Reiwa no Dara-san - Vol. 7 Ch. 53

[Swagner]

Hey now the snake has/had it just as bad and didn’t deserve the pain it suffered

... we are talking about the man-eating giant snake that villagers were sacrificing maidens to until the exorcists showed up, right?

六十里 Tsuijufi

Tsuijufi is 60, not 80.

On a side note, a lot of stories that involve entities hundreds of years old hiding among modern-day humans (the possessing oni from this chapter, or the usual urban vampire milleau) tend to miss the language aspect of it. Like, if you heard someone talk your native language the way that was the norm hundreds of years ago, you'd pick up it sounding strange immediately.

Lol the siblings finally fuflfill their role as the snake god's minions, Was expecting to see a giant after chapter lore paragraph on how they based the messenger design on some in-universe game or obscure cultural reference

Also, Big Ass Dog Poop

How can she be blamed for what she did unknowingly?

It's not 'blame' per se but, according to what I know of Japanese folklore, she basically became ultra-impure by engaging repeatedly with things like cadavers and cannibalism (don't tell me she didn't know what kind of meat she ate). I think that, in this story, her transgressions (罪, tsumi) and ritual impurity (穢れ, kegare) became so great that she was punished accordingly, by taking her humanity away. I don't think it was a moral judgement, but some sort of cosmic reaction to her state of impurity.

And, once again, I'm not a trained folklorist, so please do not take my word at face value and make some researches on this subject if you want to know for sure.

Yes, we already been shown from The snakes personality(keeps Saving/helping people, the whole dorky possession ) and one little page flashback 5-chapters or so ago that something happened to it that set it on the path to be an evil Tyrant.

i mean these are the same villagers that easily turn on Dara, I won’t be surprised if the snake was innocent in the first place And just made a scrapegoat by someone else.

Maybe with the previous scanlators

Akou and Unjo... Yeah let's create a new bit of folklore directly connected to Hinata and Kaoru this will not have consequences and will in fact be completely fine.


Which I'm sure it actually will. This is officially enshrining them as messengers to Yamatagi Madara and i'm sure if it comes to that they'll be happy to keep bothering her for centuries to come.

The resulting spirits probably won't be them, but will likely subconsciously inherit parts of their nature...

Anyways it's something fast in the future if it even happens

 

[unknown081]

I'm not sure if the daughter actually realize what the dad did or she just has an inkling that her father was definitely doing something for her

'it has no power for now' lolololol Kaoru will be all in for it when the time comes (or cry that he's not the one getting power)
