Reiwa no Dara-san - Vol. 8 Ch. 59

[giubba85]

Damn i want more of the grown up gang

Thanks as always for the translations!



So is Ryukan a centipede yokai like Mr. Snek is, obviously, a snake yokai? I wonder if there are any other animals in Japan that are famous spiritually like that. I know crows = tengu, there are spider ladies, and of course snake gods, but are there others I'm forgetting?

Foxe's, Weasels, Raccoon dogs, And there used to be legends about the Japanese wolf before they went extinct.

"hey if y'all wanna make this a snake mountain that's chill. but I'm gonna be watching over shit. check out this sickass sword. Centipede dude out."

There he is, the last guy from the artbook.

what artbook

 

[ampnaman]

So those were antennae, not horns! Dude was an Ōmukade, huh. Pretty much a giant centipede that eats dragons. Fitting for them to be named "dragon feast".

 

[danvolodar]

what artbook

Check the Related section for the manga.

 

[Guyincognitus]

They're still wandering around in the Night Parade, it will take decades or centuries before they fully turn into Yokai.

Have their ghosts shown up or something. All I recall is their corpses being eaten by a monster thing. I figured they were just regular dead.

 

[Lamiapits]

So what did he do with that bead thou? Did he modified it so Dara san is related to him? Yokai are quite different to humans so I bet there are certain requirements for them to reproduce.

He doesn't need to do anything with it but it does make him one of Jurota's family. There was no requirement to have children with the pill, so it's simply that that Branch of Jurota's bloodline is, for now, only Ryukan.

That could change though, since the previous chapter does establish that even adopted children can be influenced by the branching black pearl.

It would be fun to see a flashback of snek and centipede fight. I bet snek did something to centipede which in turn caused centipede to help Dara san.

All I'm gonna say is: Look forward to chapter 65

 

[Fantasie841]

Oh, an Omukade!

I hope we get to see more of him in the future, they are probably my favourite kind of yokai.

They're in the first panel of Page 10 in Chapter 16. Funny enough their bodies were shown being eaten in the first panel of Page 10 in Chapter 15.

After the MCs have access and start hanging out in Dara-san's house in the otherworld, Hinata witnesses a Hyakki Yagyo from the window and you see the ghosts of the streamer and her cameraman in the procession

There are actually quite a lot of creature myths in Japan. To name some of the more famous ones you have evil foxes like Tamamo-No-Mae, good foxes like Kuzunoha and Inari-Okami (who is a god but foxes are consider their messanger), crows like the Karasu-Tengu and Yatagarsu, Kappa can be likened to turtles. In stories dogs are usually likened to good omens and fortune like with the Old Man and the Cherry tree. Birds are also a common one such as the Tongue Cut Sparrow and the Crane Returns a favor. Even a story about a Clam turning into a woman.

Japans "8 Million Kami" means that basically any and everything can be a god or demon, and often it comes down to local legends.

Omukade was specifically a monster centipede that could wrap around mountains, and was defeated by Fujiwara no Hidesato/Tawara Touta after he covered his arrow in spit, as for some odd reason it saliva could bypass its armor.

For snakes the most famous is the Yamata no Orochi, who was slain by Susanoo after getting it drunk, Nure-onna which are snakes with the head of women, and while not directly a snake Kiyohime turned into one to chase down Anchin.

 

[JumboWheat01]

Boyo's just too mentally strong for his own good.

 

[Belkin]

he really likes to test his luck, lmao

You've also got Koma-inu, which are those lion dog statues you sometimes see around Buddhist temples and shrines. You've got Raijuu, which are some kind of manifestation of lightning. You've got spider yokais too, which can be good or bad depending on their lore. And let's not forget the cat yokais. We've got a budding Nekomata in this manga, after all. You've also got some related to the dead, which take odd appearances, like the Itsumade (Thanks, Shin Megami Ten).

Kaoru is fearless indeed, but why did the previous mountain god opened that portal to bring him there? 🤔

 

[Yanqui9]

An Omukade, eh? I didn't know the reference but I figured it must be something. Just as long as no one spits on him! And I gotta say... the modern Nagi might have no powers or spiritual sense (high defense though) but she is HOT! LOL!

 

[Yanqui9]

Kaoru is fearless indeed, but why did the previous mountain god opened that portal to bring him there? 🤔

The bracelet Kaoru wears that is made from Dara-san's hair seemed to be the trigger. Then again, Ryukan might have allowed it too. He may have sensed Dara-san's power from the kid and was like "what the heck?" and so let him in to check him out. And he got some little fearless chad!

 

[asfhoiasfjoiasfjpi]

And so the Centipede Yokai makes his appearance.
I was kinda expecting the Streamer and her Cameraman to have an appearance here but guess that's not gonna happen.

"his"?

 

[suburbanerrorist_]

Kaoru passed the ancient yokai’s vibe check.
