Ringo is so incredibly precious ❤ The fights are incredible I knew of the show since it came out, but I’ve only watched it this year. I wish I’d seen it sooner.
28:15 Kat was pretty close and correct in a lot of what she said (and to be fair, japanese folklore is _pretty_ confusing), it's cool that she's interested in japanese culture. and i don't wanna be that "actuaaaally" kind of guy lol but just some info that i thought might be useful: kami (there's no distinction between singular and plural in japanese) are often translated as "gods", but are more like "spirits"? they're deeply connected to nature and are believed to inhabit all sort of things. the character for kami (神) means "gods", "mind" and "soul", so it's hard to translate. shintō is the polytheistic and animistic religion from Japan that believes in the kami (shintō, 神道, literally means "the kami's way"). there are a lot of syncretic "branches" of shintō and later it took some influence from India and China, but it's also "it's own thing", so it's not really a branch of Hinduism because they're different religions (tho there are kami that come from Hinduism, like some of the Seven gods of Fortune, so maybe Kat remembered that). "hinokami" (火の神) literally means "god of fire" like Kat said, and it's one of the many names for Kagutsuchi no kami, the god of fire in shintō. as we see in Demon Slayer, Tanjirō's dad used to do a kagura (a traditional shintō dance) for that kami, because they worked with charcoal and fire (some ppl venerate specific kami because of their profession or where they live). anyways, i def could be wrong, this is also what i recall from what i've learned, i like japanese culture too. great reaction as always and take care you two! :)
I mixed up a lot of stuff. Buddhism and hinduism, first and foremost. Then because of the similarities between hinduism and shintoism, I then mixed up the two. I guess deity might be the proper translation of kami. In broader terms it describes a supernatural being, and something that is indeed spiritual, but not necessarily a god
Shinto is not related to Hinduism... It was around prior to buddhism coming to japan, and afterwards buddhism and shintoism sorta merged in japan.. Kami are intimately part of Shinto - they are not really "gods" in a western sense. Its a whole area you should take a look at - its hard to explain what they are in a youtube comment :)
to be fair, it kinda is?... shintō has very syncretic characteristics and syncretic "branches". and Japan took influences from India and China as a culture. even between the Seven gods of Fortune there are some kami that come from Hindu-Buddhist traditions from India. not saying that you're completely wrong, just that perhaps Kat was remembering that? but yeah, Shintō is also "it's own thing".
