I love how Japanese mythos made it into pop culture and other forms of media. In Mortal Kombat, they inspired Raiden and Fujin. In Smite, Raijin is one of the top gods played, I do hope they add Fujin since they're adding Tsukoyomi anyway.
Raijin: ... ok boy... fetch! Random villager: i'll just sit beneath this tree and... *sudden thunder destroys tree* Villager: by the gods what has befallen our cursed existance Meanwhile, Raijin: good boi Raiju: woof woof
At least in the Mortal Kombat game, they finally acknowledge the two as brothers just like in the actual mythology. It also to see these two appear in a lot of modern day Japan media like Naruto, Final Fantasy and there was even a NJPW tag team who had their names.
A 100 years passed and my brother and i discovered the new avatar an airbender named aang, although his airbending skills are great he has alot to learn before he is ready to save anyone. But i belive aang can save the world
*Raijin & Fujin in 1945s* Raijin : Hey bro you think we should bring down that plane? Fujin : It's just one plane, don't worry bro *KABOOM* "Well about that..."
Standing here I realize You are just like me Trying to make history But who’s to judge The right from wrong When our guard is down I think we’ll both agree That violence breeds violence But in the end it has to be this way I’ve carved my own path You followed your wrath But maybe we’re both the same The world has turned And so many have burned But nobody is to blame Yet staring across this barren wasted land I feel new life will be born Beneath the blood stained sand Beneath the blood stained sand Official lyrics from Platinum Games
All of these people thinking of avatar.........so basic while I am thinking of the beginning of that one Hex girls song from Scooby-Doo doo curse of the phantom witch.
And interesting to concur - there are usually guardian gods that guard Chinese temples almost identical to Japanese gods - one is the “rui” or lightning and the other is the “fung” or wind. Woww😮😮 Japanese and Chinese more strangely related at times than you think. Who on earth knew.
