146
01:11:03,900 --> 01:11:06,700
where we're at right now.
So it's the evolution of the
1147
01:11:06,700 --> 01:11:09,900
perspective of this ancient
creature that must have been
1148
01:11:09,900 --> 01:11:12,400
around at some point in some
way.
1149
01:11:13,500 --> 01:11:20,900
Yeah, if you go back to one of
our earlier episodes, Jake, I
1150
01:11:20,900 --> 01:11:24,100
think this was during your
break, man, at we did a, we did
1151
01:11:24,100 --> 01:11:27,300
an episode on mythology in
Pokemon.
1152
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:33,100
And yeah, we had covered the tie
with Ludicolo and it's
1153
01:11:33,100 --> 01:11:36,200
evolutionary line with the
Kappa.
1154
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:39,200
I mean, we, we talked about it.
Briefly, obviously, you haven't
1155
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:43,000
listened to it?
Yeah, well, believe it or not.
1156
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:46,800
Good episode.
My family is a Pokemon family.
1157
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:51,400
We do play except for my wife,
she's lying but I still love her
1158
01:11:51,900 --> 01:11:58,900
but it is for me it's a way that
I can still talk to my children
1159
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:01,400
with something that I understand
from my childhood.
1160
01:12:01,700 --> 01:12:07,600
So I do partake, I enjoy it all.
That was ruined for me.
1161
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:14,400
I wanted to get into all that
stuff and I almost did And I got
1162
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:18,600
some like, special pack of cards
of like gosh.
1163
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,700
Now I think they were like,
think they're like Yu-Gi-Oh
1164
01:12:21,700 --> 01:12:25,400
cards when I was actually just
first getting into whole thing
1165
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:31,900
but I got it at the fair.
It was like a random like for
1166
01:12:31,900 --> 01:12:34,900
cards.
No one of them was actually
1167
01:12:34,900 --> 01:12:38,900
incredibly rare and I had no
clue what I was looking at.
1168
01:12:38,900 --> 01:12:45,000
And one of the guys at school,
Instantly that it was, he's
1169
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:46,600
like, well, this is a crappy
car.
1170
01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:49,200
He's helped me to set up my deck
in quotes, right?
1171
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:54,200
And so I he gave me a bunch of
cards and then took that one,
1172
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:55,100
he's like, you don't need this
one.
1173
01:12:55,100 --> 01:12:57,100
You need these, these are your
attacking cards easier,
1174
01:12:57,100 --> 01:12:58,500
whatever.
He was just kind of explaining
1175
01:12:58,500 --> 01:12:59,900
it.
And then he took that card, he
1176
01:12:59,900 --> 01:13:01,600
sold it for like, a couple
Grand.
1177
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:05,400
And I was just like and then he
told me about it, he was like,
1178
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:08,300
he's like, I can't believe that
you just let me do that to you.
1179
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:11,600
And he was so smug about it and
it was like, nope, and it just
1180
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:13,500
ruined everything for me.
And I Die.
1181
01:13:13,500 --> 01:13:17,000
That's my that's my Nemesis to
this day.
1182
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:20,400
I would have been upset too.
Like I was just like seriously
1183
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:24,500
that much of a scumbag, you
know, it's like it's what has
1184
01:13:24,500 --> 01:13:26,900
been used to play Magic and I
told him the same thing was get
1185
01:13:26,900 --> 01:13:29,700
back into magic, so we can just
collect all the rare cards.
1186
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:34,800
Yeah, I'm just like, I think it
was something like it was a, it
1187
01:13:34,808 --> 01:13:39,000
was a really like, I don't know
what all the terminology is, but
1188
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:43,100
it was like a misprint and then
there was something else.
1189
01:13:43,300 --> 01:13:46,000
Wrong with it and I'll call
whatever, you know.
1190
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:49,100
But it was just like it just
ruined all of that for me, and
1191
01:13:49,100 --> 01:13:52,000
I'm just like, nope.
I'm just going to do more
1192
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,300
aggressive sports like
paintball, you know?
1193
01:13:55,400 --> 01:14:00,500
Yeah, I did.
I did paintball and Pokemon, so
1194
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:03,200
yeah there.
Yeah.
1195
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:08,600
And there's time in life for
both, like, for both, just not
1196
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:11,400
card games for me, but which is
funny too because, right?
1197
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:13,000
After this, I'm going to be
probably playing card games.
1198
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:18,100
It's so, yeah, but they're not
tcg's or that's just that's
1199
01:14:18,100 --> 01:14:19,700
different.
So how do you want to do this?
1200
01:14:19,700 --> 01:14:21,500
You want me to throw out my
final thoughts or you guys want
1201
01:14:21,500 --> 01:14:23,800
to throw years out first?
Jeff is already gone.
1202
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:27,000
It seems like a cancer.
What are your final thoughts?
1203
01:14:29,300 --> 01:14:33,900
I think I'm convinced that this
is an alien Tyson to see.
1204
01:14:33,900 --> 01:14:38,600
I really like this reptilian
aspect that you brought onto
1205
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:44,100
this and what sold me was the
bipedal thing, 100%. because
1206
01:14:45,300 --> 01:14:49,200
you're right bipedalism is not
necessarily an amphibious thing,
1207
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:56,400
it's reptilian so Yeah, I do.
I lean more towards the alien
1208
01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:57,900
thing.
Now you guys convinced me, I
1209
01:14:57,900 --> 01:15:01,200
think that's really cool.
Well, to really like the idea
1210
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:05,800
that Koopa troopas are capitis
that I think is cool.
1211
01:15:06,500 --> 01:15:08,100
I think they're based on the
cap.
1212
01:15:08,100 --> 01:15:10,500
I don't know if there was a
stretch, I'm just like, there's
1213
01:15:10,500 --> 01:15:13,300
a speaking of that.
Did you guys do the Mario movie
1214
01:15:13,300 --> 01:15:21,000
trailer?
Yeah, looks like the animation.
1215
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:22,200
Looks fantastic.
Is it?
1216
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:25,700
Another live-action version?
Like that one from like the no,
1217
01:15:25,900 --> 01:15:28,900
no it's anatomy.
And let's knock it off and it
1218
01:15:28,900 --> 01:15:31,400
was that I didn't.
I didn't mean to derail the
1219
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:35,800
conversation.
Sorry, I love the live action.
1220
01:15:36,100 --> 01:15:39,300
Mario, you're one of the only
people.
1221
01:15:39,300 --> 01:15:42,900
There was only one person on
there that I actually was like,
1222
01:15:42,900 --> 01:15:47,800
okay I'm okay with that casting.
I hated that cast for the
1223
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:53,300
animated movie.
Yeah, are studded lineups.
1224
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:58,800
It's got like Chris Pratt and
yeah dude voices.
1225
01:16:00,700 --> 01:16:02,400
Jack Black was the only one
there.
1226
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:07,800
I like Jack Black whose
chequebook playing Bowser?
1227
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:11,100
Oh, that's cool.
I didn't.
1228
01:16:11,100 --> 01:16:13,200
I didn't recognize that.
That's, that's fun.
1229
01:16:13,900 --> 01:16:17,600
That's just like trailer.
But I think the movie looks fun.
1230
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:19,800
Anyways, y'all are go ahead,
Jake.
1231
01:16:20,500 --> 01:16:23,800
Alright, final thoughts.
Considering the evidence of the
1232
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:26,900
bones being shown around Japan.
But without them being
1233
01:16:26,900 --> 01:16:31,900
officially studied or tested for
known DNA, Hard to say whether
1234
01:16:31,900 --> 01:16:34,400
this is legit or just Another
Monkey.
1235
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:36,500
Sewn to a fish with magic
powers.
1236
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:39,200
I get that.
There's a certain level of
1237
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:43,600
respect that should go along
with sacred artifacts but a
1238
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:47,200
refusal to allow scientific
study is a breeding ground for
1239
01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:51,100
doubtful viewers or frauds to
parade around their modern day
1240
01:16:51,100 --> 01:16:54,700
snake oil.
Currently, I don't believe the
1241
01:16:54,700 --> 01:16:59,900
Kappa does or has ever existed.
At least not the same being with
1242
01:16:59,900 --> 01:17:02,000
the same.
I'm features attributes or
1243
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:05,600
appetite and given current
Medical Science.
1244
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,700
We know that there isn't a
Lifeforce containing organ in
1245
01:17:08,700 --> 01:17:12,000
our butts.
So there's that unless we're
1246
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:16,000
also being lied to about that
perhaps it was based off for the
1247
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:19,700
Japanese giant salamander or
it's just a mixture of another
1248
01:17:19,700 --> 01:17:23,400
Nations superstitions.
Because there's all those
1249
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:27,200
parallels with all the other, I
don't want to say Cryptids
1250
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:30,100
because it's not necessarily
that but the folklore and
1251
01:17:30,100 --> 01:17:36,700
mythology and stuff in in order
to not just going based off my
1252
01:17:36,700 --> 01:17:39,200
thoughts oh I remember that
thing I was going to talk about
1253
01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:41,900
but just to just kind of toy
around with it.
1254
01:17:41,900 --> 01:17:43,400
I don't want to beat a dead
horse.
1255
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:46,700
I could do every single episode.
I kind of, you know, we all seem
1256
01:17:46,700 --> 01:17:50,700
to have our same opinions but I
think it has a lot to do with
1257
01:17:50,700 --> 01:17:53,700
this writing out of apple and
why people and like all those
1258
01:17:53,700 --> 01:17:58,800
areas and stuff seem to have
very similar Cryptid stories or
1259
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:00,700
folklore rather.
Sorry, I keep saying Cryptid,
1260
01:18:00,700 --> 01:18:04,500
but folklore mythology and maybe
trade routes and stuff you pick
1261
01:18:04,500 --> 01:18:08,200
up stuff over time, okay.
So the other thing that
1262
01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:11,700
reasoning or what it could be.
Now, this is something I
1263
01:18:11,700 --> 01:18:13,800
couldn't find anywhere else
except for that.
1264
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:17,200
Mythical dotnet or whatever that
first website is that Jeff
1265
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:20,200
pulled up.
So leech, babies.
1266
01:18:21,900 --> 01:18:28,400
There was a theory that this
wasn't necessarily a case of a
1267
01:18:28,900 --> 01:18:33,300
boogeyman type thing, but it was
still to deter children from
1268
01:18:33,300 --> 01:18:36,900
going near the river.
And that was because that in
1269
01:18:36,900 --> 01:18:41,800
these small communities in Japan
in the earlier years, there was
1270
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:47,800
a lot of poverty and the what
went along with this poverty was
1271
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:53,500
either a pretty sad, but a Large
number of people that either
1272
01:18:53,500 --> 01:18:56,700
couldn't take care of their
children when they gave birth to
1273
01:18:56,700 --> 01:19:00,200
them.
Or they were so malnourished
1274
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:06,100
that the babies came out, still
stillbirth, right, stillborn and
1275
01:19:06,100 --> 01:19:12,000
they would throw them whether
alive or dead into the rivers to
1276
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:16,100
carry them off and be Spilled
Out into the oceans.
1277
01:19:16,700 --> 01:19:21,100
So maybe this was a whole thing
of keeping children from having
1278
01:19:21,100 --> 01:19:23,800
to witness Things like that.
Like, people throwing their live
1279
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:29,000
infants into the river to just
get rid of them or, or disposing
1280
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:33,700
of dead bodies.
Now, that being said, she's
1281
01:19:33,700 --> 01:19:37,600
Siri, that being said, I looked
up Leach babies to see, you
1282
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:39,300
know, what's the facts behind
this?
1283
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:47,800
I looked up infanticide in
early, Japan, I looked up a
1284
01:19:47,808 --> 01:19:49,500
bunch of different things to
see.
1285
01:19:49,500 --> 01:19:52,200
You know, what's the fact Behind
this.
1286
01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:56,100
And from what I saw, I couldn't
really find any sources.
1287
01:19:56,100 --> 01:19:59,000
I'm not saying that they're not
there, but it was, it was just
1288
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:01,000
that one source where I could
find that information.
1289
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:04,900
So I didn't include that plus.
It's like, man, that's really
1290
01:20:04,900 --> 01:20:09,700
sad.
So we know that historically
1291
01:20:09,700 --> 01:20:12,400
that was the case for other
civilizations.
1292
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:17,500
So I can't see why it wouldn't
be the case for the Japanese, or
1293
01:20:17,500 --> 01:20:23,100
at least an Asian culture in
general, but That was also
1294
01:20:23,100 --> 01:20:26,600
included in that so highlighting
all the different sources of
1295
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:30,100
what it could be.
Although obviously the reason
1296
01:20:30,100 --> 01:20:33,700
why it's on my right up is
because I couldn't go back and
1297
01:20:33,700 --> 01:20:35,800
find any more information on
that.
1298
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:38,300
So it's like, is this actually
legit?
1299
01:20:38,300 --> 01:20:40,900
Or is this just something that's
made up in this article?
1300
01:20:40,900 --> 01:20:43,500
I don't know.
You know, be out the leech
1301
01:20:43,500 --> 01:20:51,200
babies like eech babies very but
honestly, for me, I am more
1302
01:20:51,300 --> 01:20:54,000
along. the lines of this was a
boogeyman or this was like a,
1303
01:20:54,500 --> 01:20:59,100
you know, Just keep your kids
from your accidentally drowning
1304
01:20:59,100 --> 01:21:01,900
themselves by falling into the,
you know, lakes and rivers and
1305
01:21:01,900 --> 01:21:03,500
stuff by telling him something
to eat them.
1306
01:21:04,700 --> 01:21:06,400
Shoot.
I did it with my younger brother
1307
01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:10,100
kept like I had a bunch of, we
had a bunch of fruit trees and
1308
01:21:10,300 --> 01:21:13,400
the back of our house and in the
backyard and he would go over
1309
01:21:13,407 --> 01:21:15,400
there and you rip off all the
green like nectarines and
1310
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:17,500
peaches and stuff and play with
them and so I told him there's a
1311
01:21:17,508 --> 01:21:20,400
plant back there that could eat
him and he didn't mess with him,
1312
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:23,300
you know.
And so it was perfect so yeah,
1313
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:28,700
whatever you got to do, you know
if it works it works if yeah.
1314
01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:32,200
Well, this was fun until delete
babies.
1315
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:36,900
Yep.
Anyway shot.
1316
01:21:37,300 --> 01:21:40,400

congratulations.
1317
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:42,800
I know how's that going,
horrible.
1318
01:21:43,300 --> 01:21:47,700
Anyways, any more thoughts.
Lady and gentlemen.
1319
01:21:49,300 --> 01:21:53,600
Nope.
I think I'm, I'm good.
1320
01:21:53,900 --> 01:21:56,400
I'm glad I saved that for the
very end because I knew it was
1321
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:57,800
going to crush, everyone's
heart.
1322
01:21:58,700 --> 01:22:06,500
