Plot twist: Linfamy is actually a Yokai. He is the weirdest of the bunch, but also the most entertaining and sweetest of the bunch. Every week he hunts RU-vid and posts a video that provides us knowledge about Japanese History , folktales and other related themes. He is an educated yokai, not a creeper or violent yokai. He sometimes offers key-chains and other prizes for those who answer his riddles and questions correctly.
The yokai that makes invisible walls is actually the world barriers made to keep players from going out of bounds, but unfortunately the players found a glitch where you just need to hit a stick next to the wall to clip through it, I hope the devs fix it though.
If you really had sleep paralysis, you'd be, well, paralysed. So you wouldn't be flipping anything (not even the bird, which is sometimes what I'd like to do to my sleep paralysis demons).
It’s funny because in Portuguese the butthole is literally “the eye of the butt”. Beautiful how two very different cultures are brought together in solidarity around butteyes... ♥️♥️♥️
I’m probably super wrong but IIRC Japan traded with Portugal back in the 1500’s; I wonder if maybe the Japanese story stemmed from Portuguese language?
4:41 "Having long arms is a Japanese way of saying someone who likes to steal" - interesting. In German, a word for thieves basically means "longfinger".
I’d love to believe someone was just SSSOOOO clumsy that they just blamed it on “a ghost”. And then someone ACTUALLY took them seriously and made a folk monster from it. ✨I give you the SUNEKOSURI! ✨
I want there to be a sitcom about a bunch of yokai sharing an apartment. They should all be interesting characters with fleahed-out personalities but also do their random goofy pranks to humans and each other.
Linfamy but the haircuts would all be diarrhea-shaped (if diarrhea even has a shape), it would fail, and it’s an obvious demon. That would be a big oofie.
"Sleep paralysis is when you wake up but your body can't move because your brain thinks you're still tied up naked, hanging from Scarlet Johansson's ceiling" -Wikipedia
Noppera-Bo: ... Makeup artist: here you can have some adjustments- *Who ate my freaking pizza-* Two mouthed woman: o_o I didn't Boy: can someone explain why this bathroom stinks??? Filth licker: I can help get rid of that- Giant Priest: *Attack on titan vibes* Man: yay I finally have a wife now Hair cutter: nah man that's a fox ;-; Man: aw not again Pillow Flipper: *PILLOW FIGHT* Painted wall: *YOU SHALL NOT PASS* *Hit the ground with a stick* Painted wall: aw man Shin rubber: *GIVE ME YOUR LEGS* Butt eye: I'm the best scariest monster Unfinished homework: *Are you sure about that?*
Aweee your intro was cute and spooky. Linfamy: “You gotta watch the video til the very end. Leaving half way, leaves the window open. Leaves a chance for a yokai to escape, and come after you.” Great job on the story telling and pronunciation of the terms. 😁
Actually, with a Japanese bathtub, it would be possible to trap someone in it because it has a cover on it, unlike a lot of traditional western ones like the one he pictured.
It's weird how most of us living on Earth will never meet or even acknowledge each other's existence. For example, if you're reading my comment; this is probably the first and last time you'll ever see me.
In Finland there was this spirit or demon called Painajainen, which means freely translated (correct me if you have a better one), The Presser, which sits on your chest while you sleep and causes the sleep paralyzis. Nowadays it means regular nightmare. Pretty universal belief, i would say.
@@Linfamy Yes, once. When I woke up, I saw pretty lights on the ceiling and couldn't move. Suddenly I saw a figure next to me, it was my 4 y old brother, but it was like he sucked all light out of the room, he was like a void. Then he started smiling, I could see the shining white teeth across his face and he started laughing like a maniac and he started to pile sand on top of me. I tried to scream in horror, but my mouth wouldn't move. Luckily I had read about sleep paralyzis before so I knew what was happening.
I love how Japan takes their ghost and monster stories and markets them to the world, making Yokai as recognisably Japanese as sushi and sumo. The book "Yokai Attack!" by Matt Alt and Hiroko Yoda is a good book on the topic.
YO-KAI WATCH, YO KAI ARE EVERYWHERE CAUSING YOU PROBLEMS MESSIN UP YOUR HAIR, THEY'LL TRIP YOU UP GIVE YOU A FLAT TIRE, LEAVE YOUR SOCKS MISSIN IN THE DRYER
@@xetra3245 yokai make mischief anyware You may not even believe they're there. So let me introduce you to my friend, He's found a way to connect with them!
Went to a Supernatural Japanese Art convention last week. The art was so cool and some somewhat disturbing. Glad Linfamy uses cute artwork when it comes to yokai lol.

Weirdly many ladies I know claim female public toilets/bathrooms are worse than the gents. I can only take their word for this - - Hang on. How do they know whatthe gents toilets look like?
Dammit when you said "pillow flipper" I thought "hell yeah, finally if my pillow is hot it just gets flipped to the cold side" Man. Why you gotta do that to me
Just what I needed for the Holidays, a bunch of Yokai too weird to make the cut for Inuyasha! Thanks Linfamy and Happy Holidays! Kudos for including work by Shigeru Mizuki!
6:19 when I was little I would wake up at the foot of my bed in the same position as when I fell asleep my pillow till at the top of my bed this happens once in a while but my pillow is completely gone in the storage closet I think I have one flowing me plus they stay in Japan if I'm right I live in the United States of America, think this one left
@@Linfamy my idea for a anime main guy yokai a Fuku ge no keshin Vengeance Incarnate... mob bosses, rapists, murderers, and many others among the targets of a modern era justice seeking spirit... drug dealers, pimps, small time robbers or any low lvl punk just get a right beating,... druggies, prostitutes, kid pickpockets just treated with respect and get the help they need... the worst fate getting to the real cancers of humanity a drug kingpin runs a small town get his comeuppance by being thrown into a vat of acid to represent the poison he gave the people of japan, a money launderer get a pallet of stolen cash weighing a few tons dropped on him for the greed of his banking pratices, and the corrupt official gets a far worse fate then death, his entire life inshambles: his family disowns him, his adulteress leaves him, his fortune is gone, his image and reputation tarnished, and every other thing he build using corruption is torn... begging for sweat death only for him to take his own life before the police arrive: he lived by using his power and people only to died with nothing and alone... a innocent who built his life perfectly only for it to get ripped from him from a simple robbery gone bad... a spirit of country wide vengeance... The Drug of Death of Hokaido, The Greed's Fallen of Kyoto, The Ghost Assassin of Tokyo... The Yokai of Evil's End the Fuku ge no Kenshin: Vengeance Incarnate
"there is a catch tho, you have to watch till the end or a window will open letting the yoka....." say no more senpai. *closes browser letting yokai out*
A person with no face jump out of the monitor and greeted you, you thought it was just a noppera-bo doing its shenanigans... Until it started stripping
I disagree wholeheartedly about a woman having a cleaner bathroom. I've lived with 6 different women in my life and NONE of them kept the bathroom clean.
I am proud to say that I thoroughly clean my bathroom once a week! Same with my room. Cant say the same for the rest of my family, but at least they try at times.
@@JynnxeGaming Especially when the bathroom isn't their own, so they don't have to clean it up. Like fine, some messes can be accidents. But others are quite obviously deliberate, I certainly don't belive that a used sanitary pad accidentally finds itself stuck to the ceiling...let alone more than one... xP
I also have to agree. When I went over to my best friend's house for a sleepover, the bathroom was ALWAYS in a state of chaos. My best friend lived with her mom and her sister and the bathroom was NEVER clean when I went there. Also the sink was almost always clogged, I assume from the massive amounts of hair that went down there. It was really gross actually. 🤢
I thought I was the only one outside of Japan who had even heard of the wall poltergeist But in the book I read the way to get rid of it was to tickle it in a particular spot
0:16 "Leaving Halfway leaves a window for a Yokai to escape and come after you." Me: *Plays Touhou and REALLY wants Yukari Yakumo to come after me, so I leave halfway and come back on purpose*
The Dodomeki. Oh so thats where Kishimoto got Danzo's arm inspiration from The Kamikiri. Does anyone realize thats also a character's name in BnHA and his quirk is basically growing blades on any side of the body?
omg that pillow flipper.... i have an aunt who woke up one morning with her head at the foot of the bed and her bed remade backwards, with the blankets tucked in at the head and her pillow at the foot. she always figured she had sleepwalked, but MAYBE IT WAS THE PILLOW-FLIPPER!!
@@Linfamysome of these monsters are far worse you can imagine.. skeleton whales, igloos that eat you, don't get me started on the one that makes sea-monsters look weak the umi-bozu
@@dakotacross1519 there's also the infamous Tanuki, Satori, Jorougumo, Tsuchigumo, Nekomata, the infamous Tengu and Oni, Tsukumogami, that thing that lives in the seaside that i forgot the name of, and others. Really, Japan's list of youkai is a fuck ton.
